DESCRIPTION

Bottle closure device

The present invention relates generally to a cap or closure device for bottles, for example bottles of cosmetic products, such as shampoo and shower gel.

Said cosmetic products, such as shampoo, bubble bath, shower gel, etc., are usually available within shaped bottles and / or tubular elements, which are closed by a respective cap or closing device, said device being said threaded closure on the threaded neck of the bottle or being inserted with pressure on the outside of the neck of the bottle and having an inner seal.

However, in addition to the fact that there are many problems to place such bottles on the shelves of a bathtub or in a shower (due to the limited space with respect to the products placed on the available surfaces of a bathroom), the use of the aforementioned bottles has more significant disadvantages, such as, for example, the accumulation of moisture and water droplets over the entire surface of the bottle, including the lid, which determines poor hygienic conditions and the proliferation of mold and bacteria in the environment, as well as serious difficulties to take the bottle safely and to open the bottle in order to use the product.

In addition, the need is increasingly felt to lighten the structure of the entire bottle and the only closing device, so that production costs are increasingly reduced.

A closure device for bottles having the technical features of the preamble of claim 1 attached is known, for example, from US 2003/121876.

The main object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which makes it possible to lighten the structure of the entire bottle, while offering a pleasant appearance to the product.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which allows a considerable ease to take the bottle, as well as a relevant facility to extract the product contained therein, with respect to the mode of The prior art.

A further object of the invention is to provide a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is extremely ergonomic and is manufactured at low cost, with respect to the prior art.

These and other objects are achieved by means of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the attached claim 1; Other technical features are provided in the subsequent claims.

Advantageously, the closure device according to the invention, which can be threaded on the threaded neck of the bottle or which can be inserted with pressure on the neck of the bottle, allows to simplify the use of the bottles of cosmetic products, asf how to lighten the structure of the closing device and the complete bottle, with advantages both in terms of ease of molding and in terms of reduction of total costs, with respect to the prior art.

In addition, the present invention allows to obtain a lower environmental impact, as well as a notable reduction in the total costs of the package.

The above objects and advantages and others that will be mentioned in the explanation that follows, will be clearer from the following description, which refers to a plurality of preferred embodiments of the closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, in accordance with the present invention, and related drawings attached, in which:

Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, in accordance with the present invention;

Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the invention;

Figure 3 shows a third embodiment of a closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, according to the invention.

With reference to the aforementioned figures, the closure device or cap 10 for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is the object of the present invention, comprises a main body 11 whose lower part is coupled to the threaded neck of the bottle or is pressurized into the neck of said bottle and whose upper part has at least one hole or opening 12 to discharge the cosmetic product.

A shaped appendix 13, which is usually coupled to the main body 11 by means of a hinge-shaped plastic element, also constitutes a cover of the upper part of the body 11 and is used for the hermetic closure of the body 11 and therefore Of the bottle.

Said shaped appendix 13 can have the same shape and / or the same surface of the upper part of the body 11 and can be made as a separate piece or in a piece with said body 11.

In accordance with the present invention, the peripheral part 14, which is part of the body 11 and which extends externally towards the lower part of the body 11 so that it rests completely against the outer wall of the bottle neck, is lightened due to that one or more holes, grooves or shaped through openings 15 are made.

In particular, said holes, slits or through openings 15 can be made in the entire peripheral part 14 or in parts thereof and can have any geometric shape.

Specifically, holes 15 may also be provided whose arrangement creates figures or drawings in the peripheral part 14, in order to improve the pleasant character of the aesthetic appearance of the bottle and / or for fun purposes; said holes or openings 15 may also be made so as to create the shape of a single letter and thereby form whole words throughout the peripheral part 14 of the closure device 10.

In other embodiments of the invention, said through holes, slits or openings 15 may also be made in the upper part of the body 11 and / or in the shaped appendix 13.

Additionally, one or more of said holes, slits or openings 15 can be used as coupling means to place the bottle on a wall.

Said slits or through openings 15 have the advantage of draining water or allowing water and moisture to accumulate in the outer walls and in the bottle cap to flow, due to the normal exposure of the bottle to the water jets, thus avoiding the stagnation of water and humidity and avoiding the formation of mold and / or accumulation of bacteria.

In addition, a safer grip of the bottle is ensured for the user, thus avoiding coffee from the bottle and any coffee from the product contained therein.

Finally, since all the parts of the closing device 10, such as the main body 11, the peripheral part 14 and the shaped appendix 13, can be made of plastic material, such as, for example, ABS and / or PP, being the said parts particularly resistant to water and washable with water, as well as being able to dry quickly and being available in various colors.

The characteristics of the closure device for bottles, for example of cosmetic products, which is the object of the present invention, are clear from the above description, as well as the related advantages are clear.

In particular, the main advantages are the following:

- ease of taking and using the bottle;

- ergonomics and ease of use of the bottle;

- possibility of using the closure device in bottles of different types, shapes and sizes;

- absence of any risk to the user, resulting from any coffee of the product contained within the bottle;

- lightened structure;

- absence of moisture and mold in the bottle;

- ease of molding of the bottle;

- pleasant appearance and possibility of having removable drawings or figures for fun purposes;

- possibility of using the openings as hooking means to hang the bottle;

- low production costs with respect to the prior art;

- low environmental impact;

- low toral costs of the container, with respect to the prior art.

Finally, it is clear that other variations can be made in the closure device of the invention, without

depart from the principles of novelty inherent in the inventive idea as claimed in the appended claims; It is also clear that the practical execution of the invention, the materials, shapes and dimensions of the technical details can be any according to the requirements and these can be replaced by other technically equivalent ones without departing from the relevant scope as defined in the attached claims. .
