  • Patent number: 7850028
    Abstract: The invention relates to a child-proof capsule with a security strip (12) the capsule comprises an internal cap (4) which can be removably applied on a neck (2) of a container (1). An external cap (5) is applied and constrained on the internal cap (4). The external cap (5) is free to move in an axial direction from a first position in which free rotation is possible between the external cap (5) and the internal cap (4) to second position in which the external cap (5) and the internal cap (4) are solid in rotation. The security strip (12) is made in a single piece with the internal cap (4) and is of annular shape with a V-section. When the capsule is mounted on the container, a free circumference (12b) of the security strip (12) engages with an annular projection (15) fashioned on the container (1). In a connection zone between the security strip (12) and the peripheral edge (4a) of the internal cap (4) there is a plurality of circumferential cuts (16), not conjoined, which occupy all of the connection zone.

  • Patent number: 7607549
    Abstract: The capsule includes a lower cap with a security strip which inserts removably on a mouth of a bottle. The upper part of the lower cap is open and provided with a neck which couples with an upper cap, also having a security strip. A reservoir is provided within the upper cap and has a breakable bottom; the reservoir also internally includes a cutter. The upper cap can move axially downwards with respect to the neck and the bottle, while it is prevented from moving upwards. The capsule also includes an anchoring between the reservoir and the neck of the capsule when the reservoir is inserted in the neck. The process includes filling the bottle with fizzy water, hermetically closing the bottle with a capsule containing substances to be added to the fizzy water, and introducing the substances into the fizzy water before consuming the drink.

  • Publication number: 20080202949
    Abstract: The reservoir with a cutter for substances to be mixed with liquids at moment of use, in particular for single-dose containers, is of a type comprising a breakable bottom (8a) connected to a reservoir by means of an easy-break line (8b) and superiorly closed by a cutter (9) which on command causes breakage of the easy-break line (8b). The reservoir comprises a barrier element (6), which is easily removable or cuttable or penetrable by action of the cutter (9) and which is impermeable to humidity. The barrier element (6) is connected to the reservoir in a position between an inside of the container and the substance contained in the reservoir, and intercepts any humidity migrating from inside the container to inside the reservoir across the breakable line (8b).
