Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging.
  • the cap comprises a cylindrical body supporting an integrated closure element which can be opened or closed independently of the position of the body of the cap on the neck of the bottle.
  • the body of the cap is fixed by snapping on a container neck such as for example a plastic bottle.
  • a container neck such as for example a plastic bottle.
  • an annular retaining projection extending radially from the inner wall of the plug body is provided to snap onto the neck of the container.
  • This method of attachment makes it possible to prohibit the separation of the stopper and the neck of the container after the latter has been filled with a food drink, in order to limit its reuse, and to prevent the development of germs in the parts of the container. plug difficult to clean.
  • the closure element is adapted to the intended use of the container, and may be formed, for example, by a push / pull type shutter circulating along a given axis, or by a folding lid pivoting about a axis.
  • the bottom of the cap may comprise a tearable veil for isolating the contents of the container to its final use.
  • the inner wall of the plug body does not have a female thread.
  • the position of the retaining projection is adjusted to allow engagement of said retaining protrusion with the lower retaining face of the tamper-evident flange. It is provided in said publication that, in this position, the upper edge of the neck of the container comes into contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the cap to prevent axial movement of the latter. Fixing the cap on the neck of the container is effected by introducing the plug force on the neck in an axial direction until the snap of the retaining projection under the tamperproof collar.
  • this method of attachment may have certain disadvantages. Indeed, due to the pressure exerted by the upper edge of the neck of the container on the bottom wall of the plug, there is a more or less permanent deformation of the bottom wall which, beyond the undesirable aesthetic effects, is which can degrade the tear-off film and, by modifying the position of the inner sealing skirt, alter the sealing connection between the skirt and the inner wall of the mouthpiece.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an original solution to the problem posed above.
  • the plug according to the invention is of the type to be fixed by snapping on a container neck comprising one or more male threads.
  • the invention is characterized in that the inner wall of the cylindrical body comprises an annular shoulder distinct from the retaining projection extending radially inwardly of the cylindrical body, and located at a distance from the inner wall of the bottom of the plug which is strictly greater than a distance between the upper bearing surface of the threads and an upper edge of the mouth of the neck, so that the annular shoulder abuts on the upper bearing surface of the male threads when the cap is fixed snap on the neck of the container, preventing the insertion of the cap on the neck, and that the upper edge of the mouth of the neck of the container is not in contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the cap.
  • the cylindrical body is sized according to the neck of the container, so as to sink above the neck capping its male threads. It follows from this arrangement that the forces exerted in the axial direction on the plug during the latching operation are exerted exclusively on the wall of the plug body, and leave said bottom free of any stress.
  • the plug 1 represented at figure 1 comprises a cylindrical body 10 having a symmetry of revolution about the axis XX '.
  • the direction XX ' defines a direction going from the bottom to the top.
  • the bottom 11 of the plug On the upper axial end of the cylindrical body 10 is disposed the bottom 11 of the plug.
  • the bottom supports closure elements 12, formed in the case in point, by a cover hinged about an axis 120.
  • closure elements 12 formed in the case in point, by a cover hinged about an axis 120.
  • a tear-off veil 14 extends over the central part of the bottom 11.
  • a ring 140 makes it possible to extract the tear-off film 14 and to release a passage for the flow of the liquid contained in the container.
  • the bottom 11 also supports an inner skirt 13 of cylindrical shape to ensure a good seal between the cap and the neck of the container.
  • the inner wall 100 of the cylindrical body 10 is devoid of female thread and has a substantially smooth surface. Near the lower edge 108 of the cylindrical body 10 is disposed a retaining projection 101 extending radially from the inner wall 100 to the central portion of the cylindrical body 10 of the plug. This retaining projection 101 includes an upper bearing face 102. The retaining projection 101 forms the detent means for holding the cap attached to the neck of the container.
  • the inner wall of the cylindrical body does not have a female thread. Screwing the cap on the neck is then useless, since the cap can snap on the neck.
  • the inner wall of the cylindrical body could, however, include female threads (not shown) capable of meshing the male threads of the neck. In this configuration, the cap is screwed onto the neck before snapping into it.
  • the female threads have an axial section profile in the form of a ramp to allow, by elastic deformation of the plug or at least female threads, the depression of the plug without rotation on the neck.
  • said wall 100 has an upper portion 103 forming a recess relative to the lower part of the wall.
  • the wall has a thickness e 1 greater than the thickness e 2 of the lower part of the wall of the cylindrical body.
  • the recess forms an annular shoulder 104, of internal diameter ⁇ 1 , extending radially from the wall 100 towards the inside of the cylindrical body 10 of the plug.
  • This annular shoulder 104 circulates continuously over the entire circumference of the wall 100.
  • the annular shoulder 104 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis XX '.
  • the upper part 103 of thickness e 1 is extended axially to the wall 110 of the bottom 11 of the plug. This arrangement simplifies manufacturing operations by removing all areas underdepoise.
  • the figure 2 illustrates a container neck 2 of the standard type of axis XX '.
  • This container neck comprises at least one male thread 22.
  • the number of threads represented in the example used as a support for the present description is equal to three, which is a very widely used embodiment. However, this number is not limiting.
  • Each thread has on its axially upper portion a bearing surface 220.
  • the mouth 23 of the neck is delimited by an upper edge 230.
  • the standard type collar as shown in FIG. figure 2 also comprises a tamper-evident flange 21, extending radially outwardly of the neck, and originally intended to cooperate with a detachable tamper-evident ring located on a screw cap (not shown) and thereby having female threads. .
  • the tamper-evident flange supports a lower retaining face 210.
  • the neck 2 finally has, in its lower part, a support collar 24, having an upper bearing surface 240.
  • the figure 3 illustrates the case in which the cap 1 is fixed by snapping on the neck 2 of the container.
  • the closure member 12 is shown in the open position.
  • the plug 2 is introduced on the neck in the axial direction XX 'until the retaining projection 101 engages with the tamper-evident collar 21.
  • the upper bearing surface 102 of the projection of retainer 101 is in contact with the lower retaining face 210 of the tamper-evident flange 21, and the axial position of the annular shoulder 104 is adjusted to also come into contact with the upper bearing surface 220 of the threads 22.
  • plug 1 which is then fixed by snapping on the neck 2, is deprived of movement in both directions of the XX 'axis.
  • the annular shoulder 104 rests on the upper bearing surfaces 220 of each of the threads 22 at three points equidistantly angularly on the periphery of the neck 2 of the container.
  • the inner sealing skirt 12 whose outer diameter substantially corresponds to the inside diameter of the neck of the container, penetrates forcibly inside the mouth 23 and provides a sealing contact with the inner surface of said mouth 23.
  • the distance has (see figure 1 ) between the annular shoulder 104 and the upper bearing face 102 of the retaining projection 101 is substantially equal to the distance a 'between the upper bearing surface 220 of the threads 22 and the lower retaining face 210 of the collar
  • an adjustment of these dimensions may be necessary to take account of the conical appearance of the shape of the threads 22 on which the annular shoulder 104 rests.
  • the distance b 'measured between the upper bearing surface 220 of the threads 22 and the upper edge 230 of the mouth 23 of the container neck is strictly less than the distance b measured between the annular shoulder 104 and the wall 110 inside the bottom 11 of the cap.
  • the value of the inside diameter of the annular flange ⁇ 1 must be between the outside diameter ⁇ 2 of the threads 22 and the outside diameter ⁇ 3 of the mouth of the neck of the container.
  • the values of the ratings a 'and b' are defined by the standards used in the profession.
  • the value of the dimension a ' substantially equal to the value of the dimension a
  • the value of the dimension b ' is 1.9 mm.
  • the diameter value ⁇ 1 is between 36 mm +/- 0.15 mm and 38 mm +/- 0.15 mm.
  • the figure 4 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention, in which the plug differs from the plug shown in FIG. figure 1 in that the annular shoulder is formed by the lower face 107 of an inner flange 105.
  • This inner flange comprises an upper wall 106 separate from the inner wall 110 of the bottom 11 of the cap.
  • This embodiment can be of interest when, by acting on the axial thickness of the inner flange 105, the axial elasticity of said inner flange 105 is adjusted in order to give some flexibility to the fastening of the cap on the inner flange 105. snap-on collar, and make snapping less sensitive to tolerance deviations.
  • the figure 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention wherein, to improve the overall sealing of the plug, the lower edge 108 of the body 10 of the cap comes into contact with the upper bearing surface 240 of the support collar 24.
  • the distance c between the upper bearing face 102 of the retaining projection 101 and the lower edge 108 of the cylindrical body 10 of the plug is substantially equal to the value c 'of the distance between the lower retaining face 210 the tamper-evident collar 21 and the upper bearing face 240 of the support collar 24.
