Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure for bottles, particularly for bottles containing wine.
  • Cork stoppers are generally used to close bottles of wine or other beverages, because cork provides several advantages over other materials such as, for example, metal. However, corks of good quality are very expensive and, in general, may alter the taste of the wine over time.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a bottle closure which overcomes the problems of the prior art.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a bottle closure which is economic, being made preferably of plastic.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a bottle closure which provides a reliable seal.
  • a further object is to provide a bottle closure which can be removed easily, for example with a conventional corkscrew.
  • a bottle closure particularly for bottles containing wine, characterized in that it comprises at least two coaxial tubular members which include a mutual grip means and a means for engaging a tool for removing the closure from a bottle.
  • the closure according to the invention can be applied to the neck 2 of a conventional bottle used to contain liquid substances, for example wine.
  • Closure 1 includes two preferably tubular members 3 and 4 arranged one outside the other.
  • the outer member 3 has a first lower tubular portion 5 whose diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the neck 2 of the bottle and which is connected, through an inclined wall 6, to a second tubular portion 7 whose diameter is slightly greater than the inside diameter of the neck 2 of the bottle and ends with an annular protrusion 8.
  • a cylindrical portion 9 is provided inside member 3 and includes radial fins 10 which are preferably uniformly spaced.
  • Continuous peripheral raised portions 11 are provided outside of the portion 7 of member 3. It is possible, advantageously, to provide studs or the like (not shown in the figures) inside the portion 7 at the raised portions 11, so as to increase the force on the raised portions when the two members are mutually associated. Alternatively, the studs may be provided on the cylindrical portion with the same function.
  • Tubular member 4 is arranged inside member 3, between portion 7 and the cylindrical portion 9, and also includes a first lower portion 13 which is connected to a second tubular portion 15, through an inclined wall 14.
  • the outside diameter of second tubular member 15 is, with good approximation, equal to the inside diameter of the portion 7 of member 3.
  • Member 4 is open in a downward region and is closed in an upward region by a wall 12.
  • Member 3 also includes at least one outer annular raised portion 16 at the portion 5.
  • Closure 1 is normally in the assembled condition, with the two members 3 and 4 that compose it arranged coaxially one inside the other, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the closure is normally applied automatically, but it may also be applied manually.
  • the closure 1, with the two members 3 and 4 partially assembled, is rested on the mouth of the bottle.
  • the tubular portion 7 of the member 3 enters the neck 2 of the bottle so as to form a hermetic seal, until the annular protrusion 8 abuts against the mouth of the bottle.
  • the seal is further improved by virtue of the peripheral raised portions 11 provided around the member 3.
  • the member 4 penetrates, with a tight interference fit, in the member 3 between portion 7 and the cylindrical portion 9, so as to ensure a perfect grip.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a closure applied to the neck of the bottle.
  • the closure according to the invention can advantageously be used to re-close the bottle if the contents have not been used entirely.
  • the raised portion 16 is advantageously provided for this purpose.
  • the bottle closure according to the invention may have numerous modifications and variations, all within the inventive concept; furthermore, all the details may be substituted with technically equivalent elements
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the specific needs and the state of the art.
