Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for mounting on an opening of a fluid reservoir.
  • the closure device serves to plug the opening of the tank, but must also allow a distribution of the fluid contained in the tank. This type of closure device is frequently used in the field of fluid or powder product packaging.
  • the closure device may be in the form of a nozzle having a fixable portion on the opening of the reservoir and a removable or movable portion for clearing an outlet passage to allow the distribution of the fluid contained in the reservoir.
  • the closure device therefore also has the function of allowing selective dispensing of the fluid product.
  • Tanks in the form of a bottle have long been known for containing water, beverages or, more generally, fluid products.
  • the body of the bottle can be made of plastic or from a complex film forming a flexible pouch or a semi-rigid brick.
  • the bottle also includes a tip attached to the body of the bottle. This tip comprises a conduit or collar possibly threaded externally. The tip further comprises a plug to be screwed or force-fitted on the neck of the tip.
  • the closure device is in the form of a nozzle comprising a distribution duct and a plug attached to this duct
  • the guarantee system may be in the form of a ring integral with the duct and connected to the cap by means of Bridges of brittle material. During the first removal of the plug, the bridges of material are broken leaving the crown integral with the conduit.
  • Another form of warranty system is in the form of an envelope, generally heat-shrinkable, which surrounds at least a portion of the cap and a portion of the leads. Before the first use, the user must remove the envelope by tearing it.
  • the filling of tanks equipped with such closure devices can be carried out in two different ways.
  • a first way is to fill the tank through the conduit formed by the closure device. Then, the plug is put in place on the conduit. The plug is then in the form of a separate part of the conduit.
  • the second way is to fill the tank with its bottom which is initially open. Then the bottom of the tank is sealed. In this case, the plug is initially put in place on the conduit.
  • the closure device may include a first-use guarantee system. This is not the case with the first filling method since the cap must be put in place once the filling is finished. An additional guarantee system can still be implemented, but this requires an additional operation.
  • EP-0 763 482 A1 discloses a closure device comprising a cap and a cover.
  • the plug has a base to be sealingly attached at the opening of a package.
  • the cap is connected to the cap by a breakable thin wall to separate said cap from said cap.
  • the cap, the cap and the breakable wall can be one-piece.
  • the breakable wall extends circumferentially around the plug thus forming a seal junction sealing device.
  • latching means are provided, also ensuring a sealing of said closure device.
  • the closure device of this document is made by a plastic injection / molding technique, in which fluid plastic material is injected under pressure into a mold. The preamble of the main claim is based on this prior art.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by defining a closure device allowing indifferently filling by the closure device or by the tank bottom. Another purpose of the closure device of the invention is to be realized in a minimum number of rooms. Another object is that the closure device comprises a first-use guarantee or safety system, which is advantageously integrally integrated with the closure device.

  • the deck (s) material allow to give a direct visual indication to the user on the early use of the closure device.
  • the sealable portion is deformable and weldable on itself.
  • the sealable part comprises a fixed element connected to the conduit by said at least one bridge of material and a sealing cover intended to be releasably fixed to the fixed element, said cover sealingly closing the dispensing orifice.
  • the cover is hingedly connected to the fixed element.
  • the articulation between the cover and the fixed element forms a deformable part.
  • the cover and the fixed element are made integrally.
  • the cover forms a sealing sleeve intended to come into sealed contact with the conduit in order to seal it tightly.
  • This sealing sleeve serves to seal before and / or after the first withdrawal of the closure member.
  • the material bridge extends continuously around a conduit, also forming a seal between the conduit and the closure member. In this case, a sealing bushing is not necessary.
  • the closure member comprises a peripheral sleeve connected at one end to the outside of the conduit by said at least one material bridge, said sleeve including an opposite peripheral end forming the sealable portion.
  • the sleeve can form or be constituted by the fixed element.
