Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for overcoupling a bottle.
• Such an overcap device is intended to embellish the bottle that is equipped, and may also, under special conditions of implementation, to replace the muselet of a bottle of sparkling wine or beer.
• bottles especially wine, closed by a stopper
• an overcap made of plastic or metal, which covers the end portion of the neck, so as to conceal the end of the bottle. bottle and the cap that is introduced completely.
• a bottle of sparkling wine it is equipped with a wire or a stirrup for retaining the cap in the bottle, which is pushed back by the pressure exerted in the bottle.
• the muselet essentially comprises a plate or capsule, a ring immobilized on the plate or capsule, and which extend legs whose ends are connected by a wire forming a belt which takes place under a ring that includes the neck of the bottle.
• the neck is covered with an aluminum cap, to hide the cap and the muzzle.
• the purpose of the present invention is to propose an overcap device having a new aesthetic, and which, when it is used on a bottle of sparkling wine to replace a muselet, may make it possible to limit the number of manipulations, and in particular of authorize the installation of the cap and the muzzle in one operation.
• the device for overcaping a bottle comprises, on the one hand, a part comprising a dome-shaped part, from which radially and substantially tangently flat tabs extend, so as to give it a general shape in truncated cone, and secondly a belt that connects the free ends of said tabs for crimping on the neck of the bottle, which ends are designed to fasten said belt while allowing it to slide, and it is essentially characterized in that said piece is made of plastic, the free ends of each of said tabs is designed able to receive and maintain said belt, and has a bulge which projects from the inner side of said tab, so as to creating a shoulder adapted to abut under the ring that includes the neck of the bottle, and in that said free ends comprise t each of the outer side a transverse axis groove, intended to allow the passage and maintenance of said belt.
• the flat tabs are dimensioned so as to have a sufficient surface to allow to include on the inside and / or outside, information.
• the edges of the flat tabs are cut so as to give said tabs particular shapes.
• the piece made of plastic material has superiorly a designed light adapted to receive and retain a marking cap.
• the belt is in the form of a ring, intended to be force-fitted onto the plastic part after its positioning on the cap, until it is put into place. in place in the throat.
• the groove is designed so that it can also hold the belt, the fastening being achieved by snapping.
• the belt consists of a round section wire while the groove has a retaining profile, namely that it comprises an inlet of width less than the diameter of said wire.
• the belt consists of a plastic strip, on one side of which protrudes longitudinally a ring of round section, while the groove has a retaining profile, to namely, that it comprises an inlet of width less than the diameter of said rod.
• FIG. 1 shows a schematic view in axial section and exploded of an overcap device according to the invention.
• FIG. 2 and 3 show views in axial section of the same overcap device during two phases of its implementation on the neck of a bottle.
• FIGS 4a and 4b, 5a and 5b, 6a and 6b show different embodiments of a portion of the overcap device, in respectively top views and in axial section.
• FIG. 7 and 8 show schematic views in elevation and in partial section, two different embodiments of another part of the overcap device according to the invention.
• an overcap device 1 essentially comprises a plastic part 2 intended to cap a cap 3, and a belt 4 which can also be made of plastic.
• the part 2 has two parts, an upper part 5 in the form of a dome or cup, and a lower part 6 consisting of flat tabs 60 which extend from the upper part 5 radially and substantially tangentially thereto.
• tabs 60 are of variable size and in dimensions as can be seen, without limitation, in FIGS. 4a and 4b, 5a and 5b, 6a and 6b.
• the free ends of the tabs 60 comprise the bulging inner side 61 having a protruding edge 62 facing the upper part 5, and the outer side a groove 63 of transverse axis.
• the belt 4 is in the form of a ring, intended to be forced on the piece 2, to take
• This embodiment has the advantage of allowing, in an automation, an establishment of the plug 3, the part 2 and the belt 4 in a single operation, in the same vertical movement.
• the tabs 60 can be arranged in different ways, they can thus, not limitatively, be more or less numerous, more or less spaced, more or less long etc.
• the part 2 comprises ten tabs 60 separated two by two by a slot 64 made in the lower part 6, while in FIGS. 5a and 5b, as well as 6a and 6b, the part 2 comprises four widely spaced legs 60, separated in pairs by a light 65 created, in the lower part 6 for the embodiment of FIGS. 6a and 6b, and extending in the upper part 5, for the embodiment of the Figures 5a and 5b.
• the tabs 60 are rectilinear, but they can be of various shapes. Thus they may have peripheral and / or internal cutouts giving them particular shapes, to represent an emblem for example. Similarly, it is possible to use plastics of various colors, which can be advantageously chosen in correspondence with the color of the wine content
• the large width of the tabs 60 provides a surface to include information such as, externally, a mark or a slogan, and, internally, elements of traceability .
• traceability elements may for example consist of a code which the buyer can check for existence on databases, thereby reducing fraud problems.
• the upper part 5 comprises an axial light 50, of shape round, intended to receive a marking cap 51, visible in Figures 1, 2 and 3, and which may also allow the dissemination of information, the identification of the contents of the bottle for example. It can be provided, as is apparent from Figures 1, 2 and 3, that the cap 3 has a top recess 30 for partially housing the cap 51.
• the belt 4 is in the form of a wire 40, which may be of metal or plastic for example, and which is preferably of round section, whereas the groove 63 has a retaining profile. , that is to say that its inlet 66 is of smaller width than the diameter of the wire 40, allowing it to be introduced by snapping.
• the groove 63 has the same characteristics, while the belt 4 consists of a plastic band 41, on one side of which a round section rod 42 protrudes longitudinally intended to cooperate by snapping with the groove 63. In this case, it can be expected to close the belt 4 by welding.
• the belt 4 preferably comprises means for its opening, and the release of the tabs 60, and which may consist, not only in a zone of least resistance and / or scored.
