Abstract

Bottle with variable volume, in particular made of plastic material, in which the body of the bottle has at least one zone 4 constituted by multiple, concentric, cylindrical rings 5 with an inverted frustoconical surface whose thickness is less than that of the other parts of the wall of the bottle in order to be able, by deforming these rings 5 under pressure, to reduce the internal volume of the bottle while retaining the strength of the bottle in order to prevent leakages and retaining its good vertical stability.

Description

On utilise de plus en plus des bouteilles en matière plastique pour la vente au grand public de liquides divers et tout particulièrement de liquides alimentaires tels que des boissons gazeuses. Plastic bottles are used more and more for the sale to the general public of various liquids and very particularly of food liquids such as carbonated drinks.

Mais, ces bouteilles présentent l'inconvénient que, lorsqu'elles sont en partie vides, le gaz contenu dans la boisson s'échappe du liquide et la qualité et le goût de cette boisson s'en trouvent diminués et parfois même la boisson est presque imbuvable. However, these bottles have the disadvantage that, when they are partially empty, the gas contained in the drink escapes from the liquid and the quality and taste of this drink are reduced and sometimes even the drink is almost undrinkable.

On ne peut pas déformer temporairement ces bouteilles en partie vide pour en réduire le volume sans risquer de les détériorer et provoquer des ruptures de la paroi de la bouteille et donc des fuites du liquide contenu. These partially empty bottles cannot be temporarily deformed in order to reduce their volume without risking damaging them and causing ruptures of the wall of the bottle and therefore leakage of the liquid contained.

De plus, lorsqu'une déformation se produit accidentellement il en résulte une perte totale de la stabilité de la bouteille. In addition, when a deformation occurs accidentally, this results in a total loss of the stability of the bottle.

La présente invention a donc pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénienes en créant une bouteille à volume variable réalisée en matière plastique et elle s'étend également à son procédé de fabrication. The present invention therefore aims to remedy these drawbacks by creating a variable volume bottle made of plastic and it also extends to its manufacturing process.

Conformément à l'invention, la bouteille à volume variable spécialement en matière plastique est caractérisée en ce que le corps de la bouteille présente au moins une zone constituée par de multiples anneaux cylindriques, concentriques à face tronconique inversée dont I'épaisseur est inférieure aux autres parties de la paroi de la bouteille pour pouvoir en déformant ces anneaux par pression diminuer le volume interne de la bouteille mais en gardant à la bouteille sa résistance pour éviter les fuites et sa bonne stabilité verticale. According to the invention, the variable volume bottle specially made of plastic material is characterized in that the body of the bottle has at least one zone constituted by multiple concentric cylindrical rings with an inverted frustoconical face whose thickness is less than the others parts of the wall of the bottle to be able by deforming these rings by pressure to decrease the internal volume of the bottle but keeping the bottle its resistance to avoid leaks and its good vertical stability.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les zones du corps central constitué par des anneaux cylindriques, concentriques forment des zones de moindre résistance à la déformation tout en gardant leur étanchéité.  According to another characteristic of the invention, the zones of the central body constituted by concentric cylindrical rings form zones of least resistance to deformation while keeping their seal.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit. Various other characteristics of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention sont représentées, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, aux dessins annexés. Embodiments of the object of the invention are shown, by way of nonlimiting examples, in the accompanying drawings.

La fig. 1 est une élévation de face d'une bouteille à volume variable par repliage en accordéon conforme à l'invention. Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a variable volume bottle by accordion folding according to the invention.

La fig. 2 est une élévation d'une autre forme de la même bouteille mais comportant deux zones en accordéon avec des coupes partielles montrant les diverses épaisseurs de la paroi de la bouteille. Fig. 2 is an elevation of another form of the same bottle but comprising two accordion zones with partial sections showing the various thicknesses of the wall of the bottle.

La fig. 3 est une élévation de face d'une bouteille semblable à celle de la fig. l mais avec une zone en accordéon, plus petite que celle de la fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a bottle similar to that of FIG. l but with an accordion area, smaller than that of fig. 1.

A la fig. 1, on a représenté une bouteille l comportant une zone inférieure cylindrique 2 dont le fond 3 est légèrement convexe pour assurer une meilleure stabilité de la bouteille. On peut également prévoir un double fond du genre employé déjà pour les bouteilles en matière plastique devant contenir des liquides gazeux. In fig. 1, a bottle 1 is shown comprising a cylindrical lower zone 2, the bottom 3 of which is slightly convex to ensure better stability of the bottle. One can also provide a double bottom of the kind already used for plastic bottles to contain gaseous liquids.

La zone inférieure 2 est surmontée par un corps central 4 constitué par de multiples anneaux cylindriques concentriques 5 à faces tronconiques inversées et dont l'épaisseur comme cela est représenté à la fig. 2, est plus mince que la paroi du fond 2 et du sommet 6 semisphérique de la bouteille, sommet terminé par un goulot 7 fermé normalement par un bouchon 8. The lower zone 2 is surmounted by a central body 4 constituted by multiple concentric cylindrical rings 5 with inverted frustoconical faces and whose thickness as shown in FIG. 2, is thinner than the wall of the bottom 2 and of the semispherical top 6 of the bottle, top ended by a neck 7 normally closed by a plug 8.

Lorsque la bouteille est pleine d'un liquide, par exemple un liquide alimentaire gazeux, elle est fermée par le bouchon 8 assurant une étanchéité parfaite. When the bottle is full of a liquid, for example a gaseous food liquid, it is closed by the cap 8 ensuring a perfect seal.

Mais, lorsque lton a en partie consommé le liquide alimentaire gazeux, la bouteille se trouve vidée partiellement et il suffit alors d'abaisser, dans le sens de la flèche F1 le corps central 4 en accordéon pour amener le liquide restant dans la bouteille jusque dans le goulot 7 puis de refermer cette bouteille à l'aide du bouchon 8. But, when lton has partially consumed the gaseous food liquid, the bottle is partially emptied and it then suffices to lower, in the direction of arrow F1 the central body 4 in accordion to bring the liquid remaining in the bottle into the neck 7 then close this bottle using the cap 8.

Ainsi, cette bouteille à volume variable est toujours pleine et bien fermée hermétiquement par le bouchon 8 ; de ce fait, les gaz contenus dans le liquide alimentaire ne s'échappent pas. Thus, this variable volume bottle is always full and tightly closed hermetically by the cap 8; therefore, the gases contained in the liquid food do not escape.

A la fig. 2, le corps central comporte deux zones 4a, 4a' constituées par de multiples anneaux cylindriques 5 et une zone centrale 4b cylindrique de façon à permettre la mise en place soit directement, soit à l'aide d'une bande, d'indications diverses telles que par exemple une bande portant la marque du produit et les informations nécessaires à sa consommation. In fig. 2, the central body comprises two zones 4a, 4a 'constituted by multiple cylindrical rings 5 and a central cylindrical zone 4b so as to allow the positioning, either directly or using a strip, of various indications such as for example a strip bearing the brand of the product and the information necessary for its consumption.

On peut ainsi diminuer le volume habituel deux fois en abaissant d'abord la zone supérieure d'anneaux multiples 5 (zone 4a puis ensuite une deuxième fois en abaissant la zone inférieure 4a'). It is thus possible to decrease the usual volume twice by first lowering the upper zone of multiple rings 5 (zone 4a and then a second time by lowering the lower zone 4a ').

Le fonctionnement est identique à celui décrit précédemment. The operation is identical to that described above.

Finalement, à la fig. 3, la bouteille 1 présente une zone cylindrique inférieure 2 surmontée d'une zone centrale 4b formée par de multiples anneaux cylindriques 5 à face tronconique inversée comme dans les cas précédents et la bouteille se termine par une partie cylindrosphérique surmontée du goulot 7 et du bouchon 8. Finally, in fig. 3, the bottle 1 has a lower cylindrical zone 2 surmounted by a central zone 4b formed by multiple cylindrical rings 5 with an inverted frustoconical face as in the previous cases and the bottle ends in a cylindrical part surmounted by the neck 7 and the stopper 8.

Là encore, la zone 4b comporte des parois plus minces que le restant des parois de la bouteille pour permettre une déformation de celle-ci comme expliqué ci-dessus mais en lui donnant toujours une excellente stabilité. Again, the zone 4b has thinner walls than the rest of the walls of the bottle to allow deformation of the latter as explained above but still giving it excellent stability.

Il est également possible de prévoir des zones de moindre résistance mais très souples sur les parties saillantes et internes des anneaux cylindriques concentriques 5 surtout dans les angles 5b, 5c afin de garder sur les côtés plans des anneaux une grande résistance à la pression.  It is also possible to provide zones of lower resistance but very flexible on the projecting and internal parts of the concentric cylindrical rings 5 especially in the angles 5b, 5c in order to keep on the flat sides of the rings a high resistance to pressure.

Ces différentes variantes de bouteilles déformables évitent, lorsque le contenu de la bouteille a été vidé partiellement, la formation d'une poche d'air ou des gaz à la partie supérieure de la bouteille et donc comme déjà indiqué permettent de garder le goût de la boisson alimentaire parfaitement constant. These different variants of deformable bottles avoid, when the contents of the bottle have been partially emptied, the formation of an air or gas pocket at the top of the bottle and therefore, as already indicated, make it possible to keep the taste of the perfectly constant food drink.

Bien entendu, la matière plastique utilisée estdite alimentaire c'est à dire qu'elle est conforme aux règlements pour la vente au grand public. Of course, the plastic used is food grade, that is to say that it complies with regulations for sale to the general public.

La bouteille est le plus généralement réalisée par moulage par des procédés normalement utilisés , ce moulage permettant une répartition judicieuse de la matière de façon à obtenir dans les zones d'anneaux multiples cylindriques, concentriques une épaisseur moindre que pour les parties cylindriques ou cylindrosphériques afin d'assurer une résistance correcte de la bouteille pendant son usage et permettre d'obtenir un effet mécanique de déformation des zones d'anneaux 5 (zones 4, 4a, 4a', 4b) neutralisées en cas de compression du fait de la fermeture hermétique du bouchon 8 sur le goulot 7.  The bottle is most generally produced by molding by normally used processes, this molding allowing a judicious distribution of the material so as to obtain in the zones of multiple cylindrical, concentric rings a thickness less than for the cylindrical or cylindrospheric parts in order to '' ensure correct resistance of the bottle during use and allow to obtain a mechanical effect of deformation of the ring zones 5 (zones 4, 4a, 4a ', 4b) neutralized in the event of compression due to the hermetic closure of the cap 8 on neck 7.
