Description

CAP DEVICE CONTAINER OF A SUBSTANCE
The present invention relates to a cap device container of a substance .
Various types of drinks particularly suitable in some circumstances are widespread and much used nowadays. Examples of such substances are food and/or energy supplements, tonics and also substances of a dietetic type which are taken in sports, nutritional control practices, etc. The above drinks generally consist of special active substances, such as for example mineral salts or others, which are diluted in water before the step of closing the relevant bottle . According to such procedure just described, these drinks can therefore be purchased on the market already ready for consumption.
Nevertheless, nowadays there are other procedures for obtaining such drinks and they consist in that are commercially available single dose packages which only contain the above mentioned active substances to be diluted separately in water at a later time. Such packages therefore contain only the soluble substance suitable for making with water the particular drink whose characteristics depend on the soluble substance itself.
Generally, such single dose packages are bags and they offer the main advantage over already ready drinks available on the market of not having to necessarily carry along with such substances also the relevant bottles containing water. In fact, the transport of the latter, besides being highly disadvantageous from the weight standpoint, exhibits the disadvantage of requiring wide space occupied as compared, for example, to a simple bag. According to such embodiments of single dose bag containers only when it one decides to take the dissolved substance, a bottle, generally of water, is procured wherein the substance itself is introduced.
However, also this procedure, due to the types of single dose packages currently existing, exhibit some disadvantages. Among such disadvantages it is noted, for example, that the procedure of introducing the substance from the relevant package into the bottle does not always take place without waste of a portion of the substance itself, thus altering the water-dissolved substance ratio. Disadvantageously, the alteration of such ratio may even deprive the drink of the effects sought with the introduction of the substance itself into the water. The object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of solving the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above in a very simple, inexpensive and particularly functional manner. Another object is to provide a cap device container of a substance which should be firmly applicable to an inlet of a container for fluids for making a cap and which should concurrently allow pouring into the fluid, when desired, all the substance contained therein without waste.
Another object is to provide a cap device container of a substance which should further allow accessing the drink thus made without having to remove the cap itself. Another object is to provide a cap device container of a substance which should be capable of preserving the substance contained therein unaltered and safely. These objects according to the present invention are achieved by making a cap device container of a substance as described in claim 1. Further features of the invention are described in the following claims .
The features and the advantages of a cap device container of a substance according to the present invention will appear more clearly from the following description, made by way of an indicative non-limiting example with reference to the annexed schematic drawings, wherein: figure 1 shows a section view of an embodiment of a cap device container of a substance according to the present invention in a closed position; figure 2 shows a section view of the cap device container of a substance of figure 1 in an open position,- and figure 3 shows a bottom view of the cap device container of a substance according to the present invention of figure 1.
With reference to the figures, there is shown a cap device
10 wherein a substance is contained. Such cap device 10 is applicable to an inlet of a container for fluids and comprising a first portion 11, fixable to the inlet, and a second portion 14 mounted coaxially into the first portion 11.
In particular an internally perforated sleeve-shaped element 13, provided with a first open top end 12 capped by a freely removable closing element 15, extends, protruding at the top, from the second portion 14.
According to the invention, the perforated element 13 also comprises a second open bottom end 16 which abuts on a shutting element 17 supported in a bottom opening obtained in the first portion 11 inside the inlet.
According to the invention, the substance contained in cap
10 is originally firmly placed inside such perforated element
13 between the freely removable closing element 15 and the shutting element 17 as visible in figure 1.
Such coupling preferably envisages an island- shaped geometry of the shutting element 17, as is well seen in figure 3.
According to the invention, the second portion 14 is movable between a first closing position, figure 1, wherein the second end 16 of the perforated element 13 is in the above abutment with the shutting element 17 and holds the substance contained in the perforated element 13 , and a second opening position wherein the second portion 14 is raised for releasing the second end 16 of the perforated' element 13 from the engagement with the shutting element 17. In such open configuration, visible in figure 2, the substance is therefore free to mix with the fluid contained in the container and the drink thus formed is in turn free to pour from cap 10 crossing the perforated element 13 without cap 10 itself being removed from the inlet. To ensure a firm coupling of cap 10 with the relevant container, it is provided for the first portion 11 to comprise retaining means 18 for the fixing thereof on the container inlet. According to the embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2, such retaining means 18 for fixing cap 10 on the container are removable fixing retaining means and in particular they are a portion threaded in a manner complementary to a thread present on the inlet of the fluid container. A threaded coupling is thus obtained according to such example .
Alternatively it is possible to provide for the cap device 10 container of a substance according to the present invention to comprise other retaining means 18 such as for example a portion of the first portion 11 shaped complementary to the inlet of the fluid container for obtaining a snap-wise coupling .
As already mentioned above, the second portion 14 is movable relative to the first portion 11 which is fixed on the container. To control such movement the cap device 10 can further comprise travel end means for the vertical rising movement of the second portion 14 relative to the first portion 11. As is visible in figure 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of such travel end means are an annular protruding profile 19 located external to the second end 16 of the perforated element 13 suitable for making an abutment with a top abutment surface 20 of the first portion 11. Finally, according to an embodiment, it is provided for the removable element 15 suitable for closing the first end 12 of the perforated element 13 at the top to be a removable aluminium film.
It is totally easy to understand what the operation of the device object of the invention is. The cap device container of a substance according to the present invention is firmly applicable to an inlet of a container for fluids for making a cap selectively open or closed and concurrently it allows pouring, when desired, all of a substance contained therein, without waste, into the fluid of the contents of the container it is retained to.
Moreover, such cap container of a substance allows accessing the drink thus made without having to be removed thanks to the relative movement of two component portions thereof . Also, such cap is capable of preserving the substance contained therein unaltered and safely. It has thus been seen that a cap device container of a substance according to the present invention achieves the objects described above.
Several changes and variations can be made to the cap device container of a substance thus conceived, all falling within the same inventive concept; moreover, all details can be replaced with technically equivalent elements . In the practice, the materials used as well as their sizes, can be whatever according to the technical requirements .
