Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a temporary corking device for bottles intended to contain more particularly, although not exclusively, a champagne wine or the like.
  • the shutter also called “cartridge” by professionals, is made of a synthetic material and has a hollow cylindrical shape, able to forcefully engage in the opening of the neck of the bottle until 'An annular projection of a transverse wall, closing the opposite end to that engaging in the opening, comes into axial abutment against a corresponding part of the annular end face of the neck.
  • the metal capsule subsequently holds the shutter thus inserted by means of a cork seal, in the form of a disc, provided on the internal bottom of the capsule and pressing against the annular end face. from the neck and against the transverse wall of the obturator.
  • the lateral periphery of the capsule is, for this, crimped onto an external annular rim of said neck, which ensures the fixing of the temporary closure device.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and relates to a temporary corking device for bottles making it possible to improve the holding in position of said shutter and the seal against the outside.
  • a temporary closure device is produced having the mechanical characteristics required to resist the internal pressure and to avoid the risks of leakage and / or seepage.
  • said lining comprises an additional annular sealing lip, concentric with the previous one and capable of being applied against the annular end face of said neck.
  • the seal is thus perfected since it is obtained by the contact of the two lips on the annular face ending the neck of the bottle.
  • the two concentric annular lips form between them a V or the like so that, when said closure cap is crimped, the free edges of said lips are crushed over almost the entire annular end face of said neck.
  • the seal produced is optimal since the crushed edges of the lips arrive up to the vicinity respectively of the annular projection of said obturator and of the external annular rim.
  • said pins can be arranged according to the same circumference, in an equi-angular manner distributed with respect to each other. More particularly, said pins are then located on a circumference close to said annular lip, so that they are applied to the annular projection of said obturator, itself in abutment against the corresponding part of the annular end face of said neck. This effectively maintains said shutter depressed, taking up internal pressure as best as possible.
  • the temporary closure device 1, illustrated in FIG. 1 and in accordance with the invention, is intended to be mounted in the cylindrical opening 2A of the neck 2B of a bottle 2 containing a champagne wine.
  • the device 1 consists of a cylindrical shutter 3 for the opening 2A of the bottle, and a closure cap 4 for holding the shutter 3 in position by crimping on an external annular rim 2C of said collar.
  • the shutter 3 is made of a synthetic material, for example a polyethylene, and it comprises a cylindrical side skirt 3A which is closed by a transverse wall 3B with annular projection 3C at its 3D end opposite the open end conical 3E intended to engage in the opening 2A of said neck bottle.
  • the external diameter of the lateral skirt 3A with annular section is at least equal, preferably slightly greater, than that of the opening 2A.
  • the purpose of the annular projection 3C of the wall 3B is to come into axial abutment against the 2D annular end face of the neck to limit the introduction of the shutter 3 into the opening 2A of the bottle.
  • the diameter of the annular projection 3C is determined to be applied to an annular part 2D1 of said end face 2D, also comprising the rounded edge 2E connecting the latter to the internal wall 2F which delimits the opening 2A of said pass.
  • a central recess 3F is formed in the transverse wall 3B to allow a punching tool, not shown, to push the shutter 3 into the opening 2A of the neck of the bottle 2.
  • the closure cap 4 is metallic, and it usually comprises a crenellated peripheral lateral wall 4A, intended to be crimped on an external annular rim 2C of the neck, which extends the annular face of 2D transverse end of the bottle.
  • the bottom 4B of the capsule is provided, on its internal face 4C, with a seal 5 capable of coming to be applied both against the 2D annular face of the bottle neck and against the transverse wall 3B with annular projection 3C of the shutter.
  • this seal 5 is made of a synthetic material and it has a circular shape whose diameter corresponds substantially to that of the bottom 4B of the capsule and, consequently, to that of the 2D annular end face of the bottle.
  • the lining 5 more particularly comprises two annular sealing lips, concentric 5A and 5B, located near its periphery, to be applied by their free edges 5A1 and 5B1 against the 2D annular end face. It can be seen in particular in FIG. 1 that the two lips 5A and 5B move away from each other by diverging, to form an inverted V between them.
  • the free edge 5A1 of the external sealing lip 5A is directed towards the outside, that is to say towards the crenellated periphery 4A of the capsule, while the free edge 5B1 of the internal sealing lip 5B heads inward.
  • the seal 5 is provided with a plurality of pins 5C capable of being applied against the shutter 3.
  • These pins 5C obviously protrude from the seal of the same side that the concentric lips 5A, 5B and have an identical shape, slightly rounded.
  • six pins 5C are provided which are equiangularly distributed with respect to each other on the same circumference, close to the lip 5B, in order to be applied punctually on the annular projection 3C of the shutter 3.
  • the height of said sealing lips 5A and 5B is greater than the sum of the height of said pins and the thickness of said annular projection, to allow suitable crushing of these on the 2D end face.
  • the temporary closure device 1 is put in place by axially engaging the shutter 3 in the opening 2A of the bottle.
  • the cylindrical side skirt 3A slides along the wall 2F delimiting the opening 2A, until the annular projection 3C of the transverse wall 3B abuts against the corresponding 2D1 part of said annular 2D end face of the neck 2B.
  • closure cap 4 is then mounted so that, during the crimping operation securing the crenellated periphery 4A of the capsule with the external annular rim 2C of the neck, the free edges 5A1 and 5B1 of the concentric lips 5A and 5B are crushed by elastic deformation against the annular end face 2D, and that the pins 5C are applied energetically against the annular projection 3C of said obturator 3.
