AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a new type of bottle cap that is designed to be used on beverage bottles and containers. The cap has a reduced gauge, meaning it is made from a thinner material than traditional caps. This makes the cap stiffer and more resistant to bending or deformation. The cap can be opened using a lever or by twisting. The technical effect of this design is that it provides a more stable and secure bottle cap that can withstand pressure and impact, while still being easy to open and close.

Problems solved by technology

Corrugation strengthens materials.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 is an isometric side view illustration of a reduced gauge crown of the present invention. Crown 100 includes top portion 110 contiguous with recess 120 which terminates in panel 130. Skirt 140 downwardly extends from top 110. In some specific embodiments a flange extends obliquely from skirt 140. Alternating flutes 150 and lands 152 are formed on a circumferential portion of skirt 140. Crown 100, and other crowns shown in the figures, is shown as a pry-off type that is opened with a lever. The present invention also encompasses a twist-off type (not shown in the figures) that is opened by twisting, as will be understood by persons familiar with crown cap technology. Finally, crown 100 is suitable for use with pull tab type assemblies mounted to panel 130 with effective score lines embossed on crown 100. Such an embodiment of the crown 100 configured for use with such a pull tab is discussed below with reference to FIG. 5.

[0015]Panel 130 is recessed, that is, it is lower...

Abstract

A reduced gauged crown for a container opening includes a corrugated panel portion such that the corrugation strengthens the crown material and allows less material to be used for the crown than would be used for an uncorrugated bottle cap.
