Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of caps for sealing or overcapping containers or bottles containing in particular wines, alcohols, aperitifs and, in general, all alcoholic beverages.
- the means for tamper-evident closure of a neck of a container, typically of a bottle, using a capsule comprising a head and a skirt fixed to said neck during a so-called capping operation is characterized in that, a) said neck has, in addition to a crimping counter-ring, at least one groove with a depth H of between 0.2 mm and 6 mm, and / or a radius of curvature R of between 0.2 mm and 6 mm, R or H being preferably from 0.4 to 3 mm, b) at least one part (50) of said skirt (5), that facing said groove when said capsule covers said neck, comprises, on all or part of its interior surface, an adhesive (7) to form a layer (70) capable of adhering to all or part of said groove (61), c) all or a fraction of said part (50) of said skirt (5) forms a constricted ring (51) in said groove (61) by radial de
- the means of the present invention is not only completely new compared to known anti-fraud means, but it is also more effective than known means, insofar as, to date, and in despite numerous attempts, no fraudulent removal of capsules with a closure means according to the invention has been possible.
- closure means according to the invention is relatively inexpensive.
- the closure means relate to the closure means according to the invention and are axial sections of necks (6) along their vertical axis of symmetry (63) covered or not with capsules (1, 2, 2 ', 3).
- the closure means comprises an overcap capsule (2), the neck (6) being closed by a plug (20).
- Figure la represents, before crimping, the capsule (2), coated locally, on a part (70) of its skirt (5 '), with an adhesive layer (7), placed on the neck (6) comprising a groove (61) formed between the counter-ring (60) and an annular bead (62).
- the part (70) coated with an adhesive layer comprises the skirt part (50) facing the groove (61).
- FIG. 1b represents the closure means according to the invention, after crimping of the capsule, deformation of the skirt in the groove (61) and bonding of all or part of the constricted ring (51) in the groove (61) thanks to the adhesive layer (7).
- Figure 2 is a partial view of the neck (6).
- Figures 4 and 5 are similar to Figure 1b and correspond to the case where the capsule (1) is respectively a cap (2 ') for sparkling wines, and a closure cap.
- Figures 6a and 6b respectively similar to Figures 2 and 1b, relate to a modality in which the neck (6) does not include an annular bead (62).
- Figure 7 is a schematic view in axial section of the device (8) used to form said tamper-evident closure means.
- said constricted ring (51) may have a total radial deformation corresponding substantially to the profile of said groove (61), said constricted ring being pressed against the bottom of said groove (61), all or part of said constricted ring adhering to said throat.
- the invention aims to obtain, after crimping a capsule on a neck according to the invention, a capsule crimped on the neck and at least partly glued in the throat of the neck, so that the capsule will destroy in the event of a fraudulent attempt to remove the capsule.
- the invention is based on the combination of two means, a first geometric type means, with a groove (61) not accessible except to destroy all or part of the lower part of the capsule, and the other means, complementary to the previous one, aiming so that, preferably, the cohesive energy of the material forming the capsule at the level of said groove is preferably less than the adhesive energy between the capsule and the neck.
- These two means could be used independently of one another according to the invention, in particular the second means could be used in isolation.
- the skirt (5) of said capsule or at least said skirt part (50) can be chosen, in particular in thickness, so that said constricted ring (51) comprises at least one part thinned or weakened (510), so as to reinforce the inviolable nature of said closure means.
- the skirt (5) may include a thinned or weakened part below the constricted ring, so as to weaken the lower part of the skirt still further and to make any fraudulent attempt to separate the capsule from the bottle more evident. .
- said radial deformation can be chosen, in particular in depth, so that said constricted ring (51) comprises a thinned or weakened part (510), so as to reinforce the inviolable nature of said closure means.
- said constricted ring (51) comprises a thinned or weakened part (510), so as to reinforce the inviolable nature of said closure means.
- said neck (6) can comprise, from top to bottom, said counter-ring (60) and at least one annular bead (62), said groove - or said grooves - (61) being constituted by the annular space formed between said counter-ring (60) and said annular bead (62).
- the invention also applies when the neck (&), as illustrated in FIGS. 6a and 6b, does not include an annular bead (62), said groove (61) being defined as the part of the neck, located at below said counter-ring (60) which has a sufficient depth H and / or a sufficient radius of curvature R.
- the radius of curvature R ' is substantially greater than the radius R of FIG. 2, and the groove (61) typically extends over a height H 50 of the order of 2.R'.
- This neck (6 ′) may possibly correspond to a neck of standard manufacture, which is advantageous from a practical point of view.
- said closure means according to the invention can be applied to any type of capsule.
- said capsule (1) can be a stopper capsule (3), typically comprising a plastic stopper insert (30).
- a closure cap (3) can be an aluminum or alloy, tin or alloy capsule.
- said capsule (1) can be an overcap capsule (2).
- This overcapping capsule (2) can be a capsule for still liquids of aluminum or alloys, of tin or alloys, of complex metalloplastic material, of plastic material, crimpable or heat-shrinkable capsule as the case may be.
- said overcapping capsule (2) can be a cap (2 ′) for effervescent liquid under pressure, of aluminum or alloys, of tin or alloys, of complex metalloplastic material, of plastic material, capsule crimpable or heat shrinkable as appropriate.
- the wire cap (22) which dyes the head cap (21) with a simple metal wire.
- Said adhesive layer (70) can form at least one annular or segmented strip of width typically between 3 and 30 mm.
- the capsules (1) according to the invention comprise a single adhesive strip forming said adhesive layer (70), except in Figures 6a and 6b where, in particular for the sake of economy, the capsule (2 ) has two bands, one located at the level of the groove (61), and the other at the level of the lines of weakness (53), so as to reduce to zero the risks of injury to the edge of the capsule after tearing of the removable tongue (54).
- the height H 70 of said adhesive layer (70) corresponds to the height H 50 of the groove, it can form an annular strip of width typically between 5 and
- said capsule (1, 2, 2 ', 3) can typically comprise on its skirt (5) an easy opening means positioned above said skirt part (50), typically between said head (4) and said skirt part (50), said easy opening means comprising at least one weakening line (53).
- the skirt (5) of the capsule of Figure 3d comprises a single weakening line (53), while the skirt (5) of the capsule (2) of Figure 6b comprises two parallel weakening lines which delimit a strip or tear-off tab (54). It is advantageous, as illustrated in these figures, that said easy opening means is covered internally with said adhesive layer, the corresponding inner face of the skirt being covered with an adhesive layer (70), which reduces to zero the risks of injuring yourself when opening the bottle.
- Said adhesive layer (70) is a layer of a varnish or a heat sealable plastic material on said neck (6).
- the skirt (5 ′) of the starting capsule used to form said closure means comprises, as illustrated in FIG. 1a, said adhesive layer (70).
- the adhesive (7) constituting said adhesive layer (7) can be an olefinic copolymer comprising acid groups, for example of the EAA type, copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid.
- said skirt portion (50) forming said constricted ring (51) is spaced from the lower end of said skirt (5) by at least 10 mm, so that any fraudulent attempt to separate from said groove said skirt part (50) forming said constricted ring (51) is accompanied by visible and irreversible deformations of said lower end, which corresponds to a height of capsule under groove H 5 of at least 10 mm, and preferably at least 15mm, as shown in Figure lb.
- Another object of the invention is constituted by a process for manufacturing said closure means according to the invention, in which: a) one supplies said container provided with said neck (6), and said capsule (1, 2, 2 ′, 3), and said capsule is fixed on said neck, by crimping and / or heat-shrinking according to the nature of said capsule, b) said skirt part (50) is deformed so as to press said part against said groove and thus form said constricted ring (51), and to make it adhere to said groove by heat sealing, typically using a rotary dial brought to a temperature sufficient to ensure the sealing of said part on said neck, said wheel having an active edge with a radius of curvature less than or equal to R.
- any heating means making it possible to obtain a high heat-sealing speed compatible with the capping rates.
- the following means blowing of hot air, heating by induction and by HF currents (high frequencies).
- the formation of said constricted ring (51) can be carried out simultaneously with the crimping of said capsule, or possibly prior to the crimping of said capsule.
- closure means as illustrated in FIGS. 1a to 6a, constitute exemplary embodiments.
- Overcapping capsules (2) were produced corresponding to the closure means according to FIGS. 1a, 1b, 6b, and adapted to the two types of necks A and B. These capsules (2) are made of aluminum, with a thickness of skirt included between 50 and 90 ⁇ m in the part (50) opposite the groove (61). The modalities of capsules corresponding to Figures 3a to 3d, and 6b were carried out:
