Benefits of technology

The closure has a spout, plug, and cap. This invention allows for the now-accessible spout to be easily identified because its internal configuration has changed. The change is made by adjusting the position of an annular band between the plug and cap. This makes it easy to confirm the first opening of the closure.

Problems solved by technology

If the bottle closure evidences the first opening, the customer receiving the fraudulently refilled bottle is aware of the fraud.
The drawback of such closures is that the elements that are accessible from the outside can be tampered such that attempts can be made to restore the closure to its state before the first opening.
Another drawback of such closures is that the breakable element is an element that is detached and must be disposed of.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The present invention relates to a closure for bottles with means for evidencing a first use in nominal conditions. The closure is intended for being located on the mouth of the bottle, wherein the bottle and the mouth thereof define a longitudinal axis X-X′ that is coaxial with the main axis of symmetry of the closure. For this reason, the longitudinal axis X-X′ is also the axis along which the closure extends and axial displacements are produced in the parts that are screwed together and unscrewed from one another.

[0014]Likewise, given that a bottle has a base intended for resting on a horizontal surface and a mouth that is arranged on the opposite side and located in the upper portion when the bottle rests on said base, the relative terms “lower” and “upper” can be used in an absolute manner in relation to the closure because when the closure is operatively fitted on the bottle, the longitudinal direction X-X′ is a vertical axis. Nevertheless, the upper portion of the closu...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a closure for bottles with means for evidencing a first use when it is in nominal conditions, i.e., fitted on the mouth of the bottle. The closure contains at least one spout (5), a plug (6) of the spout and a cap (3). The present invention allows evidencing the first opening of the closure due to the internal configuration of the closure changing. This change modifies the internal configuration and allows one or more visual changes in the device. The change in the internal configuration is based on modifying the position of an annular band (7) arranged between the plug and cap.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a closure for bottles with means for evidencing a first use when it is in nominal conditions, i.e., fitted on the mouth of the bottle.[0002]The closure contains at least one spout, a plug of the spout and a cap. The present invention allows evidencing the first opening of the closure due to the internal configuration of the closure changing. This change modifies the internal configuration and allows one or more visual changes in the device. The change in the internal configuration is based on modifying the position of an annular band arranged between the plug and the cap.[0003]If the invention incorporates windows or means for visual access to the inner portion of the closure, then after the first opening, the change in position of the annular band is visually accessible and shows a first way of evidencing the first opening.[0004]If the invention makes use of an annular band which is placed between the cap and the plug, s...
