Definitions
- the present invention relates to bottle closure devices of the type that comprise an antirefilling valve and a closure cap with a pilfer-proof guarantee collar.
- Closure devices of this kind are known; their function is to make sure that the bottle, once opened with tearing of the collar, cannot then be illicitly refilled, for example with an inferior quality liquid, by tampering with the device.
- closure devices in normal use is such that they can be manipulated with comparative ease, which means that they give no guarantee as to the inaccessibility of the bottle.
- each of them can be used only for one specific bottle mouth, in the sense that a given closure device cannot be adapted to any bottle mouth other than that for which it was designed.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a novel closure device of the aforesaid kind which will eliminate these disadvantages and limitations.
- the said object is achieved by a closure device provided with a pourer unit which is locked elastically and leaktightly inside the bottle mouth by means of a cylindrical wall which includes an annular zone or band that is designed to sever if the device is tampered with.
- the pourer unit includes a pourer body that comprises the cylindrical wall with its preferentially severable band and a tubular body designed to prevent leaks, to lock elastically against said cylindrical wall and to lock them both in the orifice of the bottle.
- the tubular body is locked in the orifice of the bottle by means of a plurality of elastic circular flanges capable of bending upwards, as the pourer unit is inserted in the orifice, in such a way as to engage leaktightly and with pressure in the orifice of the bottle and thus both prevent the liquid from escaping and prevent the pourer unit from being withdrawn from the bottle.
- the closure device basically comprises a pourer unit 1, which is locked elastically and leaktightly inside the orifice 2 or 2A of the bottle 3, and an aluminium closure cap 4 with an inner stopper 5, which is screwed onto the neck of the bottle.
- the cap is provided in a known way with a guarantee collar 6 which will be torn when the bottle is opened for the first time.
- the pourer unit 1 consists of two components made of elastic plastics material: a pourer 7 for pouring out the liquid and a tubular body 8, hereinafter termed the seal, which provides leaktightness and interconnects the parts.
- the pourer 7 is specially shaped and comprises a middle part 9 and an outer cylindrical wall 10 that is locked elastically and leaktightly inside the seal 8. These parts are locked to each other by a snap connection between the two opposing lateral surfaces, one of which, for example the outer surface of the wall 10, has parallel annular projections or lips 11, while the other, namely the inner surface of the seal 8, has an equal number of parallel annular grooves or recesses 12.
- the seal 8 in turn is also locked elastically and leaktightly inside the orifice 2 or 2A of the bottle, as explained below.
- the pourer terminates at its outer end in a circular flange 13 which is clamped leaktightly against the rim of the bottle when the closure cap 4 is screwed down.
- the cylindrical wall 10 of the pourer at a point close to its connection with the flange 13, has an annular band or zone 14 designed to break when said flange or the middle part 9 of the pourer are tampered with by a turning or pulling or other illicit action.
- the severable band 14 may be embodied in a variety of ways. It is essential that it consists of an annular wall whose thickness is less than that of the rest of the wall 10 so as to provide a weak zone that will tear readily in the event of the pourer's being forced.
- the antirefill function of the bottle is thus guaranteed with absolute certainty.
- the preferentially severable band 14 is formed by a rounded groove, i.e. its thickness decreases gradually towards the interior (see in particular Fig. 3).
- the preferentially severable band 14A takes the form of a rectangular groove, while in Figures 5 and 6 it takes the form of a band 14B comprising a series of bridges, that is a succession of sectors of a circle of reduced thickness 15 and sectors of a circle of normal thickness 16.
- the preferentially severable groove may also be triangular or may take the form of a suitable preincision.
- Fig. 5 also shows that the wall 10 has an annular depression 12A instead of a lip for the snap connection with a corresponding annular projection, not shown, on the seal.
- seal 8 is anchored elastically and leaktightly inside the orifice of the bottle by means of a plurality of parallel circular elastic flanges 17 which jam against the inside of the orifice.
- the flanges 17 In the rest condition the flanges 17 assume a laterally extended position, their edges only slightly raised, so that when the seal 8 is placed inside the mouth of the bottle the flanges bend (flex) upwards, thereby both preventing the liquid from escaping and locking the seal inside the bottle.
- the orifice of the bottle may include a widening at an intermediate level, as indicated at 2A in Fig. 2.
- a great advantage of the elastic flanges 17 is that with suitable shape and dimensions, it is possible to use the same pourer unit for closing bottles whose mouths are within a wide range of dimensions, thanks to the elasticity of the flanges which enable them to adopt the right curvature for the orifice of the bottle.
- a circular seat 18 At the lower end of the seal 8 is a circular seat 18 on which the free stop means 19 of the valve, normally consisting of a ball, rests in normal rest conditions.
- the seal has radial walls or fins 20 whose function is to guide the movement of the stop means when the liquid is being poured.
- the purpose of the recess 21 is to catch at least some of the liquid as it flows into the mouth of the bottle as pouring begins, and so promote a steady outflow of the liquid over the flange 13.
- the pourer is provided with apertures 23 distributed at angular intervals all around the connecting wall to which the flange 13 is joined.
- the closure device is completed by the cap 4, the wedge-shaped annular lip 24 of whose inner stopper 5 closes leaktightly on the flange 13 and squeezes it against the rim of the bottle.
- the inner stopper 5 has a projecting inner cylindrical wall 25 whose edge catches under the top edge of the apertures 23 and in an annular groove, not shown, formed in the wall containing these apertures.
- the purpose of the wall 25 is to keep the unit consisting of the pourer 7 and the seal 8 firmly anchored to the cap 4 and also to help to seal the liquid inside the bottle.
- the cap 4, the inner stopper 5, the pourer 7 and the seal 8 constitute a pre-assembled unit which is mounted in the bottle orifice in a single step when the mouth is being closed.
- closure device according to the invention eliminates all the disadvantages and drawbacks of known devices.
- the proposed device is both extremely inexpensive and functional for the uses for which the invention is intended.
- a variant of the system of fitting the device is to form the closure in two stages, by first inserting the pourer-seal unit 7-8 in the mouth of the bottle, and then applying the aluminium cap 4 with a seal differing in shape and material to that indicated for the inner stopper 5.
- a quite advantageous characteristic of the closure device according to the invention resides in the fact that the inner stopper 5 which is preferentially made of plastics material having a certain elasticity, is provided with a peripheral conical flange designated by 26 in Fig. 7. This peripheral conical flange 26 extends radially outwardly with respect to the flange 13 and the pourer 7, and flares downwards.
- the aluminium closure cap 4 is provided at a distance from the top thereof with an internal annular projection 27 which is made by suitably deforming radially the skirt of said cap 4.
- peripheral conical flange 26 of the inner stopper 5 and the internal annular projection 27 in the aluminium closure cap 4 are appropriately dimensioned relative to each other, in such a manner that when the closure device is being assembled, the inner stopper 5 comes to be fitted into the cap 4, and the lower end edge of the peripheral conical flange 26 is caused, by being elastically compressed radially, to get over the internal annular projection 27 in the closure cap 4 and to be snappingly engaged with said projection 27.
- the peripheral flange 26 of the inner stopper 5 comes to be embedded in the aluminium closure cap 4 between the top and the internal annular projection thereof, so that the liquid pourer unit as a whole, which comprises the pourer 7 and the tubular body 8 with the valve stop means 19, is fastened by means of the inner stopper 5 to the interior of the aluminium closure cap 4. It is therefore possible to pre-assemble the closure device indipendently from a bottle, that is, to obtain a preassembled unit shown in Fig. 7, which can be handled and applied as such to the bottle mouth on closing a bottle.
- the pourer unit is similarly fastenable to the aluminium closure cap 4, so as to obtain a pre-assembled unit according to Fig. 7.
- Such a similar fastening can be effected even without the provision of the internal annular projection 27 in said cap 4, so that the inner stopper 5 is fitted with a light force into the aluminium closure cap 4, and a frictional embedding therein of the inner stopper 5 is obtained by taking advantage of the elastic radial compressibility of the preferentially conical flange 26 thereof.
