Safety cap, especially for screw cap bottles

The innovation relates to a safety closure, especially for screw-top bottles.

Screw-top bottles often have an integrally formed safety collar, which is provided on the bottle neck Ring shoulder engages below and connected to the actual screw cap via a predetermined breaking line is. After opening the screw cap for the first time, this safety collar remains on the Bottleneck back; he can no longer exercise a safety function.

The task of the innovation is therefore to provide a safety cap, especially for screw cap bottles that can be easily attached after opening the bottle for the first time, and the securely prevents unauthorized opening of the bottle.

To solve this problem, the safety lock according to the innovation is characterized in that it has two having semi-cylindrical shells which are articulated by means of a hinge axis parallel to their central axis are connected to each other, and their inner diameter

at least the outer diameter of the screw cap or the bottle neck near the bottle opening corresponds to / that the two shells have inwardly facing molded holding projections, and that on the hinge axis opposite side on the two shells interacting connecting elements are arranged, into which a securing member that holds the two shells together can be inserted.

The two shells can be opened along the hinge axis, whereupon the safety lock can be placed on the bottle neck in a simple manner. After folding the two together Shells he is axially secured on the bottle neck by the holding projections, so that after the insertion of the securing member holding the two shells together, an unauthorized removal of the shells from the bottle neck is no longer possible. This means that the screw cap can no longer be removed so that the contents of the bottle remain secure.

The two half-shells result, especially if they are designed accordingly on the outside are, an aesthetically pleasing overall impression, so that the new safety lock in particular Also suitable for use in B.ars or the like, where it matters, whiskey or spirits bottles protect against unauthorized removal.

The hinge axis can be arranged in aligned holes on the outside of the shells, interlocking hinge eyes be inserted, which ensures that the shells when

Unfold can also be moved apart in the area of the hinge axis. This makes that easier Place the safety cap on the neck of the bottle.

In a preferred embodiment, the connecting parts are molded onto the two shells, when the shells are joined together, the locking parts are located next to one another and each have a hole, the bores of the two locking parts being aligned with one another when the shells are joined together are. The locking member can be a padlock, which with its shackle simply in the one another aligned holes of the bolt parts is hooked and that of the safety lock sitting on the bottle gives it an original look.

The holding projections securely fixing the shells on the bottle neck are expedient formed by ring shoulders, which are attached to the shells in the area of the frontal edge can be arranged.

The shells are advantageously made of either plastic material or metal and can, at least on their outside, improve their appearance Coating, for example in the form of a metal or plastic layer, wear.

In the drawing, an embodiment of the subject of the innovation is shown. Show it:

FIG. 2 shows the safety lock according to FIG. 1, in a side view, with the omitted Padlock, and

3 shows the safety lock according to FIG. 2, in a top view.

The safety closure placed on the neck of a bottle indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1 consists of two identical, essentially semi-cylindrical shells 2, 3 made of metal or plastic material to which interlocking hinge eyes 4.5 are formed on one edge side, which each have a through hole 6 (Fig. 2). In the assembled state of the shells 2 aligned Bore 6 is inserted a hinge axis 7 which is parallel to that indicated at 8 in FIG The central axis of the shells 2, 3 runs. The hinge axis 7 can be seen at a lateral distance from the Outer peripheral surface of the shells 2,3 arranged, with which What is achieved is that when the shells 2, 3 are unfolded, they also come apart in the region of the hinge axis 7 be moved.

On the side opposite the hinge axis 7, two tab-like shells are attached to the outside of the shells 2, 3 Locking parts 9, 10 are formed which, in the manner shown in FIGS and each have a through hole 11. In the assembled state of the shells 2,3 are aligned the two bores 11 with each other, so that a continuous locking member can be inserted into them can that, together with the hinge axis 7, holds the two shells 2, 3 together. This safety link

can for example be a padlock 12,
whose bracket 13 is suspended in the bores 11.

On the two shells 2, 3 is in each case in the area
the frontal edge is pointing inwards
Shaped retaining projection, which is in the form of a
Ring shoulder 14 or 15 (Fig. 2) is formed.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the arrangement is such
made that the upper ring shoulder 14 with the safety lock is in place, the no further t

illustrated screw cap or the

Bottle opening itself overlaps, while the ν

The lower ring shoulder 15 is the usual one formed on the bottle neck in the vicinity of the bottle opening
Ring bead 17 engages behind. This means that the safety lock on the bottle neck cannot be lost ί

held. j |

The safety lock can of course also be used for I

other, not by means of a screw cap f

Sealed bottles are used, which is mentioned for the sake of order.

The shells 2 of the safety lock can on
wear a coating on the outside that improves their appearance, for example by being nickel-plated, chrome-plated or nickel-plated.
