Multi-flow cap

Abstract

The present invention concerns a multi-flow cap which comprises: a main body with means for connecting to the neck of a recipient two flow outlet openings of unequal sizes, such that they define a large opening and a small opening. To provide an improved multi-flow cap which also reduces or minimizes spurting of the fluid contained in the recipient, it is proposed according to the invention that the two openings of the multi-flow cap are comprised in an insert connected to the main body and in that the insert additionally comprises a plurality of baffles distributed along an inner perimeter and arranged such that each opening is partially coincident with at least one baffle in the outlet direction of the flow.

1 . Multi-flow cap which comprises:
 a main body with means for connecting to the neck of a recipient   two flow outlet openings of unequal sizes, such that they define a large opening and a small opening   
       characterized in that said two openings are comprised in an insert connected to the main body and in that the insert additionally comprises a plurality of baffles distributed along an inner perimeter and arranged such that each opening is partially coincident with at least one baffle in the outlet direction of the flow. 
     
     
         2 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that there is a separation between the baffles at least partially coincident with each of the openings. 
     
     
         3 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the baffles and their respective separations therebetween are distributed uniformly. 
     
     
         4 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the openings are diametrically opposed. 
     
     
         5 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the openings define an axis of symmetry, the openings being symmetrical with respect to said axis of symmetry. 
     
     
         6 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the baffles and their respective separations therebetween are symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry defined by the openings. 
     
     
         7 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each of the baffles has the shape of a petal. 
     
     
         8 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 7 , characterized in that each of the baffles has the shape of a rounded trapezium. 
     
     
         9 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each of the baffles is inclined in the direction opposite to the outlet flow 
     
     
         10 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the length of each of the baffles is such that its horizontal projection is smaller than the horizontal projection of the width of each of the openings. 
     
     
         11 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the large opening has the shape of a rounded trapezium. 
     
     
         12 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the small opening has the shape of a rounded trapezium. 
     
     
         13 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1  characterized in that the small opening has the shape of a triangle. 
     
     
         14 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the main body additionally comprises a tearable membrane which covers the insert and which acts as a seal. 
     
     
         15 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 1 , further characterized in that it comprises a top-piece configured in order to close said cap. 
     
     
         16 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 15 , characterized in that the top-piece closes by means of a helicoidal thread. 
     
     
         17 . Multi-flow cap according to  claim 15 , characterized in that the top-piece connects to the main body by means of an articulation with a flap hinge.
