Container closure comprising a sound producer

Abstract

A sound-producing container closure for closing a container is provided. The closure is made at least partially of a brittle material. Furthermore, the closure is configured to be deformed upon opening the container such that the brittle material is deformed and thus produces a sound.

1 . A sound-producing container closure for closing a container, the closure being made at least partially of a brittle material, wherein the closure is configured to be deformed upon opening the container such that the brittle material is deformed and thus produces a sound. 
   
   
       2 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material breaks as a result of the deformation and therefore produces the sound. 
   
   
       3 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the closure comprises a closure member having an outer surface, and the brittle material is attached to the outer surface of the closure member, and wherein the closure member is made of a material different than the brittle material. 
   
   
       4 . The container closure according to  claim 3 , wherein the brittle material is a hardened coating which was previously applied in liquid form to the closure member, and upon hardening formed an adhesive connection to the closure member. 
   
   
       5 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the whole closure is made of the brittle material. 
   
   
       6 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material is glass. 
   
   
       7 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material is a synthetic resin. 
   
   
       8 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material is sealing wax. 
   
   
       9 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material is Schellac. 
   
   
       10 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the brittle material is a metal. 
   
   
       11 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is a bottle and the closure is a crown cap. 
   
   
       12 . The container closure according to  claim 11 , wherein the brittle material is formed as a disc to which a top surface of the crown cap is applied. 
   
   
       13 . The container closure according to  claim 11 , wherein the brittle material is formed as a ring that encompasses an outer circumference of the crown cap. 
   
   
       14 . The container closure according to  claim 11 , wherein the brittle material is formed as a cap that encloses the crown cap.
