Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention se rapporte aux domaines des emballages. L'invention porte en particulier sur un opercule pour un contenant, par exemple un contenant pour produits alimentaires, produits cosmétiques, produits à usage médical, etc. L'invention porte en outre sur un bouchon et sur un contenant munis d'un tel opercule.The invention relates to the fields of packaging. The invention relates in particular to a lid for a container, for example a container for food products, cosmetics, products for medical use, etc. The invention further relates to a cap and a container provided with such a cap.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART

Certains produits sont conditionnés dans des contenants fermés par un bouchon qui, parfois, surmonte un opercule. La présence d'un opercule améliore la durée de conservation du produit et certifie indirectement au consommateur l'authenticité d'un contenu. En fonction des besoins, les opercules sont formés dans des matériaux souples et, parfois, sont formés par un empilement de plusieurs couches solidaires les unes des autres. En outre, l'utilisation des opercules dans le cadre de l'authentification de contenu implique qu'ils sont généralement formés en des matériaux fragiles, si bien que leur détérioration irrémédiable est nécessaire pour accéder au produit.Some products are packaged in containers closed with a stopper, which sometimes surmounts a lid. The presence of a seal enhances the shelf life of the product and indirectly certifies to the consumer the authenticity of a content. Depending on the needs, the covers are formed in flexible materials and, sometimes, are formed by a stack of several layers integral with each other. In addition, the use of the caps in the context of content authentication implies that they are generally formed of fragile materials, so that their irremediable deterioration is necessary to access the product.

Certains fraudeurs ont toutefois utilisé de très fines seringues pour siphonner et remplacer le contenu de certains contenants sans détériorer les opercules. Des opercules qui ne prémunissent pas contre ce genre de manipulations ne remplissent pas leur rôle en matière d'authentification d'un contenu.Some fraudsters, however, have used very fine syringes to siphon and replace the contents of some containers without damaging the covers. Lids that do not protect against such manipulations do not fulfill their role in authenticating content.

La figure 1 montre un opercule 1 disposé sur un contenant 2, dans le cas présent un contenant pour produits alimentaires, en l'occurrence une bouteille destinée au stockage d'un produit alimentaire liquide ou visqueux. Bien que représenté sur la figure 1 au sommet du goulot d'une bouteille 2, l'opercule 1 selon l'invention peut être utilisé avec des contenants pour tous types de produits, par exemple des contenants pour produits cosmétiques, pour des produits destinés à un usage médical, et quelque qu'en soit la forme, en forme de bouteille, de pot, de jarre, etc.The figure 1 shows a lid 1 disposed on a container 2, in this case a container for food products, in this case a bottle for storing a liquid or viscous food product. Although represented on the figure 1 at the top of the neck of a bottle 2, the lid 1 according to the invention can be used with containers for all types of products, for example containers for cosmetic products, for products intended for medical use, and some in the form, in the form of bottle, pot, jar, etc.

Comme il est habituellement d'usage, l'opercule 1 selon l'invention peut être collé, thermoscellé, ou simplement posé au sommet du contenant 2.As is customary for use, the cover 1 according to the invention can be glued, heat-sealed, or simply placed at the top of the container 2.

Alternativement, l'opercule 1 selon l'invention peut être solidaire ou faire partie intégrante d'un bouchon ou d'un couvercle destiné à fermer un contenant.Alternatively, the lid 1 according to the invention may be integral or integral with a cap or a lid for closing a container.

La structure de l'opercule 1 selon l'invention est représentée sur la figure 2. Celle-ci se présente sous la forme d'un empilement de plusieurs couches c1, c2 et c3 solidaires les unes des autres.The structure of the lid 1 according to the invention is represented on the figure 2 . This is in the form of a stack of several layers c1, c2 and c3 integral with each other.

Une première de ces couches c1 comprend un premier circuit supportant un dispositif de contrôle 3, incluant un émetteur et un récepteur de signaux radiofréquences et connecté à une première antenne 4, de préférence une antenne de type « Tamper Evident », qui est conçue de telle sorte à subir des dommages irréversibles en cas de manipulation. Le dispositif de contrôle 3 est configuré pour déterminer l'intégrité de la première antenne 4 et, au cas où l'intégrité de l'antenne est altérée, pour agir en émettant un signal radiofréquences spécifique et/ou modifier des données de configuration qui lui sont propres.A first of these layers c1 comprises a first circuit supporting a control device 3, including a radiofrequency transmitter and receiver and connected to a first antenna 4, preferably a "Tamper Evident" type antenna, which is designed such that irreversible damage if handled. The control device 3 is configured to determine the integrity of the first antenna 4 and, in case the integrity of the antenna is altered, to act by emitting a specific radio frequency signal and / or modify configuration data which it are clean.

Le dispositif de contrôle 3 est apte à émettre des signaux radiofréquences lorsqu'il est stimulé par un lecteur qui l'alimente en énergie. En fonction des besoins, le dispositif de contrôle 3 est conçu de telle sorte que les signaux qu'il émet peuvent être captés à plusieurs dizaine de centimètres, voire quelques dizaines de mètres. De préférence, le circuit de contrôle 3 comprend une deuxième antenne (non représentée). Un tel dispositif est donc approprié pour être utilisé au sein d'un système de gestion d'inventaire automatisé.The control device 3 is able to emit radio frequency signals when it is stimulated by a reader which supplies it with energy. As needed, the control device 3 is designed so that the signals it emits can be picked up several tens of centimeters, even a few tens of meters. Preferably, the control circuit 3 comprises a second antenna (not shown). Such a device is therefore suitable for use within an automated inventory management system.

Une deuxième couche c2 de l'opercule 1 comprend une poche 5 étanche renfermant une substance liquide ou visqueuse. De préférence, la substance contient un colorant visible à l'oeil nu. Alternativement, la substance contient un colorant invisible à l'oeil nu mais qui peut être révélé au moyen d'un dispositif approprié.A second layer c2 of the lid 1 comprises a sealed pocket 5 enclosing a liquid or viscous substance. Preferably, the substance contains a dye visible to the naked eye. Alternatively, the substance contains a dye invisible to the naked eye but which can be revealed by means of an appropriate device.

Alternativement, la poche 5 s'étend sur seulement une partie de la surface de l'opercule 1.Preferably, the pocket 5 extends over the entire surface of the lid 1. Alternatively, the pocket 5 extends over only a portion of the surface of the lid 1.

Une troisième couche c3 de l'opercule 1 comprend un deuxième circuit supportant un dispositif de communication en champ proche (NFC - Near Field Communication) 6 approprié pour communiquer avec un appareil mobile, par exemple un smartphone. De préférence, le dispositif de communication en champ proche 6 inclut une troisième antenne 7. Le dispositif de communication en champ proche 6 est ainsi configuré pour, entre autre, communiquer avec un appareil mobile dans le but de permettre à l'authentification du produit sur le point de vente par un consommateur.A third layer c3 of the cover 1 comprises a second circuit supporting a near field communication device (NFC) 6 suitable for communicating with a mobile device, for example a smartphone. Preferably, the near-field communication device 6 includes a third antenna 7. The near-field communication device 6 is thus configured, inter alia, to communicate with a mobile device in order to allow the authentication of the product on point of sale by a consumer.

Une fois disposé sur un contenant, l'opercule selon l'invention permet de savoir si le contenu stocké à l'intérieur du contenant a été modifié au moyen d'une seringue. En effet, si une seringue est introduite à travers le bouchon, la poche 5 est percée et la substance contenue au sein de la poche 5 est libérée.Once placed on a container, the seal according to the invention makes it possible to know if the content stored inside the container has been modified by means of a syringe. Indeed, if a syringe is introduced through the stopper, the pocket 5 is pierced and the substance contained within the pocket 5 is released.
