Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for beer, soft drinks and the like, which includes a shut-off cock comprising an inner part, on which an outer part is mounted, wherein one of said parts is fixed to the container and wherein an annular seal is fitted over said inner part and/or said outer part in such a manner that removal of the inner part from the outer part will result in to said annular seal being damaged.
  • shut-off cock of a container for beer, soft drinks or wine for example, with a seal or tamper evident device, which tells a person who inspects the container, generally the producer of the beverage, whether at least the part that is usually called the "extractor tube” was removed from the container or that an attempt was made to do so during the period that the container was not at the manufacturer's premises.
  • Annular seals are often in the form of a full plastic ring, which is provided with one or more weakened spots, so that unauthorized removal of the annular seal will easily result in visible and permanent damage thereto.
  • Said annular seal is for example fitted round the outer part by means of elastic deformation of the seal .
  • the container according to the invention is characterised in that the annular seal is divided at at least one location, and that the seal comprises a once-only closure at the location of the division.
  • the closure comprises an opening on one side of said division and a projection on the other side, with at least part of which projection having a width greater than the width of the opening.
  • a part or a neck having a width smaller than or equal to the width of the opening is furthermore present between the ring and the part of the projection that has a width greater than that of the opening, a readily effected snap closure will be obtained.
  • a suitable embodiment is one wherein the projection comprises a tooth and/or wherein the opening includes at least one locking tooth.
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a shut-off cock provided with an annular seal .
  • Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of a first annular seal according to the present invention.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show a detail view, a top plan view and a side view, respectively, of the annular seal of Figure 2.
  • Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of a second annular seal according to the present invention.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show a detail view, a top plan view and a side view, respectively, of the annular seal of Figure 2.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a plastic, annular seal 1 or tamper evident device attached to a shut-off cock 2 of a container 3 for beer, soft drinks and the like.
  • a cy- lindrical outer part or neck ring 4 is attached, whether or not detachably, on container 3.
  • a cylindrical inner part 5 comprising a riser pipe 6 and a shut-off member or valve 7 for closing container 3.
  • a springing locking ring 8 is confined between inner part 5 and neck ring .
  • Said locking ring 8 can be pushed inwards into the wall of neck ring 4 via one or more openings 9 (six in the present embodiment) , after which the inner part 6 can be removed from neck ring 4.
  • the openings 9 are sealed by means of annular seal 1 , so that the clearing of said openings 9 will result in permanent damage to the annular seal 1.
  • a packing 10 is disposed between inner part 4 and neck ring 2, near container 3, which packing forms a gas- tight seal.
  • FIG. 2 shows an annular seal 20 according to the invention, which includes a once-only closure 21.
  • Annular seal 20 furthermore comprises two weakened or thin spots 22, the weakening being such that te ring will break when a preset load is exerted thereon.
  • annular seal comprises cams 23 for positioning seal 20 relative to the neck ring 4 on container 3. The location of cams 23 corresponds to the location of the openings 9 for pushing the locking ring 8 inwards.
  • FIG. 3 shows the closure 21 of annular seal 20 in more detail.
  • Annular seal 20 comprises a division 24, on one side of which a projection comprising an arrowhead including two teeth 26 and a neck 27 is present.
  • a cavity 28 which comprises an opening whose width is smaller than the widest portion of the arrowhead 25 but greater than the narrow portion of neck 27 directly behind arrowhead 25.
  • a locking tooth 29 is pres- ⁇ LO t t H H
  • locking teeth 29 may be formed with an undercut. Undercut 37 of teeth 26 may be left out in that case .
  • the annular seal according to the invention is preferably made of a plastic which is resistant inter alia to acids, bases, elevated temperatures and chemicals which are used in the cleaning of the containers . Furthermore it is possible to place the brand name and/or the logo of the producer of the contents (beer, wine, soft drinks and the like) of the container on the ring.
  • the annular seals according to the invention can also be used in shut-off cocks other than the above- described one.
  • the seals can be adapted for use with shut-off cocks whose inner part and outer part include a (projecting) edge or flange, which edges will abut against each other once the inner part has been fitted in the outer part.
  • said edges are substantially flat (on their facing sides) and so wide that a sufficient amount of (static) friction can be generated between the edges.
  • the seal is formed with (inwardly) projecting edges or segments, which engage over the edges of the inner part and the outer part .

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un contenant destiné à de la bière, des boissons gazeuses et d'autres boisons du même genre, comprenant un robinet d'arrêt, constitué d'une partie intérieure sur laquelle est montée une partie supérieure, dans lequel une de ces parties est fixée au contenant, et dans lequel un joint annulaire est ajusté sur la partie intérieure et/ou sur la partie extérieure de telle manière que la séparation de la partie intérieure et de la partie inférieure résulte en une détérioration du joint annulaire. Ce joint annulaire est divisé à au moins un emplacement et il comprend une fermeture à usage unique à l'emplacement de la division.
