Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of closures, in particular fraud-proof closures for bottling high-value liquid products or exclusive brands, usually wines, cognacs, liquors or spirits. Hereinafter, the term “anti-fraud” will be used to denote a filling prevention function that interferes with or signals any re-fraudulent use of the vessel to fill with a liquid other than the original liquid. The term “inviolability” will be used in the function of the “first opening indicator”, which is usually a ribbon or skirt associated with the closure cap of the notch line, also called the “weakening line”, which breaks when first opened.

Despite the large number of known devices, none of these devices is used in practice as an effective means for imparting to the object the function of preventing the filling of vessels equipped with these devices, or in order to make detectable any repeated fraudulent use of the vessel to fill with a liquid other than the initial fluid, due to the fact that these devices are ineffective or completely ineffective, or because they are difficult to manufacture or with partitioning with the vessel.

Since the damage incurred by manufacturers of prestigious brands, such as alcoholic beverages of prestigious brands, is significant, the applicant conducted his research to find the best solution to the problem.

Disclosure of invention

In accordance with the invention, the first object is a device to prevent filling, designed for fixed mounting on the neck of a vessel with liquid and closed with a closure cap, said device being placed on an axis coinciding with the axis of said neck when it is mounted on the latter, characterized in that it has an axial channel for filling said liquid passing through a transverse baffle fixed to the device to prevent filling and fixedly equipped with a series of through channels, wherein each of the through channels connects an external opening oriented outward of the vessel with an internal opening oriented inward of the vessel, the smallest size of said external opening being smaller than the critical size determined depending on the critical surface tension of the material forming said transverse partition, and in which the smallest size of said inner hole exceeds said critical size.

In accordance with the invention, the through channels have a variable cross section, and this cross section can be determined by two extreme values measured along the main directions of the said cross section. This cross section changes from the inside of the vessel to the outside in such a way that the smallest size is reduced to a value less than critical, which depends on many parameters, among which the parameter determining the ability of the liquid to wet the surface of the transverse septum is most important. This critical value also depends on the viscosity of the liquid, and the latter is usually an alcoholic beverage, usually cognac, and almost always manifests itself as a viscous liquid.

Inside a fluid (or solid), the aggregate of binding forces is annulled. However, on the surface, these binding forces have a nonzero resultant force and are directed into the fluid. The surface thus behaves as if it were subjected to external pressure. The surface tension is determined by the force per unit length, it is often expressed in mN / m. The fluids mentioned in the present invention are alcoholic beverages whose critical surface tension is about 50-70 mN / m.

The critical surface stress of a material is related to the wettability of this material. The wetting of the transverse septum depends, first of all, on the surface tension of the liquid and on the critical surface tension of the material forming the transverse septum. Choosing a material whose surface tension is less than the surface tension of the liquid, it is possible to use, as a result, incorrect wetting in order to prevent the passage of liquid in one direction and let it pass in the other.

The critical surface stress of solid substrates can be determined by measuring the contact angle. Rapid determination of approximate values can be obtained through special ink tests (for example, according to ASTM 0 2578/67).

The applicant came to the conclusion that the smallest opening should be controlled first: from the outside the edges and the channel baffle were not wetted or poorly wetted by the mentioned liquid due to the critical surface tension of the material of the transverse baffle, which cannot easily penetrate the through channel. On the contrary, the edges and the inlet of the partition with through channels are easily wetted from the inside: the liquid can penetrate the channel and go through the hole and pour out due to the dynamic effect of the liquid flow and the pressure of the liquid column still in the bottle. It is obvious that the liquid contained in the vessel can easily pour out to the last drop, the smallest size of the outer hole should be smaller, but close to the critical value mentioned.

Preferably, said transverse baffle is made of plastic material with a surface tension in the range of 25 to 50 mN / m, and the smallest size of the outer holes of the through channels is less than 0.7 mm, while the smallest size of the inner holes is greater than 0 , 7 mm. It is also preferred that the smallest outer hole size is less than 0.6 mm, which makes fraud even more difficult. It is preferable that the smallest size of the internal openings is greater than 0.8 mm, which facilitates the outflow of liquid contained in the bottle.

The transverse septum is substantially perpendicular to the axis of said device. Preferably, the central part of the said transverse partition is made in the form of a lattice containing a network of through channels with sections, the shape factor of which, determined by the ratio of the largest to the smallest size, would be less than 2, preferably close to 1. Preferably, to facilitate the outflow, so that the inner holes are square or rectangular.

Said transverse partition may be flat. In this case, all of the through channels mentioned are oriented essentially along the axis. In another embodiment, all the through channels are inclined at an angle α relative to the axial direction of the device, while the angle α is usually from 30 to 60 °. In another embodiment, the said through channels consist of two axial parts communicating with each other, but offset from one another relative to the axis.

Said transverse partition may also be convex and bulge outward, usually in the form of a hemispherical dome. The through channels are thus preferably inclined with respect to the perpendicular direction to said transverse baffle so that they remain substantially parallel to said axial direction.

Such a transverse baffle makes it possible to prevent or at least signal any repeated fraudulent use of the vessel to fill with a liquid different from the original liquid: for fraudulent introduction of this liquid, it is necessary to inject it under pressure while removing the air contained in the bottle. It is only necessary to mechanically act on the said transverse partition, as these efforts necessarily cause the destruction of the said partition. The invention thus becomes particularly advantageous when said transverse baffle is made of sufficiently rigid and brittle material so that any fraudulent attempt to refill said vessel becomes noticeable due to the destruction or damage of all or part of said transverse baffle.

Preferably, said transverse septum is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PTF) or polystyrene (PS), in particular high impact polystyrene (SB) or crystalline polystyrene. Its thickness ranges from 0.5 to 2 mm.

To facilitate the destruction of the device during fraudulent manipulations, a monoblock molded device is used that contains a substantially cylindrical side wall to which the said transverse partition is connected using a plurality of easily destroyed N points. N is selected, preferably, less than 12, with a unit cross section less than 2 mm ^2, preferably less than 1 mm ² . It is preferable that said so-called transverse partition contains in the central part a grating with many through channels, and around the periphery there are many curved slots, the smallest of which is smaller than the critical size, usually for a transverse partition of plastic material less than 0.7 mm and preferably less 0.6 mm. A plurality of curved slots are bounded by a crown connected to said side wall with easily destructible external jumpers, and with said lattice, also easily destructible internal jumpers.

, предпочтительно, меньшим 1 mm².Preferably, each set of internal and external jumpers is evenly distributed and, preferably, is shifted by an angle π / N relative to another set of jumpers. N is selected, preferably, less than 12, with a unit cross section less than 2 mm

preferably less than 1 mm ² .

You can also get a stand-alone connection, which contains the actual closure cap and the device to prevent filling and which can be fixed on the neck in one operation when capping the vessel, usually by axial compression or screwing. Below we will call such a compound “composite closure cap”. To facilitate manipulation of said composite closure cap, said cylindrical wall is made with a diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of said metal skirt, or it is provided with an annular peripheral recess so that the device can be inserted into said shell and connected to the latter, usually by forming sealing ring.

The lower part also contains a transverse wall designed to form an axial stop when fixing said device to prevent filling on said neck, wherein said transverse wall rests on a thin edge of said neck in such a way as to ensure automatic axial positioning of said device relative to the neck during said mounting .

For the purpose called “in bore”, the central part of the lower part preferably contains the axial channel, which carries the said cylindrical wall, provided with at least one annular protrusion, designed to interact with the inner wall of the neck. In the upper part of this axial channel, said transverse wall is placed, resting on the thin edge of the neck, and on which a flexible sponge is mounted, forming a pouring device, usually with a thinned part, forming an annular joint. In many preferred applications, the lower part comprises a central axial part, the upper part is provided with a central wall on which the said transverse baffle is fixed, and the axial casting channel is provided with a fixed connection means, usually an annular inner roller having a significant radial height, and the periphery of the transverse baffle is a side the diameter of which is such that, after axially fitting said upper part onto said lower part, until Since the lower edge of the said central axial wall does not abut against the central part of the lower part, said rim is axially blocked from moving upward by said fixed connection means.

Description of Embodiments

A. Transverse septum (figa, 1b and 2; Fig.5-9, Fig.3, Fig.10 and 11)

Figa shows the characteristics common to all devices for preventing filling according to the invention: the said device has an axis (10) that coincides with the axis of the neck (40) of the vessel when it is fixed on the latter. It has an axial channel (39) for filling said liquid passing through a transverse baffle (6), fixed fixed to said device (3) to prevent filling and provided with many through channels (63). Each of the through channels (63) connects an external opening (60) oriented towards the exit from the vessel with an internal opening (61) oriented inside the vessel. The smallest size of the said outer hole (60) is chosen so that it remains smaller than the critical size determined depending on the critical stress of the surface of the material forming the said transverse partition. On the contrary, the smallest size of said inner hole (61) is selected to exceed said critical size.

The transverse partition (6) is made of plastic material, which has a critical surface stress of 25 to 50 mN / m. The smallest size of said outer hole (60) is less than 0.6 mm, and the smallest size of said inner hole is greater than 0.8 mm. The transverse partition (6) is made in the form of a lattice having a network of through channels having approximately square sections, which gradually decrease from the inside outwards.

The transverse septum (6) is convex and has a convexity directed outward, usually in the form of a hemispherical dome. It is made of sufficiently rigid and brittle material so that any fraudulent attempt to re-fill the vessel is detected due to the destruction or damage of all or part of the said transverse partition.

Preferably, the device and the transverse partition are molded as a single piece from a material such as impact resistant polystyrene or crystalline polystyrene. The axial channel (39) for filling and the transverse partition (6) are connected by bridges (65), the cross section of which is less than 1 mm ² . The transverse partition (6) contains the central part in the form of a lattice equipped with many through channels (63), and along the periphery with many curved slots (64), the smallest size of which is less than 0.6 mm. The aforementioned set of curved slots is bounded by a crown (67) connected to the said axial channel (39) by means of 8 uniformly distributed external bridges (65) and to the aforementioned grid (6) by 8 uniformly distributed internal bridges (66), which are spaced one from the other at an angle π / 8 relative to the external bridges (65).

In the refined examples shown in FIGS. 5-9, the transverse partition (6a) is depicted as flat and perpendicular to the axis as the partitions shown in FIG. 3. The through channels (63) are axial, that is, oriented essentially perpendicular to said transverse partition, as shown in FIG. 3 a). In other embodiments, they are made with a different inclination so as to interfere or at least impede the introduction of a thin object into the vessel. For example, case b) of FIG. 3 shows the channels inclined by an angle α relative to the axial direction (10) of the device (3), while the angle α is usually from 30 to 60 °. In case c), the through channels (63) consist of two axial prismatic parts (630, 631), connected to each other, but offset from one another. The inward-oriented part (631) has a larger cross section. On fig.3d schematically presents a forming tool that allows you to get a transverse partition shown in 3C.

The dashed lines on the “out bore” versions (FIGS. 5–9) show a variant in which the partition is made convex in the shape of a hemispherical dome. Finally, for the in-bore versions, Figures 10 and 11, the transverse partition is made in the form of a toroidal ring or a hemispherical dome without a central part that is occupied by the central axial part (310 ') of the upper part (31') of the device.

B. Attachment to the neck

The set of devices for preventing filling according to the invention has a cylindrical wall (36, 36 ') provided with at least one fixed attachment to said neck.

In these examples, said cylindrical wall (36) has an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the glass thickening, and the non-removable fastening means is a hook (360) interacting with the engagement zone (404) of the anti-ring (403).

B.2 Mounting with a roll-in (Figs. 7, 8 and 9)

In these examples, said cylindrical wall (36) has an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the glass thickening, and said non-removable fastening means comprises at least one metal rim (38) that surrounds said cylindrical wall (36) and is rigidly connected to the latter while said rim is intended for seaming in the engagement zone (404) of the anti-ring (403). The rim (38) is rigidly connected to said cylindrical wall (36) by at least rolling on an upper annular peripheral shoulder (362) adjacent to said cylindrical wall (36).

B.3 Fastening by insertion into the neck (FIGS. 10 and 11)

In these examples, said cylindrical wall (36 ') has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the neck (40), and said non-removable fastening means comprises at least one annular protrusion (334) designed to interact with said inner neck wall, this, when the device has not yet been inserted into the aforementioned neck, its edge is at a distance from the axis (10) in excess of the said inner diameter of the neck. It may contain additional means (7) of fastening to the neck (40), containing either adhesive (70) deposited on the surface of said protrusion (334) (Fig. 10), or one elastomeric toroidal gasket (71) placed on a cylindrical wall ( 36 ') (FIG. 11), or two, to provide a tight seal for said device in said neck (40).

C. Immunity (or indicator of first opening ) (Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11)

With the exception of the example of FIG. 8, in which a simple cap without an inviolability indicator is used, the caps of FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 are composite inviolable caps (1).

The device for preventing filling is equipped with a temporary temporary connection, usually a screw thread (370) (Figs. 4-7 and 9) or a roller (371), for reversible locking (Figs. 10 and 11), designed to interact with the closure cap (2 ) The latter contains a metal shell (20), said metal skirt (200) which is provided with means (204) of an additional temporary hard connection (Fig. 7) or which is articulated with an insert (21) or a cover (21 ') equipped with said additional means of temporary hard connections (214 'in addition to 370, Fig. 4 (a system identical to the examples in Figs. 5, 6, 8 and 9), (214' in addition to 371, Figs. 10 and 11.) Temporary connection of the device to prevent filling and the cap forms ready-to-fit integral cap on the neck vessel.

In the process of capping, the composite cap is placed on the neck by axially pushing the transverse part (34, 34 ′) of the lower part (30, 30 ′) into the thin edge (400) (except for the device of FIG. 4, which is one-piece, and, therefore, it does not have a lower part, but for which the fastening occurs in the same way when making the necessary changes). The “out bore” devices of FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are latched onto a glass thickening. As for other “out bore” devices (FIGS. 7 and 9) and “in bore” devices (FIGS. 10 and 11), the skirt (200) of the metal sheath (20) is rolled up on the connecting zone (404) of the anti-ring (403).

For all of these examples (snap-out “out bore” in FIGS. 4,5 and 6, non-snap-on “out bore” in FIGS. 7 and 9 and “in bore” in FIGS. 10 and 11) skirt (200) of the sheath (20) equipped with an attenuation tape (201). The weakening line (201) is intended to facilitate the first opening of the cap (2) and the formation of an indication of the first opening of the cap (2). It separates the upper part (202) of the shell (20), placed above the line of weakening (201), from the lower part (203) of the shell (20), placed under the said line of weakening.

As for the caps with the snap-out device “out bore” and “in bore”, the lower part (203) has a zone (205), which rolls on the neck to a glass thickening (401). As for the caps with the “out bore” snap-in device, the lower part (203) has a zone (206) that rolls onto the lower part (30) on the outer wall (36) of the annular recess (361).
