Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved system for retaining a shutter relative to the neck of a container, and it relates more particularly to a system of the type in question in which the closing and opening are effected by a rotation d '' a quarter turn either on the left or on the right.
  • the improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to remedy the drawbacks of known closings and to allow the production of a system for retaining a shutter relative to the neck of a container which allows stable and precise angular positioning. of the cap relative to the container, while ensuring a perfect seal.
  • the restraint system comprises two symmetrical ramps formed in the neck of the container, each of them starting from two diametrically opposite high points at the level of which it is interrupted, while it leads to a low point which is provided with a notched engagement in which two diametrically opposite lugs are provided, provided in the bore of the shutter or cover.
  • FIG. 1 There is shown in perspective in FIG. 1 the upper part of a container such as a bottle 1 provided with a neck 2 relative to which must be engaged a shutter or cover 3 so that it is automatically angularly oriented relative to the bottle.
  • a container such as a bottle 1 provided with a neck 2 relative to which must be engaged a shutter or cover 3 so that it is automatically angularly oriented relative to the bottle.
  • the bottle 1 and the cover 3 are of square cross section and it is desired that the faces of said shutter are exactly in line with those of the bottle 1 once the latter is closed.
  • each groove has the shape of a V.
  • the upper face of each of the grooves constitutes a ramp 7 whose origin 7a is located in an area of the neck whose diameter is identical to that of the bottom of the grooves 4, said area being above the two high points 5.
  • each groove opens at its high points on the horizontal face 2a of the neck, which therefore has in profile two parts in an arc of a circle whose diameter is equal to that of the core corresponding to the bottom of the grooves 4.
  • the bottom of each of the ramps 7 is provided with a notch 8 open towards the bottom, the two considered notches of the two ramps being of course diametrically opposite.
  • the cover 3 has a bore 3a from which two diametrically opposite lugs 9 extend towards the center and whose height is slightly less than the width of the grooves 4.
  • the diameter of the bore 3a is slightly larger than that of the neck 2 so that if the cover overlaps the neck 2, the latter engages freely in the bore 3a until the lugs 9 come to bear against the underside of the grooves 4 at their high points 5
  • the passage of the pins is possible by cutting the neck above the high points 5 of the two grooves as explained above.
  • the pins come to cooperate with the notches 8 in which they engage.
  • This engagement naturally involves a slight upward movement of the cap 3 so that a clearance 11 (fig. 3) appears after closing between it and the face opposite the bottle.
  • the notches 8 and the pins 9 are suitably arranged, the lateral faces corre - sponding the cap and vial will be strictly matched.
  • the notches 8 have a triangular shape and the pins 9 have in cross section a diamond profile so that their engagement in said notches is more pronounced.
  • each groove 4 there are housed in the bottom of each groove 4 at its low point 6 two rounded projections 4a, 4b which determine between them a depression 4c the bottom of which is on a circle corresponding to the bottom of the grooves 4
  • the projections 4a, 4b of the two grooves are of course diametrically opposite one with respect to the other as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the cover 3 for its part is provided with a recess 3b by which the bore 3a opens onto the underside of the cover, and the diameter of which is of course greater than that of this bore.
  • the bottom of the latter is provided as in the first variant of an elastic seal 10 axially compressible.
  • a thick ring 12 made of a rigid elastic material such as polypropylene or an acetal resin.
  • the ring 12 comprises external vertical cords 12a which penetrate by force into complementary grooves formed in the recess 3b in such a way that said ring is immobilized angularly relative to the cover 3.
  • the internal face of the ring 12 comprises two fingers diametrically opposite 12b whose profile in plan is complementary to that of the depressions 4c of the grooves 4 of the neck. Of course, their thickness is equal to the play close to the width of the grooves as is the case for the lugs 9.
  • the operation is as follows: When the cover is engaged around the neck, the recess 3b is relatively distant outside of the side wall of the latter while the ends of the two fingers 12b are distant by a value practically equal to the diameter of the circle passing through the bottom of the grooves 4. So the two fingers engage in the through part of the grooves 4 located above the high points 5 of the grooves.
  • the internal diameter of the ring 12 is provided such that it can engage around the neck, that is to say particularly around the part of the latter in which the ramps are formed 7.
  • the fingers 12b resting on the underside of the grooves 4 at their top point 5, the hood 3 is rotated 90 ° to bring the fingers in question to the bottom of the two grooves. If you turn the shutter clockwise in fig.
  • the rounded ends of the two fingers 12b cooperate with the projections 4a which push the fingers outwards thanks to the fact that the periphery of the ring has flats 12c behind the fingers. Continuing the rotational movement, these fingers fall into the depressions 4c in which they engage elastically due to the nature of the material constituting the ring 12.
  • angular orientation of the shutter 3 and that of the bottle 1 correspond very exactly.
  • the cover at the time of engagement it is practically possible to remove the clearance 11 or at least reduce it to a value such as the distance between the shutter and the bottle is not visible to the naked eye.
  • the ring 12 must be held firmly in the axial direction.
  • One solution would be to stick it against the shoulder 3c. It could also be engaged in the manner of a circlip in a groove formed in the recess 3b at the shoulder 3c.
  • the seal 10 is compressed by the axial displacement of the cover, so that the seal is perfect at the end of the plugging.
  • the closing and opening of the bottle is effected by imparting a rotational movement, a quarter turn in one direction or the other to the cover, either to close the bottle. , or to open it, so that even left-handed people can easily replace the cover in its desired angular orientation.
  • the quality of the plugging could be improved by providing that the ring 12 has two horizontal slots 12d located above and below each finger 12b so that it has elasticity in the vertical direction.
  • the clearances due to variations in the dimensions of the neck could be compensated automatically (FIG. 7).
