Definitions

  • Figure l is a sectional view of one form of improved cap-seal
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate various eforms of improved capseals applied to the necks of bottles
  • Figure 6 is an elevational view of the top of a bottle provided with another form of cap-seal according to a modification of the invention.
  • Figure 7 is a side view in elevation of an improved cap-sealing device according to the invention.
  • Figure 8 is an isometric view of part of the cap-sealing device
  • Figure 9 is a diagrammatic partial view, parly in section, illustrating the operation of the device.
  • an improved seal 1 is of substantially cylindrical shape outwardly and is internally provided with a plurality of annular ribs or reinforcements 2. Its sealed upper end is inwardly formed with a thickened part 3 which, though shown solid in the drawing, may be recessed.
  • annular reinforcements 4 are provided externally rather than internally of the cylindrical body of the seal.
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate various forms of bottle necks fitted with improved seals of the type shown in Figure 1. It will be noted that in each of Figures 3 to 5, neck 5, 6 or 7 of the bottle or other container to be sealed has an externally protruding rim or flange 8. At least one inner rib of the seal such as 2 in Figure 3, is adapted to engage under this rim to lock the seal in position so that the seal cannot be removed without destroying or damaging the seal. Thus the seal is tamper-proof.
  • device comprises a pair of shoehorn-like elements 11a and 11b shaped as parts of an inverted funnel.
  • Each element 11a, 11b is secured at the end of a related rod 12 which is mounted for horizontal sliding movement in a support 13, and the latter has set screws 13a extending therethrough to slidably engage in suitable longitudinal grooves (not shown) in the rods 12 to prevent turning of the latter.
  • the funnel element 11a is inclined inwards at a substantial angle whereas funnel element 11b is substantially vertical.
  • Element 11a is narrower than element 11b.
  • the sup port 13 is carried on a vertical post 15 upstanding from a base 14 and, with the latter, defining a stand.
  • a strip 25 adapted to cooperate with a cam 26 secured on the rod 18 so as to rotate said rod in the direction to disengage the strips 19 out of the positions in which they hold funnel elements 11a, 11b in the spread apart condition.
  • a cap-seal 28 is placed around the elements 11a and 11b as shown in Figures 8 and 9, and the top of a bottle to be sealed is inserted between said elements.
  • the lever 20 is then depressed. This causes the elements 11a and lib to be moved apart, thereby expanding the cap-seal 23 and enabling it to pass easily over the top of the bottle, as shown in Figure 9.
  • the elements 11a and 11b are retained in their spread-apart position by the action of the strips 19 which are moved into engagement between the support 13 and the abutments 16.
  • the bottle can be readily removed, by first lifting it so as to disengage the funnel elements from the seal, and then lowering the bottle. On release of the lever 20, the latter is restored to its initial raised position by the spring 27.
  • Counterweights 31 may be secured to the support 13 as indicated in chain lines in Figure 9 in order to retain the rods 12 in their horizontal positions.
  • said means controlled by the operating member for disposing said releasable means in said one position includes a cam member on said shaft and a cam actuating member movable in response to manipulation of said operating member in the direction for moving said pressure member upwardly and operative to then turn said shaft for raising said radial arms out of the paths of said top members so that said rods and elements are then free to be yieldably moved toward each other.
