Abstract

A closure for a flask (G) with a spout (19) and a hinged lid (2) has a tamper indicating element (7,8). The tamper indicating element (7,8) consists of a part (7), which is fixed to the flask (G) and a tearable strip (8). Only when the strip (8) is removed, the hinged lid (2) can be lifted from the spout 19).

Description

CONSTRUCTION PROVISION INTRODUCED IN COVER APPLICATION FIELD The present description refers to a constructive arrangement introduced in the lid, which will be used in jars in general, and, more specifically, in jars containing edible oil, and which is provided with means for detecting damage to its opening, thus ensuring total integrity of its content.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various types of covers incorporating means capable of identifying a violation of their opening are already known from the state of the art, which is normally obtained by the use of low resistance lines or small frangible unions, which will be broken at the moment of opening of the lid. However, all these have as a main drawback the fact that the elements of rupture can be, in some cases, regenerated, often in a way up to fairly simple, thus allowing the practice of fraud against the user.

On the other hand, covers currently known from the state of the art incorporate more effective means for the prevention and detection of damage, which is normally obtained through seals formed from removable strips. However, all of these present as a disadvantage the fact that, after the removal of the seal, after the opening of the lid, the permanence of any means that may assist in the retention of the external lower portion of the lid against the outer edge of the neck, since, in the vast majority of cases, this removable strip that constitutes the seal is applied just at the bottom of the lid.

FUNDAMENTALS OF THE MODEL With the intention of overcoming all the drawbacks present in the current techniques was designed a constructive arrangement introduced on top, which is composed of a cylindrical body, provided with an articulated overcap, the said body being inserted, under pressure, on the inside of the neck of the bottle, within which it will be retained by action of an annular stop provided in the lower part of said body. This constructive arrangement provides an area of interference with the surface of the inner edge of the said neck, being further aided by the action of the constituent element of the bottom of said lid, which is presented in the form of a flat disk, on whose surface trapezoidal holes are made, arranged circumferentially, with sides slightly inclined to each other. Said lid has provided, immediately above the stop, a circumferential flange, serving as a flange for the upper edge of the neck, which is also provided with a skirt that will externally cover the upper portion of the neck, having it added to it, removably , the breakable strip, which constitutes the seal of the lid, since said skirt will remain, as after the removal of the seal, helping to retain the lid on the neck, due to its internal points of interference, which will interact with the upper and lower surfaces of the circumferential flange of said cover and with the external radial protrusion of the neck, the closing of said cover being effected through an overcap, by means of a flat hinge, articulated with the aid of the appendix formed in the rear portion of the inner circumferential ring of the lower surface of said overcap, which, in addition to assisting the insertion of the circumference ring l inside the upper edge of the lid, to provide the tightness of the assembly, will also provide flexibility to said hinge flat, which will be done in two stages: in the first the hinge will move in relation to its line of union with the circumferential flange of said lid, and in the second stage, it will move in relation to its line of union with the surface bottom of the overcap, leaving the retention of the overcap, during its closure, reached by the action of the ferrule provided on the upper edge of said lid, which will interact with the circumferential rebite provided in the lower surface of the overcap. This is disposed between the inner circumferential ring of its lower surface and its outer circumferential flange which, during the closure of the assembly, will circumscribe the circumferential ridge provided on the upper surface of the circumferential flange of said cover, being that, for the opening of the said lid, a plurality of triangular ridges arranged in line is provided in the upper portion of a front peripheral segment of the overcap, which projects orthogonally in relation to the periphery thereof.

The constructive arrangement introduced in the cover, proposed in the present model, may still provide, in a constructive variant, the adoption of the constituent element of the bottom of said cover in the form of a conical disc, on the surface of which they are practiced. inclined holes arranged circumferentially.

PREFERRED MODALITY OF THE MODEL In accordance with what the appended figures illustrate, the constructive arrangement introduced in the lid, according to the present proposal, consists of a cylindrical body (1), provided with an articulated cover (2), said insert body being under pressure, in the inner part of the neck (G) of the bottle, inside which it will be retained by the action of an annular stop (3), provided in the lower part of said body. This constructive arrangement provides an area of interference with the surface of the inner edge of said neck, being further aided by the action of the constituent element of the bottom of said lid, which is presented in the form of a flat disk (4), on which its surface trapezoidal holes (5) are made, arranged circumferentially with sides slightly inclined to each other. Said cover has, immediately above the stop, a circumferential flange (6), serving as a flange for the upper edge of the neck, which is also provided with a skirt (7), which will externally cover the upper portion of the neck, having attached to it, removably, the breakable strip (8) that constitutes the seal of the lid, and whose removal is effected by means of the gripping element (9), which, when thrown away, promotes, first, the breaking of the points (10) and (11), and, subsequently, its breaking in relation to said skirt, which will occur along the line of low resistance (12), which unites the seal to the skirt, since said skirt will remain, as after the removal of said seal, in a manner to retain said cover on the neck, in what is aided by its internal points of interference (13), (14) and ( 15), which will interact with surfaces, upper and lower, of the said circumferential wing of the lid, and with the external radial protuberance (P) of the neck, respectively, the closure of the lid being made through said overcap, by means of a flat hinge (16). ), articulated with the aid of an appendix (17), formed in the rear portion of the inner circumferential ring (18) of the lower surface of the overcap, which, in addition to assist in the insertion of said circumferential ring inside the edge top (19) of the lid, to provide the tightness of the assembly, also providing flexibility to said flat hinge, which will be done in two stages: in the first stage, the hinge will move in relation to the joining line (20). ) with the circumferential flange of said lid and, in the second stage, it moves relative to the joining line (21) with the lower surface of said overcap, leaving the retaining the overcap, during its closure, reached by the action of the ferrule (22), provided on said upper edge of the lid, which will interact with the circumferential edging (23), provided on the lower surface of said overcap. This is disposed between said inner circumferential ring of its lower surface and its outer circumferential flange (24), which, during its closure, will rest on the circumferential piping (25), provided on the upper surface of said circumferential flange of the lid, wherein, for opening the lid, a plurality of triangular ridges (26) are provided, arranged, in line, in the upper portion of a peripheral peripheral segment of the overcap, projecting, orthogonally, in relation to the periphery this. The constructive arrangement introduced in the cover, of the present proposal, may still provide, in a constructive variant, the adoption of the constituent element of the bottom of said cover in the form of a conical disc (27), on the surface of which holes are made inclined (28), arranged circumferentially.
