Description

Field of technology

The utility model refers to a bottle with a cap, which is used in the food industry, in particular for the storage of beverages and beverage additives.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of bottles with caps are known from the prior art. In all of them, the contents of the bottle store liquid with additional ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, colorants, fillers, anti-caking agents and others. Due to the fact that the liquid and the additional ingredients are mixed before filling the bottle and closing it with a cap, a result is reached which is detrimental to the physiological activity of the additional ingredients due to the heat and oxidation in the liquid state.

Technical essence of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to provide a construction of a bottle with a cap, which will protect the additional ingredients from harmful results for their physiological activity.

This task is solved by creating a bottle with a cap, which consists of a container of the threaded bottle in its upper part for winding a body of the cap with a thread, in which there is a closed chamber for additional components, the lower opening of which is hermetically closed by a membrane , and above the upper opening of the chamber there is a drinking nozzle, which is made with the possibility of vertical movement, whereby in the upper position of the nozzle liquid is passed through it upwards until it is taken out of the cap, and in the lower position of the nozzle. prevents the passage of liquid through it. In the chamber above the membrane there is a piston with a button, which piston in its upper part is located in a guide sleeve on the drinking nozzle. The plunger button protrudes above the drinking nozzle at a distance greater than the distance between the lower end of the plunger and the diaphragm. The piston has a sealing element, the lateral shape and dimensions of which correspond to the shape and dimensions of the cross section of the upper opening of the chamber. This sealing element can be a monolithic part of the piston itself, or it can be a separate element located around the piston. The piston is movable in a vertical direction between an upper position in which the piston sealing element is located in the upper opening of the chamber and a lower position in which the piston sealing element is located in the chamber outside its upper opening and the lower end of the piston is issued below the lower opening of the camera.

Preferably, the plunger is tapered at its lower end so that when pressed, it pierces the membrane and the ingredients from the chamber for additional ingredients are poured into the bottle. It is also preferred that the pointed end of the piston is located at a small angle to the diaphragm to tear it more easily.

Preferably, the membrane is made of metal foil, which creates UV protection of the additional ingredients in the cap.

The bottle with a cap designed in this way allows the use of various beverages that have important ingredients, the moment of dissolution of which is essential for their benefits.

Example implementation and application of the utility model

In a preferred embodiment of the cap bottle, according to the utility model, it is used for beverages to which additional healthy ingredients are added in powder or liquid form.

The production process of the bottle and the cap is done separately.

The production of the bottle is done by using a die with a certain design of the container 1 of the bottle and its thread, adapted to place the cap, according to the utility model. It is possible for the container 1 of the bottle to be made with recesses and a certain relief, at the choice of the manufacturer, so as to facilitate the gripping of the bottle. The material from which it is made is a polymer, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET). A blow molding machine equipped to inflate bottles with a suitable neck diameter, for example 0 38 mm, is used. The bottle is then moved to a filling line, where it is filled with liquid and additives, for example water, natural juice, sugar, stevia (sweetener), malic acid, preservatives, flavors and others, by means of a dosing filling machine. These liquids and additives are pre-sterilized in an autoclave for sterilization, from where they pass through a first buffer vessel connected to a second buffer vessel connected to the dosing filling machine by pumps.

The production of the cap is done in a certain way by using a matrix with a certain design of the cap and its thread. A polymeric material, preferably polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), is used to make the body 2 of the cap with the chamber 3 for additional ingredients, the nozzle 4 for drinking, the sealing element 5 and the piston 6 with the button 7. Dosing of additional ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, colorants, fillers, anti-caking agents for the cap, and the like. The cap is then filled with the mixture of additional ingredients of a filling machine and then a membrane 8 of protective metal foil, preferably aluminum, is glued to the lower part of the cap to hold the liquid in the chamber 3 of the cap. The cap is then moved to a bottling line, where it is placed on the bottle by means of a closure machine including a belt, rotating wheels, an orientator and a closing head.

The bottle is labeled through a steam tunnel with a specially made heat-shrinkable label with two types of perforations (vertical and horizontal) in the part of the cap, where the label, not the cap, acts as an excise label. The product is blown with compressed air immediately before printing on the date of manufacture / expiration to achieve legibility. A stack is formed, prepared for passing through a thermal tunnel, after which the stack is palletized and moved to the finished product warehouse.

In use, the final beverage is mixed by the user, by pressing the button 7 on the cap, through which the lower pointed end of the piston 6 tears the membrane 8 and the additional components of the chamber 3 are poured into the bottle. Thus, the ingredients contained in the bottle and cap form two inseparable parts of one beverage. To sip the beverage, the user pulls the nozzle 4 up to its open position, and by pressing back down, a closed position of the nozzle 4 is achieved.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications to the capped bottle are possible, which also fall within the scope of the utility model defined in the appended claims. All parts of the device can be replaced with technically equivalent elements.

The reference numbers of the technical features are included in the claims only for the purpose of increasing the comprehensibility of the claims and therefore, these reference numbers have no limiting effect on the interpretation of the elements indicated by these reference numbers.
