Int. Cl.B65d 1/04, 79/00 US. Cl. 2156 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to bottles and like containers for holding a product which must not be mixed with a predetermined quantity of another product until the moment at which it is to be used in order to avoid loss of certain characteristic properties during storage.
It has naturally been suggested that hollow stoppers be employed, in which one of the products may be enclosed, and among the most commonly used stoppers of this type are those which comprise a rigid sliding part through which the enclosed product may escape from the stopper under the influence of gravity and come into contact with the other product in the bottle.
Some of these stoppers utilize a punch for the sliding part which perforates or cuts off the end of the stopper. Others use the sliding part to drive into thecontainer 2. capsule provided with an opening through which the product contained in the capsule may escape, either naturally, or after shaking of the container.
Stopers of this type have several disadvantages, either when being filled, or during storage. When the product is hermetically sealed within the capsule, it is necessary to carry out a finishing step which requires a sealing membrane to be secured in place. When the product is not hermetically sealed, air is enclosed with it, thus creating a pressure within the capsule which tends to force the product out of the capsule during storage and handling before use, thus impairing the seal, so that some of the product in the capsule becomes prematurely mixed with the product in the container.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hollow stopper of the above type in which the capsule is filled and positioned in the body of the stopper in a simple manner, with the stopper holding the product in such a way that is cannot escape during storage and handling of the container.
The present invention is directed to the new article of manufacture which consists of a hollow stopper of the type containing a sliding capsule holding a first product which is to be mixed with another product inside the container carrying the stopper. This stopper is characterized by the fact that it comprises a cap for the hollow cylinder which constitutes the capsule, which cap is axially slidable in the stopper body. The cap loosely encircles one end of the cylinder so as to permit the escape of air therebetween. The telescopic movement of the hollow cylinder alone, or of the hollow cylinder and cap in the axial passage of the stopper is limited by cooperating shoulders, and pressure exerted on the hollow cylinder forces the stopper into the bottle.
In order that the invention may be better understood, a preferred embodiment thereof will now be described,
3,439,823 Patented Apr. 22, 1969 purely by way of illustration and example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the stopper according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is an axial sectional view showing the hollow cylinder mounted on the body of the stopper while the cylinder is being filled;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, showing the cap being placed over the opening of the cylinder;
FIG. 4 is an axial section similar to FIGS. 2 and 3, showing the cap and hollow cylinder forced outward;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary axial section showing the stopper mounted on a bottle; and
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary axial section showing the stopper mounted on the bottle of FIG. 5, after the cylinder has been pressed in.
FIG. 1 shows astopper 1 which comprises aprotective cover 2, ahollow cylinder 3, abody 4, and aplug 5. An assembly comprising these members is shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Thestopper body 4 is made of a moldable material having a certain flexibility when subjected to light pressure, and comprises an inner cylindrical passage having two bearing surfaces of slightly different diameters, a surface 6 on a part 7 which projects from the main part of thebody 4, and asurface 8 of slightly larger diameter, beginning at the opposite end of the stopper.
Theouter wall 9 of thehollow stopper 3 slides against substantial frictional resistance on the surface 6. This hollow stopper has at one end asection 10 having a reduced outer diameter, and at the other end the bottom of the hollow cylinder consists of aweb 11 which may be pressed by a finger.
Thebody 4, has near its outer edge, on the side remote from the cylindrical projection 7, an annular-recess 12 for receiving theneck 13 of a bottle 14. An annular, inwardly projectingridge 15 in this recess is designed to catch over theflange 16 of the bottle neck. On the side opposite therecess 12 thebody 4 carries acylindrical wall 17 which supports thelateral Wall 18 of theprotective cover 2, and afrangible ring 19 sealed to thebody 4, said ring pressing the lower end of thecap 2 against thewall 17 before being torn.
When thehollow cylinder 3 is seated in thebody 4, as shown in FIG. 2, that is to say, when the open end of thehollow piston 3 is flush with the edge of thebody 4, theproduct 20, which is to be mixed, is introduced into the cylinder, and may fill the cylinder up to its upper edge. Thecap 5 is then mounted on the cylinder so that its transverse web rests on the peripheral wall of thecylinder 3, with the skirt '22 of this cap positioned loosely between thesection 10 of the peripheral wall of the cylinder, and thesurface 8 of thebody 4. By pressing thecap 5 lightly in the direction of the arrow F, the cap is forced into the position shown in FIG. 4.
This step drives at least part of the air which has been imprisoned between theweb 21 of thecap 5 and theproduct 20 out betweenend section 10 of the hollow cylinder and theskirt 22 of thecap 5. There is thus no excess air pressure in the cylinder wrich would tend to force theproduct 20 out of it.
When theshoulder 23 of theplug 5 comes into contact with the end of thesurface 8, the stopper securely contains theproduct 20 and may occupy any position without risking separation of the plug, which because of the friction between it and the associated bearing surface, has no tendency to separate from the body of the stopper.
At this time, the neck of the bottle may be inserted in therecess 12 of the stopper, in which position it is retained by theannular ridge 15, which snaps over theflange 16 on the bottle. Thecover 2 is then placed in position and thering 19 secured thereto in any suitable way. This ring holds the slightlyfrustoconical portion 18 of the cap against thewall 17 of the stopper.
When theproduct 20 is to be mixed with theliquid 24 in the bottle 14, thetongue 19a of the ring 19 (best shown in FIG. 1) is pulled until this ring is completely separated from thebody 4, and thecover 2 is removed. Pressure is then exerted against theweb 11 in the direction F1, thus forcing down thecap 5 which, when itsskirt 22 ceases to be gripped by the inside of the wall 6 of thebody 4, separates from thebody 4. Once this separation has taken place, theproduct 20 falls by gravity into theliquid 24.
The downward movement of thehollow cylinder 3 is limited by theshoulders 25 near its upper end, which come in contact with the upper end of the wall 6.
Theproduct 20 is mixed with theliquid 24 and thehollow cylinder 3 is then separated from thebody 4 to pour out the liquid. If only part of the mixture is used, thecylinder 3 is again inserted in the cylindrical section 6, and the bottle thus reclosed.
The stopper according to the invention thus solves in a very simple way the problem of sealing the product Within the hollow cylinder; the close friction fit between the hollow cylinder and the cap inside the body of the stopper assures failure-free functioning of the stopper, the inviolability of which may be guaranteed by any known means.
It will of course be appreciated that the embodiment which has just been described may be modified as to detail without thereby departing from the basic principles of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A stopper comprising an annular body adapted to be carried on the mouth of a container, a capsule slidably mounted within said body, a cap closing one end of said capsule and having a skirt positioned between said capsule end and said annular body, with suflicient clearance between said capsule and skirt to permit the escape of air therebetween as said cap is positioned on said capsule, said cap and capsule being slidable as a unit within said annular body between a first position in which both said capsule and skirt are gripped tightly by said body to hold said cap on said capsule, and a second position in which said skirt is no longer gripped and will fall away from said body when positioned therebelow, thereby permitting any substance in said capsule to fall into the container which carries said annular body.
2. A stopper as claimed inclaim 1 in which said annular body is formed with an axial passageway therein, one section of said passageway, which receives said skirt, being slightly larger in diameter than a second section within which said capsule is slidable.
3. A stopper as claimed inclaim 1 in which the external diameter of that portion of the outer surface of the stopper encircled by said skirt is smaller than the external diameter of the remainder of the stopper.
4. A stopper as claimed inclaim 1 in which said capsule carries an external shoulder near the end thereof remote from said cap which engages said annular body when said capsule is in said second position.
5. A stopper as claimed inclaim 1 in which said cap and body are provided with cooperating surfaces which engage each other when said capsule is in said first position.
