Definitions

• the stopper is provided with a mechanism, of the non-refillable type, formed by a landfill, a valve and a gasket or valve seat that allows the liquid to escape, but not the inlet thereof.
• a tube forms a single piece with the non-refillable mechanism, when the tube is attached to the base of the landfill by ultrasonic welding or glue.
• the tube has formed on the inner cylindrical surface, a series of angled anchors, which are housed in a waist that has the neck of the bottle and does not allow the cap to be removed, once placed in the bottle.
• a series of vertical ribs On the inner cylindrical surface of the tube, a series of vertical ribs have been provided that prevent the tube from rotating when placed in the bottle, as opposed to vertical drops that the neck of the bottle has.
• the present invention constitutes an improvement to bottle caps such as those mentioned in Mexican patents Nos. 156456, 165266, 171075 and 176414.
• the present invention relates to bottle caps or containers containing liquids, such as alcoholic beverages, which require a lid of the inviolable type and a non-refillable type mechanism that allows the liquid to flow out of the interior of the bottle, more not so the entrance of the liquid to the bottle.
• BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are several designs of inviolable or non-refillable caps on the market or with these two characteristics combined, which have some flaws, which causes them not to meet the need, every day more important, to protect the contents of the bottles and guarantee to the consumer that the bottle has not been refilled or the original liquid content has been adulterated.
• the object of the invention is to overcome these failures and to provide the bottler with a cap that meets the requirements of having an inviolable screw cap, in combination with an irreplaceable mechanism.
• the design of the screw cap guarantees that, once the cover is screwed into the landfill, it cannot be unscrewed without the lower ring being detached and the latter broken into two parts, making it evident that the cover was previously unscrewed and because of having an overcap which can be of different color to the lid to make the lack of the ring more noticeable.
• a central rod has been placed inside the lid that presses the valve against the seat, making a first closure and a skirt or vertical cylindrical surface that peripherally presses the outlet hole of the landfill liquid, making a Second closure
• thermoplastic resin high heat resistance such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-e ⁇ tirene) or polycarbonate.
• the present invention relates to a particular design of caps for liquids, of the inviolable and non-refillable type whose irrellenability characteristic is achieved by a mechanism consisting of a gasket or valve seat, a valve and a landfill. This mechanism allows the liquid to escape from the bottle and prevents entry into said bottle.
• the valve By pouring the liquid, the valve separates from the seat and when trying to refill the bottle, the valve blocks access to the inside of the bottle.
• a vertical rod has been placed inside the lid that ends at a crosshead that is inserted into an angled vertical valve cavity that rotates the valve, by unscrewing the cap.
• a tube that forms the outer surface of the cap is manufactured with high-strength and flexible flexible terrestrial resins, in order to avoid that the cap can be removed from the neck of the bottle and can be refilled, placing the cap on Your original position.
• the tube has a series of angled anchors in its upper part, which allow it to slide over the neck of the bottle and that are housed in a waist of the bottle, which prevents the cap from being removed once it has been removed. placed on the neck of the bottle.
• the tube also has on its inner surface, a series of vertical nerves that when opposed to a few drops that has the neck of the bottle, prevent the cap from rotating when placed in the bottle.
• the landfill is attached to the upper inner surface of the tube when both parts are welded by ultrasound or by some glue, which firmly fixes the non-refillable mechanism to the tube.
• a vertical rod finished in the form of a crosshead that presses the valve against the seat and at the same time rotates the valve when unscrewing the lid by inserting the crosshead into a angled valve cavity.
• a second closure is made by means of a vertical cylindrical surface of the lid that makes intimate contact with the exterior vertical wall of the landfill where the liquid inside the bottle comes out, blocking this outlet.
• the screw cap has a ring on its lower outer surface adhered to the body of the lid, by means of small ribs or bridges, which are broken by unscrewing the lid for the first time, because the ring has a series of angled teeth in its inner surface that allows the cover to be screwed and prevent the ring from rotating when the cover is unscrewed, as opposed to a series of angled teeth that the landfill has, at the height of the cover ring.
• the vertical cylindrical body of the lid is smaller in diameter than the ring in order to place an overcap of the same diameter of the ring with the possibility, that when molded the cover of a color different from the overcap, the ring becomes more noticeable and when it comes off the cover the lack of the ring becomes more obvious.
• the set of teeth of the ring and the landfill because they are angled allow the cover to be screwed to the landfill, but they prevent turning the ring when unscrewing the cover by opposing the angles of the teeth, which causes the small nerves or bridges to fracture as they continue turning The body of the lid. In this way the inviolability characteristic of the cap is achieved.
• the landfill has in its interior, a concentric tube that aims to guide the valve in its movement on the vertical axis of the plug, when the liquid is poured.
• the dump has formed on the outer cylindrical surface, a rope with two entrances where the lid is screwed.
• the gasket or valve seat has in its upper part, a cylinder with rings on its vertical outer surface that embed on the lower cylindrical surface of the landfill and make a tight seal.
• a series of rings On the lower cylindrical surface of the gasket or valve seat, a series of rings have been placed that make a tight seal, when the cap is fixed, with the inside of the neck of the bottle.
