Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The invention relates to a closure, com-prising a male piece constituted by a plate bordered by a skirt and com-prising a teat at its centre, on the same side as the skirt with respect to the plate. It further comprises a female piece or insert made of a material more malleable than that of the male piece, disposed on this teat and wedged by appropriate means between the teat, the plate and the skirt. The invention is particularly applicable in the bottling industry.

Description
lZ56(~64 The present invention relates to a closure which may be used in particular to close bottles of per-fume.
Enveloping or hooding stoppers are stoppers constituted by a central part for blocking the opening of the neck of a bottle, and by a skirt which envelops, or hoods, this neck, completely or partially. The bottle is therefore stoppered solely by pressing the stopper on the neck, the skirt performing only an aesthetic role.
A known type of press-on stoppering is the one used in particular for bottles of chemical products:
this is a ground glass stoppering system of which the major drawback is that of requiring a marrying of the stopper and of the bottle. One stopper corresponds to one bottle, and vice versa. Such a stoppering system is consequently very expensive and can only be considered for precious substances such as chemical or pharmaceu-tical products.
Another stoppering system of the same type is also known, in which the s-topper is constituted by a plate on which is centrally mounted a teat, coated by overmoulding with a layer of plastics material. Manu-facture of such a stopper necessitates providing catching means on the teat so that the layer remains fast there-with during traction and/or rotation. In the case of enveloping or hooding stoppers, such catch means can only be provided on the teat if said teat is a piece fitted by force. Moreover, such a stopper requires that the process of overmoulding be mastered.
It is therefore an object of the present inven-tion to provide a stopper of which the process of manu-facture overcomes the above drawbacks.
A further object of the invention is an en-veloping or hooding stopper of low manufacturing cost.

- la -According to the present invention, there is provided a closure provided with a plug and a cap part, comprising a male part which has a plate; a skirt edging this plate; a projection arranged on the same side as the skirt with respect to the plate and in the centre of the plate, the plate, the skirt and the projection defining a groove; and a female part forming an insert made of a material which is more malleable than that of the male part, said female part being arranged on the projection, said female part being in contact with the skirt, the dimensions and shape of the female part and of the groove being choseh such that the female part is held wedged between the projection and the skirt.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the teat is disposed on a base around which a groove is forrned, a shoulder being made at the connection of the teat on this base.
The insert is maintained in position either by gluing, clipping, crimping or by a judicious choice of dimensions.
The male piece is advantageously made of metal and the insert of plastics material.
The invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The single Figure shows, in part section, an enveloping or hooding stopper according to the present invention, disposed on a bottle.
Referring now to the drawing, this Figure shows an enveloping or hooding stopper according to the present invention, which comprises a male part constituted by a plate 1, bordered by a skirt 2 and comprising a teat 3 at its centre, on the same side as this skirt with respect to the plate.
Teat 3 according to this embodiment is disposed on a base 4 which may be circular or polygonal, a shoulder 5 being made at the connection of the teat 3 on this base 4. The teat may either be of uniform diameter over the whole of its height, or may be slightly conical from the base 4 towards its end.
Around the base 4 there is formed a groove 6: the latter is therefore defined by the base 4, the plate I and the inner wall of the skirt 2.
According to the invention, this enveloping or hooding stopper also comprises a female part or insert 7 disposed on the teat 3 and wedged by appropriate means, for instance forced thereinto, bet~leen the teat 3, the plate l and the skirt 2. This insert 7 is advantageously made of a material n:ore malleable than that of the male part.
This insert 7 may be maintained on the male piece, in fact on the teat 3, in several ways. For example, the insert 7 is fitted on the teat 3 so as not only to cover it, but also to cover the base 4 and fill the groove 6: only the choice of the respective dimensions allows lZS~
the two pieces to remain fast with each other both in traction and in rotation. This aim can also be attained by a ~udicious choise of shapes.
To avoid rotation of the insert 7, its internal surface may comprise vertical ribs.
The female part or insert 7 may also be maintained on the teat 3 of the male part by gluing, clipping, crimping or by any combination of these means including the one described hereinabove.
The male part is generally made of metal and the female part of a plastics material. However, the male part may also be made of a plastics material, which implies that the plastics material of the female part is more malleable so as to allow it to fit on the teat 3. In other words, the i ale part is made of a substantially risid rnaterial compared with the one of he female part.
When such 2 stopper is placed on the neck 8 of a bottle, seal 5 is obtained by cornpression of the insert 7 between this neck 9 and the teat 3, by vertical pressure. The skirt 2 then covers this neck more or less as a function of the desired æsthetic effec .
The man skilled in the art will readily appreciate that such an enveloping or hooding stopper may be used on bottles of the same series: it is not adapted to one particular bottle.
