Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reservoir cap.
- This reservoir cap features a cutter inside which a hollow sleeve or cup-shaped element made of a moisture-absorbing material is inserted.
- EP3351486-A1 discloses a reservoir cap with a moisture-absorbing element in accordance with the preamble of appended claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a reservoir cap which is improved compared to those described in the prior art.
- a reservoir cap according to the invention improves protection of the product present in the reservoir from moisture.
- a reservoir cap according to the present invention improves product emptying as compared to the caps described in EP2704962-A1 and EP3351486-A1 .
- a reservoir cap according to the present invention allows increased volumetric capacity of the reservoir as compared with commonly known reservoirs.
- reference number 1 is used to denote, as a whole, a reservoir cap.
- the reservoir cap 1 is configured to be coupled to a neck 4A of a container 4 at an opening 5 thereof.
- the cap 1 comprises a body 3, which defines a cup-shaped portion 9 which is sealed at the bottom thereof by a breakable wall 31.
- the body 3 comprises at least one element 32 for sealing onto the said neck 4A, which can be made from an external surface of the cup-shaped portion 9, whose diameter is sized so as to couple with the internal part of the neck of the container 4 with a slight interference fit and in a sealed manner.
- the body 3 can also feature an abutment 61 intended to come into contact with a front surface of the opening 4A, so as to stop insertion of the body 3 in the opening 4A at a given position.
- the cap 1 comprises a cutter (or shear) 2.
- the cutter 2 is shown schematically in Figures 1 and 2 , but is visible in greater detail in Figures 3 to 5 .
- the said cutter can have a mushroom conformation. It is equipped with a head 20 from which an essentially cylindrical surface 21 extends, which is hollow and - when coupled to the cup-shaped portion 9 - forms (together with at least a part of said cup-shaped portion 9) a reservoir S which can house a product 10.
- the product 10 can be a powder containing one or more of the following: lactic acid cultures, bacteria, vitamins, food supplements for both medical treatment and dietary use etc.
- the cutter 2 slides insides the cup-shaped portion 9 in a sealed manner.
- an area with a larger diameter 63 can be envisaged (for example near the head 20), which is intended to couple with the internal surface of the cup-shaped body with a slight interference fit and in a sealed manner.
- the interference between the cutter and the cup-shaped portion is, in any case, sufficient to allow the cutter to slide axially with respect to the cup-shaped portion when a predetermined pressure is applied to the former.
- the cutter and more specifically a free end of the cylindrical surface 21 thereof, defines a cutting surface 24 of the breakable wall 31.
- the free end 22 of the cutter 2 lies on a plane which is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis A of the cutter, so as to form a blade that facilitates the breakage of the bottom by concentrating the pressure at an individual portion of the free end.
- the cup-shaped portion 9 is configured so that when the cap 1 is positioned on the container 4 and the product is in the reservoir S, the cutter 2 - when pushed forcefully against the breakable wall 31 thereof - detaches the said breakable wall at least partially from the cup-shaped portion 9 resulting in the product falling and therefore entering the container 4 (see Figure 2 ).
- a screw-on lid 40 can be envisaged.
- the lid can advantageously be screwed onto a thread envisaged on the container 4, near the mouth 4A thereof.
- the seal is removed automatically; when the cap is screwed on fully, the seal lowers and breaks on a cone, envisaged on the bottle, which stretches the seal. Once broken, the seal remains on the bottle or attached to the lid 40.
- the lid 40 can press down on the cutter, thereby breaking the bottom 31 of the cup-shaped body.
- the body 3 can be totally enclosed within the container 4 and the lid.
- sealing means can be envisaged which prevent air leakage between the body 3 and the cover 40.
- the said sealing means can comprise a lip 70 protruding from the body 3, which rests on the internal surface of the lid 40, above a threaded portion thereof.
- the lip 70 can allow coupling (by interference fit) of the cup-shaped portion 9 with the lid 40 when the lid 40 is screwed on fully.
- the cup-shaped element (together with the cutter 2 and the lid 40) can be uncoupled from the neck of the bottle 4, to allow direct access to the mouth of the bottle 4.
- the external cylindrical surface 21 of the cutter 2 consists or is formed of at least a first piece 2A, made of a moisture-absorbing material and positioned near the said breakable wall 31, and a second piece 2B, made of plastic and fastened to the first piece, the first and the second piece forming the cutter 2.
- the cutter 2 is formed by a first 2A and a second piece 2B, which are mutually coupled or fastened. Both can have a cup configuration, and the second piece 2B can be fitted onto the first piece 2A.
- the first piece 2A can have an external cylindrical surface endowed with a lowered area R, so that when the second piece 2B is fitted on the first piece 2A in the said lowered area, the cylindrical surface 21 is essentially devoid of steps.
- the term 'essentially devoid of steps' means that the cylindrical surface 21 may have different external diameters in different areas (see the aforesaid area 63), but the connection between the areas with different diameters, in this case, has a taper I which facilitates insertion of the cutter 2 into the cup-shaped body.
- the external surface of the first piece 2A onto which the second piece is fitted may have a smaller diameter than the free surface of the first piece 2A (for example at the lowered area R).
- the area of the internal surface of the first piece 2A where the second piece 2B is fitted can have a smaller diameter than the free internal surface of the first piece 2A.
- At least one seal can be made between the cutter 2 and the cup-shaped portion 9 (for example the part denoted 63) at the coupling between the cup-shaped portion 9 and the second piece 2B.
- a free edge 22 of the first piece 2A can feature a cutting edge configured to facilitate breakage of the breakable wall 31.
- the second piece 2B can feature a protruding flange 103, preferably positioned at the head of the cutter.
- a free edge 101 of the second piece 2B can be tapered and can engage with a groove 102 in the first piece 2A.
- the external part of the first piece 2A can form the said taper I at the groove 102.
- the first and second pieces can be mutually fastened in many ways, for example by snap-coupling, as shown in Figure 4 .
- a mushroom-shaped element 201 can protrude from the top of the second piece 2B and be snap-fitted into a hole 202 made in the top of the first piece 2A.
- the moisture-absorbing material of which the first piece 2A is formed lines the interior of the reservoir (almost) completely. Similarly, no part of the moisture-absorbing material is facing the outside air (remembering that there is a seal in the area 63).
- the first piece 2B (made of plastic or a material that forms a moisture barrier) also protects the moisture-absorbing material from the moisture present between the cap 40 and the cup-shaped portion 9.
- the moisture-absorbing material can be completely dedicated to absorbing the moisture found in the reservoir S, thereby protecting the product 10 housed therewithin.
- the conformation of the cutter 2, and more specifically of the second piece 2B protects the piece 2A from the moisture present in the chamber 80 which forms between the lid 40 and the body 3 (or more generally inside the container 4), improving product conservation.
- the free end 22 of the cutter is made of a thermoplastic material which absorbs moisture. Indeed, it has been found that, in the configuration with an intact breakable bottom 31 and with the cutter 21 in the position in Figure 1 , this is the first area of the cutter that comes into contact with the moisture that transpires from the breakable bottom
- the moisture-absorbing material is essentially stiff, and in any case stiffer than the thermoplastic material of which the cutter is usually made, use thereof in this position improves the 'cutting' of the breakable bottom.
- the second piece 2B is made of a standard plastic material, which does not absorb moisture but rather acts as a barrier thereto.
- the 'conventional plastic material' of which the cutter is made can be one or more of those in the following group: PE-PA-PP.
- the body 3 can be made of one or more of the following plastic materials: PE-PP-SEBS.
- the cap 40 on the other hand, which can be equipped with a seal, can be made of one or more of the following plastic materials: PE-PP-SEBS, compounds.
- an absorbent polymer can be used, preferably a water-absorbent or hygroscopic polymer that can be moulded using conventional techniques.
- the hydro-absorbent or hygroscopic polymer, at room temperature, is in a solid state and has physical characteristics which are comparable or similar to the conventional plastic materials of which the other parts of the cutter are made.
- the said polymer can have comparable (or even greater) hardness than PE-PA-PP etc. in the same environmental conditions.
- the moisture-absorbing polymer may be a plastic compound polymer. This compound polymer is preferably identical to polypropylene and therefore can be recycled therewith.
