Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bottle seals, and more particularly to secondary wine bottle seals, and still more particularly to a resilient wine bottle capsule that may be reused after the bottle has been uncorked.
  • Wine bottles are the most well known of bottles sealed with corks, though several other products also employ cork seals, including olive oils, vinegars, beer, spirits, perfumes, and so forth.
  • the industry standard for sealing wine bottles is to insert a standard or synthetic cork in the bottle mouth and then to provide a secondary seal with a bottle capsule, typically fabricated from tin, polylaminate, or polyvinyl chloride. Until the 1990s, capsules were generally made from lead. Wine producers have also used wax as a secondary seal, as this provides significant enhanced protection from inadvertent oxygen contact with the wine.
  • the present invention is a bottle closure that, in a preferred embodiment, includes a cap with a closed top and a cylindrical side, which together define an open portion.
  • a female threaded element Disposed on an interior side of the cap, either integrally formed or tightly fitted as an insert, is a female threaded element.
  • a complementary threaded collar having first and second clamping portions is also provided, the collar configured to encircle and clamp around a portion of a cylindrical bottle neck so as to form continuous male threads disposed on the exterior sides of the clamping portions.
  • the continuous male threads are sized for threadable mating with the female threads of the cap.
  • the open portion of the cap is placed over the open mouth of the bottle and lowered so as to bring said female threaded element into threadable engagement with the continuous male threads of the threaded collar.
  • the cap is then screwed down onto the threaded collar to provide a very secure bottle closure, capable of withstanding significant impact and internal pressure from dissolved gases in a contained beverage without being dislodged.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a sparkling wine bottle in an unopened state, showing the inventive closure system poised for installation over the bottle mouth (i.e., its pouring spout or "finish");
  • FIG. 2 is an upper perspective view showing the threaded clamp installed on the bottle and the cap with threaded insert prepared for threaded installation thereon;
  • FIG. 3 is the same view showing the cap in the process of being threadably installed on the bottle with the threaded clamp already installed;
  • FIG. 4 is the same view with the bottle closure entirely installed
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional side view in elevation taken along section line 5-5 of
  • FIG. 4
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-section side view in elevation showing an alternative embodiment that includes a central plug.
  • clamp 24 (of the male element) is opened and placed around the bottle neck 52 under collar 54, and the clasp elements approximated, such that upper rim 38 of clamp 24 engages the underside of the bottle collar 54.
  • the cap 12 and female threaded insert 16 are then placed over the mouth of the bottle and brought into threadable engagement with clamp 24 and screwed down until the resilient underside 42 of cap 14 rests securely on the lip 56 of the bottle 50.
  • the closure cannot be dislodged from the bottle with the kinds of forces ordinarily imparted in handling bottles, even when the contents are under high pressure, such as when the contents include a carbonated beverage.
  • FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment 60 in which the underside 62 of the cap interior includes a central plug 64 adapted for insertion into a bottle mouth. This enhances the cap seal and also displaces and/or compresses at least a small volume of air or gas in the bottle.
  • the cap portion of the present invention is preferably fabricated from a resilient material, such as a pure gum rubber, synthetic rubber, or food grade silicone, and further preferably has a shore durometer of approximately Shore A-50 (+/- 5 points) under the ASTM D2240 testing standard.
  • the present invention is particularly well adapted for use in closing sparkling wines bottles, it is also contemplated for use in providing a closure for essentially any kind of beverage or liquid container with a cylindrical open top.
  • the present invention is a closure for securely resealing an opened beverage container, including a threaded male clamp for clamping onto a cylindrical bottle neck; and a threaded cap having female threads on an interior side for matable installation over said threaded male clamp.
  • the clamp is adapted for installation on a bare neck, preferably immediately below a bottle collar.
  • the threaded cap fits over the collar to threadably engage the clamp and thereby secures the cap over the mouth of the container.
  • the present invention has been described as adapted for use as a sparkling wine bottle closure system, it will be appreciated from the foregoing that the instant invention may be adapted through sizing to fit any of a number of containers to convert a cylindrical non-screw top type container into a screw top container.
  • a desirable, though not imperative feature of such a container is that it have a collar under which the clamp can be installed so as to ensure an extremely secure closure.
  • even a bottle without a collar in its finish could be closed with the bottle closure of the present invention through a friction grip alone.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une fermeture destinée à la refermeture étanche de manière sécurisée d'un contenant de boisson ouvert, comprenant un dispositif de serrage mâle fileté destiné à être serré sur un goulot cylindrique de bouteille ; et un bouchon fileté doté de filetages femelles sur un côté intérieur destiné à une installation pouvant être accouplée au dit dispositif de serrage mâle fileté. Le dispositif de serrage est conçu pour une installation sur un goulot nu, de préférence directement sous un collier de bouteille. Le bouchon fileté s'adapte sur le collier de façon à se solidariser par filetage au dispositif de serrage et ainsi fixer le bouchon sur le goulot du récipient.
