Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a screw cap with safety ring of improved reliability.
  • closing devices equipped with safety elements which prevent a fraudulent refilling or removal of the product enclosed in the container have been achieved.
  • the container is provided with a dispensing mouth serving as a conveyor element.
  • the dispensing mouth externally threaded, is closed with a closing device such as a covering screw cap.
  • the cap is connected to one its lower parts by frangible bridge elements, whose integrity is a guarantee that the package has not been opened: for this reason such lower part is called a safety ring.
  • the screw caps are generally produced in a moulding plant and are subsequently transported to another plant where the filling and closing of the containers actually takes place.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and in particular to make a screw cap with safety ring of improved reliability that minimises the possibility of inopportunely breaking bridge elements, either during the transport stage or during the assembly of the cap on the container.
  • Another object of the present invention is to make a screw cap with safety ring of improved reliability that may be easily assembled on the container.
  • a further object of the present invention is to make a particularly simple and functional screw cap with safety ring of improved reliability, also with relatively-contained moulding costs.
  • the safety ring 12 of substantially cylindrical crown shape, is set in place below the screw tap 10 itself and its upper end is precisely connected to a lower end of screw cap 10 itself by way of frangible bridge elements 14.
  • the screw cap 10 is clearly internally provided with a threading 16 and has at least one dragging tooth 18 lower down: generally they are more than one, preferably distributed in a uniform manner along the circumference.
  • recesses 20 are provided on the upper part of the safety ring 12 for the teeth 18 themselves.
  • the dragging teeth 18 have a slanted side 22, with respect to the axis of cap 10, while the other side 24 is substantially parallel to the axis of cap 10.
  • the recesses 20 have a slanted side 23, with respect to the axis of the cap 10 with a slope approximately equal to that of the slanted side 22 of the dragging teeth 18, while the other side 25 is substantially parallel to the axis of cap 10.
  • the dimensions of the recesses 20 are larger than those of the dragging teeth 18, such that when the cap 10 is made, connected with the safety ring 12 by the bridge elements 14, there exists a clearance between the dragging teeth 18 and the grooves 20.
  • a spacing element 26 is also provided below the cap 10, or above the safety ring 12. Generally such spacing elements 26 are uniformly distributed along the circumference.
  • the safety ring 12 is provided with, at an internal lower end, with an annular appendage 30.
  • the appendage 30 has a frustoconical shape with lower, broader base, such broader base joined to the lower end of the safety ring's cylindrical crown.
  • the slope of the appendage 30 side surfaces with respect to the safety ring 12 axis is low, such that the recesses 20 of the safety ring 12 are located a short radial distance from the external side surface of the appendage 30, the height of the frustocone of the appendage 30 being approximately equal to that of the cylindrical crown of the ring 12.
  • bridge elements 14 connect the cap 10 to an upper end of the cylindrical crown of the safety ring 12 and are preferably distributed in a uniform manner along the circumference.
  • the above-described shape of the safety ring 12 allows the production, for example using a mould provided with internal movement, of a screw cap 10 connected only through the frangible bridge elements 14. In fact, the dragging teeth 18 remain disjoined both from the cylindrical crown of the safety ring 12 and the appendage 30.
  • the screw cap 10 is produced by plastics moulding.
  • connection elements 14 between cap 10 and the cylindrical crown of the safety ring 12 are able to quite sufficiently resist axial and radial stress.
  • the spacing elements 26 prevent an excessive approach between cap 10 and the cylindrical crown of the safety ring 12, precisely where these spacing elements 26 are formed: in this manner there is a very limited risk of some bridge element 14 breaking.
  • the appendage 30 of the safety ring 12, joining with the dragging teeth 18 of the cap 10, prevents an excessive movement in the transverse sense between cap 10 and safety ring 12: in this manner there is a very limited risk of some bridge element 14 breaking.
  • this important result is obtained when an internal surface of the dragging tooth 18 comes into contact with an area of the external side surface of the appendage 30, preventing that such movement is that which causes the breaking of some bridge element 14.
  • the dragging teeth 18 have as objective, when the cap 10 is opened by rotation, to separate in the most uniform manner possible the safety ring 12 from the cap 10, in consequence breaking the bridge elements 14. This is achieved by their slanted side 22 which during the rotation slides over slanted sides 23 of the grooves 20 of the safety ring 12.
