Abstract

The container has a sealing device (6b) connected to a device (10) for visual indication of the first opening of the container which consists of an embossed caption (11) embracing the sealing device (6b) from two sides when it is fitted in its place, and an appurtenant part (1a) of container (1). Part 11a of the caption (11) is set directly in the material of the container (1a) and is indelible. Supplementing part (11b) of the caption (11) is set on appurtenant zone (6c) of the sealing device (6b) and is removed during its opening when the container opens. In this way irreversible division of two supplementing parts (11a, 11b) of the caption is reached without any possibility of a subsequent fitting intended for a secondary use of the container (1).

Description

The present invention relates to a container having a system for guaranteeing the authentic origin of the product contained therein, and to a method for sealing such a container. -, ·

This product, which can enter any type, is stored in a container that is usually, but not necessarily, rigid and rigid.

As mentioned above, the system according to the invention can be used for any product, but it is understood that the products most falsified are luxury products such as expensive alcoholic beverages, perfumes or cosmetics in general, but in general in the same way, there may be applications in the pharmaceutical industry or even in the food industry.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent years it has been counterfeiting have also suffered counterfeiters have judged that so nothing has been established that the ways of development in this sense cannot seem beyond

.

Close in appearance to one original container from that container itself. Thus, counterfeit products of dubious quality, packaged in original containers, squeezed by a network of packing and releasing products in respect of such containers, have faded into certain parallel markets.

In recent years, developing anti-fraud systems have provided for such fraudulent actions and attempts have been made to protect the original products by sealing the selection of the container on which there are traces of opening once it has already been leaked.

Thus, it is proposed to insert used labels or adhesive strips between the container cap and the container itself so that any action to remove the cap causes at least partial destruction of the guarantee label.

There were proposals fitted between the cap consisting of a breakable zone, starting to open the cap.

also for safety rings, and part of the throat of the container and which can lead to broken noise is:

It is also advantageous to place a sleeve of heat-sealed material on the container closure system and the container adjacent to that system.

Holograms have also been used which are highly sophisticated in terms of being placed in the areas of container selection.

Unfortunately, all of these systems are playable and counterfeiters do not hesitate to replace one label with another.?; One safety ring with another floor ring or one hologram / with another hodogram. In fact, they should only soften;

sealing components damaged by first use and • · · ·

replace them with an agent that, if not identical, is at least equivalent, with the substrate, in this case the container, remaining fully authentic as far as the matter is concerned.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, the first phase of the present invention consists in resolving the issue that the container should not be left with any traces of sealing after the first use, but, on the contrary, that there be any traces that cannot be removed by scraping, sticking or machine tying damage the appearance of the container itself, rendering it inappropriate for reuse ^.

To this end, the present invention, in one aspect, relates to a system for guaranteeing the authentic origin of a product in a container fitted with a closure system and comprising a sealing means affixed between the outside of the closure system and the container so that it can enter destroyed by purposefully torn off when the container is opened for the first time, characterized in that the sealing means is connected to a means of visual indication of that first opening, which means consists of an engraved inscription, comprising on both sides said sealing means, once in place, and one immediately adjacent portion of the container, as part of the inscription is made directly into the material of the container in an indelible manner, the complementary portion of the inscription being provided on an adjacent area of the sealing means and is torn off when the sealing means is torn off by opening the container, thereby producing

permanent separation of the two complementary parts of the inscription. This allows you to subsequently adjust the two parts of the label for fraudulent reuse. The container is removed.

The system according to the invention may be modified in a second aspect of the invention such that the inscription, instead of covering on both sides, the sealing means and the adjacent portion of the container, comprising on both sides the cap of the container or its integral component.

In a third aspect, the invention also provides a method of sealing and securing a container having a sealing means, comprising placing a removable sealing means between said sealing means and the container, and producing an engraved inscription extending from the container , In such a way that when the sealing means is removed when the container is opened for the first time, the parts of the inscription on the sealing means and the container are separated.

In another aspect, the invention provides a container having a means for indicating the opening of the container, said means comprising an engraved inscription having a sealing means on both sides sealed against a container cap lid and intended to be removed and thus destroyed when opened and thus destroyed when opened. adjoining part of the container or cap, so that when the sealing means is removed when opened, the two parts of the inscription are separated.

The invention will be further understood and further characterized by its specific features by way of the following description, without prejudice to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, which illustrate, in a non-limiting manner, one • · · ·

preferred embodiment of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front view of the Bottle Neck provided with a device for guaranteeing the authentic content of the invention.

Figure 2 is a top view according to Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section along the line ITI III of Figure 2.

Examples of implementation

As a non-limiting example, the container shown in the drawings and provided with a device for guaranteeing the authentic origin of the product it contains is Bottle 1. This Bottle 1 consists in the traditional way of a body 2 which extends into its upper part into the neck 3, adapted in this case fluid 4. The container or bottle 1 is provided with a hermetically sealed closure system 5, which in this case consists of a plug, but can of course be replaced by a cap of a different type of container with more - wide selection. The bottle 1 shown in the drawings has a sealing means 6 attached between

Exterior of the closure system or cork stopper 5 and bottle neck 3 destroyed by purposeful action

1. This means is adapted to be pulled open by the user when

The container is opened for the first time. In the present case, the first sealing means consists of a first cap 6a that encloses said cork stopper 5 and extends concentrically over the neck 3 of the bottle 1. This type of cap 6a is typically drilled

6.

made of lead and tin alloy, white tin or aluminum and / or plastic composite material, and bears a mark relating to the brand of the product. In the joint plane 8 of the cork stopper 5 with the throat 3, the cap 6a has a tear-off rod 7 that is adapted to enter destroyed when the cork stopper 5 is rotated for the first time with a view to opening it. 7a, 7b forming a series of holes arranged in a sample line.

In addition, the cap 6a itself is covered by a sleeve 6b formed by a heat-shrinkable case, which also has a tear-off strip 9, this time vertical, consisting of at least two perforations 9a and 9b formed by a series of holes. arranged in one line. The bottle is thus opened by first tearing off the edge located between the two Vertical perforations 9a, 9b on the arm 6b, thereby separating it from the neck 3, and then tearing the edge between the two horizontal 7 perforations 7 On the cap 6a, this removes the cork stopper.

The hinge 6b is preferably made of a transparent material of length 112 ** which is greater than the length "hl" of the cap 6a for reasons which will be further explained.

The material of which the arm 6b is made may, for example, contain polyvinyl chloride.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the sealing means 6b is connected to a means 10 for visual indication of the first tearing, which consists of an engraved / elongated / inscription 11 having two sides, said sealing means 6b, which is placed on two sides. 6 immediately adjacent to part 1a of container 1, such that • · • · ·

7.

the portion 11a of the inscription 11, made 6 itself, of the material of the container 1a is thereby made indelible, whereby the additional portion 11b of the inscription 11 provided on the adjacent area 6c of the sealing means 6b is removed when the sealing means is removed. In this way, the two complementary parts 11a, 11b of the inscription 11 are not permanently separated, with the possibility of subsequently adjusting each other to the two parts for the purpose of fraudulent repeated use of the container I.

As mentioned above, the sealing means 6b referred to above, the 6th case consists of a heat-shrinkable arm mounted on the cap ba.

Obviously, it is possible for your villa to also provide the inscription on the cap 6a and an adjacent part of the bottle I, but this solution is not preferable, because 6 this case it is easy for you to wipe the falsification by replacing the cap 6a with more a long opaque cap that conceals the portion 11a of the inscription 11 engraved on the bottle 1 in zone 1a.

This is also the reason why the arm 6b is ~ Wetter than the cap 6a. In fact, since the methods currently employed cannot produce lids 6a of scallops and as long as the lengths of plastic arms 6b, the portion 11a of the inscription 11 will nevertheless remain on the container 1 by any possibility of its fraudulent covering with a longer cap.

It is also preferable to make the inscription partly on the arm of the heat-shrinkable material once the latter is in place, since the tolerances in the production of the rough arm and its arbitrary folding, 6 are complementary to the tolerances of the engraving process, which is engraved

8.

the use, and those of the container, therefore make it real impossible to fit one another to portions 11a and 11b of the inscription 11 after the destruction of the arm 6b carrying the portion 11b.

According to another important preferred feature of the invention, the inscription 11 is engraved, for example, using a laser beam moving from point to point adapted to attack the glass of the Bottle 1 6 of its area 1a and the plastic arm 6b 6 of its area 6c.

To do this, the arm 6b preferably has a thickness so that it can be attacked by the laser beam for engraving, but will not allow the beam to pass completely through it, so that the signs forming part 11b of the inscription 11 not cut and separated from the lower end of said arm in 6b.

According to another preferred feature of the invention, if the glass of the Bottle 1 is a relative light on the color, which does not facilitate the reading of the laser engraving by contrast, a local color 12 is provided in the area of the inscription 11, so that it is colored on one side with a color on one side. which prevents its fraudulent camouflage by fostering new colors and, on the other hand, leading it peeled or scraped so that an informed consumer can verify the authenticity of the product 4. This coloration 12 in the area the engraved inscription 11 is achieved by applying paint or posredstbom silk-screen printing or by tempografiya.

The inscription 11 may consist of a series of figures or letters or symbols or combinations thereof in a particular code.

The marking described above is provided at the base of the neck of the bottle, but obviously, it can also be provided on the upper part of the arm, which has a stopper or an integral part on both sides.

He should also enter with caution that he can enter the coloring provided by the adhesive component.
