Definitions

  • This invention relates to closures particularly for glass bottles and as well to a bottle closed with such a closure, and a method of clothing a bottle.
  • cork has some disadvantages.
  • such disadvantages include the problem that the material is a natural product and therefore subject to natural quality variation. Further, however, the material is porous and it can harbour materials which are disadvantageous to any product being sealed using the cork.
  • TCA taint
  • Such a closure uses a thin metal shell which has an inner seal and this is placed on a bottle so that the seal is held under compression against an uppermost rim of the mouth of the bottle and the outer metal shell is held in position by a rolling of the metal into a nesting shape with a thread formed on the outside side of a mouth of the bottle.
  • An object of this invention is to propose an alternative closure which can provide some of the better advantages of the so-called "Stelvin” closure but which has advantages of its own both in cost of installation in relation to any single bottle, and its applicability to a wider range of bottles as well as its ability to be modified more easily in ways which it is considered could assist in acceptability of this type of closure by the public.
  • a glass bottle closure for a bottle where the bottle has an uppermost mouth to be closed, the closure having a body of moulded plastics material having an outer surround with an inwardly directed step arranged to engage with an interlocking fit an integral collar outwardly extending from a neck of the bottle, the body further defining a cavity with a seal located beneath an upper inner surface of the body and adapted to be held under a sealing compression against an uppermost rim of the bottle mouth when the outer surround is engaging with interlocking fit the integral collar.
  • plastics material can have some resiliency so that it can be pushed into place over the mouth of a bottle until it reaches an interlocking fit by reason, for instance, co-incidence of an inwardly directed step being below a corresponding outward step of a collar of the bottle.
  • Such an installation process is therefore able to be performed with relatively simple machinery and very quickly.
  • the seal is a member providing a substantially air impermeable barrier.
  • the seal includes material providing substantial resiliency on a side of the seal distal from the substantially impermeable barrier material where this is in a sealing position against the rim of a mouth.
  • such material providing substantial resiliency is a resilient material interposed between an inner downwardly facing surface of the body and the substantially impermeable material of the seal.
  • the closure in a further form of this invention, it can reside in the method of closing a bottle where the closure is as identified as having one or more of the above characteristics the method including the step of forcing the body of the closure over the otherwise open top of the mouth of the bottle until there is effected an interlocking fit and where the seal is then held under sealing compression against an uppermost rim of the otherwise open mouth of the bottle.
  • a closure as characterized by having any one of the above features when in a closing position in relation to a bottle where the body of the closure is being held having an interlocking fit with an inwardly directed step engaging below an outwardly projecting collar of the bottle and where a seal held with resilient pressure against an uppermost rim of an otherwise open mouth of the bottle by the closure.
  • the seal includes material providing substantial resiliency on a side of the seal distal from the substantially impermeable barrier material where this is in a sealing position against the rim of a mouth, such material providing substantial resiliency is a resilient material interposed between an inner downwardly facing surface of the body and the substantially impermeable material of the seal.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the parts as shown in FIG. 1 where (a) is the body, (b) is a seal, and (c) is the top and neck a bottle,
  • FIG 4-7 are cross sections of further embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG 8 is a perspective view of the embodiment shown in FIG 7.
  • Retaining tongues 13 assist in holding the seal 8 in position against accidental dislodgement while the body is separate from an interlocking position on a bottle.
  • the seal 8 embodiment is constructed as a laminate including a lowermost plastics material, a sheet of metal, a plastic supporting part and then behind this foam plastics.
  • the foam plastics material is chosen both in relation to its thickness and to its characteristics such as to be able to maintain over a longer period, sufficient resiliency to maintain a sufficient seal in the circumstances.
  • Fig 3 discloses a further embodiment of the invention where there is closure 20 having an outer surround 3 adapted to engage the collar 5 located on the neck of a wine bottle.
  • the seal 8 is similar to that referred to in Fig 1 , however, in addition to the seal 8 there is a annulus shaped seal 22 that resides between the seal 8, which is disc shaped, and the upper outwardly extending portion 24 of collar 5. This arrangement then provides for a greater sealing effect by providing an additional barrier.
  • the annulus shaped seal 22 is made from a compressible plastics material.
  • the inner diameter of the annulus seal 22 is sized to be a similar size to that of the outer diameter 26 of the mouth of the bottle, which according to current industry standards for CETI finished bottles is 27 ⁇ 0.5 mm.
  • FIG 4 there is shown a further form of the closure 30, again having an outer surround 3 that is adapted to engage the collar 5 located on the neck of a wine bottle.
  • the seal 31 so that it extends over the top lip 10 of the bottle, so that the portion 33 of the seal 31 resides close to the upper outwardly extending portion 24 of collar 5 when the closure 30 is in a sealing position.
  • the portion 33 of the seal 31 is bulbous shaped such that it provides an adequate liquid seal against the outer diameter 26 of the mouth of the bottle when the closure 31 is used to reseal the bottle.
  • FIG 5 shows a variant of the closure of FIG 4.
  • the closure 40 has an outer surround 3 similar to that previously described. However, in this instance the sheet of metal 44 is positioned above the seal 42. As such, the outer portion 44 of seal 42 has in increased surface contact with the upper lip 10 and outer diameter 26.
  • the members 64 are shaped so that the inwardly directing step 70 engages the outwardly extending portion 72 of collar 5.
  • the annulus ring 64 is co-molded with the closure 50 such that it also has a shape that provides an interlocking fit with the outwardly extending portion 72 of collar 5.
  • the ring 64 can be removed from the closure 50 by way of gripping and pulling in an outward motion a tab attached to the ring 64, leaving the members 64 visible and interlocking with the collar 5.
  • the closure 50 can then be removed by lifting away from the bottle
  • the technique which is to hold a seal in continuous sealing contact on the top of the mouth of the bottle provides the advantages of a superior form of sealing which, in the case of products such as wine, will contribute to their long keeping while at the same time, allowing for production and installation in such a way that it is both economic and efficient.
  • the method of installation itself can include simply pushing the body over the head of the filled bottle to the extent that the respective inwardly and outwardly steps are aligned.
  • the location of the seal inside the body is a precursor to of course the installation process.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une capsule de bouteille en verre (50) ayant une embouchure supérieure à fermer. La capsule comporte un corps en matière plastique moulée ayant un pourtour à pas dirigé vers l'intérieur qui s'imbrique en ajustement serré avec un collier intégré s'étendant vers l'extérieur depuis le goulot. Le corps comprend en outre une cavité à joint, pouvant être en plastique souple et en laminé métallique, sous une surface interne supérieure du corps, capable de subir une compression d'étanchéité contre une bordure supérieure (10) de la bouteille lorsque le pourtour s'engage en ajustement serré sur le collier intégré. La capsule peut aussi comprendre un système d'étanchéité annulaire de recapsulation contre un diamètre externe (26) de l'embouchure.
