Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un bouchon à vis et à bande d'inviolabilité sécable pour le bouchage de bouteilles.The present invention relates to a screw cap and a tamper-evident band breakable for corking bottles.
Les bouchons de ce type sont bien connus, ils sont formés principalement d'une capsule et d'une ceinture d'inviolabilité annulaire reliée à la jupe de la capsule par une pluralité de pontets venus de moulage et sécables sous l'effet d'un dévissage.Corks of this type are well known, they are formed mainly a capsule and an annular inviolability belt connected to the skirt of the capsule by a plurality of bridges coming from molding and breakable under the effect of a unscrewing.
Un bouchon de ce type est par exemple décrit dans le brevet américain US 4,402,418. Il se caractérise par une ceinture prolongée par plusieurs languettes articulées, repliables vers l'intérieur du bouchon et venant en butée sous la contre-bague du col de la bouteille lors du vissage du bouchon, provoquant ainsi la rupture des pontets au moment du premier dévissage.A plug of this type is for example described in the American patent US 4,402,418. It is characterized by a belt extended by several tabs articulated, foldable towards the inside of the stopper and coming into abutment under the counter ring the neck of the bottle when screwing the cap, causing breakage bridges at the time of the first unscrewing.
Dans la pratique, ce système et les autres systèmes connus présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients : les languettes se vrillent lors de leur mise en place ou se déforment lors de l'effort de dévissage et la rupture des pontets ne se produit pas.In practice, this system and the other known systems have a number of drawbacks: the tongues twist when they are put in place or become deformed during the unscrewing effort and the trigger guard breaks does not occur not.
L'invention pallie les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
Elle consiste en un bouchon à vis et à bande d'inviolabilité annulaire et sécable pour le bouchage de bouteilles à col comportant une contre-bague, bouchon du type comportant des pontets sécables venus de moulage et reliant entre-elles la capsule et la ceinture formant le bouchon, caractérisé en ce que la ceinture est prolongée par une pluralité de languettes, elles-mêmes prolongées sensiblement perpendiculairement par des pétales, chacun affaibli par au moins une fente, les ensembles languette et pétales étant repliables vers l'intérieur du bouchon lors de sa mise en place de façon à positionner les pétales entre la face interne de la ceinture et la face externe de la partie du col de la bouteille située sous la contre-bague de la bouteille.It consists of a screw cap and an annular tamper-evident band and divisible for corking bottles with necks having a counter-ring, stopper of the type comprising breakable bridges from molding and interconnecting the capsule and the belt forming the stopper, characterized in that the belt is extended by a plurality of tabs, themselves substantially extended perpendicularly by petals, each weakened by at least one slit, the tongue and petal assemblies being foldable towards the inside of the cap when it is placement so as to position the petals between the internal face of the belt and the external face of the part of the neck of the bottle situated under the counter-ring of the bottle.
On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation préféré non limitatif représenté sur la figure unique annexée.The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description of a preferred nonlimiting embodiment shown in the single appended figure.
La figure unique est une vue d'ensemble d'un bouchon conforme à l'invention.The single figure is an overview of a cap according to the invention.
Un bouchon selon l'invention est formé d'une capsule (1) reliée à une ceinture d'inviolabilité (2) annulaire reliée à une jupe (3) par une pluralité de pontets sécables (4) venus de moulage.A stopper according to the invention is formed by a capsule (1) connected to a annular inviolability belt (2) connected to a skirt (3) by a plurality of bridges breakable (4) from molding.
Sur la figure, la ceinture (2) est prolongée dans une direction parallèle à l'axe du bouchon par des languettes (5), elles-mêmes prolongées perpendiculairement vers l'exténeur par des pétales (6) affaiblis en leur centre par une fente ou une séparation (7). Il serait également possible de réaliser plusieurs fentes ou séparations par pétale.In the figure, the belt (2) is extended in a direction parallel to the axis of the plug by tongues (5), themselves extended perpendicularly towards the exterior by petals (6) weakened in their center by a slot or a partition (7). It would also be possible to carry out several slits or separations by petal.
Lors de la fermeture de la bouteille sur la machine d'embouteillage, les languettes et les pétales articulés, partiellement repliés vers l'intérieur du bouchon se positionnent parfaitement entre la face interne de la ceinture (2) et la face externe de la partie du col située sous la contre-bague.When closing the bottle on the bottling machine, the articulated tabs and petals, partially folded inwards towards the inside of the stopper perfectly position between the internal face of the belt (2) and the external face of the part of the neck located under the counter ring.
La présence d'une ou plusieurs fentes ou séparations dans les pétales permettent à ceux-ci de venir épouser parfaitement la forme cylindrique du col et garantir la fonction d'arrêt en translation lors de l'effort d'arrachage du bouchon vers le haut.The presence of one or more slits or partitions in the petals allow them to perfectly fit the cylindrical shape of the neck and guarantee the stop function in translation during the effort of tearing off the plug to the top.
