Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurisation matérielle d'une bouteille, notamment d'une bouteille de vin ou spiritueux.The present invention relates to a material security device for a bottle, in particular a bottle of wine or spirits.

On connaît le problème de la fraude concernant le contenu des bouteilles, plus particulièrement le contenu des bouteilles de vin ou spiritueux de forte notoriété.We know the problem of fraud concerning the content of bottles, especially the content of bottles of wine or spirits of high notoriety.

On sait en effet que les bouteilles contenant un grand vin ou un grand spiritueux coûtent très cher. La fraude consiste à réutiliser des bouteilles ayant contenu de tels produits de luxe et à y introduire un vin ou un spiritueux de qualité banale puis à commercialiser de telles bouteilles au prix du luxe.We know that bottles containing a large wine or liquor are very expensive. The fraud is to reuse bottles containing such luxury products and to introduce a wine or spirits of ordinary quality and then market such bottles at the price of luxury.

Pour cela il faut bien sûr conserver le bouchon et la capsule en plus de la bouteille et de l'étiquette.For this you must of course keep the cap and the capsule in addition to the bottle and the label.

La capsule peut en effet être ôtée avec précaution sans être découpée.The capsule can indeed be removed carefully without being cut.

Néanmoins, malgré les difficultés, les grands producteurs ont pu constater ce type de fraude et souhaitent lutter contre celle-ci.Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, the big producers have seen this type of fraud and want to fight against it.

Il existe déjà des moyens pour sécuriser une bouteille en utilisant la traçabilité, moyens qui combinent certains caractères de sécurisation, réalisés par des imprimeries d'état comme des micro-écritures, des mentions invisibles à la lumière naturelle et lisibles uniquement sous un éclairage particulier, des combinaisons de codes à barres sur l'étiquette, sur le bouchon, voire sur la capsule ou encore des liserés métalliques à composition particulière d'alliage ne répondant qu'à une fréquence donnée ou encore des hologrammes de fabrication particulière.There are already ways to secure a bottle by using traceability, means that combine certain security features, made by state printers such as micro-writings, mentions invisible to natural light and readable only under a particular lighting, combinations of bar codes on the label, on the cap, or even on the capsule, or metal borders of particular alloy composition responding only to a given frequency or holograms of particular manufacture.

Dans la demande de brevet français N° 2 817 371 , au nom du même demandeur, on a décrit de tels moyens dont les informations sont réunies dans une base de données dont l'accès est contrôlé par des mots de passe détenus par différentes personnes en sorte qu'aucune personne ne détienne toutes les informations simultanément pour éviter la fraude.In the French patent application No. 2,817,371 on behalf of the same applicant, such means have been described whose information is collected in a database whose access is controlled by passwords held by different persons so that no one holds all the information simultaneously to avoid fraud.

Néanmoins, si ce système est avantageux, il requiert des moyens sophistiqués de lecture des informations au défilé lors de l'embouteillage, des générations de codes aléatoires, des moyens de mémorisation et de recherche quasi-instantanée de chacune des combinaisons relatives à chacun des produits pour identification et authentification et des moyens de gestion des stocks de produits marqués.Nevertheless, if this system is advantageous, it requires sophisticated means of reading information parade during bottling, generations of random codes, storage means and almost instantaneous search of each combination relating to each of the products. for identification and authentication and means for managing the stocks of marked products.

On sait aussi que les bouteilles de vin par exemple lorsqu'elles sont conservées pendant de nombreuses années doivent être reconditionnées afin de remplacer le bouchon notamment ou encore pour contrôler l'évolution de la cuvée correspondante.It is also known that wine bottles, for example when they have been stored for many years, must be reconditioned in order to replace the cork or to control the evolution of the corresponding cuvée.

On connaît également la demande de brevet WO03/038767 qui décrit un dispositif de sécurisation matérielle d'une bouteille de vin ou spiritueux qui prévoit la possibilité de positionner sur une capsule de bouteille elle-même rapportée sur un col de bouteille comportant un bouchon, une surcapsule, portant au moins un signe de sécurisation. Ce document est considéré état de l'art selon l'Article 54(3) CBE.The patent application is also known WO03 / 038767 which describes a material security device for a bottle of wine or spirits which provides the possibility of positioning on a bottle cap itself reported on a bottle neck having a stopper, an overcap, bearing at least one sign of securing. This document is considered a state of the art under Article 54 (3) EPC.

La présente invention consiste en un dispositif adapté permettant de sécuriser matériellement une bouteille. Ce dispositif est simple, peut être mis en place rapidement, y compris sur des bouteilles déjà conditionnées.The present invention consists of a device adapted to physically secure a bottle. This device is simple, can be set up quickly, including on already packaged bottles.

Ce dispositif est décrit en regard du dessin annexé sur lequel les différentes figures représentent un mode de réalisation préférentiel, non limitatif, et plus particulièrement on trouve :

  • figure 1, une vue en perspective d'une bouteille recepant le dispositif de sécurisation matérielle, et
  • figures 2A à 2E, une vue du synoptique de mise en place et d'utilisation.
This device is described with reference to the appended drawing in which the various figures represent a preferred embodiment, not limiting, and more particularly we find:
  • figure 1 a perspective view of a bottle receiving the material security device, and
  • Figures 2A to 2E , a view of the synoptic of setting up and use.

La description qui va suivre est faite en regard d'une bouteille de vin mais trouve une application totalement identique pour des spiritueux.The description that follows is made in relation to a bottle of wine but finds a completely identical application for spirits.

Une bouteille 10 de vin porte une étiquette 12 et elle est obturée par un bouchon 14.A bottle 10 of wine carries a label 12 and is closed by a stopper 14.

Une fois le bouchage effectué, la tête de la bouteille reçoit une capsule 16,Once the closure is completed, the head of the bottle receives a capsule 16,

L'étiquette porte les mentions légales mais aussi les mentions de provenance, la dénomination verbale et/ou figurative. Elle peut déjà comporter des signes de sécurisation tels que ceux indiqués ci-avant.The label bears the legal notices but also the mentions of source, the verbal and / or figurative name. It may already include security signs such as those indicated above.

Le bouchon lui-même peut aussi comporter un code à barres imprimé préalablement mais il est difficile de lui appliquer des signes de sécurisation plus élaborés compte tenu de l'état de surface de ces bouchons et des contraintes mécaniques auxquelles il est soumis.The plug itself may also include a printed bar code beforehand but it is difficult to apply signs of security more elaborate given the surface condition of the plugs and the mechanical stresses to which it is subjected.

La capsule 16 est décorative car elle masque les colorations éventuelles de la face périphérique du bouchon par les traces de vin, vin qui aurait pu suinter et provoquer des moisissures, de façon connue et naturelle dans le domaine du vin.The capsule 16 is decorative because it masks any colorations of the peripheral face of the stopper by traces of wine, wine that could ooze and cause mold, in a known and natural way in the field of wine.

Cette capsule porte aussi éventuellement un rappel de motifs ou de mentions portées par l'étiquette.This capsule also possibly carries a reminder of reasons or mentions carried by the label.

Cette capsule a également un rôle en relation avec les autorités étatiques et plus particulièrement fiscales car elle porte la mention officielle selon laquelle les taxes dues ont été payées.This capsule also has a role in relation with the state authorities and more particularly tax because it bears the official mention that the taxes due have been paid.

Cette capsule porte ainsi la pastille officielle 18 correspondante qui doit être accessible à la vue.This capsule thus carries the corresponding official patch 18 which must be accessible to view.

Le dispositif selon l'invention consiste à prévoir une surcapsule 20 qui vient coiffer la capsule 16.The device according to the invention consists in providing an over-capsule 20 which caps the capsule 16.

Cette surcapsule est particulière car elle est réalisée en un matériau thermo rétractable.This overcap is particular because it is made of a heat-shrinkable material.

Un tel matériau se rétracte sous l'effet d'un souffle chaud généralement et se réticule dans la forme rétractée sans possibilité de réversibilité.Such a material shrinks under the effect of a generally hot breath and reticles in the retracted form without the possibility of reversibility.

Ainsi un tel matériau, plaqué sur une forme, prend exactement le profil de ladite forme.Thus such a material, plated on a shape, takes exactly the profile of said shape.

Le matériau retenu est avantageusement transparent pour permettre de voir la capsule sous la surcapsule et de ne pas perturber esthétiquement la bouteille.The retained material is advantageously transparent to allow to see the capsule under the overcap and not to aesthetically disturb the bottle.

Cette surcapsule comprend au moins un signe 22 de sécurisation.This overcapsule comprises at least one security sign 22.

Ce signe de sécurisation peut être choisi parmi des micro-écritures, des mentions invisibles à la lumière naturelle et lisibles uniquement sous un éclairage particulier, des combinaisons de codes à barres ou encore des liserés métalliques à composition particulière d'alliage ne répondant qu'à une fréquence donnée ou encore des hologrammes de fabrication particulière.This security sign may be chosen from among micro-writings, mentions invisible to natural light and readable only under particular lighting, combinations of bar codes or metal borders of particular alloy composition only responding to a given frequency or holograms of particular manufacture.

Selon le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, ce au moins un signe de sécurisation est positionné en partie inférieure de la surcapsule.According to the particular embodiment shown, this at least one security sign is positioned in the lower part of the overcap.

Il est aussi prévu au moins une première prédécoupe 24 périphérique, circulaire, horizontale ou tircel, permettant de retirer la partie supérieure destructible 26 de la surcapsule en laissant une bague 28 en partie inférieure. C'est sur cette bague 28 que subsiste le signe 22 de sécurisation.It is also provided at least a first circumferential precut 24, circular, horizontal or tircel, for removing the upper destructible 26 of the overcap by leaving a ring 28 at the bottom. It is on this ring 28 that the sign 22 of securing remains.

Ainsi lorsque la partie supérieure destructible 24 est retirée, l'accès à la capsule 16 est possible. La surcapsule peut être découpée et le bouchon retiré comme pour les bouteilles de l'art antérieur, sans surcapsule 20.Thus when the destructible upper portion 24 is removed, access to the capsule 16 is possible. The overcap can be cut and the cap removed as for the bottles of the prior art, without surcapsule 20.

Avantageusement, le signe de sécurisation 22 porté sur la bague est identique à celui qui est porté par l'étiquette. Ainsi le possesseur de la bouteille ou l'acheteur qui souhaite un contrôle complémentaire peut s'assurer de l'identité des deux signes.Advantageously, the security sign 22 worn on the ring is identical to that which is worn by the label. Thus the owner of the bottle or the buyer who wishes additional control can ensure the identity of the two signs.

Dans une variante, on peut aussi prévoir une seconde prédécoupe 30 suivant une génératrice pour assurer un retrait de la bague après contrôle, en vue d'une présentation de la bouteille ouverte, pour consommation de son contenu.In a variant, it is also possible to provide a second pre-cut along a generator to ensure withdrawal of the ring after checking, for presentation of the open bottle, for consumption of its contents.

Pour pouvoir augmenter le contrôle, la partie supérieure destructible 26 peut aussi porter un code barre, soit pour une gestion de stocks ou pour une comparaison avec celui porté par le bouchon par exemple.To be able to increase the control, the destructible upper part 26 can also carry a bar code, either for a stock management or for a comparison with that carried by the cap for example.

Il s'agit là d'une possibilité complémentaire de contrôler la provenance de la bouteilles.This is a complementary possibility to control the origin of the bottles.

Sur les figures 2A à 2E, on a montre la mise en place du dispositif. Ainsi, le goulot de la bouteille équipée de sa capsule reçoit une surcapsule simplement en coiffant la capsule 16 par la surcapsule 20 sur la figure 2A.On the Figures 2A to 2E , we showed the installation of the device. Thus, the neck of the bottle equipped with its capsule receives an over-capsule simply by capping the capsule 16 by the overcap 20 on the Figure 2A .

Un flux d'air chaud est appliqué à l'étape de la figure 2B pour provoquer la rétraction de la surcapsule, phase qui est quasiment instantanée. Bien entendu, ce flux d'une durée extrêmement limitée qui ne perturbe aucunement la qualité du vin contenu.A hot air flow is applied to the stage of the Figure 2B to cause retraction of the overcap, a phase that is almost instantaneous. Of course, this flow of extremely limited duration that does not disturb the quality of the wine content.

La surcapsule vient alors se plaquer sur la capsule en épousant parfaitement la forme.The overcapsule then comes flat on the capsule perfectly marrying the shape.

Sur la figure 2C, la bouteille est équipée de sa surcapsule et laisse apparaître, par transparence l'intégralité des mentions portées par la capsule.On the Figure 2C , the bottle is equipped with its overcapsule and reveals, by transparency all the mentions carried by the capsule.

Le signe de sécurisation 22 est également accessible visuellement.The security sign 22 is also visually accessible.

Lorsque le signe de sécurisation 22 a bien été contrôlé et que le consommateur souhaite ouvrir la bouteille, il peut retirer la partie supérieure 26 en exerçant une action sur le tircel 24 prévu à cet effet et intégré dans la surcapsule en sorte de désolidariser cette partie. Ce fil de faible diamètre qui sert à découper n'est pas visible sur les figures pour la clarté de la représentation.When the security sign 22 has been checked and the consumer wishes to open the bottle, he can remove the upper part 26 by exerting an action on the tircel 24 provided for this purpose and integrated into the overcap in order to separate this part. This small diameter wire used to cut is not visible in the figures for the sake of clarity.

Il subsiste alors la bague 28 en partie inférieure comme indiqué sur la figure 2D.It then remains the ring 28 in the lower part as indicated on the 2D figure .

Si le consommateur souhaite présenter la bouteille sans aucun élément de sécurisation, il lui suffit de retirer la bague 28 comme sur la figure 2E.If the consumer wishes to present the bottle without any securing element, it suffices to remove the ring 28 as on the figure 2E .

On peut constater que des les surcapsules peuvent être placées sur la chaîne d'embouteillage et d'étiquetage ou sur une chaîne de reprise de bouteilles déjà conditionnées.It can be seen that overcapsules can be placed on the bottling and labeling line or on a return line of already packaged bottles.

On note que l'esthétique de l'ensemble n'est pas perturbé et le code de sécurisation permet de s'affranchir de toute apposition frauduleuse de surcapsules par des tiers qui souhaiteraient imiter ce type de protection.It is noted that the aesthetics of the whole is not disturbed and the security code makes it possible to overcome any fraudulent affixing of surcapsules by third parties who wish to imitate this type of protection.
