Description

Obturateur mobile en rotation pour boite de conditionnement de liquide. Mobile rotating shutter for liquid packaging box.
La présente invention concerne une boîte de conditionnement de liquide et notamment de boisson gazeuse ou plate.The present invention relates to a box for packaging liquid and in particular carbonated or flat drink.
L'invention vise à améliorer l'utilisation de la boîte, communément appelée "canette", après l'ouverture de celle-ci. En effet, le type de boîte dont il s'agit ici possède un système d'ouverture qui ne permet pas, comme c'est le cas pour la plupart des bouteilles, de refermer la boîte après sa première ouverture. Le principe d'ouverture de telles boîtes consiste en effet à enfoncer une partie de la plaque supérieure de fermeture en direction de l'intérieur de la boîte , ou à enlever définitivement une portion d'ouverture de cette plaque, ce qui a pour résultat de laisser une ouverture dans la plaque pour l'écoulement du liquide.The invention aims to improve the use of the box, commonly known as a "can", after opening it. Indeed, the type of box in question here has an opening system which does not allow, as is the case for most bottles, to close the box after its first opening. The principle of opening such boxes consists in fact of pushing part of the upper closure plate towards the interior of the box, or permanently removing an opening portion of this plate, which has the result of leave an opening in the plate for the liquid to flow out.
Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, la portion enlevée ou enfoncée ne peut plus revenir en position initiale et l'ouverture d'écoulement du liquide demeure, laissant ainsi la canette débouchée.In either case, the removed or pressed portion can no longer return to the initial position and the liquid flow opening remains, thus leaving the can unclogged.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il a déjà été proposé d'utiliser différents types de pièces rapportées, formant bouchons, pour empêcher le liquide contenu dans la boîte de s'écouler. Ces pièces rapportées peuvent, par exemple, consister en certaines pièces en matière plastique qui font office de bouchon et viennent pénétrer au moins partiellement dans l'ouverture d'écoulement du liquide, tout en coopérant avec les parois de l'ouverture pour leur maintien en position de fermeture. II a aussi été proposé d'utiliser des couvercles en matière plastique souple qui viennent envelopper élastique- ment la partie haute de la boîte, faisant ainsi office de couvercle de la boîte.To remedy this drawback, it has already been proposed to use different types of inserts, forming plugs, to prevent the liquid contained in the box from flowing. These added parts can, for example, consist of certain plastic parts which act as a plug and come at least partially penetrate into the liquid flow opening, while cooperating with the walls of the opening to keep them in closed position. It has also been proposed to use flexible plastic covers which come to wrap elastic- the upper part of the box, thus acting as the box cover.
Cependant, ces dispositifs présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients. En effet, il s'agit dans chaque cas de pièces rapportées totalement indépendantes de la boîte elle-même. Ces dispositifs, par nature peu pratiques à utiliser, présentent en outre les inconvénients de pouvoir s'égarer facilement, rendant ainsi l'obturation de l'ouverture d'écoulement impossible. De plus, étant indépendants de la boîte, il faut se les procurer indépendamment de la boîte elle-même et les mettre en place soi-même.However, these devices have a number of drawbacks. In fact, in each case these are completely independent attachments from the box itself. These devices, which are inherently impractical to use, also have the disadvantages of being able to get lost easily, thus making it impossible to close the flow opening. In addition, being independent of the box, it is necessary to obtain them independently of the box itself and to set them up yourself.
Lorsque le bouchon est commercialisé avec la boîte, son agencement initial pour être associé à la boîte est peu pratique et nécessite des modifications du condition nement des boîtes qui sont de préférence vendues par paquets ou "packs".When the stopper is sold with the box, its initial arrangement for being associated with the box is impractical and requires modifications to the packaging of the boxes which are preferably sold in packs or "packs".
Afin de remédier à ces inconvénients, l'invention propose une boîte de conditionnement d'un liquide, notamment de boisson , du type comportant une plaque supérieure de fermeture étanche dont une portion détachable permet de former une ouverture d'écoulement du liquide, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un élément d'obturation de l'ouverture monté mobile sur la boîte, et adjacent à la plaque supérieure de fermeture.In order to remedy these drawbacks, the invention provides a box for packaging a liquid, in particular a drink, of the type comprising an upper sealed closure plate, a detachable portion of which makes it possible to form a liquid flow opening, characterized in that it comprises an element for closing the opening mounted movably on the box, and adjacent to the upper closure plate.
L'invention permet ainsi d'adjoindre à la boîte elle- même, et telle qu'elle existe actuellement, un système d'obturation de l'ouverture d'écoulement qui soit solidaire de la boîte et qui ne modifie pas sa conformation générale et son encombrement.The invention thus makes it possible to add to the box itself, and as it currently exists, a system for closing the flow opening which is integral with the box and which does not modify its general conformation and its size.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 5 plus particu- lierement la partie supérieure d'une boîte de condition nement 10. Cette boîte 10 comprend à son extrémité supérieure 12 une plaque supérieure de fermeture étanche 14, qui est sertie, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité de la boîte 10, sur le bord d'extrémité supérieure 12 du corps 1 1 de forme générale cylindrique.FIGS. 1 to 5 show more particularly the upper part of a packaging box 10. This box 10 comprises at its upper end 12 an upper sealing closure plate 14, which is crimped, in order to ensure the sealing of the box 10, on the upper end edge 12 of the body 1 1 of generally cylindrical shape.
La plaque supérieure de fermeture étanche 14 comporte une portion excentrée d'ouverture 16 détachable prévue pour être enfoncée afin de former une ouverture 17 permettant l'écoulement du liquide de la boîte vers l'extérieur.The upper sealed closure plate 14 has a detachable eccentric opening portion 16 provided for be pressed to form an opening 17 allowing the liquid to flow from the box to the outside.
A proximité de la portion d'ouverture 16, et occupant le centre de la plaque supérieure de fermeture, est serti un rivet 1 8 sur lequel est monté pivotant un levier d'ouverture 22.Near the opening portion 16, and occupying the center of the upper closing plate, is crimped a rivet 18 on which is pivotally mounted an opening lever 22.
Selon une conception connue, le levier 22 est monté sur la boîte de conditionnement 10 par la tête 19 du rivet 18, la partie d u levier 22 attenante au rivet 18 constituant u n moyen d'articulation formant l'axe de pivotement Y-Y du levier 22 qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe général X-X de la boîte.According to a known design, the lever 22 is mounted on the packaging box 10 by the head 19 of the rivet 18, the part of the lever 22 adjoining the rivet 18 constituting an articulation means forming the pivot axis YY of the lever 22 which is perpendicular to the general axis XX of the box.
L'application d'une force verticale vers le haut sur une partie arrière 24 du levier 22 entraîne le pivotement d u levier 22 autour de son axe Y-Y et l'application de la force par une partie avant 26 du levier 22, qui constitue ainsi u n point d'enfoncement, sur la portion d'ouverture 16 de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14.The application of a vertical upward force on a rear part 24 of the lever 22 causes the lever 22 to pivot about its axis YY and the application of the force by a front part 26 of the lever 22, which thus constitutes a insertion point, on the opening portion 16 of the upper closure plate 14.
La circonférence de la portion d'ouverture 1 6 de la plaque supérieure 14 étant pré-frag ilisée, l'application d'une force verticale vers le bas par le point d'enfoncement 26 provoque l'enfoncement de la portion d'ouverture 16 à l'intérieur de la boîte 10 formant ainsi l'ouverture 17 d'écoulement du liquide.The circumference of the opening portion 1 6 of the upper plate 14 being pre-frag ilized, the application of a downward vertical force by the insertion point 26 causes the opening portion 16 to sink. inside the box 10 thus forming the opening 17 for the flow of the liquid.
Le levier 22 peut alors être ramené à sa position initiale au contact de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 dans laquelle il s'étend sensiblement horizontalement et dans laquelle il est entièrement agencé dans l'espace délimité verticalement par le bord supérieur serti de la plaque de fermeture 14.The lever 22 can then be brought back to its initial position in contact with the upper closure plate 14 in which it extends substantially horizontally and in which it is entirely arranged in the space delimited vertically by the upper crimped edge of the plate closure 14.
Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention , et comme cela est plus particulièrement visible selon le montage de la figure 1 , on interpose axialement entre la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 et le levier 22, un élément d'obturation mobile 20.In accordance with the teachings of the invention, and as is more particularly visible according to the assembly of FIG. 1, there is interposed axially between the plate upper closure 14 and lever 22, a movable closure element 20.
L'élément d'obturation 20 comporte un perçage circulaire 28 qui est engagé du haut vers le bas sur le rivet 1 8. Ainsi disposé, l'élément mobile 20 est libre en rotation autour de l'axe de rotation formé par le corps du rivet 18. La plaque supérieure de fixation 14, l'élément mobile d'obturation 20 et le levier 22 ont une disposition, avant toute manipulation , que l'on peut voir en particulier sur la figure 2. Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention , l'élément d'obturation 20 et le levier 22 sont montés sur le rivet 18, et sont maintenus axialement par la tête 19 du rivet 18 qui est formée à l'extérieur de la boîte 10, par écrasement, après la mise en place des différentes pièces à maintenir. Selon le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 1 à 7, le levier 22 est superposé à la partie arrière de l'élément d'obturation 20. La partie avant 33 de l'élément d'obturation 20 est dégagée, comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur les figures 6 et 7, afin de permettre, en vue de la première ouverture, à la partie avant 26 du levier 22 d'opérer l'enfoncement de la portion d'ouverture 16 de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 conformément à la conception existante.The shutter element 20 has a circular bore 28 which is engaged from top to bottom on the rivet 1 8. Thus disposed, the movable element 20 is free to rotate about the axis of rotation formed by the body of the rivet 18. The upper fixing plate 14, the movable closure element 20 and the lever 22 have an arrangement, before any manipulation, which can be seen in particular in FIG. 2. In accordance with the teachings of the invention , the closure element 20 and the lever 22 are mounted on the rivet 18, and are held axially by the head 19 of the rivet 18 which is formed outside of the box 10, by crushing, after the establishment different parts to maintain. According to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, the lever 22 is superimposed on the rear part of the shutter element 20. The front part 33 of the shutter element 20 is released, as can be seen more particularly in FIGS. 6 and 7, in order to allow, for the first opening, the front part 26 of the lever 22 to operate the insertion of the opening portion 16 of the upper closure plate 14 in accordance with the existing design.
L'élément d'obturation 20, comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur la figure 6, possède sur une face inférieure 30 une partie en relief 32 dont la forme est complémentaire de celle de l'ouverture 17 d'écoulement d u liquide. Ainsi, lors de la rotation de l'élément d'obturation 20, le relief 32 épouse la forme de l'ouverture d'écoulement 17 du liquide, laissée libre par la portion d'ouverture 16, assurant ainsi une meilleure obturation de l'ouverture d'écoulement 17. Cette obturation de l'ouverture d'écoulement 17 par le relief 32 de l'élément mobile 20 est détaillée sur la figure 5.The closure element 20, as can be seen more particularly in FIG. 6, has on a lower face 30 a raised part 32 whose shape is complementary to that of the opening 17 for the flow of the liquid. Thus, during the rotation of the closure element 20, the relief 32 follows the shape of the liquid flow opening 17, left free by the opening portion 16, thus ensuring better sealing of the flow opening 17. This closure of the flow opening 17 by the relief 32 of the movable element 20 is detailed in FIG. 5.
L'élément d'obturation 20 possède une forme générale de secteur de disque selon un angle d'environ 225° . L'élément d'obturation 20 délimite une zone avant dégagée 33 qui permet à la partie avant 26 du levier 22 d'enfoncer la plaque d'ouverture 16.The closure element 20 has a general shape of a disc sector at an angle of approximately 225 °. The shutter element 20 delimits a clear front zone 33 which allows the front part 26 of the lever 22 to push the opening plate 16.
L'élément d'obturation 20, comme illustré plus particulièrement à la figure 7, comporte sur sa face supérieure 34 une rainure 36, située sur la partie arrière de l'élément d'obturation mobile 20. Cette rainure permet d'accueillir au moins en partie le levier 22 en position horizontale initiale ou après ouverture. De plus, cette rainure 36 permet une préhension aisée de la partie arrière 24 du levier 22. Les bords parallèles 38 et 40 de la rainure 36 se prolongent chacun selon une direction sensiblement radiale, par des bords divergents 42 et 44 qui délimitent deux encoches ouvertes, diamétralement opposées et symétriques par rapport à la rainure 36. Les parties de l'élément d'obturation 20 délimitées d'un coté par les parois 38 et 40 de la rainure 36 et d'un autre coté par les encoches 42 et 44, et qui sont donc sensiblement en relief par rapport à l'élément d'obturation 20, comportent chacune dans sa partie latérale en forme d'arc de cercle un chanfrein 46 ou 48. Ces chanfreins 46 et 48 permettent de faciliter la mise en place de l'extrémité inférieure d'une autre boite en cas d'empilage.The closure element 20, as illustrated more particularly in FIG. 7, has on its upper face 34 a groove 36, located on the rear part of the movable closure element 20. This groove makes it possible to accommodate at least partly the lever 22 in the initial horizontal position or after opening. In addition, this groove 36 allows easy gripping of the rear part 24 of the lever 22. The parallel edges 38 and 40 of the groove 36 each extend in a substantially radial direction, by divergent edges 42 and 44 which delimit two open notches , diametrically opposite and symmetrical with respect to the groove 36. The parts of the closure element 20 delimited on one side by the walls 38 and 40 of the groove 36 and on the other side by the notches 42 and 44, and which are therefore substantially in relief with respect to the closure element 20, each have in its lateral part in the form of an arc of a chamfer 46 or 48. These chamfers 46 and 48 make it possible to facilitate the positioning of the lower end of another box if stacked.
Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention , la boîte 10 se présente avant son ouverture comme sur la fig ure 2.In accordance with the teachings of the invention, the box 10 is presented before its opening as in FIG. 2.
Pour l'utilisation de la boîte 10, l'utilisateur soulève dans un premier temps l'extrémité arrière 24 du levier 22, ce qui a pour résultat de transmettre une force à la partie avant 26 du levier 22 q ui enfonce la portion d'ouverture 16. Le levier 22 est alors ramené en position in itiale, horizontalement sur l'élément d'obtu ration 20, entre les bords 38 et 40, comme illustré figure 3.To use the box 10, the user first lifts the rear end 24 of the lever 22, this which results in transmitting a force to the front part 26 of the lever 22 which pushes the opening portion 16. The lever 22 is then returned to the initial position, horizontally on the shutter element 20, between the edges 38 and 40, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Après une utilisation de la boîte 1 0 et pour la refermer, l'utilisateur fait tourner l'élément d'obturation 20 de 1 80° , en poussant simplement l'une des encoches 42 ou 44 q ui sont prévues pour recevoir ses doigts. Lorsque le demi-tour est effectué, l'ouverture 17 est fermée par la partie en relief 32 de la face inférieure 30 de l'élément d'obturation 20, comme on peut le voir en particulier sur la fig ure 4.After using the box 1 0 and to close it, the user rotates the closure element 20 by 180 °, by simply pushing one of the notches 42 or 44 which are provided for receiving his fingers. When the U-turn is made, the opening 17 is closed by the raised part 32 of the underside 30 of the shutter element 20, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 4.
L'adjonction d'un élément mobile rotatif, tel que l'élément d'obturation 20 décrit, permet de conserver le mode de fabrication connu de la boîte. En effet, l'élément d'obturation 20 est juste interposé entre la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 et le levier 22, sans aucun dépassement ni radial, ni en hauteur. De plus, la forme du relief 32 présente l'avantage de pouvoir s'adapter à différentes formes de l'ouverture d'écoulement 17 du liquide.The addition of a rotary movable element, such as the closure element 20 described, makes it possible to preserve the known manufacturing method of the box. Indeed, the shutter element 20 is just interposed between the upper closure plate 14 and the lever 22, without any overshoot, neither radial, nor in height. In addition, the shape of the relief 32 has the advantage of being able to adapt to different shapes of the liquid flow opening 17.
De plus, la forme, l'épaisseur et l'agencement de l'élément d'obturation 20 sur la boite 10 permettent un empilage habituel des boites les unes sur les autres, sans aucune modification du procédé de conditionnement des boites.In addition, the shape, thickness and arrangement of the closure element 20 on the box 10 allow the boxes to be stacked one on top of the other without any modification to the method of packaging the boxes.
Après l'ouverture de la boîte 1 0, l'élément d'obturation 20 qui est maintenu en serrage axial par la tête 19 du rivet 18, peut tourner autour de son axe. Cependant la surface de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 n'est pas uniforme et comporte des gorges et des reliefs. En particulier, l'ouverture d'écoulement 1 7 est située dans une partie basse pour permettre à la partie en relief 32 de la face inférieure 30 de l'élément d'obtu ration 20 de venir engager l'ouverture d'écoulement 17. Pour permettre sa rotation , l'élément d'obturation 20 possède une élasticité suffisante pour pouvoir franchir les différents creux et reliefs. D'autre part, durant l'ouverture de la boîte 10, le levier d'ouverture 22 et le rivet 1 8 sont fortement sollicités et sont partiellement déformés. Ceci laisse un peu plus de liberté axiale à l'élément d'obturation 20, q ui peut franchir aisément les différentes rainures de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14. L'élément d'obturation 20 peut être réalisé, comme le reste de la boîte 10, en tôle fine, découpée et emboutie afin de lui donner la forme voulue, ce qui présente les avantages d'être particulièrement économique et de pouvoir s'inscrire sans modification coûteuse ou importante dans la phase de montage de la boîte 10. Cependant cet élément d'obturation 20 peut aussi être réalisé dans toute autre matière compatible avec le contenu de la boîte 1 0 , par exemple dans certains plastiques.After opening the box 1 0, the closure element 20 which is held in axial clamping by the head 19 of the rivet 18, can rotate about its axis. However, the surface of the upper closure plate 14 is not uniform and has grooves and reliefs. In particular, the flow opening 1 7 is located in a lower part to allow the raised part 32 of the lower face 30 to the shutter element 20 coming to engage the flow opening 17. To allow its rotation, the shutter element 20 has sufficient elasticity to be able to cross the various hollows and reliefs. On the other hand, during the opening of the box 10, the opening lever 22 and the rivet 1 8 are highly stressed and are partially deformed. This leaves a little more axial freedom to the closure element 20, which can easily pass through the different grooves of the upper closure plate 14. The closure element 20 can be produced, like the rest of the box. 10, made of thin sheet metal, cut and stamped in order to give it the desired shape, which has the advantages of being particularly economical and of being able to register without costly or significant modification in the assembly phase of the box 10. However, this obturation element 20 can also be made of any other material compatible with the content of box 1 0, for example in certain plastics.
A titre de variante, différentes formes de l'élément mobile 20 peuvent être envisagées. Par exemple, l'élément mobile 20 peut être un simple bras d'une largeur sensiblement supérieure à celle de la portion d'ouverture 16, dont la partie inférieure 30 comporte le relief 32, et la partie supérieure 34 une seule encoche permettant la rotation de l'élément d'obturation 20.As a variant, different forms of the movable element 20 can be envisaged. For example, the movable element 20 can be a single arm with a width substantially greater than that of the opening portion 16, the lower part 30 of which has the relief 32, and the upper part 34 a single notch allowing rotation the closure element 20.
Après la rotation de l'élément d'obturation 20 pour venir fermer l'ouverture d'écoulement 17, la partie de la plaque supérieure de fermeture 14 qui était dissimulée par l'élément d'obturation 20 , et qui se trouve alors découverte, peut contenir des éléments de décoration, d'indication d'usage, de publicité ou de jeux. Enfin , l'invention n'est pas limitée au type de boîte dont l'élément d'ouverture est un levier pivotant autour d'un rivet central. Elle trouve aussi à s'appliquer dans le cas où le levier d'enfoncement est ôté de la boîte avec la portion détachable, le disque d'obtu ration 20 étant alors g uidé en rotation par son bord périphérique reçu dans une gorge complémentaire du bord serti de la plaque de fermeture 14. After the closure element 20 has been rotated to close the flow opening 17, the part of the upper closure plate 14 which was concealed by the closure element 20, and which is then uncovered, may contain elements of decoration, indication of use, advertising or games. Finally, the invention is not limited to the type of box whose opening element is a lever pivoting around a central rivet. It also finds application in the case where the driving lever is removed from the box with the detachable portion, the sealing disc 20 then being guided in rotation by its peripheral edge received in a groove complementary to the edge set with closure plate 14.
