- the bottom of the bottle 1 is opposite the neck 11.
- the bottom surfaces of the flange 13 are marked 132 and 134 respectively, which are oriented opposite the bottom 14 and towards the bottom. In other words, the surfaces 132 and 134 respectively constitute the lower and upper surfaces of the flange 13 when the bottle 1 rests by its bottom 14 on a flat and horizontal surface.
- a pipette 200 is introduced into it, through its neck 11, as shown in FIG. figure 4 .
- the device 20 comprises an elastomeric stopper 21 of a shape adapted to be partially introduced into the neck 11, while resting on the face 132 of the flange 13.
- the cap 21 is in one piece and comprises a disk-shaped plate 211 intended to rest on the surface 132 and a hollow rod 212 intended to penetrate into the neck 11. Once in place on the neck 12, the cap 21 isolates the contents of the bottle 1 from the outside.

Description
L'invention a trait à un dispositif de bouchage pour un récipient, ce dispositif comprenant un bouchon de forme circulaire prévu pour obturer le col du récipient, ainsi qu'une coiffe. L'invention a également trait à un récipient, par exemple un flacon pour médicament, équipé d'un tel dispositif de bouchage.The invention relates to a closure device for a container, this device comprising a circular-shaped plug for closing the neck of the container, and a cap. The invention also relates to a container, for example a medicine bottle, equipped with such a closure device.
Dans le domaine des récipients pour médicaments, il est connu d'utiliser un flacon en verre pour conserver un principe actif sous forme de lyophilisat, de poudre ou de solution liquide. Un tel flacon doit être obturé de façon étanche afin de maintenir son contenu dans un état de conservation satisfaisant, jusqu'à sa date d'utilisation. Pour fermer hermétiquement un tel flacon, il est connu d'utiliser un dispositif de bouchage qui comprend un bouchon en élastomère de forme cylindrique prévu pour obturer le col du flacon. La fonction de ce bouchon est d'assurer une étanchéité la plus totale possible aux gaz, aux liquides et aux bactéries. Il est connu d'associer un tel bouchon avec une capsule métallique à opercule. L'ouverture du récipient a lieu en déchirant la capsule métallique par une traction sur l'opercule. Ceci peut s'avérer problématique dans la mesure où la capsule métallique, le plus souvent en aluminium, risque de se rompre, ce qui impose de devoir la retirer à la main d'où un risque de coupure et, le plus souvent, le recours à un petit outil de démontage.In the field of medication containers, it is known to use a glass vial to store an active ingredient in the form of lyophilisate, powder or liquid solution. Such a bottle must be sealed in order to maintain its contents in a satisfactory state of preservation, until its date of use. To seal such a bottle, it is known to use a closure device which comprises a cylindrical elastomeric plug designed to close the neck of the bottle. The purpose of this cap is to ensure the most complete seal possible to gases, liquids and bacteria. It is known to associate such a cap with a metal cap operculum. The opening of the container takes place by tearing the metal cap by pulling on the lid. This can be problematic in that the metal capsule, usually aluminum, may break, which requires the need to remove the hand where a risk of cutting and, in most cases, recourse to a small disassembly tool.

Il est par ailleurs connu de
C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un nouveau dispositif de bouchage qui est particulièrement simple et intuitif à mettre en oeuvre et qui permet, entre autres, un retrait total du bouchon pour un accès aisé au contenu d'un récipient.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new closure device which is particularly simple and intuitive to implement and which allows, among other things, a total withdrawal of the plug for easy access to the contents. of a container.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de bouchage pour un récipient, ce dispositif de bouchage comprenant un bouchon de forme circulaire prévu pour obturer le col du récipient ainsi qu'une coiffe en matériau synthétique apte à recouvrir à la fois le col et le bouchon en place dans ce col, cette coiffe comprenant une bague apte à entourer le bouchon et le col en configuration montée et qui est pourvue de moyens de verrouillage sur le col, ainsi qu'un couvercle. La bague et le couvercle sont réalisés dans une seule pièce monobloc et reliés par des pontets sécables. Ce dispositif de bouchage est caractérisé en ce que la bague a un diamètre interne minimal strictement supérieur au diamètre maximal du bouchon, en ce que la circonférence de la bague sur laquelle sont répartis les pontets sécables a un diamètre interne de valeur strictement supérieure au diamètre maximal du bouchon et en ce que les moyens de verrouillage de la bague sur le col comprennent des premières pattes de verrouillage ménagées sur l'intérieur de la bague en regard de fenêtres ouvertes radialement sur l'extérieur de la bague, ainsi que des deuxièmes pattes de verrouillage ménagées sur l'intérieur de la bague en regard d'un partie fermée de la bague, alors que chaque deuxième patte de verrouillage est ménagée, sur la circonférence de la bague, entre deux premières pattes de verrouillage, en regard d'une bande de matière qui sépare des fenêtres en regard desquelles sont ménagées les premières pattes de verrouillage.To this end, the invention relates to a closure device for a container, the closure device comprising a circular shaped plug designed to seal the neck of the container and a cap of synthetic material capable of covering both the neck and the cap in place in this collar, this cap comprising a ring adapted to surround the cap and the neck in mounted configuration and which is provided with locking means on the neck, and a cover. The ring and the cover are made in a single piece and connected by breakable bridges. This closure device is characterized in that the ring has a minimum internal diameter strictly greater than the maximum diameter of the plug, in that the circumference of the ring on which the breakable bridges are distributed has an internal diameter of value strictly greater than the maximum diameter. of the stopper and in that the locking means of the ring on the neck comprise first locking tabs formed on the inside of the ring facing radially open windows on the outside of the ring, as well as second legs of locking formed on the inside of the ring facing a closed portion of the ring, while each second locking tab is formed, on the circumference of the ring, between two first locking tabs, facing a band of material that separates windows facing which are formed the first locking tabs.
Grâce à l'invention, lorsqu'elle est en place sur le col d'un récipient, la coiffe protège, notamment par son couvercle, le bouchon contre une agression extérieure, en particulier contre tout risque de retrait intempestif. Lorsqu'il convient d'accéder au contenu du récipient, il suffit de rompre les pontets pour accéder au bouchon, lequel peut être aisément retiré puisque la coiffe ne gêne pas l'accès à sa périphérie, une fois le couvercle séparé de la bague. Cette rupture des pontets étant irréversible, elle est facilement détectable et signale toute intervention potentielle sur le contenu du récipient. Par ailleurs, la structure des moyens de verrouillage assure une immobilisation fiable et pérenne de la coiffe sur le col d'un récipient, tout en étant compatible avec la liaison du couvercle avec la bague par les pontets sécables.Thanks to the invention, when it is in place on the neck of a container, the cap protects, particularly by its cover, the cap against external aggression, especially against any risk of inadvertent withdrawal. When it is necessary to access the contents of the container, it is sufficient to break the bridges to access the cap, which can be easily removed since the cap does not interfere with access to its periphery, once the lid separated from the ring. This rupture of the bridges being irreversible, it is easily detectable and signals any potential intervention on the contents of the container. Furthermore, the structure of the locking means ensures a reliable and durable immobilization of the cap on the neck of a container, while being compatible with the connection of the lid with the ring by the breakable bridges.
Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, un tel dispositif de bouchage peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes prises dans toute combinaison techniquement admissible :
- Le rapport de la valeur du diamètre interne minimal de la bague sur la valeur du diamètre maximal du bouchon est compris entre 1,01 et 1,05, de préférence entre 1,02 et 1,04, alors que le diamètre interne de la circonférence des pontets est égal au diamètre interne minimal de la bague.
- La valeur du diamètre interne de la circonférence des pontets est supérieure ou égale à la valeur du diamètre interne minimal de la bague.
- Chaque pontet a une zone de rupture privilégiée qui est plus proche de la zone d'attache du pontet sur la bague que de la zone d'attache du pontet sur le couvercle.
- Chaque pontet est en forme de trapèze avec sa plus petite base au niveau d'un bord d'une jupe de la bague.
- Chaque pontet est configuré pour être rompu par un effort de cisaillement résultant de la mise en rotation, autour d'un axe central du dispositif, du couvercle par rapport à la bague ou par un effort de traction lors d'un basculement du couvercle par rapport à la bague.
- Une fois en place sur le col du récipient, la bague est indémontable, à moins de la détruire au moins en partie.
- Les moyens de verrouillage sont ménagés dans deux secteurs angulaires disjoints de la bague.
- Les secteurs angulaires disjoints sont alignés, chacun selon une direction parallèle à un axe central du dispositif, avec une fenêtre ménagée dans une paroi d'extrémité du couvercle, le long d'une surface radiale interne d'une jupe externe du couvercle.
- La bague est pourvue d'une marque d'identification. Dans ce cas, la marque d'identification est, de préférence, apposée sur une surface radiale externe de la bague, entre les deux secteurs angulaires disjoints dans lesquels sont ménagés les moyens de verrouillage. La marque d'identification est située à distance des fenêtres ouvertes.
- Lorsque la bague et le bouchon sont en place sur le col du récipient dans une configuration où le bouchon obture le col et où la bague entoure le col et le bouchon, la surface du bouchon opposée au col s'étend au-delà d'une surface du col opposée au fond du récipient, sur une distance supérieure à la distance selon laquelle la bague s'étend au-delà de la surface précitée du col. En d'autres termes, le bouchon dépasse plus que la bague au dessus du col, ce qui facilite l'accès à ce bouchon lorsqu'on vient de le retirer, alors que la bague reste en place autour du col.
- The ratio of the value of the minimum inner diameter of the ring to the value of the maximum diameter of the plug is between 1.01 and 1.05, preferably between 1.02 and 1.04, while the internal diameter of the circumference bridges is equal to the minimum internal diameter of the ring.
- The value of the inner diameter of the circumference of the bridges is greater than or equal to the value of the minimum internal diameter of the ring.
- Each bridge has a preferred break zone that is closer to the attachment area of the bridge on the ring than the attachment area of the bridge on the cover.
- Each bridge is trapezoidal with its smaller base at an edge of a skirt of the ring.
- Each bridge is configured to be broken by a shear force resulting from the rotation around a central axis of the device, the cover relative to the ring or by a tensile force during a tilting of the lid relative to to the ring.
- Once in place on the neck of the container, the ring is indémontable, unless destroy at least in part.
- The locking means are formed in two disjointed angular sectors of the ring.
- The disjointed angular sectors are aligned, each in a direction parallel to a central axis of the device, with a window formed in an end wall of the lid, along an inner radial surface of an outer skirt of the lid.
- The ring is provided with an identification mark. In this case, the identification mark is preferably affixed to an outer radial surface of the ring between the two disjointed angular sectors in which the locking means are formed. The identification mark is located away from open windows.
- When the ring and the stopper are in place on the neck of the container in a configuration where the plug closes the neck and where the ring surrounds the neck and the stopper, the surface of the cap opposite the neck extends beyond a surface of the neck opposite the bottom of the container, over a distance greater than the distance in which the ring extends beyond the aforementioned surface of the neck. In other words, the plug exceeds more than the ring above the neck, which facilitates access to the cap when it is removed, while the ring remains in place around the neck.
L'invention concerne également un récipient, notamment un flacon pour médicament, qui est équipé d'un dispositif de bouchage tel que mentionné ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a container, in particular a medicine bottle, which is equipped with a closure device as mentioned above.
Dans un tel récipient, on peut prévoir que le diamètre interne minimal de la bague a une valeur strictement supérieure à celle du diamètre maximum du col du récipient.In such a container, it can be provided that the minimum internal diameter of the ring has a value strictly greater than that of the maximum diameter of the neck of the container.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de bouchage et d'un récipient conformes à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Le flacon 1 représenté sur les figures est en verre et il comprend un goulot 11 qui est défini par un col 12 présentant une collerette externe 13. On note X1 l'axe de symétrie du flacon 1 qui est également un axe central du col 12 et de la collerette 13. On note 14 le fond du flacon 1 qui est opposé au goulot 11. On note respectivement 132 et 134 les surfaces de la collerette 13 qui sont orientées à l'opposé du fond 14 et en direction de ce fond. En d'autres termes, les surfaces 132 et 134 constituent respectivement les surfaces inférieure et supérieure de la collerette 13 lorsque le flacon 1 repose par son fond 14 sur une surface plane et horizontale.The
Lorsqu'il convient de remplir le flacon 1, une pipette 200 est introduite dans celui-ci, à travers son goulot 11, comme représenté à la
Le dispositif 20 comprend également une coiffe 24 destinée à recouvrir et à isoler le bouchon 21 et le col 12 en configuration fermée du dispositif de bouchage.The
La coiffe 24 comprend une bague 25 et un couvercle 26 qui sont moulés ensemble et forment une pièce monobloc en tant que coiffe 24. En d'autres termes, une continuité de matière existe entre les éléments 25 et 26, au sein de la coiffe 24.The
La bague 25 est pourvue de deux jeux de trois dents de verrouillage sous la surface 134 de la collerette 13.The
On note 251 une jupe périphérique externe de la bague 25. Cette jupe est percée de deux jeux de deux fenêtres 252 qui la traversent radialement entre la surface radiale interne 251 A et la surface radiale externe 251 B de la jupe 251. En regard de chaque fenêtre 252, une patte déformable 253 est ménagée sur l'intérieur de la bague 25, c'est-à-dire du côté de la surface 251 A. Chaque patte 253 définit une surface de blocage 253A destinée à venir en appui contre la surface 134 lorsque la coiffe 24 est en place autour du col 12 du flacon 1.An external peripheral skirt of the
On note 254 une bande de matière appartenant à la jupe 25 et disposée entre deux fenêtres 252 adjacentes. Sur l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire du côté de la surface 251 A, chaque bande 254 est pourvue d'une patte de verrouillage 255 dont la surface supérieure 255A constitue une surface de blocage contre la surface 134 de la collerette 13 en configuration montée de la coiffe 24 autour du col 12.254 is a strip of material belonging to the
La différence entre les pattes 253 et les pattes 255 est que les pattes 253 peuvent pivoter plus facilement, c'est-à-dire sous l'effet d'un effort de moindre intensité, que la patte 255 par rapport à la jupe 251. En effet, comme elles sont situées au niveau des fenêtres 252, les pattes 253 sont reliées à la jupe 251 uniquement au niveau de leur bord inférieur 253B qui est opposé à la surface 253 et qui est tourné vers le bord inférieur 251 C de la jupe 251, lequel est opposé au couvercle 26. D'un autre côté, chaque patte 255 est solidaire de la bande 254 adjacente sur la plus grosse partie de sa hauteur, de sorte qu'elle risque moins de se déformer sous l'effet d'un effort exercé sur sa surface supérieure 255A.The difference between the
On note X24 l'axe central de la coiffe 24, cet axe étant superposé avec les axes X1 et X21 en configuration montée du dispositif 20 sur le flacon 1.X24 is the central axis of the
Comme il ressort plus particulièrement de la
Les pattes 253 et 255 constituent des moyens de verrouillage de la coiffe 24 sur le col 12 du flacon 1. La géométrie de la jupe 251 et de ses pattes 253 et 255 est compatible avec une mise en place de la coiffe 24 sur le col 12, après mise en place du bouchon 21, par un effort de poussée aligné sur les axes X1, X21 et X24 alors confondus et dirigés vers le fond 14 du flacon 1. Lors de cette mise en place, les pattes 253 et 255 se déforment progressivement, de façon élastique, lors de leur passage au niveau de la collerette 13.The
Le couvercle 26 comprend une jupe externe 261 dont la surface radiale externe 261 B est crénelée, ce qui facilite la transmission d'un couple de rotation entre les doigts d'un utilisateur et ce couvercle. On note 261C les cannelures ménagées sur la surface 261 B. On note X26 l'axe central du couvercle 26 qui est confondu avec l'axe X24 lorsque les parties 25 et 26 de la coiffe sont solidaires. Le couvercle 26 est pourvu d'une paroi d'extrémité 262 perpendiculaire à l'axe X26 et qui est relié à la jupe 261 sur deux ponts 261 D qui s'étendent chacun sur un secteur angulaire d'angle au sommet γ strictement inférieur à 180° par rapport à l'axe X26, de préférence de l'ordre de 90°. Il est ainsi formé deux fenêtres curvilignes 263 le long de la surface radiale interne 261 A de la jupe 261, entre cette jupe et la paroi 262, à l'extérieur des secteurs angulaires d'angle au sommet y.The
Les fenêtres 263 sont chacune alignées, selon une direction parallèle aux axes X24 et X26, avec un ensemble de pattes de verrouillage 253-254. En d'autres termes, les fenêtres 263 sont en regard des secteurs angulaires d'angle au sommet α. Ceci permet de mouler les surfaces 253A et 255A grâce à une ou des broches passant à travers les fenêtres 263.The
A part dans ses zones de jonction avec la jupe 261, la paroi 262 est circulaire et centrée sur l'axe X26. Du côté de la bague 25, la paroi 262 se prolonge par une jupe annulaire 264 concentrique avec la jupe 261 et qui est destinée à presser le plateau 211 du bouchon 21 contre la surface 132 de la collerette 13 lorsque le dispositif 20 est en place sur le col 12 du flacon 1.Apart from its areas of junction with the
Les éléments 25 et 26 de la coiffe 24 sont reliés par des pontets sécables 27 qui créent une continuité de matière entre ces éléments 25 et 26 et qui sont en forme de trapèze, avec leur plus petite base 271 au niveau du bord supérieur 251 D de la jupe 251, c'est-à-dire du bord de cette jupe tourné vers le couvercle 26.The
On note d251 le diamètre interne de la jupe 251. Ce diamètre constitue le diamètre interne minimal de la bague 25. Comme cela ressort notamment de la
Les pontets 27 sont au nombre de huit et régulièrement répartis sur le bord 251 D, de sorte qu'ils se trouvent sur une circonférence de la bague 25 dont le diamètre interne d27 est supérieur ou égal au diamètre d251. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, les diamètres d27 et d251 sont égaux.The
En pratique, le rapport d251/D21 peut être compris entre 1,01 et 1,05, de préférence entre 1,02 et 1,04.In practice, the d251 / D21 ratio can be between 1.01 and 1.05, preferably between 1.02 and 1.04.
De plus, la valeur du diamètre d251 est choisie strictement supérieure au diamètre extérieur D13 de la collerette 13 qui est le diamètre maximal du col 12. Ceci permet un montage de la bague 25 sur le col 12 sans dilatation radiale de la jupe 251. En pratique, le rapport d251/D13 est choisi entre 1,005 et 1,01, de préférence égal à 1,0075.In addition, the value of the diameter d251 is chosen to be strictly greater than the outside diameter D13 of the
Les dimensions des pontets 27, notamment leur section au niveau de leurs petites bases respectives 271, sont choisies de telle sorte qu'il est possible de rompre ces pontets au niveau de ces petites bases au moyen d'un couple d'entraînement du couvercle 26 autour de l'axe X1, ce couple induisant lui-même une rotation du couvercle 26 représentée par la flèche R à la
Les pontets peuvent également être rompus par un effort de traction lorsqu'un utilisateur fait basculer le couvercle 26 par rapport à la bague 25, autour d'un axe orthoradial par rapport à l'axe X24.The bridges can also be broken by a tensile force when a user tilts the
Au niveau de chaque pontet 27 et radialement sur l'extérieur de celui-ci, le couvercle 26 est pourvu d'une nervure 266 qui s'étend vers la bague 25 à partir de la jupe 261. Ces nervures 266 permettent de transmettre à la bague 25 un effort axial de poussée dirigé vers le fond 14 et appliqué sur le couvercle 26, lors du montage de la coiffe 24 sur le flacon 1. En effet, dans ce cas, les pontets 27 se déforment élastiquement, au point que les nervures 266 viennent en appui sur le bord 251 D.At the level of each
Lorsque les pontets 27 sont rompus, il est possible de séparer le couvercle 26 de la bague 25, comme représenté par les flèches F7 et F10 aux
La manipulation du couvercle 26 ne déplace pas la bague 24 par rapport au flacon 1 car celle-ci est fermement maintenue en position sur le col 12 grâce aux pattes de verrouillage 253 et 255. En effet, l'effort d'appui du plateau 211 sur la surface 132 exercé par la jupe 264 a pour effet de mettre en tension le dispositif de bouchage 20 de part et d'autre de la collerette 13, le long de l'axe X1. En d'autres termes, le plateau 211 du bouchon 21 et les surfaces 253A et 255A des pattes de blocage 25 exercent un effort de compression sur la collerette 13 qui est plus rigide que le dispositif de bouchage 20, ce qui a pour effet de mettre en tension les parties constitutives de ce dispositif. Ceci induit un appui ferme des surfaces 253A et 255A des pattes 253 et 255 contre la surface 134, ce qui limite les risques de rotation de la bague 25 sous l'effet du couple exercé par un utilisateur sur le couvercle 26 lors de son retrait.The manipulation of the
Comme il ressort plus particulièrement des
Une fois ce bouchon retiré dans le sens de la flèche F8 à la
Selon un aspect de l'invention représenté uniquement aux
Ceci est à rapprocher du fait que la bague 25 est prévue pour rester en place sur le flacon 1 de façon indéfinie après son montage. En d'autres termes, la bague 24 est indémontable du flacon 1, sauf à être détruite en partie, notamment par découpage de ses pattes 253 et 255, de ses bandes 254 ou de sa jupe 251.This is to be compared with the fact that the
En pratique, la marque M est formée sur une portion de la surface 251 B située dans un secteur angulaire d'angle au sommet β, c'est-à-dire à distance des fenêtres 252.In practice, the mark M is formed on a portion of the
En variante, la marque peut être remplacée par une pigmentation particulière de la coiffe 24, chaque couleur correspondant à un type de produit présent dans un flacon. Le repérage du contenu du flacon est facilité puisque la bague ainsi colorée demeure sur le flacon y compris après retrait du couvercle 26.Alternatively, the mark may be replaced by a particular pigmentation of the
Le matériau utilisé pour mouler la coiffe 24 peut être un polyoxymethylène ou un polypropylène et il est choisi pour induire une rupture nette au niveau des petites bases 271 des pontets 27.The material used to mold the
Selon une variante non représentée de l'invention, les zones de rupture privilégiée des pontets 27 peuvent être ménagées non pas au contact du bord 251 D mais à faible distance axiale de celui-ci. En pratique, la distance axiale entre ces zones de rupture privilégiée et le bord 251 D est inférieure à la distance axiale entre ces zones de rupture privilégiée et les zones d'attache des pontets 27 sur la jupe 261. Cette relation est également vérifiée dans le cas représenté sur les figures puisque, dans ce cas, la distance axiale entre les petites bases 271 et le bord 251 D est nulle, donc inférieure à la hauteur axiale des pontets.According to a variant not shown of the invention, the preferred breaking zones of the
