Description

The proposed solution relates to packaging means, in particular, to means for capping bottles with an indication of opening, mainly for bottles with elite alcoholic beverages.

Beverage manufacturers are interested in ensuring that their products delivered to the market are protected from unauthorized opening until they are opened by the final consumer of the product. For this purpose, bottle caps are usually provided with a means that will indicate whether the cap was opened before sale or not.

Although various means for indicating opening have been widely recognized, it is very difficult to satisfy all conflicting requirements of the manufacturer.

On the one hand, it is necessary that the caps can be made and placed on bottles at a sufficiently high speed without inadvertently destroying or deforming the display means itself.

On the other hand, after the lid has been fully installed, the indicating means must be firmly fixed under the retaining element of the closure structure, and the requirements of bottle manufacturers for such a secure fastening are becoming more severe.

In addition, the existing jumpers should be easily destroyed, moreover, provided that it is impossible to unscrew the cover without destroying the jumpers.

In this direction, it is known, for example, the technical solution according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 63328, IPC B65D 39/06,

Description. Assembly order.

1. In the part, the tamper control element 3 places the valve part 6 according to the assembly drawing of Fig. 1.

2. Into the constructive undercut 18 of the tamper-evident element 3 (see FIG. 1, FIG. 4 - view A), the protruding part of the diameter 7 of the part is brought in: divider 1 until a tight connection is made.

3. Screw on the part: divider 1 part: cover 4 all the way.

4. A shell part 5 made of aluminum is put on the assembled structure.

5. Roll the structure at a distance “a”, which can be 10-20 mm from the top of the shell 5, with simultaneous notching, while ensuring undercutting (length of the bridge) up to 3 mm., And the width of the bridge 8 in the rolling groove b - up to 0 , 1 mm or other weakening of the cross section of the rolling groove.

The interaction of the elements of the device.

1. When closed, the tightness of the device is provided by a valve 6, which is constantly pressed against the seat 9 of the valve 6 by a pusher 10 located in the center of the part: cover 4, and also by a conical skirt 11 formed in the bottom 12 of the same part - cover 4.

The cover 4 has an internal thread interacting with the external thread of the divider 1, which is fixedly mounted with its protruding part of the diameter 7 in the cavity of the tamper-evident element 3 (in the structural undercut 18).

2. When the cover 4 is uncorked, mechanical destruction occurs at the place of the undercut part (about 3 mm.) Of the aluminum shell 5. The aluminum shell 5 is divided into two elements: 13 - the upper shell element 5 and 14 - the lower shell element 5.

In the first, upper element 13 of the shell 5, the lid 4 and indicator portion 16 of the tamper-evident element 3 are rolled, and in the second, lower element 14 of the shell 5, the rest: the main part of the tamper-evident element 3, including the fixation element on the corolla 15.

When opening (unscrewing) the cover 4, the indicator section 16, having elastic and flexible properties, leaves the rolling belt 19 of the upper element 13 of the shell 5, while becoming visually accessible, that is, the tamper is signaled.

For a more visual signaling of tampering, the indicator section 16 can be made of a material of contrasting color with the color of the shell 5. At the same time, the divider 1 with its protruding part of diameter 7 is firmly held in a non-separable connection: in a constructive undercut 18 in the tamper-evident element 3, since the elastic deformation of the material tamper control 3 are compensated by the stiffness of the aluminum shell in the considered section.

3. With the cap completely unscrewed, valve 6 depressurizes the system, allowing the liquid to spill out.

4. When the device is resealed, the rolling band 19 of the upper element 13 of the shell 5 abuts against the bent indicator section 16 (see view B, Fig. 6) and does not allow the lid 4 and the upper element 13 of the shell 5 to return to their previous position, as a result, visually the detected indicator section 16 cannot be hidden under the upper element 13 of the shell 5.

To identify the terms used in the formula with symbols on graphic materials and description terms, it should be understood that:

- Cork - the design as a whole, according to figure 1, excluding the whisk of the bottle.

- a node for fixed mounting on the rim of the bottle is a fixing element 15 and the divider 1 fixed therein;

- associated with it detachably, for example by means of a threaded connection;

- movable node - cover 4;

- shell - shell 5;

- upper and lower detachable parts, respectively: 13 - upper shell element 5;
