Description

REGID SAFTY COVER FOR A CONTAINER CLOSED BY A DOSING CAP
The present invention refers to a rigid safety seal for a perforated cover to be applied to a container closed by a dosing cap (inserted in the neck of the container) containing a powder or a liquid to be mixed, exclusively at the time of use thereof, with another liquid contained in the container (normally a bottle or a vial) to which the dosing cap is applied.
Dosing caps are widely used, in particular in the pharmaceutical field and in that of the energy drinks and functional foods, to keep one (more) readily degradable component, contained in the cap, separate until the time of use from a second (more) stable component, contained in the container.
With specific reference to the pharmaceutical field, if an active principle (for example an antibiotic or a vitamin complex) is (more) easily degradable if dissolved in the component contained in the vial, it is common practice to package said active principle in the cap in a (more) stable form (for example in liquid or in powder form) and mix it at the time of use with the component contained in the vial, by breaking the closure membrane (often having a predetermined breaking line) of the dosing cap by means placed inside the dosing cap and adapted to break the closure membrane of the dosing cap in response to an axial pressure exerted on the upper part of the dosing cap.
Furthermore, a dosing cap normally has an upper edge of larger dimensions than those of the mouth of the neck of the container, which rests on the edge of said neck, preventing the dosing cap from accidentally falling into the container.
Numerous types of dosing caps for powders and/or for liquids are known to the art and available on the market. These will not be further described because they are per se known.
The container is normally closed by a cover which must be removed to exert on the upper part of the dosing cap the axial pressure required to break the closure membrane of the dosing cap; moreover, in many cases, it is necessary to remove the dosing cap from the container in order to consume the contents of the container.
Removing the cover to exert a sufficient axial pressure on the upper part of the dosing cap and removing the dosing cap from the container are operations that require the use of both hands and therefore prove difficult if one hand is occupied for any reason.
In order to overcome this drawback, perforated covers to be combined with a dosing cap, whose opening is closed by a membrane to be removed to access the upper part of the dosing cap have been proposed.
These perforated covers can however present the drawback that the membrane that closes the hole is (or can be) elastic and flexible, so that an axial pressure exerted on said membrane can make it bend, transferring the axial pressure to the upper part of the dosing cap and causing the accidental breakage of the closure membrane of said cap.
Object of the present invention is a rigid safety seal, to be combined with a perforated cover, adapted to overcome the limits presented by the perforated covers of the prior art. This object is achieved by means of a safety seal, which has the characterising features, illustrated in claim 1.
Further advantageous characteristics of the invention form the subject matter of the dependent claims.
The invention will now be described with reference to purely exemplifying (and therefore non-limiting) embodiments illustrated in the appended figures, in which:
- Figure 1 shows diagrammatically three views of a perforated cover bearing a first embodiment of the safety seal realised according to the invention; - Figure 2 shows diagrammatically the three views of Figure 1 sectioned along the plane A-A of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 shows diagrammatically, in perspective, the three views of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 4 shows diagrammatically a side view of the perforated cover of Figure 1 with the safety seal broken; - Figure 5 shows diagrammatically, in section, the perforated cover of Figure 1 applied to a dosing cap inserted in the neck of a container and some steps of the procedure for opening and removing the dosing cap;
- Figure 6 shows diagrammatically three views of a perforated cover bearing a second embodiment of the safety seal realised according to the invention; - Figure 7 shows diagrammatically the three views of Figure 6 sectioned along the plane B-B of Figure 6; - Figure 8 shows diagrammatically, in perspective, the three views of Figure 6;
- Figure 9 shows diagrammatically, in section, the perforated cover of Figure 6 applied to a dosing cap inserted in the neck of a container and some steps of the procedure for opening and removing the dosing cap.
In the appended figures corresponding parts will be identified by the same reference numerals.
The subject matter of the present invention is a rigid safety seal for a perforated cover for a container closed by a dosing cap, where the safety seal forms a single body with the perforated cover and has substantially the same diameter as the hole in the perforated cover.
The safety seal rests on the upper edge of the dosing cap - slightly larger in size than the mouth of the neck of the container - which in turn rests on the neck of the container: as a result, the safety seal can be broken only if it raised with respect to the plane of the perforated cover.
This characteristic proves advantageous since it prevents an axial pressure exerted accidentally on the safety seal from being transmitted to the upper part of the dosing cap, causing an accidental breakage of the closure membrane of said cap.
In the appended figures the cover is designated by the numeral 1, the container by 2, the dosing cap by 3 or by 3', the hole of the cover 1 by 4, the removable seal which closes the hole 4 by 5 or by 5', the recess for opening the seal (5, 5') by 6 or by 6', the stem which joins the seal (5, 5') to the cover 1 by 7, the neck of the container 2 by 8, the closure membrane of the dosing cap (3, 3') by 9 and the means adapted to break the closure membrane 9 by 10.
Figure 1 shows diagrammatically three views of a perforated cover 1 bearing a first embodiment 5 of a safety seal made according to the invention: Figure Ia shows diagrammatically a top view of the perforated cover 1 bearing the safety seal 5 intact, Figure Ib shows a bottom view of the perforated cover 1 bearing the safety seal 5 intact and Figure Ic shows a top view of the perforated cover 1 with the safety seal 5 broken and rotated about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1. From Figures Ia and Ib it can be seen that the safety seal 5 is flat, forms a single body with the perforated cover 1, has substantially the same diameter as the hole 4 in the perforated cover 1 and has an arched recessed area which, together with a part of the inner edge of the hole 4, delimits a recess 6 that allows the user to grip the seal 5 to break it (Figure Ic).
The seal 5 is adapted to be applied to a dosing cap 3 without parts protruding with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1.
After breaking, the seal 5 advantageously remains joined to the cover 1 by means of the stem 7.
In the embodiment described here the inner surface of the perforated cover 1 has a plurality of ridges (not shown in the appended figures for simplicity of the graphic representation) distributed along the area adjacent to the hole 4 and adapted to couple the dosing cap 3 to the cover 1 so that the dosing cap 3 can be removed from the neck 8 of the container 2 when the cover 1 is removed; without departing from the scope of the invention, the inner surface of the cover 1 can have, in the area thereof adjacent to the hole 4, an annular ridge.
Figure 2 shows diagrammatically the three views of Figure 1 , sectioned along the plane A-A of Figure 1, bearing the safety seal 5, which is intact in Figures 2a and 2b and is broken and rotated about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 in Figure 2c.
Figure 3 shows diagrammatically, in perspective, the three views of Figure 1 bearing the safety seal 5, which is intact in Figures 3a and 3b and is broken and rotated about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 in Figure 3c.
Figure 4 shows diagrammatically a side view of the perforated cover 1 of Figure 1 with the safety seal 5 broken and rotated about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 ; in Figure 4 the recess 6 which allows the user to grip the seal 5 and break it is clearly visible.
Figure 5 shows diagrammatically, in section, the perforated cover 1 of Figure 1 applied to a dosing cap 3 inserted in the neck 8 of the container 2 and some steps of the procedure for opening and removing the dosing cap 3.
The dosing cap 3 shown in Figure 5 is, by way of non-limiting example, a hermetically sealed dosing cap of the type described in European patent application EP 1 550 619 but, without departing from the scope of the invention, the dosing cap 3 can be any other known dosing cap without parts protruding with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1.
Figure 5a shows the perforated cover 1 applied to the neck 8 of the container 2 above the dosing cap 3, inserted in the neck 8; the safety seal 5 is intact, as can be seen from the top view of Figure 5a', where the recess 6 which allows the seal 5 to be broken is visible.
The closure membrane 9 and the means 10 adapted to break the closure membrane 9 are visible inside the dosing cap 3.
After the seal 5 has been broken and rotated by about 90° (Figures 5b and 5b'), a pressure exerted by the user on the upper part of the cap 3 brings the means 10 to break the membrane 9 (Figure 5c); the user subsequently removes (Figure 5d) the cover 1 together with the cap 3, made integral with the cover 1 by the ridges present inside the cover 1.
Figure 6 shows diagrammatically three views of a perforated cover 1 bearing a second embodiment 5' of a safety seal realised according to the invention: Figure 6a shows diagrammatically a top view of the perforated cover 1 bearing the safety seal 5' intact, Figure 6b shows a bottom view of the perforated cover 1 bearing the safety seal 5' intact and Figure 6c shows a top view of the perforated cover 1 with the safety seal 5' broken and rotated about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1.
The safety seal 5' differs from the seal 5 shown in Figures 1-5 in that it has a domed central area which makes it suitable to be applied over a dosing cap 3' which has at least one part protruding with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 (as, for example, the hermetically sealed dosing cap shown in Figure 9 and described in European patent application WO 2007/006414) and in that the opening recess 6' is situated on the side wall of the domed area of the seal 5'.
Without departing from the scope of the invention, the dosing cap 3' can be any other known dosing cap which has at least one part protruding with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1.
Figure 7 shows diagrammatically the three views of Figure 6 sectioned along the plane B-B of Figure 6, bearing the safety seal 5', which is intact in Figures 7a and 7b and is broken and rotated by about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 in Figure 7c.
Figure 8 shows diagrammatically, in perspective, the three views of Figure 6 bearing the safety seal 5', which is intact in Figures 8a and 8b and is broken and rotated by about 90° with respect to the plane of the perforated cover 1 in Figure 8c.
Figure 9 shows diagrammatically, in section, the perforated cover 1 of Figure 6 applied to a dosing cap 3' inserted in the neck 8 of a container 2 and some steps of the procedure for opening and removing the dosing cap 3'.
Figure 9a shows the perforated cover 1 applied to the neck 8 of the container 2 over the dosing cap 3', inserted in the neck 8; the safety seal 5' is intact, as can be seen from the top view of Figure 9a'.
The closure membrane 9 and the means 10 adapted to break the closure membrane 9 can be seen inside the dosing cap 3'.
After the seal 5' has been broken and rotated by about 90° (Figures 9b and 9b'), a pressure exerted by the user on the upper part of the cap 3' causes the means 10 to break the membrane 9 (Figure 9c); the user subsequently removes (Figure 9d) the cover 1 together with the cap 3', made integral with the cover 1 by the ridges present inside the cover 1.
Without departing from the scope of the invention, a person skilled in the art can make to the perforated cover previously described all the changes and/or improvements suggested by normal experience and/or by the natural evolution of the art.
