DIS POSITIF DE BOUCHAGE NOTAMMENT POUR DES BOUTEILLES , COMPRENENT UN BEC VERSEUR ET UNE CAPSULE POSITIVE CLOSING DEVICE, PARTICULARLY FOR BOTTLES, COMPRISING A POURING SPOUT AND A CAPSULE
La présente invention se rapporte à an dispositif de bouchage comprenant un verseur et une capsule.The present invention relates to a closure device comprising a pourer and a capsule.
Des dispositifs de bouchage de ce type sont bien connus, par exemple pour des bouteilles contenant des liquides tels que de l'huile ou du vinaigre. Par ailleurs, on connaît des dispositifs de ce type destinés spécialement aux boissons non carbonatées et communément appelés "bouchons sport" ou "sport caps" sur lesquels le verseur est équipé d'un obturateur mobile en translation axiale entre une position d'obturation et une position de dégagement de l'orifice du verseur.Corking devices of this type are well known, for example for bottles containing liquids such as oil or vinegar. Furthermore, devices of this type are known which are specially intended for non-carbonated drinks and commonly known as "sport caps" or "sport caps" on which the pourer is equipped with a movable shutter in axial translation between a closed position and a release position of the pouring hole.
Aucun de ces dispositifs de bouchage connus ne convient pour le bouchage de bouteilles contenant des boissons carbonatées. De plus, le dispositif à obturateur mobile en translation se compose de trois pièces, d'où un prix de revient accru.None of these known corking devices is suitable for corking bottles containing carbonated drinks. In addition, the shutter device movable in translation consists of three parts, resulting in an increased cost price.

Selon les figures 1 et 2, un dispositif de bouchage pour le col 1 d'une bouteille en matière plastique, par exemple en PET (poly téréphtalate d'éthylène) ou en une autre matière plastique se prêtant au moulage, par exemple par injection-soufflage, de bouteilles susceptibles de contenir des boissons carbonatées, se compose de deux pièces moulées séparément, à savoir d'un verseur 2 monopièce et d'une capsule 3 monopièce.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a closure device for the neck 1 of a plastic bottle, for example made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or of another plastic material suitable for molding, for example by injection- blowing, of bottles likely to contain carbonated drinks, consists of two parts molded separately, namely a pourer 2 one-piece and a capsule 3 one-piece.
Aussi bien le verseur 2 que la capsule 3 peuvent être par exemple moulés par exemple par injection en matière plastique, par exemple en polypropylène.Both the pourer 2 and the capsule 3 can, for example, be molded, for example by plastic injection, for example polypropylene.
Le col 1 comporte extérieurement, entre son extrémité libre et une collerette de manutention 4 connue en soi, un filetage 5 et un bourrelet de retenue 6. Tel que cela apparaît sur la figure 2, le filetage 5 comporte plusieurs interruptions 7 de dégazage.The neck 1 has externally, between its free end and a handling collar 4 known per se, a thread 5 and a retaining bead 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the thread 5 has several degassing interruptions 7.
Le verseur 2 comprend une partie de fixation 7, une partie d'inviolabilité 8, une partie verseuse 9 et une partie de réception 10. La partie de fixation 7, qui comporte extérieurement un moletage 1 1 , est conformée pour pouvoir coiffer le col de bouteille 1 et comporte intérieurement un filetage 12The pourer 2 comprises a fixing part 7, a tamper-evident part 8, a pouring part 9 and a receiving part 10. The fixing part 7, which externally comprises a knurling 1 1, is shaped to be able to cap the bottle neck 1 and internally comprises a thread 12
La partie d'inviolabilité 8 est une bague qui présente intérieurement un bourrelet annulaire 13 éventuellement interrompu, susceptible de coopérer avec le bourrelet 6 du col 1 , et qui se raccorde à l'extrémité inférieure de la partie de fixation 7 du verseur 2 par plusieurs ponts frangibles 14.The tamper-evident part 8 is a ring which internally has an annular bead 13 possibly interrupted, capable of cooperating with the bead 6 of the neck 1, and which is connected to the lower end of the fixing part 7 of the pourer 2 by several frangible bridges 14.
A son extrémité supérieure, la partie de fixation 7 du verseur 2 comporte intérieurement deux jupes d'étanchéité concentriques, sensiblement cylindriques, à savoir une jupe intérieure 15 coopérant avec l'intérieur du col 1 et une jupe extérieure 16 coopérant avec l'extérieur du col. La jupe extérieure 16 est entourée à faible distance d'une butée annulaire 17.At its upper end, the fixing part 7 of the pourer 2 internally comprises two concentric, substantially cylindrical sealing skirts, namely an inner skirt 15 cooperating with the inside of the neck 1 and an outer skirt 16 cooperating with the outside of the collar.

La tétine 18 présente une forme anatomique, à savoir une forme générale cylindrique, mais avec une gorge annulaire plus ou moins profonde et large, de profil arrondi, permettant une prise en bouche confortable et une tenue par les lèvres et/ou les dents. L'ouverture 19 est définie par un col 20 comportant un flanc intérieur et un flanc extérieur sensiblement cylindriques.The pouring part 9 extends the fixing part 7 upwards in the form of a teat-shaped pourer 18, having an opening 19 at its free end. The nipple 18 has an anatomical shape, namely a generally cylindrical shape, but with a more or less deep and wide annular groove, of rounded profile, allowing a comfortable grip in the mouth and held by the lips and / or teeth. The opening 19 is defined by a neck 20 comprising an interior flank and an exterior flank that are substantially cylindrical.
La partie de réception 10 est disposée entre la partie de fixation 7 et la partie verseuse 9 et comporte extérieurement, du côté tourné vers la partie verseuse 9, un filetage 21 présentant plusieurs interruptions de dégazage 22 et, du côté tourné vers la partie de fixation 7, un bourrelet annulaire 23.The receiving part 10 is disposed between the fixing part 7 and the pouring part 9 and has externally, on the side facing the pouring part 9, a thread 21 having several degassing interruptions 22 and, on the side facing the fixing part 7, an annular bead 23.
La capsule 3 comprend un corps de capsule 24 en forme de godet et une bague d'inviolabilité 25 qui est reliée à l'extrémité ouverte du corps de capsule 24 par plusieurs ponts frangibles 26. Tel que cela apparaît surtout sur la figure 3, la bague d'inviolabilitéThe capsule 3 comprises a capsule-shaped capsule body 24 and a tamper-evident ring 25 which is connected to the open end of the capsule body 24 by several frangible bridges 26. As can be seen above in FIG. 3, the tamper evident ring
25 comporte intérieurement un bourrelet 27 présentant plusieurs interruptions, susceptible de coopérer avec le bourrelet extérieur 23 de la partie de réception 10 du verseur. La paroi latérale du corps de capsule 24 comprend une partie intérieure cylindrique munie intérieurement d'un filetage 28 présentant plusieurs interruptions de dégazage 29, et une partie supérieure sensiblement hexagonale, c'est-à-dire présentant six plats ou facettes de préhension.25 internally comprises a bead 27 having several interruptions, capable of cooperating with the outer bead 23 of the receiving part 10 of the pourer. The side wall of the capsule body 24 includes an inner cylindrical part provided internally with a thread 28 having several degassing interruptions 29, and an upper substantially hexagonal part, that is to say having six gripping plates or facets.
Le fond (paroi d'extrémité) du corps de capsule 24 comporte intérieurement une jupe 30 intérieure susceptible de coopérer avec l'intérieur du col 20 de la partie verseuse 9, donc avec l'ouverture 19 du bec verseur, une jupe 31 extérieure, concentrique à la jupe intérieure 30, et susceptible de coopérer avec le flanc extérieur du col 20. La jupe extérieure 31 est à son tour entourée à faible distance d'un bourrelet annulaire 32 servant de butée de limitation de l'épanouissement de la jupe 31 , lors de la coopération de cette dernière avec le flanc extérieur du col 20.The bottom (end wall) of the capsule body 24 internally has an internal skirt 30 capable of cooperating with the interior of the neck 20 of the pouring part 9, therefore with the opening 19 of the pouring spout, an external skirt 31, concentric with the inner skirt 30, and capable of cooperating with the outer flank of the neck 20. The outer skirt 31 is in turn surrounded at a short distance by an annular bead 32 serving as a stop for limiting the development of the skirt 31 , during the latter's cooperation with the outer flank of the neck 20.
Il apparaît que le dispositif de bouchage conforme à l'invention n'est composé que de deux pièces moulées, à savoir d'un verseur 2 et d'une capsule 3. Ces deux pièces qui peuvent être de préférence réalisées en des couleurs différentes, sont assemblées par simple vissage de la capsule sur le verseur. Le dispositif de bouchage ainsi assemblé est ensuite monté par simple vissage sur le col de bouteille à boucher.It appears that the closure device according to the invention is composed only of two molded parts, namely a pourer 2 and a capsule 3. These two parts which can preferably be produced in different colors, are assembled by simply screwing the capsule onto the pourer. The capping device thus assembled is then mounted by simple screwing on the neck of the corking bottle.
Chacune des deux bagues d'inviolabilité 8 et 25 apporte à l'utilisateur la garantie recherchée quant au contenu de la bouteille bouchée par ce dispositif.Each of the two tamper-evident rings 8 and 25 provides the user with the desired guarantee as to the content of the bottle capped by this device.
Les deux systèmes d'étanchéité constitués par les deux jupes 15 et 16 coopérant avec le col de la bouteille 1 , et les deux jupes 30 et 31 coopérant avec le col 20 du verseur 2, assurent une étanchéité parfaite même sur des bouteilles contenant par exemple des boissons carbonatées.The two sealing systems constituted by the two skirts 15 and 16 cooperating with the neck of the bottle 1, and the two skirts 30 and 31 cooperating with the neck 20 of the pourer 2, ensure perfect sealing even on bottles containing for example carbonated drinks.
Il va de soi que le mode de réalisation représenté et décrit n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple indicatif et limitatif et que de nombreuses modifications et variantes sont possibles dans le cadre de l'invention.It goes without saying that the embodiment shown and described has only been given as an indicative and limiting example and that numerous modifications and variants are possible within the scope of the invention.
Ainsi, la fixation du verseur 2 sur le col de la bouteille 1 et/ou la fixation de la capsule 3 sur le verseur 2, au lieu de se faire par vissage, pourraient également se faire par encliquetage. Toutefois, pour des bouteilles contenant des boissons carbonatées, il est préférable de choisir une fixation de la capsule 3 sur le verseur 2 par vissage. Par ailleurs, les systèmes d'étanchéité par deux jupes concentriques pourraient être remplacés par d'autres systèmes d'étanchéité connus en soi dans le domaine du bouchage.Thus, the fixing of the pourer 2 on the neck of the bottle 1 and / or the fixing of the cap 3 on the pourer 2, instead of being done by screwing, could also be done by snap-fastening. However, for bottles containing carbonated drinks, it is preferable to choose a fixing of the cap 3 on the pourer 2 by screwing. Furthermore, the sealing systems by two concentric skirts could be replaced by other sealing systems known per se in the field of sealing.
II en est de même en ce qui concerne la nature des moyens d'inviolabilité (bague d'inviolabilité 8 du verseur 2 et bague d'inviolabilité 25 de la capsule 3). It is the same with regard to the nature of the tamper-evident means (tamper-evident ring 8 of the pourer 2 and tamper-evident ring 25 of the capsule 3).
