Description

La présente invention concerne un bouchon permettant de rendreThe present invention relates to a plug for rendering

complètement étanche une bouteille de vin en éliminant l'effet de bouchonnage donnant le goût du bouchon au vin, de faciliter l'ouverture de la bouteille (insertion sans effort du tire-bouchon et diminution de l'effort pour retirer le bouchon de la bouteille) et d' éviter la casse du bouchon .  completely waterproof a bottle of wine by eliminating the corking effect giving the taste of the wine stopper, to facilitate the opening of the bottle (effortless insertion of the corkscrew and reduction of the effort to remove the bottle cap ) and to avoid breakage of the stopper.

L'ouverture d'une bouteille de vin est traditionnellement effectuée par un tire-bouchon, cette présente invention utilise le même procédé.  The opening of a bottle of wine is traditionally performed by a corkscrew, this present invention uses the same method.

Les bouchons traditionnels en liège de différentes tailles peuvent donner le goût du liège au vin (bouchonnage). Le consommateur visse le tire-bouchon dans le bouchon en liège mais il y a des risques de casse du bouchon. Certaines bouteilles sont équipées de bouchons fabriqués en matières plastique, mélange de liège et de matériaux plastiques compressés ou d'autres matières compressées ressemblant au liège mais tous ces matériaux n'ont pas le prestige d'un bouchon en liège et présentent les mêmes inconvénients que le bouchon traditionnel en liège.  Traditional corks of different sizes can give the taste of cork to wine (corking). The consumer screws the corkscrew into the cork but there is a risk of breakage of the cork. Some bottles come with caps made of plastic, a mixture of cork and compressed plastic materials or other compressed materials resembling cork but all these materials do not have the prestige of a cork and have the same disadvantages as the traditional cork stopper.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients (bouchonnage, casse du bouchon) et de conserver le prestige du liège ou de la farine de liège. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique trois parties, l'une en liège et deux en plastique alimentaire. Ces parties sont assemblées pour former le bouchon produit fini . La partie liège constitue l'enveloppe du bouchon en contact avec le diamètre intérieur de la bouteille. L'une des parties plastique est un cylindre conique qui se situe à l'intérieur du liège et pennet l'insertion du tire-bouchon grâce à un pas adapté. La seconde partie plastique est la pastille du bouchon, elle permet d'assurer l'étanchéité de la bouteille ce qui évite au vin d'être en contact avec le liège et l'air (risque d'oxydation etc... ).  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks (corking, breakage of the stopper) and to preserve the prestige of cork or cork flour. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic three parts, one in cork and two plastic food. These parts are assembled to form the finished product cap. The cork portion constitutes the envelope of the stopper in contact with the inner diameter of the bottle. One of the plastic parts is a conical cylinder which is located inside the cork and allows the insertion of the corkscrew with a suitable pitch. The second plastic part is the stopper of the stopper, it makes it possible to ensure the tightness of the bottle which prevents the wine from being in contact with the cork and the air (risk of oxidation etc ...).

Montage du bouchon: La partie liège est constituée d'un perçage conique avec un angle adapté qui permet l'introduction du cylindre conique plastique. Le cylindre et la pastille sont assemblés grâce à un système d'encoches. Ainsi, la fixation entre ces trois parties (liège, cylindre plastique, pastille) s'effectue sans jeu.  Cork mounting: The cork section consists of a conical bore with a suitable angle that allows the introduction of the plastic conical cylinder. The cylinder and the pellet are assembled thanks to a system of notches. Thus, fixing between these three parts (cork, plastic cylinder, pellet) is performed without play.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: le cylindre conique est constitué d'un taraudage guidant la vis sans fin du tire-bouchon avec un pas adapté à celui-ci. Cela permet de garantir un vissage sans effort et la tenue de la vis sans fin pour extraire le bouchon.  According to particular embodiments: the conical cylinder is constituted by a thread guiding the endless screw of the corkscrew with a pitch adapted thereto. This ensures a screwing effortless and holding the worm to extract the cap.

La pastille qui est un disque est la partie plastique qui sépare le liège et le vin, elle est composée d'un chanfrein sur sa partie inférieure qui assure l'insertion du bouchon dans la bouteille. L'enveloppe de la pastille est constituée de fines lamelles créant l'étanchéité parfaite.  The disc which is a disc is the plastic part that separates the cork and the wine, it is composed of a chamfer on its lower part which ensures the insertion of the stopper in the bottle. The envelope of the pellet consists of thin slats creating the perfect seal.

Une couronne constituée de lamelles en caoutchouc alimentaire ou plastique alimentaire peut être sertie sur la pastille pour créer le joint d'étanchéité. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure 1 représente en coupe, la moitié du dispositif de l'invention coupé en son centre.  A crown made of food rubber or food plastic lamellae can be crimped onto the tablet to create the seal. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents in section, half of the device of the invention cut at its center.

La figure 2 représente en coupe, l'autre moitié du dispositif de l'invention coupé en son centre.  Figure 2 shows in section, the other half of the device of the invention cut at its center.

La figure 3 représente la vue extérieure du dispositif de l'invention.  Figure 3 shows the external view of the device of the invention.

La figure 4 représente le sous-ensemble pastille plastique vue de dessus.  Figure 4 shows the subset plastic tablet seen from above.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une partie cylindrique en liège ou farine de liège ou liège compressé (1) avec un perçage conique. A l'intérieur du (1) se trouve un cylindre conique plastique (4) en deux parties avec un filetage (6) adapté aux différents tire-bouchons vendus dans le commerce. Cette partie (4) possède deux tétons (5) et deux perçages (9) adaptés au diamètre des tétons pour réaliser l'assemblage des deux moitiés du cylindre plastique (4). De plus, le dispositif est constitué d'une pastille plastique (2) qui sépare le vain du liège et assure l'étanchéité grâce à de fines lamelles (3). Le cylindre plastique (4) et la pastille plastique (2) sont assemblés grâce à un système d'encoches (7) et (8).  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a cylindrical portion of cork or cork flour or compressed cork (1) with a conical bore. Inside the (1) is a two-part plastic conical cylinder (4) with a thread (6) adapted to the different corkscrews sold in the trade. This part (4) has two nipples (5) and two holes (9) adapted to the diameter of the nipples to achieve the assembly of the two halves of the plastic cylinder (4). In addition, the device consists of a plastic pellet (2) which separates the vain cork and seals with thin strips (3). The plastic cylinder (4) and the plastic pellet (2) are assembled by a system of notches (7) and (8).

Selon une variante non illustrée, une couronne constituée de lamelles en caoutchouc alimentaire ou plastique alimentaire peut être sertie sur la pastille (2) pour créer le joint d'étanchéité.  According to a non-illustrated variant, a crown made of food rubber or food plastic lamellae can be crimped onto the tablet (2) to create the seal.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le bouchon aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 19,5 mm pour le diamètre et de 35 mm pour la longueur.  By way of non-limiting example, the plug will have dimensions of the order of 19.5 mm for the diameter and 35 mm for the length.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné pour l'ouverture et la fermeture de bouteilles de vins et de spiritueux.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the opening and closing of bottles of wines and spirits.
