Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of anti-drip pouring capsules typically used in the field of fractionated consumption in bottles, typically that of aperitifs, syrups, oils, condiments, etc ...
  • the anti-drip pourers of the prior art are only used on so-called “low” glassware rings, because of less height than glassware rings say "high", the height difference being typically 6 to 7 mm.
  • pourers may agree when the contents of the bottle are poured at once, but deteriorate under heavy use as in the case of bottles of aperitifs or oil, the contents of which can be consumed after fifty opening and closing cycles, especially at the junction between the part emerging from the pourer and the pourer's skirt pressed into the neck of the container or bottle.
  • Some pourers also have a weak emerging part diameter which covers only a small part of the mouth of the neck, so that drops may actually fall on the drinker, or on the bottle itself.
  • pourers of the state of the art have manufacturing costs high, in particular high material costs, or possibly installation costs high since they may not be integrated into a closure cap.
  • the invention therefore relates to the manufacture of pourers suitable for all types of glass ring, and more particularly capsules with integrated pourer which resolve all of the problems raised.
  • the pourer according to the invention simultaneously makes it possible to obtain a pourer with axial positioning in abutment without having any additional thickness, and therefore suitable for the so-called "tall" glassware, and to be manufactured in a single piece molded material economical plastic, such as PE or PP, which allows significant savings of production costs, be it material cost or manufacturing cost, the demoulding of flexible pourers being easier to implement than that of parts not very flexible or rigid.
  • Figure 1 shows two half-sections along the vertical axis of symmetry (7) vertical a neck (6) of a container (5) with a threaded glass ring, closed by a capsule closure (3) comprising a plastic insert (4) and a pourer (1) according to the invention.
  • the left-hand part corresponds to the case where the container is closed, the flared upper part (21) of the pourer being bent and applied against the mouth (60) of the neck.
  • the right-hand part corresponds to the case where the container is about to be encapsulated by a capsule according to the invention comprising an insert (4) and a pourer (1) with a flared part (21) deployed and of height H at - above the drink (60). This same arrangement is observed when the container is opened.
  • Figure 2 is a section along the axis (7) of a closed container, similar to the part left of Figure 1, in the case where the sealing means is an attached seal (8).
  • Figures 3a to 3c relate to the plastic insert (4) used in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3a is a section along the axis (7) of symmetry.
  • Figure 3b shows in section a partial enlargement of the peripheral edge (41) of the circular lip (40), which allows temporary attachment to the pourer (1).
  • Figure 3c is a bottom view of the plastic insert (4).
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are views in axial section relating to the state of the art: FIG. 6 represents a capsule suitable for plugging a container carrying a pourer as illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 5a, relating to a pourer (1) whose skirt (2) comprises a lower end (23), optionally provided with an internal partition (24), and an inner rim (26) allowing to trap a ball (27) preventing a subsequent filling of the bottle.
  • the upper end (22) of the skirt (2) may have on its outer surface an outer rim (28) forming a stop means or shoulder ensuring the axial positioning of the pourer in the neck, said flange outer (28) abutting against the inner rim of the rim (60), so as to block the insertion of the pourer (1) into the neck (6) at a predetermined axial level, and allowing said flexible emerging portion (210) to be applied against said drinking (60).
  • Said material can be chosen from thermoplastic polymers or copolymers capable of being molded, typically a PE, a PP, a PET, a polybutene, silicone resins, which can be in the form of homopolymers or copolymers, metallocenes.
  • said material can comprise an elastomer, typically a polybutadiene, and therefore form a mixture of a relatively rigid material with an elastomer, so as to form a pourer having the flexibility and the desired permanent spring effect.
  • said sealed fixing means can comprise at least two peripheral ribs (200), typically parallel with respect to the horizontal plane.
  • the pourer (1) has generally been shown with 3 peripheral ribs (200).
  • These peripheral ribs (200), as illustrated in FIGS. 4a, 5a and 5b, can have an external diameter increasing with the height of the rib, as said rib moves away from the lower end (23) of said skirt (2).
  • the rib called “low” (201), that is to say that which is closest to the low end (23) of said skirt, can be positioned within 10 mm of said end low, so that the retention of said liquid is typically less than 1 cm 3 when said container is empty, the neck is turned down.
  • peripheral ribs are more rigid towards their central part and more flexible at their periphery.
  • at least one rib peripheral (200) includes at its periphery a circular zone of reduced thickness (202).
  • said pourer (1) can comprise a means for limiting the flow constituted by a means of partially closing off said interior duct, typically formed by a bottom or a flat partition (24) perforated by openings (240), as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 5c.
  • the skirt (2) may include a lower end (23), possibly provided with a partition inner (24), and an inner rim (26) for trapping a ball (27), so as to form a non-return valve preventing fraudulent filling of the bottle or container (5) once its initial content has been consumed.
  • the pourer (1) according to the invention can form a one-piece molded part made of one or more plastic materials. It can be made of a single plastic material and in this case, so as to have a relatively rigid skirt and an emerging part (210) which is sufficiently flexible, the average thickness E F of said flexible emerging part (210) can be less at the thickness E R of the skirt (2), or even at 0.5.E R , as illustrated in FIGS. 5b and 5d. It may consist of a single piece molded part comprising a skirt (2) and a flared upper part (21) made of two different plastics, the most rigid plastic forming the skirt (2) provided with its ribs (200). , the most flexible plastic forming the flared upper part (2 1).
  • Said sealing means can be chosen from an attached gasket (8) or an insert (4), fixed inside said capsule, typically either by a retaining groove (30), either by an adhesive layer, or by press fit.
  • an attached seal has been illustrated in FIG. 2, the other figures relating to the use of a plastic insert.
  • said sealed closure means can be a plastic insert (4) typically provided with a circular lip (40), which provides all or part of the seal.
  • the circular lip (40) can cooperate with the outside of the rim (60) of the neck (6) to form said sealed closure means, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Said circular lip (40) can cooperate with said pourer (1), typically with the interior of said skirt (2), to form said temporary securing means, as illustrated in FIG. 1. More specifically, said temporary fastening means can be formed by the cooperation, typically by clipping or snap-fastening, peripheral edges (25, 41) carried respectively on the inside of said skirt (2) and on the outside of said circular lip. (40), as illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the capsule may include means for guaranteeing inviolability and / or easy first opening, typically by at least one line weakening (31) located above the crimping area (32).
  • Figures 1, 3a to 3c, 4, 5a to 5c and 8 constitute exemplary embodiments.
  • Pourers were made of different materials, in particular polybutene, PE, PP or PP copolymer, a mixture of PP or PE and polybutadiene in a sufficient content to obtain the required flexibility.
  • the pourers were manufactured by injection-molding, and the ease of demolding was observed given the flexibility of the non-straight elements of the pourers according to the invention.
  • the pourers according to the invention in addition to allowing adaptation to irregularities in the inside diameter of the necks, are capable of undergoing a large number of opening and closing cycles. In addition, they are economical to manufacture and easy to install. whether or not they are associated with a closure cap.
