The shutter comprises a plate in the form of a disc and delimited by an outer shutter skirt. The shutter also comprises an internal shutter skirt coaxial with the external shutter skirt and which forms a seal with the inside of the moldboard when the shutter is in the closed position, that is to say folded over. 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.Another type of stopper is also known, comprising a body mounted on a neck and the like with regard to the moldboard, but the articulated shutter of which is replaced by a screw cap. For this, the body has a crown 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 intended to cooperate with the threads of the crown. It also comprises an internal cap skirt coaxial with the external cap skirt and which forms a seal with the inside of the moldboard when the cap is in the closed position, that is to say screwed onto 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 stopper, which requires having specific tools and storing specific parts.

Thus, the crown 17, the collar 171 and the shoulder 11 define between them a circular groove 18. The shoulder 11 has an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the crown 17.

L'obturateur 3 comporte un plateau d'obturateur 30 et une jupe interne d'obturateur 32 insérée de manière étanche à l'intérieur du versoir 16 lorsque l'obturateur 3 est dans une position de fermeture. Il comporte également une jupe externe d'obturateur 33 coaxiale à la jupe interne d'obturateur 32 et délimitant le plateau d'obturateur 30. L'obturateur 3 est articulé sur une bague 34 qui entoure le corps 1 et qui s'encliquette sur le corps grâce à des ergots 340 qui se logent dans la gorge 18 circulaire, comme le montrent en particulier les figures 4 et 5, par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 35 reliant la jupe externe d'obturateur 33 et la bague 34. La bague 34 est ajustée autour de la couronne 17 et vient en butée dans une feuillure 110 pratiquée à la périphérie de l'épaulement 11. 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 internal shutter skirt 32 inserted in a sealed manner inside the moldboard 16 when the shutter 3 is in a closed position. It also comprises an external shutter skirt 33 coaxial with the internal 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 snaps onto the body thanks to lugs 340 which are housed in the circular groove 18, as shown in particular by the figures 4 and 5 , by means of a hinge 35 connecting the outer shutter skirt 33 and the ring 34. The ring 34 is fitted around the crown 17 and comes into abutment in a rebate 110 formed at the periphery of the shoulder 11 The exterior of the ring 34 is substantially in continuity with 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 figure 4 and an open position, after pivoting around 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 by 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 d 'shutter 32 seals against 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 described above comprises a cap 4 to together form the stopper. The cap 4 has a cap tray 41, an outer cap skirt 43 delimiting the cap tray 41, and an outer cap skirt coaxial with the outer cap skirt 43. The inner cap skirt 42 fits tightly. inside the moldboard 16 when the cap 4 is in a closed position, as shown in 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 outer cap skirt 43 has internal threads 430 so that the crown 17 receives the outer cap skirt 43 by screwing when the cap 4 is in the closed position. In this position, the outer cap skirt 43 rests in the rebate 110 of the shoulder 11, the outer surfaces of the outer skirts 13, 43 being substantially in continuity, 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 can be provided between the moldboard and the crown in the direction of the axis of the moldboard to reinforce the mechanical strength of the body. Other means of fixing the body to the neck can be used.
