Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety closure device for bottles and the like, provided with tamper optical indicator, capable of providing an indication to a user as regards the previous tamper or removal of said bottle closure device.
  • Optical indicators are well known to satisfy this need, which act as control means to assess whether a container is in the originally closed condition or it has already been opened and/or fraudulently tampered.
  • US patent 4,480,760 provides for a container closing disk whose upper surface is provided with several microcapsules capable of providing an indication as to the opening and/or tampering. Such microcapsules are broken when said disk is detached from the container.
  • optical indicators thus allow control both from the hygienic and from the preservation point of view, for example as in the case of food or fluids.
  • closure devices provided with optical indicators require particular sequences of operations, not easily implementable by the user, to allow access to the container content once such closure devices have been actuated.
  • purpose of the present invention is to realise a closure device provided with an indicator which should change appearance upon the first opening without expensive additional operations for installation, so that a user may be certain of the opening and/or tampering of the same closure device.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to incorporate an indicator in a closure device, which should change its appearance upon the first opening.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the first opening of the closure device.
  • a safety closure device for fluid containers, especially bottles of liquor and the like according to claim 1.
  • reference numeral 1 globally indicates a safety closure device for bottles of liquor 2 and the like.
  • Device 1 comprises a cap 4 exhibiting a shell 5, a sleeve 6, and a safety seal 7 connected to shell 5 through a weakening line 8.
  • Bottle 2 exhibits an opening 9 delimited by a neck 10, with an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12.
  • Cap 4 exhibits an inner surface 13 and shell 5 consists of a hollow cylinder extending from said inner surface 13 of cap 4 along an axis X - X perpendicular to the plane of the same cap 4 for a predetermined length towards a free end 14.
  • the inner surface 13 of cap 4 is a bottom 13 substantially shaped as a flat disk, where shell 5 exhibits an inner surface 15 extending along axis X - X up to the level of the free end 14.
  • shell 5 exhibits support means 16 comprising a projection facing axis X - X, such projection being, for example, a shoulder.
  • Such support means or shoulder 16 preferably consist of a step-wise profile of the inner surface 15 of shell 5, obtained in such way as to create a rise 17 substantially perpendicular to the inner surface 15 of the same shell.
  • Such changing means 18 consists, for example, of a suitably treated felt shaped as a toroid, whereas such breakable containers 19 are, for example, a container, shaped as toroid as well, containing a fluid.
  • cap 4 exhibits a transparent surface 20 in the cap 4 portion of shell 5.
  • Such transparent surface 20, for example, is at felt 18.
  • the shoulder supports a container shaped as microcapsule 19, containing a fluid as well.
  • cap 4 exhibits a transparent surface 21 in the head portion of cap 4. Also such transparent surface 21 is at the changing means 18.
  • a lock 23 is also to be noted, which is stiffly connected to the inner surface 15 of shell 5 through a portion of contact surface 24.
  • Lock 23 exhibits a collar 25 extending in parallel with axis X - X of cap 4 towards the body of bottle 2, and integrally engages with the inner surface 12 of neck 10 of the same bottle.
  • such shell 5 exhibits an annular rib sector or thread 26 adapted to engage with a corresponding groove 27 of sleeve 6.
  • Sleeve 6 which is constrained to neck 10 of bottle 2 according to known techniques to an expert of the art, has a substantially cylindrical or tubular shape, exhibits an axis coinciding with axis X - X of cap 4, and in its outer surface is provided with an upper edge 28 and with a thread 29, such thread 29 consisting of at least one pair of cams 30 and 31.
  • the upper edge 28 forms an upper flanged surface which extends substantially perpendicular to axis X - X towards the exterior of sleeve 6.
  • edge 28 is an integral part of a cam 32 that extends for a predetermined length onto said sleeve 6.
  • cam 32 for example, exhibits a first portion that is substantially rectilinear or flat 33, a second portion 34 that is substantially ascending or cutting, and finally a third portion 35 that is substantially rectilinear or flat.
  • Such configuration of cam 32 is advantageous in view of what described hereinafter.
  • Cam 31 whose length is predetermined during design, is adapted to engage screw-wise on the inner surface 15 of shell 5 of cap 4, and it exhibits, for example, a first portion 36 that is substantially rectilinear or flat, and a second portion 38bis that is substantially ascending or cutting, like cam 30, which also contributes to engaging screw-wise on the inner surface 15 of shell 5 of cap 4; in fact, such cam 30 exhibits a first portion that is substantially rectilinear or flat 37, and a second portion 38 that is substantially ascending or cutting.
  • cams 31 and 30 are advantageous in view of what described hereinafter.
  • the upper edge 28 acts as support base for a bar-shaped projection 39.
  • the disk member 40 thus exhibits at least one pair of bar-shaped projections 39.
  • the disk member 40 is provided with a predetermined thickness provided during design, so as to form an upper surface 41 and a lower surface 42.
  • Projection 39 is part of the lower surface 42.
  • the disk member 40 on the upper surface 41 is also provided with another projection 43 extending in parallel with axis X - X of cap 4 towards bottom 13 of said cap 4.
  • the position of the disk member 40 is especially important.
  • such disk member 40 is arranged in the upper portion of said lock 23.
  • projection 43 wedges in a special seat 44 obtained in rise 17 and such projection 43 extends up to lapping the toroid-shaped containers 19.
  • projection 43 extends up to lapping said breakable container means 19 shaped as microcapsule without passing through any seat.
  • FIG. 4 a perspective top and bottom view of the disk member 40 of the first embodiment can be seen, respectively, that is, of the embodiment shown in figures 1 - 2.
  • bar-shaped projections 39 of the lower surface 42 are less than projections 43 of the upper surface 41. This is because a single pair of bar-shaped projections 39 is sufficient to obtain the desired purpose.
  • projections 43 of surface 41 are perforating members having such cone shape as to allow breaking container 19, but they could also be means having such shape as to allow breaking container means 19 through a squashing action.
  • container means 19 may be glass wafers.
  • projections 43 are perforating members having such cone shape as to allow breaking container 19, but they could also be members having such shape as to allow breaking container means 19 through a squashing action.
  • the safety closure device 1 is assembled to form a whole that can be singly handled so as to be pressure-applied onto said neck 10 until it is engaged snap-wise onto the same neck of bottle 2.
  • the bar-shaped projection 39 which acts as coupling means between profile 32 and disk member 40, follows the rectilinear or flat portion 33 of cam 32, since it is stiffly axially connected to the inner surface 15 of shell 5 of cap 4.
  • the thread portion (or rib) 26 of shell 5 follows groove 27, consisting of cams 31 and 30 for the rectilinear portion of the same, that is, portion 36 of cam 31 and portion 37 of cam 30 respectively.
  • safety seal 7 is stiffly connected to the end portion of sleeve 6, preventing the seal from rotating through suitable connection means 7a.
  • the disk member 40 with projections 43 of the upper surface 41 and the bar-shaped projections 39 of the lower surface 42 remain removably inserted in the positions shown in figures 2 and 6, that is, in the so-called use position.
  • Shell 5 of cap 4 exhibits support means 46 comprising a projection facing axis X - X, such projection being a shoulder.
  • Such support means or shoulder 46 preferably consist of a step-wise profile of the inner surface of shell 5, obtained in such way as to create a rise 47 which is substantially perpendicular to the inner surface 15 of the same shell.
  • Such rise 47 acts as support for a profile or thread 48 of the pouring member 45.
  • Such profile 48 for example, exhibits a first substantially rectilinear or flat portion 49, a second substantially ascending portion 50.
  • cap 4 exhibits a transparent surface 21 in the head portion of cap 4. Such transparent surface 21 is at the changing means 18.
  • the pouring member 45 substantially having a cylindrical or tubular shape, exhibits an axis coinciding with axis X - X of cap 4 and since it is provided, in its outside portion, of threading 48, it engages screw-wise on the inner surface 15 of shell 5 of cap 4.
  • this embodiment exhibits coupling means 50 arranged between lock 23 and disk member 40.
  • this coupling means 50 consists of cams obtained on the lower surface 42 of said disk member 40.
  • said cams 50 exhibit a flat portion 51 and a cutting portion 52, whose purpose of illustrated hereinafter.
  • lock 23 rotates pulled by cap 4, since it is stiffly connected to the inside surface 15 of shell 5 through the contact portion 24, whereas the disk member 40 is held still by the central grooved peduncle 53.
  • the disk member 40 remains still both angularly and axially until the ascending profile 52 of cams 50 is engaged.
  • cap 4 is provided with a transparent head surface 21, the user can immediately see whether cap 4 has been opened and/or tampered.
  • all of the above embodiments also provide for the breakable container means 19 to contain substances rather than a fluid, that can be activated by the gaseous elements present in the atmosphere.
  • this solution allows eliminating the changing means 18, with a consequent cost and production time saving.
  • Such substance can be a gel or salt grains that change their chromatic appearance when in contact with the air.
