Abstract

The two-sided plastic stopper has a lower portion (1) that can be secured to the neck of a container (14, 15) and a measuring cup (2) which can be reversed and set on the lower portion so as to form a seal, this serving as a cap. A tubular spout (11) is surrounded by a concentric annular wall (12). In this way a trough (18) is formed together with the connecting wall (13) between the spout (11) and the annular wall (12), this trough having a drain (19) that leads back to the container. Within the base of the measuring cup (21) there is a centrally arranged annular wall (23) in the form of a sealing plug. This sealing plug (23) and the tubular spout (11) fit together in a form fit so as to seal each other and have connecting means that act together, preferably threads (17, 24, respectively).

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kunststoffver­schluss für einen Behälter für fliessfähige Medien mit einem als Deckel dienenden Messbecher.The present invention relates to a plastic closure for a container for flowable media with a measuring cup serving as a lid.

Verschlüsse der oben genannten Art sind beispielsweise aus der FR-A-1.448.275 und der EU-A 0 109 704 bekannt. Die bekannten Verschlüsse haben einen auf dem Behälter befestigbaren Unterteil, mit einer nach aussen gerich­teten rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung und einer sie umgeben­den Wand, die einen ringförmigen Trog um die rohrförmige Ausgussöffnung bildet. Der ringförmige Trog weist einen Abfluss zur Rückführung von darin befindlichen Restmengen des Mediums in den Behälter auf. Der als Deckel dienende Messbecher liegt im geschlossenen Zustand mit seinem Be­ cherrand innerhalb des ringförmigen Troges. Somit fliessen die Restmengen vom Messbecher in den ringförmi­gen Trog und von dort in den Behälter zurück. Die Verbindung des Messbechers mit dem Unterteil erfolgt mittels Befestigungsmitteln, die an der Messbecheraussen­wand und an der Innenseite, der die Ausgussöffnung umge­benden Wand angebracht sind. Ueblicherweise sind die vorgesehenen Verbindungsmittel zusammenpassende Gewinde.Closures of the type mentioned above are known for example from FR-A-1.448.275 and EU-A 0 109 704. The known closures have a lower part which can be fastened on the container, with an outwardly directed tubular pouring opening and a wall surrounding it, which forms an annular trough around the tubular pouring opening. The annular trough has a drain for returning residual amounts of the medium therein to the container. The measuring cup serving as a lid lies in the closed state with its loading cherrand within the annular trough. The remaining quantities flow from the measuring cup into the ring-shaped trough and from there back into the container. The measuring cup is connected to the lower part by means of fastening means which are attached to the outside of the measuring cup and to the inside of the wall surrounding the pouring opening. The connecting means provided are usually mating threads.

Der Grundgedanke solcher Verschlüsse besteht darin, die äusserliche Verschmutzung des Verschlusses zu vermeiden. Gegenüber Verschlüssen, bei denen der Messbecher einfach über den Unterteil am Behältnis gestülpt wurde, stellt jene Generation der Verschlüsse mit Rücklauf eine wesent­liche Verbesserung dar. Entgegen allen Erwartungen stellt sich nach mehrmaliger Benützung aber trotzdem eine Verschmutzung des Verschlusses ein. Begründet ist diese Verschmutzung durch die Zusammenwirkung zweier Effekte. Die in dem Messbecher abgemessene Dosiermenge hat beim Entleeren die Neigung, am Messbecherrand zu haften und zieht je nach Oberflächenspannung des entsprechenden fliessfähigen Mediums mehr oder weniger stark der äusse­ren Becherwandung nach. Dabei kommen Restmengen in den Bereich der Gewinde. Bei jedem Schliessvorgang wird ein neues, relativ geringes Quantum des Mediums im Gewinde hoch gefördert und gelangt schliesslich ausserhalb des Gewindes in den äusseren Bereich des Verschlusses. Die Anmelderin hat diese Effekte erkannt und sich daher zur Aufgabe gestellt, einen Verschluss zu schaffen, bei dem diese unerwünschte Wirkung vermieden wird.The basic idea of such closures is to avoid external contamination of the closure. Compared to closures, in which the measuring cup was simply put over the lower part of the container, that generation of closures with return is a significant improvement. Contrary to all expectations, however, the closure becomes dirty after repeated use. This pollution is due to the interaction of two effects. The metered quantity measured in the measuring cup tends to adhere to the edge of the measuring cup when emptying and, depending on the surface tension of the corresponding flowable medium, more or less pulls towards the outer cup wall. Remaining quantities come into the Area of thread. With each closing process, a new, relatively small quantity of the medium is pumped up in the thread and finally ends up outside the thread in the outer area of the closure. The applicant has recognized these effects and has therefore set itself the task of creating a closure in which this undesirable effect is avoided.

Diese Aufgabe löst ein Kunststoffverschluss gemäss Ober­begriff des Anspruches 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der als Deckel dienende Messbecher (2) eine mit der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung (11) dichtend zusammenpassen­de, zentrisch im Messbecherboden (21) angeordnete Ring­wand (23) aufweist, an der Befestigungsmittel (24) ange­bracht sind, die mit Befestigungsmitteln (17) an der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung (11) zusammenwirken.This object is achieved by a plastic closure according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the measuring cup (2) serving as a lid has an annular wall (23) on the fastening means, which fits tightly with the tubular pouring opening (11) and is arranged centrally in the measuring cup base (21) (24) are attached, which cooperate with fastening means (17) on the tubular pouring opening (11).

Durch die Verlegung der Verbindungsmittel vom äusseren Messbecherrand, in dessen inneren und vom Randbereich des Unterteiles in den Bereich des Ausgusses, wird die Zusam­menwirkung der oben genannten Effekte vermieden. Weitere Vorteile und Ausführungsformen gehen aus den ab­hängigen Ansprüchen hervor und sind in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand der anliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert.The interaction of the above-mentioned effects is avoided by laying the connecting means from the outer edge of the measuring cup, in its inner and from the edge area of the lower part into the area of the spout. Further advantages and embodiments emerge from the dependent claims and are in the following Description explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In der Seitenansicht der Figur 1 erkennt man den Unter­teil 1 als rohrförmigen Mantel und den umgekehrt darauf aufgestülpten, konischen Messbecher 2, der als Deckel des Verschlusses dient. Die deutlich erkennbaren Rippen 20 erhöhen die Griffigkeit. Der in der Gebrauchslage obere Rand des Messbechers 2 liegt im geschlossenen Zustand des Verschlusses innerhalb des Unterteiles 1.In the side view of FIG. 1, the lower part 1 can be seen as a tubular jacket and the conical measuring cup 2, which is put upside down and serves as a cover for the closure. The clearly recognizable ribs 20 increase the grip. The upper edge of the measuring cup 2 in the position of use lies in the closed state of the closure within the lower part 1.

Der Unterteil 1 ist in Figur 2 in grösserem Massstab im Detail dargestellt. Im wesentlichen besteht der Unterteil 1 aus einer rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung 11, welche von einer Ringwand 12 umgeben ist. Die Ringwand 12 und der rohrförmige Ausguss 11 sind über eine zur Längsachse geneigte Zwischenwand 13 miteinander verbunden. Die Innenseite der Ringwand 12 ist mit einem Innengewinde 14 versehen, welches auf das Aussengewinde eines nicht dargestellten Behälterhalses passt. Der unterste Bereich der Ringwandinnenseite ist mit einer sägezahnförmigen Verzahnung 15 versehen, die mit einer ebensolchen Verzah­nung am unteren Rand des Behälterhalses übereinstimmt und das Abschrauben des Unterteiles 1 vom Behälterhals verhindert.The lower part 1 is shown in detail on a larger scale in FIG. Basically, the lower part 1 consists of a tubular pouring opening 11, which is surrounded by an annular wall 12. The ring wall 12 and the tubular spout 11 are connected to one another via an intermediate wall 13 inclined to the longitudinal axis. The inside of the ring wall 12 is provided with an internal thread 14 which fits on the external thread of a container neck, not shown. The lowermost area of the inside of the ring wall is provided with a sawtooth-shaped toothing 15, which coincides with such toothing at the lower edge of the container neck and prevents the lower part 1 from being unscrewed from the container neck.

Die Zwischenwand 13 ist peripher soweit hochgezogen, dass genügend Raum zur Aufnahme des Behälterhalses verbleibt. Sie bildet an ihrem oberen Ende eine ringförmige Schulter 16, die zentrisch zur Ausgussöffnung hin geneigt ist. Die sich über die Ringwand 12 erheblich hinaus er­streckende rohrförmige Ausgussöffnung 11, weist ein Innengewinde 17 auf. Ohne den Bereich der Erfindung zu verlassen und unter Beibehaltung der gewünschten Vortei­ le, kann das Gewinde 17 auch aussen an der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung 11 angebracht sein.The intermediate wall 13 has been raised peripherally to such an extent that sufficient space remains for receiving the neck of the container. At its upper end it forms an annular shoulder 16 which is inclined centrally towards the pouring opening. The tubular pouring opening 11, which extends considerably beyond the ring wall 12, has an internal thread 17. Without leaving the scope of the invention and while maintaining the desired advantage le, the thread 17 can also be attached to the outside of the tubular pouring opening 11.

Eventuelle Restmengen des fliessfähigen Mediums, die ent­lang der Aussenwand der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung hinunterlaufen, gelangen in den ringförmigen Trog 18, der durch die Ringwand 12 und die Zwischenwand 13 um die rohrförmige Ausgussöffnung 11 herum verlaufend, gebildet ist. Für die Rückführung dieser Restmenge vom Trog 18, in den nicht dargestellten Behälter, ist die zur Längsachse geneigt verlaufende Zwischenwand 13 mindestens an ihrer tiefsten Stelle mit einem Abfluss 19 versehen.
Liegt der Behälter, der mit dem erfindungsgemässen Verschluss versehen ist, so fliesst durch den Abfluss 19 Flüssigkeit aus dem Behältnis in den Verschluss und den Messbecher. Stellt man ihn auf und schraubt den Messbe­cher 2 ab, so fliesst diese Flüssigkeit grösstenteils zurück in den Behälter. Wird aber anschliessend sogleich Flüssigkeit ausgeschenkt, so kann doch noch relativ viel Flüssigkeit im Trog 18 zusammenfliessen und über den Rand der Ringwand 12 gelangen. Um dies zu vermeiden, ist eine sich um einen Teilumfang der geneigten Schulter er­streckende kleinere Rückhaltelippe 30 und eine weiter obenliegende grössere Rückhaltelippe 31 angeordnet. Die beiden Rückhaltelippen 30 und 31 bilden zusammen eine Art Kaskade ähnlich einer Bachverbauung.Any remaining amounts of the flowable medium that run down the outer wall of the tubular pouring opening reach the annular trough 18, which is formed by the annular wall 12 and the intermediate wall 13 around the tubular pouring opening 11. For the return of this residual amount from the trough 18 into the container (not shown), the intermediate wall 13, which is inclined to the longitudinal axis, is provided with an outlet 19 at least at its lowest point.
If the container which is provided with the closure according to the invention lies, then liquid flows out of the container through the drain 19 into the closure and the measuring cup. If you set it up and unscrew the measuring cup 2, most of this liquid flows back into the container. However, if liquid is subsequently poured out immediately, a relatively large amount of liquid can still flow together in the trough 18 and pass over the edge of the ring wall 12. To avoid this, one smaller retention lip 30 extends around a partial circumference of the inclined shoulder and another arranged larger retention lip 31. The two retaining lips 30 and 31 together form a kind of cascade similar to a stream covering.

Die detaillierte Gestaltung des als Deckel dienenden Messbechers, ist aus der Figur 3 ersichtlich. Der Mess­becher 2 hat einen ebenen Boden 21 und eine zum Messbecherboden konisch zulaufende Becherseitenwand 22. Im Messbecherboden ist zentrisch eine rohrförmig gestal­tete Ringwand 23 angeformt. Der durch die Ringwand 23 gebildete Dichtzapfen hat einen Aussendurchmesser, der dem Innendurchmesser der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung 11 angepasst ist. Der Dichtzapfen, beziehungsweise die Ringwand 23, ist mit einem Aussengewinde 24 versehen, welche beim Schliessen des Verschlusses mit dem Innengewinde im rohrförmigen Ausguss zusammenwirkt. Zur Erhöhung der Dichtung kann um den Dichtzapfen noch eine in der Zeichnung strichliniert und im Schnitt darge­stellte Dichtlippe 25 vorgesehen sein.The detailed design of the measuring cup serving as a lid can be seen in FIG. 3. The measuring cup 2 has a flat bottom 21 and a cup side wall 22 that tapers conically to the measuring cup bottom. A tubular annular wall 23 is formed centrally in the measuring cup bottom. The sealing pin formed by the annular wall 23 has an outer diameter which is adapted to the inner diameter of the tubular pouring opening 11. The sealing pin, or the ring wall 23, is provided with an external thread 24, which cooperates with the internal thread in the tubular spout when the closure is closed. To increase the seal, a sealing lip 25 shown in broken lines in the drawing and shown in section can be provided around the sealing pin.

Ist der Durchmesser der rohrförmigen Ausgussöffnung klein, so ist es auch möglich, wie bereits früher be­schrieben, das Gewinde an der Aussenseite der Ausguss­ öffnung anzubringen, was natürlich bedingt, dass dann das damit zusammenwirkende Gewinde an der Ringwand 23 im Becherboden 21 an der Ringwandinnenseite angebracht ist.If the diameter of the tubular spout opening is small, it is also possible, as described earlier, for the thread on the outside of the spout Attach opening, which of course means that the thread cooperating with it is then attached to the ring wall 23 in the cup bottom 21 on the inside of the ring wall.

Gegenüber dem Messbecherrand 26 etwas zurückversetzt, ist an der Becheraussenwand 22 eine umlaufende Schulter 27 zu erkennen. Die Schulter 27 liegt im geschlossenen Zustand des Verschlusses bündig auf der Ringwand 12, des Unter­teiles 1 auf und bildet so eine Pressdichtung zwischen Unterteil 1 und Messbecher 2. Von der umlaufenden Schulter 27 zum Becherrand 26, ist die Becherwand 22 zu einer scharfkantig zulaufenden, ringförmigen Lippe 28 geformt. Die scharfkantige Lippe 28 verbessert so einer­seits die Ausschankeigenschaft des Messbechers 2 und andererseits bildet sie eine zusätzliche Dichtung zwischen dem Deckel 2 und dem Unterteil 1, indem sie im geschlossenen Zustand des Verschlusses, auf der konisch zum Trog 18 geneigten Schulter 16 aufliegt.Set back somewhat from the measuring cup edge 26, a circumferential shoulder 27 can be seen on the outside wall 22 of the cup. The shoulder 27 lies flush with the ring wall 12, the lower part 1 in the closed state of the closure and thus forms a press seal between the lower part 1 and the measuring cup 2. From the circumferential shoulder 27 to the cup edge 26, the cup wall 22 is formed into an annular, tapering edge Lip 28 shaped. The sharp-edged lip 28 thus improves the serving property of the measuring cup 2 on the one hand and on the other hand it forms an additional seal between the lid 2 and the lower part 1 by resting on the shoulder 16 which is conically inclined to the trough 18 when the closure is closed.

Gegenüber der Lippe 28 leicht nach oben versetzt ist eine nach aussen gerichteter Ringwulst 29 vorgesehen. Dieser streift beim Aufschrauben des Messbechers 2, an der Ringwand 12 haftende Restmengen in den Trog 18 ab. Der Zwischenraum zwischen der Schulter 27 und dem Ringwulst 29 stellt einen Expansionsraum dar, der verhindert, dass dort verbleibende kleine Mengen der Flüssigkeit heraus gepresst werden und so den Verschluss nicht verschmutzen.An outwardly directed annular bead 29 is provided opposite the lip 28 slightly upwards. When the measuring cup 2 is screwed on, this scrapes off residual amounts adhering to the ring wall 12 into the trough 18. The The space between the shoulder 27 and the annular bead 29 represents an expansion space which prevents small amounts of the liquid remaining there from being pressed out and thus not contaminating the closure.

Der Dichtzapfen, der aus der Ringwand 23 im Messbecher­boden 21 gebildet ist, kann zudem noch als zweiter Mess­becher zum Abmessen geringerer Quantitäten dienen. Dieses ist von erheblichem Vorteil, bedenkt man, dass bei den bisherigen Lösungen Masseinheiten, die lediglich in Form von kaum sichtbaren Kennzeichen an der Messbecherinnen­wand eingraphiert waren.The sealing pin, which is formed from the ring wall 23 in the measuring cup base 21, can also serve as a second measuring cup for measuring smaller quantities. This is a considerable advantage, considering that in the previous solutions, units of measurement that were only graphically marked on the inside of the measuring cup in the form of barely visible signs.

In Fällen, in denen die Behälter liegend transportiert werden, kann sich der Hohlraum zwischen der Ringwand 23 und der Becheraussenwand 22, sowie der Trog 18 voll­ständig füllen.
Stellt man den Behälter auf und öffnet man den Ver­schluss, so kann eine noch erhebliche Restmenge des Be­hälterinhalts sich im Messbecher 2 befinden. Der Grund ist darin zu sehen, dass der rohrförmige Ausguss 11 dich­tend verschlossen ist und der relativ kleine Abfluss 19 auch durch die Restmenge des Behälterinhalts verschlossen ist und somit der Luftaustausch zwischen dem Hohlraum im Verschluss und dem Behälter behindert ist.
Die Auführungsformen gemäss den Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen eine Lösung für dieses Problem. Der rohrförmige Ausguss 11 weist hierzu einen länglichen Durchbruch 40 auf. Dieser Durchbruch 40 stellt einerseits eine vergrösserte Rückflussöffnung dar und andrerseits eine Luftaustausch­öffnung zwischen dem Hohlraum unter dem Verschlussdeckel 2 und dem Behälter unter dem Verschlussunterteil 1. Damit aber diese Oeffnung 40 nicht auch dazu führt, dass schon bei relativ geringer Neigung der Inhalt aus dem Behälter in den Verschluss strömen kann, ist die Oeffnung 40 von einer Wand 41 umgeben. Diese Wand 41 bildet einen Kamin durch den der Luftaustausch stattfinden kann. Tests haben gezeigt, dass auch unter ungünstigen Voraussetzungen der Behälterhals innert der üblichen Aufschraubzeit zurück­fliessen kann.
Selbstverständlich soll die längliche Oeffnung 40, die parallel zur Längsachse des Verschlusses läuft auf jener Seite des rohrförmigen Ausgusses angebracht sein, an der auch der Abfluss 19 liegt, dass heisst in der den Rück­haltelippen 30, 31 abgelegenen Wandpartie des Ausgusses. Der schräg abgeschnittene rohrförmige Ausguss 11 bildet so eine Ausgusslippe 11ʹ, die eine eindeutige Ausguss­richtung definiert.In cases in which the containers are transported lying down, the cavity between the ring wall 23 and the cup outer wall 22 and the trough 18 can fill up completely.
If you set up the container and open the closure, there can still be a considerable amount of the container in the measuring cup 2. The reason for this can be seen in the fact that the tubular spout 11 is sealed and the relatively small drain 19 is also closed by the remaining amount of the container contents is and thus the air exchange between the cavity in the closure and the container is hindered.
The embodiments according to FIGS. 4 and 5 show a solution to this problem. For this purpose, the tubular spout 11 has an elongated opening 40. This opening 40 represents on the one hand an enlarged backflow opening and on the other hand an air exchange opening between the cavity under the closure lid 2 and the container under the closure lower part 1. However, this opening 40 does not also mean that the contents of the container in can flow the closure, the opening 40 is surrounded by a wall 41. This wall 41 forms a chimney through which the air exchange can take place. Tests have shown that, even under unfavorable conditions, the container neck can flow back within the usual unscrewing time.
Of course, the elongated opening 40, which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the closure, should be provided on that side of the tubular spout on which the drain 19 is also located, that is to say in the wall part of the spout remote from the retaining lips 30, 31. The obliquely cut tubular spout 11 forms such a pouring lip 11ʹ, which defines a clear pouring direction.
