Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of capsules and more particularly capsules of screw cap intended to close containers or bottles whose ring glassware has a thread.
  • bottles are typically bottles of aperitifs, liqueurs, alcohols, alcoholic beverages, the consumption of which is typically staggered, which requires the ability to close and open, possibly a large number of times said bottles.
  • capsules most often include a tamper-evident or guarantee strip.
  • Some of these capsules are made of plastic, as described in the patent n ° 0107 680 in the name of the plaintiff, and typically intended for capping of plastic water bottles.
  • the preamble of claim 1 is based on this state of the art.
  • closure capsules form an important part of the packaging of liquids and play a significant part in the final appearance, like the conditioned product.
  • the invention aims to satisfy an ever-increasing demand for products which allow a differentiation, a novelty of aesthetics in a field where constraints are numerous and where, given these constraints, the possibilities of modifications are very limited.
  • Said inner part performs all of the so-called technical functions of said capsule, and includes a tamper-evident means, said inner skirt being connected by bridges to a guarantee strip, intended to be retained by the ring of said neck and separated from said skirt during a first opening of said capsule.
  • Said outer part performs all or part of the decoration function of said capsule, and includes a so-called outer skirt, its length being such that it conceals the look, at least before said first opening of said capsule, said inner skirt and said warranty strip, so that the appearance of said warranty can be changed at will capsule without having to modify said technical functions, said warranty strip typically becoming visible after said first opening.
  • Figures 1a to 6b are partial vertical half-sections along the axis (12) of the capsule (1) screwed onto a neck (2) of a bottle.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are cross sections perpendicular to the axis (12) of the capsule (1).
  • Figures 1a and 2a correspond to a first guarantee strip modality, before a first opening in FIG. 1a and after a first opening in FIG. 2a, in which both the internal skirt (31) and the skirt outer (41) have at their end a series of bridges (33, 42) and a strip of warranty (34, 43).
  • the interior warranty strip (34) includes an interior crown (340) and flexible hooking lugs (341) which tend to deviate towards the neck.
  • the external guarantee strip (43) has a rim (430) which passes below the lower end of the interior guarantee strip (34), so that, when opened, the two guarantee strips (34) and (43) fall on the neck and clearly indicate that a first opening has already taken place.
  • Figures 1b and 2b correspond to a second guarantee strip modality, before a first opening in FIG. 1b and after a first opening in FIG. 2b, in which only the inner skirt (31) has a series of bridges (33) and a guarantee strip (34).
  • the outer skirt (41) is long enough to hide the guarantee strip (34) before the first opening, but short enough so that, once the bridges (33) are broken, the guarantee strip becomes visible (in Figure 2b) and clearly indicates that a first opening has already happened.
  • said outer part (4) completely covers said part interior (3) and typically has a cylindrical shape, the head (40) being flat, and the skirt (41) being cylindrical.
  • Figures 3a, 3b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b and 7 relate in particular to variants of said external part (4).
  • Figure 3a the outer part (4) forms a mushroom head.
  • Figure 3b said outer skirt (41) has a profile with two straight segments connected.
  • This outer part can be either molded plastic or stamped metal then assembled to said inner skirt (31).
  • said outer part (4) is limited to an outer skirt (41), which covers said inner skirt (31) entirely in FIG. 5a, and mainly in the Figure 5b, the diameter of said inner part (3) being greater where said skirt outer (41) is absent so that said capsule has a skirt (11) cylindrical with the same radius over its entire height.
  • FIGS 6a and 6b said inner head (30) is partially covered by said head exterior (40).
  • the thickness of the inner head (30) is increased where the outer head (40) is absent to obtain a uniform flat head (10), unlike the case of the Figure 6b.
  • said outer skirt (41) has any non-cylindrical shape.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4e represent portions of inner (31) and outer (41) skirts and illustrate methods of assembling said inner (31) and outer (41) parts to using circular anchoring means (44) formed by cooperation of elements male circulars on one part, with female elements on the other part opposite, so as to eliminate the possibility of a relative movement, in the axial direction, between said inner part (3) and said outer part (4).
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a method of assembling said interior parts (31) and exterior (41) using vertical or axial anchoring means (45) formed by cooperation of axial ribs on the outer surface of said inner skirt (31) with axial grooves on the inner surface of said outer skirt (41), so as to secure in rotation, by mechanical means, said inner parts (3) and exterior (4).
  • Figures 9a and 9b illustrate an assembly method in which the inner skirt (31) has on its outer surface a cylindrical recess (37) in which can to be fitted a skirt (41).
  • Figures 10a and 10b illustrate another method of the invention in which said outer part (4) is itself composite and consists of an assembly of a head (400) and a skirt (410), the material constituting said head (400) and that constituting said skirt (410) can be the same or be different, which further increases the possibilities of creations.
  • FIGS. 11a to 11d illustrate possibilities of decoration by surface treatment located with an aluminum skirt, so as to obtain a color contrast, shiny, roughness, in a word of appearance, between the hatched parts (410) and the bottom (411) not hatched.
  • Figures 12a to 12f are partial axial section views ( Figure 12a) or enlarged (12b to 12f) which illustrate modalities of radial and / or axial compression means intended to increase the tightness:
  • Figure 12a illustrates two modalities of a radial compression means.
  • the compression means forms a stair step with Ea> Er, and the inner head in the form of an annular edge which substantially covers the rim (22) bottleneck.
  • the compression means forms a stair step with Ea neighbor of Er, and the inner head (30) is full.
  • Figure 12d illustrates an example of axial compression using a rib circular (300).
  • a circular rib or retaining flange (312) allows the seal to remain attached to the capsule before use.
  • Figure 12e illustrates an example of an insert ensuring radial compression with a radiated part (311), the insert having no internal head.
  • FIG. 12f illustrates an example of an insert ensuring radial compression with a compression means integral with said inner head (30) and not with said skirt (31).
  • said outer part (4) can comprise a skirt (41), and possibly a head (40), said to be external.
  • skirt of the capsule (1) would partly consist of a portion of said inner skirt (31) and part of a portion of said outer skirt (41), as would be the case with Figure 5b with a shorter outer skirt (41).
  • said outer part (4) may have a straight skirt (41), typically cylindrical, which corresponds to the most common case, but the invention also allows you to create capsules of original shape, with a straight skirt (11) not cylindrical as shown in section in FIG. 7, or with a non-straight skirt, as shown in Figure 3a.
  • a straight skirt (41) typically cylindrical, which corresponds to the most common case, but the invention also allows you to create capsules of original shape, with a straight skirt (11) not cylindrical as shown in section in FIG. 7, or with a non-straight skirt, as shown in Figure 3a.
  • Said outer part (4) can form a surface of revolution, of constant radius or not according to the height considered, as illustrated in Figure 3a.
  • said external part (4) of any external form, is secured to said inner part (3) and for this, said outer part (4) and said inner part (3) use as means of said assembly, an anchoring means, mechanical (44,45) or chemical, typically by bonding.
  • the anchoring means has not been shown, since it consists of bonding, using a layer of adhesive, or heat sealing, all or part of said inner part (3) over all or part of said outer part (4).
  • said inner part (3) can be a PP insert, provided with a thread interior (32), the guarantee strip (34) of which includes hooking lugs (341).
  • a PP insert can be obtained by molding or injection of PP. It is possible to get such a plastic insert as described in European Patent No. 107,680 in the name of Applicant.
  • said external part (4) can be metallic, or internally comprise a metal part, and be fixed to said insert (3), by bonding.
  • said outer part (4) can be made of surface-treated aluminum, typically brushed or anodized, to create a "metallic" appearance or color.
  • said external part (4) can be made of plastic, typically made of polystyrene, and be fixed to said insert by assembly mechanical or by bonding.
  • said outer part (4) in material plastic is metallized.
  • the invention provides a very wide variety of effects decorative.
  • the capsules according to the invention can comprise any type of known guarantee strip in himself.
  • said guarantee strip (34) comprises a crown interior (340) provided with hooking elements (341), typically legs or hooks, turned towards the inside of said capsule, and snapped under said ring (20), so that, during said first opening, the bridges (33) break, said guarantee strip (34) being prevented from moving upward by cooperation said elements (341) with said ring (20). so that said strip of guarantee (34), separated from the rest of the said capsule, ie visible proof of the said first opening.
  • the outer skirt (41) mask said guarantee strip (34), before the first opening. But at the first opening, during which the bridges (33) are broken, the guarantee strip, separated from the rest of the skirt, falls and descends a few millimeters on the neck and becomes made visible, even on a closed bottle, as shown in Figure 2b.
  • said outer skirt (41). just like the inner skirt (31), includes bridges (42) connecting it to a said outer ring (43), said outer ring being blocked upwards by said inner ring (340), typically thanks to a lower rim (430) of said outer crown (43), so that, when said first opening, the crowns exterior (43) and interior (340) are separated from the rest of said capsule.
  • the ring (20) by blocking, during the first unscrewing, the tabs of attachment (341) or any element of a guarantee strip of said interior part (3) fulfilling an equivalent function, causes the bridges to break (33), then possibly that of the bridges (42), and therefore the fall on the neck of the bottle of the guarantee strip - which makes it possible to see, unequivocally, that a first opening has already taken place.
  • the capsules according to the invention can comprise any means of closure known in itself, typically by the use of either a circular lip (36) integral with said inner head, as illustrated in FIG. 3b, or of an attached seal (35) as illustrated in the other figures relating to the capsule (1).
  • the capsules may include, in order to ensure the tightness of the container closed, a gasket (35) of sufficient diameter to cover the
  • a compression means is said to be axial when it is applied to the upper part (220) of the drink, and it is said to be radial in the other cases, when it is applied either on the part radiated (221) either on the vertical part (222) of the rim, as illustrated in the figure 12d.
  • the axial compression means may include a circular rib (300) formed on the inner wall of said inner head (30) intended to compress said seal on the upper part (220) of said drink (22), typically flat, as illustrated in the figure 12d.
  • Said radial compression means may include an annular allowance (310.302) formed on said inner skirt (31) or on said inner head (30), typically at the junction (301) between the inner head (30) and the skirt interior (31), and intended to compress said seal over all or part of the part radiated (221), typically inclined, and / or on the radial part (222), typically vertical, from the drink (22).
  • This additional thickness may be integral with the inner skirt (31), as illustrated in FIGS. 12a to 12e with the reference "310", or integral with the head interior (30), as illustrated in FIG. 12f with the reference "302".
  • said annular allowance (310) may be in the form of an annular staircase placed at the annular angle interior formed at the junction of the interior head (30) and the interior skirt (31).
  • said inner head (30) can comprise an annular edge (38) with a perforated central part, typically in look of the orifice (23) of said neck (2).
  • This variant saves weight and material for the plastic insert (3), in particular in the case of a means of radial compression.
  • This modality makes it possible to decrease the height of the capsule typically from 1 to 2 mm, this which can be very useful in practice, given the constraints of standardization in this area of packaging.
  • a person skilled in the art can adapt the exact shape and dimensions of the insert and the axial and / or radial compression means, for example the thicknesses Ea and Er as illustrated in Figure 12b.
  • he can choose the thickness of said compression means, depending in particular on the thickness Ej of the joint and the space Eo between said neck and said capsule, so that said container is sealed by said capsule, the thickness of the locally compressed joint or the distance E between the end said compression means and said drink then typically being between 0.2 EJ and 0.7 EJ, with Ej typically between 1 and 2.5 mm.
  • Said axial and / or radial compression means can be an integral part of said insert (3) or form an added part.
  • said compression means is an integral part of said insert, as illustrated in Figures 12a to 12f.
  • the capsule according to the invention comprises a means of holding of said added seal, typically a retaining rim (312) integral with said skirt interior (31).
  • caps (4) and the inserts (3) were assembled using an adhesive.
  • Capsules were also produced according to FIGS. 12b and 12e using a seal (35) from the trade.
  • the invention makes it possible to solve the problem posed and opens the way to a very large diversity of capsules, diversity in appearance, but on the other hand these capsules exhibit the same usage behavior in response to constraints encountered.
  • the invention therefore allows individualization, personalization of capsules economically acceptable, thanks to the inventive concept of separation technical and aesthetic functions.
