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.
