Description
- The present invention relates to a bottle neck to be sealed by a screw type stopper. The present invention relates to the field of liquid packaging, wherein it is very common to seal the aperture of a container with a stopper as “caps”.
- Such container is an individual object. The container is usually made of plastic, glass or metal material. The container can be a bottle filled with a fluid or a liquid, especially of a food or a cosmetic product.
- Moreover, such bottle comprises a neck at a top part. The neck comprises a peripheral wall and at a top end an aperture through which the bottle is filled and emptied.
- The stopper can be made of metal or plastic material. The stopper is made of one or several piece(s). A plastic stopper is mainly obtained through a molding process. Other parts or elements of the stopper can be created into the plastic piece through a cutting or slitting step during the manufacturing process.
- Such stopper globally has a tubular or cylindrical shaped body closed at its top edge by a roof wall. The stopper body comprises a closure shell attached at its bottom to a tamper band (also called “tamper evident ring”) through a weakness line. Such weakness line is made of bridges, distributed around the closure shell and the tamper band. So the bridges link the closure shell and the tamper band together. Moreover, the bridges are made when molding the stopper or after molding through a cutting step.
- As known, according to a screw type stopper, the closure shell comprises inner thread(s) arranged on the inner side walls. In order to engage the stopper to seal the container, the peripheral wall of the neck comprises outer complementary fixation features, such as outer thread(s). The combination of outer and inner thread(s) allows the stopper to be screwed on the container neck to seal said container and unscrewed for container opening.
- Moreover, the stopper tamper band comprises an inner annular bead, located at a bottom part. Such inner bead cooperates with an outer annular ring outwardly managed on the peripheral wall of the bottle neck, under the outer thread(s). When sealing the bottle by screwing the stopper on the bottle neck, the bead crosses the outer ring and gets engaged in order to lock the tamper band relative to the bottle neck. So, when opening by unscrewing the stopper, the tamper band remains on the bottle neck and only the closure shell is moved up. During unscrewing, the bridges of the weakness line are torn apart from the closure shell until they break, and the closure shell can be moved relative to the tamper band secured on the bottle neck.
- A stopper can also comprise a closure shell with a sealing roof movable from a closing position to an opening position, and reversely. The roof may be separated upon opening but remains preferably connected with the closure shell through a hinge. So such hinge crosses the weakness line and maintains the roof attached to the closure shell when said roof is tilted by the consumer in the opening position.
- During bottle opening, the consumer first unscrews the stopper and the weakness line is broken to separate the closure shell from the tamper band. Then when the inner thread(s) are disengaged from the outer thread(s), the consumer upwardly pushes with a finger, especially the thumb, against an edge of the roof diametrically situated at the opposite of the hinge. So the roof is raised up and the bridges of the weakness line are torn apart from the closure shell, when the roof swings around the hinge. After opening, the roof remains attached thanks to the hinge to the closure shell.
- Known bottle neck comprises a specifically shaped aperture. Especially the aperture comprises a top edge having a roundly shape instead of a sharp top edge, in order to confer a better drinking experience to the consumer when she/he directly drinks with her/his lips in contact with the top edge. So the rounded shape confers a smoother contact to the lips when drinking
- Moreover due to the rounded shape, the top edge is radially protruding relative to the peripheral wall. In other words, the peripheral border of the rounded shape edge comprises a bottom offset relative to the peripheral wall of the bottle neck.
- Thenceforth when opening, the offset makes it more difficult to unscrew the stopper from the bottle neck. Indeed the offset interferes with the inner thread(s) of the stopper, which may cause an angular shift of the stopper relative to the bottle neck and a blockage of the inner thread(s) against the offset.
- An object of the present invention is to improve a bottle neck with a peripheral wall comprising outer thread(s) to engage inner thread(s) of a screw type stopper. The neck also comprises an aperture with a edge with a bottom offset relative to the peripheral wall. Moreover, the peripheral wall of the neck comprises at least one slope located along the offset and over the thread(s), the slope being shaped in an outward inclined way.
- Therefore the bottle neck according to the invention comprises
- a peripheral wall and an aperture, the aperture is delimited inside a top edge of the peripheral wall;
- one or several outer thread(s), the outer thread(s) is located around the peripheral wall, the outer thread(s) has a top end;
- an offset, the offset is located under the top edge and laterally extends from the peripheral wall to a border of the top edge;
- wherein
- the bottle neck comprises one or several slope(s);
- the slope(s) is located along the offset and over the outer thread(s);
- the slope(s) extends from the peripheral wall to the border of the top edge in an outward inclined way.
- According to an embodiment, the top edge has a rounded shape.
- According to a first embodiment, the slope(s) is located over the top end of the outer thread(s); the slope(s) extends in an outward inclined way according to an unscrewing direction of the outer thread(s).
- According to an embodiment, the slope(s) comprises a blend located at a distal end, the blend radially links the distal end to the peripheral wall.
- According to an embodiment, several slopes, the slopes are regularly distributed around the peripheral wall.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the bottle neck further comprises three slopes.
