Definitions
- the invention relates to a container and a cap in accordance with the preamble of the first claim. It likewise relates to a container in accordance with the preamble of claim 12 and a cap of claim 16.
- This invention relates to a container and a cap, and in particular to pilfer-proof or tamper-evident systems of containers and caps. Many such systems are known in the art.
- one method of forming a tamper-evident connection between a container, in particular a bottle, and a cap is to use a threaded bottle cap which includes a ratchet ring having internal ratchet teeth in combination with a bottle neck having external ratchet teeth.
- a threaded bottle cap which includes a ratchet ring having internal ratchet teeth in combination with a bottle neck having external ratchet teeth.
- the ratchet teeth of the bottle cap positively engage the mating ratchet teeth of the bottle neck, thereby preventing unthreading and unsealing of the cap.
- the ratchet ring breaks away from the bottle cap and the bottle cap may be unscrewed from the bottle neck. In this manner, removal of the ratchet ring from the bottle cap serves as visual evidence that the bottle has been opened.
- one object of the invention is to provide an improved tamper resistant container and / or cap.
- the core of the invention is therefore that the container neck comprises breakage means which causes at least parts of the neck to break off if the cap is removed from said container.
- a bottle 1 comprising a bottle body 2, a bottle neck 3 and a cap 4 is shown.
- the contents may be in numerous forms, such as liquid, powder, granules or pellets, and others.
- the cap 4 can be fitted onto the bottle 1 in a relatively easy manner, by pushing the cap 4 vertically onto the bottle, manually or via a mechanical device.
- the cap and the bottle are made from plastic material, for example the cap from PP Polypropylene and the bottle from HDPE High Density Polyethylene. It is clear that numerous other materials can be used for the bottle and the cap.
- the cap is usually manufactured by an injection molding process.
- the bottle is manufactured by a blow molding process. This process comprises melting the plastic raw materials, resins of various types, processing the material inside an extruder and then forming the material into a tube. Then compressed air is blown into the tube of still molten plastic to inflate it into a mold with the shape of a bottle. The so obtained bottle, which is still hot and deformable, is then cooled into a rigid form.
- a retaining ring 6 is arranged at the neck 3 of the bottle retaining means.
- This retaining ring 6 of the bottle will retain the cap 4 on the bottle 1, the cap will be described in more detail below.
- the retaining ring 6 has a tapered shape with a portion nearest to the opening 5 of the bottle smaller than the base portion of the ring 6.
- the ring or rings can also have different shapes than shown and be made throughout the circumference of the neck or only part of the circumference. Most important is that the retaining means, for example the retaining ring 6, functions to retain the cap on the bottle neck.
- breakage means for example a breakage band 7 is arranged below the retaining ring 6, further away from the bottle opening.
- breakage band for example a breakage band 7
- the neck portion of the bottle is made with one or more areas intentionally thinner than the regular neck thickness.
- the breakage band or bands 7 may be made throughout the circumference of the neck of the bottle, or part of the circumference. If force is applied on the bottle neck 3, the bottle neck will break off at the breakage means.
- FIG. 3 shows the cap 4 of the bottle in more detail.
- the cap comprises a cap base 8 and a cap top 9 which are connected by a joint 10. Through the joint the top 9 can be closed with a snap onto the base of the cap.
- the base 8 of the cap has retaining means 11, for example a retaining ring which is arranged inside the cap on the part that is pushed onto the neck of the bottle.
- This ring inside the cap base 8 is tapered in shape, with the portion nearest to the bottom of the bottle larger than the other portion.
- This retaining ring 11 of the cap will interact with the retaining ring 6 of the bottle. Once the cap 4 is pushed onto the bottle neck 3, these rings 6, 11 will interlock with each other and hold the cap on the bottle.
- the retaining means 11 of the cap and the retaining means 6 of the bottle will be shaped accordingly to guarantee a proper interlock. Therefore also the retaining means 11 of the cap 4 can be only one ring or multiple rings. The ring or rings can also have different shapes than shown and be made throughout the circumference of the cap or only part of the circumference. Most important is that the retaining means, for example the retaining ring 11, functions to retain the cap on the bottle neck.
- an outlet hole 12 of the cap may be closed by a sealing layer 13.
- a sealing layer may be made with a thin layer of plastics already molded, or made with a location where a paper foil, aluminum foil, plastic foil, or a foil made with a combination of materials may be either heat-sealed, or glued onto the cap to seal-off the outlet hole 12. A user of the product will need to puncture this sealing layer 12, before the contents of the bottle may be dispensed.
- This sealing layer is optional and used depending on the nature of the contents of the product and the desire of marketer or manufacturer of the product.
- the cap 4 After the cap 4 is inserted onto the bottle 1 and the retaining rings of the cap 11 and bottle 6 are slipped into and just past each other, the cap is interlocked with the bottle. If a person intentionally tries to remove the cap 4 by force, manually or mechanically, the force will break the thinner portion(s) of the neck 3 of the bottle at the breakage band 7. The breakage of the neck of the bottle provides the evidence of the attempt to tamper with, pilfer or imitate the contents. After breakage of the neck it is not possible to attach another cap onto the bottle.
- the force to break off the neck of the bottle that means the design and thickness of the breakage band, has to be in such a way, that during the normal use of the bottle the neck will not break off.
- the force to break off the neck of the bottle also has to be less than the force that is needed to push the retaining ring of the cap over the retaining ring of the bottle to remove the cap.
- the cap base can have additionally a spline 14 which interacts with a groove 15 of the bottle, see Fig. 1B and 2A.
- a spline 14 which interacts with a groove 15 of the bottle, see Fig. 1B and 2A. This unique shape of bottle and cap fits properly in such way to prevent the twisting action of the cap from the bottle. This helps further to prevent the removal of the cap from the bottle without breaking the neck of the bottle.
- FIGS.A and 4B show another cap 4 of the bottle.
- This cap has six outlet holes 12 which may be also closed by sealing layers 13. Otherwise this cap has the same characteristics as the cap described in Figure 3.
