Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a capsule for overcapping bottles provided with a wire cap and allowing easy passage of the wire ring when capping the bottles.
  • Champagne bottles more generally those of sparkling wines and often carbonated drinks such as ciders, are closed by a stopper held in the neck under a strong constraint due to the pressure in the bottle.
  • This plug is held in place, despite the pressure, by a piece, made of twisted metal wire, called “wire cup”.
  • This muselet is supported on the top of the stopper by means of a metal plate which prevents its penetration into the stopper. It is supported, at its lower part, on the ring of the bottle, a twisted loop at the time of installation coming to decrease the initial diameter, this twisted loop being folded longitudinally upwards on the neck of the bottle.
  • the opening of the bottle implies the grip and the deployment of this loop which is then untwisted to release the muselet then the stopper.
  • the capsule has the shape of an elongated truncated cone, closed at the top and open at the base. During installation, it is pressed onto the cap and the neck, then crimped to the shape of the latter, generally by means of four vertical folds which are then folded down and smoothed. A line of perforations, coming to be placed under the ring of the bottle, is often used to facilitate the uncapping.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a capsule allowing a rapid and safe passage of the ring of the muselet when the capsule is applied, even on an automatic machine.
  • a capsule comprising a slot having the shape of a continuous or broken curve whose concavity is turned towards the bottom of the capsule.
  • the slot made in the capsule is an arc of a circle.
  • the slot has the form of a broken line whose central part is horizontal and whose two more or less inclined sides are directed downward relative to the central part.
  • the extreme low points of the slit are extended by the perforations which are usually made to allow the capsule to be torn at the level of the muselet, the usual perforations being eliminated between the two ends of the slit.
  • a capsule is generally in the form of a truncated cone closed at its upper end 1 and open at its lower end 2.
  • the capsule In order to allow tearing and removal of the part upper part of the capsule when uncorking the bottle, the capsule has a perforation line 3.
  • the capsule In order to allow the passage of the wire loop when the capsule is placed on the bottle, the latter includes a slot 4 delimiting a tab 5 which is raised during installation.
  • the capsule also includes grooves 6 extending along the line of greatest slope of the truncated cone.
  • the capsule comprises two lines of perforations 7 and 8 delimiting between them a tear strip sometimes reinforced internally by a ribbon of a material suitable for use, plastic, aluminum or other and whose ends 9 can be cut in shape to allow easier gripping, a space 10 sometimes existing between the ends of the tear strip.
  • a slot formed substantially at the same level as the slot 4 of Figure 1, but having a concavity facing downwards.
  • the slot 11 is in the form of an arc of a circle and its ends are at the level of the line of perforations 3.
  • the slot 12 has the form of a broken line, the ends of which are also arranged at the level of the line of perforations 3.
  • the perforations are interrupted between the ends of the slot in line with the latter.
  • the metal tab delimited at its upper part by the curve whose concavity is directed down allows, because of its shape and this, even if the eyelet of the twisted loop of the wire is not perfectly centered, to easily lower the capsule along the eyelet, without providing resistance and without risk of tearing of the capsule.
  • the metal tab has, in addition, the advantage of covering the twist or lower part of the wire loop and thus hiding the glass of the bottle, unlike the embodiments of the prior art. Note also that for proper use of the capsu According to the invention, it is necessary to provide an alignment of the slot with the loop of the wire cup when the capsule is placed on the bottle. Such alignment will be obtained by the usual methods of aligning the capsule on the bottle.
  • FIG. 2 to 4 there is shown a capsule having no grooves. It will be noted that the present invention does not preclude the production of capsules comprising grooves 6 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • a zone 13 as shown in Figure 5 adjacent to the slot 11 and disposed above it and having no grooves or even formed in a slight flat. Such a zone accentuates the opening effect at the level of the slot 11 and ensures easier passage of the loop of the wire through the slot.
  • the ends of the slot 11 or 12 can stop at a level slightly higher than the line of perforations when the latter is formed on the capsule, the connection between the ends of the slot and the line of perforations being ruptured when the bottle is opened, when the wire loop is untwisted and folded down to release the wire from the bottle ring.
