Abstract

The invention relates to an improved closing device for containers. According to the invention the lid 5, in the folded down closed position, has its grasping end 8 protected and hidden behind a tear-off tongue 9 which is part of the cap 1 of the container. The invention applies in particular to foodstuffs.

Description

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fermeture pour récipients comportant un goulot qui se termine par une capsuLe sur Laquelle s'articule un couvercle permettant dans une position d'ouverture du couvercle de dégager un orifice au moins de versement formé sur le dessus de la capsule, et dans une position de fermeture rabattue sur la capsule, d'obturer Ledit orifice. The subject of the invention is a closure device for receptacles comprising a neck which ends in a cap on which is articulated a cover allowing in an open position of the cover to release at least one orifice formed on the top of the capsule, and in a closed position folded over the capsule, to close said orifice.

On connaît de plus en plus des récipients comprenant un tel dispositif et qui ont L'avantage de faciliter les opérations d'ouverture et de fermeture sans crainte d'égarer Le bouchon et facilitant également l'utilisation du produit contenu dans le récipient. Ce genre de fermeture se généralise notamment pour les produits d'entretien ménager ainsi que pour Les cosmétiques, shampooings et autres. There are more and more known containers comprising such a device and which have the advantage of facilitating opening and closing operations without fear of losing the cap and also facilitating the use of the product contained in the container. This kind of closure is generalized in particular for household cleaning products as well as for cosmetics, shampoos and others.

De façon à assurer l'inviolabilité du récipient avant sa commercialisation, il est d'usage de placer par dessus le goulot et le bouchon ou le couvercle qui ferme le récipient une bande de sécurité ou une étiquette qui devra être déchirée. In order to ensure the inviolability of the container before it is marketed, it is customary to place over the neck and the stopper or the lid which closes the container, a security strip or a label which must be torn.

L'invention a pour objet un perfectionnement à ce dispositif de fermeture qui assure une inviolabilité du récipient avant le premier usage et évite d'avoir à utiliser une bande de sécurité rapportée après coup sur le récipient et obligeant le fabricant à une opération supplémentaire de manutention et d'empaquetage. The subject of the invention is an improvement to this closing device which ensures the inviolability of the container before the first use and avoids having to use a safety strip added afterwards to the container and requiring the manufacturer to perform an additional handling operation. and packaging.

L'invention s'applique en particulier au domaine de l'alimentation où il est particulièrement important que le consommateur puisse s'assurer que le produit qu'il achète n'a pas déjà été ouvert et le contenu du récipient en partie utilisé.The invention applies in particular to the food sector where it is particularly important that the consumer can ensure that the product he is buying has not already been opened and the contents of the container partly used.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention, du type général ci-dessus présenté, comprenant une capsule pouvant être obturée par un couvercle rabattable, se caractérise en ce que dans la position rabattue, l'extrémité de préhension pour le couvercle vient se placer derrière une
Languette déchirable formée sur la capsule. Ainsi, dans sa position de fermeture, le récipient ne peut être ouvert, l'extrémité de manoeuvre du couvercle étant hors de portée d'action, protégée et cachée par la languette déchirable formée sur La capsule. Lors de la première utilisation, le consommateur déchirera la languette, faisant alors apparaître l'extrémité d'actionnement du couvercle permettant L'ouverture et la fermeture du récipient.
The device according to the invention, of the general type presented above, comprising a capsule that can be closed by a hinged cover, is characterized in that in the folded position, the grip end for the cover is placed behind a
Tear-off tab formed on the capsule. Thus, in its closed position, the container cannot be opened, the operating end of the cover being out of action, protected and hidden by the tear-off tab formed on the capsule. During the first use, the consumer will tear the tab, then revealing the actuating end of the cover allowing the opening and closing of the container.

L'invention et sa mise en oeuvre apparaitront plus clairement à l'aide de la description qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins annexés donnant uniquement à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation. Dans ces dessins:
- la figure 1 montre en vue en coupe élévation la capsule d'un récipient pourvu d'un couvercle conforme à l'invention, Le dispositif étant représenté dans la position d'ouverture,
- la figure 2 est une vue semblable de celle de la figure 1 mais représentant Le dispositif en position de fermeture,
- la figure 3 montre vu de dessus selon la flèche
III de la figure 1, le dispositif de l'invention dans la position d'ouverture montrée à la figure 1,
- la figure 4 est une vue à plus grande échelle faite avec arrachement partiel du détail entouré IV à la figure 2.
The invention and its implementation will appear more clearly with the aid of the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings, which give an embodiment only by way of example. In these drawings:
FIG. 1 shows in sectional elevation view the capsule of a container provided with a lid according to the invention, the device being shown in the open position,
FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 but showing the device in the closed position,
- Figure 3 shows seen from above according to the arrow
III of FIG. 1, the device of the invention in the open position shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a view on a larger scale made with partial cutaway of the detail surrounded IV in FIG. 2.

En se reportant aux dessins, on aperçoit aux figures 1 et 2 la capsule 1 venant coiffer la partie supérieure d'un récipient avec son goulot (non représenté), par exemple une bouteille d'huile.  Referring to the drawings, we see in Figures 1 and 2 the capsule 1 from covering the upper part of a container with its neck (not shown), for example a bottle of oil.

Le dessus de La capsule est obturé par une paroi 2 dans laquelle est ménagé un orifice de versement 3. L'orifice 3 peut être obturé au moyen d'un pion 4 porté par un couvercle 5 articulé autour d'une charnière 6, comportant par exemple une partie 7 venant de matière avec la paroi 1 de la capsule et servant à maintenir en position d'ouverture comme illustré à la figure 1 le couvercle 5, lorsque le couvercle est ouvert tout en permettant la fermeture comme illustré à la figure-2, la fonction fermeture et verrouillage étant généralement obtenue par l'engagement élastique légèrement à force du pion 4 dans l'orifice 3. Tout ce qui a été décrit jusqu'à présent est classique dans cette technique.The top of the capsule is closed by a wall 2 in which a pouring orifice 3 is formed. The orifice 3 can be closed by means of a pin 4 carried by a cover 5 articulated around a hinge 6, comprising by example a part 7 coming from the material with the wall 1 of the capsule and serving to maintain in the open position as illustrated in FIG. 1 the cover 5, when the cover is open while allowing closing as illustrated in FIG. 2 , the closing and locking function being generally obtained by the elastic engagement slightly by force of the pin 4 in the orifice 3. All that has been described so far is conventional in this technique.

Conformément à L'invention L'extrémité 8 du couvercle 5 qui est opposée à la charnière 6, 7, est, dans la position rabattue de fermeture du couvercle illustrée à la figure 2, cachée et protégée derrière une languette 9, solidaire de la capsule 1, et réunie à elle par une partie 10 de moindre épaisseur déchirable (figure 4). According to the invention The end 8 of the cover 5 which is opposite the hinge 6, 7, is, in the folded closed position of the cover illustrated in FIG. 2, hidden and protected behind a tongue 9, integral with the capsule 1, and joined to it by a part 10 of less tearable thickness (FIG. 4).

Avantageusement, comme illustré aux dessins, la languette déchirable 9 est située sensiblement dans le plan de la paroi cylindrique de la capsule 1, ne formant pas de saillie ou de creux apparent sur La capsule et ayant évidemment sensiblement la Largeur de L'extrémité 8 du couvercLe qu'elle permet d'escamoter (voir notamment
La figure 3). D'autre part la languette 9 est placée devant un évidement 11 aux parties formées légèrement en creux dans la paroi de la capsule 1 et qui permettra, Lorsque la languette 9 sera déchirée de soulever facilement le couvercle 5 en poussant L'extrémité 8 devenue accessible au-dessus de l'évidement Il.
Advantageously, as illustrated in the drawings, the tear-off tab 9 is situated substantially in the plane of the cylindrical wall of the capsule 1, not forming an apparent projection or hollow on the capsule and obviously having substantially the width of the end 8 of the cover that it allows to retract (see in particular
Figure 3). On the other hand, the tongue 9 is placed in front of a recess 11 with the parts formed slightly hollow in the wall of the capsule 1 and which will allow, When the tongue 9 is torn, to easily lift the cover 5 by pushing the end 8 which has become accessible. above the recess Il.

On aperçoit égaLement aux dessins que le couvercle 5 a une forme générale sensiblement rectangulaire allongée. Ceci permet, dans la position rabattue du couvercle sur la capsule de le faire disparaitre complètement en l'escamotant dans un canal 12 de profondeur sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur du couvercle. De la sorte, dans sa position rabattue, le couvercle 5 ne fera pas saillie au-dessus de la capsule et restera inaccessible tant que la languette 9 n'aura pas été arrachée. It can also be seen in the drawings that the cover 5 has a generally substantially elongated rectangular shape. This allows, in the folded position of the cover on the capsule to make it disappear completely by retracting it into a channel 12 of depth substantially equal to the thickness of the cover. In this way, in its folded position, the cover 5 will not protrude above the capsule and will remain inaccessible until the tongue 9 has not been torn off.

Le choix d'une forme rétrécie du couvercle 5 a également l'avantage de permettre de mouler. sur une même surface de moule un plus grand nombre de disposi- tifs que si le couvercle, comme c'est souvent le cas pour ce genre de produit avait une surface sensiblement égale à la surface de la capsule du récipient. En d'autres termes, il est avantageux seLon l'invention de prévoir une largeur d du couvercle nettement inférieure au diamètre D de la capsule du récipient (figure 3). The choice of a narrowed shape of the cover 5 also has the advantage of making it possible to mold. on the same mold surface, a greater number of devices than if the cover, as is often the case for this type of product, had an area substantially equal to the surface of the capsule of the container. In other words, it is advantageous according to the invention to provide a width d of the lid that is clearly less than the diameter D of the capsule of the container (FIG. 3).

On notera avantageusement que l'extrémité 8 du couvercle 5 est retournée vers le bas dans la position rabattue du couvercle (figure 4) rendant quasiment impossible la préhension de cette extrémité tant que la languette 9 est en place. It will advantageously be noted that the end 8 of the cover 5 is turned downwards in the folded position of the cover (FIG. 4) making it almost impossible to grip this end as long as the tongue 9 is in place.

De même la forme du couvercle 5 peut être différente de celle ilLustrée, étant important seulement que le couvercle dans sa position rabattue soit bien escamoté dans le dessus de la capsule, et que son extrémité 8 de largeur étroite soit camouflée et protégée par la languette 9 déchirable.  Likewise, the shape of the cover 5 can be different from that shown, being only important that the cover in its folded position is well retracted into the top of the capsule, and that its narrow width end 8 is camouflaged and protected by the tongue 9 tearable.
