Definitions

  • the invention relates to a new type of screw closure cap with tamper-evident band.
  • Screw closure caps with a one-piece plastic tamper-evident band are well known. Essentially, these devices essentially comprise a screw cap proper and an annular seat belt connected to the skirt of the capsule by a succession of bridges, coming from molding, which can be broken under the effect of unscrewing.
  • closure caps of the type in question in which the annular safety belt has on its internal face tongues articulated at the base of the belt, intended to be folded on the inside to come into abutment against a projection of the neck, in particular the neck collar (see for example document FR-A-1,213,931, 2,290,364, EP-A-0049,876, GB-A-2,033,350 and US-A-4,506,795 and 4,595,110).
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is aimed at an improved closure cap of the type in question which is easier to install.
  • This screw closure cap with a tamper-evident band for a neck bottle comprising a thread and a counter-ring, of the type constituted by a capsule proper, the skirt of which is provided with an internal thread cooperating with the neck thread and by a annular tamper-evident belt, connected on the top to the bottom of the skirt by a plurality of breakable bridges, and the bottom of which has a plurality of articulated tabs, folded against the internal face of the belt, to come into abutment on the counter ring of the neck and go beyond the edge of this counter ring, is characterized in that the tongues have a constant section and comprise two parts, namely a first curved part, connected to the bottom of the belt, extended by a second rectilinear part, the connecting portion between these two parts being intended to come s '' press the counter ring, while the free rectilinear portion is intended to come to rest against the internal face of the belt.
  • the top of the internal face of the belt has a shoulder against which the end of the straight part bears.
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a closure cap according to the invention.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show in detail the characteristic tabs of the invention, respectively placed in a bottle ( Figure 2) and molded ( Figure 3).
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment
  • FIG. 5 shows in detail the characteristic tongue of the invention in the bracing position.
  • a closure cap according to the invention is intended for a bottle, designated by the general reference (2), with a neck (3) comprising a thread (4) and a counter ring (5).
  • the reference (6) designates a sealing ring intended to come to bear on the top of the neck, while the reference (7) designates a sealing skirt intended to come to bear on the internal face of the neck.
  • This closure cap (1) essentially consists of a capsule proper constituted by a ceiling (10) and an annular skirt (11), the internal face (12) of which has a thread (13) cooperating with the thread (4 ) of the cervix.
  • the capsule (1) also comprises an annular inviolability belt (20) connected on the top (21) to the bottom (14) of the skirt (11) by a succession of breakable bridges (22, 23) regularly spaced, obtained directly molding.
  • the bottom (25) of the belt (20) has a succession of characteristic tabs (30) also regularly spaced and of predetermined width depending on the intended application.
  • these tongues (30) have a constant thickness over substantially their entire length.
  • these tongues (30) essentially comprise two parts respectively a first part (31) curved, connected to the bottom (25) of the belt (20) and extended by a second straight part (32), the connection portion (33) between these two parts (31, 32) being intended to come to bear on the counter-ring (5).
  • Figure 3 shows in detail the tabs such as molding and before screwing
  • Figure 2 shows the same tab in the screwed position.
  • the connection portion (33) is supported on the counter ring (5).
  • the skirt (11) is unscrewed, the portion (33) bearing strongly on the counter ring (5), the curved portion (30) tends to bend in the volume V defined between the counter ring (5) and the bottom of the inviolability belt (20).
  • the second rectilinear part (32) slides on the internal face (24) of the belt (20). It follows a frank rupture of the bridges (21).
  • the top of the internal face (24) of the annular inviolability belt (20) has a recess (40) in which, in the screwing position, is housed l end of the straight part (32) of the tongue (30).
  • the characteristic tongues (30) have a section of constant thickness to ensure better locking.
  • the tongue (30) is compressed, first of all by being supported by the portion connection (33) on the base (5) of the counter ring. It follows that the tongues (30) deform by bracing (see Figure 5) by bringing the two ends of the curved portion. The diameter of the portion of a circle formed by these tongues (30) is thus reduced. This increases the resistance applied to the breakable bridges (22). It then follows, when the time comes, a frank rupture of these bridges (22). During this whole movement, the second rectilinear part (32) of the tongues slides on the internal wall (24) of the belt (20) to ensure good deformation.
  • these capsules are in one piece and made of plastic, such as in particular polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • This type of capsule can be successfully used in all known applications of these screw closure capsules, such as for example for beverages, pharmaceuticals or others.
