Description

 VIOLATION EVIDENTIAL BOTTLE COVER

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a lid to evidence violations, specifically to a lid to prevent violations in bottles, and more specifically to bottle caps that incorporate flow controls and safety tokens.

Description of the Prior Art

One of the functions of tapas to avoid violations, is to offer a conflability that bottled products that use these caps, can reach the consumer with the same quality as when they left the bottling machine, thus preventing any alteration or adulteration while in transit, before reaching the consumer and after the bottle has been consumed.

The inviolable tapas business is broad, and there is a wide range of lid designs that fulfill their function more or less effectively.

In view of the fact that the manufacturer of the covers requires individual molds, machines and operators for each component, the technological pattern of reducing the number of pieces, and therefore, making the design easier, and even more, simplifying the assembly of the elements in each component, is necessarily followed to reduce costs, and that the final consumer does not pay a high price, even if it is for its safety.

Thus, there are different types of seals and caps that show the opening of a bottled product. One of the most popular and possibly cheap ways to provide this type of seals that evidence the opening of a bottle is through skirts, which remain in the bottle once the bottle is opened and the lid detached from the bottle. An example of this type of cover is disclosed in US Patent No. 5,964,363, which discloses a bottle cap that shows opening, and is resistant to failure, which includes a skirt with a lower edge, and a band that is evident for manipulation, formed integrally with the skirt and which has a structure to hold under a retaining flange in the bottle to prevent subsequent removal of the band. Similarly, U.S. Patent No. 6,003,701 discloses a tamper resistant bottle cap for molded bottles with threaded necks. US Patent No. 6,112,923 discloses a closure cap that includes a tamper indicating band with an upward and inward retaining edge having ramp elements, and a bottleneck that includes the corresponding ramp elements. The US Patent No. 6,484,896 discloses a container with a neck and opening, in combination with a lid that shows manipulation that includes a top, a dependent ring skirt and a band that shows manipulation that is fragilely connected to the skirt. US Patent No. 6,736,280 discloses a lid that shows tampering for bottles, with a body defined by a cylindrical base, a top closure, an external anti-slip surface, a suitable internal threading with interrupted sections, above which there is a internal sealing layer, while the lower end has a similarly circular extension, which determines that the outer sealing band increases the width of the wall and has a cutting line with breakable parts.

There are other types of technologies on the market, which use labels that need to be removed before using the product, and cannot be re-attached to the bottle cap, such as the one disclosed in US Patent No. 5,904,259, in which a bottle cap and a tamper evident label are disclosed, which has a central tube section capable of receiving a dispensing specimen that is part of the dispensing system. An ultra-thin plastic label is heat sealed with the face of the bottle cap, thereby protecting the central tube section of any external contaminant. In view of heat sealing, the label cannot be re-attached to the face of the bottle cap, or any other surface once it has been removed. Other technologies break the upper cover, which is usually made of weak materials, such as low density polyethylene plastic, to show that it is not a new product, as is the case of US Patent No. 6,571,994 and its continued - in part, U.S. Patent No. 6,702,161 describing a closure for a container that has a sealed opening membrane. The closure includes a cap, a nozzle and a stem. The rod includes a piercing structure that extends downward, adapted to pierce the membrane of the container at the time of rotating the nozzle relative to the lid.

In the same way there are caps that do not allow to be screwed back to the bottle, as is the case of the lid of European Patent No. 0 807 585 where teeth allow a ring that is part of the screwed part, to be turned when it is curling and prevent its turning when it is unscrewing. The ring is attached to the body of the cover by means of a series of ribs or horizontal bridges, which are broken when the ring cannot be rotated, when the cover is unscrewed for the first time. The ring has two cuts 180 ° verticals that cause the ring to separate into two pieces when the ribs or horizontal bridges are broken. The cylindrical body of the lid has a smaller diameter than the ring and is designed in such a way that it can receive an over-cap having the same diameter as the ring. Similar to this patent, it is the French patent No. 2 666 307, where a screw cap of the inviolable type, a landfill, a gasket and a cylindrical tube is disclosed. The lid, which has one part in one of the modes, has a ring not attached to the lid, which breaks into two parts when the lid is unscrewed for the first time.

There are documents to produce a sound, to demonstrate the authenticity of the bottled product, such as that described in US Patent No. 6,840,373 where a lid assembly is disclosed that includes an internal cylindrical housing nested with an external cylindrical housing, the housing External includes a skirt that has threads capable of being rotatably attached to the bottleneck. The housings are hollow so that the inner shell can store a liquid substance therein, the inner shell has a closed lid and the outer shell has a bottom wall to seal the bebilbe substance inside the lid assembly. The rotation of the inner shell causes a free edge of it to break the bottom wall, whereby the beverage substance is released into the bottle to interact with the substance stored in the bottle. The housings include an audible sound substantially simultaneous with the rupture of the seal. Finally, there are also technologies aimed at inviolable caps to make breaks and detachments of certain parts of the lid, as is the case of US Patent No. 4,497,415, where an improved non-refillable and inviolable cap is disclosed, for bottles or similar packages, of the type comprising, a clamping tube that attaches to the outer part of the neck of a container, characterized by: a plurality of relatively flexible internal clamping legs, which are locked against the crown edge or neck of the container to prevent its sliding upwards a plurality of locking surfaces and a plurality of internal, vertical clamping ribs, which cooperate with a flange on the neck of the container, to prevent its rotation around the container; a valve seat, to be tightly coupled to the perforation or mouth of the container and comprising a relatively flexible valve seat flange, a perforated bottom to allow passage of the contents of the container, a central vertical projection, guide, and a member annular retention that includes a locking surface at one of its ends; a valve that has a central cavity at each of its ends, one of which fits loosely in the vertical projection of the seat, and a conical sealing wall that surrounds it and sits on the edge of the valve seat; an externally threaded landfill, comprising a flange in its middle part, an internal locking surface, a plurality of legs each of which has an external locking flange at its lower end, and an internal central ring dependent on its upper wall , to guide and retain the valve when it is in its open position, and an internally threaded plug to the landfill, which comprises a central pivot dependent on its upper wall, which penetrates the upper valve cavity, to push and hold the valve sealed against the seat flange, a portion of annular skirt integrally attached to the cap by means of a plurality of breakable reticles, the skirt of which includes a plurality of locking surfaces to lock directly or indirectly with the weir and / or the tube. In the same order of ideas, European Patent No. 1 526 086, which discloses an overcap with an external structure that can optionally receive a fractured overcap, a non-fractured overcap with a separable seal band and an embedded metal overlay, presenting for this, the tube cover on its outer periphery, successively from the top to its intermediate step, a longitudinal groove that can be fitted with drawing of the metal overcap, a peripheral nerve that can be fitted with partial sections of the overcap and with drawing of the metal overcap, as well as a second peripheral rib that can be connected to a conjugate rib of the tear-off cap, existing in the area of the cap-tube between both external ribs multiple external projections intended to be conjugated with internal reliefs of the seal band.

Therefore, different types of technologies are known in the prior art, which are used for caps, specifically to show the opening and manipulation after the opening of the caps.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention, to provide a lid that evidences the opening of a bottle, with parts that have a flexible connection between them during their assembly process, and that, once assembled, are firmly attached and fastened, without the possibility of disassembling them except for their breakdown, thus indicating a violation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a lid of the same nature, which uses fewer components, thus having a simpler assembly.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a lid of the same nature, in which the components of the lid cannot be reassembled once the unscrew for the first time disassemble by breaking it.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a lid of the same nature, which is easily visible to the consumer the quality of the bottle using this type of caps.

An object linked to the previous objects, is to avoid the alteration or adulteration of the drinks contained within the bottles. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent when reference to the description is taken in conjunction with the following figures.

The present invention relates to elements of the system that includes a flow control for the bottle and a safety indicator. The present invention can be incorporated into any type of bottle, that is, bottles containing thread or bottles that do not contain thread, to integrate the cap, as will be shown below.

In relation to Figures 1 to 6, 8 and 9, the embodiments and parts of the invention will be highlighted. However, the interaction between the parts will be shown in Figures 7a to 7c.

For convenience, the control flow component, the safety token, as well as the adjustment sleeve or threaded support and the adjustment ring respectively, where these elements will be explained in greater detail, will be referred to as "system elements" below and will be indicated according to the preferred embodiments of the invention.

First Modality

The first modality refers to bottles whose necks are screwed on the top.

Figure 1 is a cross section of a bottle (1), with a cap (3), screwed on the top of the neck (2) of the bottle (1). The cover (3) is close to the upper part of the neck (2) of the bottle (1), and is screwed from the factory. The lid (3) can have a skirt (4) or wrap, which covers the neck (2) of the bottle, in the area not covered by said lid (3). The skirt (4) can be attached to said lid (3) by means of a striated line, which can be a second means of evidence of the violation of the bottle

(D-.

The elements of the system to show the violation of the bottle (1) are housed between the inner walls (6) of the upper part of the neck (2) bottle (1), and the upper part (10) of the lid (3) .

Between the inner walls (6) of the upper part of the neck (2) of the bottle (1), an adjustment sleeve (5) is inserted, which has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner wall (6) of the upper neck (2), where the adjustment shirt (5) is nested and housed inside the neck (2) in a pressure relationship. That is, when assembling the components of the present invention in the bottle (1), the insertion of the adjustment sleeve (5) in the neck (2) is by means of pressure. The stop of the insertion of the adjustment shirt (5) in the neck (2), is indicated by a flange (15) in the upper part of the adjustment shirt (5) - and by the upper edge (14) of the neck (2). Said flange (15) has a diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the adjustment sleeve (5) and slightly smaller than the diameter of the outer wall (7) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1), so that said flange

(15) bumps into the upper edge (14) of the neck (2). It is possible that along the wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5) that comes into contact with the inner wall (6) of the neck (2), said wall (16) has a plurality of pressure rings ( 17), to prevent the passage of liquid between the wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5) and the inner wall (6) of the neck (2), which can cause dripping when pouring the bottle (1).

Inside the cylindrical wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5), the safety warning light (9) and the flow control component (8) are nested and housed. The flow control component (8) comprises different parts. A wall (20) substantially parallel with the wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5), has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5), where the control component of flow (8) is in a pressure relationship with the wall (16). That is, when assembling the components for the cover of the present invention, the insertion of the flow control component (8) into the adjustment sleeve (5) is by means of pressure. The stop of the insertion of the flow control component (8) in the adjustment sleeve (5), is indicated by a flange (21) at the top of the flow control component (8), where the flange (21 ) bump into the upper part of the flange (15) of the adjustment shirt

(5) . Said flange (21), has a diameter substantially larger than the diameter of the flow control component (8) and smaller than the flange diameter (15) of the adjustment sleeve (5). It is possible that along the wall (20) of the flow control component (8), which comes into contact with the wall (16) of the adjustment jacket (5), said wall

(20) has a plurality of pressure rings (22), to prevent the passage of liquid between the wall (16) of the adjustment jacket (5) and the wall (20) of the control component of

• flow (8), which can cause dripping when pouring the bottle (1). In at least one vertex of the inner part

(25) of the wall (20) is a bridge (23), which joins the inner part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control component (8), with the central part

(24) of the flow control component (8). The width of the bridge (23) is substantially smaller than the radius of the central part (24). While the bridge (23) also fulfills the function of sealing and regulating the flow of the liquid when the bottle is poured • (1), the central part (24) of the flow control component (8) is the main element in charge of partially seal and regulate the liquid outlet from the bottle (1), that is, the central part (24) regulates and controls the flow of liquid emanating from the bottle (1) when it has been poured. It is preferred that the width of the bridge (23) be substantially less than the radius of the central part (24), so that the flow of liquid emanating from the bottle (1) once discharged is not too much. Likewise, the radius of the central part (24) is required to be smaller than the radius of the flow control (8), so that the flow of liquid emanating from the spilled bottle (1) is not overstressed. However, the width of the bridge (23) must be strong enough to withstand a normal force that can be created against said bridge (23) when unscrewing the cover (3).

The inner part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control component (8) gradually widens from the top of the wall (20) to the bottom of the wall (20), according to a warning light of security (9). The safety warning light (9) comprises a wall (30) substantially parallel to the wall (16) of the adjustment sleeve (5), where the wall (30) of the warning light (9) has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of a the widest part of the inner wall (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control component (8). Therefore, the wall (30) of the control (9) may become in physical contact with the widest part of the inner wall (25) of the flow control component (8), however, the contact must not be enough to hold the witness (9) in place in the rest position of the system elements. At the top of the wall (30) of the witness (9), there is at least one flange (31), where the flange (31) has a height greater than that of the wall

(30). The number of tabs (31) contained in the token (9) can directly depend on the number of bridges (23) that the flow control component (8) has.

It is possible that the side wall (33) of the flange

(31) is in contact with the side wall of the bridge (23). Optionally, it is possible that the rear wall (34) of the flange (31) is in contact with the inner part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control (8). Optionally, it is even more preferred that the control (9) comprises a groove (40) in its main side wall (41) for each bridge (23), and where the lower part of the bridge (23) is in contact with said groove ( 40). Preferably, this union that. occurs between the control (9) and the flow control component (8), it is welded. Welding is strong enough to withstand a hard treatment of the bottle (1), and fragile enough so that when the cap (3) with a flange creates a normal force when unscrewing, it is fragile enough to be broken. For this type of welding, it is preferred that it be done by means of laser or ultrasound, however, other types of welding such as gas flame or an electric arc are not ruled out. Similarly, welding is not ruled out cold for this type of process. Between the tabs (31), the top (32) of the wall (30) is in contact and in friction with the bridges (23) or joined at the point of said groove (40) as mentioned above. Specifically, the contact between the upper part of the wall (30) and the upper wall of the bridges (23), allows to create a stop between the upper part (32) of the. wall (30) of the control (9) and the bridges (23) of the flow control (8). That is, the stop mentioned above limits the insertion of the flow control (8) in the token (9). As mentioned earlier, the height of the flange (31) is greater than that of the wall (30) of the control (9). Similarly, the height of the flange (31) is greater than the height of the bridge (23) of the flow control (8). Thus, the tab (31) protrudes according to the bridge (23). If two or more tabs (31) of the witness (9) are contemplated, an equitable number of bridges (23) can be contemplated, so that the tabs (31) and the bridges (23) can be inserted .

Attached to the inner part (11) of the upper part (10) of the cover (3), there is a thrust piece (12). The upper surface of the thrust piece (12) is substantially coincident with the inner part (11) of the upper part (10) of the cover (3). At the bottom (35) of the thrust piece (12) there is at least one flange (36), where the height of the flange (36) of the thrust piece (12) is such that it is partially coinciding with the eyelash (31) of the token (9) when both tabs (31, 36) are on the same X axis. The number of tabs (36) of the thrust piece (12), is directly coincident with the number of tabs (31) of the witness (9).

Figure 2 is an exploded view of the first embodiment of the invention. The cover (3), which is threaded on the side walls of the internal part, has an upper part (10), where the thrust piece (12) is attached, on the internal part (13) of the cover ( 3) and at the top of the thrust piece (12). Said surfaces, that is, the inner part (13) of the upper part (10) of the cover (3) and the upper part of the thrust piece (12) are substantially similar. At the bottom (35) of the thrust piece (12), there is at least one flange (36), which has a height dependent on the height of the flange (31) of the safety indicator (9). That is, if both tabs (31, 36) are taken on the same X axis, the height of the flange (36) of the thrust piece (12) must partially coincide with the height of the flange (31) of the control

(9) when the cover (3) is rotated to unscrew the cover (3). Similarly, the positioning of the flange (36) of the thrust piece (12) is dependent on the positioning of the flange (31) of the control (9). That is, if you take both tabs (31, 36) in the same X axis, the position of the flange (36) of the thrust piece (12) must partially coincide with the position of the flange (31) of the control (9), once the cover (3) is rotated. However, it should be noted that if the flange (31) of the witness (9) and the bridge (23) are taken on the same X axis, the position of the flange (31) will not coincide with the position of the bridge (23) , that is, there is no interaction between the tab (31) of the token and the bridge (23) of the flow control (8). Similarly, it is noted that in the resting position, that is, in a position where the cover is in an initial position without unscrewing, the tabs (31, 36) do not coincide on the X axis and only coincide on the axis Y. The number of tabs (36) of the thrust piece (12), is directly coincident with the number of tabs (31) of the control

(9) •

The safety indicator (9) can be found connected to the flow control component (8), by means of the side wall (33) of the flange (31), which can be in contact with the side wall of the bridge (2. 3) . However, it is also possible to join the control (9) with the flow control component (8), by means of the rear wall (34) of the flange (31) of the control (9) with the internal part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control component (8). Similarly, it is possible that the side wall (41) contains a slot (40) per bridge (23), and that the lower part of the bridge (23) is attached to the upper part (42) of the side wall (41). In all the modalities of union between the control (9) and the flow control (8), a weld strong enough to withstand a hard treatment to the bottle (1) is preferred, and fragile enough so that when the lid ( 3) Create a normal force when unscrewing, be fragile enough to be broken.

In the inner part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control (8), there is at least one bridge (23), which joins said wall (20) with the central part (24) of the control of flow (8). The tabs (31) of the control (9) cross between each of the bridges (23). Therefore, the height of the flanges (31) is greater than the height of the bridges (23), however, the height of the flanges (31) is less than the height of the wall (20), as well as the height of the eyelashes (31) is slightly greater than the height of the central part (24).

As stated above, the lower part of the bridge (23) rests, and consequently can be attached to, the upper part (42) of the side wall (41) of the control (9). The rest of the bridge (23) must, in this mode in which the control (9) is connected to the flow control (8) by means of the upper part (42) and the lower part of the bridge (23), necessarily be over the groove (40), since resting and being attached on said slot (40), allows the contact area between the bridge (23) and the upper part (42) to exist, is smaller compared to the part where said slot (40) is not. Therefore, fragility is provided to break the contact when the cover (3) is rotated, and at the same time sufficient bond strength between the control (9) and the flow control (8).

In view of the fact that the upper part (42) of the side wall (41) of the control (9) runs into the lower part of the bridge (23), and in view of the fact that the side wall (41) is substantially larger than the wall (20) of the flow control (8), the side wall (41) of the control (9) protrudes according to the wall (20) of the flow control (8).

The diameters of both the side wall (41) of the control (9) and the wall (20) of the flow control (8) are smaller than the diameter of the opening (18) of the adjustment sleeve (5). Therefore, both the control (9) and partially the flow control (8) are housed inside the jacket (5). When the flow control (8) and the control (9) are inserted into the jacket (5), the pressure rings (22) of the wall (20) of the flow control (8) create a pressure against the internal part of the wall (16) of the shirt (5). The tab (21) of the adjustment control (8) rests on the tab (15) of the adjustment shirt (5). In turn, the adjustment shirt is inserted to the neck

(2) of the bottle (1). Therefore, the witness (9), as partially the flow control (8), and partially the adjustment sleeve (5), are housed inside the neck (2) of the bottle (1). When the adjustment sleeve (5) is inserted, with the components housed therein, the pressure rings (17) of the wall (16) create a pressure against the inner wall (6) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1). The flange (15) of the adjustment shirt (5) rests on the upper edge (14) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1). Preferably the length of the flange (21) of the flow control (8) is less than the flange (15) of the adjustment sleeve (5), and the flange (15) of the adjustment sleeve (5) is less than upper edge (14) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1). The cover (3) can have a skirt (4) or

• wrap, which covers the neck (2) of the bottle, in the area not covered by said lid (3). The skirt (4) can be attached to said cover (3) by means of a striated line.

Second Modality

The second modality refers to bottles whose necks are not screwed on the top.

It should be noted that this modality shares characteristics with the first modality. Specifically, the security token (9), the control component of flow (8) and the thrust piece (12) are essentially equal to the first modality, therefore, what refers to the physical construction of the aforementioned elements, as well as their relationship, will be described in this second modality according to the First mode, as if the letter read.

Thus, in figure 3, a threaded support is shown

(50) which is composed of three main parts: an upper part (53), a flange (54) and a lower part (55).

As in the first mode, when the adjustment sleeve (5) is inserted, with the components housed inside it, that is, the warning light (9) and the flow control (8), in the second mode When the threaded support is inserted, a pressure is created against an internal wall (51) of said threaded support (50). The flange (21) of the flow control (8), rests on the upper wall (52) of the upper part (53) of the threaded support (50), while the side wall (41) of the control (9) and the wall (20) of the flow control (8) are housed inside the threaded support (50).

The upper part (53) of the threaded support (50) is partially threaded (56), to coincide with the threads (19) of the cover (3). The flange (54) rests on an adjustment ring (60), which adjusts the space between the bottom wall (55) and the internal part (6) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1), in order to avoid dripping of the bottle (1) when it is poured. The lower part (55) of the threaded support (50) is generally housed within the neck (2) of the bottle (1). The adjusting ring (60), which is square shaped, is comprised of two main parts, a flange (61) and a side wall (62). The flange (61) rests on the upper edge (14) of the neck (2) of the bottle (1). Similarly, the flange (54) of the threaded support (50) rests on the flange (61) of the adjusting ring (60). The side wall (62) is compressed between the inner wall (6) of the neck (2) and the outer part of the lower part (55) of the threaded support (50). Therefore, a pressure force is created between the three parts, that is, a pressure is created by inserting the threaded support (50) against the adjusting ring (60), which in turn creates pressure against the inner wall (6) of the neck (2), therefore, avoiding spills of the internal liquid. The wrap or skirt (4) wraps the flange (54) of the threaded support (50), as well as the adjusting ring (60). Therefore, the sight of this wrap by the skirt (4), the threaded support (50) cannot be detached from the neck (2), and consequently from the bottle (2), giving evidence to a third means of evidence of the violation of the bottle (1). The lid (3) can have a skirt (45) joined by means of a striated line, same as when rotating, it can be broken, leaving a second means of evidence of the violation of the bottle (1). An exploded view of the second mode is shown in Figure 4. As mentioned above, the cover (3), the thrust piece (12), the flow control component (8) and the control (9) are substantially equal to the first mode. However, instead of the adjustment sleeve, which performs a function similar to the adjustment ring (60) of this mode, there are two different parts, a threaded support (50) and the adjustment ring (60). The flow control component (8) and the indicator (9) are inserted into the opening (57) of the threaded support (50). The pressure rings (22) of the flow control (8) create a pressure against the inner wall (51) of the threaded support (50). The threaded support (50) comprises an upper part (53) with an upper wall (52) where the flange rests

(21) of the flow control (8). In the outer wall of the upper part (52) there are a plurality of threads

(56) substantially coincident with the threads (19) of the cover (3). The threaded support (50) also comprises a flange

(54). Finally, the threaded support (50) comprises a bottom (55). While the lower part (55) of the threaded support (50) can be inserted through the opening (63) of the adjustment ring (60), the movement in the Y axis to be inserted from the threaded support (50) in the ring adjustment (60), is delimited by the flange (54) of the threaded support (50), as well as the flange (61) of the adjustment ring (60).

The side wall (62) of the adjusting ring (60) is pressed on one side by the wall of the lower part (55) of the threaded support (50) and on the other side by the inner wall (6) of the neck ( 2) .

The skirt (4) wraps the flange (54) of the threaded support, the flange (61) of the ring. fit (60) and neck (2) of the bottle (1).

Third Modality

The third modality refers to bottles whose necks are not screwed on the top.

It should be noted that this modality shares characteristics with the first modality, and even more so with the second modality. Specifically, the security token (9) and the flow control component (8) are essentially equal to the first and second modality, therefore, as regards the physical construction of the aforementioned elements, as well as their relationship, are will have described in this third modality according to the first and second modality, as if the letter read. Similarly, the threaded support (50), the adjustment ring

(60) and the skirt (4) are essentially equal to the second modality, therefore, what refers to the physical construction of the aforementioned elements, as well as their relationship, will be described in this third modality according to the second modality, as if the letter read.

As shown in figure 5, unlike the first and second modality, the cover (3) integrates the flange (36) directly in its upper part (10) and inside (11) and consequently, the device in this modality , does not need a pushing element. The relationship between the flange (36) in the lid (3) and the flange (31) of the control (9) is preserved as in the first and second modality.

Similarly, if the bottle (1) is threaded on its neck (2), the tabs (36) can be integrated as a pushing mechanism, directly to the lid (3). In figure 6, the cover (3) is shown in a phantom way, that is, the side wall of the cover (3) is transparent, in order to observe the tabs (36) directly integrated to the upper part (10) of the inside (11) of the lid. In this case of figure 6, as in figure 5, the rest of the body of the second is shown modality. However, it is noted that the third modality is also applicable to the first modality.

In all modalities it is preferable that the materials of the system elements are of a hard material, however flexible enough to be pressed when they are inserted in their corresponding places. An ideal material for the above, however not limitingly, is plastic. Within plastics, preferred plastics, but not limited to them, are high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene, acrylic polymers, polybutadiene, polybutadiene styrene, high density polymers, poly - High density ethylenes, low density poly-ethylenes, and mixtures thereof. However, it is also preferred that the material from which the bottle is made is reproduced for the elements of the system, so that the bottles are easily recyclable. Similarly, it is possible that the control (9) may be covered by a layer of a substance, such as starch, so that the layer covering the control (9) can react with the liquid, for example in the alcohol, or any other chemical that the liquid may have, and consequently change color. Therefore, the witness would be able to become visible on dark places, if bright colors or even phosphorescent colors are selected.

In relation to the shape of the eyelashes (31, 36) of the control (9) and of the push piece (12) or, if applicable, the cover (3), these can be in the form of a flap, as shown in The figure, however, can also be in the form of a triangle with the upper part of the rounded or flattened triangle, as well as in a rectangular shape with the • domed or rectangular interior corners with a corner of the inclined rectangle, etc. That is, the important thing about the form is that you correctly slide a tab (31 or 36) according to the other and even more important than when contacting a tab (31 or 36) with the other, and when sliding a tab (31 or 36) on the other, a normal thrust force is made between both tabs (31 or 36), as will be explained below.

Figures 7a to 7c show the sequence of steps when the lid (3) is rotated and consequently in the exercise of uncovering the bottle (1). As mentioned earlier, in these figures, the interaction between each of the parts will be demonstrated. Specifically, it is shown in Figures 7a to 7c, a modality similar to the third modality, however in combination with the first modality, that is, a thrust piece is not included as such, however it has the jacket of fit (5). Figure 7a shows the closed lid (3), that is, the unopened bottle (1). The adjustment sleeve (5) houses the system elements (8, 9) inside. The tabs. (31, 36) are close to each other, however without making a normal thrust force between said tabs (31, 36). The system is at rest.

Turning clockwise to the lid

(3), the flange (36) of the pushing means is also started to rotate in the same direction, since it is intrinsically related to the cover (3), as shown with the arrows in Figure 7b.

The flange (36) of the pushing means when turned, begins to create a normal pushing force against the flange (31) of the control (9), since both tabs (31, 36), are sliding an envelope the other.

By sliding the flange (31) of the witness (9) over the flange (36) of the pushing means, a pushing force is created on the flange (31) of the witness, sufficient to break the existing connection between either the side wall (33) of the flange (31) of the indicator (9) and side wall of the bridge (23) of the flow control (8), or the rear wall (34) of the flange (31) of the witness (9) and the internal part (25) of the wall (20) of the flow control (8), or the lower part of the bridge (23) of the flow control (8) and the upper edge of the groove (40) of the control (9) . Therefore, upon breaking the aforementioned joint, and as seen in Figure 7c, the control (9) is able to completely detach itself from the other elements of the system and fall into the bottle (1) by means of the adjustment shirt (5) or threaded support (50) and adjustment ring (60), as well as by means of the neck (2).

Therefore, when falling into the bottle (1), as indicated by the arrow in Figure 7c, the witness (9) is a first means of evidence of the violation of the bottle

(D •

Figure 8 is a side view of the system elements, specifically the flow control component (8) and the safety token (9). Specifically, it is shown that the diameter of the control (9) is smaller than the diameter of the flow control (8), whereby the union between the parts (8, 9) is broken, the control (9) is capable of detach from the flow control, (8) and go through the opening created by the wall (20) to fall into the bottle (1).

This difference in diameters can be verified in Figure 9, which is a cross section of Figure 8 along the line A-A.

• Figure 10 is a top view of the system elements, specifically the flow control component (8) and the indicator (9). In the figure you can see clearly, that the bridges (23) have, among other functions, holding the central part (24) of the flow control (8), where the central part seals and dispenses the liquid outlet from the bottle (1). Figure 10 shows that the tabs (31) of the control (9) are between the bridges (23), that is, the tabs

(31) are interspersed in positions with the bridges

(2. 3) . It is preferred at the time of assembly, that the tabs (36) of the pushing mechanism have the same position in it. Y axis that the bridge (23) of the flow control (8), however, it may be that the tabs (36) do not share the same position on the Y axis as the bridge (23).

Alterations of the structure described herein may be provided by those with art in the field. However, it should be understood that the present description relates to the preferred embodiments of the invention, which is for illustrative purposes only, and should not be constructed as a limitation of the invention. All modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the invention are included within the body of the appended claims.
