Abstract

A closure device (10) for bottles, for example containing cosmetic products, comprising a main body (11) with a first portion (11a) coupled to a threaded neck of the bottle or inserted with pressure into the bottle's neck and a second portion (11b) that has at least one hole or opening (12) for discharging the product; between said first (11a) and second portion (11b) of the main body (11) there is a peripheral portion (14), which extends externally to the first portion (11a), so as to entirely lean against an external wall of the bottle, and on which there are formed one or more holes, slits or shaped through-openings (15).

Description

CLOSURE DEVICE FOR BOTTLES
The present invention generally relates generally to a cap or closure device for bottles, for example bottles of cosmetic products, such as shampoo and shower-gel.
Such cosmetic products, such as shampoo, bubble bath, shower-gel, etc., are usually available within shaped bottles and/or tubular elements, which are closed by a respective cap or closure device, said closure device being screwed onto the threaded neck of the bottle or being inserted with pressure on the outside of the bottle's neck and having an inner seal.
However, in addition to the fact that there are many problems for positioning said bottles on the shelves of a bath tub or in a shower (because of the restricted space with respect to the products placed on the available surfaces of a bathroom), the use of said bottles has more significant drawbacks, such as, for example, the accumulation of moisture and water drops on the entire surface of the bottle, including the cap, which determines poor hygienic conditions and the proliferation of mildew and bacteria in the environment, as well as serious difficulties for taking the bottle with safety and for opening the bottle in order to use the product.
Moreover, it is more and more felt the need to lighten the structure of the whole bottle and of the single closure device, so as to reduce more and more the costs of production.
The main object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of
2 cosmetic products, which allows to lighten the structure of the entire bottle, while offering a pleasant appearance to the product.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which allows a considerable easiness for taking the bottle, as well as a relevant easiness for taking the product contained inside, with respect to the prior art mode.
A further object of the invention is to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is extremely ergonomic and which is made at low costs, with respect to the prior art.
These and other objects are achieved by a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the present disclosure; other technical features are provided in what follows.
Advantageously, the closure device according to the invention, which can be screwed onto the threaded neck of the bottle or which can be inserted with pressure on the neck of the bottle, allows to simplify the use of the bottles of cosmetic products, as well as to lighten the structure of the closure device and of the whole bottle, with advantages both in terms of easiness of molding and in terms of reduction of total costs, with respect to the prior art.
Furthermore, the present invention allows to get a lower environmental impact, as well as a noticeable reduction in the total costs of the package.
The above objects and advantages and others which will be mentioned in the following discussion will be more Date Recue/Date Received 2021-10-15
3 PCT/IT2015/000141 clear form the following description, which refers to a plurality of preferred embodiments of the closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the present invention, and from the related enclosed drawings, in which:
- figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the present invention;
- figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the invention;
- figure 3 shows a third embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the invention.
With reference to the mentioned figures, the closure device or cap 10 for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is the object of the present invention, comprises a main body 11, the lower portion of which ha is coupled to the threaded neck of the bottle or is inserted with pressure in the neck of said bottle and whose upper portion 11b has at least one hole or opening 12 for discharging the cosmetic product.
A shaped tag 13, which is usually coupled to the main body 11 by means of a hinge-shaped plastic element, also constitutes a cover of the upper portion llb of the body 11 and is used for the hermetic closure of the body 11 and therefore of the bottle.
Said shaped tag 13 may have the same shape and/or the same surface of the upper portion 11b of the body 11 and can be made as a single piece or in one piece with said body 11.
4 According to the present invention, the peripheral portion 14, which is part of the body 11 and which extends externally to the bottom portion 11a so as to entirely lean against the outer wall of the bottle's neck, is lightened because one or more holes, slits or shaped through-openings 15 are provided.
In particular, said holes, slits or through-openings 15 can be made on the entire peripheral portion 14 or on parts of the same and can have any geometric shape.
Specifically, holes 15 can also be provided, whose arrangement creates figures or designs on the peripheral portion 14 (said figures or designs can also be detachable from the portion 14), in order to enhance the pleasantness of the aesthetic appearance of the bottle and/or for fun purposes; said holes or openings 15 can also be made so as to create the shape of a single letter and thereby to form complete words on the whole peripheral portion 14 of the closure device 10.
In other embodiments of the invention, said holes, slits or through-openings 15 may also be provided on the upper portion lib of the body 11 and/or on the shaped tag 13.
Additionally, one or more of said holes, slits or openings 15 can be used as coupling means for placing the bottle on a wall.
Said slits or through-openings 15 have the advantage of downloading water or however allow water and moisture that accumulates on the outer walls and on the cap of the bottle, due to the normal exposure of the bottle to the water jets, to flow, thus avoiding the stagnation of water and moisture and avoiding mildew and/or bacteria.
Moreover, a more secure grip of the bottle is ensured for the user, thus avoiding falls of the bottle and any falls of the product contained inside.
5 Finally, since all portions of the closure device 10, such as the main body 11, the peripheral portion 14 and the shaped tag 13, can be made with plastic material, such as for example ABS and/or PP, said portions are particularly water-resistant and water-washable, as well as they are able to dry quickly and they are available in various colors.
From the above description the features of the closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is the object of the present invention, are clear as well as the related advantages are clear.
In particular, the main advantages are the following:
- easiness of taking and using the bottle;
- ergonomics and easiness of using the bottle;
- possibility of using the closure device on bottles of different types, shapes and sizes;
- absence of any risk to the user resulting from any falls of the product contained within the bottle;
- lightened structure;
- absence of moisture and mildew on the bottle;
- easiness of molding the bottle;
- pleasant appearance and ability to get drawings or detachable figures for fun purposes;
- possibility of using the openings as hooking means for hanging the bottle;
- low production costs with respect to the prior art;
- low environmental impact;
6 - low total costs of the package, with respect to the prior art.
It is finally clear that other variations can be made to the closure device of the invention, without departing from the principles of novelty inherent in the inventive idea as claimed in the appended claims;
it is also clear that in the practical implementation of the invention, the materials, shapes and dimensions of the technical details may be any according to requirements and these may be replaced with other technically equivalent, without departing from the relevant scope as defined by the appended claims.
