Definitions

the present invention relates to a pourer for a container, namely a bottle.
This pourer is particularly of the non-refillable type, i.e. has the purpose to prevent replenishment of the liquid in the container and, as a result, to prevent the container from receiving a liquid other than the one originally contained therein.
This is particularly useful in the field of high-quality food supply (for example oil and alcoholic beverage supply) as it prevents alteration of the original product and introduction of a poorer-quality product into the container, unless the pourer is broken.
IT 1 131 961 discloses a closure for a bottle comprising a pourer.
This pourer comprises a flat grille with narrow slits, which is designed to lie over a non-return valve. As liquid is poured on the grille, it interacts with the slits and creates a meniscus due to surface tension, which can prevent the fluid from flowing past the grille.
the geometry of the grille and the inherent properties of the fluid create a "barrier effect" which prevents any unauthorized replenishment attempt.
IT '961 recognizes that the grille alone is not sufficient to prevent refilling of the container, as a fluid poured from a greater height can overcome the barrier created by grille-fluid interaction. Therefore, IT '961 specifies the presence of a non-return valve in the container located inward from the grille.
US patent application 2010/0018940 by Alcan Packaging Capsules discloses a non-refillable pourer, in which the above discussed barrier effect is provided by a convex member having a plurality of holes. These holes are adapted to allow the passage of the liquid that flows out of the pourer, while creating the above discussed barrier effect in case of attempted unauthorized filling.
US '940 describes several variants of the convex member, having various degrees of convexity. All these variants show a uniform arrangement of holes on the surface. Also, the holes have converging axes. Finally, the smallest dimension of the holes is less than 0.7 mm.
the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide a pourer for a container that can obviate the aforementioned prior art drawbacks.
the object of the present invention is to provide a pourer for a container that can improve the pouring operation.
a further object of the present invention is to provide a pourer for a container that has a simpler construction.
a pourer for a container of the present invention comprises a tubular body.
This tubular body has an inlet opening adapted to be introduced into a neck of a container.
the tubular body also has an outlet opening opposite the inlet opening and configured to pour a liquid.
the tubular body has a longitudinal axis extending through the openings.
a cover element is disposed in the tubular body, particularly transverse to the longitudinal axis between the inlet and outlet openings.
the cover element has a convex portion whose convexity is directed toward the outlet opening.
the cover element has a plurality of holes each having a diameter ranging from 1 to 1.8 mm. These holes have a respective center axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body.
the pourer of the invention can achieve the same "barrier effect" as the existing pourers, while ensuring a considerably improved liquid pouring function.
numeral 1 designates a pourer for a container of the present invention.
the pourer 1 comprises a tubular body 2 having a longitudinal axis "A".
This tubular body 2 is configured to be fitted to a neck 3 of a container (not shown), e.g. a bottle.
the tubular body 2 is designed to be fitted into the neck 3.
the shape of the tubular body 2 is axially symmetric shape with respect to the longitudinal axis "A", particularly has a circular cross section and more particularly is a substantially cylindrical shape.
the tubular body may have any shape whatever.
the tubular body 2 has an inlet opening 4 and an outlet opening 5 opposite the inlet opening 4.
the inlet opening is designed to be introduced into the aforementioned container.
the inlet opening is situated in the container, whereas the outlet opening 5 is external thereto.
the outlet opening 5 is configured to pour a liquid from the interior of the container to the outside and particularly has a rim 7 that is specially shaped for drip control.
the tubular body 2 comprises a flange 8 which is externally placed between the inlet opening 4 and the outlet opening 5.
the flange 8 is adapted to abut the neck 3 of the container, to stop the introduction of the tubular body 2.
the flange 8 divides the tubular body 2 into an upper portion 2a and a lower portion 2b.
the upper portion 2a is situated outside the container.
the lower portion 2b is placed within the container, and in particular is specially shaped to be restrained in the container by interference, in any manner known to the skilled person.
a cover element 6 is arranged within the tubular body 2.
the cover element 6 is arranged transverse to the flow direction "A" between the inlet 4 and outlet 5 openings. More in detail, the cover element 6 extends along the entire cross section of the tubular body 2. It shall be noted that the cover element 6 is designed to allow liquid to flow threrethrough from the inlet opening 4 to the outlet opening 5 while being able to prevent the liquid from being introduced into the container, i.e. from flowing from the outlet opening 5 to the inlet opening 4.
the cover element 6 is formed with a plurality of holes 10.
Each hole 10 has a respective center axis "C" parallel to the longitudinal axis "A" of the tubular body 2.
Each hole 10 has a characteristic dimension ranging from 1 to 1.8 mm. 10.
the term "characteristic dimension" is intended to designate the dimension that will be relevant to achieve an adequate surface tension, given an arbitrary shape of the hole 10. For example, if the hole 10 has a circular shape, the characteristic dimension is the diameter. If the hole 10 has the shape of a slot, as shown for example in Figures 4c, 4d and 4e , the characteristic dimensions is defined by the lower transverse dimension of that slot. For different shapes of the hole 10, the skilled person will be able to determine the dimension to be taken as a reference by routine testing.
the center axis "C" if the hole 10 has a shape other than a circular shape, the center axis "C” shall be located in a middle position between the long sides and the short sides.
Each hole 10 may have a taper converging from the outlet opening 5 toward the inlet opening 4.
each hole 10 has a taper converging from the inlet opening 4 toward the outlet opening 5. The arrangement of the holes 10 will be illustrated in greater detail hereinafter.
the cover element 6 has a convex portion 9 which is defined by a convexity directed toward the outlet opening 5.
the convex portion 9 is preferably defined by a spherical dome.
the convex portion 9 has a central area 9a and a peripheral area 9b, which is external to the central area 9a.
the diameter of the central area 9a ranges from 15% to 30% of the diameter of the entire cover element 6.
the convex portion 9, in particular the peripheral area 9b, is surrounded by a perimeter portion 11.
This perimeter portion 11 is particularly substantially flat and arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis "A" of the tubular body 2.
the holes 10 it shall be noted that at least some of them are formed on the convex portion 9, in particular in the peripheral area 9b. Therefore, the central area 9a of the convex portion 9 has no holes 10.
the holes 10 are grouped around the longitudinal axis "A" into a plurality of groups, in particular three groups.
the holes of each group are arranged along a respective circumference 12, particularly centered on the longitudinal axis "A".
Each circumference 12 groups a variable number of holes and its radius is distinct from that of the other circumferences 12.
each hole 10 is angularly arranged between two holes 10 of an adjacent group.
the holes 10 of adjacent groups are not aligned along the same radial direction, but are in an alternate relationship.
any rupture of the pourer 1 will be immediately evident, due to this arrangement of the holes 10
the cover element 6 comprises a plurality of slots 13 arranged outside the convex portion 9.
the slots 13 are arranged on the perimeter portion 9 of the cover element 6.
Each slot 13 mainly extends in a tangential direction, i.e. is orthogonal to a radial direction.
the width of the slot 13 in the radial direction is approximately one millimeter, but the width may be greater in the tangential direction.
These slots 13 have the purpose of allowing air to flow into the container as liquid is being poured. Nevertheless, the shape of the slots 13 causes them to behave like the holes 10 when attempting to introduce a liquid into the container from the outside.
each slot 13 is placed between two holes 10. Therefore, these holes 10 are formed on the perimeter portion 11 of the cover element 6 and are at equal distances from the longitudinal axis "A"as the slots 13.
the pourer 1 is specifically adapted for pouring oil.
the tubular body 2 and the cover element 6 are made of plastic, in particular polyolefins or polycarbonate.
