Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closing device with a seal for a container equipped with an opening.
- devices have been produced aimed at providing security closure devices, to prevent unauthorised filling or removal of the product from the container, while making them easy to open for immediate use of the product, even by children.
- the device must be designed so that, as well as closing the container, it must also ensure hermetic sealing until the product has been used completely, or, in the case where the container is refilled on other occasions, sealing must be ensured for the total period the container is used.
- the container is equipped with a distributor orifice to convey the liquid directly out from the container towards the drinker's mouth, in the case where the product is a beverage or other type of alimentary fluid.
- these distribution orifices are generally covered and closed again using a waterproof membrane, such as aluminium, that may be welded or not, and that must be perforated in a suitable manner at the moment it is opened in order to prevent undesired soiling by the user during use.
- a waterproof membrane such as aluminium
- This hermetic membrane is also designed to make the container tamper-proof, informing the user who opens the membrane that this is the first time it has been opened after manufacturing in the plant.
- the distributor orifice on containers that contain food sauces such as tomato sauce, ketchup, and other types of fluid products, is produced with an external thread, it is sealed with an aluminium membrane, then closed using a screw cap.
- the cap is connected to its lower section by breakable bridging elements that act as a further guarantee that the container has never been opened.
- the intact container needs to be opened by unscrewing the cap on the orifice of the container.
- the membrane in aluminium for example
- the membrane that is equipped with a pulling tag is removed to permit the pouring of the product.
- the container can be closed by simply rescrewing the cap back on the threaded distribution orifice.
- the means of motion are generally composed of cams and surfaces that collaborate together and that are positioned between the two parts. In any case this system partially cuts the closure of the membrane or layered material on the container using toothed or similar perforating elements.
- the membrane and/or the container wall is cut around a considerable portion of the circumference, similar to that of the tubular distribution orifice to provide a reasonably large opening, but not big enough to permit the portion of partially separated materials to fall into the product inside the container.
- This orifice can be easily produced for plastic or glass containers by blow-moulding action.
- the container is made from some other material such as plasticated cardboard, tinned strips or metal materials in general, the distribution orifice will need to be produced in a much more complex manner, with the need for connecting various different elements.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the above problems of the prior art, and in particular, to produce a closing device with a seal for containers equipped with an opening, where this opening is not designed to act as the distributor orifice of the container, but is simply composed of a hole perforated on the external envelope of the container.
- Another object of the present invention is to provede a closing device with a seal for containers equipped with an opening that can be easily produced by moulding.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a closing device with a seal for containers equipped with an opening that permits rapid assembly during product packaging in the plant, with a simple closing system once the container has been filled with the product.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a closing device with a seal for containers equipped with an opening that can offer the user a guarantee against any possible tampering with the product contained in the container.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a closing device with a seal for containers equipped with an opening, that is particularly reliable, simple, functional, with contained manufacturing costs.
- the closing device is shown with numerals 10 for a container, 12, equipped with an opening 14.
- device 10 is manufactured by moulding in a single piece, that can however, be distinguished as having three different components, connected together by two series of breakable bridging elements around their circumferences.
- a bottom of a circular cap 20 is connected to a top of a safety ring 30, comprising a series of bridging elements 50 arranged preferably according to a circumference.
- a bottom of the safety ring 30 is connected to the top of a distribution orifice 40, through a series of sealing bridge elements 55 around the circumference.
- the circular cap 20 has a cylindrical structure, closed at the top, while at the bottom, it has a circular rim 22.
- the external face of the cap is threaded 24, for a portion of the total height of the cap 20.
- cap 20 On cap 20, near the upper closure where there is no threaded surface 24, there is a channel or recess around the external circumference 26.
- this channel 26 presents a series of undercuts 28, of rectangular shape for example, around the circumference.
- the safety ring 30 has a cylindrical structure open at both ends.
- circumferencial projection 32 near the upper rim of the ring 30 on the inside.
- This projection 32 presents a series of ridges 34, rectangular in shape for example, around the circumference facing inwards from ring 30.
- ridges 34 extend into the bridge elements 50 that connect ring 30 to the circular rim 22 of cap 20, in a perpendicular direction to the axis of device 10.
- the distribution orifice 40 also has a cylindrical structure. At the top it presents a circular distribution rim 42, and at the bottom is an extension that forms a circular lip support plate 44 that is applied to container 12, in a direction perpendicular to the axis.
- the orifice 40 is threaded 46, on a side of its inside surface for a portion of its total height.
- the circular rim 42 of the orifice 40 presents the sealing bridge elements 55 that permit the connection of orifice 40 to a lower circular rim 36 of ring 30, in a direction parallel to the axis of device 10.
- the undercuts 28 of cap 20 are generally an even number in total and are arranged in a regular manner along the circumference channel 28 so that each pair of undercuts 28 is perfectly opposite one another.
- the ridges 34 on the projection 32 are also generally an even number in total and are arranged in a regular manner along the circumferencial projection 32 so that each pair of ridges 34 is perfectly opposite one another.
- the ridges 34 can total the same number as the undercuts 28.
- the function of the closing device 10 according to the invention is fundamentally the following:
- the sealing action is produced by the sealing elements 55 between ring 30 and orifice 40 that bear the axial pressure applied for breaking the bridge elements 50 during the insertion stage of cap 20 into ring 30 and the orifice 40, as described previously.
- the sealing elements 55 are broken the first time the container 12 is used when the unit composed of cap 20 and ring 30 is rotated; in this manner, threads 24 and 46 are freed (unscrewed) as shown in figure 6.
- the container 12 can also be closed by fixing the lip plate 44 around the opening 14 of the container 12, after device 10 has been previously assembled separately, however the procedure must be identical with the application of axial pressure on cap 20.
- FIG. 7 shows a further possible embodiment for practical application of this invention, where the same elements and/or equivalent elements to those illustrated in figures 1 to 6 bear the same reference numbers increased by 100.
- Device 110 differs from device 10 only in the shape of the distribution orifice 140.
- an extension is foreseen in the axial direction to form a ring 148.
- an indentation 149 is channelled around the circumference.
- This indentation 149 is used to house the border of the opening 114 of container 112, after device 110 is click-inserted from the exterior of container 112, until it forces the circular plate 144 down to make contact with the external surface of container 112.
- Figure 8 shows a third possible embodiment for practical application of this invention, where the same components and/or equivalent components to those illustrated in figures 1 to 6 bear the same reference numbers, increased by 200
- Device 210 differs from device 10 and device 110 only in the shape of the distribution orifice 240.
- the device 210 is inserted from inside the container 212 until the circular plate 244 is placed in contact around the opening 214 of container 212. This is fixed to the surface by welding or gluing.
