Definitions

  • the invention relates to a secure opening cap for a container.
  • stoppers The general principle of these stoppers is to require a combination of operations which is in principle beyond the reach of a young child.
  • documents US 5,316,162 And US 5,520,305 describe secure-opening caps comprising a ring adapted to be secured to the neck of a container and a cap removable from the ring.
  • the ring has a circumferential groove and the cap comprises a lug arranged in the groove of the ring.
  • the groove of the ring opens into a groove extending axially towards the cap, the width of the groove being greater than or equal to that of the lug.
  • the cap is pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the cap by sliding the lug in the ring. As long as the lug is not entirely opposite the groove, the cap is thus retained by the ring in the closed position.
  • the cap To open the cap, the cap should be pivoted relative to the ring so as to bring the lug opposite the groove, which allows the cap to be released by a simple pull in the axial direction.
  • the appropriate position is indicated by an alignment of two arrows present respectively on the ring and the cap.
  • the cap can be closed by positioning the lug opposite the groove, pushing in the cap and then pivoting it so as to engage the lug in the circumferential groove and thus hold the cap on the ring.
  • a disadvantage of these caps is that in the open position the cap is detached from the container and is therefore liable to be lost or dropped, with the risk of soiling or damage.
  • An aim of the invention is therefore to design a secure opening cap which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • this cap must make it possible to avoid losing the cap after opening while ensuring that when closing the cap is again in a secure configuration.
  • the secure opening cap comprises a cap secured to a fixing ring by a hinge.
  • the assembly formed by the cap and the fixing ring is pivotally movable relative to a part secured to the container (which may possibly be an integral part of said container) around a longitudinal axis of the cap. Said part defines an outlet orifice of the container.
  • the cap is provided with a lug which, when the cap is in the closed position, is housed in a circumferential groove of the part integral with the container.
  • the respective shapes and dimensions of the lug and the groove are chosen so that the lug can slide in the groove when a user pivots the assembly formed by the cap and the ring relative to the container.
  • the opening of the cap is made possible by the presence of a groove which extends from the groove, emerging from the latter, towards the outlet orifice.
  • said groove is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the cap.
  • inclined is meant that the groove extends in a direction not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap.
  • the groove extends in a direction inclined by 30 to 60° relative to the longitudinal axis of the cap.
  • the groove extends in the opposite direction to that of unscrewing.
  • the dimensions of the lug and said groove are chosen so that the lug can slide in said groove when a user exerts a combined rotation and pulling movement on the cap.
  • the groove Due to its inclination, the groove is configured so that the position of the lug at its entry into the groove, i.e. at the intersection between the circumferential groove and the groove, which defines a start position for unlocking the cap, is angularly offset from the position of the lug at its exit from the groove, i.e. at the end of the groove opposite the groove, which defines a stopper unlocking end position. From this stopper unlocking end position, a user can release the outlet orifice of the container by exerting a pivoting force on the cap about the axis of the hinge, thereby bringing the cap into its open position.
  • the groove and the groove are delimited, on the side of the orifice of the container, by a rib whose shape and dimensions are chosen in accordance with the shape and dimensions of the lug to ensure a particular mechanism for opening and closing the cap, as described below.
  • the rib and the lug are configured so that the lug cannot be extracted from the groove by a pulling movement exerted on the cap in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • Such a function can be ensured, in particular, by the fact that the faces of the lug and the rib which are opposite each other when the cap is in the closed position, extend radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the cap, or in any direction ensuring retention of the lug in the groove.
  • the cap can only be opened by inserting the lug into the groove and applying a combined rotational and pulling movement to the cap to slide the lug in the groove in the direction of the outlet orifice of the container.
  • the rib and the lug are configured so that the lug can be snapped into the groove when the user folds the cap towards the fixing ring, in any position other than the unlocking start position.
  • This function can be ensured, in particular, by the fact that the faces of the lug and the rib which are opposite each other when the cap is in the open position, have respective slopes conducive to the sliding of said faces on each other, associated with a slight elastic deformation of the cap, until the lug is inserted into the groove.
  • this configuration only occurs, for the rib, in the positions distinct from the unlocking start position.
  • the face of the rib is shaped so as to prevent such sliding of the face of the lug; for example, in this area, the face of the rib forms a step high enough to prevent the lug from passing towards the groove.
  • the cap can be closed in any position other than the position at which unlocking begins. This ensures that, after closing, the lug is retained in the groove, at a distance from the intersection with the groove. Consequently, even if the user does not rotate the entire fixing ring and cap relative to the container after folding the cap onto the container, the cap is not in the unlocking position and the secure opening function remains fulfilled. In order to open the cap again, the user must rotate the entire fixing ring and cap to the unlocking start position.
  • the rib forms an obstacle that prevents closing.
  • the user must then pivot the assembly of the fixing ring and the cap relative to the container to present the lug facing a face of the rib allowing the lug to pass through the rib to the groove.
  • this particular configuration of the cap allows the secure opening function to be maintained without the user having to take any particular action when closing.
  • the unlocking start position is indicated, on the integral part of the container and on the fixing ring or the cap, by respective indicators which are aligned in said position.
  • the cap being advantageously produced by molding in plastic material(s), said indicators can simply be molded in hollow or in relief.
  • the hinge may be made by any suitable means.
  • the hinge may be in the form of a plastic film molded with the fixing ring and the cap. The hinge then forms an integral part of the fixing ring and the cap.
  • the hinge may comprise a male part forming an axis and a female part articulated on the male part, one of said parts belonging to the fixing ring and the other to the cap.
  • a separate axis, made of metal or plastic, may provide a pivoting connection between the fixing ring and the cap.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the cap according to one embodiment in an open position.
  • the stopper 1 comprises a first part 10 which is integral with the container 2.
  • Said part 10 advantageously forms at least part of the neck of the container, and defines an outlet orifice 20 of the container.
  • Said first part 10 may be an integral part of the container, as illustrated in the exploded view of the figure 7 , or be a separate part of the container 2, as illustrated in the exploded view of the figure 8 but fixed thereto in an irremovable manner.
  • the part 10 is preferably rigidly connected to the container, i.e. fixed relative to the container.
  • the fixing of the first part to the container may be carried out by any suitable technique, such as welding, gluing, snap-fastening, screwing, etc.
  • the cap further comprises a second part 11, which comprises a fixing ring 110 and a cap 111 secured to the fixing ring by a hinge 114.
  • the second part 11 is pivotally mounted on the first part 10, around a longitudinal axis X of the cap.
  • the fixing ring has an internal diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the region of the first part that it surrounds.
  • the fixing ring and the first part respectively comprise at least one lug and a groove making it possible to hold the fixing ring on the first part while allowing it to pivot relative to the latter.
  • the first part 10 comprises a rib 100 extending in a radial direction. Said rib delimits a circumferential groove 101, as well as a groove 102 which communicates with the groove 101 and extends towards the outlet orifice.
  • the groove 102 is not oriented parallel to the X axis, but is inclined relative to said axis.
  • the end of the groove 102 located on the outlet orifice side is angularly offset relative to the opposite end, which forms the junction with the groove 101.
  • the groove 102 is oriented in the opposite direction to a conventional screw pitch.
  • the cap 111 comprises a bottom adapted to close the outlet orifice and a side wall, of generally cylindrical shape, extending from the bottom.
  • a lug 112 extends radially inwardly of the cap from the side wall.
  • the lug has dimensions adapted to allow it to slide in the groove 101 and in the groove 102.
  • the lug 112 is positioned in the groove 101 and retained therein in the direction of the X axis.
  • the user To open the cap, the user must release the lug 112 from the groove 101 by sliding it into the groove 102, the groove 102 fulfilling the function of a means of unlocking the cap.
  • the appropriate position of the second part relative to the first part to allow this unlocking is materialized by an alignment of two indicators 113, 103 arranged respectively on the second part and on the first part.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 are cutaway views at different stages of cork opening.
  • the cap is in the closed position.
  • the lug 112 is arranged in the groove 101.
  • the indicators present respectively on the first part and the second part are angularly offset.
  • the cap is in the start unlocking position, in which the lug 112 is in the groove 101, opposite the groove 102.
  • the user has turned the second part relative to the first part so as to align the indicators 103, 113.
  • the cap is in the end-of-unlocking position, in which the lug comes out of the groove 102, by the end opposite the groove 101.
  • the user has turned the second part clockwise (which is the opposite direction to that of unscrewing) while exerting a slight pull in the X direction to engage the lug in the groove 102 and then slide it in said groove. This may involve a slight twisting of the second part, which is made possible by its plastic material construction.
  • the user rotates the cap around the hinge axis, thus reaching the position of the figure 1 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the cap open during an attempt to close it from the unlocking start position (the indicators 103, 113 being aligned).
  • the portion 1000 of the rib arranged opposite the lug 112 has a shape and thickness adapted to obstruct the passage of the lug, and thus prevents the cap from closing in this position. This position is in fact not desirable for closing because, with the lug opposite the groove, the cap would no longer be locked, allowing a child to open it easily.
  • the first part 10 is formed integrally with the container.
  • the first part which is part of the neck of the container, may be formed by molding, and the remainder of the container by blowing.
  • the first part 10 is distinct from the container, but configured to be secured to it irreversibly, for example by welding or any other suitable means.
  • THE figures 9 And 10 are cross-sectional views of the cap of the figures 7 And 8 , respectively, in the closed position.
  • the lug 112 has a face 1120 located on the side of the outlet orifice, which extends in a radial direction, like the face of the rib 100 which faces it. This face 1120 therefore forms a step which prevents the passage of the lug above the rib 100 and consequently prevents the opening of the cap.
  • the lug 112 also has a face 1121 located on the side of the bottom of the container, which is inclined relative to the radial direction. This face 1121 therefore forms a slope suitable for sliding on the rib 100 when closing the cap.
  • the cap may include other features commonly sought after in caps.
  • the cap may include a seal.
  • the seal may be in the form of an elastomer disk 115 arranged in the bottom of the cap. When the cap is in the closed position, said seal 115 is interposed between the end of the first part 10 and the cap 111, thus ensuring a hermetic closure of the outlet orifice 20.
  • the cap may include a cover, removable when the cap is first opened.
  • the cover 104 is sealed on the end of the first part 10, thus closing the outlet orifice.
  • the cover advantageously comprises a tab facilitating gripping by the user for the purpose of removing the cover.
  • the cap may include a reducer of the passage section, having a reduced section compared to that of the first part, in order to facilitate the dosing of the product contained in the container.
  • the reducer 105 may be an integral part of the first part 10 or be secured to it by any suitable means.
