Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tear-off anti-tamper seal able to be fitted to stopper-type closing members mounted on the open end of the neck of a container in the form of a bottle and able to indicate, when torn, that the container has been opened for the first time, comprising a tubular body with an annular top flange directed towards the inside of the body and with a sleeve portion which extends axially from the said flange along the neck of the container, means for fixing the said sleeve portion to the neck of the container, preventing relative axial movements, means for also preventing relative angular movements of said sleeve portion and the neck of the container, a circumferential weakening line formed on the said sleeve portion, a pair of weakening lines which extend axially along the said sleeve portion of the tubular body and are situated in the zone between the said top flange and the said circumferential weakening line, said axial lines defining on the tubular body two
  • the axial weakening lines which define between them the zone which is to be torn in order to remove the seal from the stopper-type closing members of the bottle, have cuts which are formed in the thickness of the top flange and the wall of the tubular body and which extend only over a short distance from the top flange of the tubular body of the seal.
  • the circumferential weakening line intersects the axial lines with the result that, during opening producing destruction of the seal, the pulling force exerted on the tear-off tongue causes the separation of the zone of smaller extension situated between the axial lines, as far as the circumferential line, from the remainder of the tubular body which instead remains positioned on the closing members.
  • the removal of this additional part of the tubular body of the seal therefore requires a further operation to be performed either using the fingers or using an implement so as to cause breakage along the weakened circumferential line.
  • the seal once broken, consists of two separate parts, one part of which, i.e. that left attached to the tongue, remains within the user's fingers and may therefore be easily thrown away into a bin, while the other part, which overall also is larger in size, ends up falling freely to the ground and needs to be picked up.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks encountered in the anti-tamper seals of the prior art and aims to solve the problem of breaking and removing the seal from the bottle closing members completely, as one piece, by means of the pulling force exerted on the tear-off tongue.
  • tubular body of the anti-tamper seal according to the invention is indicated overall by 1.
  • top flange 2 directed radially towards the inside of the tubular body and a sleeve-like portion 3.
  • the latter extends, starting from the flange 2, axially along the neck 4 of a container, partially indicated by 5, in the form of a bottle.
  • the opening 6 of the neck 4 is provided with stopper-type closing members which may or may not have conventional valve-like members for allowing pouring of the product contained inside the bottle, usually, a high-quality liqueur and for preventing the introduction of another - possibly imitation - product.
  • the sleeve portion 3 of the tubular body 1 is provided, internally, with means for fixing said portion to the neck 4 and preventing relative axial movements.
  • These means consist of an annular lip 7, the functional features of which are well known to persons skilled in the art and which is intended to engage underneath the shoulder of the neck 4.
  • the same sleeve portion 3 of the tubular body 1 is also provided with means able to prevent relative angular movements of the neck 4 and the sleeve portion 3.
  • These additional means in the example shown, consist of axial ribs which are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the sleeve portion 3 and engage inside corresponding grooves 9 provided on the neck 4.
  • the inner wall of the tubular body 1 may also be provided, as in the example shown, with an annular edge 10 projecting radially inwards, for engagement with a component of the stopper-type closing members of the bottle.
  • this edge 10 engages with the shoulder 11 of a conventional pouring body 12 of the closure.
  • the tubular body 1 of the anti-tamper seal according to the invention comprises a circumferential weakening line indicated by 13. This conventionally consists of a plurality of incisions 14 which are spaced from each other by continuous parts 15.
  • the tubular body 1 is provided with a pair of axial weakening lines. These, in accordance with the invention, consist of a first cut 16 and a second cut 17 which are formed through the entire thickness of the wall of the tubular body, starting both from the flange 2 and extending axially along the sleeve portion towards the circumferential weakening line 13.
  • the first cut 16 extends from a zone close to the free edge 2a of the flange 2 until it reaches the vicinity of the circumferential line 13, leaving a bridge-piece P of material.
  • the first cut 16, with its end 16a stops at about 3/10 mm before the circumferential line 13.
  • the cut 17 which forms the second axial weakening line extends from a zone close to the free edge 2a of the top flange 2 until it reaches a point, on the sleeve portion 3, where its end 17a is situated at a level higher than that where the first cut 16 terminates with its end 16a, relative to the circumferential weakening line 13.
  • the axial distance L between the end 17a of the second cut 17 and the end 16a of the first cut 16 is about 6.5 mm.
  • the cuts 16 and 17 are provided with transverse connecting elements indicated by 16b and 17b, respectively.
  • These connecting elements may consist of portions of the free edge 2a of the flange 2.
  • the cuts 16 and 17 define, on the sleeve portion 3, in the section between the top flange 2 and the circumferential weakening line 13, a first perimetral zone 18 which has a circumferential extension less than that that of the second zone 19.
  • a tongue 20 is integral with the flange 2 and is connected to the latter in the perimetral zone 18 of smaller extension situated between the cuts 16 and 17.
  • the tongue 20 which extends radially towards the inside of the tubular body 1, forms the member for gripping by the user so as to perform tearing of the seal and achieve opening of the bottle 5 for the first time.
  • the tongue 20 may have a size and a form also different from that shown by way of example in the drawings and in particular it may be in the form of a ring.
  • the tearing action in accordance with the invention, produces firstly breakage of the elements 16b and 17b and then radial removal of the zone 18 from the underlying closing member and finally breakage of the bridge-piece P, if present. In this way the cut 16 eventually affects the circumferential weakening line.
  • Incisions with a reduced thickness or radial slits, indicated by 21, are provided on the flange 2 at predetermined intervals in order to facilitate deformation of the zone 19 during removal of the seal. Moreover, they make obvious the deformation of the seal and therefore prevent repositioning of the latter on the closure.
  • closure to which the anti-tamper seal according to the invention is applied may be of any nature, it being necessary to make, where necessary, only technical modifications which are within the competence of a person skilled in the art.
