Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective cap against the ingress of insects such as wasps and bees in beverage bottles, with a liquid-permeable cap lid and a cap skirt enclosing the respective bottleneck.
  • sweetened drinks attract insects such as wasps and bees, which pose a danger to humans if they want to drink the drinks outdoors, especially from the bottle.
  • wasps are prone to crawl quickly into the bottleneck of such beverage bottles, so that when drinking the wasp gets into the neck of the drinker, which can bring significant health consequences.
  • the simplest method is to cover the opening of the respective bottle neck with a so-called beer cap after opening the usual screw caps or crown corks, so that no more insect can penetrate into the respective bottle.
  • a cap made of plastic is known for this purpose, with the help of which the penetration of insects into opened beverage bottles should be prevented.
  • these caps made of plastic it is assumed that the bottleneck to be covered at each end has a bead, which serves in normal use as an abutment for pressed crown corks.
  • the known plastic caps are therefore designed so that they can be snapped over the respective bead of the bottle neck much like a crown cork, so that their firm grip is ensured.
  • the central region, ie the cap lid is liquid-permeable, without piercing insects of the order of wasps and bees can penetrate, in the form of fins or holes.
  • the method with the beer mat is very simple, but wind-sensitive, d. h., not sure.
  • the aforementioned plastic cap is in turn only suitable for beverage bottles with an end bead on the bottleneck.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a protective cap for preventing the ingress of insects into open beverage bottles, which on the one hand fits universally on all kinds of commercially available beverage bottles, and on the other hand easily attachable and stowable, while a safer to drink appropriate conclusion of a beverage bottle must be guaranteed.
  • the protective cap consists of an elastic material that allows a condom-like mounting the cap on the respective bottleneck.
  • the elastic material for the protective cap should be such that it can be applied to all commonly used in the market beverage bottles with differently shaped bottlenecks, with a protective cap size, without the need for caps with different dimensions are required.
  • the elastic material elastically stretchable with a material such as latex is particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • the cap jacket in the unused state can be rolled up into a ring ring, so that the cap is flat as a coin. This means you can use this flat cap z. B. in a bag or even easily stowed in your wallet, then, if necessary, for. B. in a beer garden to make quick use of it.
  • the liquid-permeable cap lid can have a plurality of recesses, the size of which is dimensioned so that the insects can not penetrate into the bottleneck.
  • the recesses in the cap lid can be obtained as in these punched round holes.
  • the caps are made in different colors and / or with different imprints. This can be helpful for advertising as well as for group events, eg. B. children's birthday, because the latter helps a color design of the protective caps to prevent confusion of beverage bottles. Also, the cover of the beverage bottles is very helpful in general, since at such events, the bottles are left unattended, then at some point to drink again, which may have easily settled in unprotected bottle easily an insect in this in the meantime.
  • a material can be chosen that is naturally degradable.
  • the protective caps are packed airtight.
  • the protective caps can be packed in blister packs and / or paper or cardboard packs.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that it can be easily applied to a bottle opening. By placing the ring this can be stored on the bottle opening and with the other hand, the rubber-like role can be rolled down condom-like on the Falschenhalts. Due to the fact that there are openings in the wrong area, there is no resistance, no vacuum and no bubble. Due to the elastic material, the inventive object lies so close to the Falschenrand or -hals that this object performs a fluid-tight seal.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that for the production of the beverage cap conventional manufacturing methods, such as those known for condom production can be used.
  • the protective cap which consists of cap lid and cap jacket, wherein cap cap and cap jacket are integral, consists of different materials and / or pieces of material.
  • Fig. 1 the upper portion of a beverage bottle 1 is shown in perspective, wherein the beverage bottle 1 consists of a bottle neck 2 and a bottle body 3.
  • a protective cap 4 is mounted like a condom.
  • the protective cap 4 is formed in one piece and essentially subdivides into a cap lid 5 and into a cap casing 6.
  • condom-like should in this case be understood in general terms as follows: A thin elastic shell, which is unilaterally fired with a lid and unwound wound into a ring around the lid. Lid and sheath can form an integral part, so that the protective cap 1 is similar to a condom. In use, the sheath is then removed from the ring e.g. rolled over a cylindrical object so that the envelope surrounds the object and the lid covers the front of the object.
  • one or more liquid-permeable recesses 7 are provided in the cap lid 5, which are formed in the present embodiment as introduced into the cap lid 5 round holes.
  • the size of the recesses 7 is dimensioned so that the insects can not penetrate through this into the bottle neck 2. Proven, for example, holes with a diameter of about 3 mm.
  • the protective cap 4 is made of an elastic material, so that it can be drawn on the bottleneck 2 as far as condom-like, until the cap lid 5 rests tightly on the annular end face of the bottle neck 2.
  • the elasticity of the protective cap 4 allows a simple adaptation to a wide variety of bottle necks, d. h., With respect to their diameter; the latter, however, only as long as it is commercial bottles. It is thus practically only a cap size required for all common beverage bottles. Due to the close contact of the cap lid 5 on the annular end face of the bottle neck, a fluid-tight seal of the cavity located in the bottle is achieved with respect to the environment of the beverage bottle.
  • an elastic material for the cap 4 is z.
  • a material that can stretch sufficiently rubbery preferably latex for the elastic material can be considered.
  • the cap casing 6 is in the unused state of the cap 4 as a ring 8 ( Fig. 2 ) rolled up so that it is flat as a coin together with the cap lid 5 (also comparable to a still packaged condom).
  • a ring 8 Fig. 2
  • the cap lid 5 also comparable to a still packaged condom.
  • the length of the cap skirt 6 is dimensioned such. B. 3 to 5 cm, that this can be easily pulled or rolled over the respective bottleneck 2. It is best possible due to the elasticity of the cap 4, z. B. beads 9 ( Fig. 1 ) and still be satisfied with the remaining bottleneck 2. Furthermore, a remaining uncoiled part 10 (FIG. Fig. 1 and 3 ) remain, the z. B. is not needed in this bottle type.
  • the protective cap 4 according to the invention can be produced in different colors and / or with different imprints, which can be of great advantage as a distinguishing feature, in particular in group events such as children's birthday parties.
  • a rolled-flat protective cap 4 taken in the hand and placed with the underside of its cap lid 5 on the annular end face of the bottle neck 2. Then, the cap skirt 6 is rolled downwards in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the bottle neck 2, specifically over the bead 9 until a close contact of the entire protective cap 4 on the bottle neck 2 is obtained. Thereafter, can be drunk directly from the beverage bottle 1 safely, while the liquid of the beverage bottle 1 runs over the recesses 7 in the mouth of the drinker. Due to the rubber-like design of the protective cap 1, the liquid stored in the bottle can only be dispensed via the recess 7.
  • the cap casing 6 can be rolled up by hand on the bottle neck 2 again until it is present again as a ring 8 and thus the protective cap 4 can be removed from the bottleneck 2 in a flat shape.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is that already known manufacturing methods for condoms for the production of protective caps of the above type are used.
  • the invention is also based on the use of manufacturing processes known for the production of condoms.
  • the use of the known method is thus suitable for producing a protective cap for a bottleneck of beverage bottles in comparison to condoms, but with the addition that the closed area (here: cap lid) has at least one recess in the formation of a hole.
