Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like.
  • plastic stopper do not crumble and do not generate dust that can fall into the liquid, cannot be attacked by molds or bacteria, and offer an excellent and durable barrier to oxygen, preserving over time the organoleptic particularities of the liquid that is present inside the container (which can be for example a bottle but also a jug, an oil cruet, and the like).
  • One currently known type of plastic stopper for bottles is constituted by a plugging stem that is suitable to be forced into the neck of the bottle.
  • Such stem is provided with a head that is suitable to abut against the rim of the mouth of the neck of the bottle.
  • Said plugs can be reused, since they can in any case be removed easily and can be forced manually so as to close the bottle.
  • a drip-stop ring a very thin metallic lamina that can be rolled up and inserted in the neck of the bottle so as to form a spout
  • a drip-stop stopper a very thin metallic lamina that can be rolled up and inserted in the neck of the bottle so as to form a spout
  • a drip-stop stopper a very thin metallic lamina that can be rolled up and inserted in the neck of the bottle so as to form a spout
  • a drip-stop stopper a very thin metallic lamina that can be rolled up and inserted in the neck of the bottle so as to form a spout
  • Such drip-stop closure is generally constituted by a tubular stem, which is frustum-shaped and made of cork or substantially cylindrical and made of plastics, with annular ridges that interfere for insertion in the neck of the bottle.
  • a drip-stop spout protrudes from the tubular stem, which is provided or not with a head that is suitable to abut against the mouth of the bottle; such spout is generally made of metallic material and in turn can be closed by means of an additional complementarily shaped stopper made of cork or other material.
  • a drip-stop stopper as described above is in any case an accessory to be purchased separately and to be applied to the bottle only after it has been uncorked.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like that combines the stopper function with the drip-stop pourer function.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a closure that is made of plastics.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure that cannot be attacked by molds or bacteria and offers a barrier to oxygen whose quality is not lower than that of known types of stopper.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure that can be applied easily to the neck of a bottle with known types of stopper fitting apparatus.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure that can be closed again and reused even on other identical containers of liquids.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure that can be customized both in terms of colors and in terms of ornamental, decorative and distinctive markings.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like that can be manufactured cheaply with known systems and technologies.
  • a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like of the type constituted by a tubular pouring stem, which is suitable to engage by interference inside the mouth portion of the neck of a bottle and is provided with an abutment flange that is suitable to abut against the rim of said mouth, and by a stopper for said pouring stem, said closure being characterized in that said tubular pouring stem is substantially cylindrical and its thickness decreases continuously from the inside outward at at least part of its pouring mouth so as to form a drip-stop spout.
  • a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the closure 10 is constituted by a tubular pouring stem 11, which is suitable to engage by interference inside the mouth portion 12 of the neck 13 of a bottle 14.
  • the stem 11 is provided with an abutment flange 15, which is suitable to abut against the rim 16 of the mouth 12.
  • the closure 10 is further constituted by a stopper 17 for the pouring stem 11.
  • the closure 10 is characterized in that the tubular pouring stem 11 is substantially cylindrical.
  • the thickness of the tubular stem 11 tapers continuously from the inside outward at its pouring mouth 18.
  • This tapering forms a drip-stop rim 19 on the pouring mouth 18.
  • the stopper 17 is of the mushroom-shaped type and is formed by a plugging insert 20, which is suitable to be inserted with interference in the tubular pouring stem 11 in order to close it hermetically.
  • the insert 20 is rigidly coupled to a head 21 that is suitable to abut against the pouring mouth 18.
  • the head 21 is provided with a side wall 24, whose height is such as to affect the stem 11, in the configuration in which the stopper 17 is closed on the stem 11 (as shown in Figure 1), so as to reach below the flange 15.
  • the side wall 24 is substantially cylindrical and its diameter is such that it is suitable to rest, with its free edge 25, on the collar 26 that surrounds the end of the neck 13 of the bottle 14, which in the example described here is of the Bordolese type.
  • the stem 11 is obtained by molding plastics, such as for example thermoplastic mixtures composed of SEBS (styrene ethylene butylene styrene) or SEPS (styrene ethylene propylene styrene), with the addition of polyethylene, and with the addition of expanding agents.
  • plastics such as for example thermoplastic mixtures composed of SEBS (styrene ethylene butylene styrene) or SEPS (styrene ethylene propylene styrene), with the addition of polyethylene, and with the addition of expanding agents.
  • the stopper 17 also is obtained by molding styrene or polyolefin plastic material, which is generally more rigid than the plastic material of which the stem 11 is made.
  • the closure 10 according to the invention can be applied with a standard applicator for mushroom-shaped stoppers.
  • the closure 10 is applied to the bottle 14 in the assembled condition of its two components, the stem 11 and the stopper 17.
  • the user is able to close manually the stopper 17 in the stem 11, simply by pushing the stopper 17 in the stem 11, which by virtue of the flange 15 is not drawn completely into the neck 13.
  • the user can easily extract the stem 11 from the neck 13 and optionally apply it to another identical bottle.
  • the stem 11 provides the drip-stop rim with which it is provided, without having to add to the bottle additional drip-stop accessories, such as said ring, pouring stopper with spout, or "drop stop".
  • the head 21 is made of plastics allows to vary its color during production entirely at the buyer's choice, while the seat 23 allows extensive personalization in terms of ornamental, decorative or distinctive markings.
  • the present invention provides a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like that combines the stopper function with the drip-stop pourer function.
  • the present invention provides a closure made of plastics.
  • the present invention provides a closure that cannot be attacked by molds or bacteria and offers a barrier to oxygen whose quality is not lower than that of known types of stopper.
  • the present invention provides a closure that can be applied easily to the neck of a bottle with known types of stopper-fitting equipment.
  • the present invention provides a closure that can be reclosed and reused even on other identical containers of liquids.
  • the present invention provides a closure that can be customized in terms of colors and in terms of ornamental, decorative and distinctive markings.
  • the present invention provides a closure for containers of liquids such as bottles and the like that can be manufactured cheaply with known systems and technologies.
  • the materials employed may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
