Definitions

  • Safety devices for indicating the fact of opening of various containers and for creating obstacles for re-capping aimed for the unauthorized sale are known in science and technology.
  • the closest by its technical nature is the device of a safety lock for bottles and similar containers, which comprises the filling element, a cylindrical sleeve having an internal ledge to keep the filling element, a cap that is screwed onto the filling element, and the protective ring-shaped tape that interacts with the cover.
  • the ring is divided into two structurally independent identical elements. When the first unscrewing of the cap, the weakened ring seam is broken, and the ring splits into two parts (Patent EP 0711711 , IPC B65D41/34; B65D47/12, 1996).
  • the disadvantage of this device is the possibility of reassembly the safety tape after opening the bottle so that it takes essentially the same initial position; after removal, the cap bears no visible external changes, which allows its re-use for unauthorized sale. Besides, the device does not allow placing additional consumer information on the closure element.
  • AU 585 939 is considered the closest prior art with respect to the subject-matter of claim 1. It discloses a container with a cap opening indicator comprising a container with a neck, a cap detachably connected to the container neck through a screw connection, the opening indicator interacting with the container neck and the container cap and being moveable from a closed position to an open position, wherein the cap is provided with a recess where the opening indicator is located in the closed position, the cap kinetically interacts with the opening indicator enabling them to shift relative to each other, the upper part of the opening indicator is suitable for the application of information signs, upon first opening of the container, the cap moves upward in the open position along the screw connection and the opening indicator shifts upward with respect to the cap along the guide elements from the closed position to the open position, the shift of the opening indicator leads to an irreversible change of the cap appearance through emergence of the upper part of the opening indicator above the upper part of the cap.
  • the objective of the present invention is creation of a device that performs the function of the indicator of opening a removable cap, thus providing containers with reliable protection against unauthorized opening and re-capping.
  • the container may have various external forms. It may be manufactured of a variety of known polymeric materials, metal, glass, etc.
  • a fixed or movable nozzle is installed on the neck of the container.
  • the coupling elements may have the form of teeth, grooves, ribs, or any other known form.
  • the nozzle may be made as a dosing device, a dispenser, a water seal or any other known form.
  • the stored substance or product may be in various aggregated states: a liquid, a powder or granules.
  • the cap is designed to close the neck of the container from the outside.
  • the cap is mounted on the neck of the container by the detachable screw connection to the nozzle. Additionally at the bottom of the cap a stopping control ring may be located. On the top or side part of the cap, opposite the opening indicator, a window or a destroyable member of the body may be located. In addition the cap may have elements (push bars, teeth, guides, etc.) which partially destroy or deform the body of the cap by interacting with the opening indicator. The body of the cap may have a perforated section or a section with a weakened section. On the inside part of the cap guide elements are located which interact with the opening indicator.
  • the cap may be made of materials belonging to the following groups: polymers, metals, glass, etc.
  • the cap comprises a recess whose dimensions must be sufficient to accommodate the opening indicator. Information elements may be also placed in the recess.
  • the opening indicator is made movable and consists of an openable upper part, which bears informational signs, a middle part, which is designed as guide elements which interact with the cap, and a bottom part, which is designed as a working member which interacts with the nozzle.
  • the top of the openable upper part of the opening indicator may serve for placing logos, numeric signs, decorative elements, etc.
  • the upper openable part of the opening indicator may be designed as a sleeve, button or any other known form.
  • the upper part of the opening indicator may be singular or several.
  • the guide elements of the middle part of the opening indicator provide the defined rectilinear or curvilinear movement of the opening indicator with respect to the cap.
  • Guide elements of the opening indicator may be performed in the form of a rod, mobile connection, flexible wall, rod, or have any other known form.
  • the working member of the bottom part of the opening indicator interacts with the nozzle at the neck of the container due to forces of friction or adhesion.
  • the working member of the opening indicator may be made as a plug pressurizing the neck of the container, as coupling elements, as elements of detachable connection of the cap with the neck of container, as teeth or as other similar elements.
  • Parts of the opening indicator may be connected with each other via a rigid connection or mobile connection or detachable connection. Depending on the design version, the opening indicator may move up or rotate relative to the cap.
  • the proposed device operates as follows: in the "closed” position, the cap is located on the neck of the container, the movable operating indicator is located in the recess of the cap, the working member of the opening indicator is in engagement with the nozzle placed on the neck of the container. If the working member is designed in the form of a plug, the latter pressurizes the neck of the container. When opening the container the cap is lifted above the container and set to "open” position. Due to the forces of friction or cohesion, the working member of the opening indicator is retained for some time in the neck of the container, causing the opening indicator to shift with respect to the cap along the guide elements.
  • the irreversible changes in the appearance of the cap after it gets removed provide a reliable protection against unauthorized opening and re-capping of the container.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show the design according to claim 1 in the closed and opening states.
  • the container has a rigidly set nozzle with a water seal, the top of the cap is made with a weakened section, the cap is detachably connected to the nozzle, the backstop is designed as an element advancing from the cap between the cap and the top part of the opening indicator, a guide rod performs the function of the guide elements, the middle and lower parts of the opening indicator are made movable relative to each other, the working member interacts with the neck of the container via the nozzle.
  • Fig. 3-4 show a design not belonging to the present invention according to Example 1 in the closed and open states.
  • the opening indicator obtains its rectilinear mobility from its middle part, made in the corrugated form
  • the working member of the opening indicator is designed as a plug that caps the inside part of the container
  • the cap is installed on the container through the detachable connector
  • the upper part of the cap is designed open
  • all the parts of the opening indicator are designed as one detail
  • the backstop is designed as a stopper between the cap and the top part of the indicator
  • the inside part of the cap contains information.
  • Fig.5-6 show a design not belonging to the present invention according to Example 2 in the closed and open states.
  • the upper part of the opening indicator is presented as a button connected to the cap through a splined joint, the upper and middle parts of the opening indicator are made as one detail, the cap and the indicator are connected with a guide sleeve, a window is made on the outer side of the cap, the controlling locking ring is absent.

  • Figure 2 shows the same container with cap 2 moving upward along screw connection 3 advancing above the neck of container 1.
  • Working member 7 of the opening indicator does not rotate relative to container 1 due to coupling elements 13
  • middle part 5 of the opening indicator lifts top part 4 of the opening indicator from recess 10 along coupling 6, begins to interact with push bar 19, which leads to the destruction of weakened section 9 and the removal of wall of the cap 15.
  • Upper part 4 of the opening indicator with information signs 17 and 18 located thereon rises above cap 2.
  • Backstop 11 breaks coupling 6 between middle part 5 of the opening indicator and cap 2, which prevents upper part 4 of opening indicator from moving down to recess 10. Stopping control ring 12 detaches from cap 2.
  • cap 2 undergoes irreversible changes indicating the opening of the container.
  • Example No. 1 differs by the specific form of implementation of the cap, by the mobility of the indicator, the backstop, the coupling of the parts of the opening indicator with each other.
