Drip stop device

摘要

A drip stop device (1) for a container for liquids (C) is arranged at the outlet opening (A) of a container (C) to allow liquid to be poured without drips. The device (1) includes a first plate-like element (2) introduced, in the rolled-up configuration, in the outlet opening (A) to define a tubular duct (21). A second plate-like element (3) that substantially develops along a longitudinal direction is superimposed on a surface (22) of first plate-like element (2) with a first end (31) fixed to a perimeter portion (23) of first plate-like element (2) so that when first plate-like element (2) is rolled up substantially along the longitudinal axis (x) of second plate-like element (3), longitudinal sides (32, 33) of second plate-like element (3) come into contact with surface (22) to define one or more forced routes for the liquid flowing out of the container (C).

主权项

1. A drip stop device for a liquid container, the drip stop device configured to be associated with an outlet opening of the liquid container in such a way as to allow a liquid to be poured from the liquid container through the drip stop device such that the drip stop device prevents drippage of the liquid when the liquid container is returned to a vertical position, the drip stop device comprising:
a first plate-like element made of an elastic and flexible material and having an interior surface and a perimeter portion, the first plate-like element being configured to be rolled up to form a tubular duct so that the first plate-like element can be introduced into the outlet opening of the liquid container, and an elongated second plate-like element made of an elastic and flexible material and having a longitudinal axis, the second plate-like element being smaller than the first plate-like element and having opposing longitudinal sides that extend between a first end and an opposing second end, the second plate-like element being superimposed on the interior surface of the first plate-like element with the first end of the second plate-like element fixed to the perimeter portion of the first plate-like element so that when the first plate-like element is rolled up substantially about the longitudinal axis of the second plate-like element, the longitudinal sides of the second plate-like element contact the interior surface of the first plate-like element and force the second plate-like element to be extend crosswise along the tubular duct so as to form one or more forced routes for the liquid flowing out of the liquid container.
