Container Sealing Device
Abstract
The utility model can be used in food industry and it is
designated for storage and/or transportation of containers filled
with low-viscosity and normal-density fluids. The technical result
of the present device is the improvement of the locking properties
of the sealing ring of the stoppered container and the ability to
use specific tamper-proof closures that need protection from
overtwisting on the first unstopping and that contain both elements
of fixation with the sealing ring collar of the stoppered container
and a threaded joint. The above-mentioned technical result is
achieved by introducing unidirectional hooks on the preform sealing
ring or on the ready-made container sealing ring, namely the
flanges must be placed on the side face of the sealing ring below
the thread. Also, the technical result is partially achieved by the
presence of the thread itself.

Claims
1. A bottle sealing ring characterized by the presence of thread
and an encircling projection, in addition to which on the lateral
outer surface of the sealing ring there are added unidirectional
hooks, located between the encircling projection and the thread of
the sealing ring, that interact with the mating teeth of the
closure or its elements as in a ratchet mechanism.
2. The preform or bottle sealing ring abovementioned in the clause
1, with the difference that the encircling projection is flattened
and has holes.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This utility patent application claims priority to Russian
patent application 2011128797 filed on Jun. 13, 2011, which is
incorporated by reference herein.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The invention relates to sealing devices for containers.
BACKGROUND
[0003] The standard GOST R 10117.2-2002 has been applied as the
nearest analogue that regulates the design of containers and
container sealing rings.
[0004] The majority of modern closures have some sort of a
tamper-evident indicator. This can consist of several elements,
sometimes it is a one-piece unit, and however the general tendency
clearly observed is to produce a closure that is inexpensive,
simple and tamper-proof. For this purpose it is considered
reasonable to introduce into the sealing system the elements of a
preformed or a ready-made container sealing ring.
SUMMARY
[0005] The utility model can be used in food industry and it is
designated for storage and/or transportation of containers filled
with low-viscosity and normal-density fluids.
[0006] The technical result of the present device is the
improvement of the locking properties of the sealing ring of the
stoppered container and the ability to use specific tamper-proof
closures that need protection from overtwisting on the first
unstopping and that contain both elements of fixation with the
sealing ring collar of the stoppered container and a threaded
joint.
[0007] The above-mentioned technical result is achieved by
introducing unidirectional hooks on the preform sealing ring or on
the ready-made container sealing ring, namely the flanges must be
placed on the side face of the sealing ring below the thread. Also,
the technical result is partially achieved by the presence of the
thread itself.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
[0008] FIG. 1 illustrates the general layout of the device.
DESCRIPTION
[0009] The utility model can be used in food and household cleaning
products industry and it is designated for storage and/or
transportation of containers filled with low-viscosity and
normal-density fluids.
[0010] In the GOST standard, there are outlined technical solutions
of which we have chosen a container sealing ring with a threaded
joint and a collar, except that the aforesaid sealing ring does not
contain any elements that prevent overtwisting a portion of the
closure or the closure in the whole.
[0011] In particular, in the light of the mentioned above, we find
it expedient to produce a sealing ring with unidirectional hooks as
in a ratchet mechanism that would interact with the elements of the
closure.
[0012] The technical result of the present device is the
improvement of the locking properties of the sealing ring of the
stoppered container and the ability to use specific tamper-proof
closures that need protection from overtwisting when unstopping for
the first time and that contain both elements of fixation with the
sealing ring collar of the stoppered container and a threaded
joint.
[0013] The above-mentioned technical result is achieved by
introducing unidirectional hooks on the preform sealing ring or on
the ready-made container sealing ring, namely the flanges must be
placed on the side of the sealing ring between the thread and the
projection encircling the sealing ring. Also, the technical result
is partially achieved by the presence of the thread itself.
[0014] Placing unidirectional hooks on the side face of the sealing
ring containing the thread is determined by the necessity to use
specific tamper-proof closures that have additional elements of
fixation with the container sealing ring for the protection of the
closure from overtwisting when unstopping, that are also designed
in the form of unidirectional hooks interacting with the hooks of
the sealing ring as in a ratchet mechanism.
[0015] The necessity of the thread on the container sealing ring is
also determined by the properties of specific types of closures,
namely threaded closures that allow interaction with the
container.
[0016] Thus, the combination of unidirectional hooks on the sealing
ring and the thread on the portion of the sealing ring above the
projection encircling the ring (the ring collar) and respectively
below the thread allows using tamper-proof closures with threaded
joints and with elements of fixation with the collar of the
stoppered container and also considerably improves securing the
closure on the sealing ring of the container.
[0017] Also, the projection encircling the ring (collar) is
flattened and has fabrication holes necessary for casting
one-directional flanges. The device is graphically illustrated,
FIG. 1 demonstrating the general layout of the device. The
positions on the drawings indicate: container sealing ring 1,
unidirectional hooks 2, projection encircling the ring (collar) 3,
sealing ring thread 4.
[0018] The operation of the device can be characterized as follows:
a closure with the threaded joint and fixation elements is placed
on the bottle sealing ring interacting with the sealing ring thread
while the fixation elements of the closure, when having been
pressed on, interact with the unidirectional hooks of the preform
or container sealing ring. Thus, there is formed a reliable
connection of the tamper-proof closure with the stoppered bottle.
When unstopping the bottle, the locking unidirectional hooks of the
sealing ring prevent axial rotation of the closure indicator
element or of the closure in whole that has complementary and
unidirectional hooks that limit rotation of the closure or its
elements to one direction on further unstopping, the interacting
threads of the bottle sealing ring and of the closure result in
axial deflection of the device. The bottle is considered
opened.
