Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Purpose of the Invention Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sealed body of a carbonated beverage bottle.

Conventional technology A typical Ramune bottle is one in which glass balls are put in the bottle in the bottle manufacturing process, then the bottle mouth is reheated to narrow it, and the balls are enclosed in the bottle.
The sealing body in this case is a sealed ball and a ring-shaped packing that is fitted into the mouth of the bottle.The sealing method is that after the liquid is filled in the liquid filling process, the bottle is turned upside down by the internal pressure of the bottle. Crim on the packing of the mouth and seal it,
Alternatively, the bottle was turned upside down and the liquid was injected and filled to seal it.

As shown in FIG. 2, a sealed body of a Ramune bottle that does not narrow the bottle mouth includes a spout member 20, a ring-shaped packing 21, and a glass ball 22. In this usage, first, put the ball 22 in the bottle 23, and then step 25 inside the bottle mouth 24.
Fit the ring-shaped packing 21 to the
The same as above, but after filling the internal solution, once turn the bottle upside down and let the ball 22 at the bottom of the bottle sink to the bottle mouth 24,
The ball 22 is pressure-bonded to the hole 30 of the ring-shaped packing 21 by the internal pressure of 23 to seal it, or the bottle is turned upside down and the liquid is injected from below to fill the bottle. In the illustrated case, the spout member 20 is formed so as to hang down to the position of the bead 26 of the bottle 23, and the protrusion 28 inside the hanging wall 27 engages with the protrusion 29 on the outer periphery of the bottle mouth 24 to fit into the bottle mouth. Wear
Alternatively, the spout member may be screwed with a left screw. When opening the cap, of course, the ball 22 is pushed down by the cap opening tool. All of the conventional sealing methods or bottles using the sealed body were collected after use, washed and repeatedly used.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When the above conventional sealing method or sealing body is used, as described above, after filling the contents liquid, once the bottle is turned upside down and the ball is crimped to the packing, or the bottle is turned upside down. It was necessary to inject and fill the liquid with a bottle, which made the bottler's carbonated beverage manufacturing process of cleaning, filling the liquid and sealing the bottle while transporting empty bottles complicated, and prevented its speeding up. . Further, the conventional sealing method or sealed body is based on the premise that the bottle is repeatedly used.However, in the case of a bottle containing a ball, the inner surface of the bottle is damaged due to the collision of the ball during the cleaning of the bottle. The strength was extremely reduced, and the explosion of Ramune bottles had been frequent.

Structure of the Invention Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is related to the above-mentioned conventional problems, that is, in the beverage filling process of the carbonated beverage producer's production line, complicated difficulty such as inverting and restoring the bottle. This is to solve the problem of the elimination of unnecessary processes and the recycling of dangerous carbonated beverage bottles, and the outer cylinder wall and the lower end with the protrusions that engage with the protrusions on the outer periphery of the bottle mouth are connected to the bottle mouth. It has an inner cylinder wall that is pressed against the edge and has a groove on the inner surface of the wall, and the spouting member whose connecting upper end is the spouting edge and the outer peripheral surface are pressed against the inner surface of the bottle mouth and the outer periphery of the upper end is A spout that fits in the groove of the spout member, and is vertically installed to hold the sealing ball from the tubular portion whose inner peripheral edge at the lower end is a corner and the lower end of the tubular portion.
A carbonated drink characterized by comprising a packing member composed of a skirt portion whose lower end portion is slightly projected inward, and a ball having a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the packing member tubular portion and held by the skirt portion. It is related to the sealed body of the bottle.

Function In the sealed body of the present invention, the packing member is integrated with the spout member by fitting the protrusion provided on the outer circumference of the upper end of the groove into the inner cylindrical wall of the spout member. Also, if the ball is press-fitted into the lower end of the packing member, which has an inner diameter slightly smaller than the ball diameter of the lower skirt, from below, the inner diameter of the skirt is larger than the diameter of the ball, so that the ball fits into that part. The ball is held by the lower end of the part. In this way, the three are integrated. The integrated product is pressed at once from above into the bottle mouth of the bottle filled with the drinking solution. When the sealing body is crimped to the bottle mouth in this manner, the ball is held by the packing member and is in contact with or close to the sealing position. However, the sealing is completed. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to turn the bottle upside down on the conveyor and bring the ball at the bottom of the bottle to the bottle mouth for pressure bonding as in the conventional case.

As described above, the sealed body of the present invention has a different usage from the conventional sealed body because of its different structure.

In the conventional sealed body shown in FIG. 2, the ball is sealed in a bottle in advance, and after the beverage is poured into the bottle, the bottle is inverted immediately to sink the ball, and the inner pressure of the bottle is pressed against the packing. When the beverage is consumed and it becomes an empty bottle that contains balls, it can be collected, washed, and reused through the same process. It has been used repeatedly.

On the other hand, in the sealed body of the present invention, the spout member 1,
The packing member 2 and the ball 3 are integrated in advance, and the ball 3 is mechanically press-fitted into the skirt portion 11. Therefore, the ball 3 is dropped, that is,
After the bag is opened and the beverage is consumed, even if the beverage is filled upside down and the gas pressure in the bottle does not cause the ball to re-insert into the skirt, it cannot be sealed like a conventional sealed body. Therefore, repeated use of the bottle is impossible. Due to the nature of glass, the strength of the bottle is extremely reduced by one-time use, but according to the present invention, the bottle becomes a one-way type and only a new bottle is used.

Even with the sealed body of the present invention, it is possible to physically remove it from the bottle mouth after use and reuse the bottle, but this is completely problematic in terms of cost and time required for it. It does not become.

Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments of the drawings. The sealing body of the present invention comprises a spout member 1, a packing member 2 and a ball 3.
Consists of. The spout member 1 has a cylindrical shape, and upper ends of the outer cylinder wall 4 and the inner cylinder wall 5 are connected to each other to form a spout edge 1a.
A protrusion 6 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder wall 4 extending to the position of the bead 15 of the bottle, and is engaged with a ridge 8 provided on the outer periphery of the bottle mouth portion 7. There is a groove 9 on the inner periphery of the lower portion of the inner cylindrical wall 5. The packing member 2 comprises a tubular portion 10 and a skirt portion 11,
There is a step 12 on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 10, and a top end thereof is a protrusion 13 protruding outward, which is fitted into the groove 9 of the spout member. The inner diameter of the tubular portion 10 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 3, the inner diameter of the skirt portion 11 is such a size that the ball 3 can be fitted therein, and the lower portion 14 of the skirt portion projects slightly inward to hold the ball 3. . Since the packing member 2 and the ball 3 have such a dimensional relationship, when the bottle is sealed, the ball 3 receives a pressure in the direction of the arrow A and is strongly pressed against the lower end edge of the inside of the cylindrical portion, and the corner a is completely sealed. Done. When pouring out the content liquid, tilt the bottle so that the ball 3 is below the skirt.
14 When pressed against the bottom edge, the outflow of liquid contents may be hindered. This point is similar to the case of the conventional sealing body of FIG. 2, but in this respect, it has been conventionally performed to provide two concave portions, that is, inwardly projecting portions on the bottle shoulder portion. As a result, even when the content liquid is poured out, the ball is stopped between the two protrusions so as not to hinder the outflow of the liquid. Therefore, in the sealed body of the present invention, it is preferable to use a bottle having the same shape as the conventional so-called Ramune bottle. Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, there is an annular recess 16 between the outer cylinder wall 4 and the inner cylinder wall 5, but if there is no problem in strength, elasticity, etc. depending on the material of the spout member, etc. It does not matter if the outer cylinder wall upper inner surface 4a and the inner cylinder wall outer surface 5a are connected to each other without providing such a recess.

Although the spout member 1, the packing member 2 and the ball 3 are integrated in advance and are fitted to the bottle mouth,
In order to integrate these, the packing member 2 is attached to the ball 3, the spout member 1 is attached to the packing member 2,
Press each above and crimp from above. Of course, the inverted packing member 2 and the ball 3 may be pressure bonded to the inverted spout member 1. In the present invention, the ridge and the protrusion are not essentially different from each other. That is, the ridge includes an intermittent one, and the protrusion includes a continuous one.

Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, as in the case of the conventional Ramune bottle, after filling the ball filled in the bottle with the content liquid, the liquid can be turned upside down or by turning the bottle upside down. By filling, it is possible to omit the most troublesome step in the bottling step of bringing it to the bottle mouth portion, particularly the lower end portion of the packing member and pressing it.

Further, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to sequentially add the ball, the packing member, and the spout member to the bottle at the stage before filling the liquid, and they are simply opposed to each other and integrally crimped by the concave and convex fitting. After all, it was only necessary to press-fit and seal this from above. Therefore, the effect of simplifying the bottling process according to the present invention is extremely large.

Furthermore, since the sealed body of the present invention is premised on the fact that the bottle is not repeatedly used, it is possible to prevent the explosion accident of the bottle.
