Definitions

  • the invention relates to an overcap for a bottle neck having a centre line and a mouth closed by a cork, screw cap, bung or other form of closure to provide a tamper-evidence cover for the closure, wherein the overcap is a cup-shaped film comprising a cap portion having a top part arranged transversely 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, wherein apart from the weakening line the overcap has a smooth or embossed surface.
  • GB-A-835 680 describes a bottle cap in which the edge part is provided with a circumferential tear-off strip which carries on its one side two rows of oblique punches.
  • 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 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 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 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 weakening line 20 Apart from the slit 30 and the incisions 25, the weakening line 20 consists of a longitudinal compressed line having about the same width as have the incisions 25, or is thinner.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective side view of the overcap 10 presented in fig. 2 .
  • One straigth-line section 37 of the slit 35 can be seen as well as the adjacent weakening line part 20 consisting of a thinned compressed line running perpendicular to the centre line 15 of the bottle neck 50.
  • Figure 4 shows the peeling process of a cap portion 4 of an overcap 10 comprising a V-shaped slit 35 in the form of two connected straight-line sections 36, 37 including an acute angle.
  • the closed overcap 10 presented on the left side of fig. 4 corresponds to the overcap 10 shown in figs. 2 and 3 .
  • the opening or peeling process starts from the left figure shown in fig. 4 and ends up on the figure shown on the right side of fig. 4 .
  • the triangle 40 of the skirt portion 8 or the grasping tab 40 is detached from the bottle neck 50 as shown in the second figure from the left side.
  • the direction of detachment is shown by the arrow 70.
