Abstract

Screw cap with an integral internal spike, for puncturing a diaphragm seal across the mouth of a plastic container, also carries on the spike a separate sleeve with a flanged head and one or more arrowhead profile ribs alongside the tip of the spike. Upon insertion, the sleeve is also driven partly through the diaphragm and retained there to provide a (calibrated) smooth bore outlet for the contents of the container after the cap with its spike is removed. Esp. suitable for discharging liquids more consistently than the typical irregular tear left by a plain spike. Opt. the cap skirt may be extended by a fragile hem to break upon and indicate initial use of sufficient travel of the cap to puncture the diaphragm.

Description

La présente invention a trait au domaine des systèmes de fermeture de récipients, par bouchon de type inviolable ou non. Elle concerne tout particulièrement un nouveau dispositif de bouchage et de perforation pour des flacons en matière plastique a col filete. The present invention relates to the field of container closure systems, with a tamper-evident type or not. It relates more particularly to a new closure and perforation device for plastic bottles with a threaded neck.

On connait et utilise depuis de nombreuses années des réceptacles, notamment des flacons, destinés à contenir des liquides -comme par exemple une composition pharmaceutique- dont le col fileté reçoit un bouchon à vis à l'intérieur et sur le haut duquel se trouve une tige ou pointe dont le but est d'assurer le percement du méplat du col fileté lors de la forte pression exercée par l'opération de vissage du bouchon sur le col du récipient. Au moment du dévissage, la perforation est réduite à un diamètre inférieur à celui de la pointe du fait du rétreint de la matière plastique utilisée pour la confection du flacon. Receptacles, in particular vials, intended to contain liquids - such as, for example, a pharmaceutical composition - have been known and used for many years, the threaded neck of which receives a screw cap inside and at the top of which is a rod. or point whose purpose is to ensure the piercing of the flat of the threaded neck during the high pressure exerted by the operation of screwing the stopper onto the neck of the container. When unscrewing, the perforation is reduced to a diameter smaller than that of the tip due to the shrinking of the plastic used for making the bottle.

Dans les systèmes de fermetures perforantes de ce type, la matière plastique (par exemple en polyéthylène ou autre) généralement de faible épaisseur se déchire plus ou moins lors de la sortie de la pointe et donne lieu à une perforation imparfaite eu égard à son diamètre, ce quoi conduit à la production ultérieure de jets de liquide peu fiables, et souvent d'ailleurs à l'apparition de plusieurs jets polydirectionnels. Cet inconvénient n'est pas catastrophique lorsqu'il s'agit d'une utilisation du produit en goutte à goutte, comme par exemple dans le cas d'un collyre, mais il devient très sérieux quand l'on cherche à obtenir un écoulement régulier et une dose bien déterminée du liquide plus ou moins visqueux. In perforating closure systems of this type, the plastics material (for example polyethylene or the like), generally of small thickness, tears more or less at the exit of the point and gives rise to imperfect perforation having regard to its diameter, which leads to the subsequent production of unreliable liquid jets, and often, moreover, to the appearance of several polydirectional jets. This drawback is not catastrophic when it is a use of the product in a drip, as for example in the case of an eye drop, but it becomes very serious when one seeks to obtain a regular flow. and a well-determined dose of the more or less viscous liquid.

L'invention a pour but d'obvier à cet inconvénient et de résoudre la difficulté d'obtention d'un trou de diamètre uniforme et bien déterminé lors de la perforation des cols de flacons en matière plastique par les bouchons connus de type précité. The object of the invention is to obviate this drawback and to solve the difficulty of obtaining a hole of uniform diameter and well determined during the perforation of the necks of plastic bottles by known caps of the aforementioned type.

A cet effet, le système perfectionné de bouchage et perforation selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que la pointe perforante du bouchon vis connu en soi est entourée d'un insert ou canule de diamètre interne calibré, emmanché(e) de force dans cette pointe, apte å s'introduire dans le col fileté du flacon lors de la perforation et à rester immobilisé(e) dans celui-ci lors des opérations de vissage et dévissage du flacon.  To this end, the improved closure and perforation system according to the invention is characterized in that the perforating tip of the screw cap known per se is surrounded by an insert or cannula of calibrated internal diameter, force-fitted in this tip, able to enter the threaded neck of the bottle during perforation and to remain immobilized in it during the screwing and unscrewing operations of the bottle.

L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif illustré par les dessin annexés qui représentent schématiquement
. Figure 1 : une vue nartielle. en coupe, d'un flacon en
matière clastique dont le col a vis est équipé

The invention will be better understood from the detailed description of a nonlimiting embodiment illustrated by the appended drawings which schematically represent

Copte on peut le voir sur la figure 1 coaparative, les bouchons perforants connus jusqu'ici sont constitués par une coiffe filetée I moulée en une seule pie ce avec une tige ou pointe 2 de perforation qssa, lors du vissage de la coiffe, provoque le percement de la partie supérieure du col fileté 3 du récipient 4. Coptic can be seen in Figure 1 coaparative, the perforating plugs known so far are constituted by a threaded cap I molded in a single piece this with a rod or point 2 of perforation qssa, when screwing the cap, causes the drilling the upper part of the threaded neck 3 of the container 4.

Conformément au perfectionnement de l'invention illustré sur les figures 2, on engage de force sur la tige perforante 2 une canule ou insert 5 dont le diamètre calibré et parfaitement régulier est légèrement inférieur au diamètre extérieur de la tige 2. Cet insert est de préférence réalisé en matière plastique Souple ou semi-rigidb, comme lé. autres parties constitutives du dispositif, de façon à utiliser l'élasticité du matériau pour l'introduction en force de
I'insert autour de son mandarin.
In accordance with the improvement of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 2, a cannula or insert 5 is forcibly engaged on the perforating rod 2 whose calibrated and perfectly regular diameter is slightly less than the external diameter of the rod 2. This insert is preferably made of flexible or semi-rigidb plastic, as shown. other constituent parts of the device, so as to use the elasticity of the material for the force introduction of
The insert around his mandarin.

La conformation de l'insert 5 est étudiée de façon que cet élément puisse aisément provoquer l'agrandissement du trou initié par la pointe 2 sur le col du récipient 4 puis être fermement naintenz sur ce col lors des opérations successives de dévissage puis retissage en cours d'utilisation du flacon. Ainsi, selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse, l'extrémité inférieure de l'insert est taillée en forme de V dont les rebords d'ailes serviront à retenir l'insert sur le col 3 du récipient lors d'un dévissage un peu brutal. Par ailleurs, l'autre extrémité de l'insert est constituée par un épaulement cylindrique dont les bords en saillie reposent sur la face extérieure plane du col. The conformation of the insert 5 is studied so that this element can easily cause the enlargement of the hole initiated by the tip 2 on the neck of the container 4 then be firmly naintenz on this neck during the successive operations of unscrewing then reweaving in progress use of the bottle. Thus, according to an advantageous embodiment, the lower end of the insert is cut into a V shape, the flanges of the wings of which will serve to retain the insert on the neck 3 of the container during a somewhat brutal unscrewing. Furthermore, the other end of the insert consists of a cylindrical shoulder whose projecting edges rest on the flat outer face of the neck.

Ces bords en saillie Peuvent etre avantazeusement effilés sur leur nourtour de façon à ne nas créer de Point d'accrochaae avec la face intérieure du bouchon 1 lors des dévissages.These projecting edges can be advantageously tapered on their nourtour so as not to create a point of attachment with the inner face of the plug 1 during unscrewing.

La base du bouchon fileté I Peut etre munie d'une collerette
d'inviolabilité 6 ou bague d'énaisseur aui est alors à enlever avant la Première opération de vissage. Toutefois cet élément annexe neut être sunnrimé et ne fait Pas Dartie des caractéristiques de l'invention.
The base of the threaded plug I Can be fitted with a flange
tamper evident 6 or thickness ring aui is then to be removed before the First screwing operation. However, this additional element cannot be omitted and does not make Dartie the characteristics of the invention.

On voit sur les fieures 2 les phases opérationnelles successives pour l'utilisation du système de fermeture-perforation selon l'inven tion. En 2 a, la tige 2 du bouchon, munie de sa canule 5 est en position d'attente, correspondant à la livraison et au stockage du flacon. - La phase 2 b est bien entendu la perforation avec mise en place automatique, en fin de vissage,de la canule 5 sur l'extrémité- supérieure du col du récipient. La figure 2 c illustre l'utilisation du flacon avec son bouchon I prêt a être revissé après usage. We see on the fieurs 2 successive operational phases for the use of the closure-perforation system according to the invention. In 2 a, the stem 2 of the stopper, provided with its cannula 5 is in the standby position, corresponding to the delivery and storage of the bottle. - Phase 2b is of course the perforation with automatic positioning, at the end of screwing, of the cannula 5 on the upper end of the neck of the container. Figure 2c illustrates the use of the bottle with its cap I ready to be screwed back on after use.

Grâce à l'insert de diamètre calibré selon l'invention, il devient possible d'obtenir, par pression sur le récipient, des jets directionnels parfaits de liquide, ceci quelle que soit la viscosité de ce dernier. Cela est particulièrement appréciable lorsqu'on désire injecter des doses de liquide bien déterminées et en des points précis, par exemple quand il s'agit de praduits pharmaceutiques. Thanks to the calibrated diameter insert according to the invention, it becomes possible to obtain, by pressure on the container, perfect directional jets of liquid, this whatever the viscosity of the latter. This is particularly appreciable when it is desired to inject well-defined doses of liquid and at specific points, for example when it is a question of pharmaceutical praducts.

L'invention n'est toutefois pas limitée à l'application des flacons de médicaments et s'étend à tous autres usages de récentacles munis du système susdéctit. The invention is however not limited to the application of medicine bottles and extends to all other uses of recentacles fitted with the above-mentioned system.
