Description

La présente invention est relative à un couvercle de fermeture d'un verre à boire.The present invention relates to a cover for closing a glass to drink.

Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui de la fabrication de couvercles de fermeture de verre à boire.The technical field of the invention is that of the manufacture of drinking glass closure.

Il est connu de fermer l'ouverture d'un verre à boire par un couvercle ; le document FR-A-2548004 décrit un tel couvercle ; il est également connu d'équiper l'ouverture (ou buvant) d'un verre à boire, d'un couvercle percé d'un orifice permettant le passage d'une paille à boire au travers du couvercle.It is known to close the opening of a drinking glass with a lid; the document FR-A-2548004 describes such a cover; it is also known to equip the opening (or drinking) of a drinking glass, a lid pierced with an orifice allowing the passage of a drinking straw through the lid.

Les couvercles de verre à boire connus présentent certains inconvénients :

  • la résistance de la liaison amovible entre le verre et le couvercle est généralement si faible qu'une séparation accidentelle du couvercle et du verre est fréquente, par exemple lorsque le verre bascule et/ou est renversé ;
  • le maintien d'une paille engagée au travers d'un orifice percé dans le couvercle est généralement peu précis et/ou de faible résistance.
Known drinking glass lids have certain disadvantages:
  • the resistance of the removable connection between the glass and the cover is generally so low that an accidental separation of the cover and the glass is frequent, for example when the glass tilts and / or is overturned;
  • maintaining a straw engaged through an orifice drilled in the cover is generally imprecise and / or of low resistance.

La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un couvercle de verre à boire amélioré et/ou qui remédie, en partie au moins, aux inconvénients des couvercles connus.The object of the present invention is to provide a cover for a drinking glass. improved and / or which remedies, at least in part, the disadvantages of covers known.

Plus précisément, la présente invention comporte une embouchure, ce couvercle comportant un orifice décentré permettant le passage d'une paille et une collerette annulaire cerclant l'embouchure, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte en outre un compartiment pour préservatif, et un capot qui permet l'accès au compartiment et qui est articulé selon un axe horizontal.More specifically, the present invention includes a mouthpiece, which cover with an off-centered opening allowing the passage of a straw and a annular collar encircling the mouth, characterized in that it further comprises a compartment for condoms, and a cover which allows access to the compartment and which is articulated along a horizontal axis.

Un couvercle de fermeture d'un verre selon l'invention comporte un compartiment pour préservatif ainsi qu'un orifice permettant le passage d'une paille, et une collerette annulaire prévue pour cercler fermement l'embouchure du verre ; à cet effet, cette collerette présente de préférence un diamètre inférieur à celui du verre, ainsi qu'une élasticité suffisante pour être expansée afin d'entourer - sensiblement hermétiquement - l'embouchure du verre.A lid for closing a glass according to the invention comprises a condom compartment and a hole for the passage of a straw, and an annular flange provided to firmly encircle the mouth of the glass; In this Indeed, this flange preferably has a diameter smaller than that of the glass, as well as sufficient elasticity to be expanded to surround - substantially hermetically - the mouth of the glass.

Grâce à la présence d'une structure intégrée au couvercle qui sert à recevoir un préservatif (ou condom), la résistance mécanique du couvercle est renforcée, notamment la résistance du couvercle aux efforts de pression exercés par l'utilisateur sur la face supérieure du couvercle ; cette résistance est également accrue par la présence d'une collerette annulaire ; l'accroissement de la résistance du couvercle permet de compenser son affaiblissement résultant de la présence de l'orifice de passage de la paille.Thanks to the presence of a structure integrated in the cover which is used to receive a condom (or condom), the mechanical resistance of the cover is reinforced, in particular the resistance of the cover to the pressure forces exerted by the user on the upper face of the cover; this resistance is also increased by the presence of an annular collar; increasing the resistance of the cover compensates for its weakening resulting from the presence of the orifice of passage of straw.

La collerette annulaire du couvercle cerclant le verre rend difficile la désolidarisation du couvercle et du verre, et rend par conséquent difficile l'introduction dans le verre de substance(s) pouvant modifier l'état de conscience du consommateur de la boisson contenue dans le verre ; l'invention rend donc difficile l'administration malveillante (involontaire) d'une drogue, d'un stupéfiant ou d'un médicament.The annular flange of the cover encircling the glass makes it difficult to detachment of the cover and the glass, and therefore makes insertion difficult in the glass of substance (s) which can modify the consumer's state of consciousness drink contained in the glass; the invention therefore makes administration difficult malicious (involuntary) drug, narcotic or medication.

La présence d'un compartiment recevant un préservatif facilite l'accès au préservatif et permet de prévenir efficacement contre les maladies sexuellement transmissibles. En effet, il met à disposition ledit préservatif à tous les consommateurs dans les lieux publics, notamment de débit de boisson qui sont également des lieux de rencontre.The presence of a compartment receiving a condom facilitates access to the condom and can effectively prevent against sexually transmitted diseases transferable. Indeed, it makes said condom available to all consumers in public places, in particular at drinking places which are also places of meet.

Les couvercles selon l'invention peuvent notamment être fabriqués par moulage sous pression (et/ou par injection) d'une matière plastique ; ils sont généralement constitués d'une seule ou de deux pièces, et sont d'un coût suffisamment faible pour être jetés après utilisation.The covers according to the invention can in particular be manufactured by pressure (and / or injection) molding of a plastic material; they are usually made up of one or two pieces, and are costly low enough to be discarded after use.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaissent dans la description suivante qui se réfère aux dessins annexés et illustre, sans aucun caractère limitatif, des modes préférentiels de réalisation de l'invention.Other advantages and characteristics of the invention appear in the following description which refers to the accompanying drawings and illustrates, without any limiting character, preferred embodiments of the invention.

La figure 1 illustre en vue en perspective schématique un verre équipé d'un couvercle traversé par une paille à boire, selon l'état de la technique.Figure 1 illustrates in schematic perspective view a glass equipped with a lid crossed by a drinking straw, according to the state of the art.

La figure 2 illustre en vue en coupe schématique un verre équipé d'un couvercle selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention ; la figure 3 illustre en vue en perspective schématique le couvercle de la figure 2 ; sur la figure 2, le couvercle est représenté dans une configuration où le compartiment est fermé, tandis que ce compartiment est ouvert sur la représentation illustrée figure 3.Figure 2 illustrates in schematic sectional view a glass equipped with a cover according to a first embodiment of the invention; Figure 3 illustrates in schematic perspective view the cover of Figure 2; in Figure 2, the cover is shown in a configuration where the compartment is closed, while that this compartment is open in the representation illustrated in FIG. 3.

La figure 4 illustre, comme la figure 2, un verre équipé d'un couvercle selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 4 illustrates, like Figure 2, a glass equipped with a cover according to a second embodiment of the invention.

La figure 5 est une vue à l'échelle agrandie du couvercle de la figure 4, tandis que la figure 6 est une vue en perspective schématique du même couvercle.Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the cover of Figure 4, while that Figure 6 is a schematic perspective view of the same cover.

Sauf indication contraire, des éléments identiques ou similaires sont repérés par des nombres identiques.Unless otherwise indicated, identical or similar elements are identified by identical numbers.

Par référence à la figure 1 en particulier, le verre 1 comportant un fond 2 plat est équipé d'un couvercle 3 percé d'un orifice 5 au travers duquel s'étend une paille à boire 4.Referring to Figure 1 in particular, the glass 1 having a flat bottom 2 is fitted with a cover 3 pierced with an orifice 5 through which a straw extends drink 4.

Par référence à la figure 2, le couvercle 3 comporte un élément de paroi 6 formant une collerette annulaire encerclant l'embouchure 18 du verre 1 ; la collerette 6 est de préférence essentiellement constituée par une paroi cylindrique s'étendant selon l'axe vertical 14 du verre 1, lorsque le couvercle est solidarisé au verre ; le couvercle 3 comporte en outre un élément de paroi 7 s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 14, sur une partie de la superficie de l'embouchure 18 du verre 1, qui est relié à une partie de la collerette 6 d'une part, ainsi qu'à une paroi 19 verticale d'autre part, et d'une troisième part à une collerette 13 s'étendant au dessus de la paroi 7 ; dans ce mode de réalisation, la collerette 7 présente un diamètre inférieur au diamètre de la collerette 6.With reference to FIG. 2, the cover 3 comprises a wall element 6 forming an annular collar encircling the mouth 18 of the glass 1; the collar 6 preferably consists essentially of a cylindrical wall extending along the vertical axis 14 of the glass 1, when the cover is secured to the glass; the cover 3 further comprises a wall element 7 extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis 14, over part of the area of the mouth 18 of the glass 1, which is connected to a part of the collar 6 on the one hand, as well as to a wall 19 vertical on the other hand, and thirdly to a flange 13 extending above of the wall 7; in this embodiment, the collar 7 has a diameter less than the diameter of the collar 6.

Le couvercle comporte en outre un élément 8 de paroi qui est relié à l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi 19 par une liaison 10 permettant son pivotement selon la flèche 30 ; cette élément 8 est solidaire d'une portion 31 de paroi cylindrique et/ou annulaire s'étendant dans le prolongement de la collerette 6 ; l'élément 31 présente sur sa face interne une saillie ou nervure 11 prévue pour coopérer avec une dépression ou rainure 12 prévue sur la face externe de l'élément de paroi 13 solidaire de la paroi 7 ; de préférence, comme illustré notamment sur la figure 3, la liaison 10 reliant l'élément de paroi 8 du couvercle 3 à l'élément de paroi 19, forme une charnière permettant le pivotement selon l'axe 32 (figure 3) de l'élément de paroi 8 et de l'élément 31 de paroi associé, par rapport aux parois 7 et 19 du couvercle, après désengagement mutuel des moyens de verrouillage constitués par la saillie 11 et la dépression 12 susmentionnées.The cover further comprises a wall element 8 which is connected to the end upper wall 19 by a link 10 allowing its pivoting according to the arrow 30 ; this element 8 is integral with a portion 31 of cylindrical and / or annular wall extending in the extension of the collar 6; element 31 present on its face internal a projection or rib 11 provided to cooperate with a depression or groove 12 provided on the external face of the wall element 13 secured to the wall 7; of preferably, as illustrated in particular in FIG. 3, the link 10 connecting the element of wall 8 of the cover 3 to the wall element 19, forms a hinge allowing the pivoting along the axis 32 (FIG. 3) of the wall element 8 and of the wall element 31 associated, with respect to the walls 7 and 19 of the cover, after mutual disengagement locking means constituted by the projection 11 and the depression 12 above.

Comme illustré en particulier figures 2 et 3, les parois 7 et 19 du couvercle, ainsi que les parois 8 et 12 du capot intégré au couvercle et permettant l'accès au compartiment 9, délimitent une cavité (le compartiment) 9 spécialement prévue pour recevoir un préservatif (non représenté).As illustrated in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, the walls 7 and 19 of the cover, as well as the walls 8 and 12 of the cover integrated into the cover and allowing access to the compartment 9, delimit a cavity (compartment) 9 specially designed for receive a condom (not shown).

Le couvercle 3 comporte en outre un élément de paroi 16 s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe 14, dans le prolongement de la paroi 8, et percé de l'orifice 5 permettant le passage de la paille ; comme illustré en particulier figure 2, l'orifice 5 est entouré d'une nervure 15 s'étendant vers le haut à partir de la paroi 16, selon l'axe 14, et servant à guider et/ou maintenir une paille engagée dans l'orifice 5 ; cette nervure forme un manchon cylindrique pouvant faire office de bec verseur lorsqu'une paille n'est pas utilisée ; à cet effet notamment, il est avantageux que l'orifice 5 soit décentré, c'est à dire situé à distance de l'axe 14 vertical central du verre et du couvercle. A contrario, ce manchon qui s'étend au dessus de la paroi 16 du couvercle et dans lequel la paille peut coulisser avec un faible jeu permet, lorsqu'une paille est engagée dans l'orifice, de rendre très difficile l'introduction d'un stupéfiant sous forme liquide, à l'intérieur du verre, par cet orifice.The cover 3 further comprises a wall element 16 extending perpendicular to the axis 14, in the extension of the wall 8, and pierced with the orifice 5 allowing the passage of straw; as illustrated in particular in FIG. 2, the orifice 5 is surrounded by a rib 15 extending upwards from the wall 16, along the axis 14, and serving to guide and / or maintain a straw engaged in the orifice 5; this rib forms a cylindrical sleeve which can act as a spout when a straw is not used; for this purpose in particular, it is advantageous for the orifice 5 to be off-center, i.e. located away from the central vertical axis 14 of the lens and the lid. Conversely, this sleeve which extends above the wall 16 of the cover and in which the straw can slide with little play allows, when a straw is engaged in the orifice, to make it very difficult to introduce a narcotic in the form liquid, inside the glass, through this opening.

Par ailleurs, une saillie 17 est prévue sur la face interne 33 du couvercle, au dessus de la collerette 6 et dans le prolongement de la paroi 7 ; cette saillie sert de butée permettant au couvercle de résister à un effort d'appui, cette butée s'appuyant sur l'embouchure 18 du verre 1.Furthermore, a projection 17 is provided on the internal face 33 of the cover, at the above the collar 6 and in the extension of the wall 7; this projection serves as stop allowing the cover to resist a bearing force, this stop being supported on the mouth 18 of glass 1.

Grâce à la structure coudée et compartimentée du couvercle formé par les parois 6 à 8, 16, 19 et 31, la résistance mécanique du couvercle est améliorée ; cette résistance est également accrue grâce à la présence des nervures 11 et 17 et de la rainure 12.Thanks to the angled and compartmentalized structure of the cover formed by the walls 6 to 8, 16, 19 and 31, the mechanical strength of the cover is improved; this resistance is also increased thanks to the presence of the ribs 11 and 17 and the groove 12.

Dans le cas notamment où le couvercle est réalisé en une seule pièce, la charnière 10 peut être obtenue en réalisant la portion de la paroi 8 située à la lisière de la paroi 16 (et/ou 19) avec une épaisseur amoindrie lui conférant dans cette zone une résistance mécanique plus faible. In the case in particular where the cover is made in one piece, the hinge 10 can be obtained by making the portion of the wall 8 located at the edge of the wall 16 (and / or 19) with a reduced thickness giving it in this area a lower mechanical resistance.

Par référence aux figures 4 à 6, on retrouve dans ce mode de réalisation les moyens 11, 12 de verrouillage entre les parois 31 et 13 ; dans ce mode de réalisation, la paroi 31 s'étend dans le prolongement de la collerette 16, et la nervure 11 forme une saillie sur la face interne 33 de cette paroi ; les parois 13, 7 et 19 forment un capot articulé en 100, vers l'intérieur du couvercle, par rapport aux parois 8 et 16 ; l'articulation 100 comporte une nervure rectiligne formée sur la face interne 34 de la paroi supérieure 8, 16, dans laquelle est emboítée l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi 19 qui est munie à cet effet d'une rainure coopérant avec la nervure 100 ; les parois 7 et 19 peuvent ainsi pivoter selon un axe d'articulation horizontal (tel que 32 figure 3), selon la flèche 30 dirigée vers le bas, comme illustré en particulier figures 4 et 5, après désengagement des moyens de verrouillage 11 et 12 du capot en position fermée, qui peuvent être identiques ou similaires à ceux illustrés figure 2.With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, we find in this embodiment the means 11, 12 for locking between the walls 31 and 13; in this embodiment, the wall 31 extends in the extension of the flange 16, and the rib 11 forms a projection on the internal face 33 of this wall; the walls 13, 7 and 19 form a cover articulated at 100, towards the inside of the cover, relative to the walls 8 and 16; the joint 100 comprises a rectilinear rib formed on the internal face 34 of the upper wall 8, 16, in which is fitted the upper end of the wall 19 which is provided for this purpose with a groove cooperating with the rib 100; the walls 7 and 19 can thus pivot along a horizontal articulation axis (such as 32 in FIG. 3), according to the arrow 30 directed downwards, as illustrated in particular in FIGS. 4 and 5 , after disengagement of the locking means 11 and 12 of the cover in the closed position, which may be identical or similar to those illustrated in FIG. 2.

Ainsi, les parois 7 et 19 du deuxième mode de réalisation, et/ou les parois 8 et 31 du premier mode de réalisation peuvent être solidarisés par une liaison amovible, notamment par déformation élastique ou clipsage de ces deux parties du couvercle délimitant le compartiment 9.Thus, the walls 7 and 19 of the second embodiment, and / or the walls 8 and 31 of the first embodiment can be joined by a removable link, in particular by elastic deformation or clipping of these two parts of the cover delimiting compartment 9.
