Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to to a stopper for closing bottles, namely bottles for spirits, distillates, or wine.
  • stoppers have the disadvantage that the stopper is formed by a head part and further from a conical part of the stopper, which are fixedly and permanently connected.
  • a glass stopper for closing bottles such as for example bottles for spirits, distillates, or wine, which bottles have a circular or non-circular shaped mouth in the neck of the bottle
  • stopper has a base part with a conical part of the stopper and a head part having a basic outer dimension that is at least equal to or bigger than the outer dimension of the neck of the bottle. While these two stopper parts may be fixedly connected using an adhesive or glue material, they may instead advantageously be connected in a manner that allows them to be mechanically detachable from each other.
  • the head part the outer dimension of which may be equal to or greater than the outer dimension of the mouth of the bottle, may be of any shape.
  • the present invention thus enables different design solutions for the shape of the bottle and the stopper.
  • the conical part of the stopper is typically used with an adaptable sealing element that is mounted on the base part of the stopper to effect a seal.
  • a transport securing element is also used to retain the stopper in a sealing position in the neck of the bottle, with examples of suitable the transport sealing elements being thermally-shrinkable capsules, wire stopper fasteners, or other coatings or bandages.
  • the invention is directed to closing bottles of distilled spirits, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may also be used for a stopper for other liquids, such as those for which the material of the bottle, the stopper, and the sealing element must be chemically resistant.
  • the solution of the stopper of the present invention provides the necessary functional safety and repeatability of the sealing effects in beverage bottles for distilled spirits, as well as in bottles intended for other liquids, or optionally for bulk or powdery materials.
  • the solution according to the present invention is within the meaning mentioned above applicable for both glass and non-glass materials for either or both of the stopper and the bottle.
  • an adaptable stopper for closing bottles includes: a base part having a conical part with a head portion mounted thereon; and a head part having a recess located therein which is configured to receive the head portion of the base part, wherein the head part is arranged to have a basic outer dimension that is greater than or equal to an outer dimension of a bottle neck of a bottle into which the adaptable stopper may be inserted.
  • an adaptable stopper for closing bottles includes: a base part having a conical part with a head portion mounted thereon; and a head part having a recess located therein which is configured to receive the head portion of the base part, wherein the head part is arranged to have a basic outer dimension that is greater than or equal to an outer dimension of a bottle neck of a bottle into which the adaptable stopper may be inserted; wherein the head portion of the base part and the recess in the head part are respectively arranged and configured to mechanically engage each other when the head portion of the base part is inserted into the recess in the head part to detachably retain the base part in the head part.
  • the stopper of the present invention thus advantageously provides a head part that is attachable to and detachable from the base part of the stopper. Finally, the stopper of the present invention achieves numerous advantages without incurring any substantial relative disadvantage.
  • FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway side view of a first embodiment base part of a stopper with a head part that is approximately as wide as the neck of a bottle into which the stopper may be inserted;
  • FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view of the first embodiment base part of a stopper illustrated in FIG. 1 with a head part that is substantially wider than the neck of a bottle into which the stopper may be inserted;
