Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottle capper according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2.
  • Comparable closers are also known per se from DE-A-27 26 428.
  • a sealing slide is present, which can be pressed deeper into the cap against the force of the compression spring loading it than corresponds to the closed position; this makes it easier to open the closure with just one hand.
  • Cup-shaped retaining clips with protruding claws should reach under the bottom edge of the bottle ring bead.
  • only a vertical contact force acts, namely that of the compression spring, so that a lateral sliding of the claws is easily possible.
  • the aim of the invention is to improve bottle closers of the above-mentioned types with economic means so that, with a simple structure and cost-effective production, an easier, injury-free handling for securely closing and opening bottles is possible, even against overpressure of the bottle content, which, for. B. from sparkling wine or champagne. Lemonade or other carbonated drinks.
  • the invention provides two basic designs which differ externally primarily in terms of height, but both elastically limit the movement of the pliers legs apart and thus greatly improve handling.
  • a pressure cap engages over the upper ends of two-armed pliers legs at a radial distance or at their lower ends there is a spring on the outside.
  • the movement limiter can be a position-invariable spring or having, which rests on the upper or lower ends of one-armed pliers legs in a non-positive and positive manner. Both constructions make it easy to exercise pressure and reliably snap the bottle capper into place, the manufacture of which is extremely economical.
  • the pressure cap can be a mushroom-shaped plastic cap which is integral with the supporting body and which overlaps the upper ends of the pliers legs with its edge.
  • the capper therefore fits comfortably in the hand and is easy and pleasant to use.
  • stop parts can also be provided as inner limiters.
  • the bottle capper has a support body 12, which is illustrated in FIG. 2 for itself. From this it can be seen that the support body 12 has a cap 30, a shaft 34 and a hollow cylinder 14, which are preferably integral with one another. At the lower end of the hollow cylinder 14, a bottom part 15 is arranged, which is loaded outwards by a compression spring 38 up to a stop 39 and carries a sealing washer 40, which is intended to close the mouth of a bottle F.
  • a bore in the hollow cylinder part 14 of the support body 12 serves to receive a bolt 13 on which the conical spring 38 is supported with its wide end at the top. Its lower, narrow end sits on a centering shoulder 17 of the base part 15, which the stop 39 holds in the hollow cylinder 14.
  • the bolt 13 forms a joint 16 for two pliers legs 18, which preferably consist of curved sheet metal, while the support body 12 is made of plastic.
  • the upper ends 20 of the pliers legs 18 are overlapped by the edge or ring stop 32 on the underside of the cap 30. This thereby forms an outer limiter, which prevents further spreading despite the presence of a compression spring 28 (see FIGS. 3 and 5).
  • This spring is mounted in a transverse bore 36 in the shaft 34 of the support body 12, which also acts as an internal limiter in the embodiment with a flat cap 31 (FIG. 4).
  • each pliers leg 18 has a recess 24 with lateral boundaries 46 and a lower, inwardly projecting edge in the form of a claw 26. At the lower ends 22 of the pliers legs 18 there are also gripping bends 48.
  • the handling takes place in such a way that the capper 10 is placed essentially vertically from above onto an open bottle F.
  • the sealing washer 40 is pressed firmly onto the bottle mouth above the bead W.
  • the base part 15 holding the sealing washer 40 retreats into the hollow cylinder 14 counter to the spring 38, the cutouts 24 slide over the bead W.
  • the claws 26 drop in sharply, since the tong legs 18 are loaded by the spring 28 in this sense.
  • a closer 10 which has a fundamentally similar structure and the same mode of operation.
  • an outer spring 42 is arranged as an outer limiter near the lower end 22 of the pliers legs 18, which can be a closed rubber ring, for example. It increases the closing action of the compression spring 28, which spreads the upper ends 20 of the pliers legs 18 apart, to the extreme up to the stop on the inner edge 32 of the cap 31, which here can be designed flat and adapted to the width of the upper ends 20.
  • FIG. 5 The embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5 is also basically the same.
  • This bottle capper 10 has a shortened support body 12 without an upper shaft.
  • Each pliers limb 18 has a cap 30 or 30 'at the upper end 20, the inner, substantially rectilinear boundary of which forms a stop part 56 or 56'.
  • additional tension springs are hooked into lateral boundaries 46, 46 'of each recess 24, of which the front outer spring 42 can be seen in the view shown. These springs in turn act as external limiters for the movement of the tong legs 18, which on the other hand is limited inwards by the stop parts 56, 56 '.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 Using a support body 12 of short construction, further embodiments of the invention can be realized, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 6 to 9.
  • the pliers legs 18 are not two-armed, as in the examples of FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, but only one-armed lever.
  • Fig. 6 shows a construction in which a coil spring is attached as an outer spring 42 to the joint 16, the free ends of which engage in the upper groove of each recess 24.
  • the pliers legs 18 and consequently their claws 26 are therefore pressed together so that they can collapse below the bulge W of a bottle F if the sealing washer 40 is pressed elastically under pressure on the cap 30. Also when removing, the cap 30 can be pressed with one hand, while the other hand grips under an angle 48 in order to pivot the relevant pliers leg 18 against the spring 42 to the side.
  • a groove 44 can be worked into each pliers leg 18 above and below the recess 24, so that two ring springs 42 can be accommodated therein in order to ensure a particularly high closing force.
  • a bottle capper 10 with a spring clip 50 (FIG. 9), which overlaps the cap 30 and with its. Legs 52, 52 'presses on the pliers legs 18 to limit movement.
