Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for material security of a bottle, in particular of a bottle of wine or spirits.
- Fraud consists in reusing bottles that have contained such luxury products and in introducing a wine or a spirit of ordinary quality and then in marketing such bottles at the luxury price.
- the capsule can indeed be removed carefully without being cut.
- the present invention consists of a suitable device for physically securing a bottle. This device is simple, can be set up quickly, including on already conditioned bottles. This device is described with reference to the appended drawing in which the various figures represent a preferred, non-limiting embodiment, and more particularly there are:
- FIG. 1 a perspective view of a bottle r v t the material securing device
- a bottle 10 of wine has a label 12 and it is closed by a stopper
- the head of the bottle receives a capsule 16.
- the label bears the imprint as well as references to sources, verbal name and / or figurative. It may already include security signs such as those indicated above.
- the stopper itself can also include a bar code previously printed, but it is difficult to apply more elaborate security signs to it, given the surface condition of these stoppers and the mechanical stresses to which it is subjected.
- the capsule 16 is decorative because it masks the possible colorings of the peripheral face of the cork by traces of wine, wine which could have oozed out and caused mold, in a known and natural way in the field of wine.
- This capsule also optionally bears a reminder of the motifs or mentions on the label.
- This capsule also has a role in relation to the state and more particularly fiscal authorities because it carries the official mention according to which the taxes due have been paid.
- This capsule thus carries the corresponding official patch 18 which must be visible.
- the device according to the invention consists in providing an over-cap 20 which covers the capsule 16.
- This over-cap is particular because it is made of a heat-shrinkable material.
- Such a material generally shrinks under the effect of a hot breath and crosslinks in the retracted form without the possibility of reversibility.
- the selected material is advantageously transparent to allow the capsule to be seen under the overcap and not to aesthetically disturb the bottle.
- This overcap includes at least one sign 22 of security.
- This sign of security can be chosen from micro-writing, indications that are invisible to natural light and that can only be read under special lighting, combinations of bar codes or even metallic borders with a particular alloy composition that only respond to a given frequency or holograms of particular manufacture.
- this at least one security sign is positioned in the lower part of the overcap.
- the destructible upper part 24 when the destructible upper part 24 is removed, access to the capsule 16 is possible.
- the over-cap can be cut and the cap removed as for the bottles of the prior art, without over-cap 20.
- the securing sign 22 worn on the ring is identical to that which is worn by the label.
- the owner of the bottle or the purchaser who wishes a complementary control can ensure the identity of the two signs.
- the destructible upper part 26 can also carry a bar code, either for inventory management or for a comparison with that carried by the cap for example.
- a flow of hot air is applied in the step of FIG. 2B to cause the retraction of the overcap, a phase which is almost instantaneous.
- this flow of an extremely limited duration which does not in any way disturb the quality of the wine contained.
- the overcap then comes to be pressed onto the capsule, perfectly matching the shape.
- the bottle is equipped with its overcap and lets appear, by transparency, all the information carried by the capsule.
- the security sign 22 is also visually accessible.
- the overcaps can be placed on the bottling and labeling line or on a chain for taking up already conditioned bottles.
