Description

Bottle Cap Apparatus The present invention relates to bottle cap apparatus for holding and dispensing contents of a blister pack.
Blister packs often contain soluble and/or effervescent material, such as medicine, herbal remedies and sports supplements. A user therefore has to initially purchase or obtain a suitable drink, open the drink and then dispense the contents of the blister pack into the drink. This results in the purchase of a large quantity of the soluble or effervescent material, requires two items to be carried separately, and in any event is time consuming and troublesome. If the material is already available, then there can be a significant time delay whilst a suitable drink or liquid is found.
Furthermore, off-the-shelf drinks have many preservatives and typically an excess of sugar to improve shelf-life following mixing of the ingredients.
The present invention seeks to provide a solution to these problems.
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided bottle cap apparatus comprising a bottle cap and a blister pack, the bottle cap including a cover and a skirt depending from the cover, the cover and skirt defining a compartment in which the blister pack is received, at least a portion of the cover being depressible to contact and break the blister pack for discharging contents therein.
Preferable and/or optional features of the first aspect of the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 18, inclusive.
According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided bottle apparatus comprising a bottle for holding a liquid and bottle cap apparatus in accordance with the first aspect of the invention for holding and dispensing material in a blister pack.
The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of bottle cap apparatus, in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the bottle cap apparatus; Figures 3a to 3g show the bottle cap apparatus in use; and Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of bottle cap apparatus, in accordance with the present invention.
Referring firstly to Figures 1 to 3 of the drawings, there is shown bottle cap apparatus which comprises a, typically moulded plastics, bottle cap 12 and a blister pack 14 received in a compartment 16 therein. The bottle cap 12 includes a, typically circular, plate-like cover 18 and a continuous wall-like exterior skirt 20 which depends from a perimeter edge of the cover 18.
The cover 1 8 includes a central depressible portion 22. In this embodiment, the central depressible portion 22 is an over-centre toggle 24 having a, preferably circular, plate-like contact element 26 and a continuous living hinge 28 which surrounds the contact element 26 and interconnects a perimeter edge of the contact element 26 with the surrounding edge of the remaining portion 30 of the cover 18. In a storage condition, the hinge 28 holds the contact element 26 in a slightly raised condition relative to the surrounding remaining portion 30 of the cover 18. When used, the contact element 26 is depressed, forcing the hinge 28 to pass over-centre, and urging the contact element 26 to take up a recessed condition relative to the surrounding edge of the remaining portion 30.
The bottle cap 12 also includes a depending interior skirt 32 which extends in parallel and concentrically with the exterior skirt 20. The exterior skirt 20 extends beyond a lowermost free edge of the exterior skirt 20. The exterior skirt 20 includes an inner screw-thread 34 for screw-threaded engagement with an exterior screw-thread 36 on a bottle neck 38, and the interior skirt 32 is dimensioned to be receivable through a mouth of the bottle neck 38.
A separate retainer element 42 is provided as part of the bottle cap 12. The retainer element 42 includes a continuous, preferably circular, collar 44 having an in-turned continuous lower edge forming a ledge 46. The in-turned lower edge defines an aperture 48. The retainer element 42 is dimensioned to be closely received within the interior skirt 32. To this end, the interior skirt 32 advantageously includes a snap-fit detent 50 at its lower free end, so that the retainer element 42 can be push fitted and engaged within the interior skirt 32. An 0-ring seal 52 is also embedded in an undersurface of the cover 18 adjacent to the interior skirt 32 for an edge of the retainer element 42 to abut. The compartment 16 for the blister pack 14 is thus defined by the cover 18, interior skirt 32 and retainer element 42.
The blister pack 14 is a package which typically comprises a plastics overlay 54 affixed to a frangible cardboard or foil backing base 56 for protecting and/or displaying a material 58 therein.
The blister pack 14 is dimensioned such that a base 56 thereof extends to the ledge 46 of the retainer element 42 so that the material 58 aligns with the aperture 48. The retainer element 42 with the blister pack 14 in place is then push-fit inserted into the space defined by the cover 18 and the interior skirt 32.
To aid in the dispensing of the material 58 from the blister pack 14, the central depressible portion 22 includes at least one, in this case being one, centrally positioned downwardly projecting urging element 60. In this embodiment, the urging element 60 is a shaft which has a hollow bore 62 along its length and which opens at both ends. The bore 62 functions as a vent 64.
The apparatus 10 further includes a secondary cap 66 for preventing or inhibiting tampering of the bottle cap 12. The secondary cap 66 is sized to fully receive the bottle cap 12. Preferably, the secondary cap 66 includes a tamper-resistant mechanism 68 comprising, for example, opposing pivoted hook elements 70 which engage a neck flange 72 of a bottle 74. To release, the hook elements 70 are squeezed. This results in the hook elements 70 being splayed outwards from the neck flange 72 and thus allowing removal.
In use and with reference to Figures 3a to 3g, the blister pack 14 is received in the retainer element 42, and the retainer element 42 is engaged within the interior skirt 32, sealing on the 0-ring 52. The urging element 60 abuts the blister pack 14, preferably sealing the vent 64. The bottle cap 12 is screwed in place to the neck 38 of the bottle 74 so that it covers the mouth 40. The secondary cap 66 is engaged with the bottle neck 38, thus protecting the bottle cap 12.
When a user wants to dispense the contents of the blister pack 14, the secondary cap 66 is squeezed at its perimeter, releasing the hook elements 70 and allowing removal. The central depressible portion 22 is depressed, causing the central depressible portion 22 to move to the recessed condition due to the over-centre toggle 24. This movement results in the urging element 60 pushing and piercing an upper surface 54 of the blister pack 14.
This forces the contents of the blister pack 14 to facture the base 56 and thus be dispensed into the contents of the bottle 74. Gas released from the material 58 entering the liquid in the bottle 74 can be released via the vent 64 of the urging element 60.
The bottle cap 12 can now be released from the screw-threaded neck 38, opening the mouth 40 fully to allow dispensing of the liquid and mixed blister pack material 58.
A second embodiment of the bottle cap apparatus 10 is shown in Figure 4. Like references refer to parts which are similar to those of the first embodiment described above, and further detailed description is omitted.
This bottle cap apparatus 10 includes a bottle cap 12, blister pack 14, and secondary cap 66. In this case, however, the urging element 60 does not have a hollow bore, and thus no vent is provided. To this end, the 0-ring seal can also be dispensed with.
Once the central depressible portion 22 of the cover 18 is toggled to take up the recessed condition, the urging element 60 presses the contents of the blister pack 14 out through the base 56, with or without piercing of the upper layer 54 of the blister pack 14.
Once mixed, any increase in vapour within the bottle 74 following blister pack dispensing is simply released with the unscrewing of the bottle cap 12 from the neck 38.
Although the secondary cap is suggested to prevent or inhibit tampering, this is optional and may be dispensed with. If the secondary cap is required, any suitable tamper-resistant mechanism can be used. For example, the hook elements may be fixed and by squeezing the secondary cap at generally diametrically opposite positions intermediate the two hook elements allows splaying and thus release.
The material within the blister pack may be any suitable material, and may be a tablet, for example, as a medicine such as aspirin, or may be drink ingredients or a supplement, such as for a sport.
The cap, interior skirt and central depressible portion of the cover are advantageously formed as one-piece, being for example a unitary plastics moulding. This enables tooling costs to be kept to a minimum.
The retainer element may be dispensed with, if the blister pack is flexible enough to be press fit inserted into the interior skirt.
The exterior skirt may be dispensed with, if other fixing means are to be used to contact the bottle cap to the neck of the bottle. For example, the bottle cap could be formed from metal and be crimped in place to the bottle.
The material within the blister pack can be a solid, liquid, gas or combination.
The bottle cap apparatus is applicable to sporting drinks, health drinks, medical tonics, alcoholic mixes, herbal remedies, effervescence, teas infusions, vitamin supplements, and/or beer brewing.
It is thus possible to provide bottle cap apparatus which holds a blister pack of material within a bottle cap, and which enables dispensing of the material into the bottle without removal of the bottle cap. The bottle cap apparatus is simple to manufacture and cost-effective due to the low number of separate parts. The depressible portion of the cover includes a positive over-centre toggle mechanism, providing certainty in operation. It is also possible to provide a manufacturer with the convenience of supplying a two part mixable beverage, with the constituent parts being kept isolated and separate within a single container device. On purchase of the drink or liquid, the material can be immediately dispensed and consumed, and only the required amount of material is purchased.
The embodiments described above are provided by way of examples only, and various other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
