Description

So A PROCESS FOR Manufacturing COVE FOR CONTAINERS OPENED
BY PEELING OFF THE COVER AND CASEY OBTAINED YO-YO USING
THIS PROCESS.

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing covers or lids for closing containers opened by peeling off the cover such covers being of the type comprising an orifice and two closure elements disposed on each side of the orifice which they close and in which they adhere to 10 one another.
Coverts of this type have been designed for closing containers containing food products such as drinks or yogurts.
Theist be found at present on the market do not however give entire satisfaction. Positioning their closure elements 15 requires in fact a great deal of time and results in relative-lye high manufacturing costs. Moreover, their internal closure element, namely the one intended to be on the same side as the product to be packed, is appreciably smaller than the inlet aperture of the container and does not always I perfectly ensure its sealing function. In addition, it is often difficult to position on the orifice.
The present invention proposes overcoming these drawbacks, and, for this, it provides a process for menu-lecturing covers intended to close containers opened by 25 peeling off the cover, this process being characterized in that it consists:
- in forming a series of holes trended to constitute the orifices of the cowers in a strip ;
- in a~plyina to one of the faces of the perforated 30 strip a first continuous coaling intended to form one of the two closure elements, this pharisee coaling being separable at least partially from the strip by peeling off;
- in aDplyina, to the other face of the perforated strip a second continuous coaling so that it comes into 35 contact with the parts of the first coating, which are defined by the holes and adheres vigorously to these parts as well as to the perforated strip, this second coating being intended 52~

to form the other closure element , and - in cutting out the multi-layer sheet thus formed so that the holes are all situated in a cover The manufacture of the covers may thus be entirely mechanized, which speeds up the production rates and con-sequently lowers the cost price of these covers. Further-more, since the first and second coatings entirely cover the two faces of the covers, the containers may be perfectly sealed and the quality of the packed product does not risk 10 deteriorating in time.
When at least one of the first and second coatings is used to form one of -the faces of the multi-layer sheet, it may be advantageous to apply it by extrusion-lamination, counter bonding or paraffining.
On the other hand, when a multi-layer sheet is desired comprising more than three layers, arc least one of the first and second coatings may be applied by sandwich extrusion between the perforated strip and an additional strip.
Advantageously, opening tabs may be formed between the perforated strip and-the first coating, in zones situated along the cut-out lines of the multi-layer sheet.
With these opening tabs, the consumer has a better grip on the first coating and may then separate it more 25 readily from the perforated strip. During this operation, the part of the second coating which is secured to the first coating will of course be torn off therewith, which then allows the consumer to have access to the contents of the container.
In a particular embodiment of the process of the invention, the opening tabs ma be formed by creating non adherence zones on the strip, before applying the first coating, for example by applying a polysiloxane or polyamide based varnish or a nitrocellulosic ink, on a hello or flex 35 printer.
In another particular embodiment of this process, the opening tats may also be formed by making additional ~,Z2S;~6~

perforations in the strip, before applying the first and second coatings.
In the case where the second coating is covered by an additional strip, it may be desirable for this latter to be separable by peeling off. In fact, since the inter-face between the additional strip and the second coating is generally sterile, it will be sufficient to provide a sterile enclosure in which the additional strip may be reeled off, the containers filled and the covers sealed, (so that the second coating is turned towards the containers) in order to pack the product in a perfectly aseptic manner.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be clear from the following description given by way of example with reference to the accompanying 15 drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a schematically perspective view showing a reel formed by winding up a multi-layer sheet obtained during implementation of the process of the invention, as well as a section of another multi-layer sheet slightly 20 different from the preceding one;

Figure 9 is a perspective view of the container shown in Figure I, but during opening thereof; and Figure 10 is a perspective view of a container closed by another cover obtained by using the process of the invention.
The multi-layer sheet 1 which is shown on the left in Figure 1 is in the form of a reel so that it may 10 have a length of several hundred linear meters.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, sheet 1 is formed from three layers, namely an intermediate strip
2 pierced with holes 3 judiciously spaced from each other and two coatings 4, 5 applied to the upper and lower faces 15 of the intermediate strip, these two coatings closing the holes 3 through which they adhere strongly to each other.
In some cases, sheet 1 could comprise more than three layers, coatings 4 and 5 being if required covered in their turn by a coating of one or more layers.
The intermediate strip 2 may have a thickness of the order of 15 to 200 microns (1.5 to 20.10 5 m) and ye made from metal, more especially from aluminum or an aluminum alloy, from a cellulosic material such as paper, or a synthetic material such as polyvinyl chloride, a polyp 25 ester, a polypropylene, a polyethylene, a polyamide, a polybutylene etc...
The coatings 4, 5 may have a thickness of the order of lo to 100 microns (1 to 10.10 5 m) and be made from a synthetic material such as a polyester. a polypropylene, 30 a polyethylene, a polybutylene, a polyamide, an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer,an monomer resin, etc...
Coating 4, namely the one which is fixed to the upper face of the intermediate strip 2, is made from a material which has little affinity for this latter so as 35 be able to be relatively easily separated therefrom by peeling off On the other hand, coating 5 is made from a material which has great affinity with the intermediate strip and coating 4, so that it cannot be separated from these latter.

" Saab It will be noted here that when coatings 4 and 5 are themselves coated with an additional coating, this latter is preferably formed by a strip of aluminum coated if required on its external face with a layer of polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polybutylene, polyamide, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, monomer resin, heat-bonding varnish, etc...
The multi-layer sheet 1 is intended to be cut along the closed lines 6 corresponding to the contour of 10 the covers 7 to be formed. The location of these lines, as well as that of holes 3 of the intermediate strip 2, are of course chosen so that each cover comprises a hole
3 and so that the cutting out waste is as small as possible.
It will be noted that sheet 1 comprises, between 15 the intermediate strip 2 and coating 4, non adherence zones 8 adjacent one of the sides of the cover 7. These zones are in fact provided so that the consumer, desiring to open a container closed by cover 7, may more easily grip the coaling 4 so as to remove it without difficulty by 20 peeling off, Referring now to the sheet section lo shown on the right of Figure 1, it will be noted that the non adhere hence Jones 8 have been replaced by tongues 9 situated, not inside, but outside the covers. These tongues, whose 25 purpose is also to facilitate peeling off of coating 4, are formed by piercing a second series of holes in the intermediate strip 2, coatings 4 and 5 again closing these other holes while adhering to one another there through.
Several techniques will now be described for 30 applying one or more coatings to a perforated strip such as the intermediate strip 2 of sheets 1 and lay Referring first of all to Figure 2 which illustrates the extrusion-lamination technique, it can be seen that the intermediate strip 2 travels between two rotary cylinders 10, 11 while 35 a die 12 of conventional design delivers a viscous film 13 into the slit formed between the upper face of strip 2 and the downstream cylinder 11. Film 13, which is formed by Liz a molten material intended to form coating 41 is driven slightly into holes 3 (and if required into the holes corresponding to tongues 9) of strip 2 as it passes between -the -two cylinders, then is cooled between two appropriate cylinders not shown.
It will be noted here that the non adherence zones 8 may be formed on the intermediate strip by impression of a varnish or an ink in a hello or flex printer, before application of film I
When coating is deposited over the whole length 10 of the intermediate strip. this latter is then turned over and again passed between cylinders 10 and 11, as shown in Figure 3. The die 12, which now contains one of the materials used for forming coating 5, delivers a viscous film 14 into the slit formed between the face of strip 2 which is 15 still bare and cylinder 11.
Film 14 is in its turn driven slightly into holes 3 (and holes 9 when they exist) as it passes between the cylinders 10, 11, which allows it to come into contact with coating 4 and to strongly adhere there-to, after which it 20 is solidified between the goofing cylinders mentioned above.
Coatings 4 and 5 could of course be applied with the same machine equipped with two dies. Furthermore, so as to increase the adherence between one of the coatings and strip 2, for example at the periphery of holes 3 (and 25 9 if they exist), the corresponding face of the strip may be coated with an adherence promoter applied by a hello element integrated in the extrude. or said face may be treated by discharge, more especially by Corona discharge.
Referring now to Figure 5, which illustrates 30 the sandwich extrusion technique, it can be seen that strip 2 and an additional strip 15 pass between two rotary cylinders 16, 17, whereas a die 18 delivers a viscous film 19 into the slit formed between the two strips 2 and 15. Film 19, which is formed by a molten material, for example one of 35 those used for forming coating 5, is driven slightly into holes 3 of strip 2 then cooled in a way known per so.
The material forming film 19 could have a great ~,~2S~613 affinity for strip 2 and little affinity for the additional strip 15. In this case, the additional strip could in fact be peeled of from strip 2,thuslaying bare a sterile surface.
Referring furthermore to Figure 6, which illustrates the counter bonding technique, it can be seen -that the perforated strip 2 and strip 20. made preferably from alum-Nemo, pass between two rotary cylinders 21, 22. Before reaching cylinder 21, sheet 20 passes between a cylinder 23 dipped in a bath of bonding agent 24 and a presser cylinder 25.
Strip 20 is driven slightly into holes 3 when it passes between cylinders 21, 22 and adheres perfectly to strip 2 at the outlet of an appropriate drier (not shown) used for evaporating the water contained in the bonding agent.
In order to fix a second metal strip to the other face of strip 2, the installation shown in Figure 6 could further be used. An installation could however be used for coating the second metal strip with a reactive bonding agent having at least two components, this installation then comprising driers for evaporating the solvents and heating cylinders for reactivating the bonding agent. An installation could also be used using bonding agents without solvents.
Referring now, to Figure 7. which illustrates the paraffining -technique, it can be seen that the perforated strip 2 travels through a wax or "hot melt" bath 26 in the molten state, before being sandwiched between two strips 3 27, 28, which may be metal or not, traveling between two rotary cylinders 29, 30. On leaving these latter, strips 27 and 28 adhere to one another in holes 3 (and holes 9 when they exist) whereas a cooling cylinder (not shown) is provided for hardening and solidifying the wax or the hot melt.
Figure 7 shows an installation for simultaneously fixing the two strips 27, 28 to strip 2. It is obvious _ ~,~Z~8 however that only one of -the two strips 27 and 28 could be fixed by paraffining.
For forming multi-layer sheets 1 as shown in Figure 1, thy procedure is as follows:
- holes 3, which are intended to form the orifices of cover 7, and holes 9 when they are required, are formed in strip 2, by means of a press or a rotary cut-out tool ;

- the non adherence zones are formed by printing 10 a varnish or an ink on one of the faces of the perforated strip 2, by using a hello or flex printer. Should coating
4 be transparent, the printer could also be used for forming decorative or advertising prints such as those shown at 31 in Figures 8 and 9; and - coatings 4, 5 are applied to the two faces of the perforated strip:
. by extrusion-lamination, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, or . by sandwich extrusion, as shown in Figure 5; or . by counter bonding, as shown in Figure 6, or . by paraffining as shown in Figure 7.
The technique used for applying coating 4 could of course be different from the one used for applying coating
5.
The mu Tyler sheets 1 are delivered in reels to industrialists involved in packing products such as drinks or yogurts.
To Jack -these products, these industrialists manufacture containers of the type shown at 32 in Figures 30 8 to 10, generally by heat-forming a plastic material strip, then fill the containers 32 with the product, fix the multi-layer sheet 1 or lo (with coating a turned upwardly) by heat-sealing, crimping or ultra-sonic welding along the inlet aperture of the containers and cut-out sheet 1 or 35 lo along the lines 6 shown in Figure 1. which correspond to the outer contour of the inlet aperture of the containers (and to that of tongues 9 in the case of sheet lo).

-- ."

S;Z~8 To open a container such as the one shown in Figure 8, -the operator raises slightly the part of coating 4 which overhangs the non adherence zone 8, grips this part and pulls it upwardly until the part of coating 5 located in hole 3 is torn away as shown in Figure 9.
In all the foregoing, it has been assumed that coating could~eentirely peeled off. It goes without saying however that an adherence promoter could be applied to strip 2 by hello or flex printing, before application 10 of coating 4, so as to prevent this latter from being separated from strip 2 when hole 3 is completely opened.
Sheets 1 or lo could further be heated for a few minutes at a temperature higher than 100C so as to make them sterile and allow packing of products under 15 perfectly aseptic conditions.
Finally, referring now to Figure 10, it can be seen that the part of sheet 1, which corresponds to one of holes 9 in strip 2, forms a gripping tongue which the con_ surer may easily grip so as to separate coating 4 from 20 strip 2 and tear away the part of coating 5 situated in hole 3.
It goes without saying that the present invention also relates to the covers obtained by using the above described process, as well as to the containers closed by 25 such covers.
