Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic tube surmounted by a tearable lid sealingly closing its outlet orifice, this tube possibly being fitted with a stopper comprising a key making it possible to fit and tear this lid by rotation.
  • EP-B-119145 and its equivalent US-A-4527700 disclose such a tube associated with a cap interlocking with internal reliefs the reliefs carried by the lateral surface of the cover.
  • the base of the cover is connected by a tearable zone at the edge of the orifice of the neck of the tube, and the rotation of the cap fitted on the cover by its complementary reliefs makes it possible to drive the cover by breaking said area by twisting. .
  • the cover is retained in the cover when it is forced into the interior reliefs of the cover.
  • the diameter of the orifice was typically 2.5 to 10 mm.
  • GB-A-2 039 267 discloses a solution incorporating the idea of driving by rotation of a tearable lid and well suited to the small diameters of orifice targeted.
  • the orifice obtained after tearing by rotation of the cover is in this case bordered by a tormented and non-reproducible breaking surface. If the tear was made without care, the damaged surface is so tormented that it does not allow a hermetic sealing of the capsule in the event of multiple uses.
  • the Applicant has sought to develop a tear-proof seal tube which overcomes these problems.
  • the subject of the invention is a plastic tube having a head surmounted by a tight seal which can be torn by torsion, said cover having, up to its base connecting to said head, a lateral surface of polygonal outline, this surface being formed. by generators inclined by less than 10 ° on the axis of the tube away from said base, said cover having a tearing zone comprised between said lateral surface and an interior surface having circular sections perpendicular to said axis, these surfaces delimiting together at least one thin portion, characterized in that said at least one thin portion has a minimum thickness of between 0.05 and 0.18 mm and in that said lateral and interior surfaces (6 and 11) together define at least one thick portion, maximum thickness at minus 1.5 times stronger than said minimum thickness.
  • the cover is sufficiently rigid until it connects with the head of the tube.
  • the thicker portions of its internally hollow base provide this rigidity and facilitate the injection and obtaining of much thinner and nevertheless compact and tight intermediate parts, forming sites for initiation of torsional rupture.
  • the cover being thus rigid and having a cylindrical or slightly conical shape, its gripping, preferably its fitting by a suitable key, is facilitated and the manipulations are not likely to cause it to bend and to damage its immediate periphery.
  • the tube head provided with the cover according to the invention is preferably overmolded on a skirt, the inner surface is formed by a plastic material identical to that of the head.
  • a tear in the ductile type cover and without residual deformation affecting its immediate periphery preferably chosen as common plastic material for the overmolded head and for at least the interior of the skirt, is low density polyethylene of specific gravity between 0.88 and 0.93 g / cm3, or linear low density polyethylene.
  • the external surface of the tearing zone has a square contour and its hollow internal surface has perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube and of the cover of the successive circular sections centered with respect to this square external surface, the progressive thinning and thickening of the wall comprised between these external and internal surfaces resulting in a maximum thickness of each of the two thick portions 2.5 to 4 times greater than the minimum thickness of each of the two thin portions between these thick portions.
  • Said hollow interior surface is typically of revolution around said axis.
  • the base of the cover is connected to the head of the tube in an annular depression flared from this head, the diameter of the flush end of this depression being less than 2 mm larger than the outside width of the base of the cover and this cover projecting beyond this end by a height at least equal to its diameter.
  • the relief of the cover protects the depression, which is the immediate periphery of its base, from damage which could be caused by manipulation.
  • the side wall of the depression is typically frustoconical and constitutes the top of a truncated cone of drop formation which will be completed, downwards and inside, by the tear surface of the seal produced by the opening of the tube.
  • the micro-asperities of this tearing surface then become sites for attachment of the drops of liquid, allowing them to form more easily and to grow by giving drops calibrated at 19 to 21 drops per cm3.
  • the diameter of the flush end of the depression is between 2.5 and 7 mm, the external width of the base of the cover being between 2 and 6 mm.
  • the inner surface of the cover is or belongs to a vault forming the back of the cover, this vault having a low height relative to the height of the cover and typically less than 1.3 mm and connecting to a circular cylindrical axial interior surface forming part of the orifice of the tube after tearing of the cover.
  • this preferably has a frustoconical lateral surface which will be extended by the lateral surface of rupture of the seal, which surface itself is substantially frustoconical , forming a drop forming surface succeeding as described above to a circular cylindrical axial inner surface of the tube head, the assembly allowing the expulsion of calibrated liquid drops.
  • the cover of the tube can be pinched or embedded by any means and then broken by twisting.
  • the tube is accompanied or equipped with a capsule which covers the head of the tube and the cover, the capsule then having no contact with this cover, and this capsule preferably has at its top a hollow cavity constituting a key which can fit the cover by immobilizing it in rotation relative, when the capsule is released from the tube and turned upside down, and making it possible to break the cover by rotation of the capsule.
  • the drive surface of the cover has a height at least equal to 2 times the external width of its base, and furthermore that the conicity of the cover, this widening towards its base, is small, having as already indicated a 1 ⁇ 2 cone angle less than 10 °.
  • the bottom fitting is done by simple pressing.
  • the generators of the lateral surface of the cover are inclined at less than 2 ° on the axis, the key of the tube then fully fitting the cover with a small clearance, preferably between 0.05 and 0.2 mm in diameter, and retaining it there after its rupture. It can be noted that this retention is linked to the polygonal shape and to the relative length of the embedding of the cover in the capsule and occurs without there having been necessarily.
  • the state of the flared annular depression is better preserved during storage of the tube capped with this capsule, by providing on the head of the tube a peripheral annular groove which surrounds the flared annular depression, as well as in the capsule attaching to the tube for example by screwing, an interior annular preferably annular rib which comes to be embedded in said annular groove in position for fixing at the bottom of the capsule on the tube.
  • This groove and this rib seal the fillings of the tube with the capsule after tearing of the cover.
  • a capsule material harder than the material of the head of the tube typically: capsule made of high density polyethylene or polypropylene, in the case of a tube head made of low density polyethylene or linear low density polyethylene.
  • the plastic material of the tube head is preferably identical to the plastic material forming the interior of the skirt of the tube, as already indicated. The less hard seal than the capsule is more easily retained there.
  • FIG. 1 represents a tube 1 whose head 2 made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) is overmolded on a skirt 3 having an internal layer 4 also made of LDPE.
  • This head 2 is surmounted by a tearable lid 5 whose lateral external surface 6 is of essentially square contour (FIG. 2), having around its base 7 a slight annular hollow 8.
  • the axial section of FIG. 1 shows two thick portions 9 and 9 ′ of the zone to be broken 40 of the cover, a zone lying on the one hand between the back arch 11 of the cover 5 and the circular axial internal surface 12 which connects with this arch at 13, and on the other hand, the foot from the outside of the cover 5 constituting the bottom 50 of the depression 8.
  • the four portions such as 9 and 9 ′ of maximum thickness 0.4 mm are visible on the section AA of FIG. 2 passing through the bottom 50, they are alternated with four thin portions such as 14 and 14 ′ with a minimum thickness of 0.12 mm.
  • the rupture by torsion of the cover 5 will be located according to a truncated cone 45 slightly inclined on the axis 16, going from the bottom of the hollow 8 in the vicinity of the circular connection 13 and corresponding to the minimum thicknesses 0.10 mm of the thin portions 14 and 14 ', as well as thick portions 9 and 9' whose maximum thickness is no more than 0.33 mm.
  • the frustoconical rupture 15 is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the square outline of the cover leaves around its base 7 enlargements 17 of the depression 8 (FIG.
  • the cover can also be connected to the head of the tube without any annular depression around its base, the radius of this connection then typically being less than 0.5 mm.
  • FIG. 3 also shows the capsule 20 made of PP (polypropylene) screwed fully onto the tube 1.
  • This capsule comprises a frustoconical cavity 21 which caps the contact 5 without any contact, and is bordered by a rib 22 which is inserted in position screwed into a peripheral annular groove 23 of the tube 1 encircling its annular depression 80, this depression acting beyond the open end 81 of the depression 80 (FIGS. 3 and 3a).
  • This depression 80 and the cover are thus perfectly protected from shock or bruising while screwing on the capsule 20.
  • the capsule 20 also comprises, opening at its top, a hollow cavity 24 with a square section having a clearance of 0.08 mm over its width relative to the cover and a depth of 6 mm.
  • This cavity 24 is surrounded by an outer cone 25, which fits into the annular depression 80 ( Figure 4) when the capsule 20 fits the cover 5 to break it by rotation of this cover. This rupture is easily obtained whatever the direction of rotation of the capsule 20, the latter being conveniently held by two flat wings or ribs 26.
  • FIG 5 shows the tube 1 and the capsule 20 of Figures 3 and 4 after the rupture of the cover 5 which is now trapped in the hollow cavity or key 24 of the capsule 20.
  • the orifice 12 and the formation bowl drops 15 and 18 now allow the delivery of calibrated drops and the capsule 20 allows the tube 1 to be filled after each dispensing.
  • Plastic tubes for storage and distribution of medical, paramedical or cosmetic liquids, in particular liquid vaccines to be dispensed in calibrated drops are provided.
