TAPÓN PARA BOTELLAS CON BOQUILLA INCORPORADA BOTTLE CAP WITH INCORPORATED NOZZLE
D E S C R I P C I Ó ND E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un tapón de cierre para botellas, del tipo de los que incorporan una boquilla en el propio tapón, para facilitar el consumo del contenido de la botella y que consecuentemente incorporan una tapa para obturar dicha boquilla, tapón que ha sido concebido y estructurado en orden a conseguir, fundamentalmente una mayor comodidad durante dicho consumo del contenido de la botella, sin apenas influencia negativa al respecto por parte de la tapa, contando el tapón con unos medios de precinto de la botella, que aseguren la inviolabilidad de su contenido y un cierre estanco tras su primera apertura, asi como la posibilidad de transportar la botella suspendida del tapón, por ejemplo colgada del cinturón o de cualquier otro elemento adecuado.The present invention relates to a closure cap for bottles, of the type that incorporate a nozzle into the cap itself, to facilitate the consumption of the contents of the bottle and consequently incorporate a cap to seal said nozzle, a cap that has been conceived and structured in order to achieve, essentially greater comfort during said consumption of the contents of the bottle, with hardly any negative influence on the part by the lid, counting the cap with means of sealing the bottle, which ensure the inviolability of its contents and a tight seal after its first opening, as well as the possibility of transporting the bottle suspended from the cap, for example hanging from the belt or any other suitable element.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Existe una gran proliferación de tapones para botellas que incorporan una tetina que permite beber directamente a través del tapón. Estas tetinas están generalmente estructuradas según una protuberancia, generalmente cilindrica, que constituye una especie de boquilla, prolongación del cuerpo del tapón, a través de la cual resulta fácil, y sencillo beber el liquido de la botella. La citada boquilla incorpora en su extremo libre un casquillo o tapón que puede desplazarse abriendo o cerrando el orificio de la boquilla y, en consecuencia, permitiendo o no el paso de liquido.There is a large proliferation of bottle caps that incorporate a nipple that allows drinking directly through the cap. These teats are generally structured according to a protuberance, generally cylindrical, which constitutes a kind of nozzle, prolonging the body of the cap, through which it is easy, and simple to drink the liquid from the bottle. Said nozzle incorporates at its free end a bushing or plug that can be moved by opening or closing the nozzle hole and, in consequence, allowing or not the passage of liquid.
Estos tapones presentan como problema fundamental que el citado casquillo de cierre puede llegar a desprenderse del cuerpo base del tapón, lo que supone a su vez un riesgo de que el usuario pueda llegar a tragarlo.These plugs present as a fundamental problem that the aforementioned closing sleeve can become detached from the base body of the cap, which in turn poses a risk that the user may swallow it.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El tapón que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, además de ofrecer otra serie de ventajas complementarias que irán evidenciándose a lo largo de la presente descripción.The cap proposed by the invention fully and satisfactorily resolves the above-mentioned problem, in addition to offering another series of complementary advantages that will be evident throughout this description.
Para ello, el tapón que se preconiza y que está constituido a partir de un cuerpo base, acoplable mediante rosca al cuello de la botella, y una tapa abisagrada al citado cuerpo, presenta como especial particularidad que la boquilla ocupa sobre la base superior y libre del citado cuerpo una posición acusadamente descentrada, concretamente en oposición a la charnela de abisagramiento de dicho cuerpo base a la tapa. A su vez, la tapa que es acoplable a presión sobre el cuerpo, presenta una profundidad adecuada como para recibir en su seno a la citada boquilla, y está provista en su fondo de un obturador, igualmente descentrado, capaz de establecer un cierre hermético sobre la embocadura de la boquilla en posición de cierre del conjunto.For this, the cap that is recommended and that is constituted from a base body, attachable by thread to the neck of the bottle, and a lid hinged to said body, presents as a special feature that the nozzle occupies on the upper and free base of the aforementioned body a markedly off-center position, specifically in opposition to the hinged hinge of said base body to the lid. In turn, the cover that is snap-in on the body, has a suitable depth to receive the said nozzle inside it, and is provided at the bottom of a shutter, equally offset, capable of establishing a tight seal on the mouthpiece of the nozzle in the closed position of the assembly.
Este obturador, de configuración anular, presenta un labio perimetral interno de enclavamiento machihembrado sobre un reborde superior y externo de la boquilla, produciéndose un cierre, por efecto clip, a lo largo de todo el perímetro de la boquilla.This shutter, with an annular configuration, has a tongue and groove interlocking internal perimeter lip on an upper and outer flange of the nozzle, producing a closure, by clip effect, along the entire perimeter of the nozzle.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención con el citado obturador colabora una junta multicapa que contribuye a mejorar la estanqueidad del tapón en posición de cierre y a garantizar la inviolabilidad del conjunto. Esta junta esta constituida básicamente por un disco de un material esponjoso y una lámina de aluminio, asi como diversas capas de plásticos adhesivos, estando previsto que en la linea de embotellado se efectúe un termosellado de la junta de manera que la lámina de aluminio queda sellada sobre la boquilla, mientras que la capa de material esponjosa queda adherida a la base del obturador de la tapa.In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention with said shutter, a multilayer gasket collaborates that contributes to improving the sealing of the plug in the closed position and to guarantee the inviolability of the assembly. This gasket is basically constituted by a disc of a spongy material and an aluminum foil, as well as various layers of adhesive plastics, being provided that in the bottling line a heat sealing of the gasket is carried out so that the aluminum foil is sealed on the nozzle, while the layer of spongy material is adhered to the base of the lid plug.
De esta manera, cuando se abre la botella por primera vez, la junta se desgarra, quedando la capa de material esponjoso adherida a la base del obturador de la tapa y la lámina de aluminio sobre el cuello de la boquilla, constituyendo un elemento de sellado que indica que la botella no ha sido utilizada. A la inviolabilidad de la botella contribuye también el típico anillo o banda de precinto que se une al cuerpo del tapón mediante tabiques desgarrables que impiden el desenroscado del tapón sin rotura del precinto.In this way, when the bottle is opened for the first time, the gasket is torn, leaving the layer of spongy material adhered to the base of the lid shutter and the aluminum foil on the neck of the nozzle, constituting a sealing element which indicates that the bottle has not been used. To the inviolability of the bottle also contributes the typical ring or band of seal that is attached to the body of the cap by tear-off partitions that prevent unscrewing the cap without breaking the seal.
En cuanto a la capa de material esponjoso que queda adherida al fondo del obturador, está destinada a mejorar la hermeticidad del tapón en la posición de cierre, en base a que cuando la tapa se abate sobre el cuerpo base la capa de material esponjoso quedará apretada contra la embocadura de la boquilla, impidiendo la salida de liquido. En una configuración más sencilla la junta podría estar constituida únicamente por la lámina de aluminio, que garantizarla igualmente la inviolabilidad de la botella pero, en este caso, la estanqueidad del tapón se conseguirla exclusivamente a través del apriete que el obturador realizará sobre la pared externa de la boquilla.As for the layer of spongy material that adheres to the bottom of the plug, it is intended to improve the tightness of the plug in the closed position, on the basis that when the lid is folded on the base body the layer of spongy material will be tight against the mouthpiece of the nozzle, preventing the outflow of liquid. In a simpler configuration, the gasket could be constituted solely by the aluminum foil, which would also guarantee the inviolability of the bottle but, in this case, the tightness of the cap will be achieved exclusively through the tightening that the shutter will make on the external wall of the nozzle.
En cuanto a la charnela de unión articulada de la tapa al cuerpo base, se ha previsto que sea del tipo de las que adoptan dos posiciones estables, a 180°, una de cierre y otra de apertura, con la finalidad de que dicha tapa no estorbe en oposición de apertura durante la maniobra de consumo de la bebida.As for the hinged joint hinge from the lid to the base body, it is intended to be of the type that adopts two stable positions, at 180 °, one of closing and the other of opening, in order that said lid does not hinders in opening opposition during the drink consumption maneuver.
Finalmente y de acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, se ha previsto que sobre la citada tapa se monte machihembradamente un sobretapa, en la que participa un anillo, abatible, actuante como medio sustentador de la botella con su complementario tapón.Finally, and in accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that an overcap is tongue and groove mounted on said lid, in which a ring, folding, acting as a support means of the bottle with its complementary cap, is involved.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el tapón que se preconiza está constituido a partir de un cuerpo base (1), que configura una especie de cazoleta cilindrica, con una rosca interior (2) para su fijación al gollete de la botella, opcionalmente con un faldón anular e interno (3) que mejore la estanqueidad de dicho acoplamiento, y con un precinto de garantía (4) dotado de los clásicos nervios interiores (5) para fijación al también clásico resalte o reborde del cuello de la botella, precintoIn view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the cap that is recommended is constituted from a base body (1), which configures a kind of cylindrical cup, with an internal thread (2) for its attachment to the bottle neck , optionally with an annular and internal skirt (3) to improve the tightness of said coupling, and with a guarantee seal (4) equipped with the classic inner ribs (5) for fixing to the also classic protrusion or flange of the neck of the bottle, seal
(4) relacionado con el cuerpo (1) a través de una serie de debilitamientos (6) que, no interfiriendo en el acoplamiento mediante rosca del tapón a la botella, provocan la rotura del precinto cuando se pretende su desenroscamiento .(4) related to the body (1) through a series of weakening (6) that, not interfering in the coupling by means of the screw cap of the bottle, cause the seal to break when its unscrewing is intended.
De acuerdo con una de las características esenciales de la invención, la base del cuerpo (1) incorpora una boquilla (7) en posición acusadamente descentrada, como se observa especialmente en la figura 2, descentramiento que se produce en oposición a la charnela (8) que relaciona el cuerpo base (1) * con la complementaria tapa de cierre (9), la cual cuenta en su fondo e internamente con un obturador (10), también descentrado, que en posición de cierre queda axialmente enfrentado a la boquilla (7) y que está provisto de un labio perimetral e interno (11) para su acoplamiento machihembrado a un reborde perimetral y externo (12) de la extremidad libre de dicha boquilla (7) .In accordance with one of the essential features of the invention, the base of the body (1) incorporates a nozzle (7) in a sharply offset position, as can be seen especially in Figure 2, runoff that occurs in opposition to the hinge (8 ) which relates the base body (1) * with the complementary closing cap (9), which has a bottom (internally), also internally, with a shutter (10), also off-center, which is axially facing the nozzle ( 7) and which is provided with a perimeter and internal lip (11) for its tongue and groove coupling to a perimeter and external flange (12) of the free end of said nozzle (7).
Según otra característica de la invención, se ha previsto que en el seno del obturador (10) se disponga un junta multicapa (13) que actúa como medio de sellado de la boquilla, delatando la apertura del tapón.According to another feature of the invention, it is provided that a multilayer gasket (13) is provided within the plug (10) which acts as a means of sealing the nozzle, betraying the opening of the plug.
Esta junta (13) está constituida por un estratificado de varios materiales, básicamente, una capa de material esponjoso, como por ejemplo de foam o espuma de poliuretano, y una lámina de aluminio (14), así como varias capas finas de plásticos que sirven para unir las dos capas básicas y a su vez cada una de ellas a la parte correspondiente del tapón. La lámina de aluminio queda fijada, por termosoldadura o similar, al frente de la boquilla (7), de manera que durante la comercialización inicial del envase, en la que se pretende una inviolabilidad para el contenido del mismo, tal inviolabilidad viene determinada tanto por el precinto (4) como por el sellado que supone la lámina de aluminio (14) sobre la embocadura de la boquilla (7) .This gasket (13) is constituted by a laminate of several materials, basically, a layer of spongy material, such as foam or polyurethane foam, and an aluminum foil (14), as well as several thin layers of plastic that serve to join the two basic layers and in turn each of them to the corresponding part of the cap. The aluminum foil is fixed, by heat welding or the like, to the front of the nozzle (7), so that during the initial commercialization of the container, in which an inviolability for its contents is intended, such inviolability is determined both by the seal (4) as per the sealing of the aluminum foil (14) on the mouthpiece of the nozzle (7).
En la primera maniobra de apertura de la tapa (9) el disco de material esponjoso (13) se mantiene unido al obturador (10) mientras que la lámina de aluminio (14) se queda fijada a la embocadura de la boquilla (7), siendo necesaria su eliminación para poder beber de la botella, a cuyo efecto dicha boquillaIn the first maneuver of opening the cover (9) the disc of spongy material (13) is held together with the plug (10) while the aluminum foil (14) is fixed to the mouthpiece of the nozzle (7), its elimination being necessary to drink from the bottle, for which purpose said nozzle
(7) está provista de un facetado plano y lateral (15) que, a modo de uñero, facilita el desprendimiento de dicha lámina (14).(7) is provided with a flat and lateral facet (15) which, as a nail, facilitates the detachment of said sheet (14).
Una vez retirada la lámina de aluminio (14), si se vuelve a cerrar la tapa (9) sobre el cuerpo del tapón (1), el obturador (10) se cerrara sobre la boquilla (7), quedando la capa de material esponjosoOnce the aluminum sheet (14) has been removed, if the lid (9) is closed again on the body of the cap (1), the plug (10) will close over the nozzle (7), leaving the layer of spongy material
(13) debidamente apretada sobre el borde de la boquilla, mejorando así la estanqueidad del cierre.(13) properly tightened on the edge of the nozzle, thus improving the seal tightness.
Según una realización practica más sencilla, la junta (13) puede estar constituida únicamente por la lámina de aluminio, actuando exclusivamente como medio de sellado, en cuyo caso la estanqueidad del cierre se conseguiría únicamente en base al apriete que el obturador (10) realizará sobre la parte externa de la boquilla (7) . La tapa (4) , para estabilizar también la situación de cierre, incorpora un nervio perimetral e interno (16) a nivel de su embocadura, destinado a enclavarse a presión en un nervio complementario (17) del cuerpo base (1), de manera que el desacoplamiento entre ambos elementos se realiza mediante una tracción lateral sobre la tapa (9), concretamente a través de una pestaña (18) dispuesta en oposición diametral a la charnela (8 ) .According to a simpler practical embodiment, the gasket (13) may be constituted solely by the aluminum foil, acting exclusively as a sealing means, in which case the sealing of the closure would only be achieved based on the tightening that the obturator (10) will make on the outside of the nozzle (7).
