Description

Closure for wine bottles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a closure for wine bottles of the type that generally presents a glass body, cylindrical, ending in a straight neck and in the end on a neck of slightly larger diameter. Is about  bottles that, once filled and closed, are protected by the area of the mouthpiece and the neck using a tin capsule, polylaminated aluminum, or retractable plastic.

Background of the invention

Currently the wine bottles are closed by a plug that is inserted completely through the mouth externally forming a flat surface on which Place the capsule that covers the entire area of the neck. These plugs are mostly cork, although a few years ago it has started using other synthetic materials for food use. In low quality wines, closures have also been used metallic threads similar to those of other bottles for others products.

A closure is known for glass jars, which It is used massively in canning and juice containers, which consists in a metal cover, which has capable tabs below of coupling by thread in existing projections for the purpose in the bottle mouth. This closure is known in slang as "twist off" and it was a development of the 60s (US-2920778). You have never used this type of closure in wine bottles because the closure lid protrudes from the neck and consequently the bottle of wine could not be capped without wrinkles or folds in the capsule.

Description of the invention

Thus, the objective of this model is a "twist off" type closure for wine bottles with capsule of protection of the neck. To achieve this goal it has been provided a neck that presents a recess towards the nozzle peripheral in which it has outstanding stretch marks that they form a means of coupling by thread of a plug of these features, which opens or closes with a quarter turn, of so that externally together they have a surface peripheral continues with respect to the neck, so that at place a capsule on the closed bottle seemingly a bottle Conventional closed with a cork.

A closure of these characteristics presents advantages over cork, at least for consumers domestic, since they do not need to resort to other types of closing to keep the wine not consumed after opening of the bottle and can easily close it again waterproof so that the wine does not lose its characteristics organoleptic Opening and closing a bottle with a closure of these characteristics does not require any type of tool. He closure does not produce unpleasant tastes like cork or other substances The speed of placement of the closure is as much or more elevated than that of a corker.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a closed wine bottle and encapsulated with a closure like the one recommended in this model.

Figure 2 shows the bottle without placing the closing lid

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced the body and neck (1) of the wine bottle is conventional; however the neck (2) in this case is reduced to a protruding ring through the connection area with the neck (1), since towards the mouth it presents a recess peripheral (3) in which a series of ribs (4) are observed, also made in the glass of the container itself, which make up a thread means for a cover (5) type "twist off".

The lid (5) has a metal body, internally coated with a flexible material that can be used in contact with food products, and below tabs that fit on the ribs (4) of the shaped glass with a turning a quarter turn you get the opening or closing of the bottles

According to an important feature of this model, the cover (5) is externally at the same level as the annular neck (2), so that the closed bottle can be capsule with a tin capsule, aluminum poly-laminate, or retractable plastic (6), together composing a bottle image just like a closed one with a cork or other conventional plug.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not involve an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.

Claims (1)

1. Closure for wine bottles, of which in general they have a cylindrical glass body, ending in a straight neck (1) and at the end in a neck (2) of slightly larger diameter, characterized in that said neck ( 2) has a peripheral recess (3) towards the nozzle in which it has protruding grooves (4) that form a threaded coupling means of a metal plug (5), of the type that internally has a coating of a food use material that also allows a tight seal to be opened by opening or closing with a quarter turn thereof, which externally has a continuous peripheral surface with respect to the neck (2) so that by placing a capsule (6) on the Closed bottle apparent a conventional bottle closed with a cork.
