Description

DISPOSITIF D'OBTURATION REVERSIBLE POUR RECIPIENTREVERSIBLE SEALING DEVICE FOR CONTAINER
L'invention concerne un dispositif ou organe destiné à assurer la fermeture d'un récipient de manière générale, et d'un emballage en particulier.The invention relates to a device or organ intended to ensure the closure of a container in general, and of a packaging in particular.
L'invention a plus particulièrement trait à un organe de fermeture, susceptible d'assurer, outre sa fonction première d'obturation effective de l'ouverture du récipient auquel il est solidarisé ou rapporté, également un rôle actif qui peut être de différente nature, et notamment déshumidifiant, réhydratant, absorbeur d'oxygène, absorbeur ou émetteur de dioxyde de carbone, absorbeur ou diffuseur d'odeur(s), voire développer des propriétés anti-moisissures.The invention relates more particularly to a closure member capable of ensuring, in addition to its primary function of effectively closing the opening of the container to which it is secured or attached, also an active role which can be of different nature, and in particular dehumidifying, rehydrating, oxygen absorber, absorber or emitter of carbon dioxide, absorber or diffuser of odor (s), or even develop anti-mold properties.
Il es bien connu aujourd'hui de mettre en œuvre dans certains domaines d'application des produits déshydratants ou déshumidifïcateurs, visant à absorber l'humidité contenu dans un volume déterminé. En effet, pour un certain nombre de produits ou d'applications, l'humidité ambiante s'avère rédhibitoire et doit donc être évitée à tout prix.It is well known today to use in certain fields of application desiccants or dehumidifiers, aimed at absorbing the moisture contained in a determined volume. Indeed, for a certain number of products or applications, the ambient humidity proves to be prohibitive and must therefore be avoided at all costs.
Dans le domaine alimentaire, le problème peut également se poser dès lors que l'on fait appel à des produits pulvérulents, tels que par exemple du chocolat en poudre pour le petit déjeuner, le lait en poudre, les flocons de pomme de terre pour la réalisation de purée, etc..In the food sector, the problem can also arise when powdery products are used, such as for example chocolate powder for breakfast, milk powder, potato flakes for making mash, etc.
Aussi longtemps que l'emballage contenant ces produits n'a pas été ouvert, ceux-ci sont le plus souvent maintenus de manière étanche, à l'abri notamment de l'humidité, par exemple par operculage.As long as the packaging containing these products has not been opened, they are most often maintained in a sealed manner, in particular away from humidity, for example by sealing.
Cependant, dès lors que l'emballage est ouvert pour la première fois, induisant nécessairement l'arrachage à tout le moins partiel de l'opercule, le mode de fermeture généralement mis en œuvre ne permet plus d'assurer cette etanchéité par rapport à l'air ambiant, et partant par rapport à l'humidité qu'il contient, de sorte qu'il se forme une agglomération de la poudre, et de manière générale de la matière sèche, se présentant sous la forme de grumeaux, et parallèlement il est observé une perte d'arôme du produit.However, as soon as the packaging is opened for the first time, necessarily inducing at least partial tearing of the cover, the generally implemented closure method no longer ensures this tightness with respect to the ambient air, and therefore in relation to the humidity which it contains, so that an agglomeration of the powder, and generally of the dry matter, in the form of lumps, is formed, and in parallel it a loss of aroma of the product is observed.
Afin de surmonter cet inconvénient, différentes solutions ont été proposées. La première d'entre elles consiste à réaliser des emballages de petites dimensions, par exemple de type monodose, en vue d'une consommation rapide, et notamment immédiate du contenu de chaque dose dès son ouverture. On s'affranchit incontestablement de la sorte de l'action de l'humidité sur le produit qu'elle contient.In order to overcome this drawback, various solutions have been proposed. The first of these consists of making small packages, for example of the single-dose type, for rapid consumption, and in particular immediate consumption of the content of each dose as soon as it is opened. We undoubtedly get rid of the kind of action of humidity on the product it contains.
Ce faisant, pour une quantité déteπninée de consommable, on augmente de manière significative le coût relatif au seul emballage. A tel point que pour certains produits, l'emballage revient plus cher que le produit lui-même.In doing so, for a given quantity of consumable material, the cost relating to the packaging alone is significantly increased. So much so that for some products, the packaging is more expensive than the product itself.
Pour d'autres applications, tel que par exemple les flocons de pomme de terre, on a proposé de commercialiser au sein d'un emballage plus important, des sachets correspondants à la consommation moyenne d'une, deux ou d'un nombre limité de personnes. De sorte qu'à nouveau, le produit n'est pas soumis à l'humidité car immédiatement consommé.For other applications, such as for example potato flakes, it has been proposed to market within a larger packaging, sachets corresponding to the average consumption of one, two or a limited number of people. So again, the product is not subject to moisture because immediately consumed.
Certes, cette solution conserve le produit non consommé hors de l'action de l'humidité, mais cependant induit également un surenchérissement des coûts.Admittedly, this solution keeps the product not consumed out of the action of humidity, but however also induces an increase in costs.
On a également proposé d'intégrer au fond des bouchons traditionnels, un agent déshumidificateur susceptible ainsi, après refermeture du récipient au moyen dudit bouchon, d'exercer une action visant à absorber l'humidité de l'air ayant pénétré à l'intérieur du volume dudit récipient, libéré par la consommation partielle de son contenu.It has also been proposed to integrate into the bottom of traditional stoppers, a dehumidifying agent which is thus capable, after closing the container by means of said stopper, of exerting an action aimed at absorbing the humidity of the air having penetrated inside the volume of said container, released by the partial consumption of its contents.
Cependant, le risque d'entrée en contact du produit stocké dans le récipient avec l'agent déshumidificateur ou dessicant n'est pas nul, et pour des questions d'ordre hygiéniques et de toxicité, on souhaite à tout prix s'affranchir d'un tel risque.However, the risk of coming into contact of the product stored in the container with the dehumidifier or desiccant is not zero, and for hygienic and toxicity questions, we wish at all costs to be free of such a risk.
L'invention consiste à proposer un couvercle refermable intégrant un tel agent, sans présenter un quelconque risque de contact entre le contenu du récipient auquel il est destiné à s'adapter et l'agent actif mis en œuvre au sein du couvercle.The invention consists in proposing a reclosable cover incorporating such an agent, without presenting any risk of contact between the contents of the container to which it is intended to adapt and the active agent used within the cover.
Ce dispositif d'obturation d'un récipient comprend :This device for closing a container comprises:
• tout d'abord, une bague périphérique, destinée à être rapportée au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du récipient, définissant l'ouverture d'accès à celui-ci ; • et un couvercle, rapporté sur ladite bague, ledit couvercle intégrant un réceptacle susceptible de recevoir un agent actif, ledit réceptacle étant obturé au moyen d'un organe d'obturation.• firstly, a peripheral ring, intended to be attached in the vicinity of the upper end of the container, defining the access opening thereto; • and a cover, attached to said ring, said cover incorporating a receptacle capable of receiving an active agent, said receptacle being closed by means of a closure member.
Selon une première forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe d'obturation du réceptacle est poreux, et notamment est perméable à l'air, de telle sorte à autoriser l'action de l'agent actif sur celui-ci, qu'il s'agisse d'absorber l'humidité, ou d'effectuer un traitement anti-moisissures.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the closure member of the receptacle is porous, and in particular is permeable to air, so as to authorize the action of the active agent on it, which '' it involves absorbing moisture, or performing an anti-mold treatment.
Selon une seconde forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe d'obturation du réceptacle est microperforé, afin notamment de ne permettre le transit au travers de celui-ci que de composants ciblés, notamment dans le cadre de l'absorption d'oxygène, voire de permettre une absorption puis un relargage de l'humidité, dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre à titre de principe actif d'agents réhydratants.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the closure member of the receptacle is microperforated, in particular so as to allow transit through it only of targeted components, in particular in the context of the absorption of oxygen, or even allow absorption and then release of moisture, in the context of the use as active principle of rehydrating agents.
Selon l'invention, la bague périphérique reçoit un opercule, destiné à obturer de manière étanche le contenu du récipient avant une première utilisation. Dans cette configuration, l'organe d'obturation du réceptacle intégrant le principe actif, est destiné à venir en contact étroit et intime avec ledit opercule, lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture, de telle sorte à assurer la fermeture étanche dudit réceptacle, afin d'éviter toute altération de ses propriétés. Cette etanchéité est en outre accrue, lorsqu'une légère pression est exercée par le réceptacle sur l'opercule, sous l'action du couvercle.According to the invention, the peripheral ring receives a seal, intended to seal the contents of the container before a first use. In this configuration, the closure member of the receptacle integrating the active principle, is intended to come into close and intimate contact with said cover, when the cover is in the closed position, so as to ensure the sealed closure of said receptacle, in order to avoid any alteration of its properties. This seal is further increased when a slight pressure is exerted by the receptacle on the cover, under the action of the cover.
La manière dont l'invention peut être réalisée et les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront mieux de l'exemple de réalisation qui suit donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif à l'appui des figures annexées.The manner in which the invention can be implemented and the advantages which ensue therefrom will emerge more clearly from the example of embodiment which follows, given by way of non-limiting illustration in support of the appended figures.
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique en perspective de la partie supérieure d'un récipient mettant en oeuvre le couvercle conforme à l'invention, celui-ci étant en position ouverte.Figure 1 is a schematic perspective representation of the upper part of a container using the cover according to the invention, the latter being in the open position.
La figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, selon une seconde forme de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, according to a second embodiment of the invention.
La figure 3 est une représentation schématique en perspective de la partie supérieure du récipient de la figure 1, le couvercle étant alors fermé. L'exemple qui suit a plus particulièrement trait à un récipient, dont on souhaite maintenir le volume à l'abri de l'humidité, après première ouverture.Figure 3 is a schematic perspective representation of the upper part of the container of Figure 1, the cover then being closed. The example which follows relates more particularly to a container, the volume of which it is desired to keep away from humidity, after first opening.
Un tel récipient (1) peut être de toute nature, et de toute section. Il peut notamment être rigide, et dans ce cas là être réalisé en un carton relativement épais, éventuellement aluminisé.Such a container (1) can be of any kind, and of any section. It can in particular be rigid, and in this case there be made of a relatively thick cardboard, possibly aluminized.
Il peut être également réalisé en un matériau souple, tel que notamment une feuille de matériau plastique, destinée à constituer le corps de l'emballage. On confère à cette feuille la forme souhaitée au moyen d'un mandrin et de pinces venant prendre les bords extrêmes de la feuille afin de les faire se chevaucher bord à bord, typiquement sur une largeur de deux millimètres, puis assurer leur solidarisation sur toute leur hauteur, cette solidarisation étant typiquement réalisée par ultrasons, voire par collage ou thermocollage.It can also be made of a flexible material, such as in particular a sheet of plastic material, intended to constitute the body of the packaging. This sheet is given the desired shape by means of a mandrel and pliers coming to take the extreme edges of the sheet in order to make them overlap edge to edge, typically over a width of two millimeters, then ensuring their joining over their whole height, this joining being typically carried out by ultrasound, or even by gluing or heat-bonding.
Cette feuille est donc réalisée en matière synthétique, voire en carton, traitée de telle sorte à permettre le soudage par ultrasons ou thermocollage. Le corps ainsi réalisé reçoit à sa base un fond, typiquement constitué d'une coupelle, également réalisée en un matériau synthétique, et dont la forme et les dimensions correspondent bien entendu, à la forme et aux dimensions du corps réalisé lors de l'étape précédente.This sheet is therefore made of synthetic material, or even of cardboard, treated so as to allow ultrasonic welding or heat bonding. The body thus produced receives at its base a bottom, typically consisting of a cup, also made of a synthetic material, and the shape and dimensions of which of course correspond to the shape and dimensions of the body produced during the step previous.
La périphérie de cette coupelle présente une gorge au sein de laquelle est destinée à venir s'insérer l'extrémité inférieure dudit corps. Après insertion, il est procédé à une phase de collage ou soudage, afin d'assurer à ce niveau l'étanchéité et l'herméticité requises.The periphery of this cup has a groove within which is intended to be inserted the lower end of said body. After insertion, a bonding or welding phase is carried out in order to ensure the required tightness and hermeticity at this level.
Le couvercle (2) conforme à l'invention est typiquement réalisé en matière plastique, et notamment en polypropylène, par injection en une ou plusieurs étapes.The cover (2) according to the invention is typically made of plastic, and in particular polypropylene, by injection in one or more stages.
II comprend fondamentalement une bague périphérique (3), en l'espèce rigide, destinée à venir s'emmancher au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure du récipient (1) autour de sa périphérie, cette extrémité supérieure constituant l'ouverture d'accès et par ailleurs de vidange au et du contenu dudit récipient.It basically comprises a peripheral ring (3), in this case rigid, intended to be fitted at the upper end of the container (1) around its periphery, this upper end constituting the access opening and also emptying and the contents of said container.
Cette bague périphérique (3) reçoit un opercule (4), destiné, de manière connue, à assurer l'étanchéité du contenu du récipient (1) avant première utilisation. Pour ce faire, elle est munie d'une patte radiale (11), avantageusement issue de moulage, et destinée à servir de support pour ledit opercule (4), notamment lors de sa mise en place. Cette bague périphérique (3) est rapportée à ladite extrémité supérieure du corps par tout moyen traditionnel, tel que notamment collage ou thermocollage.This peripheral ring (3) receives a cover (4), intended, in known manner, to seal the contents of the container (1) before first use. To do this, it is provided with a radial tab (11), advantageously from molding, and intended to serve as a support for said cover (4), in particular during its installation. This peripheral ring (3) is attached to said upper end of the body by any traditional means, such as in particular bonding or heat-bonding.
Le couvercle proprement dit (6) est articulé au niveau d'une charnière (5) à la bague périphérique (3). Cependant, dans une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention non représentée, ledit couvercle peut être clipsé au niveau de l'un des bords de ladite bague (3).The actual cover (6) is articulated at a hinge (5) to the peripheral ring (3). However, in another embodiment of the invention not shown, said cover can be clipped at one of the edges of said ring (3).
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le fond (10) du couvercle (6) présente un réceptacle (7), avantageusement issu du moulage, et destiné à recevoir et contenir un agent actif, et typiquement un agent déshumidificateur (9), tel que par exemple un gel de silice ou de l'argile.According to a characteristic of the invention, the bottom (10) of the cover (6) has a receptacle (7), advantageously from molding, and intended to receive and contain an active agent, and typically a dehumidifying agent (9), such as for example silica gel or clay.
Le couvercle (6), la bague périphérique (3) et le réceptacle (7) constituent avantageusement un ensemble monobloc, réalisé en matière plastique, et issu de moulage.The cover (6), the peripheral ring (3) and the receptacle (7) advantageously constitute a one-piece assembly, made of plastic, and obtained from molding.
Le réceptacle (7) est alors défini par une saillie annulaire, ladite saillie étant avantageusement issue de moulage et s'étendant à partir du fond (10) du couvercle (6). Il s'étend sur une hauteur légèrement supérieure à la hauteur du couvercle, ainsi qu'on peut bien l'observer sur la figure 3. Dans une variante de l'invention non représentée, le couvercle est à ouverture partielle, de telle sorte à réaliser un bec verseur par exemple. Dans cette configuration, le réceptacle est situé sous la partie fixe du couvercle, l'opercule d'étanchéification du récipient étant alors ôté par coulissement, type système à glissières.The receptacle (7) is then defined by an annular projection, said projection advantageously being produced by molding and extending from the bottom (10) of the cover (6). It extends over a height slightly greater than the height of the cover, as can be seen in Figure 3. In a variant of the invention not shown, the cover is partially open, so that make a pouring spout for example. In this configuration, the receptacle is located under the fixed part of the cover, the seal for sealing the container then being removed by sliding, of the sliding system type.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention non représentée, ledit réceptacle n'est pas issu de moulage avec le couvercle, mais rapporté sur le fond (10) dudit couvercle (6), notamment par clipsage ou encliquetage au niveau d'une bague ménagée à cet effet, notamment par moulage, au niveau dudit fond (10). Cette forme de réalisation présente l'avantage de pouvoir remplir le réceptacle (7) en agent actif (9), indépendamment de la réalisation ou de la pose du couvercle (6) sur l'emballage destiné à le recevoir. Le réceptacle (7) est obturé au moyen d'un film ou opercule (8) poreux. Il peut être réalisé en polypropylène, et de manière générale en matière plastique, mais également en papier.According to another embodiment of the invention not shown, said receptacle is not made from molding with the cover, but attached to the bottom (10) of said cover (6), in particular by clipping or snapping at a ring provided for this purpose, in particular by molding, at said bottom (10). This embodiment has the advantage of being able to fill the receptacle (7) with active agent (9), independently of the production or of the fitting of the cover (6) on the packaging intended to receive it. The receptacle (7) is closed by means of a porous film or cover (8). It can be made of polypropylene, and generally of plastic, but also of paper.
Par porosité, on entend la capacité pour le film en question de laisser passer l'air ambiant, chargé d'humidité à l'intérieur du réceptacle (7), afin que l'agent actif qu'il contient puisse effectivement absorber cette humidité. En d'autres termes, l'air environnant ledit réceptacle (7) est susceptible de pouvoir pénétrer à l'intérieur de celui-ci. Ce faisant, l'humidité qu'il véhicule est absorbé par le déshumidificateur (9) qu'il contient.Porosity is understood to mean the capacity for the film in question to allow ambient air, laden with moisture, to pass inside the receptacle (7), so that the active agent which it contains can effectively absorb this moisture. In other words, the air surrounding said receptacle (7) is capable of being able to penetrate inside of it. In so doing, the moisture which it carries is absorbed by the dehumidifier (9) which it contains.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la hauteur relative du réceptacle (7) par rapport au fond (10) du couvercle (6) est choisie de telle sorte que lorsque le couvercle est fermé (figure 3), notamment par encliquetage sur la bague périphérique (3), le film ou opercule (8) vient en contact intime avec l'opercule (4) ménagé au niveau de la bague périphérique (3).According to a characteristic of the invention, the relative height of the receptacle (7) relative to the bottom (10) of the cover (6) is chosen so that when the cover is closed (Figure 3), in particular by snap-fastening on the ring peripheral (3), the film or cover (8) comes into intimate contact with the cover (4) formed at the peripheral ring (3).
Cette intimité est avantageusement renforcée en augmentant légèrement la hauteur dudit réceptacle (7) de telle sorte à induire une flèche légère de l'opercule (4) de l'ordre de 2 à 3/10eme de millimètre sous l'action de la pression ainsi exercée par le réceptacle (7) en suite de la fermeture du couvercle (6).This intimacy is advantageously reinforced by slightly increasing the height of said receptacle (7) so as to induce a slight deflection of the cover (4) of the order of 2 to 3/10 th of a millimeter under the action of pressure. thus exerted by the receptacle (7) following the closing of the cover (6).
Afin en outre de favoriser la tension de l'opercule (4) sous l'action de la pression exercée par le réceptacle (7) lors de la fermeture du couvercle (6), on oriente les pattes (11) de support dudit opercule vers le haut, et on choisit une épaisseur de matière appropriée pour les constituer, de telle sorte à assurer un effet élastique, également dirigé vers le haut. De sorte que, même sous l'action de la pression exercée par le réceptacle (7), l'opercule (4) demeure en permanence tendu, conférant dès lors un contact très ferme entre le film (8) et l'opercule (4), et partant, assurant l'étanchéité dudit réceptacle (7) nonobstant le caractère poreux du film (8).In addition, in order to promote the tension of the cover (4) under the action of the pressure exerted by the receptacle (7) when the cover (6) is closed, the tabs (11) for supporting said cover are oriented towards at the top, and a suitable material thickness is chosen to constitute them, so as to ensure an elastic effect, also directed upwards. So that, even under the action of the pressure exerted by the receptacle (7), the cover (4) remains permanently tensioned, thus conferring a very firm contact between the film (8) and the cover (4 ), and therefore ensuring the tightness of said receptacle (7) notwithstanding the porous nature of the film (8).
En d'autres termes, avant toute première utilisation du récipient (1), le principe actif (9) contenu dans le réceptacle (7) n'est pas soumis à un environnement extérieur et les propriétés pour lesquelles il a été sélectionné ne sont donc pas altérées. Après première ouverture, donc ouverture du couvercle (6), l'opercule (4) est enlevé de sorte qu'il n'y a plus alors fermeture étanche du réceptacle (7), compte tenu de la porosité du film (8). Ainsi, lors de la fermeture du couvercle (6), le principe actif (9) joue alors son rôle et assure, dans l'exemple décrit, une fonction de déshumidifïcation.In other words, before any first use of the container (1), the active principle (9) contained in the receptacle (7) is not subjected to an external environment and the properties for which it has been selected are therefore not not altered. After first opening, therefore opening of the cover (6), the cover (4) is removed so that there is no longer a sealed closure of the receptacle (7), taking into account the porosity of the film (8). Thus, when the cover (6) is closed, the active principle (9) then plays its role and, in the example described, performs a dehumidification function.
Bien évidemment, l'agent actif peut remplir d'autres propriétés en fonction du contenu du récipient (1). Il peut par exemple être un réhydratant ou un absorbeur d'oxygène. Dans cette configuration, le film (8) est microperforé, la dimensions des perforations étant alors fonction de la taille des molécules qu'il convient de laisser transiter.Obviously, the active agent can fulfill other properties depending on the content of the container (1). It can for example be a rehydrating agent or an oxygen absorber. In this configuration, the film (8) is microperforated, the dimensions of the perforations then being a function of the size of the molecules which should be allowed to pass through.
L'agent actif peut également absorber ou émettre du dioxyde de carbone. Il peut également s'agir d'un absorbeur ou au contraire, d'un diffuseur d'odeur ou d'essences aromatiques, propres à accentuer l'odeur du produit contenu dans le récipient lors de son ouverture.The active agent can also absorb or emit carbon dioxide. It can also be an absorber or, on the contrary, an odor or aromatic essence diffuser, capable of accentuating the odor of the product contained in the container when it is opened.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation décrite en relation avec la figure 2, le réceptacle (7) est constitué non pas par une saillie annulaire, mais par l'intégralité du fond du couvercle (6). Dans cette configuration, le film ou opercule (8) s'étend selon sensiblement toute la surface du fond (10) afin d'assurer sa fonction d'obturation. Le film (8) est fixé sur une patte radiale, ménagée au niveau de la face latérale interne du couvercle (6), à la hauteur souhaitée.In another embodiment described in connection with Figure 2, the receptacle (7) is formed not by an annular projection, but by the entire bottom of the cover (6). In this configuration, the film or cover (8) extends along substantially the entire surface of the bottom (10) in order to ensure its sealing function. The film (8) is fixed on a radial tab, formed at the level of the internal lateral face of the cover (6), at the desired height.
On conçoit dès lors du fait de la grande simplicité de réalisation du couvercle, les nombreuses applications auxquelles il est destiné.It is therefore conceivable because of the great simplicity of making the cover, the many applications for which it is intended.
Compte-tenu du principe technique mis en œuvre, il est possible de disposer tout à la fois d'un couvercle refermable à l'infini, assurant sa fonction première d'obturation d'un récipient, tout en lui conférant une fonction bien définie, telle que par exemple une déshumidifïcation sans pour autant altérer les propriétés de l'agent actif en question avant première utilisation, de par la mise en place d'un film (8) coopérant avec l'opercule d'étanchéification du contenu du récipient ou de l'emballage. De la sorte, il devient possible d'optimiser la durée de vie et de conservation de produits, notamment alimentaires. Taking into account the technical principle implemented, it is possible to have at the same time a cover which can be closed infinitely, ensuring its primary function of closing a container, while giving it a well-defined function, such as for example dehumidification without altering the properties of the active agent in question before first use, by the installation of a film (8) cooperating with the seal for sealing the contents of the container or packaging. In this way, it becomes possible to optimize the life and conservation of products, especially food.
