US 5,662,232 describes a capsule for a bottle neck, comprising a cap portion, a skirt portion and a tearable guarantee strip connecting said cap portion and said skirt portion. The tearable guarantee strip comprises weakening lines formed respectively at the boundary between the tearable guarantee strip and the cap portion and at the boundary between the tearable guarantee strip and the skirt portion. The tearable guarantee strip further comprises an under weakening line formed at the boundary between the tearable guarantee strip and the skirt portion having a linear compressed part extending along the boundary between the tearable guarantee strip and the skirt portion and saw-tooth-like compressed parts serrating from the linear compressed part into the tearable guarantee strip, wherein the saw-tooth-like compressed parts are compressed to a greater extent than the linear compressed part. - The tear strips or tear bands usually lead to ridges or burrs on the remaining parts of the edge area of the overcap remaining on the bottle neck and hence involve a risk that the skin of a person may be injured.
- The aim of present invention is to avoid the need of use of a knife for cutting away a top part of an overcap to access the cork, screw cap or bung closing the mouth of a bottle neck. A further object of present invention is to provide an overcap, especially one made of aluminium or tin or a polymer coated metallic film made aluminium or tin, in which burrs which would cause any finger to feel pain or to be injured, are not formed after removing a top part of the overcap.
- Said objects of present invention are solved by providing an overcap for a bottle neck having the features described in claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the overcap are described in the claims depending on claim 1.
- The inventive overcap is provided for a tamper-evidence cover of a bottle neck having a centre line and a mouth closed by a cork, screw cap, bung or other form of closure. Said overcap is preferably a cylindrical or conical cup-shaped capsule crimped onto a bottle neck in that the contour of the overcap corresponds to the outer contour of the bottle neck sealed with a cork, screw cap or bung. The overap basically comprises a cap portion at the top of the capsule and a jacket portion to be arranged around the bottle neck. The cylindrical or conical cup-shaped capsule means that the jacket of the overcap has either the form of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone.
- The overcap comprises a cap portion having a top transverse surface running perpendicularly to the centre line and an adjacent short cylindrical skirt, a cylindrical jacket portion adjacent to said skirt of the cap portion and a weakening line between said two portions of the overcap. Apart from the weakening line the overcap has a smooth or embossed outer surface. An embossed surface of the overcap preferably is applied for decorative purposes.
- The weakening line is a circumferential line of the overcap comprising at least a compressed line part and a slit. The compressed line part preferably has the form of a continuous partly circumferential thinning running around the bottle neck. When the capsule is applied to a bottle neck, the weakening line surrounds the bottle neck and runs at least partly perpendicular to the centre line, wherein the slit has a length and a width that allows the introduction of a knife blade or a fingernail.
- A preferred overcap has a slit in the form of a ring segment that is arranged perpendicular to the centre line of the bottle neck and runs along a part of the weakening line. Said slit may have the shape of an oblong hole or window. The slit has a preferred length of between 2 to 30 mm and a preferred width of between 0.2 to 4 mm.
- A further preferred overcap has a slit in a V-shaped form of two straight-line sections including an acute angle, wherein said slit is arranged to form preferably an equilateral triangle of the skirt of the cap portion as a grasping tab protruding from a weakening line part running perpendicularly to the centre line in a direction parallel to the centre line and having a free end directed to the bottom of the overcap, wherein there is a smooth junction between the weakening line lying perpendicularly to the centre line and the straight-line sections of the slit, and the two straight-line sections of the slit have a round transition area between them. This slit has a preferred slitting width of between 0.2 and 4 mm. The width of the V-shaped slit measured in a plan view at the transition area between the slit and the circumferential weakening line part arranged perpendicularly to the centre line preferably measures between 10 mm and the dimension of the diameter of the cap portion.
- In a further preferred embodiment, the weakening line is a continuous circumferential line around the capsule which disconnects the cap portion and the jacket portion of the overcap and comprises a predefined number of longitudinal incisions and/or a perforated line part. Consequently, the weakening line may comprise incisions in the sense of cuts, perforated lines and compressed lines in the sense of thinned lines as well as the broader slit. The weakening line of the overcap comprises preferably between two and six, in particular between one and six,in particular between one and four incisions or cuts having a predefined length. The optimal number of incisions depend on the thickness and the material composition of the film used for the overcap. Apart from said incisions and the slit, the weakening line is a perforated line or preferably a longitudinal compressed line.
- The thickness of the overcap along the compressed line is preferably between 10% and 60% of the film thickness of the overcap lying adjacent to the weakening line.
- When used as tamper-evidence cover of a closed mouth of a bottle, the overcap is crimped onto the bottle neck. When removing the cap portion of the overcap, the jacket portion remains crimped onto the bottle neck.
- The design of the weakening line allows the cap portion of the overcap to be peeled off from the cylindrical jacket portion along the weakening line. The design of the weakening line is preferably such that the peeling can be done by applying a peeling strength of between 1 to 10 N, in particular between 1 and 4 N. Said peeling strength is comparable to the peeling strength used for opening a yoghurt cup.
- The overcap is preferably made of aluminium or tin, or is made of a polymer coated metallic film made of aluminium or tin.
- Apart from the weakening line, the overcap preferably has a film thickness of between 10 µm and 200 µm.
- A further preferred embodiment of the overcap comprises a cap portion whose film thickness is thicker than that of the cylindrical jacket portion. This allows an easier and more efficienct removing of the cap portion of the overcap due to the difference of tearing resistance between the cap and cylindrical jacket portions. Hence, said difference of thickness provides a better efficiency of tearing or breaking the weakening line when the consumer pulls on the cap portion. In this case the film thickness of the cap portion is 30% or more thicker than the cylindrical jacket portion and preferably has a film thickness of between 100 µm and 300µm.
- The overcap is a conical or cylindrical cup-shaped capsule crimped onto a bottle neck in that the contour of the overcap corresponds to the outer contour of the bottle neck with its closure. The overcap is preferably crimped onto the bottle neck using a plastic roller which runs around the overcap placed on the bottle neck and flattens the capsule against the bottle neck.
- The invention will now be described by way of examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1
- shows a perspective view of an overcap having a weakening line comprising a slit in the form of a ring segment along a part of the weakening line;
- Figure 2
- shows a perspective view of an overcap having a weakening line comprising a V-shaped slit;
- Figure 3
- shows a perspective side view of the overcap presented in
fig. 2 ; - Figure 4
- shows the peeling process of a cap portion of an overcap comprising a V-shaped slit;
- Figure 5
- shows the peeling process of a cap portion of an overcap comprising a slit in the form of a ring segment along a part of the weakening line;
Figures 1 to 3 show abottle neck 50 having amouth 55 closed by acork 60 and having anovercap 10 as a tamper-evidence cover. Theovercap 10 is crimped over thebottle neck 50 in a way that its contour corresponds to that of thebottle neck 50, i.e. the inner surface of theovercap 10 is flush with the outer surface of thebottle neck 50. The outer surface of theovercap 10 is smooth except at theweakening line 20. Theovercap 10 comprises acap portion 4 and acylindrical jacket portion 2. Between said twoportions overcap 10 there is a weakeningline 20. Thecap portion 4 is the portion of theovercap 10 at the top of thebottle neck 50 and lies adjacent to themouth 55 of thebottle neck 50 that is closed by acork 60. Thecap portion 4 comprises a toptransverse part 6 and an adjacent shortcylindrical skirt 8 covering a rim of thebottle neck 50. Thecylindrical jacket portion 2 covers an upper part of thebottle neck 50 and is much longer than thecylindrical skirt 8 of thecap portion 4. -
Figure 1 shows anovercap 10 having acircumferential weakening line 20 surrounding thebottle neck 50 perpendicularly to thecentre line 15 of thebottle neck 50. The weakeningline 20 shown infig. 1 comprises aslit 30 in the form of a ring segment running along a part of the weakeningline 20. Theslit 30 has a width that allows the introduction of aknife blade 63. Theslit 30 pierces the whole thickness of theovercap film 10. - The weakening
line 20 shown infig. 1 further has a number oflongitudinal incisions segments 25 running along the weakeningline 20, wherein in the view offig. 1 twoincisions 25 can be identified. Saidincisions 25 encompass the whole thickness of the overcap film, i.e. they run from the outer surface of theovercap 10 through the overcap film until the outer surface of thebottle neck 50. Theincisions 25 have a width that is much smaller than that of theslit 30, wherein the width of theincisions 25 amounts typically to about 0.05 mm to 0.8 mm. - Apart from the
slit 30 and theincisions 25, the weakeningline 20 consists of a longitudinal compressed line having about the same width as have theincisions 25, or is thinner. -
Figure 2 shows anovercap 10 having acircumferential weakening line 20 partly surrounding thebottle neck 50 perpendicularly to thecentre line 15 of thebottle neck 50 and having a V-shapedslit 35 in the form of two connected straight-line sections line 20 is formed by a partially circumferential line running perpendicularly to thecentre line 15 consisting of a thinned/ compressed line part and aslit 35 having a length and width for introducing aknife blade 63 or afinger nail 65. Said slit 35 forms an equilateral triangle of theskirt 8 of thecap portion 4 as a graspingtab 40 protruding from saidweakening line part 20 running perpendicularly to thecentre line 15 in a direction parallel to thecentre line 15 of thebottle neck 50 and having afree end 42 directed to the bottom 11 of theovercap 10. The junction between the partiallycircumferential weakening line 20 consisting of a compressed line running perpendicularly to thecentre line 15 and the straight-line sections slit 35 as well as the junction between the two straight-line sections free end 42 of the graspingtab 40 are smooth and show a round transition area. The graspingtab 40 lies free, i.e. is not bonded to thebottle neck 50, but is close-fitted to thebottle neck 50 due to the stiffness of the overcap material. Theslit 35 has a width that allows the introduction of afingernail 65 to detach the graspingtab 40 from thebottle neck 50. Theslit 35 encompasses the whole thickness of the overcap film. -
Figure 3 shows a perspective side view of theovercap 10 presented infig. 2 . One straigth-line section 37 of theslit 35 can be seen as well as the adjacentweakening line part 20 consisting of a thinned compressed line running perpendicular to thecentre line 15 of thebottle neck 50. -
Figure 4 shows the peeling process of acap portion 4 of anovercap 10 comprising a V-shapedslit 35 in the form of two connected straight-line sections closed overcap 10 presented on the left side offig. 4 corresponds to theovercap 10 shown infigs. 2 and 3 . The opening or peeling process starts from the left figure shown infig. 4 and ends up on the figure shown on the right side offig. 4 . In a first step, thetriangle 40 of theskirt portion 8 or the graspingtab 40 is detached from thebottle neck 50 as shown in the second figure from the left side. The direction of detachment is shown by thearrow 70. In a second step, thecap portion 4 is peeled off from thecylindrical jacket 2 by raising the graspingtab 40 as shown in the third figure from the left side. The peeling process is continued until thewhole cap portion 4 is detached from thejacket portion 2 as shown in the figure on the right side offig. 4 . The moving direction of the hand used for peeling off thecap portion 4 of theovercap 10 is shown byarrows 70. -
Figure 5 shows the peeling process of acap portion 4 of anovercap 10 comprising aslit 30 in the form of a ring segment along a part of the weakeningline 20. Theclosed overcap 10 presented on the left side offig. 5 mainly corresponds to theovercap 10 shown infig. 1 . For peeling off thecap portion 4 from the jacket portion 2 aknife blade 63 is introduced into theslit 30 in the form of a ring segment along the weakeningline 20 and theknife blade 63 is then raised in the direction of thearrow 70 in order to peel off thecap portion 4 from thejacket portion 2 until thecap portion 4 is fully detached from thejacket portion 2 as shown on the right drawing offig. 5 .
