Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stopper device for a bottle comprising a neck provided with an external protrusion at its free end part and intended for a liquid dispenser of the “water fountain” type.
  • the dispensing of water by fountains is a system which is very widespread in countries such as the United States of America and some Asiatic countries.
  • the water to be dispensed is delivered in bottles with a content of five gallons (19/20 litres) which are placed upside down on the dispenser, the latter making it possible to dispense the water in smaller volumes, for example in glasses.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the stopper devices commonly referred to as “non-spill”, that is to say which make it possible, by virtue of an internal valve system which frees a passage for the water out of the bottle only when the latter is in place on the dispenser, to place the bottle on the dispenser or to remove it from the dispenser, even before it is empty, without risk of spillage of the content of the bottle.
  • stopper devices are known, in particular through the document FR-A-2 769 004 issuing from the applicant.
  • a device of this type generally comprises a cap made from plastics material comprising a transverse end wall from which there project, in the same direction, firstly a substantially cylindrical external skirt provided with an internal protrusion for attachment behind the protrusion on the neck of the bottle and secondly a substantially cylindrical internal shaft intended to receive a take-off cannula provided on the dispenser so as to come to fit in the shaft from the transverse end wall of the cap, when the bottle is put in place on the dispenser.
  • the device can comprise a tamper-evident cover moulded in one piece with the cap and situated at the start of the shaft, on the transverse wall side, so as to close off the shaft, the said cover being intended to be irremediably and visibly destroyed when the take-off cannula is fitted in the shaft.
  • a seal is generally placed against the internal face of the transverse wall of the cap, between the external skirt and the shaft.
  • the seal is intended to be compressed axially between the edge of the neck of the bottle and the transverse wall of the cap, when the stopper device is mounted on the said neck.
  • Usually it is a foam seal, flat and discoid, at the centre of which is a hole enabling the shaft to pass.
  • Some devices of the prior art provide a projection on the internal face of the transverse wall of the cap, the said projection being intended to enter the seal when the stopper device is mounted on the neck and the seal is compressed.
  • a projection of this type is in particular intended to prevent the relative movement of the seal with respect to the transverse wall of the cap.
  • the projection does not always afford good holding of the seal against the transverse wall of the cap, the seal being able in particular to become detached from the said wall by moving axially towards the inside of the cap;
  • the aim of the invention is to resolve these problems.
  • the invention relates to a stopper device for a bottle comprising a neck provided with an external protrusion at its free end part and intended for a liquid dispenser of the water fountain type, the said device comprising a cap made from plastics material comprising a transverse end wall from which a substantially cylindrical external skirt projects, provided with an internal rim for attachment behind the rim on the neck of the bottle, in which the transverse wall has, on its internal face, an annular groove with its axis substantially merged with the axis of the said cap, delimited by two ribs projecting substantially perpendicular to the said transverse wall, the said groove being situated, when the device is mounted on the neck of the bottle, opposite the rim of the said neck, and being intended to receive a cast or moulded seal and to prevent the movement thereof parallel to the transverse wall.
  • the stopper device also comprises a substantially cylindrical internal shaft, projecting from the transverse end wall in the same direction as the external skirt so that the groove is situated between the skirt and the shaft, the said shaft being intended to receive a take-off cannula provided on the dispenser so as to come to fit in the shaft from the transverse end wall of the cap, when the bottle is placed on the dispenser, and a tamper-evident cover moulded in a single piece with the cap and situated at the beginning of the shaft, on the transverse wall side, so as to close off the shaft, the said cover being intended to be irremediably and visibly destroyed when the take-off cannula is fitted in the shaft.
  • the axial height of the ribs is less than the thickness of the joint when it is not compressed.
  • the ends of the two ribs are offset axially with respect to each other.
  • a first rib is situated axially, with respect to the axis of the cap, substantially two thirds of the way across the diameter of the said cap, a second rib being substantially at the same distance from the axis of the cap as the internal end of the internal protrusion on the skirt.
  • the groove comprises, on its internal face, at least one means of attaching the seal, thus preventing the movement of the said seal out of the groove.
  • the seal fitted by casting and moulding, is held against the transverse wall both by a physico-chemical adhesion force and by the mechanical attachment means.
  • the groove ensures holding of the seal in all directions parallel to the transverse wall of the cap.
  • the groove comprises, on its internal face, at least one projection forming an attachment means for the said seal.
  • At least one rib comprises a projection extending substantially radially towards the inside of the groove.
  • the axial height of the projection decreases from the rib as far as the end of the said projection, so as to form a spike able to penetrate the seal.
  • the projection is situated towards the free end part of the rib.
  • each of the two ribs comprises a projection extending substantially radially towards the inside of the groove.
  • the bottom of the groove comprises at least one projection extending substantially axially towards the inside of the cap.
  • the projection comprises at least one face inclined by an acute angle with respect to the axis of the cap so that, when the seal is placed in the groove, at least one area of the said seal is included in attachment areas situated, axially, between the bottom of the groove and part of the said projection.
  • the projection has, in axial section, the form of at least one trapezium whose large face is situated towards the free end of the said projection.
  • the said trapezium has an axis of symmetry substantially parallel to the axis of the cap.
  • the axial height of the projection is less than the axial height of the ribs.
  • the projection is annular, the axis of the said projection being substantially merged with the axis of the cap.
  • the internal face of the groove comprises localised reliefs such as serrations, roughnesses or equivalent, forming attachment means for the seal.
  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising a stopper device as previously described and a seal placed in the groove in the transverse wall of the said cap, the seal having been put in place by casting or moulding.
  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising a stopper device as previously described, a seal placed in the groove in the transverse wall of the said cap, the seal having been put in place by casting or moulding, and a bottle, the said bottle being empty or at least partially filled with a certain content.
  • the groove is situated opposite the rim of the said neck, the seal being compressed, in the groove, between the transverse wall of the cap and the rim of the neck of the bottle.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing a cap/seal assembly.
  • the seal is cast in the groove in the cap, the said cap having previously been injection moulded.
  • the cap and seal are produced by bi-injection moulding.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a stopper device according to the invention, comprising a cap and mounted on the neck of a bottle;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the device of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial axial section view of the device of FIG. 1, showing a seal cast in a groove present inside the cap;
  • FIG. 4 is a detail view A of FIG. 3, according to a first embodiment
  • FIG. 5 is a detail view A of FIG. 3, according to a second embodiment
  • FIG. 6 is a view in section of the device mounted on the neck of the bottle, along the line B-B in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 7 is a view in section similar to FIG. 6, showing the stopper device after fitting of the bottle on a dispenser;
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate schematically a variant of the method for producing a cap provided with a seal, the said cap being depicted in partial axial section.
  • the stopper device as illustrated by the accompanying figures is intended for corking the neck 1 of bottles for a water dispenser of the fountain type, bottles which generally have a content of five gallons (19/20 litres) and which are formed for example from polycarbonate.
  • the neck 1 has, at its free end, an external attachment protrusion 2 .
  • the stopper device comprises a cap 3 of axis 4 , comprising a transverse end wall 5 from which there project in the same direction firstly an essentially cylindrical external skirt 6 and secondly an internal shaft 7 also essentially cylindrical in shape, the axial height of the shaft 7 here being less than the axial height of the skirt 6 .
  • the skirt 6 comprises an internal protrusion 8 , for example divided up into several sectors, intended to cooperate with the external protrusion 2 on the neck 1 with a view to holding the cap 3 on the neck 1 , by mutual snapping-on.
  • the shaft 7 comprises, on its internal face, two annular reliefs 9 , 10 whose function will be detailed below.
  • a stopper 11 in the shape of a cup is fitted in the free end part 12 , that is to say opposite to the transverse wall 5 , of the shaft 7 .
  • the stopper 11 comprises essentially a bottom 13 , situated towards the free end 16 of the shaft 7 , a substantially cylindrical wall 14 , projecting with respect to the bottom 13 , and an external annular rim 15 provided towards the bottom 12 in order to bear against the free end 16 of the shaft 7 when the stopper 11 fits in the shaft 7 (see FIGS. 3 and 6).
  • the stopper 11 also comprises:
  • a first annular projection 17 intended to cooperate with the first annular relief 9 on the shaft 7 when the bottle is not fitted on the dispenser;
  • a second annular projection 18 or a shoulder 18 ′ intended to cooperate with the second annular relief 10 on the shaft 7 when the bottle is not fitted on the dispenser;
  • the shaft 7 is closed off by a cover 20 which is moulded in a single piece with the cap 3 , in the form of a rupture diaphragm consisting of eight petals 21 in the form of sectors of a circle, connected together by tearing lines 22 in the form of radii.
  • the cover 20 preferably has a slightly conical shape, the tip of the cone being turned towards the stopper 11 .
  • the diameter and axial height of the shaft 7 are chosen so that, when the stopper 11 is fully home in the shaft 7 , its internal rim 15 being in contact with the free end 16 of the shaft 7 , the internal rim 19 at the free end of the cylindrical wall 14 of the stopper 11 is separated from the cover 20 by a distance corresponding at least to the radius of the shaft 7 , and therefore substantially to the length of the petals 21 .
  • the skirt 6 has internally a tear line 23 (a weakened line) which extends from the free end of the skirt 6 , across the internal protrusion 8 interrupted at this point, as far as between the protrusion 8 on the skirt 6 and the transverse wall 5 , substantially as far as a point in line with the top of the external protrusion 2 on the neck 1 of the bottle.
  • a gripping lug 24 provided on the skirt 6 makes it possible to tear off the latter, that is to say to tear the cap 3 along the tear line 23 , which means that the remaining cap no longer holds on the neck 1 of the bottle.
  • FIG. 7 depicts the bottle filled with water, closed off by the cap 3 , after it is fitted in the inverted position on a dispenser, only the drawing-off cannula 25 of which has been shown since this is the only part of the dispenser which cooperates with the stopper device which is the object of the present invention.
  • the drawing-off cannula 25 has a substantially cylindrical body comprising at least one drawing off hole 26 intended for the passage of the liquid from the inside of the bottle to the outside of the dispenser.
  • the head 27 (the top end) of the drawing-off cannula 25 causes first of all the rupture of the cover 20 at the tearing lines 22 , that is to say a subdivision of the cover 20 into eight petals 21 which, remaining attached by their base to the shaft 7 , are folded upwards by the head 27 of the cannula 25 .
  • the head 27 of the cannula 25 then penetrates the stopper 11 , the internal rim 19 of which comes to snap into a groove 28 provided between the head 27 and the body of the cannula 25 .
  • the water contained in the bottle can thus flow through the drawing-off holes 26 in the cannula 25 , and supply the dispenser.
  • the stopper device according to the invention can be provided with a third tamper-evident means consisting of a circumferential tamper-evident ring or strip connected to the free end of the skirt by breakable means, for example a weakened line or discrete bridges, the ring being engaged behind a second external protrusion provided on the neck 1 of the bottle, at a distance below the top protrusion 2 .
  • the tamper-evident ring or guarantee can be of any type or consist of a heat-shrinking ring whose shrinking is produced when the cap 3 is put in place, following the filling. This guarantee ring supplements the two tamper-evident or guarantee means consisting of the cap 20 and the tear-off skirt 6 .
  • the stopper device according to the invention can be used without a stopper 11 .
  • the cover 20 as long as it is not destroyed by the drawing-off cannula 25 , not only constitutes a means of guarantee or tamper-evidence, but also provides sealed closure of the cap 3 .
  • the cap 3 does not prevent the flow of water out of the bottle, which would be removed from the dispenser before being completely empty.
  • the internal face 29 of the transverse wall 5 has an annular groove 30 with its axis substantially merged with the axis 4 of the cap 3 .
  • the groove 30 is delimited by a first rib 31 , situated axially, with respect to the axis 4 of the cap 3 , substantially two-thirds of the way across the diameter of the said cap 3 , or substantially half-way between the shaft 7 and the external skirt 6 , and by a second rib 32 , situated towards the periphery of the transverse wall 5 , substantially at the same distance from the axis 4 of the cap 3 as the internal end of the internal protrusion 8 on the skirt 6 , the said ribs 31 , 32 projecting substantially perpendicularly to the transverse wall 5 .
  • the groove 28 is situated, when the cap 3 is mounted on the neck 1 of the bottle, opposite the rim 33 of the neck 1 .
  • the groove 30 is intended to receive an O-ring seal 34 , put in place by casting or moulding, as depicted in FIG. 3.
  • O-ring seal 34 put in place by casting or moulding, as depicted in FIG. 3.
  • the axial height of the ribs 31 , 32 is less than the thickness of the seal 34 when it is not compressed, but is sufficient to hold the seal 34 inside the groove 30 . It will be understood that the axial height of the ribs 31 , 32 is adjusted so as to enable the seal 34 to provide a very good seal between the cap 3 and the neck 1 when the cap 3 is mounted on the neck 1 of the bottle.
  • the ends of the two ribs 31 , 32 are offset axially with respect to each other.
  • the groove 30 prevents movements of the seal 34 parallel to the transverse wall 5 , the seal 34 being held between the ribs 31 , 32 .
  • the groove 30 is provided with projections intended to penetrate the material of the seal 34 , when the latter is cast or moulded, so as to form a means of attachment of the said seal 34 .
  • the projections are manufactured, by moulding, at the same time as the cap 3 .
  • each of the two ribs 31 , 32 comprises an annular projection 35 with its axis substantially merged with the axis 4 of the cap 3 , extending radially towards the inside of the groove 30 .
  • the invention also provides an embodiment in which the projections 35 form an acute angle with the ribs 31 , 32 .
  • the projections 35 are each situated towards the free end part of a rib 31 , 32 .
  • each of the projections 35 decreases from the rib 31 , 32 as far as the end of the projection 35 , so as to form a spike able to penetrate the seal 34 .
  • the bottom 36 of the groove 30 substantially merged with the transverse wall 5 of the cap 3 , comprises a projection 37 directed towards the inside of the groove 30 , substantially axially.
  • the projection 37 has, in axial section, the form of a trapezium, or rather of two trapezia symmetrical with respect to the axis 4 of the cap 3 .
  • the small base 38 of the trapezium is substantially merged with the bottom 36 of the groove 30 , the large base 39 of the trapezium constituting the free end of the projection 37 .
  • the trapezium has an axis of symmetry 40 substantially parallel to the axis 4 of the cap 3 .
  • the faces of the trapezium distinct from the bases 38 , 39 are inclined with respect to the bottom 36 of the groove 30 by an acute angle, for example of between 40° and 80°, in particular close to 60°.
  • the axial height of the projection 37 is less than that of the ribs 31 , 32 .
  • the projection 37 has, in axial section, the shape of a trapezium whose large base is substantially merged with the bottom 36 of the groove 30 , the small base of the trapezium constituting the free end of the projection 37 .
  • the small base can be very short, so that the trapezium is similar to a triangle.
  • At least one face of the trapezium, distinct from the bases, is inclined with respect to the bottom 36 of the groove 30 by an acute angle, for example between 40° and 80°, in particular around 60°.
  • the internal face of the groove 30 is provided with localised reliefs forming means of mechanical attachment of the seal 34 .
  • the internal face of the groove 30 comprises serrations, scales, roughnesses formed by electroerosion, or equivalent.
  • the invention also makes provision for creating inside the groove 30 a rough or granite surface state.
  • the seal 34 is put in place by depositing a certain volume of material at the bottom of the groove 30 , the cap 3 previously having been injection moulded. This deposition can be effected using an extruder or a “hot melt” gun. The material constituting the seal 34 , hot and liquid, or at least viscous, spreads over the bottom 36 of the groove 30 and coats and covers the projections 35 , 37 .
  • the seal 34 is generally allowed to adopt its natural geometric shape, which results in a curved surface, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the configuration of the projections 35 , 37 is such that there exists a zone 41 —referred to as the attachment zone—lying axially between the bottom 36 of the groove 30 and the said projection 35 , 37 .

  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate a second variant embodiment of the assembly consisting of cap 3 and seal 34 , by bi-injection moulding. It should be noted that the figures are simplified, the ribs 31 , 32 and the projections 35 , 37 not appearing.
  • the seal 34 is first of all injected, between a first mould part 42 and a core 43 which define the shape of the said seal 34 (FIG. 8). The join between the first mould part 42 and the core 43 is sealed.
  • the cap 3 is injected between a second mould part 44 and the core 43 , so as to overmould the seal 34 (FIG. 9).
  • the projections 35 , 37 are thus moulded inside the seal 34 , which provides a good attachment of the said seal 34 .
  • the cap 3 is for example produced from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • the first and second parts 42 , 44 of the mould have the same internal profile so that, at the end of the cooling of the seal 34 previously cast, it suffices, without opening the mould, to move the said first or second part 42 , 44 with respect to the core 43 , so as to define a housing in which the cap 3 will be cast.
  • the invention provides for a simplified stopper device (not shown), provided with the groove 30 and a cast or moulded seal 34 , in which the cap 3 comprises neither shaft 7 nor stopper 11 nor cover 20 , but only a skirt 6 provided with a tearing line 23 , one end of which is situated between the protrusion 8 and the transverse wall 5 , so as to enable the user to remove the cap from the neck of the bottle by acting on the lug 24 .
