Definitions
- the present invention relates to a security seal for a stopper, among the different seals intended for these bottle closing necessities.
- This invention characterizes a special construction of the seal, which incorporates breakpoints with respect to the edge and others that facilitate the separation of the disk from the skirt of the seal, leaving or not a lower ring in the neck.
- seals are known that have a recess of their upper base, in the form of an inverted "S" and with the ends and the central area thereof prolonged with two grooves that reach the peripheral edge of the seal.
- Fixing the seal on the body of the Stopper is usually carried out using a perimeter projection. It is enough to cite the Spanish invention patent with publication number ES2153263 where a pouring plug is shown whose fixing means to the container consist of a step of triangular section, continuous, arranged perimeter and internal, and allowing the entry of the cap on the neck of the bottle but prevents the exit when supporting a flange of the container in the straight part of the triangular step.
- the present invention establishes a special design of the seal based on the simplicity and quality of finish, which also includes fixing tabs that allow easy entry as well as a support of sufficient strength to prevent the removal and improper handling of the covering cap.
- the present invention relates to a security seal for a stopper, from among the different safety seals of the bottle caps, usually of liquors.
- This invention characterizes a special construction of the seal, which incorporates in its upper base a wide disk of totally free surface, which allows to incorporate with great ease the brand of the manufacturer of the beverage.
- This disc has a semicircular radial extension, in shape and use as a tongue that is accessible through an antagonistic perforation that covers the peripheral edge of that area of the seal as well as part of the wing immediately below it.
- the tongue incorporates break points, well away from the tongue area, to facilitate the lifting thereof without affecting the user's nail and joining it with respect to the edge of the base. It also has other unions, in the form of breakable bridges that define a line of weakening, at least two arranged at the edge, which facilitate the rapid separation of the disk from the rest of the skirt of the seal.
- breakable bridges can multiply and prolong the line of weakening until reaching almost the lower area of the skirt leaving a lower ring on the neck or reaching the edge of it.
- These punctual supports are composed of tabs as internal projections in the lower cylindrical body of the security seal.
- Each of these fingernails is configured according to a plant whose edge is projected inwards in a straight section, according to a secant, thus eliminating the presence of corners that establish possible potential support points usable to remove the seal from the plug.
- the depth of the nail depends on its width and the radius of the seal since the planar projection is defined by a secant.
- the nail shows a flat and oblique lower surface, which establishes the wedge that facilitates the entrance of the seal during its insertion.
- the shoulder extends along a second flat and vertical surface, increasing the height and eliminating the presence of pointed edges of less resistance.
- each of the fingernails is configured by three planes, the oblique wedge-like bottom, the vertical center that extends the height in height, and the horizontal top that defines the support.
- This deformation is such that the projections tend to press radially outward, and the sections between projections reduce their curvature by tension to allow the insertion of the seal.
- the configuration of the cylindrical body returns to its original situation, before deformation, thus establishing adequate support for the nails on the flange of the cap preventing its exit.
- Figure 1 shows the upper base and elevation of the security seal of the preferred example, seen from the front of the tongue.
- Figure 2 shows a section of the seal already incorporated in the cap, highlighting the seal in thicker line.
- Figure 3 shows the upper and lower plan and two profiles of an embodiment of the seal according to the invention showing the fixing means by means of the tabs.
- Figure 4 shows a detail of the raised planar and profile fingernails, where the cylindrical section of the seal on which it is located appears partially represented by way of reference.
- the present invention relates to a security seal for a stopper, from among the different safety seals of stoppers, essentially characterized by incorporating in its upper base (1) a large disc (2), with tongue (3) antagonist of a perforation (4) that extends according to a corrugated section covering the peripheral edge (5) of the upper base (1) and part of the skirt (6).
- the tongue (3) has breakpoints (7) away from the tongue (3) and at least two external weakening lines (9), separating the disc (2) from the rest of the skirt (6) of the seal.
- the disc (2) is completely free surface, for incorporation of brands of manufacturers.
- the weakening lines (9) reach almost the lower part of the skirt (6), leaving a lower ring (10) or reach the edge of it.
- FIG. 3 An embodiment of the seal is shown in Figure 3, in a configuration shorter than that shown in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, where the tabs (8) or projections object of this improvement are shown intended to establish support in a external perimeter closure of the cap.
- r being the internal radius of the cylindrical body where the nail (8) is located.
- This greater width in turn reduces the distance between nails (8) and therefore increases the stiffness that prevents deformation of the. lower part of the cylindrical body of the seal at the time of insertion.
- Preferred of the invention has been made use of eight equistributed fingernails (8).
- the vertical extension (8.2) is checked under the edge established with the upper surface (8.3) where the support is produced with the upper face of the perimeter pocket of the plug (this pocket is not represented in this figure and adopts an antagonistic profile to that of the profile represented, that is, the profile corresponding to the middle section according to a vertical plane passing through the axis of the seal).
- This vertical extension (8.2) is what makes it possible to respond to the upper support by means of a compression effort and not a compression combined with flexion, as occurs in the projections contemplated in the background section of triangular section.
- This support offers a higher resistance while avoiding showing support points (even if they are individual elements and not perimeter projections) from the bottom that facilitate the removal of the seal that allows the tampering of the cap.
