Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure for sealing the neck of a receptacle, e. g. a bottle, consisting of a shell and a sealing element made from a high polymer substance and located in said shell and comprising a substantially at body portion and an annular rib integral with said body portion and having an inner circumference greater than the inner circumference of the mouth end of the said bottle or receptacle and arranged to face the said mouth end when the closure after the insertion of the sealing element in the shell is applied to the receptacle in question.
  • a receptacle e. g. a bottle, consisting of a shell and a sealing element made from a high polymer substance and located in said shell and comprising a substantially at body portion and an annular rib integral with said body portion and having an inner circumference greater than the inner circumference of the mouth end of the said bottle or receptacle and arranged to face the said mouth end when the closure after the insertion of the sealing element in the shell is applied to the
  • One object of the invention is to provide a closure of the kind referred to by means of which it is possible to obtain a sealing effect of a desired degree when applying the closure to the neck of the container by means of a closing pressure which is considerably lower than the closing pressure hitherto used for applying closures of the said kind to containers, as for instance bottles for beer and mineral water.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a closure for bottles and like containers for carbonated liquids 3 which in the bottles or containers will develop a pressure which is higher than atmospheric pressure, the closure maintaining a permanent sealing effect through a considerably longer time irrespective of whether the bottle A or container is exposed to the influence of variable temperatures below a certain upper limit corresponding to the temperatures used for pasteurization as for instance as to beer.
  • the plasticity of the rib may for instance be so arranged that the rib having e. g. a radial width of one millimeter and the outer diameter of 27 millimeter may be plastically deformed to fill out the space between the shell of the closure and the external surface of the mouth end of the bottle by the operation pressure of the shell against the said rib of about 80 kg.
  • the outer circumferential face of the ribs should preferably, however not necessarily tit closely against an inner circumferential face of the bent cylindrical portion of the shell prior to the attachment of the closure to the container, thus providing for the mutual natural elasticity and, therefore,
  • Fig. 1 is a cross section through a sealing member according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 a sectional view of the neck of a bottle and a closure according to the invention positioned on the top end of the bottle, and
  • the rib is thus capable of permanent plastic deformation by cold flow during the influence of mechanical pressure with which the shell is forced against the annular surface of the rib 1 facing the bottom of the closure when the latter is applied to the container.
