Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottle cap, and more specifically to a bottle cap for sealing the opening of bottle that accommodates liquids such as medical liquid, drinking water, liquor and other liquids.
  • bottle caps of various shapes are adopted as a means of opening and closing bottles accommodating drinking water or fresh water to prevent leakage or deterioration of the accommodated contents during distribution after input of the contents.
  • Bottle caps that are generally divided into a screw type bottle cap which uses an opening and closing method by screwing and an insert type bottle cap which uses an opening and closing method by insert means.
  • the screw type bottle cap is of a configuration in which a bottle cap having internal threads formed on the inner circumference is assembled to the opening of bottle having external threads formed on the outer circumference. Therefore, sealability is high, so it is used as a bottle cap of the bottle for accommodating the contents requiring air tightness such as carbonated beverages or beer.
  • a bottle cap is of a configuration assembled to the external threads formed on the outer circumference of the bottle, so not only a considerable force is needed to open, but also the bottle cap should be turned repeatedly to open the bottle, so it has an inconvenience that it is difficult to open it at once.

  • the bottle cap having the depressed circumference portion 11 formed can be stripped only by opening the cut- and-open portion 30, so the function of preventing unintended breakaway of the bottle cap during transport or carrying is further improved.
  • the bottle cap is provided with the cut-and-open portion 30, so it is preferable that the bottle cap is not opened by any other factor except the opening attempt by the cut-and-open portion 30.
  • the circumference portion 11 having the bottom section depressed like this plays a role of preventing the bottle cap from being easily opened even during the opening attempt by an abnormal method using another tool or fingernail.
  • Such a depressed circumference portion 11 can be applied to the bottle cap of not only the second embodiment but also the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 28 is a side view of the bottle cap according to the second embodiment, and for the sake of convenience of description and illustration, the cut-and-open portion 30 is shown with dotted lines.
  • the circumference portion 11 of the first cap has a depressed portion 36 formed, in which the lower portion is cut to be curved upward in the portion where the opening knob 34 is formed.
  • Figs. 29 to 34 illustrate cutting lines or breaking lines formed on the circumference portion on the opposite side of the cut-and-open portion of the bottle cap according to the second embodiment.
  • a cutting line l ie having the inner circumference cut out so as to have a thickness thinner than the other portions from the bottom end of the circumference portion upward to a predetermined length.
  • such a cutting line 1 Ic has an advantage that it can play a role as tamper indication portions because it is broken when the user opens the bottle cap.
  • a cutting line 1 Id can be formed on the outer surface of the circumference portion 11 of the first cap.
  • a breaking line 1 Ie in which the bottom end is partially cut upward to a predetermined length and punched in a dotted- line form, can also be formed on the circumference portion 11 of the first cap as shown in Fig. 34.
  • Such a breaking line l ie has an advantage that it can give the feeling of being broken more clearly than the cutting lines when opening the bottle cap.
  • the present invention can be used as a bottle cap which has high enough sealability to be adopted in bottles accommodating carbonated beverages, can be opened by simple operation, is environmentally friendly and is low in manufacturing costs.

Abstract

Le bouchon de bouteille de l'invention est constitué d'un premier bouchon et d'un second bouchon ajusté dans la partie creuse du premier bouchon. Le premier bouchon présente une partie circulaire formée de manière à couvrir la circonférence extérieure du col de la bouteille, et une partie marginale supérieure formée sur le bord supérieur de la partie circulaire de façon à fermer le col de la bouteille. La partie marginale supérieure comprend une zone enfoncée vers le bas formant une paroi latérale qui vient en contact étanche à l'air avec la circonférence intérieure du col de la bouteille. Le second bouchon comprend une partie d'insertion qui sinsère dans la partie enfoncée et une partie allongée qui s'étend vers l'extérieur depuis un sommet de la partie d'insertion. Le bouchon de bouteille de l'invention a pour effet d'assurer l'étanchéité entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du col de la bouteille, ce qui améliore la bouteille et le bouchon de bouteille.
