Definitions

the present invention relates to an improved oil pourer.
a container for edible oil is generally provided with a pouring body to prevent the oil from flowing on the outer walls of the container as a result of its viscosity and its other characteristics, which would make the container particularly troublesome for the user to handle.
This pouring body is generally made from plastics material and is fixed to the container by fastening systems which act on the inner or on the outer edge of the mouth of the container.
the pouring body is generally fitted to the container when the outer sealing capsule is fitted.
the outer capsule comprises a tubular skirt of smooth aluminium which is rolled onto the container to form the securing means which finally fasten the closure to the container.
the pouring body Since the minimum inner diameter of the metal capsule is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the pouring body, the pouring body must be fixed to the capsule by suitable fixing means, in such a way that the two elements remain fixed together while the closure is moved, from the time of its production until it is fitted on to the container,
Utility model IT207976U discloses an oil pourer in which the pouring body (7, in Figure 1 ) is fixed to inner stopper 13 of metal cap 8 by snap-fitting of the lip of the pouring body.
the two parts of the snap fitting have to be disengaged on each opening, causing a temporary increase in the resistance to opening perceived by the user and the production of an audible click which may be disagreeable to users.
the object of the present invention is to provide an improved oil pourer which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a closure in which there is no perceptible resistance during the operations of opening and closing the container after the initial opening.
Another object of the present invention is to promote a regular outflow of liquid from the container without interruption and to reduce what is known as the "surge”, in other words the phenomenon by which, when liquid is drawn from a partially empty container, the gravitational inertia of the liquid generates an excess force which, in the case of oil pourers, produces an undesirable spray which may throw drops of liquid far from the desired point.
the "surge" in other words the phenomenon by which, when liquid is drawn from a partially empty container, the gravitational inertia of the liquid generates an excess force which, in the case of oil pourers, produces an undesirable spray which may throw drops of liquid far from the desired point.
this object is achieved by means of a closure according to Claim 1, and by a method for assembling such a closure according to Claim 10.
Closure 1 can be fixed onto the neck 101 of a container 100, such as neck 101 of a bottle, and comprises a pouring body 2, an outer capsule 3 which fixes closure 1 to container 100, and an inner stopper 4, which is fixed to outer capsule 3 and which, when fitted to container 100, can prevent the outflow of oil from container 100.
Outer capsule 3 is generally composed of a stopper 5 and a skirt 6, joined together along a breakable line 7.
inner stopper 4 and stopper 5 are formed in one piece.
Inner stopper 4 and pouring body 2 comprise snap-fitting mutual engagement means 8, which fix them together before closure 1 is fitted on container 100.
inner stopper 4 and pouring body 2 are shaped so that the force required for engagement of mutual engagement means 8 is greater than the force which can be exerted on them by the reclosing of closure 1.
mutual engagement means 8 are engaged with each other before the initial opening, but after they have been separated by the initial opening it is no longer possible to engage them with each other by the normal operations of opening and closing closure 1 according to the present invention.
inner stopper 4 is longitudinally moved towards pouring body 2 and therefore mutual engagement means 8 are brought closer together.
the maximum force that mutual engagement means 8 can exchange with each other depends on the strength of the material of inner stopper 4 and of pouring body 2; this strength is chosen in such a way that the maximum force that can be exerted is lower than the minimum force required for the engagement of mutual engagement means 8.
mutual engagement means 8 engage with each other along the longitudinal direction X-X, defined by longitudinal axis X-X of container 100 and of neck 101 thereof.
inner stopper 4 and stopper 5 can be separated by a distance D other than zero in the longitudinal direction X-X, in the proximity of the position of said mutual engagement means 8; D can be substantially equal to or greater than the length L of the longitudinal portion of the mutual engagement means 8 which is in engagement before the initial opening.
inner stopper 4 comprises a portion 10 whose deformability in longitudinal direction X-X is substantially greater than the deformability of the other parts; advantageously, such a highly deformable portion 10 is shaped in the form of a bellows and/or a bell. Thus it is possible to form stopper 5 and inner stopper 4 so that they are separate but fixed together.
the highly deformable portion 10 is formed in pouring body 2.
This second embodiment makes it possible, for example, to form inner stopper 4 in one piece with stopper 5.
the higher deformability can also be achieved, for example, by using portions of wall 10a and 10b of inner stopper 4 and/or of pouring body 2 which have a reduced thickness; the high deformability is substantially achieved by suitable shaping and reduction of the thickness of inner stopper 4 and/or of pouring body 2 respectively.
mutual engagement means 8 comprise a female element 11, formed on inner stopper 4, and a male element 12, formed on pouring body 2.
a female element 11 formed on inner stopper 4
a male element 12 formed on pouring body 2.
the opposite configuration which is equivalent to the above, can also be used.
the male element 12 comprises a stem 13 and a flared portion 14 which becomes wider in the longitudinal direction X-X towards said inner stopper 4, while female element 11 can comprise a cavity 15 which becomes narrower in the longitudinal direction X-X towards pouring body 2.
the volume of cavity 15 is such that it can contain flared portion 14; in other words, it is greater than the volume of this portion.
mutual engagement means 8 can be positioned substantially in the centre of the closure 1 and/or there can be a single stem 13 coaxial with the longitudinal axis X-X
Pouring body 2 can also comprise a central portion 16, which is advantageously dome-shaped, and which, when closure 1 is fitted on container 100, is at least partially inserted into neck 101 of container 100 and preferably lies completely inside pouring lip 17 of pouring body 2 (with respect to the longitudinal direction),
this central portion 16 is connected to lateral portion 18 of pouring body 2 by ribs 19 which define four corresponding radial apertures 20 for the outflow of liquid from the interior of container 100
the outer diameter of central portion 16 and the inner diameter of lateral portion 18 are substantially equal, and radial apertures 20 are formed along a substantially cylindrical or slightly conical surface.
ribs 19 there are four ribs 19; clearly, the number of ribs 19 can be different, for example three, five, six or more,
connecting ribs 19 extend radially for a distance which may be as much as twice the thickness of central portion 16, so as to form blades which provide better shaping of the flow of liquid out of container 100.
This configuration which is particularly advantageous, also makes it possible to provide a particularly regular outflow of liquid in the case of oil, acting in a highly effective way to counteract the "surge" phenomenon described above,
the outer diameter of central portion 16 and the inner diameter of lateral portion 18 are substantially equal, and radial apertures 20 are formed along a substantially cylindrical or slightly conical surface.
pouring body 2 and/or inner stopper 4 can be made from polymer material, for example PE, by injection moulding for example; on the other hand, stopper 5 and skirt 6 can be made from drawn aluminium.
inner stopper 4 and stopper 5 are formed in one piece, they can be made from the same materials, and by the same methods as those described previously with reference to inner stopper 4.
closure 1 Since the effect of closure 1 according to the present embodiment is to prevent a simple connection of inner stopper 4 to pouring body 2, it must be assembled by exerting a force between the mutual engagement means 8 in the longitudinal direction X-X which must be obtained by using a support which is separate from closure 1.
the support for pouring body 2 and/or for inner stopper 4 enables mutual engagement means 8 to be fully engaged by snap-fitting, after which the support is removed.
closure 1 When closure 1 has been assembled, it can be fitted on mouth 102 of a container 100 having a neck 101 and a mouth 102, and skirt 6 of closure 1 can then be rolled on so as to securely fix closure 1 to container 100.
closure 1 When closure 1 is reclosed, the deformability of inner stopper 4 and/or of pouring body 2 can prevent the transmission between them of a sufficient force for mutual engagement means 8 to mutually engage anew, even when stopper 5 is fully screwed onto container 100.
