Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising a container and a capping device which is equipped with a cap and makes it possible to keep said cap attached to the neck of the container, which avoids losing the cap in nature.
  • capping devices are known for keeping a cap attached to a neck of the container.
  • Such a capping device is, for example, described in the document EP1406820 Or US2018086510 .
  • the capping device comprises a ring which is intended to be retained on the neck of the container, a cap which is intended to cover the orifice of the container so as to close it, two elastic strips connecting the cap to the lower ring and a blocking device arranged to block the cap in an open tilted position.
  • Such a closure device is not fully satisfactory.
  • this cap is intended to clip onto the neck of the container and cannot be adapted to other types of neck.
  • the movement of the cap between the closed position and the tilted open position is a simple pivoting movement, which limits the height of the cap and/or neck that can be used. This limits the applications of said capping device.
  • it is not suitable for containers intended to receive carbonated drinks because the pressure prevailing inside such containers would lead to unwanted openings of the cap.
  • the blocking device is not suitable for all types of caps and does not provide sufficient reliability to maintain the tilted open position on screwed caps, for example.
  • the document FR 3 094 353 A1 describes (the signs in parentheses referring to this document) an assembly comprising: - a container equipped with a neck (2), the neck (2) comprising a distribution orifice (5), a helical thread (11), rotating around an axis (X), which is provided on the neck (2) and a hooking collar (18), - a capping device comprising: • a lower ring (3) fixed axially to the neck (2) and movable in rotation on the neck (2) around said axis (X), said lower ring (3) comprising a first sector (16) which comprises hooking elements (18) which project radially towards the inside of the ring lower (3) and are arranged below the hooking collar (18) so as to axially retain the lower ring (3) on the neck (2) of the container and a second sector (16), the first sector ( 15) and the second sector (16) of the lower ring (3) being articulated to one another so that the second sector (16) pivots relative to the first sector (15) between a lowered position in in which the second
  • the blocking device guarantees robust blocking, with a significant angle, of the cap in its tilted open position. Furthermore, compared to a blocking device which would include a tab which would be configured to come against the neck of the container, the proposed arrangement makes it possible to limit the radial dimension of the tab. This is particularly advantageous insofar as a stopper having too large a radial dimension is likely to harm the reliability and yield of bottling operations during which the capping devices are notably transported on conveyors before being put into place. place on the containers.
  • such an assembly may have one or more of the following characteristics.
  • the tab and the projecting portion are configured such that, when the cap is in the open tilted position and the second section of the lower ring is in the lowered position, the tab and the projecting portion are in contact with each other in an area located in the plane of the attachment collar.
  • e1 L - e2 + e3 + e4+ ⁇ with ⁇ between 0.05 and 2 mm.
  • the projecting portion projects beyond a lower limit of the external peripheral skirt.
  • the first sector of the lower ring comprises a front zone which is diametrically opposite to the second sector and two attachment zones which are each arranged between the front zone of the first sector and the second sector, the elements of hooking being only arranged in the two hooking zones so as to allow radial movement of the ring lower capable of facilitating the passage of a part of the second sector on either side of the attachment collar during the movement of the second sector between the lowered position and the released position.
  • the tensile forces to be exerted on the lower ring to allow the second sector to move between the lowered position and the raised position are less, which makes it easier to use the capping device.
  • the second sector is devoid of hooking elements.
  • the front zone of the first sector is devoid of hooking elements.
  • the hooking elements are protuberances which project radially inwards.
  • the second sector extends over an angular range of between 90 and 180°.
  • the front zone of the first sector extends over an angular range of between 40 and 150°.
  • each of the two attachment zones extends over an angular range of between 10 and 90°.
  • the first sector and the second sector are separated from each other by two thinned zones in which the lower ring locally has a reduction in radial thickness so as to allow the articulation of the second sector by in relation to the first sector.
  • the lower ring has a sufficiently small thickness to allow the second sector to pivot relative to the first sector without the first sector and the second sector being separated from each other by two zones. thinned.
  • the external peripheral skirt comprises a notched portion and the elastic strips join said external peripheral skirt in said notched portion.
  • the lower ring is connected to the external peripheral skirt by frangible bridges.
  • the capping device is molded in one piece.
  • the slats and the blocking device are configured such that, during the pivoting movement of the cap between the closed position and the tilted open position, the slats are subjected to a traction force which increases until to an intermediate unstable position then which decreases from said intermediate unstable position towards the open tilted position.
  • the opening angle of the cap is greater than 120° and advantageously, greater than or equal to 145°, and for example of the order of 180°.
  • the axis By convention, the "radial” orientation is directed orthogonal to the X axis and the axial orientation is directed parallel to the X axis.
  • the terms “external” and “internal” are used to define the relative position of a element in relation to a other, with reference to the X axis, an element close to the X axis is thus qualified as internal as opposed to an external element located radially on the periphery.
  • upper and lower are used to define the relative position of one element with respect to another with reference to a position in which the orifice 3 of the neck 2 is directed upwards and the plug 1 is in closed position on the neck 2 of the container, an element intended to be placed lower being designated by lower and an element intended to be placed higher being designated by upper.
  • front and back are used to define the relative position of one element to another along a diameter perpendicular to the X axis.
  • an assembly is described below comprising a capping device, in particular shown on the figure 1 , and a container equipped with a neck 2, in particular shown on the figure 2 .
  • the neck 2 of the container has an upper end in which an orifice 3 is provided allowing the contents of the container to be poured out.

  • cap 1 The kinematics of cap 1 are as follows. During the first unscrewing, the cap 1 leaves the closed position and moves away from the lower ring 9 to the released position, illustrated on the Figure 3 . Frangible bridges break during this movement. Furthermore, during this movement of unscrewing the cap 1, the lower ring 9 is rotated around the axis X and the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 pivots towards the raised position as the cap 1 moves away from the attachment collar 5.
  • the cap 1 can then be pivoted rearward towards the open tilted position in which the outer peripheral skirt 14 extends upwards from the upper wall 13.
  • the tab 23 comes to bear against the projecting portion 24 and thus causes the pivoting of the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 pivots from the raised position to the lowered position.
  • the slats 11, 12 as well as the blocking device are configured such that, during a first part of the movement of the plug 4 from the released position to the open tilted position, the two elastic slats 28, 29 are, due to the support of the cleat 23 on the projecting portion 24, subjected to a traction force which increases to an intermediate unstable position then which decreases from said intermediate unstable position towards the open tilted position. This makes it possible to block the cap 1 in the tilted open position.
  • the cap 1 remains in its tilted open position since, due to the aforementioned arrangement, the cap 1 cannot be pivoted towards the released position in which the plug 1 faces the distribution orifice 3 as long as the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 remains in the lowered position.
  • the opening angle of the cap 1 is greater than 120° and advantageously, greater than or equal to 145° and for example of the order of 180°.
  • the opening angle corresponds to the protruding angular sector which is formed at the intersection between a plane parallel to the upper wall 13 of the plug 1 and a horizontal plane.
  • cap 1 To close cap 1, the user tilts cap 1 forward to the released position. During this tilting, the contact between the tab 23 and the projecting portion 24 disappears, which allows the movement of the second sector 17 of the lower ring 9 towards the raised position.
  • the entire closure device is molded in a single piece of synthetic material, such as polyethylene and advantageously high density polyethylene.
  • the capping device is molded in the configuration of the figure 1 , that is to say in a closed position, position in which it can be directly mounted on the neck 2 of the container.
