Definitions

  • This invention relates to a security stopper.
  • This stopper is of the type screwed on to the neck of bottles, flasks and other containers, with the peculiarity that it cannot be applied thereto or removed therefrom without the use of a suitable key or tool.
  • the stopper of the invention comprises two caplike bodies, one of which is larger and is unreleasably engaged on the other due, at least, to a suitably shaped projection formed on one of the two side contact surfaces of said bodies and which is inserted in a peripheral groove of the other, while at the same time the larger body is allowed freely to rotate about the smaller one.
  • the smaller body is the one screwed on the neck of the pertinent container, being manipulated for such purpose by a key or tool, which will be inserted in an external upper chase in said smaller body through an upper aperture of the larger body.
  • the stopper comprises a shoulder formed on one of the contact surfaces between the two bodies of the stopper and which, when the latter is rotated for screwing on the container neck, will abut a stop formed on the contact surface between the two bodies opposite the one surface, whereby the outer body will pull along the inner one to enable it to be screwed up without the aid of the key or tool.
  • the shoulder shall comprise, in the area where it contacts the stop in said unscrewing action, a recess allowing it to slide over said stop without pulling the inner body of the stopper along with the outer one.
  • the said shoulder and stop may be disposed both on the upper contact surfaces of both bodies forming the stopper and on the side surfaces, and both also comprise them (although it is not necessary) and the stop may be formed within a channel whereby the shoulder would advantageously be guided therein without the possibility of it being deformed on abutting said stop and no movement occurring.
  • the peripheral slot and consequent projection penetrating therein formed on the side contact surfaces of the two bodies forming the stopper to prevent one from being separated from the other may also comprise them, with the shoulder being in the slot and said projection forming the stop, which, if it is peripheral, may have a wedge-shaped notch, the step of which forms the said stop.
  • the stopper shown is formed by two caps 1 and 2, the former being larger and engaged over the second one on which it may rotate freely but without being able to be separated therefrom, because the outer surface of said body 2 has a peripheral wedge-shaped projection 3 which engages in an also peripheral slot 4 of the same shape on the inner side surface of the body 1.
  • the body 1 which may externally have any shape further to the one shown, is provided at the top thereof with an aperture 5 allowing the passage of a portion 6 of a key 7 which will engage in an upper external chase 8 of the body 2 to manipulate it on the threaded neck C of the flask F, to screw it thereon or unscrew it therefrom, the said body 2 having for this purpose a threaded inner surface, the thread form of which will be the suitable one for each container.
  • the key 7 shown is of discoid shape, with the edge 9 peripherally knurled for better handling, and a lower central projection forming the said part 6 to be inserted in the chase 8 of the stopper.
  • the key 7 and the said projection 6 and chase 8 may be of any shape deemed to be desirable.
  • the body 1 of the stopper has at the top on the inner surface thereof around the aperture 5 allowing access of the part of the operating key or tool to the external upper chase 8 of the body 2, three equidistantly spaced shoulders 10 which, when the body 1 rotates, will abut against the corresponding teeth 11 provided in a peripheral channel 12 of the external surface of the body 2, pulling the latter along only when screwing the stopper on the pertinent flask F, since said shoulders 10 and teeth 11 are provided with respective recesses 10' and 11' in the respective contact areas when the stopper is unscrewed from the neck C of said flask F, causing one to slide over the other without pulling it along.
  • the peripheral slot 4 in which the projection 3 preventing separation of the two stopper bodies is inserted may be slightly wider than the said projection 3 with the excess space being on the underside, to allow the shoulder 10 to ride over the tooth 11 where the stopper material is only slightly resilient or completely non-resilient, and provided always that said shoulder and tooth are in the top of the stopper, as shown in the example.
  • the shoulder and the tooth may also be arranged on the side contact surfaces of the two stopper bodies, being included in the slot 4 and projection 3 (as shown in Figure 6) or away from them, with the shoulder projecting from said slot 4, shown here with the reference 10a, while the function of the tooth will be performed by the shoulder 11'a of a wedge-shaped notch lla formed on the peripheral projection 3.
  • the stopper will comprise the pertinent security seal 14 when applicable to containers having products for retail sale, thereby preventing possible manipulation by intermediate persons.
