Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of metal closure caps with plastic insert typically intended for screw-capping the bottles.
- closure capsules with metal shells and with a plastic insert are already known, the metal shell allowing the capsule to be capped by crimping the cap on the threaded glass ring, and the threaded insert providing the opening function. closure of the capsule by screwing - unscrewing of the capsule, as well as the sealing tight closure.
- closure capsules have the required sealing, and in particular a very high degree of watertightness in the case of white wine packaging; on the other hand, it is also important that this seal be obtained without that it requires a high torque of screwing / unscrewing, insofar as it is necessary to be able to unscrew the closure caps by hand, in particular during a first opening, and this, of course, without resorting to any tool,
- the invention aims at the development of a capping capsule that meets this triple objective.
- the screw cap closure intended to cooperate with a neck of a container, typically a bottle for containing an alcoholic beverage such as wine, said neck forming a rim on its upper part and comprising, on its side wall, an external thread and a necking part intended for crimping said capsule, comprises a) an outer shell, typically metallic, typically comprising an outer head and an outer skirt, b) an insert, typically made of plastic material, said insert contained in said shell and secured to said shell, comprising a head and a skirt provided with an internal thread intended to cooperate with the external thread of said neck, and c) a seal forming typically an insert secured to said insert, said seal comprising a central portion and a peripheral portion or border, and is characterized in that said insert comprises a means of radial compression of said seal against said neck, so that, when said closure cap is screwed to said neck, said border is compressed radially between said insert and said neck, and that sealing and the opening torque of said capsule are largely independent of the axial position of said capsule
- the Applicant has developed a capsule in which the reported seal is compressed radially, and she was able to observe check, on industrial capping line, on the one hand, a greater tolerance on the axial position of the capsule relative to the rim was possible, while obtaining the required sealing, and secondly that, not having to compress the joint axially, it was then that the torque screwing -exposure was substantially constant and located in the usual range of values. Furthermore, particularly in view of this greater tolerance, the use of such a capsule has made it possible to increase the capping rates.

- FIG. 2c illustrates in a detailed and enlarged manner, the radial compression (6) of the edge (41) of the joint (4) by the circular tongue (32) of the insert (3) contained in the typically metallic shell (2) .
- the overlap area (60) between the border (41) and the tongue (32 at its radial end (320) is substantially vertical, so that the compression direction (61) is substantially 90 ° with the vertical.
- An insert (3) having a radius of curvature RCi of 2.5 mm was manufactured. This same insert was used to manufacture two capsules (1) differing by the radius of curvature RC of the metal shell (2).
- the shell (2) of Figure 4a had a radius of curvature RCI of 1.5 mm, while the shell (2) of Figure 4b had a radius of curvature RC2 of 2.5 mm.
- a free space (23) was present inside said shell, between said shell and said insert in the case of the shell according to FIG. 4a, whereas the shell FIG. 4b did not have any space ( 23).
- a pourer (7) and a piece (8) acting as temporary support for the pourer have been formed by injection molding PE, and allowing the pourer to be automatically centered with respect to the neck.
- the workpiece (8) was heat sealed to the central portion (40) of the seal (4) which included a lower layer also of PE.
- Said piece (8) is secured to said pourer (7) with a minimal axial force, but typically sufficient for said pourer does not separate from said piece (8) under its own weight, so that said seal (4) and said piece (8) remain integral with said insert (3) during the opening of said capsule, the pourer (7) remaining integral with the neck through the friction forces generated by said fins (72).
- Inserts and capsules have been made such that, after screwing and capping, the radial compression direction (61) is at an angle to the vertical of between 45 ° and 90 °.
- inserts are molded with a plurality of tabs forming hooks (371), able to cooperate with the necking part (53) located below the counter-ring (54) of the neck (5), so that in this case case, there is no crimping of the outer skirt (21) in said narrowed portion (53).
- the capsules (1) obtained were screwed on the necks as illustrated on the left part of FIG. 6, and crimped on the neck, in the case of tests A to E, as illustrated on the right part of FIG.
- the Applicant has observed, as illustrated in Figures 2c, 3a and 3b, that the capsules according to the invention were insensitive, both with regard to the final seal as regards the unscrewing torque , the conditions of screwing and crimping, that is to say capping conditions in general, and they were also insensitive to the height variations capsulated bottles.
- the seal and the opening torque to unscrew the capsule remain substantially constant throughout a production and regardless of the origin of the bottles glass used.
- 75 cm 3 bottles of capacity with a red wine at 12 ° of alcohol are filled under atmospheric pressure and at 20 ° C. so as to have a free volume of 13 cm. 3 above the wine level. After having screwed and crimped the capsules on the bottles, the bottles are gradually heated up and the temperature at which the first leaks appear, taking into account the increase in pressure in the bottle, pressure measured elsewhere.
- the capsules according to the invention have a seal much superior to that of capsules of the state of the art.
- opening torque is in a range of 11 to 13 Lbs / inch, or 1.24 to 1.47 N / m, whereas the capsule according to the state of the art requires a much higher torque: Opening torque at ambient temperature Lbs / inch and in N / m (after passage in an oven at
- the Applicant has observed that the capsules according to the invention allowed to increase by about 10% capping rates without risk of appearing leaks.
- the Applicant has observed that it is possible to obtain a high seal without this requiring a high first opening torque, as with the capsules of the state of the art. Thus, even the elderly are able to unscrew the capsules according to the invention.
- the capsules (1) according to the invention could have an improved "high temperature" sealing with capsules of the type of FIG. 4b in which both said shell and said insert have a radius of curvature. relatively high.
- the capsules according to the invention can thus be used anywhere in the world, whatever the local weather conditions.
