Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an aseptic closing cap for liquid containers.
  • the aseptic cap object of the patent EP 1065150 is known, which foresees a flow control element which must be moved from a lowered closed position to a raised open position.
  • the flow control element is like a cylindrical mushroom that can be moved between the aforementioned positions either by pulling by hand or by the user gripping it with his teeth.
  • a cap of this type has some drawbacks which can firstly be identified by the need of its movement both in the open position and in the closing or reclosing position.
  • a covering capsule foreseen that covers the flow control group and protects it from possible deposited substances or dusts since that is the part which is placed in the mouth of the user.
  • Document US 5,265,777 shows a dispensing cap system for dispensing flowable material, comprising a closing cap according to the preamble of claim 1. It includes an inner cap which has an open bottom, a sidewall structure and top, as well as an orifice for dispensing which is located in the top of the inner cap.
  • the inner cap may be attached to a container and has at least one vertical ratchet located on the outside of the sidewall structure so as to permit downward free motion and to prevent upward free motion of an outer cap, the vertical ratchet being adapted to engage such an outer cap when the outer cap is pressed downwardly. It also includes an outer cap having an open bottom, a sidewall structure and a top, the outer cap being movably fitted over the inner cap and the outer cap having an orifice for dispensing located on its top. The outer cap also has at least one vertical ratchet located on the inside of its sidewall and in alignment with the inner cap ratchet and is biased for downward free motion and upward locking of the outer cap be engaging the ratchet of the inner cap when the outer cap was pressed downwardly.
  • the dispensing cap system also includes an outlet stem alignable with the orifices of the inner and outer caps for dispensing. Although useful, nevertheless this cap shows the same problems above described.
  • the purpose of the present invention is that of avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks and in particular that of devising an aseptic cap that is always perfectly closed, once the user has drunk the desired amount of drink.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is that of making an aseptic cap that keeps an optimal seal so as to prevent gas, that has been added to the drink contained in the container equipped with such a cap, from coming out.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is that of making an aseptic cap that in any case avoids the removal, even accidental, of the flow control element, thus avoiding its possible swallowing by the user and his suffocation.
  • an aseptic closing cap for liquid containers is shown, wholly indicated with reference numeral 10.
  • the aseptic cap 10 comprises a main body 11, provided with a threaded ring inside, to be associated with a neck of a container 12, externally threaded in a matching manner. From the main body 11 a tubular projection 13 extends upwards coupled with an upper cap, wholly indicated with reference numeral 14.
  • annular plane 15 is foreseen from which an annular shaped portion 16 extends to a second annular plane 17, closing it off, where the tubular projection 13 is arranged.
  • annular lip 18 extends coaxially outwards, suitable for housing a downward-facing final extension 19 of the upper cap 14.
  • the second annular plane 17 extends inside the tubular projection 13 in an inner wall 20 of said projection, generating a step.
  • a through hole 21 is formed, provided with a cylindrical peripheral portion 22 facing upwards.
  • a flow control element 23 is slidingly arranged, in upward facing side walls of which at least one window shaped opening 24 for the liquid to pass through, is formed.
  • the flow control element 23 is monolithic and coaxial to the upper cap 14; moreover, the flow control element 23 has a tubular structure and is able to slide axially inside the through hole 21, i.e. inside the projection 13.
  • an annular flap 25 is foreseen, projecting radially outwards, suitable for abutting with a further annular flap 26, projecting radially inwards inside the body of the upper cap 14.
  • These two annular flaps 25 and 26 defining the maximum stroke of the flow control element 23 inside the projection 13.
  • the flow control element 23 can slide and move from a raised position, in which it closes off said through hole 21 sealing the flow control element 23 itself against the cylindrical peripheral portion 22 that extends above the hole 21, to a lowered position opening up said hole.
  • annular flap 26 of the upper cap 14 abuts against the annular flap 25 of the projection 13 acting as a stop for the maximum raising of the flow control element 23.
  • an outwardly widened end 23a of the flow control element 23 interacts with an inwardly widened end or bead 22a of the cylindrical peripheral portion 22 so as to make a safe seal, defining a labyrinth sealing arrangement.
  • the upper cap 14, as well as having the cylindrical passage 27 inside, extending in the flow control element 23, has a structure which can be defined as a double tube. More precisely it extends from an upper end plane 28 in a outer cylindrical wall 29, inside which the aforementioned further annular flap 26 is arranged.
  • the cylindrical wall 29 extends in a radially outwardly widened portion 30 which ends with the final extension 19, also cylindrically shaped. In such a way in a position at rest between the upper cap 14 and the annular plane 17 positioned above the main body 11, an annular chamber 31 is defined.
  • the aforementioned elastic elements are made through a series of tabs or teeth 32 that extend downwards below the widened portion 30 of the upper cap 14.
  • tabs 32 are arranged inclined so as to promote their elastic contrasting action with the annular plane 17 of the main body 11.
  • the tabs or teeth 32 are formed above the annular plane 17 of the main body 11, from which they extend to react this time against the widened portion 30 inside the upper cap 14 in the annular chamber 31.
  • the main body 11 once screwed on the neck of the container 12, is fixed there by a tear-away ring 33, connected through breakable bridges 34 to the body 11 itself.
  • the tear-away ring 33 ensures the integrity of the container and of the liquid contained in it.
  • the aseptic cap 10 is sealed before it is opened and before it is used thanks to the presence of a covering capsule 35 that is arranged above the upper cap 14.
  • the covering capsule 35 is fixed to the main body 11, more precisely at the annular lip 18, by a tear-away ring 36 connected to it through breakable bridges 37. The presence of this cover makes it possible to completely sterilize the cap before its use and to fill the container, to which the cap is applied, with the drink.
  • the operation of the aseptic cap according to the invention is extremely simple and advantageous.
  • the aseptic cap 10 of the invention when arranged on a container, is as shown in figure 3 . Once the covering capsule 35 is removed, it is possible to carry out an extraction of the liquid or drink in the following way.
  • the user places his mouth on the widened portion 30 bringing the end portion of the upper cap 14 inside his mouth. Then he acts by pushing the upper cap 14 towards the main body 11, i.e. towards the container. In such a way the tabs 32, i.e. the elastic elements, are pressed and compressed. Such an action makes the flow control element 23 slide downwards freeing the through hole 21. In such a position raising the container the liquid or the drink can flow from the through hole 21 inside the tubular projection 13 and come out from the opening 24 to inside the cylindrical passage 27 of the upper cap.
