Plug for glass bottles

Abstract

The invention relates to plugs for glass bottles that can be used for automated closure, for long-term preservation of wine and champagne, and for other liquids. The plug for glass bottles includes a cap 1 with a recess 15, a lower portion in the form of a flask 2 with a flange 13, wherein a skirt with fillers ( 9 ) is formed on the flask, the plug includes a rod ( 3 ) with a working member ( 14 ) capable of movement relative to the flask ( 2 ), and a given movement of the rod is ensured by guiding members and travel stops ( 12 ), and the cap ( 1 ) is represented by a portion of the flask; the upper portion of the cap includes a cavity; a button ( 4 ) is mounted so as to be fixed or mobile on the upper end of the rod ( 3 ); the button ( 4 ) closes the cavity of the cap ( 1 ); at least one fixation ( 5 ) is formed on the outer side of the flask; the walls of the flask ( 8 ) in the area where the fixations are provided are capable of deformation, and a pusher ( 6 ) and a return cam ( 7 ) are formed inside the flask preferably on inner side of the flask; the rod ( 3 ) interacts with a fixation ( 5 ) via the pusher ( 6 ) and the return cam ( 7 ). In the case of pressurized beverages, a metal flange ( 11 ) is further formed on the cap. The present plug for glass bottles provides a reliable structure, a long-term preservation, and easy and safe initial and repeated closing and unsealing of the bottles.

1 . A plug for glass bottles consisting of an upper portion in the form of a cap and a lower portion in the form of a flask with a flange, a rod with guiding elements and travel stops providing a given movement of a rod relative to the flask, on the upper end of the rod a button is arranged, on the flask a skirt with fillers is formed, differing in the fact that on the outer side of the flask at least one fixation in the form of a stop is installed, the walls of the flask in the area where the fixations are provided are made of a polymer material with a relatively low elasticity and capable of its deformation like a curve, inside the flask at least one pusher and/or at least one return cam is fixed, the rod is equipped with a working member, the latter is capable of interaction with the pusher and/or return cam for providing interaction between the button and the fixation.
