MX2010002078A - Threadable ring having twenty-one inverted grooves. - Google Patents

Abstract

Described is a standard cap with 21 grooves with a similar design in the 21 grooves which may be manufactured in current production equipments so as to avoid equipment costs, the cap being made of a steel material which may be easily removed from bottles with a torque of 6 lbs to 8 lbs, which simultaneously may maintain the sealing properties.

Description

TWO-WAY INVERTED STRUT FIELD OF THE INVENTION The object of this invention is the development of a solution to the high complaints of our customers for the concept of "difficult to open" bottles.

The typical design of the crown originally contains a format of 21 flutes in the sense of the corrugations formed. This original design incorporated steel as the main metal to shape such a crown.

Cap Corona began to investigate how a crown with a design similar to that of 21 flutes could be obtained but that it could be produced with the same equipment that is currently being used throughout the world in the process of crown production.

In addition, obtaining a crown that can be easily opened and in addition to facilitating the assembly of the liner in the processes of production of crowns and in the processes of 'closed of high speed in the lines of bottling of the customers.

And as a complement that when opening the bottles you have a soft touch with the crown so that the final consumer is not hurt.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are basically two main problems in the 21 traditional Twist Off crown that are the feeling of the crown in the hand that is rough when it is turned to open the bottle, and the high torque (lbs) obtained which requires great strength to open the bottle The crown cap has been a special part in the industrial, packaging for being part of the success of the sealing of bottles, idrio in the beverage industry.

This crown is essentially made of metal which is protected by numerous and different configurations of coatings systems according to the client's use, as well as different types of liner plastic material (used as the sealing component) is added to this metal and formed within specific profiles in which they work as a sealing agent.

The typical design of the crown originally contains a format of 21 flutes in the sense of the corrugations formed.

This original design incorporated steel as the main metal to shape such a crown.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A standard 21-peg cap with a similar design is described for the 21 grooves that can be produced in the current production equipment, to avoid cost of equipment, which can be produced with steel material and can be easily removed from the bottles aim a torque of 6 - 8 Ib and that in turn can maintain the sealing properties.

The plug of the present invention makes it possible to ensure that the final distribution of the crowns can give the same critical dimensions of the crown such as height.

The present invention allows that the final dimensions of the crown can be maintained in such a way that they can be easily used both to assemble the plastic liner in the crown production process, as in the customers' closing lines, their cheeks and its closing devices (high speed from 1000 to 1300 bpm), in addition to being able to standardize the crown for the beer industry as well as the beverage industry.

It also allows other crown suppliers to have the opportunity to produce this crown through a license authorized by Corona Plug.

Accompanying the modifications of the crown on the distribution of the 21 inverted peaks found a new balance on the outside of the crown, which increases the contact area of the hand with the crown which results in less effort when opening the bottle and a SOFT TOUCH sensation in the crown.

This modification will allow us to use both ETP and TFS caliber 78 and 80 temper 3; and in the final balance the dimensions of the height of the final crown are maintained.

Claims (4)

CLAIMS Having described the invention as above, the content of the following claims is claimed as property.

1. A cap of 21 peaks with a similar design for the 21 grooves that can be produced in the current production equipment, with steel material characterized because it can be easily removed from the bottles as a target torque of 6 - 8 Ib and that to its Once it can maintain the sealing properties, allowing to ensure that the final distribution of the crowns can give the same critical dimensions of the crown such as height.

2. A 21-peak cap according to claim 1. characterized in that it allows the final dimensions of the crown to be maintained in such a way that they can be easily used as well as to assemble the plastic liner in the crown production process, as in the lines of closed of the customers, his cheeks and his devices of closed (high speed of 1000 to 1300 bpm), besides being able to standardize the crown for the beer industry as well as for the industry of the beverages.

3. A cap of 21 peaks according to claim 1. characterized in that the modifications of the crown on the distribution of the 21 inverted peaks present a balance in the external part of the crown, which increases the contact area of the hand with the crown which results in less effort when opening the bottle and a feeling of soft touch in the crown.

4. A 21-peak cap according to claim 1. characterized in that it allows the use of both and TFS caliber 78 and 80 temper 3 steel, the final dimensions remaining in the final balance.
