Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a safety cap with a securing element, in particular, for the pharmaceutical industry, to prevent opening of the container with active substance, especially by children, provided with a securing element, which allows for an identification of any previous opening of the container.
  • caps which allow access to the container's contents, e.g., a medicinal substance, for unauthorised persons. Most often, children are regarded to be such unauthorised persons, therefore, special safety caps are used, the opening of which requires the application of certain force, much exceeding the physical abilities of the child. Additionally, in order to determine whether a given product packaging has previously been opened or tampered with in any other way, various securing elements are applied, the breaking of which alerts that the packaging was tampered with before.
  • a cap with a tampering/opening indicator is the container, known from Patent Description No. EP0421590 , as having a concave top as the opening indicator.
  • the concave top becomes convex in result of the air, which enters the container and compensates the negative pressure, while the change is visible with bare eyes.
  • the container is closed again, there is no mo negative pressure in it, thus it is not possible to "deceive" closure and create the status, corresponding to the original container's closure.
  • Another safety cap known from Patent Description No. WO8902858 , has got an internal, cap sealing element, with an external cover, configured in such a way as to allow its shifting between two locations: the first one, where it freely rotates, and the second one, where it engages with the internal, closing element.
  • the cap has got a tension mechanism, forcing return of the external part from position two back to position one.
  • the closing element becomes relocated or damaged during the shift of the cover from position one to position two.
  • caps with a securing element made directly or indirectly on their internal or external part; the securing element is annular in shape and, while rotating the cap around the container's neck, it catches in various way the neck blocking elements.
  • Patent Description No. KR200410173 reveals a design concept of a cap, the internal part of which engages the external part via a system of teeth, made on the lids, which close both parts, while the lower surface of one part of the cap is provided with a securing, annular tape, which is attached to it.
  • the closure tightness is to be ensured by a gasket, mounted between the cap and the neck, preferably as gasket welded into the neck structure.
  • the safety cap has got, at least, one securing element which, with its thread on its lateral side, engages the thread of the internal closing element and a movable external element, mounted on the internal closing element.
  • the internal closing element and the external element are both in shape of unilaterally closed cylinders with mutually matching locking systems, preferably as splines, oriented towards each other and meshing each other.
  • the splines are preferably located on the oriented towards each other bases of unilaterally closed cylinders and, in their contact, they mesh with each other, at least unilaterally, during rotation of the unilaterally closed cylinders vs. each other.
  • the splines are arranged on the lateral, external surface of the internal closing element and on the lateral, internal surface of the external element.
  • the internal lateral surface of the internal closing element has got a thread, meshed with the thread on the lateral surface of the securing element.
  • the securing element preferably manufactured of soft and deformable plastic, which preferably is LDPE, and in basic shape of unilaterally closed cylinder, pressed onto the neck of a container, especially of a container used in the pharmaceutical industry, and locked on the neck of this container with a locking system, mounted on the internal, lateral surface of the securing element.
  • the locking system assumes the form of, at least, one narrowing, decreasing the cross-section of the open side of the securing element and, at least, one spline, which preferably is a ring on the container's/bottle's neck, where the spline preferably engages with the locking system.
  • a cavity in the base of the securing element in which, at least, one overpress is made, while the central part of the cavity, separated by the overpress, is provided with a cotter pin. It is preferable if the cotter pin assumes the form of an eye, connected with the central part of the cavity.
  • the securing element, the internal closing element and the external element are set up together and delivered to the packaging line, especially of pharmaceutical products, whereby, after the containers are filled with products, the sets are pressed or knocked on the necks of containers in one production operation, thus eliminating the actual series of operations, including the installation of an aluminium insert, the inductive welding of the insert with the container's neck and mechanical or manual closing of the container with the cap.
  • the production line performance increase, while production costs demonstrate a significant decrease, especially the costs associated with packaging container closing operations.
  • the user at first twists the mutually matching internal closing element and the external element, then, using the cotter pin, tears off the internal part of the securing element, separated by the overpress. After the contents of the container are picked up, the internal closing element and the external element are screwed again on the securing element, what ensures further protection of the container against unauthorised access, especially by children.

  • fig. 2 presents a view of the securing element
  • Fig. 3 presents a view of the internal closing element
  • fig. 4 presents a view of the set up together cap elements, according to the invention.
  • the safety cap has got one securing element 1 which, with its thread 2 on its lateral side, meshes with thread 3 of the internal closing element 4 and an external element (5), movable mounted on the internal closing element 4.
  • the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are both in shape of unilaterally closed cylinders with mutually matching locking systems, assuming the form of splines 6, oriented towards each other and meshing each other.
  • the splines 6 are located on the oriented towards each other bases of unilaterally closed cylinders and, in their contact, they mesh with each other, at least unilaterally, during rotation of the cylinders, unilaterally closed vs. each other.
  • the internal lateral surface of the internal closing element has got a thread, meshed with the thread on the lateral surface of the securing element.
  • the securing element 1 is manufactured of soft and deformable plastic - LDPE - and is in basic shape of unilaterally closed cylinder, knocked onto the neck of a container, especially of a container used in the pharmaceutical industry, and locked on the neck of this container with a locking system, mounted on the internal, lateral surface of the securing element.
  • the locking system 7 assumes the form of, at least, one narrowing, decreasing the cross-section of the open side of the securing element 1 and, at least, one spline in the form of a ring 12 on the container's/bottle's neck, where the spline engages with the locking system 7.
  • the cotter pin 10 assumes the form of an eye, connected with the central part of the cavity.
  • the securing element 1, the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are set up together and delivered to the packaging line, especially of pharmaceutical products, whereby, after the containers are filled with products, the sets are pressed or knocked on the necks of containers in one production operation, thus eliminating the actual series of operations, including the installation of an aluminium insert, the inductive welding of the insert with the container's neck and mechanical or manual closing of the container with the cap.
  • the production line performance increases, while production costs demonstrate a significant decrease, especially the costs associated with packaging container closing operations.
  • the user at first twists the mutually matching internal closing element 4 and the external element 5, then, using the cotter pin 10, tears off the internal part of the securing element, separated by the overpress 11 of the securing element 1. After the contents of the container are picked up, the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are screwed again on the securing element 1, what ensures further protection of the container against unauthorised access, especially by children.
  • the safety cap has got one securing element 1 which, with its thread 2 on its lateral side, meshes with thread 3 of the internal closing element 4 and an external element (5), movable mounted on the internal closing element 4.
  • the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are both in shape of unilaterally closed cylinders with mutually matching locking systems, assuming the form of splines 6, oriented towards each other and meshing each other.
  • the splines are arranged on the lateral, external surface of the internal closing element and on the lateral, internal surface of the external element.
  • the internal lateral surface of the internal closing element has got a thread, meshing with the thread on the lateral surface of the securing element.
  • the securing element 1 is manufactured of soft and deformable plastic - LDPE - and is in basic shape of unilaterally closed cylinder, knocked onto the neck of a container, especially of a container used in the pharmaceutical industry, and locked on the neck of this container with a locking system 7, mounted on the internal, lateral surface of the securing element 1.
  • the locking system 7 assumes the form of, at least, one narrowing, decreasing the cross-section of the open side of the securing element 1 and, at least, one spline in the form of a ring 12 on the container's/bottle's neck, where the spline engages with the locking system 7.
  • the securing element 1, the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are set up together and delivered to the packaging line, especially of pharmaceutical products, whereby, after the containers are filled with products, the sets are pressed or knocked on the necks of containers in one production operation, thus eliminating the actual series of operations, including the installation of an aluminium insert, the inductive welding of the insert with the container's neck and mechanical or manual closing of the container with the cap.
  • the production line performance increases, while production costs demonstrate a significant decrease, especially the costs associated with packaging container closing operations.
  • the user at first twists the mutually matching internal closing element 4 and the external element 5, then, using the cotter pin 10, tears off the internal part of the securing element 1, separated by the overpress 9. After the contents of the container are picked up, the internal closing element 4 and the external element 5 are screwed again on the securing element 1, what ensures further protection of the container against unauthorised access, especially by children.
