Abstract

The upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic products, comprising a containing body for containing a fluid product, particularly a pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic product, a dispensing mouth of the product defined at one end of the containing body, a tearable membrane for closing the dispensing mouth, a closing element that can be screwed up or unscrewed on such end of the containing body and provided with a cap inside which is defined at least one perforator of the membrane, and maintaining means for maintaining the cap in a safety configuration, in which the perforator is substantially positioned away from the membrane and in which the cap can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of the closing element in at least one direction of rotation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bottle for fluid products, comprising a containing body for containing a fluid product, a dispensing mouth for said product defined at one end of said containing body, a tearable membrane for closing said dispensing mouth, a closing element that can be screwed up or unscrewed on said end of the containing body and provided with a cap inside which is defined at least one perforator of said membrane, and maintaining means for maintaining said cap in a safety configuration, in which said perforator is substantially positioned away from said membrane and in which said cap can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of said closing element in at least one direction of rotation. 
   
   
       2 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein said closing element comprises a plug inside said cap which can be screwed up and unscrewed on said end of the containing body and with which said cap is associated sliding between said safety configuration and a work configuration, in which said plug and said cap are made integral with each other by placing coupling means in between. 
   
   
       3 . The bottle according to  claim 2 , wherein said perforator extends from the ceiling of said plug, inside this and towards said containing body. 
   
   
       4 . The bottle according to  claim 2 , wherein said coupling means comprise at least one protrusion defined on the outer surface of said plug, suitable for being inserted inside at least one corresponding slot defined on the inner surface of said cap, said coupling means being suitable for preventing the relative rotation between said plug and said containing cap, engaged together. 
   
   
       5 . The bottle according to  claim 2 , wherein said coupling means comprise at least one slot defined on the outer surface of said plug, inside which can be inserted at least one corresponding protrusion defined on the inner surface of said cap, said coupling means being suitable for preventing the relative rotation between said plug and said containing cap, engaged together. 
   
   
       6 . The bottle according to  claim 2 , wherein said maintaining means comprise elastic contrast means which act in contrast to the movement of said cap from said safety configuration to said work configuration. 
   
   
       7 . The bottle according to  claim 6 , wherein said elastic means comprise at least one foil spring which has an end fixed to at least one between the inner surface of said cap and the outer surface of said plug and engageable by bending on the other between the inner surface of said cap and the outer surface of said plug. 
   
   
       8 . The bottle according to  claim 7 , wherein said foil spring is defined at the ceiling of said cap and is engageable by bending on the outer surface of said plug, at an upper portion of said substantially conical plug. 
   
   
       9 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , wherein said maintaining means comprise at least one retention element defined on the outer surface of said end of the containing body suitable for engaging with at least one respective lock element defined on the inner side surface of said cap. 
   
   
       10 . The bottle according to  claim 9 , wherein said retention element comprises at least one ring-shaped tooth defined protruding from the side surface of said end of the containing body. 
   
   
       11 . The bottle according to  claim 9 , wherein said lock element comprises at least one ring-shaped groove. 
   
   
       12 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one sealing collar placed, removable by tearing, in between said containing body and said closing element. 
   
   
       13 . The bottle according to  claim 12 , wherein said sealing collar is associated with at least one between said containing body, said cap and said plug along respective first weakened areas. 
   
   
       14 . The bottle according to  claim 13 , wherein said first weakened areas are defined between the upper surface of said collar and the lower portion of at least one between said cap and said plug. 
   
   
       15 . The bottle according to  claim 13 , wherein said first weakened areas are of the preset breakage line type. 
   
   
       16 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one grip flap defined protruding from the outer side surface of said containing body. 
   
   
       17 . The bottle according to  claim 16 , comprising at least one pair of grip flaps that extend from said containing body in a diametrically opposite direction the one to the other. 
   
   
       18 . The bottle according to  claim 17 , wherein said grip flaps are associated, along second weakened areas, with the grip flaps of the containing bodies of other bottles arranged in series adjacent to it. 
   
   
       19 . The bottle according to  claim 18 , wherein said cap is associated, along third weakened areas, with the cap of other bottles arranged in series adjacent to it. 
   
   
       20 . The bottle according to  claim 1 , comprising an operating key defined integral with said cap. 
   
   
       21 . The bottle according to  claim 20 , wherein said cap is associated along third weakened lines with caps of other bottles in series adjacent to it, and said third weakened areas are defined between said operating keys of the caps of bottles arranged in series adjacent to one another. 
   
   
       22 . The bottle according to  claim 21 , wherein said operating key is composed of a pair of operating flaps, each diametrically opposite the other and defined protruding from the outer side surface of said cap. 
   
   
       23 . The bottle according to  claim 21 , wherein said operating key is made up of a band substantially wrapped like a ring around said cap and integral with it. 
   
   
       24 . The bottle according to  claim 12 , wherein:
 said closing element comprises a plug inside said cap which can be screwed up and unscrewed on said end of the containing body and with which said cap is associated sliding between said safety configuration and a work configuration, in which said plug and said cap are made integral with each other by placing coupling means in between, and   said sealing collar is associated with said plug along respective first weakened areas.   
   
   
       25 . The bottle according to  claim 16 , wherein said first weakened areas are defined between the upper surface of said collar and the lower portion of said plug said cap.
