Definitions

  • the present invention relates to retaining devices or muselets for bottle corks, particularly for sparkling wines, champagne and/or cava corks.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Patent document FR-B1-2784078 discloses a muselet for fixing a champagne bottle cork, in which a simplified construction of said metallic wire cage that is made up of only two different U-shaped parts providing four legs is proposed, each of said different parts being formed from a folded single wire, i.e., a single-wire element, comprising two legs and an intermediate element or portion and with the ends of said legs formed in the shape of a loop for coupling on the closing ring for fastening to the bottle.
  • 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.
  • the cap and cage retention assembly for bottle corks which can be applied to sparkling wine or champagne corks, of the invention, comprises, according to standard construction, the following elements:
  • said engaging hook comprises:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • said waist or closure ring is formed by a wire having a constant circular section.
  • 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 FR-B1-2784078 , so an even greater savings in wire is achieved for forming the box and the construction and application thereof to the cap and cage retention assembly by automatic means is further simplified.
  • the proposed solution prevents the insufficient or ineffective retention problems present in said FR-B1-2784078 .
  • Said folded wire will also preferably be formed by a wire having a constant circular section.
  • Figures 1, 2 , 3 and 4 show a cap and cage retention assembly for bottle corks of sparkling wines, champagne and/or cava, according to the proposal of this invention, showing a cap 1, configured, for example, with a dished central area and provided with a peripheral skirt 2 provided with several notches 4, a waist or closure ring 3 intended for tightening around the neck of the bottle and being fixed thereto and a wire cage 5 comprising attachment legs 7 between said closure ring 3 or waist and said dished cap 1, the end of each of said legs 7 being provided with an engaging hook 9 encircling the section of the waist 3, all according to a well-known or conventional structure.
  • each of said engaging hooks 9 in which the legs 7 are finished comprises a first bent portion, for example an arcuate portion 10, at least partially going around the closure ring 3, said arcuate portion 10 having a end segment 11 located above the closure ring 3, opposite a first bend 10a of said bent portion, which is below said closure ring 3, and there being at least one fold 12 defined in said end segment 11.
  • Said fold 12 provides a section of wire 13 which is arranged adjacent to the end segment 11 and bent arcuate portion 10, forming a two-wire portion 14.
  • Said section of wire 13 extends at least until part of same is adjacent to the surface of the neck of the bottle, such that the two-wire portion is facing the neck of the bottle. Therefore, in this very basic embodiment said two-wire portion has a very effective resistive profile to prevent the loop from coming loose when the closure ring 3 is closed, and for this ring to apply a tensile force on the loops, at the same time.
  • said section of wire 13 is even further prolonged by means of a second arcuate portion 15, adjacent to said first arcuate portion 10, going around the closure ring 3, extending below said ring 3.
  • the two-wire portion 14 therefore extends below the closure ring 3 and next to said first bend 10a.
  • the free end 16 of the section of wire 3 forming the second arcuate portion 15 is furthermore located above the waist 3 and tightened around same.
  • said free end 16 is arranged right below said fold forming a double tip (end of the two-wire portion 14), said free end 16 being trapped by that tip, performing retaining functions.
  • the first arcuate portion 10 goes around the closure ring 3, extending in a loop towards the inside of the cage, and in a second alternative embodiment, said first arcuate portion 10 goes around the closure ring 3, extending in a loop towards the outside of the cage.
  • said cage 5 is made up of two U-shaped parts 6, each of which is formed from a folded wire, providing two of said legs 7 and an intermediate portion 8 configured for resting on a flat peripheral area of said cap 1, between said central dished area of the cap 1 and a perimetric skirt 2 provided with equidistant notches 4, according to a structure similar to the one described in patent document FR-B1-2784078 , but preventing the retention problems of the loops of the cage present in said prior art document.
  • both the closure ring 3 and said folded single-stranded wire used to form the legs 7 is made up of a wire having a constant circular section.
  • said legs 7 of the wire cage are trapped in the notches 4 defined in the skirt 2 of the cap 1, and said intermediate segments are arranged in support on an intermediate flat corona between the dished area 1 of the cap and said skirt 2 thereof.
