Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general field of packaging, and in particular the field of metal covers for containers of the can type. More particularly, it relates to the metal covers of the type including a removable part that is delimited by a scoreline and that is equipped with an opening member.
- Some metal containers mainly the cans for the packaging of foodstuffs, are provided with a so-called “easy” opening system (or “EOE” for “Easy Open End”), avoiding the use of tools such as can-openers.
- EEE Easy Opening System
- a commonly implemented solution consists in a single-piece metal cover including two parts, i.e.:
- the scoreline is torn by a handling of an opening member carried by the central panel, commonly known as the “opening ring”.
- This type of opening member conventionally comprises three parts, arranged successively over its length, i.e.:
- the opening member is flatten against the upper surface of the central panel.
- the user is brought to operate the opening member in two successive and distinct steps.
- the user grasps the opening member, generally by its central grasping part, then he moves it apart from the central part.
- the opening member then forms a lever, so that its beak-shaped, peripheral incision part causes a local breaking of the scoreline.
- This rotational operation leads to the tearing of two upstream portions, on either side of the longitudinal axis of the opening member.
- the removable part of the cover is then locally bent inwardly, about a virtual axis that is oriented perpendicularly, or approximately perpendicularly, to the longitudinal axis of the opening member.
- a second step of opening the user exerts a traction on the opening member so as to continue the tearing of the scoreline and to dissociate all or part of the removable part from the cover.
- the opening member hence allows the transmission of the force applied by the user, and of the energy generated, to the removable part of the metal cover, so as to ensure the tearing of the metal along the scoreline.
- the easiness of opening is defined by the level of force and energy required to break this scoreline, which is in practice the most possible reduced.
- this depression is of the order of 600 to 700 mbars for canned corn, and of the order of 850 to 900 mbars for the canned, steam-cooked vegetables.
- Such a structure then generates a punctual blocking of the opening during the tearing of the upstream portions of the scoreline.
- the hardness increase of the material, and/or the decrease of the thicknesses, used for the cover may give rise to an influence of the rolling direction.
- the tearing is liable not to propagate along the scoreline, as desired, but in the central closing panel.
- the applicant has developed a new structure of easy opening metal cover, that makes it possible, no longer to punctually block the opening during the tearing of the upstream portions of the scoreline, but to progressively control the energy used for this tearing.
- the metal cover according to the invention comprises:
- the central part comprises a removable part that is delimited by a scoreline having a variable residual thickness and that is equipped with an opening member.
- This opening member includes, on either side of a part for the fastening to the removable part, a peripheral incision part and a central grasping part.
- the scoreline comprises:
- the upstream and downstream portions are arranged on either side of a virtual axis extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the opening member, said virtual axis corresponding to the bend line generated on the removable part after a pivoting of said opening member and the tearing of said upstream portions.
- each upstream portion of the scoreline includes, successively in the tearing direction, at least two sections:
- the second section extends over at least 20%, preferably over at least 25%, still preferably between 25% and 60%, of the length of said upstream portion.
- Said second section of each upstream portion of the scoreline includes:
- the structure of the scoreline according to the invention hence allows entering the second sections whose tearing will continue progressively and at a higher level of effort.
- the present invention also relates to a container, in particular of the metal can type, equipped with a metal cover as defined hereinabove.
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a cover according to the invention, wherein the method comprises a step of incision of the scoreline into said cover, by means of an incision tool comprising an upper member (for example an incision block) and a lower member (for example an anvil) each carrying a profile.
- an incision tool comprising an upper member (for example an incision block) and a lower member (for example an anvil) each carrying a profile.
- each upstream portion of the scoreline includes, successively in the tearing direction, at least two sections:
- the present invention also relates to the device for manufacturing a metal cover according to the invention, comprising an incision tool for forming the scoreline, wherein the incision tool comprises an upper member (for example, an incision block) and a lower member (for example, an anvil), each carrying an incision profile.
- the incision tool comprises an upper member (for example, an incision block) and a lower member (for example, an anvil), each carrying an incision profile.
- the profiles in incision position define, between each other, a space of variable width to generate the upstream portions of the scoreline according to the invention.
- Each upstream portion of the scoreline includes, successively in the tearing direction, at least two sections:
- FIG. 1 shows, in top view, a metal cover according to the invention
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a cross-section of the scoreline formed in the metal cover
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a development of the longitudinal section of one of the upstream portions of the scoreline formed in the metal cover, showing the evolution of its residual thickness over its length;
- FIG. 4 schematically illustrates the tool for forming the scoreline according to the invention into the metal cover
- FIG. 5 schematically shows the profile of incision of the upper member of the incision tool according to FIG. 4 , adapted to form a scoreline according to FIG. 3 ;
- FIGS. 6 to 12 each schematically show a development of the longitudinal section of a variant of embodiment of an upstream portion of the scoreline formed in the metal cover, showing the variation of its residual thickness over its length.
- the metal cover 1 shown in FIG. 1 , is intended to be assembled to the upper edge of a metal container body (not shown).
- This container body is generally consisted of a bottom associated with the lower edge of a belt of lateral walls (of circular, square, rectangular cross-section, etc.).
- the linking between the metal cover 1 and the upper edge of this container body is made in the conventional way, for example by a seaming technique.
- This metal cover 1 is of the “easy opening” (or “EOE” for “Easy Open End”) type, avoiding the use of tools such as can-openers.
- this metal cover 1 is conventionally consisted of two parts:
- This metal cover 1 is advantageously made single-piece by a drawing technique, from a metal sheet (advantageously made of aluminium, steel, etc.).
- the peripheral part 3 is herein of annular shape or ring shape. It is adapted for the fastening of the metal cover 1 , advantageously by seaming, to the upper edge of a container body having a cylindrical lateral wall.
- the peripheral part 3 may have any other shape (for example, square, rectangular), which would be adapted to the section of the container body (as the case may be, parallelepipedal).
- the central part 2 has two faces ( FIG. 2 ):
- the distance between these two faces 21 , 22 corresponds to the nominal thickness N of the central part 2 ( FIG. 2 ).
- This nominal thickness N of the central part 2 is for example comprised between 0.14 and 0.28 mm, preferably between 0.16 and 0.25 mm.
- the central part 2 comprises a removable part 4 intended to form the opening of access to the container content.
- the removable part 4 is, on the one hand, delimited by a scoreline 5 , also called “incision line”, and on the other hand, equipped with an opening member 6 .
- the opening member 6 is arranged at the upper face 21 of the central part 2 , covering the removable part 4 ( FIG. 1 ).
- this opening member 6 by a user will allow an easy opening of the metal cover 1 , i.e. an unfastening, total or partial, of the removable part 4 by tearing of the scoreline 5 .
- This well-known opening member 6 is also met under the name “opening ring”.
- This opening member 6 conventionally includes three parts, successively arranged along a longitudinal axis 6 ′, i.e.:
- the scoreline 5 consists in a narrowing of material, forming a lower-strength structure.
- This scoreline 5 is herein complete (closed), and advantageously of circular shape ( FIG. 1 ). As an alternative, it could be partial (for example, in an arc of a circle) and/or have any other shape (square, rectangular, for example).
- this scoreline 5 has a residual thickness E that corresponds to the minimum distance measured between:
- the upper surface 51 of this scoreline 5 is formed by an upper grove 53 provided in the upper face 21 of the central part 2 .
- This scoreline 5 could also be formed, as an alternative or a complement, by a groove 54 that would be provided in the lower face 22 of the central part 2 (as schematically illustrated in FIG. 2 in discontinuous lines). As the case may be, this lower groove 54 also forms the lower surface 52 of the scoreline 5 .
- the scoreline 5 comprises different portions, i.e.:
- the two upstream portions 55 extend on either side of the longitudinal axis 6 ′ of the opening member 6 .
- Each upstream portion 55 , on the one hand, and the downstream portion 56 , on the other hand, are herein separated by a virtual axis 10 shown in FIG. 1 .
- the virtual axis 10 corresponds, at least approximately, to the bend line generated on the removable part 4 after the pivoting of the opening member 6 .
- this virtual axis 10 extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis 6 ′ of the opening member 6 .
- This virtual axis 10 advantageously passes, at least approximately, at the level of the fastening part 8 .
- each upstream portion 55 extends between two points ( FIG. 1 ):
- each upstream portion 55 of the scoreline 5 includes, over its length, a specific progression of its residual thickness E.
- each upstream portion 55 of the scoreline 5 includes three successive sections, i.e. in the tearing direction (from the initial point A to the terminal point B):
- the upper groove 53 and/or the lower groove 54 have hence a variable depth at each upstream portion 55 of the scoreline 5 to define this variable residual thickness E.
- each section 551 , 552 and 553 of the upstream portion 55 each form a step.
- Each section 551 , 552 and 553 of the upstream portion 55 hence has a residual thickness E 1 , E 2 , E 3 , respectively, constant over its length L 1 , L 2 , L 3 .
- the residual thickness E 2 of the second section 552 is higher than the residual thickness E 1 , E 3 of the first section 551 and of the third section 553 , respectively.
- the first section 551 and the third section 553 of the upstream portion 55 have moreover mutually identical residual thickness E 1 , E 3 .
- the residual thickness E 1 , E 3 of these first section 551 and third section 553 is advantageously identical, or at least approximately identical, to the majority residual thickness E 4 of the downstream portion 56 .
- major residual thickness it is understood in particular the residual thickness E 4 of the downstream portion 56 over its whole length or almost its whole length, except possible punctual sections having a variation of residual thickness E aiming to control its tearing.
- the first section 551 and the third section 553 of the upstream portion 55 have residual thickness E 1 , E 3 comprised between 45 and 80 ⁇ m for metal cover made of steel.
- the residual thickness E 2 of the second section 552 has an additional residual thickness EZ, with respect to the residual thickness E 1 , E 3 of the first section 551 and of the third section 553 .
- this additional residual thickness EZ is comprised between 10 and 50 ⁇ m, preferably between 15 and 35 ⁇ m.
- the second section 552 extends over a length L 2 corresponding to at least 20%, preferably at least 25%, still preferably between 25 and 60%, of the length L of this upstream portion 55 .
- the second section 552 of the upstream portion 55 is ended by:
- the upstream end 5521 is advantageously located remote from the initial point A.
- the downstream end 5522 is herein provided within the upstream portion 55 , remote from the terminal point B.
- this downstream end 5522 of the second section 552 could be located at the terminal point B of the upstream portion 55 , directly connected to an end of the downstream portion 56 of the scoreline 5 .
- the upstream end 5521 and the downstream end 5522 herein consist in an abrupt variation of the residual thickness.
- upstream 5521 and downstream 5522 ends hence extend perpendicularly with respect, on the one hand, to the second section 552 , and on the other hand, to the associated first or third section 551 and 553 .
- the upstream end 5521 of the second section 552 is advantageously located at a distance comprised between 3 and 8 mm with respect to the initial point A of the upstream portion 55 (corresponding to the length L 1 of the first section 551 ).
- the two upstream portions 55 of the scoreline 5 advantageously extend symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis 6 ′ of the opening member 6 .
- the user operates the opening member 6 in two successive and distinct operations.
- the user grasps the opening member 6 , generally by its central grasping part 9 , then he moves it apart from the central part 2 .
- the opening member 6 then forms a lever, whose beak-shaped, peripheral incision part 7 caused a local breaking of the scoreline 5 , within the first section 551 of the two upstream portions 55 .
- This tearing propagates along the two upstream portions 55 , on either side of the longitudinal axis 6 ′ of the opening member 6 , towards their respective terminal points B.
- the tearing then continues within the two second sections 552 of the upstream portions 55 , progressively and at a higher level of effort.
- This mechanism allows a slowing down of the speed of opening, during which a balancing of the pressure is performed between the container inside and the environment, with no risk of sagging of the cover.
- This slowing down is in particular allowed by a level of force and energy increasing progressively, over a significant length of the upstream portions 55 , in order to break the second sections 552 thereof.
- the pivoting of the opening member 6 is continued until the total or partial tearing of the upstream portions 55 of the scoreline 5 , ideal up to the terminal point B.
- the removable part 4 of the cover 1 is then locally bent inwardly, about the virtual axis 10 .
- a second opening step conventionally, the user exerts a traction on the opening member 6 so as to continue the tearing of the scoreline 5 , in particular the downstream portion 56 thereof, and to dissociate all or part of the removable part 4 with respect to the cover 1 .
- a metal cover 1 according to the invention may be obtained by a method comprising a step of incision of the scoreline 5 into the cover 1 , by means of an incision tool 12 as schematically shown in FIG. 4 .
- Such an incision tool 12 comprises an upper member 121 , for example an incision block, and a lower member 122 , for example an anvil.
- the upper member 121 and the lower member 122 include mutually opposite profiles 1211 and 1221 , to define the section of the scoreline 5 .
- the profile 1211 of the upper member 121 constitutes an incision profile, intended to conform the upper groove 53 of the scoreline 5 .
- the incision profile 1211 of the upper member 121 has a profile complementary of that of each upstream portion 55 , with, in particular, a recess 1212 intended to define the second section 552 of the scoreline 5 .
- the method for manufacturing a cover 1 according to the invention firstly comprises the providing of a cover to be incised.
- step of incision of the scoreline 5 is performed by means of the incision tool 12 described hereinabove.
- the profiles 1211 , 1221 of said incision tool 121 are moved closer together by a movement of translation, to generate the upper 53 and/or lower 54 grooves in the central part 2 of the cover 1 .
- the profiles 1211 , 1221 hence define, between each other, a space of variable width over the length of said profiles, which is complementary of the residual thickness E of the scoreline 5 , to generate in particular the sections 551 , 552 and 553 of the upstream portions 55 of the scoreline 5 .
- FIGS. 6 to 12 illustrate variants of embodiment for the upstream portions 55 of the scoreline 5 .
- FIGS. 6 and 7 are different from the structure described hereinabove in relation with FIGS. 1 to 3 by the structure of the upstream 5521 and downstream 5522 ends of the second section 552 .
- these ends 5521 , 5522 consist in respectively ascending and descending straight slops.
- this variation of thickness is made over a length comprised between 0.3 and 0.7 mm.
- downstream end 5522 extends over a higher length with respect to the length of the upstream end 5521 .
- This structural characteristic has for advantage to smoothen the variation of effort felt by the consumer.
- the upstream end 5521 includes a discontinuous progressive variation of the residual thickness E.
- this upstream end 5521 has the shape of a staircase or a succession of steps.
- This structural characteristic has also for advantage to smoothen the variation of effort felt by the consumer.
- FIGS. 8 to 12 are different from the structure described hereinabove in relation with FIGS. 1 to 3 by a variable residual thickness E 2 of the second section 552 .
- the additional residual thickness EZ corresponds to the maximal residual thickness of this section 552 .
- the second section 552 has a continuous progressive variation of the residual thickness E 2 , with an ascending linear slope higher than a decreasing linear slope.
- the second section 552 has a continuous progressive variation of the residual thickness E 2 , with an ascending linear slope identical, or at least approximately identical, to the decreasing linear slope.
- the second section 552 has a curved variation of thickness, for example in an arc of a circle.
- the second section 553 has a variation of thickness with a generally oscillating shape, broken in FIG. 11 and curved in FIG. 12 .
- the residual thickness E 2 of the second section 552 oscillates between a minimum value E 21 and a maximum value E 22 that both remain higher than the residual thickness E 1 , E 3 of the first and third sections 551 , 553 .
- the cover structure according to the invention has for interest to preserve an easiness of opening, while offering an efficient solution to the risk of implosion at the opening and to the risk of tearing of the removable part due to its rolling direction.
- the structure of the cover according to the invention allows, for a same cover and scoreline thickness, an increased resistance to implosion with respect to a system of the “arrester flat” type.
