Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security seal for container cap, the cap itself, and a container closed by said cap.
  • Containers such as bottles are known to present a neck having at its end a threaded portion on which a closure cap is fitted.
  • its cap usually presents a security seal which is broken when the container is opened and enables the integrity of the container closure to be easily and quickly checked.
  • the security seal comprises an annular body connected to the lower part of the cap by easily broken portions.
  • Teeth project inwards from the body to engage, during container opening, a projecting ring formed on the neck of the bottle, such as to hinder translation of the body (by preventing it from sliding along the container neck) and cause the easily broken portions to break.
  • the teeth have to be positioned such that when the cap has been completely screwed down onto the container, the teeth have completely passed beyond the projecting ring on the container so that subsequent opening causes the easily broken portions to break.
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to provide a security seal for a container cap, the cap itself and a container closed by said cap which overcome the stated drawbacks of the known art.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a security seal which is not dependent on the characteristics of the container to which the cap (presenting the security seal) is to be connected.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a cap which can be used with numerous types of container having different characteristics.
  • Said figures show a security seal 1 for a cap 2 of a container 3.
  • the seal 1 comprises an annular body 4 connected to the cap 2 via an easily broken portion 5 and presenting internally projecting teeth 6a, 6b to be engaged with at least one projection 7 on the container 3.
  • the teeth 6a, 6b are disposed in at least two overlying rows, such that the seal 1 can engage different containers 3.
  • seals 1 presenting teeth 6a, 6b disposed in two rows, however there could be more than two rows, for example three or more, according to requirements.
  • the teeth 6a of a first row are offset from the teeth 6b of a second row (the lower row).
  • the lateral edges 8 of the teeth 6a of the first row are substantially aligned with lateral edges 9 of the teeth 6b of the second row, the lower circumferential edges 10 of the teeth 6a of the upper first row being spaced from upper circumferential edges 11 of the teeth 6b of the lower second row.
  • the teeth 6a, 6b present a substantially triangular profile, with a portion 12 facing the open portion of the cap which is oblique to an axis of the body 4 and a substantially flat portion 13 facing the closed portion (or top) of the cap 2.
  • the container 3 closed by the cap 2 provided with the security seal 1 presents the projection 7 for engagement by the teeth 6a or 6b during extraction.
  • the container 3 comprises a neck 15 which presents a threaded end portion 16 provided at the mouth and engaging a corresponding thread 17 on the cap 2, a free intermediate portion 18, and at least one projection 7 for engaging the teeth 6a or 6b.
  • Figure 3 shows an example in which the teeth 6b of the second row of teeth are engaged in the projection 7, while the teeth 6a of the first row are free in correspondence with the intermediate portion 18.
  • the distance between the projection 7 and a mouth 21 of the container 3 is substantially equal to a distance between the closed portion or top 20 of the cap 2 and the teeth 6a of the first row of teeth (upper row) or the teeth 6b of the second row of teeth (lower row) of the security seal 1.
  • the container 3 is filled in known manner with a predetermined product, the cap 2 then being applied.
  • the cap is screwed down on the container until its closed portion (or top) 20 abuts against the container mouth to ensure the seal.
  • the teeth 6b of the lower row reach the projection 7 and overcome it, after which with further screwing the teeth 6a of the upper row also overcome the projection 7; in this state the teeth 6a abut against the projection 7 and the closed portion 20 of the cap 2 abuts against the mouth 21 of the container 3 such as to provide the seal while at the same time ensuring that the container has not been opened.
  • the teeth 6a of the upper row of teeth would have caused breakage of the easily broken portion 5.
  • the cap 2 is screwed onto the container 3 until the teeth 6b of the lower row of teeth overcome the projection 7 and the closed part or top 20 of the cap 2 abuts against the mouth 21 of the container 3 so providing the seal.
  • the threaded part of the cap is identical in the two containers, whereas the dimensions and/or length of the neck or the position of the projection on the neck, this projection collaborating with the teeth of the security seal, are different.
