Abstract

New and distinguished characteristic of this lid breaking of seal feathers band (3). In broken part (12) there is only seal feathers band. There is no separate safety band. Feathers band hanging on lid bottom edge is extended towards lid base. When the lid is placed on the bottle, thinned (6) and thick tips (7) of feathers overlays on the dome on the bottle neck both from external diameter and bottom edge. During placing of lid on the bottle, breaking of thin tips of seal feathers band was prevented by resting on the circular step inside the lid. Feathers were placed with a right angle (18) with respect to radial axis of the lid. Therefore, if lid is wanted to open seal band is provided to be broken easily and quickly.

Description

DESCRIPTION SEAL BANDED LLD

Technical field that the inventionis interrelated and known situation of technique: It is used for closing and sealing bottles made of any kind of material with plastic lid during filling. Presently used competition seal banded lids are broken partially or completely or it is opened with lid when it is wanted to open by end-user. Or the seal lid can be taken out of the bottle without breaking seal band for the purpose of sabotage.

Technical problems that the invention aims to solve : To eliminate problems related to the partial or complete opening of seal band with lid or taking the seal band without breaking out of the bottle.

Description of Invention : Structure of seal band has been designed different than known competitions.

When invention lid is turned to open, band of sealing feathers (3) is forced to move from lid bottom side (5), easy breaking material bridge is torn. Broken seal feathers band (3) indicates that lid was opened. Seal feathers band (3) of lids to be used in single-use and multi-use bottles are designed in different ways. For the lids manufactured for multi-use bottles; lid is broken bounded to its bottom side (5) by means of shortened feathers (14). In single-use bottles; seal feathers band is broken completely from lid bottom side and it remains in the form of a ring fixed on the bottle neck. Seal feathers band (3) is located with an angle alpha (1) with respect to axis (10), through the lid base (1) by holding with easy breaking material bridges (12) to bottom- side of the lid (5). Inner membrane conical structure formed because of appropriaterelying of seal feathers band (3) onto lid bottom circle (8) provides easy placing of lid to the bottle. Seal feathers band (3) is radially pushed towards to the inner diameter of the lid by pressure of neck of bottle during installation of lid to bottle. During this time, thinned tips (6) and thick tips (7) of feathers band prevent breaking of weak connections of feathers (12) by laying on the circular step (4) inside the lid during installation. Thanks to the conical shape of the lower circle (8) of the lid, during installation to the bottle, lid easily passes the dome (9) on the neck of the bottle. Radial force applied to feathers during installation of lid to the bottle causes the lid to pass the dome by pressure by stretches bottom circle of lid (8) to outwards. It suppress thin tips of feathers (6) to outwards of dome on the neck of bottle (9). Thin tips of feathers (6) waiting under pressure prevent reverse turning (13) of feathers (2) without breaking is during opening of lid. This invention eliminated probability of removal of seal feathers (3) band without breaking.

Axis of feathers lined as symmetric and asymmetric on bottom side of lid (5) inclined with angle alpha (19) with respect to lid axis. Feathers are lined by a slope with beta angle (18) with respect to radial axis of the lid. Seal feathers band provides smooth installation of lid without any friction which maybe found on bottle neck the during installation. Since material bridges (12) to be broken- are located right lower sides of feathers (20) the beta angles (18) of feathers start to decrease because tongue tips (6) compressed between dome of bottle (9) and the lid during rotational opening are fixed. Since the tips of feathers resting on the dome (13) is fixed with right angle with respect to radial axis (15) of the lid it cannot advance. Lower right sides of feathers stretches away towards the bottom from lower circle (8) of the lid. Advancing movement of lid is added to this movement. Thus, breaking of seal feathers band (13) is provided with lesser revolution. According to the known situation of tecnique, feathers are torn and lose their functions during opening of lid. And tearing distance is increased. Its installation to bottle is more difficult. When lid is wanted to be opened, band can not be broken easily and fast.

Method of Application of Invention to the Industry: Closing force (torque) applied during closing by turning the lid after filling is decreased by different design of seal band. When the lid is wanted to be opened, opening of seal band without tearing and opening the lid for the purpose of sabotage have been prevented.

Claims

Coupling of thin tips (6) of feathers (13) in seal feathers band (3) holding with easily broken thin material bridge (12) to the lower circle of the lid (8) both to the bottom (7) and outer diameter (6) of the dome (9) on the neck of bottle by extending towards the lid base 81). Thus, during opening of lid of seal feathers band (3), refolding without breaking/tearing is prevented. Prevention of loose of the function of the feathers (3) during opening by inclination of the feathers by designing the same with a beta angle (18) with respect to radial axis of the lid. Binding of feathers (13) to bottom tip of lid (5) with easily broken material bridge (12), Connection of feathers with uneasily broken material bridge (11) by symmetric and asymmetric lining of the same on inner side (8) of bottom circle of lid. Resting of seal feathers band (3) within the lid by a circular step (4) to prevent breaking of seal feathers band during placing of lid to bottle by rotation. Strong connection of feathers band to bottom side (5) of the lid hence it cannot be broken. Taking the breakeble section to the mid part of lid (17) as an alternative.

Beta angle of feathers (18) starts to decrease because of rotational force applied to feathers during opening movement of lid by placing broken material bridge (12) to lower right side of feathers (20), the tips of feathers laying on the dome cannot advance

(9). It advances towards the outside from the lower right side (5) of the lid. Advancing movement of lid is added to this movement. Thus, shortining of the breaking distance faster and easier breaking in much less rotation could be provided.

Easy installation of lid to bottle (22) with lower circle of lid by forming an angle alpha (19). Sticking of seal band by holding from the thinned lids (14) lined on the lower side of the lid during lid opening if not easily broken material bridge (11) between un-thinned feathers is removed (16). Windows/openings (21) showing if seal band is open when the lid has been placed on the bottle.
