Definitions

  • the present application describes a metallic screw cap for bottles that comprises a cork section with truncated cone shape joined to the inner surface of the upper end of said cap.
  • the present invention is useful for bottling bottles of wine, spirit drinks, beer, sparkling wine, among others.
  • the metallic screw caps for bottles used until now by the potable liquids industry have an inner liner with disc shape that is inserted into the inner part of the top of the cap intended for sealing the container.
  • the metallic screw cap for bottles described in the present invention allows:
  • An embodiment of the metallic screw cap for bottles comprises a cork section with truncated cone shape, i.e. a truncated cone joined to the inner surface of the top end of said cap.
  • said cork section of the described metallic screw cap can further comprise a cylindrical cork layer between the section with truncated cone shape and the inner surface of the upper end of said cap, and joined to said section and surface.
  • the metallic screw cap described may further comprise a polymeric sealing layer on the inner surface of the top end of the said cap between the cork section with truncated cone shape and the cap.
  • the preferred sealant is silicone.
  • said cork section or the cylindrical layer of cork of described metallic screw cap may be joined to the inner surface of the top end of said cap by means of an adhesive.
  • the adhesive is suitable for food contact; even more preferably, the adhesive may be hot glue or hot melt adhesive, particularly Koramelt 316TM.
  • the polymeric sealant and the adhesive may be of the same material.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical cork layer may be substantially equal, preferably equal to, the inner surface of the top end of said cap.
  • the cork section with truncated cone shape or the cylindrical cork layer of said cap may comprise agglomerated cork in cork granules with a particle size distribution between 0.2-5 mm.
  • the determination of the particle size distribution can be obtained by mechanical screening, for example by the method described in NP 115:1994 (3rd Ed.).
  • the cylindrical cork layer should have a thickness in a range between 1 and 4 mm.
  • the cap further comprises decorations or coatings, namely colors and/or insertion of informative or decorative elements.
  • the cap part made of cork can further comprise decorations, namely colors and/or insertion of informative or decorative elements.
  • the described metallic screw cap may comprise aluminum, among other metallic materials.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is a bottle that comprises any of the described metallic screw caps, preferably a bottle that comprises liquid, in particular wine, spirit drinks, sparkling wine, beer and others.
  • the present embodiment is also useful to create the concept of an obturator composed of a stopper and cap, simultaneously conferring better seal and decoration of the container's neck.
  • This embodiment finds application in glass containers, preferably containing potable liquids such as wine, among others.
  • One of the objectives of the metallic screw cap is to increase the sealing capacity of the cap, preferably made of aluminum with screw, making it resistant to variations and large thermal amplitudes.
  • the metallic material cap with cork stopper allows increasing the lifetime of certain potable liquids in the container, such as wine, as compared to metallic material cap with screw commonly known as “screwcap”, because of the cork's natural properties.
  • the cap now shown is comprised of a metallic material cap, preferably aluminum, in conjunction with a stopper made of cork or cork agglomerate (section with truncated cone shape), preferably in the shape of cork micro surfacing, having a particle size distribution of the granules between 0.5 to 4 mm, and both connected through a suitable adhesive for contact with food, in particular KORAMELT 316TM.
  • the described cap also has the ability to be opened and closed multiple times.
  • the manufacture of this type of container cap comprises the following steps:
  • Surface treatments applied to the stopper are intended to increase the ease of insertion and extraction of this same component of the container's neck.
  • An example is the food innocuous silicone based treatments to facilitate insertion and extraction of the cap.
  • the junction of the stopper with the metal component may be made by the following steps:
  • the manufacture of this type of container cap comprises the following steps:
  • Surface treatments applied to the stopper are intended to increase the ease of insertion and extraction of this same component of the container's neck.
  • One example is the food innocuous silicone based treatments to facilitate insertion and extraction of the cap.
  • the described metallic screw cap improves the sealing properties as well as oxygen transfer and maturation. Compared with the prior art, it thus becomes possible a double seal on the upper part and side of the container, also taking advantage of the natural properties of micro oxygenation of the cork.
  • the disclosed metallic screw cap will specifically benefit all products requiring consistent sealing, as well as micro oxygenation during the storage period, for example in the case of red wines.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flowchart with a processing mode of the cap shown in the present application.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the container's cap with the section with the truncated cone shape inserted.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the cap.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the cap.
  • ( 1 ) represents the metallic screw cap
  • ( 3 ) represents the cork section with truncated cone shape
  • ( 2 ) the cork layer.
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the stopper in which all measurements are showed in mm.
