Packaging system for a beverage bottle, in particular a champagne or wine bottle, and method for packaging a beverage bottle

The invention relates to a packaging system for a beverage bottle, in particular a champagne or wine bottle. It also affects a beverage bottle

9 see, which is provided with such a packaging system, a method

10 for packaging a beverage bottle and the use thereof

11 Packaging system of a beverage bottle.

13 In a centuries-old tradition, a wine bottle or champagne bottle usually

H have a cork or cork stopper as a closure element, which

15 pouring opening of the bottle neck of the wine bottle is introduced. This way,

Sealing 16 wine and champagne bottles has been particularly

17 lasts because cork as a natural substance fulfills the requirements for long-term storage of the wine in a bottle to a particularly high degree. In particular,

19 In terms of processability and tightness, cork is particularly

21 There is a tradition of using cork to close wine bottles

22 such cork stoppers by consumers with great experience

23 associated with winemaking. As a result, the wine offered in such a closed 4 bottle of wine usually enjoys a comparatively high esteem among consumers. 6 7 Contrary to the high esteem among consumers, a closure 8 with a cork stopper can also have an adverse effect on the wine stored in the closed wine bottle. In particular, a cork stopper may release 1 flavors into the wine stored in the wine bottle as a result of contact with it and thus impair or distort the wine taste. Such impairments of the wine can be 10% 1 up to 16% of the wine stored in this way occurs. Furthermore, must

7 As an alternative to using cork, a wine bottle can also be equipped with a screw cap. A metallic sealing cap is usually used, which is screwed onto the bottle neck

10 is screwed on and thus closes the pouring opening of the wine bottle.

11 A wine bottle closed with such a screw cap is already in

However, 14 are mostly for comparatively cheaper and thus

15 lower quality wines used. Because of this, one enjoys in a wine bottle

16 see wine offered with screw cap also only a lower value

17 Estimated by consumers as a wine offered in a wine bottle closed with a cork stopper.

19

20 Lately, wine bottles have also been offered that have a mechanical

21 sturdy crown caps are closed. This crown cap can be in his

22 inside or in the area of his mirror on the inside of the bottle

23 facing side with a seal made of plastic, e.g. referred to as LD-PE

24 th low density polyethylene. This is particularly a

25 easy-to-use closure with high sealing effect. This enables the taste of the beverage stored in such a sealed bottle to be avoided, even with a long storage period. A disadvantage of 8 when using a crown cork, as with the screw cap, is that the 9 customers have little appreciation of a drink offered in this way. For this reason, it is known from DE 100 33 222 A1 to provide 1 bottle of wine with a crown cap and to seal it with a capsule, for example made of tin, so that the 1 suitable bottle in the ready-to-sell condition not from one with a

2 conventional cork stoppers sealed bottle and one

3 enjoys high esteem. Even with this advanced packaging concept

However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the used cropping

5 bottle corks at least partially leaves the consumer with an impression that is less valued.

7

8 The invention is therefore based on the object, a modified packaging.

9 system based on crown caps, with which the consumer in all

10 steps when opening the bottle a high-quality impression of the bottle

11 and its content is preserved. Furthermore, a beverage bottle, in particular

12 a champagne or wine bottle with such a packaging system

13 is provided, a for attaching such a package

14 system particularly suitable for a beverage bottle.

15 and a particularly suitable use of such a method.

16 packaging system can be specified.

17

18 With regard to the packaging system, this object is achieved according to the invention,

19 by assigning a cover cap to a crown cork, which cap

Has 20 cylinder cap enclosing the cap.

21

22 The invention is based on the consideration that for one

23 high-quality impression a possible impairment of the perception of the

24 consumers should be avoided consistently through the crown cap. To

For this purpose, the typical, striking appearance of the crown cork, which usually appears when using a crown cork, should appear as far as possible

Σ? be largely covered. For hiding the crown cap together with

28 ner teeth, its complete wrapping is particularly cheap. To do this, a

29 cover cap provided, which expediently at least on its peripheral edge

30 flush with the teeth of the crown cap. The cover cap is included

31 designed in such a way that a particularly harmonious one when assembled

32 overall picture results. For this purpose, the cover cap has a crown cap closing cylinder jacket, which in particular ensures a superficially smooth design of the cover cap in its peripheral area.

4 In addition, the smooth design of the entire outside of the cover

5 cap otherwise possible when a number of crown corks come into contact with one another.

7 crown caps avoided. In order to ensure this in any case, the a cap is preferably dimensioned such that it is on its peripheral edge

9 is flush with the teeth of the crown cap. 0 1 In different situations, especially while opening the beverage bottle, there is a risk that the cover cap 3 will be pulled off the crown cap. In order to be able to put the cover cap on the crown cap on the one hand in a particularly simple manner, but on the other hand to avoid the undesired removal of the cover cap from the crown cap and to fasten it particularly reliably to the 6 crown cap, the cover cap advantageously has a snap-in rim formed on its peripheral edge. This latching rim acts like a snap lock, in that it both enables easy application to the crown cap and ensures secure fixing, so that the cover cap is not removed when the further packaging is removed while the bottle is being opened.

Alternatively, a reliable latching of the cover cap on the crown cork can advantageously also be ensured by latching means such as, for example, a number of grains, knobs or arches arranged on the cylinder jacket of the cover cap and distributed in the circumferential direction. These latching means are preferably dimensioned such that they can be guided between the teeth of the crown cap when the cover cap is placed automatically and can then be hooked under individual teeth of the crown cap via a suitable rotation of the cover cap relative to the crown cap. With regard to the usual designs of crown caps, there are advantageously about nine segments of knobs or bulges over the circumference of the cylinder jacket Arranged distributed, a reliable locking can be achieved regardless of orientation even when the cover cap is put on automatically.

An alternative or cumulative permanent fastening between the cover cap and the crown cork is achieved by gluing the two together in a particularly advantageous embodiment.

So that the cover cap is particularly well suited as an attachment for the crown cork, it is expedient to design it in a comparatively simple, visually appealing manner in terms of its shape and graphic features. For this reason, the cover cap is advantageously made of aluminum, tinplate or plastic. On the one hand, this allows a desired configuration of the cover cap with comparatively little processing effort and on the other hand it allows the cover cap to be used with a negligible weight and volume contribution, which is important with regard to handling, in particular with regard to transport and storage.

In order to give the cover cap, for example with customer-specific imprints of the bottler, particular appreciation by the consumer, it is preferably provided with an information carrier element. This makes it particularly easy to comply with legal regulations that require proof of origin for the bottler or wine producer. A cap that is particularly unusual in this way can also be considered as a collector's item.

In order to ensure that the good storage properties achieved by the crown cork also give special appreciation to the entire outer packaging among the customers, the ready-to-sell closed wine bottle expediently has a packaging system that comes close to the appearance of a wine bottle closed with a cork stopper. For such an optic, the outer packaging with the cover provided a capped crown cap and a capsule enclosing this together with part of the bottle neck.

In order to ensure a compatible use of the molded cap in a multi-part packaging system, the inside diameter of the molded cap is advantageously adapted to the cylinder jacket of the cover cap.

The molded cap also serves to maintain a particularly high level of shape stability and thus to protect against possible damage to the crown cap and the covering cap surrounding it during various handling steps and in particular during transport. For use in large quantities and particularly low manufacturing costs, the molded cap is preferably made of plastic, in particular of high-density polyethylene, which is referred to as HD-PE.

In a further expedient embodiment, the shaped cap is dimensioned such that, taking into account the dimensioning of the bottle neck with a first circumferential lip bead in the immediate vicinity of the pouring opening and a second circumferential lip bead arranged in comparison to this somewhat larger distance from the pouring opening, the impression of an upper band mouth arises. In the case of an upper band mouth, the bottle has a wide circumferential bead on the bottle neck, which is flush with the pouring opening. The appropriate dimensioning ensures, in a particularly favorable manner, that the same appreciation can be achieved by customers for such a closed wine bottle as with a wine bottle traditionally closed with cork stoppers.

In the ready-to-sell closed state of the bottle, the molded cap expediently closes at its circumferential edge without great offset or flush with the second circumferential lip of the bottle mouth. This is a tearing when attaching the one-piece capsule provided as a covering to the molded cap and to the respective part of the bottle neck 1 largely avoided. In addition, the molded cap is

Two forces are particularly well supported on the bottle neck, so that

3 for example when mechanically attaching the outer capsule, one particularly

4 results in high stability and resilience. The capsule extends beyond the molded cap and continues to enclose an upper part of the bottle neck of the wine bottle. This is the reason why the visual impression is almost

7 the same as for a champagne or wine bottle sealed with a cork stopper.

10 With regard to the beverage bottle, this task is solved by using

11 such a packaging system is closed.

12

13 Regarding the method of packaging a beverage bottle, in particular

14 of a champagne or wine bottle, the stated object is achieved by placing the Abis cover cap over a pouring opening provided with the crown cap

16, the molded cap with an initial

17 pre-assembled and then over the with the cover cap and the crown

18 cork-provided pouring opening is placed, after which the Ausig gang body to form the capsule on the molded cap and on a respective 20 part of the bottle neck is rolled or shrunk.

27 neck of the bottle is rolled on or shrunk. 8 9 A particularly time-saving and effective manufacturing process can be achieved by pre-assembling the molded cap in an initial body provided to form the capsule. The intermediate product prepared in this way can then be placed in a simple manner on the cover cap already enveloping the crown cap. 1 sets or after inserting the cover cap into the molded cap on the

4 In the case of a capsule formed on a PVC basis, the capsule shrinks onto the molded cap and onto the upper part of the bottle neck, thereby creating a particularly uniform and thus high-quality impression of the packaging system. In this sequence, the wine bottle as such is only exposed to the packaging measures for a comparatively short period of time, so that

9 equally high throughput rates can be achieved. 0 1 In a particularly advantageous embodiment of both methods, the cover cap and the crown cap are connected to one another using an adhesive, in particular silicone. As a result, as an alternative or cumulative to the fixation, a particularly secure attachment of the cover cap to the crown cork is ensured by the snap-in rim formed on the peripheral edge of the cover cap. When the bottle is opened properly, for example with a so-called waiter's knife, the capsule is first removed together with the molded cap in one handling step. After this step, only the cover cap is visible, since the crown cap, which is reliably attached to the inside, is completely hidden by the cover cap.

The outside of the cap, which is exposed when the bottle is opened, is suitable for use as an information carrier for approval numbers, indications of origin, such as coat of arms, name of the bottler, place of filling, or advertising, etc. on.

The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that, on the one hand, the combination of a crown cork with a cover cap, which encloses the crown cork with your cylinder jacket, gives a high-quality closure with a high sealing effect and, on the other hand, it is smooth on all outer surfaces Surface of the cap an optically appealing print with image and / or font information for the customer can be reached. There- 1 by is in itself in the appreciation of the consumers of wine or

4 circumferential edge of the cover cap with the teeth of the crown cork as well as the tight, continuous connection of both packaging system elements by means of an adhesive bond between the inside of the cover cap and the outside of the crown cap.

7 kens and / or the attachment between the crown cork and cover cap over a their locking edge on the circumferential edge also ensure that the

9 users when opening the bottle, the typical crown cap used is reliably hidden in all steps, thus maintaining a high-quality impression 1 of the bottle and its contents. By adapting the molded cap 3 provided as a further packaging system element of the bottle mouth with regard to its inner diameter to the cylinder jacket of the cover cap 4, the cover cap can be inserted into the relevant molded cap with a precise fit. Due to the covering of the molded cap, which is further shaped taking into account the dimensioning of the bottle neck with a first circumferential lip bead in the immediate vicinity of the pouring opening and a second circumferential lip bead arranged in comparison to this somewhat larger distance from the pouring opening, and the upper lip Part of the bottle neck with a common capsule also ensures that the impression of a 1 sparkling wine or wine bottle with an upper band mouth can be conveyed. This means that customers are associated with a comparatively high esteem for the drink offered in this way.

An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. In it show:

FIG. 1 shows a side view of a wine bottle with a packaging system,

2a shows a pouring opening closed with a crown cap, in section, 2b shows a pouring opening closed with a crown cork and a cover cap, FIG. 3 shows a cover cap in top view, FIG. 4a shows a cover cap in a lateral bottom view, FIG. 4b shows a cover cap placed over a crown cork in a side bottom view, and FIG 1 in average.

Identical parts are provided with the same reference symbols in all figures.

The wine bottle 1 according to FIG. 1 comprises a bottle body 2, on which a bottle neck 4 is molded. Instead of wine bottle 1, this could also be a champagne bottle. The bottle neck 4 opens into a pouring opening 6 (not visible in FIG. 1), which is encased in a packaging system 8. The packaging system 8 is designed as a bead 9 with regard to its visual impression, that is to say in particular with regard to its dimensioning, taking into account the dimensioning of the bottle neck 4, so that the impression of a so-called upper band mouth is created for a customer or consumer.

The packaging system 8 is designed in such a way that even in the case of a long storage period, the taste of the stored beverage, in particular the wine stored in the wine bottle 1, is excluded. For this purpose, the packaging system 8 is designed without a cork stopper. Instead, a crown cap 10 closes the pouring opening 6 of the wine bottle 1, as shown in cross section in FIG. 2a. In this case, a number of bending lips 12 arranged on the outer edge of the crown cork 10, which are separated from one another by the so-called teeth 13 of the crown cork 10, encompass a first upper lip bead 14 which is formed on the bottle neck 4 in the immediate vicinity of the pouring opening 6 is. 1 The crown cap 10 is designed according to DIN 6099 and, adapted to the

2 dimensioning of the bottle neck 4, a free diameter of 26.75 mm

3 and a height of 6.8 mm. However, other diameters, including

4, for example, approximately 24.75 mm, 29.75 mm, 32.75 mm or 36.75 mm, depending on the nominal diameter of the bottle neck 4. The crown cap 10

6 is in an inner region 16 on its side facing the bottle interior

7 provided with a sealing element 18. In the exemplary embodiment, the sealing element 18 is made from plastic, namely from low-density polyethylene (LD-PE), and its dimensions are such that it completely covers the pouring opening 6. When the crown cap 10 is fitted, the sealing element 18 is pressed completely against the circumferential edge of the pouring opening 6 in 1 as a result of the clamping effect of the 2 bending lips 12 encompassing the first upper lip 14, so that the pouring opening 6 is closed completely tightly. The wine stored in the 4 wine bottle 1 can only come into contact with the material of the sealing element 18. An impairment of the stored wine, in particular in terms of taste, 6 through the entry of cork material, for example, is thus reliably excluded. 8 9 The crown cap 10 is made of stainless steel. Its metal body 0 is made of the material ASI 316. Such a choice of material enables a long storage time even in unfavorable conditions without impairing the locking effect, for example due to corrosion. This crown cap 10 is therefore also particularly suitable for long-term storage of wine even in the event of an unfavorable, for example saline or sulfur-containing, outside atmosphere.

At a somewhat greater distance from the pouring opening 6 compared to the first circumferential upper lip 14, the bottle neck 4 has a second circumferential lip 20. In comparison to the first upper lip 14, this is dimensioned slightly larger. Furthermore, the mouth area designed in this way gives a particularly high-quality impression when the wine bottle 1 is open, with a qualitative proximity to a champagne or champagne bottle being produced. 1 Of wine and champagne consumers, one is used with a crown cap 10

2 closed bottles and their contents despite the proven benefits

3 ^• Compared to cork stoppers because of the visual impression they are often considered inferior

4 levels. For this reason, the crown cap 10 is as shown in Figure 2b.

5 is assigned a cover cap 22, which has a cylinder cap 23 which surrounds the crown cap 10. The cover cap 22 is so dimensionally

7 kidney that it is flush at its circumferential edge 24 flush with the teeth 13 of the crown cork 10 or slightly protrudes therefrom. So the typical

9 see appearance of the crown cap 10 hidden. The superficially smooth design of the outer side 26 of the cover cap 22 ensures that the cover cap 22 is not associated with a typical crown cap 10 and thus has a particularly elegant appearance. This smooth design 3 also prevents the cap from getting caught in crown caps 10 due to its 4 teeth 13 when it comes into contact with other bottles. Furthermore, the cover cap is particularly suitable, for example, as an information carrier surface 28 for information carrier elements 30 such as approval numbers, indications of origin such as coats of arms, as shown in FIG. 3, name of the bottler, filling location, or advertising, etc. The information carrier elements 30 can be used in the manufacturing process of the cover cap 22, for example, are printed, punched or stamped onto the information carrier surface 28 in a representative manner. With an attractive optical design, the cover cap 22 can also be considered as a collector's item for the customer. Alternatively or in addition, comparatively simple information carrier elements 30, for example in the form of short lettering or imprints, can also be applied to the cylinder jacket 23.

In the exemplary embodiment, the cover cap 22 is made of aluminum, tinplate or plastic. The choice of material permits a design which is visually appealing to the consumer with regard to the design of the cover cap 22 with a comparatively low outlay in terms of processing, for example when molding and printing. Furthermore, the weight and volume contribution, which is in the With regard to handling, especially with regard to transport and storage,

2 is negligible.

In the exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, a latching edge 32 is formed on the peripheral edge 24 of the cover cap 22. This works in the manner of a snap lock and thus fastens the cover cap 22

7 the slip on the crown cap 10 reliably on it. Thus, after the cap 22 has been placed on the crown cap 10, an inadvertent

9 pulling off the cap 22 from the crown cap 10, particularly during the opening of the wine bottle 1, is definitely impossible. Alternatively or cumulatively 1 to the fixing via the locking edge 32 on the circumferential edge 24 of the cover cap 22, a permanent and reliable connection between the crown cap 3 and the cover cap 22 using an adhesive, in particular silicone, 4 can also be used. For this purpose, this is optionally applied to the inside 33 of the cover cap 22 and / or to the crown cap 10 in question.

For further repackaging of the crown cap 10 hidden with the cover cap 22, a molded cap 34 and a capsule 36 enclosing this together with a 9 part of the bottle neck 4 are provided, as shown in FIG. 5. For a compatible use of the molded cap 34 in a multi-part packaging system 8, the inner diameter d of the molded cap 34 is advantageously matched to the cylinder jacket 23 of the cover cap 22 in the sense that the molded cap 34, possibly with some play, surrounds. As a result, the cover cap 22 can be easily inserted into the molded cap 34. Furthermore, the inner diameter d is selected with regard to the outer diameter of the bottle neck 4 in the region of the second circumferential lip bead 20 in such a way that a secure, optionally form-fitting seat of the molded cap 34 on the second lip bead 20 results.

This molded cap 34 is further dimensioned such that it forms a shell together with the second lip 20 which, when the wine bottle is closed, the 1 cover cap 22 and the crown cap 10 completely surrounds and thus excludes any direct mechanical contact with foreign parts and the impression

3 an upper band mouth of the wine bottle 1 is formed.

s The molded cap 34 is made of plastic, namely of high density polyethylene (HD-6 PE). The molded cap 34 is together with an upper part 38 of the

7 bottle neck 4 enclosed by the capsule 36. The capsule 36 can be designed as a tin capsule, but in the exemplary embodiment is also made of a

9 "Duplo film" called, on both sides aluminum-clad polyethylene film 0 or made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. The cap 22, the Form1 cap 34 and the capsule 36 together form the packaging system 8 surrounding the crown cap 10. The capsule 36 is similar in design to a 4 bottle capsule or tin capsule usually used for a wine bottle closed with cork stoppers, so that in particular with regard to to the selected dimensions of the molded cap 34, the second lip 20 and the bottle neck 4 for the completely closed wine bottle 1 gives the impression of a conventionally closed wine bottle with a cork stopper. The packaging system 8 formed in this way thus not only permits high-quality storage of the wine without impairing the taste even with a long storage time, but also ensures a special appreciation by the customers through the optical design.

In the exemplary embodiment, to cover and pack the wine bottle 1, the cover cap 22 is placed over the pouring opening 6 which is closed with the crown cap 10, and in a further step parallel or at a later stage, the molded cap 34 is introduced into a starting body 40 provided for forming the capsule 36 and glued in there. This packaging part product formed from molded cap 34 and starting body 40 is then placed over crown cap 10 provided with cover cap 22. Finally, the initial body 40 attached to the molded cap 34 is brought into firm contact by shrink-fitting with the molded cap 34 and with the upper part 38 of the bottle neck 4, the capsule 36 forming. at 1 of a tin-based capsule is attached instead

2 by shrinking by rolling. In this sequence, the wine bottle 1 is as

3 such packaging measures only for a comparatively short time

4 range, so that comparatively high throughput rates can be achieved.

13 becomes as shown in Figure 2b. The crook firmly connected to the cover cap 22

14 cap 10 is thus - without being visible to the viewer as such - is accessible for an opening of the pouring opening 6 and can for example by means of

16 of a bottle opener. The viewer thus remains during the

23 appealing design of the cover cap 22 is even the later use

24 fertilizer conceivable as a collector's item.

25 6 In the closed state, the wine bottle 1 therefore has a packaging system 8 which, on the one hand, reliably prevents the tightness of the crown cap 8 10 from being impaired and, on the other hand, continuously during the opening process even after 9 the capsule 36 with the molded cap 34 has been removed from the customer o Conveys a high-quality overall impression, since the crown cap 10 is permanently 1 completely covered by the cover cap 22. 2 LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
