Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic capsule for the hermetic sealing of bottles with a tamper evident ring, particularly for sealing bottles in glass or thermoplastic which contain drinks.
  • thermoplastic bottles for example polyethylene (or polyethylene terephthalate commonly known by the abbreviation PET) or similar, or glass which can be used again, thrown away and lost or recycled for further use.
  • caps known as capsules are generally used to seal these bottles, and they are usually made of plastic.
  • a requirement of bottling companies is that the capsules are made so that it is easy to apply them to the neck of the bottle during bottling, and to attach them to the elements for safeguarding: usually this is done by using a tamper evident ring which is found in practically all capsules available on the market and is designed to show whether a container is intact and has not been tampered with or used.
  • a tamper evident ring which is found in practically all capsules available on the market and is designed to show whether a container is intact and has not been tampered with or used.
  • the capsule has attached to its lower edge a ring which is attached to the body of the capsule with a series of bridges uniformly distributed along the circumference.
  • the producers of the capsule have dealt with the problem of a cap which can be placed onto the neck of the bottle without the danger of breaking the projections, while at the same time they have to break easily when the bottle is being opened by the consumer.
  • This requirement has to take into account market tendencies and the needs of the bottles, who require that the tamper evident ring, after the capsule has been used, remains firmly anchored to the neck of the bottle or the cap itself; this is because it's necessary to eliminate the extra task of throwing away the tamper evident ring due to, in the case of thermoplastic bottles, the need to simplify the recycling of primary material.
  • the teeth are positioned on the longer segment, and uniformly distributed along it at an angle slightly greater than flat: this is to ensure, on one hand that it is as easy as possible to place the cap on the bottle in a way which, as said before, should not break the projections, and on the other to ensure that they do break when the cap is unscrewed.
  • the asymmetry of the position of the teeth is designed to enable the ring to be moved radially when placing it on the bottle (this is also partly the result of the elasticity and flexibility of the material), and the anchorage of the teeth on the cap onto the lower threads which ensure the breakage of the bridges before, and then at least one of the projections, thus breaking the ring while keeping it connected to the cap.
  • the capsule is made in plastic and used for the hermetic sealing of bottles containing water or other soft drinks.
  • the capsule 3 consists of a cap 4 with threads inside 5 which can be screwed to relative threads 6 on the neck 7 of the bottle 1 which has an opening 8 for pouring out the contained liquid, and of a collar 16 placed below the threads 6.
  • the cap 4 has a tamper evident ring 2, which consists of a circular ring subdivided in two parts or circular segments of which one 2a is the larger and one 2b is the smaller.
  • the two segments 2a and 2b are linked together by projections 12, in effect by narrowing the larger segment; the larger segment has a number of bridges 9 uniformly distributed and joined to the opening of the cap 4, while the smaller segment 2b is solidly connected to the cap 4 by just one bridge 13: with this structure the ring is only partially separated from the cap 4 when the capsule 3 is unscrewed.
  • 10 indicates the means of anchoring the ring 2 to the collar 16 of the bottle 1; these means 10 enable the closure of the bottle 1 to be kept intact and the partial separation of the cap 4 when it is unscrewed.
  • these means positioned on the internal surface of the ring 2 correspond to the threads 6 on the neck 7 of the bottle 1.
  • these means 10 for anchoring the ring 2 and for separating the same consist of a transversal projection or teeth 11, around the circumference of the ring 2, thus reducing its internal diameter and anchoring it to the lower edge of the collar of the neck 7 of the bottle 1.
  • the projection or tooth 11 is an integral part of the ring 2, is positioned as a longitudinal section of the capsule 3, in the centre of the ring 2 (the section was produced as an integral part of the ring).
