Abstract

Closure for bottles, in which a neck with an annular expansion is defined in correspondence with its mouth, mouth for receiving a cork, characterized in that said cork has an annular expansion in correspondence with its upper extremity, formally and dimensionally adapted to the external radius of the mouth of the neck of the bottle, having provided that the cork is complemented with a cord, which is tied by lacing the annular expansion that is defined at the mouth of the neck of the bottle, to extend over the external surface of the cork, forming loops in the shape of a cross, fixing the two ends of the cord together by knotting on the central area of the upper base of the cork, cord ends that are embedded in a sealing wax.

Description

Bottle closure

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a closing device for glass bottles, such as bottles of olive oil, although it is equally applicable to another type of glass bottles intended to store others products.

The object of the invention is to provide a Hermetic closure, with an extremely attractive finish for the consumer and through which the opening of the container is evidenced, and that can additionally serve as an informational support medium for product content.

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention, various types of bottle closures are known, the most common being the use of cork stoppers or plastic, which, in order to prevent, or where appropriate, evidence the opening them are complemented with a seal, as you can be a capsule that covers said cap.

This type of seals have a little appearance striking, which makes them monotonous for the consumer, not defining a differentiating element of the product, regardless of whether you choose very different colors.

Finally, it should be noted that type of packaging is usually accompanied by a informative mini-pamphlet about characteristics of the contained product, which is fixed to a cord, which is inserted in the neck of the bottle.

This type of fixation is clearly unstable, so it is common for transport and bottle handling any of these mini-pamphlets detach from the bottle to which are associated, being able to get lost, with the negative impact that this can suppose from a point of view commercial.

Description of the invention

The closure for bottles that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, based on a simple solution but of great efficiency, so that with it a very close closure is achieved colorful and attractive to the consumer, defining an element differentiator with respect to the rest of bottle closures, all this with a structuring that makes the same, although once open record that it has been opened, you can Close again if the consumer considers it convenient.

To do this, and more specifically, the closure which is recommended, being of the type based on the participation of a cork as the main closing element, centers its characteristics in the fact that said cork presents a annular expansion in correspondence with its upper limb, formally and dimensionally adequate to the external radius of the mouth of the neck of the bottle, in order to be flush with it in the moment of its implantation.

Said cork is complemented by a cord, the which is tied to the annular expansion that is defined at the mouth from the neck of the bottle, to spread over the surface external cork, forming cross-shaped ties, for finally the two ends of the cord tie each other over the central area of the upper base of the cork, ends of the cord so that the loose ends will be fixed by a seal sealing that will be arranged on the upper base of the cap.

In a second embodiment variant, the these ends will be of sufficient length to extend inferiorly on the neck of the bottle and fix to the body of the same by sealing, having introduced previously on the neck of the bottle an associated closed cord to an informational mini-pamphlet about characteristics of the product contained, so that it remains fully linked to the closure of the bottle, preventing its extraction or loss if it has not been previously carried out of the main cord with respect to the sealed seal.

In this way a closure is achieved for extremely attractive bottles for the consumer, with a structure simple but very bright, which clearly demonstrates the opening of it.

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 an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view in which you can see the cork that participates in the closure for bottles of the invention, together with the cord in seal functions, in an initial phase of assembly.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of a bottle on which the cork of the figure has been implanted inside, arranged on the cork / neck assembly of the bottle the loop of figure 1.

Figure 3.- Shows a view similar to that of Figure 2, but corresponding to a second phase in the sealing the bottle, and in which the bottle appears rotated 90º.

Figure 4.- Shows a view similar to that of Figure 3, but corresponding to a third phase in the sealed the bottle.

Figure 5.- Shows a view similar to that of Figure 4, but corresponding to a fourth phase in the sealing Of the bottle.

Figure 6.- Shows a view similar to that of Figure 5, but corresponding to a fifth phase in the sealing Of the bottle.

Figure 7.- Shows a view similar to that of the previous figures, but corresponding to the bottle in the phase end of sealing.

Figure 8.- Shows a view similar to that of Figure 7, but corresponding to a variant embodiment in which the sealed seal is arranged on the neck of the bottle.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the closure for bottles that is recommended is constituted from a cork (1), in which its limb upper (2) has an annular expansion, of diameter according to outer diameter of the annular expansion defined in the mouth (3) of the neck (4) of the bottle (5), in order to fit flush with it.

In the closure a cord (6) participates on the that a loop is made (7) prior implantation on the whole neck / cork, as shown in figure 2, so that said loop (7) is tied to the annular expansion defined in the mouth (3) of the neck (4) of the bottle (5), leaving its branch upper (8) arranged on the upper base of the cork, in radial arrangement on it.

Well, once said tie is tight, the ends (9) thereof extend superiorly over the branch upper (8) to cross (10) each other in the center of the base upper of the cork, forming 90º, and extend inferiorly on the side walls that define the cork / mouthpiece assembly of the bottle, so that with one of these branches a second loop (11) leaving the new ends (12) arranged inferiorly, inside the ties (7-11), of so that these again extend superiorly, such as shows figure 6 to fix each other by means of a knot (13) in the center of the upper base of the cork, so that on said base a sealing seal (16) is arranged, as shown in the figure 7, so that the aforementioned cord cannot be manipulated without remaining evidence of such manipulation.

Optionally, and as shown in Figure 8, said sealing seal (16) may be disposed on the lower zone of the neck of the bottle, so that, previously it is introduced on the neck (4) of the bottle a closed cord (14) with a mini-pamphlet (15) with product information contained in the bottle, then proceed to extend the two ends (12) above the closed cord (14), and to be fixed these on the body of the bottle by sealing, with the seal manufacturer.

In this way, and when the cord is closed (14) below the ends (12), said mini-pamphlet (15) it is impossible to be detach from the bottle, or at least until such time as remove the seal that defines the cord (6).

Claims (3)

1. Bottle closure, in which a neck is defined with an annular expansion in correspondence with its mouth, a mouth intended to receive a cork, characterized in that said cork has an annular expansion in correspondence with its upper limb, formally and dimensionally appropriate to the external radius of the mouth of the bottle neck, the cork being provided to be complemented with a cord, which is tied by means of a loop to the annular expansion defined in the mouth of the bottle neck, to extend over the external surface of the cork, forming cross-shaped ties, fixing the two ends of the cord together by knotting over the central area of the upper base of the cork, ends of the cord that are embedded in a sealing seal. 2.
