TAPÓN PARA BOTELLAS  BOTTLE PLUG
D E S C R I P C I Ó N OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN D E S C R I P C I O N OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la invención aquí descrita es un tapón para envases, más específicamente para botellas. Más concretamente se detalla en el presente documento un tapón para botellas que permite no sólo el embotellado de las mismas mediante el cierre por inserción del tapón de manera que cierre la boca de la misma; sino que además permita cerrar y volver a abrir posteriormente la botella. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN The object of the invention described herein is a stopper for containers, more specifically for bottles. More specifically, a bottle cap that not only bottling them by means of the closure by inserting the cap so as to close the mouth thereof is detailed herein; but also allow the bottle to be closed and reopened later. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A día de hoy existen diferentes tipos de tapones para tapar botellas de vino que podríamos resumir en: -Tapones a rosca: Estos tapones pueden ser de aluminio o plástico. Las botellas tapadas con este tipo de tapón se pueden abrir y cerrar manualmente con facilidad con un movimiento giratorio sobre el tapón. Este tapón tiene una baja transferencia de oxígeno al vino por lo que permite una muy buena conservación del mismo evitando su oxidación. Today there are different types of stoppers to cover wine bottles that we could summarize in: - Screw caps: These caps can be made of aluminum or plastic. Bottles covered with this type of cap can be easily opened and closed manually with a rotating movement on the cap. This cap has a low transfer of oxygen to the wine so it allows a very good preservation of it avoiding its oxidation.
-Tapones tipo "T" o cabezudos: Están fabricados generalmente en dos partes, cabeza (parte superior) y espiga (parte inferior que entra en la botella) pegadas. La cabeza puede ser de plástico, madera o metal, y la espiga de corcho natural o espiga sintética. Existen también modelos fabricados de un solo material llamados monocomponentes, que pueden ser también de corcho natural o sintético. Las botellas cerradas con este tipo de tapones son abiertas manualmente sin necesidad de sacacorchos y el tapón se puede reinsertar fácilmente en la botella para volverla a cerrar. Este tipo de tapones tienen una alta transferencia de oxígeno por lo que son utilizados para vinos que se tienen que consumir en breve espacio de tiempo ya que en caso contrario presentarán problemas de oxidación. -Type caps or big heads: They are usually made of two parts, head (top) and spike (bottom that enters the bottle) glued. The head can be made of plastic, wood or metal, and the natural cork spike or synthetic spike. There are also models made of a single material called monocomponents, which can also be natural or synthetic cork. Closed bottles with this type of cap are opened manually without Need for corkscrew and the cap can be easily reinserted into the bottle to close it again. These types of corks have a high oxygen transfer so they are used for wines that have to be consumed in a short period of time since otherwise they will present oxidation problems.
-Tapones cilindricos: El tapón cilindrico es con diferencia el más utilizado como cierre de botellas de vino. Se fabrica generalmente de corcho natural, corcho triturado con aglutinantes o con materiales sintéticos. Es necesario un sacacorchos para abrir la botella (descorchar) y generalmente es muy difícil o imposible volver a taparla manualmente una vez abierta (retapar). Debido a esta dificultad asociada al retapado, se han diseñado tapones con densidades bajas que permiten cerrar la botella después de abrirla, pero la baja densidad del tapón permite una transferencia de oxígeno alta que provoca la oxidación del contenido de la botella, como puede ser vino, si éste no es consumido rápidamente después del embotellado. -Cylindrical corks: The cylindrical cap is by far the most used as a closure for wine bottles. It is usually made of natural cork, cork crushed with binders or synthetic materials. A corkscrew is necessary to open the bottle (uncork) and it is usually very difficult or impossible to manually re-cover it once it has been opened (reuptake). Due to this difficulty associated with reupholstering, caps with low densities have been designed that allow the bottle to be closed after opening, but the low density of the cap allows a high oxygen transfer that causes oxidation of the bottle contents, such as wine , if this is not consumed quickly after bottling.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
En este documento se detalla un tapón para botella que permite el retapado de la misma ya que presenta una morfología específicamente diseñada para permitir que pueda ser usado para el embotellado de bebidas de manera que las compañías embotelladoras puedan usar el tapón aquí descrito para tapar las botellas; así como permitir al consumidor volver a tapar la botella (retapado) una vez ha sido abierta (descorchado). Asimismo el tapón objeto de la invención evita la alta transferencia de oxígeno que provoca la oxidación del contenido de la botella si éste no es consumido poco después de su embotellado. This document details a bottle cap that allows the reupholstering of the bottle as it has a morphology specifically designed to allow it to be used for bottling drinks so that bottling companies can use the cap described here to cover the bottles. ; as well as allowing the consumer to recap the bottle (reupholstered) once it has been opened (uncorked). Likewise, the cap object of the invention avoids the high oxygen transfer caused by the oxidation of the contents of the bottle if it is not consumed shortly after bottling.
El tapón de la invención puede ser sintético y encontrarse conformado en material polimérico, ya sea a partir de un único polímero o una mezcla de varios polímeros; si bien también se prevé el uso de materiales aglomerados moldeables por inyección, o corcho con un proceso de fabricación dedicado. También puede tratarse preferentemente de un tapón cilindrico fabricado en un elastómero, preferentemente polietileno, con dos diámetros diferentes muy diferenciados y unidos por una zona de transición. Por una parte el diámetro más 5 ancho consigue un excelente cierre con un paso de oxígeno al vino muy bajo por su alta densidad, y por otra parte, el diámetro menor permite un retapado, con lo que cumple con el cierre y el retapado. The cap of the invention can be synthetic and be formed in polymeric material, either from a single polymer or a mixture of several polymers; although the use of agglomerated injection moldable materials, or cork with a dedicated manufacturing process is also planned. It may also be preferably a cylindrical cap made of an elastomer, preferably polyethylene, with two different diameters very differentiated and joined by a transition zone. On the one hand, the widest diameter 5 achieves an excellent closure with a very low oxygen passage to the wine due to its high density, and on the other hand, the smaller diameter allows an reupholstering, which complies with the closure and reupholstering.

De manera preferente se tiene que el 15 extremo libre del cuerpo lateral no presenta un canto vivo sino que tiene un reborde redondeado, con un radio por ejemplo de 2,5 mm o en ángulo - preferentemente 45o- que facilita la inserción del cuerpo lateral en la botella; esta función es la misma que la del la transición del cuerpo central. Mientras el reborde redondeado o en ángulo facilita la inserción del cuerpo lateral, que tiene una 20 sección menor, el chaflán redondeado o en ángulo de la transición facilita la inserción del cuerpo central. In one aspect of the invention, the cap has a central body and a lateral body, smaller in section than the central body, located next to the central body with a transition zone between the two bodies that is intended to join the difference of cross sections by means of a chamfer that can be angled, for example, with a 45 ° angle, or rounded, for example with a radius of 1.75 mm. It is preferred that the free end of the lateral body does not have a sharp edge but has a rounded edge, with a radius for example of 2.5 mm or at an angle - preferably 45 or - which facilitates the insertion of the lateral body in the bottle; This function is the same as that of the transition of the central body. While the rounded or angled flange facilitates the insertion of the lateral body, which has a smaller section, the rounded or angled bevel of the transition facilitates the insertion of the central body.
En otro aspecto de la invención se puede tener un cuerpo lateral adicional, de sección igual o similar a la cuerpo lateral anteriormente citado, ubicado en elIn another aspect of the invention an additional lateral body, of equal or similar section to the aforementioned lateral body, located in the
25 extremo libre del cuerpo central, teniéndose de esta manera un cuerpo central y dos cuerpos laterales, uno a cada lado del cuerpo central. En esta posible configuración se puede tener, al igual que en el aspecto anterior de la invención, que entre el cuerpo central y el cuerpo lateral adicional se tiene una zona de transición entre ambos cuerpos que tiene por objeto unir la diferencia de25 free end of the central body, thus having a central body and two lateral bodies, one on each side of the central body. In this possible configuration it can be had, as in the previous aspect of the invention, that between the central body and the additional lateral body there is a transition zone between both bodies which aims to unite the difference in
30 secciones mediante un chaflán que puede ser en ángulo o redondeado. De manera preferente se tiene que el extremo libre del cuerpo lateral adicional no presenta un canto vivo, sino que tiene un reborde redondeado o en ángulo que facilita la inserción en la botella; esta función es la misma que la de la transición del cuerpo central. Mientras el reborde redondeado o en ángulo facilita la inserción del cuerpo lateral adicional, que tiene una sección menor, el chaflán redondeado o en ángulo de la transición facilita la inserción del cuerpo central. 30 sections using a chamfer that can be angled or rounded. Preferably, the free end of the additional lateral body must not be It has a lively edge, but has a rounded or angled edge that facilitates insertion into the bottle; This function is the same as that of the transition of the central body. While the rounded or angled flange facilitates the insertion of the additional lateral body, which has a smaller section, the rounded or angled chamfer of the transition facilitates the insertion of the central body.
En posibles realizaciones de cualquiera de las configuraciones anteriormente citadas se pueden tener combinaciones de tipos de transiciones y bordes, es decir se pueden tener tapones con uno o dos cuerpos laterales y a su que cada uno de ellos comprenda transiciones en ángulo o redondeadas y respectivos rebordes en ángulo o redondeadas; dando lugar a múltiples posibles configuraciones que presenten uno o dos cuerpos laterales y transiciones y rebordes en ángulo o redondeadas.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN En una posible realización del objeto de la invención se procede a un embotellado de una botella mediante un tapón (1 ) para botellas que es monolítico y fabncado en un material moldeable por inyección como puede ser un material poliméhco como es un elastómero, preferentemente polietileno. En posibles realizaciones alternativas el tapón (1 ) puede ser fabncado en distintos materiales moldeables por inyección, o en corcho o materiales aglomerados, como puede ser corcho triturado con aglutinantes. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In a possible embodiment of the object of the invention, a bottle is bottled by means of a bottle cap (1) that is monolithic and manufactured in an injection moldable material such as a polymethyl material such as a elastomer, preferably polyethylene. In possible alternative embodiments, the plug (1) can be manufactured in different injection moldable materials, or in cork or agglomerated materials, such as cork crushed with binders.
Para llevar a cabo el embotellado se procede a insertar en una planta embotelladora el tapón (1 ) en el interior de la boca y/o cuello de la botella de manera que: un cuerpo central (2), al menos una transición (5) que se encuentra ubicada en al menos uno de los extremos de dicho cuerpo central (2), y al menos un cuerpo lateral (3, 4) que parte de la transición (5) y es coaxial con el cuerpo central (2) y de menor sección transversal que aquella del cuerpo central (2), se encuentren completamente insertados de manera que el tapón (1 ) quede enrasado con el labio de la botella. To carry out bottling, the cap (1) is inserted into a bottling plant inside the mouth and / or neck of the bottle so that: a central body (2), at least one transition (5) which is located at least one of the ends of said central body (2), and at least one lateral body (3, 4) that starts from the transition (5) and is coaxial with the central body (2) and of smaller cross section than that of the central body (2), are completely inserted so that the cap (1) is flush with the lip of the bottle.
Para que la inserción del tapón (1 ) cumpla con la función de cierre, dado que un interior del cuello de la botella es un volumen de revolución - cilindrico o troncocónico normalmente - al menos uno de los cuerpos (2, 3, 4) es un sólido de revolución, preferentemente cilindrico. Una vez la botella llega al consumidor, éste procede a su apertura haciendo uso de un sacacorchos que se inserta en tapón (1 ). Una vez abierta la botella, y si no se consume su contenido, ésta debe ser tapada de nuevo, para ello el tapón (1 ) presenta en una realización prefenda el cuerpo lateral (3, 4) con un borde redondeado (6) - con un radio de 1 ,75 mm.- o en ángulo -con un ángulo de 45o- y con la transición (5) entre le cuerpo central (2) y el cuerpo lateral (3, 4) que es plana y forma un ángulo de 45° con respecto del eje longitudinal del cuerpo central (2) o bien, en una posible realización alternativa, una transición (5) redondeada de radio igual a 2,5 mm. Dicho borde redondeado (6) permite insertar el cuerpo lateral (3, 4) en el interior de la boca de la botella para cerrarlo de manera que se fácilmente retirable ya que el cuerpo lateral (3, 4) tiene una sección transversal comprendida entre 17 mm y 22 mm; o si se desea, al seguir presionando el tapón (1 ), hacer pasar la transición (5) por el labio o boca de la botella para insertar el cuerpo central (2) - que tiene una sección transversal comprendida entre 19 mm y 24 mm - de tal manera que el cuerpo central (2) cierre la botella mediante presión del mismo contra las paredes interiores del cuello de la botella. For the insertion of the cap (1) to fulfill the closing function, since an inside of the neck of the bottle is a volume of revolution - normally cylindrical or frustoconical - at least one of the bodies (2, 3, 4) is a solid of revolution, preferably cylindrical. Once the bottle reaches the consumer, it proceeds to its opening using a corkscrew that is inserted in a cap (1). Once the bottle is opened, and if its contents are not consumed, it must be capped again, for this the cap (1) presents in one embodiment the side body (3, 4) with a rounded edge (6) - with a radius of 1.75 mm.- or at an angle - with an angle of 45 or - and with the transition (5) between the central body (2) and the lateral body (3, 4) that is flat and forms an angle 45 ° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the central body (2) or, in a possible alternative embodiment, a rounded transition (5) of radius equal to 2.5 mm. Said rounded edge (6) allows the lateral body (3, 4) to be inserted inside the mouth of the bottle to close it so that it is easily removable since the lateral body (3, 4) has a cross-section between 17 mm and 22 mm; or if desired, by continuing to press the cap (1), pass the transition (5) through the lip or mouth of the bottle to insert the central body (2) - which has a cross-section between 19 mm and 24 mm - in such a way that the central body (2) closes the bottle by pressing it against the inner walls of the neck of the bottle.
En una realización preferente del tapón (1 ) se tiene un cuerpo central (2) con un único cuerpo lateral (3, 4) con una longitud según su eje longitudinal comprendida entre 2 mm y 15 mm, si bien en posibles realizaciones aún más preferidas mostradas en las figuras se tiene un tapón (1 ) con el cuerpo central (2) y sendos cuerpos laterales (3, 4) respectivamente ubicados a ambos lados del cuerpo central (2) y con una longitud según su eje longitudinal comprendida entre 2 mm y 15 mm, como los tapones mostrados en las figuras 1 a, 1 b, 2a, 2b, 3a y 3b donde se detallan tapones (1 ) con distintas transiciones (5) y con dos cuerpos laterales (3, 4). In a preferred embodiment of the plug (1) there is a central body (2) with a single lateral body (3, 4) with a length along its longitudinal axis between 2 mm and 15 mm, although in possible even more preferred embodiments shown in the figures there is a plug (1) with the central body (2) and two lateral bodies (3, 4) respectively located on both sides of the central body (2) and with a length along its longitudinal axis between 2 mm and 15 mm, like the plugs shown in Figures 1 a, 1 b, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b where plugs (1) with different transitions (5) and with two lateral bodies (3, 4) are detailed.
En cualquier posible realización del tapón (1 ) se tiene que éste puede tener o no el cuerpo lateral (3, 4) con un borde redondeado (6) con el citado radio de 1 ,75 mm que permite y facilita la inserción del tapón (1 ) en la botella al realizar el cierre de la botella una vez ha sido descorchada. Es prefenble que lo tenga pues facilita la labor de inserción del cuerpo lateral (2, 3) en la botella, pero no es fundamental por lo que puede no tenerlo. In any possible embodiment of the cap (1), it is possible that it may or may not have the lateral body (3, 4) with a rounded edge (6) with said radius of 1.75 mm that allows and facilitates the insertion of the cap ( 1) in the bottle when making The closure of the bottle has once been uncorked. It is preferable to have it because it facilitates the work of insertion of the lateral body (2, 3) in the bottle, but it is not essential so it may not have it.
