Definitions
- the invention relates to bottle closures with tamper-evident means used for expensive liquids to prevent refilling and indicating the first opening of the bottle.
- a safety closure incorporating a discharge device, a fastening hood, a cap and a shutoff sleeve.
- the hood is connected with the shutoff sleeve via a weak line in the form of a few strips.
- the discharge device has ribs to distribute the flow over the free space.
- the shutoff sleeve has a spline on its interior surface being in engagement with the spline on the basic device.
- Aforesaid valve protects bottles from refilling ( RU Patent No 2150417 , Int. Cl. 7: B 65 D 49/02, published 10.06.2000).
- a drawback of this closure is in low reliability due to a small basic length of the valve within the guiding cavity of the discharge device as a result of which the valve may be jammed in the guide at a slight tilt.
- Closures of the type commonly incorporate a decorative metallic or plastic casing with a tamper-evident means warning about the first opening of the bottle, and a polyethylene cap with a discharge device, which extends upwards and opens at turning the decorative casing of the bottle ( RU Patent No 23290 , Int. C1.7: B65D 39/00, published 10.06.2002). Rotation of the casing in reverse direction makes the cap operate like a gate closing tightly the unsealed bottle and preventing thereby its contents from evaporation.
- a polymeric hood with an extensible valve comprising a decorative cap, a shutoff and a discharge sleeves, a pouring tube, a gate and a fastening casing.
- the discharge device is made as a pouring tube able to seal the bottle cap tightly with the help of the gate.
- the pouring tube is screwed out of the hood cavity by unscrewing the decorative cap, which results in rupture of the strips that connect the decorative cap with the safety strap and rupture of said strap indicating the first opening of the bottle ( RU Patent No 2238893 , Int. Cl. 7: B 65D 47/20, published 27.10.2000).
- Above-mentioned closures do not, however, furnish sufficient protection from unauthorised opening and are rather inconvenient. Besides, there is a possibility of reassembling the breakable safety strap to mislead the customer.
- a safety closure (RU Patent No 2180311 , Int. Cl. 7: B 65 D 47/20, published 10.03.2002) comprised of a decorative casing with a break-away element, a shutoff sleeve and a discharge device.
- the break-away element abuts against the decorative casing.
- the shutoff sleeve with splines on the interior surface is located in said decorative casing so as to provide their mutual rotation about the discharge sleeve and to engage its splines with the splines on the break-away element.
- the described closure is, however, insufficiently protected against unauthorised opening, and is neither tight enough in a sealed form nor when screwed/unscrewed.
- the proposed embodiment of technical solution intends to raise durability of the device, furnish an additional level of protection and make the closure more convenient for handling.
- Named technical result is achieved by the accomplishment of the closure for bottles with a slide tube consisting of a decorative casing, a shutoff sleeve having splines on its interior surface, a threaded discharge sleeve with splines on its exterior side surface and a cap with a tube for liquid escape placed on its end, said decorative casing having a breakable upper piece weakened by vertical slots and furnished with strips on the side and end surfaces of the casing made at different spacing, wherein the last strip on the end surface in direction of breakage is strengthened and its length ratio to the weakened strip comprises at least 2.5.
- the interior surface of the decorative casing has slots and at least two restrictive collars, said slots on the casing being in engagement with the ribs made on the exterior side surface of the discharge sleeve.
- closure has a decorative casing, the interior surface of said casing and the exterior surface of the discharge sleeve being threaded in different directions.
- the mentioned technical result of the first and second embodiments is attained additionally by imparting surface roughness to a portion of the breakable element.
- the end surface of the shutoff sleeve is furnished with a breakable element with weakened strips, the interior end surface of said shutoff sleeve being made with a restrictive annular collar.
- the cap with the tube contains a cylindrical projection, wherein at least one sealing collar is made.
- the discharge sleeve incorporates a resilient element with a through opening and projections forming open on top annular cavity, said discharge sleeve being seated with its lower part in the annular cavity, thereby forming a gap between the bottom and projections of the resilient element.
- the closure for bottles with a slide tube consists of decorative casing 1, shutoff sleeve 2, cap 3, discharge sleeve 4 and resilient element 5.
- the decorative casing 1 has a breakable upper piece disconnected by means of weakened strips 6 on the side surface and strips 7 on the end surface, and slots 8 separating the upper part.
- the last strip 9 in direction of rupture is strengthened, and its length ratio to the length of the weakened strip constitutes at least 2.5.
- the beginning of the breakable element has rough surface 10, wherein the direction of rupture 11 is indicated.
- Slots 12 and at least two restrictive collars 13 are provided on the interior lower part of decorative casing 1.
- Shutoff sleeve 2 is fit with splines 14 on the interior side surface and has a breakable piece 15 with weakened strips 16 on the end surface of said shutoff sleeve.
- the annular restrictive projection 17 is made on the interior end surface of shutoff sleeve 2, and at least one slotted annular collar 18 is provided on the interior lower part of said shutoff sleeve.
- Cap 3 is made with tube 19 forming opening 20 for liquid escape.
- the interior surface of cap 3 has thread 21 and its exterior surface is provided with splines 22 to engage with splines 14 of the shutoff sleeve.
- Discharge sleeve 4 contains inner tube 25 with a plugged end.
- the upper part of discharge sleeve 4 has cylindrical projection 26 with male screw 27 engaged with thread 21 on cap 3.
- the exterior surface of discharge sleeve 4 is provided with ribs 28 to engage with interior slots 12 of casing 1, and retaining slots 29 and 30 to enclose annular slotted collar 18 of shutoff sleeve 2 and restrictive collars 13 of decorative casing 1, preventing thereby its axial movement, wherein the interior surface of said discharge sleeve has ribs 31 for fastening on the bottleneck.
- Discharge sleeve 4 contains an elastic element 5 with through opening 32, and projections 33 and 34 forming on top annular cavity 35.
- Inner tube 25 is installed so as to accommodate its lower end in annular cavity 35 thereby forming hydraulic gate 36 ( Fig. 1 ) and through channels 37 for liquid escape.
- the given closure is assembled as follows: resilient element 5 is housed into the lower part of discharge sleeve 4, cap 3 with tube 19 is put on top of said sleeve, thereafter shutoff sleeve 2 is installed with breakable element 15 and decorative casing 1 with the upper breakable piece.
- Discharge sleeve 4 with cap 3 is such as to allow swivel relative to shutoff sleeve 2.
- Decorative casing 1 made of a polymeric material fixes tightly shutoff sleeve 2 with cap 3 and discharge sleeve 4 over the interior surface with the aid of collars 13 and interior slots 12 engaged with ribs 28 of discharge sleeve 4.
- the safety cap When installed on a bottle the safety cap is attached to the bottleneck by means of ribs 31 of discharge sleeve 4.
- the second embodiment of the closure consisting of the same elements as the first modification, is distinguished by implementing a new joint.
- the interior surface of decorative casing 1 and exterior surface of discharge sleeve 4 are made with threads of unlike direction 38 and 39, respectively ( Figs. 16 , 17), which allow for reliable protection of the casing from the circumferential and axial dislocation.
- Aforesaid differently directed threading can be made as a single or multiple-thread.
- Such implementation of the assembly of the decorative casing with the discharge sleeve eliminates certain structural elements like slots, ribs and collars, simplifies the design and is labour saving.
- the described unit is assembled by pressing the casing against the sleeve and locking by means of a tight fit of named threads.
- cap 3 Owing to the engagement between splines 14 of shutoff sleeve 2 and splines 22 of cap 3 as well as thread 27 of discharge sleeve 4, cap 3 is displaced along the axis of the device. As a result, cap 3 squeezes breakable element 15 out of shutoff sleeve 2 by tube 20, breaking thereby strips 16, and forcing tube 19 outside shutoff sleeve 2.
- All elements of the closure are made of ecologically friendly polymeric materials, e.g. polyethylene and polystyrene using high-tech thermoplastic machines by injection moulding in moulds with a hot-channel system and dies. End strips 7, 9 and slots 8 of casing 1 are made by moulding in a mould, while side strips 6 are produced by automatic cutting.
- the bottle is closed by pressing top-down in a capping machine.
- a pre-production sample of the bottle closure with a slide tube has been manufactured at an experimental industrial enterprise IUPP "Belkeps" using the turning/milling equipment.
- the proposed invention allows for an additional level of proofing against tampering by means of making the end piece of the casing breakable at opening. This also improves reliability of operation during bottling of liquids by excluding mechanical parts in the discharge sleeve that may cause sticking or jamming.
