Description
- The present invention relates to retaining devices or muselets for bottle corks, particularly for sparkling wines, champagne and/or cava corks.
- More particularly, the invention relates to a cap and cage retention assembly for bottle corks made up of a cap or top portion and a closure ring or waist tightening around the neck of the bottle, attached by legs of a metallic wire wraparound cage, comprising several legs, wherein considerable savings have been achieved with respect to the amount of metallic wire used to form said cage, without having any negative effect on the security, firmness and stability of the provided retention.
- Furthermore, the proposed cap and cage retention assembly for bottle corks has been designed to be produced with completely automatic means, providing a very effective retention.
- As is well-known, a retaining device or muselet for bottle corks is essentially made up of three different parts: a top (generally formed by a disc-shaped dished cap with peripheral notches), a metallic wire cage and a wire closure ring or segment formed like a closed ring for being fastened to the neck of the bottle.
- The shape of muselets that have been applied for many years has changed over time and this change has been primarily driven by the application of improvements in production processes, which were initially done by hand and later became semiautomatic or automatic.
- Patent document
FR-B1-2784078 FR-B1-2784078 FR-A-2359784 EP-B1-1634664 orWO-A2009/063526 , mentioned only by way of example of standard solutions, which describe wire cages in which the legs thereof are formed by two twisted strands providing a double loop at the ends thereof, it suffer from the risk of being weak with respect to assuring the stability of the retention, since the single-wire structure of its legs provides only one engaging hook for engaging with the closure ring, which can be released and weaken the functionality of the retaining device or muselet. - Other solutions providing wire cages in which two or more of the legs are formed by single-wire elements are described in patent documents
WO-A-2013/175084 and in theEP-B1-2160339 . In these cases, the portion of engaging hook in the closure ring or closed ring for securing to the bottle has the same risks and deficiencies as in the aforementioned patent document. - In addition, different solutions for forming an effective engaging hook for assuring stability of the retention of the muselet have been proposed over the years. Therefore, various solutions can be cited:
WO-A-2013/068657 (Figures 2 and3 ),ES1042894U Figure 3 ),FR-A-1119674 Figures 4 and 5 ),FR-A-2316181 EP-B1-1760004 (forking of the ends of the legs in the form of an elongated sheet) andEP-B1-0044798 . - In any case, it seems that none of the solutions mentioned in this second group of patent documents can be applied to a retaining device using a wire cage with single-stranded legs such as those disclosed by the first group of patent documents.
- It is precisely the problem of the weakness of the retention provided by said single-wire legs in the cases in which they have been adopted in the past that is approached and solved by the present invention by means of a particular technical rule.
- As indicated above, the invention proposes a cap and cage retention assembly for bottle corks, particularly for champagne and/or cava bottles, characterized in that the metallic wire cage is obtained in single-strand form, using a minimum amount of said metallic wire, but providing effective, very secure and firm retention of the cork to which it is applied.

- at least one fold is configured in said end segment of the arcuate portion, said fold providing a section of wire which is prolonged and arranged adjacent to the end segment and arcuate portion, together configuring a two-wire portion extending at least until being a part thereof adjacent to the surface of the neck of the bottle; and
- the end two-wire portion is facing the neck of the bottle.
- In this manner and starting from a single-wire leg, there is provided at least one double retaining section (two-wire portion) the end part of which is arranged facing the wall of the bottle with respect to which the section of the closure ring or waist is facing or goes around (according to preferred embodiments described below), achieving a very firm grip and highly effective retention given that at least the resistant portion of the loop is formed by two strands, as in conventional solutions, even though it is obtained from a single-wire leg.
- According to a preferred embodiment, after the fold said section of wire is furthermore prolonged by means of a second arcuate portion, which is arranged adjacent to the first bend, going around the closure ring, such that said two-wire portion is prolonged and extends below said closure ring.
- According to yet another embodiment, a free end of the second arcuate portion after the fold is arranged below the double tip or area of the fold and being trapped by same performing retaining functions. By means of this embodiment, the closing and retaining action is even further enhanced, using only one additional reduced wire segment to provide said free end.
- According to a preferred embodiment, said waist or closure ring is formed by a wire having a constant circular section.
- In a possible embodiment, said wire cage is made up of two U-shaped parts, each of which is formed from a folded wire, providing two of said legs and a intermediate portion, and said intermediate portion is configured for resting on a flat peripheral area of said cap, between the dished area of the cap and the skirt, the legs being trapped in said notches in a manner similar to the structure disclosed by said patent document
