Patent number: 10196185Abstract: A bottle push-pull aseptic dispenser cap comprising a guide-body having a reference axis and designed to be coupled to the mouth of a bottle; the guide-body being provided with a tubular shaped inner chamber closed at the bottom, and with through openings designed to place the inner space of the bottle in communication with the inner chamber. The cap further comprises a shutter-nipple which is coupled in an axially sliding manner to the guide-body so as to translate axially inside the inner chamber along the reference axis, between a retracted position, in which the shutter-nipple closes the through openings in a fluid-tight manner, and an extracted position, in which the shutter-nipple projects cantilevered outwardly from the guide-body and disengages the through openings so as to be able to receive, from the latter, said beverage through said inner chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Acqua Minerale San Benedetto S.P.A.Inventor: Enrico Zoppas

Patent number: 10150243Abstract: A gripping device for supporting preforms made of a thermoplastic material, having necks with a different length, such necks having, in turn, a step obtained therein which may abut against a step obtained on the outer surface of the gripping device, i.e., the chuck, such a step of the chuck being located, for each preform, always at the same distance from the neck ring base.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: S.I.P.A. Societa' Industrializzazione Progettazione E Automazione S.p.A.Inventors: Ernesto Eusebione, Damiano Vardiero, Matteo Zoppas, Enrico Zoppas

Patent number: 9540153Abstract: The invention relates to a cap (100) for containers for carbonated and non carbonated beverages, of the type used by sportsmen. The plastic cap consists of a supporting element (1) which is screwed on the bottleneck; a pivotal element (2) which pivots by an angle of approximately 120° with respect to the supporting element (1), acting as opening and closing valve for dispensing the beverage; and optionally, a protective cap (3). The pivotal element (2) closes the container in fluid-tight manner. Unscrewing the cap (3) in a certain direction causes the simultaneous pivoting and translation motion of the pivotal element (2), thereby putting the container in communication with the external environment. A kinematic coupling is also provided, which allows the activation of the pivotal element (2) as opening and closing valve by pushing and pulling the vertex of the pivotal element in axial direction, for the cases in which the protective cap is not available.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Acqua Minerale San Benedetto S.P.A.Inventor: Enrico Zoppas

Patent number: 9359099Abstract: A plastic material container, e.g. a beverage bottle, having a neck which requires the use of a smaller amount of plastic than the bottle necks of the prior art, and which is able to ensure a complete functionality for coupling the cap, ensuring at the same time the possibility of implementing the traditional supporting; sealing and handling operations of the bottle carried out during the various steps of manufacturing the same.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignees: S.I.P.A.
