Cap Assembly and Bottle Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051720 titled 'Cap Assembly and Bottle Assembly
Simplified Explanation
The present application describes a cap assembly and a bottle assembly. The cap assembly is designed to lock a bottle, which includes a bottle head with at least one lock accommodating portion and a bottle body. The cap assembly consists of a cap, an elastic arm, and at least one lock portion. The cap has an annular receiving portion with a downward-facing opening, through which the bottle head can enter. The elastic arm is annular and is arranged in the receiving portion. The lock portion is arranged on the cap and is capable of cooperating with the lock accommodating portion of the bottle head to lock the cap assembly to the bottle head. When locked, the elastic arm applies forces in opposite directions to the cap and the bottle head, retaining the lock portion in the lock accommodating portion. The cap assembly has a relatively small height and allows gas in the bottle body cavity to be discharged through an exhaust passage during unlocking of the bottle assembly.
- The present patent application describes a cap assembly and bottle assembly that can securely lock a bottle.
- The cap assembly includes a cap, an elastic arm, and at least one lock portion.
- The bottle assembly includes a bottle head with at least one lock accommodating portion and a bottle body.
- The cap assembly locks to the bottle head by the lock portion cooperating with the lock accommodating portion.
- The elastic arm applies forces in opposite directions to the cap and the bottle head, retaining the lock portion in place.
- The cap assembly has a small height and allows gas in the bottle body cavity to be discharged through an exhaust passage during unlocking.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in various industries that require secure bottle closures, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and beverages.
- It can be applied in packaging systems where tamper-evident features are necessary to ensure product integrity.
Problems Solved
- The cap assembly provides a secure locking mechanism for bottles, preventing unauthorized access or tampering.
- The small height of the cap assembly allows for efficient storage and transportation of bottles.
- The exhaust passage allows for the safe discharge of gas from the bottle during unlocking, preventing pressure build-up.
Benefits
- Enhanced product security and integrity due to the reliable locking mechanism.
- Improved convenience in handling and storing bottles with the compact cap assembly.
- Safety ensured by the discharge of gas through the exhaust passage, preventing potential accidents or damage.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present application provides a cap assembly and a bottle assembly. the cap assembly is configured to lock a bottle. the bottle includes a bottle head having at least one lock accommodating portion and comprises a bottle body. the cap assembly includes a cap, an elastic arm and at least one lock portion. the cap defines an annular receiving portion having an opening facing downward, and the bottle head can enter the receiving portion through the opening. the elastic arm is annular and is arranged in the receiving portion. the at least one lock portion is arranged on the cap and is configured to be capable of cooperating with the at least one lock accommodating portion of the bottle head, so as to lock the cap assembly to the bottle head. when the cap assembly is locked to the bottle head, the elastic arm abuts against a top wall of the receiving portion and a top wall of the bottle head, to apply forces in opposite directions to the cap and the bottle head, so as to retain the at least one lock portion in the at least one lock accommodating portion. the cap assembly of the present application has a relatively small height, and during unlocking of the bottle assembly of the present application, gas in a bottle body cavity can be discharged from the bottle through an exhaust passage.
