Publication number: 20180244437Abstract: A closure device includes a first part forming a fastening base for fastening to a container neck and second part forming a lid. The second part includes a fastening ring and a hinge connecting the fastening ring to the lid and permitting the lid to pivot relative to the fastening ring between closed and open positions. The fastening ring snaps into a fastening groove in the first part. The second part has a first-opening indicator and a frangible connection between the first-opening indicator and a peripheral rim flange of the lid. A free space between the fastening ring and the first-opening indicator exists when the lid is in the closed position prior to the first opening. Two lock zones on the first part engage the first-opening indicator such that the first-opening indicator separates from the lid and drops into the free space upon the first opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Applicant: BERICAPInventors: Philippe Pellerin, Anne Cécile Ropele

Patent number: 9943998Abstract: The disclosure includes a cap having a first portion made of a plastic material and forming a bottom for covering a container neck and a protective side wall for surrounding the container neck, and a second portion made of a flexible material that is compatible with the plastic material of the first portion and separate from the plastic material of the first portion, the second portion being annular and consisting of a flexible seal, which projects from the bottom toward the interior of the side wall and which is welded to the first portion. Thus, the manufacture of the stopper by molding includes injecting a flexible material to produce the flexible annular seal and then the movable portions of the mold are placed such that the flexible material is in a groove that is set back from the planar surface of the mold.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: BericapInventor: Anne-Cécile Ropelé

Patent number: 9428308Abstract: A stoppering device to be secured to a container neck includes a tubular spout defining a passage opening, and a plug. The plug has an outer tubular shell sliding on the tubular spout, and a bottom provided with a sealing skirt and multiple distribution holes. The bottom of the plug engages with the connecting wall of the tubular spout in the plugging position, while preserving an annular retention space between the bottom of the plug and the tubular spout. The bottom includes radial ribs which are in an alternating arrangement between the distribution holes, and constitute retention facets retaining the liquid held in the retention space by adhesion. The small volume of liquid which, during the plugging phase, would be prevented from flowing back into the container closed by the stoppering device, can remain in the annular retention space without any particular risk of abrupt ejection, the retention being promoted by the presence of multiple walls in the chamber, in particular the retention facets.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: BERICAPInventor: Robert Bet

Publication number: 20150175318Abstract: A closure device includes a first part forming a fastening base for fastening to the container neck and having at least one peripheral fastening groove and a second part forming a lid, a fastening ring defining a reference geometrical axis, and a hinge connecting the fastening ring to the lid for guiding the lid relative to the fastening ring between a closed position and an open position, the fastening ring being engaged by snap-in action into the fastening groove of the first part. The second part additionally also forms a first-opening indicator and a frangible connection between the first-opening indicator and a peripheral rim flange of the lid, a free space being maintained in the axial direction between the fastening ring and the first-opening indicator in the closed position prior to the first opening, the first-opening indicator being retained by at least one lock zone of the first part so as to be separated from the lid and drop into the free space upon the first opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: BERICAPInventors: Philippe Pellerin, Anne-Cécile Ropele

Publication number: 20100264144Abstract: The invention concerns a closure with pouring means comprising a first part including pouring means (4) and a base (3) having a skirt for being fixed to the body of the container and first rigid fixing means for a second part including a cap (6) having a top wall, a skirt (20) and sealing means (22) for the pouring means (4), means (7) for pivoting the cap (6) and second rigid fixing means complementary of the first rigid fixing means. The pivoting means (7), located transversely plumb over the skirt of the cap (6), comprise a globally hollow deformable part delimited by an upper arc-shaped segment of reduced thickness belonging to the skirt (20), by a lower arc-shaped segment of reduced thickness belonging to the second fixing means, and by two axially oriented free edges, such that when the stopper is opened, the pivoting angle of the cap may be of the order of 180°.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2006Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: BERICAPInventors: Philippe Nusbaum, Frédéric Granier

Patent number: 7611025Abstract: The invention concerns a closure comprising a base portion and a cap forming portion including a top articulated to a ring through a hinge. The strap enables the cap forming portion to be moulded in closing position of the top, tamperproof means being provided between the ring and the top. When the cover is closed, the sensitive zones of the cap are either located in a sealed closed space, or capable of being in contact with a liquid (in solution or spray) and capable of being treated so as to eliminate said liquid, so as to sanitize the closure. Furthermore, the tamperproof means are deformed and ruptured when the top is first opened such that the resulting free ends are sufficiently spaced apart from each other, thus easily revealing to a user whether it has been tampered with.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: BericapInventors: Philippe Nusbaum, Yannick Celerier, Jeremy Le Cam

Patent number: 7077294Abstract: A device for stoppering a container and drawing off a fluid includes a fixed piece, fixed to the container, with a lateral fluid output opening and a passage that allows air to enter. Another, movable piece includes a tube with a lateral fluid output opening. This tube can move in rotation inside the fixed piece and also in axial translation between a maximum “pushed-in” position and an extracted position so that lateral openings can be brought into coincidence through rotating the movable piece. The movable piece has an internal skirt enabling the channeling of fluid toward the output opening to prevent leakage through the passage for the entry of air. The fixed piece includes a guide for displacing the movable piece with respect to the fixed piece from the maximum “pushed-in” position to the extracted position that displays a coincidence of the openings.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2002Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: BERICAPInventors: Philippe Nusbaum, Frédéric Granier, Antonio Jubany Claret, Oriol Aran Garcia
