Definitions
- This invention relates to a closure for bottles and the like, of the type including a reservoir housed within the bottle neck and containing a material, generally as a powder, which is allowed to drop into the liquid in the bottle by breakage of the bottom in said reservoir.
- the bottom breakage is effected by pressure exerted on the presser member of cylindrical shape, entering the reservoir by a slantwise cut end, this operation being carried out according to known techniques following the opening of a guarantee aluminum or also plastic crown-cap.
- a first disadvantage consists of the difficulty in removing an aluminum crown-cap rolled about the bottle neck, operation which very often causes wounds to the operator's hands and which cannot always be manually carried out.
- the cylindrically shaped presser member Upon removal of the guarantee crown-cap, the cylindrically shaped presser member is acted upon, which member will be in the following simply referred to as piercing plunger, for the breakage of the reservoir bottom in which it is housed.
- the reservoir content generally powdery material
- the reservoir content is then allowed to fall down into the bottle, mixing with the liquid material therein.
- the bottle inlet has to be freed, by removing said reservoir which together with the piercing plunger remains embedded within the bottle neck.
- This is also a difficult manual operation because of the poor available gripping and high seal or friction between the reservoir and bottle, so that the aid of mechanical means is often resorted to, such as for example a suitable tool acting as a lever between the respective contact edges of the bottle and reservoir inlet.
- a closure in accordance with the pre-characterising part of claim 1 is known from US-A-3802604 which discloses a plurality of embodiments of a closure for a container with a reservoir.
- the closure comprises an inner threaded cap surmounted by a cover cap provided with a piercing plunger and with a removable tear-strip which encircles the adjacent edge portion of the container and the inner cap.
- Such a closure is planned for not being removed from the container, as the mixture is dispensed through a dispensing spout.
- DE-A-2625175 discloses several embodiments of a closure, with a reservoir.
- the closure comprises a cap with a hollow cylinder and with a tear-strip.
- FR-A-1568362 discloses a complicated closure with reservoir, comprising two threaded caps.
- closure for bottles and the like is characterised by the features in the characterising part of claim 1.
- reference numeral 1 denotes a crown-cap closure preferably of plastic material, according to the present invention and including a reservoir 2 with breakable bottom 3 whch is accommodated within the neck of a bottle 4.
- Said reservoir 2, containing a generally powdery material which is allowed to fall down ⁇ into the liquid in said bottle 4 by piercing through of the bottom thereof, is of well known type and comprises a circumferentially continuous ridge 5 for interfering with the inner portion of the neck of said bottle 4, and an annular edge 6 overlapping the annular edge 7 of the bottle neck.
- said crown-cap 1 Internally of and coaxially therewith said crown-cap 1 has a preferably hollow piercing plunger 8, made in a unitary body with said crown-cap, having the free end 9 slantwise cut and housing in said reservoir 2.
- the crown-cap 1 comprises a skirt 10 having at its lower edge 11 an inner annular ridge 12 for engagement upon transitory elastic deformation with the bottle inlet edge, as shown in Figure 2.
- a tearing removable strip 15 as defined by two circumferential parallel weakening or breaking lines 16 and 17, a gripping tab or tongue 13 being provided for aiding in tearing.
- said tearing removable strip 15 is internally and at a suitable height provided with at least one continuous ridge 15' (or a plurality of discontinuous ridges) for abutment with the top portion of the annular edge 6 of the reservoir 2 and suitable to prevent the skirt 10 from vertically moving when a casual pressure is exerted on the top portion 14 of the crown-cap 1, and accordingly to prevent any accidental piercing of reservoir 2.
- the reservoir 2 Upon piercing (Figure 3), the reservoir 2 remains embedded within the crown-cap 2, both due to friction between the outer portion of the piercing plunger 8 and the inside of the reservoir, and due to friction between the edge 6 of said reservoir and the inner surface of the portion 19 of the skirt 10 of said crown-cap, so that the reservoir can be removed together with the crown-cap 1 from the bottle 4 by exerting a simultaneous tractive and torsional stress on said portion 19 of skirt 10 which is to this end provided as knurled.
- the removal of the reservoir 2 is greatly facilitated because of the substantial increase in gripping due to the top portion 19 of the skirt of the guarantee crown-cap.
- the useful height of the portion 19 of said skirt is preferably greater than or equal to the distance as vertically measured between the corners of the slantwise cut end 9 of the piercing plunger 8, and this to provide a nearly complete breakage of the bottom 3 of reservoir 2 and accordingly to facilitate the fall of the powdery material therein contained into the bottle 4.
