Description
- The invention relates to a security capsule with a breakable reservoir and cutter.
- The prior art comprise packs, both single-dose and multi-dose, which comprise a container, containing a liquid, on which is mounted a closing capsule, of various types; a reservoir is arranged internally of the closing capsule, provided with a breakable bottom, internally of which there is a cutter element which following a pressure exerted thereon causes the breakage of the breakable bottom. A substance is contained in the reservoir, in general powder or granules, which on breaking the breakable bottom of the reservoir, falls into the container and is dissolved in the liquid contained in the container. In this way the desired solution is prepared at moment of use.
- At times it happens that the user, perhaps distracted or not familiar with the correct use of these capsules, removes the capsule from the container, or removes the cutting element from the reservoir, without the reservoir's having been broken and thus without the substance contained in the reservoir entering the container and dissolving in the liquid to give rise to the desired solution.
- Both these manoeuvres lead to considerable drawbacks: if the capsule is removed from the container, the user drinks only the solvent without obtaining any of the effects desired by the administration of the solution; if the cutting element is removed from the reservoir the powders contained within, apart from degrading on coming into contact with the air, can be dispersed and in any case it is hard to subsequently insert them in the container.
- The aim of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks by providing a capsule which enables the known-type capsules to be used, and which does not enable the container to be opened before the powders contained in the reservoir are introduced into the container.
- An advantage of the present invention is that it enables use of the capsule by simple rotating movements.
- A further advantages of the present invention is to provide a capsule with a reservoir which is easy and simple to use.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will better emerge from the detailed description that follows of an embodiment of the capsule with the reservoir of the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying figures of the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the single pieces which make up the capsule of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the pieces, partially assembled, which make up the capsule of the invention; -
FIG. 3 is a vertical-elevation section of the capsule of the invention, mounted on the mouth of a container, in the upper position A thereof; -
FIG. 4 is a detail, in enlarged scale, of the capsule ofFIG. 3 ; -
FIG. 5 is a vertical-elevation section of the capsule of the invention, mounted on the mouth of a container, in its lower position B; -
FIG. 6 is a vertical-elevation section of the capsule of the invention, unscrewed from the mouth of a container. - For the sake of clarity, note that the positions indicated in the description as “upper—high” and “lower—low”, attributed to various elements of the capsule relate to a normal positioning of the capsule itself above a container in an erect position resting with the bottom thereof on an underlying plane.
- In the
FIG. 7 denotes the mouth of a container (not shown in its entirety) which is closed by a capsule 1 of the present type. The capsule, as almost all the known capsules of this type, exhibits a substantially cylindrical conformation. - A
reservoir 2 is associated to the capsule 1, in a way which will be more fully described herein below, whichreservoir 2 can contain substances, in particular powders or granules. This type of capsule, as with capsules of known type, is normally used for single-dose or multi-dose containers that are used to provide a solution of a substance contained in the reservoir, which immediately before use is made to fall, usually by force of gravity, into a solvent, generally a liquid solvent, contained in the container. The fall of the substance into the solvent is caused by the breakage of a breakable bottom of thereservoir 2 obtained, as in known-type capsules, by means of acutter 3 which is normally constituted by a superiorly-closed cylindrical element having a fluted bottom which can be opened by pressing on the bottom of the reservoir and breaking the bottom open. The cutter occupies a large part of the internal space of the reservoir, so that often the cutter itself acts as a reservoir for at least a part of the substances contained. Also in known-type applications, the cutter is snugly inserted in the reservoir and can further be provided with a stop which inserts in a cavity of the reservoir and which makes the cutter difficult to extract completely from the reservoir. - The capsule 1 of the invention comprises a
closing cap 4 of themouth 7 of the container which contains the solvent; thecap 4 is fixed on the mouth of the container by a threaded coupling; the connection is removable such as to enable both screwing-on of the capsule on the container during assembly or closure after first use thereof, and opening of the container once the liquid-substance solution has been obtained. Thecap 4 is normally made of an elastically-deformable plastic material. - The
reservoir 2 is afforded in the cap, thereservoir 2 developing towards the inside of the container starting from the upper surface of the cap. Thereservoir 2 is preferably made by moulding in a single piece with the cap itself. When the cap is screwed onto the mouth of the container, the upper surface thereof strikes against the upper part of themouth 7 of the container to define the maximum screwed-up position of the cap on the mouth. Thecap 4 is further normally provided with an internal stop, visible in the figures, which inserts in the mouth of the container to better fix the positioning of the cap on the container itself, and to guarantee sealing thereof. Thecutter 3 is a separate part and is inserted in thereservoir 2 such that the upper wall thereof extends upwards with respect to the upper surface of thecap 4. - The capsule further comprises a
closing cover 5 which is provided with asecurity strip 6 connected to the lower part thereof, with an easy-break connection. The cover is normally made of a not-greatly-deformable plastic material. The cover is associated to thecap 4 such as to make the cap inaccessible from the outside and such as to press, following a downwards translation, on the upper wall of thecutter 3. Theclosing cover 5 is normally, with the capsule whole, in an upper position A (shown inFIG. 3 ) in which the security strip is whole and the lower surface of thestrip 6 is in contact with the lower part of thecap 4. In this position the internal wall of thecover 5 is not in contact with the upper wall of thecutter 3. When the security strip breached theclosing cover 5 can translate with respect to thecap 4 and in an axial direction, between the upper position A and a lower position B (illustrated inFIG. 5 ) in which the security strip has been removed and the lower surface of thecover 5 is in contact with the lower part of thecap 4; during this translation, the internal wall of thecover 5 comes into contact with the upper wall of thecutter 3. - A threaded coupling is provided between the
cap 4 and thecover 5, which coupling comprises a threadedzone 4 d, which is fashioned on the external wall of thecap 4, and comprises at least a tract ofthread 5 d fashioned on the internal wall of thecover 5. This tract ofthread 5 d has further functions, which will be better described herein below. - Two or three tracts of
thread 5 d are advantageously fashioned, which are arranged in such a way as not to interfere with the threadedzone 4 d when the cover is in the position A and such as to enter into gripping contact with the threadedzone 4 d when thesecurity strip 6 is removed and the cover is slightly lowered down on the cap. - For reasons which will better emerge during the course of the following description, the easy-break connection between the
security strip 6 and theclosing cover 5, a connection which as usually happens develops along a circumferential line which exhibits connecting struts between the cover and the strip, exhibits, on at least a part thereof, a frontally-engaging profile 56, teeth of which are fashioned partly on thecover 5 and partly on thestrip 6; in other words the connecting line is not a circumference but, at least in some tracts thereof, exhibits square arches which define, on the cover and on the strip, teeth and recesses of thefrontal engagement 56. - The capsule of the invention comprises first connecting means, between the
cover 5 and thecap 4, which, when thestrip 6 is whole or when the capsule has not yet been opened for the first time, prevent axially-directed translation between the cover and the cap. In the illustrated embodiment these first connecting means comprise a firstannular meeting plane 6 a which is fashioned inferiorly on thesecurity strip 6; when the capsule is in its upper position A, this firstannular plane 6 a rests on a secondannular meeting plane 4 a which is fashioned externally of thecap 4 and prevents any further descent of the cover with respect to the cap, but would not prevent its rising; in order to prevent the rising of the cover with respect to the cap, i.e. totally preventing the reciprocal movements of axial translation of the two elements, the first means further comprise anannular projection 4 e, which is fashioned superiorly on thecap 4, below which, when the capsule is in the position A thereof, an internalannular projection 5 d is arranged, fashioned internally of thecover 5. This first means does not however prevent rotation between the two elements. - Preferably, as happens in the illustrated embodiment in the figures, the internal
annular projection 5 d is represented by the tracts ofthread 5 d. There is, therefore, a zone on thecap 4 between theannular projection 4 e and the threadedzone 4 d in which theelements 5 d are arranged when the capsule is whole. Theseelements 5 d therefore have a double function: together with theprojection 4 e they prevent the cover from rising with respect to the cap when the capsule is whole, while together with the threadedzone 4 d they allow the screwing of the cover onto the cap when thesecurity strip 6 is removed. - The capsule of the invention further comprises second connecting means, located between the
cover 5 and thecap 4, which when the capsule is whole render the cover and the cap solid in rotation in the screwing direction of thecap 4 onto themouth 2, leaving them free in rotation in the unscrewing direction. In the illustrated embodiment the second connecting means comprise a plurality offirst projections 4 b which have a saw-tooth section and which are arranged, in a radial direction, on the upper surface of the secondannular meeting plane 4 a afforded externally of thecap 4. Thefirst projections 4 b couple with a plurality ofsecond projections 6 b also having saw-tooth shaped teeth, which are arranged in a radial direction on the lower surface of the firstannular meeting plane 6 a, fashioned inferiorly on thesecurity strip 6. The sections of the first and second projections have opposite inclinations such that the projections engage with one another during the stage of screwing-on of the cover on the cap and slide with respect to one another during the stage of unscrewing the cover from the cap. - The capsule of the invention further comprises third connecting means which render the cover and the cap solid in rotation in any direction when the cover is in the lower position B thereof.
- In the illustrated embodiment the third connecting means comprise a first
cogged crown 5 c, which is fashioned on the internal wall of thecover 5, which engages in a secondcogged crown 4 c, fashioned superiorly of thecap 4, when thecover 5 is in the lower position B. Preferably, as shown in the figures, thesecond crown 4 c is fashioned on theannular projection 4 e; thefirst crown 5 c is arranged, internally of thecover 5, in a position such as not to interfere with thesecond crown 4 c when the capsule is whole. - In other words, the
crowns - The use of the capsule is as described herein below.
- The capsule 1, which as mentioned is realised in three distinct pieces, is assembled by the constructor who inserts the
cutter 3 containing the substance to be mixed with the contents of the container on which the capsule will be applied in thereservoir 2. Thecap 4 is then covered with thecover 5; this operation, performed by a press-fitting, is possible thanks to the elastic deformability of the cap which can deform in a radial direction and allow passage of theannular projections 5 d, present internally of the cover, over theannular projection 4 c present on thecap 4. - The insertion of the
cover 5 on thecap 4 is complete when themeeting plane 6 a, fashioned on the security strip, goes into contact with themeeting plane 4 a afforded on thecap 4; the capsule 1 is then in the first position denoted by A in the figures. - In this conformation the
cover 5 completely covers thecap 4. Worthy of note is the fact that during the assembly stage between the cap and the cutter, the substance to be mixed can be container, according to the type of machine used for the packaging, either in the cutter or in the reservoir. - Thus assembled, the capsule is inserted on the mouth of the container by screwing; this operation is done by gripping, generally using automatic machines, the cover of the capsule and rotating the cover, and consequently the cap which is solid in rotation with the cover thanks to the presence of the
sawtooth projections profile 56, along the easy-break connection between thecover 5 and thestrip 6, prevents accidental breakage of the easy-break connection during the stage of screwing of the capsule onto the container. - The whole container-capsule pack, thus assembled, is ready for use. In this conformation the capsule is in the upper position A (
FIG. 3 ) and has the security strip intact, signalling that the assembly has never been opened. The only accessible part of the capsule is the cover, and it is only by acting on the cover that the following operations can be performed; in this position it is not possible to unscrew the capsule as the cap is not solid in unscrewing rotation with the cover; it is also not possible to perform a further screwing of the capsule inasmuch as the cap strikes against the mouth of the container; finally, an axial translation of the cover with respect to the cap is not possible as this operation, thanks to the presence of the first connecting means, can be done only by breaking the security strip and thus making it obvious that the capsule has been opened. The presence of the frontally-engagingprofile 56 further prevents the user from inadvertently breaking the easy-break connection by forcing a possible screwing movement of the cover on the cap which, in the absence of thefrontal engagement 56, would cause rupture between theconnection 5 and thestrip 6. - At moment of use the security strip is broken, i.e. it is removed in a known way, enabling a downwards translation of the cover with respect to the cap. In this situation too it is not possible, thanks to the presence of the
annular projections - Thus cover 5 is therefore pushed slightly downwards up to inserting the tracts of
thread 5 d on the threadedzone 4 d; the further descent of the cover on the cap is done by screwing the cover on the cap, made possible by the threaded coupling between the two elements. This movement, which brings the capsule into its lower position B (FIG. 5 ), causes the descent of the cutter with respect to the reservoir, the breakage of the bottom of the reservoir and the consequent falling into the container of the substance contained in the reservoir. Note that with respect to a pressing movement, the rotation movement causing the breaking of the bottom of the reservoir is much easier for the user. Note also that in order to cause the descent of the container onto the cap, a screwing movement has been described, evidently obtained with a right-wise thread coupling; should a lowering of the container on the cap using an unscrewing direction be required, it will be necessary to adopt a left-wise thread coupling between the container and the cap. - This lowering movement of the container on the cap also brings the
crown 5 c to engage with thecrown 4 c and thus solidly engages the cover and the cap in rotation; cover and cap are therefore solid in axial translation inasmuch as the threaded coupling existing between the cover and the cap does not permit an axial translation by raising between the two elements. It is thus possible to unscrew the cover, and the cap which is solid in rotation therewith, and open the container to gain access to the contents thereof. - With the capsule of the invention it is not possible to open the container without the mixing of the substance contained in the reservoir with the contents of the container having taken place; nor is it possible to extract the cutter from the reservoir in order to accede to the contents of the reservoir, without causing the breakage of the security strip and in any case the visible deformation of the capsule. The capsule, in its position B can, finally, be used as a normal screw-cap, for re-closing the container if the container is of the multidose type.
