Description

具有開瓶器組件的冠形瓶蓋（一）Crown cap with bottle opener assembly (1)

本發明涉及一種用於飲料瓶和其它容器的瓶蓋和皇冠蓋，特別涉及一種以手動方式拉開的瓶蓋。The present invention relates to a bottle cap and a crown cap for beverage bottles and other containers, and more particularly to a bottle cap that is manually opened.

一種不用開瓶器，卻可相對輕鬆以手動方式開啟的飲料瓶，是飲料供應商長期的需求。瓶蓋必須緊緊地固定在瓶口上，以避免內含物溢出、瓶內壓損（容器加壓或碳酸飲料），同時維持瓶內的衛生。 緊密封閉的瓶蓋，使其難以用手打開瓶子。A beverage bottle that can be opened relatively easily without a bottle opener is a long-term demand of beverage suppliers. The cap must be tightly attached to the mouth of the bottle to avoid spillage of the contents, pressure inside the bottle (contained container or carbonated beverage) while maintaining hygiene in the bottle. The tightly closed cap makes it difficult to open the bottle by hand.

瓶蓋，亦可互換名稱為皇冠蓋，透過皇冠蓋向下壓接於容器開口，形成一系列圍繞在瓶口周邊的凹圓弧將皇冠蓋固定於瓶口。該圓弧在每一個凹圓弧之間形成銳利的凸點。這些圓弧形和凸點常被習知技術稱之為「銳角」或「凹槽」。The cap can also be interchanged as the crown cap, which is crimped down to the container opening through the crown cap to form a series of concave arcs around the periphery of the bottle mouth to secure the crown cap to the mouth of the bottle. The arc forms a sharp bump between each of the concave arcs. These arcs and bumps are often referred to as "sharp angles" or "grooves" by conventional techniques.

眾所周知擰開瓶蓋的問世，曾讓手動式開瓶器獲致一個重大進展，但需頻繁地用力緊握以擰開瓶蓋，以致於瓶蓋銳角處易造成手或手指的疼痛。為了保護雙手免於傷害，常見的做法是在擰開瓶蓋之前，以襯衫的下襬或布料先行包裹瓶蓋。It is well known that the opening of the bottle cap has led to a major advancement in the manual bottle opener, but it is necessary to frequently tighten it to unscrew the cap so that the acute angle of the cap is likely to cause pain to the hand or fingers. In order to protect your hands from injury, it is common practice to wrap the caps with the hem or cloth of the shirt before unscrewing the cap.

適配於瓶蓋的拉環，類似飲料罐，常見於在中國和亞洲其他地區。例如，見於專利申請人Liu的國際專利申請PCT/CN00/00040號，優先權日期為1999年3月4日，國際公開號為WO00/51906。 然而，眾所周知，這種拉環瓶蓋非常難以拉開，因為它們需要耗費相當的力量去解除密封，然後將該拉環（扯掉該金屬）向後拉扯，以拉除該瓶蓋。Pull tabs that fit into the cap, similar to beverage cans, are common in China and other parts of Asia. For example, see International Patent Application No. PCT/CN00/00040 to the patent applicant, the priority date is March 4, 1999, and the international publication number is WO 00/51906. However, it is well known that such pull tabs are very difficult to pull apart because they require considerable effort to unseal and then pull the tab (pulling off the metal) back to pull the cap off.

MaxiCrown®是眾所周知另一種拉環瓶蓋的解決方案，見於1988年9月6日公開的第4768667號美國專利，申請人為Magnusson。MaxiCrown®提供一種沿瓶體頸部側面佈置的拉環，作為皇冠蓋的延伸部分，卻因此造成標準型壓蓋機使用上的問題。 事實上，MaxiCrown®瓶蓋被推薦用於一種特殊的壓蓋機。MaxiCrown® is a well-known solution for another type of pull cap, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,768,667, issued toS. MaxiCrown® provides a pull ring that is placed along the side of the neck of the bottle as an extension of the crown cap, which in turn causes problems with the standard capper. In fact, MaxiCrown® caps are recommended for a special capping machine.

因此，需要一種本領域常見的技術，可用手動方式輕鬆拉開瓶蓋，同時可採用標準型壓蓋機緊緊密封於瓶口四周。Therefore, there is a need for a technique that is common in the art, which can be easily opened by hand, while being tightly sealed around the mouth of the bottle by a standard capping machine.

本申請是2014年4月3日美國申請號14/244571的部份繼續申請，該申請源自於同一發明人在2014年3月28日提交之台灣專利申請號103111634之優先權案，其公開內容被併入本文作為參考。此外，為了所有的目的，由同一發明人申請之美國專利號8,061,544、8,276,773、 8,365,940和8,608,006所揭露的內容，亦併入本文作為參考。This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14/244,571, filed on Jan. The content is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the disclosures of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,061,544, 8, 276, 773, 8, 365, 940, and s.

本發明有鑑於習知皇冠蓋之瓶蓋開啟時銳角處易造成使用者手或手指的疼痛不適以及拉環瓶蓋需要耗費相當的力量去解除密封等問題，乃完成本創作之具有開瓶器組件的冠形瓶蓋。The invention has the bottle opener of the present invention in view of the fact that the cap of the crown cap is opened at an acute angle, which is liable to cause pain and discomfort to the user's hand or finger, and the pull cap needs to take considerable force to release the seal. The crown cap of the assembly.

本發明之主要目的在於提供一種具有開瓶器組件的冠形瓶蓋，其用於瓶體或者其他容器開口的各種皇冠蓋實施例，其中該皇冠蓋包含一頂端和從頂端連續下延的環形裙部。許多有利的具體實施例進一步包含一開瓶器組件和配置於皇冠蓋上的易裂刻痕線，以便輕易地開啟瓶體或容器。具體而言，當使用者拉起開瓶器組件時，皇冠蓋上易裂連接的易裂刻痕線，讓皇冠蓋得以沿刻痕線斷裂或撕裂。一些具體實施例在皇冠蓋的頂端還進一步包含一個或多個起皺構造，便於強化降低厚度規格的皇冠蓋材料。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a crown cap having a bottle opener assembly for use in various crown cap embodiments for a bottle or other container opening, wherein the crown cap includes a top end and a ring extending continuously from the top end Skirt. Many advantageous embodiments further include a bottle opener assembly and a frangible score line disposed on the crown cap for easy opening of the bottle or container. Specifically, when the user pulls up the bottle opener assembly, the crown covers a frangible line of frangible connections that allow the crown cap to break or tear along the score line. Some embodiments further include one or more creping configurations at the top end of the crown cap to facilitate reinforcement of the reduced thickness crown cap material.

為使　貴審查委員能進一步瞭解本發明之結構特徵及其他目的，玆以如后之較佳實施例附以圖式詳細說明如后，而術語「皇冠蓋」以及「蓋子」在下列描述中可交替使用，惟本圖例所說明之實施例係供說明之用，並非為專利申請上之唯一限制者。In order to enable the Applicant to further understand the structural features and other objects of the present invention, the following detailed description will be followed by the following detailed description, and the terms "crown cap" and "lid" may be used in the following description. Alternate use, but the examples described in this illustration are for illustrative purposes and are not the only limitations of the patent application.

圖1為現有技術所示瓶蓋的具體示範性實施例俯視示意圖。圖1中顯示一種槓桿式的易拉開瓶蓋，包括皇冠蓋1、拉片環2、拉片3、鉚釘4與桿5。切割線6(本文稱為刻痕線)在皇冠蓋1的背部形成一個約30度的水準視角。顯然的，切割線6未一路延伸至皇冠蓋1的邊緣，而是止於或者接近拉片環2。由壓接瓶蓋1形成的多個銳角7環繞於圓形瓶口周圍。本視圖未顯示，在垂直橫斷面中，現有技術的切割線6沿著切割長度的方向保持相同深度。這些特徵皆顯示需要較大的手動拉力才能從容器開口打開和移除圖1所示的皇冠蓋1 。1 is a top plan view of a specific exemplary embodiment of a cap shown in the prior art. Figure 1 shows a lever-type easy-open bottle cap comprising a crown cap 1, a tab ring 2, a pull tab 3, a rivet 4 and a rod 5. A cutting line 6 (referred to herein as a score line) forms a level of viewing angle of about 30 degrees on the back of the crown cap 1. Obviously, the cutting line 6 does not extend all the way to the edge of the crown cap 1, but ends at or near the tab ring 2. A plurality of acute angles 7 formed by the crimp cap 1 are wrapped around the round bottle mouth. This view does not show that in the vertical cross-section, the prior art cutting line 6 maintains the same depth along the direction of the cutting length. These features all indicate that a large manual pull is required to open and remove the crown cap 1 shown in Figure 1 from the container opening.

皇冠蓋或瓶蓋1透過桿5連接至拉片3。桿5和拉片3可連接成單一元件。 同樣地，拉片3和拉片環2可以是一個整體件。拉片3的另一端可藉由鉚釘4鉚接至接近皇冠蓋1瓶蓋主體表面的中心。The crown cap or cap 1 is connected to the pull tab 3 through the rod 5. The rod 5 and the pull tab 3 can be connected in a single element. Likewise, the pull tab 3 and the pull tab ring 2 can be a unitary piece. The other end of the pull tab 3 can be riveted by the rivet 4 to the center of the surface of the cap body of the crown cap 1.

圖2A為本發明瓶蓋具體示範性實施例的垂直剖面側視示意圖。結合在一起的拉片環2、拉片3與鉚釘4，本文偶爾稱之為開瓶器組件。內螺紋8提供了一個可替代的選擇，藉由手動擰開而無需使用開瓶器組件的方式從瓶上拉除皇冠蓋1。2A is a vertical cross-sectional side elevational view of a particular exemplary embodiment of a bottle cap of the present invention. The pull tab ring 2, the pull tab 3 and the rivet 4, which are joined together, are occasionally referred to herein as a bottle opener assembly. The internal thread 8 provides an alternative option to remove the crown cap 1 from the bottle by manual unscrewing without the use of a bottle opener assembly.

切割線6 從瓶蓋1邊緣的銳角7向下逐漸變細朝向瓶蓋1的近似中心，提供一錐形的拉裂槽。例如，拉裂槽的深度可從靠近瓶蓋1邊緣約0.03到0.02毫米的深度範圍透過鉚釘4逐漸變化至靠近瓶蓋1中心約0.10到0.08毫米的深度範圍。The cutting line 6 tapers downward from the acute angle 7 of the edge of the cap 1 towards the approximate center of the cap 1 to provide a tapered tear groove. For example, the depth of the cleavage groove can be gradually changed from the rivet 4 to a depth range of about 0.10 to 0.08 mm from the center of the cap 1 from a depth of about 0.03 to 0.02 mm near the edge of the cap 1.

圖2B為圖2A所示瓶蓋一個可替代具體示範性實施例的垂直剖面側視示意圖。圖2B的具體例沒有內螺紋8，因而適用上述以手動方式開啟的開瓶器組件。同樣地，圖中所示的邊或邊緣區域7a，可認為是皇冠蓋1的一部分，被壓接在瓶口上形成銳角，以便將皇冠蓋固定至瓶體上。邊緣7a大約從皇冠蓋1部分開始延伸至覆蓋瓶口的折彎部分，或從略微向內延伸至該部分，終止於銳角7的末端。Figure 2B is a vertical cross-sectional side elevational view of an alternative exemplary embodiment of the closure of Figure 2A. The specific example of Fig. 2B has no internal threads 8, and thus the above-described manually opened bottle opener assembly is suitable. Similarly, the edge or edge region 7a shown in the figures, which can be considered part of the crown cap 1, is crimped onto the mouth of the bottle to form an acute angle to secure the crown cap to the bottle. The edge 7a extends from the portion of the crown cap 1 to the bent portion covering the mouth of the bottle, or extends slightly inwardly to the portion, terminating at the end of the acute angle 7.

圖2A和2B中，靠近瓶蓋1中心的拉裂槽末端9，雖然被大致描繪成垂直狀，但本領域技術人員應該可以理解，本發明瓶蓋具體實施例所選用的拉裂槽形狀和尺寸是設計和工程的選擇問題，因此，本發明不應做限制性的解釋。例如，本發明可設想該末端9是彎曲的、傾斜的、或者其他與本發明目標一致的形狀。2A and 2B, the end 90 of the cleavage groove near the center of the cap 1 is generally depicted as being vertical, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the shape of the cleavage groove selected for the particular embodiment of the cap of the present invention and Dimensions are a matter of choice for design and engineering, and therefore, the invention should not be construed as limiting. For example, the present invention contemplates that the tip 9 is curved, slanted, or otherwise conforming to the objectives of the present invention.

圖3A為本發明瓶蓋的一個可替代具體示範性實施例的垂直剖面側視示意圖。在圖3A的實施例中，切割線6朝向末端9以及瓶蓋1銳角7的邊緣逐漸變細，從而有別於圖2A和2B所述的實施例，提供了一種可替代的錐形拉裂槽。沿著切割線6逐漸變細的拉裂槽，瓶蓋1的厚度朝向中心和邊緣的方向增加，提供了一種可替代的拉裂槽，因此，僅需適度力量就可手動拉開瓶蓋1。3A is a vertical cross-sectional side elevational view of an alternative exemplary embodiment of a closure of the present invention. In the embodiment of Fig. 3A, the cutting line 6 tapers towards the end 9 and the edge of the acute angle 7 of the cap 1, thereby providing an alternative taper splitting, in contrast to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2A and 2B. groove. The cleavage groove which tapers along the cutting line 6, the thickness of the cap 1 increases toward the center and the edge, providing an alternative cleavage groove, so that the cap 1 can be manually opened with only moderate force .

圖3B為圖3A所示瓶蓋一個可替代具體實施例的垂直剖面側視示意圖。圖3B所示具體例沒有內螺紋8，因而適用上述以手動方式開啟的開瓶器組件。Figure 3B is a vertical cross-sectional side elevational view of an alternative embodiment of the closure of Figure 3A. The specific example shown in Fig. 3B has no internal thread 8, and thus the above-described manual opener bottle opener assembly is applicable.

如圖2A、2B、3A或3B的任一實施例，藉由沿著切割線6改變拉裂槽的深度，瓶蓋1提供了一種拉裂槽，從而僅需適度手動力量即可開啟瓶蓋1。下文將詳細討論，披露皇冠蓋1尺寸和材料組成所推薦的範圍，進一步提供一種僅需適度力量就可手動拉開的皇冠蓋。在操作過程中，使用者抓緊鄰近拉片3的拉片環2，以便拉片環2能以桿5為基點轉動，沿切割線6向後上方拉出。桿5和鉚釘4可共同作用拉裂瓶蓋1的中間部位，隨後沿著切割線6以手動力量持續地拉開瓶蓋1，直到瓶皇1大致上完全裂開，以便瓶蓋1可輕易地從瓶體上移除。切割線6的拉裂槽有助於以手動方式沿切割線6拉開瓶蓋1。有利的，圖2A和3A的實施例沿著銳角7的內部提供了可匹配的螺紋8，因此，皇冠蓋1可二者擇一地透過擰開或旋開的方式從瓶體開啟皇冠蓋1。或者，瓶蓋1可以使用開瓶器或其他方式將瓶蓋從瓶體砰的一聲拉除。As with any of the embodiments of Figures 2A, 2B, 3A or 3B, by varying the depth of the cleavage groove along the cutting line 6, the cap 1 provides a cleavage groove so that only a moderate amount of manual force is required to open the cap 1. As discussed in more detail below, the recommended range of crown cap 1 dimensions and material composition is disclosed, further providing a crown cap that can be manually pulled apart with only moderate force. During operation, the user grasps the tab ring 2 adjacent the pull tab 3 so that the tab ring 2 can be rotated about the rod 5 and pulled back and forth along the cutting line 6. The rod 5 and the rivet 4 can cooperate to pull the middle portion of the bottle cap 1 and then continuously pull the bottle cap 1 along the cutting line 6 with manual force until the bottle king 1 is substantially completely split, so that the bottle cap 1 can be easily The ground is removed from the bottle. The cleavage groove of the cutting line 6 helps to open the cap 1 along the cutting line 6 in a manual manner. Advantageously, the embodiment of Figures 2A and 3A provides a matable thread 8 along the interior of the acute angle 7, so that the crown cap 1 can alternatively open the crown cap 1 from the bottle by unscrewing or unscrewing. . Alternatively, the cap 1 can be pulled out of the bottle by a bottle opener or other means.

圖4為本發明瓶蓋一個可替代具體示範性實施例的垂直剖面側視示意圖。如圖4所示，兩者擇一或選擇有附加內螺紋8的皇冠蓋，成形的皇冠蓋1相對圖2B的邊緣7a，具有加長邊緣7b。因為螺紋增加了瓶口的外表面積，所以標準的皇冠蓋固定在有螺紋的瓶口上可能會有問題。一個標準的皇冠蓋不可能大到足以延伸超過瓶口螺紋外加的表面積。因此，加長邊7b可能是一種有利的替代實施例，容許皇冠蓋1被壓接在螺紋瓶口上，提供加長的銳角7c，進一步的優點是，圖4所示的皇冠蓋內部可在不具有圖2A和3A所示的內螺紋8下，仍可以從具有螺紋的瓶口上擰開。4 is a vertical cross-sectional side elevational view of an alternative exemplary embodiment of the closure of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, alternatively or alternatively, a crown cap having an additional internal thread 8 is selected, and the formed crown cap 1 has an elongated edge 7b with respect to the edge 7a of Fig. 2B. Because the thread increases the outer surface area of the finish, the standard crown cap can be fixed on the threaded finish. A standard crown cap cannot be large enough to extend beyond the surface area of the bottle thread. Therefore, the elongated edge 7b may be an advantageous alternative embodiment, allowing the crown cap 1 to be crimped onto the threaded bottle opening to provide an elongated acute angle 7c, with the further advantage that the interior of the crown cap shown in Figure 4 may have no Under the internal thread 8 shown in 2A and 3A, it can still be unscrewed from the threaded bottle opening.

桿5提供槓桿以及外加的剪切力，用於撕開皇冠蓋1的鍍錫鐵片材料。The rod 5 provides a lever and an additional shear force for tearing the tinplate material of the crown cap 1.

圖5是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋一個可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。在圖5的實施例中，省略了桿5，因此，拉片環2與拉片3緊鄰皇冠蓋1的頂端。本發明皇冠蓋在拉片環2的下方提供凹部10，便於手動抓緊拉片環2。亦即凹部10提供一個空間，讓指尖或者指甲得以在拉片環2上施加向上的力。Figure 5 is a cross-sectional side view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention. In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the rod 5 is omitted, so that the tab ring 2 and the pull tab 3 are adjacent to the top end of the crown cap 1. The crown cap of the present invention provides a recess 10 below the tab ring 2 for easy manual gripping of the tab ring 2. That is, the recess 10 provides a space for the fingertip or nail to exert an upward force on the tab ring 2.

圖6是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋又另一個可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。切割線6延伸至邊緣區域7a，並折彎向下朝向銳角7至皇冠蓋1的邊緣。Figure 6 is a cross-sectional side view illustrating yet another alternative embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention. The cutting line 6 extends to the edge region 7a and is bent downward toward the acute angle 7 to the edge of the crown cap 1.

圖7是圖解說明圖6皇冠蓋一個可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。如圖6，切割線6延伸至邊緣7a，但是切割線6的深度沿其長度的方向大體相同，而不是如前所述的可變深度。Figure 7 is a cross-sectional side view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of Figure 6. As shown in Figure 6, the cutting line 6 extends to the edge 7a, but the depth of the cutting line 6 is substantially the same along its length, rather than the variable depth as previously described.

圖8是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋1另一個可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。拉片環2具有一個或多個圓弧部分11，藉由***的空間來容納指尖或指甲底部，便於提供手動抓緊拉片環2。圓弧部分11僅供說明目的用。***角度或彎曲程度是具體實施例設計的選擇問題。Figure 8 is a cross-sectional side view illustrating another alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of the present invention. The tab ring 2 has one or more arcuate portions 11 which are accommodated by the raised space to accommodate the fingertip or the bottom of the nail, facilitating the manual gripping of the tab ring 2. The arc portion 11 is for illustrative purposes only. The bulge angle or degree of curvature is a matter of choice for the design of a particular embodiment.

圖9是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋1還有另一種可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。襯墊12以鉚釘4固定在皇冠蓋1的下方。墊子13設置在拉片環2的下方，便於手動抓緊拉片環2，當使用者抓緊拉片環2時，可透過減低金屬與皮膚的接觸，進一步提供觸覺上的舒適感。凹部14，類似圖5的凹部10，可能是皇冠蓋1的凹口部分，因此該凹口延伸於拉片環2的下方，便於指尖或指甲得以更容易地置於拉片環2下方的適當位置，方便手動拉除皇冠蓋。Figure 9 is a cross-sectional side view illustrating still another alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of the present invention. The gasket 12 is fixed to the underside of the crown cover 1 with rivets 4. The cushion 13 is disposed under the pull-tab ring 2 to facilitate manual grasping of the pull-tab ring 2. When the user grasps the pull-tab ring 2, the contact between the metal and the skin can be reduced to further provide tactile comfort. The recess 14, similar to the recess 10 of Figure 5, may be the recessed portion of the crown cap 1, so that the recess extends below the tab ring 2 to facilitate easier placement of the fingertip or nail under the tab ring 2 Proper position for easy removal of the crown cap.

圖10是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋1進一步可替代實施例的俯視圖。該圖未顯示拉片環2、拉片3以及鉚釘4。切割線6通常從假想中心線6a朝邊緣7a偏離。例如，本發明慮及揭露角度差異的選擇切割線6b (短畫線)，或切割線6c (虛線)朝邊緣7a聚集。切割線甚至可大致平行。聚集或偏離。以及角度選擇或切割線分離的角度，是可被設計選擇的問題，如切割線的數量可以至少1條或甚至為零條。因此，本發明考量所有和每條切割線的配置，都有可能被選定作為特定皇冠蓋的工程設計，另外，圖10說明本發明皇冠蓋具體例具有28個銳角環繞在皇冠蓋的周圍。Figure 10 is a plan view illustrating a further alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of the present invention. This figure does not show the tab ring 2, the pull tab 3 and the rivet 4. The cutting line 6 is generally offset from the imaginary center line 6a toward the edge 7a. For example, the present invention contemplates the selection of the cutting line 6b (short line) exposing the difference in angle, or the cutting line 6c (dashed line) gathering toward the edge 7a. The cutting lines can even be substantially parallel. Gather or deviate. And the angle of the angle selection or the separation of the cutting lines is a problem that can be selected by design, for example, the number of cutting lines can be at least one or even zero. Therefore, the present invention contemplates that all and each of the cutting line configurations are likely to be selected as the engineering design of the particular crown cap. In addition, FIG. 10 illustrates that the crown cap embodiment of the present invention has 28 acute angles around the crown cap.

圖11為圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的等軸俯視圖。為了更清楚地闡明第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線 6e，本圖未顯示Easy Pull™拉環裝置。在一個優選的實施例中，其中一條切割線6e提供了一 條S形曲線，或沿著皇冠蓋1銳角7延伸的尾段刻痕線6f。銳角7在本文中亦可稱為裙部7，它從皇冠蓋1的頂端連續下延。裙部 7 將在下文中進一步地詳細說明。S形曲線刻痕線6f有利於皇冠蓋1從容器開口端拉除。在操作過程中，使用者從中心15沿著第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線 6e拉開。當撕開到S形曲線之第二刻痕線6f時，撕扯力順著S形曲線遠離第一刻痕線6d，並沿第一刻痕線6d驅使撕扯至末端16，進而斷開皇冠蓋1。持續的撕扯力沿著S形曲線第二刻痕線6f，撕扯銳角7使之遠離容器開口端(未顯示)，進而將皇冠蓋1從容器(未顯示)上拉開。S形曲線由第二刻痕線6f組成，具有一上端徑向部分，從開瓶器組件沿著徑向軸線延伸至裙部，以及一下端環形部分，沿著裙部7環形方向環繞延伸，並從上端徑向部分的末端延伸，第二水平面的下端環形部分被限定與下端裙緣相關聯的第一水平面距離相等。Figure 11 is an isometric top view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of the present invention. In order to clarify the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e more clearly, the figure does not show the Easy PullTM pull ring device. In a preferred embodiment, one of the cutting lines 6e provides an S-shaped curve, or a trailing score line 6f extending along the acute angle 7 of the crown cap 1. The acute angle 7 may also be referred to herein as a skirt 7 which is continuously lowered from the top end of the crown cap 1. The skirt 7 will be described in further detail below. The S-curve score line 6f facilitates the removal of the crown cap 1 from the open end of the container. During operation, the user pulls away from the center 15 along the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e. When tearing to the second score line 6f of the S-shaped curve, the tearing force is away from the first score line 6d along the S-shaped curve, and is driven along the first score line 6d to the end 16 to break the crown cover. 1. The continuous tearing force is along the second score line 6f of the S-shaped curve, tearing the acute angle 7 away from the open end of the container (not shown), thereby pulling the crown cover 1 away from the container (not shown). The S-shaped curve is composed of a second score line 6f having an upper end radial portion extending from the bottle opener assembly along the radial axis to the skirt and the lower end annular portion extending around the annular direction of the skirt 7 And extending from the end of the upper end radial portion, the lower end annular portion of the second horizontal plane is defined to be equal in distance from the first horizontal plane associated with the lower end skirt.

圖11另一特徵是顯示一個或多個由皇冠蓋1凹陷形成的防腐標示17，且設置的位置避免被本發明拉環裝置所遮蔽。對於真空密封的容器，當壓力密封喪失時，防腐標示17彈出。Another feature of Figure 11 is the display of one or more anti-corrosion markings 17 formed by the depression of the crown cap 1 and the location of the arrangement is avoided from being obscured by the tab device of the present invention. For vacuum sealed containers, the corrosion protection mark 17 pops up when the pressure seal is lost.

圖12是圖解說明圖11皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的等軸俯視圖。再一次，為了更清楚地顯示切割線，並未顯示Easy Pull™，拉環裝置。圖12所示的實施例，從中心15向外延伸，提供一條單一的切割線。切割線6分叉或分岔為第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e，其中第一刻痕線6d延伸至皇冠蓋1的邊緣，第二刻痕線6e彎曲成如上述圖11所示的S形曲線之第二刻痕線6f。Figure 12 is an isometric top view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 11. Again, in order to show the cutting line more clearly, the Easy PullTM, pull ring device is not shown. The embodiment shown in Figure 12 extends outwardly from the center 15 to provide a single cut line. The cutting line 6 is bifurcated or branched into a first score line 6d and a second score line 6e, wherein the first score line 6d extends to the edge of the crown cover 1, and the second score line 6e is bent into the above-described FIG. The second score line 6f of the illustrated S-shaped curve.

圖13是圖解說明圖11皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的等軸俯視圖。圖11所示的皇冠蓋1顯示中間部位15a用拉片環2猛然開啟的狀況。拉片3以鉚釘4連結至皇冠蓋1的適當位置上，便於應用手動外力沿著第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e撕扯。一個或更多的圓形凹部18在皇冠蓋1頂端17至拉環座2及開瓶器的其餘部分中創建了空間。Figure 13 is an isometric top view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 11. The crown cap 1 shown in Fig. 11 shows a state in which the intermediate portion 15a is suddenly opened by the tab ring 2. The pull tab 3 is attached to the crown cover 1 by a rivet 4 for facilitating the application of a manual external force to tear along the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e. One or more circular recesses 18 create a space in the crown 17 top end 17 to the tab seat 2 and the remainder of the bottle opener.

圖14是圖解說明圖13皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的側向剖視圖。裙部 7 沿相鄰於頂端17的肩部 19下延。座部18有足夠的深度讓拉片環2與皇冠蓋1的頂端17大致齊平。這種實施例有助於適合傳統瓶體封蓋機的使用，不需對機器進行改裝或整修。座部18的進一步的優點是，座部18環繞其周圍形成一種起皺狀邊緣，且已知起皺結構可抗彎曲增強平板層，該彎曲方向大體上垂直於起皺結構的方向。因此，座部18額外提供了加固皇冠蓋1的優點。座部18進一步提供加固皇冠蓋1的優點是，可以降低皇冠蓋1的厚度，以便採用更低規格(更薄)的皇冠蓋材料，而不是使用標準厚度的皇冠蓋，從而降低製造材料的成本。雖然圖14顯示了本發明皇冠1蓋周圍環繞27個銳角的實施例，但本領域技術人員可以理解的是，座部18的優勢並不依賴於銳角的存在與其數量。Figure 14 is a side cross-sectional view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 13 . The skirt 7 is extended along the shoulder 19 adjacent to the top end 17. The seat portion 18 has sufficient depth to allow the tab ring 2 to be substantially flush with the top end 17 of the crown cap 1. This embodiment facilitates the suitability of conventional bottle capping machines without the need to modify or refurbish the machine. A further advantage of the seat portion 18 is that the seat portion 18 forms a creped edge around its circumference, and it is known that the creping structure is resistant to bending to enhance the flat sheet layer, which is generally perpendicular to the direction of the creping structure. Therefore, the seat portion 18 additionally provides the advantage of reinforcing the crown cap 1. The seat portion 18 further provides the advantage of reinforcing the crown cap 1 by reducing the thickness of the crown cap 1 so as to use a lower gauge (thinner) crown cap material instead of a standard thickness crown cap, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing materials. . Although FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which the crown 1 of the present invention surrounds 27 acute angles, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the advantage of the seat 18 does not depend on the presence of the acute angle and its number.

圖15是圖解說明圖14皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的側向剖視圖。座部18比圖14所示的更淺，因此拉片環2座落在略微或者部分超出皇冠蓋1的頂端17。這種實施例提供的益處是，提供便於手動開啟，可輕鬆抓緊拉片環2。這樣的實施例也適用於標準瓶蓋封口機，這取決於瓶蓋封蓋機可接受的公差範圍。Figure 15 is a side cross-sectional view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 14. The seat portion 18 is shallower than that shown in Figure 14, so that the tab ring 2 is seated slightly or partially beyond the top end 17 of the crown cap 1. This embodiment provides the benefit of providing easy manual opening for easy grasping of the tab ring 2. Such an embodiment is also applicable to standard cap sealers, depending on the acceptable tolerance range of the capper.

圖15還說明了一種可替代的實施例，其中襯墊12透過適當的粘著劑安裝在皇冠蓋1的底表面，並且覆蓋在鉚釘4的底部。這種實施例可能有別於圖9的那些描述，其中鉚釘4將襯墊12固定在皇冠蓋1底部的適當位置。Figure 15 also illustrates an alternative embodiment in which the liner 12 is mounted to the bottom surface of the crown cap 1 by a suitable adhesive and overlies the bottom of the rivet 4. Such an embodiment may differ from those of FIG. 9 in that the rivet 4 secures the liner 12 in place on the bottom of the crown cap 1.

圖16是圖解說明圖13皇冠蓋的一個可替代實施例的等軸俯視圖。在此，皇冠蓋1在第一刻痕線6d的末端16被斷開。進一步以拉片環2沿著S形曲線第二刻痕線6f撕扯，使容器從銳角7脫離(未顯示)，並從容器中分離皇冠蓋1。Figure 16 is an isometric top view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of Figure 13. Here, the crown cap 1 is broken at the end 16 of the first score line 6d. Further, the tab ring 2 is torn along the second score line 6f of the S-shaped curve to disengage the container from the acute angle 7 (not shown), and the crown cap 1 is separated from the container.

圖17是圖解說明圖13皇冠蓋1的一個可替代實施例的俯視圖。圖17的實施例提供了印刷的訴求，例如，為了利用切割線6輕鬆拉開瓶蓋，在拉片3上印刷一種彎曲箭頭20，指示使用者如何拉動拉片環2。透過印製完成的操作說明21提供進一步的解釋，其中可能標明，例如「拉起拉環向下移除」。附加的警語22亦可印在皇冠蓋1上（圖中未示）。Figure 17 is a top plan view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 13. The embodiment of Figure 17 provides a printing appeal, for example, to easily pull the cap open with the cutting line 6, and a curved arrow 20 is printed on the pull tab 3 to indicate how the user pulls the tab ring 2. Further explanation is provided by the printed operation instructions 21, which may be indicated, for example, "Pull up the pull ring downwards". Additional warnings 22 can also be printed on the crown cap 1 (not shown).

圖18A是圖解說明本發明切割線實施例的側向剖視圖。為了形成一拉裂槽，切割線6可加工成具有任意一個或多個各種樣式的斷面輪廓，並根據工程選擇一家特定廠商。例如，圖18A展示一個方形或者矩形的橫斷面結構。當本文提及撕裂槽、切割線、刻痕線或壓痕結構時，這些術語旨在以各種方式來描繪本發明皇冠蓋的易裂部份，藉由開瓶器組件的開啟及撕裂，讓皇冠蓋得以從容器上脫離。Figure 18A is a side cross-sectional view illustrating an embodiment of a cutting line of the present invention. In order to form a cleavage groove, the cutting line 6 can be machined into a profile having any one or more of various patterns, and a particular manufacturer is selected according to the engineering. For example, Figure 18A shows a square or rectangular cross-sectional structure. When reference is made herein to a tear groove, a cut line, a score line or an indentation structure, these terms are intended to depict the frangible portion of the crown cap of the present invention in various ways, by opening and tearing the bottle opener assembly. Let the crown cap be detached from the container.

圖18B是圖解說明圖18A切割線一個可替代實施例的側向剖視圖。這裡展示了適合切割線6的曲形斷面結構。Figure 18B is a side cross-sectional view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the cutting line of Figure 18A. A curved cross-sectional structure suitable for the cutting line 6 is shown here.

圖18C是圖解說明圖18A切割線一個可替代實施例的側向剖視圖。這裡展示了適合切割線6的V形斷面結構。Figure 18C is a side cross-sectional view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the cutting line of Figure 18A. A V-shaped cross-sectional structure suitable for the cutting line 6 is shown here.

本文將在此一併陳述圖18D-18F分別對應於圖18A-18C切割線的橫斷面側視圖，其不同之處在於圖18A-18C的切割線是沿著皇冠蓋1的頂部面刻畫，而圖18D-18F的切割線是沿著皇冠蓋1的底部面刻畫，圖18D-18F具體實施例的優點在於使用者無法看到刻畫在底部面的切割線，藉以提升皇冠蓋外觀的美感。另外的可替代實施例，如圖18A-18C所示，在頂端17的兩側刻畫切割線，以及如圖18D-18F所示，在底部面刻畫切割線。A cross-sectional side view of Figs. 18D-18F corresponding to the cutting lines of Figs. 18A-18C, respectively, will be described herein, with the difference that the cutting lines of Figs. 18A-18C are depicted along the top surface of the crown cap 1, While the cutting line of Figures 18D-18F is depicted along the bottom surface of the crown cap 1, the advantage of the embodiment of Figures 18D-18F is that the user cannot see the cutting line depicted on the bottom surface to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the crown cap. In another alternative embodiment, as shown in Figures 18A-18C, the cutting lines are drawn on both sides of the top end 17, and as shown in Figures 18D-18F, the cutting lines are engraved on the bottom side.

圖19是圖解說明本發明皇冠蓋底部的等軸視圖。襯墊12黏附在皇冠蓋頂端的內側，鉚釘4的下端。另外，圖19說明了本發明皇冠蓋邊緣周圍環繞21個銳角7的實施例。Figure 19 is an isometric view illustrating the bottom of a crown cap of the present invention. The liner 12 is adhered to the inner side of the top end of the crown cap, and the lower end of the rivet 4. In addition, Figure 19 illustrates an embodiment in which 21 acute angles 7 are wrapped around the edge of the crown cap of the present invention.

圖20A - 20E是說明本發明皇冠蓋可替代實施例的俯視示意圖。每一個實施例具有一條曲線向左的刻痕線，從皇冠蓋頂部中心延伸至其環形邊緣。為了降低本發明皇冠蓋從開口產生銳利的風險，各種可替代實施例分別提供了刻痕、切割或撕裂線，在拉環部分被拉開分離後，沿著皇冠蓋邊緣產生平滑曲線。因此，圖20A - 20E可替代的刻痕線分別為20，22， 24，26，和28，圓弧向左（如俯視皇冠蓋的頂端），當拉片部分從皇冠蓋被撕扯分離後，沿著皇冠蓋邊緣留下平滑彎曲的形狀，而不是銳利的邊緣。圖20A - 20E的每個實施例，說明了曲線組成的刻痕線20，22， 24，26，和28 等，依次具有不同的曲率，這是工程或設計選擇的問題，透過曲率的數量，獲得所需的性能特性。例如，一個相對平直的刻痕線20 ，可以產生一個平滑的邊緣，但可能需要更多的撕扯力，而相對較為彎曲的刻痕線，例如28 ，可能只需少許的撕扯力，但與刻痕線20相較，產生了一個不同形狀的邊緣。刻痕線30的圓弧向右終止於皇冠蓋邊緣之前，因此，皇冠蓋從瓶體或其他密封容器移除後，仍維持一個​​整體件。20A-20E are top plan views illustrating an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention. Each of the embodiments has a curved left-hand score line extending from the center of the crown cap to its annular edge. In order to reduce the risk of the crown cap of the present invention being sharp from the opening, various alternative embodiments provide a score, cut or tear line, respectively, which produces a smooth curve along the edge of the crown cap after the tab portion is pulled apart. Therefore, the alternative score lines of FIGS. 20A-20E are 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28, respectively, and the arc is leftward (such as the top of the crown cap), when the tab portion is torn from the crown cap, Leave a smooth curved shape along the edge of the crown cap instead of a sharp edge. Each of the embodiments of Figs. 20A - 20E illustrates the score lines 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28, etc., which in turn have different curvatures, which is a matter of engineering or design choice, the number of curvatures transmitted, Get the performance characteristics you need. For example, a relatively straight score line 20 can produce a smooth edge, but may require more tearing force, while a relatively curved score line, such as 28, may require a little tear force, but with The score line 20 is compared to produce a differently shaped edge. The arc of the score line 30 terminates rightward to the edge of the crown cap, so that the crown cap remains a unitary piece after being removed from the bottle or other sealed container.

圖21為本發明皇冠蓋一個可替代實施例的俯視示意圖，說明拉片的偏心位置。本發明皇冠蓋實施例具有一偏心位置，有利於鉚釘4和開瓶器其他組件，例如，非飲料容器，如湯或豆類的罐頭食品容器，其開瓶器組件緊鄰容器的邊緣。撕裂線6g和6h穿越皇冠蓋1的頂端17，基本上為直線方式切割至末端16。 因此，皇冠蓋1頂端上鉚釘孔或鉚釘4或皇冠蓋1開瓶器組件的位置是工程設計選擇的主要問題。一個偏離皇冠蓋中心的鉚釘實施例已被本文上述的其他實施例公開。Figure 21 is a top plan view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention illustrating the eccentric position of the tab. The crown cap embodiment of the present invention has an eccentric position that facilitates the rivet 4 and other components of the bottle opener, such as a non-beverage container, such as a canned food container of soup or beans, with the bottle opener assembly adjacent the edge of the container. The tear lines 6g and 6h traverse the top end 17 of the crown cap 1 and are cut substantially to the end 16 in a straight line. Therefore, the position of the rivet hole or rivet 4 or the crown cap 1 opener assembly on the top of the crown cap 1 is a major problem in engineering design selection. A rivet embodiment that deviates from the center of the crown cap has been disclosed by other embodiments described herein above.

圖22為圖21所示皇冠蓋一個可替代實施例的俯視示意圖，具有一條可替代的刻痕線。圖22實施例中的刻痕線6g和6h，相對於圖21，從鉚釘4直接下延至裙部7，類似於前述實施例的切割線6。刻痕線6g下延至末端16，而刻痕線6h則反向持續延伸，其長度始終與末端16和頂端7維持大致相等的距離。刻痕線6h的組成包含一上端徑向部分，從開瓶器組件沿著徑向軸線延伸至裙部7，以及一下端環形部分，沿著裙部7環形方向環繞延伸，並從上端徑向部分的末端延伸至端點，大致從裙部7的環形末端16底部隔開。優選的，相較於限定刻痕線6f的S形曲線，下端環形部分限定了一個較長的水平面，如上所述，例如，該下端環形部分約延伸至裙部7周圍四分之一的位置。Figure 22 is a top plan view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of Figure 21 with an alternative score line. The score lines 6g and 6h in the embodiment of Fig. 22, with respect to Fig. 21, are directly descended from the rivet 4 to the skirt 7, similar to the cutting line 6 of the previous embodiment. The score line 6g is extended down to the end 16 and the score line 6h continues to extend in the opposite direction, the length of which is always maintained at approximately equal distances to the end 16 and the tip 7. The composition of the score line 6h includes an upper end radial portion extending from the bottle opener assembly along the radial axis to the skirt portion 7, and the lower end annular portion extending around the annular direction of the skirt 7 and radially from the upper end The ends of the portions extend to the ends and are generally spaced from the bottom of the annular end 16 of the skirt 7. Preferably, the lower end annular portion defines a longer horizontal plane than the S-shaped curve defining the score line 6f, as described above, for example, the lower end annular portion extends approximately one quarter of the circumference of the skirt 7. .

圖23為圖21所示皇冠蓋1一個可替代實施例的俯視示意圖，具有一條可替代的刻痕線6g。該刻痕線6g限定在撕扯皇冠蓋1的周圍，幾乎環繞頂端17形成一個完整的圓，僅在末端下延至裙部7一路延伸至皇冠蓋末端16。 圖23實施例是有利的，例如，當容器使用飲料以外的產品時，如湯或燉品，可提供一個較大的開口，使其易於取出內含物。Figure 23 is a top plan view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 21 with an alternative score line 6g. The score line 6g is defined around the tear-off crown cover 1 and forms a complete circle almost around the top end 17, extending only to the skirt 7 extending all the way to the crown cap end 16. The embodiment of Figure 23 is advantageous, for example, when the container uses a product other than a beverage, such as a soup or stew, a larger opening is provided to make it easier to remove the contents.

圖24為本發明皇冠蓋1一種可替代實施例的等軸視圖，圖中不具起皺的銳角。圖24皇冠蓋的實施例類似於果汁等所用的壓力密封瓶蓋，不用起皺，旋合在容器的頂部。本實施例亦有利於與醫療容器和小玻璃瓶的使用。開瓶器組件與鉚釘4皆為偏心設置，除此之外，皇冠蓋1的開啟如前所述。Figure 24 is an isometric view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of the present invention without the sharp angle of wrinkling. The embodiment of the crown cap of Fig. 24 is similar to the pressure sealed cap used for juice or the like, and is screwed to the top of the container without wrinkling. This embodiment is also advantageous for use with medical containers and vials. Both the bottle opener assembly and the rivet 4 are eccentrically disposed, and in addition, the opening of the crown cap 1 is as described above.

圖25A為本發明皇冠蓋1一種未斷開刻痕線6的橫斷面示意圖。圖25B為圖25A所示的一種斷開刻痕線6實施例的橫斷面示意圖。本發明皇冠蓋的優點在於實現製造刻痕線6的安全特徵，結合圖25A和圖25B描述，刻痕線6被刻痕在皇冠蓋1上，藉由這種方式，在橫斷面結構上，刻痕線6任何一側的一部分具有彎曲邊緣6m和6n。刻痕線6形成的密封可能被類推於雙手手指合在一起相互抵靠所形成的封口。每隻指尖是彎曲的，當兩隻手指合在一起時，即形成密封。當使用本發明開瓶器組件拉開圖25A刻痕線6，如同皇冠蓋1開口時，皇冠蓋1構成兩個彎曲或圓形的邊緣6m和6n，類似拉開的手指。當斷開易裂的刻痕線6時，分別形成非銳邊的6m和6n。Figure 25A is a schematic cross-sectional view of an unopened score line 6 of the crown cap 1 of the present invention. Figure 25B is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of a broken score line 6 shown in Figure 25A. An advantage of the crown cap of the present invention is the achievement of the security feature of the manufacture of the score line 6, which is described in connection with Figures 25A and 25B, the score line 6 being scored on the crown cap 1, by way of this, on the cross-sectional structure A portion of either side of the score line 6 has curved edges 6m and 6n. The seal formed by the score line 6 may be analogized to the seal formed by the fingers of both hands being brought together against each other. Each fingertip is curved, and when the two fingers are brought together, a seal is formed. When the bottle opener assembly of Figure 25A is used to open the score line 6 of Figure 25A, as the crown cover 1 is open, the crown cover 1 constitutes two curved or rounded edges 6m and 6n, similar to a pulled finger. When the frangible score line 6 is broken, 6m and 6n which are not sharp edges are respectively formed.

究其因，圖25A和圖25B切割線6的優點在於減少開瓶器組件拉開皇冠蓋1時所產生的銳緣。圓形的撕裂邊6m和6n相較於其他案例的銳緣，使得開啟的皇冠蓋1大幅降低其危險性。The reason why the cutting line 6 of Figs. 25A and 25B is advantageous is to reduce the sharp edge generated when the bottle opener assembly pulls the crown cap 1. The rounded torn edges 6m and 6n are sharper than the other cases, making the open crown cap 1 significantly less dangerous.

進一步討論切割線6，考慮本發明皇冠蓋1的易用性，其中皇冠蓋1的材料可被開瓶器組件一次性撕開，易撕裂的程度與需要施加於皇冠蓋材料的拉扯力大小相關。也就是說，也許可降低拉扯力，增加易撕裂性，藉由採用皇冠蓋塗佈或上漆的已知技術，其所含的添加劑可增加易撕裂性，降低皇冠蓋1材料沿著切割線6所需的拉扯力。具體實施例還包括用於黏附皇冠蓋內側襯墊的可降解型塑料添加劑，便於使用後的皇冠蓋進行廢棄物處理時，可促進襯墊的生物降解。現有技術已知各種市售可用的可生物降解型塑料添加劑，而選擇一種或多種這種添加劑是設計抉擇的問題。Further discussing the cutting line 6, considering the ease of use of the crown cap 1 of the present invention, wherein the material of the crown cap 1 can be torn by the bottle opener assembly at one time, the degree of tearing and the amount of pulling force required to be applied to the crown cap material Related. That is to say, it may reduce the pulling force and increase the tearability. By using the known technique of coating or painting the crown cap, the additive contained therein can increase the tearability and reduce the material of the crown cover 1 along the The pulling force required to cut the wire 6. Particular embodiments also include a degradable plastic additive for adhering the inner liner of the crown cap to facilitate biodegradation of the liner when used in a disposable crown cap for waste disposal. Various commercially available biodegradable plastic additives are known in the art, and the choice of one or more such additives is a matter of design choice.

除了本文所描述的各種結構外，透過表1所示的建議規格，本發明皇冠蓋被賦予了優於現有技術的某些優點。In addition to the various structures described herein, the crown cap of the present invention is given certain advantages over the prior art through the suggested specifications shown in Table 1.

表1 Table 1

特別是鍍錫鐵片材料在洛氏30T硬度計上顯示硬度約為T-4級的最適宜用於本發明的瓶蓋(見表1第3項)。儘管T-3和T-5的實施例有益於特定產品。該優選地軟性鍍錫鐵片材料，只需少許的施力，便可用開瓶器組件撕開本發明的皇冠蓋，同時仍保有容器內含物足夠的密封。基於本發明之目的，鍍錫鐵片所指的任何材料，包括可用於製造皇冠蓋的錫或錫合金，但這並不意味著皇冠蓋由錫或錫合金所製成。In particular, the tinplate material exhibits a bottle cap of the present invention having a hardness of about T-4 on a Rockwell 30T hardness tester (see item 3 of Table 1). Although the embodiments of T-3 and T-5 are beneficial to a particular product. The preferably soft tinplate material can be used to tear the crown cap of the present invention with a small amount of force, while still maintaining a sufficient seal of the contents of the container. For the purposes of the present invention, any material referred to as a tinplate, including tin or tin alloys that can be used to make crown caps, does not mean that the crown cap is made of tin or tin alloy.

最適宜用於本發明拉環的拉力約為2.5kg(公斤)或更小(參見表1第11項)。例如前述所建議相對較小的拉力，幾乎任何使用者皆有足夠的力量使用本發明的皇冠蓋打開瓶體。相反地，採用相對較大拉力的缺點在於需要較大的初始拉力才能撕開鍍錫鐵片材料，一旦鍍錫鐵片被撕開，突然釋放的拉力會導致瓶體猛烈搖晃脫離使用者，以戲劇化的方式溢出內容物。The pulling force most suitable for use in the tab of the present invention is about 2.5 kg (kg) or less (see item 11 of Table 1). For example, the relatively small pulling force suggested above, almost any user has sufficient strength to open the bottle using the crown cap of the present invention. Conversely, the disadvantage of using a relatively large pulling force is that a large initial pulling force is required to tear the tinplate material. Once the tinplate is torn, the sudden release of the pulling force causes the bottle to shake off the user violently. The dramatic way to spill the contents.

除了鍍錫鐵片較低的硬度外，皇冠蓋的厚度或規格也有助於實現較小的拉力。例如，本發明皇冠蓋推薦的厚度低於0.28mm (參見表1第2項)。標準的瓶蓋的厚度大於或等於0.28mm。其中，實施例的皇冠蓋材料藉由起皺結構強化，在座部的實施例中，其厚度可能小於標準皇冠蓋，例如，一種大約像0.16mm一樣薄的規格。In addition to the lower hardness of the tinplate, the thickness or size of the crown cap also contributes to less tension. For example, the recommended thickness of the crown cap of the present invention is less than 0.28 mm (see item 2 of Table 1). The thickness of the standard cap is greater than or equal to 0.28 mm. Wherein, the crown cap material of the embodiment is reinforced by the creping structure, and in the embodiment of the seat portion, the thickness may be smaller than that of the standard crown cap, for example, a gauge as thin as about 0.16 mm.

除了上文描繪的前述實施例之外，一個補充的實施例提供了一種降低規格的皇冠蓋，實現了額外的優勢。In addition to the foregoing embodiments depicted above, a complementary embodiment provides a reduced size crown cap that provides additional advantages.

全球使用的瓶蓋量數以億計，而瓶蓋成本有很大程度是取決於製作瓶蓋所需的材料量。降低這類成本的方法是減少每一個皇冠蓋所使用的材料量。可經由製作薄型皇冠蓋，或降低皇冠蓋規格來減少該材料的使用量。藉由使用較少的材料來降低規格，但此舉製造不堅固的皇冠蓋，可能危及皇冠蓋的完整性。另一種方法是使用較少但使用較為堅固的材料。但是，堅固的材料可能比一般用來製造皇冠蓋的標準鍍錫板更為昂貴，這會損及節省成本的目的。The number of caps used worldwide is in the hundreds of millions, and the cost of caps depends to a large extent on the amount of material needed to make the caps. The way to reduce this cost is to reduce the amount of material used in each crown cap. The amount of material used can be reduced by making a thin crown cap or by reducing the crown cap size. Reduce the size by using less material, but this creates a crown that is not strong and can compromise the integrity of the crown cap. Another method is to use less material that is more robust. However, sturdy materials may be more expensive than standard tinplates commonly used to make crown caps, which can compromise cost savings.

一種可達到降低材料量，且使用相同材料且不損及強度的方式是具有起皺結構的皇冠蓋。關於這種起皺結構，本文已在圖13描述，例如，本發明皇冠蓋在頂端形成一座部，用以承接開瓶器組件。下文是本發明皇冠蓋低規格實施例的描述，其中利用了起皺結構的優點。One way to achieve a reduced amount of material and use the same material without compromising strength is a crown cap with a creped structure. With regard to such a creping structure, which has been described herein in FIG. 13, for example, the crown cap of the present invention forms a portion at the top end for receiving the bottle opener assembly. The following is a description of a low profile embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention in which the advantages of the creped structure are utilized.

現在回到圖26，皇冠蓋1包括頂端110鄰接一止於座部18的凹陷部120。裙部7從頂端110向下延伸。在某些具體實施例中，凸緣從裙部7傾斜延伸。在裙部7的周圍部分，形成可替代的凹槽 150 和槽脊152。皇冠蓋1和其他附圖中所示皇冠蓋，皆採用以槓桿開啟的撬開式瓶蓋。本發明還包括一種藉由扭轉開啟的旋開式瓶蓋（未顯示於圖中），正如熟悉皇冠蓋技術人員所理解的狀況。最後，適於使用的皇冠蓋1與合適的拉環形式一起裝配組裝至座部18上，同時具有有效的刻痕線凸起於皇冠蓋1上，如上所述。Returning now to Figure 26, the crown cap 1 includes a top end 110 that abuts a recess 120 that terminates in the seat portion 18. The skirt 7 extends downward from the top end 110. In some embodiments, the flange extends obliquely from the skirt 7. In the peripheral portion of the skirt 7, an alternative groove 150 and lands 152 are formed. The crown cap 1 and the crown caps shown in the other figures all use a split-open cap that is opened by a lever. The present invention also includes a spin-open cap (not shown) that is opened by twisting, as is familiar to those skilled in the art of crown caps. Finally, the crown cap 1 suitable for use is assembled and assembled with the appropriate tab form onto the seat 18 while having an effective score line raised onto the crown cap 1, as described above.

座部18是凹陷的，也就是說，它低於頂端110，但是借助於過渡表面鄰接於頂端110，本文為方便起見，將過渡表面稱作凹陷部120。凹陷部120可透過各種適當的方式形成於皇冠蓋1中，從而提供各種有利的形狀。例如，在具體的示範性實施例中，皇冠蓋1材料完整地形成同心層、凹槽或階梯，直到座部18達到預期深度，如圖26所示。在可替換的實施例中，從頂端110到座部18形成具有平滑彎曲表面的凹陷部120。據推測，凹陷部120的形式可作為支撐或結構強化的作用，有助於堅挺座部18，使其免於偏斜或變形。The seat 18 is recessed, that is, it is lower than the top end 110, but by virtue of the transition surface abutting the top end 110, the transition surface is referred to herein as a recess 120 for convenience. The recess 120 can be formed in the crown cap 1 in a variety of suitable manners to provide a variety of advantageous shapes. For example, in a particular exemplary embodiment, the crown cap 1 material completely forms a concentric layer, groove or step until the seat 18 reaches a desired depth, as shown in FIG. In an alternative embodiment, a recess 120 having a smooth curved surface is formed from the top end 110 to the seat portion 18. It is speculated that the form of the recess 120 can act as a support or structural reinforcement to help secure the seat 18 from deflection or deformation.

裙部7沿著皇冠蓋1的外圍從頂端110向下延伸，在特定的示範性實施例中，順暢地併入一個向下且呈放射狀向外延伸的凸緣。裙部7最適於被壓接於瓶頸上，以達到密封目的。裙部7在特定的示範性實施例中，被細分為波浪形，反復部分定義為凹槽 150 和槽脊152。優選的，反復部分沿圓周方向均勻地區隔，致使每一個凹槽150與環繞皇冠蓋1周圍的其它所有凹槽150均相同，且每個槽脊152與環繞皇冠蓋1周圍的其它所有槽脊152均相同。應理解的是，皇冠蓋1可能包含任何數量的凹槽150以及槽脊152。The skirt 7 extends downwardly from the top end 110 along the periphery of the crown cap 1, and in a particular exemplary embodiment, smoothly incorporates a downwardly and radially outwardly extending flange. The skirt 7 is best adapted to be crimped onto the bottle neck for sealing purposes. The skirt 7 is subdivided into undulating shapes in a particular exemplary embodiment, with the repeating portions defined as grooves 150 and lands 152. Preferably, the repeating portions are evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction such that each of the grooves 150 is identical to all other grooves 150 surrounding the crown cap 1 and each of the lands 152 and all other lands surrounding the crown cap 1 152 are the same. It should be understood that the crown cap 1 may include any number of grooves 150 and lands 152.

參見圖27A和27B、圖28A和28B、及圖29A和29B，每個實施例描繪的「B」圖示透過B-B線對應於「A」的水平斷面。每個實施例指定的27A/ B、28A/ B和29A/ ​​B，其特徵在於其座部18的特定直徑，每個實施例按寬度分別標示為B210、310和410，並按深度將凹部120的深度A分別標示為220、320以及420。Referring to Figures 27A and 27B, Figures 28A and 28B, and Figures 29A and 29B, the "B" depicted in each embodiment illustrates a horizontal section corresponding to "A" through the B-B line. Each embodiment specifies 27A/B, 28A/B, and 29A/B, characterized by a particular diameter of its seat 18, each embodiment being labeled B210, 310, and 410 by width, and by depth The depths A of the recesses 120 are designated 220, 320, and 420, respectively.

藉由選擇的實施例，以起皺結構達到強化材料的特定結果，例如，具有特定座部直徑210、310或410以及特定凹陷深度220、320或420的組合。例如，圖27A/B的示範性實施例，座部直徑210相對較寬，凹陷深度220則為中等深度。圖28A/B的示範性實施例，其座部寬度310為中等寬度，凹陷深度320是三個實施例中最深的。圖29A/B的示範性實施例，其座部直徑410是實施例中最窄的，凹陷深度420深度為三個實施例中最淺的。為了藉由起皺結構達到強化材料所需的效果，可將座部寬度如210、310或410與凹陷深度如220、320或420進行組合，從而選擇得以實現的特定實施例。With selected embodiments, specific results of the reinforcing material are achieved in a creped structure, for example, having a particular seat diameter 210, 310 or 410 and a combination of specific recess depths 220, 320 or 420. For example, in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 27A/B, the seat diameter 210 is relatively wide and the recess depth 220 is a medium depth. 28A/B, the seat width 310 is a medium width and the recess depth 320 is the deepest of the three embodiments. 29A/B, the seat diameter 410 is the narrowest in the embodiment, and the depth of the recess 420 is the shallowest of the three embodiments. In order to achieve the desired effect of the reinforcing material by the creping structure, the seat widths such as 210, 310 or 410 can be combined with the depth of the recesses, such as 220, 320 or 420, to select a particular embodiment that can be implemented.

透過起皺結構強化材料，已由薄片材料所形成的薄板或平板獲得驗證。一個薄片材料的產品如果具有起皺結構，就可用較少的材料提供橫向強度。瓶蓋就是一個薄片材料的產品，其中的薄板常使用鋼材或鍍錫板材，經由塑形而固定於瓶體或其他容器的頂端。一種標準的撬開式或擰開式瓶蓋應有的材料厚度，主要是考量防洩露性及瓶蓋連結至容器的牢固性而確定之。起皺結構容許瓶蓋使用較少的材料，同時擁有皇冠蓋標準厚度的等效強度。具有起皺結構的皇冠蓋會更薄，也就是說，相較於標準瓶蓋，可降低規格，而降低瓶蓋規格的優點是透過使用較少的材料來節省成本。Through the creping structure reinforcement material, the sheet or plate formed by the sheet material has been verified. If a product of sheet material has a creped structure, less material can be used to provide lateral strength. The cap is a product of a sheet material in which the sheet is often made of steel or tin plate and is fixed to the top of the bottle or other container by shaping. The material thickness of a standard split or unscrewed cap is determined primarily by consideration of leak resistance and the secureness of the cap to the container. The creped structure allows the cap to use less material while having the equivalent strength of the standard thickness of the crown cap. A crown cap with a creped structure will be thinner, that is, a lower specification than a standard cap, and the advantage of lowering the cap size is to save costs by using less material.

降低規格的另一優勢在於起皺結構的瓶蓋對創新的「拉拔式」瓶蓋產生了效用，正如上文所述，皇冠蓋上連結一拉片組件。該拉片可斷開瓶蓋材料，並使用開瓶器組件的拉環撕扯皇冠蓋脫離瓶體。降低規格的瓶蓋更易於撕扯分離，因為該瓶蓋為薄片材料，且撕扯的動作平行於起皺結構加固材料的方向，因此，撕扯力不需超過材料起皺結構的加固力。起皺結構提供垂直於材料起皺方向的強化。Another advantage of lowering the gauge is that the cap of the creped structure has an effect on the innovative "drawing" cap, as described above, with a pull tab assembly attached to the crown cap. The pull tab can be used to break the cap material and use the pull tab of the bottle opener assembly to tear the crown cap away from the bottle. The reduced size cap is easier to tear apart because the cap is a sheet material and the tearing action is parallel to the direction of the creping structure reinforcing material, so the tearing force does not need to exceed the reinforcing force of the material creping structure. The creped structure provides reinforcement perpendicular to the direction of wrinkling of the material.

除了本發明附圖說明的結構外，應理解的是，將會出現具備本發明起皺結構優點和提供降低瓶蓋規格的其它結構，例如，從裙部頂部朝向座部中心延展的同心環，以及形成於瓶蓋板面上的裝飾樣式，諸如星狀、品牌標誌、運動隊標誌、宗教徽章等，皆包含於本發明中。In addition to the structure illustrated in the drawings of the present invention, it will be appreciated that other structures having the advantages of the creping structure of the present invention and providing reduced cap sizes, such as concentric rings extending from the top of the skirt toward the center of the seat, will occur. And decorative patterns formed on the surface of the bottle cover, such as stars, brand logos, sports team logos, religious badges, etc., are all included in the present invention.

有多種起皺結構的方式提供于瓶蓋，包括但不限於金屬沖壓、模壓、壓花加工等。本發明的非金屬皇冠蓋可透過塑料皇冠蓋的注射成型或其他適當的生產手段來製造。A variety of creping structures are provided for the closure, including but not limited to metal stamping, molding, embossing, and the like. The non-metallic crown cap of the present invention can be manufactured by injection molding of a plastic crown cap or other suitable means of production.

相較於傳統皇冠蓋目前的商業化生產，本文所述的起皺結構皇冠蓋的具體實施例中，如撬開式或擰開式的實施例，皆與增強硬度的鋼材一起成型。例如，傳統皇冠蓋通常由單相軋壓鍍錫鐵片所製成，硬度T4級 ，厚度為0.21mm到0.23mm。根據ASTM 623，該鍍錫鐵片在30T硬度計測出的平均硬度（也就是說，報告硬度值，不考慮+/-變數）約為61 。相較於現有技術，本發明所述的皇冠蓋1更薄、更輕；例如，皇冠蓋1可由厚度約為0.16mm到0.18mm的材料製成，且其性能與常規較厚的瓶蓋相當或大致相當。當皇冠蓋1的結構由強度更大的鋼材製成時，更易達成減少金屬用量的目的。例如，發明人已經證實使用DR8 (根據ASTM 623)或DR550 (根據EN 10203)可製成具有凹槽的高效益低規格皇冠蓋。可選地，發明人推測尚可使用其它材料，如單相軋壓鍍錫鐵薄片或回火強化型材料，以及本發明所述具有類似性能的無錫鋼板等。In contrast to the current commercial production of conventional crown caps, in the specific embodiment of the corrugated crown cap described herein, such as a split or unscrewed embodiment, it is formed with a steel of enhanced hardness. For example, a conventional crown cap is usually made of a single-phase rolled tinplate, having a hardness of T4 and a thickness of 0.21 mm to 0.23 mm. According to ASTM 623, the average hardness measured by the 30T hardness meter (that is, the reported hardness value, regardless of the +/- variable) is about 61. Compared with the prior art, the crown cap 1 of the present invention is thinner and lighter; for example, the crown cap 1 can be made of a material having a thickness of about 0.16 mm to 0.18 mm, and its performance is comparable to that of a conventional thicker cap. Or roughly equal. When the structure of the crown cap 1 is made of a steel material having a stronger strength, it is easier to achieve the purpose of reducing the amount of metal. For example, the inventors have demonstrated that a highly efficient low profile crown cap with grooves can be made using DR8 (according to ASTM 623) or DR550 (according to EN 10203). Alternatively, the inventors speculate that other materials such as single-phase rolled tin-iron plate or temper-reinforced material, and tin-free steel sheets having similar properties as described in the present invention may be used.

皇冠蓋1根據30T硬度計測出較適宜的平均硬度應大於62 (符合ASTM 623)，適宜硬度應大於65，更適宜的硬度應大於68，最適宜的硬度應在71以上。圖26及圖28A實施例使用硬度為73的鋼材，證實非常有效。硬度上限的設定取決於與硬板材有關的壓接過程或回彈(可能使捲曲凸緣呈非捲曲態)中玻璃瓶所能承受的最大應力。According to the 30T hardness tester, the crown cover 1 should have a suitable average hardness of more than 62 (according to ASTM 623), a suitable hardness of more than 65, a more suitable hardness of more than 68, and an optimum hardness of 71 or more. The embodiment of Figures 26 and 28A used a steel having a hardness of 73 and proved to be very effective. The upper limit of hardness is determined by the maximum stress that the glass bottle can withstand during the crimping process associated with the hard sheet or the rebound (which may cause the crimped flange to be in a non-crimped state).

皇冠蓋1可採用傳統的沖壓設備製成，只需稍微變更工具組件形成所需結構(如凹槽、十字狀、星狀以及漣漪狀)。皇冠蓋1亦可採用傳統設備壓接而成，相較於現有的傳統壓接機，只需將縮口改小即可。The crown cap 1 can be made using conventional stamping equipment, with only minor changes to the tool assembly to form the desired structure (eg, grooves, crosses, stars, and braids). The crown cap 1 can also be crimped using conventional equipment. Compared to the existing conventional crimping machine, it is only necessary to reduce the shrinkage.

因為硬度與屈服點反映的強度有關，所以皇冠蓋的硬度可由屈服點的相應標度表示之。例如，DR8或DR550鍍錫鐵片的屈服點為550 MPA (拉力試驗結果)。Since the hardness is related to the strength reflected by the yield point, the hardness of the crown cap can be expressed by the corresponding scale of the yield point. For example, the yield point of the DR8 or DR550 tinplate is 550 MPA (tension test results).

然而，應當理解的是，在拉環開瓶器實施例中，使用的軟性材料，如軟性的鍍錫鐵片比T4甚或鋁質材料更具優勢，因為它們易於打開和撕裂。由起皺結構所提供的強度，容許使用相對軟質的皇冠蓋材料，同時保持容器所需的安全密合強度。發明者認為，最佳的皇冠蓋實施例是具有安全密合強度和易於打開及撕裂軟性材質的組合，而那是設計和工程的選擇性問題。在本規範中，本發明包含的皇冠蓋不具全部結構、材料和/或優點。However, it should be understood that in the pull ring opener embodiment, the soft materials used, such as soft tinplate, are more advantageous than T4 or even aluminum materials because they are prone to opening and tearing. The strength provided by the creped structure permits the use of a relatively soft crown cap material while maintaining the desired secure bond strength of the container. The inventors believe that the best crown cap embodiment is a combination of a secure bond strength and a material that is easy to open and tear, which is a matter of design and engineering selectivity. In this specification, the crown caps included in the present invention do not have all of the structure, materials, and/or advantages.

根據實施例的描述，按本發明製成的商業用皇冠蓋比許多常規的皇冠蓋少用高達25%的材料（例如，鋼材或鍍錫鐵片），在碳排放方面亦具有相應的優勢。材料節省的重量約略相稱於金屬減少的厚度。再者，儘管冷卻單個皇冠蓋所需的能量不多，但冷卻每年生產的皇冠蓋(北美約450億，全球約3000億)所節約的能源還是很可觀的。According to the description of the embodiments, the commercial crown cap made in accordance with the present invention uses up to 25% less material (e.g., steel or tinplate) than many conventional crown caps, and has corresponding advantages in terms of carbon emissions. The weight savings of the material is approximately proportional to the reduced thickness of the metal. Moreover, although the energy required to cool a single crown cap is small, the energy saved by cooling the crown cap produced annually (about 45 billion in North America and about 300 billion in the world) is still considerable.

降低規格皇冠蓋對減少鍍錫鐵片或鋼材的成本造成影響，而PVC/ 不含PVC的襯墊材料可用來作為附加物，這使得金屬皇冠蓋和PVC或不含PVC的襯墊材料，皆可在「現行的垃圾填埋場」中進行生物降解。Reducing the size of the crown cap has the effect of reducing the cost of tinplate or steel, while PVC/PVC-free gasketing material can be used as an add-on, which makes metal crown caps and PVC or PVC-free gasketing materials Biodegradation can be carried out in "current landfills".

在RGC中，產生較低的生產和重量的運輸成本，進而減少了二氧化碳的排放。In RGC, lower production and weight transportation costs are incurred, which in turn reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

啤酒或汽水產業用來生產皇冠蓋的鍍錫鐵片或鋼材的厚度範圍在0.21mm – 0.24mm之間。本發明降低規格皇冠蓋使用的厚度為0.17mm – 0.19mm。一個標準的撬開式或旋開式皇冠蓋，重約2.38克，而降低規格皇冠蓋的重量約2.14克，可節省減量10％所生成的材料成本。The thickness of tinplate or steel used in the beer or soda industry to produce crown caps ranges from 0.21 mm to 0.24 mm. The thickness of the crown cap used in the present invention is 0.17 mm - 0.19 mm. A standard split or unscrew crown cap weighs about 2.38 grams, while the reduced crown cap weight is about 2.14 grams, which saves on material costs of 10% reduction.

降低規格皇冠蓋另一個可見的效益是皇冠蓋的運輸成本。重量減少涉及節省運輸燃料成本，運輸車輛的磨損和降低運輸工具的二氧化碳排放量。標準瓶蓋的傳統包裝，每箱為10,000個，如表1所示，但本發明降低規格皇冠蓋的實施例中，每箱可容納11000皇冠蓋，從而減少能量、運輸以及二氧化碳的排放。Another visible benefit of the reduced size crown cap is the shipping cost of the crown cap. Weight reduction involves saving transportation fuel costs, transporting vehicle wear and reducing vehicle carbon dioxide emissions. The conventional packaging of standard caps is 10,000 per carton, as shown in Table 1, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the reduced crown caps can accommodate 11,000 crown caps per box, thereby reducing energy, transportation, and carbon dioxide emissions.

降低規格皇冠蓋實施例的優點包括但不限於，節省生產成本、降低每個皇冠蓋單價、降低運輸成本、降低負載成本以及減少二氧化碳排放。Advantages of reduced specifications Crown cap embodiments include, but are not limited to, saving production costs, reducing unit cost per crown cap, reducing shipping costs, reducing load costs, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

除了本文上述的所有實施例外，一個適合用於每一個實施例工程、設計或行銷選擇的附加功能，就是熱敏變色油墨，稱之為熱變色油墨，如所述，例如，美國專利號6634516至Carballido，將其全部內容併入本文作為參考。這種熱變色油墨具有改變顏色的屬性，在室溫下（約210°C）是一種顏色，冷卻後又是另一種顏色，例如，在標準零售冷藏溫度40° C的顏色。在一個示範例應用中，例如，在室溫下，油墨是透明的，但在冷藏溫度下，則變得相對不 透明和可見，因此，客戶可用視覺確認約略溫度而無須觸碰容器。With the exception of all of the above-described embodiments, an additional function suitable for use in the engineering, design or marketing selection of each embodiment is a thermochromic ink, referred to as a thermochromic ink, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 6,634,516. Carballido, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. This thermochromic ink has the property of changing color, one color at room temperature (about 210 ° C), and another color after cooling, for example, a color at a standard retail refrigerating temperature of 40 ° C. In one exemplary application, for example, at room temperature, the ink is transparent, but at refrigeration temperatures it becomes relatively opaque and visible, so the customer can visually confirm the approximate temperature without touching the container.

現在回到附圖，本發明在關於刻痕線排列在相對於開瓶器組件的配置上，仔細考量了多種可替代的示範性實施例。圖30-33為本發明皇冠蓋一個示範性實施例的俯視示意圖，圖中所示有一個大致位於皇冠蓋頂部中心的開瓶器組件。 圖34-37為本發明皇冠蓋一個示範性實施例的俯視示意圖，圖中所示有一個大致位於皇冠蓋頂部中心的開瓶器組件。Turning now to the drawings, the present invention carefully considers various alternative exemplary embodiments in terms of the arrangement of the score lines relative to the bottle opener assembly. 30-33 are top plan views of an exemplary embodiment of a crown cap of the present invention showing a bottle opener assembly generally at the center of the top of the crown cap. 34-37 are top plan views of an exemplary embodiment of a crown cap of the present invention showing a bottle opener assembly generally at the center of the top of the crown cap.

來看圖 30，透過圓110的描繪，顯示開瓶器組件設置的部分。相對於圓110，凹口115A和115B被限定坐落在圓110下方的位置。易裂刻痕線120A，122A，124A和120B，122B，124B分別從頂點120A/ B靠近開瓶器組件設置部分110呈輻射狀延伸，提供一種易裂刻痕線的佈置。 頂點120/A/B與凸起凹口115A/ B基本上是共線。根據特定工程設計的選擇，在具體實施例中，本文所述的凹口115A/ B是凹面或凸面形狀。Looking at Figure 30, the portion of the bottle opener assembly is shown through the depiction of circle 110. With respect to the circle 110, the recesses 115A and 115B are defined to be positioned below the circle 110. The frangible score lines 120A, 122A, 124A and 120B, 122B, 124B extend radially from the apex 120A/B adjacent the bottle opener assembly setting portion 110, respectively, providing an arrangement of frangible score lines. The apex 120/A/B and the raised recess 115A/B are substantially collinear. Depending on the particular engineering design choice, in a particular embodiment, the notches 115A/B described herein are concave or convex in shape.

圖31說明一種可替代示範性實施例，其中刻痕線頂點220A/ B被限定在凹口115A/ B上方的位置，且大致平行於凹口115A/ B形成的虛線位置。底部的第三刻痕線228約從凹口115A/ B之間延伸至末端，但該末端並未延伸至皇冠蓋的環形裙部。Figure 31 illustrates an alternative exemplary embodiment in which the score line vertex 220A/B is defined at a location above the recess 115A/B and is generally parallel to the dashed position formed by the recess 115A/B. The bottom third score line 228 extends from between the recesses 115A/B to the end, but the end does not extend to the annular skirt of the crown cap.

圖 32說明另一個可替代示範性實施例，其中刻痕線頂點320A被限定在開瓶器組件110第一側面的位置，刻痕線頂點320B被限定在開瓶器組件110第二側面的位置，大致相對於頂點320A。圓弧形刻痕線330以圓弧形從頂點320A延伸至320B，位於開瓶器組件110和凹口115A/ B之間。32 illustrates another alternative exemplary embodiment in which the score line vertex 320A is defined at a position on a first side of the bottle opener assembly 110 and the score line vertex 320B is defined at a second side of the bottle opener assembly 110. , roughly relative to the vertex 320A. The arcuate score line 330 extends from the apex 320A to 320B in a circular arc shape between the bottle opener assembly 110 and the recess 115A/B.

圖 33說明圖32可替代實施例，進一步提供底部的第三刻痕線228。Figure 33 illustrates an alternative embodiment of Figure 32, further providing a third score line 228 at the bottom.

圖32和33所示之特徵為該開瓶器組件未使用鉚釘，但同樣用鉚釘的方式將其固定至皇冠蓋1，這在本發明的具體實施例中達到了特別的效用。32 and 33 are characterized in that the bottle opener assembly does not use rivets, but is also rivet-fastened to the crown cap 1, which achieves particular utility in embodiments of the invention.

皇冠蓋1頂部內側的中心有一凸台，以中心圓描繪於附圖中，是由製造皇冠蓋的材料向上擠壓而成。圓弧形刻痕線330環繞該凸台形成於皇冠蓋1頂部的內側，而且每條圓弧形刻痕線的兩端延伸至皇冠蓋主體的一側，以便通過一條可從瓶體拉除皇冠蓋的不可見直線形刻痕線。拉片環2與拉片3構成一體朝向其中心部分，其中嵌套於主體的桿片，在其自由端配置一鉚釘孔；且該皇冠蓋主體藉由凸台與拉環一起由鉚接固定，成為皇冠蓋主體的一部分。因此，這種配置可防止瓶內的瓶裝物受到凸台之外的污染，且拉環亦透過凸台以鉚接固定至皇冠蓋主體。彼此相應的兩凹面物圓弧形凹口分別形成於桿片間連結部分的兩側，任何的鬆動都將損及密封狀態。這種方式可確保內容物的安全與衛生。The center of the top of the top of the crown cap 1 has a boss which is depicted in the drawing by a center circle and is extruded upward from the material from which the crown cap is made. A circular arc-shaped score line 330 is formed around the boss on the inner side of the top of the crown cap 1, and both ends of each arc-shaped score line extend to one side of the crown cap body so as to be removed from the bottle body by a strip The invisible linear score line of the crown cap. The tab ring 2 and the pull tab 3 are integrally formed toward a central portion thereof, wherein the rod piece nested in the main body is provided with a rivet hole at a free end thereof; and the crown cap main body is fixed by riveting together with the tab Become part of the main body of the crown cap. Therefore, this arrangement prevents the contents of the bottle from being contaminated outside the boss, and the tab is also riveted and fixed to the crown cap body through the boss. Two concave concave arc-shaped recesses corresponding to each other are respectively formed on both sides of the joint portion between the rods, and any looseness will damage the sealed state. This approach ensures the safety and hygiene of the contents.

對應於上述圖30-33，現在讓我們看一下具有偏心拉環組件位置與各種刻痕線的實施例。圖34說明一種可替代圖30的皇冠蓋1實施例，具有一偏心的開瓶器組件位置。圖35說明一種可替代圖31的皇冠蓋1實施例，具有一偏心的開瓶器組件位置。圖36說明一種可替代圖32的皇冠蓋1實施例，具有一偏心的開瓶器組件位置。圖37說明一種可替代圖33的皇冠蓋1實施例，具有一偏心的開瓶器組件位置。在圖35和圖37中，後部的第三刻痕線229（對應於第三刻痕線228）延伸到環形裙部，終止於皇冠蓋邊緣之前。刻痕線末端在製造前業已決定，這取決於預期容器內含物的性質或其它因素。Corresponding to Figures 30-33 above, let us now look at an embodiment having an eccentric tab assembly position and various score lines. Figure 34 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 30 with an eccentric opener assembly position. Figure 35 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 31 with an eccentric opener assembly position. Figure 36 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 32 with an eccentric opener assembly position. Figure 37 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 of Figure 33 with an eccentric opener assembly position. In Figures 35 and 37, the rear third score line 229 (corresponding to the third score line 228) extends to the annular skirt, terminating in front of the crown cap edge. The end of the score line has been determined prior to manufacture, depending on the nature of the desired container contents or other factors.

圖38是描繪本發明皇冠蓋1具有開瓶器組件的俯視圖，包括鉚釘4，拉片環2，拉片3，安裝在皇冠蓋頂端的偏心位置。Figure 38 is a top plan view of the crown cap 1 of the present invention having a bottle opener assembly including a rivet 4, a tab ring 2, and a pull tab 3 mounted in an eccentric position at the top end of the crown cap.

圖39描繪圖38皇冠蓋1的部分開啟位置。藉由開瓶器組件沿易裂之第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e拉開皇冠蓋1，露出凹口115A/ B。Figure 39 depicts a partially open position of the crown cap 1 of Figure 38. The crown cap 1 is opened by the opener assembly along the frangible first score line 6d and the second score line 6e to expose the recess 115A/B.

圖40描繪圖39皇冠蓋1進一步拉開的狀態，將皇冠蓋1從容器的易裂之第一刻痕線6d中分離。第二刻痕線6f並未延伸至裙部，以保持皇冠蓋1以整體件從容器中拉除。由於開瓶器組件上的偏心位置，舌片部分499的長度大於上述實施例的相應部分。Figure 40 depicts a state in which the crown cap 1 of Figure 39 is further pulled apart, separating the crown cap 1 from the frangible first score line 6d of the container. The second score line 6f does not extend to the skirt to keep the crown cap 1 removed from the container as a unitary piece. Due to the eccentric position on the bottle opener assembly, the length of the tongue portion 499 is greater than the corresponding portion of the above embodiment.

圖41是本發明皇冠蓋示範性實施例的底部透視示意圖。有凹槽的環形裙部410從皇冠蓋頂端415向下延伸，而凸起凹部420則下延至皇冠蓋的底面內部。由裙部410和頂端415構成。Figure 41 is a bottom perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a crown cap of the present invention. The grooved annular skirt 410 extends downwardly from the crown cap tip 415, and the raised recess 420 extends down to the interior of the crown cap. It consists of a skirt 410 and a top end 415.

圖42A是本發明皇冠蓋示範性實施例的底部透視示意圖。圖42B- 42D是橫斷面輪廓側視圖，截取自圖42A皇冠蓋可替代示範性實施例的B-B線。Figure 42A is a bottom perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a crown cap of the present invention. Figures 42B-42D are cross-sectional profile side views taken from the B-B line of the alternative embodiment of the crown cover of Figure 42A.

襯墊或密封墊片固定在圖42A的皇冠蓋底部（參照圖41）。圖42B顯示一個大致為方形輪廓的襯墊。圖42C顯示一個大致為圓弧形輪廓的襯墊。圖42D顯示一個大致為V形輪廓的襯墊，V形頂點略為圓形狀。皇冠蓋襯墊可增強皇冠蓋的氣密性。該氣密性可透過所選的襯墊構造進一步提高。例如，圖42B-D中所示的襯墊構造特別適於密封酒類和香檳的瓶子，相較於啤酒用的飲料瓶有較大的直徑開口，且其內容物所需的貨架壽命也比啤酒或飲料來得長。A gasket or gasket is attached to the bottom of the crown cap of Fig. 42A (refer to Fig. 41). Figure 42B shows a pad of generally square outline. Figure 42C shows a liner having a generally circular arc profile. Figure 42D shows a pad of generally V-shaped profile with a slightly rounded apex. Crown cap liners enhance the airtightness of the crown cap. This airtightness can be further improved by the selected pad construction. For example, the pad configuration shown in Figures 42B-D is particularly suitable for sealing bottles of alcohol and champagne, having a larger diameter opening than a beer bottle, and the shelf life required for the contents is also greater than beer. Or the drink comes long.

圖43B是一個角剖面視圖，係根據揭露之圖43A所示的原理，沿皇冠蓋1俯視圖B-B線所切割的楔形物。如上所述，襯墊801被佈置在皇冠蓋1的內部底面。在該圖的實施例中，襯墊使用優選地合成軟木材料，例如，像Nepro之類。Figure 43B is an angular cross-sectional view of the wedge cut along line B-B of the crown cap 1 in accordance with the principles illustrated in Figure 43A. As described above, the gasket 801 is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the crown cap 1. In the embodiment of the figure, the liner is preferably a synthetic cork material, such as, for example, Nepro.

接著參照圖30-39，描繪於該圖中所附加的可替代實施例，將在圖44-55中敘述之。例如，參照圖31所標定的第三刻痕線228，依照「後部」配置，被置於任意指定的位置，亦即其位置或多或少位於皇冠蓋1頂部所揭露之主要第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e的相對側，除了中斷於開瓶器組件的位置外，大體上鄰近「前部」刻痕線128。圖44所示的可替代實施例，其中每一個可替代實施例根據工程或設計的選擇，提供了一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E。每一條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E分別以不同的角度從開瓶器組件的位置穿過皇冠蓋1的頂部。在可替代實施例中，該一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E可能穿過皇冠蓋1的底部（或內側）。然而在其它的實施例中，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E可能形成於皇冠蓋1的頂部和底部兩側。Referring next to Figures 30-39, an alternative embodiment to the figure is depicted, which will be described in Figures 44-55. For example, the third score line 228, which is referenced in FIG. 31, is placed at any designated position in accordance with the "rear" configuration, that is, its position is more or less located at the top of the crown cover 1 as the main first score. The opposite side of the line 6d and the second score line 6e are generally adjacent to the "front" score line 128 except for the position interrupted by the bottle opener assembly. An alternative embodiment is shown in Fig. 44, wherein each alternative embodiment provides one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E depending on engineering or design choices. Each of the rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E respectively passes through the top of the crown cap 1 from a position of the bottle opener assembly at a different angle. In an alternative embodiment, the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may pass through the bottom (or inner side) of the crown cap 1. In other embodiments, however, one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may be formed on both the top and bottom sides of the crown cap 1.

圖44（將於下文進一步論述圖49和圖50）也顯示了一條或多條彼此相對的非平行配置後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E。具體而言，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的配置可能形成相對於皇冠蓋1中心的徑向狀態，如圖所示。在其它的具體實施例中，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的配置可能是另一種形狀或不以皇冠蓋1中心為主要的配置方式。根據揭露的原則，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E包括提供了皇冠蓋組成的結構優點。例如，當施加外力於配置的一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E時，這些刻痕線會裂開或以其它的方式斷裂。更確切的說，當使用開瓶器組件從容器上開啟和拉除皇冠蓋1時，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E透過與拉片環2後部的接觸，提供有利地的定位佈置。例如，參照圖 49，接合部分（在拉片環2後部，接近一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E處，顯示為一個點或角）可配置向下壓的一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E，成為使用者拉起拉環（包括凹部11a）的正面。在這樣的實施例中，接合部分施加外力於一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的區域時，將導致這些刻痕線裂開。施加此外力於一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E，不僅更易於開啟和拉除皇冠蓋1，而且由皇冠蓋1保存在容器中的加壓氣體，還可經由這些一條或多條後部刻痕線將其初始逸散。Figure 44 (to be further discussed below in Figures 49 and 50) also shows one or more non-parallel configuration rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E opposite each other. In particular, the configuration of one or more of the rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may form a radial state relative to the center of the crown cap 1, as shown. In other embodiments, the configuration of the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may be of another shape or not centered on the crown cap 1 configuration. In accordance with the disclosed principles, one or more of the rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E include structural advantages that provide a crown cap. For example, when an external force is applied to the configured one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E, the score lines may rupture or otherwise break. More specifically, when the crown cap 1 is opened and pulled from the container using the bottle opener assembly, one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E are in contact with the rear of the pull tab ring 2, An advantageous positioning arrangement is provided. For example, referring to Figure 49, the engaging portion (shown as a point or corner near the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E at the rear of the tab ring 2) can be configured to be pressed down. Or a plurality of rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E that become the front side of the user pulling up the tab (including the recess 11a). In such an embodiment, the application of the external force to the area of the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E will cause the score lines to rupture. Applying additional force to one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E not only makes it easier to open and remove the crown cap 1, but also the pressurized gas held by the crown cap 1 in the container can also be via These one or more rear score lines will initially escape.

接著圖解說明圖44和45，另一個關於拉片環2的可替代實施例。描繪一種變體的指甲勾拉的凹部11a，其中凹部11a形成於拉片環2的底部2a，而在凹部11a位置的拉片環2頂部2b與拉片環2整個頂面2b維持共面結構。凹部11a可以提供拉片環2較薄的部分，以便在初始的開啟過程，輕易地使用指甲拉起拉片環2。在圖 45所示的皇冠蓋1前視圖中，可以看到拉片環2較薄部分所提供的缺口。有利的是，指甲 凹部11a不僅易於使用者緊貼拉片環2，還可以在拉起皇冠蓋1的開瓶器組件中，提供所使用拉片環2部分的視覺指示器。該開瓶器組件可能還包括提供一如何拉起開瓶器組件的視覺指示器，在該圖示的具體實施例中，拉片環2的頂部和/或開瓶器組件的拉片3包含一壓印或浮凸的粗體箭頭。在圖示的實施例中，該箭頭將指示使用者向後拉開拉片環2，一旦拉起向上，皇冠蓋沿著相應的刻痕線「裂開」，然後稍稍偏右，皇冠蓋1將如上文詳述的方式沿第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e裂開。Next, Figures 44 and 45 are illustrated, and another alternative embodiment of the tab ring 2 is illustrated. A variant of the nail-drawn recess 11a is depicted, wherein the recess 11a is formed in the bottom 2a of the tab ring 2, and the top 2b of the tab ring 2 at the position of the recess 11a maintains a coplanar structure with the entire top surface 2b of the tab ring 2 . The recess 11a can provide a thinner portion of the tab ring 2 so that the tab ring 2 can be easily pulled up using the nail during the initial opening process. In the front view of the crown cap 1 shown in Fig. 45, the notch provided by the thinner portion of the tab ring 2 can be seen. Favorable, nails The recess 11a not only facilitates the user's grip on the tab ring 2, but also provides a visual indicator of the portion of the tab ring 2 used in the bottle opener assembly that pulls up the crown cap 1. The bottle opener assembly may also include a visual indicator that provides a pull up of the bottle opener assembly, in the illustrated embodiment, the top of the pull tab ring 2 and/or the pull tab 3 of the bottle opener assembly contains An embossed or embossed bold arrow. In the illustrated embodiment, the arrow will instruct the user to pull the tab ring 2 back. Once pulled up, the crown cap "cracks" along the corresponding score line, and then slightly to the right, the crown cap 1 will The first score line 6d and the second score line 6e are split along the manner detailed above.

在圖示的實施例中，由拉片環2的凹陷部分提供凹部11a（相對於拉片環2的直徑），其中該凹陷部分包含一大體上近似於整個拉片環2的曲率。然而，在其他的實施例中，凹部11a的凹陷部位可能包含一相反的曲率（亦即向內），以保有拉片環2的曲率。而且在一些具體實施例中，該凹陷相對於拉片環2的其餘部分，可能包含一平滑、曲率向內的凹部11a，而非如圖44所示的「階梯狀」凹部。另外，在其他的實施例中，凹部11a不是拉片環2的凹陷部分，可能變更為包含一延伸超過拉片環2直徑的突起物。在這種實施例中，拉片環2的突起部分包含該凹部11a，可能再次包含拉片環較薄的部分。更進一步地，在其他的實施例中，凹部11a在拉片環2的其餘部分內沒有突出超過或凹陷，而是與拉片環2的其餘部分保持相同的直徑。在這種實施例中，凹部11a再次成為拉片環2較薄的部分，以便在拉起開瓶器組件時，承接使用者的指甲。In the illustrated embodiment, the recess 11a (relative to the diameter of the tab ring 2) is provided by the recessed portion of the tab ring 2, wherein the recessed portion includes a curvature that substantially approximates the entire tab ring 2. However, in other embodiments, the recessed portion of the recess 11a may include an opposite curvature (i.e., inward) to retain the curvature of the tab ring 2. Moreover, in some embodiments, the recess may include a smooth, inwardly-curved recess 11a relative to the remainder of the tab ring 2, rather than a "stepped" recess as shown in FIG. Further, in other embodiments, the recess 11a is not a recessed portion of the tab ring 2, and may be modified to include a projection that extends beyond the diameter of the tab ring 2. In such an embodiment, the raised portion of the tab ring 2 includes the recess 11a, possibly again including the thinner portion of the tab ring. Still further, in other embodiments, the recess 11a does not protrude beyond or be recessed in the remainder of the tab ring 2, but remains the same diameter as the remainder of the tab ring 2. In such an embodiment, the recess 11a again becomes the thinner portion of the tab ring 2 to receive the user's nails when the bottle opener assembly is pulled up.

圖45是圖44具體實施例的前視圖。 如圖所示，凹部11a在拉片環2的設置與皇冠蓋1的第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e有關。如上所述，凹部11a相對於拉片環2其餘部分所減少的厚度，可見於皇冠蓋1的前視圖。此外，正如本文所述，雖然第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e如圖所示形成於皇冠蓋1的外部，然這些第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e可能根據需要形成於皇冠蓋1的底部，或皇冠蓋1的頂部和內側。Figure 45 is a front elevational view of the embodiment of Figure 44. As shown, the arrangement of the recess 11a in the tab ring 2 is related to the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e of the crown cap 1. As described above, the reduced thickness of the recess 11a with respect to the rest of the tab ring 2 can be seen in the front view of the crown cap 1. Further, as described herein, although the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e are formed outside the crown cover 1 as shown, the first score line 6d and the second score line 6e may be based on It needs to be formed at the bottom of the crown cap 1, or the top and the inside of the crown cap 1.

圖46是與圖45前視圖相對的皇冠蓋1後視圖，顯示皇冠蓋1 的「背部」或「後部」。凹口115A/115B形成於皇冠蓋1的頂端17，位於拉片環2的下方，貼近凹部440（亦見於圖44）。拉片環2的凹部440被形成於拉片環2的平面上，便於在開啟過程中，加強拉片環2垂直旋轉動作越過凹口115A/115B。更確切地說，當拉片環2因為凹部440無法接觸凹口115A/115B，以致開瓶器組件無法開啟時，這種變讓使用者可以拉開開瓶器組件。Figure 46 is a rear elevational view of the crown cap 1 opposite the front view of Figure 45, showing the "back" or "rear" of the crown cap 1. A notch 115A/115B is formed at the top end 17 of the crown cap 1, below the tab ring 2, adjacent to the recess 440 (see also Figure 44). The recess 440 of the tab ring 2 is formed on the plane of the tab ring 2 to facilitate the vertical rotation of the tab ring 2 over the recess 115A/115B during opening. More specifically, this change allows the user to pull open the bottle opener assembly when the tab ring 2 is unable to contact the recess 115A/115B due to the recess 440 so that the bottle opener assembly cannot be opened.

當使用者從皇冠蓋1頂端17拉起拉片環2正面向上時（例如，在凹部11a緊貼他的指甲），凹部440的頂部終將貼緊凹口115A/115B。隨著使用者繼續從皇冠蓋1拉起拉片環2正面向上接觸到凹口115A/115B的凹部頂端，為拉片環2建立一個支點。特別是，隨著使用者繼續拉起拉片環2正面向上時，由凹口115A/115B創建的支點，讓拉片環2後方（如上所述）的接合部分能夠用力按壓向下至皇冠蓋1頂端17。因此，凹口115A/115B的確切位置為拉片環2提供了此槓桿支點，從而有利於減少使用者拉起開瓶器組件時所需的拉力。因為藉由支點可減小所需的拉力，所以源自於凹口115A/115B的凹部440間距在開瓶器組件仍餘留在未開啟的位置時，可以降低皇冠蓋1無預期的裂開，然而，這種源自於凹口115A/115B的拉片環2凹部440的間距是不需要的。When the user pulls up the tab ring 2 from the top end 17 of the crown cap 1 (e.g., the recess 11a abuts his nail), the top of the recess 440 will eventually abut the recess 115A/115B. As the user continues to pull the tab ring 2 up from the crown cap 1 to the top of the recess of the recess 115A/115B, a fulcrum is established for the tab ring 2. In particular, as the user continues to pull up the tab ring 2 in the front direction, the fulcrum created by the recess 115A/115B allows the engaging portion behind the tab ring 2 (as described above) to be pressed down to the crown cap 1 top 17. Thus, the exact location of the notches 115A/115B provides the lever fulcrum for the tab ring 2, thereby facilitating the reduction of the pulling force required by the user to pull up the bottle opener assembly. Since the required pulling force can be reduced by the fulcrum, the spacing of the recesses 440 originating from the recesses 115A/115B can reduce the undesired cracking of the crown cap 1 when the bottle opener assembly remains in the unopened position. However, such a spacing of the tabs 440 of the tab ring 2 originating from the recesses 115A/115B is not required.

圖47是圖46皇冠蓋水平旋轉90度的側視圖。在這個視圖中，它更顯而易見於一些實施例中，如上文所述，凹部11a可能在拉片環2中藉由挖取拉片環2底部2a的一部分來產生突出部分或上緣部位11c，便於拉片環2的頂端部分2b與拉片環2整個頂表面保持在共面時，可以容納指甲。Figure 47 is a side elevational view of the crown cover of Figure 46 rotated 90 degrees horizontally. In this view, it is more apparent that in some embodiments, as described above, the recess 11a may produce a projection or upper edge portion 11c in the tab ring 2 by staking a portion of the bottom 2a of the tab ring 2, When the top end portion 2b of the tab ring 2 is kept coplanar with the entire top surface of the tab ring 2, the nail can be accommodated.

圖48是圖47皇冠蓋水平旋轉180度的側視圖。凹部11a位於刻痕線6d和6e之間，延伸於皇冠蓋1的裙部7。Figure 48 is a side elevational view of the crown cover of Figure 47 rotated 180 degrees horizontally. The recess 11a is located between the score lines 6d and 6e and extends over the skirt 7 of the crown cap 1.

圖49是圖44實施例的俯視圖。後部的第三刻痕線228或其中替代其配置的228A，228B，228C，228D或228E任一條刻痕線，從拉片環2凹部440的下方向皇冠蓋1的裙部7延伸。此外，還能夠看見與拉片環2後部接合部分相關的一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的位置。如上所述，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E可能是彼此相對的徑向非平行配置，如圖所示，或者是彼此相對具有不同的取向或形狀。Figure 49 is a plan view of the embodiment of Figure 44. The rear third score line 228 or any one of the score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E in place of its configuration extends from the lower portion of the tab ring 2 recess 440 to the skirt portion 7 of the crown cap 1. In addition, the position of one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E associated with the rear engagement portion of the tab ring 2 can also be seen. As noted above, the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may be radially non-parallel configurations that are opposite one another, as shown, or have different orientations or shapes relative to one another.

圖50是圖49移除拉片環2以暴露皇冠蓋1頂端17的皇冠蓋俯視圖。在此實施例中，顯示了第一刻痕線6d，第二刻痕線6e和6f橫越皇冠蓋1的頂端17的單一、連續刻痕，以致圓弧刻痕線330繞過拉片環2的位置10以及鉚釘位置10的後面，以支承拉片環2至皇冠蓋1。在圖50的具體例中，位置10大體上在頂端17的中心。在圖示的實施例中，後部刻痕線228或替代其配置之228A，228B，228C，228D或228E其中任一條刻痕線，從弧形部分之圓弧形刻痕線330向裙部7延伸，並連接至圓弧形刻痕線330。然而，在其它的實施例中，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E不需要連接的圓弧形刻痕線330的圓弧形部份。凹口115A位於部分圓弧形刻痕線330的上部，後部刻痕線228的一側，而凹部115B則位於部分圓弧形刻痕線330的上方，始於凹口115A後部刻痕線228的另一側。Figure 50 is a top plan view of the crown cap of Figure 49 with the tab ring 2 removed to expose the top end 17 of the crown cap 1. In this embodiment, a first score line 6d is shown, the second score line 6e and 6f traversing a single, continuous score of the top end 17 of the crown cap 1 such that the arc score line 330 bypasses the tab loop The position 10 of 2 and the rear of the rivet position 10 support the tab ring 2 to the crown cover 1. In the particular example of FIG. 50, position 10 is generally at the center of tip end 17. In the illustrated embodiment, the rear score line 228 or any one of the 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E configurations thereof, from the arcuate score line 330 of the curved portion to the skirt 7 Extend and connect to the arcuate score line 330. However, in other embodiments, the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E do not require the arcuate portion of the arcuate score line 330 to be joined. The recess 115A is located at an upper portion of the partial arc-shaped score line 330, one side of the rear score line 228, and the recess 115B is located above the portion of the circular arc-shaped score line 330, starting from the rear score line 228 of the recess 115A. The other side.

圖44（進一步論述圖49和50）顯示了一條或多條彼此相對的非平行配置後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E。具體而言，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的配置可能形成相對於皇冠蓋1中心的徑向狀態，如圖所示。在其它的具體實施例中，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的配置可能是另一種形狀或不以皇冠蓋1中心為主的排列方式。Figure 44 (further discussing Figures 49 and 50) shows one or more non-parallel configuration rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E opposite each other. In particular, the configuration of one or more of the rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may form a radial state relative to the center of the crown cap 1, as shown. In other embodiments, the configuration of the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may be another shape or an arrangement that is not centered on the crown cap 1.

根據揭露的原則，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E包含提供皇冠蓋組成結構的優點。例如，當施加外力於配置的一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E時，這些刻痕線會裂開或以其它的方式斷裂。更確切的說，當開瓶器組件被用來開啟和移除瓶體或容器上的皇冠蓋1時，一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E藉由與拉片環2後部的接觸，提供有利地的定位佈置。例如，參照圖 49，接合部分（在拉片環2後部，接近一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E處，顯示為一個點或角）可配置向下壓的一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E，成為使用者拉起拉環（包括凹部11a）的正面。在這樣的實施例中，接合部分施加外力於一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的區域時，將導致這些刻痕線裂開。施加此外力於一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E，不僅更易於開啟和拉除皇冠蓋1，而且由皇冠蓋1保存在容器中的加壓氣體，還可經由這些一條或多條後部刻痕線將其初始逸散。In accordance with the disclosed principles, one or more of the rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E include the advantages of providing a crown cap composition. For example, when an external force is applied to the configured one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E, the score lines may rupture or otherwise break. More specifically, when the bottle opener assembly is used to open and remove the crown cap 1 on the bottle or container, one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E are used with the pull tab The contact at the rear of the ring 2 provides an advantageous positioning arrangement. For example, referring to Figure 49, the engaging portion (shown as a point or corner near the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E at the rear of the tab ring 2) can be configured to be pressed down. Or a plurality of rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E that become the front side of the user pulling up the tab (including the recess 11a). In such an embodiment, the application of the external force to the area of the one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E will cause the score lines to rupture. Applying additional force to one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E not only makes it easier to open and remove the crown cap 1, but also the pressurized gas held by the crown cap 1 in the container can also be via These one or more rear score lines will initially escape.

圖51是圖44可替代皇冠蓋實施例的透視頂視圖。拉片環2連結位置4是始於中心位置10a的偏離中心。相較於後部的第三刻痕線229，連結位置4比圖44中拉片環2的連結位置更接近裙部7。各種可替代後部的第三刻痕線229的配置，被標示為229A，229B，229C，229D，和229E，其中任一條可替代的配置皆可依據工程設計的選擇實現，至於一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E可依上述，以同樣的方式實現之。藉由拉片環2偏離中心提供的連結位置4，根據揭露原則製造這類型皇冠蓋1的實施例，在開啟和移除皇冠蓋1的過程中，可能為裂開皇冠蓋1提供了附加的槓桿作用。具體而言，一旦皇冠蓋1經由拉起拉片環2的正面而初始裂開，則使用者可開始拉動拉片環2向前並略微向右（按粗體箭頭的視覺標示）。Figure 51 is a perspective top view of the alternative embodiment of the crown cap of Figure 44. The tab ring 2 joint position 4 is an off center from the center position 10a. The joint position 4 is closer to the skirt 7 than the joint position of the tab ring 2 in Fig. 44 compared to the third score line 229 at the rear. The arrangement of various alternative third score lines 229 is designated 229A, 229B, 229C, 229D, and 229E, and any alternative configuration can be implemented according to the choice of engineering design, as for one or more rear parts. The score line 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E can be implemented in the same manner as described above. By making the tab ring 2 off-center from the joint position 4, an embodiment of this type of crown cap 1 is made according to the disclosure principle, which may provide additional for splitting the crown cap 1 during opening and removal of the crown cap 1. Leverage. Specifically, once the crown cap 1 is initially split by pulling up the front side of the tab ring 2, the user can begin pulling the tab ring 2 forward and slightly to the right (indicated by the bold arrow).

藉由定位讓連結部份4的偏離中心位置朝向皇冠蓋1的「後部」（參考拉片環2）以建立附加的槓桿作用，便於使用者在拉起拉片環2時，能夠朝向皇冠蓋1正面。因此，附加的槓桿作用讓使用者在開啟瓶蓋的過程中，更易於裂開第一刻痕線6d，第二刻痕線6e和6f。因此，不能任意移動連結位置4，而是要實現皇冠蓋1在裂開過程中，增加槓桿作用朝向皇冠蓋1的後部。此外，連結位置4移動的距離，可根據上述增加所需的槓桿作用來選擇偏離中心。例如，如果使用一個較厚的皇冠蓋1，則需要較多的撕裂槓桿作用才能輕易地開啟瓶蓋。當然，不須考量皇冠蓋1的厚度。同樣地，除其他因素外，數量，長度和一條或多條後部刻痕線228A，228B，228C，228D或228E的配置，亦可根據皇冠蓋1的厚度選定之。By positioning the off-center position of the connecting portion 4 toward the "rear" of the crown cap 1 (refer to the tab ring 2) to establish an additional leverage, the user can easily face the crown cap when pulling up the tab ring 2 1 front. Therefore, the additional leverage allows the user to more easily split the first score line 6d, the second score line 6e and 6f during the opening of the bottle cap. Therefore, the joint position 4 cannot be arbitrarily moved, but the crown cover 1 is required to increase the leverage toward the rear of the crown cover 1 during the splitting process. Further, the distance at which the joint position 4 is moved can be selected from the center according to the leverage required for the above increase. For example, if a thicker crown cap 1 is used, more tearing leverage is required to easily open the cap. Of course, it is not necessary to consider the thickness of the crown cover 1. Similarly, the number, length, and configuration of one or more rear score lines 228A, 228B, 228C, 228D or 228E may be selected based on the thickness of the crown cap 1, among other factors.

圖52是圖51具體實施例的俯視圖。由於連結位置4是從中心位置10a偏移，較圖41的實施例更接近裙部7。因此，構成一條或多條後部刻痕線229A，229B，229C，229D或229E的長度或可小於第三刻痕線228的長度，並且分別替代上文所述的配置。當然，連結位置4的偏離中心位置，也可能使得一條或多條後部刻痕線229A，229B，229C，229D或229E的長度和/或配置和/或形狀無需變更。Figure 52 is a top plan view of the embodiment of Figure 51. Since the joint position 4 is offset from the center position 10a, it is closer to the skirt 7 than the embodiment of FIG. Thus, the length of one or more of the rear score lines 229A, 229B, 229C, 229D or 229E may be less than the length of the third score line 228 and may be substituted for the configurations described above, respectively. Of course, the off-center position of the joint location 4 may also result in no change in the length and/or configuration and/or shape of the one or more rear score lines 229A, 229B, 229C, 229D or 229E.

圖53是圖52實施例的俯視圖，藉由移除拉片環來揭示其底部的特徵。如上所述，開瓶器組件連結位置10偏離中心位置10a。因此，為了從偏離中心位置10 a延伸至裙部7，主第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e的長度要長於實施例中具有中心位置開瓶器組件的相應刻痕線。後部的第三刻痕線229及其替代配置229A，229B ，229C，229D和229E的長度短於中心位置實施例的相應刻痕線。一條或多條後部刻痕線229A，229B，229C，229D或229E在部分圓弧形刻痕線330的頂點120連接至部分圓弧形刻痕線330，但是，就像上文具有中心位置的實施例所述，連接至圓弧形刻痕線330是不需要的。Figure 53 is a top plan view of the embodiment of Figure 52, revealing features of the bottom portion thereof by removing the tab ring. As described above, the bottle opener assembly joint position 10 is offset from the center position 10a. Therefore, in order to extend from the off center position 10a to the skirt 7, the lengths of the main first score line 6d and the second score line 6e are longer than the corresponding score lines of the embodiment having the center position opener assembly. The length of the rear third score line 229 and its alternative configurations 229A, 229B, 229C, 229D and 229E are shorter than the corresponding score lines of the central position embodiment. One or more rear score lines 229A, 229B, 229C, 229D or 229E are joined to the partial arc-shaped score line 330 at the apex 120 of the partial arc-shaped score line 330, but, like the center position above As described in the embodiment, attachment to the arcuate score line 330 is not required.

有利地，圓弧形刻痕線330包含連續延伸環繞位置10的刻痕線6d和6e，使其更易於拉開皇冠蓋1。更確切地說，在使用者依上述方式拉起拉片環3，導致皇冠蓋1的頂端17出現初始裂紋後，刻痕線的圓弧形刻痕線330讓靠近位置10的皇冠蓋材料更容易裂開，然後，使用者拉開拉片環3朝向皇冠蓋1的正面，直至皇冠蓋從容器中移除，而圓弧形刻痕線330亦有助於裂開第一刻痕線6d和第二刻痕線6e，從而使皇冠蓋1拉開和移除的過程更為容易。Advantageously, the circular arc-shaped score line 330 comprises score lines 6d and 6e extending continuously around the position 10, making it easier to pull the crown cover 1 apart. More specifically, after the user pulls up the tab ring 3 in the above manner, causing the initial crack of the top end 17 of the crown cap 1, the arc-shaped score line 330 of the score line makes the crown cap material closer to the position 10 more Easy to split, then the user pulls the tab ring 3 toward the front of the crown cap 1 until the crown cap is removed from the container, and the arc-shaped score line 330 also helps to split the first score line 6d And the second score line 6e, thereby making the process of pulling and removing the crown cap 1 easier.

連結開瓶器組件至皇冠蓋1的實施例，已描述了具有中心位置及偏離中心位置的案例，現在讓我們回頭討論連結開瓶器組件至皇冠蓋1的可替代實施例。使用鉚釘4連接拉片環至皇冠蓋的案例，上文已有一具體例說明之。An example of joining the bottle opener assembly to the crown cap 1 has been described with a central position and an off center position. Let us now turn back to an alternative embodiment of joining the bottle opener assembly to the crown cap 1. The case of using a rivet 4 to connect the tab ring to the crown cap has been described above in a specific example.

圖54是皇冠蓋1可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖，其中拉片環2未使用鉚釘固定至皇冠蓋1。凸台542取代鉚釘4在皇冠蓋1的頂端17構成一體，例如，從底部向上壓皇冠蓋材料，在頂端17上創建一個凹面的形狀。拉片環2設置在凸台542上。然後，將凸台542進一步平坦化，同時散開凸台542的頂部，以構成一個完整的凸桿543及構成大體上平整的頂部 544，使得拉片環2得以佈置在桿543上。散開的凸台542構成整體的頂部544，結果形成一突出物或邊緣546，無需使用鉚釘，即可固定拉片環2於凸桿543上。Figure 54 is a cross-sectional side view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap 1 in which the tab ring 2 is not secured to the crown cap 1 using rivets. The boss 542 is formed integrally with the rivet 4 at the top end 17 of the crown cap 1, for example, pressing the crown cap material upward from the bottom to create a concave shape on the tip end 17. The tab ring 2 is disposed on the boss 542. The boss 542 is then further planarized while the top of the boss 542 is spread to form a complete male 543 and a generally flat top 544 such that the pull tab ring 2 is disposed on the stem 543. The diffused boss 542 forms an integral top portion 544, resulting in a projection or edge 546 that secures the tab ring 2 to the lug 543 without the use of rivets.

圖55是圖54皇冠蓋可替代實施例的橫斷面側視圖。在圖54中，頂部 544大體上位於頂端17的中心10。在圖55中，頂部 544位於頂端17的偏離中心10a。其他無鉚釘連接裝置的相關說明，與圖 54上文所述是相同的。請注意，圖55並未清楚顯示拉片環2。Figure 55 is a cross-sectional side view of an alternative embodiment of the crown cap of Figure 54. In Figure 54, the top portion 544 is generally located at the center 10 of the top end 17. In Fig. 55, the top portion 544 is located at the off center 10a of the top end 17. Other related descriptions of the rivetless connection device are the same as those described above with reference to Fig. 54. Please note that the pull tab ring 2 is not clearly shown in FIG.

接著我們討論另一個具有本發明開瓶器組件的可替代皇冠蓋示範性具體例。圖56-66顯示了一個可替代實施例，其中開瓶器組件的拉片3與形成皇冠蓋1材料構成一體，對照以鉚釘4固定在皇冠蓋1拉片環。圖56-66的示範性具體例為本發明的開瓶器組件提供一個無鉚釘的替代實施例。本發明皇冠蓋特定的示範性具體例提供了一種開瓶器組件，而其他的實施例則提供了一個整合式的開瓶器結構。本文所用的術語「開瓶器」，旨在涵蓋任一種有助於開啟本發明皇冠蓋的結構。Next, we discuss another exemplary embodiment of an alternative crown cap having the bottle opener assembly of the present invention. Figures 56-66 show an alternative embodiment in which the pull tab 3 of the bottle opener assembly is integral with the material forming the crown cap 1 and is secured to the crown cap 1 tab ring by rivets 4. An exemplary embodiment of Figures 56-66 provides an alternate embodiment of the bottle opener assembly of the present invention without rivets. A particular exemplary embodiment of the crown cap of the present invention provides a bottle opener assembly, while other embodiments provide an integrated bottle opener structure. The term "opener" as used herein is intended to encompass any structure that facilitates opening the crown cap of the present invention.

圖56是說明另一個容器皇冠蓋的替代實施例，具有整合式開瓶器組件的等軸俯視圖。環形槽120是表面4和皇冠蓋1頂端17之間所形成的凹部。表面4和頂端17基本上是共面的。在此實施例中，當凹槽 120在頂端17形成凹部狀時，該凹槽 120之中間形成一替代鉚釘4的中央高台表面4。拉片環2被佈置於凹槽120內。拉片3從裙部7和頂端17延伸朝向中央高台表面4，使得拉片環2連同拉片3構成一體，並置於凹槽120。刻痕線或切割線6i，6j和6k限定拉片3的橫向邊緣，而且當皇冠蓋1藉由拉片3與拉片環2開啟時，會沿著所述的刻痕線加快撕裂皇冠蓋材料。Figure 56 is an isometric top view of an alternative embodiment of a crown cap of another container with an integrated bottle opener assembly. The annular groove 120 is a recess formed between the surface 4 and the top end 17 of the crown cap 1. Surface 4 and tip 17 are substantially coplanar. In this embodiment, when the recess 120 is formed in the shape of a recess at the top end 17, a central elevated surface 4 of the substitute rivet 4 is formed in the middle of the recess 120. The tab ring 2 is disposed within the recess 120. The pull tab 3 extends from the skirt 7 and the top end 17 towards the central elevated surface 4 such that the tab ring 2 is integral with the pull tab 3 and is placed in the recess 120. The score lines or cut lines 6i, 6j and 6k define the lateral edges of the pull tab 3, and when the crown cover 1 is opened by the pull tab 3 and the pull tab ring 2, the tear crown is accelerated along the score line Cover material.

圖57是圖解說明圖56所示之皇冠蓋側視圖。 刻痕線6i下傾至裙部7的末端16。刻痕線6j下傾至裙部7，但在到達末端16之前折彎，沿著裙部7橫移。Figure 57 is a side elevational view of the crown cap illustrated in Figure 56. The score line 6i is lowered down to the end 16 of the skirt 7. The score line 6j is tilted down to the skirt 7, but is bent before reaching the end 16 and traversing along the skirt 7.

圖58是圖解說明圖57所示之皇冠蓋水平旋轉180度的側視圖。由此觀點可知，刻痕線6i，6j和6k是不可見的，因為它們在皇冠蓋1的另一側。Figure 58 is a side view illustrating the crown cover shown in Figure 57 rotated 180 degrees horizontally. From this point of view, the score lines 6i, 6j and 6k are invisible because they are on the other side of the crown cap 1.

圖59是圖解說明圖58所示之皇冠蓋逆時針水平旋轉90度的側視圖。在此取向中，刻痕線6j和6k線出現在皇冠蓋1的左側。Figure 59 is a side view illustrating the crown cover shown in Figure 58 rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. In this orientation, the score lines 6j and 6k appear on the left side of the crown cap 1.

圖60是圖解說明圖59所示之皇冠蓋逆時針水平旋轉180度的側視圖。在此取向中，刻痕線6i出現在皇冠蓋1的右側。Figure 60 is a side view illustrating the crown cover shown in Figure 59 rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise. In this orientation, the score line 6i appears on the right side of the crown cap 1.

圖61是圖解說明圖56所示之皇冠蓋的俯視示意圖。拉片環2提供一凹部11a，讓使用者能將指甲***凹槽120以貼緊凹部11a。Figure 61 is a top plan view illustrating the crown cap shown in Figure 56. The tab ring 2 is provided with a recess 11a for the user to insert the nail into the recess 120 to abut the recess 11a.

圖62是圖解說明圖56所示之皇冠蓋底部的仰視圖。 在特定的替代實施例中，刻痕線6i，6j和6k被蝕刻或形成於皇冠蓋1的底面17a，所以使用者從頂端17是看不到這些刻痕線的。Figure 62 is a bottom plan view illustrating the bottom of the crown cap shown in Figure 56. In a particular alternative embodiment, the score lines 6i, 6j and 6k are etched or formed on the bottom surface 17a of the crown cap 1, so that the user does not see the score lines from the top end 17.

圖63是圖解說明圖56所示中間開口位置具有一拉環的皇冠蓋等軸俯視圖。當拉片環2被拉出凹槽120時，拉片3沿著刻痕線6i和6j撕裂並開啟皇冠蓋1。為了從容器中完整移除皇冠蓋1，拉片環2被拉起朝向拉片3，以便沿著刻痕線6i和6j撕裂皇冠蓋材料，直到刻痕線6i到達末端16，裂開皇冠蓋1。繼續往側向或橫向拉動，讓皇冠蓋1沿刻痕線6j和6k持續裂開，以便從容器中拉開皇冠蓋1的整體件。Figure 63 is an isometric top view of a crown cap illustrating a pull ring at the intermediate opening position shown in Figure 56. When the tab ring 2 is pulled out of the recess 120, the tab 3 tears along the score lines 6i and 6j and opens the crown cap 1. In order to completely remove the crown cap 1 from the container, the tab ring 2 is pulled up toward the tab 3 to tear the crown cap material along the score lines 6i and 6j until the score line 6i reaches the end 16, splitting the crown Cover 1. Continuing to pull laterally or laterally, the crown cap 1 continues to crack along the score lines 6j and 6k to pull the integral piece of the crown cap 1 from the container.

圖64是圖解說明圖63所示中間開口位置具有一拉環的皇冠蓋側視圖。拉片3和拉片環2互為一體，因此，當拉片環2被拉起時，拉片3亦被拉起，導致皇冠蓋1裂開。Figure 64 is a side elevational view of the crown cap illustrating a pull tab in the intermediate opening position shown in Figure 63. The pull tab 3 and the pull tab ring 2 are integrated with each other, so that when the pull tab ring 2 is pulled up, the pull tab 3 is also pulled up, causing the crown cap 1 to be split.
