Definitions
- Closing cap for metal can for drinks.
- the present invention relates to a closure capsule for a cylindrical metal box for drinks, said box comprising a top face provided with a tear-off or push-in opening cap surrounded by an upper crown with circular section projecting from the outside of the box, a bottom comprising a lower ring with circular section allowing stacking of 5 identical boxes, said lower ring surrounding a curved surface towards the inside of the box.
- the boxes can have upper and lower crowns of the same diameter or of different diameters.
- Metal beverage cans made of steel or aluminum, have undergone significant development because of the qualities they present for the preservation and marketing of the drinks they contain. ._>
- the main drawback of these boxes is related to the opening mode, namely the use of a detachable cover or, more recently, push-in.
- This seal which can not be replaced, does not allow to consume part of the content, then to transport the partially full box at the risk of spilling the remaining content.
- This is particularly disadvantageous during the practice of sports or leisure, such as skiing, walking, boating, etc. or during transport in a vehicle (automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, train, plane, etc.), so that the consumer is obliged to consume the entire contents of the box at once or to throw away the partially full box, with in the latter case pollution of the environment by this content.
- metal cans Another drawback of metal cans is that, while they are filled under very strict hygienic conditions, they are then subjected to atmospheric pollution during their storage and transport, so that the consumption of their content is far from satisfying the most basic hygienic conditions.
- this type of cover is offered in a form where it is connected to other covers by a tear-off tab.
- the presence of such a tear-off tab between at least two covers entails a risk of destruction of the cover during their separation by tearing and is not very easy to handle.
- a seller would rather tend to separate the box from the lid to sell it rather than selling it with the lid.
- FR-A-1 365 481 discloses lids for a container, such as a jar of cream, of the type comprising a skirt extending at the periphery of a flat surface and allowing said containers to be stacked, the flat surface of the cover having on its upper face a raised rib which ensures the centering of another container placed on said container provided with the cover.
- a cover does not allow a real nesting of the containers aimed in particular at preventing lateral movement of one container stacked on another.
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks and defects of known metal cans by providing a means for closing said cans when they are open but also allowing stacking by nesting of said cans in a limited space.
- the capsule according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a peripheral skirt capable of clipping onto the external periphery of the upper crown of a box, as well as a central surface bordered by a shoulder connected to the upper edge of said peripheral skirt, said shoulder being arranged to cooperate with the inner and / or outer edge of the lower ring of another box.
- said other box is laterally locked in a stack of stacked boxes.
- the capsule according to the invention therefore makes it possible to close the box during use, without interfering with the stacking by nesting of the boxes as well in a package as in a refrigerator or a cabinet. refrigerated display, while ensuring the protection of the areas of the box intended to come into contact with the mouth of the consumer.
- the protection of the box against pollution can be further improved by applying an adhesive plastic film or maintained under vacuum.
- a film can be transparent, opaque, provided with an advertising message or a decoration.
- the central surface extends at least in the plane defined by the upper edge of said shoulder or is situated above said plane. This improves the stacking of the boxes.
- the upper edge of the shoulder fits at least in the plane defined by the upper edge of the peripheral skirt, edge of the skirt opposite its free edge, or is located above said plane.
- the central surface can be a curved surface, therefore above the upper edge of the shoulder, but it can also be reversed when it is desired, for example, to limit the size.
- connection between the shoulder bordering the central surface and the upper edge of the peripheral skirt, opposite the free edge of said skirt comprises a flat annular flange on either side of which extend the peripheral skirt and the shoulder bordering the central surface.
- this embodiment advantageously makes it possible to provide an annular surface on which the lower crown of another box rests while the shoulder comes to lodge against the inner edge of said lower crown of said other box.
- the central surface bordered by the shoulder can be curved and is thus situated above the plane defined by the upper edge of the shoulder.
- This curved surface can be used to be housed under the lower curved surface of another box which promotes lateral locking of the stacked boxes and the last box of the stack can have a capsule whose central surface is inverted to limit the overall height of said capsule.
- the central surface is curved and extends above the plane defined by the upper edge of the shoulder, this curved surface then being able to be reversed so that the shoulder forms a crown which can be accommodated. against the outer peripheral edge of the lower crown of another box.
- the capsule according to the invention thus comprises a projection formed by the central surface bordered by the shoulder, said projection being arranged to be housed inside the lower crown of another box or to surround said lower crown.
- connection between the shoulder bordering the central surface and the upper edge of the peripheral skirt comprises a concentric shoulder opposite to the shoulder bordering the central surface, said shoulders defining a groove
- a capsule according to this embodiment is therefore provided with a groove in which the lower crown of another box can fit. And, even if this groove is shallow, the two opposite shoulders enclose the lower crown of said other box so that said other box is prevented against a lateral displacement relative to the box on which it is fitted.
- the central surface is flat and fits in the plane defined by the upper edge of the shoulder bordering said central surface so that a stacking by reliable nesting is obtained using a capsule having a limited overall dimensions.
- the central surface, the one shoulder bordering said central surface and one shoulder opposite and concentric defining therebetween the groove adjacent to the peripheral wall are formed at the time of stacking by interlocking
- the capsule comprises a peripheral skirt capable of clipping onto the external periphery of the upper crown and delimiting a surface, preferably planar, forming the bottom of the capsule covering the upper surface of the box, the bottom being made up of a
- the capsule then also includes an inner peripheral skirt concentric with the peripheral skirt of said capsule and which extends along the ⁇ inner periphery of the upper rim of the box. This gives better positioning of the capsule on said box.
- the cover is its unsightly appearance.
- the capsule can be opaque.
- the capsule according to the invention can serve as a decorative, informative, promotional and / or advertising medium.
- the capsule can be used to retain an advertising and / or promotional message, such as a print, a sample, an object, etc. in the upper crown.
- the capsule comprises at least one external peripheral projection and / or at least one radial tongue.
- the capsule can also be connected to the box, for example by articulation on a ring fixed to the box, preferably in one piece with the capsule.
- said peripheral skirt may have, projecting inwards, a continuous or interrupted return so that, when the capsule is placed on the box, said return comes to be housed under the edge of the upper crown thus ensuring the clipping of the peripheral skirt.
- the return consists of the frustoconical shape of the peripheral skirt, the large base of the truncated cone corresponding to the diameter of the capsule and the small base of the truncated cone corresponding to the free end of the peripheral skirt being clean to be housed under the edge of the upper crown of the box.

- the bottom of the box 1 has a central surface 7 curved towards the inside of the box and surrounded by a lower ring 8 whose diameter, in the example shown, is slightly less than that of the upper ring 6 so as to allow stacking by nesting boxes one on top of the other with lateral support.
- the capsule 2 consists of a piece of injected or thermoformed plastic material comprising a peripheral skirt 9 surrounding a body 10 or the bottom of the capsule.
- the skirt 9 is slightly frustoconical to form a return allowing continuous or interrupted clipping on the edge of the upper crown 6 of the box 1 and can be extended by a radial flange 11 facilitating the unclipping of the capsule.
- the body 10 or bottom of the capsule 2 comprises a central surface 100 bordered by a shoulder 101 connected to the peripheral skirt 9.
- This shoulder 101 is concentric with the peripheral skirt and slightly frustoconical.
- connection between said shoulder 101 and the upper edge o of the peripheral skirt 9 is constituted by a flat annular flange 102 on either side of which extend the peripheral skirt 9 and the shoulder 101, substantially perpendicular to said flange 102.
- the lower ring 8 'of said box comes to rest on said flange 102 while l 1 shoulder 101 rests against the inner edge of said ring 8 '.
- the central surface 100 which, in the example, is curved (shown in dotted lines) and is located above the plane P defined by the upper edge of the shoulder 101, is housed 5 under the curved central surface 7 'of the 'other box'.
- the curved central surface 100 can be inverted to occupy the recessed position shown in solid lines so as to limit the size of the capsule 2 in height, for example for the last box
- the surface 100 is flat, it constitutes with the shoulder 101 a central projection capable of being housed in the central surface 7 ′ of the box that is convex.
- the convex central surface 100 is reversed and the shoulder 101 then forms a crown 13 on the capsule 2 which can be housed inside the lower crown 8 'of a
- the crown 13 thus formed can also have a diameter substantially equal to that of the upper crown of the box so as to surround the lower crown 8 'of the box 1a.
- the crown 13 of the capsule will of course have a diameter greater than that of the lower crown.
- the crown 13 of the capsule 2 will have an adequate diameter to surround it or be housed therein.
- a body or an object can be held by said central convex surface 100.
- the positioning of this curved surface 100 makes it possible to accommodate an object of relatively large dimensions while improving the lateral support of the boxes 1, l 'when they are stacked.
- the capsule 2 comprises a peripheral skirt 9 and a capsule body or bottom 30.
- the capsule body 30 has a central surface 300 bordered by a shoulder 301 connected to the peripheral skirt 9 .
- connection of said shoulder 301 with the upper edge of the peripheral skirt 9 comprises a shoulder 302 concentric and opposite to the shoulder 301 and defining therewith a groove 303 adjacent to the peripheral skirt 9.
- This groove 303 is suitable for receiving the 8 'lower crown from another box.
- the shoulders 301 and 302 are defined by walls that are substantially frustoconical and concentric with the peripheral skirt 9.
- the central surface 300 fits in the plane P defined by the upper edge of the shoulder 301 and, preferably, said upper edge of the shoulder 301 fits at least in the plane P 'defined by the upper edge of the peripheral skirt 9 or above said plane P '.
- the peripheral skirt 9 has on its lower edge, a return consisting of a bead 18 projecting inwardly so that, when the positioning of the capsule on the box 1, said bead 18 is housed under the edge of the upper crown 6.
- An advertising and / or promotional medium such as a printout 15 or a sample or an object, can be enclosed inside the upper crown 6 of the box 1 and retained by the capsule 2.
- the capsule 2 comprises a peripheral retaining lip 19 of a printout 15 in the form of a disc for example, arranged to allow release of said printout 15 by pressing on the upper side of the capsule 2.
- this peripheral retaining lip 19 is formed at the level of the internal face of the shoulder 301 and makes it possible to retain the advertising disc 15.
