Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved closure cap, specifically designed for bottles for pharmaceutical uses and the like.
  • Closure caps for closing pharmaceutical bottles are already known in a plurality of different configuratioris.
  • Said prior caps are designed for meeting a lot of different requirements in this field and to aid a user to use them.
  • a prior closure cap which has encountered a broad spreading of the market, is the so-called "FLIP OFF" cap, which comprises three component pieces, including a thermoplastic material cover or mantle elements, an aluminium outer body and an inner body also made of an aluminium material.
  • the mentioned cover or mantle elements is molded with a plurality of tongue elements which can be sealed on the inner body which, in turn, is molded and bored or perforated to receive, in assembling the cap, the cover element tongue elements.
  • the outer aluminium body is molded and pre-perforated with a clamping tongue element.
  • closure cap is used for sealing and covering a rubber plug element provided for protecting a bottle, either of a glass material or any other suitable materials, which can hold therein physiologic solutions, syrups, active or lyophilized substances.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a cap having the same features of presently available caps but with the additional advantage that it is made by using a much less number of component elements.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide such a cap, which, owing to its very reduced number of components, has also a very small cost.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a cap which can be opened in a very simple manner.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a cap which has a size compatible to the available packaging lines.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a cap the aluminium collar of which can be easily removed and which can be easily made in a lot of different sizes, according to requirements.
  • an improved closure cap specifically designed for bottles for pharmaceutical uses and the like, characterized in that said cap comprises only two components, i.e. a cover element including latching tongues for latching to a single outer body to be coupled to the neck of the bottle.
  • the cap according to the invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a cover element 2, preferably made of a thermoplastic material and molded with latching or clamping tongue elements 3, and a single outer body 4, preferably made of aluminium.
  • the single outer body 4 is designed to be edge coupled to the neck of the bottle 7.
  • said outer body is perforated and comprises a clamping tongue element for facilitating, upon use, a complete removal of the body by tearing operations.
  • the cover element 2 is sealed on said single body 4 during the assembling operation which provides, at the start thereof, to apply a rubber plug or stopper 6 to the bottle 7, in a per se known manner.
  • the tongue elements 3 of the cover element have been specifically designed to engage, in the assembling operation, in a semicircular hole 8a and in a portion of a central hole 8b formed on the single body 4 to define a tearing ring element 9.
  • the closure cap according to the present invention has the same features as the prior three component closure caps, but the inventive cap has a lot of important advantages, in particular a very low cost of the product and a great reduction of production waste materials, and this owing to the reduction of its components.
  • closure cap according to the present invention provides a user the possibility of easily opening the cover element, to allow the ring element to adhere to the rubber plug, which feature is not provided in three-element prior closure caps.
  • closure cap according to the present invention has a size which is compatible with existing packaging or bottling lines.
  • closure cap according to the present invention comprise an easy removal of the aluminium collar and the possibility of making said closure cap according to a lot of different sizes, according to requirements.
  • the invention provides a very functional and unexpensive article of manufacture, which allows both the maker and the user to obtain a very great saving.
  • the used materials, and the contingent size and shapes can be any, according to requirements.
