Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de bouchage, à position de fermeture indexée, pour flacon en verre ou autre matière rigide, dispositif du genre de ceux qui comportent un bouchon fileté intérieurement et un col de flacon fileté extérieurement, le col de flacon étant équipé d'un cordon situé, axialement, entre l'extrémité inférieure du filetage du col et le corps de flacon proprement dit, le col de flacon comportant, sur ce cordon, au moins deux crans en saillie radiale vers l'extérieur dont l'un constitue une butée d'orientation et l'autre un bossage d'anti-dévissabilité, tandis que le bouchon comporte au moins un cran en une matière légèrement déformable qui, en fin de vissage, vient se loger entre les deux crans du col de flacon.The invention relates to a closure device, with an indexed closed position, for a glass or other rigid material bottle, a device of the type which includes an internally threaded stopper and an externally threaded bottle neck, the bottle neck being equipped with a bead situated axially between the lower end of the thread of the neck and the bottle body proper, the bottle neck comprising, on this bead, at least two notches projecting radially outwards, the one constitutes an orientation stop and the other an anti-unscrewability boss, while the cap comprises at least one notch in a slightly deformable material which, at the end of screwing, is housed between the two notches of the neck of bottle.

Un dispositif de ce genre est connu, notamment d'après FR 2 036 272. Toutefois, la précision du positionnement du bouchon en fin de vissage demande à être améliorée ; en particulier, si l'utilisateur continue à visser le bouchon, il peut arriver que le cran de ce dernier s'engage partiellement, ou même franchisse la butée d'orientation, auquel cas le bouchon ne se trouve pas dans la position souhaitée.A device of this kind is known, in particular from FR 2 036 272. However, the precision of the positioning of the plug at the end of screwing needs to be improved; in particular, if the user continues to screw the cap, it may happen that the notch of the latter partially engages, or even crosses the orientation stop, in which case the cap is not in the desired position.

On rappelle que l'indexation du bouchon de fermeture ----- est généralement prévue, dans un souci esthétique, sur des flacons de forme polyédrique, bouchés par des bouchons ayant une forme extérieure également polyédrique ; l'indexation permet d'arrêter le bouchon dans une position déterminée, par exemple dans une position pour laquelle les faces du bouchon sont parallèles à cellesdu flacon.It will be recalled that the indexing of the closure cap ----- is generally provided, for aesthetic reasons, on bottles of polyhedral shape, corked with caps having an outer shape that is also polyhedral; indexing makes it possible to stop the stopper in a determined position, for example in a position for which the faces of the stopper are parallel to those of the bottle.

L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un dispositif de bouchage du genre défini précédemment qui permette d'assurer une position précise de fermeture du bouchon, d'une manière simple et facile à réaliser en grande série. On souhaite, en outre, que la fonction d'étanchéité du bouchon soit assurée dans de bonnes conditions.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a closure device of the kind defined above which makes it possible to ensure a precise position for closing the stopper, in a simple and easy manner to produce in large series. In addition, it is desired that the sealing function of the plug be ensured under good conditions.

Selon l'invention, un dispositif de bouchage pour flacon, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisé par le fait que la butée d'orientation et le bossage d'anti- dévissabilité sont de forme différente et que la butée d'orientation s'étend, suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe du col de flacon, sur une hauteur supérieure à celle du cordon, et fait saillie, par rapport à ce cordon, du côté opposé au filetage.According to the invention, a closure device for bottle, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the orientation stop and the anti-unscrewability boss are of different shape and that the orientation stop extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the bottle neck, at a height greater than that of the cord, and protrudes, with respect to this cord, on the side opposite the thread.

La butée d'orientation peut descendre jusqu'à l'épaule du flacon.The orientation stop can go down to the shoulder of the bottle.

Avantageusement, cette butée d'orientation présente une face plane radiale constituant une face -d'arrêt propre à coopérer avec une face correspondante prévue sur le cran du bouchon.Advantageously, this orientation stop has a radial planar face constituting a clean stop face capable of cooperating with a corresponding face provided on the notch of the plug.

La butée d'orientation et le bossage d'anti- dévissabilité prévus sur le col de flacon font saillie radialement vers l'extérieur au-delà de la surface extérieure du filetage du goulot.The orientation stop and the anti-unscrewability boss provided on the bottle neck protrude radially outward beyond the outer surface of the neck thread.

La butée d'orientation présente généralement une face arrondie convexe vers l'extérieur au-delà de sa face olane d'arrêt. La butée d'orientation débute, généralement, au niveau de la surface supérieure du cordon, c'est-à-dire au niveau de la surface du cordon tournée vers le filetage du col de flacon.The orientation stop generally has a rounded face which is convex towards the outside beyond its stop olane face. The orientation stop generally begins at the upper surface of the bead, that is to say at the level of the bead surface facing the thread of the bottle neck.

De préférence, deux paires de crans diamétralement opposées sont prévues sur le col du flacon, chacune des paires de crans étant constituée d'une butée d'orientation et d'un bossage d'anti-dévissabilité, le bouchon comportant deux crans diamétralement opposés associés à chaque paire de crans du col de flacon.Preferably, two pairs of diametrically opposite notches are provided on the neck of the bottle, each pair of notches being constituted by an orientation stop and an anti-unscrewability boss, the stopper comprising two diametrically opposite notches associated at each pair of notches on the bottle neck.

Le positionnement des butées d'orientation par rapport à l'axe d'ouverture des moules verriers est choisi de telle manière qu'il ne puisse y avoir aucune variation du profil de ces butées.The positioning of the orientation stops relative to the opening axis of the glass molds is chosen in such a way that there can be no variation in the profile of these stops.

Les butées d'orientation, comme il résulte des caractéristiques énoncées précédemment, sont dissymétriques.The orientation stops, as results from the characteristics set out above, are asymmetrical.

Les bossages d'anti-dévissabilité sont, par contre, symétriques, arrondis et entièrement situés sur le cordon. Ces bossages sont situés avant les butées d'orientation, selon le sens de vissage du bouchon. Le positionnement de ces bossages par rapport à l'axe d'ouverture des moules verriers est également choisi de telle sorte qu'il ne puisse y avoir aucune variation de leur profil.The anti-unscrewing bosses, on the other hand, are symmetrical, rounded and entirely located on the cord. These bosses are located before the orientation stops, according to the direction of screwing of the plug. The positioning of these bosses relative to the opening axis of the glass molds is also chosen so that there can be no variation in their profile.

Le ou les crans du bouchon font saillie radialement vers l'intérieur.The plug notch (s) protrude radially inward.

Le bouchon a généralement une forme polyédrique notamment à section transversale sensiblement carrée ou rectangulaire ; le cran du bouchon est avantageusement prévu au voisinage d'un angle de la section transversale de manière à se trouver, suivant la direction radiale, à l'extérieur de la surface cylindrique qui enveloppe le filetage du col du flacon.The plug generally has a polyhedral shape, notably with a substantially square or rectangular cross section; the notch of the stopper is advantageously provided in the vicinity of an angle of the cross section so as to be, in the radial direction, outside the cylindrical surface which envelops the thread of the neck of the bottle.

Lorsque le bouchon comporte deux crans diamétralement opposés, ces crans sont situés sensiblement aux extrémités d'une diagonale de la section transversale du bouchon.When the stopper has two diametrically opposite notches, these notches are located substantially at the ends of a diagonal of the cross section of the stopper.

L'invention concerne également un flacon en verre ou autre matière rigide caractérisé en ce qu'il est muni d'un dispositif de bouchage à position de fermeture indexée présentant les caractéristiques énoncées précédemment.The invention also relates to a glass or other rigid material bottle, characterized in that it is provided with a closure device with an indexed closed position having the characteristics set out above.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en certaines autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'un mode de réalisation particulier décrit avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés, mais qui n'est nullement limitatif.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of certain other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with a particular embodiment described with reference to the attached drawings, but which does not is in no way limiting.

La figure 1, de ces dessins, montre en élévation un col de flacon constituant une partie d'un dispositif de bouchage conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 of these drawings shows in elevation a bottle neck constituting a part of a closure device according to the invention.

La figure 2, enfin, est une vue de dessus du col de flacon, le bouchon étant partiellement représenté en coupe au niveau de sa partie inférieure.Figure 2, finally, is a top view of the bottle neck, the cap being partially shown in section at its lower part.

En se reportant aux dessins, on peut voir que le dispositif de bouchage pour flacon 1 en verre ou autre matière rigide comporte un bouchon 2 muni d'un filetage intérieur (non visible sur les dessins) destiné à coopérer avec le filetage extérieur 3 (figure 1) prévu sur le col 4, de forme cylindrique de révolution, du flacon 1.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the closure device for vial 1 made of glass or other rigid material comprises a stopper 2 provided with an internal thread (not visible in the drawings) intended to cooperate with the thread outside 3 (FIG. 1) provided on the neck 4, of cylindrical shape of revolution, of the bottle 1.

Le col 4 est muni d'un cordon 5 de bague à vis, de forme cylindrique de révolution. Ce cordon est situé, suivant la direction de l'axe A-A du col 4 entre l'extrémité inférieure 6 du filetage et le corps 7 de flacon.The neck 4 is provided with a screw ring cord 5, of cylindrical shape of revolution. This cord is located, in the direction of the axis A-A of the neck 4 between the lower end 6 of the thread and the body 7 of the bottle.

Le col 4 du flacon comporte, sur le cordon 5, au moins deux crans en saillie radialement vers l'extérieur, l'un de ces crans constituant une butée d'orientation 8 tandis que l'autre cran constitue un bossage 9 d'anti-dévissabilité.The neck 4 of the bottle has, on the cord 5, at least two notches projecting radially outwards, one of these notches constituting an orientation stop 8 while the other notch constitutes a boss 9 of anti - unscrewable.

Comme visible sur la figure 2, la butée 8 et le bossage 9 font saillie radialement vers l'extérieur au-delà de la surface radiale extérieure du filetage 3 du goulot.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the stop 8 and the boss 9 project radially outwards beyond the external radial surface of the thread 3 of the neck.

De préférence, comme visible sur la figure 2, deux paires de crans diamétralement opposées sont prévues sur le col 4, chacune des paires étant constituée d'une butée d'orientation 8, 8a et d'un bossage d'anti-dévissabilité 9, 9a.Preferably, as visible in FIG. 2, two pairs of diametrically opposite notches are provided on the neck 4, each of the pairs consisting of an orientation stop 8, 8a and an anti-unscrewability boss 9, 9a.

Le bouchon 2 comporte au moins un cran 10 en une matière légèrement déformable, notamment en matière plastique, qui, en fin de vissage, vient se loger entre les deux crans 8, 9 du col de flacon 4. Avantageusement, le bouchon 2 comporte deux crans 10, 10a diamétralement opposés associés à chaque paire de crans du col de flacon. Les crans 10, 10a du bouchon font saillie radialement vers l'intérieur du bouchon.The stopper 2 comprises at least one notch 10 of a slightly deformable material, in particular of plastic, which, at the end of screwing, is housed between the two notches 8, 9 of the neck of the bottle 4. Advantageously, the stopper 2 has two diametrically opposite notches 10, 10a associated with each pair of notches of the bottle neck. The notches 10, 10a of the plug protrude radially towards the inside of the plug.

La butée d'orientation 8, 8a et le bossage 9, 9a sont de forme différente.The orientation stop 8, 8a and the boss 9, 9a are of different shape.

La butée d'orientation 8, 8a a une hauteur h (suivant une direction parallèleà l'axe A-A) supérieure à la hauteur e (suivant la même direction) du cordon 5 ; la butée 8, 8a fait saillie, par rapport au cordon 5, du côté opposé au filetage 3, suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe A-A.The orientation stop 8, 8a has a height h (in a direction parallel to the axis A-A) greater than the height e (in the same direction) of the cord 5; the stop 8, 8a protrudes, relative to the cord 5, on the side opposite the thread 3, in a direction parallel to the axis A-A.

La butée 8, 8a peut descendre jusqu'à l'épaule 11 du flacon (comme illustré sur la figure 1), ou s'arrêter avant d'atteindre l'épaule 11 du flacon. Chaque butée d'orientation présente une face plane radiale 12 constituant une face d'arrêt propre à coopérer avec une face correspondante 13 (figure 2) prévue sur le cran 10 ou 10a du bouchon. L'autre face 14 de la butée 8 située en avant de la face 12 suivant le sens de vissage indiqué par la flèche F sur la figure 2 a une forme convexe vers l'extérieur et se raccorde progressivement à la surface radiale extérieure de la bague 5. On voit que la forme des butées 8, 8a est dissymétrique par rapport à un plan passant par l'axe A-A et par le milieu, suivant la direction périphérique, de la butée 8, 8a. L'arête 15 de raccordement des faces 12 et 14 est arrondie.The stop 8, 8a can descend to the shoulder 11 of the bottle (as illustrated in FIG. 1), or stop before reaching the shoulder 11 of the bottle. Each orientation stop has a radial planar face 12 constituting a stop face capable of cooperating with a corresponding face 13 (Figure 2) provided on the notch 10 or 10a of the plug. The other face 14 of the stop 8 located in front of the face 12 in the direction of screwing indicated by the arrow F in FIG. 2 has a shape that is convex towards the outside and progressively connects to the outer radial surface of the ring. 5. It can be seen that the shape of the stops 8, 8a is asymmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the axis AA and through the middle, in the peripheral direction, of the stop 8, 8a. The edge 15 connecting the faces 12 and 14 is rounded.

Les bossages 9, 9a, par contre, ont une forme arrondie symétrique par rapport à un plan passant par l'axe A-A et par le milieu du bossage suivant la direction périphérique. Ces bossages 9, 9a sont prévus uniquement sur le cordon 5 et ne font pas saillie suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe A-A, sur les faces transversales dudit cordon 5.The bosses 9, 9a, on the other hand, have a rounded shape symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the axis A-A and through the middle of the boss in the peripheral direction. These bosses 9, 9a are provided only on the bead 5 and do not project in a direction parallel to the axis A-A, on the transverse faces of said bead 5.

Les dimensions des crans 10, 10a du bouchon (voir figure 2) sont telles que ces crans viennent d'inscrire dans les espaces 16 compris entre les bossages 9, 9a et les butées 8, 8a en étant au contact simultanément avec la face 12 de la butée d'orientation et l'amorce du bossage 9, 9a.The dimensions of the notches 10, 10a of the plug (see FIG. 2) are such that these notches have just inscribed in the spaces 16 comprised between the bosses 9, 9a and the stops 8, 8a while being in contact simultaneously with the face 12 of the orientation stop and the initiation of the boss 9, 9a.

Comme visible sur la figure 2, les bossages 9, 9a sont situés, suivant le sens de vissage F du bouchon sur le col 4, avant les butées 8, 8a.As shown in Figure 2, the bosses 9, 9a are located, in the direction of screwing F of the plug on the neck 4, before the stops 8, 8a.

Le flacon 1 peut avoir une forme polyédrique, notamment à section transversale carrée ou rectangulaire, comme schématisé sur la figure 2. Le bouchon 2 a également une forme polyédrique, à section transversale sensiblement carrée selon la figure 2. Les crans 10, 10a sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe de ce bouchon et situés, chacun, au voisinage d'un angle intérieur de la section transversale du bouchon. Les crans 10, 10a sont donc situés sensiblement aux extrémités d'une diagonale de la section transversale du bouchon. La surface 17 située radialement vers l'intérieur de chaque cran 10, 10a est située légèrement à l'extérieur de la surface cylindrique enveloppant extérieurement le filetage 3 de telle sorte que lors de la mise en place du bouchon 2 sur le col du flacon, les crans 10, 10a n'interfèrent pas avec le filetage 3. Du fait que les crans 10, 10a sont prévus au voisinage d'un angle de la section transversale du bouchon, dans une zone relativement éloignée du contour du col 4, un espace suffisant existe pour la formation de ces crans sans qu'il soit nécessaire de prévoir une protubérance sur le contour extérieur du bouchon 2. Ce dernier peut donc avoir des faces extérieures sensiblement planes, sans protubérance à sa partie inférieure. Le filetage intérieur du bouchon 2 est prévu dans une cheminée (non visible sur les dessins) dont le rayon intérieur est plus petit que la distance des faces 17 à l'axe, du bouchon.The bottle 1 may have a polyhedral shape, in particular with a square or rectangular cross section, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2. The stopper 2 also has a polyhedral shape, with a substantially square cross section according to FIG. 2. The notches 10, 10a are symmetrical relative to the axis of this plug and located each in the vicinity of an interior angle of the cross section of the plug. The notches 10, 10a are therefore located substantially at the ends of a diagonal of the cross section of the plug. The surface 17 located radially inward of each notch 10, 10a is situated slightly outside the cylindrical surface externally enveloping the thread 3 so that when the stopper 2 is placed on the neck of the bottle, the notches 10, 10a do not interfere with the thread 3. Because the notches 10, 10a are provided in the vicinity of an angle of the cross section of the plug, in an area relatively distant from the contour of the neck 4, a space sufficient exists for the formation of these notches without the need to provide a protuberance on the outer contour of the plug 2. The latter can therefore have substantially flat outer faces, without protuberance at its lower part. The internal thread of the plug 2 is provided in a chimney (not visible in the drawings) whose internal radius is smaller than the distance from the faces 17 to the axis of the plug.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de bouchage est le suivant.The operation of the closure device is as follows.

La mise en place du 'bouchon 2 sur le col 4 du flacon est assuré par vissage. En fin de vissage, les crans mâles 10, 10a du bouchon faisant saillie vers l'intérieur viennent tout d'abord au contact des bossages arrondis 9, 9a. L'utilisateur sent alors une première résistance qu'il doit vaincre pour faire franchir les bossages 9, 9a par les crans 10, 10a. Ce franchissement est possible du fait que les bossages 10, 10a sont légèrement déformables ; en outre, les parois du bouchon 2 portant les bossages 10, 10a peuvent également se déformer légèrement.The establishment of the 'cap 2 on the neck 4 of the bottle is ensured by screwing. At the end of the screwing, the male notches 10, 10a of the plug protruding inwards come first into contact with the rounded bosses 9, 9a. The user then feels a first resistance which he must overcome to make the bosses 9, 9a pass through the notches 10, 10a. This crossing is possible because the bosses 10, 10a are slightly deformable; in addition, the walls of the plug 2 carrying the bosses 10, 10a can also deform slightly.

Lorsque les bossages 9, 9a ont été franchis par les crans 10, 10a, le bouchon 2 occupe la position représentée sur la figure 2 et les faces 13 des crans sont en contact avec les faces planes 12 des butées 8, 8a. Le bouchon 2 est alors parfaitement arrêté dans une position pratiquement infranchissable sans destruction des crans 10, 10a.When the bosses 9, 9a have been crossed by the notches 10, 10a, the plug 2 occupies the position shown in FIG. 2 and the faces 13 of the notches are in contact with the planar faces 12 of the stops 8, 8a. The plug 2 is then perfectly stopped in a practically impassable position without destroying the notches 10, 10a.

Le dévissage fortuit du bouchon est empêché par la coopération des crans 10,10a et des bossages 9, 9a pour le sens de rotation inverse de celui représenté par la flèche F sur la figure 2.The fortuitous unscrewing of the plug is prevented by the cooperation of the notches 10, 10a and the bosses 9, 9a for the opposite direction of rotation from that represented by the arrow F in FIG. 2.

Pour le dévissage du bouchon, il faut exercer sur ce dernier une force suffisante pour faire franchir, par les crans 10, 10a, les bossages 9, 9a en sens inverse de la flèche F.For the unscrewing of the plug, it is necessary to exert a sufficient force on the latter to cause the notches 10, 10a to pass through the bosses 9, 9a in the opposite direction to the arrow F.

Ce dispositif de bouchage peut être prévu sur des bouchons à vis quart de tour ou plusieurs tours puisque le ou les crans du bouchon ne viennent s'encliqueter entre le bossage et la butée d'orientation du col de flacon qu'en fin de vissage total du bouchon.This closure device can be provided on quarter-turn screw caps or several turns since the stopper (s) of the stopper only snap between the boss and the orientation stop of the neck of the bottle at the end of total screwing of the plug.

Il est à noter que le bossage ainsi que la butée d'orientation sont prévus sur le col du flacon qui est obtenu par moulage avec une bonne précision. La partie restante du flacon généralement obtenue par soufflage, présente souvent des caractéristiques dimensionnelles moins précises que celles du flacon.It should be noted that the boss as well as the orientation stop are provided on the neck of the bottle which is obtained by molding with good precision. The remaining part of the bottle, generally obtained by blowing, often has less precise dimensional characteristics than those of the bottle.

Le bouchon est généralement réalisé en matière plastique moulée et les crans 10, 10a font partie intégrante de ce bouchon.The plug is generally made of molded plastic and the notches 10, 10a are an integral part of this plug.
