Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seal for beer barrels.
  • seals can be used on the necks of the beer barrels to prevent improper access to the content extraction valve.
  • These seals have a configuration that forms a cover that protects said valve, and that continues in a skirt that overlaps perimeter in the neck of the barrel.
  • it has retention harpoons, which act against an extreme annular shoulder of said neck preventing the removal of the seal without breaking it;
  • demolding windows are arranged in the area of the lid.
  • the opening or breakage of the seal is provided through a breakdown portion defined by first lines of weakening arranged in the lid, which are initially parallel defining an end tab provided with a nail, and then diverge and extend through the skirt, to allow its complete separation from the rest of the seal also in this area.
  • This configuration therefore, materializes the rupture of the seal in two parts: a first part corresponding to the breakdown portion with its tongue and widened area in the area of the divergence of the weakening lines, and another second part that forms a kind of clamp that covers more than half of the initial surface of the seal, which is often supported and retained in the neck of the barrel, which requires its manual removal.
  • the barrel is often connected to the cooler without removing this second part, producing deformations and crushing in the same that then make it difficult to remove it in the packaging company when it is processed for washing and refilling, forcing time and labor resources to be derived for this purpose, which results in a higher cost of the process.
  • the seal of the invention has a configuration that solves the exposed technical problem, since it produces the rupture of the seal during its opening in the necessary number and configuration of parts so that it is not possible to place or remain stable on the barrel neck.
  • the seal is of the type comprising a lid with a perimeter overlap skirt at the neck of the beer barrel, and which is provided with retaining harpoons at an annular shoulder end of said neck, having windows for demolding the harpoons.
  • the conventional configuration of the seal in addition, comprises a breakable portion for opening defined by first lines of weakening arranged in the cover, initially parallel defining an end tab provided with a nail, and then divergent and provided with first extensions by the skirt.
  • the seal comprises a second line of weakening in the skirt, in correspondence with the area of the nail, in order to cause the seal to rupture in at least three parts.
  • this second line of weakening breaks during the opening of the seal separating the two equal sectors mentioned, which no longer have sufficient stability to remain placed on the barrel neck, and fall on both sides.
  • Figure 1 Shows two perspective views of the seal of the invention.
  • Figure 2. Shows a bottom plan view of the seal of the invention.
  • Figure 3. Shows a side view of the seal of the invention and its presentation on the neck of a beer barrel.
  • Figure 4. Shows a bottom plan view of the seal of the invention, once broken or opened, and its division into three parts.
  • Figure 5. Shows a perspective view of a variant of the seal of the invention that implements improvements that provide better hygienic conditions inside the barrel neck.
  • Figure 6 shows a top plan view of the variant represented in Figure 5.
  • Figure 7 shows a bottom plan view of the variant represented in Figures 5 and 6.
  • Figure 8 shows a sectional view, along the line A-A represented in Figure 7, of the corresponding variant placed on the neck or sprat of the barrel.
  • Figure 9 shows a detail in section, along the line B represented in Figure 7, of the corresponding variant placed on the neck or sprat of the barrel, where one of the lateral closures arranged on one of the sides of the tongue at your junction with the nail.
  • the seal (1) for beer barrels of the invention is of the type comprising a lid (2) with a skirt (3) that overlaps perimeter in the neck (4) of the beer barrel, and is retained in an annular shoulder (4a) end thereof (see fig 3) through some harpoons (5), also comprising demolding windows (6) (see fig 1) that allow access to said harpoons (5) to unmold the seal (1 ) during its manufacture.
  • the cover (2) of the seal (1) prevents undue manipulation of the extraction valve, forcing it to break.
  • the seal (1) comprises a breakable portion (7) (see figs. 2 and 4) defined by first lines of weakening (8) arranged in the cover (2), which are initially parallel defining an end tab (9) equipped with a nail (10) (see fig. 1), and then they are divergent - in this concrete example of embodiment at 120 degrees -, these divergent sections comprising first extensions (8a) by the skirt (3), which produces the complete breakdown of the breakable portion (7), both in the area of the cover (2) and the skirt (3).
  • the improvement proposed by the invention includes the incorporation of a second line of additional weakening (1 1) in the skirt (3), in correspondence with the nail (10), in order to cause the seal (1) to break in, at less, three parts (7, 20, 21) (see fig 4). Indeed, with the conventional configuration the seal was divided only in two parts when it was broken for opening. In addition, frequently the non-breakable part was placed on the neck of the barrel, making it more difficult and more expensive the operations of washing and subsequent filling of the same.
  • the invention has provided for the provision of third lines of weakening (12) (see figs 1 and 2) in the wide area (13) belonging to the cover (2) of the breakable portion (7), and having second extensions (12a) by the skirt (3).
  • These third lines of weakening favor the flexibility and breakage of the seal when the material has minor flexibilities, such as anti-shock polystyrene.
  • these third lines of weakening (12) are convergent, symmetrical with respect to the tongue (9), and are not cut, forming an angle to each other between 45 and 90 degrees, and more specifically 67 degrees.
  • first lines of weakening (8) and / or the third lines of weakening (12) are ideally practiced by the inner face of the cover (2), while the first extensions (8a) of the first lines of weakening (8), the second extensions (12a) of the third lines of weakening (12) and the second line of weakening (1 1) are practiced by the outer face of the skirt (3).
  • Another additional feature of the invention comprises the arrangement of centering tabs (14) with the neck (4) of the barrel, which emerge radially from the inside of the skirt (3) as seen in the figures.
  • Said centering tabs (14) preferably comprise a bevel (15) embocador that favors the insertion of the seal in the neck (4) of the barrel.
  • the demolding windows (6) are comprised in the full contact area (100) of the cover (2) with the edge (4b) of the neck ( 4) (or sprat) of the barrel (see fig 8), without exceeding said contact area (100).
  • the very edge (4b) of the neck (4) is responsible for closing the demolding windows (6) preventing the entry of dust or liquids that can contaminate the inside of the neck (4).
  • the first lines of weakening (8) and the third lines of weakening (12) are extended to the edge of said lid (2), without concurring in any demolding window (6) as seen more clearly in figures 5 to 7, since otherwise the liquids retained between each demolding window (6) and the edge (4b) of the neck (4) could end up leaking inside by capillarity.
  • first lines of weakening (8) and third lines of weakening (12) are practiced inside the cover (2) and then, in the contact area (100) with the edge (4b) of the neck (4), on the outside thereof as seen in figures 6 and 7, which it achieves full support of the cover (2) with the entire contour of the contact area (100), while simultaneously maintaining the cover (2) a flat central area (22) to improve screen printing or bonding of a label, not represented, since in this area said lines (8, 12) run inside.
  • sealing seals (16) on the tongue (9), which are totally or partially overlapping on the edge (4b) of the neck (4) in the contact area (100) is also provided to also achieve The sealing in this area where the nail itself (10) constitutes a liquid and / or dirt entry window.
  • Said sealing closures preferably comprise lateral closures (16) arranged on both sides of the tongue (9) at their junction with the nail (10) (see figs. 6, 7 and 9).
  • ribs (5a) for reinforcing the harpoons (5) (see Figure 6, through the demolding windows (5)) that are arranged inside them and which They allow dimensioning the various lines of weakening with less depth to avoid accidental breakage and preserve the internal hygiene of the barrel (4) of the barrel. Said nerves (5a) can be found prolonged inside the skirt (3).
