Abstract

The present utility model relates to a structural arrangement for a bottle cap, pertaining to the technical field of packaging accessories in general, and it relates more particularly to a cap for bottles for beverages, such as beer, water, soft drinks, or any other beverage/liquid for which a bottle is used as a packaging container, giving rise to very advantageous convenient, safe and functional results. The bottle cap comprises a metallic cap (1) coupled to a lever (2), formed by a grip region (21), with a horizontal extension (22) including a vertical portion (23), provided at the end of two curved/hook bodies (24) for engagement in the peripheral region of the bottle (neck) and under the peripheral region of the cap (1), which are connected by an arcuate body (plate) (25) for distributing the force exerted upon opening said cap (1), which has part of the peripheral wall accommodated on the protrusion (26) formed by the vertical portion (23) and the curved/hook bodies (24). The cap (1) and the lever (2) may optionally be produced as a single component. In addition, structural variants of the cap are provided.

Description

CONSTRUCTIVE PROVISION INTRODUCED IN

BOTTLE

[01] This Utility Model Patent is a constructive arrangement introduced in a bottle cap belonging to the packaging accessories technical industry in general, more particularly a beverage bottle cap such as beer , water and soda or any other beverage / liquid that uses the bottle as a packaging, through which practical, safe and very functional results are obtained.

TECHNICAL STATE

[02] According to www.papodebar.com, around the 1880s, carbonated beverages began to become very popular in establishments, but it was kind of complicated to take them home. Generally, the bottles were sealed with ceramic, wood and metal stoppers or lids, but they could not handle carbon dioxide efficiently. And worse, if they came in contact with the liquid, they could even make it toxic. Until William Painter, solved the problem, inventing in 1891, the crown cap, with a cork disk inside that prevented the contact of the drink with metal (nowadays plastic is used). The cap, with its undulating edge, was the perfect solution to seal the bottles with carbonated liquid without leakage. After inventing the crown cap, in 1894 William Painter invented his faithful partner the opener.

[03] For a long time the crown cap was used in the company of the indispensable opener, until with the advent of the long neck disposable beer bottles, the traditional caps were replaced by new caps that allowed to be screwed in the mouth of the bottles, thus eliminating the need to use the opener. However, in addition to the normal bottles, which continued to use the traditional caps, a new ecological appeal is giving way to new returnable bottles. beers and the old soda bottles, which use the old caps and their indispensable opener, which often becomes an inconvenience in the use of such packages.

[04] As part of the prior art, reference can be made to document BR202014027661-6 of 11/05/2014 (authored by the same inventor), which comprises a metal lid having a lever with two hooks at the bottom of the lid positioned at the bottom of the lid. edge of the bottle and on which the lid is attached / fixed, with the function of "leveraging" and expelling the lid of the bottle. However, the two hooks, as they have the tensile concentration at both ends, may eventually cause "cracking" or even breakage of the glass neck.

[05] Thus, in order to ensure the "BEST" use of such caps, the present innovation was developed, which through the constructive arrangement of the lid and its constructive variants, allows the bottles to be opened with greater certainty since it has provided Internal "plate" connecting the ends of the two hooks, in which the traction is dissipated evenly along the "plate", avoiding possible "crack" or rupture of the bottle neck.

[07] According to Figures 1.1 to 1.10, the bottle cap comprises a metal cap (1) coupled to a lever (2) formed by a handle region (21) with a horizontal extension (22) enclosed in a vertical portion (23) provided at the end of two curved bodies / hooks (24) for engagement with the peripheral region of the bottle (neck) and under the peripheral region of the lid (1), which are joined by a arched body (plate) (25) for distributing the force exerted at the opening of said lid (1), which has part of the peripheral wall accommodated in the protrusion (26) formed by the vertical portion (23) and the curved bodies / hooks (24). Optionally the cover (1) and the lever (2) can be made in one piece.

[08] According to figures 2.1 to 2.7, in a first construction variant, the cover (1) will be made of plastic, polycarbonate, vibration / glass / plate. Optionally the lid (1) and the lever (2) may be of the same material and molded in one piece, the material may be opaque or transparent.

[09] According to Figures 3.1 to 3.11, in a second embodiment the bottle cap comprises a metal cap (1) coupled to a lever (3) formed by a circular handle region (31); positioned on the lid (1), provided at the front with a slight inclination (311) to aid the removal and at the rear is provided with a protrusion (312) that joins the vertical wall (32) with a peripheral wall ( 321) wider, forming a protrusion (322) for accommodating the lid wall (1). From said peripheral wall (321) come two curved bodies (hooks) (34) for engagement with the peripheral region of the bottle (neck) and under the lid (1), which are joined by an arcuate body (plate) (35). for distributing the force exerted at the opening of said lid (1). Optionally the lid (1) and the lever (3) can be made in one piece.

[10] According to Figures 4.1 to 4.19, in a third embodiment, the bottle cap comprises a metal cap (1) coupled to a lever (4) formed by a handle region (41) with a horizontal extension (42) enclosing a vertical portion (43) provided at the end of a protrusion (44) with a tapered extension (45) provided at the narrowest part of a pin (5) for attachment to the lid (1) ) and in the peripheral portion there is provided an inclination that forms a perforating "tip / tooth" (guillotine) (46) which, at the opening of the lid (1), perforates the upper face thereof, taking the internal pressure and with that facilitating the release of the respective lid (1) with the help of the lever (4) which has the tapered end where a pin (5) securing it to the lid (1) is provided. Internally in the median region of the vertical portion (43) are fixed two curved bodies (hooks) (47) to engage the peripheral region of the bottle (neck) and under the peripheral region of the lid (1), which are joined by an arcuate body. (plate) (48) for distributing the force exerted at the opening of said lid (1), which has part of the peripheral wall inserted in the vertical wall (43). Optionally the lid (1) and the lever (3) can be made separately.

[11] According to Figures 5.1 to 5.6, in a fourth embodiment, the lever (5) will be fixed directly to the cover (1) by welding, gluing or fitting.

[12] With the constructive arrangement introduced in the bottle cap thus obtained, it offers the following advantages over its hitherto known counterparts:

- With the inner plate the tensile stress concentration will be totally reduced as it will dissipate in the plate itself (in contact with the neck);

- Prevents "cracking" or breaking the neck when opening the bottle;

- Encourages the use of returnable bottles without the use of the opener;

- Easy, practical and immediate opening of the lid of all types of bottles, especially those of water, juice, sodas, beers and even the disposable ones called "long neck";

- Increased safety and speed since the lever is already in the correct position of the "handle" for instant opening;

- Allows the use of recyclable materials in the lid.

[13] The scope of the present utility model patent demonstrates its innovation in the domestic and worldwide market and should not be limited to the use of packaging, but also to the terms defined in the claims and their various equivalents.
