Description

Closure cap.
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a closure cap.
More particularly, the invention relates to a closure cap for a beverage container, such as a bottle.
BACKGROUND TO INVENTION
Conventionally fire extinguisher units are used to quench and extinguish fires in buildings, on aircraft, in vehicles, in domestic premises or wherever else required.
When fires in motor vehicles or in domestic premises are to be extinguished, it often happens that the fire extinguisher unit available on site (if there is one available) has not been checked and is ineffective when required for use. As a result any fire to be extinguished, carries on in uncontrolled fashion, often with devastating consequences. This applies in particular in the case of motor vehicles when a short circuit causes a fire to be created anywhere in the vehicle and rapid quenching is imperative to prevent spreading of the fire and explosion due to the highly inflammable fuel carried by the vehicle.
Normally containers, such as bottles with carbonated beverages, are present in buildings, such as in domestic homes, in vehicles or elsewhere.
It is an object of the invention to suggest a closure cap for such containers which can be used to provide a spray of liquid for extinguishing a fire. SUMMARY OF INVENTION
According to the invention, a closure cap for a container, such as a bottle, containing carbonized liquid, such as a beverage, includes a depending skirt open at one end and closed at its opposite end by way of a disc, the skirt being provided with a formation, such as an internal screw thread, for attachment to a neck of a container, is characterized thereby that a spraying nozzle having a flow passage is provided associated with the disc for spraying liquid from a container.
The spraying nozzle may be closable by way of a removable nozzle cover.
The spraying nozzle may stand proud of the disc opposite to the skirt.
The spraying nozzle may extend from the disc internally in the skirt.
The spraying nozzle may include a deflector plate supported by supporting means relative to the disc and spaced away from an outlet aperture provided in the disc.
The nozzle cover may be hingedly connected relative to the skirt to cover the deflector plate or nozzle.
The nozzle cover may be integrally formed with the skirt.
The nozzle cover may have a rim on its side facing the disc and the disc has a complementary formation for frictionally holding the rim when engaged therewith.
The supporting means may include a number of spaced apart legs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
Referring to Figure 1 , a closure cap in accordance with the invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 10, is shown. The cap 10 has a depending skirt 12 being open on one side and having an integrally formed cover disc 14 on the opposite side. From the disc 14 a nozzle tube 16 with a nozzle passage 18 extends.
On the inside of the skirt 12 there is provided a locking formation 20 to lock onto a container or bottle. This locking formation 20 may be in the form of an internal screw thread to cooperate with an external screw thread on the neck of a bottle.
Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a closure cap 22 in accordance with the invention. In this case the closure cap 22 has a depending skirt 24 open on one side and with an integrally formed disc 26 on the opposite side.
A nozzle tube 28 is fitted into an aperture 30 in the disc 26 and its passage 32 is closed by a removable nozzle cover 34.
On the inside of the skirt 24 an internal thread formation 36 is provided to cooperate with an external screw thread on the neck of a bottle. Figure 3 shows the use of the closure cap 10 or 20 on a conventional carbonised beverage bottle 38.
Where a closure cap 10 according to Figure 1 is used, when a fire is to be extinguished, the conventional cap on the bottle or container 38 is screwed off and thereafter the cap 10 is screwed on. The nozzle passage 18 is held close by means of the user's finger and the bottle 38 is shaken and thereafter the nozzle passage 18 is uncovered so that a spray of foamed beverage 40 emerges for spraying onto the fire to be extinguished.
The cap 22 of Figure 2 is provided as a standard cap on the bottle 38. When used normally to dispense beverage liquid, the cap 22 is merely screwed off the bottle. However, when the bottle 38 is to be used as a fire extinguishing device, it is shaken and then the cover 34 is removed so that the foamed beverage 40 is sprayed out along the passage 32 to wherever required.
Referring to Figures 4 to 7, a third embodiment of a closure cap in accordance with the invention is shown. This container cap, generally indicated by reference numeral 42, is in the form of a conventional type of cap for a beverage bottle, and has a depending skirt 44, closed at one end by way of a disc 46 and being open at the opposite end 48. Internally the skirt 44 is provided with a screw thread formation 50.
The skirt 44 has an annular internal recess 52 adjacent the disc 46 for receiving a sealing wad 54.
The disc 46 has a central hole 56. A deflector plate 58, joined by way of legs 60 to the disc 46, is located on the outside of the disc 46. The deflector plate 58 is surrounded by a circumferential rim 62 leaving an upper opening 63. The rim 62 is of concave cross-sectional shape as shown.
A nozzle cover 64 is provided which is constituted by a disc 66 and a circumferential wall 68. The wall 68 is hingedly connected by way of a hinge connection 70 to the skirt 44.
Inside the wall 68 a circumferential rim 72 is provided. It has a cross- sectional convex shape, which corresponds to the shape of the skirt 62.
The wad 54 has a hole 74 which is equal to or larger than the hole 56.
In normal "inoperative condition" the cover 64 is fitted onto the cap 42 as shown by dotted lines 64.1. In this position the rim 72 fits frictionally tightly over the rim 62. The cap 42 is screwed off a beverage bottle when dispensing liquid from the bottle. In the "operative condition", when a fire is to be extinguished, the cap 64 is tilted in the direction indicated by arrow 76 into the position shown in Figure 6. (In its inoperative condition the cover 64 may be manufactured integrally formed with the skirt 44 or disc 46 and a weakened rupturable zone is provided between the wall 68 and the skirt 44 or disc 46 extending up to the hinge connection 70.)
Then liquid flows from the beverage bottle through the openings 74 and 56 onto the deflector plate 58 for creating sprays of liquid to be directed onto a fire to be extinguished.
Referring to Figures 8 to 10, a fourth embodiment of a closure cap in accordance with the invention is shown. This container cap, generally indicated by reference numeral 78, is in the form of a conventional type of cap for a beverage bottle, and has a depending skirt 80, closed at one end by way of a disc 82 and being open at the opposite end 84. Internally the skirt 80 is provided with a screw thread formation 86.
The skirt 80 has an annular internal recess 88 adjacent the disc 82 for receiving a sealing wad 90.
The disc 82 has a central conically shaped hole 92. A cylinder 94 is joined to the disc 82 so that it is in alignment with the hole 92 and extends internally into the skirt 80. The cylinder 94 has a passage including, in sequence, a first round cylindrical passage 96 joining to a conical passage 98 following to a reduced diameter round cylindrical passage 100 which communicates with the conical passage 92.
A nozzle cover 102 is provided, which is constituted by a disc 104 and a wall 106, and a central round cylindrical plug 108. The wall 106 is hingedly connected by way of a hinge conncection 109 to the skirt 80. The plug 108 has a cross-sectional shape which corresponds to the shape of the passage 100 so as to fit tightly therein.
The wall of the passage 98 has helix shaped grooves 98.1 to provide for a helix spiraled outflow of liquid so as to have a spin and, due to its inertia, to spread, and also to obtain a more uniform outflow of liquid.
In normal "inoperative condition" the cover 102 is fitted onto the cap 78 as shown by dotted lines 102.1. In this position the plug 108 fits frictionally tightly in the passage 100. The cap 78 is screwed off a beverage bottle when dispensing liquid from the bottle. In the "operative condition", when a fire is to be extinguished, the cover 102 is tilted in the direction indicated by arrow 110 into the position shown in Figure 8. (In its inoperative condition the cover 102 may be manufactured integrally formed with the skirt 80 or dis 82 and a weakened rupturable zone is provided between the wall 106 and the disc 82 or skirt 80 extending up to the hinge connection 109.)
Then liquid can flow from the beverage bottle through the passages 96, 98, 100, 92 for creating a spray or stream of liquid to be directed onto a fire to be extinguished.
Figure 11 shows a carbonized beverage bottle 112 when a cap 42 or 78 is fitted to its neck. For dispensing beverage, the cap 42 or 78 is merely turned off. However, for extinguishing a fire, the cover 64 or 104 is tilted away to expose the particular outlet in order to spray a beverage spray or stream 114 towards the fire.
The closure caps 10, 22, 42, 78 therefore make it possible to use a conventional carbonised beverage bottle or container as a fire extinguisher. This is a cheap and effective means for extinguishing a fire at its beginning and to prevent it from spreading in uncontrolled manner.
