Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a pouring cap, in particular for liquids.
  • the invention has a particular and convenient, although not exclusive, application for containers of liquid, for alimentary use also, for cans, bottles and similar, which particularly facilitates the relative distribution.
  • Pouring devices are known in the present state of art which are used in particular for containers of alimentary liquids such as oil and vinegar. Such devices can be grouped in two differing categories:
  • the first type has a structure which is generally in rigid plastic inserted axially on the upper part of the can where the terminal part being a small tubular piece on which the closing tap or plug is placed.
  • the second type has a means of distribution consisting of an essentially ring-shaped structure for insertion in an opening preventively obtained in the upper part of the container, and a second structure or small tubular piece arranged inside and connected to it being the last one in deformable material, being further provided by a cap or plug which is positioned above the respective opening end inserted in it in tightening condition.
  • a cap or plug which is positioned above the respective opening end inserted in it in tightening condition.
  • the distribution and container closing device is in two parts, respectively the first part being made up of the tubular piece and relative support while the second one consists of the real cap or cover.
  • An inconvenience to be found in the first solution is of the functional type, as it is a bulky device which is particularly unsuitable for can packaging, and also presents excessive costs in respect to the use for which it is destined.
  • the tubular piece often does not discharge.
  • This inconvenience can arise because this one is often stiff to lift and as the cap is only lightly attached to it, they are jerked apart detaching the tube and leaving the half neck coplanar to the upper part, for example, of the can.
  • the breakage of the cap itself, or of the pourer may occur due to excessive force used for extraction.
  • the can is consequently awkward to use and determines abundant and undesired pouring, together with sprinkling of drops which cannot be controlled.
  • the pouring cap consists of a sole piece closing structure in flexible material, having a border rotatable opening (US-A 3 373 909 BELCHER / US-A 3 266 681 RABB) or a diametric rotatable opening (US-A 3 404 815 PORTER).
  • a hinged cap-tongue integrally attached to one end of the respective opening comprising a pair of side walls extended in closure position inside the container in upsidedown "U" shape, said hinged cap-tongue being movable from closure position to protruded open position for pouring or vice versa, in an arc-like movement in respect of his hinging axis.
  • US-A 3 404 815 PORTER disclosure can be considered actually the best solution to overcome the majority of the problems, bat has the inconvenience that in opening pouring position, the respective side walls of the "U"-shaped cap-tongue (pouring spout) do not realize lateral tight, so in pouring operation liquid content can be shed- ded or drop and the same inconvenient arises in the previous ones border opening solutions.
  • US-A 3 266 681 RABB solution which constitutes the preamble to claim 1, is only conceived for granular or powdered material (and the tight scope being directed between the cap (12) in plastic material and the can (14).
  • the cap (12) comprising integrally molded an orthogonal protruding flat spout (18) (see Fig. 1 and its description in page 1 column 1).
  • Said flat spout (18) being realized with a pair of parallel hinge lines (26 and 28) that define two opposed sides (22 and 24) in a single coplanar piece (18) with a central portion (20) ("substantially flat", lines 30 to 34 column 1 page 1), after filled the can with powder material (ground caffe, salt, sugar or the like, line 23 column 2 page 1) and insertion of the cap (12) in the can (14 Fig. 1), said sides (22, 24) are bent and inserted in an adjacent aperture (22) with their stop means (40, 42) displaced under the wall cover (12), for elastically replacing under the surface cover (12) in close flat form under said surface cover (Fig. 6).
  • US-A 3 373 909 discloses a dispensing-type of closure cap comprising a disk-like top or panel, at the periphery of which is a depending flared wall which is connected at its lower margin to a coaxial cylindrical attaching skirt for securing the cap to a container, the flared wall having a dispensing opening and pour-spout with the latter hinged to the cap at about the juncture of the flared wall and skirt.
  • the object of the present invention is further to eliminate the above-mentioned inconveniences.
  • a can-type container (B) has a cover structure (A) in a single piece of flexible material (1) which closes the can or part of it from above.
  • the support structure (1) has an opening (2), preferably rectangular, which permits passage from the inside of the can to the outside.
  • a spout-tongue (3) is hinged at one end (3') on one side (2') of the opening (2) obtained on the cover or lid (1), and said tongue has a tongue-projection (4) in correspondence with the opposite end to faci- lilate the grip necessary to lift it.
  • a pair of starting-parallel walls (5) are longitudinally obtained, partially ring-shaped and arranged ortogonally to said surface (a) which are projected towards the inside of the container (B), to realize in closing position a tight plug.
  • Rotation is effected by gripping and lifting the tongue-projection (4) to rotate it on the hingeing axis (b), thus making an arc movement which determines the protrusion of the tongue above the upper surface cover and bringing it to a position of nearly 90° in respect to the original one.
  • the tongue plug (3) and with its inside surface (a) are entirely on the outside together with the longitudinal walls (5) which realize the pouring seat, being essentially "U"-shaped. After use it is sufficient to carry out the operation in reverse by coun- terotating and pressing the tongue plug (3) to take it back to the original position where it will contact the perimetric edges of said opening (2) to realizes a light.
