Definitions

  • the present invention is intended to disclose a non-refillable stopper for bottles of spirits and the like which provide appreciable characteristics of novelty and inventive step.
  • the stopper not only offers characteristics which prevent its direct filling after the customary screw cap of the bottle has been opened, but has characteristics which make it difficult to dismantle the stopper from the bottle in order to refill the same with beverages of lower quality.
  • the aim of the present invention is to obtain a non-refillable stopper of the type generally known, constituted by an outer casing or tube cap, associated with the screw cap at the body, which is retained in the neck of the bottle and is complemented by a part termed a washer which is that part which is centred in the inner part of the opening of the neck of the bottle, and which on the outside is in many cases associated by means of protuberances and recesses with the body of the stopper, which is the source of complications and an increase in cost.
  • the washer receives on the inside the valve which is of the one-way type, that is to say, it permits the outflow of the liquid as soon as the stopper has been removed by unscrewing, and does not permit the introduction of a fresh liquid, since it is arranged on a suitable seat of the washer, preventing the entry of liquid into the bottle.
  • the present invention is based on the constitution of a body for the stopper which is coupled to a reinforced zone of the washer simply by conical seating, that is to say, without the need for special sockets which significantly complicate the manufacture of the moulds and that of the actual parts.
  • the body is retained below by means of the customary step in the neck of the bottle.
  • the tube cap is retained in an anti-rotational function with respect to the body by providing a plurality of groups of small incisive protuberances on vertical connecting bridges of the lower rim of said body, so that when the tube cap is mounted on the body, said protuberances are inserted, preventing the rotation of one element with respect to the other.
  • the lower edge of the body is simply straight without any need for retention with the outer tube cap.
  • the essential improvement has been introduced of constituting the lower part of the body of the stopper as a plurality of independent sectors by means of separating cuts or interruptions of continuity that are substantially longitudinal, giving rise to a series of independent wings, each of which adapts, by separation from the rest, to the lower edge of the neck.
  • the number of sections may vary, as may their specific dimensional characteristics.
  • the longitudinal cuts or separations are the most practical from the point of view of manufacture, neither is it excluded for said lateral separations between the different zones to be in the form of oblique or curved cuts or cuts of other type.
  • the non-refillable stopper of the present invention is intended for the non-refillable closure of a bottle, the neck 1 of which has a conventional structure, being covered externally by the tube cap 2 which in turn receives on top the overcap 3, the unscrewing of which will free the upper, open part of the body 4 equipped with the upper opening for the outflow of the liquid contained in the bottle.
  • An intermediate valve 5 sits on the rim 6 of the inner part of the washer 7, which is coupled to the inner surface 8 of the neck 1 of the bottle and sits on the upper face of said neck. Below the valve 5 the washer 7 has an opening, defined, for example, by means of crossed radial bridges 9.
  • the washer 7 has a reinforced structure 10, especially in the part of the base, the outer wall 11 of which is conical and is intended to receive the inner wall 12, likewise conical, of the opposite part of the body, achieving by its axial introduction a simple assembly and highly resistant wedging.
  • the body 4 has below, as is customary, a series of steps 13 for retention with the lower edge 14 of the outer rim of the neck of the bottle, also having in the present invention an outer rim directed towards the outside 14' and intended to receive the compression action towards the inside of the tube cap 2, which increases the pressure contact of the protruding edges 13 against the step 14 of the neck of the bottle. In this way, there is a very appreciable increase in the force required to extract the stopper assembly, which is therefore much more secure against manipulation for refilling the bottle.
  • the body 4 has the external screw thread 15 and a plurality of vertical bridges 16, 16', 16", equipped with a plurality of protuberances of small dimensions, distributed in zones, which have a pointed shape in an upward direction, being designated in the drawing by the numerals 17, 17', 17".
  • the body 4 has at the side the customary flexibilising windows such as 19, 19' and others of smaller dimensions 20, 20'.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show respectively a view with the windows 18 and with the corresponding solid part.
  • the arrangement of the conical parts 10 and 11 for retention by wedging can be seen in both.
  • the body of the non-refillable stopper which has been indicated overall by the numeral 25, is equipped below with several wings separated from one another, smoothly inclined towards the outside, and which have been indicated by the numerals 26, 27, 28 and 29 and are separated from one another by interruptions of continuity or cuts 30, 31, 32 and 33 that are longitudinal.
  • the number of sections 26, 27, 28 and 29 may vary, four of which having been shown in the appended drawings by way of example.
  • the zones of separation of the different sections mentioned may be straight, substantially in planes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the body of the stopper, but could be of some other different shape, such as slightly inclined, curved, etc.
  • the Applicant has demonstrated that the ease of assembly of the body of the stopper in the operation of automated fitting of the stopper assembly is very much simplified, obtaining a notable saving in time and, on the other hand, the construction of the wings separated from one another in the lower part of the body of the stopper permits improved adaptation of the inner ribs of the body of the stopper in the neck of the bottle, giving rise to more even and securer clamping over the whole of the common contour between the body of the non-refillable stopper and the lower rim of the neck of the bottle.
  • non-refillable stoppers according to the present invention, simple manufacture of the moulds for the washer and the body is obtained, and also simple fitting of the stopper and an increased non-refilling efficacy. Greater ease of fitting of the stopper is also obtained and a greater resistance to surreptitious disassembly.
  • the body of the stopper will be made of polycarbonate, although, as can be understood, it could also be manufactured of other technical plastics materials, especially of the type suitable for preventing its deformation in the presence of heat.
