Patent number: 11242176Abstract: A closure element of the press-twist type for closing a container comprises: a capsule having a side wall extending about an axis, and a transverse panel extending transversely to said axis, an annular seal for sealingly engaging with a mouth of the container. The annular seal is made of a PVC-free material and comprises: a side portion arranged in contact with the side wall of the capsule; a front portion extending from the side portion towards said axis; a deformability promoting element for increasing deformability of the front portion, the deformability promoting element comprising a recessed zone configured to be at least partially filled by the material forming the front portion when the front portion is pressed against an edge of the container delimiting the mouth.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: SACMI COOPERATIVA MECCANICI IMOLA SOCIETA' COOPERATIVAInventors: Danilo Albonetti, Andrea Sallioni, Antonino Lo Piccolo, Steven White, Doriano Naldi

Patent number: 10994463Abstract: A seal system includes a male body and a female body that are slidable in relation to one another in an axial direction and between which an interstice is arranged. Plastics in pasty state pass through the interstice to a chamber partially defined by at least one of the aforementioned bodies. An elastic strip is arranged in the interstice to prevent leakage of the plastics.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2016Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Inventor: Andrea Sallioni

Patent number: 10960578Abstract: A method for applying a sealant to the surface of an object includes forming an annular dose of synthetic plasticised material supplied from an extruder, depositing the dose on the surface of object and compression forming the dose to form a seal. The extruder includes an annular outlet which is opened and closed to deposit successive doses. Each dose that exits the annular outlet is separated from a supply of plasticized material in the extruder.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Inventors: Danilo Albonetti, Andrea Sallioni

Patent number: 10899043Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forming annular doses provides a flow of plasticised material supplied by an extruder which passes through a channel that is first cylindrical and then annular. The material exits from an annular outlet in front of which a cutting element passes that separates an annular dose of material. The dose is deposited on a surface of a capsule having a capacity to adhere to the dose that is greater than the cutting element. The surface and the cutting element are distanced from one another in such a manner that the annular dose remaining adhering to the capsule is detached from the element. Detachment can be promoted by a flow of air.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventors: Danilo Albonetti, Andrea Sallioni

Patent number: 10562208Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for forming annular doses of synthetic plasticised material supplied from an extruder, in which the doses are applied to a surface of a capsule and the seals of the capsules are then compression-formed. The apparatus includes one tubular wall that has a longitudinal axis and is axially movable for closing an annular outlet from which the synthetic plasticised material exits with a component that is normal to the longitudinal axis. The tubular wall has a cutting edge that shears the plasticised material during the closing movement in order to separate the annular dose, formed outside the outlet, from the material that remains inside the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Sacmi Cooperativa Meccanici Imola Societa' CoopertivaInventors: Danilo Albonetti, Andrea Sallioni
