Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sealing system, according to the preamble of claim 1, that prevents subsequent refilling of a vessel.
  • this invention relates to a cap with an unrefillable pourer for a vessel of bottle type, incorporating systems for regulating at will the pouring flow of the liquid it contains and prevent refilling of the bottle by means of the introduction of a liquid from an external source.
  • Document ES2080646 discloses unrefillable cap corresponding to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • an unrefillable cap consists of various assembled parts, each of which is made in a mould from a different plastic material; for example, the unrefillable cap consists of a pouring part, within which a plugging system or automatic valve is moved by gravity, and some guide systems which serve to guide the valve in its movements and, at the same time, to limit the opening situation of the device.
  • This invention seeks to resolve or reduce one or more of the aforementioned drawbacks by means of an improved cap with an unrefillable pourer comprising a pouring system that includes a first cylindrical body which fits hermetically in the neck of a vessel and a plugging system inserted in the interior of the pouring system; in such a way that the bottom of the pouring system comprises a section with a tapered cross-section in such a way that the union between the tapered section and the first cylindrical body is by means of a two-state hinge-type joining system.
  • One purpose of the invention is to develop an unrefillable cap that comprises a reduced number of parts that are built and assembled with relative ease, ensuring that said unrefillable cap can be obtained using a minimum of materials and labour, thus obtaining an unrefillable cap at a reduced price.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to prevent subsequent fraudulent refilling of the bottle. This function is based on the vertical movement of the plugging system or throttle valve depending on whether the bottle is in an upright or inclined position.
  • Yet another purpose of the present invention is to simplify the manufacturing process through the moulding and assembly of the different parts comprising the unrefillable cap.
  • this invention makes it possible to simplify and economise the manufacture of the unrefillable cap, improving industrial effectiveness.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an unrefillable cap comprising a pouring system 12, made using moulds, of a tubular cylindrical section, to fit hermetically in the interior of the neck of a vessel such as a bottle 11, and a plugging system 13, which moves between a closed position, bottle 11 in vertical position supported on its base, preventing liquid being poured into the interior of the bottle and a pouring position, bottle upturned, such that the plugging system 13 is separated from the closing position allowing the contents of the bottle 11 to pass towards the exterior.
  • a pouring system 12 made using moulds, of a tubular cylindrical section, to fit hermetically in the interior of the neck of a vessel such as a bottle 11, and a plugging system 13, which moves between a closed position, bottle 11 in vertical position supported on its base, preventing liquid being poured into the interior of the bottle and a pouring position, bottle upturned, such that the plugging system 13 is separated from the closing position allowing the contents of the bottle 11 to pass towards the exterior.
  • the diameter of the bottom part of the first cylindrical body 12-1 is progressively reduced creating a tapered section 14 truncated cone like a flap tapering progressively towards the central axis of the pourer 12.
  • the central gap allows the liquid to be poured from the interior of the bottle 11 to the exterior thereof.
  • Figure 3 shows that the union between the tapered flap 14 truncated cone and the first tubular body 12-1 is performed by means of a joining system like a two-state hinge or joint.
  • the tapered flap has a first or initial position as described above and a second, final or seated position when the plug 13 or valve is housed in the interior of the pourer 12.
  • the two positions of the flap 14 are illustrated in Figures 1 and 3 .
  • this dome 17 there is also a second cylindrical body 12-2 concentric or coaxial to the first body 12-1 of the pourer 12; analogously, the second body 12-2 has a cylindrical tubular section of a shorter length than that of the first cylindrical body 12-1, i.e., the second tubular body 12-2 which extends towards the interior of the first tubular body 12-1 of the pourer.
  • the second cylindrical body 12-2 has a number of ribs distributed regularly on the inside face of the cylinder which guide the movement of the plug system 13 between the closed or resting position, when the bottle is upright, and the opposite position in which it allows the contents of the bottle 11 to flow out freely when it is upturned.
  • the plugging system 13 or valve must be housed in the seat formed between the dome 17, the second tubular cylinder 12-2 and the tapered flap 14 truncated cone of the pourer 12.
  • the plug system 13 must therefore be of any shape suitable to be introduced under pressure in said seat formed in the pourer 12 through the gap in the tapered flap 14 truncated cone, such that when the plug system 13 is introduced in the pourer 12, the tapered flap 14 truncated cone is turned over towards the interior of the pourer 12 to the seat or closed position, shown in Figure 3 , which prevents liquid being poured into the bottle 11.
  • the tapered flap 14 truncated cone is oriented facing up, i.e., towards the dome 17 of the pourer 12, shown in figures 1 , 3 and 4 , so that when the bottle 11 is in the upright position the plugging system 13 rests at least on the edge of least diameter of the tapered flap 14 truncated cone.
  • the unrefillable cap is completed with an external cap 41, which may be joined from source by means of a tear-off line to the first body 12-1 of the pourer 12, in such a way that the assembled whole is covered by said cap 41.
  • the unrefillable cap is made up of various parts of which that or those which comprise the pouring part 12, which must remain attached to the neck of the bottle 11, is/are formed only by two assembled parts, namely, the pourer 12 as such and the plugging system 13.
  • the plugging system 13 may take different shapes such as a ball and others, in such a way that when the vessel is in its normal vertical position, said plugging system 13 is supported on its seat and prevents the refilling of the vessel 11 and, when the vessel 11 is inclined, the plugging system 13 is moved out of place allowing the liquid contained in the vessel 11 to flow out.
  • the plugging system 13 can take the form of an inverted U or thimble whose edge is extended by means of a peripheral extension like a ring-shaped hoop 13-1 oriented in the opposite direction to the axis of symmetry of the thimble, i.e., its diameter progressively extends to create a section that is tapered in cross-section.
  • the plugging system 13 is supported on the seat produced at the base of the pourer 12 establishing the closing position on an inclined plane, shown in Figures 1 and 4 , formed by the flap 14 of the pourer 12 which makes it practically impossible to refill the bottle 11.
  • the cap with unrefillable pourer 12 as established here is housed in the neck of the bottle 11 and consists of two parts, a pourer 12 and a plugging system or valve 13.
  • the liquid is poured through the orifices and passages formed between the first cylindrical body 12-1, second cylindrical body 12-2, dome 17 and struts or ribs 16 which support it.
