Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un bouchon étanche destiné à la fermeture d'un récipient. Un tel bouchon est du type constitué par une jupe périphérique présentant, à sa partie inférieure interne, un bourrelet périphérique d'encliquetage sur une collerette correspondante d'un col du récipient et reliée, à sa partie supérieure, à un couvercle, par l'intermédiaire de deux films arrachables d'une bande d'inviolabilité.The present invention relates to a sealed cap for closing a container. Such a stopper is of the type consisting of a peripheral skirt having, at its inner lower part, a circumferential rim for snapping on a corresponding flange of a neck of the receptacle and connected, at its upper part, to a cover, by the intermediate of two tear-off films of a tamper-evident band.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Pour effectuer cet arrachement, il est connu de prévoir, à l'extrémité de la bande, une languette de préhension. Celle-ci est obtenue par moulage, au cours d'une même opération, avec la bande, la jupe et le couvercle.To perform this tearing, it is known to provide, at the end of the strip, a gripping tab. This is obtained by molding, during a single operation, with the band, the skirt and the lid.

L'utilisation d'un tel bouchon rencontre une difficulté au niveau de la languette, qu'il n'est pas toujours aisé de préhender par un consommateur.The use of such a plug encounters a difficulty in the tongue, it is not always easy to prehend by a consumer.

C'est pourquoi il a déjà été proposé de faciliter cette opération en prévoyant une languette initialement intégrée dans la jupe, mais qui en ressort lors de la pose du bouchon sur le récipient.That is why it has already been proposed to facilitate this operation by providing a tongue initially integrated into the skirt, but which comes out when the cap is placed on the container.

L'art antérieur, notamment constitué par le brevet luxembourgeois N° 88851 , décrit un bouchon de ce type, selon le préambule de la revendication 1 ayant la particularité de repousser la languette vers l'extérieur au moment du bouchage, pour faciliter sa préhension ultérieurement. Ceci est obtenu par une poussée radiale de la collerette sur un bossage interne de languette, ayant pour effet de faire pivoter celle-ci vers l'extérieur, d'une position verticale vers une position oblique préhensible.The prior art, in particular constituted by the Luxembourg patent N ° 88851 , discloses a plug of this type, according to the preamble of claim 1 having the particularity of pushing the tongue outwardly at the time of closure, to facilitate its subsequent gripping. This is obtained by a radial thrust of the flange on an internal tongue boss, having the effect of making rotate it outward, from a vertical position to an oblique position.

Mais une telle technique implique de donner au bouchon une forme cylindrique, et conséquemment de créer deux gorges d'arrachement de diamètres identiques superposées, de part et d'autre de la bande d'inviolabilité.But such a technique involves giving the plug a cylindrical shape, and consequently to create two tearing grooves of identical diameters superimposed on both sides of the tamper-evident band.

Une telle conception oblige nécessairement à utiliser un moule à chariot, ayant pour inconvénient d'être plus cher, plus encombrant et moins performant.Such a design necessarily requires the use of a trolley mold, having the disadvantage of being more expensive, more cumbersome and less efficient.

Description de l'inventionDescription of the invention

De manière à remédier à ces inconvénients, la présente invention concerne un bouchon étanche destiné à la fermeture d'un récipient, du type constitué par une jupe périphérique présentant, à sa partie inférieure interne, un bourrelet périphérique d'encliquetage sur une collerette correspondante d'un col du récipient et reliée, à sa partie supérieure, à un couvercle, par l'intermédiaire de deux films arrachables d'une bande d'inviolabilité, munie de moyens de préhension, caractérisé en ce que ces moyens sont constitués par au moins une languette d'extrémité de la bande, inscrite dans l'enveloppe initiale du bouchon avant arrachement, le bord périphérique inférieur de ladite bande présentant un redent positif au niveau de la languette, pour constituer une prise d'appui inférieur contre la collerette du récipient, lors de l'encliquetage du bourrelet du bouchon sur la collerette du col, de manière à provoquer une poussée axiale sur la languette et conséquemment un déplacement proportionnel à la hauteur du redent, pour décaler d'autant le bord supérieur de la languette au-dessus du plan du couvercle et constituer une amorce de préhension de la bande d'inviolabilité à laquelle est attachée la languette.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the present invention relates to a leaktight cap intended for closing a container, of the type consisting of a peripheral skirt having, at its inner lower part, a peripheral snap-fitting bead on a corresponding collar of a neck of the container and connected, at its upper part, to a lid, by means of two tear-off films of a tamper-evident band, provided with gripping means, characterized in that these means consist of at least an end tongue of the strip, inscribed in the initial envelope of the plug before tearing, the lower peripheral edge of said strip having a positive redent at the tongue, to form a bottom bearing against the collar of the container when snapping the bead of the cap on the flange of the neck, so as to cause an axial thrust on the tongue and con sequentially a displacement proportional to the height of the redent, to shift all the upper edge of the tongue above the plane of the cover and constitute a primer gripping the tamper band to which is attached the tongue.

La présente 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 present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

Description détailléedetailed description

Le bouchon 1 désigné globalement sur les figures est constitué par une jupe périphérique 2 présentant, à sa partie inférieure interne, un bourrelet périphérique 3 d'encliquetage sur une collerette 4 correspondante d'un col 5 du récipient 6 et reliée, à sa partie supérieure, à un couvercle 7, par l'intermédiaire de deux films arrachables 8,9 d'une bande d'inviolabilité 10, munie de moyens de préhension.The plug 1 generally designated in the figures is constituted by a peripheral skirt 2 having, at its inner lower part, a peripheral bead 3 snapping on a flange 4 corresponding to a neck 5 of the container 6 and connected at its upper part to a cover 7, by means of two tear-off films 8.9 of a tamper-evident band 10, provided with gripping means.

Selon l'invention, ces moyens sont constitués par au moins une languette d'extrémité 11 de la bande 10, inscrite dans l'enveloppe initiale du bouchon 1 avant arrachement, le bord périphérique inférieur de ladite bande 10 présentant un redent positif 12 au niveau de la languette 11, pour constituer une prise d'appui inférieur contre la collerette 4 du récipient 6, lors de l'encliquetage du bourrelet 3 du bouchon 1 sur la collerette 4 du col 5, de manière à provoquer une poussée axiale « F » sur la languette 11 et conséquemment un déplacement proportionnel à la hauteur « h » du redent 12, pour décaler d'autant le bord supérieur 11 a de la languette 11 au-dessus du plan 7a du couvercle 7 et constituer une amorce de préhension de la bande d'inviolabilité 10 à laquelle est attachée la languette 11.According to the invention, these means are constituted by at least one end tongue 11 of the strip 10, inscribed in the initial envelope of the plug 1 before tearing off, the lower peripheral edge of said strip 10 having a positive redent 12 at the of the tongue 11, to constitute a lower bearing against the flange 4 of the container 6, during the engagement of the bead 3 of the plug 1 on the flange 4 of the neck 5, so as to cause an axial thrust "F" on the tongue 11 and consequently a displacement proportional to the height "h" of the redent 12, to shift all the upper edge 11a of the tongue 11 above the plane 7a of the cover 7 and constitute a primer gripping the tamper-evident band 10 to which is attached the tongue 11.

Le bord inférieur de la languette de préhension 11 présente initialement, au niveau du redent 12, une zone d'attache 13 avec la jupe 2, se rompant lors de l'encliquetage du bourrelet 3 dudit bouchon 1 sur la collerette 4 du récipient 6.The lower edge of the gripping tongue 11 initially has, at the level of the redent 12, a fastening zone 13 with the skirt 2, breaking during the snapping of the bead 3 of said plug 1 on the flange 4 of the container 6.

Ceci a pour avantage de maintenir la languette 11 en place et de s'inscrire dans l'enveloppe initiale du bouchon 1 et d'y rester, avant montage sur le récipient 6.This has the advantage of maintaining the tongue 11 in place and register in the initial envelope of the cap 1 and stay there, before mounting on the container 6.

Selon le présent exemple, la bande d'inviolabilité 10 comporte deux languettes de préhension puis d'arrachement 11 réalisées à chacune de ses extrémités, et entre lesquelles une charnière 14 relie la jupe 2 au couvercle 7.According to the present example, the tamper-evident strip 10 comprises two gripping tabs then tearing tabs 11 made at each of its ends, and between which a hinge 14 connects the skirt 2 to the cover 7.

Des lumières 15 sont ménagées entre la jupe 2 et le couvercle 7 au droit des languettes de préhension puis d'arrachement 11, pour qu'elles s'y inscrivent initialement.Lights 15 are provided between the skirt 2 and the cover 7 to the right of the gripping tabs and tearing 11, so that they are initially listed.

Une telle conception permet, comme précédemment, de maintenir en place les languettes 11, sans créer de relief sur l'enveloppe initiale du bouchon 1.Such a design makes it possible, as previously, to keep in place the tongues 11, without creating relief on the initial envelope of the plug 1.

Avantageusement, la retenue et l'étanchéité du couvercle 7 dans le col 5 du récipient 6 sont obtenues par un bourrelet périphérique 16, réalisé à la partie inférieure interne d'un manchon cylindrique 17, déformable élastiquement, prolongeant le couvercle 7 vers l'intérieur et en contact avec le col 5 du récipient 6.Advantageously, the retention and sealing of the lid 7 in the neck 5 of the container 6 are obtained by a peripheral bead 16, made at the lower internal portion of a cylindrical sleeve 17, elastically deformable, extending the lid 7 inwards and in contact with the neck 5 of the container 6.

Pour faciliter l'ouverture du bouchon 1, une fois en place sur le col 5 du récipient 6 et que la bande d'inviolabilité 10 a été arrachée à l'aide de la languette de préhension 11, une lèvre de soulèvement 18 est réalisée à la périphérie du couvercle 7.To facilitate the opening of the cap 1, once in place on the neck 5 of the container 6 and the tamper-evident band 10 has been torn off using the gripping tongue 11, a lifting lip 18 is made to the periphery of the lid 7.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la bande d'inviolabilité 10 s'inscrit dans un plan tronconique reliant la jupe 2 au couvercle 7, les deux films arrachables 8 et 9 les reliant étant conséquemment de diamètres différents, étagés sur deux niveaux différents, de manière à permettre la réalisation du bouchon 1 par moulage d'une matière plastique et son démoulage vertical.According to another characteristic of the invention, the tamper-evident band 10 is part of a frustoconical plane connecting the skirt 2 to the cover 7, the two tear-off films 8 and 9 connecting them being consequently of different diameters, staggered on two different levels. , so as to allow the realization of the plug 1 by molding a plastic material and its vertical demolding.

Comme le montre bien les figures comparatives 8A et 8B, lors du montage du bouchon 1 sur le col 5 du récipient 1, le bourrelet 3 de la jupe 2 rencontre la collerette 4 du col 5, dont la résistance est vaincue par la déformation élastique de la matière de la jupe 4. Une fois passé cet obstacle, le bord périphérique inférieur 7b du couvercle 7 vient en contact avec une partie périphérique supérieure du col 5, formant assise.As shown in Comparative Figures 8A and 8B, during assembly of the cap 1 on the neck 5 of the container 1, the bead 3 of the skirt 2 meets the collar 4 of the neck 5, whose resistance is overcome by the elastic deformation of the material of the skirt 4. Once past this obstacle, the lower peripheral edge 7b of the cover 7 comes into contact with an upper peripheral portion of the neck 5, forming a seat.

Simultanément, le redent 12 de la languette 11 vient en contact avec la collerette 4 du col 5, ce qui a pour effet de rompre le point d'attache 13 de la languette 11 par rapport à la jupe 2, de soulever la languette 11 de la valeur « h » et de mettre sa partie supérieure 11a en relief par rapport au plan 7a du couvercle 7. Est ainsi permise une préhension aisée de la languette 11 et l'arrachement de la bande d'inviolabilité 10.Simultaneously, the redent 12 of the tongue 11 comes into contact with the flange 4 of the neck 5, which has the effect of breaking the point of attachment 13 of the tongue 11 relative to the skirt 2, to lift the tongue 11 of the value "h" and to put its upper portion 11a in relief with respect to the plane 7a of the cover 7. Thus is allowed an easy grip of the tongue 11 and tearing of the tamper-evident strip 10.
