Definitions

  • caps for containers are commonly known and in particular caps fitted by screwing or snapped under pressure onto the mouth of the container itself and in this invention particular reference is made to caps made up of a body to be mounted by pressure on the container and a lid.
  • caps have certain inconveniences, the first of which is due to the sealing against tampering. Indeed, the sealing of such caps is normally carried out by means of a removable partition, which is connected to the pouring spout by means of a weakened line, in such way that the partition can be removed, after opening of the lid, by means of pulling on an eyelet connected to the partition itself. Removing this sealing partition, the pouring spout is freed and, once the lid is removed, one can pour the contents totally or partially, replacing the lid to protect the content remaining in the container.
  • This seal made up of a tearaway partition may create problems for the user since it must be removed with a manoeuvre of the fingers.
  • a further inconvenience of the known caps is due to the fact that the anti-bubble making function is created by thin plates, which extend toward the centre from the central body of the cap, and this solution does not satisfy the need for allowing a constant and homogeneous flow of the liquid coming out.
  • the cap according to this invention allows total elimination or great reduction of the aforesaid inconveniences.
  • the cap is made up of two elements and that is of a body to be mounted by pressure or snapping onto the mouth of the container and of a lid.
  • the seal is created by means of serrations envisaged upward on the lower outer part of the body of the cap, while corresponding counter-serrations are envisaged on the lower edge of a ring fixed with breakable peduncles to the lid.
  • This ring acts as a guarantee against tampering and is circular with a constant height or with different semi-circular heights or with variable sectors.
  • the anti-bubble making function is created by a bowl with a closed bottom, sustained centrally by means of radial or circular partitions, inside the body of the cap.
  • the bowl for anti-bubble making may be sustained on the inside of the body of the cap, by means of two cylindrical elements on a vertical axis, said cylindrical elements separated one from the other with opportune special openings of different width. Pouring the liquid through the opening with limited width, a limited quantity of liquid comes out, while if one pours the liquid through the opening with greater width, the liquid coming out will be greater. These differentiated pourings are obtained simply by turning the container and the relative cap upside down.
  • the cap may also function as a measuring device for a determined quantity of liquid.
  • a shell is envisaged with closed bottom and open top, on the bottom of which a cannula is grafted with the upper edge fitted with an external expansion ring.
  • the anti-bubble making bowl is formed with a pierced central bottom through which the cannula is forced in such way as to come out above said bowl.
  • a prominent circular ridge is envisaged, aimed at hooking itself onto the ring expansion of the cannula.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show respectively in side view and the central vertical cross-section, lid 1 fitted, in the lower zone, with a guarantee ring 2, 2' with different heights, connected to the lid itself by means of breakable peduncles 3.
  • This guarantee ring has on its lower part a serration 4.
  • a profile 5 is envisaged for sealing of the pouring spout of the cap and a thread 6 for mounting of the lid on the body of the cap.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 the body 7 of the cap is illustrated in a shape that is almost a hollow cylinder, which has in the upper central zone a pouring spout 8, with drip-stopping rim 9, inside which there is a bowl 10 with closed bottom with the function of anti-bubble making, sustained by radial beams 11.
  • a ring-shaped conformation is envisaged, inside which there is a ring groove 12, aimed at receiving by pressure the upper mouth of the container 13; this ring conformation has on its upper external part a serration 14 turned upwards, corresponding to the serration 4 of the lid 1.
  • a thread is envisaged corresponding to the thread 6 of the lid 1.
  • the cap After filling of the container 13 with the liquid, the cap is mounted on the container 13 through axial thrust so that the cap itself blocks by snap, through the ring groove 12 of joint on the mouth of the container itself.
  • the solution may also be envisaged where the guarantee ring 15 is of constant height, as shown in Figs. 5 and 10.
  • the guarantee ring 2, 2', 15 has in a suitable position, a transverse line of interruption 16 that divides the ring and the open extremities of the ring itself and connected with a breakable peduncle 17, in such way that with the opening by unscrewing of the lid 1 one can easily obtain the breakage of the guarantee ring, as per Figs. 8, 9 and 10.
  • Adoption of the guarantee ring with different heights, or with constant height, depends on the functionality and dimensions of the cap, as well as its preferred external aspect.
  • the vertical radial beams 11 of support and fixing for the anti-bubble forming bowl 10 may be substituted by two cylindrical sectors 18, 19 on a vertical axis that are divided from one another by two opposing slits 20, 21 of different dimensions, one larger and one smaller.
  • the cap described here is also used on the basis of a further solution, as a measuring device of liquid, as shown in the figures from 14 to 18, in which the parts shared with the previous solutions are indicated with the same reference numbers.
  • the lid 1 has, on the inside, a circular prominent ridge 22, while in Fig. 15, the body 7 of the cap has an anti-bubble forming bowl 23 fitted in the centre with a passing hole 24.
  • the guarantee ring 15 is shown as an example with constant height, but this ring may be substituted with the ring 2, 2' with different heights.
  • Fig. 16 shows the measuring device formed of a shell 25 with closed bottom and open top and formed of a vertical cannula 26 grafted onto the centre of the bottom of the shell and coming out towards the top until it arrives below the lid 1 of the cap.
  • a double external ring ridge 27 On the tip of said cannula 26, appears a double external ring ridge 27, which may be hooked up by the ring prominence 22 of the lid 1.
  • Said cannula 26 is forced inside the penetrating hole 24 of the bowl 23 and is held in place by means of its upper ring ridge 27.
  • the shell 25 fills with liquid, according to the flow indicated with the arrow R of Fig. 17, while when one unscrews the lid 1, the ring prominence 22 of the lid 1 acts on the external ridge 27 of the cannula 26 and provokes the raising of the shell 25 according to the arrow S of Fig. 18, until it rests with its upper edge 28 against the lower ring expansion 29 of the body 7.
  • the liquid of the shell in dosed quantity is separated from the remaining liquid in the container 13 and after having removed the lid, one can pour the dosed liquid according to the arrow T of Fig. 18. After pouring of the dosed quantity, one screws the lid 1 back on which causes the shell 25 to move down due to thrust on the cannula 27, in order to perform a new action of dosing.
