Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of containers, generally bottles, of which the orifice is provided with a pourer, typically in the case of liquor conditioning, aperitifs, alcohols.
  • pourers are already known, associated with capping capsules, which are distinguished in particular by their method of attachment to the neck of the container and by the pouring element itself.
  • the pouring element itself it can be either fixed configuration, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, or variable configuration, including axially movable as described in FR 2,057,345, GB 922,188 patents , US 3,217,935 and US 4,569,464.
  • the pourer can be force-fitted into the neck, the pourer being generally provided with circular sealing ribs as shown in Figure 2, and described in FR 2,057 patents. 345, GB 922,188 and US 3,217,935.
  • pourers are associated with a closure cap and are therefore attached to the neck during crimping of the closure cap associated with said pourer, and this, by applying an axial force exerted on the head of the closure cap, an axial force relatively high, which can range from 80 to 100 daN, being necessary for said pourer is irreversibly fixed to the neck. Under these conditions, given the level of this force, some caps capping may be damaged, including buckling of the skirt or alteration means easy opening.
  • the problem to be solved is therefore to have a pourer whose attachment to the neck requires only a relatively low axial force, typically less than 20 daN, so as to associate said pourer to any type of capping cap, even the least mechanically resistant, given the permanent tendency to reduce the thickness of materials and the weight of packaging.
  • the invention solves the problem posed. Indeed, with the means of the invention, on the one hand, the introduction of the capsule and the associated pourer in the neck requires only a force F I , called introduction, relatively low, given the choice external dimensions of the peripheral skirt with respect to the internal dimensions of the neck. On the other hand, the axial displacement that follows the introduction of the pourer into the neck certainly requires an axial force F D , called displacement, greater than F I , so that said axial displacement can not begin before the pourer is not properly inserted into the neck, but this displacement force F D remains much lower than that required by the capsules with pourers of the state of the art.
  • FIG. 1A is a partial view of a capsule (1) equipped with its insert (2) and associated with a spout (3), in axial section along the vertical axis (11) of the capsule, the pourer being introduced into the neck (9) of a container, the rigid part (6H) of the pourer being still in the upper position, before fixing the spout to the neck and therefore before any axial displacement of the rigid piece (6).
  • Figure 1B is similar to Figure 1A, but with the rigid part (6B) in the low position, as a result of its axial displacement.
  • Figure 1C is similar to Figure 1A and shows the capsule (1) with its insert (2) and its pourer (3) before introduction into the neck (9).
  • Figure 2 is similar to Figure 1B, but differs in that the circular lip flexible (80) is integral with the rigid piece (6), and not the peripheral skirt (4) as in Figures 1A and 1B.
  • FIGS. 3A to 4B are partial enlarged views, in axial section along the vertical axis (11) of the capsule, of other embodiments of the invention in which a means of cooperation (7) is used to transform the axial displacement the rigid piece (6) in radial displacement of the lower part (5).
  • the means (7) is a triangular section rigid element (73), whereas in FIGS. 4A and 4B, this means (7) is a rod or rigid planar element (72).
  • the rigid piece (6) is in the high position, and denoted 6H, while it is in the low position, and denoted 6B, in Figures 4A and 4B.
  • FIGS. 5A to 6 similar to FIGS. 3A to 4B, describe other embodiments of the invention in which the rigid piece (6) bears directly against the lower part (5) and more specifically against its inner side (510). ).
  • the rigid piece (6) is a typically cylindrical skirt, whereas in FIG. 6, similar to FIG. 5B, this rigid skirt forms a cage (63) containing a ball (630) so as to make the pourer refillable.
  • FIG. 8B is a side perspective view of the insert (2) and the pourer (3), before temporary assembly of these two parts.
  • FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate two modalities of the lower part (5), in section in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the axis (11).
  • this lower part (5) comprises 6 rigid tongues (53) joined together by a thin skirt (530), while in FIGS. 7B and 8B the pourer has only 3 tabs (53).
  • this lower part (5) comprises 3 insulated tabs (52).
  • FIGS. 10A and 10B are partial sections along the axis (11) relative to the insert (2), to the insert only in FIG. 10A, and to the insert when the closure cap closes the neck (9).
  • Figures 11A and 11B are similar to Figures 1A and 1B. They differ in this that, in the case of FIGS. 11A and 11B, the flexible circular lip (80) and the lip (23) have a diameter and a flexibility such as the sealing lip presses directly on the rim (90) of the neck (9).
  • Figures 12A and 12B are similar to Figures 1A and 1B. They differ in that the peripheral skirt (4) and the rigid part (6) comprise frustoconical surfaces respectively noted (44) and (64), FIG. 12B being an enlarged view of the FIG. 12A.
  • FIG. 13 is similar to FIG. 1A and differs in that sealing is ensured by the ribs (512) carried by the lower part (5).
  • FIG. 14 comprises two left G and right D views of a pourer (3), in axial half-section, whose lower part (5) comprises circularly an alternation of articulated rigid rods (74) carrying a rigid heel (740) , and rigid heels (54) carrying fins (541).
  • Figure 15 is a partial side elevational view of the spout (3) illustrating the provision of rigid heels (54), heels devoid of fins.
  • FIGS. 16A to 16C are diagrammatic views from below (partial views in the case of FIGS. 16B and 16C), the rigid piece (6) being in the high position H in FIG. 16A, and in the lower position B in FIG. the 8 rigid bolts (54) and the 8 rigid heels (740) are spaced radially locking.
  • FIG. 16C illustrates a variant in which each latch (54) comprises two lateral recesses (541) allowing axial locking of the beads (740).
  • the lower part (5) can be rigid and articulated with respect to the peripheral skirt (4), typically thanks to a thinned portion (50) forming a hinge O and connecting the lower part (5) to the peripheral skirt (4), and forms an articulated element (51), typically in the form of an angular sector of angle ⁇ bounded by the outer sides OC and inner OD, each making an angle ⁇ C and ⁇ D respectively relative to the vertical, and in which the rigid part (6) cooperates, typically not its end, with the lower part (5), typically by its inner side OD, so that said axial displacement down the rigid part ( 6) causes rotation of said articulated element or angular sector (51), the angle ⁇ C being typically 0 ° and the angle ⁇ D equal to - ⁇ ° before said axial displacement, the angle ⁇ C typically being + ⁇ ° and the angle ⁇ D equaling 0 ° after said displacement axi al, ⁇ being typically between 5 and 25 °.
  • an articulated element (51) typically in the form of an

  • the rigid piece (6) can cooperate with the lower part (5) by a rigid element (72,73) forming the cooperation means (7) and articulated at its ends X and Y, a ends X being integral with, or made integral with, the lower part (5), the other end Y being secured to, or secured to, the rigid part (6), so that said axial displacement of the element rigid (72,73), by varying the inclination of said articulated element (51) to reach said stable position and by moving the Y end downwards, pushes the X-end radially outwardly, thus ensuring said passage from the high position H to the low position Y.
  • This modality is illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 4B and 7A to 9B.
  • the height Z YH of said end Y in the high position, before said axial displacement can be typically greater at the height Z X of said X end, while the height Z YB of said Y end in the low position, after said axial displacement, may be typically less than the height Z X of said X end, and secondly, said rigid element (73) may have a typically triangular section, the Y end forming an apex of this triangle, so that, in the low position, an adjacent side (730) to this vertex abuts against the rigid piece ( 6) and thus limits said axial displacement downwards.
  • said lower portion (5) may comprise, as articulated elements (51), rigid tongues (53) or rigid heels (54) regularly spaced and in number n ranging from 3 to 10, and typically from 4 to 8, with each tongue (53) or heel (54) corresponding to a separate rigid member (72, 73).
  • n is equal to 8.
  • a lock (740) can be angularly interposed between two said rigid heels (54) consecutive, by means of a locking rod (74) similar to said rigid element (72,73), so as to block said rigid heels circularly by said locks when said rigid piece (6) is in so-called low position.
  • said locks (740) and said rigid heels (54) can cooperate, typically by means of a detent notch (540), so as to reinforce the attachment of the pourer (3) to the neck (9) .
  • said rigid heels (54) comprise fins (541), so as to reinforce the attachment of the spout (3) to said neck (9).
  • the pourer (3) preferably forms a single piece.
  • the lower end (61) of the rigid piece (6) can bear directly on an inner side (510) of the lower part (5), in order to form said cooperation means.

  • the peripheral skirt (4) may comprise an upper rim (42) resting on all or part of the rim (90) of the neck (9) when the peripheral skirt (4) of the pourer (3) is placed in the neck (9).
  • the pourer subjected to the axial force F I , abuts against the rim (90), so as to avoid controlling the axial displacement of the peripheral skirt (4) of the pourer.

Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 12, bei dem das umlaufende Mantelteil (4) des Ausgusses mindestens eine kreisförmige Rippe (41) aufweist, die den Ausguss (4) mit dem Halsteil (9) abdichtet, wobei die Breite, die Zahl und die Flexibilität der Rippen (41) so gewählt sind, dass eine Reibung mit dem Halsteil erzielt wird, die hoch genug ist, um die Abdichtung zu bewirken, aber gering genug ist, damit das umlaufende Mantelteil (4) bei der Befestigung von Ausguss und Verschlusskapsel am Halsteil (9) durch axialen Druck auf die Kapsel an seiner definitiven Stelle in das Halsteil (9) eingebracht werden kann, bevor die Axialbewegung des starren Teils (6) nach unten beginnt.
  14. Ausguss nach Anspruch 13, bei dem die Reibung so gewählt ist, dass die Kraft FI zum Einbringen von Ausguss und umlaufendem Mantelteil in das Halsteil typischerweise kleiner als 10 daN ist und eine Kraft FD größer als FI, typischerweise größer als 10 daN und vorzugsweise zwischen 10 und 20 daN erforderlich ist, um die Axialbewegung zu bewirken.
  15. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 14, bei dem das umlaufende Mantelteil (4) einen oberen Rand (42) aufweist, der ganz oder zum Teil in Anlage gegen den Mündungsrand (90) des Halsteils (9) kommt, wenn das umlaufende Mantelteil (4) des Ausgusses (3) im Halsteil (9) eingesetzt ist.
  16. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 15, bei dem das Ausgusselement (8) entweder mit dem umlaufenden Mantelteil (4) oder mit dem starren Teil (6) verbunden ist.
  17. Ausguss nach Anspruch 16, bei dem das Ausgusselement (8) eine flexible Rundlippe aufweist, die typischerweise gegen den Mündungsrand des Halsteils umgelegt (8F) oder auf ihn gepresst ist, wenn das Halsteil (9) mit der Verschlusskapsel (1) verschlossen ist, bzw. wegsteht (8D), wenn der Ausguss (3) benutzt werden soll, wobei die typischerweise schraubbare Verschlusskappe (1) entfernt wurde.
  18. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 12 bis 17, bei dem der Einsatz (2) außer einer Verbindungslippe (22) des Einsatzes (2) mit dem metallischen Teil (10) der Kapsel (1) eine Dichtlippe (23) aufweist, die dem Innenraum des Halsteils (9) zugewandt ist und auf dem Mündungsrand (90) des Halsteils (9) bzw. auf dem Ausgusselement (8) aufliegen soll, wenn letzteres sich über den Mündungsrand erstreckt.
  19. Ausguss nach Anspruch 17 und 18, bei dem die flexible Rundlippe, wenn sie absteht (8D), einen Außendurchmesser aufweist, der kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser der Dichtlippe (23), so dass diese Rundlippe beim Verschließen des Halsteils (9) mit der Verschlusskapsel (1) umgelegt (8F) und dabei gegen die Dichtlippe (23) gepresst wird, welche ihrerseits dann gegen den Mündungsrand (90) des Halsteils gepresst wird.
  20. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 19, bei dem die Dichtheit des Mittels zur dichten Befestigung des Ausgusses (3) am Halsteil (9) durch mindestens eine Außenrippe (512) gewährleistet ist, die auf dem unteren Abschnitt (5) angeordnet ist.
  21. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 20, bei dem das umlaufende Mantelteil (4) und das starre Teil (6) gemäß kegelförmig ausgebildeten Flächen (44, 64) zusammenwirken, so dass die Axialbewegung eine radiale Spreizung des umlaufenden Mantelteils (4) bewirkt, um die Befestigung und/oder Dichtheit zwischen Halsteil (9) und Ausguss (3) zu erhöhen.
  22. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 12 bis 21, bei dem der Einsatz (2) mit einem Gewinde versehen ist.
  23. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 22, bei dem das starre Teil (6) ein Gehäuse (63) für eine Kugel (630) bildet, um einen nicht füllbaren Ausguss (31) zu bilden.
  24. Ausguss nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche 1 bis 23, hergestellt durch Vergießen eines transparentes Kunststoffs mit hohen mechanischen Eigenschaften, typischerweise gewählt unter PP, PA, PS und PET.
