Description

Seal plug.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a plug seal, that is to say a plug of the type conceived and structured in order to ensure the inviolability of the content of a container, ensuring that said content has not suffered any type of handling since filling at the source of the container until the moment when it is acquired by the consumer.

The object of the invention is to obtain a plug I seal that, fulfilling in a fully satisfactory way your function as such a security element, nevertheless allow a Quick and easy opening maneuver of the container to which it is associated.

The invention thus falls within the scope of the injection of plastic materials, and more specifically in that of the Obtaining caps and caps for containers of all kinds.

Background of the invention

The use of plugs-seals are fully generalized, because caps that do not fulfill this function allow subtracting part of the contents of the package, as well as partial filling or totally said container with another product of inferior quality, Always trying to disappoint the consumer.

There is a great diversity in the market of seal plugs, which offer optimal inviolability guarantees, since they are capable of leaving clear evidence that the improper opening of the container prior to the acquisition of the latter by the consumer.

Usually the inviolable character of these seals-seals are achieved by means of strips or tear rings, whose tear inevitably occurs when the initial opening of the cap is performed, evidencing that such an opening has occurred. Sometimes these tear strips come off the rest of the cap prior to the opening maneuver of the same, while in other occasions this occurs simultaneously.

In the field of screw caps is frequent that the unsealing is done automatically, in the own opening maneuver, since the seal materializes in a ring that remains attached to the neck of the container, while the cap is unscrewed or disengaged from the latter, so that a unique maneuver and with a slightly greater effort than it would missing with a cap devoid of seal, the unsealing is achieved of the container

This is not the case with tilting caps, it is say the plugs that close with hinges hinge since in this case it is usually necessary to break a constitutive tongue of the safety seal, tongue that in Many cases are difficult to access due to their size or their situation, which complicates, hinders and lengthens in time its unsealing process.

Description of the invention

The seal cap that the invention proposes, belonging to the second group of those mentioned above, it is tell the type of those who have a tilting lid through of a side hinge, fully solve satisfactory the aforementioned problem, allowing a quick and easy unsealing, which occurs simultaneously at the tilt of the lid.

To do this in the body of the cap, which is equipped with immovable fixing means to the neck of the container and It has a pouring hole, recess is established supero-lateral initially occupied by a fin fixed to said body by means of frangible points, fin in the one that establishes a recess on its inner edge, and in interlocking box functions for a tooth also of interlocking that a cover skirt is provided, opposed to the hinged union hinge of the same to body, skirt destined to lodge between the bottom of the recess of the body and the aforementioned fin, so that in the limit situation of close the skirt of the skirt is locked in the recess of the fin and the lid is disabled from tilting in the sense of opening, so that to carry out this maneuver is necessary insert the nail of one of the fingers on the hand recess that leaves the aforementioned tooth mostly empty, and in the tilt movement of the lid occurs simultaneously, automatic and unavoidable breakage of the frangible points of the fin, with the consequent elimination of the latter which, in seal functions, evidence the manipulation performed on the container

From the described structuring it has been provided that, optionally, the aforementioned fin in functions of seal strip is provided with a tongue for easy grip of it, so that a unsealing the container by removing the fin, pulling of the tongue, before and independently of the opening of the top.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a plug-seal made in accordance with the object of the present invention, which appears in a situation of closing.

Figure 2 .- Shows a perspective similar to that of the previous figure, but in which the cover that assists the plug body appears in initial opening situation, prior to the first closing manipulation of the same and, consequently, with the flap-seal intact.

Figure 3.- Shows a similar representation to figure 1, after unsealing the cap, but this one again in closed position.

Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view similar to figure 1, but in which the tear flap is provided with a tongue to facilitate tearing it before opening the lid.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined and in special figures 1 to 3 can be seen as the plug seal that the invention proposes is constituted, as it is conventional in this type of caps, by means of a body (1) equipped of immovable attachment means to the neck of the container, body (1) provided with a pouring hole (2), centered on its base superior, and to which by means of a lateral hinge (3) joins tiltingly a cover (4) capable of sealing the hole (2) with the collaboration of a central and internal stud (5), as Note especially in Figure 2.

Well, according to the invention, the body (1) incorporates, in opposition to the hinge (3) a recess (6) which simultaneously affects its upper and closed base and its lateral wall within which a fin is established (7) constitutive of the seal, fin (7) that is fixed to the body (1) with the collaboration of frangible lateral points (8) easily breakable

This fin (7) is also provided with a wide recess (9) centered on its lower edge, which configure with the recess itself (6) a recess for the introduction of the fingers of the hand in the opening maneuver of the cap and a locking means for the cover (4) in a closed situation, which It also has a skirt (10), also opposed to the hinge (3) and externally provided with a tooth (11), being skirt (10) and tooth (11) intended to penetrate the housing or recess (6), inside the fin (7) to a limit situation in which the tooth (11) is blocked on the bottom of the recess (9), that is to say on the upper edge of said recessed, in a situation in which the cover (4) is immobilized.

To achieve the maneuver of opening of said cover (4) it is necessary to introduce one of the fingers of the hand in the recess defined by the recess (9) and traction upwards, which brings with it parallel and inevitably the removal of the fin (7), that is the unsealed the cap and consequently the container in its set, as shown in figure (3). However this maneuver can also be performed by acting on a flange top and bulky (12) of the lid, which also forms a remarkable stepping with the fin (7), in which case the tearing of the fin (7) is also produced, now by dragging it by the tooth (11).

As a last alternative, it is planned that optionally the user can delete the fin-seal (7) prior and independently to the lid opening maneuver (4) for which and according to the representation of figure 4 said flap-seal (7) will incorporate a tongue (13), that can adopt the configuration shown in said figure 4 or any other deemed convenient, and in which case the Thickening (12) of the lid will preferably have a interruption (14) in its middle zone to facilitate access to said tongue (13).

In any case and according to the objective of the invention, the sealing of the cap results extraordinarily fast and simple.
