Cap for Containers with Improved Sealing

Abstract

A cap for containers, comprising a cylindrical body comprising a cylindrical skirt and a rib on the inner face thereof, where the cylindrical skirt and the rib are sized for contacting the inner face of the neck of the container and creating at least two sealing areas.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Field of the Disclosure[0001]The present disclosure belongs to the field of closure elements for containers, and more specifically caps for containers with a leaktight closure. An object of the disclosure is to therefore provide a cap for containers capable of assuring the sealing of the content.[0002]Another object of the disclosure is also to provide a cap for containers capable of improving tightness with the neck of the container, such that the resistance to pressures or damage sustained during transport is improved.[0003]Another object of the disclosure is also to provide a cap for containers capable of improving stability against the risk of sliding and seal loss during palletization, storage or horizontal transport operations.2. Discussion of the Background Art[0004]In the field of caps for containers, those caps with a contact surface provided for being coupled to the neck of a container and preserving its content are known.[0005]Generally, caps of this type use...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a cap for containers that provides better sealing and prevents dust and foreign objects from entering the container. The cap has a cylindrical body with a skirt and rib that create at least two sealing areas when contacted with the inner face of the container's neck. The skirt also has a protuberance on its outer edge for easier contact with the container. The cap's inner face has two attachment points, and in some embodiments it is made up of two superimposed parts. The cap's design prevents loss and only requires a simple movement to close the container. Overall, the cap improves the sealing of containers and ensures safety and stability during transportation and storage.

Problems solved by technology

However, caps of this type have a series of drawbacks.

These notably include, among others, the fact that these caps often close the container through the outer side of the neck thereof and the presence of small burrs causes the sealing to be inadequate.

Likewise, even starting from an initial leaktight situation, due to the configuration thereof, it is common for storage or transport operations to cause a critical sealing deformation, even giving rise to leakages.
