Definitions

• the present invention describes a multi-flow stopper where the pouring zone is a circular section with a flange projected outwards.
• the cap is suitable for blind use.
• the cap is suitable for pouring oils and suspensions.
• the closest document describes a multiflow plug comprising a horizontal partition with a diametral groove that joins two holes of different surface.
• the cap described by PCT / ES2013000254 has two different U-shaped grooves.
• the device described by PCT / ES2013000254 allows to obtain two flow rates of liquid. However, for use it is necessary to tilt the container along the grooved paths. If the container does not tilt along the grooved paths, the liquid drips and stains the outside of the container.
• sauces or vinaigrettes are formed by a suspension that has a liquid phase (oils, vinegars, wines ...) and a solid phase (species, aromatic herbs ...) that are macerated in the liquid phase.
• the problem solved by the invention is to obtain a plug suitable for use by blind people.
• the solution found by the inventors is a plug where the pouring area is a circumference with a flange projected outwards.
• the cap allows the liquid contained in the container to be poured without dripping, without killing the outside of the container, regardless of the orientation of the bottle during pouring.
• another problem solved by the invention is to improve the flow of the liquid when it is poured through the hole of smaller surface.
• the solution found by the inventors is that the smaller hole has a surface between 4-12 mm 2 . If the surface of the hole is less than 4 mm 2 the discharge flow is intermittent while if the The surface of the hole with a smaller surface area is greater than 12 mm 2. The amount of liquid spilled cannot be controlled.
• the plug When the smaller hole has a surface between 4-12 mm 2 , the plug is suitable for pouring suspensions and / or vinaigrettes. If you do not want the species to fall, the liquid is poured through the hole of smaller surface area, since the surface of the hole is smaller than the size of the species (cayenne, peppercorns). If you want the species to fall, liquid is poured through the larger hole that allows the species to fall.
• another problem solved by the invention is to indicate where the holes of greater and lesser surface are located. The solution found by the inventors is to include tactile means of identification of different sizes.
• Figure 1 shows an isometric view of the cap Figure 2 shows a section of the cap Figure 3 shows a zenital view of the cap Description of the invention
• the plug (1) described is formed by a cylindrical body, which in its lower part has a horizontal partition (2).
• the horizontal partition (2) has a diametral groove (3) that joins two holes of different surface (4 a, 4 b). As shown in figure 3 the holes (4 a, 4 b) They are located at the ends of the horizontal partition (2). In this way the accumulation of the product poured into the horizontal partition (2) is avoided.
• the upper end of the cap has a circular section (5) and a flange (6) projected outward, which prevents the liquid from dripping.
• the cap at its lower end has means for fixing the cap to the container, for example by thread or pressure.
• the cap comprises tactile identification means of different sizes alienated with the holes. These means, in a preferred way, are located in the perimeter skirt (8) to facilitate its location by the blind. In the event that the holes (4a and 4b) were not at the ends of the horizontal partition (2) when using the cap, the liquid would accumulate on the partition (2).
• the tactile identification means can be notches, rough surfaces, grooves, points with different relief or different number of points in relief. Also the tactile identification means can be written in Braille.
• the fixing of the cap to the container is carried out by means of a thread that ends in a perimeter skirt (8) that acts as a stop.
• the perimeter skirt (8) comprises grooves (7 a) and grooves (7 b) as tactile identification means.
• the grooves (7 a) are aligned with the largest surface hole (4 a) and the grooves (7 b) are aligned with the smallest hole surface (4 b), as seen in figure 3, the grooves (7 a) are larger than the stretch marks (7 b).
• the orifice of smaller surface area (4 b) is a circle with a radius of 1.2 millimeters leading to a surface of 4.5 mm 2 .
• the hole allows to obtain a constant flow of oil, with a density of 0.9 g / ml and a surface tension of 0.033 N / m.
• the cap described with a radius of 1.25 mm was used to pour a suspension of oil and cayenne seeds, garlic cloves or peppercorns.
• the suspension was poured through the smaller surface hole, only the oil fell, while when the suspension was poured through the larger surface hole, the oil and species fell. In both situations, there was no accumulation of oil or species in the horizontal partition.
