Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure device, according to the preamble of claim 1, at least two parts, comprising a base having a function of attachment to a container neck and / or a pourer function, and a cap hinged to this base.
  • Knuckles are known in one, two or three plastic parts, commonly called sports caps, allowing a consumer to directly drink the contents of a container and close it.
  • WO 2004/007313 is illustrated a plug of this type made in two parts, with a first piece constituting both a mounting base on a container neck and a pourer allowing a plug in the mouth, and a second piece forming a cap to cover and seal the pourer, the second piece further comprising a fixing ring and a flexible hinge strap connecting the fastening ring to the cap.
  • An advantage of this type of cap is that it can be manufactured in closed position, that is to say without closing operation by pivoting the cap on its joint, the assembly of the two parts being made by a simple movement of translation, during which the ring is inserted by its lower part in a fixing groove provided for this purpose in the base.
  • the ring is also provided in its upper part with one or more indentations each receiving a first opening indicator linked on the one hand to the bottom of the notch and on the other hand to a rim of the cap.
  • the desired effect is to achieve, upon opening, a rupture of the first opening indicator in two parts, one connected to the cap and the other to the ring, and, by a displacement or a deformation of the at least one of these two parts, to make the opening detectable by the consumer.
  • EP 1 892 194 has been proposed a sports cap in two parts, namely a first part forming a base and a cap hinged to the base by a hinge, and a second piece constituting a pourer inserted into the base.
  • This plug can also be manufactured in closed position, by axial assembly of the two parts.
  • An annular dead volume is preserved between the two assembled parts, which volume is used to house, after opening, a first opening indicator which separates from a peripheral wall of the cap.
  • the disappearance of the first opening witness does not necessarily allow a consumer unfamiliar with the plug in question, to visually recognize if it has already been opened.
  • the fact that the base and the cap belong to the same room limits the variations in color and material for the visible portion externally, except to manufacture this piece by bi-injection, which increases the cost.
  • a plug comprising a first piece and a second piece, rigidly associated with each other.
  • the first piece forms a peripheral base and a pouring means. It also includes first peripheral attachment means for the second part.
  • the second part forms a cover, means for pivoting the cover and second peripheral means of attachment complementary to the first attachment means, these second means being constituted by a ring.
  • the cap thus comprises two parts, one that can be described as fixed - in that it is fixed rigidly on the neck of the container - and the other that can be described as mobile, associated with the to one another by the pivoting means.
  • the fixed part comprises the first part and the ring, while the movable part is formed of the only cover.
  • the cap also comprises external means ensuring the inviolability before a first opening, interposed between the fixed part and the movable part.
  • These means are made in the form of frangible bridges, connecting a lower free edge of the bonnet skirt to an adjacent upper edge of the ring.
  • Frangible bridges are designed to be broken when, when the hood is first opened, the user pulls axially up on the hood opposite the pivoting means.
  • the frangible bridges can be replaced by a line or a zone of lower resistance.
  • the change of state of the inviolability means is not very visible when the cover, after first opening, is brought back to the closed position. The consumer must therefore rely on the resistance of the cap before the first opening to detect the condition of the cap.
  • the invention aims to remedy all or part of the disadvantages of the state of the art identified above.
  • a closure device to be secured to a container neck, the closure device comprising: a first piece forming a base for attachment to the container neck and having a peripheral fixing groove ; and a second cap member, an attachment ring defining a reference geometric axis, and a hinge connecting the attachment ring to the cap for guiding the cap relative to the ring between a closed position and an open position, fixing ring being engaged by snapping into the fastening groove of the first part.
  • the second part also forms a first opening indicator and a breakable connection between the first opening indicator and a peripheral rim of the cap, a free space being preserved in the axial direction between the ring and the first opening indicator in the closed position before first opening, the first opening indicator being retained by at least one attachment zone of the first part so as to be separated from the cap and fall into the free space during the first opening.
  • the closure device thus defined can be manufactured in closed position by axial assembly, and offers a very good visibility of the first opening indicator, while avoiding that the first opening indicator is separated from the closure device following the opening.
  • the two pieces which in practice are made of plastic material, can be made, if necessary, with different materials, for example more flexible for the base and more rigid for the cap. It is also possible to choose different colors for the two pieces, which facilitates the display of the first opening indicator and, by providing several color combinations, makes it possible to identify different drinks of a given range, each by a given pair of colors. .
  • One of the two pieces can be transparent.
  • the peripheral groove is preferably annular and the ring closed, so as to maximize the contact surfaces between the ring and groove, and thus promote good snap fastening, without requiring dimensional tolerances and expensive assembly to be complied with in industrial conditions. .
  • the first piece is shaped so as to make visible in the closed position before first opening the first opening indicator and the free space.
  • the first opening indicator is visible before and after the first opening, so that the consumer, even if he is not familiar with the closure device, can not be mistaken about its condition.
  • the first-opening indicator has a face turned radially outward, visible before first opening and remaining fully visible after first opening. No other surface of the first aperture indicator turned radially outward and which would be invisible before first opening, will not appear after the first opening. It is thus essentially the release and the displacement of the first opening witness that make it possible to identify that the first opening has taken place.
  • the first part comprises at least two attachment zones and at least one visual notch separating the two attachment zones, making visible in the closed position before first opening the first opening indicator and the space free.
  • the attachment zones are in number greater than two, are distributed preferably over the entire periphery of the first part, preferably regularly spaced and are separated in pairs by notches, at least one of which is a notch of visualization making visible the witness of first opening and the free space, before first opening.
  • the indentations have arc length greater than the attachment zones that they separate, for a good visualization of the first opening indicator
  • the attachment zone or zones oppose extraction of the first opening control from the free space after first opening, which avoids any risk of ingestion of the first opening control by a child, and all risk of pollution.
  • the first-opening indicator has an arcuate shape around the reference axis.
  • the angle covered by this arc can be important, which is favorable for good visualization.
  • the circular arc runs over an angular sector greater than 45 °, preferably greater than 60 °, and preferably less than 180 °, for example of the order of 60 °, 90 ° or 120 °.
  • the circular arc runs over an angular sector greater than 180 °, preferably from a first lateral edge of the hinge to a second opposite lateral edge of the hinge.
  • angles smaller than 45 ° are also possible, for example of the order of 30 °, and especially if the shape, size and / or color of the witness allows a good visualization of the change of position.
  • the hinge is a reactive hinge, stable at least in the open position, which facilitates use in the open position, in particular for drinking directly to the container, but also for pouring the contents of the container without the risk of the cap closing up.
  • the hinge has at least two stable positions, respectively corresponding to the open position and the closed position of the cap, which also promotes good closure of the cap.
  • the hinge comprises a strip of material connected by an upper end to a coupling zone of the cap and by a lower end to the ring, and opposite side edges facing corresponding lateral edges of the cap.
  • the hinge in the closed position is not protruding from a peripheral wall of the cap. Because it is not protruding from the cap in the closed position, the hinge can not be damaged by handling shocks. In addition, it does not offer a plug to dust or other pollution during storage.
  • the cap preferably has a protruding tongue radially outwardly, radially opposite the hinge, to facilitate opening.
  • this tongue remains inside a cylinder tangential to an outer periphery of the ring, to prevent it receives shocks during handling and storage.
  • this tongue is disposed in an upper zone located in closed position opposite the ring relative to a plane perpendicular to the reference axis and not cutting the hinge.
  • the cap has a top wall preferably flat and a height measured in the closed position between a lower peripheral rim of the cap and the top wall, the height preferably being smaller than the outer diameter of the ring, preferably less than 2/3 of the outer diameter of the ring.
  • the first part forms an axially projecting spout relative to the attachment groove, the spout preferably having an outer surface having a symmetry of revolution about the reference axis.
  • the cap preferably has an inner sealing skirt, which comes into elastic interference with an inner or outer face of the spout.
  • the closure device consists only of the two parts defined above, although it may be envisaged alternatively a third part, for example a resilient valve disposed in an opening of the base or its pourer , or a pourer reported. Where appropriate, there is provided on the base a witness to identify an attempt to separate the base and the neck of the container.
  • the closure device 10 shown on the Figures 1 to 8 consists of two pieces 12, 14 made of plastic material and assembled to one another.
  • the first piece 12 comprises a base 16 provided with a relief (not shown) for attachment to a container, which may be constituted for example, and in known manner, one or more threads for screwing the base to a collar of container.
  • This base 16 may optionally, in a manner also known, be equipped at its lower end with a tamper evident ring cooperating with the collar of the container to make visible any attempt to separate the first part and the neck of the container.
  • the first piece 12 further comprises a pourer 18 protruding axially with respect to the base 16, this pourer here having an outer surface having a symmetry of revolution about a reference axis 100 of the first piece 12, and a central opening 19.
  • the first piece 12 furthermore has an annular peripheral fixing groove 20 visible on the Figures 5 to 8 , formed in the base and surrounding the pourer 18. This groove 20 is partially closed by an annular attachment relief 22 projecting radially inwardly of the groove 20 and to the pourer 18.
  • the first piece 12 further has retaining tabs 24, here six in number, separated in pairs by notches 26, and protruding from the base 12 in the axial direction facing and at a short distance from a cylindrical wall 28 of the pourer 18.
  • Each of the retaining tongues 24 forms a hooking area with a hook 30 projecting radially inwards and towards the pourer 18.
  • the second piece 14 forms a cap 32, a closed fixing ring 34 defining a reference axis 200 and a hinge 36 connecting the fixing ring 34 to the cap 32 to guide the cap 32 relative to the ring 34 between a position closed illustrated on the figure 1 , and an open position illustrated on the figure 2 , by rotation about an orthoradial axis 300 with respect to the reference axis 200.
