Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for bottles/receptacles arranged to be attached to the bottle/receptacle, and where the device comprises a first cavity, preferably for additive.
  • Closure devices of the above-mentioned type are previously known, for example from US 2,631,521 which describes a closure for a bottle.
  • the closure has an elastic top which is mechanically connected to a needle.
  • the elastic top is convexly curved, and when depressed it causes the needle to pierce a protective membrane, thereby permitting an additive (in this case a flavour additive) to come into contact with the liquid in the bottle.
  • the closure has to be removed in order to gain access to the contents of the bottle, while at the same time the closure permits a single flavour additive to be dispensed.
  • US 4,221,291 discloses a closure comprising a bottom part connected to a top part by a rod projecting downwards towards the bottom part. When the top part is depressed, the rod is pushed inwards and the bottom part is partly detached, permitting an additive to be mixed with liquid in the bottle. In order to gain access to the contents of the bottle, the top part has to be removed and a straw inserted in the closure. In this case too the closure does not permit more than a single flavour additive to be dispensed.
  • US 5,217,433 discloses a closure for medicinal additive. It comprises a first part with the additive, where the part can be pushed in for dispensing the additive into a bottle, whereupon access can be gained to the additive through the first part.
  • This closure does not permit access to the contents of the bottle without dispensing the additive, nor does it permit several different substances to be added.
  • US 2002/0050461 describes a closure for a beverage receptacle provided with a selectively operable dispense feature according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a plurality of hollow plungers containing different additives are disposed in the closure and are selectively operable to pierce a rupturable seal, permitting contents to be displaced into the receptacle.
  • the object of the invention is to redress the above-mentioned and other drawbacks of the prior art.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a closure device for a bottle or a receptacle, which closure device permits several additives to be dispensed into the contents of the bottle or receptacle.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a closure device which permits the independent dispensing of different additives into the contents of the bottle/receptacle.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a closure device which permits access to the contents of the bottle or receptacle without prior dispensing of additives into the contents.
  • the closure device will comprise capsules, corks, crown corks, screw corks, etc.
  • the closure device according to the invention will be able to be connected to the bottle by means of screw threads on the inside or on the outside of the cork, by clamping round the neck of the bottle, by insertion in the neck of the bottle and clamping effect, etc.
  • the closure device may be integrated in the bottle/receptacle or it may be supplied as a separate part.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate a part of the closure device according to the invention.
  • the closure device 1 comprises a closure body 10 with a drinking mechanism 30.
  • the closure body is further equipped with threads 40 for attachment to a bottle or receptacle (not shown) and with a seal 41 to ensure against tampering.
  • the closure body comprises a first cavity 2 for additive and a second cavity 120 which in this embodiment is intended for access to the beverage.
  • the first and the second cavities 2 and 120 respectively can be opened individually (as shown in figure 2 ) by means of opening mechanisms which are integrated in the closure device and can be influenced from the outside of the device.
  • the closure body comprises a third cavity 3 which can be connected with the first and the second cavities 2 and 120 respectively.
  • Figure 1 also illustrates different axes that can be defined for the closure device and the cavities.
  • the closure device comprises a cylindrical closure body 10 arranged to be affixed to the bottle/receptacle and with an axis of rotation A1.
  • the first cavity 2 is elongated along a first axis B1 and the second cavity 120 is elongated along a second axis C1.
  • the axis B1 of the first cavity 2 is not parallel to the axis A1 of the closure body 10 while the axis C 1 of the second cavity 120 coincides with the axis A1 of the closure body 10.
  • the drinking mechanism 30 comprises a central part 130 for insertion in a central opening in a rotatable part 31. The interaction of the rotatable part 31 and the central part 130 will be explained in more detail later. Even though it is not shown in the figure, it is possible to implement a closure body where the axis B 1 is parallel to the axis C1.
  • the drinking mechanism 30 further comprises wall parts 110 defining elongated cavities 120 both from the side and from below. As shown in figure 2A the cavities 120 are connected with the cavity 3, thus enabling the drink to flow out therethrough.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment where the opening mechanism comprises a plunger part 5 with several plungers 4, where each of the plungers can be influenced individually.
  • the bottom 42 of the plungers 4 is concavely curved.
  • the edge of the bottom is sharp with the result that when the plunger 4 is depressed, a cap 43 covering the bottom of the cavities 2 is completely or partly removed, enabling the additive to be freely mixed with the contents of the bottle.
  • the cavity 120 is not intended for additive, but for use in the drinking mechanism, the latter comprising a drinking spout 44.
  • Figure 3B illustrates the device equipped with a cover 45.
  • Figures 3C and 3D illustrate the same embodiment as figure 3A but provided with a transparent cover 45.
  • Figure 3E is a view from above, and this figure illustrates the oval shape of the upper part of the plungers 4.
  • Figures 3F-3I illustrate a variant of the same embodiment, where the closure device is made of a transparent plastic material, thereby enabling the user to see which additive is used.
  • Figure 4 depicts a detail of the plunger part 5 in the embodiment in figure 3 .
  • plunger part 5 comprises a ring 6, and the plungers 4 project downwards from the ring 6 into the additive cavity/cavities 2 ( figure 3 ).
  • the ring 6 is corrugated with raised portions 7 and depressions 8, and the plunger/plungers 4 project downwards from the raised portions 7.
  • the plungers 4 are integrated in the ring 6.
  • the plungers are arranged slantingly relative to the closure body's axis, but it is possible to implement a variant where the plungers are vertical, i.e. with an axis which is parallel to the closure body.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a variant, where , figure 5A is a view of the closure body from below, 5B is a view from above, 5C is a view from the side, 5D is a section and 5E is a view from above.
  • the closure device 1 does not contain any drinking mechanism, and both the first and the second cavities are intended for additive.
  • the opening mechanism comprises plungers 4 which can be influenced from the outside of the device.
  • the plungers comprise an upper part which is oval and a lower part with a circular cross section. It is also possible to make plungers with an oval cross section along the entire length of the plungers.
  • the closure device has to be removed in its entirety in order to gain access to the beverage inside the bottle.
  • Figure 6 illustrates variants of the closure mechanism.
  • Figures 6A and 6B illustrate a variant where the plungers 4 are free-standing and can be passed through apertures in the ring part 6.
  • Figures 6C and 6D illustrate an embodiment where the plungers are integrated with the ring 6; in figure 6C the plungers comprise cavities 9 for additive. All other variants of the closure mechanism mentioned in this description will be able to be used in this variant.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a variant.
  • the axes B1 of the cavities 2 are at right angles to the axis A1 of the main body.
  • cavity 2 is arranged for connection to the third cavity 3.
  • Plunger part 5 is composed of a ring 6 and the plungers 4 project inwards from the ring 6, where the ring 5 may be flexible and the plungers may also be free.
  • the plungers 4 are still operated independently of each other, the plungers 4 in figures 7D-7F are arranged in such a manner that the first plunger that is depressed will project into the common space and substantially lock the other plungers in the outer position.
  • the opening mechanism is therefore arranged to prevent opening of an additive cavity when another additive cavity is opened.
  • the ring 6 is to be made of a flexible and/or elastic material, with the result that the plungers return to the initial position due to the elasticity of the material.
  • the material is also important for ensuring the necessary individual movement of the plungers 4.
  • FIG 7F the plungers 4 are free-standing, but the plungers 4 may also be integrated in the ring 6.
  • Figure 7E shows a lobe 250 that locks the plunger 4 in the inner position.
  • Figures 7E and 8 illustrate a variant of the plungers 4, where they are provided with cavities 9 for additive, i.e. they form one of the said first and second cavities 2 and 120 respectively.
  • Cavity 9 is restricted partly by the plunger walls and partly by the cavity walls.
  • these plungers may be employed in several embodiments of the opening mechanism, i.e. independently of whether the axis of the cavity is parallel or not parallel to the axis of the closure body or whether they are attached to a ring ( fig. 6 ) or not ( fig. 8 ).
  • Figure 9 illustrates the case where plungers 4 with cavities 9 are integrated in a ring 6.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a further variant of the plungers 4.
  • the plungers 4 comprise a threaded part 23 as illustrated in figure 10B .
  • the plungers further comprise slots 24 for inserting a screwdriver device (not shown) while in figure 10D the plungers comprise wings 25 for causing rotation of the plunger.
  • FIG 11 illustrates an alternative embodiment.
  • the closure device according to this embodiment comprises a storage part 20 with cavity 2 (and possibly 120).
  • This embodiment permits a food company, for example, to supply a ready-filled storage unit that can be attached to the closure body 10 from below. From the production point of view, this embodiment will permit low-cost manufacture of the closure device.
  • Figure 12 illustrates a variant.
  • Figure 12C is a view of the closure body from below.
  • the cavities 2 are bounded by a capsule 21 and a foil 22.
  • the capsule 21 and the foil 22 thereby constitute the opening mechanism which can be depressed from the outside of the device.
  • the additive is placed, for example in the form of tablets from the bottom, whereupon the foil 22 seals the cavities.
  • Capsule 21 is flexible.
  • a tray 20 may also be employed for insertion and it can be broken when depressed.
  • the closure body further comprises a rotatable drinking spout 31 with a control protrusion 100.
  • Figure 13 illustrates a variant.
  • Figure 13A is a view of the closure body from above
  • figure 12B is a section
  • figures 12C and 12E are views of the closure body from below.
  • Figure 13D depicts the lower surface of the upper part 1.
  • the axis of rotation A1 for the cylindrical closure body 10 is parallel with the axes of rotation B1 and C 1 for the cavities.
  • the closure body 10 is equipped with an aperture 47 in the bottom.
  • a disc 26 with sealed cavities 27 and 28 is mounted under the closure body.
  • An upper part 50 is twisted in order to align the aperture 47 with one of the cavities 27 or 28.
  • This embodiment also comprises a rotatable drinking spout.
  • Figure 14 illustrates a variant of figure 13 .
  • Figure 14A is a view of the closure body from below
  • 14D is a view of the upper part of the closure body from below, and this part is provided with a gasket surface while the lower part has grooves for sealing.
  • Figure 14E is a view of the lower part of the closure body from above.
  • Figure 14H is a detail from figure 14G illustrating grooves for locking the upper part of the closure body to the lower part. All the axes A1, B1, C1 are parallel.
  • the closure device requires rotation of the parts 50 (upper part) and 10 (lower part) relative to one another.
  • the drinking spout will be connected to the contents of the bottle by turning the upper part relative to the lower part.
  • Figure 15 illustrates a drinking spout or rotatable part 31 which is a part of a drinking mechanism 30.
  • Figure 15A is a section of the rotatable part, depicting a protrusion 100 which permits the rotatable part to be easily turned.
  • Figure 15F shows a detail of figure 15B .
  • the device comprises a rotatable part 31, where the cavity is equipped with a through opening from the at least one cavity. This through opening is of approximately the same size as an aperture in the rotatable part, which can be rotated at least between a position where the aperture is located directly above the through opening to a position where the through opening is blocked/closed.
  • the rotatable part may also have several apertures and be equipped with means for holding the rotating part in an open of closed position, for example a patterned peripheral surface area. Furthermore, the rotating part may have several cavities and several positions for opening several openings simultaneously in order to provide greater flow of liquid through the through-opening or to enable the openings to be opened after one another to provide faster access to the drinking opening or also give access to cavities with additives. Many variants are possible.
  • Figure 16 illustrates a cover 45 for protection of the closure device.
  • Figure 16D shows a rib/seal that has to be broken when the bottle is opened in order to avoid tampering.
