DISPOSITIF DE DISTRIBUTION D'UN LIQUIDE CONTENU DANS UN
FRUIT A COQUE, NOTAMMENT UNE NOIX DE COCO
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de distribution d'un liquide conservé dans une enveloppe naturelle, notamment d'un cocktail de liquides alcoolisés dans une noix de coco.DEVICE FOR DISPENSING A LIQUID CONTAINED IN A
NUTS, ESPECIALLY COCONUT
The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a liquid stored in a natural envelope, in particular a cocktail of alcoholic liquids in a coconut.
On sait que la noix de coco est un contenant naturel qui est apprécié des consommateurs car il est possible de l'utiliser pour la conservation de certaines boissons notamment des boissons alcoolisées. We know that coconut is a natural container that is appreciated by consumers because it is possible to use it for the preservation of certain drinks, especially alcoholic drinks.
En effet, le lait est préalablement retiré par percement d'un trou à l'une des extrémités de la coque. Indeed, the milk is previously removed by drilling a hole at one of the ends of the shell.
La pulpe est conservée et une boisson liquide, telle qu'un cocktail de boissons alcoolisées est introduit dans cette noix vide dont la paroi intérieure est tapissée avec la pulpe, très recherchée pour son goût. The pulp is preserved and a liquid drink, such as a cocktail of alcoholic drinks is introduced into this empty nut whose inner wall is lined with the pulp, highly sought after for its taste.
Ainsi, la boisson introduite macère dans la coque, au contact de la pulpe qui lui confère des qualités gustatives particulières. Thus, the drink introduced macerates in the shell, in contact with the pulp which gives it particular taste qualities.
On connaît la demande de brevet FR-A-2.548.147 qui décrit la fabrication d'un tel produit et d'une variante à partir d'un morceau de bambou. We know the patent application FR-A-2,548,147 which describes the manufacture of such a product and a variant from a piece of bamboo.
Le remplissage du contenant est relativement aisé mais l'utilisateur est confronté au problème du vidage du liquide contenu dans la coque. Filling the container is relatively easy, but the user is faced with the problem of emptying the liquid contained in the shell.
Il faut en effet que la coque soit munie d'un col qui est absent naturellement de ce type de coque. The shell must in fact be provided with a collar which is naturally absent from this type of shell.
Ce problème est délicat à résoudre pour l'industriel qui souhaite réaliser de tels produits, car il faut une excellente étanchéité, un montage rapide, une fiabilité à l'encontre de chocs éventuels, un prix de revient très faible, une adaptabilité suffisante en fonction des différentes épaisseurs de coques, et un montage inviolable. This problem is difficult to solve for the manufacturer who wishes to produce such products, because it requires excellent sealing, rapid assembly, reliability against possible shocks, a very low cost price, sufficient adaptability depending on different shell thicknesses, and tamper-proof mounting.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif de distribution de liquide contenu dans une enveloppe notamment dans un fruit à coque tel qu'une noix de coco, cette enveloppe étant percée d'un trou, se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend un connecteur tubulaire avec une première extrémité prévue pour pénétrer dans le trou, équipée de moyens de blocage à l'intérieur de la coque et une seconde extrémité en saillie à l'extérieur de la coque ainsi que des moyens d'étanchéité disposés au droit du trou. To this end, according to the invention, the device for distributing liquid contained in an envelope, in particular in a nut such as a coconut, this envelope being pierced with a hole, is characterized in that it comprises a tubular connector with a first end intended to enter the hole, equipped with locking means inside the hull and a second end projecting outside the hull as well as sealing means arranged in line with the hole.
Ces moyens de blocage comprennent une butée annulaire de forme tronconique, orientée avec la pointe vers l'intérieur de l'enveloppe. These blocking means comprise an annular abutment of frustoconical shape, oriented with the tip towards the inside of the envelope.
De plus, les moyens d'étanchéité comprennent une butée annulaire solidaire de la première extrémité, un joint annulaire, monté coaxialement sur cette première extrémité et d'une longueur supérieure à la distance séparant la butée tronconique de la butée annulaire de façon qu'après montage, le joint soit comprimé entre la coque et la butée annulaire. In addition, the sealing means comprise an annular stop integral with the first end, an annular seal, mounted coaxially on this first end and of a length greater than the distance separating the frustoconical stop from the annular stop so that after mounting, the seal is compressed between the shell and the annular stop.
Suivant un perfectionnement, il est prévu un tube prolongateur dont une extrémité est emboîtée sur la seconde extrémité du connecteur et dont l'autre extrémité est libre. According to an improvement, an extension tube is provided, one end of which is fitted onto the second end of the connector and the other end of which is free.
Le dispositif comprend éventuellement un tube de protection monté coaxialement au connecteur et au tube prolongateur. The device optionally includes a protective tube mounted coaxially to the connector and to the extension tube.
Dans ce cas, le tube de protection est d'une longueur supérieure à celle du tube prolongateur. In this case, the protective tube is of a length greater than that of the extension tube.
De façon préférentielle, le tube de protection est en matière naturelle, notamment en bambou. Preferably, the protective tube is made of natural material, in particular bamboo.
En outre, le connecteur et le tube prolongateur sont en matériau de qualité alimentaire. In addition, the connector and the extension tube are made of food-grade material.
Le dispositif est décrit ci-après en regard des dessins annexés qui représentent
- figure 1, une vue en perspective éclatée d'un
dispositif selon l'invention et,
- figure 2, une coupe longitudinale du dispositif
monté sur la coque d'une noix de coco. The device is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings which represent
- Figure 1, an exploded perspective view of a
device according to the invention and,
- Figure 2, a longitudinal section of the device
mounted on the shell of a coconut.
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté un connecteur tubulaire 10, un tube prolongateur 12 et un tube de protection 14. In FIG. 1, a tubular connector 10, an extension tube 12 and a protection tube 14 are shown.
Le connecteur 10 comprend un corps 16 dont la première extrémité 18 comprend des moyens de blocage 20 et la seconde extrémité 22 comprend un ergot de retenue 24 complété par des anneaux 25. The connector 10 comprises a body 16, the first end 18 of which comprises locking means 20 and the second end 22 comprises a retaining lug 24 completed by rings 25.
Les moyens de blocage comprennent une butée annulaire tronconique 26, prévue pour pénétrer dans un trou calibré ainsi que cela sera décrit ultérieurement. The locking means comprise a frustoconical annular stop 26, intended to penetrate a calibrated hole as will be described later.
Le corps 16 comprend également des moyens d'étanchéité 28 avec une butée annulaire médiane 30 et un joint annulaire 32 en élastomère, monté coaxialement sur ce corps, dont la longueur, à l'étant détendu, est supérieure ou égale à la distance qui sépare la butée annulaire tronconique 26 de la butée annulaire médiane 30. The body 16 also comprises sealing means 28 with a central annular stop 30 and an elastomeric annular seal 32, mounted coaxially on this body, the length of which, when relaxed, is greater than or equal to the distance which separates the frustoconical annular stop 26 of the middle annular stop 30.
Le tube prolongateur est souple afin de permettre un montage sur la seconde extrémité 22 du connecteur. The extension tube is flexible to allow mounting on the second end 22 of the connector.
Le tube de protection 14 est rigide afin d'éviter toute déformation et son diamètre est tel qu'il correspond au diamètre extérieur du tube prolongateur, au jeu près. The protective tube 14 is rigid in order to avoid any deformation and its diameter is such that it corresponds to the outside diameter of the extension tube, apart from play.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, ce tube est en bambou. In the embodiment shown, this tube is made of bamboo.
La longueur de ce tube de protection 14 est sensiblement égale à la longueur du connecteur avec son tube prolongateur monté. The length of this protective tube 14 is substantially equal to the length of the connector with its extension tube mounted.
La mise en place de ce dispositif s'effectue de la façon décrite ci-après. The installation of this device is carried out as described below.
La noix de coco 34 est percée d'un trou 36 à l'aide d'un outil adapté avec un diamètre inférieur au diamètre de la base de la butée annulaire tronconique 26 du connecteur. The coconut 34 is pierced with a hole 36 using a suitable tool with a diameter less than the diameter of the base of the frustoconical annular stop 26 of the connector.
Le connecteur est introduit à force dans le trou après que le joint annulaire 32 est monté sur le corps. The connector is forced into the hole after the annular seal 32 is mounted on the body.
La butée annulaire tronconique 26 se bloque derrière la paroi de la coque, interdisant ainsi le retrait de ce connecteur. The frustoconical annular stop 26 locks behind the wall of the shell, thus preventing the removal of this connector.
Le joint annulaire 32 se trouve comprimé par la butée annulaire médiane et prend une forme de tonneau. The annular seal 32 is compressed by the middle annular stop and takes the form of a barrel.
Ce joint assure ainsi l'étanchéité et simultanément la base du cône annulaire du connecteur est plaquée contre la paroi intérieure de la noix de coco. This seal thus seals and simultaneously the base of the annular cone of the connector is pressed against the inner wall of the coconut.
Le tube prolongateur est monté sur le connecteur par emboîtement et il est retenu à sa place par les anneaux 25 et l'ergot de retenue 24. The extension tube is mounted on the connector by interlocking and is retained in its place by the rings 25 and the retaining lug 24.
L'étanchéité peut être renforcée en disposant un cordon 27 de polymère à base de silicone autour de l'interface de la base du joint avec la coque. The seal can be reinforced by placing a bead 27 of silicone-based polymer around the interface of the base of the seal with the shell.
Enfin le tube protecteur est monté sur l'ensemble connecteur et le joint annulaire déformé en tonneau assure le blocage de ce tube protecteur. Finally, the protective tube is mounted on the connector assembly and the barrel-deformed annular seal blocks this protective tube.
Ce tube protecteur évite également l'enfoncement du connecteur à travers la coque en cas chute sur ce connecteur. This protective tube also prevents the connector from being pushed through the shell in the event of a fall on this connector.
On peut ainsi réaliser un connecteur simple, étanche, fiable et inviolable dont le prix de revient est acceptable compte tenu du prix du produit de base, à savoir, la noix de coco. We can thus achieve a simple connector, waterproof, reliable and tamper-proof whose cost is acceptable given the price of the basic product, namely, coconut.
Une variante de réalisation prévoit de remplacer le cône annulaire des moyens de fixation par une tête en forme de vis. An alternative embodiment plans to replace the annular cone of the fixing means with a screw-shaped head.
