Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap with a cap for containers or containers of liquids of the type that is coupled to an opening of the container or container, such as PET bottles, although it can also be used in other types of containers, such as for example the drinking boats used by cyclists or athletes.

  • Said non-return valve is integrated in the lid, thus forming part of the body of the lid, or what is the same, integrated in the same piece of the lid, as well as the orifice for the liquid outlet.
  • This invention is applicable in the sector of closures of liquid containers, and in particular those closures of containers for drinks, mainly water, isotonic drinks, soft drinks, juices and dairy products, among others.
  • closing devices are known for containers or liquid containers that incorporate a hole for the exit of the liquid from the container and a hole for the entry of air into it, so that said air inlet facilitates the exit of the liquid.
  • closure devices are used in large diameter cups or jars, especially used by young children and the elderly.
  • said devices are not extended in their application to bottles, mainly in bottle caps of mineral water, soda or isotonic beverages mainly due to the size of the lid and in particular, to the surface of said lid.
  • the inclusion of an orifice for the entry of air in said covers would cause due to the dimensions thereof that the liquid in the bottle exits both through the orifice for the exit of the liquid and through the orifice for the entry of air. This is so, because the distance between both holes is limited by the surface of the lid, which forces both holes to be arranged close to each other.
  • the surface of the closing device is larger, usually equal to or greater than 2.5 cm in diameter, it allows the hole to be located at very separate points of liquid outlet and the air inlet hole, so the above problem does not occur or occurs to a lesser extent.
  • the size of said surface allows different mechanisms to be incorporated into the closing device to prevent the liquid from leaving the air inlet opening.
  • These mechanisms are formed by elements independent of the body of the lid itself and the container, which facilitate the consumption of the liquid to the user or consumer.
  • Mainly said closing devices are composed of different bodies or components coupled together forming an assembly, which also has different materials with different mechanical characteristics that have the common purpose of achieving the aforementioned objectives, mainly facilitating the consumption of a liquid stored in the container for young children or the elderly.
  • the fact that the closing device is formed by different bodies or elements coupled to each other implies an increase in its manufacturing cost since the manufacture of the different components independently, sometimes with materials with specific characteristics such as the Latex or silicone, the assembly and coupling of the different components must be added to the lid body.

These materials prevent the manufacture of a lid in a single body with sufficient rigidity to be coupled to a container or container by for example a thread, or by simple and very productive manufacturing procedures that allow obtaining a product with a very similar cost or identical to that currently used in the aforementioned containers, that is, at a cost similar to caps with a single liquid outlet.
  • the caps used in containers for isotonic drinks have a single orifice for the exit of the liquid that is closed by means of a closing device coupled to the cap.
  • Said closing device moves axially to the liquid outlet opening allowing the opening or closing of the cap with the mouth, without the need to use the hands, which makes it particularly useful for use by athletes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un couvercle avec bouchon pour récipients de boissons qui comprend au moins un orifice pour la sortie de liquide du récipient, au moins un orifice pour l'entrée d'air dans le récipient, cet orifice d'entrée d'air comprenant un clapet anti-retour qui permet l'entrée d'air, mais pas la sortie de liquide à travers celui-ci; le clapet étant intégré au corps du couvercle et disposant d'un élément obturateur, de type bouchon déplaçable axialement, qui permet la double fermeture frontale simultanée des deux orifices, ainsi qu'une déglutition ergonomique de n'importe quel liquide et une utilisation antiseptique du récipient.
