Definitions

  • the present invention is relative to a cap for dispensing substances, for example liquid or powered substances, to be kept separate until their application.
  • containers are available on the market, which allow the substances contained therein to be kept separate until their use, when they are mixed. This occurs, for example, in case of conservation of pharmaceutical products, which, if they were sold already mixed and ready to be used, would loose their therapeutic power over a limited amount of time.
  • These containers are usually provided with a bottle closing cap consisting of a capsule, inside which a cylindrical tank is provided, in which a first substance, for example a powdered substance, is contained, which has to be mixed with a second substance, which is contained in the container, for example a liquid substance.
  • This capsule furthermore, is associated with a breaking element, whose top can be pressed, so that a stem of said element penetrates into the tank and so that the lower end of the stem breaks the lower base of the cylindrical tank along at least part of its circular perimeter.
  • a breaking element whose top can be pressed, so that a stem of said element penetrates into the tank and so that the lower end of the stem breaks the lower base of the cylindrical tank along at least part of its circular perimeter.
  • the perimeter of the base of the tank has a membrane, which is advantageously provided with weakening or pre-breaking elements, which make it easier for it to be broken.
  • the capsule is usually connected to the bottle by means of a threaded coupling, so that the bottle can be opened in order to use the product contained therein after the mixture has been formed.
  • the capsule, the tank and the breaking means are manufactured as one single piece.
  • the base of the tank is a separation membrane, which is welded to the tank and is made of a material that is adapted to prevent water vapor from flowing from the outside to the inside of the tank and vice versa.
  • the bottle closing cap according to the present invention can be fitted on bottles having any kind of shape and made of any kind of material; the cap, furthermore, can be used to mix both liquid and powered products.
  • the product contained in the bottle is a liquid product
  • the product contained in the cap is a powered product.
  • One aspect of the present invention is relative to a protection cap having the features set forth in appended claim 1.
  • an embodiment which comprises a closing cap 1 associated with a bottle 2 having a cylindrical shape.
  • the present invention can be equally applied to bottles having different shapes.
  • the separation device is threaded on the inside and, as a consequence, is screwed onto the container.
  • the closing device can be fitted onto the container by applying pressure or in similar manners that can guarantee a tight closing.
  • separation device 3 preferably has an internally hollow cylindrical shape and is provided with an upper portion 31, which forms, on the inside, a tank 4 for a first substance to be mixed with a second substance contained in bottle 2.
  • Said first and second substances can be made up, for example, of a powder, a liquid, a granulate, or other substances to be mixed with a liquid.
  • the device comprises, furthermore, breaking means to break the base of tank, which can be manually activated by applying pressure on the top of said device.
  • Separation device 3 comprises, furthermore, a lower portion 32, which has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the upper portion and is provided with constraint means to constrain it to the container, such as for example an inner thread or, alternatively, pressure constraint means to fit it onto container 2.
  • Said lower portion comprises, if necessary, an annular closing seal of the type normally applied on the caps of beverages contained in plastic bottles.
  • the base of tank 4 can have a membrane, which is welded to an edge 41, which is arranged close to the connection of the upper portion to the lower portion.
  • Said membrane for example, is thermowelded or induction-welded or glued onto said edge, and it is made of a plastic material coupled to an aluminum film.
  • Said membrane when the separation device is closed on bottle 2, separates the first substance contained in tank 4 from the second substance contained in container 2.
  • the membrane hinders a possible passage of water vapor through it and, therefore, avoids an undesired pre-mixing of the two substances, which would cause the product to be ineffective when used.
  • Said tank breaking means comprise a cylindrical piston 33, which is able to slide inside the hollow cylindrical body of the separation device and is provided, on its lower portion, of at least one breaking tip 331.
  • lower portion 32 comprises a plurality of ribs and/or recesses, which are substantially vertically arranged adapted to help the device be handled during the opening and closing operations of the container.
  • the cap according to the present invention comprise a protection capsule 5, which is arranged on said device 3.
  • Said capsule preferably has a shape that is similar to the shape of the device on which it is fitted.
  • Said capsule comprises an upper dome-like portion 51, which is advantageously provided with corrugations that help users grip it.
  • said capsule comprises a lower annular portion 52, which has, on the inside, a thread 53, which can be coupled to a similar thread 321 available on the outside of lower portion 32 of device 3.
  • the thread allows the capsule to be coupled to the separation device.
  • the device according to the present invention works as described below.
  • both the protection capsule and the separation device can be shaped in such a way that inner thread 53, when it is rotated in the given rotation direction, is screwed on device 3, thus pressing on the piston with its dome-like portion. The latter, therefore, moves downwards until the breaking tip penetrates the membrane, thus causing the membrane to almost completely break and the first substance contained in tank 4 to fall by gravity into bottle 2, hence coming into contact with the second substance.
  • Capsule 5 is provided with holding means to hold device 3 therein after the tank inside the device has been opened and the two components have been mixed. Then, the cap is removed, thus removing both the capsule and the device locked therein.
