Container stopper

Abstract

A container stopper having a cap having a peripheral wall engaging around a container neck, and an olive-shaped seal provided with a peripheral annular flange for engagement in a container opening, the inner surface of the olive-shaped seal providing a ribbed wall surface, the ribbed wall surface is defined by a plurality of slots and webs extending longitudinally on the wall of the olivary seal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container stopper having a lid and an annular seal, the rim of which is connected to a peripheral wall engaging around the neck of the container, the annular seal preferably being an olive seal, so The olive seal is provided with a peripheral annular flange that snaps into the container opening. A peripheral safety ring may be integrally formed on the lower edge of the peripheral wall, the peripheral safety ring may be torn off, for tamper-evident security of the container contents, with inwardly oriented locking projections, in the fastening of the stopper In the position the locking protrusion engages below the outwardly directed annular protrusion on the container. Background technique [0002] The purpose of the annular seal, which is preferably an olive seal, is to tightly seal the contents of the container and is therefore dimensioned so that the olive seal force fits in the container neck. However, this press...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this press-fit makes it difficult to remove the bung from the container or to pry the bung off in an oblique position, if due to unavoidable manufacturing tolerances in the bung and / or the container, the olive seal so requires considerable High force to remove from the container neck The integrally formed peripheral wall of the lid and the tight press fit of the olive seal into the container neck can be a problem

This can become an unsolvable problem for people with little to no strength in their hands
