CLOSURE FOR A BOTTLE

[Category : - DESIGN PATENTS]
[Viewed 479 times]

A closure for a drinking bottle including a closure cap for fixing the closure to a sports bottle, wherein the closure cap has a through hole and at least one ventilation opening, and a seal arranged in the closure cap, wherein either the seal or the closure cap has a web, by way of which the seal and the closure cap are at least section-wise in contact, wherein the seal is of such a configuration that upon the occurrence of an increased or reduced pressure in the bottle and/or by axial displacement of the seal in the closure cap at least that section of the seal that is between the web and the inside wall of the closure cap lifts off the inside wall of the closure cap and thus opens a gap for ventilation and venting of the drinking bottle by way of the at least one ventilation opening.

Athletes use appropriate drinking containers for different purposes - would like to consume different drinks (e. g. water, fruit juices, isotonics, electrolytes, shakes, powdered mixed drinks) depending on the activity (e. g. cycling, hiking, fitness, etc. ). For all known drinking systems available on the market, it is not appropriate for the user to opt for ‘with’ or ‘without’ straw. Silicone hoses as drinking straw contaminate very quickly and represent a major hygiene cleaning problem. Such bottles could not be used without a drinking hose. Water bubbles like camelbags are expensive, difficult to clean, do not given the children to school or carry them in the gym. Water bubbles have a limited choice of drinks because they quickly contaminate and are then relatively expensive when procuring spare parts for further use. Conventional sports bottles do not have a drinking straw function, can be opened with the teeth, create a vacuum when drinking and cannot be used by children so easily.
This innovative closure or sports drinking bottle solves all these problems. Allows the use with a variety of drinks for sports with best hygiene, easiest cleaning and extremely wide range of applications such as e. g. for cycling, hiking as well as fitness. An additional feature is the belt clip for attaching to the chest strap. This gimmick and the special bottle seal with tipping point makes this sports drinking bottle so extremely practical and useful. An essential eye-catcher is the unique, modern design.

The ultimate solution because:
1. Suitable for "With" drinking straw or "without" - always possible depending on the prefered purpose.
2. Automatic pressure equalization when drinking for a full, uninterrupted drinking experience.
3. no multiple opening and leak-proof.

Description of the invention by means of a closure for industrial sampling vessels.

1st case: overpressure is created in the container:
By heating, for example, the liquid contained in it would spill out through the discharge opening. To prevent this from happening, this seal has a special seal which is movable (axial displacement) so that the overpressure created in the container raises the seal so far along the guide opening, so that it lifts the outer edge of the seal from the seal via a tilting point and releases a valve opening for pressure compensation (both sides).

2nd case: negative pressure in the vessel:
When suctioning/drinking, negative pressure is created in the container and one would have to allow the supply air for extraction. An additional, small valve opening enables the supply air flow required for suction. This ensures that the container can be emptied in one move without deformation / disturbance. Due to the resetting flex of the seal, this valve opening closes automatically and remains leak-proof and relatively tightly closed against outgassing.
Known closures for containers usually solve only one of the two cases and are therefore only suitable for rigid or flexible containers. The invention solves both possible cases ("automatically" without the need for manual operation) and is suitable for rigid as well as flexible vessels. By modifying the production tools, the lock can also be produced for manual operation (on/off).
