Definitions
- the present invention concerns pressurised receptacles able to contain a fluid, and more particularly the means of closing such pressurised receptacles.
- Known pressurised receptacles are of the aerosol type.
- An aerosol is a set of solid or liquid particles of a chemical substance given in suspension in a gaseous medium.
- the term “aerosol” also designates the receptacle containing a mixture of a product and a propellant gas.
- the propellant gas creates a pressure inside the receptacle.
- By opening an outlet valve the mixture is expelled outside the pressurised receptacle.
- the product is atomised in the form of an aerosol, that is to say in fine particles in suspension in air.
- the propellant gas is normally nitrogen since it is an inert gas and therefore less dangerous than propane, butane and other flammable hydrocarbons, which do not however have an effect on the ozone layer.
- a known aerosol receptacle comprises a bottom, a lateral wall and a neck, and is usually produced from aluminium.
- the thickness of the receptacle is designed to withstand up to 18 bar pressure inside.
- aerosol receptacles having various capacities.
- Aerosols that is to say the pressurised receptacles provided with a non-removable dispensing valve, are governed by very strict and draconian safety standards.
- the dispensing valves are not removable and they do not make it possible to effectively measure out the flow of product emerging from the pressurised receptacle.
- the internal pressure allowed by the standards is limited to 12 bar at 50° C.
- the filling of known aerosols is limited by strict standards to 66% of the volume, which is itself a maximum of one litre.
- a first problem proposed by the present invention is to design a closure means for a pressurised receptacle able to contain a fluid that is removable and makes it possible to measure out the emerging product, and the safety in use of which is ensured up to pressures of more than 20 bar.
- a second problem that is at the basis of the present invention is to design a pressurised receptacle that allows an intermittent thrust and can contain and dispense even a granular fluid.
- the idea that is at the basis of the invention is to design a reliable removable measuring cap and to use it in association with a receptacle containing a fluid at a pressure appreciably greater than the pressures normally allowed for aerosols, for example around 30 bar.
- a measuring cap for a pressurised receptacle able to contain a fluid comprising a bottom and a substantially cylindrical lateral wall that narrows towards a neck having a front neck face and an internal neck edge, comprising:
- Such a measuring cap is removable.
- the receptacle that it closes can easily be reused, which reduces the quantity of waste produced.
- Such a measuring cap is therefore ecological.
- Such a measuring cap does not comprise a valve.
- the pressurised receptacle provided with such a removable measuring cap is not constrained by the strict aerosol standards, nor by other rules if the volume of the receptacle is less than one litre and the pressure produced per volume is less than 50 bar/litre.
- This measuring cap is simple in design; it comprises only three main elements that can be preassembled, and a fourth element to be assembled in order to connect the measuring cap to the pressurised receptacle. It is therefore also simple to use.
- Such a measuring cap is compatible with conventional receptacle bodies for aerosols so that it is possible to profit from the low cost of these mass-produced receptacles.
- the cap according to the invention is a measuring cap and the user can therefore choose the rate of flow of product out of the pressurised receptacle.
- the radial peripheral protrusion comprises a frustoconical portion, the cone angle of which corresponds substantially to the inclination of the internal neck edge of the receptacle.
- the penetrating part can comprise at least one recessed lateral face defining a width less than the diameter of the neck of the receptacle.
- the measuring cap can advantageously be made for the measuring cap to be produced from metal or plastics material.
- plastics material reduces the manufacturing costs of the measuring cap since plastics material is less expensive than metal. However, metal will have better mechanical strength.
- the metal in the case of a metal measuring cap, provision can advantageously be made for the metal to be stainless steel or an aluminium alloy.
- the assembly ring can be fixed to the body by screwing, pressing or cottering.
- the penetrating part of the body can comprise two lateral flats on either side of the longitudinal axis of the body. One of these two flats producing the lateral face.
- the assembly ring can advantageously be made for the assembly ring to comprise a peripheral skirt surrounding the neck of the receptacle, leaving a leakage space between its end edge and the peripheral wall of the receptacle.
- the assembly ring By surrounding the neck of the receptacle, the assembly ring also fulfils the function of reinforcement of the neck, opposing the action of the internal pressure of the receptacle, which tends to enlarge the neck.
- the closure member prefferably be a rod slidably mounted in the axial fluid passage between a closure position and an open position, and comprises two annular grooves able to receive annular closure joints.
- the travel of the closure element is limited between two predefined positions. This prevents any risk of the closure element leaving the axial fluid passage unexpectedly.
- the closure member can advantageously be made for the closure member to be a locking screw that is actuated by screwing or unscrewing in the body.
- the penetration of the locking screw in the body is chosen precisely by a user by screwing this locking screw to a greater or lesser extent. And the structure is well suited to applications in which the fluid contains powders or solid suspensions.
- closure member also to comprise a closure element positioned in the axial fluid passage close to the neck of the receptacle and held distant from the latter by a spring or by the internal pressure of the receptacle.
- the closure element fulfils a dual function, namely the valve function during filling and the safety element function.
- the invention provides a receptacle able to contain a pressurised fluid, closed by a measuring cap according to first aspect of the invention, and having an initial internal pressure greater than 20 bar.
- Such a receptacle does not need to comply with aerosol standards since it does not comprise a fixed valve and the cap is removable.

- the measuring cap 1 comprises a body 8 with a longitudinal axis I-I, a sealing joint 15 , an assembly ring 16 , a closure member 17 and an operating member 18 .
- the body 8 comprises a penetrating part 9 and an emerging part 11 , which join at a sealing shoulder 14 oriented towards the emerging part 11 .
- the penetrating part 9 comprises a substantially cylindrical distal part and a radial peripheral proximal protrusion 10 .
- the radial peripheral protrusion 10 comprises a frustoconical portion 10 a ( FIG. 2 ) with a cone angle ⁇ .
- the cone angle ⁇ is designed to correspond to the angle of inclination ⁇ so as to distribute the mechanical forces of the measuring cap 1 on the receptacle 2 .
- the penetrating part 9 comprises two lateral flats 19 a and 19 b ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ) on either side of the longitudinal axis I-I of the body 8 .
- These two lateral flats 19 a and 19 b ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ), parallel to the longitudinal axis I-I, are designed to enable the penetrating part 9 of the body 8 to be introduced into the receptacle 2 through the neck 5 .
- the width 190 of the penetrating part 9 is designed to be less than the diameter D of the neck 5 of the receptacle 2 .
- the penetrating part 9 of the body 8 can comprise non-parallel, non-symmetrical lateral faces, or a single lateral face. The main thing is to enable the penetrating part 9 to enter the neck 5 and to afford a sufficient surface for the sealing joint 15 .
- the emerging part 11 comprises a through axial fluid passage 12 , a fluid outlet passage 13 and a threaded portion 11 a on its external surface close to the sealing shoulder 14 .
- the fluid outlet passage 13 and the axial fluid passage 12 communicate with each other in order, once the measuring cap 1 is connected to the receptacle 2 , to enable the product contained in the receptacle 2 to flow.
- the axial fluid passage 12 comprises an intermediate shoulder 30 disposed in an intermediate position between the fluid outlet passage 13 and the upstream orifice 12 a of the axial fluid passage 12 and having its face oriented in the upstream direction.
- the sealing joint 15 is annular and is conformed so as to bear on the sealing shoulder 14 and on the front neck face 6 .
- the assembly ring 16 comprises a substantially cylindrical portion 25 having a threaded through opening 24 and a peripheral skirt 20 .
- the thread of the threaded through opening 24 of the assembly ring 16 is designed to correspond to the thread of the threaded portion 11 a of the emerging part 11 .
- the closure member 17 is able to selectively close and open the fluid outlet passage 13 . It is controlled by an operating member 18 accessible on the emerging part 11 of the body 8 .
- the closure member 17 is a rod comprising two annular grooves 22 a and 22 b with a frustoconical profile and offset longitudinally from each other at a separation greater than the axial separation between the fluid outlet passage 13 and the intermediate shoulder 30 ( FIG. 4 ).
- Each annular groove 22 a and 22 b is provided with a closure joint, respectively 23 a and 23 b .
- Each closure joint 23 a and 23 b can advantageously be made from elastomer and be cylindrical and tubular in shape with a circular cross section of constant thickness.
- the upstream annular groove 22 a has a depth that decreases in the direction of the upstream orifice 12 a.
- the closure member 17 comprises an intermediate portion 170 situated between the two annular grooves 22 a and 22 b and is cylindrical in the embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 7 .
- This intermediate portion 170 could however be frustoconical, or more widely any shape to be determined according to the granulometry of the fluid to be dispensed.
- FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrate the sliding of the closure member 17 in the axial fluid passage 12 .
- FIG. 5 illustrates the measuring cap 1 in a closure position P 1 in which the product contained in the receptacle 2 cannot be expelled to the outside of the receptacle 2 : the upstream closure gasket 23 a is engaged in a cylindrical portion with a small diameter of the axial fluid passage 12 , between the fluid outlet passage 13 and the intermediate shoulder 30 , and then provides sealed closure of the axial fluid passage 12 .
- FIG. 6 illustrates the closure member 17 to a larger scale in an intermediate position P.
- the upstream closure joint 23 a is in line with the intermediate shoulder 30 and produces a partial opening allowing the pressurised fluid to pass at a rate that the user can control by axial movement of the closure member 17 .
- the frustoconical form of the annular groove 22 a gradually forces the upstream closure joint 23 a , which allows gradual opening.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the measuring cap 1 in an open position P 2 , in which the product contained in the receptacle 2 is expelled to the outside of the receptacle 2 .
- the sealing is provided in the closure position P 1 by the upstream closure joint 23 a , which is pressed in a cone against the wall of the axial fluid passage 12 .
- FIG. 7 illustrates the elements in the open position P 2 in which the fluid is expelled.
- the closure member 17 is lowered sufficiently to break the seal at the upstream closure gasket 23 a.
- the fluid is therefore expelled in a controlled fashion towards the outside, passing through the axial fluid passage 12 and then the outlet passage 13 .
- the second closure gasket 23 b provides the seal for preventing a quantity of fluid being able to be extracted towards the operating member 18 .
- the operating member 18 is a hood provided with a threaded bore 18 a for fixing thereof by screwing on the threaded distal end 17 a of the closure member 17 .
- the operating member 18 can be fixed by clipping, crimping, pooping or adhesive bonding.
- an elastic means 17 b of the helical compression spring type is engaged between the operating member 18 and the body 8 in order to assist closure if the pressure is too low inside the receptacle 2 , or if the fluid is sticky.
- the elastic means 17 b is however not essential and it can be considered that the pressure inside the receptacle 2 is sufficient to enable the closure member to slide as far as the closure position P 1 with suitable fluids to be dispensed.
- the fluid contained in the receptacle must be previously filtered.
- FIG. 2 explains the order of assembly of these elements in order to produce the measuring cap 1 .
- the sealing joint 15 is arranged on the inside of the assembly ring 16 so that, once the whole is assembled, the sealing joint 15 makes the seal at the neck 5 of the receptacle 2 .
- the closure member 17 without the operating member 18 is slidably mounted in the axial fluid passage 12 , engaging it through the upstream orifice 12 a .

- the assembly ring 16 provided with the gasket 15 is engaged on the body 8 .
- the operating member 18 is screwed on the distal end 17 a of the closure member 17 , locking the closure member with respect to rotation by engagement of a screwdriver in a slot 17 c provided at the proximal end of the closure member 17 .
- a screwdriver in a slot 17 c provided at the proximal end of the closure member 17 .
- any other locking means can be provided, and the slot 17 c can have any other profile.
- the penetrating part 9 can be introduced obliquely in the neck 5 of the receptacle 2 . This introduction is made possible in particular through the presence of the two lateral flats 19 a and 19 b . Then the measuring cap 1 is positioned so that the radial peripheral protrusion 10 engages in abutment against the internal edge of the neck 7 .
- the assembly ring 16 is screwed on the threaded part of the emerging part 11 of the body 8 .
- the assembly ring 16 axially clamps the first gasket 15 against the front neck face 6 and against the sealing shoulder 14 .
- the connection of the measuring cap 1 with the receptacle 2 is effected.
- the peripheral skirt 20 surrounds the neck 5 of the receptacle 2 , leaving a leakage space E between its extreme edge 21 and the peripheral wall 4 of the receptacle 2 .
- the invention also ensures the safety of the users, through a safety leak when a predetermined maximum pressure is reached inside the receptacle 2 .
- the lateral flats 19 a and 19 b are positioned recessed so that they allow a slight local deformation of the neck 5 , producing an area of less strength.
- the neck 5 is deformed outwards and the gasket 15 is less crushed, which gives rise to a safety leakage.
- This first embodiment is particular suitable for fluids with a granulometry of less than 500 ⁇ m.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the receptacle 2 ( FIG. 1 ) is closed by the measuring cap 100 .
- the measuring cap 100 is connected to the receptacle 2 by screwing.
- the measuring cap 100 comprises a body 80 with a longitudinal axis II-II, a sealing joint 15 , an assembly ring 16 and a closure element 40 .
- the main difference between the first and second embodiments lies in the fact that, in the second embodiment, the closure member 41 and the operating member 42 are in a single piece and produce the closure element 40 .
- the operating member 42 can be a part attached by adhesive bonding, clipping, hooping or screwing.
- the axial fluid passage 12 comprises a threaded top portion 12 b , a bottom shoulder 43 and an intermediate shoulder 44 a .
- the bottom shoulder 43 is placed in an intermediate position between the fluid outlet passage 13 and the upstream orifice 12 a of the axial fluid passage 12 .
- the closure element 40 is able to selectively close and open the fluid outlet passage 13 . It is controlled directly by an action of a user on the operating member 42 accessible on the emerging part 11 of the body 80 .
- the closure member 41 is a rod comprising four sections.
- a first top section 41 a is partially threaded in its part close to the operating member 42 .
- Its second portion 41 b has a reduced diameter and comprises an annular groove 45 with a frustoconical double profile.
- the annular groove 45 may however have any other form producing a bulge, for example a spherical profile.
- the first portion 41 a and the second portion 41 b are joined by a shoulder 44 a .
- the third portion 41 c has a frustoconical profile and joins the fourth portion 41 d at a point that terminates the rod.
- the annular groove 45 is provided with a closure joint 46 .
- the closure joint 46 can advantageously be made from elastomer and be tubular and cylindrical in shape with a circular cross section with constant thickness.
- the annular groove 45 has a depth that increases in the direction of the upstream orifice 12 a.
- the measuring cap 100 also comprises a closure element such as a ball 47 , engaged in axial movement in the axial fluid passage 12 , and held in position by a conical spring 48 .
- the diameter of the ball 47 is chosen so as to be sufficient in order not to enter the receptacle 2 , and sufficient to create a seal when the ball 47 is in contact with the bottom shoulder 43 .
- the spring could be straight and in abutment on the plunger tube 49 ( FIGS. 8 to 11 ), the inside diameter of which is less than that of the ball 47 .
- the measuring cap 100 is in a closure position in which the product contained in the receptacle 2 cannot be expelled to the outside of the receptacle 2 .
- the point-shaped fourth portion 41 d of the closure member 41 cooperates with a narrowing 50 of the axial fluid passage 12 , upstream from the fluid outlet passage 13 .
- the narrowing 50 forms a seat against which the fourth portion 41 d can come to bear, then providing a sealed closure of the axial fluid passage 12 .
- the point-shaped fourth portion 41 d no longer cooperates with the narrowing 50 of the axial fluid passage 12 . In this way a partial opening is produced, which allows the pressurised fluid to pass at a rate that the user can control by axial movement of the closure member 41 by screwing the closure element 40 to a greater or lesser extent.
- the point-shaped form of the fourth portion 41 d allows gradual opening.
- the diameter of the third portion 41 c and the shape of the point 41 d can be modified.
- the ball 47 fulfils the dual function of filling valve and safety valve.
- the function of the safety valve is illustrated in FIG. 8 .
- the closure element 40 For filling, the closure element 40 is absent, the fluid outlet passage 13 is blocked, and the ball 47 is pushed by the conical spring 48 towards the bottom shoulder 43 . By contact between the ball 47 and the bottom shoulder 43 , the seal is provided.
- the fluid entering under pressure pushes the ball 47 towards the inside of the receptacle 2 so that the ball 47 is no longer in contact with the bottom shoulder 43 and allows the pressurised fluid to pass towards the inside of the receptacle 2 .
- the ball 47 fulfils the role of non-return valve in that it prevents the fluid contained in the receptacle 2 from emerging since the fluid that moves towards the outlet pushes the ball 47 in contact with the bottom shoulder 43 , creating the seal and preventing the expulsion of pressurised fluid towards the outside of the receptacle 2 .
- the ball 47 also fulfils the role of safety valve since, if the closure 40 element is unscrewed by accident, the ball 47 rises and comes into contact with the bottom shoulder 43 in order to create the seal. The pressurised fluid is then not expelled to the outside of the receptacle 2 .
- FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate a third embodiment of the invention.
- the difference compared with the second embodiment is the absence of a conical spring.
- the ball 47 is held in position by sufficient pressure inside the receptacle 2 ( FIG. 10 ).
- FIGS. 8 to 11 illustrate a plunger tube 49 for guiding the fluid from the inside of the receptacle 2 to the outside.
- the ball 47 has a diameter greater than the inside diameter after fitting of the plunger tube 49 , so that the ball 47 does not fall into the receptacle 2 ( FIG. 11 ). In this way, the ball 47 is engaged between the plunger tube 49 and the bottom shoulder 43 .
- the plunger tube 49 is not shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 but can be designed to fulfil in particular the same function of limitation of the travel of the ball 47 , or the function of support of the spring 48 .
- the second and third embodiments are suitable particularly for fluids with a granulometry of less than 2 mm.
- the measuring cap can be produced from any material having food characteristics when the receptacle must contain and dispense a fluid for food use. It can be produced from plastics material or metal (for example stainless steel or an aluminium alloy).
- the fluid outlet 13 could have any form enabling an extension tube to be fitted for dispensing the fluid more ergonomically.
- the cone angle ⁇ of the frustoconical portion of the radial peripheral protrusion 10 does not correspond to the inclination ⁇ of the internal edge of the neck of the receptacle.
- the ball 47 could be replaced by a cylinder with a diameter substantially less than the diameter of the axial fluid passage 12 and substantially greater than the inside diameter of the spring 48 , where applicable.
- Said cylinder can be provided with a substantially frustoconical groove, like the groove 22 a ( FIG. 6 ).
- a closure joint, like the closure joint 23 a is provided in the groove. The seal is achieved as illustrated in FIG. 6 , the sealing joint coming into contact with a narrowing of the axial fluid passage, such as the narrowing 50 ( FIGS. 8 to 11 ).
