Abstract

A one-part plastic snap hinge has two hinge parts connected to one another by means of a main joint (6'). At least one resilient connection piece (8), for example in the form of a tension spring, is connected at its two ends to the two hinge parts by means of secondary joints (10', 12'). The secondary joints are each at a distance from the main joint (6') transversely in relation to the joint axes. In such a snap hinge, the hinge parts can snap out of a position of unstable equilibrium into one end position or the other. According to the invention, such a snap hinge, for example in its use as a bottle cap, can be made practicable for an extended or a different group of materials than the hitherto conventional snap hinges made of polypropylene. This is achieved in that the snap hinge is produced from polyethylene of low density, and in that at least the main joint and preferably also the secondary joints are designed as bands (16, 18, 20), the length of which is greater than their thickness. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein einteiliges Schnappscharnier aus Kunststoff mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1. Bei derartigen Schnappscharnieren werden die Gelenke, die einerseits die beiden Scharnierteile miteinander verbinden, andererseits das federnde Verbindungsstück mit den beiden Scharnierteilen verbinden, durch Filmscharniere aus dem Kunststoffmaterial gebildet. Mit Rücksicht auf die hohe Anzahl von Öffnungs- und Schließbewegungen, der ein derartiges Schnappscharnier im Laufe seiner Verwendungszeit, z. B. bei Flaschenverschlüssen, standhalten muß, konnten derartige Schnappscharniere bisher nur aus Polypropylen hergestellt werden. Andere Kunststoffe hielten die Beanspruchungen nicht aus.The invention relates to a one-piece snap hinge made of plastic with the features of the preamble of claim 1. In such snap hinges, the joints which on the one hand connect the two hinge parts to one another and on the other hand connect the resilient connecting piece to the two hinge parts are formed by film hinges made of the plastic material . In view of the high number of opening and closing movements that such a snap hinge in the course of its period of use, for. B. bottle caps must withstand, such snap hinges could previously only be made of polypropylene. Other plastics could not withstand the stresses.

Derartige Schnappscharniere werden hauptsächlich für Verschlüsse von Flaschen oder Behältern verwendet. Polypropylen ist relativ hart. Wird zum Abdichten gegenüber der Mündung einer Flasche aus sprödem Material, z. B. Glas oder Polyvinylchlorid ein Dichtungskonus verwendet, der mit dem Verschluß einteilig ausgebildet ist, so besteht die Gefahr, daß die Flaschenmündung beim Aufschrauben des Verschlusses gesprengt wird. Es besteht daher ein Bedarf, Verschlüsse mit Schnappscharnieren aus einem weicheren Material herszustellen als Polypropylen, ohne daß die Schnappfunktion beeinträchtigt wird.Such snap hinges are mainly used for closures of bottles or containers. Polypropylene is relatively hard. Is used to seal against the mouth of a bottle made of brittle material, e.g. B. glass or polyvinyl chloride uses a sealing cone, which is formed in one piece with the closure, there is a risk that the bottle mouth is blown up when the closure is screwed on. There is therefore a need to produce snap hinge closures from a softer material than polypropylene without affecting the snap function.

Verschlüsse aus Polypropylen können nicht zur Abgabe beliebiger Füllstoffe verwendet werden, da Polypropylen gegenüber bestimmten Gruppen von Füllstoffen, wie aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen, nur bedingt beständig ist.Closures made of polypropylene cannot be used to dispense any fillers, as opposed to polypropylene certain groups of fillers, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, is only partially stable.

Es besteht seit langem ein Bedarf, Schnappscharniere für Verschlüsse, Ausgießer und dergleichen zu schaffen, die mit den oben genannten und weiteren Stoffen kompatibel sind, hauptsächlich solchen, die mit Polypropylen nicht in Berührung kommen sollten.There has long been a need to provide snap hinges for closures, pourers, and the like that are compatible with the above and other materials, primarily those that should not come into contact with polypropylene.

Insgesamt soll durch die vorliegende Erfindung ein einteiliges Schnappscharnier aus Kunststoff geschaffen werden, das die Eigenschaften des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 hat, weicher ist und einen anderen Kompatibilitätsbereich hat als Polypropylen.Overall, the present invention is intended to create a one-piece snap hinge made of plastic, which has the properties of the preamble of claim 1, is softer and has a different range of compatibility than polypropylene.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch Anspruch 1 gelöst. Es hat sich überraschenderweise herausgestellt, daß Polyäthylen niedriger Dichte (low density polyethylen) einer hohen Zahl von Biegebewegungen standhält, wenn man statt der bisher üblichen Filmscharniere ein Band aus Polyäthylen verwendet, dessen Länge größer ist als dessen Dicke. Die Bänder sollen also wesentlich länger sein, als die bisherigen Filmscharniere.This object is solved by claim 1. It has surprisingly been found that low-density polyethylene can withstand a large number of bending movements if, instead of the hinge film used hitherto, a tape made of polyethylene whose length is greater than its thickness is used. The tapes should therefore be much longer than the previous film hinges.

Der Haupttyp derartiger Schnappscharniere hat ein Hauptgelenk, das aus zwei längs der Gelenkachse gegeneinander versetzten Abschnitten besteht und dazwischen ein einziges federndes Verbindungsstück. Verwendet wird jedoch auch die umgekehrte Anordnung, nämlich ein relativ breites Hauptgelenk und beiderseits dieses Gelenks zwei federnde Verbindungsstücke.The main type of snap hinge of this type has a main joint which consists of two sections which are offset with respect to one another along the joint axis and a single resilient connecting piece between them. However, the reverse arrangement is also used, namely a relatively wide main joint and two resilient connecting pieces on both sides of this joint.

Es war fernliegend, ein Gelenk als Band auszubilden, da dann keine präzise Gelenkachse mehr vorhanden ist. Es hat sich aber herausgestellt, daß trotz einer gewissen Labilität des Hauptgelenks die Schnappfunktion nicht beeinträchtigt wird. Es sind nach wie vor eine Offenstellung und eine Schließstellung vorhanden, in deren eine oder andere die Scharnierteile beiderseits einer Stellung labilen Gleichgewichts von selbst schnappen und in der sie sich dann selbsttätig halten.It was remote to form a joint as a band, because then there is no longer a precise joint axis. However, it has been found that the snap function is not impaired despite a certain instability of the main joint. There are still an open position and a closed position, in one or the other of which the hinge parts snapping on both sides of a position of unstable equilibrium and in which they then keep themselves.

Während das Hauptgelenk in den meisten Anwendungsfällen einen Schwenkwinkel von etwa 180 Grad ausführen muß, brauchen die Nebengelenke nur Schwenkwinkel von je etwa 90 Grad auszuführen. Die Art der Ausbildung der Nebengelenke und deren Dauerbelastbarkeit ist daher weniger kritisch. In einer Weiterbildung nach Anpruch 2 können jedoch auch die Nebengelenke als Bänder ausgebildet werden, wodurch sich eine höhere Dauerbelastbarkeit des gesamten Schnappscharniers ergibt.While the main joint has to make a swivel angle of about 180 degrees in most applications, the secondary joints only need to make swivel angles of about 90 degrees each. The type of formation of the secondary joints and their durability is therefore less critical. In a further development according to claim 2, however, the secondary joints can also be designed as ligaments, which results in a higher durability of the entire snap hinge.

Gute Ergebnisse wurden nach einer Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 3 mit einem bestimmten Verhältnis der Länge der Bänder gegenüber ihrer Dicke erzielt.Good results were achieved according to a further development according to claim 3 with a certain ratio of the length of the strips to their thickness.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit weiteren Merkmalen der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen beschrieben.

  • Figur 1 ist ein Teilquerschnitt durch ein Schnappscharnier nach der Erfindung quer zu den Gelenkachsen.
  • Figur 2 ist ein entsprechender Teilquerschnitt durch ein Schnappscharnier nach dem Stand der Technik.
  • Figur 3 und 4 sind perspektivische Darstellungen bekannter Schnappscharnierverschlüsse, die mit Haupt- und Nebengelenken nach der Erfindung ausgerüstet werden können.
An embodiment with further features of the invention is described below with reference to the drawings.
  • Figure 1 is a partial cross section through a snap hinge according to the invention transverse to the joint axes.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding partial cross section through a snap hinge according to the prior art.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views of known snap hinge locks that can be equipped with main and secondary joints according to the invention.

Die Schnappscharnierverschlüsse haben je einen Unterteil 2 und einen Deckel 4. Beide sind durch ein Hauptgelenk 6 miteinander verbunden, das nach Figur 3 längs der Hauptachse zwei Hauptgelenkabschnitte 6a und 6b aufweist. Ein federndes Verbindungsstück 8 in Gestalt einer gewinkelten Biegefeder ist nach Figur 3 zwischen den beiden Hauptgelenkabschnitten 6a und 6b angeordnet. Es ist in Nebengelenken 10 und 12 mit dem Unterteil 2 bzw. dem Deckel 4 verbunden.The snap hinge locks each have a lower part 2 and a cover 4. Both are connected to one another by a main joint 6, which according to FIG. 3 has two main joint sections 6a and 6b along the main axis. According to FIG. 3, a resilient connecting piece 8 in the form of an angled spiral spring is arranged between the two main joint sections 6a and 6b. It is connected to the lower part 2 and the cover 4 in secondary joints 10 and 12.

Nach Figur 4 ist die Anordnung umgekehrt. Es ist nur ein einziges Hauptgelenk 6 vorhanden, während beiderseits des Hauptgelenks zwei hier bogenförmige, federnde Verbindungsstücke 8a und 8b, vorgesehen sind. Diese sind in Nebengelenken 10 und 12 mit Unterteil und Deckel verbunden.According to Figure 4, the arrangement is reversed. There is only a single main joint 6, while two resilient connecting pieces 8a and 8b are provided on both sides of the main joint. These are connected in secondary joints 10 and 12 with the lower part and cover.

Wird der Deckel aus der dargestellten Offenstellung gegen den Unterteil geschwenkt, so wird das federnde Verbindungsstück elastisch verformt. Es wirkt wie eine Zugfeder. Das Schnappscharnier erreicht etwa in der Mitte seines Schwenkweges eine Stellung labilen Gleichgewichts, in der die Achse des Hauptgelenks und die Achsen der Nebengelenke in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Aus dieser Stellung heraus schnappt der Deckel entweder in Schließstellung oder zurück in Offenstellung.If the cover is pivoted against the lower part from the open position shown, the resilient connecting piece is elastically deformed. It acts like a tension spring. The snap hinge reaches an unstable equilibrium position approximately in the middle of its swivel path, in which the axis of the main joint and the axes of the secondary joints lie in a common plane. The cover snaps out of this position either in the closed position or back to the open position.

Figur 2 zeigt, daß das Hauptgelenk 6 und die Nebengelenke 10 und 12 nach dem Stand der Technik als Filmscharniere ausgebildet sind, also eine sehr geringe Länge quer zur Gelenkachse haben. Wie Figur 1 zeigt, ist das Hauptgelenk 6' dagegen als Band 16 ausgebildet, dessen Länge das 3- bis 8fache seiner Dicke beträgt. So können die Dicke z. B. 0,3 mm und die Länge 1 bis 2 mm betragen. Werden auch die Nebengelenke 10' und 12' als Bänder ausgebildet, so gelten hierfür die gleichen Verhältnisse von Länge zu Dicke.FIG. 2 shows that the main joint 6 and the secondary joints 10 and 12 are designed as film hinges according to the prior art, that is to say they have a very small length transverse to the joint axis. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 1, the main joint 6 'is designed as a band 16, the length of which is 3 to 8 times its thickness. So the thickness z. B. 0.3 mm and the length 1 to 2 mm. If the secondary joints 10 'and 12' are also designed as ligaments, the same ratios of length to thickness apply here.
