Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de bouchage rapporté à proximité du sommet d'un contenant à parois souples ou rigides, globalement parallélépipédique, du type « brique ».The present invention relates to a closure assembly reported near the top of a container with flexible or rigid walls, generally parallelepiped, the type "brick".
Les ensembles de bouchage connus de ce type, par example l'ensemble du document
Dans le domaine des bouchons pour brique carton aseptique, pour lait UHT par exemple, la majorité des bouchons garantissent l'inviolabilité et la première ouverture de l'emballage par un opercule ou un voile déchirable.In the field of plugs for aseptic cardboard brick, for UHT milk for example, the majority of the caps guarantee the inviolability and the first opening of the package by a seal or a tear-off veil.
L'enlèvement de cet opercule nécessite de dévisser le bouchon dans un premier temps, puis d'arracher l'opercule ou de déchirer le voile déchirable.The removal of this cap requires unscrewing the cap at first, then tearing the lid or tear the tear-off veil.
Cet opercule est disposé dans ou sur la partie verseuse de la base sur laquelle est vissé le bouchon, qui est rapportée à la partie supérieure de la brique par soudage ultrasons ou par collage.This lid is placed in or on the pouring portion of the base on which the stopper is screwed, which is attached to the top of the brick by ultrasonic welding or gluing.
L'ensemble ainsi constitué est sécurisé finalement par une bande d'inviolabilité.The assembly thus formed is finally secured by a tamper band.
La présence de cet opercule présente donc le premier inconvénient de devoir l'ôter, ce qui implique de la part du consommateur un geste supplémentaire lors du débouchage de la brique.The presence of this operculum therefore has the first disadvantage of having to remove it, which implies on the part of the consumer an extra gesture when unclogging the brick.
De plus, une telle conception implique de la part du fabricant une phase de procédé supplémentaire dans la réalisation de l'ensemble de bouchage, ce qui grève bien entendu le coût du produit.In addition, such a design requires the manufacturer to an additional process phase in the realization of the closure assembly, which of course strike the cost of the product.
Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait que dans certains cas, lorsque l'opercule est situé à l'intérieur de la partie verseuse, cela crée une zone de retrait constituant une source d'accumulation du produit de traitement aseptique de la brique, s'effectuant préalablement à son remplissage, ce qui est néfaste au bon goût du produit, voire à provoquer sa contamination.Another disadvantage lies in the fact that in some cases, when the lid is located inside the pouring part, this creates a withdrawal zone constituting a source of accumulation of the aseptic treatment product of the brick, performing prior to filling, which is detrimental to the good taste of the product, or even to cause its contamination.
Selon une première phase de la démarche inventive, il a été recherché de supprimer tout relief du volume intérieur du contenant, y compris de sa partie verseuse. On homogénéiserait ainsi toutes les parois internes dudit contenant en supprimant l'opercule, ce qui faciliterait l'utilisation du produit et simplifierait le procédé de fabrication et de mise en oeuvre industrielle de l'ensemble de bouchage sur la brique.According to a first phase of the inventive step, it has been sought to remove any relief of the interior volume of the container, including its pouring portion. This would homogenize all the internal walls of said container by removing the seal, which would facilitate the use of the product and simplify the manufacturing process and implementation. industrial work of the capping assembly on the brick.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un ensemble de bouchage rapporté à proximité du sommet d'un contenant à parois souples ou rigides, globalement parallélépipédique, du type « brique », constitué par une base se décomposant en une collerette inférieure formant une ouverture centrale, destinée à être fixée autour d'un orifice de la paroi de la brique, et en une partie verseuse issue de ladite collerette et filetée extérieurement, pour coopérer en vissage avec un bouchon de fermeture formé par une jupe externe filetée intérieurement, se prolongeant à sa partie supérieure par une partie rentrante creuse doublant intérieurement la jupe filetée et constituée par une paroi latérale périphérique, dont l'extrémité supérieure est reliée à l'extrémité supérieure de ladite jupe par une portion de plateau périphérique supérieur, l'extrémité inférieure de ladite paroi se prolongeant pour former au moins une portion de plateau inférieur circulaire plane, dont les dimensions rendent celui-ci apte à coopérer et à se positionner, de manière ajustée en serrage, avec un bord périphérique interne de l'ouverture de la collerette de la base, de manière à agir conjointement en fermeture, de façon étanche lorsque le bouchon est complètement vissé en fermeture.To this end, the invention relates to a closure assembly reported near the top of a container with flexible or rigid walls, generally parallelepipedic, of the "brick" type, consisting of a base decomposing into a lower flange forming a central opening , intended to be fixed around an orifice of the wall of the brick, and a pouring portion issuing from said collar and externally threaded, to cooperate in screwing with a closure plug formed by an internally threaded external skirt, extending to its upper part by a hollow re-entrant portion internally doubling the threaded skirt and constituted by a peripheral side wall, the upper end of which is connected to the upper end of said skirt by an upper peripheral edge portion, the lower end of said wall extending to form at least a flat circular lower platen portion, have the dimensions make it capable of cooperating and positioning, tightly fitting manner, with an inner peripheral edge of the opening of the flange of the base, so as to act together in closing, sealingly when the cap is completely screwed in closing.
L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The invention also relates to the features that will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

L'ensemble de bouchage 1 globalement désigné sur les figures est destiné à être rapporté, par soudage ultrasons ou par collage, à proximité du sommet 2 d'un contenant 3 à parois 4 souples ou rigides, globalement parallélépipédique, du type « brique ».The
Cet ensemble 1 est constitué, de manière connue, par une base 5 se décomposant en une collerette inférieure 6 formant une ouverture centrale 7, destinée à être soudée autour d'un orifice de la paroi 2 de la brique 3, et en une partie verseuse 8 issue de ladite collerette 6 et filetée 9 extérieurement, pour coopérer en vissage avec un bouchon de fermeture 10 formé par une jupe externe 11 filetée 12 intérieurement, se prolongeant à sa partie supérieure par une partie rentrante creuse 13 doublant intérieurement la jupe 11 filetée 12 et constituée par une paroi latérale périphérique 14, dont l'extrémité supérieure 14a est reliée à l'extrémité supérieure 11a de ladite jupe 11 par une portion de plateau périphérique supérieur 15a.This
Selon l'invention, l'extrémité inférieure 14b de ladite paroi 14 se prolonge pour former au moins une portion de plateau inférieur circulaire plane 15b, dont les dimensions rendent celui-ci apte à coopérer et à se positionner, de manière ajustée en serrage, avec le bord périphérique interne 16 de l'ouverture 7 de la collerette 6 de la base 5, de manière à agir conjointement en fermeture, de façon étanche lorsque le bouchon 10 est complètement vissé en fermeture.According to the invention, the
Selon le but recherché, le plateau inférieur 15b de la partie rentrante 13 de bouchon 10 se positionne à l'intérieur du bord périphérique interne 16 de l'ouverture 7 de la collerette 6 de la base 5, lorsque le bouchon 10 est complètement vissé en fermeture, les dimensions et le positionnement relatif des éléments constitutifs de l'ensemble 1 en position de fermeture sont tels que le plan externe « A » du plateau inférieur 15b du bouchon 10 se situe sensiblement dans le même plan « B » que la face externe 6a de la collerette 6 de la base 5, afin d'obtenir un volume interne de la partie verseuse 8 sans relief, nécessaire à un traitement aseptique.According to the desired purpose, the
Selon la variante de réalisation des
Ceci de manière à pouvoir préhender ledit bouchon par un outil et le recentrer avant une opération de soudage par ultrasons sur le contenant.This so as to be able to prehend said plug by a tool and refocus before an ultrasonic welding operation on the container.
La zone centrale concave 5d du bouchon est tronconique.The concave
Pour cela, un outil femelle ayant en son centre une ouverture tronconique vient épouser la forme tronconique mâle créée par le décalage du fond du bouchon, afin de recentrer le bouchon avant l'opération de soudage par ultrasons du bouchon sur la boîte carton.For this, a female tool having in its center a frustoconical opening comes to marry the male frustoconical shape created by the shift of the bottom of the plug, to refocus the plug before the ultrasonic welding operation of the plug on the cardboard box.
Pratiquement, le décalage est d'un millimètre environ, ce qui maintient la caractéristique d'un bouchon dont le plateau inférieur est sensiblement sur le même plan que la face interne de la collerette.Practically, the offset is about one millimeter, which maintains the characteristic of a plug whose lower plate is substantially on the same plane as the inner face of the collar.
De plus, ce décalage est réalisé vers l'intérieur et ne compromet donc pas le traitement aseptique.In addition, this shift is made inward and therefore does not compromise the aseptic treatment.
Comme le montrent bien les
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bord périphérique interne 16 de l'ouverture 7 de la collerette 6 comporte une lèvre d'étanchéité périphérique 19,19b élastiquement déformable, s'étendant au-delà de la face supérieure 20 de la collerette 6, l'extrémité libre 19a de ladite lèvre 19,19b étant d'un diamètre inférieur au diamètre du chanfrein 18 du plateau inférieur 15b du bouchon 10 dans sa partie basse la plus étroite, afin d'obtenir une compression de la lèvre 19,19b de la collerette 6 sur le chanfrein 18 du bouchon, dans sa partie haute, d'où une étanchéité accrue à ce niveau, en position de fermeture.According to another characteristic of the invention, the inner
Selon une variante de réalisation représentée à la
Avantageusement, l'ensemble 1 qui vient d'être décrit est réalisé en deux pièces, le bouchon 10 et la base 5, qui sont obtenues distinctement par moulage d'une matière plastique.Advantageously, the
Les avantages recherchés sont ainsi obtenus, à savoir la facilité de fabrication et de manutention par le consommateur, ainsi qu'une stérilité parfaite du fait que les surfaces planes « A » et « B » du bouchon 10 et de la collerette 6 sont sensiblement dans le même plan et se retrouvent à l'intérieur de la brique, se confondant avec sa surface interne.The desired benefits are thus obtained, namely the ease of manufacture and handling by the consumer, and perfect sterility because the flat surfaces "A" and "B" of the
Afin de sécuriser l'ensemble 1, une bande d'inviolabilité 21 équipe le bouchon 10.In order to secure the
A la première ouverture, s'effectuant par dévissage du bouchon 10, des pontets de retenue de la bande d'inviolabilité 21 sont rompus et ouvrent l'intérieur de la brique, en séparant les parties d'étanchéité en contact du plateau inférieur 15b du bouchon 10 et de la collerette 6 de la base 5.At the first opening, by unscrewing the
