Description
- This invention relates to a capsule for the closure of bottles that can be removed by means of tearing.
- The configuration of the capsule according to the invention provides a large area for the inclusion of advertising. The capsule is configured in two parts in such a way that; once the upper part has been removed by tearing, the lower part remains stable in position.
- This capsule is at the same time a very obvious safety seal showing whether the bottle cap has been opened or not.
- Closures including a first means of water-tight closure often require secondary closures with various additional functions.
- This is the case for some bottle cap closures that have pourers with valves for preventing fraudulent refilling.
- In these cases, the incorporation of an external capsule provides evidence of the first opening and additionally allows the incorporation of advertising on a surface free from knurling or other mechanical devices for closure.
- Patent of publication number
W00007898 - This capsule has a special fixing configuration and tearing mechanism for its removal. The capsule has a peripheral line of weakness which gives rise to two portions: an upper and a lower.
- The upper portion has two lines of weakness in vertical position, with the weakness incorporated in the internal part of the surface of the capsule, wherein at least one of them intersects the first peripheral line.
- Before breaking the capsule, the peripheral line of weakness sets up a division in such as way that both above and below are means to prevent the rise of the capsule in the axial direction.
- The descent of the capsule is prevented by the presence of the cap; but once the upper part has been removed, this retention is no longer present and the descent is only prevented by the wedging of the lower collar against the conical surface of the neck of the bottle, giving rise to the possibility of clearance in the axial direction between them.
- Also, the vertical tearing requires a tab above the breaking point to be pulled by the side vertically up to the line of weakness that intersects with the peripheral line. Once the tearing has progressed to this point, continuing the tearing gives rise to an advance of the breakage of the lateral line of weakness until it extends to the whole perimeter.
- The presence of the upper tab prevents the use of this surface for the incorporation of advertising that would make use of all of the upper area of the capsule.
- Patent application
WO99/21773A - Patent application
GB2285623A - The tearing of this type of capsule also requires two changes in direction: from the horizontal to the vertical; and from the vertical to the final peripheral span.
- The present invention establishes a capsule configuration that gives rise to a closure that overcomes these drawbacks.
- This invention consists of a capsule capable of establishing a closure over bottles incorporating a pourer. This pourer can incorporate, for example, means to prevent the fraudulent refilling of the contents of the bottle.
- The capsule is of the type where at least one of the parts becomes detached by means of a tearing operation, leaving the cap of the bottle accessible. The configuration of the invention achieves a tearing that is performed on the side of the capsule without interfering with the upper surface, which enables the use of all of the area for the inclusion of advertising.
- After tearing, the capsule is divided into two spans, the lower span remains linked to the neck of the bottle and the upper span is the part that is detached.
- The object of the invention is the particular way of achieving these objectives through a configuration enabling the lower part to always remain axially fixed with respect to the bottle and the upper span never having a direct connection with the bottle. Its only connection is through the lower portion which is a temporary union until the tearing operation takes place.
- The essential characteristics of the capsule for a bottle closure are that the features according to
claim 1 - In the examples of embodiment, the upper span and the lower span of this capsule are separable in the tearing operation through the lower line of weakness on the band. It is therefore considered that the band is a part of the upper span.
- The different ways of carrying out this invention are considered to be included in this description according to the
dependent claims 2 to 8. - Also, the closure constituted from this capsule according to claim 9 is considered within the field of the invention.
- Equally, closures deriving from any combination of dependent claims 10 to 13 are considered to be included in the description.
- This capsule is at the same time a very obvious safety seal showing whether the bottle cap has been opened or not. If the bottle has been opened, this will be known because the upper span of the capsule will be missing. If it is not missing, the capsule will be complete.
- Therefore, as well as being a capsule, it is also a safety seal.
- This specification is complemented by a set of drawings, illustrating the preferred and non-limitative embodiment of the invention.
-
Figure 1 shows an example of the embodiment of the invention giving an elevational view of the neck of the bottle with the closure that prevents fraudulent refilling, as well as the capsule. -
Figure 2 shows a capsule in an elevational view, giving an external view of the presence of the tab that enables the removal of part of the capsule. -
Figure 3 shows a capsule in an elevational view wherein the upper span of the capsule has been detached. -
Figure 4 shows a bottle where now the assembly without the upper span is illustrated sectionally. -
Figure 5 is an elevational, sectional view of a capsule without the presence of the internal assembly, allowing a view of the projection that constitutes the retention mechanism with the pourer. This figure also includes a close-up of the section of the projection. -
Figure 6 is an elevational, sectional view of a capsule wherein there is a change in the way of starting the lines of weakness, which define the root of the removable band of the capsule. -
Figure 7 is an elevational, sectional view and a plan view, also sectional, of an embodiment of the invention, wherein the lines of weakness comprise three consecutive sectors. - An example of the embodiment of the invention is shown in
figures 1 ,5 ,7 . In particular, in the section shown infigure 1 , the neck of the bottle (1) is shown, whereon an assembly preventing fraudulent refilling is situated. - This assembly is mainly formed by a pourer (3) that has a collar (3.1), the internal face whereof has means (3.1.1) for preventing its rotation with respect to the bottle (1).
- In the interior of this pourer (3), in this example of embodiment, there is a chassis (2) that holds a valve (4) in order to prevent fraudulent refilling, as well as two balls (2.1) that increase the security against fraudulent refilling offered by the value (4).
- The pourer (3) is closed by means of a cap (5), with which it maintains a link through a thread (3.3, 5.1).
- The internal assembly of the closure plus the cap (5) are covered by a capsule (6) consisting of two separable portions or spans, one upper and the other lower; the latter in the form of an external collar (6.5).
- It is this collar (6.5) that has a peripheral projection (6.1) on its internal face which is intended to be inserted into an external groove (3.2), which is also peripheral to the pourer (3).
- This peripheral projection (6.1) does not necessarily have to be continuous but can be discontinuous, as is shown in
Figure 5 . - In this first example, as can be seen in the enlarged detail of
Figure 5 , the section of the peripheral projection (6.1) presents a small angle of inclination (α) on the lower face that facilitates the insertion of the capsule (6) over the pourer (3). - However, this peripheral projection (6.1) operating together with the peripheral groove (3.2) also peripheral to the pourer (3) is such that it prevents movement in both axial directions (according to the position shown in the figures) both in ascending and descending directions.
- Given that this projection (6.1) is on the interior of the lower span or external collar (6.5) of the capsule (6), once the upper span of the capsule (6) has been detached, the external collar (6.5) remains axially fixed with respect to the bottle (1) due to the fixing with the pourer (3).
- The upper part of the capsule (6) is separable by means of two lines of weakness (6.2) that define a band (6.3) between them. The lines of weakness (6.2) can, for example, be constituted by breakable connecting pieces.
- In this example of embodiment, the two lines of weakness (6.2) are parallel, giving rise to a band (6.3) of constant width that terminates in a grasping tongue (6.3.1) that facilitates the start of the tearing the band (6.3).
- The removal of this band (6.3) only has an advancement which follows a peripheral direction until a whole turn is completed.
- After the tearing, the presence of a span of connection (6.4) between the band (6.3) and a terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span permits that once the upper span of the capsule (6) has been detached, the band (6.3) remains linked with the terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span, which in this case has the form of a disc, given the shortness of the lateral spans that remain on removing the band (6.3).
- In practice, this span (6.4) is not essential for the manner of tearing indicated because, during said tearing, once more than about half of the points that link the band (6.3) with the terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span, both (6.3, 6.6) remain linked together through the span of points that have not yet been broken.
- In turn, the entire upper span, that part comprising the band (6.3), remains separated from the collar (6.5)
- Of the two lines of weakness (6.2), the lower is always above the projection (6.1) of the fixing, so that the fixture of the collar (6.5) is always ensured, even having removed the upper span of the capsule (6).
- The terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span, preferably in the form of a disc, is available for publicity by means of printing or injection moulding to give some examples.
- As shown in
Figure 6 , a band (6.3) is not necessarily defined between two lines of weakness (6.2) arranged in parallel but can be defined by two lines of weakness (6.2) that in their initial span have an inclination that deflects the final tearing of the band (6.3) towards the upper disk by means of an oblique span (6.3.2) without the band (6.3) being separated from the upper portion of the capsule (6). - Although it is a sectional view, the configuration of the band (6.3) can equally be seen from the inside.
- For example the peripheral projection (6.1) that is on the interior of the capsule (6) is continuous and according to the invention below the lower line of weakness (6.2) that gives rise to the tearing band (6.3).
- An example of embodiment is shown in
Figure 7 wherein the lines of weakness (6.2) are parallel to each other and not continuous over the whole perimeter of the capsule (6), but comprise at least two consecutive sectors, which are manifest as three sectors in the example shown in the figure. - This division of the band (6.3) into sectors has the advantage that in the case where there is an adhesive tape over the capsule (6), for example showing the corresponding prices, one of the ends of the adhesive tape may fall over the grasping tongue (6.3.1) making the opening of the capsule (6) more difficult. Including more than one grasping tongue (6.3.1) in the band (6.3) would enable the user access to another (6.3.1) that may not be covered by the aforementioned adhesive tape. Another advantage derived from this third example of embodiment is that as the band (6.3) comprises various sectors it makes it very obvious that the bottle has been opened, as it makes any subsequent attempt to locate each of the sectors in their initial position more difficult, thereby hiding the fact that the bottle was opened.
- Thus, in the example of embodiment shown in
figure 7 , there are three defined sectors (6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5) of the band (6.3), which has constant width, each sector (6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5) terminating with a grasping tongue (6.3.1) that facilitates the tearing of each sector (6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5) of the band (6.3). - Additionally, the terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span of the capsule (6) comprises an orifice (6.6.1) on top, which in the embodiment shown has a circular form and is coaxial with the upper part of the cap (5), so as to enable visual access to the cap (5).
- Between at least one of the sectors (6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5) of the band (6.3) and the terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span, there can be a connecting span (6.4) enabling the linking between the band (6.3) and the terminal portion (6.6). It is also possible that there is no connection between both elements (6.3, 6.6) so that the terminal portion (6.6) of the upper span would be removed after the tearing of the band (6.3).
