Abstract
A tube head assembly includes a tube head that includes a lid, a cap that includes a punch and a spacing ring. The ring is dimensioned in such a way as to keep the punch spaced from the lid when the cap is screwed onto the neck. Further, the ring and the cap include lugs and recesses co-operating in such a way as to limit their rotation relative to one another in the direction of screwing of the cap onto the neck.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to French Patent Application Serial Number 1262804, filed Dec. 26, 2012, entitled “TUBE HEAD EQUIPPED WITH A LID, ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMPROVED PERFORATING CAP WHICH ENSURES PROTECTION OF THE LID PRIOR TO FIRST USE THEREOF”, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of flexible tubes.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Tubes are known which are provided with a lid associated with a perforating cap that includes a punch adapted in order to perforate the lid when the cap is inserted in a first direction into the neck of the tube, and in order to be screwed onto the neck when it is positioned in a second direction on the neck of the tube.
- In fact the lid makes it possible to keep the product contained in the tube sealed during its storage prior to its first use, which represents a very significant part of the overall service life of the tube.
- However, such solutions are not very practical and not greatly appreciated by users. They also lead to having a tube with a punch which projects from its cap during its use and its storage, and a pushing force is required in order to pierce the lid with the aid of the punch of the cap.
- In order to remedy these drawbacks, solutions have been proposed in which the punch is disposed in the cap in such a way as to be able to perforate the lid when the cap is screwed onto the tube head. However, in order to ensure the preservation of the lid prior to the first use, a spacing ring is disposed between the cap and the shoulder of the head of the tube, so as to keep the punch spaced apart from the lid when the cap is screwed onto the neck.
- However, such solutions are very restrictive industrially in that they necessitate the positioning of several parts on the tube head.
- It has likewise been proposed to produce the cap and the ring integrally formed in one piece, these two elements thus being linked by material bridges adapted to be broken by screwing or unscrewing of the cap. However, the positioning of the cap on the tube head by machine then requires extreme precision in order not to break the material bridges systematically during capping, making this solution impracticable.
- The present invention seeks propose an assembly that includes a tube head that includes a lid and a cap provided with a punch adapted in order to ensure the preservation of the lid prior to the first use, whilst being exploitable on an industrial scale for the operations of manufacture and positioning of the cap on the tube head.
- To this end, the invention proposes an assembly that includes
-
- a tube head that includes a neck defining a longitudinal axis, a shoulder and a solid insert forming a lid closing the neck,
- a cap that includes a punch adapted in order to cut the lid, the cap being adapted to be screwed onto the neck, and configured in such a way that when the cap is screwed onto the neck the punch is inserted into the neck,
- a removable spacing ring disposed bearing against the shoulder around the neck,
- The ring and the cap can be formed integrally in one piece and joined by material bridges. The ring further can have an internal diameter greater than the external diameter of the cap, so as to enable the cap to slide through the ring after breakage of the material bridges. Also, the ring can be dimensioned in such a way as to keep the punch spaced apart from the lid when the cap is screwed onto the neck. Finally, the ring and the cap include lugs and recesses co-operating in such a way as to limit their rotation relative to one another in the direction of screwing of the cap on the neck in order to prevent the breakage of the material bridges between the ring and the cap during the screwing of the cap on the neck.
- According to a particular embodiment, the shoulder includes projecting reliefs adapted to co-operate with non-return means arranged on an internal wall of the spacing ring in order to block rotation of the ring around the neck in the direction of unscrewing of the cap from the neck, such that the unscrewing of the cap in relation to the neck results in a breakage of the material bridges in order to detach the spacing ring from the cap.
- According to a particular embodiment, the punch is adapted in order after the withdrawal of the spacing ring from the assembly, when the cap is screwed in abutment against the shoulder, to achieve partial cutting of the lid in order to open the neck, the lid then being attached to the uncut part of the insert by a material bridge.
- According to a particular embodiment, the spacing ring includes a plurality of ribs adapted to center the spacing ring around the neck.
- According to a particular embodiment, the spacing ring has the shape of a portion of a circle of which a free end forms a tab which can be gripped by a user.
- According to a particular embodiment, the punch has a free end bevelled along a plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the neck when the cap is screwed onto the neck. The bevelled free end then typically has a semi-circular cross-section.
- Thus the invention ensures retention of the material bridges between the ring and the cap during screwing onto the tube head by an industrial capper, which ensures their relative positioning and therefore enables the ring to act as a stop in order to protect the lid from any perforation or cutting prior to the first use of the assembly by a user.
- Also, this retention of the material bridges between the ring and the cap performs a function as an opening witness; the presence of the material bridges between the ring and the cap during the first use ensures that the cap has never been removed previously.
- Other characteristics, objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, which is purely illustrative and non-limiting, and which should be read in relation to the appended drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of an assembly according to one aspect of the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a view of a cap and a spacing ring of an assembly according to one aspect of the invention; -
FIG. 3 shows a view of a tube head of an assembly according to one aspect of the invention; -
FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of means limiting the rotation of the cap relative to the spacing ring according to one aspect of the invention. - In the set of drawings, the elements in common are referenced by identical reference numerals.
-
FIG. 1 shows an example of an assembly according to one aspect of the invention, that includes -
- a
tube head 1, - a
cap 2, and - a
removable spacing ring 3.
- a
- The
tube head 1 includes aneck 11 defining a longitudinal axis Z-Z, ashoulder 12 and asolid insert 13 forming a lid closing theneck 11. - More precisely, the
insert 13 includes aperipheral section 16, typically in the shape of a truncated cone or a disc, and acentral section 17 forming the lid, of which the diameter corresponds typically to the internal diameter of theneck 11. - The
neck 11 includes athread 14 on its external periphery, adapted to enable thecap 2 to be screwed onto theneck 11. - The
cap 2 includes aninternal tapping 21 adapted in order to co-operate with thethread 14 of theneck 11, and apunch 22 configured in such a way as to be inserted in theneck 11 of thetube head 1 when thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11. A longitudinal direction of thecap 2 is defined, corresponding to the longitudinal axis Z-Z of theneck 11 when thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11. - The
spacing ring 3 and thecap 2 are integrally formed in one single piece, and thus are connected bymaterial bridges 31 shown inFIG. 2 . - The
spacing ring 3 is configured so as to be able to be able to be disposed around theneck 11, bearing against theshoulder 12, and thus to maintain a spacing between thecap 2 and theshoulder 12 when thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11 and thematerial bridges 31 joining thespacing ring 3 and thecap 2 have not been broken. - More precisely, the
spacing ring 3 is configured so as to keep thepunch 22 spaced apart from theinsert 13 when thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11 and so that thematerial bridges 31 linking thespacing ring 3 and thecap 2 are not broken, thus preventing the punch from coming into contact with theinsert 13 and therefore preventing it from piercing or cutting the lid formed in theneck 11. -
FIG. 1 shows this configuration in which thespacing ring 3 is joined to thecap 2 by thematerial bridges 31 and is disposed around theneck 11, bearing against theshoulder 12 whilst thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11. Thepunch 22 then extends in theneck 11, at a distance not equal to zero from theinsert 13, thus protecting the lid from any cutting or perforation. - In this way, the assembly formed by the
cap 2 and thespacing ring 3 can be screwed onto theneck 11, until thespacing ring 3 butts against theshoulder 12, theinsert 13 being protected from any punching or cutting as detailed previously. - Moreover, the
ring 3 and thecap 2 are produced in such a way that thering 3 has an internal diameter greater than the external diameter of thecap 2, in such a way as to allow sliding of thecap 2 through thering 3 after breakage of thematerial bridges 31. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , thepunch 22 has a round cylindrical cross-section, of which afree end 23 is bevelled, in such a way that when thecap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11 of thetube head 1, thefree end 23 of thepunch 22 is inserted into theneck 11, and that it is bevelled with respect to a plane normal to the axis Z-Z of theneck 11, the lid formed by theinsert 13 being typically disposed in such a plane normal to the axis Z-Z of theneck 11. - Consequently the
free end 23 of thepunch 22 has circular cross-section inscribed in a plane inclined relative to the axis Z-Z of theneck 11, which coincides with the longitudinal axis of thecap 2. - In the embodiment shown, a chamfer is also produced at the internal edge of the
free end 23 of thepunch 22, thus making it possible to reduce the thickness thereof in order to give the free end 23 a cutting function, which facilitates the cutting of the lid by thepunch 22. - According to another embodiment, the
punch 22 of thecap 2 has afree end 23 similar to that shown inFIG. 1 , but extending solely over a bevelled semicircle as described previously, the other part of thefree end 23 being recessed in such a way as to be set back from the bevelled semicircle. - Such a shape favours the cutting of the lid by the punch, whilst the preceding embodiment provides cutting of the punch by compression.
- The
shoulder 12 of thetube head 1 includesoptional reliefs 15 projecting radially from the junction between theneck 11 and theshoulder 12. - The
spacing ring 3 is equipped with means such asinternal ribs 32 adapted to co-operate with thereliefs 15 in order to enable the ring to rotate around theneck 12 along the axis Z-Z only in a single direction corresponding to the direction of screwing of thecap 2 on theneck 11, thereliefs 15 co-operating with theribs 32 in order to prevent the rotation of thespacing ring 3 around theneck 12 in the direction of unscrewing of thecap 2 from theneck 11 of thetube head 1. -
FIG. 3 shows an example of an embodiment that includesreliefs 15, having a generally helical shape around the axis Z-Z. - Multiple embodiments are possible; the
reliefs 15 may for example form arcs of circles extending from the centre of theneck 11 in order to form a generally spiral shape, or also a general shape of a toothed wheel. - During the first use, the user unscrews the
cap 2 from theneck 11. Thereliefs 15 andinternal ribs 32 then co-operate in order to block the rotation of thespacing ring 3. - The
spacing ring 3 therefore remains immobile whilst thecap 2 is unscrewed, which causes a breakage of the material bridges 31 and the detachment of thering 3 relative to thecap 2. - Once the
cap 2 is unscrewed and removed from theneck 11, the user removes thespacing ring 3 by making it slide along theneck 11, then screws thecap 2 onto theneck 11 again, until thecap 2 is butted against theneck 11 or against theshoulder 12, which results in cutting or perforation of the lid formed by thecentral section 17 of theinsert 13 by thepunch 22 of thecap 2 of which thefree end 23 passes through thecentral section 17 of theinsert 13. - The cutting of the lid is advantageously partial, in such a way that the portion or the portions of the lid which has or have been cut remain joined to the rest of the
insert 13, thus preventing any mixing of the material forming theinsert 13 with a product contained in the associated tube, and a possible dispensing of this material to the user. - By way of example, considering that complete cutting is cutting at 360° of the lid, that is to say circular cutting performed by rotation of the
cap 2, a cut of between 250° and 330° is advantageously made, thus forming a sufficient link in order to ensure the cohesion between thecentral section 17 which has been cut, and theperipheral section 16. - On an industrial scale, the capping, that is to say the step during which the
cap 2 is screwed onto theneck 11, is typically performed by means of a capper. However, it is very delicate to configure such a machine in order for it to screw thecap 2 onto theneck 11 as far as the precise point where thespacing ring 3 butts against theshoulder 11 whilst protecting the material bridges 31. Indeed, if the rotation of thecap 2 in order to screw it onto theneck 11 is slightly too great, the material bridges 31 break, and thecap 2 is detached from thespacing ring 3. - In order to avoid such a risk of breakage of the material bridges 31 during capping, the
spacing ring 3 and thecap 2 comprise lugs 34 and recesses 35 co-operating in such a way as to limit their rotation relative to one another in the direction of screwing of thecap 2 on theneck 11 in order to prevent the breakage of the material bridges between thering 3 and thecap 2 during the screwing of thecap 2 on theneck 11. -
FIG. 4 shows a partial view of an embodiment wherein thelugs 34 are produced on the internal surface of thespacing ring 3 in the form of internal ribs whilst therecesses 35 are arranged on the external periphery of thecap 2. The view shown inFIG. 4 is a sectional view along the plane A-A shown inFIG. 1 . - The
lugs 34 and recesses 35 are arranged in such a way that they only limit the relative rotation between thecap 2 and thespacing ring 3 in the direction corresponding to the screwing of thecap 2 onto theneck 11—conventionally the clockwise direction and represented by an arrow inFIG. 4 , wherein the relative rotation between thecap 2 and thespacing ring 3 in the direction corresponding to the unscrewing of thecap 2 from theneck 11—conventionally the anticlockwise direction—is possible and enables the user to break the material bridges 31 in order to separate thecap 2 and thespacing ring 3. - The
lugs 34 typically extend in a plane perpendicular to the axis Z-Z of theneck 11. - As can be seen in
FIG. 4 , because thelugs 34 and recesses 35 are separate, a limited relative rotation between thecap 2 and thespacing ring 3 is possible due to aspacing 36 between thelugs 34 and therecesses 35. - The spacing 36 between the
lugs 34 and therecesses 35 is dimensioned according to the mechanical properties of the material from which thecap 2 and thespacing ring 3 are formed and in particular according to its resilient and plastic deformation properties, in such a way that the relative rotation which it enables between thecap 2 and thering 3 results in a deformation of the material bridges 31 less than its resistance to breakage. According to a particular embodiment, the spacing 36 is equal to 0.5 mm, therefore corresponding to the distance between thelugs 34 and therecesses 35 in the absence of deformation of thecap 2 and of thering 3. - Thus the present invention allows to ensure the preservation of the material bridges 31 joining the
cap 2 and thespacing ring 3 during the capping, which thus allows to ensure the preservation of the lid prior to the first use due to the spacing function performed by the ring which allows to maintain a spacing between thepunch 22 of thecap 2 and the lid of thetube head 1. - In addition, the invention allows to ensure a function as opening witness. Indeed, during the first use, the user unscrews the
cap 2 from theneck 11; thereliefs 15 andinternal ribs 32 then co-operate in order to block the rotation of thespacing ring 3. - The
spacing ring 3 then remains immobile whilst thecap 2 is unscrewed, which causes a breakage of the material bridges 31 and the detachment of thering 3 relative to thecap 2, and thus allows easily to identify a tube which has already been used.
