Definitions
- the present invention falls within the technical field of hinged closures and refers in particular to an anti-splash hinged closing cap.
- caps for receptacle those formed by the hinging of two parts are commonly known, a lower part provided with the appropriate means for its coupling on the bottle neck and an upper part, cover or lid that occupies a closed or open position, allowing a user to take the fluid contained in the receptacle without the need to completely remove the cap.
- the Spanish patent ES2751171 refers to a cap for containers comprising a cylindrical body formed by the joint between two superimposing parts, a lower part provided with gripping means for its retention in the neck of the container, and an upper area with an upper base attached to a perimeter wall.
- the perimeter wall comprises a visor to allow the opening of the lid, where the visor comprises a flap arranged transversely to it and in correspondence with a recess located at the upper edge of the lower part.
- Said flap comprises, on an inner surface, a cord arranged transversely to the axial axis of the cap, to grip the upper part to the neck of the container.
- the opening hinge is made up of two parallel connecting strips that link the top lid with the bottom ring, as well as a protrusion arranged between the strips, and a projection that allows an opening of the lid greater than 180°.
- the object of the invention consists of an anti-splash hinged closing cap that presents a modification in the hinging of the closing cover, which is designed to reduce the splashes of water that sometimes occur when the cap cover is closed.
- the cap which can be attached to the neck of a container, comprises a lower ring intended to be retained in a neck of the container, an upper lid, intended to temporarily cover a pouring hole of the container to seal it, and a hinging element that connects the lid to the ring in a hinged manner.
- the hinging element comprises at least two binding strips, and a protrusion located between the binding strips.
- a protrusion or tab that starts from an outer perimeter edge of the lid allows the lid to be opened more than 180°. This tab acts as a pivot point of the hinge when cooperating with the protrusion and causes a clip with the protrusion indicating the user that the lid has been opened correctly.
- the modification of the hinge consists of a defined cleft at the lower end of the protrusion, more specifically in the area intended to be in contact with the projection when the lid is open at an angle of approximately 180°.
- the cleft allows the lid to remain open at that angle, while reducing the tension generated at the lever point, so that the folding of the lid for its closing does not occur abruptly but smoothly, thus avoiding splashes of the liquid house inside the container.
- the projection ledge comes out the hole and causes a warning click to the user not to continue folding the lid.
- FIG. 1 Shows a first rear top perspective view of the anti-splash hinged closing cap of the invention, in a closed arrangement.
- FIG. 2 Shows a rear view of the cap.
- FIG. 3 Shows a front top perspective view of the cap.
- FIG. 4 Shows a front bottom perspective view of the cap.
- FIG. 5 Shows a bottom rear perspective view of the cap in an open arrangement.
- FIG. 6 Shows a detail of the cap in FIG. 5 .
- FIG. 7 Shows a side view of a cross section of the cap in FIG. 5 , in which the lid is in a first opening position at 180°.
- FIG. 8 Shows a side view of a cross section of the cap in FIG. 5 , in which the lid is in a first opening position at 210°.
- the anti-splash hinged closing cap for pouring holes for containers holding liquids described is intended to be attached to the neck of a container.
- the cap shown in FIG. 1 , consists of a lower ring ( 1 ), intended to be retained in the neck of the container, and an upper lid ( 2 ), intended to cover the pouring holes of the container to seal it.
- a hinging element connects the lid ( 2 ) with the ring ( 1 ) in a hinged manner.
- the ring ( 1 ) comprises gripping means for its retention to the neck, when opening and closing the cap.
- the lid ( 2 ) comprises an upper base ( 3 ) attached to a lower perimeter wall ( 4 ). From an edge of the perimeter wall ( 4 ) projects a transversal visor ( 5 ) to allow the opening and closing of the lid ( 2 ) by manual operation.
- the upper base ( 3 ) also includes a cylindrical skirt ( 6 ) emerging from its inner face and sized for its insertion inside the neck of the receptacle to improve the tightness of the closure.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the rear part of the cap, where the hinging element between the lid ( 2 ) and ring ( 1 ) is arranged.
- the hinging element between the lid ( 2 ) and ring ( 1 ) is arranged in a sector of the perimeter wall ( 4 ) diametrically opposed to that from which the visor projects ( 5 ).
- These binding strips ( 8 ) have an upper end, attached to the lid ( 2 ), and a lower end, attached to the ring ( 1 ).
- the lid ( 2 ) comprises two recesses ( 9 ) located on the outer perimeter edge of its upper base ( 3 ) and a pair of perimeter incisions ( 10 ) in these recesses ( 9 ).
- the perimeter incisions ( 10 ) define a flexible junction with the respective upper ends of each of the binding strips ( 8 ), which are also configured to provide a continuous perimeter edge of the upper base ( 4 ). This feature allows the cap to be centered in encapsulation heads, thus facilitating packaging manufacture.
- the upper base ( 3 ) has a tab ( 11 ), located between the recesses ( 9 ), which allows the cap to open more than 180°.
- the ring ( 1 ) comprises a protrusion ( 12 ) arranged between the binding strips ( 8 ), intended to cooperate with the tab ( 11 ) when the lid ( 2 ) is in its open position, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
- This tab ( 11 ) and protrusion ( 12 ) configuration allows a lid opening ( 2 ) greater than 180°. Said tab ( 11 ) also serves as a tipping point for the hinge. In addition, said tab ( 11 ) causes a “clip” when interacting with the protrusion ( 12 ), which serves as a warning to the user indicating that a correct opening has occurred.
- the protrusion ( 12 ) has, on its outer face, a cleft ( 13 ) defined in its lowest sector, more specifically in the area intended to be in contact with the tab ( 11 ) when the lid ( 2 ) is open at an angle of approximately 180°, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 .
- the outermost end of the protrusion ( 12 ) is housed inside said cleft ( 13 ), helping to reduce the tension generated in the binding strips ( 8 ).
- the ring ( 1 ) is, before the first opening of the cap, connected to the lid ( 2 ) by frangible bridges ( 14 ) which are intended to break during the first opening of the lid ( 2 ). These frangible bridges ( 14 ) make up tamper-evident seals and connect the top edge of the ring ( 1 ) and the bottom edge of the perimeter wall ( 4 ).
