Description

DESCRIPTION of the patent for industrial invention entitled: “DOSING CAP FOR BOTTLE” of SAN BENEDETTO MINERAL WATER SPA of Italian nationality with headquarters: VIALE KENNEDY, 65 30037 SCORZE' (VE) Inventor: ZOPPAS Enrico *** *** *** The present invention relates to a measuring cap for bottles and a bottle including a measuring cap. The invention relates in particular to a measuring cap which is structured in such a way as to remain permanently tied or joined to a bottle and includes a casing internal dispenser containing an active substance in powder form which, during the first opening of the measuring cap, is automatically opened to pour the active substance into the liquid drink present in the bottle so as to obtain a liquid mixture for food use consisting of liquid drink with added active substance poured; to which the following discussion will make explicit reference without for this reason, losing in generality. As is known, in recent years, it has become very widespread especially in the sports and / or wellness sector, consumption of so-called additive-containing food drinks, i.e. drinks containing active substances, such as, for example, substances based on: probiotics, vitamins, proteins, antioxidants or vegetable additives, and similar. In the past, food drinks with added ingredients mentioned were produced and marketed in the form completely liquid, i.e. already mixed with the substances active in pre-packaged beverage bottles. A technical problem with additive-containing food drinks completely liquid, i.e. mixed during the production, is represented by the fact that the contact of the active substances with the liquid exposes the latter to degradation over time therefore affects the effects of the substance in the drink. It often happened that the moment of consumption of the additive drink by of the user, the active substance was partially or completely degraded with the consequence of reducing or cancel the effect of the requested substance by the user. In order to overcome this technical problem, I am solutions have been devised that involve the use of so-called “dosing” caps which are specifically structured to keep the active substance in powder form stored inside them separately from a beverage- liquid base contained in the pre-packaged bottle, and of then pour the active substance in powder form into the base drink to then mix them when using them for the first time of the bottle by the user. Some measuring caps are coupled on the neck of the bottle body containing the base drink, and are structured in such a way as to contain a certain amount of active substances in powder form inside a chamber separated from the liquid beverage contained in the body- bottle. The cap is generally structured in such a way to cause the chamber to open and the pouring of the active substance in powder form in the body's liquid drink- bottle below. A technical problem with the measuring caps is represented from the fact that they are unsuitable for maintaining all the components which compose them “tied” to the neck of the bottle. Some measuring caps are in fact generally equipped with a thin frangible membrane (foil) of containment and separation of the active substance, and a rupture organ mounted movably on the cap, which is moved axially by the user through pressure manual from top to bottom to break the membrane underlying and cause the active substance to pour into powder in the drink-base. In some known solutions the breaking organ comprises a vertical, axially movable rod, which protrudes partially above the cap with an external section of actuation, which in use is pressed by the user downwards to open the frangible membrane underneath. In the bottle packaging phase, the external manual operation section, being an element intended for use in contact with the beverage, is subjected to sterilization and protected by a removable hood fitted over the cap to cover and maintain the sterilization condition intact external section itself. The need to use the protective cap additional in the cap is particularly inconvenient in how much the complexity of the cap and the costs of construction and assembly of the same, even in taking into account the regulations that provide for the maintenance all the components of the cork attached to the neck of the bottle. The thin, breakable membrane of known corks is also particularly exposed to damage and breakage, especially during transport and / or assembly operations cork on the bottle. Also, in use, the membrane when opened from the breaking organ tends to prevent the complete discharging the powdered substance into the base drink inconveniently keeping a residual part of it. Since in known caps, the membrane is housed along the duct of the cap which in use is passed through by the additive drink, it often happens that the residues in dust of the active substance are dragged and therefore drunk by the user in an unmixed condition causing an unpleasant condition for him. The Applicant then conducted a study in-depth study aimed at identifying a a tied measuring cap that at least solves the technical problems described above. The object of the present invention is therefore that of provide a solution that allows you to achieve at least the above-mentioned objective.

Conveniently the 30 openings have a shape that is it gradually widens starting from the tip of the body perforator 29 towards the underlying base of the cone so so as to facilitate the passage of the active substance into SA powder during membrane opening 12. According to a preferred embodiment shown in the Figures 2, 3, 7, 11 12-15, the openings 30 have a shape triangular oriented with one vertex pointing towards the tip of the drilling body 29. According to a preferred embodiment shown in the Figures 7, 8, 12-15, the breaking organ 7 further comprises a tubular jacket 31 that extends coaxially to the axis A is interposed between the perforator body 29 and the portion tubular 9 and has a connected lower end circumferentially to the circular edge of the base of the body perforator 29 via an annular portion 34. According to a preferred embodiment exemplary shown in Figures 4-6, the shirt tubular 31 has an internal surface on which a perimeter edge 35 runs which delimits the opening 23 of the cup body 24, when the latter moves axially from the rest position to the position of discharge. The lower perimeter edge 35 of the cup body 24 is placed in contact with the annular portion 34 when the dosing casing 6 reaches the discharge position. According to a preferred embodiment exemplary shown in Figures 12-14, the shirt tubular 31 has a section orthogonal to the circular axis A and delimits with the internal circular surface of the portion tubular 9 an internal channel 32 of circular shape communicating with the containment body 3 below. Referring to Figure 12-14, the tubular jacket 31 also features its upper perimeter edge internally connected to the lower circular edge of the tubular portion 10 through a series of spokes 36 which they delimit the openings between themselves and with the base body 36a passers-by that connect the channel with fluid interior 32 with the tubular portion 10. According to a preferred embodiment exemplary shown in Figures 4-6, the portion ring 34 comprises spreading fins 37 which are arranged along the internal annular edge of the portion annular 34. The spreading wings 37 are structured in so as to cooperate with the cup body 24 to promote conveniently the opening of the flaps 12a that are formed from the rupture of the membrane 12 towards the internal surface of the cup body 24. The 37 spreading wings can be perforated that is, they can conveniently present openings through holes 37a. The through openings 37a have the effect technician to facilitate the discharge from the measuring cap 4 of the residues of sanitizing liquid. Referring to Figure 7, the tubular jacket 31 It may have grooves on the internal surface 45 which define drainage channels for liquid residues sanitizing. Preferably the 45 grooves can be arranged angularly spaced around the axis A and extend approximately parallel to axis A.

Even more preferably, the groove 45 may have a lower end adjacent to the through opening obtained in a spreading flap 37. According to a preferred embodiment exemplary shown in Figure 11, the wall circular section of the tubular portion 10 is provided with a section toothed 38 which extends over an arc of circumference on the external surface of the wall itself and is coupled to a toothed section 39 extending on the inner surface of the circular wall of the lid 8 along a semicircle. The teeth of the toothed section 38 and the teeth of the toothed section 39 are oriented to mesh with each other so as to counteract the rotation of the cover 8 around to the A axis in a direction D2 opposite to the direction D1 pre-established. Conveniently, the toothed section 38 extends along a section of the circumference of the external surface of the wall of the tubular portion 10 at of the lower end of the same. Conveniently, the toothed section 39 extends along a semicircle of the internal surface of the circular wall of the cover 8. Conveniently, the toothed section 39 is extends onto the inner annular surface of the annular seal 13. According to a preferred embodiment exemplary shown in Figures 5 and 6, the portion tubular 10 also features on the external surface of the circular wall a tooth 40 which is arranged in correspondence of the end of the intermediate ring 43 next to of the opening 44 and is configured in such a way as to interfere with tooth 8b of cap 14 during rotation of the lid tied 8 around axis A. In use the rotation of the lid tied 8 around the axis A is blocked when tooth 8b is positioned against tooth 40. According to an advantageous embodiment, the body- base 5 and lid 8 can be made in transparent material. According to a convenient shape realization, the dosing casing 6 can be made made of non-transparent material so as to be visible from the outside (From the user) through the base body 5 and / or through the lid 8. Preferably, the external surface of the dosing casing 6 can be at least partially treated so as to have at least one color. More preferably, the color of the casing dispenser 6 can be conveniently indicative of the active substance SA in powder form contained in the casing dispenser 6 itself. Preferably, alternatively and / or in addition, the measuring container 6 may contain symbols and / or icons. Symbols and / or icons may be indicative of the active substance SA in powder contained in the measuring container. The operation of the measuring cap 4 is as follows. In following the packaging of bottle 1 and before its use, the tied lid 8 is closed, i.e. the bridges breakables 22 are intact and connect the cap 14 to the annular seal 13, the dosing casing 6 is in the position of rest and contains the active substance in powder form SA, the membrane 12 is intact and closes the opening 23 of the body cup 24, and the containment body 3 contains the drink liquid BB base. In this condition, the cap 14 is locked in the closed position both by tooth 8b held axially from the intermediate ring 43 and from the mechanical interference of the dosing casing 6 on the semicircular cam walls 18. The cap 14 can therefore not be opened and rotated around the B axis. Furthermore, in this condition, the cap 14 cannot be rotated around axis A in the direction D2 as this rotation is counteracted by the toothed sections 38 and 39. The user then rotates the container 8 in the direction D1 allowed by the structure of the toothed sections 38 and 39 until tooth 8b is positioned against the stop tooth 40 which interrupts the rotation and at the same time aligns axially the tooth 8b with the opening 44. During rotation, container 8 exerts, via the actuator mechanism 16, a push towards the low on the dosing casing 6, which moves from the rest position to the unload position in which the membrane 12 moving impacts against the rupture organ 7 stop. When the membrane 12 moves it arranges itself in hit against the breaking organ 7, meets the body perforator 29 which breaks it thus opening the cup body 24. The opening of the cup body 24 causes the pouring of the active substance in powder form in container 3 below. In particular, the membrane 12 is arranged in struck against the perforator body 29 and opens in flaps 12a which are dragged down by the cup body 24 and raised by the 37 spreading wings which favor the opening of the cup body 24 and the unloading of the active substance SA. At this stage, lid 8 is still closed and the user can shake bottle 1 to mix the active substance SA with the liquid base drink BB. After mixing, the user can open the lid 14 separating it from the annular seal 13. In in particular, at this stage, the dosing casing 6 is lowered and no longer intercepts the semicircular walls cam 18 of cap 14 and tooth 8b is aligned with the opening 44 and can then pass through the intermediate ring 43 thus allowing free rotation of the hood 14 around the axis A and therefore the opening of bottle 1. The advantages of the measuring cap described above are: following. First, the level of protection is increased of the membrane from accidental breakages and openings. The membrane it is in fact inside the measuring cap and is protected from the breaking organ 7 which forms underneath it a rigid protective wall. In particular, during the handling and transport of the cork the breaking organ protects the internal membrane. Complete discharge of the waste is also guaranteed. active substance contained in the dosing container. displacement of the dosing casing against the control organ fixed break increases the effectiveness of the break and therefore of membrane opening. Furthermore, the use of fins spreaders increase the spreading of the open flaps of the broken membrane ensuring complete discharge of the active substance. In addition, the unpleasant condition for is reduced the user of drinking the beverage with residues of substance dragged by the drink while crossing of the dosing envelope. In the solution described above the measuring cup is not passed through by the drink while drinking. It is highlighted that the drink contained in the container body passes through the internal channel 32 as, centrally, the cup body in the discharge position is presents itself in contact with the annular portion so as to obstruct the passage of the drink. In addition, the safety of the bottle. In fact, the measuring cap guarantees the retaining the measuring container inside it eliminating the risk of it becoming uncoupled from the body base and is then swallowed by the user. The guides and the relevant protruding sections ensure entrapment of the dosing envelope from the discharge position. In addition, the measuring cap is structured for accompany the user in the correct execution of the phases of actuation of the measuring cap. The presence of the lines toothed ensures that the user rotates the lid in the correct direction. The presence of the stop tooth and of the opening 44 in the intermediate ring 43 ensure that the hood can only be opened when it has been rotated in the correct angular position, that is, only when the dosing casing 6 has reached the discharge position. It should be noted that the measuring cap is structured in such a way such as to prevent the hood from opening before the exhaust. Furthermore, the semicircular cam walls that extend into the base body and ensure that the lid when the dosing casing is in the position rest. An accidental opening of the hood before the discharge of the active substance would result in the use unpleasantness of the drink without additives of the user. Furthermore, the environmental impact of the cap is reduced. dispenser as a tied lid is used.
