Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-eclipsing spout closure cap for containers, such as plastic, glass or metal tubes and vials.
  • plastic tubes are fitted with closure systems, such as screw caps separating from the tube, tamper-evident capsules with a vertical tip to be cut and possibly re-sealable and service capsules.
  • closure systems such as screw caps separating from the tube, tamper-evident capsules with a vertical tip to be cut and possibly re-sealable and service capsules.
  • service capsule designates the closure systems which remain integral with the body of the tube and which require a minimum of handling.
  • Service capsules of this type are, for example, articulated lever capsules, capsules with hinged cover and capsules with a communication hole offset on the top of the capsule.
  • the capsule body 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is cylindrical in shape and has a central groove 2 which passes diametrically through the upper plate of said capsule body and has a rectangular section. One of the ends 3 of the tray groove is closed. Given the cylindrical shape of the capsule body, the central groove has substantially the shape of a "U"
  • the capsule body also has an orifice 4 to ensure the exit of the product contained in the container provided with the closure capsule.
  • This orifice 4 is located in the center of the body of the capsule 1 and is advantageously provided with a sealing ring 5.
  • the capsule body 1 also comprises means for fixing or hooking the cover; these means may for example be constituted by a circular groove 6 preferably located at the bottom of the capsule body.
  • the capsule body 1 of the closure system according to the invention is adapted to the container to be closed; for example, it may consist of the ring of a tube 7, as shown by way of illustration in the accompanying drawings. It can also be any capsule for a glass vial or metal container, the capsule being fixed to said container whether or not in solidarity.
  • the pouring spout which constitutes another element of the closure cap according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped 8 of which the two ends 9 and 10 are rounded; in the remainder of this description, these ends 9 and 10 will be respectively called front 9 and rear 10 of the pouring spout.
  • This parallelepiped has dimensions such that it can be housed in the groove 2 of the capsule body, the lateral faces of said parallelepiped being provided with guide means II, for example guide rods.
  • the spout has in its internal part an outlet pipe 12 and 13 of the product contained in the container provided with the closure system of the invention.
  • This pipe consists of two portions, one 12 passing longitudinally through the parallelepiped from the front 9 of the pouring spout to the second portion 13, which is perpendicular to it, is located towards the rear 10 of the spout and leads to the underside of said spout.
  • the rear 10 of the spout is advantageously hollowed out so that it acts as a leaf spring 14.
  • the pouring spout On its upper face, the pouring spout has a vertical lug 15. The relative position of the vertical lug 15 and the orifice of the portion 13 will be defined below with regard to the operation of the closure system.
  • the cover 16 the third element of the closure system of the invention, is shown in Figures 5 and 6. It consists of a central plate 17 and a cylindrical skirt 18, which has a window 19 adapted to allow the outlet of the spout when in use.
  • This window can be provided with a tear-away tamper-evident tab.
  • the height of this window is therefore substantially greater than the height of the spout and its width preferably corresponds approximately to a quarter of the circumference of the cover.
  • the skirt 18 also includes an opening 20 at its lower part; this opening 20 which is suitable for mounting the cover, must not be located below the window 19.
  • the cover has in its inner part hooking means 23 constituted for example by a projection having suitable characteristics to be housed in the groove 6 of the capsule body and a stud coming closely to marry the front opening of the spout.
  • the inner part of the central plate advantageously has a convex shape and comprises, in its middle, a hemispherical part 22 directed towards the inside of the cover, and, in the front part, a guide ramp 21, having a specific shape, which cooperates with the vertical lug of the pouring spout for moving it.
  • front part denotes the part of the central plate which is above the skirt portion 18 where the window 19 is located.
  • the guide ramp 21, integral with the central plate 17, has a specific shape adapted to allow the outlet and re-entry of the pouring spout 8 through the window 19 of the cover, by rotation of the latter, for example by rotation of a quarter of turn.
  • This ramp 21 extends from the periphery of the cover towards the center of the latter and its length is a function of the width of the window.
  • the shape of the ramp is defined below by its function of guiding the pouring spout, which first ensures the disengagement of the pouring spout and then the displacement thereof towards the outside when the closure system is opened. .
  • This shape is such that at the start of rotation of the cover, the spout remains stationary in the central groove 2 until the front 9 of the spout is fully visible through the window 19; then, the shape of the guide ramp is suitable for allowing the outlet of the pouring spout through the window 19 until the orifice of the pipe 13 faces the orifice 4, the vertical lug 15 then being advantageously at the periphery of the cover 16.
  • FIG. 9 A preferred embodiment of the guide ramp 21 is shown in Figure 9 which illustrates the operation of the closure system of the invention, by rotating the cover a quarter turn.
  • Figures 9a and 9d show the closure system respectively in the “closing” and “opening” positions
  • Figures 9b and 9c show intermediate positions between opening and closing.
  • the distance between the vertical lug 15 and the orifice of the pipe 13 and the distance between the two ends of the ramp 21 are substantially equal to the internal radius " r "of the cover 16.
  • the vertical lug 15, the orifice of the pipe 13 and the side 19 ′ of the window are aligned.
  • the guide ramp 21 shown in Figure 9 consists of two parts 21a and 21b.
  • the part 21a of the ramp cooperates with the vertical lug 15 to keep the spout stationary until the front 9 thereof has become completely visible through the window 19 during the rotation of the cover 16.
  • the shape of this part 21a is substantially that of an arc of a circle whose center is the ori fice 4 and the radius is the distance between the orifice 4 and the vertical lug 15, when the spout is entirely in the groove 2, that is to say in the closed position ( Figure 9a).
  • the part 21b of the ramp cooperates with the vertical lug 15 to ensure the translational output of the pouring spout 8 from the groove 2.
  • the preferred form of this part 21b shown in the figure 9 is an arc of radius "r" which passes through the center of the capsule body.
  • the pouring spout 8 is positioned in the groove 2 of the capsule body; the cover 16 in the closed position is snapped onto the capsule body 1.
  • the opening 20 provided on the skirt of the cover allows a mechanical finger to hold the pouring spout in the groove 2 before the cover is put in place; by removing the mechanical finger, the movable spout is trapped in the cover.
  • Pressure is obtained from the movable spout on the inner wall of the cover thanks to the rear leaf spring 14. A slight clearance between the ramp and the axis allows the pressure to vary.
  • the mouth of the spout is housed in the stud located in the inner side wall of the cover.
  • the spout is in the use position outside the cover by unscrewing movement of a quarter of a turn of the cover. By a quarter-turn screwing movement, the spout enters the inside of the cover. The spout is driven by the rotation of the cover, the vertical lug 15 being housed in the guide rail of the cover.
  • the central hemispherical part of the cover makes it possible to maintain the necessary sealing pressures during movements (opening / closing).
  • the rear 10 of the spout is hollowed out and acts as a leaf spring 14; we obtain, thanks to this blade, a pressure of the movable spout on the inner wall of the cover, a slight clearance between the ramp and the lug allowing the pressure variation.
  • the various elements of the closure system according to the invention can be made of the same material, for example in the case of a plastic tube, or of different materials such as, for example, a metal. It is important that the material of the spout is inert with respect to the product contained in the container. These elements are advantageously obtained by molding, injection or machining.
  • the closure system allows the automatic outlet and re-entry of the spout, which are done horizontally.
  • the spout substantially exceeds the outside diameter of the tube, preventing any leakage on the packaging.
  • the pouring spout inside the lid is protected from any external contamination.
  • the friction of the spout on the wall ensures self-cleaning thereof, thus making it possible, for example, to remove the sand in the case of containers containing solar products.
