Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety system for the ejection of bottle caps, in particular bottles containing carbonated or sparkling beverages with such an internal pressure that the bottle cap may be ejected in an unintentional or otherwise uncontrolled way.
  • bottles containing pressurised beverages such as carbonated or sparkling liquids, e.g. Champagne, Prosecco and sparkling wines in general, may experience increases in the pressure of the liquid therein as a result, for example, of a rise in the external temperature and/or shaking of the bottle itself.
  • This increase in pressure may lead to unintentional ejection of the closing cap of the bottle.
  • the cap is retained in the bottle itself by certain safety devices, such as a metal cage or a string of twine, or similar material.
  • the object of the present invention is also to create a safety system for the ejection of bottle caps that may reduce the speed at which the cap escapes from the bottle, and thus the danger of unintentional ejection of the cap from the bottle.
  • a further object of the invention is to create a bottle cap ejection safety system that is able to provide the broadest guarantees of reliability and safety in use.
  • the vent channel 20 comprises a through-hole 21 formed in the neck of the bottle 70.
  • the through-hole 21 is formed at a point on the side surface of the bottle 70 in the correspondence with internal seat 700 wherein the cap 60 is inserted.
  • This vent channel 20 is configured to reduce the pressure of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 by means of the connection with the outside of the bottle 70 during the ejection process of the cap 60 from its internal seat 700 of the bottle 70, as explained in detail below with particular reference to Figures 5 to 7 .
  • Figure 5 shows, in fact, the cap 60 fully inserted into the internal seat 700 of the respective bottle 70.
  • the cap 60 totally interposes itself between the vent channel 20 and the fluid contained in the bottle 70, not enabling fluid communication of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 with the environment outside the bottle 70, and thus keeping the fluid itself contained in the bottle 70 under pressure.
  • Figure 6 represents an intermediate step of the process of ejecting the cap 60 from the bottle 70.
  • the lower end of the cap 60 during the outward movement of the bottle 70, no longer completely interposes itself between the vent channel 20 and the fluid contained in the bottle 70, enabling an incremental fluid communication of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 with the outside environment.
  • the pressure of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 begins to decrease due to the fact that the lower end of the cap 60 no longer obstructs the vent channel 20.
  • the maximum decrease in the internal pressure of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 occurs when the lower end of the cap 60 does not interpose at any point with the channel 20, as represented in Figure 7 .
  • This solution therefore makes it possible to significantly reduce the ejection speed of the cap 60 from the bottle 70, thus further limiting its dangerousness.
  • the vent channel 64 comprises a pair of conduits 10, 15 in communication with each other, where a first conduit 15 faces the lower surface of the cap 60 and a second conduit 10 faces the side surface of the cap 60.
  • This vent channel 64 is configured to reduce the pressure of the liquid contained in the bottle 70 by connecting the liquid contained in the bottle 70, thanks to the conduit 15, with the outside of the bottle 70, thanks to the conduit 10, during the process of ejecting the cap 60 from its internal seat 700 of the bottle 70, as explained in detail below.
  • Figure 8 represents in fact the cap 60 fully inserted into the internal seat 700 of the respective bottle 70.
  • the neck of the bottle 70 closes the end of the second conduit 10, thus totally interdicting the fluid communication of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 with the outside environment, keeping the fluid inside the bottle 70 under pressure.
  • Figure 9 represents an intermediate step in the process of ejection of the cap 60 from the bottle 70, in particular when the second conduit 10 is totally external to the bottle 70, allowing, through also the first conduit 15, the total fluid communication of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 with the environment outside the bottle 70.
  • the cap 60 has not completely left its internal seat 700, but the pressure of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 may be reduced thanks to the vent channel 64.
  • Figure 10 represents the final state of complete ejection of the cap 60 from the internal seat 700 of the bottle 70.
  • the internal pressure of the fluid contained in the bottle 70 has already sensibly decreased, leading to a reduced ejection speed of cap 60, thus limiting its dangerousness.
  • the at least one conduit 10, 15 formed in the cap 60 of the bottle 70 may incorporate reinforcing elements, such as, for example, tubes made of a rigid material, configured to maintain the internal cross-section of the at least one conduit 10, 15 unchanged even after the forced insertion of the cap 60 into the bottle 70, thereby resisting the compression generated by the smashing undergone by the cap 60 when it is inserted into the bottle 70.
  • reinforcing elements such as, for example, tubes made of a rigid material
  • the safety system for the ejection of bottle caps according to the present invention fulfils the task as well as the intended objects in that it allows to limit the maximum receding distance between the cap and the bottle when it is unintentionally or intentionally ejected, so as to avoid any possible impact with subjects or objects placed along the cap ejection trajectory.
  • Another advantage of the safety system for the ejection of bottle caps according to the invention is that it reduces the speed at which the cap escapes from the bottle, and thus the danger of unintentional cap ejection from the bottle.
