Definitions

  • This invention covers a safety plug obtained by a cap externally fitted on top of a normal plug.
  • This invention has the aim to eliminate all the above drawbacks and to provide a cap to be mounted on a normal plug , transforming it automatically from normal into a "childproof" safety cap.
  • this normal plug as herein described is provided with external peripheral vertical grooves and with an external peripheral swell at its lower end featuring tearable shanks connected to the security ring.
  • This normal plug is fitted, according to this invention, on all containers whether or not they are holding harmless or poisonous or noxious products. However, if the product is harmful or poisonous, the normal plug is covered by a cap which transforms the normal plug into a safety cap.
  • this safety cap is cylindrical with an internal lower swell.
  • the crown of the cap has the shape of a thin, elastic deformable wall, so that an internal central pin can perform an axial upward and downward movement with respect to the cap. Numerous peripheral catches inside the crown of the cap are shaped to penetrate into and exit axially from the external grooves of the plug.
  • the cap in question is applied in a simple and immediate way by pressing it axially down on the plug until its internal peripheral lower swell meshes with the lower pheripheral external groove in the plug and the central pin in the cap crown rests on the central outer surface of the plug.
  • the crown of the cap will then be in its elastic rest position forming a slightly concave upside-down cone and the peripheral catches in the cap crown are raised with respect to the external grooves in the plug. Therefore rotation of the cap will not act on the plug which won't move.
  • the normal plug as illustrated in the Figures 1 and 2 consists of the cylindrical body 1 crowned by an upper closing element 2; the plug 1,2 is internally featuring anular shapes 3 sealing the pourout of the bottle 4 and a thread 5 to be screwed and unscrewed on the marching external thread on the bottle neck 4.
  • the lower edge of the plug 1 features an external anular swell 6 provided with tearable shanks 7 connected to the securing ring 8 which, in turn, features an internal anular swell or peripheral teeth 9 blocking the plug by meshing with a matching anular swell on the outside of the container neck 4.
  • the body 1 of the plug externally features properly and peripherally spaced vertical grooves 10 over its whole circumference or on opposed sectors.
  • This normal plug 1, 2 is fitted on the outpour of the container 4, meshing with the swell or teeth 9 of the security ring 8 on the matching external swell on the container neck 4.
  • the plug 1,2 is unscrewed while the shanks 7 are torn away and the security ring is removed from the plug.
  • anyone, even children can open and close the plug and there will be no problems as long as the liquid is harmless or the bottle is placed out of children's reach.
  • a "childproof" safety cap is required if the contents is harmful or poisonous to prevent children or other incompetent persons from opening the vessel.
  • the normal plug may be transformed into a safety stopper by applying a special cap to be fitted on top of the normal plug.
  • this cap features a cylindrical body 11 having an inside diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of the body 1 of the plug and terminating at its lower end by an internal anular swell 12. Furthermore, the cap 11 features a deformable thin walled crown 13 having at its center a protruding pin 14. The presence of an anular recess 16 in the peripheral zone of the crown as shown in fig. 7 will be preferable in order to facilitate the deformation of the crown 13.
  • the cap 11 is fitted on top of the plug 1,2 by applying it axially until the internal anular swell 12 snaps over the external anular swell 6 of the plug thus blocking the plug; in this way, the pin 14 inside the deformable crown 13 will rest on the center of the outer closing surface 2 of the plug.
  • the crown 13 of the cap will take a rest position forming an upside-down cone as shown in the figures 3 and 5.
  • the internal periphery of the crown 13 features numerous raised catches 15 of limited height shaped to penetrate the external grooves 10 in the plug body 1.
  • the cap 11 when the cap is pressed down axially as shown by the arrow F in fig.6, the cap 11 is lowered until it counteracts the elastic action of the crown 13 which will flatten out and the catches 15 will penetrate the grooves 10 so that the cap and plug will rotate together and thus permit to open and close the container 4 by acting on the cap.
  • the crown 13 When the axial pressure F is no longer applied, the crown 13 will return elastically to its upside-down cone shaped position so that the catches 15 will snap out of the grooves 10 and the plug is again "childproof".
  • the central pin 14 inside the crown 13 of the cap 11 applied on top of the plug is particularly important since it ensures a uniform elastic deformation of the whole cap crown during the axial movement of the cap with respect to the plug.
