Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure designed for closing containers for liquids, which offers characteristic advantages over that which is currently known in the prior art, including those of simple, effective means for adjusting the flow of the liquid poured.
  • the closure that is the subject of the present invention is of the general type used on receptacles for liquids, in particular food liquids such as oils and the like, and which have, in general, sealing means for preventing the outflow of liquid toward the exterior, closure means capable of being opened, for pouring, usually in the form of closeable caps and securing means that have to be destroyed or torn prior to commencing the first pouring of the liquid contents, customarily in the form of a tear-off membrane.
  • the lower body has, at the bottom, an external skirt for coupling and locking on the exterior of the throat of the container, a second, coaxial internal skirt parallel to the exterior skirt and carrying means for sealed closure for the liquid, said lower body further having a third, internal skirt parallel to the first two skirts and designed to be a stop for centering and securing the intermediate body. Furthermore, the lower body has a wall provided with fixed-position windows for the outflow of the liquid.
  • the intermediate body is engaged by means of fixing tabs on the lower body and said intermediate body has conico-radial protuberances that are not connected together at a central point, said conico-radial protuberances leaving apertures for the passage of the liquid therebetween.
  • Said protuberances may coincide in a variable manner on the apertures or windows of radial form of the lower body, having, furthermore, an intermediate security membrane with detachment pull-ring and an upper pouring neck.
  • the intermediate body can turn about its central axis, which coincides with the central axis of the closure, in order to achieve variable matching of its outflow openings or windows with those of the lower body, varying the quantity of flow poured.
  • the upper body is coupled or snap-fitted by means of an internal retention band onto the lower body and has the cap of the closure which is hinged, which engages with the pouring throat of the intermediate body and, furthermore, said upper body has the detachable band that forms the external seal and allows the opening of the hinged cap.
  • the present invention comprises a closure for containers for liquids with adjustment of the flow poured, said closure being formed by three bodies, a lower body, an intermediate body, and an upper body, which are molded independently and press-engaged together, characterized in that the lower body comprises means for connection to the throat of the container, fixed-position windows for the passage of the liquid, means for connection to the upper body, and means for connection to the intermediate body, said intermediate body comprising a detachable security membrane, there projecting under said membrane and in the opposite direction to the outflow direction of the liquid conico-radial protuberances that collaborate with the fixed windows in order to regulate the flow quantity, said protuberances being deformable and not connected at their middle point, the intermediate body having the capacity to turn with respect to the lower body and said upper body comprising a detachable band that secures a cap.
  • the intermediate body has an intermediate flange facing outward, which, once the intermediate body has been mounted, abuts against the lower body, and which has a peripheral ring with non-slip reliefs to allow said turn manually.
  • the means for connecting the intermediate body to the lower body comprise a central cylindrical part of the intermediate body that is press-coupled on the internal part of a skirt of the lower body and has retention tabs with retention ribs on the lower edge of said cylindrical part that are inserted in holes in the form of a circular arc shaped groove in the lower body, preventing axial exit displacement of the intermediate body and also marking a stop in the turn of the intermediate body with respect to the lower body.
  • the means for connection of the intermediate body to the lower body comprise a flexible band for engagement on the lower body which is folded by entering into contact with a projection of the intermediate body, preventing the axial exit displacement of the intermediate body.
  • the intermediate body has on the upper edge of its cylindrical part, a fin curved toward the exterior for the pouring of the liquid.
  • the intermediate body has, in the interior of its cylindrical part, the detachable security membrane carrying an extraction pull-ring, acting as security seal, which can be extracted by means of tearing by pulling on said extraction pull-ring once the cap of the closure has been raised.
  • the detachable security membrane carrying an extraction pull-ring, acting as security seal, which can be extracted by means of tearing by pulling on said extraction pull-ring once the cap of the closure has been raised.
  • the lower body comprises two substantially cylindrical and coaxial skirts that are coupled to the throat of the container.
  • the lower body has an internal skirt designed for centering and retention of the intermediate body, the two innermost skirts being connected together at the closure by a planar zone designed to receive the intermediate body of the closure in abutment.
  • the lower body has an interior projection designed for centering and retention of the intermediate body, said projection being connected by its lower part to the innermost skirt and said innermost skirt having a planar zone designed to receive the intermediate body of the closure in abutment.
  • the top part of the internal skirt is designed for centering and retention of the intermediate body, which is designed for receiving a flexible band of the intermediate body.
  • the means for connection of the lower body to the throat of the container comprise a lower flexible band incorporated internally in the lower part of the external skirt of said lower body, said lower flexible band establishing contact with a relief of the throat, and an internal rib of said external skirt that establishes contact with a second relief of the throat of the container.
  • the receiving means of the upper body comprise a lower annular zone carrying a flexible retention band that is retained by the lower body.
  • said detachable band extends via the periphery of said upper body, leaving the intermediate body visible when said band is detached.
  • the intermediate body is in a different color from the lower body and the upper body.
  • the cap of the upper body has, internally, two concentric cylindrical projections: one with a sealing rib that engages with the cylindrical part of the intermediate body, and another that coincides on the intermediate flange of the intermediate body.
  • the cap of the upper body is connected to the upper body by means of a hinge.
  • Figure 1 shows the exterior appearance of the closure applied onto the end of a container -4- provided with a flange -5- on the throat. Said figure shows the lower body -1- and the upper body -3- of the closure that is the subject of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows the same elements as figure 1 , showing, removed, the detachable band -6- that forms the external seal of the closure and has the part of the non-slip peripheral ring of the intermediate body -2-.
  • the intermediate body -2- is manufactured in a different color from the upper body -3- and lower body -1- so that the user is able rapidly to see that the detachable band -6- has been torn off, by observing the difference in color between the bodies.
  • Figure 3 shows the same elements as figure 2 , showing a hinged cap -31- opened by means of the hinging fin -35-, allowing part of the intermediate body -2- to be seen.
  • Figure 4 shows the same elements as figure 3 , showing the security membrane -8- with its manual extraction pull-ring -9- removed, which makes it possible to observe part of the internal arrangement of the intermediate body - 2- .
  • Figure 5 shows structural elements of the closure that is the subject of the present invention in the mounted position, in a first embodiment.
  • the closure has been shown incorporated into the upper throat of a container designed to contain a liquid, for example a liquid for consumption, such as oil, of which an upper part -4- and the flange -5-, which evidently do not form part of the present invention, have been shown.
  • the lower body -1- has a substantially cylindrical external skirt -10- designed to be coupled onto the exterior part of the throat -11-of the receptacle (see figure 5 ).
  • said lower body -1- has a lower flexible band -12- in the form of an interior fin folded inward and upward, with elastic characteristics, which once inserted catches on a relief of the upper part of the throat -11- for the purposes of the axial retention thereof.
  • Said lower body -1- has, in the interior of its external skirt -10-, a rib -13- of fixed type, but with elastic characteristics, which is retained in a manner similar to the lower flexible band -12-, on a relief of the throat -11-, as may be seen in figure 5 . Therefore, the axial fixing of the lower body -1- with respect to the container will be assured by the combined retention action of said lower flexible band -12- and rib -13- with the external reliefs of the throat -11-.
  • the lower body -1- has, in a first embodiment, a further two substantially cylindrical internal skirts -14- and -15- coaxial with the external skirt -10-, which may be seen in figures 5 and 6 .
  • the internal skirt -14- is coupled to the interior of the throat -11- of the container and has a broad lower rib - 16- for assuring the sealed connection of the lower body of the closure onto the container.
  • the other internal skirt -15- is designed to receive the corresponding part of the intermediate body -2- and via its upper part it is connected by means of the planar zone -17- to the intermediate skirt -14-, providing an abutment zone for the intermediate body -2- as will be explained below.
  • the lower body -1- of the example has, internally, a conico-radial surface -18- provided with a central projection -37- and three radial windows -19- and three holes -39- in the form of of a circular arc, as shown in figure 7 .
  • Said windows -19- have a substantially conico-radial arrangement and are designed to allow the outflow of the liquid contained in the receptacle onto which the closure is applied, combining with the action of turning the intermediate body in order to adjust the flow poured by the closure that is the subject of the invention when the container is emptied.
  • the intermediate body -2- is shown in detail in figure 5 , which shows a full section through the closure, and in figures 8 and 9 , which show a perspective view in section and in full of said intermediate body -2-.
  • said intermediate body has a cylindrical part -20- that engages onto the lower edge of the skirt -15- of the lower body -1-, being retained thereon by means of the fixing tabs -21-provided with a projecting retention rib -22- that is engaged through the holes -39- in the lower edge of the skirt -15-, preventing, after its insertion based on elasticity, the axial exit of said intermediate body -2-; the various elements can be seen in figures 6 and 7 .
  • the holes -39- have the form of a circular arc shaped groove. It is possible for the fixing tabs -21- to slide along said holes, thereby allowing the turning of the intermediate body -2- with respect to the lower body -1-, the holes -39- marking the turning stop of the intermediate body -2- with respect to the lower body -1-.
  • Said intermediate body has a security membrane -8- and an extraction pull-ring -9- that make up the internal seal that has to be opened by means of tearing after opening of the closure cap, in order to allow the contents of the container to flow out.
  • the cylindrical part -20- of the intermediate body has a broad intermediate flange -23- that, once mounted, coincides on the planar zone -17- of the lower body, thereby abutting thereon when the intermediate body is press-inserted into the lower body.
  • Said intermediate flange -23- has a peripheral ring -24- provided with non-slip reliefs -25- to make it possible manually to turn the intermediate body -2- on the lower body.
  • Conico-radial protuberances -26- face radially away from the cylindrical part -20- toward the interior of the intermediate body.
  • the intermediate body -2- ends in the cylindrical part - 20- thereof, in a peripheral fin -27-, which is slightly curved toward the exterior, to allow pouring of the liquid contained in the container.
  • the upper body -3- shown in figure 10 has a lower annular zone -28- provided, internally, with a flexible retention band -29- similar to the above-described lower flexible band -12- of the lower body -1-, which is designed to be retained inside the intermediate body, as it is possible to see in figure 5 .
  • the hinged cap -31- has two internal cylindrical projections -33- and -32-, designed to engage, respectively, with the cylindrical part -20- and the intermediate flange -23-of the intermediate body ( figures 5 and 10 ). Said hinged cap is retained in the intermediate body by means of the flexible retention band -29- and closes in a sealed manner with the aid of an internal rib -34- on the cylindrical part -20- of the intermediate body -2- of the closure that is the subject of the invention.
  • Figures 10 and 11 show a second embodiment of the closure of the present invention.
  • This second embodiment has a different fixing system between the lower body -1- and the intermediate body -2-, allowing more robust securing.
  • the lower body -1- has a flexible engagement band -41- that enters into contact with a projection -42- of the intermediate body.
  • said projection -42- engages by means of dimensional interference with the internal projection -43- of the lower piece.
  • Figure 11 shows the flexible engagement band -41-, the flexible retention band -29- and the lower flexible band -12- in their deployed positions. Said bands are folded upon engagement of the various bodies -1-, -2-, -3-, as seen in figure 12 , exerting a retention effect.
  • FIG. 13 and 14 a third embodiment of the closure of the present invention is shown.
  • Said third embodiment represents a fixing system between the lower body -1- and the intermediate body -2-, which allows a more flexible fixing between the upper body -3- and the lower body -1-.
  • Identical or similar elements of the aforesaid embodiments have been designated with identical reference numerals except for the elements which will be explained in the following.
  • the lower body -1- represents a flexible band for modified engagement -47-which enters into contact with a modified projection -46- of the intermediate body.
  • said modified projection -46- engages by means of dimensional interference with the internal projection -43- of the lower piece.
  • the flexible band for modified engagement -47- and the modified projection -46- represent a smaller wall thickness than in the second embodiment of the present invention in order to solve structural problems in the closure to improve the functioning as being the most flexible connection.
  • the annular part -28- of the upper body -3- represents in its lower part a ridge -45-, which engages with the combined ridge -44- in the upper part of the external skirt -10- of the lower body -1-. Said engagement improves the rigidity of the connection between the different parts of the body.
  • the modified peripheral ring -50- represents a lower diameter with respect to the second embodiment in order to make its function more comfortable for the user.
  • FIG. 15 and 16 a fourth embodiment of the closure of the present invention is shown.
  • Said fourth embodiment represents a different fixing system between the lower body -1- and the intermediate body -2-, which allows a more flexible fixing.
  • the components are explained in figures 13 and 14 except for the elements which are explained in the following.
  • the lower body -1- represents a flexible band for modified engagement -47-which enters into contact with a modified projection -49- of the intermediate body, which also comprises a new flexible band -48-.
  • said new flexible band -48- engages with the upper part of the inner skirt -51- of the lower piece.
  • the three components of the closure will be manufactured preferably by means of injection of plastics, it being possible to use different materials, including PET plastics material, which is customarily used for molding containers.
  • conico-radial protuberances makes it possible to manufacture the intermediate body by means of injection of plastics and to provide, in a single piece, the intermediate body, the tear-off membrane and the conico-radial protuberances that form part of the flow-quantity regulator. Indeed, said conico-radial protuberances, by not being connected together at their free ends, it is possible to demold same by deforming the conico-radial protuberances toward the exterior.
