Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for opening the frangible shutter of a container type drink according to the preamble of the first claim, using a manipulator or manipulator reported reusable then for closing said drink box.
  • the process is particularly interesting in that it brings many advantages in the manufacture and filling of beverage cans, as well as in their handling, storage and diffusion.
  • a method of opening and filling a container of the formed beverage can type a normally metallic cylindrical body on which is crimped by a peripheral crimp hem a cover without grip and pull tab but provided with a frangible shutter which can be torn along a line of least resistance executed for this purpose to provide a partial opening by means of a manipulation, also called a case, which is just built in removably thanks to a capture well coming collaborate with a connecting member fixed by a rivet to the center of said cover to allow the case not only to pivot in the vertical plane by lifting its end close to the peripheral crimp hem around said organ, to leverage and push in the frangible shutter, by the other end provided with this effect of a reinforced leading edge, but still move in the horizontal plane around the same organ to close the opening by being clipped on the hem crimping device.
  • the case that is used for opening and filling of the beverage cans is arranged on the cover in a very simple way; the case is indeed recessed on the connecting member by a simple pressure vertical, said member itself being shaped to lodge in a capture well located in the mass of the case in such a way that the leading edge at the front of said case comes to the frangible shutter right and that the back of the same case either to the right of the hem crimping, to initially constitute the element to break the frangible shutter, and the if necessary, in a second step, the element of filling by horizontal pivoting of the case around the rivet on a 180 ° angle sector.
  • Such containers generally have a body cylindrical usually obtained by stamping a flat blank in mild steel or aluminum, one shrunk 3 being posteriorly made near the upper edge of said body on which a cover 4 is fixed also metallic by perimeter crimping forming a peripheral hem 5 particularly advantageous as it will be said later; the cover 4 is in known manner provided with a frangible shutter 6, which once torn following a line of least resistance executed at this effect, provides an opening 7 of overall shape sectoral, allowing consumption of the beverage contained in the box 2.
  • the cutting of the shutter 6 is generally operated in the prior art by means of a pull tab usually including a grommet gripping, made from a thin sheet by bending adequate.
  • This pull tab is secured to the box 2 by means of a rivet 8 in the center and above the cover 4 in such a way that by lifting said tab, it drives shutter 6 towards the inside of the levered container on rivet 8, before return naturally to a slightly tilted position from its original position.
  • This connecting member 9 comprises essentially a horizontal axis 90 held in position horizontal a little above the upper face of the cover 4 by a deformable connecting piece joining the axis 90 to the cover 4.
  • Axis 90 is such that it is able to collaborate with the case 1 provided for this purpose with a capture well in which is clipped or embedded axis 90 to secure the case 1 to the cover 4, as will be described later.
  • the axis 90 can be mounted on a deformable connecting piece 91, for example a metal identical to that of the cover, as shown in Figure 3 a -left, c ' that is to say on the opposite side of the frangible obturator 6 with respect to the rivet 8, conversely on the same side as shown in FIG.
  • the connecting member 9 consists of a deformable element advantageously made of metal similar to that of the cover 4, having the general shape of an L whose vertical wing 91 of rectangular shape horizontally supports the axis 90 by its longitudinal edge whose length is shorter than that of the axis 90 to create on either side of the wing 91 parts of overhanging axes 93 and 94; the horizontal wing of the element is intended to secure the connecting member 9 to the cover 4 by means of a rivet 8 from which it is derived (FIG. 3 c ) or which passes through it (FIG. 3 a and b ) allowing a rotation of the member centered on the rivet 8.
  • the case 1 in general form of angular sector (without this form is not otherwise mandatory) is preferably obtained by injection of a material plastic inside a mold intended to produce great pace.
  • Each case 1 has one side upper 11 and a lower face 12 intended to come in pressing on the cover 4, the two faces being joined by substantially vertical side walls 13 and 14 capable to form between them a volume to receive organs complementary likely to cooperate closely with the axis 90 and its connection to the cover 4, to form a device for opening and filling frangible shutter 6.
  • a well is provided capture 10 from the underside 12 of the case 1, for extend vertically in the mass of the case symmetrically on either side of its plane of symmetry longitudinal, to form a longitudinal axis receptacle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the case 1 coinciding substantially with a radius of the cover 4; such a well 10 is capable of accommodating freely but with a minimum clearance, the axis 90 which can thus gradually embed in it as you approach the case 1 of the surface of the cover 4 by a vertical translational movement as represented by the arrow A in figure 4.
  • the capture well 10 presents according to a first execution of an entry area 101 whose vertical section in the longitudinal plane of symmetry is advantageously triangular flared down and narrowing vertically to a constriction 15 surmounted by a cavity 102 of circular section capable of receiving the axis 90 of the connecting member 9 when the case is in contact with the cover; it goes without saying that the passage section of the throttle 15 is smaller than the diameter of the axis 90 so as to retain it in the cavity 102, after a forceful passage through the constriction at the time of clipping.
  • the well 10 has an area inlet 101 with parallel vertical walls or advantageously inclined from bottom to top; each wall is provided at the axis 90 attachment line on its connecting piece 91.92 of at least one flexible tab 103.104 extending substantially horizontally towards the other wall where it can, if necessary, lean vertically after being requested from bottom to top by the axis 90 at the time of its penetration into the cavity 102, during assembly; the tongues 103 and 104 are sized to come against the fixing line of axis 90 on its support, and / or under the parts protruding 93.94 from the axis 90 and resting on the wall in look, to constitute as many elements of restraint vertical of the axis 90 in the mass of the case 1.
  • Case 1 further includes at one of its ends, a appendix 16 constituting a reinforced leading edge for act, as will be developed later, on the shutter frangible 6 which tears along a line of lesser resistance to form a definitive opening 7.
  • a the other end of the case 1 means are provided for connection of the case to the crimping hem 5; such means are for example described in the European patent EP-0.558.422 already cited.
  • these means 17 allow in particular to use the hem of crimping 5 of the cover 4 on the box 2 as a rail for circularly guide the case 1 when it is used for filling the opening 7 obtained by rotation said case 1 around the rivet 8 bringing its face lower 12 to the right of the opening 7 to close it; advantageously, the lower face 12 of the case 1 is provided with a bulge 18 whose shape is substantially identical to the general shape of the opening 7 and sufficient thickness to come fit just there and improve filling; of course and as outlined in the European patent, the connecting means 17 cooperating with the crimp hem 5 completes the compression of the bulge zone 18 inside the opening 7.
  • the entrance to capture well 10 is arranged on the underside 12 of the case at one distance from the end comprising the connecting means 17 such as when they are on hem 5, member 9 fits exactly in well 10.
  • this first alternative embodiment of the case 1 firstly provides the function of opening the beverage can, for example delivered with its case 1 factory fitted after filling and crimping the cover 4 on the case 2; the user must then release the connecting means 17 from the hem 5 in order to cause the case 1 in a vertical rotation around the connecting member 9 secured to the center of the cover 4 thanks to the rivet 8.
  • the reinforced edge 16 comes to bear on the frangible shutter 6 which it smashes by leverage on the member 9.
  • case 1 conforms to this second variant is broadly identical to case 1 of the previous variant, except for the connecting part coming to cooperate with the connection 9 and more particularly with the axis 90 integral with the cover 4 by means of a central rivet 8.
  • the case 1 is provided with a capture well 20 arranged perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, but placed substantially in the center of the case 1 between its two ends 16 and 17 serving leading edge 16 respectively to detach the frangible cover 6 and clipping means 17 on the crimp hem 5 as mentioned in the previous variant.
  • the well 20, allowing the vertical embedding of the axis 90 during the approximation from the case 1 to the cover 4, is associated with a channel translation 21 leading to well 20 and extending in a horizontal or inclined plane towards the edge reinforced 16 over a distance such as the axis 90, penetrating in the well 20 and passing through the translation channel 21 by retracting the case towards the hem of crimping in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the cover and along a radial of it, either in abutment front of the translation channel, when the means of rear link 17 are in position to clip on the crimping hem 5.
  • the front end of the translation channel 21 in this variant exactly coincides with the position of the well capture 10 in the first variant, which clearly shows the two half-views of Figure 1.
  • the translation channel 21 ensuring the radial movement of case 1 after mounting on the member 9 must be such that once engaged, the axis 90 does not can no longer escape from said channel and join vertically the case 1 with the cover 4.
  • the depth of the grooves 22 is chosen for just embed the overhanging parts 93 and 94 ( Figures 3) of the axis 90 relative to the part of link 91 of axis 90.
  • the distance separating the two vertical blanks 24 of the channel translation 21 corresponds to the width of said piece of link 91.
  • the capture well 20 can be improved by example by giving it a flared entry going in tapering to a similar longitudinal throttle at the throttle 15 of the well 10, above which opens into the translation channel 21 as described before.
  • the advantage of this execution is to be able to clip the case 1 in the center of the cover 4 before filling and crimping on the box 2, in a single installation operation vertical.
  • the box 2 as shown partially and schematically in Figure 5 is prepared with a cover 4 provided with a frangible shutter 6 (shown in solid lines in all the figures), crimped on the box 2 after filling, which provides a hem peripheral 5 in elevation relative to the face of the cover 4.
  • the case 1 shaped according to the second variant is presented vertically along arrow C on the cover 4 so that the capture well 20 comes in line with the axis 90 horizontally disposed near the center of the cover 4 according to any of the variants detailed in FIGS. 3.
  • the face lower 12 and more specifically the bulge 18 of the case 1 is found resting on the cover 4 of such so that it is fully included in the demarcated area by the peripheral hem 5 in accordance with FIG. 6; at at this instant, the connecting member 9 is fully implanted in the capture well 20 ensuring the maintenance, necessary case on the drink box 2 which can thus be stacked, stored and shipped anyway already known.
  • the case 1 can be mounted on the connecting member 9 before the crimping of the cover 4, that is to say before filling, without interfering however, the subsequent crimping operation.
  • This translation D will have the effect of displacing the axis 90 radially along the translation channel 21, the connecting element 91, 92 of the axis 90 sliding between the two lateral blanks 24 of said translation channel, and the protruding parts 93, 94 of the axis 90 passing through the two lateral grooves 22 emerging, as we have seen at the bottom of the capture well 20 and extending up to l 'before the translation channel 21 which abuts the axis 90 and thus secures the case 1 to the cover 4; the only possible movement is then a rotational movement in the direction of arrow E in FIG.
  • the bottom 23 of the translation channel 21 may have an inclination relative to the flat bottom of the bulge 18.
  • the inclination of the translation channel results from a slope given to the bottom 23 from the capture well 20 towards the center of the cover, that is to say towards the axis 90.
  • the case 1 is translated towards the peripheral hem 5 as indicated by the arrow D in FIG. 7, it gradually undergoes a tightening between its bearing face and the upper face of the cover 4 so that at the time of the filling (FIG. 10) the pressure of the case 1 on the opening 7 is substantially increased, at least when that - it is clipped on hem 5.
