11capsule à ouverture facile pour emballage
sous vide et emballage muni d'une telle capsule"
La présente invention concerne une capsule à ouverture facile pour un emballage destiné à être fermé sous vide et un emballage muni d'une telle capsule.11 easy-open cap for packaging
vacuum and packaging provided with such a capsule "
The present invention relates to an easy-opening capsule for a packaging intended to be closed under vacuum and a packaging provided with such a capsule.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement un emballage avec un corps rigide et une capsule métallique. It relates more particularly to packaging with a rigid body and a metal capsule.
Pour fermer sous vide ce type d'emballage, la méthode classique consiste à poser simplement la capsule sur le bord supérieur du corps de l'emballage et à utiliser le vide créé dans l'emballage pour que la capsule vienne se coller sur le corps de l'emballage, l'étanchéité étant assurée de manière classique grâce à un joint intercalé entre le corps de l'emballage et la capsule. To close this type of packaging under vacuum, the conventional method consists in simply placing the capsule on the upper edge of the packaging body and using the vacuum created in the packaging so that the capsule sticks to the body of the packaging. packaging, sealing being ensured in a conventional manner by means of a seal interposed between the body of the packaging and the capsule.
Pour ouvrir l'emballage, il suffit de casser le vide et pour cela faire entrer de l'air à l'intérieur de l'emballage, la capsule se décollant alors automatiquement du corps de l'emballage. To open the packaging, it is enough to break the vacuum and for this to bring air inside the packaging, the capsule then peels off automatically from the body of the packaging.
Dans le cas d'une capsule métallique, la méthode classique consiste à percer la capsule avec un outil approprié. Ce type d'ouverture n'est pas réellement pratique car d'une part, il faut avoir l'outil en question à sa disposition au bon moment et, d'autre part, on risque souvent de se blesser. In the case of a metal capsule, the conventional method consists in piercing the capsule with an appropriate tool. This type of opening is not really practical because on the one hand, you have to have the tool in question at your disposal at the right time and, on the other hand, you often risk getting injured.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients, et donc rendre plus commode l'ouverture des emballages sous vide, mais sans pour autant trop augmenter le coût de fabrication de la capsule. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks, and therefore make it more convenient to open the vacuum packaging, but without increasing the cost of manufacturing the capsule too much.
La présente invention est également basée sur l'observation suivante. The present invention is also based on the following observation.
On connaît bien les boîtes métalliques, par exemple les boîtes de boissons gazeuses, équipées d'un anneau de préhension rivé sur une partie préincisée aménagée dans l'un des fonds de la boîte. Cet anneau a pour but de permettre à l'utilisateur de détacher la partie préincisée du reste de la boîte pour dégager une ouverture et permettre l'extraction par cette ouverture du produit conditionné. Ce type de dispositif est très largement répandu et la technologie associée est maintenant bien connue. I1 peut être réalisé avec un faible coût de fabrication. Metallic cans are well known, for example cans of carbonated drinks, equipped with a gripping ring riveted on a pre-incised part arranged in one of the bottoms of the can. The purpose of this ring is to allow the user to detach the pre-incised part from the rest of the box to clear an opening and allow the extraction of the packaged product by this opening. This type of device is very widespread and the associated technology is now well known. I1 can be achieved with a low manufacturing cost.
Ce type de moyen de préhension n'a cependant jamais été utilisé dans les emballages fermés sous vide. However, this type of gripping device has never been used in closed vacuum packaging.
La présente invention propose une capsule pour emballage sous vide du type décrit plus haut auquel on a associé un moyen de préhension dans le but de faciliter l'ouverture de l'emballage. The present invention provides a capsule for vacuum packaging of the type described above which has been associated with a gripping means in order to facilitate the opening of the packaging.
Elle propose une capsule métallique à ouverture facile pour un emballage avec un corps rigide destiné à être fermé sous vide, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte à proximité d'une préincision un moyen de préhension apte à rompre ladite préincision lorsque l'on agit sur ce dernier. It offers a metal capsule with easy opening for packaging with a rigid body intended to be closed under vacuum, characterized in that it comprises, near a pre-incision, a gripping means capable of breaking said pre-incision when acting on this last.
Selon une forme de réalisation, la préincision a une forme en U, le moyen de préhension se trouvant au centre. According to one embodiment, the pre-incision has a U-shape, the gripping means being in the center.
Selon une forme de réalisation encore, le moyen de préhension est constitué par un anneau de préhension rivé à proximité de la préincision, à la manière des anneaux de préhension des boîtes métalliques classiques. Ici, la fonction première de l'anneau de préhension est de permettre de rompre au moins partiellement la préincision de manière à casser le vide, et non pas de dégager une ouverture d'accès. I1 n'est pas forcément nécessaire d'arracher la totalité d'une partie préincisée puisqu'en tout état de cause, ici l'accès au produit se fera en soulevant simplement la capsule. According to yet another embodiment, the gripping means is constituted by a gripping ring riveted near the pre-incision, in the manner of the gripping rings of conventional metal cans. Here, the primary function of the gripping ring is to allow the pre-incision to be broken at least partially so as to break the vacuum, and not to release an access opening. I1 is not necessarily necessary to tear off the whole of a pre-incised part since in any case, here access to the product will be done by simply lifting the capsule.
La présente invention propose également un emballage avec un corps rigide muni d'une telle capsule. The present invention also provides a packaging with a rigid body provided with such a capsule.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation fait en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels:
- la figure 1 illustre de façon schématique une vue en élévation d'un emballage fermé avec une capsule selon l'invention;
- la figure 2 illustre de façon schématique une vue en élévation du même emballage ouvert avec la capsule représentée en aplomb du corps de l'emballage, avec un arrachement local.The present invention will be better understood in the light of the following description of an embodiment given with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- Figure 1 schematically illustrates an elevational view of a closed package with a capsule according to the invention;
- Figure 2 schematically illustrates an elevational view of the same open package with the capsule shown directly above the body of the package, with a local cutaway.
Selon la forme de réalisation choisie et représentée sur ces figures l'emballage comporte un pot rigide 1 formant le corps de l'emballage, par exemple en plastique ou en verre et une capsule métallique 2. According to the embodiment chosen and shown in these figures, the packaging comprises a rigid pot 1 forming the body of the packaging, for example made of plastic or glass and a metal capsule 2.
La capsule 2, a une forme classique de coupelle, avec un rebord périphérique 3 formant une gorge intérieure pour un joint d'étanchéité 4 (voir figure 2). Elle s'adapte sur le pot 2 de l'emballage, le joint 4 venant au contact du bord supérieur 5 du pot. The capsule 2 has a conventional cup shape, with a peripheral rim 3 forming an internal groove for a seal 4 (see FIG. 2). It fits on the pot 2 of the packaging, the seal 4 coming into contact with the upper edge 5 of the pot.
Selon l'invention, la capsule est munie d'un dispositif d'ouverture facile 6 qui consiste en un moyen de préhension 7 disposé à proximité d'une préincision 8 et qui est apte à rompre ladite préincision. According to the invention, the capsule is provided with an easy opening device 6 which consists of a gripping means 7 disposed near a pre-incision 8 and which is capable of breaking said pre-incision.
Dans la forme de réalisation choisie, le dispositif d'ouverture 6 est constitué par un anneau 7 du type connu dans les emballages métalliques, rivé dans une partie de la capsule délimitée par une préincision 8, ici en forme de U à l'aide d'une languette 9 qui recouvre pratiquement cette partie prédécoupée. In the chosen embodiment, the opening device 6 consists of a ring 7 of the type known in metal packaging, riveted in a part of the capsule delimited by a pre-incision 8, here in the shape of a U using 'a tongue 9 which practically covers this precut part.
Pour ouvrir l'emballage, on soulève l'anneau 7, ce dernier prenant appui sur deux bossages 10 disposés de part et d'autre du point d'attache de l'anneau sur la capsule, jusqu'à ce que la préincision soit rompue et qu'une fuite d'air soit réalisée. La capsule se décolle alors automatiquement. To open the packaging, the ring 7 is raised, the latter resting on two bosses 10 arranged on either side of the point of attachment of the ring on the capsule, until the pre-incision is broken and an air leak is made. The capsule then peels off automatically.
