Description

Opening telltale device for bottles having a stopper

The present invention relates to have the false proof device of the bottle of bottle stopper.

Known in system bottle field have many so-called anti-theft opening apparatus, comprise and the device that directly or indirectly links of sealing arrangement of bottle that bottle is once opening, this device just again can't recover former state, thereby customer a glance just can be found out, he wants to buy bottle have the people to open or attempt at least opened.

When uncork first, in order to guarantee the genuine goods at a fair price of bottled thing, also same problem can take place, especially be under the situation of wine, perfume and other precious liquid at bottled thing, the purpose of false proof device is to prevent that the cheat from reusing the bottle of depositing high quality of products, irritate the product of inferior quality, thereby adulterate, cheat consumers.

According to application number is the patent of FR-A-2675473; a kind of like this false proof device that is used to have the bottle of sealing bottle cork comprises by an easy folding part and is attached to device on the book jacket that fuses with bottleneck; make this device stop the protective position extract seal bottle cap to move on to pull out from their when cover the position, this device ruptures in easy folding part.According to this patent, this device comprises that a C shape is protected support, and at least one support of protecting support is attached on the book jacket that fuses with bottleneck by an easy folding part.According to this patent, installing to before the filling bottle on the bottleneck with protecting the book jacket that links to each other of support, protect support this moment and be in the position of drawing the cork, on this position, can pour into bottled thing in the bottle, and the insertion sealing bottle cork.Having only at this moment could be protecting the protective position that shifts the bottle stopper top, and this need use movable fixture that the support section that protects support is remained near the district easy to break, protects the remainder distortion of support simultaneously and moves on to the bottle stopper protective position from the bottle stopper position of drawing the cork.

In this device, because book jacket and protect support must before the filling bottle, particularly just must be in place on bottle in when bottle system, and after bottle can and sealing, also need to add the operation of holding device, therefore the encapsulation process of product becomes complicated in the manufacturing of bottle and the bottle, thereby has increased packaging cost.And striding the support of protecting that stands on the bottle top is the easy-to-damage element that stretches out outside bottle, therefore very likely causes the unexpected damage of false proof device, is unfavorable for very much loading and unloading, packing and the storage of bottle.

False proof device of the present invention is the reliability height not only, and makes easily, implements easily and cheap.

The objective of the invention is provides false proof device for the bottle with sealing bottle cork, it comprises by easy folding part and is attached to device on the book jacket that fuses with bottleneck, thereby makes this device rupture in easy folding part when extracting the position stoping the holding position of extracting sealing arrangement to move on to bottle stopper from their.According to the present invention, this device comprises that one is generally circular element, this element and a connecting part and makes one, and this connecting part is attached on the book jacket by an easy folding part, therefore, when the holding position, this element is axially and radially and all topped nearby on the bottle stopper top from bottle stopper.

Within the scope of the present invention, this topped can be annular element, thereby can see the bottle stopper top by this element; This topped also can be solid circular piece, therefore can't see the bottle stopper top by this element.

For the ease of catch this topped with hand extract the position so that it is moved to bottle stopper, this topped be preferably in topped and book jacket between the relative side of connecting portion extend radially a fritter outside the bottle stopper top.

Connecting part between topped and the book jacket is preferably an elongate strip, and this elongate strip is preferably parallel with the axial cardinal principle of bottle stopper.

Easy folding part between linking strip and the book jacket preferably is made of the thin bar that this linking strip and book jacket link up a circle on the book jacket.

For linking with bottleneck, can there be a groove book jacket inside, is used for laying the snap ring that matches with the bottleneck flange.

This snap ring is preferably open loop.

This snap ring can have the V-arrangement profile, and a leg of V-arrangement cooperates with the book jacket inner groovy, and another leg matches with the groove that forms above-mentioned bottleneck flange.

In the time of on book jacket is enclosed within the bottleneck shoulder, book jacket preferably has a lower edge that abuts against on this shoulder in portion's groove below within it, and the incipient crack crackle is arranged on this lower edge, and being used for expressing has the people once to attempt from this uncork.

When the bottle stopper of bottleneck or sealing bottleneck does not only allow by when being set to book jacket on the bottleneck above the bottle stopper and need from the anti-coke installation of top assembling, book jacket preferably is made up of two and half book jackets, make one with one of two and half book jackets for topped, this two and half book jacket is assembled together mutually in the groove of bottleneck, forms false proof device.

Although within the scope of the present invention, this device can be made up of mechanical snap-on device, and in a preferred embodiment, they are made up of the solid pin in this hole of blended rubber glue in hole and this hole of insertion.

In this case, this Kongzui has passage to communicate with the inside face of book jacket well, thereby when in that pin is inserted in the hole the two halves book jacket being installed, these passages make glue can be expressed into the interface of book jacket and bottleneck from the hole, and book jacket is cemented on the bottleneck.

False proof device of the present invention can be made from a variety of materials, and the such light alloy of topped, connecting part and the most handy for example zinc-base die cast alloy of one of book jacket or half book jacket is integrally molded.

Two exemplary and non-restrictive example of false proof device of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.In these accompanying drawings:

Fig. 2 is the elevation view of the same device of looking from the direction of Fig. 1 arrow II;

Fig. 3 is the birds-eye view of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 device;

Fig. 4 be the IV of Fig. 3 to the part amplification profile, express being connected of book jacket and bottleneck;

Fig. 5 originally installs the elevation view of second embodiment, and this moment, this device was in the protective position on the bottleneck;

Fig. 6 is the axial section of Fig. 5 device;

Fig. 7 be the VII of Fig. 5 to section-drawing, express the situation before the two and half book jackets assembling of this device;

Fig. 8 is the view of one of half book jacket that arrow VIII direction is looked from Fig. 7;

Fig. 9 is the view of another half book jacket that arrow IX direction is looked from Fig. 7.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, be used for that false proof device 1 by bottle stopper 3 leak free bottlenecks 2 comprises book jacket 4 and topped 5 of being fused by linking strip 6 and book jacket 4.

According to Fig. 4, inner groovy 7 is arranged on the book jacket 4, the snap ring 8 that is preferably open loop promptly is installed in this groove.In the embodiment shown, this snap ring 8 has the V-arrangement profile, and the vertical outer leg 9 of its cardinal principle is engaged in the groove 7 of book jacket 4, and leg 10 is engaged in the outer groove 11 of bottleneck 2 in the bevelled.

Have the thin bar 12 of a circle that linking strip 6 and book jacket 4 are linked up on this book jacket, the effect of thin bar 12 is hereinafter handed over.

Extend between book jacket 4 and topped 5 the axis almost parallel of linking strip 6 and bottle.

Be generally oblateness for topped 5, the diameter of its diameter and bottle stopper 3 is suitable, makes topped 5 top that covers bottle stopper 3.But, with connecting strap 6 relative sides, topped 5 has to stretch out at this and be generally crescent fritter 13 on circular topped 5, this fritter 13 covers bottle stopper 3(Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 from radially resembling the baffle plate).

After bottle is finished can and used bottle stopper 3 good seal bottlenecks 2, false proof device 1 by to bottleneck, is made topped 5 top that covers bottle stopper 3.Rely on snap ring 8, book jacket 4 fuses with bottleneck 2, and book jacket 4 extends downwards and abuts against incipient crack crackle on the lower edge 15 on the shoulder 16 of bottleneck 2 and also can be used to express and have the people once to attempt to open bottle at the book jacket place.

Because topped 5 cover bottle stopper and prevented people's uncork, so its existence has definitely guaranteed to have the genuine goods at a fair price of bottled thing in the bottle of intact device 1.

Want to open bottle, must take off topped 5 from the top of bottle stopper 3.For this reason, need only stretch into below topped 5 the extension 13 with finger or nail, and promote extension 13, make to link connecting band 6 and rupture with the position of book jacket 4.In fact, because this circle connecting portion is strip 12 easy to break, the fracture of this strip 12 can't be repaired, and that is to say, can't use such as welding or bondingly restoring this connecting part and don't penetrated.

Whole false proof device 1, i.e. light alloy or other material of book jacket 4, topped 5 and linking strip 6 these classes of usefulness zinc-base die cast alloy, for example plastic moulding is integral.

According to Fig. 7 and Fig. 9, second half book jacket 4b has a pin 23 on end face in the same plane on two 22, its side conforms to the side in half book jacket 4a and hole 18, each pin 23 is distributed with back root on its circumference vertically rectangular 24, leaves the gap slightly between the remainder of they and pin 23 sides.

There is a tongue 25 half book jacket 4b outside, as the tongue 20 of half book jacket 4a, stretches out on one of its end face 22, and a step 26, as step 21 usefulness of half book jacket 4b, be recessed on the other end 22.

For this false proof device 1 being assembled to by on the bottle stopper 3 leak free bottlenecks 2, a certain amount of glue is poured in half book jacket 4a and two holes 18 by Fig. 5.Then half book jacket 4a is placed on one side of bottleneck 2, makes topped 5 of fusing cover bottle stopper 3, and, two and half book jackets are placed as shown in Figure 7 Face to face the another side that second half book jacket 4b is placed on bottleneck 2 with half book jacket 4a.When two and

half book jacket

4a and 4b near the time, the pin 23 of half book jacket 4b inserts in the hole 18 of half book jacket 4a, pour in advance a glue part in the hole 18 on pin 23, leave mutually the gap vertical rectangular 24 between the gap in be pressed against end face 17, a part is pressed against interface place between half book jacket 4a and bottleneck 2 outside faces by groove 19, thereby half book jacket 4a and bottleneck adhesion are integral.The tongue bars 20 and 25 that stretches into step 21 and 26 covers the fitting surface of two and

half book jacket

4a and 4b, thereby the outlet of sealing glue is overflowed unlikely end face 17 and 22 places at two

halves book jacket

4a and 4b of glue.

In this embodiment, false proof device 1 also is to use such as light alloy or plastic moulding to form, but makes two, and a slice comprises half book jacket 4a, topped 5 and linking strip 6, and another sheet is half book jacket 4b.

Obviously, above shown in and illustrated embodiment be exemplary and nonrestrictive, can make all changes within the scope of the present invention.

Therefore, topped 5 can not be general circular solid member, but hollow object that is to say, can be general ringwise element, can see the top of bottle stopper 3 when making topped 5 to be in protective position.

In addition, Fig. 1 to the long ring 8 of Fig. 4 embodiment with V-arrangement side can be on the one hand according to the groove shapes of book jacket 4, the shape according to bottleneck 2 replaces the not snap ring of ipsilateral on the other hand.

Topped 5 and linking strip 6 can take to be different from the shape of above-mentioned shape according to the outer shape of the bottle stopper 3 of sealing bottleneck 2.

Thin bar 12 between linking strip 6 and the book jacket 4 also can have different embodiments.

Fig. 5 is to the two and half book jacket 4a of Fig. 9 embodiment and hole 18 and the security element that pin 23 also can replace other, for example the snap-on device of 4b.
