Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne corps de bouchon pour une bouteille, et un bouchon comportant ce corps, notamment du genre refermable pour une bouteille de condiment alimentaire tel que de l'huile.The present invention relates to a cap body for a bottle, and a cap comprising this body, in particular of the resealable type for a food condiment bottle such as oil.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les bouteilles de condiment alimentaire sont fréquemment fournies avec un bouchon, notamment du type refermable afin de maintenir la bouteille fermée même après plusieurs utilisations.Food condiment bottles are frequently supplied with a cap, in particular of the resealable type, in order to keep the bottle closed even after several uses.

On connaît par exemple par le document FR 2 749 565 A1 un bouchon de ce type. Le col de la bouteille est de forme tubulaire se terminant par un buvant. L'extérieur du col comporte une collerette s'étendant sur toute la périphérie de manière circulaire.We know for example by the document FR 2 749 565 A1 a plug of this type. The neck of the bottle is of tubular form ending with a drink. The outside of the neck has a collar extending over the entire periphery in a circular manner.

Le bouchon comporte un corps sur lequel est articulé un obturateur. Le corps comporte un rebord qui recouvre l'extérieur du col à son extrémité avant la collerette. Le corps comporte également une jupe interne de corps s'étendant à l'intérieur du col et venant en appui contre l'intérieur du col. La jupe interne de corps et le rebord sont reliés entre eux par un épaulement. Une étanchéité est ainsi constituée entre le col et le corps. Le corps comporte en outre un versoir de forme sensiblement tubulaire dans le prolongement de la jupe interne de corps vers l'extérieur du col et se terminant par une lèvre retournée vers l'extérieur. Un opercule détachable est prévu pour garantir l'étanchéité de la bouteille avant son utilisation et sépare la jupe interne de corps du versoir. L'obturateur est relié au corps par l'intermédiaire d'une bague qui recouvre le col jusqu'au-delà de la collerette et qui comporte des moyens d'emboîtement permettant de fixer la bague sur le col en coopération avec la collerette. L'obturateur comporte un plateau en forme de disque et délimité par une jupe externe d'obturateur. L'obturateur comporte également une jupe interne d'obturateur coaxiale à la jupe externe d'obturateur et qui vient former une étanchéité avec l'intérieur du versoir lorsque l'obturateur est en position de fermeture, c'est-à-dire rabattu sur le corps.The cap comprises a body on which is articulated a shutter. The body has a rim that covers the outside of the neck at its end before the collar. The body also has an internal body skirt extending inside the neck and bearing against the inside of the neck. The inner body skirt and the rim are interconnected by a shoulder. A seal is thus formed between the neck and the body. The body further comprises a mold of substantially tubular shape in the extension of the inner body skirt towards the outside of the neck and ending with a lip turned outwardly. A detachable lid is provided to ensure the tightness of the bottle before use and separates the inner body skirt of the moldboard. The shutter is connected to the body by means of a ring which covers the neck to beyond the collar and which comprises interlocking means for fixing the ring on the neck in cooperation with the collar. The shutter has a disc-shaped tray and defined by an outer skirt shutter. The shutter also comprises an inner shutter skirt coaxial with the outer shutter skirt and which forms a seal with the interior of the moldboard when the shutter is in the closed position, that is to say folded on the body.

On connaît également un autre type de bouchon comportant un corps monté sur un col et similaire en ce qui concerne le versoir, mais dont l'obturateur articulé est remplacé par un capuchon vissable. Pour cela le corps comporte une couronne entourant le versoir à partir de l'épaulement et portant un ou plusieurs filets sur sa face extérieure. Le capuchon comporte un plateau en forme de disque et une jupe externe de capuchon délimitant le plateau. La jupe externe de capuchon comporte des filets intérieurs destinés à coopérer avec les filets de la couronne. Il comporte également une jupe interne de capuchon coaxiale à la jupe externe de capuchon et qui vient former une étanchéité avec l'intérieur du versoir lorsque le capuchon est en position de fermeture, c'est-à-dire vissé sur la couronne.There is also known another type of cap having a body mounted on a neck and similar with respect to the moldboard, but whose articulated shutter is replaced by a screw cap. For this the body has a ring surrounding the moldboard from the shoulder and carrying one or more threads on its outer face. The cap has a disc-shaped tray and an outer cap skirt defining the tray. The outer cap skirt has internal threads for cooperating with the threads of the crown. It also has an inner cap skirt coaxial with the outer cap skirt and which forms a seal with the interior of the moldboard when the cap is in the closed position, that is to say screwed on the crown.

Il est nécessaire actuellement de prévoir un corps et un obturateur ou un capuchon spécifique pour ces deux types de bouchon, ce qui nécessite de disposer d'un outillage spécifique et de stocker des pièces spécifiques.It is currently necessary to provide a body and a shutter or a specific cap for these two types of plug, which requires the availability of specific tools and store specific parts.

L'invention vise à fournir un bouchon de bouteille qui soit plus universel en offrant différents types de fermeture.The invention aims to provide a bottle cap that is more universal by providing different types of closure.

L'extérieur de la bague 34 est sensiblement dans la continuité de la jupe externe de corps 13 et de la jupe externe d'obturateur 33.The shutter 3 comprises a shutter plate 30 and an inner shutter skirt 32 sealingly inserted inside the moldboard 16 when the shutter 3 is in a closed position. It comprises also an outer shutter skirt 33 coaxial with the inner shutter skirt 32 and delimiting the shutter plate 30. The shutter 3 is articulated on a ring 34 which surrounds the body 1 and which clicks on the body through pins 340 which are housed in the circular groove 18, as shown in particular by the Figures 4 and 5 , via a hinge 35 connecting the outer shutter skirt 33 and the ring 34. The ring 34 is fitted around the ring 17 and abuts in a rebate 110 formed on the periphery of the shoulder 11 The outside of the ring 34 is substantially in the continuity of the outer body skirt 13 and the outer shutter skirt 33.

Lors de l'utilisation, l'obturateur 3 est mobile entre la position fermée, telle que représentée sur la figure 4 et une position ouverte, après pivotement autour de la charnière 35, dans laquelle l'extrémité du versoir 16 est libérée. L'opercule 14 est alors détaché par une traction sur le collier 141 et par rupture sur toute la périphérie de l'opercule 14, le long d'un affaiblissement 142. L'obturateur 3 peut revenir en position fermée dans laquelle la jupe interne d'obturateur 32 assure une étanchéité avec le versoir 16.In use, the shutter 3 is movable between the closed position, as shown in FIG. figure 4 and an open position, after pivoting about the hinge 35, in which the end of the moldboard 16 is released. The cover 14 is then detached by pulling on the collar 141 and breaking over the entire periphery of the cover 14, along a weakening 142. The shutter 3 can return to the closed position in which the internal skirt 14 shutter 32 ensures a seal with the moldboard 16.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, le même corps tel que décrit précédemment comporte un capuchon 4 pour former ensemble le bouchon. Le capuchon 4 comporte un plateau de capuchon 41, une jupe externe de capuchon 43 délimitant le plateau de capuchon 41, et une jupe externe de capuchon coaxiale à la jupe externe de capuchon 43. La jupe interne de capuchon 42 s'insère de manière étanche à l'intérieur du versoir 16 lorsque le capuchon 4 est dans une position de fermeture, telle que représentée sur les figures 6 et 7.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the same body as previously described comprises a cap 4 to form together the plug. The cap 4 has a cap tray 41, an outer cap skirt 43 defining the cap tray 41, and an outer cap skirt coaxial with the cap outer skirt 43. The inner cap skirt 42 snaps tightly. inside the moldboard 16 when the cap 4 is in a closed position, as shown on the Figures 6 and 7 .

La jupe externe de capuchon 43 comporte des filets intérieurs 430, de telle sorte que la couronne 17 reçoit la jupe externe de capuchon 43 par vissage lorsque le capuchon 4 est dans la position de fermeture. Dans cette position, la jupe externe de capuchon 43 est en appui dans la feuillure 110 de l'épaulement 11, les surfaces extérieures des jupes externes 13, 43 étant sensiblement en continuité, comme le montre la figure 6. La position d'ouverture est obtenue simplement en dévissant le capuchon 4 et en le détachant ainsi du corps 1.The cap outer skirt 43 has inner threads 430, so that the crown 17 receives the cap outer skirt 43 by screwing when the cap 4 is in the closed position. In this position, the outer cap skirt 43 is supported in the rabbet 110 of the shoulder 11, the outer surfaces of the skirts 13, 43 being substantially continuous, as shown in FIG. figure 6 . The open position is obtained simply by unscrewing the cap 4 and thus detaching it from the body 1.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits à titre d'exemple. Des nervures peuvent être prévues entre le versoir et la couronne dans la direction de l'axe du versoir pour renforcer la tenue mécanique du corps. D'autres moyens de fixation du corps sur le col peuvent être utilisés.The invention is not limited to the embodiments which have been described by way of example. Ribs may be provided between the moldboard and the crown in the direction of the axis of the moldboard to enhance the mechanical strength of the body. Other means of fixing the body on the neck can be used.
