Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug of plastic synthetic material, for example PE, adapted to be screwed onto the neck of a container to close the opening.
  • PE plastic synthetic material
  • plastic stopper according to the invention is particularly suitable for closing containers containing soda, mineral water, etc.
  • a cap-shaped plastic cap which is to be mounted on the neck of a container by screwing and having a circular closure wall carried by the bottom of the cap and able to penetrate into said neck, as well as a safety ring connected to said plug by a precut line and neck audit by retaining means.
  • To open a container equipped with such a cap it unscrews the latter, the unscrewing stroke to break the connection at the pre-cut between the safety ring and the cap, and to extract said circular closure wall out of the container neck.
  • the drive force that must exert the cap during unscrewing must be important to allow the breaking of the cutting line and to extract the circular closure wall of the neck of the container.
  • the present invention aims to overcome this disadvantage without significantly increasing the cost of the plug.
  • the synthetic cap in the form of a cap intended to be mounted on the neck of a container by screwing and having a circular inner closure wall carried by the bottom of said cap and able to penetrate in said collar, as well as a safety ring connected to said plug by a precut line and said neck by retaining means, is remarkable in that the portion of said bottom which is in correspondence with the circular inner closure wall is externally raised.
  • the circular shrinkage formed between the raised part and the non-raised part has gripping asperities, in particular diametrical fins integral with the walls of said shrinkage.
  • FIG. 1 Diagrammatically in diametral section a cap of known synthetic material 1, in the form of a cap, mounted on the neck 3 of a container 4 for sealing the opening.
  • the stopper 1 is screwed onto the neck 3 by means of threads 5 and it has a circular internal closure wall 6 carried by the bottom 2 and able to penetrate into said neck 3.
  • the stopper 1 comprises a safety ring 7, connected to the lower part of the stopper 1 by a precut line 8.
  • the part of bottom 2 which is in correspondence with the circular wall 6 of internal closure is externally raised (2A).
  • the bottom of the plug 10 now includes said raised portion 2A and a peripheral portion 2B.
  • the outer surface of the plug 10 is therefore greater than that of the plug 1, so that the manual plug 10 is increased and that the application of the unclogging torque is easier, without that the mass of material used to manufacture the cap is substantially greater.
  • a single large cavity 11 with a smooth wall constituted by the sum of the cavity 12 delimited by the circular inner closure wall 6 and the cavity 13 generated by the raising of the bottom portion 2A. 2.
  • gripping asperities 14 are arranged in the circular recess 15 between the raised portion 2A and the non-raised portion 2B of the bottom 2. Such gripping asperities are diametric fins integral with the walls of the recess 15 .
