Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved security closure device for containers.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a security closure device of a kind which has been devised in order to prevent an easy opening by children, this closure device comprising means provided in the stopper body and in the container neck, which in combination create a difficulty for opening or unthrea­ding the stopper, which may be overcome by two movements, one of which in radial direction and the other in rotation, in order to wholly separate the stopper with respect to the vial or container.
  • the preferred closure device consists of an one-piece stopper, made of a suitable material, generally a plastic material resisting to the attack by hypochlorites and surface-­active materials, which perfectly adapts itself against the neck of a specially designed vial or container.
  • both components of the closure device namely the stopper and the neck of the container, comprise means intended to create a difficulty against opening.
  • These means are made, in the case of the stopper, of two diametrally opposed retaining means, which in combination with two other retaining means provided in the neck of the container, ensure the blocking of the stopper by opposing said retaining means against each other, in the operating position.
  • it is necessary to exert a radial pressure onto a signalled area of the side wall or skirt of the stopper, through which the retaining means of the stopper, which prevent the rotation movement thereof are made free. Then, the following movement, which consists of the traditional rotation may be made.
  • a security closure device of the kind comprising a stopper, generally designated by 11 and intended to be applied onto the neck 12 of a container.
  • the stopper 11 comprises an obturator 1 ensuring the sealing, a thread 2 and the two diametrally opposed retaining means 3 which, in combination with the retaining means 6 provided on the neck 12 of the container create a blocking of the stopper against rotation.
  • the stopper comprises a security tape 4 or similar piece, intended to guarantee the inviolability of the container since it prevents any movement of the stopper allowing the opening.
  • the neck 12 of the vial comprises a thread 5 and the above-mentioned retaining means 6 which abut the retaining means 3 of the stopper, causing the interaction of blocking the stopper 11. Also, a radial flange 7 is provided, where the security tape or the like 4 of the stopper is located.
  • the operation is as follows.
  • the opening of the vial requires the preliminary operation consisting of tearing the security tape 4 by pulling on the tab 10, which carries away the tape on the whole maximum diameter of the stopper. Then, a first movement is made, consisting of exerting a radial pressure onto the specially indicated area 8 of the stopper, through which and due to the flexibility of the separation areas 9 existing between the external skirt of the stopper and the neck of the vial, the liberation of the retaining means 3 of the stopper is made, which prevented the rotation movement.
  • the second movement is that of rotation which due to the thread existing between the stopper and the vial neck, causes an upwards movement of the stopper until the latter is made free from the vial.
  • the closure of the vial is made by arranging the stopper onto the neck of the vial and rotating clockwisely.
  • the flexi­bility of the plastic material improves the possibility that the retaining means of the stopper overpass by deformation the retaining means of the neck and remain in blocking position, and then the cycle can be initiated.
