Abstract
Il s'agit d'un moyen adhésif appliqué sur la surface externe du conteneur (2) et contre lequel est appliquée par pliage et pression la corne supérieure (1) sur laquelle est ménagée l'ouverture (5).It is an adhesive means applied to the external surface of the container (2) and against which is applied by folding and pressing the upper horn (1) on which the opening (5) is formed.
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un perfectionnement apporté aux moyens de fermeture après usage d'un conteneur tel que sachet ou récipient souple ou semi-rigide, ledit sachet ayant été au préalable ouvert, par découpe ou arrachage d'une zone préperforée au niveau d'une corne supérieure formant bec verseur.The present invention relates to an improvement made to the closure means after use of a container such as a sachet or flexible or semi-rigid container, said sachet having been previously opened, by cutting or tearing off a pre-perforated area at level 'an upper horn forming a spout.
On connait des conteneurs pour le conditionnement des liquides, en particulier liquides alimentaires, consistant essentiellement en un sachet souple ou semi-rigide. Ces conteneurs sont de volume variable, mais généralement, en particulier lorsqu'ils, contiennent des boissons, de environ 1 litre. Le contenu n'est donc pas amené à être consommé par l'utilisateur en une seule fois, et se pose donc le problème de la fermeture du conteneur après un premier usage et après des usages successifs:Containers are known for packaging liquids, in particular food liquids, consisting essentially of a flexible or semi-rigid sachet. These containers are of variable volume, but generally, especially when they contain drinks, of about 1 liter. The content is therefore not intended to be consumed by the user all at once, and there is therefore the problem of closing the container after a first use and after successive uses:
L'ouverture des conteneurs de ce type peut être réalisée de plusieurs manières.There are several ways to open containers of this type.
De manière traditionnelle, la découpe d'une corne est effectuée par l'utilisateur avec des ciseaux. On obtient une ouverture relativement large, qui présente l'inconvénient d'être aléatoire.Traditionally, the cutting of a horn is carried out by the user with scissors. A relatively wide opening is obtained, which has the drawback of being random.
On a également proposé de réaliser une zone de préperforation, avec languette adhésive d'arrachage de ladite zone préperforée. Dans ce cas, la zone d'ouverture est localisée et de forme constante d'un conteneur à un autre et d'un utilisateur à un autre.It has also been proposed to produce a pre-perforation zone, with an adhesive tear-off tab for said pre-perforated zone. In this case, the opening area is localized and of constant shape from one container to another and from one user to another.
Pour les conteneurs actuellement utilisés il n'existe pas de système de fermeture spécifique. Ceci est dommageable pour le liquide subsistant qui peut s'oxyder à l'air ou se détériorer.For the containers currently used there is no specific closure system. This is harmful to the remaining liquid which can oxidize in the air or deteriorate.
Le besoin se fait donc sentir d'un moyen de fermeture pour des conteneurs de ce type, qui soit simple, fiable, peu onéreux et qui permette de garantir les qualités gustatives et organoleptiques du produit ainsi conditionné après ouverture du conteneur.The need therefore arises for a closure means for containers of this type, which is simple, reliable, inexpensive and which makes it possible to guarantee the taste and organoleptic qualities of the product thus conditioned after opening the container.
Conformément à l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu avec un moyen de fermeture après usage d'un conteneur tel que sachet ou récipient souple ou semi-rigide, ledit sachet ayant été au préalable ouvert par découpe ou arrachage d'une zone préperforée, au niveau d'une corne supérieure formant bec verseur, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste en un moyen adhésif appliqué sur la surface externe du conteneur et contre lequel est appliquée par pliage et pression la corne supérieure sur laquelle est ménagée l'ouverture.According to the invention, this result is obtained with a closure means after use of a container such as a sachet or flexible or semi-rigid container, said sachet having been previously opened by cutting or tearing off a pre-perforated area, at level of an upper horn forming a spout, characterized in that it consists of an adhesive means applied to the external surface of the container and against which is applied by folding and pressing the upper horn on which the opening is formed.
L'ouverture pourra être indifféremment de type aléatoire, comme décrit précédemment, ou du type à préperforation.The opening can be either random type, as described above, or pre-perforation type.
L'adhésif pourra être appliqué sous des formes multiples, par exemple par points ou en ruban.The adhesive can be applied in multiple forms, for example by dots or tape.
De manière préférentielle, la corne supérieure devant être découpée sera, de fabrication, repliée contre le conteneur et maintenue en position par ledit moyen adhésif.Preferably, the upper horn to be cut will, during manufacture, be folded against the container and held in position by said adhesive means.
On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description ci-après de deux modes non limitatifs de mise en oeuvre, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:
- - La figure 1 illustre un mode de réalisation avec ouverture par préperforation et fermeture par points de colle, le conteneur étant représenté en vue perspective partielle au niveau de la corne.de versage,
- - la figure 2 illustre le conteneur de la figure 1, en position fermée,
- - la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 avec ruban adhésif,
- - la figure 4 illustre le conteneur de la figure 3 en position fermée.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment with opening by pre-perforation and closing by dots of adhesive, the container being shown in partial perspective view at the level of the pouring horn,
- FIG. 2 illustrates the container of FIG. 1, in the closed position,
- - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 with adhesive tape,
- - Figure 4 illustrates the container of Figure 3 in the closed position.
On se référera tout d'abord à la figure 1. On a représenté la corne supérieure (1) d'un conteneur (2) représenté de manière partielle. Ce conteneur est de structure par ailleurs indifférente.We will first refer to Figure 1. There is shown the upper horn (1) of a container (2) shown partially. This container has an otherwise indifferent structure.
L'ouverture du conteneur est réalisée sur ce mode de mise en oeuvre par une languette adhésive (3) recouvrant une zone préperforée (4).The container is opened in this mode of implementation by an adhesive tab (3) covering a pre-punched area (4).
Cette zone préperforée (4), une fois arrachée, détermine une ouverture de versage (5), représentée à la figure 2.This pre-perforated area (4), once torn off, determines a pouring opening (5), shown in FIG. 2.
Pour réaliser la fermeture, on dispose sur la partie supérieure du conteneur deux points d'adhésif de contact (6). Il peut y avoir indifféremment un ou une pluralité de points d'adhésif, selon une pluralité de répartitions géométriques possibles. Il peut également s'agir d'une bande adhésive.To make the closure, there are two contact adhesive points (6) on the upper part of the container. There can be either one or a plurality of points of adhesive, according to a plurality of possible geometric distributions. It can also be an adhesive strip.
Lorsque le conteneur a été ouvert, la fermeture est obtenue en rabattant la corne (1) sur l'adhésif (6), ce qui a été représenté à la figure 2.When the container has been opened, the closure is obtained by folding the horn (1) over the adhesive (6), which has been shown in FIG. 2.
Le même résultat peut être obtenu avec une ouverture du type aléatoire, obtenue par découpe avec des ciseaux.The same result can be obtained with an opening of the random type, obtained by cutting with scissors.
On a représenté une variante aux figures 3 et 4, dans laquelle l'adhésif est en bande (7) et où la corne (1) est rabattue non pas sur le dessus du conteneur mais sur la face avant de celui-ci.A variant is shown in Figures 3 and 4, in which the adhesive is in a strip (7) and where the horn (1) is folded down not on the top of the container but on the front face thereof.
