Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture pour récipient.The present invention relates to a closure device for container.
Plus précisément, l'invention s'intéresse au domaine des dispositifs de fermeture comprenant un bouchon dont la paroi latérale interne est pourvue d'éléments de filetage destinés à coopérer par vissage avec des éléments de filetage complémentaires portés par la paroi externe du col du récipient.More specifically, the invention relates to the field of closing devices comprising a plug, the side wall of which internal is provided with threading elements intended to cooperate by screwing with complementary thread elements carried by the outer wall of the container neck.
Ce type de dispositif assure généralement une étanchéité satisfaisante qui est renforcée, le cas échéant, avec un joint monté dans le fond du bouchon.This type of device generally provides a seal satisfactory which is reinforced, if necessary, with a seal mounted in the bottom of the cap.
Cependant, le conditionnement de boissons carbonatées implique l'élévation de la pression résiduelle à l'intérieur du récipient, ce qui génère, au dévissage du bouchon, un échappement gazeux important accompagné de fuites de liquide non maítrisées.However, the packaging of carbonated drinks involves raising the residual pressure inside the container, which generates a gas exhaust when the cap is unscrewed important accompanied by uncontrolled liquid leaks.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ce problème technique de manière satisfaisante.The object of the present invention is to solve this problem technique satisfactorily.
Ce but est atteint au moyen d'un dispositif du type précédent mais dans lequel toutefois les éléments de filetage du bouchon ou du col sont formés de nervures au moins partiellement hélicoïdales dont la section comporte localement des créneaux destinés à recevoir des tronçons de filets formant les éléments de filetage portés en regard par le col ou le bouchon en vue d'assurer la retenue axiale du bouchon sur le col en position intermédiaire d'ouverture et le dégazage du récipient.This object is achieved by means of a device of the preceding type but in which however the thread elements of the plug or of the neck are formed of at least partially helical ribs, the section locally has slots intended to receive sections of threads forming the threading elements carried opposite by the neck or the stopper in order to ensure the axial retention of the stopper on the neck in the intermediate open position and the degassing of the container.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la distance séparant les extrémités des nervures est supérieure à la largeur des tronçons de filets.According to an advantageous characteristic, the distance separating the ends of the ribs is greater than the width of the sections of threads.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le bouchon comporte, en outre, une bande inférieure d'inviolabilité destinée à coopérer avec une collerette périphérique portée par le récipient sous les éléments de filetage du col.According to a particular embodiment, the stopper comprises, in addition, a lower tamper-evident strip intended to cooperate with a peripheral flange carried by the container under the elements of neck thread.
Selon une autre caractéristique, les contours des créneaux sont complémentaires du profil du bord de contact des tronçons de filets.According to another characteristic, the contours of the slots are complementary to the profile of the contact edge of the thread sections.
Selon une variante, les nervures sont portées par le col et les tronçons de filets par le bouchon ; les créneaux étant réalisés sur la face inférieure desdites nervures. According to a variant, the ribs are carried by the neck and the sections of fillets by the plug; the slots being made on the face lower of said ribs.
Selon une autre variante, les nervures sont portées par le bouchon et les tronçons de filets par le col, les créneaux étant réalisés sur la face supérieure desdites nervures.According to another variant, the ribs are carried by the plug and sections of threads through the neck, the slots being made on the upper face of said ribs.
Selon encore une autre variante, les tronçons de filets sont répartis en groupes de deux tronçons adjacents séparés par un angle d'environ 5°.According to yet another variant, the sections of nets are divided into groups of two adjacent sections separated by an angle about 5 °.
De préférence, les tronçons de filets sont répartis en trois groupe séparés les uns des autres d'un angle de 120°.Preferably, the sections of nets are divided into three groups separated from each other by an angle of 120 °.
Selon une autre variante la longueur angulaire d'un tronçon de filets est d'environ 36°.According to another variant, the angular length of a section of threads is about 36 °.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet de disposer d'une position stable du bouchon correspondant à une position d'ouverture intermédiaire. Dans cette position, le bouchon libère un passage étroit permettant un échappement gazeux contrôlé tout en retenant le liquide ou tout au moins en limitant les fuites.The device of the invention makes it possible to have a position stable plug corresponding to an open position intermediate. In this position, the plug releases a narrow passage allowing a controlled gaseous exhaust while retaining the liquid or at least by limiting leaks.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 est destiné à assurer l'obturation d'un récipient et plus particulièrement d'un récipient contenant une boisson carbonatée.The device shown in Figure 1 is intended to ensure closing a container and more particularly a container containing a carbonated drink.
Ce dispositif comprend un bouchon 1 constitué d'un fond 10 et
d'une jupe latérale 11 dont la paroi latérale interne est pourvue
d'éléments de filetage 12.This device comprises a
Ces éléments de filetage 12 sont aptes et destinés à coopérer par
vissage avec des éléments de filetage complémentaires 22 portés par la
paroi interne du col 2 du récipient R (représenté partiellement). Le
bouchon comporte, en outre ici, une bande inférieure d'inviolabilité 13
destinée à coopérer avec une collerette périphérique 23 portée par le
récipient R sous les éléments 22 de filetage du col 2.These
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, les
éléments de filetage 22 du col 2 (ou les éléments 11 du bouchon 1 dans
le mode de réalisation de la figure 4) sont formés de nervures au moins
partiellement hélicoïdales n dont la section transversale comporte
localement des créneaux c. Les créneaux c sont réalisés sur la face
inférieure des nervures n. Les créneaux c sont destinés à recevoir les
tronçons t de filets qui forment les éléments de filetage 12 portés en
regard par le bouchon 1 (ou les éléments 22 portés par le col 2 -
figure 4). La distance séparant les extrémités des nervures n est
légèrement supérieure à la largeur des tronçons t de filets.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the
Lors de la phase initiale d'assemblage, la coopération entre les
nervures n et les tronçons t de filets permet d'effectuer un vissage
traditionnel du bouchon 1 sur le col 2 jusqu'à ce que le fond 10 du
bouchon (ou un joint non représenté) vienne en butée contre le bord
supérieur 20 du col 2, comme représenté sur la figure 2a, pour assurer
l'étanchéité du récipient R.During the initial assembly phase, cooperation between
ribs n and t sections of threads allow for screwing
traditional of the
A partir de cette position d'obturation, le dévissage du bouchon
1 conduit à une position d'ouverture intermédiaire. Dans laquelle les
tronçons t viennent se loger dans les créneaux c, comme représenté sur
la figure 2b.From this closed position, unscrewing the
Dans cette position stable, le bouchon 1 est calé en rotation par
rapport au col 2 et le fond 10 libère au dessus du bord 20 du récipient
un passage pour l'échappement du gaz qui était jusqu'alors emprisonné
dans le récipient.In this stable position, the
Compte tenu de la faible section du passage, le débit gazeux est faible, ce qui permet un contrôle et une maítrise du dégazage.Given the small cross-section of the passage, the gas flow is low, which allows control and control of degassing.
Le dégazage ne s'accompagne ainsi d'aucun débordement brutal de liquide.The degassing is therefore not accompanied by any sudden overflow liquid.
La pleine ouverture peut ensuite être obtenue en poursuivant le
dévissage du bouchon 1 comme représenté sur la figure 2c. L'effort de
rotation exercé par le consommateur sur la jupe 11 du bouchon 1 se
traduit par le glissement avec guidage des tronçons t de filets d'abord en
sortie sur les contours des créneaux c puis sur la face inférieure
hélicoïdale des nervures n.Full opening can then be obtained by continuing the
unscrewing the
La figure 3 représente les positions angulaires relatives des
tronçons t de filets sur la paroi latérale interne du bouchon 1. La
longueur angulaire β d'un tronçon t est d'environ 36°.FIG. 3 represents the relative angular positions of the
sections t of threads on the inner side wall of the
L'écart angulaire α entre les extrémités respectives de deux tronçons t adjacents est d'environ 5°.The angular difference α between the respective ends of two adjacent t sections is approximately 5 °.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le bouchon 1 est pourvu
de six tronçons t répartis en trois groupes de deux tronçons séparés les
uns des autres d'un angle γ de 120°.In the embodiment shown, the
En outre, la distance séparant les extrémités respectives de deux tronçons t adjacents est légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la nervure n.In addition, the distance between the respective ends of two adjacent t sections is slightly greater than the width of the rib n.
La position des créneaux c sur les nervures n est déterminée de
façon à obtenir, en position d'ouverture intermédiaire un passage entre
le fond 10 du bouchon 1 et le bord 20 du récipient R dont les
dimensions (et en particulier la hauteur) permettent un dégazage à faible
débit.The position of the slots c on the ribs n is determined by
so as to obtain, in the intermediate open position, a passage between
the
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, les nervures n sont
portées par le bouchon 1 en formant les éléments de filetage 12.In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the ribs n are
carried by the
