Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cap for capping a container and in particular a container with a neck fitted a hanging flange.
- capsules produced by injection molding consist of a cover extended by a side skirt.
- This skirt is provided, in its lower part, with snap-on means under said collar and, in its upper part, a tamper-evident band removable.
- these capsules generally have an organ in projection forming a gripping means which is produced by molding a single piece with cover and skirt.
- the removable tamper-evident tape is itself provided with a projecting tab allowing it to be taken, with a view to tearing.
- these two protruding elements constitute zones hooking the capsules together, which poses problems obstruction, in particular, when these capsules are grouped together in rotary bowl dispensers located on bottling lines automatic.
- protruding elements make the process of manufacture of the complex capsule, insofar as the operations mold extraction are difficult.
- the object of the present invention is to solve these problems technique satisfactorily.
- a capsule for sealing a flange container hanging system consisting of a cover surmounting a side skirt which is provided, in its lower part, with snap-on means under said collar and, in its upper part, of a tamper-evident band removable, characterized in that said tamper-evident band carries a tongue of which at least part is free and the internal face of which is provided with a boss intended to come to bear on said collar for cause, when latching, the pivoting of said tab towards the exterior thereby forming a means for gripping said strip.
- said tongue is made at one end of the tamper-evident band.
- said strip is not produced only on a portion of the periphery of the skirt while sparing on the additional portion a hinge.
- said latching means of the skirt under the collar consist of an internal projection partially peripheral.
- said tongue is housed in a corresponding cut in the side skirt.
- the lower edge of said skirt abuts against a lower shoulder of the container neck.
- the capsule also comprises a cylindrical sleeve integral with the underside of said cover and intended to be introduced inside the container in tight contact with its upper internal wall.
- said side skirt is attached to the cover plumb with its peripheral edge so as to define, before snapping onto the container, a cylindrical envelope.
- the external face of said tongue has a profile recessed relative to the outer face of the skirt.
- the external face of said tongue is a portion of cylinder coplanar with the skirt.
- said internal boss of the tongue has a profile formed of at least two facets.
- edge cover device is provided, in the diametrically zone opposite the hinge, a cutout.
- the capsule of the invention offers a perfectly enveloped cylindrical, which considerably simplifies its method of manufacturing by molding and improves its aesthetic appearance.
- this capsule In the free state, this capsule has no protruding elements and the means for gripping the tamper-evident band are formed only by elastic deformation and only on installation, of a flat or hollow element which therefore does not interfere with extraction operations of the mold.
- the area left vacant then serves as a means of gripping the cover of the capsule.
- the capsule of the invention is intended to ensure plugging sealed container whose upper part or neck is provided with a hanging flange.
- This capsule is preferably produced by injection molding of an elastically deformable plastic at least in part.
- the capsule embodiment shown in Figure 1 is consisting of a cover 1 surmounting a side skirt 2 which is provided in its lower part with latching means under the flange C of container R (see Figure 2).
- the skirt 2 is, moreover, provided, in its upper part, with a removable tamper-evident band 12.
- the skirt 2 is attached to the cover 1 directly above its edge device 1a.
- the tamper-evident band 12 provides the removable connection between the cover 1 and the skirt 2.
- the strip 12 is attached by a film fragile device 20 liable to be broken or torn apart cover 1 and skirt 2.
- the tamper-evident band 12 carries a tongue 22 which extends downwards and at least part of which, and here the lower part, is free, that is to say without film 20.
- the tongue 22 is produced at one of the ends of the strip 12 and is housed at rest in a coplanar manner with the skirt 2 and the strip 12 in a corresponding cut 2a so as to define, before snap-fastening on the container R, an envelope substantially cylindrical.
- the strip 12 is produced only over a portion of the periphery of the side skirt 2 by providing on the complementary portion a hinge 21.
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the embodiment in Figure 1 at the start of installation on container R.
- the capsule further comprises a cylindrical sleeve 10, secured to the underside of the cover 1.
- This sleeve 10 is intended to be inserted inside the upper part or the neck of the container R, in tight contact with its internal wall (see FIG. 3).
- the latching means of the skirt 2 are not yet locked under the flange C of the container R.
- These means consist of an internal projection 23 partially device which is, in this position, pressing on the flange C.
- the tamper-evident band 12 and its tongue 22 are attached to the underside of cover 1 at a distance from its peripheral edge 1a which corresponds substantially to the thickness of their external parts in projection, to obtain a substantially cylindrical envelope.
- the external face of the tongue 22 is here produced in the form of a portion of cylinder.
- the lower and upper edges of the strip 12 and the tongue 22 are preferably bevelled.
- the internal face of the tongue 22 of the tamper-evident band 12 is provided with a boss 22a.
- the boss 22a is located on the skirt 2 substantially at the same height than the internal projection 23, so that in the position shown in Figure 2, it is, like it, resting on the flange C.
- the boss 22a has a profile with at least two and preferably three flat facets.
- the upper facet 220 and the lower facet 221 are inclined at an angle between 20o and 40o to the axis vertical of the boss.
- the central facet 222 is in turn parallel to this axis.
- the upper facet 220 is tilted in order to facilitate ejection of the mold during the manufacture of the capsule.
- the latching phase of the internal projection 23 begins with the support of the lower facet 221 on the flange C, followed by the sliding of this inclined facet on said flange.
- Figure 3 shows the same embodiment of the capsule after snapping into its final position.
- the geometry of the boss 22 is determined as a function of that of the flange C to obtain the amplitude of the desired pivoting.
- the snap-in therefore automatically puts the tongue 22 projecting from the plane of the side skirt 2, and to offer thus a means of gripping the tamper-evident band 12.
- the lower edge 2b of the side skirt 2 is in abutment against a lower shoulder T of the neck of the container R.
- FIG. 4 still represents the same embodiment of the capsule after removal of the tamper-evident strip 12 and its tab 22 by tearing and trimming the film 20.
- the hinge 21 is formed, at least in part, by a zone thinned 21a from the wall of the skirt 2 situated above the projection 23.
- the elastically deformable nature of the material of the capsule allows the opening of the cover 1 by bending the hinge 21.
- Figure 5 shows the same embodiment of the capsule while opening the cover 1.
- the user lifts the cover 1, for example by entering its peripheral edge la by the cut 2a.
- the container R is opened by pivoting the cover 1 up around an axis passing through the hinge 21 in driving the sleeve 10.
- the sleeve 10 is gradually released by sliding and, if necessary if necessary, by elastically deforming in contact with the internal wall of the container neck.
- Figure 6 shows another embodiment of the capsule of the invention in which the external face of the tongue 22 has a profile hollow which is complementary to the three-faceted profile of boss 22a.
- Figures 7a and 7b show an alternative embodiment in the position of figure 4, i.e. after removing the strip inviolability.
- peripheral edge 1a of the cover 1 is provided with a cutout 11.
- This cut which is preferably made in the area diametrically opposite the hinge 21, provides a means of additional grip of the cover 1.
- the upper face of the cover 1 has an arrow F indicating the location of the cutout 11 at consumer.
