Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the safety of beverages, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals stored in bottles so that they cannot be opened and closed again in an airtight and safe manner, as was originally the case. This ensures the safety and integrity of products stored in this way, and consumer health, which is currently unavailable.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention derives from the need to ensure the safe storage of beverages, foodstuffs and drugs contained in containers, and to protect against unauthorized opening of such containers. This ensures the safety and health of consumers, which is currently unavailable. The closest analogue of the claimed invention is a screw plug with a protective and quality guarantee tape, described in patent document CA No. 2267787. This document describes the screw closure of containers with a protective and quality-guaranteeing tape. Thus, a disadvantage of the analogue is that the cork and capacity are two separate elements. The plug may be separated from the receptacle different from the traditional opening method by, for example, heating the plug (or heating the receptacle) and separating it from the receptacle after expansion. After that, the cork can be returned to its original position with a protective film and reused. This makes such containers unsafe for users. After proving the shortcomings and defects of the closure method for containers of various types and forms, any person can open any container and close it back in a very simple and easy way, without leaving any traces indicating opening the container and manipulating it. Thus, the protective tape available on the market becomes ineffective and can be circumvented. This poses a significant risk to the health and safety of consumers worldwide. This situation requires the provision of an alternative solution, which is absolutely effective and safe closure of containers, thus ensuring the safety of products and ensuring the safety and health of consumers. This invention provides the impossibility of opening and re-closing the container, in which it in any way returns to its original state. In the present invention, in any attempt to open the container in a conventional or indirect way, the seal is damaged and cannot be reused as the first time it was equipped with a protective tape during manufacture, which is currently unavailable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the safety of food and pharmaceutical products stored in containers currently available in the markets. Such containers differ in closure methods, which are unsuitable and do not meet safety requirements due to the indicated disadvantages. Thus, there is a need to modify these closure methods so that they meet the desired complete safety requirements.

The previously mentioned drawback is that the cork and the container are two separate parts. When corking a container equipped with a suitable cork, they form two combined overlapping bodies, so that the cork closes the container in a hermetic but unprotected manner. They can be disconnected in a manner different from normal opening, i.e. by heating the cork and disconnecting it from the container after expansion. It can be returned to its original position with the protective tape in the form in which it was made, so that it can be reused. Further, the neck of the bottle can be heated from the inside, which will lead to the complete detachment of the cork from the bottle with its subsequent return to its original position and repeated reuse, as a result of which the contents of the container can easily be at risk of unauthorized manipulation.

Therefore, the optimal solution provided by the present invention is to create from two bodies, i.e. from the container and the cork, one body when corking the container with a cork. This is achieved by coupling and coupling, so that the plug engages with the container by inserting the plug part into another container part, forming one intermediate part that is invisible until the plug and / or container are damaged, making it difficult to reuse them in the original safe closure in the form in which they were made, or in any other way. This method and this new aspect of the formation of one integral part of the cork and capacity during capping provide capping, characterized by absolute safety. After the bottle is first opened, it is no longer possible to close it with re-creating the original factory position in order to eliminate the risks of unauthorized opening. This level of security is not currently available on the market.

The change represented by this invention is achieved through the connection and adhesion of the plug and container, so that they are combined into one part after capping and cannot be disconnected in any way other than damage to the plug, so that it cannot be reused in the form in which it was manufactured for the first time. It is a contrast to modern methods of capping, where one part is located on another part without any adhesion or connection except for cutting off the protective tape by the edge of the cork, thereby separating the protective tape from the cork.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a method for safely and tightly closing the neck of bottles for foodstuffs and drugs by connecting and coupling the part of the stopper with the part of the neck of the bottle intended to be closed so that the container and its contents are hermetically sealed for safe delivery to the consumer. Thus, prevent unauthorized manipulation after the manufacture of the product and their transportation from the manufacturer. Thus, an original product with the desired quality can be delivered to the consumer without any product changes. The figures show the parts overlapping each other, both on the cork and on the neck of the bottle to achieve absolute closure.

In FIG. 1 shows a method for capping a bottle designed to seal tightly and tightly. Next, the numerical designations used in the figures will be described:

- (1) depicts a side view of a cork with a strip with protrusions on a protective tape, which is a protective element that goes inside the lock located on the neck of the container.

- (2) depicts a front view of the lock on the neck of the container and the method of its adhesion to the strip with the tabs, i.e. protective element of the protective tape located on the cork.

- (3) shows a side view of the cork shown under number (1)

- (4) depicts a side view of the lock on the neck of the container and the method of its adhesion to the strip with protrusions (protective part) of the protective tape located on the cork.

- (5) depicts a front view of the cork on the neck of the container in its final position when it is closed and the strip with the protrusions from the protective tape entering the lock located on the neck of the container.

- (6) depicts a front view of a protective part equipped with a protective tape (strip with protrusions) of a plug. Its essential details are lateral elements that move when a strip with protrusions is inserted into the security lock. After they enter, they return to their original current position, resulting in capping. The introduction is unidirectional, while the possibility of movement in the other direction (removal) is absent.

- (7) shows a side view of a protective part (strip with protrusions) with a protective tape of a plug.

- In FIG. Figure 2 shows a method for capping a bottle designed for airtight closure, with a different strip shape with protrusions used in a cork. The indicated numbers will be described below:

- (8) depicts a side view of a cork with a strip with protrusions on a protective tape, which is a protective part that enters the inside of the lock located on the neck of the container.

- (9) depicts a side view of the lock on the neck of the container and the method of its adhesion to the strip with protrusions (protective part) of the protective tape located on the cork.

- (10) is a side view of the cork similar to that shown under number (8).

- (11) depicts a front view of the lock on the neck of the container and the method of its adhesion to the strip with protrusions, i.e. (protective part) of the protective tape located on the cork.

- (12) depicts a front view of the cork on the neck of the container in the final position when it is closed and the strip with the protrusions from the protective tape entering the lock located on the neck of the container.

- (13) shows a front view of the protective part of the protective tape (strip with protrusions) of the plug with a simple difference in the strip with protrusions, i.e. a protective part located on the protective tape in the cork. The difference lies in the location of the grooves (26) located not on the sides of the strip with protrusions (protective part), as in FIG. 1, but located on the back side. The same applies to the lock, where the location of the grooves (26) is changed in accordance with its change in the protective part (strip with protrusions) included in the lock.

- (14) shows a side view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) of the protective tape of the plug.

- In FIG. Figure 3 shows a method for capping a bottle designed to be sealed by changing the location of the protective tape and lock used in the cork and neck of the bottle. Examples of the indicated numbering will be described later:

- (15) depicts a front view of the lock on the protective tape in the cork in contrast to the part number (1) in FIG. 1, where the strip with protrusions is located on the cork, and the lock is located on the container. Here, on the contrary, the castle is located on a cork, and a strip with protrusions, i.e. protective part located on the neck of the container.

- (16) depicts a front view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) on the neck of the container included in the lock located on the protective tape of the cork. This is opposed to the detail (2) in FIG. 1, where the strip with protrusions is located on the protective tape of the plug and the lock is located on the neck of the container.

- (17) depicts a front view of the cork in its final position on the neck of the container in the closed position with the introduction of the protective part (strip with protrusions) into the lock. This is opposed to the detail (5) in FIG. 1, so that the movable part is a lock, and the stationary part is a strip with protrusions in the neck of the container. Thus, the lock engages with the strip with protrusions in contrast to the part (5) in FIG. 1, where the strip with protrusions is movable and enters the lock mounted on the neck of the container.

- (18) depicts a front view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) on the neck of the container.

- (19) depicts a side view of a protective part (strip with protrusions) located on the neck of the container.

- In FIG. Figure 4 shows a method for capping a bottle designed to seal with another form of the strip with protrusions in a protective tape located on the neck of the bottle and by changing the location of the lock, since in this case it is located on the cork. Examples of the indicated numbering will be described later:

- (20) depicts a front view of the lock on a protective tape in a plug engaged with a strip with protrusions, i.e. a protective part located on the neck of the container.

- (21) depicts a front view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) on the neck of the container included in the lock located on the protective tape of the cork. There is a simple difference in the strip with the protrusions, i.e. a protective part located on the protective tape in the cork. The difference lies in the location of the grooves (26) located not on the sides of the strip with protrusions (protective part), as in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, and located on the back side. The same applies to the lock, where the location of the grooves (26) is changed in accordance with its change in the protective part (strip with protrusions) included in the lock.

- (22) depicts a front view of the cork in the final position on the neck of the container in the closed position when the protective part (strip with protrusions) of the lock enters, so that the lock is a movable part and the strip with protrusions in the neck of the reservoir is a fixed part.

- (23) depicts a front view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) located on the neck of the container.

- (24) depicts a side view of the protective part (strip with protrusions) located on the neck of the container.

The protective part (strip with protrusions) (1, 3) shown in FIG. 1 has an arrow shape. It is attached to the protective tape located in the cork from its left edge, and the rest of the part is disconnected from the protective tape. So she enters the opposite security lock on the neck of the tank without the possibility of exit. Thus, it is possible to achieve the desired goal of connecting two bodies (cork and neck of the container), so that they become one or two integral parts until the cork or both parts are damaged, which is the purpose of this invention.

The protrusion strip contains movable parts such as protrusions that fold when inserted into the lock and then open inside it to prevent the strip with protrusions from escaping without cutting and breaking the protective tape. Moreover, such protrusions or moving parts of the strip with protrusions are located on the sides.

However, the protective part (strip with protrusions) (8, 10) shown in FIG. 2, has a different shape, together with the corresponding difference in the shape of the lock in the neck of the container.

The difference is that the strips with protrusions, i.e. movable parts providing cork closure with the neck of the container are located behind the strip with protrusions, not on the sides. But they have the same functions, obtained in a different way, and they can have different forms. Nevertheless, they all achieve the same goal of providing absolute closure.

The castle (2, 4) shown in FIG. 1, is located on the neck of the container, which is a part that engages with a strip with protrusions. It shows how much she entered when moving in a one-way direction without the possibility of exit. Thus, the cutting and violation of the protective tape in the plug occurs when it is opened.

The lock (9, 11) shown in FIG. 2, is located on the neck of the container and engages with a strip with protrusions in a different shape corresponding to the shape of the strip with protrusions, different from that shown in Fig. (1, 3).

Using the joining and engaging method, a tight closure can be achieved, as shown in FIG. 1. This figure also shows the final shape when capping (5) and the way the strip with protrusions enters the castle at the final stages. Achieving safe capping is ensured by the entry of the strip with the tabs into the lock in an irreversible manner. The protective tape of the cork will be cut or damaged when opening the container. These parts cannot be separated in any way, provided that the plug is not damaged and the protective tape is not cut, since it cannot be reached, since it is located between the wall of the plug and the wall of the neck of the container.

The present invention discloses a closure method using a protective part (strip with protrusions) included in the lock and providing product safety and protection against opening, as required. The protective part has two different shapes. The strip with the protrusions may have a different location: one on the protective tape and the other on the neck of the container, as shown in FIG. 3, so that it is located on the neck (16) of the container, with its rear end attached to the neck of the container, and its front part is separated from the neck of the container, so that it can enter the lock located on the protective tape located on the cork.

Claims (3)
