Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container closure with means for generating noise.
  • a significant opening noise which is caused by a pressure equalization between the bottle contents and the environment, also has the advantage that it indicates the integrity of the bottle cap and so in the absence of an indication of possibly corrupted bottle contents or manipulation of the bottle contents.
  • Ironing closures are more expensive to manufacture and moreover have the disadvantage that the bottles equipped with them are difficult to integrate into a deposit cycle or a disposal system.
  • a bottle cap is known from the patent literature, which generates a whistling noise in that after opening the actual cork, the escaping gas flows through a pipe attached in the bottle opening to the outside.
  • NL 8001976 and JP 2000085779 A NL 8001976 and JP 2000085779 A .
  • such a noise generator could be produced only comparatively expensive and would also have the disadvantage that it would remain after removal of the closure in the bottle, which would be distracting in most bottles of beverage consumers, because the arranged in the bottle neck pipe, for example, the introduction of Drinking straws or lemon slices in the bottleneck made difficult as well as the flow of the drink.
  • a noise generator in which the material of the bottle cap is shaped in the manner of the toy "Knackfrosch" and is in the closed state of the bottle in the semi-stable state, so that it opens when the bottle is opened due to the pressure equalization in the stable state and thereby causes a noise ( JP 2004 196 318 A ).
  • a noise generator is only suitable for screw caps, not for crown caps, because the latter are deformed when opening and thereby prevented in its function from the existence of its outer shape dependent sound generator on its function or at least disturbed therein.
  • this noise generator has the disadvantage that closure parts must be made, which are relatively critical and therefore more expensive than the usual crown caps.
  • the publication DE 2 144 628 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a method of manufacturing a closure cap for closing bottles or similar vessels with a retaining ring provided at its lower edge. The lower edge of the retaining ring engages behind a constriction of the neck of the vessel.
  • WO 2004/080837 A1 shows a crown cap, which is firmly connected to a cap.
  • the cap has a cylindrical shell, but no characteristic noise takes place.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container closure, with the various opening noise can be generated or these are more noticeable and it is inexpensive to produce.
  • the object is achieved by a container closure solved with the features of claim 1.
  • noise-generating agent brittle material
  • sealing means when using crown corks by there arranged inside sealing washers
  • a crown cap of known type with a disc of a stuck brittle fabric This not only allows to produce noise-generating closures in a particularly cost-effective manner. Rather, even bottles that have already been sealed in a conventional manner, can be subsequently equipped in a further step with the noise generator. It does not have to be decided already at the bottling, which bottles should receive a noise generator. Rather, the bottles can be filled, transported and stored to be provided, if necessary, only then with the noise generator. This facilitates the production of small series, eg for temporary promotions.
  • the brittle material is a cured coating which has previously been applied in liquid form to the closure made of another substance and has undergone an adhesive bond with the closure during curing.
  • the brittle material is preferably a synthetic resin and / or sealing wax and / or shellac and / or a metal.
  • the closure 1 is a commercial crown cork 1 made of sheet metal, which covers the neck of the bottle 2 with a form-fitting with its umgebörtelten edge.
  • a glass plate 3 On the upper side of a glass plate 3 is glued same or smaller diameter, wherein a smaller diameter washer must be mounted substantially concentrically.

Bouchon pour contenant comportant des moyens produisant un bruit, le bouchon (1) étant composé au moins en partie d'un matériau cassant et le bouchon (1) devant subir une déformation telle, lors de l'ouverture du contenant (2), que ce matériau cassant se déforme en produisant alors un bruit , le matériau cassant étant appliqué sur l'extérieur du bouchon (1) et le bouchon (1) se composant en lui-même d'un autre matériau , et le contenant étant une bouteille (2), caractérisé en ce que le bouchon (1) est une capsule (1) classique et en ce que le matériau cassant en forme de rondelle (3) est appliqué sur la surface supérieure de la capsule (1).
  2. Bouchon pour contenant selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant se rompt sous l'effet de la déformation en produisant ainsi le bruit.
  3. Bouchon pour contenant selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant est un revêtement durci qui a préalablement été appliqué sous forme fluide sur le bouchon (1) composé de l'autre matériau et qui a été amené à adhérer avec le bouchon (1) par durcissement.
  4. Bouchon pour contenant selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant est du verre.
  5. Bouchon pour contenant selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant est une résine synthétique.
  6. Bouchon pour contenant selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant est de la cire à cacheter.
  7. Bouchon pour contenant selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau cassant est de la gomme-laque.
