CROWN CORK [1 record]

Record 1 2000-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
DEF

A metal closure, lined with compo cork or plastic with or without a facing, of the type used for narrow-necked carbonated beverage bottles, for cone-top beer cans and similar containers. The metal cap is crimped on its edges over a crown finish to grip and seal the contents of pressure goods.

OBS

Although the term "crown cork" is given as a synonym for "crown cap" in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, it should rather be reserved to crown closures incorporating a cork liner.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modes d'ouverture et de fermeture (Emball.)
DEF

Capsule de métal dont la jupe ondulée est munie d'un joint intérieur en plastique coulé (ou plus rarement en liège) qui se sertit sur la bague d'une bouteille.

CONT

[...] la capsule-couronne [...] comporte un joint intérieur soit en liège, avec ou sans spot de protection, soit en matière plastique [...] les fabricants proposent divers modèles permettant le décapsulage sans débouchoir.

OBS

Il est à noter que le terme «bouchon-couronne», généralement employé pour ce type de capsule, est la plupart du temps incorrect puisqu'un bouchon comporte une fermeture disposée à l'intérieur de l'orifice de remplissage du récipient.
