Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a unit comprising a stopper and a cap for locking the stopper for shipping sparkling wines, of the type that are made of plastic for the purpose of replacing cork stoppers and that are also reversible, such that they enable the bottle to be covered again.
  • the utility model published with number ES 1 035 703 U describes a unit comprising a stopper and a cap for locking the stopper for shipping sparkling wines, configured to be applied to a bottle with a finish that has an annular opening on the outer surface thereof.
  • stopper in the present document, there is a cover part and a plurality of flexible tabs that extend from the perimeter of the cover part, the tabs being provided with projections oriented radially inwards and intended to fit into the annular opening in a configuration for locking the unit on the bottle. This is the part intended to cover the mouth of the bottle.
  • the other part of the unit is the cap, which is a hollow cylinder closed by an upper cover. According to the degree of insertion of the stopper in the cap, two end configurations can be obtained:
  • the relative connection and guiding between the stopper and the cap is performed by means of screwing, such that when rotating one with respect to the other, the cap is screwed or unscrewed on the stopper, causing relative axial displacement between the two.
  • the two parts have tubular parts provided with complementary threads, that of the stopper extends from the cover of the cap inwards and that of the stopper extends upward towards the cap.
  • the term 'axial' should be understood to refer to the axis of revolution of the stopper, which is also the direction of insertion of the stopper in the bottle.
  • 'upper' and lower' or 'raised part' and lower part', should be understood in relation to the normal vertical arrangement of a bottle, i.e. the base of the bottle is at the bottom and the mouth at the top.
  • the unit is completed with a sealing ring arranged in the lower extension of the hollow cylinder part and joined to it.
  • the sealing ring has a support area in the lower end of the tabs, such that when trying to rotate the stopper, the upper surface of the sealing ring rests on the lower surface of the tab, thereby retaining the cap, such that the retention force is an axial force.
  • the present invention proposes a unit comprising a stopper and a cap for locking the stopper for shipping sparkling wines, configured to be applied to a bottle with a finish that has an annular opening on the outer surface thereof, wherein:
  • the sealing ring has the same outer and inner diameters as the hollow cylinder part.
  • This shape of the sealing ring is a simplification with respect to the state of the art, and it especially enables a cap to be made that is easy to remove from the mold in the manufacturing process thereof, and in particular, is much easier to remove from the mold than the stopper disclosed in ES 1 035 703 , the sealing ring of which has a diameter larger than the hollow cylinder part. Furthermore, it has a smooth and attractive outer appearance, which is essential in the presentation of sparkling wines of the cava and champagne variety.
  • the unit comprises a joining cord between the sealing ring and the hollow cylinder part, the joining cord being continuous along the entire perimeter.
  • the continuous seal performs several functions: firstly, with regard to appearance, it is of better quality than a joint with points, which is traditionally associated with water or soft drinks bottles. Moreover, it offers a distributed and homogeneous joint. Another aspect is that is provides a pleasant feeling at the time of unsealing, and furthermore, it does not allow for silent tearing.
  • the joining cord is flush with the outer surfaces of the sealing ring and the hollow cylinder part.
  • This characteristic gives a completely smooth appearance to the visible part of the cap.
  • the sealing ring has a weakened line intended to be torn, the sealing ring having a pull element joined at the bottom to the sealing ring and arranged close to the weakened line, such that it enables the easy tearing and removal of the sealing ring.
  • the weakened line has three sections: a first oblique section that extends halfway up, a second section contained in the median plane perpendicular to the axial axis of the ring and a third oblique section with the same inclination as the first section, the weakened line being thicker in the second section.
  • This configuration of the line enables the weak points to be distributed along the periphery, in particular making it so that there is only one weak point in each segment parallel to the axis of the ring that is at the level of the weakened line.
  • the section contained in the median plane perpendicular to the axial axis of the ring i.e. the section that follows the perimeter of the ring, enables the user to be notified, by means of an increase in the resistance to breakage, that the first section, i.e. the last section to be torn, will soon be torn, and that the unit is ready to be released, and therefore, it could be ejected at any time.
  • the pull element is joined to the sealing ring on both sides of the weakened line, on one side by means of a continuous joint that cannot be torn, and on the other side with a joining point that is thicker than the first and third sections of the weakened line.
  • the continuous joint enables the ring to be pulled in order to tear it, while the greater thickness of the joining point requires a high force to be exerted in order to start tearing the seal, in order to prevent, for example, the pull element from inadvertently being pulled and the seal being opened during the transport and handling of the bottle prior to the use thereof.
  • the sealing ring has a height of 6.5 mm, which is enough for a reduced wall thickness, in order to prevent the tabs from being deformed and the disengagement thereof from the annular opening.
  • the securing skirt is continuous. In other embodiments, the securing skirt is discontinuous, such that it has a plurality of tabs, each one having a projection.
  • the unit comprises means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper, these means being arranged in the sealing ring, such that when this ring is removed, the relative rotation between the cap and stopper is allowed.
  • This characteristic prevents the sealing ring from performing the locking function of the tabs when said ring is removed, and therefore, when removing it, the inadvertent unsealing and unlocking of the stopper is produced simultaneously, which can lead to accidents.
  • the means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper comprise mutual support surfaces, some being located in the securing skirt and the others, complementary to the surfaces located in the securing skirt, are located in the inner surface of the sealing ring, these surfaces being contained on planes, the normal of which has a tangential component, such that the force of resistance to the rotation produced by the means for preventing the relative rotation has a tangential component.
  • these means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper comprise projections in the inner surface of the sealing ring, the projections being designed to be arranged between the tabs and rest on the side surfaces of the tabs.
  • the projections are located on the highest part of the inner surface of the sealing ring, so that the locking is performed as soon as possible when unscrewing the cap.
  • a unit comprising a stopper and a cap for locking the stopper for shipping sparkling wines, configured to be applied to a bottle with a finish that has an annular opening on the outer surface thereof, wherein:
  • the unit comprises means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper, these means being arranged in the sealing ring, such that when this ring is removed, the relative rotation between the cap and stopper is allowed, wherein the means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper comprise mutual support surfaces, some surfaces being located in the securing skirt and the others, complementary to the surfaces located in the securing skirt, are located in the inner surface of the sealing ring, these surfaces being contained on planes, the normal of which has a tangential component with respect to the perimeter, such that the force of resistance to the rotation produced by the means for preventing the relative rotation has a tangential component.
  • the securing skirt is discontinuous, such that it has a plurality of tabs, each one having a projection.
  • the means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap and the stopper comprise projections in the inner surface of the sealing ring, the projections being designed to be arranged between the tabs and resting on the side surfaces of the tabs.
  • the projections are located on the highest part of the inner surface of the sealing ring, so that the locking is performed as soon as possible when unscrewing the cap.
  • the securing skirt is continuous and comprises support notches provided with a surface, the normal of which has a substantially tangential direction for supporting projections of the sealing ring that protrude toward the securing skirt.
  • the sealing ring has continuity with the inner surface of the cap, such that the sealing ring can perform the function of locking the securing skirt when the sealing ring is facing the securing skirt after relative rotation and axial displacement between the stopper and the cap.
  • the sealing ring has the same outer and inner diameters as the hollow cylinder part.
  • This shape of the sealing ring is a simplification with respect to the state of the art, and it especially enables a cap to be made that is easy to remove from the mold in the manufacturing process thereof, and in particular, is much easier to remove from the mold than the stopper disclosed in ES 1 035 703 , the sealing ring of which has a diameter larger than the hollow cylinder part. Furthermore, it has a smooth and attractive outer appearance, which is essential in the presentation of sparkling wines of the cava and champagne variety.
  • the unit comprises a joining cord between the sealing ring and the hollow cylinder part, the joining cord being continuous along the entire perimeter.
  • the cord can also be designed by segments or points.
  • the continuous seal performs several functions: firstly, with regard to appearance, it is of better quality than a joint with points, which is traditionally associated with water or soft drinks bottles. Moreover, it offers a distributed and homogeneous joint. Another aspect is that is provides a pleasant feeling at the time of unsealing, and furthermore, it does not allow for silent tearing.
  • the joining cord is flush with the outer surfaces of the sealing ring and the hollow cylinder part.
  • This characteristic gives a completely smooth appearance to the visible part of the cap.
  • the sealing ring has a weakened line intended to be torn, the sealing ring having a pull element joined at the bottom to the sealing ring and arranged close to the weakened line, such that it enables the easy tearing and removal of the sealing ring.
  • the weakened line has three sections: a first oblique section that extends halfway up, a second section contained in the median plane perpendicular to the axial axis of the ring and a third oblique section with the same inclination as the first section, the weakened line being thicker in the second section.
  • This configuration of the line enables the weak points to be distributed along the periphery, in particular making it so that there is only one weak point in each segment parallel to the axis of the ring that is at the level of the weakened line.
  • the section contained in the median plane perpendicular to the axial axis of the ring i.e. the section that follows the perimeter of the ring, enables the user to be notified, by means of an increase in the resistance to breakage, that the first section, i.e. the last section to be torn, will soon be torn, and that the unit is ready to be released, and therefore, it could be ejected at any time.
  • the pull element is joined to the sealing ring on both sides of the weakened line, on one side by means of a continuous joint that cannot be torn, and on the other side with a joining point that is thicker than the first and third sections of the weakened line.
  • the continuous joint enables the ring to be pulled in order to tear it, while the greater thickness of the joining point requires a high force to be exerted in order to start tearing the seal, in order to prevent, for example, the pull element from inadvertently being pulled and the seal being opened during the transport and handling of the bottle prior to the use thereof.
  • the sealing ring has a height of 6.5 mm, which is enough for a reduced wall thickness, in order to prevent the tabs from being deformed and the disengagement thereof from the annular opening.
  • the invention generally relates to a unit 1 comprising a stopper 2 and a cap 3 for locking the stopper 2 for shipping sparkling wines, configured to be applied to a bottle B with a finish that has an annular opening A on the outer surface thereof.
  • the stopper 2 comprises a cover part 21 and a plurality of flexible tabs 22 with a height h that extend from the perimeter of the cover part 21 and are provided with projections 23 oriented radially inwards and intended to fit into the annular opening A in a configuration for locking the unit 1 on the bottle B, which is the configuration represented in Figure 1 .
  • the tabs can be replaced by a securing skirt that is continuous, although in this case, the unlocking force to be applied by the user would be greater.
  • the cap 3 is a hollow cylinder 31 closed by a rounded upper cover 32.
  • the stopper is inserted into the hollow part of the stopper, such that according to the degree of insertion of the stopper 2 in the cap 3, two end configurations can be obtained:
  • the unit comprises joining means by means of screwing between the stopper 2 and the cap 3 that enable the axial displacement of the cap 3 with respect to the stopper 2 by means of relative rotation between the two.
  • the joining means are similar to those described in the utility model ES 1 035 703 U , i.e. two mutually complementary screwed parts.
  • a tubular extension 26 of the cover part 21 has a radially outward flange (not shown) in the upper part thereof.
  • This flange or protrusion aims to retain a complementary flange belonging to a second tubular casing part 33 with a larger diameter belonging to the cap 3.
  • This tubular casing part 33 is designed as three cylinder sectors, such that they can be deformed to clasp the tubular extension 26 of the cover part.
  • axial retention stop means are incorporated between the two parts of the unit.
  • the cover part further comprises a tubular part 25 oriented at the bottom and intended to enter into the mouth of the bottle and exert pressure on the inner walls of the neck, for which reason it has a diameter that is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the neck of the bottle, at least in one section thereof, in order to contribute to the sealing.
  • the unit comprises a sealing ring 4 arranged in the lower extension of the hollow cylinder part 31 and it is joined to it.
  • This ring has the same outer and inner diameters as the hollow cylinder part 31, for which reason it geometrically forms an extension of the hollow cylinder part of the stopper.
  • the ring 4 and the cap are joined by means of a joining cord 5 between the sealing ring 4 and the hollow cylinder part.
  • This joining cord 5 is continuous along the entire perimeter and it is preferably flush with the outer surfaces of the sealing ring 4 and the hollow cylinder part 31. Even if it is preferably continuous, the cord may also be discontinuous, by segments or points.
  • the sealing ring 4 has a weakened line 6 intended to be torn to open the stopper.
  • the sealing ring 4 has a pull element or tongue 7 joined at the bottom to the sealing ring 4 and arranged close to the weakened line 6, such that it enables the easy tearing and removal of the sealing ring 4.
  • the weakened line 6 has three sections 41, 42, 43: a first oblique section 41 that extends halfway up, a second section 42 contained in the median plane perpendicular to the axial axis of the ring and a third oblique section 43 with the same inclination as the first section 41, the weakened line 6 being thicker in the second section 42.
  • the pull element is joined to the sealing ring 4 on both sides of the weakened line 6, on one side by means of a continuous joint that cannot be torn, which will be on the side where one will start to remove the sealing.
  • the pull element 7 is joined to the sealing ring with only one joining point 8 which is thicker than the first and third sections of the weakened line 6.
  • This joining point must be sufficiently resistant to withstand possible forces exerted accidentally on the pull element during the transport and handling thereof prior to opening the bottle.
  • the unit comprises means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap 3 and the stopper 2. These means are arranged in the sealing ring 4, such that when this ring is removed, the relative rotation between the cap 3 and the stopper 2 will be enabled.
  • These means for preventing the relative unscrewing rotation between the cap 3 and the stopper 2 comprise projections 44 in the inner surface of the sealing ring 4, the projections being designed to be arranged in the space 45 existing between the tabs 22 and resting on the side surfaces 46 of the tabs 22.
