Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a synthetic stopper for glass bottles.
  • the invention relates to a synthetic stopper in a semi-expanded foam material for glass bottles of any shape whatsoever.
  • stoppers In order to minimize the consumption of natural cork, stoppers have been proposed with cork washers about 1 centimetre thick on the end in contact with the wine, and the rest of the stopper produced from a compound or agglomerate composed of cork shavings soaked in a resin matrix.
  • stoppers used for both mushroom shaped corks for champagne and similar wines, or in flat-topped form for still and sparkling wines, are composed of an agglomerate portion which is suited to the pressure of the carbon dioxide that counters the torsion action during uncorking and the compression of the cage in the case of mushroom shaped corks, and the corkscrew action in the case of flat-topped corks.
  • the lower part of the stopper glued to the former part is generally composed of two superimposed natural cork washers, suited to the radial compression caused by the bottle neck and to easy uncorking action (being less rigid than the external portion).
  • Such washers are also conceived to prevent any transfer of adhesive smell, and to provide a different specific weight compared to the upper part to permit automatic orientation in bottling equipment.
  • the Applicant decided to consider producing stoppers in a synthetic material able to replace stoppers made from cork or cork agglomerate and washers, suitable for any type of glass bottle and for any bottle content.
  • the aim of the present invention is to produce a stopper in synthetic material that presents the structural characteristics that make it suitable for uncorking action, and at the same time, that presents the necessary sealing characteristics.
  • Another aim of the present invention is that of producing a synthetic stopper having dimensions suited to pre-existing bottling equipment.
  • the aims of the present invention also include the need for providing a synthetic stopper that can be used in the various corking configurations required by different types of wine and glass bottles.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to produce a stopper for glass bottles suitable for any other contents apart from wine.
  • the synthetic stopper for glass bottles according to the present invention can be obtained by coupling two portions of semi-expanded foam synthetic material having differentiated deformation capacity, a first portion being plastic, and a second portion being elastic.
  • a synthetic stopper 10 for glass bottles is obtained by coupling two portions of semi-expanded foam synthetic material having differentiated deformation capacity, a first plastic portion P and a second elastic portion E.
  • the stopper that can be realised according to the present invention can be a mushroom-shaped stopper destined for bottles of sparkling wine, champagne or similar types, or for bottles having a widely flared shape such as the "champagnotte", or flat-topped stoppers destined for sparkling or still wines in normal bottles such as the "bordelaise”.
  • the aforesaid difference in the deformation capacity of the synthetic stopper 10 is obtained as a bi-component stopper by means of co-injection or bi-injection or the double injection of two different materials, such as a polyolefin 11 such as polyethylene PE for the plastic portion P, and an elastomer material 12 such as styrene-butadiene copolymer or styrene-butadienestyrene (SBS) for the elastic portion E.
  • a polyolefin 11 such as polyethylene PE for the plastic portion P
  • an elastomer material 12 such as styrene-butadiene copolymer or styrene-butadienestyrene (SBS) for the elastic portion E.
  • SBS styrene-butadiene copolymer
  • SBS styrene-butadienestyrene
  • the elastic portion E that forms a single body with the previous plastic portion P is suited to the radial compression caused by the neck of the bottle, and is easily uncorked since it is less rigid than the external portion.
  • a free cork stopper having a diameter of approximately 28-29 mm is reduced to a diameter of 17.5 -18 mm once it is inserted in the bottleneck.
  • the materials used to produce the synthetic stopper must not only be chemically and biologically suitable, but must also be suitable for contact with food products.
  • the synthetic stopper 10 in a single component form, is just as easily produced with the methods described previously, using a same material 13, but having a different density in the semi-expanded foam. In any case the difference in the specific weight permits perfect orientation of the stopper with all types of orientation equipment.
  • the mixing of the two different components 11, 12 or the single component 13 with differentiated density in the transition zone provides an excellent barrier against the entry of oxygen and a perfect seal to maintain the carbon dioxide.
  • the stopper which in the illustrated example can be obtained as a single component 13, presents at least one cavity 14 that can be hollow or realised by means of an insert in a material 15.
  • This cavity can be used to measure the deformable capacity of the portion under examination, in this case, the elastic portion.
  • the cavity and/or insert can be realised in any type of stopper of any form whatsoever, both in bi-component and single component materials.
  • the single component stopper can be realised in either a material that is mainly or completely elastic, or in a material that is mainly or completely plastic. In fact, in the latter case the presence of one or more cavities, either hollow or with a soft insert or inserts, will provide the stopper with the necessary deforming capacity and elasticity.
  • Figure 4 shows a mushroom shaped stopper, which in the example is realised using the two materials 11, 12, but which can be either single component or having a cavity and/or an insert, according to productive requirements.
  • Such mushroom shaped stopper realises as described the structural resistance necessary to withstand uncorking torsion and the presence of the cage, adapting itself with its elastic portion E to the deformation imposed by the reduced diameter of the bottle neck.
  • the cavity and any possible insert can be realised in any direction and position that is technologically useful for achieving the structural aim for which they are destined.
