CLAIMS
[1 ] The closure adopted to the discharge direction of contents of the
container is characterized by the facts that its airtight installation for
the prevention of forgery is settled closely to the direction by using
the whole or partial forgery-proof materials, inside of the above
closure, if the upper cap is opened and the container is leaned to the
one side, the check valve which closes the vent, opens and the
contents are discharged, and if the above container is repositioned, the
check valve closes and maintains the airtight.
[2] The check valve, stated in above clause [1], is characterized by
the multiple structures.
[3] The upper side of the check valve, stated in above clause [1], is
characterized by the equipping with the countercurrent flow-proof
hole.
[4] The upper side of the check valve, stated in above clause [1], is
characterized by the equipping with the separate forgery-proof part
with the discharge route on its side.
[5] For the closure adopted to the discharge direction of contents of
the container, its airtight installation for the prevention of forgery is
settled closely to the direction by using the whole or partial forgery- proof materials, inside of the above closure, if the upper cap is opened
and the container is leaned to the one side, the countercurrent flow-
proof part closing the vent is structured to close the vent. The above
countercurrent flow-proof part is characterized by the whole or partial
covering of soft materials.
[6 ] The covering material used in the countercurrent flow-proof
part, stated in above clause [5], is characterized by silicon. |
TITLE
SECURITY CLOSURE FOR BOTTLES
TECHNICAL FIELD
[ 1] This invention is on the security closure for bottles. In detail, the
purpose of this invention is not to fill any contents arbitrarily and
illegally in the container, without destroying and removing the security
closure.
[2] Its another purpose is to stabilize the contents in the container
without being moved up and down when they are poured out of the
container.
Background Technologies
[3 ] The major matter of this invention is to exhaust the contents
from the container by opening the finished top closure and leaning the
container.
[ 4 ] Meanwhile, in order not to forge and alter the contents, the
technology to confirm whether the closure is used or not with the
naked eye by painting special materials has been used. However, it
has difficulties to be applied to the mass production line due to its
particular working conditions.
[5] In addition, the technologies such as bar code or hologram are
impossible to basically defend the forgery and alteration of the
contents.
[ 6 ] The technology (PCT/EP1999/05236) puts beads inside the
closure to adjust the contents, and if any illegal materials to be put into
the container, it gets the beads to block the discharge hole. However it
is not possible to fully defend the forgery and alteration of the
contents.
[ 7 ] The difficulties mentioned above have the evil practices that
when the container is pressured from the upper direction or leaned
with pressure, there is the gap between the beads(balls) and the
discharge hole and the contents would be flowed via the gap.
[ 8 ] On the other hand, for confirming the forgery and alteration,
there is another technology that if the closure is opened, the poise will
be fallen down. Fundamentally, it has not prevented the illegal filling of
contents.
[9] Additionally, there is another technology that if the closure is
opened, the upper part of the closure is opened by the trigger of the
spout. But it has some problems involved in the commercialization and
airtight.
Detailed Descriptions of Invention
Technical Problems
[ 10] The basic purpose of this invention is to prevent the forgery
and alteration of contents in the container.
[ 11] Another purpose of this invention is to stabilize the exhaust of
the contents in the container.
How to Technically Solve the Problems
[ 12] The security closure invented or developed by this invention
under the intension of accomplishing above goals, consists of primarily
the establishment of the forgery-proof part, in order not to re-fill the
contents via the upper part of the closure.
[13] At least, there should be more than one one-way direction check
valve by which it is possible to discharge but not to re-fill.
[14] The upper part of check valve stated above is equipped with
the countercurrent flow-proof hole which moves freely. It assists the
operation of the check valve.
Expected Effects
[15] This invention is the means to prevent especially the forgery
and alteration of alcoholic beverages. If any illegal filling of contents,
one-way direction check valve closes the exhaust hole so that the
forgery and alteration of contents is basically prevented with the major
characteristics such as healthy trade and the restraint of the
production of low quality contents.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[16] The figure 1 shows the desirable operations of this invention.
[ 17] The figure 2 shows the other operations of this invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[ 18 ] The desirable operation examples of this invention
recommended according to enclosed drawings or figures are as
follows.
[19] The figure 1 shows a recommended operation example of this
invention. The closure of this invention (1) desirably consists of the
body (10) combined in the container (100) and the upper cap (20)
combined in the upper part of the body (10).
[20] For the above body (10) to be combined in the container (100),
the body (10) united with the globe (11) is possibly combined in the
neck part of the container (100), or the globe (11) can be combined in
the neck of the container (100) via the separate metal materials.
[21] In addition, one-way direction check valve (30) which opens
and closes the vent (12) is structured inside of the above body (10).
The above check valve (30) is desirable to be opened and closed by
the pressure of contents in the container, occasionally the check valve
(30) may be structured to be opened at a certain degree of the
inclination of the container (100). The above vent (12) and check valve
(30) may be structured with the plural numbers.
[22] The above globe (11) is equipped with the forgery-proof part
(50) which is difficult to be removed by using syringes or other tools
for forgery and alteration. The side of the above forgery-proof part
(50) is equipped with the discharge route (51).
[23] The closure of this invention (1) is structured to enable the
contents to be put into the container (100) as shown in the figure 1.
Desirably, in the condition of the figure 1, if the upper cap (20) is
opened and the container (100) is inclined, the check valve (30) will be
opened by the inside pressure of water, and at the same time the
contents will be discharged via the discharge route (51). And then if
the container (100) is repositioned, the check valve (30) is instantly
closed the vent (12).
[24] In addition, as marked in the drawings, the upper side of the
check valve (30) is equipped with the countercurrent flow-proof hole
(31) with the certain shape and weight for the assistance to close the
check valve (30).
[25] The check valve (40) and the countercurrent flow-proof hole
(41) can be structured with plural numbers as shown in the drawings.
[26] Therefore, even though the contents is illegally tried to be put
into the container (100) via the discharge route (51), it is basically
impossible because the response-sensitive check valve (31, 41) closes
the vent (12, 13). The above check valve (30, 40) can be structured
with various types. One example is that the check valve with the thin
outside, opens to the upper part depending on the pressure, and if the
pressure is removed, it is instantly restored to the former state and
closes the vent.
[ 27 ] As other operating example, figure 2 shows that the
countercurrent flow-proof hole (60) is wholly or partially clothed with
or combined in soft materials. Silicon is one of the best covering
materials (61).
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[28] This invention can be used for high-quality liquors, engine oils,
and chemical agents. In particular, if used for expensive alcoholic
beverages, this invention disables pirates from forging and altering the
contents so that it can basically prevent the tax evasion through
forgery and alteration.
