Capsule (bottle)
See also: Capsule
The stoppers or capsules are small circular objects used hermetically to close the Bouteille S of glass.
He was invented in 1892 by William Painter, the founder of the company Crown Cork and Seal which is now the first global manufacturer of metallic containers. By its facility of use, this Procédé of closing revolutionized the industry of the congestion. At the time, the bottle out of glass was consigned, the capsule was one of the first symbols of the consumer society because it is of single use.
The capsules are manufactured out of metal (steel) and can be decorated outside the logo with the mark with drink. A joint deposited inside ensures the sealing of the bottle.
Right from the start, the capsules were designed to be able the to crimp on the lip of the neck of the bottles of glass. They are provided to the keeper of a bar slightly pressed, and a tool comes to fold up the undulations on the neck to give him this form characteristic of crown. To open them, it was then necessary to be provided with a Décapsuleur.
One of the innovations in this field was the screwed capsule, which can be removed simply by unscrewing it. The capsule with screw also makes it possible to close again the bottle if this one is not emptied entirely at the time of its first opening. Although today this type of closing is spread the most, there exist still manufacturers who produce bottles with capsules which are not dévissables.
There exist collectors of capsules and innumerable do-it-yourself or plays of bar which use the worn capsules. In the hot areas, one sees sometimes crossroads close to the coffee terraces where the bitumen is entirely decorated with capsules drowned in the coating!
