DEVICE FOR PROVIDING SORTED CLOSURE ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034569 titled 'DEVICE FOR PROVIDING SORTED CLOSURE ELEMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a device designed to provide sorted closure elements, specifically crown caps. It consists of a space for bulk storage of the caps and a lifting conveyor in the form of a belt that enters the storage space. The outer face of the belt has multiple cleats that are oriented transversely and spaced to create a recess between a lower cleat and an upper cleat. As the recess passes through the storage space, it collects a plurality of caps. The device also includes means for sorting unbalanced caps present inside the recess. The lower edge of the upper cleat has a convex section opposite the belt, and this means cooperates with the movement of the lifting conveyor to cause incorrectly oriented caps to fall.

  • The device provides a mechanism for sorting and organizing crown caps.
  • The lifting conveyor with transversely oriented cleats collects caps in recesses as it moves through the storage space.
  • Unbalanced caps are sorted using means incorporated into the device.
  • Incorrectly oriented caps are caused to fall by the convex section on the lower edge of the upper cleat.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Beverage industry: The device can be used in bottling plants to efficiently sort and organize crown caps for various beverages.
  • Packaging industry: It can be utilized in packaging facilities to streamline the process of sorting closure elements for different products.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual sorting: The device eliminates the need for manual sorting of crown caps, saving time and reducing labor costs.
  • Inefficient organization: It ensures that caps are properly sorted and organized, preventing mix-ups and improving overall efficiency in production.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased productivity: The device automates the sorting process, allowing for faster and more efficient production.
  • Improved accuracy: By sorting and organizing caps, it reduces the chances of errors or mix-ups in the packaging process.
  • Cost savings: The automation of sorting eliminates the need for manual labor, resulting in cost savings for businesses.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention relates to a device for providing sorted closure elements in the form of crown caps, comprising a space for bulk storage of the caps, a lifting conveyor in the form of a belt entering the space and comprising, on an outer face, a plurality of cleats oriented transversely and spaced in order to define a recess between a lower cleat and an upper cleat, each recess collecting a plurality of the caps as the recess passes through the storage space, means for sorting unbalanced caps present inside the recess. the lower edge of the upper cleat has a convex section opposite the belt. the means cooperates with the movement of the lifting conveyor so as to cause the incorrectly oriented caps to fall.
