Lid for glass bottles

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lid for glass bottles, preferably made of metal or any other type of suitable plastic material, comprising a body (1) with a skirt or external flange (2) that is segmented by conical slits, characterised in that said flange (2) comprises a plurality of longitudinal conical slits transverse to the axis of the lid and running around the periphery of the flange (2), designed to snugly fit over the external surface of the lip (4) of the neck (3) of the bottle to be sealed; the body (1) having been provided with a concentric V-shaped annular rib (5) which snugly fits against the internal contour of the mouth of the neck (3) of the bottle, which has a liner (7), said rib (5) defining an upwardly domed surface (6).

Description

[0001]The main object of the invention is a lid for glass bottles, preferably made of metal or any other type of suitable plastic material; it has the particularity of having a V-shaped rib which snugly fits against the internal contour of the mouth of the neck of a bottle, and which in turn has an upwardly domed surface on which pressure is exerted to facilitate the opening of said lid.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Currently there is a large variety of lids and / or caps for glass bottles which are preferably used to contain liquid refreshment beverages and the like.[0003]Among the most common caps providing the best results for hermetic closure are those referred to as “crown” caps, which are usually made of sheet metal and are adapted to the external contour of the lip corresponding to the mouth of the bottle, which adaptation is done by means of folds made on the lid itself when it is applied on the lip or mouth of the bottle.[0004]“Crown” caps of this type require a tool or op...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a new design of a bottle lid that is securely sealed to the bottle. The lid is attached to the mouth of the bottle using a lip and a concentric annular rib with a liner that fits snugly against the interior of the mouth, ensuring a tight seal. The lid can be easily opened by pressing on the upper surface, which causes the rib to deform and the external flange to fold back, separating the lid from the bottle. The technical effect of this design is that it provides a more effective and reliable seal for the bottle, ensuring that it is perfectly sealed and secure.

Problems solved by technology

“Crown” caps of this type require a tool or opener for removing the cap from the bottle, since manual handling which allows the opening cannot be carried out due precisely to the folds which wrap around the lower side part of the lip corresponding to the mouth of the bottle.

There are also caps or lids which are coupled to the neck of the bottle and are retained and fixed to said mouth through a ring, the ring needing to be pulled to open it, which is not easy and in most cases also needs a suitable tool.
