Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottle capping device in which a first substance is contained which must be mixed with a second substance contained in the bottle which must be kept separate from one another until the moment in which they are used, when they must be mixed together.
  • the mixing operation normally takes place by opening the bottom of the capsule or of the housing of the capping device in which the first substance is located, which falls into the bottle, becoming mixed with the second substance.
  • patent EP2922767 in the name of the same applicant describes a tapping device for a bottle comprising an outer concave cap comprising an edge portion adapted to seal the mouth of the bottle and a deformable concave upper portion.
  • a chamber is envisaged inside such device for containing said first substance closed at the bottom by a heat-sealed film.
  • the device further comprises an element for breaking such film of the chamber comprising a stem which, at the upper end thereof, is attached to the inside of the mentioned deformable portion of the cap and is able to move downwards after pressure has been applied on said deformable portion of the cap.
  • Such breakage element has at the lower end thereof teeth that can break said film.
  • Patent EP3110389B1 (Montefarmaco) describes a bottle comprising a container of a fluid and a dosing cap for a soluble substance in said container. Said soluble substance being stored in a frangible capsule housed in a relevant seat inside said dosing cap at the mouth portion of said container.
  • the upper portion of the cap comprises side walls for the lateral containment of said capsule and an upper roof portion for the upper containment of said capsule which is movable under the manual action of a user between a raised rest position, in which it is in contact without compression against said capsule, and a lowered work position in which it compresses said capsule in a collapsed configuration, breaking it and making it release its contents into the container.
  • the side walls are configured so that during the compression of said upper roof portion they do not penetrate into said dosing cap, passing from a substantially stretched configuration when said upper roof portion is in the raised position, to a configuration that is substantially folded onto itself towards the outside when said upper roof portion is in the lowered position.
  • Patent EP2697135 (Lameplast) describes a bottle having a container for containing a liquid substance and a closing cap for such container. Between the cap and the stopper of the container a capsule is provided containing the second powdered substance to be mixed with the first liquid contained in the container and a coupling bushing of the capsule to the mouth of the container.
  • the cap is internally concave and when it is coupled to the mouth of the container it houses also the mouth and the capsule therein.
  • the latter is of the so-called "blisterable" type, i.e. with a crushable dome and a flat bottom that is frangible due to the pressure of the dome.
  • the cap is provided with a presser cylinder which when pushed by the user penetrates into the cap and crushes the dome of the capsule making the bottom thereof break.
  • EP2720617 describes a container unit, more specifically a container unit comprising: a container for storing a sample of fabric, said container comprising a bottom, a lid adapted to engage with said container.
  • the lid comprises an upper element comprising a receptacle adapted to contain a preservation agent, a gasket for sealing said receptacle, a perforation element for breaking the seal which moves downwards.
  • the container unit has a first and a second position, in the first position the container is isolated from the receptacle and in the second position fluid communication is provided between the recipient and the container.
  • the invention further relates to a method for preserving a tissue sample.
  • Patent application WO2007050026 describes a two-compartment container for adding a first component to a second component.
  • Such container comprises
  • the depression of said flexible dome causes the intact upper layer of the first compartment to be pushed against the lower layer of the first compartment, breaking the lower layer without using a punch and without breaking the upper layer, releasing the first component into the second compartment without opening a compartment outside the container.
  • Said first compound is sensitive to humidity, both the upper and lower layers are made with a sheet of aluminium, and the upper layer is thicker than the lower one. Furthermore, said first compartment comprises an aluminium sheet with a lacquered surface inside, and a plastic layer on the outside.
  • cap or capping device requires a special pressure device (piston, stem) to pierce the capsule.
  • the present invention proposes a tapping device for a bottle that is simple and effective at the same time.
  • An aspect of the present invention relates to a tapping device for a bottle having the characteristics of the appended claim 1.
  • tapping device 2 is illustrated, which is associated with a bottle 3 for example with a cylindrical shape.
  • the present invention can be equivalently applicable to bottles with different shapes.
  • first and second substances can be for example comprised by powder, liquid, granulate or other substances to be mixed with liquid.
  • the tapping device comprises an innerly hollow cylindrical portion 21 and a concave upper portion 22, preferably cap shaped, so as to create inside the same a cavity to contain a first substance to be mixed with a second substance present within the bottle.
  • the internal cylindrical portion comprises a thread 23 screwed onto a corresponding thread 31 provided on the mouth of the bottle 3.
  • a waffle 4 is housed containing the first substance.
  • the waffle is a package, made by means of a polycoupled material used mainly for pharmaceutical products. It generally comprises a base 41, for example of heat-sealed aluminium, and a dome 42, for example of transparent plastic material, coupled together so as to form a housing in which the first substance is contained.
  • a base 41 for example of heat-sealed aluminium
  • a dome 42 for example of transparent plastic material, coupled together so as to form a housing in which the first substance is contained.
  • both the base and the dome can be made of aluminium.
  • the waffle is housed inside the cavity of the device by matching the upper annular edge 411 of the base 41 with a corresponding annular edge inside the cylindrical portion of the device. In this way, the waffle is positioned with its domed part 42 inside the cap 21 of the device.
  • annular gasket 5 is placed between the device and the mouth of the bottle to guarantee the seal with the liquid present in the bottle.
  • Such lower cylindrical portion of the device possibly comprises an annular closure seal 25 with the bottle, of the type of those present on the caps of drinks contained in plastic bottles.
  • the concave portion 22 is made of a flexible material which when pressed squeezes the dome 42 of the waffle, which in turn breaks the base 41, freeing the content of the waffle itself which falls within the bottle.
  • a small punch 26 is provided above the concave portion, said small punch facing towards the inside of the cavity, and penetrating the same cavity, which helps to fracture the lower closure element.
  • Such punch is preferably made with a cross-shaped structure formed by two walls crossing each other.
  • the lower portion 22 comprises a plurality of ribs and/or grooves, substantially arranged vertically, adapted to facilitate the handling of the device during the container opening and closing operation.
  • the device according to the present invention operates in the following way.
  • the assembly step of the device on the bottle illustrated in figure 2 provides for the insertion of the waffle in the inner cavity of the concave portion, keeping the device in an inverted position. Subsequently, the gasket is inserted and the device is coupled to the bottle.
  • the first operation to perform is a pressure on the top of the device ( figure 3b ), in order to fracture the base of the waffle, letting the first substance fall within the bottle. Then the bottle ( figure 3c ) is shaken to mix the two substances and form a uniform mixture and finally the tapping device ( figure 3d ) is unscrewed for using such mixture.
