Definitions
- the composite capsule according to the invention comprises a shell, typically metallic and with a substantially cylindrical outer skirt. It comprises at least one insert, said insert being contained in said shell and secured to said shell.
- the insert comprises a head comprising a transverse wall provided with a lower face turned towards the inside of the bottle.
- the insert also comprises an inner skirt which is provided with an internal screw thread intended to cooperate, as soon as it is fastened to the glass ring or only after first opening, with the external screw thread integral with said glass ring.
- the insert also comprises a lower flange protruding from a diameter Dr and located at a distance from said lower face such that the assembly constitutes a housing in which said seal can be inserted and held in place.
- the value of the compression imposed at the end of depression at said axial compression zone depends on the nature of the material chosen for said resilient layer.
- the compression of said axial compression zone corresponds to a decrease in thickness close to half of its value, preferably between one quarter and three quarters of said thickness. .
- the first annular bead has a top located on a diameter D1 greater than the diameter De of the outer wall but smaller than the diameter Dj of the seal. It is also at a distance H1 from the lower face of the head of the insert, which is greater than E / 2. In this way, when fixing the composite capsule on the neck of the bottle, whether it is by screwing or by simple translation (snapping), said first bead necessarily comes into contact with the end edge and causes the downward by imposing a narrowing on the periphery of the joint. If H1 is significantly greater than E / 2, the first bead continues to drive the end edge by plating it to the outer cylindrical wall of the glass ring. Preferably, H1 is between E / 2 and 2E.
- the second bead may act too rapidly with prematurely large axial compression in the vicinity of the axial compression zone and this may increase the risk of damage to the end edge of the bead. joined by excessive stretching. If it is less than E / 8, the axial compression is low, so that the plating of the seal on the rim may not be complete, especially at the outer wall wall.
- these limit values are approximate, they depend on the nature and the mechanical behavior of the resilient layer.
- H 2 will be compared with E / 4.
- the annular beads are attached to the insert in the transition zone between the head and the inner skirt.
- this transition zone is not rectilinear, the notion of vertex can be difficult to define: by convention, it is the point of the internal face of the insert which is at the maximum distance of the theoretical contour of this internal face if it was free of beads, the distance being measured on a line parallel to the bisector of the angle formed between the head and the inner skirt, that is to say, in general, a straight line inclined at 45 ° . If the head and the inner skirt have the same thickness, said theoretical contour is deduced by offset from that of the outer face of the insert.
- said theoretical contour is deduced from that of the external face of the insert by applying at each point of the latter, on the normal passing through this point, a linearly interpolated thickness as a function of the curvilinear abscissa on said contour of the outer face.
- the first annular bead has, above its top, a low slope profile in which the thickness of the bead varies slightly, typically less than 30%, so as to have a contact surface that accompanies the end edge during its annular bending.
- the low slope allows the formation of a progressive shrinkage while avoiding to pinch too abruptly said end edge.
- the contact of the first bead with said seal is over a significant length, of the order of E / 2, in the area corresponding to the low slope profile.
- said first annular bead has a first substantially horizontal wall located at the distance H1 from the lower face of the head of the insert, a second substantially cylindrical wall around the longitudinal axis, extending over a diameter D3. , less than D1 to a level H3 and a third frustoconical wall, extending between the levels H1 and H3 and serving as a transition between the first wall, where it has a diameter D1 at the level H1 and the second wall, where it has a diameter D3 at the level H3.
- this third wall is slightly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis, typically forming an angle of less than 30 °, preferably less than 15 °, with respect to said longitudinal axis and it extends over a height H1-H3 typically greater than E / 4, preferably close to E / 2.
- the cavity separating the first bead and the second bead is delimited by the substantially cylindrical wall of diameter D3 of the first bead which extends between the levels H2 and H3 and the substantially horizontal wall of the second bead. So that the separation between the beads allows an action of the second bead sufficiently offset in time from that of the first bead, H 2 and H 3 will preferably be chosen so that H 3 -H 2 is close to or greater than E / 4.
- the present invention has compared to that described in the patent EP 1 638 853 not only the advantage of better sealing the liquids and gases regardless of the dimensions of the glass ring, the capsule and the desired sealing but also to provide a means acting on the seal more robust, less fragile than a flexible annular tongue.
- the figure 2 illustrates a diametrical half-section of a second embodiment, corresponding to a screwable composite capsule. This is shown after its attachment to the glass ring of the bottle.
- the figure 3 illustrates, in diametrical half-section, the detail of a composite capsule according to the invention in the vicinity of the connection between the head and the insert inner skirt.
- the glass ring comprises in its upper part an outer cylindrical wall (123) of diameter De and a rim (120) comprising a top wall (121) and an outer toric wall (122), of radius R, which serves as a transition between said top wall and said outer cylindrical wall.
- the glass ring is secured to an external screw thread (311).
- an annular rim (101) which is intended to collaborate with the ends (329) of the annular blades (328) of the second insert (32) for fixing the capsule on the neck of the bottle and having an abutment face (104) at a distance Hb from the top wall (121).
- the axial distance between the ends (329) of the annular blades (328) and the underside (23) of the head of the insert is less than (Hb + E). It is typically close to (Hb + E / 2), so that, at the end of depression, said seal is compressed by about 50% in the axial compression zone.
- the first insert (20) is contained in the shell (10) and secured to said shell. It comprises a head provided with a lower face (23), and an inner skirt (21) which is provided with an internal screw thread (22) intended to cooperate with the external thread (311) and which is secured to through the first portion (31) of the second insert (30) of a lower flange (312) projecting from a diameter Dr.
- the composite capsule comprises a seal (40), of outer diameter Dj greater than De and Dr, which has a peripheral portion with an axial compression zone (46), intended to come into contact with the top wall (121). ) and an end edge (47).
- the end edge of the seal overflows here from the top wall (121) of E approximately.
- the outer diameter Dj is greater than the diameter Dr of the lower rim (312) so that once introduced into the capsule to the head of the insert, it remains trapped in the area between said head and said lower rim.
- the diameter Dj is smaller than the internal diameter of the inner skirt of the insert, so that said seal lies undeformed in its housing.
- the first insert (20) comprises at the junction between the lower face (23) and the inner face of the inner skirt (21) a peripheral conformation means (27) associated with an oblique compression means (26) which, when the recess for securing the composite capsule with the glass ring, act on the end edge (47) of the seal before the lower face (23) of the head of the insert exerts an axial compression in the thickness of the axial compression zone (46) of said seal.
- the peripheral conformation means (27) is a first annular bead (270), partially attached to the inner wall of the inner skirt (21) of the insert. It plays a role of capturing, driving and shrinking the end edge (47) of the seal (40). At the end of depression, it exerts a constraint having a small axial component and a strong radial component which plates the seal against the outer cylindrical surface (123) of the upper part of the glass ring.
- the first annular bead (270) has an apex (271) located on a diameter D1 greater than De and less than Dj, substantially equal to De + E, and which is at a distance H1 substantially equal to E of the lower face ( 23).
- the second annular bead (260) has an apex (261) located on a diameter D2 close to De, and which is at a distance H2 close to E / 4 of said lower face.
- the first annular bead (270) has a substantially horizontal wall remote from H1 of the lower face of the head of the insert, a substantially cylindrical wall of diameter D3, with D3 close to D1-E / 4, extending between remote levels respectively of H2 neighboring E / 4 and H3 neighbor of E / 2 of the lower face (23), and a frustoconical coaxial transition wall, extending between the levels H3 and H1 with a linearly evolving diameter of D3 at D1 (from the slope break (273) to the top (271).
- the slope of the bead with respect to the axis, equal to (D1-D3) / 2 (H1-H3) is equal to 25%, which corresponds to about 14 ° of inclination with respect to said axis.
- the composite capsule (1 ') comprises a shell (10') with a cylindrical metal skirt (11 ') and an insert (20') disposed inside said shell, the inner skirt (21 ') of which is provided an internal screw thread (22 ').
- the geometry, the structure, the materials of the various components of this capsule are such that the axial compression zone (46) of the seal (40) is found, at the end of screwing during the fixing of the composite capsule on said glass ring, axially compressed approximately 50% in the axial compression zone (46). Fixing said capsule is completed by crimping the skirt (11 ') of the shell (10') under the counter-ring (103 ').
- the insert (20 ') is contained in the shell (10') and secured to said shell. It comprises a head provided with a lower face (23 '), and an inner skirt (21) which is provided with an internal screw thread (22') intended to cooperate with the external screw thread (130 ') of the glass ring.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne le domaine des capsules et plus spécialement les capsules de bouchage à vis destinées à fermer des récipients, en particulier des bouteilles en verre. Les bouteilles concernées contiennent en particulier des boissons, typiquement des boissons alcoolisées, telles que des vins, des apéritifs, des liqueurs ou des alcools, dont la consommation est typiquement échelonnée, ce qui nécessite de pouvoir fermer et ouvrir lesdites bouteilles, éventuellement un grand nombre de fois. A cet effet, lesdites bouteilles sont munies soit d'une bague de verrerie solidaire d'un filet de vissage externe, soit d'une pièce rapportée (généralement en matière plastique) intégrant le filet de vissage externe.The invention relates to the field of capsules and more particularly screw closure capsules for closing containers, in particular glass bottles. The bottles in question contain in particular drinks, typically alcoholic beverages, such as wines, aperitifs, liqueurs or alcohols, whose consumption is typically staggered, which requires being able to close and open said bottles, possibly a large number of times. For this purpose, said bottles are provided with either a glass ring integral with an external screw thread, or an insert (generally made of plastic material) incorporating the external screw thread.
On connaît déjà un grand nombre de capsules de bouchage. Certaines de ces capsules sont en matière plastique, comme décrit dans le brevet européen
Le brevet
Une telle solution ne paraît pas entièrement satisfaisante dans la mesure où la capsule composite, telle que livrée aux embouteilleurs, impose, après le remplissage du contenu de la bouteille et la mise en place de la capsule sur la bague de verrerie, des opérations supplémentaires, telles que vissage et sertissage, qui nécessitent l'emploi d'outils rotatifs peu aisés à déplacer sur une ligne à cinématique continue, et qui par conséquent diminuent les cadences et enchérissent le procédé d'embouteillage.Such a solution does not seem entirely satisfactory insofar as the composite capsule, as delivered to the bottlers, requires, after filling the contents of the bottle and placing the capsule on the glass ring, additional operations, such as screwing and crimping, which require the use of tools rotary easy to move on a continuous kinematic line, and therefore reduce the rates and bid the bottling process.
Dans sa demande de brevet européen n°
Par ailleurs, il importe que les capsules de bouchage présentent une étanchéité contrôlée. Or le cumul des jeux dimensionnels axiaux liés aux conditions de fabrication de la bague de verrerie et des jeux dimensionnels axiaux liés aux conditions de fabrication des différentes pièces de ladite capsule composite encliquetable fait que lesdites conditions d'étanchéité sont difficiles à satisfaire. Une première amélioration a été proposée en introduisant dans ladite capsule composite un joint d'étanchéité rapporté comprenant une couche résiliente plus épaisse que celle des couches résilientes généralement utilisées auparavant. Si cette augmentation d'épaisseur permet de compenser le cumul des jeux dimensionnels axiaux liés aux contraintes de fabrication respectives de la bague de verrerie et des divers composants de la capsule composite, il subsiste une difficulté pour plaquer parfaitement ledit joint d'étanchéité sur le buvant de la bouteille.Furthermore, it is important that the closure caps have a controlled seal. However, the combination of axial dimensional clearances related to the conditions of manufacture of the glass ring and axial dimensional clearances related to the manufacturing conditions of the different parts of said snap-fitting composite capsule makes the said sealing conditions difficult to meet. A first improvement has been proposed by introducing into said composite capsule an attached seal including a resilient layer thicker than the resilient layers generally used before. If this increase in thickness makes it possible to compensate for the cumulation of axial dimensional clearances related to the respective manufacturing constraints of the glass ring and of the various components of the composite capsule, there remains a difficulty in perfectly pressing said gasket on the water from the bottle.
Dans le brevet
- elle doit d'une part être suffisamment trapue, pour être capable de plaquer la partie périphérique du joint contre la périphérie du col avec un force suffisante, la force à atteindre étant d'autant plus élevée que, de par sa couche résiliente particulièrement épaisse, le joint d'étanchéité, plus rigide, se prête moins favorablement au rétreint résultant de la flexion annulaire imposée par la languette flexible circulaire;
- mais elle doit être également suffisamment élancée pour qu'elle puisse imposer à coup sûr, en fin d'enfoncement, le placage de ladite partie périphérique du joint, quelles que soient les géométries de réalisation de la bague de verrerie et des divers composants de la capsule composite.
- it must firstly be sufficiently squat, to be able to press the peripheral portion of the seal against the periphery of the neck with sufficient force, the force to be achieved is even higher than that, because of its particularly thick resilient layer, the seal, more rigid, lends itself less favorable to the shrinkage resulting from the annular flexion imposed by the circular flexible tongue;
- but it must also be sufficiently slender so that it can surely impose, at the end of depression, the plating of said peripheral part of the joint, whatever the geometries of realization of the glass ring and the various components of the composite capsule.
La demanderesse a donc tenté de trouver une solution alternative à celle proposée dans
Un premier objet selon l'invention est une capsule composite destinée à être fixée sur la bague de verrerie d'une bouteille puis à servir de bouchon vissable et dévissable à volonté pour obturer ou libérer l'orifice de distribution de ladite bouteille,

and being characterized in that: - d) said insert comprises at the junction between said lower face and the inner face of said inner skirt a peripheral shaping means associated with an oblique compression means which, during driving to secure said composite capsule with said ring of glassware, act on said end edge of the seal before the lower face of the head of the insert exerts an axial compression on said axial compression zone of said seal, said peripheral conformation means acting first. on the end edge which it urges in annular bending, said oblique compression means acting second, staggered in time, compressing a portion of the end edge located in the vicinity of said axial compression zone.
Par convention, nous décrirons les différentes parties de la capsule composite en supposant celle-ci placée (ou prête à être placée) sur la bague de verrerie d'une bouteille debout. La capsule composite selon l'invention est décrite ci-dessus dans l'état où elle se trouve avant sa mise en place sur la bague de verrerie de la bouteille, le joint d'étanchéité se trouvant dans un état non comprimé axialement. Après fixation sur ladite bague de verrerie puis première ouverture, une partie de cette capsule composite reste solidaire de la bague de verrerie et une autre partie se présente comme une capsule vissable et dévissable à volonté obturant ou libérant l'orifice de distribution de ladite bouteille.By convention, we will describe the different parts of the composite capsule by supposing it placed (or ready to be placed) on the glass ring of a standing bottle. The composite capsule according to the invention is described above in the state where it is before its introduction on the glass ring of the bottle, the seal being in an uncompressed state axially. After fixing on said glass ring and first opening, a portion of this composite capsule remains integral with the glass ring and another part is like a cap screw and unscrewable at will closing or releasing the dispensing orifice of said bottle.
La bague de verrerie est soit munie d'un filet de vissage externe si elle est destinée à recevoir une capsule composite vissable, soit équipée de moyens de fixation permettant de la solidariser avec un insert muni d'un filet de vissage externe, si elle est destinée à recevoir une capsule composite encliquetable. La partie supérieure de la bague de verrerie est munie d'une paroi transversale, typiquement perpendiculaire à l'axe du col de la bouteille et d'une paroi cylindrique externe substantiellement cylindrique autour dudit axe, lesdites parois étant séparées par une paroi torique externe, dont la section est typiquement délimitée par un quart de cercle de rayon R. Pour une étanchéité particulièrement élevée au niveau du contact entre le joint et le dessus de bague, on peut faire appel à des bagues de verrerie telles que celles illustrées en figure 5 du document GME 30.06 du CETIE (Centre Technique International de l'Embouteillage et du conditionnement), qui présentent le buvant, lequel regroupe la paroi sommitale et la majeure partie de la paroi torique, dont la surface à été spécialement traitée ("surface d'étanchéité") et un "coiffant" qui regroupe le reste de la paroi torique et une surface cylindrique externe relativement courte qui s'étend jusqu'au joint de moule. Pour un tel type de bague, le diamètre De est celui de ladite surface cylindrique externe relativement courte.The glass ring is either provided with an external screw thread if it is intended to receive a screw-on composite capsule, or is equipped with fastening means for securing it to an insert provided with an external screw thread, if it is intended to receive a snap-on composite capsule. The upper part of the glass ring is provided with a transverse wall, typically perpendicular to the axis of the neck of the bottle and a substantially cylindrical outer cylindrical wall around said axis, said walls being separated by an outer ring wall, whose section is typically delimited by a quarter circle of radius R. For a particularly high level of sealing at the contact between the seal and the ring top, it is possible to use glass rings, such as those illustrated in FIG. document GME 30.06 of CETIE (International Technical Center for Bottling and Packaging), which presents the rim, which includes the top wall and most of the toric wall, whose surface has been specially treated ("sealing surface ") and a" styling "which groups together the remainder of the toric wall and a relatively short outer cylindrical surface which extends to the soft seal the. For such a type of ring, the diameter De is that of said relatively short outer cylindrical surface.
La capsule composite selon l'invention comprend une coque, typiquement métallique et avec une jupe extérieure sensiblement cylindrique. Elle comprend au moins un insert, ledit insert étant contenu dans ladite coque et solidarisé à ladite coque. L'insert comprend une tête comprenant une paroi transversale munie d'une face inférieure tournée vers l'intérieur de la bouteille. L'insert comprend également une jupe intérieure qui est dotée d'un filet de vissage interne destiné à coopérer, dès sa fixation sur la bague de verrerie ou seulement après première ouverture, avec le filet de vissage externe solidaire de ladite bague de verrerie. Avantageusement, l'insert comprend également un rebord inférieur faisant saillie sur un diamètre Dr et situé à une distance de ladite face inférieure telle que l'ensemble constitue un logement dans lequel ledit joint d'étanchéité peut être inséré puis maintenu en place.The composite capsule according to the invention comprises a shell, typically metallic and with a substantially cylindrical outer skirt. It comprises at least one insert, said insert being contained in said shell and secured to said shell. The insert comprises a head comprising a transverse wall provided with a lower face turned towards the inside of the bottle. The insert also comprises an inner skirt which is provided with an internal screw thread intended to cooperate, as soon as it is fastened to the glass ring or only after first opening, with the external screw thread integral with said glass ring. Advantageously, the insert also comprises a lower flange protruding from a diameter Dr and located at a distance from said lower face such that the assembly constitutes a housing in which said seal can be inserted and held in place.
La capsule composite comprend également un joint d'étanchéité, typiquement axisymétrique, de diamètre externe Dj, qui présente une partie périphérique comprenant une zone de compression axiale annulaire destinée à entrer en contact avec la paroi sommitale de la bague de la bouteille et une bordure d'extrémité qui déborde de la dite paroi sommitale lorsque ledit joint d'étanchéité est placé coaxialement sur la bague de verrerie. La zone de compression axiale et la bordure d'extrémité comprennent une couche résiliente d'épaisseur E, typiquement comprise entre 1 et 3 mm. Le joint d'étanchéité est typiquement obtenu à partir d'une structure multicouche organique, plastique, métalloplastique ou organo-métalloplastique qui comprend:
- a) au moins une couche externe en une matière thermoplastique adaptée au contact alimentaire et permettant de réaliser un contact étanche avec le buvant,
- b) une couche formant barrière à l'oxygène, typiquement une couche métallique telle que de l'étain ou de l'aluminium, une couche organique telle que le chlorure de polyvinylidène, le polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) ou encore, comme indiqué dans le brevet
EP 1 765 688 B1 - c) une couche résiliente, typiquement une polyoléfine expansée, dont l'épaisseur E, représente la majeure partie de l'épaisseur du joint d'étanchéité, typiquement plus de 90%.
- a) at least one outer layer of a thermoplastic material adapted to the food contact and making it possible to make a tight contact with the rim,
- b) an oxygen barrier layer, typically a metal layer such as tin or aluminum, an organic layer such as polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or, as indicated in FIG.
patent EP an inorganic layer such as SiOx silica, aluminum oxide, carbon or a nanoparticulate dispersion of exfoliated layers of a phyllosilicate clay (montmorillonite, kaolinite, talc, vermiculite, pyrophyllite, etc.) ), said inorganic layer being typically deposited on an organic layer, polyolefin for example, and1 765 688 B1 - c) a resilient layer, typically an expanded polyolefin, whose thickness E, represents the major part of the thickness of the seal, typically more than 90%.
Le diamètre externe Dj est supérieur au diamètre Dr du rebord inférieur de sorte qu'une fois introduit dans la capsule jusqu'à la tête de l'insert, il reste piégé dans la zone comprise entre ladite tête et ledit rebord inférieur de l'insert. Ledit rebord inférieur peut être soit un bourrelet interne spécifique, attaché à la jupe intérieure de l'insert, soit, plus simplement, le haut du filet de vissage interne. De préférence, le diamètre Dj est également inférieur au diamètre interne de la jupe intérieure de l'insert, de telle sorte que ledit joint d'étanchéité réside non déformé dans son logement. L'écart Dj-De est de préférence supérieur ou égal à E de façon à ce que le placage du joint puisse se faire correctement et inférieur à 3E, de façon à ce que la flexion annulaire imposée à la bordure d'extrémité puisse se faire sans formation de plis ou de décollements. De préférence encore, on choisit Dj et De de telle sorte 3E/2 ≤ Dj-De ≤ 5E/2. Dans la modalité préférée présentée en exemple 1, (Dj-De) est voisin de 2E.The outer diameter Dj is greater than the diameter Dr of the lower rim so that once introduced into the capsule to the head of the insert, it remains trapped in the area between said head and said lower rim of the insert . Said lower flange may be either a specific internal bead, attached to the inner skirt of the insert, or, more simply, the top of the internal screw thread. Preferably, the diameter Dj is also smaller than the internal diameter of the inner skirt of the insert, so that said seal lies undeformed in its housing. The difference Dj-De is preferably greater than or equal to E so that the seam of the seal can be done correctly and less than 3E, so that the annular flexion imposed on the end edge can be done without formation of folds or detachments. More preferably, Dj and De are chosen such that 3E / 2 ≤ Dj-De ≤ 5E / 2. In the preferred mode presented in example 1, (Dj-De) is close to 2E.
Lors de la fixation de ladite capsule composite sur la bague de verrerie, la capsule est déplacée en direction du fond de la bouteille puis immobilisée axialement par rapport à la bague de verrerie. Dans le cas d'une capsule composite vissable, telle celle décrite dans
Quel que soit le type de capsule composite choisi, la géométrie, la structure, le ou les matériaux des différents composants de ladite capsule sont tels que ledit joint d'étanchéité se retrouve, en toute fin d'enfoncement, lors la fixation de la capsule composite sur la bague de verrerie, comprimé axialement entre ladite face inférieure de la tête de l'insert et ladite paroi sommitale. Par exemple, pour une capsule encliquetable, la distance axiale entre le sommet des languettes d'encliquetage et la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert est inférieure à la somme de l'épaisseur du joint et de la distance axiale entre la face de butée du bourrelet d'encliquetage de la bague de verrerie et la paroi sommitale du buvant. Il s'agit d'un premier moyen de compression qui agit sur la partie du joint que nous avons appelée "zone de compression axiale". La valeur de la compression imposée en fin d'enfoncement à ladite zone de compression axiale dépend de la nature du matériau choisi pour ladite couche résiliente. Typiquement, avec une couche résiliente en PEE (polyéthylène expansé), la compression de ladite zone de compression axiale correspond à une diminution de l'épaisseur voisine de la moitié de sa valeur, de préférence comprise entre le quart et les trois quarts de ladite épaisseur.Whatever the type of composite capsule chosen, the geometry, the structure, or the material or materials of the various components of said capsule are such that said seal is found, at the very end of depression, during the fixing of the capsule composite on the glass ring, compressed axially between said lower face of the head of the insert and said top wall. For example, for a snap-on capsule, the axial distance between the top of the snap tongues and the underside of the head of the insert is less than the sum of the thickness of the seal and the axial distance between the face of the stop of the snap-fitting bead of the glass ring and the top wall of the rim. It is a first compression means that acts on the part of the joint that we called "axial compression zone". The value of the compression imposed at the end of depression at said axial compression zone depends on the nature of the material chosen for said resilient layer. Typically, with a resilient layer of PEE (expanded polyethylene), the compression of said axial compression zone corresponds to a decrease in thickness close to half of its value, preferably between one quarter and three quarters of said thickness. .
Mais la capsule composite selon l'invention comprend également au moins un moyen de conformation périphérique associé à un moyen de compression oblique, plus proche de l'axe, qui agissent, de façon décalée, sur la bordure d'extrémité du joint d'étanchéité avant ledit premier moyen de compression, c'est-à-dire avant que la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert exerce une compression axiale sur la zone de compression axiale dudit joint d'étanchéité. La demanderesse est en effet partie du constat que la maîtrise de l'étanchéité passe obligatoirement par un contact régulier et intime à la périphérie de la verrerie, c'est-à-dire au niveau de la paroi torique externe et de la paroi cylindrique externe de la partie supérieure de la bague de verrerie. Or ce contact régulier n'est pas suffisamment bien assuré avec le seul premier moyen de compression. Comme déjà suggéré dans
Lors de la fixation de la capsule composite sur la bague de verrerie, que celle-ci soit effectuée par vissage ou par encliquetage, la capsule composite doit suivre un mouvement d'enfoncement qui la rapproche de la bouteille. Au cours de ce mouvement d'enfoncement:
- a) ledit moyen de conformation périphérique arrive en premier en contact avec ledit joint d'étanchéité au niveau de la périphérie de la bordure d'extrémité, l'entraîne dans son mouvement de sorte que la surface de contact s'étend progressivement de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, et impose à ladite bordure d'extrémité une flexion annulaire qui se traduit par une déformation complexe associant rétreint, allongement dans le sens initialement radial, contraction dans le sens circonférentiel et amincissement dans l'épaisseur. La géométrie dudit moyen de conformation est telle que, au cours de l'enfoncement de la capsule, la bordure d'extrémité du joint d'étanchéité finit par se plaquer en fin d'enfoncement sur la surface cylindrique externe de la partie haute de la bague de verrerie.
- b) ledit moyen de compression oblique arrive en second en contact avec ledit joint d'étanchéité, au niveau de la bordure d'extrémité mais à proximité de la zone de compression axiale, alors que la bordure d'extrémité est déjà fléchie annulairement, donc rétreinte. Ce moyen de compression oblique piège cette partie de la bordure d'extrémité qui est proche de la zone de compression axiale et lui impose un "pincement" qui, à ce niveau du joint épais, diminue le risque de déformation instable et de formation de plis et/ou de décollements. L'effort exercé par ce moyen de compression oblique peut compléter la sollicitation en flexion annulaire exercée par le moyen de conformation jusqu'à ce que le joint arrive au contact de la bague de verrerie au "droit" dudit moyen de compression oblique, c'est-à-dire au niveau de la normale à la paroi torique externe passant par ledit moyen de compression oblique. Lorsque le contact est établi, ledit moyen de compression oblique exerce une compression dans l'épaisseur du joint d'étanchéité.
- c) la tête de l'insert, par le biais de sa face inférieure, arrive en dernier lieu au contact du joint d'étanchéité et comprime axialement la zone de compression axiale de ce dernier au niveau de la paroi sommitale.
- a) said peripheral conformation means first comes into contact with said seal at the periphery of the end edge, drives it in its movement so that the contact surface progressively extends from the external to the inside, and imposes on said end edge an annular bending which results in a complex deformation combining narrowing, elongation in the direction initially radial, contraction in the circumferential direction and thinning in the thickness. The geometry of said shaping means is such that, during the sinking of the capsule, the end edge of the seal ends with flatten at the end of depression on the outer cylindrical surface of the upper part of the glass ring.
- b) said oblique compression means comes in second contact with said seal, at the end edge but near the axial compression zone, while the end edge is already flexed annularly, so necking. This oblique compression means traps that part of the end edge which is close to the axial compression zone and imposes on it a "pinch" which, at this level of the thick seal, reduces the risk of unstable deformation and fold formation. and / or detachments. The force exerted by this oblique compression means can complete the annular bending stress exerted by the shaping means until the seal comes into contact with the glass ring at the "right" of said oblique compression means, c ' that is, at the normal to the outer ring wall passing through said oblique compression means. When the contact is established, said oblique compression means compresses the thickness of the seal.
- c) the head of the insert, through its lower face, comes last in contact with the seal and axially compresses the axial compression zone of the latter at the level of the top wall.
Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de conformation périphérique et de compression oblique du joint d'étanchéité qui agissent lors de l'enfoncement de la capsule composite sur la bague de verrerie sont deux bourrelets annulaires séparés l'un de l'autre par une cavité annulaire et situés à la jonction entre la face inférieure et la jupe intérieure de insert. Le premier bourrelet annulaire, attaché partiellement à la paroi interne de la jupe intérieure de l'insert, est le moyen de conformation périphérique. Il assure la capture, l'entraînement et le rétreint de la bordure d'extrémité du joint d'étanchéité. En fin d'enfoncement, il exerce une contrainte ayant une faible composante axiale et une forte composante radiale qui plaque le joint d'étanchéité contre la surface extérieure de la partie haute de la bague de verrerie. Le deuxième bourrelet, moins périphérique que le premier, est le moyen de compression oblique. Il arrive au contact du joint d'étanchéité après le premier bourrelet et exerce sur la partie de la bordure d'extrémité qui est située au voisinage de la zone de compression axiale une contrainte oblique qui plaque ladite partie sur ladite paroi torique externe. La face inférieure de la tête de l'insert joue un rôle final de placage du joint sur le buvant.Advantageously, said means for peripheral conformation and oblique compression of the seal which act during the insertion of the composite capsule on the glass ring are two annular beads separated from one another by an annular cavity and located at the junction between the lower face and the inner insert skirt. The first annular bead, partially attached to the inner wall of the inner skirt of the insert, is the peripheral conformation means. It captures, drives and narrows the end edge of the seal. At the end of depression, it exerts a stress having a small axial component and a strong radial component which plates the seal against the outer surface of the upper part of the glass ring. The second bead, less peripheral than the first, is the means of oblique compression. It comes into contact with the seal after the first bead and exerts on the part of the end edge which is situated in the vicinity of the axial compression zone an oblique stress which plates said part on said outer ring wall. The lower face of the head of the insert plays a final role of plating the seal on the rim.
Avantageusement, les desdits moyens de conformation périphérique et de compression oblique sont respectivement:
- d1) un premier bourrelet annulaire dont le sommet est situé sur un diamètre D1 supérieur à De et inférieur à Dj, typiquement compris entre De+E/2 et De + 2E, de préférence voisin de De+E, et se trouve à une distance H1 de ladite face inférieure, H1 étant supérieure à E/2, typiquement comprise entre E/2 et 2E, de préférence voisine de E;
- d2) un deuxième bourrelet annulaire dont le sommet est situé sur un diamètre D2 compris entre De — 2R et De + 2R, de préférence voisin de De, et se trouve à une distance H2 de ladite face inférieure, H2 étant inférieure à E/2, typiquement comprise entre E/8 et E/2, de préférence voisine de E/4;
- d1) a first annular bead whose apex is situated on a diameter D1 greater than De and less than Dj, typically between De + E / 2 and De + 2E, preferably close to De + E, and is at a distance H1 of said lower face, H1 being greater than E / 2, typically between E / 2 and 2E, preferably close to E;
- d2) a second annular bead whose apex is situated on a diameter D2 between De-2R and De + 2R, preferably close to De, and is at a distance H2 from said lower face, H2 being less than E / 2 typically between E / 8 and E / 2, preferably close to E / 4;
Le premier bourrelet annulaire a un sommet situé sur un diamètre D1 supérieur au diamètre De de la paroi externe mais inférieur au diamètre Dj du joint d'étanchéité. Il se trouve également à une distance H1 de la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert, qui est supérieure à E/2. De la sorte, lors de la fixation de la capsule composite sur le col de la bouteille, que celle-ci se fasse par vissage ou par simple translation (encliquetage), ledit premier bourrelet arrive obligatoirement au contact la bordure d'extrémité et entraîne celle-ci vers le bas en imposant un rétreint à la périphérie du joint. Si H1 est significativement supérieur à E/2, le premier bourrelet continue à entraîner la bordure d'extrémité en plaquant celle-ci sur la paroi cylindrique externe de la bague de verrerie. De préférence, H1 est compris entre E/2 et 2E. S'il est supérieur à 2E, les contraintes nécessaires pour la formation du rétreint de la périphérie du joint deviennent importantes et l'on risque la formation de plis et/ou de décollements qui font perdre toute étanchéité. S'il est notablement inférieur à E/2, le placage contre la paroi extérieure de la bague de verrerie risque d'être incomplet. Bien évidemment, ces valeurs limites sont approximatives, elles dépendent de la nature, de l'épaisseur et du comportement mécanique de la couche résiliente. De préférence, avec une couche résiliente en polyéthylène expansé d'épaisseur typiquement comprise entre 1,5 et 2,5 mm, on visera H1 voisin de E.The first annular bead has a top located on a diameter D1 greater than the diameter De of the outer wall but smaller than the diameter Dj of the seal. It is also at a distance H1 from the lower face of the head of the insert, which is greater than E / 2. In this way, when fixing the composite capsule on the neck of the bottle, whether it is by screwing or by simple translation (snapping), said first bead necessarily comes into contact with the end edge and causes the downward by imposing a narrowing on the periphery of the joint. If H1 is significantly greater than E / 2, the first bead continues to drive the end edge by plating it to the outer cylindrical wall of the glass ring. Preferably, H1 is between E / 2 and 2E. If it is greater than 2E, the stresses necessary for the formation of the narrowing of the periphery of the joint become important and one risks the formation of folds and / or detachments which make lose all tightness. If it is noticeably less than E / 2, the veneer against the outer wall of the glass ring may be incomplete. Of course, these limit values are approximate, they depend on the nature, the thickness and the mechanical behavior of the resilient layer. Preferably, with a resilient layer of expanded polyethylene with a thickness typically of between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, H1 will be aimed at close to E.
Le deuxième bourrelet annulaire est moins périphérique que le premier. Son sommet est situé sur un diamètre D2 voisin du diamètre De de la paroi cylindrique externe de la partie supérieure de la bague de verrerie (du coiffant par exemple), D2 étant typiquement compris entre De-2R et De+2R, où R est le rayon du congé de la paroi torique externe. De préférence, D2 est voisin de De, très légèrement inférieur. Le sommet du deuxième bourrelet se trouve à une distance H2 de la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert, H2 étant une valeur non nulle, typiquement inférieure à E/2. De préférence, H2 est comprise entre E/8 et E/2. Si elle est supérieure à E/2, le deuxième bourrelet risque d'agir trop rapidement avec une compression axiale prématurément importante au voisinage de la zone de compression axiale et ceci peut entraîner une augmentation du risque d'endommagement de la bordure d'extrémité du joint par étirage excessif. Si elle est inférieure à E/8, la compression axiale est faible, de sorte que le placage du joint sur le buvant risque de ne pas être complet, en particulier au niveau de la paroi torique externe. Bien évidemment, ces valeurs limites sont approximatives, elles dépendent de la nature et du comportement mécanique de la couche résiliente. De préférence, avec une couche résiliente en polyéthylène expansé d'épaisseur typiquement comprise entre 1,5 et 2,5 mm, on visera H2 voisin de E/4.The second annular bead is less peripheral than the first. Its top is located on a diameter D2 close to the diameter De of the outer cylindrical wall of the upper part of the glass ring (styling for example), D2 being typically between De-2R and De + 2R, where R is the radius of the leave of the outer ring wall. Preferably, D2 is close to De, very slightly lower. The top of the second bead is at a distance H2 from the lower face of the head of the insert, H2 being a non-zero value, typically less than E / 2. Preferably, H2 is between E / 8 and E / 2. If it is greater than E / 2, the second bead may act too rapidly with prematurely large axial compression in the vicinity of the axial compression zone and this may increase the risk of damage to the end edge of the bead. joined by excessive stretching. If it is less than E / 8, the axial compression is low, so that the plating of the seal on the rim may not be complete, especially at the outer wall wall. Of course, these limit values are approximate, they depend on the nature and the mechanical behavior of the resilient layer. Preferably, with a resilient layer made of expanded polyethylene having a thickness typically of between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, H 2 will be compared with E / 4.
Les bourrelets annulaires sont attachés à l'insert dans la zone de transition entre la tête et la jupe intérieure. Comme cette zone de transition n'est pas rectiligne, la notion de sommet peut être délicate à définir: par convention, il s'agit du point de la face interne de l'insert qui se trouve à la distance maximum du contour théorique de cette face interne si elle était exempte de bourrelets, la distance étant mesurée sur une droite parallèle à la bissectrice de l'angle formé entre la tête et la jupe intérieure, c'est-à-dire, en général, une droite inclinée à 45°. Si la tête et la jupe intérieure ont même épaisseur, ledit contour théorique se déduit par offset de celui de la face externe de l'insert. Si les épaisseurs sont différentes, ledit contour théorique se déduit de celui de la face externe de l'insert en appliquant en chaque point de ce dernier, sur la normale passant par ce point, une épaisseur interpolée linéairement en fonction de l'abscisse curviligne sur ledit contour de la face externe.The annular beads are attached to the insert in the transition zone between the head and the inner skirt. As this transition zone is not rectilinear, the notion of vertex can be difficult to define: by convention, it is the point of the internal face of the insert which is at the maximum distance of the theoretical contour of this internal face if it was free of beads, the distance being measured on a line parallel to the bisector of the angle formed between the head and the inner skirt, that is to say, in general, a straight line inclined at 45 ° . If the head and the inner skirt have the same thickness, said theoretical contour is deduced by offset from that of the outer face of the insert. If the thicknesses are different, said theoretical contour is deduced from that of the external face of the insert by applying at each point of the latter, on the normal passing through this point, a linearly interpolated thickness as a function of the curvilinear abscissa on said contour of the outer face.
Avantageusement, le premier bourrelet annulaire présente, au-dessus de son sommet, un profil à faible pente dans lequel l'épaisseur du bourrelet varie faiblement, typiquement de moins de 30%, de façon à avoir une surface de contact qui accompagne la bordure d'extrémité au cours de sa flexion annulaire. La faible pente permet la formation d'un rétreint progressif tout en évitant de pincer trop brutalement ladite bordure d'extrémité. Avantageusement, le contact du premier bourrelet avec ledit joint d'étanchéité se fait sur une longueur significative, de l'ordre de E/2, dans la zone qui correspond au profil à faible pente.Advantageously, the first annular bead has, above its top, a low slope profile in which the thickness of the bead varies slightly, typically less than 30%, so as to have a contact surface that accompanies the end edge during its annular bending. The low slope allows the formation of a progressive shrinkage while avoiding to pinch too abruptly said end edge. Advantageously, the contact of the first bead with said seal is over a significant length, of the order of E / 2, in the area corresponding to the low slope profile.
De préférence, ledit premier bourrelet annulaire présente une première paroi sensiblement horizontale, située à la distance H1 de la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert, une deuxième paroi sensiblement cylindrique autour de l'axe longitudinal, s'étendant sur un diamètre D3, inférieur à D1 jusqu'à un niveau H3 et une troisième paroi tronconique, s'étendant entre les niveaux H1 et H3 et servant de transition entre la première paroi, où elle présente un diamètre D1 au niveau H1 et la deuxième paroi, où elle présente un diamètre D3 au niveau H3. De préférence, cette troisième paroi est faiblement inclinée par rapport à l'axe longitudinal, faisant typiquement un angle inférieur à 30°, de préférence inférieur à 15°, par rapport audit axe longitudinal et elle s'étend sur une hauteur H1-H3 typiquement supérieure à E/4, de préférence voisine de E/2.Preferably, said first annular bead has a first substantially horizontal wall located at the distance H1 from the lower face of the head of the insert, a second substantially cylindrical wall around the longitudinal axis, extending over a diameter D3. , less than D1 to a level H3 and a third frustoconical wall, extending between the levels H1 and H3 and serving as a transition between the first wall, where it has a diameter D1 at the level H1 and the second wall, where it has a diameter D3 at the level H3. Preferably, this third wall is slightly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis, typically forming an angle of less than 30 °, preferably less than 15 °, with respect to said longitudinal axis and it extends over a height H1-H3 typically greater than E / 4, preferably close to E / 2.
Le deuxième bourrelet annulaire présente une paroi sensiblement horizontale distante de H2 de la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert et une paroi sensiblement cylindrique de diamètre D2, s'étendant entre ladite face inférieure et ladite paroi sensiblement horizontale.The second annular bead has a substantially horizontal wall distant from H2 of the lower face of the head of the insert and a substantially cylindrical wall of diameter D2, extending between said lower face and said substantially horizontal wall.
Les deux bourrelets annulaires sont séparés l'un de l'autre de telle sorte que le premier bourrelet peut agir sur la bordure d'extrémité au cours de la quasi totalité de l'enfoncement de l'insert en direction du fond de la bouteille sans que le deuxième bourrelet ne retienne ledit joint, évitant ainsi d'étirer de façon intempestive ladite bordure d'extrémité du joint.The two annular beads are separated from each other so that the first bead can act on the end edge during most of the insertion of the insert towards the bottom of the bottle without that the second bead retains said seal, thus avoiding unintentionally stretching said end edge of the seal.
La cavité séparant le premier bourrelet et le deuxième bourrelet est délimitée par la paroi sensiblement cylindrique de diamètre D3 du premier bourrelet qui s'étend entre les niveaux H2 et H3 et la paroi sensiblement horizontale du deuxième bourrelet. De façon à ce que la séparation entre les bourrelets permette une action du deuxième bourrelet suffisamment décalée dans le temps de celle du premier bourrelet, on choisira de préférence H2 et H3 de telle sorte que H3-H2 soit voisin de ou supérieur à E/4.The cavity separating the first bead and the second bead is delimited by the substantially cylindrical wall of diameter D3 of the first bead which extends between the levels H2 and H3 and the substantially horizontal wall of the second bead. So that the separation between the beads allows an action of the second bead sufficiently offset in time from that of the first bead, H 2 and H 3 will preferably be chosen so that H 3 -H 2 is close to or greater than E / 4.

- une coque (10) avec une jupe (11) métallique cylindrique munie d'un bourrelet annulaire interne (12);
- un premier insert (20), disposé à l'intérieur de ladite coque, muni d'un filet de vissage intérieur (22),
- un deuxième insert (30) présentant deux portions globalement cylindriques, la première portion (31) étant munie d'un filet de vissage (311) complémentaire de celui dudit premier insert. La deuxième portion est munie de moyens d'immobilisation axiale destinés à coopérer avec le bourrelet annulaire (101) de bague de verrerie. La jupe (11) de la coque (10) comprend un bourrelet annulaire interne (12) qui forme butée au bord inférieur (322) du deuxième insert, de telle sorte que les inserts solidarisés par vissage se trouvent piégés à l'intérieur de ladite coque.
- a shell (10) with a cylindrical metal skirt (11) provided with an inner annular bead (12);
- a first insert (20), disposed inside said shell, provided with an internal screw thread (22),
- a second insert (30) having two generally cylindrical portions, the first portion (31) being provided with a screw thread (311) complementary to that of said first insert. The second portion is provided with axial immobilization means for cooperating with the annular bead (101) of the glass ring. The skirt (11) of the shell (10) comprises an internal annular bead (12) which forms a stop at the lower edge (322) of the second insert, so that the inserts secured by screwing are trapped inside said shell.
La bague de verrerie comprend dans sa partie supérieure une paroi cylindrique externe (123) de diamètre De et un buvant (120) comprenant une paroi sommitale (121) et une paroi torique externe (122), de rayon R, qui sert de transition entre ladite paroi sommitale et ladite paroi cylindrique externe. Par le biais de la première portion (31) du deuxième insert, la bague de verrerie est solidaire d'un filet de vissage externe (311). Elle est également munie d'un bourrelet annulaire (101) d'encliquetage, qui est destiné à collaborer avec les extrémités (329) des lames annulaires (328) du deuxième insert (32) pour la fixation de la capsule sur le col de la bouteille et qui présente une face de butée (104) située à une distance Hb de la paroi sommitale (121). La distance axiale entre les extrémités (329) des lames annulaires (328) et la face inférieure (23) de la tête de l'insert est inférieure à (Hb+E). Elle est typiquement voisine de (Hb+E/2), de sorte que, en fin d'enfoncement, ledit joint d'étanchéité est comprimé de 50% environ dans la zone de compression axiale.The glass ring comprises in its upper part an outer cylindrical wall (123) of diameter De and a rim (120) comprising a top wall (121) and an outer toric wall (122), of radius R, which serves as a transition between said top wall and said outer cylindrical wall. Through the first portion (31) of the second insert, the glass ring is secured to an external screw thread (311). It is also provided with an annular rim (101) which is intended to collaborate with the ends (329) of the annular blades (328) of the second insert (32) for fixing the capsule on the neck of the bottle and having an abutment face (104) at a distance Hb from the top wall (121). The axial distance between the ends (329) of the annular blades (328) and the underside (23) of the head of the insert is less than (Hb + E). It is typically close to (Hb + E / 2), so that, at the end of depression, said seal is compressed by about 50% in the axial compression zone.
Le premier insert (20) est contenu dans la coque (10) et solidarisé à ladite coque. Il comprend une tête munie d'une face inférieure (23), et une jupe intérieure (21) qui est dotée d'un filet de vissage interne (22) destiné à coopérer avec le filet de vissage externe (311) et qui est solidaire, par le biais de la première portion (31) du deuxième insert (30) d'un rebord inférieur (312) faisant saillie sur un diamètre Dr.The first insert (20) is contained in the shell (10) and secured to said shell. It comprises a head provided with a lower face (23), and an inner skirt (21) which is provided with an internal screw thread (22) intended to cooperate with the external thread (311) and which is secured to through the first portion (31) of the second insert (30) of a lower flange (312) projecting from a diameter Dr.
La capsule composite comprend un joint d'étanchéité (40), de diamètre externe Dj supérieur à De et à Dr, qui présente une partie périphérique avec une zone de compression axiale (46), destinée à entrer en contact avec la paroi sommitale (121) et une bordure d'extrémité (47). Le joint d'étanchéité comprend une couche en polyéthylène expansé d'épaisseur E=2,5 mm comprise entre deux films co-extrudés épais de 75 micromètres environ et comprenant une couche de chlorure de polyvinylidène comprise entre deux couches de polyéthylène basse densité. Un tel joint, s'il est bien plaqué sur la partie haute de la bague de verrerie, assure l'étanchéité au liquide et une perméabilité au gaz contrôlée.The composite capsule comprises a seal (40), of outer diameter Dj greater than De and Dr, which has a peripheral portion with an axial compression zone (46), intended to come into contact with the top wall (121). ) and an end edge (47). The seal comprises an expanded polyethylene layer having a thickness E = 2.5 mm between two coextruded films approximately 75 micrometers thick and comprising a layer of polyvinylidene chloride between two layers of low density polyethylene. Such a seal, if it is well plated on the upper part of the glass ring, seals the liquid and a controlled gas permeability.
La bordure d'extrémité du joint déborde ici de la paroi sommitale (121) de E environ. Le diamètre externe Dj est supérieur au diamètre Dr du rebord inférieur (312) de sorte qu'une fois introduit dans la capsule jusqu'à la tête de l'insert, il reste piégé dans la zone comprise entre ladite tête et ledit rebord inférieur. Le diamètre Dj est inférieur au diamètre interne de la jupe intérieure de l'insert, de telle sorte que ledit joint d'étanchéité réside non déformé dans son logement.The end edge of the seal overflows here from the top wall (121) of E approximately. The outer diameter Dj is greater than the diameter Dr of the lower rim (312) so that once introduced into the capsule to the head of the insert, it remains trapped in the area between said head and said lower rim. The diameter Dj is smaller than the internal diameter of the inner skirt of the insert, so that said seal lies undeformed in its housing.
Le premier insert (20) comprend à la jonction entre la face inférieure (23) et la face interne de la jupe intérieure (21) un moyen de conformation périphérique (27) associé à un moyen de compression oblique (26) qui, lors de l'enfoncement en vue de solidariser la capsule composite avec la bague de verrerie, agissent sur la bordure d'extrémité (47) du joint d'étanchéité avant que la face inférieure (23) de la tête de l'insert exerce une compression axiale dans l'épaisseur de la zone de compression axiale (46) dudit joint d'étanchéité.The first insert (20) comprises at the junction between the lower face (23) and the inner face of the inner skirt (21) a peripheral conformation means (27) associated with an oblique compression means (26) which, when the recess for securing the composite capsule with the glass ring, act on the end edge (47) of the seal before the lower face (23) of the head of the insert exerts an axial compression in the thickness of the axial compression zone (46) of said seal.
Le moyen de conformation périphérique (27) est un premier bourrelet annulaire (270), attaché partiellement à la paroi interne de la jupe intérieure (21) de l'insert. Il joue un rôle de capture, d'entraînement et de rétreint de la bordure d'extrémité (47) du joint d'étanchéité (40). En fin d'enfoncement, il exerce une contrainte ayant une faible composante axiale et une forte composante radiale qui plaque le joint d'étanchéité contre la surface cylindrique externe (123) de la partie haute de la bague de verrerie.The peripheral conformation means (27) is a first annular bead (270), partially attached to the inner wall of the inner skirt (21) of the insert. It plays a role of capturing, driving and shrinking the end edge (47) of the seal (40). At the end of depression, it exerts a constraint having a small axial component and a strong radial component which plates the seal against the outer cylindrical surface (123) of the upper part of the glass ring.
Le moyen de compression oblique (26) est un deuxième bourrelet (260) qui arrive au contact du joint d'étanchéité après le premier bourrelet et exerce sur la partie (471) de la bordure d'extrémité (47) qui est située au voisinage de la zone de compression axiale (46) une contrainte oblique qui plaque ladite partie (471) sur la paroi torique externe (122). La face inférieure (23) de la tête de l'insert joue un rôle final de placage du joint sur la paroi sommitale (121).The oblique compression means (26) is a second bead (260) which comes into contact with the seal after the first bead and exerts on the portion (471) of the end edge (47) which is located in the vicinity in the axial compression zone (46) an oblique stress which plates said part (471) on the outer wall (122). The lower face (23) of the head of the insert plays a final role of plating the seal on the top wall (121).
Le premier bourrelet annulaire (270) a un sommet (271) situé sur un diamètre D1 supérieur à De et inférieur à Dj, sensiblement égal à De+E, et qui se trouve à une distance H1 sensiblement égale à E de la face inférieure (23). Le deuxième bourrelet annulaire (260) a un sommet (261) situé sur un diamètre D2 voisin de De, et qui se trouve à une distance H2 voisine de E/4 de ladite face inférieure.The first annular bead (270) has an apex (271) located on a diameter D1 greater than De and less than Dj, substantially equal to De + E, and which is at a distance H1 substantially equal to E of the lower face ( 23). The second annular bead (260) has an apex (261) located on a diameter D2 close to De, and which is at a distance H2 close to E / 4 of said lower face.
Le premier bourrelet annulaire (270) présente une paroi sensiblement horizontale distante de H1 de la face inférieure de la tête de l'insert, une paroi sensiblement cylindrique de diamètre D3, avec D3 voisin de D1-E/4, s'étendant entre les niveaux distants respectivement de H2 voisin de E/4 et H3 voisin de E/2 de la face inférieure (23), et une paroi tronconique coaxiale de transition, s'étendant entre les niveaux H3 et H1 avec un diamètre évoluant de linéairement de D3 à D1 (de la rupture de pente (273) au sommet (271). La pente du bourrelet par rapport à l'axe, égale à (D1-D3)/2(H1-H3) est égale à 25%, ce qui correspond à environ 14° d'inclinaison par rapport audit axe.The first annular bead (270) has a substantially horizontal wall remote from H1 of the lower face of the head of the insert, a substantially cylindrical wall of diameter D3, with D3 close to D1-E / 4, extending between remote levels respectively of H2 neighboring E / 4 and H3 neighbor of E / 2 of the lower face (23), and a frustoconical coaxial transition wall, extending between the levels H3 and H1 with a linearly evolving diameter of D3 at D1 (from the slope break (273) to the top (271). The slope of the bead with respect to the axis, equal to (D1-D3) / 2 (H1-H3) is equal to 25%, which corresponds to about 14 ° of inclination with respect to said axis.
