Description

The The invention relates to a closure system for a beverage bottle, especially a champagne or wine bottle. It continues to affect one Beverage bottle, which is provided with such a closure system, a method to close a beverage bottle and a use of such a closure system of a beverage bottle.

In Centuries of tradition traditionally indicate a wine bottle or champagne bottle as closure element, a cork or cork stopper, which in the pouring of the Bottleneck of the wine bottle is introduced. This way, wine and to close champagne bottles, has proven particularly successful because cork as a natural substance the for a long-term storage of the wine in the bottle given conditions fulfilled to a very high degree. In particular cork is reasonable in terms of processability and tightness Production cost a low-priced Sealing material. Due to the long tradition of using Cork for closing of wine bottles is such a cork stopper in the rest of consumers with great Experience associated with winemaking. As a result, the in in such a way closed wine bottle offered wine in the consumer circles usually also a relatively high esteem.

opposite the high esteem Consumers can use a cork stopper, however also adverse effects on those in the thus closed Have wine bottle stored wine. In particular, a cork stopper can result from touch with the wine stored in the wine bottle, flavorings in these and thus impair or distort the taste of the wine. Such impairments of wine occur in 10% up to 16% of such stored wine. Furthermore, the cork stopper for a sufficient sealing effect comparatively exactly to the inside dimensions of the Be adapted to bottleneck or the pouring opening and also be thermally treated, which comparatively high production costs.

alternative For the use of cork, a wine bottle can also be used with a screw cap be equipped. This usually comes a metal closure cap is used, which has a screw thread is screwed onto the bottleneck and thus the pouring opening of the wine bottle closes. A closed with such a screw cap wine bottle is already in its outward appearance clearly from a wine bottle closed with a cork stopper distinguishable. Closing systems with screw cap are however predominantly for comparatively cheaper and thus inferior wines used. Because of that enjoy a wine offered in a wine bottle with screw cap also a lesser appreciation to the consumers as one in a closed with a cork stopper Wine bottle offered wine.

Lately, wine bottles are offered, which are closed with a mechanically stable crown cork. This crown cork may be provided in its interior or in the region of its mirror on its side facing the bottle interior with a seal made of plastic, for example as low-density polyethylene called LD-PE. As a result, in particular, a readily processable closure with a high sealing effect is provided. This allows avoiding taste impairment of the stored in such a sealed bottle drink even with a long shelf life. The disadvantage of using a crown cork, as in the case of the screw cap, is the low esteem of a beverage offered in this way by the customers. For this reason it is from the DE 100 33 222 A1 known to hen with a crown cap sealed wine bottles with a mold cap to verses and sealed with a capsule, such as tin, so that the bottle in question in the salable condition is indistinguishable from a closed with a conventional cork stopper bottle and enjoys a high esteem , Even with this progressive closure concept in the manner of an outer packaging of the crown cork can not be completely ruled out that the crown cork used leaves at least partially an appreciation-reducing impression on the consumer.

Of the The invention is therefore based on the object, a modified closure system on the basis of a crown cork with which the consumer in all Steps when opening The bottle of the crown corks hidden and a high-quality impression the bottle and its contents. Furthermore, a should Beverage bottle, in particular a champagne or wine bottle, with such a Locking system is provided, two for attachment such a closure system to a beverage bottle particularly suitable Methods are given as well as a particularly suitable use of such a closure system.

Regarding the Closure system, this object is achieved by the invention a crown cap is associated with a cap that a the Crown cork enclosing Cylinder jacket has and is dimensioned so that they flush with its peripheral edge with the teeth of the crown cork completes or slightly above this also available.

The Invention is based on the consideration, that one consistently high-quality impression in the perception of the consumer by the Crown cork not affected should be. For this purpose, when using a Crown cork usually typical striking appearance of the crown cork as far as possible is revealed to be covered. For a hiding the crown cork with all his teeth is his complete wrap very cheap. For this purpose, a cap is provided, which expediently at its peripheral edge at least flush with the teeth of the crown cork completes. The cap is designed such that in mounted Condition results in a particularly harmonious overall picture. For this purpose points the cap on the crown cork enclosing cylinder jacket, the especially a superficial ensures smooth design of the cap in its circulation area.

moreover is due to the smooth design of the entire outside the cap otherwise on contact of a number of crown corks possible with each other Get caught and damaged by the toothed design typical crown cork avoided. Around To ensure this in any case, the cap is dimensioned such that they flush at their peripheral edge with the teeth of the Crown cork completes.

In different situations, especially during the opening of the beverage bottle, there is a risk that the cap is removed from the crown cork becomes. To the cap on the one hand particularly easy on the crown cork force upon to be able to on the other hand, the unwanted To avoid removal of the cap from the crown cork and she particularly reliable on Crown cap to secure, has the cap advantageously a formed on its peripheral edge locking edge. This snap beach Acts like a snap closure by both a easy application on the crown cork allows as well as a safe Ensures fixation, so that the cap when removing the other outer packaging while of opening the bottle is not deducted. An alternative or cumulative permanent attachment between cap and crown cork is achieved by both in a particularly advantageous embodiment with each other are glued.

In order to the cap as an attachment for the crown cork is particularly well suited, it is expediently in terms of their form and their graphic equipment comparatively simple visually appealing. For this reason, the cap is advantageously made of aluminum, tinplate or plastic. On the one hand, this allows a desired one Embodiment of the cap with a comparatively small Processing effort and on the other hand use of the cap with a negligible Weight and volume contribution, with regard to handling, in particular with regard to transport and storage, is significant.

Around the cap, for example, with custom imprints the bottler, a special appreciation at the consumer, it is preferably with an information carrier element Provided. This can be legal in a particularly simple way Be met with a proof of origin the bottler or wine producer is required. One so special designed cap can also be considered as a collector object come.

Around at the good storage properties achievable by the crown cork also a special appreciation in terms of to ensure the entire outer packaging in the customer circles, points the bottle of wine closed ready for sale expediently a closure system that looks like one with a cork stopper close to closed wine bottle. For such an appearance are advantageously for repackaging the provided with the cap Kronenkorkens a mold cap and this together with a Part of the bottle neck enclosing capsule provided.

to warranty a compatible use of the mold cap in a multi-part Closure system is advantageously the inner diameter of the Mold cap adapted to the cylinder jacket of the cap.

The Mold cap also serves to maintain a particularly high dimensional stability and thus for protection against possibly occurring damage the crown cork and the cover enclosing it at different Handling steps and in particular during transport. For one Use in large numbers and a particularly low production cost is the mold cap preferably made of plastic, in particular designated as HD-PE High density polyethylene, made.

In further expedient embodiment the shape cap is dimensioned such that taking into account the sizing of the bottleneck with a first circumferential Lippenwulst in the immediate vicinity the pouring opening and arranged in comparison to this slightly larger distance to the pouring opening second circumferential Lippenwulstes creates the impression of a Oberbandmündung. At a top band mouth the bottle at the bottleneck has a wide circumferential bead on, the flush concludes with the pouring opening. By the appropriate dimensioning is in a particularly favorable manner ensured that for such a closed wine bottle with the customers the same Appreciation like a wine bottle traditionally sealed with cork stoppers is reachable. For this purpose, the form flap is expediently with its inner diameter adapted to the first circumferential lip.

in the The bottle is closed ready for sale and closes the mold cap expediently at its peripheral edge without big Offset or flush with the second circumferential lip of the mouth of the bottle. This is a tearing when applying the as a cladding provided, one-piece capsule on the mold cap and the respective Part of the bottleneck largely avoided. In addition, the shape cap across from from the outside acting forces particularly well supported on the bottleneck, so that, for example, during mechanically attaching the outer capsule, one especially high stability and resilience results. The capsule extends beyond the mold cap and surrounds furthermore also an upper part of the bottle neck of the wine bottle. Just Thus, the visual impression is almost the same as in a with a cork stopper closed champagne or wine bottle.

Regarding the beverage bottle the task is solved, by being closed with such a closure system.

Regarding the Method for closing a Beverage bottle, especially a champagne or wine bottle, is the task mentioned solved by the cap over a provided with the crown cork pouring is set, the mold cap premounted with a provided for forming the capsule output body and then over set the pouring opening provided with the cap and the crown cork is, followed by the starting body to form the capsule on the mold cap and on a respective part of the bottleneck is rolled or shrunk.

alternative is the task referred to solved by the method, by first the cap and the mold cap in one to form the capsule provided starting body pre-assembled and then over a provided with the crown cork pouring are set, and then the output body to form the capsule on the mold cap and on a respective part of the bottleneck is rolled or shrunk.

By the pre-assembly of the mold cap in one provided for the formation of the capsule output body is a particularly time-saving and effective manufacturing process reachable. The thus prepared intermediate can then in a simple manner on the crown cap already enveloping cap be set or after inserting the cap into the mold cap on the pouring cap occlusive crown cork be put over. Subsequently Then takes place in a capsule formed from tin, a uniform rolling and in a capsule formed on a PVC basis shrinking the Capsule to the mold cap and to the upper part of the bottle neck, making a particularly uniform and thus creating a high-quality impression of the closure system. at This sequence is the wine bottle as such the closing measures only for exposed to a comparatively short period of time, so that comparatively high Throughput rates are achievable.

In Particularly advantageous embodiment of both methods are the Cover cap and the crown cork over an adhesive, in particular Silicone, connected together. This is alternative or cumulative to the fixation by the integrally formed on the peripheral edge of the cap Rastrand a particularly secure attachment of the cap on guaranteed the crown cork. When properly opening the Bottle, for example, with a so-called waiter's knife, is first in a handling step removes the capsule together with the mold cap. After this step, only the cap is visible because of the reliable on the inside attached crown corks completely hidden by the cap is.

Regarding the Use, the above object is achieved by the cap as Information carrier area for approval numbers, indications of origin such as coats of arms, name of the bottler, bottling location, advertising or the like is used.

The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that by the combination of a crown cap with a cap which encloses the crown cork with its cylinder jacket and is dimensioned so that it is flush at its peripheral edge with the teeth of the crown cork, on the one hand a high quality closure given with high sealing effect and on the other hand on all outer surfaces by the smooth surface of the cap a visually appealing imprint with image and / or font information for the customer can be reached, and the consumer when opening the bottle of the typical crown cork hidden in all steps and thus a high-quality impression of the bottle and their contents. As a result, the crown cork, which is usually not particularly high standing or even regarded as inferior in the esteem among the consumers of wine or sparkling wine, is visually refined. The close continuous connectivity of both closure system elements via a bonding of the inside of the cap and the outside of the crown cork and / or the attachment between the crown cork and cap over its locking edge on the peripheral edge also ensure a particularly reliable and secure bond during the entire opening process. By adapting the form cap provided as a further closure system elements of the bottle mouth with respect to its inner diameter to the cylinder jacket of the cap, the cap can be inserted accurately into the relevant mold cap. By wrapping the mold cap, the further taking into account the dimensioning of the bottleneck with a first circumferential lip bead in the immediate vicinity of the pouring and arranged in comparison to this with a slightly greater distance to the pouring, second circumferential lip bead is formed, and the upper part of the Bottle neck with a common capsule is also ensured that the impression of a champagne or wine bottle with upper band mouth is mediated. This is associated with the customers a relatively high esteem with the thus offered drink.

On embodiment The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. It shows:

3 a cap in plan view,

4a a cap in a lateral lower view,

4b a cap over a Kronenkorken inverted cap in a side view below, and

5 the closure system of the wine bottle after 1 on average.

Same Parts are provided in all figures with the same reference numerals.

The wine bottle 1 according to 1 includes a bottle body 2 on which a bottleneck 4 is formed. Instead of the wine bottle 1 It could also be a champagne bottle. The bottleneck 4 flows into an in 1 invisible spout 6 that with a locking system 8th is wrapped. The closure system 8th is in terms of its visual impression, so in particular with regard to its dimensions, taking into account the dimensioning of the bottle neck 4 , as a bead 9 designed so that the impression of a so-called upper band mouth arises for a consumer or consumer.

The closure system 8th is designed such that even with a long storage time, an impairment of the stored beverage, especially in the wine bottle 1 stored wine, is excluded in terms of taste. This is the closure system 8th designed with a consistent abandonment of a cork stopper. Instead, a crown cork closes 10 the pouring opening 6 the wine bottle 1 , as in 2a shown in cross section. A number of grip on the outer edge of the crown cork 10 arranged bending ribs 12 through the so-called teeth 13 of the crown cork 10 are separated from each other, a first upper lip bead 14 , the bottleneck 4 in the immediate vicinity of the pouring opening 6 is formed.

The crown cork 10 is designed according to DIN 6099 and has, adapted to the dimensioning of the bottle neck 4 , a free diameter of 26.75 mm and a height of 6.8 mm. However, other diameters, for example, about 24.75 mm, 29.75 mm, 32.75 mm or 36.75 mm, depending on the nominal diameter of the bottle neck 4 , be elected. The crown cork 10 is in an interior area 16 on its side facing the bottle interior with a sealing element 18 Provided. The sealing element 18 is in the embodiment of plastic, namely of low density polyethylene (LD-PE), manufactured and dimensioned in its dimensions such that it is the pouring opening 6 completely covers. With mounted crown cork 10 becomes the sealing element 18 as a result of the stapling action of the first upper lip ridge 14 encompassing bending ribs 12 completely to the peripheral edge of the pouring opening 6 pressed down so that these are completely tight is closed. It can be in the wine bottle 1 stored wine, only with the material of the sealing element 18 contact. Thus, an impairment of the stored wine, especially in terms of flavor, by entry of cork material for example, safely excluded.

The crown cork 10 is made of stainless steel. His metal body is made of the material ASI 316. Such a choice of material allows even under unfavorable conditions a long storage time without affecting the closure effect, for example, by corrosion. Thus, this crown cork 10 Also particularly suitable for a long-term storage of wine even in unfavorable, for example saline or sulfur-containing outside atmosphere.

In a comparison to the first circumferential upper lip ridge 14 slightly larger distance to the pouring opening 6 indicates the bottleneck 4 a second circumferential lip 20 on. This is compared to the first upper lip ridge 14 slightly larger dimensions. Furthermore, the thus designed estuary awakens with opened wine bottle 1 a particularly high-quality impression, whereby a qualitative proximity to a champagne or champagne bottle is produced.

Wine and sparkling wine consumers will get one with a crown cork 10 sealed bottle and its contents, despite the proven advantages to cork stoppers often classified as inferior because of the visual impression. That's why the crown cork is 10 , as in 2 B shown. a cap 22 assigned to one the crown cork 10 enclosing cylinder jacket 23 having. The cap 22 is dimensioned such that they are at their peripheral edge 24 flush with the teeth 13 of the crown cork 10 closes or slightly beyond this. Thus, the typical appearance of the crown cork 10 hidden. Especially the smooth design of the outside 26 the cap 22 Make sure the cap 22 not with a typical crown cork 10 is associated and thus a particularly elegant appearance is granted. This smooth design also prevents an otherwise Kronenkorken 10 through her teeth 13 possible snagging when in contact with other bottles.

Furthermore, the cap is for example particularly suitable as an information carrier surface 28 for information carrier elements 30 such as approval numbers, indications of origin, such as coats of arms, as in 3 shown, name of the bottler, bottling location, or advertising, etc. The information carrier elements 30 can during the manufacturing process of the cap 22 in a representative manner on the information carrier surface 28 For example, be imprinted, punched or imprinted. By an attractive visual design, the cap 22 also be considered as a collector's item for the customer. Alternatively or additionally, comparatively simple information carrier elements can also be used 30 , for example in the form of short lettering or imprints, on the cylinder jacket 23 be upset.

In the embodiment, the cap is 22 made of aluminum, tinplate or plastic. The choice of material allows a visually appealing design with respect to the design of the cap 22 with a comparatively low processing effort, eg during molding and printing. Furthermore, the weight and volume contribution, which is of importance in terms of handling, in particular with regard to transport and storage, is negligible.

In the embodiment, as in the 4a and 4b shown at the peripheral edge 24 the cap 22 a snap-in beach 32 formed. This works in the manner of a snap closure and thus attaches the cap 22 after putting it over the crown cork 10 reliable on him. This is after putting the cap 22 on the crown cork 10 accidental removal of the cap 22 from the crown cork 10 especially during the opening of the wine bottle 1 , certainly excluded. Alternatively or cumulatively to the fixation over the snap edge 32 at the peripheral edge 24 the cap 22 is also a permanent and reliable connection between the crown cork 10 and the cap 22 via an adhesive, in particular silicone, can be used. This is optionally for this purpose on the inside 33 the cap 22 and / or on the relevant crown cork 10 applied.

For further repackaging of under the cap 22 hidden crown cork 10 are a shape cap 34 and one, this together with a part of the bottleneck 4 enclosing, capsule 36 provided as in 5 shown. For a compatible use of the mold cap 34 in a multipart locking system 8th is advantageously the inner diameter d of the mold cap 34 to the cylinder jacket 23 the cap 22 adapted in the sense that the shape cap 34 the cap 22 , if necessary with some play, surrounds. This allows the cap 22 effortlessly in the mold cap 34 be inserted. Furthermore, the inner diameter d is in view of the outer diameter of the bottle neck 4 in the area of the second circumferential lip 20 chosen so that a safer, possibly form conclusive fit of the mold cap 34 on the second lip 20 results.

This shape cap 34 is further dimensioned so that they together with the second lip bead 20 forms a shell, with closed wine bottle 1 the cap 22 and the crown cork 10 completely surrounds and thus excludes any direct mechanical contact with foreign parts as well as the impression of a top-band mouth of the wine bottle 1 arises.

The shape cap 34 is made of plastic, namely high density polyethylene (HD-PE). The shape cap 34 is common with an upper part 38 of the bottleneck 4 from the capsule 36 enclosed. The capsule 36 can be designed as a tin capsule is in the embodiment but from a "Duplo film" referred to both sides aluminum-laminated polyethylene film or made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. The cap 22 , the shape cap 34 and the capsule 36 make up together with the crown cork 10 the closure system 8th , The capsule 36 This is similar to the design of a bottle capsule or tin capsule usually used for a wine bottle closed with cork stoppers, so that, in particular with regard to the selected dimensions of the mold cap 34 , the second lip ridge 20 and the bottleneck 4 for the completely closed wine bottle 1 gives the impression of a conventionally closed with cork stopper wine bottle. The thus formed closure system 8th thus allows not only a high-quality storage of the wine without taste impairment even with long storage time, but also ensures the optical design of a special appreciation of the customers.

In the embodiment, for closing the wine bottle 1 the cap 22 over with the crown cork 10 closed pouring opening 6 set and in a parallel or temporally pre-staggered further step the mold cap 34 in one for the formation of the capsule 36 provided starting body 40 inserted and glued there. Then this is made of shape cap 34 and the starting body 40 formed closure product over the with the cap 22 provided crown corks 10 slipped. Finally, the on the mold cap 34 attached starting body 40 by shrinking with the mold cap 34 as well as with the upper part 38 of the bottleneck 4 brought into firm contact with the capsule 36 forms. In a tin-based capsule, the attachment takes place instead of by shrinking by rolling. In this sequence is the wine bottle 1 As such, the closure measures are only exposed for a comparatively short period of time, so that comparatively high throughput rates can be achieved.

When opening the thus closed wine bottle 1 will the capsule 36 by a suitable cutting tool first in an area below the mold cap 34 , for example in the by the peripheral edge 42 and the bottleneck 4 formed groove, separated. Subsequently, the mold cap 34 , among other things also due to their suitably chosen dimensions, in a relatively simple way from the bottleneck 4 be deducted, so that the crown cork 10 completely enveloping cap 22 is now exposed, as in 2 B shown. The one with the cap 22 firmly connected crown corks 10 is thus - without being visible to the viewer as such - for an opening of the pouring opening 6 accessible and can be lifted for example by means of a bottle opener. The viewer thus remains during the entire opening measures the "naked" appearance of the typical crown cork 10 hidden. Instead, the design of the cap, which is graphically desired by the bottler or manufacturer, gives the cap 22 additional information and advertising information for the consumer and ensures in any case for a higher quality impression than the typical crown cork 10 in the consumer and consumer circles is usually able. In appealing for the customer design of the cap 22 even the later use as a collector object is conceivable.

The wine bottle 1 thus has a closure system in the closed state 8th on the one hand, an impairment of the tightness of the crown cork 10 safely avoided and on the other hand during the opening process even after removing the capsule 36 with the mold cap 34 consistently conveys a high-quality overall impression to the customer, since the crown cork 10 permanently from the cap 22 is completely wrapped.
