Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a plug to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container.
- In the field of dispensing of drinks and other liquid products contained in containers, such as drinks with vitamin supplements or water with additives in general, plugs are foreseen that comprise a protective cap that can be closed with respect to a base collar.
- These plugs are generally arranged on a container in which there is a need to have both an open and closed position and in which the closed position must occur a certain number of times. Moreover, it must be possible to check extremely quickly and simply whether the container is unopened or whether it has already been opened.
- Therefore, first of all there is the need to foresee a protective cap of the extremely simple "open and close" type and also that stays in closed position with a certain degree of security.
- Known examples of such plugs to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap have already been made, but have a very complex construction and a certain number of constituent parts. The presence of more than two parts consequently involves assembly costs and the need to have many moulds with a further increase in costs.
- It must also be indicated that plugs to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap currently exist that have simply just the possibility of checking that the entire plug is arranged without tampering on the neck of the container. On the other hand, there is a requirement to be able to make a plug equipped with a cap that foresees the possibility of checking both that such tampering has not occurred and that the protective cap has not been opened from the base collar to which such a cap is fixedly attached and articulated.
- The purpose of the present invention is therefore that of identifying a different solution to the technical problems quoted above.
- Another purpose of the invention is that of making a plug to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap that is able to highlight both types of tampering indicated above.
- A further purpose of the invention is that of making a plug that is easy to make and not very expensive, as well as particularly simple, to use and operate.
- These purposes according to the present invention are accomplished by making a plug to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap, as outlined in the attached
claim 1. - Further relevant characteristics and details of the present invention are the object of the dependent claims.
- The characteristics and advantages of a plug to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap according to the present invention shall become clearer from the following description, given as an example and not for limiting purposes, of an embodiment with reference to the attached figures, in which:
- Figure 1 is a top section of a plug of the type with an open and closable protective cap according to the present invention applied to a container.
- Figures 2 and 3 are different perspective views of the plug of figure 1.
- Figure 4 is a plan view from above of the plug of figure 1.
- Figure 5 is a top side view, partially in section, of a second embodiment of the plug according to the invention.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of the plug of figure 5.
-
- With reference generically to the various figures, a plug to be screwed onto a screw neck of a container of the type with an open and closable protective cap is shown in a totally schematic way, wholly indicated with 11.
- The
plug 11, to be screwed onto ascrew neck 12 of an opening of a container (not shown), comprises a reclosableprotective cap 13 having a smaller diameter with respect to abase collar 14. - The
base collar 14 is made with a section in steps and in afirst step portion 14a, with a greater diameter, it is arranged on thescrew neck 12 of the container. - The
protective cap 13 and thebase collar 14 are connected together through a hinge element consisting of astrip 16. As shown in the figures, such astrip 16 also foresees a pair of weakeninglines 17 that promote the folding of theprotective cap 13 with respect to thebase collar 14 in the opening step. Indeed, the presence of such weakeninglines 17 allows the cap to be held open at 180° with respect to the attachment area promoting the dispensing of the liquid into the mouth of the user. Moreover, theprotective cap 13 and thebase collar 14 are connected together through a series of freely breakable elements, such astabs 18. - It must then be noted that the
plug 11 comprises apouring element 19 inside it that is snap-inserted in thebase collar 14. In particular, it foresees a lower inner end that is arranged in abutment in aperimetric cavity 20 of afirst step portion 14a of thebase collar 14. In particular, said lower inner end comprises a pair ofconcentric sealing lips perimetric cavity 20 of thebase collar 14 at thefirst step portion 14a and the most inner 22 of these lips is arranged in aninner mouth 23 of the container and, for example, is olive-shaped to carry out an improved seal. - The
pouring element 19 also foresees, at an outer end, apouring opening 24 that goes into sealing engagement with a concentricdouble lip protective cap 13. It should be noted that the first annular lip with asmaller diameter 25 is longer than the second annular lip with agreater diameter 26 and also thefirst lip 25 is sealably arranged inside thepouring element 19 and thesecond lip 26 being sealably arranged outside thepouring element 19. - Moreover, in an intermediate portion the
pouring element 19 through a circumferential projection thereof facing outwards 27 makes a circumferential seal with a circumferentialinner extension 28 of theprotective cap 13 that extends below asecond step portion 14b arranged at the top of thebase collar 14. - According to the invention, moreover, it must be noted that the
protective cap 13 and thebase collar 14 are moulded in a single piece in closed position, whereas thepouring element 19 is a separate piece from them. - It must also be noted that between the
first step portion 14a and thesecond step portion 14b of thebase collar 14 at least one further breakable element is foreseen, in the example defined by threefiliform elements 29. Thesefiliform elements 29 are connected on one side to theprotective cap 13 and on the other side to thefirst step portion 14a and they stretch and break in elongated position when theprotective cap 13 is first opened from thebase collar 14. - Moreover, the
base collar 14 in a lower free end thereof below an internally threadedportion 30 foresees a ring-shaped portion 31 that is separable since it is connected by a series of freely breakable elements, such astabs 32. - It should be noted that a series of
openings 10 can be foreseen, for example between the protective cap and the base collar, indicated with a dotted and dashed line in figure 3, which ease the removal of washing liquids avoiding the stagnation thereof inside. - Moreover, such a liquid can come out from the small openings present between the
tabs 18, from the openings present at the sides of thestrip 16 and finally at the sides and between thebreakable elements 29, 29'. - Figures 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the plug according to the invention in which the same elements are indicated with the same reference numerals.
- In this second embodiment a
thrusting area 33 is foreseen in the upper portion of theprotective cap 13 and the at least one further breakable element is defined by a small strip 29' that stretches and elongates like for the previous case. - The operation of such a plug according to the invention is extremely simple and easy.
- Upon the removal of the
protective cap 13, and the rotation thereof about thestrip 16 that acts as a hinge, thetabs 18 break. Moreover, the further breakable element defined either by one ormore filiform elements 29 or by a small strip 29' extend to breaking point. - The presence of the pair of weakening
lines 17 promotes the folding of theprotective cap 13 with respect to thebase collar 14 in the opening step keeping it in open position. - Once used, the
protective cap 13 can easily be repositioned above thepouring element 19 to close the pouring opening 24 with itslips - Moreover, the circumferential
inner extension 28 of theprotective cap 13 that extends below asecond step portion 14b arranged at the top of thebase collar 14 goes into abutment and in a seal with the circumferential projection facing towards the outside 27 of thepouring element 19 with circumferential seal. - Advantageously, a plug according to the present invention foresees the presence of an element that shows a user the first opening of the protective cap in a clear and unmistakable manner.
- It has thus been seen that a plug according to the present invention accomplished the purposes outlined previously.
- The plug is particularly simple in structure and does not require complicated arrangements of parts, being made in just two parts, the outer one of which is in a single piece.
- The plug of the invention thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variants, which are all covered by the same invention.
- Moreover, in practice, the materials used, as well as their sizes and the components, can be whatever according to the technical requirements.
