Abstract

An abutment face is provided in or adjacent the shoulder of a bottle or other container onto the neck of which a cap is screwed to seal the bottle. The cap has two parts-an inner part which screw-threadedly engages the neck and resiliently seals with it; and an outer part which is in driving engagement with the inner part. In order to ensure proper orientation of the outer part with the body of the bottle (if for example a flat surface on the outer part is to be aligned with a flat surface on the body of the bottle) while still ensuring a seal between the inner part and the bottle, a stop face is provided inside the outer part and, when the inner part has already sealed, abuts with the abutment face to cause such orientation. Upon initial capping of the bottle, the inner part is screwed tight onto the neck and the outer part is then forced over the inner part in a proper orientation until engagement between them is established.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de positionnement d'un bouchon sur un récipient destiné en particulier mais non exclusivement aux flacons de parfum.The present invention relates to a device for positioning a stopper on a container intended in particular but not exclusively for perfume bottles.

On sait que la plupart des flacons sont fermés par un bouchon qui se visse sur le col ou goulot, un joint d'étanchéité étant interposé entre la partie supérieure du col du flacon et de la couronne intérieure du bouchon. La fermeture est obtenue par un mouvement en hélice (rotation plus translation) du bouchon sur le col lors de la fermeture du flacon, le joint s'écrase freinant ainsi le mouvement de translation, alors que le mouvement de rotation peut continuer en fonction du couple de force exercé sur le bouchon. Il en résulte que par rapport au corps du flacon proprement dit, la position du bouchon peut varier d'un angle qui est de l'ordre de 90°, cet angle dépendant bien entendu du pas du filetage.It is known that most of the bottles are closed by a stopper which screws onto the neck or neck, a seal being interposed between the upper part of the neck of the bottle and the inner crown of the stopper. The closure is obtained by a helical movement (rotation plus translation) of the stopper on the neck when the bottle is closed, the seal crashes thus braking the translational movement, while the rotational movement can continue depending on the torque force exerted on the cap. As a result, relative to the body of the bottle itself, the position of the stopper can vary by an angle which is of the order of 90 °, this angle of course depending on the pitch of the thread.

Ce fait ne constitue pas un inconvénient notable lorsque le bouchon et le flacon sont à symétrie de révolution. Il n'en va pas de même lorsque le flacon et/ou le bouchon présentent des sections polygonales et, par exemple, carrées. En effet, le bouchon est dans ce cas le plus souvent de travers, ce qui nuit notablement à la présentation de l'ensemble.This fact does not constitute a notable disadvantage when the stopper and the bottle are symmetrical in revolution. This is not the same when the bottle and / or the stopper have polygonal and, for example, square sections. Indeed, the plug is in this case most often crooked, which significantly affects the presentation of the assembly.

On sait, d'autre part, que dans l'industrie du parfum, le produit introduit dans le flacon étant par essence très volatil, il est nécessaire de disposer d'une fermeture qui assure un jointage parfait. Dans ce but, il est connu de disposer à l'intérieur du bouchon proprement dit une jupe striée extérieurement et filetée intérieurement qui, par déformation élastique absorbe les différences de cotes venant de la fabrication et assure l'étanchéité par un contact intime avec le verre.We know, on the other hand, that in the perfume industry, the product introduced into the bottle being in essence very volatile, it is necessary to have a closure which ensures perfect jointing. For this purpose, it is known to have inside the plug proper an externally ribbed and internally threaded skirt which, by elastic deformation absorbs the differences in dimensions coming from manufacturing and seals by intimate contact with the glass.

Un objet de l'invention est la réalisation d'un dispositif simple qui assure un positionnement déterminé du bouchon par rapport au corps du récipient.An object of the invention is the production of a simple device which ensures a determined positioning of the stopper relative to the body of the container.

Selon la présente invention, le dispositif de positionnement d'un bouchon sur un récipient, le bouchon muni d'une jupe striée et filetée, interne, pouvant se visser sur le col du flacon muni d'un filetage correspondant, est caractérisé en ce que l'épaulement du flacon comprend au moins une surface de butée radiale par rapport à l'axe du col contre laquelle vient porter une surface radiale d'au moins une pièce d'arrêt formée à l'intérieur du bouchon et à la partie inférieure de celui-ci.According to the present invention, the device for positioning a stopper on a container, the stopper provided with an internal ribbed and threaded skirt, which can be screwed onto the neck of the bottle provided with a corresponding thread, is characterized in that the shoulder of the bottle comprises at least one radial abutment surface with respect to the axis of the neck against which comes a radial surface of at least one stopper formed inside the stopper and at the lower part of this one.

Ainsi, le mouvement de translation du bouchon étant plus ou moins stoppé par l'action du haut du col sur la jupe striée, le mouvement de rotation est bloqué par la butée. On est alors sûr que le bouchon s'arrêtera dans une position déterminée par rapport au corps du flacon.Thus, the translational movement of the plug being more or less stopped by the action of the top of the neck on the ridged skirt, the rotational movement is blocked by the stop. We are sure that the stopper will stop in a determined position relative to the body of the bottle.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les sections du flacon et du bouchon étant sensiblement carrées, la surface de butée s'étend dans la direction d'un plan diagonal du flacon.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sections of the bottle and the stopper being substantially square, the abutment surface extends in the direction of a diagonal plane of the bottle.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des figures qui représentent :

  • - la figure 1 une vue extérieure du flacon actuellement sur le marché ;
  • - la figure 2, une vue d'un flacon selon l'invention, le bouchon étant séparé du corps du flacon ;
  • - la figure 3, une coupe partielle de l'ex- trémité supérieure du flacon et du bouchon
  • - la figure 4, une vue en coupe selon la ligne A-A de la figure 3.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the figures which represent:
  • - Figure 1 an external view of the bottle currently on the market;
  • - Figure 2, a view of a bottle according to the invention, the cap being separated from the body of the bottle;
  • - Figure 3, a partial section of the upper end of the bottle and the stopper
  • - Figure 4, a sectional view along line AA of Figure 3.

La figure 1 représente un type de flacon actuellement dans le commerce qui ne se différencie pas extérieurement d'un flacon muni <t'un dispositif selon l'invention. Ce flacon comporte un corps 1 et un bouchon 2 vissé sur le corps 1. Le problème qui est résolu par l'invention est celui du parallélisme du côté la du corps du flacon avec le côté 2a du bouchon.FIG. 1 represents a type of bottle currently on the market which does not differ from the outside with a bottle fitted with a device according to the invention. This bottle comprises a body 1 and a stopper 2 screwed onto the body 1. The problem which is solved by the invention is that of the parallelism on the side 1a of the body of the bottle with the side 2a of the stopper.

Comme cela apparaît mieux sur la figure 2, ce problème est résolu par la formation sur l'épaulement d'une surface de butée susceptible de coopérer avec une pièce d'arrêt formée dans le bouchon extérieur 2. On voit sur la figure 2 que le corps 1 est réuni, par l'intermédiaire d'une collerette 3 faisant partie de l'épaulement, à un col 4. Le col 4 est fileté, les filets 5 pouvant coopérer avec un filetage 5a intérieur à la jupe interne 21 portant des striures 22 qui par coopération avec des reliefs correspondants assurent la solidarisation du bouchon et de la jupe. Une bague 8 assure le centrage du bouchon sur le col. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 2, une surépaisseur 6 prévue sur la collerette 3 présente une face de butée 6a. Cette face de butée 6a coopère lors de la fermeture du flacon avec une pièce d'arrêt 7 formée à l'intérieur du bouchon extérieur et la partie inférieure de celui-ci. Lors du vissage du bouchon sur le col, la pièce d'arrêt tourne librement autour du col jusqu'à ce que, par suite du mouvement de translation du bouchon, elle soit susceptible de venir en contact par sa face 7 avec la surépaisseur 6 formant butée. Le mouvement de rotation est ainsi bloqué ce qui assure le positionnement voulu du bouchon sur le corps du flacon, plus généralement la surface de butée 6a peut être constituée par un creux formé dans l'épaulement lui-même lors de la fabrication du flacon.As appears better in FIG. 2, this problem is solved by the formation on the shoulder of a stop surface capable of cooperating with a stopper formed in the outer plug 2. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the body 1 is joined, via a collar 3 forming part of the shoulder, to a neck 4. The neck 4 is threaded, the threads 5 being able to cooperate with a thread 5a inside the internal skirt 21 carrying striations 22 which, by cooperation with corresponding reliefs, secure the plug and the skirt. A ring 8 ensures the centering of the stopper on the neck. As shown in FIG. 2, an additional thickness 6 provided on the collar 3 has an abutment face 6a. This abutment face 6a cooperates during the closure of the bottle with a stopper 7 formed inside the outer cap and the lower part thereof. When the cap is screwed onto the neck, the stopper rotates freely around the neck until, as a result of the translational movement of the cap, it is capable of coming into contact by its face 7 with the extra thickness 6 forming stop. The rotational movement is thus blocked which ensures the desired positioning of the stopper on the body of the bottle, more generally the abutment surface 6a can be constituted by a hollow formed in the shoulder itself during the manufacture of the bottle.

Le problème de l'étanchéité de la fermeture peut être résolu par différents moyens classiques :

  • - joint liège + obturateur plastique souple
  • - autojointage à lèvres avec adjonction éventuelle d'un insert du type stiligoutte.
The problem of sealing the closure can be solved by various conventional means:
  • - cork seal + flexible plastic shutter
  • - lip self-sealing with possible addition of a stiligoutte type insert.

En tout état de cause, il faut que l'étanchéité se produise lors du vissage de la capsule striée 21, la pose du bouchon extérieur 2 se faisant verticalement sur la capsule jusqu'à encliquetage du jonc 24 de la jupe 21 dans la gorge 25 du bouchon.In any event, the seal must occur when the ribbed capsule 21 is screwed on, the fitting of the outer plug 2 being done vertically on the capsule until the ring 24 of the skirt 21 is snapped into the groove 25 of the plug.

Les figures 3 et 4 sont des coupes respectives selon la ligne B-B de la figure 4 et selon la ligne A-A de la figure 3, montrant le bouchon en position d'obturation du col du flacon. On voit sur ces figures que la surface 7a de la pièce d'arrêt 7 vient en butée contre la surface 6a de la surépaisseur 6. Le joint 12 assure l'étanchéité en coopération avec le téton ou insert 13.Figures 3 and 4 are respective sections along line B-B of Figure 4 and along line A-A of Figure 3, showing the cap in the closed position of the neck of the bottle. It can be seen in these figures that the surface 7a of the stopper 7 abuts against the surface 6a of the additional thickness 6. The seal 12 provides sealing in cooperation with the stud or insert 13.

Bien que dans l'exemple représenté le mouvement de rotation du bouchon soit arrêté par une seule butée, il est évident que l'on peut prévoir sur la collerette 3 ou sur l'épaulement proprement dit plusieurs surépaisseurs coopérant lors de la fermeture avec plusieurs surfaces d'arrêt formées à l'intérieur du. bouchon. Bien entendu, la forme du flacon et du bouchon ne constituent pas des limitations à la présente invention et celle-ci peut être mise en oeuvre par exemple avec un bouchon de forme générale cylindrique comprenant un méplat dont on veut être sûr qu'il se situe exactement dans le prolongement de l'étiquette en vue d'assurer une présentation originale.Although in the example shown the rotational movement of the stopper is stopped by a single stop, it is obvious that one can provide on the flange 3 or on the shoulder itself several extra thicknesses cooperating during the closure with several surfaces formed inside. plug. Of course, the shape of the bottle and the stopper do not constitute limitations to the present invention and it can be implemented for example with a stopper of generally cylindrical shape comprising a flat which one wants to be sure that it is located exactly in line with the label in order to ensure an original presentation.

La capsule ou jupe interne striée 21 destinée à assurer l'étanchéité est réalisée en un matériau plus souple que le bouchon extérieur 2. En effet, elle doit réagir aux différentes forces qui la sollicitent et l'insert 13 doit pénétrer à l'intérieur du col du flacon et appuyer sur la surface interne pour assurer l'étanchéité.The internal striated capsule or skirt 21 intended to ensure the seal is made of a more flexible material than the outer plug 2. In fact, it must react to the various forces which request it and the insert 13 must penetrate inside the neck of the bottle and press on the internal surface to ensure sealing.

Le bouchage du flacon en usine se fait après remplissage de celui-ci en deux temps :

  • 1 - pose de la capsule ou jupe cylindrique 21 striée par rotation autour du col jusqu'à ce qu'un contact convenable soit établi entre les éléments de la paroi interne (y compris éventuellement le joint) et le col du flacon ;
  • 2 - pose du bouchon extérieur autour de la capsule par superposition et encliquetage, le jonc 24 venant à l'intérieur de la gorge 25 de sorte que les faces du bouchon extérieur soient en regard des faces du flacon.
The bottle is capped in the factory after filling it in two stages:
  • 1 - fitting of the cylindrical capsule or skirt 21 striated by rotation around the neck until a suitable contact is established between the elements of the internal wall (possibly including the seal) and the neck of the bottle;
  • 2 - fitting of the outer cap around the capsule by superposition and snap-fastening, the rod 24 coming inside the groove 25 so that the faces of the outer cap are opposite the faces of the bottle.

Si cela est nécessaire, le bouchon extérieur peut subir une légère rotation par rapport à la capsule intérieure de manière ce que la pièce d'arrêt vienne au contact de la butée, ce qui est possible malgré les striures ou cannelures de la jupe 21 compte tenu de la souplesse du matériau constructif. Ainsi, la position du bouchon extérieur par rapport à la jupe intérieure en position d'étanchéité est exactement définie.If necessary, the outer plug can undergo a slight rotation relative to the inner capsule so that the stopper comes into contact with the stop, which is possible despite the striations or grooves of the skirt 21 taking into account flexibility of the construction material. Thus, the position of the outer plug relative to the inner skirt in the sealing position is exactly defined.

Pour l'utilisatrice du produit contenu dans le flacon, tout se passe comme si il n'y avait qu'un seul bouchon puisque lors de la rotation dans le sens de dévissage la jupe interne est entraînée par ses striures ou cannelures par le bouchon extérieur.For the user of the product contained in the bottle, everything happens as if there was only one stopper since during the rotation in the unscrewing direction the internal skirt is driven by its striations or grooves by the external stopper .

Lors du rebouchage, la jupe interne retrouve sa position d'étanchéité au cours du dernier tour de revissage et le mouvement de rotation est automatiquement arrêté dans la position voulue par la butée.During the filling, the internal skirt returns to its sealing position during the last screwing turn and the rotational movement is automatically stopped in the position desired by the stop.

On notera, et cela apparait très clairement sur la figure 1, que la jupe du bouchon 2 masque complètement le dispositif selon l'invention lorsque le flacon est fermé.It will be noted, and this appears very clearly in FIG. 1, that the skirt of the plug 2 completely masks the device according to the invention when the bottle is closed.

Il va de soi que des modifications peuvent être apportées au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, notamment par substitution de moyens techniques équivalents sans sortir pour cela du cadre de la présente invention.It goes without saying that modifications can be made to the embodiment which has just been described, in particular by substitution of equivalent technical means without departing from the scope of the present invention.
