Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rigid residual vacuum container with a metal closure cap with a deformable central part.
  • Patent application WO-A-9100227 published after the priority date of the present application also relates to a system with tamper-evident indicator, in which a seal is provided positioned astride the edge of the cover and the top of the glass containing the food product.
  • a seal is provided positioned astride the edge of the cover and the top of the glass containing the food product.
  • the disadvantage of this system is that, when opened, the seal is broken and leaves multiple pieces which must be discarded quickly so that they do not accidentally mix with the food product itself.
  • patent application EP-A-0164938 relates to a rigid container with residual vacuum with a metal closure capsule with a deformable central part. The disadvantage of this system is that the finding that the package has already been opened is not sufficiently clear and secure.
  • the container, object of the present invention makes it possible to provide the consumer with a clean, practical inviolability system, of simple use and making it possible to guarantee maximum security for the consumer.
  • the invention relates to a rigid residual vacuum container with a metal closure cap with a deformable central part, comprising a tamper-evident indicator comprising a ring integral with said closure capsule and a central patch in a single part connected to said ring by at least 2 hooking tabs, the tablet being located above the deformable central part of the closure capsule, said tablet separating from the ring when the closure capsule is opened due to the lifting of the deformable central portion .
  • the rigid container with metal closure cap with deformable central part is a container containing a food product having undergone an operation generating a residual vacuum inside said container.
  • This residual vacuum causes the concave deformation of the central part of the capsule.
  • the residual vacuum is caused for example by sterilization, pasteurization or hot filling. Under the effect of cooling, a vacuum is created inside the container, which causes the concave deformation of the central part of said container.
  • the consumer wants to open the container he unscrews the closure capsule, which brings the interior of the container to atmospheric pressure, the central part of said capsule lifts and thus releases the central tablet from the ring secured to the capsule .
  • the attachment tabs are strong enough not to break during various handling operations and sufficiently fine for the deformation of the capsule to allow total release of the pellet and its separation from the ring.
  • This ring is integral with the closure cap by gluing.
  • the adhesive used can be of any type known in the state of the art.
  • the central patch is connected to the ring by three hooking lugs. A a higher number of latching tabs can however also be envisaged, for example between 4 and 8.
  • the central patch can be circular but also of any other shape, provided that its shape allows the presence of latching tabs ensuring the connection with the 'ring.
  • a hooking tab is provided which is more solid than the other two.
  • a compensation heel is provided on said central patch on the side opposite the closure capsule. This heel also saves material for the pad.
  • the tamper-evident witness is made of polystyrene or any other brittle plastic material. This control is produced either by injection or by molding.
  • the container (6) is closed by a metal capsule (5) on which is glued a tamper-evident indicator (1) comprising a ring (2) and a central patch (3) connected to said ring by three attachment tabs (4 ).
  • the capsule (5) is screwed onto the upper edge of the container (6) thanks to the bosses (8) and as the container is sterilized, said capsule is curved towards the interior of the container.
  • the membrane (9) of the capsule (5) exerts a force on the compensating heel (7), so that the tabs snap (4) break, thereby releasing the central pad (3).
  • the tamper-evident indicator according to the invention can be used with any type of container comprising a closure capsule having a central membrane which is elastically deformable.
