  • Patent number: 4664276
    Abstract: A warranty seal cap, particularly for bottles to be used for pharmaceuticals in which a rubber diaphragm located on the mouth of the neck of the bottle is intended to be pierced by the needle which serves for the extraction of the liquid from the bottle, is characterized in that a button, breakable by means of a pressure acting downwards on the cap and bounded by an area that helps the opening, is provided in the top wall.The area that helps the opening may be comprised of one or more weakening or score lines or one or more cuts.In the case in which one or more cuts are provided for, if it is desired to assure the keeping of a sterile environment between the top wall and the rubber diaphragm, hermetic sealing means are provided between the button and the top wall, preferably an annular sealing gasket located at the cut area.

  • Patent number: 4605138
    Abstract: A bottle cap of the tear-off type, particularly an easy-to-open cap for wide mouth bottles, in which a central top wall which covers the top portion of the mouth of the bottle is connected to a lateral band which surrounds the opening of the neck of the bottle and is bent under the edge of the neck to grip the cap, while a tear-off tab, bounded by one or more score lines, extends from the top wall through the lateral band and an angular sealing gasket is interposed between the mount of the bottle and the top wall and the lateral band, respectively. The score line or lines are carried out approximately at the boundary line between the top wall and the lateral band and the angular sealing gasket is bonded to the innermost surface of the lateral band at a bond area outside the score line or lines, whereby, when the cap is broken by lifting the central top wall by means of the tear tab, the residual lateral bond appears L shaped and the angular sealing gasket is broken only at the tear tab.

  • Patent number: 4605137
    Abstract: A bottle cap of the tear-off type, particularly an easy-to-open cap for wide mouth bottles, in which a central top wall which covers the top portion of the mouth of the bottle is connected to a lateral band which surrounds the opening of the neck of the bottle and is bent under the edge of the neck to grip the cap, while a tear-off tab, bounded by one or more score lines, extends from the top wall through the lateral band and an angular sealing gasket is interposed between the mouth of the bottle and the top wall and the lateral band, respectively. The angular sealing gasket is bonded to the undersurface of the central top wall at a bond area inside the score line or lines, whereby, when the cap is broken by lifting the central top wall by means of the tear tab, the angular sealing gasket is lifted with it in one piece and slips off from underneath the lateral band, ousting it.
