Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for in particular free-flowing, intended for consumption products with a hull that has an inwardly folded bead on its open side, a lid attached to it, a removal opening and a closure member in the form of a slide with a handle that consists of a Open position can be brought into a closed position in which it is locked by means of a lock acting as a child lock.
  • a container for in particular free-flowing, intended for consumption products with a hull that has an inwardly folded bead on its open side, a lid attached to it, a removal opening and a closure member in the form of a slide with a handle that consists of a Open position can be brought into a closed position in which it is locked by means of a lock acting as a child lock.
  • a container is known from DE-A-36 43 600.
  • Packaging containers with a removal opening which can be closed by a slide, in particular on the lid of the packaging container are known.
  • the removal opening can only make up a part of the lid and can be used, for example, as a sprinkling opening, metering opening or the like for removing partial quantities, or can also be designed as a full opening if, for example, the filling material is to be removed in one go and decanted or the contents are removed in portions by reaching into the container.
  • the slide covers only a partial area on the cover, in the latter case it essentially forms the closure cover itself.
  • Such a slide can be designed as a linear slide or - especially in the former case - as a rotary slide.
  • Packaging containers of this type serve primarily to hold free-flowing products and can be any, in particular also a different from the circular shape, for. B. have substantially rectangular cross-section.
  • Packaging containers of this type often contain contents which have health-impairing or hazardous properties. This applies, for example, to household cleaners, detergents or the like. Such products, in particular, must not be accessible to small children.
  • a lock e.g. DE-A-36 43 600
  • the locking is generally such that it is alone is overcome by the opening movement, be it a linear sliding movement or a rotary movement. Adequate child protection is not provided.
  • US-A-3 240 373 in that the lock can only be actuated with an additional tool, which is, however, cumbersome.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a packaging container of the aforementioned construction with an all-round bead at the opening edge with an effective child safety device.
  • the cover on approximately opposite sides has the bulges engaging noses, of which at least part of the slide is guided on the cover and between the closed position in which the cover is fixed to the fuselage and the lock is engaged , can be moved into the open position by means of the handle accessible on the top of the lid and after actuation of the catches, in which the lid can be lifted off by releasing the entire open side of the fuselage.
  • the lid can have the basic shape known from loose slip lids, namely have an edge flange overlapping the container body on the open side with an inwardly drawn-in cover disk.
  • the edge flange is only to be designed so that it overlaps the bead, possibly with a little pretension.
  • the cover in the region of the edge flange has at least two approximately opposite lugs, at least one of which is designed as a slide or is part of one which is operated by means of the handle is movable between an open position and a closed position.
  • the lid In the open position, the lid is placed on the bead, possibly inserted at an incline so that the nose can reach under the bead, and the slide is then moved into the closed position so that he or his nose also pushes the bead on the opposite side Reaches under.
  • the slide can be guided on the underside of the cover by guide elements molded onto the cover.
  • the lid In the closed position of the slide, the lid is connected to the fuselage and the slide is at the same time latched onto the lid, so that even if the container tips over or is lifted, contents cannot escape on the lid.
  • the lid can only be separated from the fuselage by consciously manipulating the handle that moves the slide and by unlocking the lock.
  • the open position the entire cross-section of the container is exposed, so that the contents can be removed not only by pouring, but also by means of a portioning vessel.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least the nose opposite the slide, which is firmly connected to the cover, is designed as a spring latching nose engaging under the bead on the fuselage.
  • the cover only needs to be pressed onto the bulge of the fuselage when the slider is retracted, the nose engaging automatically.
  • the nose of the slide is designed as a spring catch so that the cover only has to be pressed onto the fuselage regardless of the position of the slide, but in particular even when the slide is closed. This is especially true for the bottling plant the advantage that the lid supplied in or behind the filling station can be placed easily, if necessary by machine.
  • the spring catches only spring out when the cover is put on and engage behind the bead under tensile forces acting on the cover, so that the container can be lifted on the cover without the latter becoming detached.
  • the lock has at least two detents arranged at a distance from one another, but in the grip area of the fingers of one hand, which are effective in the closed position of the slide and can only be released with at least two fingers for opening the same.
  • the slide is held in the closed position by at least two notches. These two catches must be pressed simultaneously in order to be able to move the slide, in particular to lead it into the open position.
  • the catches are designed and arranged in such a way that at least two fingers are necessary to release the catches and to be able to move the slide.
  • the movement of the slide itself can then not be carried out with the same hand, but the user must also use the second hand. A toddler cannot easily understand these considerations.
  • the securing can be further improved in that the catches are arranged at such a distance from one another that the span to be bridged for the simultaneous attachment of two fingers is greater than the possible span of two fingers of a child's hand. In this case, a toddler has no option to open the slide due to the two-handed operation required.
  • the rest can held in any position in the closed position and brought into the unlocked position, for example by pulling, pressing, turning or the like.
  • the two catches can be offset next to one another on a line perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slider or one behind the other or in alignment in the direction of movement of the slider.
  • the type of arrangement depends primarily on the shape and size of the container and the aspects to be observed for the removal opening and its arrangement.
  • the catches at the same time form an effective protection against untimely opening, for example by inadvertent action on the slide, by bumping, tipping over or the like.
  • This solution principle can be implemented constructively, for example, by the two catches being effective one after the other in the direction of movement of the slide.
  • the two catches are arranged and designed so that one catch is only effective in the closed position, the other in the direction of movement of the slide between the closed position and the intermediate position.
  • both detents are effective in the closed position. If they are pressed simultaneously with two fingers and only for a short time, one of the catches is triggered, but the other remains effective and must either be pressed continuously until the intermediate layer is reached or must be pressed again in the intermediate layer.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the catches are formed from openings arranged on the slide or on the cover and approximately of the same shape and serving as actuators for resiliently locking cams.
  • This embodiment can be realized constructively, for example, in that the actuators are arranged on resilient tongues.
  • the usual locking of the slide in the closed position can be dispensed with, since this task can be performed by at least one of the catches.
  • the design can be such that in the closed position of the slide an actuating member engages in an opening on the slider, while the second actuating member and the second opening are disengaged and only engage in the intermediate position.
  • one of the projections must first be pressed into the opening so that the slide can be moved into the intermediate layer.
  • the second projection engages in the second opening and must be actuated by a further finger pressure in order to finally bring the slide into the open position.
  • one opening is of the same shape as the actuating member, the other is an elongated hole extending in the direction of movement of the slide between the closed position and the intermediate position.
  • the one projection remains within the elongated hole until the slide moved out of the closed position has reached the intermediate position. To open it is therefore necessary to either press both actuators at the same time and to allow the pressure on the actuating member guided in the elongated hole to last until the intermediate position, or to actuate the actuating member again so that the slide can only then be moved into the open position.
  • a further embodiment consists in that the lock is formed by at least one cam which is resiliently arranged on the cover and a locking surface on the slide cooperating with it, and in that the cam also forms the actuating element for the lock.
  • the blocking surface on the slide can in turn be an opening into which the cam engages, or else a simple stop surface, for example on the end of the slide facing away from the bead, behind which the cam engages in the closed position.
  • the cam or its actuating member can be brought into a position releasing the lock by a pulling or pushing movement.
  • the spring action can be obtained from the elasticity of the material of the cover or slide or by appropriate shaping thereof.
  • the lock is formed by at least one toothed bar arranged on the underside of the cover and a corresponding toothed bar arranged on the slide, the latter being able to be disengaged against the spring action by means of an actuating member.
  • the toothed strips can have an asymmetrical tooth profile, for example be designed like a saw tooth, so that, for example, actuation of the lock is not necessary for closing the slide.
  • the teeth slide away from one another, but fulfill their locking function when the slide is in the opposite direction.
  • An embodiment of this embodiment is characterized in that the toothed strip on the cover lies in a plane parallel to the cover surface and that the actuating member for the other toothed strip on the slide also forms its handle.
  • the actuator for the lock and the handle for the slide coincide.
  • the actuator To open the slide, the actuator must first be pressed down to disengage the toothed strips. Then a sliding movement must then be effective on the actuator to move the slide from the closed position and to be able to lift the lid.
  • the lock can also be designed such that the toothed strip on the cover lies in a plane perpendicular to the cover surface.
  • the toothed strips are advantageously arranged so that the actuating movement for releasing the lock and for moving the slide are perpendicular to one another, so that two-hand operation is necessary in any case.
  • this embodiment can be modified such that two toothed strips are provided at a distance from one another and with the teeth facing each other and that two toothed strips with one another on the slide turned toothings are provided, which are forced outwards under the spring action into the toothed strips on the cover and come out of engagement by means of two actuating members to be pressed against one another with one hand.
  • the actuating members of the two toothed strips are pressed toward one another, for example, with the fingers of one hand and the handle of the slide is actuated with the other hand.
  • the slide is held by a spring in the closed position, which is designed as a resilient kink support with dead center position, in which the slide is held in the closed position, and that the kink support also serves as a lock by the The crest of the kink support forms the actuating element of the lock and can be brought into an unstable position by pressure via the dead center position, in which the slide can be moved by means of the handle.
  • Such an anti-kink support gives the possibility of injecting the slide directly in one piece with the cover, for example via so-called film hinges.
  • the kink support has a stable position in its one kink position, in which the slide is in the closed position. The slide can therefore only be moved into the open position while overcoming the dead center position. By pressing on the top of the kink, the kink support can be brought over the dead center position into the other kink position, in which it is unstable due to the articulated film hinges, so that the slide can be moved into the open position.
  • two slides can be provided, each with a handle, each of which is assigned a lock.
  • both locks must be released in order to be able to move the slide into the open position.
  • Containers of the aforementioned type in particular large household packs, generally have a handle which is pivotally mounted, for example, on the body of the container or on the lid.
  • the handle also forms part of the lock for the slide and the lock can be released by means of the pivoting movement of the handle.
  • the handle is therefore used for a further purpose by simultaneously serving as part of the child safety device.
  • the lock has a cam which is resiliently arranged on the cover or on the slide and which engages in a receptacle which is arranged on the cover and is open at the top, and in that the handle is pivoted with a section into the receptacle, displacing the cam is insertable.
  • This also provides an extremely effective child safety device, in that the handle, which is obviously used for other purposes, is used for a purpose that is not intended for it and is also not foreseeable by a small child.
  • the aforementioned securing is particularly effective when the handle, as usual, has a band-shaped cross section, and also the receptacle is correspondingly slit-shaped.
  • the slot forming the receptacle can be so narrow and, in this case, the ledge-shaped cam can be recessed in the receptacle so that it is impossible to actuate the cam by hand, ie it can only be operated by the carrying handle or a correspondingly narrow auxiliary tool the recording can be suppressed.
  • containers of the aforementioned type are bulk packaging, they must be correspondingly inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the lock is connected via a joint to the cover or the slide and is injection-molded together in one piece with them.
  • a one-piece injection molding of this relatively complicated structure of cover, slide and lock with handle, actuating member and guides can be easily achieved by means of an injection molding tool, in which the cover and slide are sprayed in different planes converging in the joints.
  • the lid of the container forms, together with the slide, a uniform component that can be retrofitted to the container body.
  • this component can be retrofitted as a whole to the open end of a container, for. B. flanging, gluing or sealing.
  • the cover has at least on two opposite sides of guide surfaces lying one above the other, between which the slide is movable.
  • the guide surfaces are preferably in one piece with the container lid.
  • the cover can have an annular flange which can be connected to the container body and a wall covering the free cross section of the container body up to the removal opening, the slide being in the open position approximately above this wall and this having the tongues with the actuating members.
  • the removal opening thus takes up only a part of the cross section of the container, and is therefore primarily used for portioned removal of the filling material by pouring.
  • the lid is essentially designed as an annular flange, the two circumferential projecting into the free cross-section of the container body and the guide surfaces for the Has slide forming guide strips, and that on one of the lower guide strips, the tongues with the actuators and corresponding openings are arranged on the upper guide bar above, which are aligned with the openings in the slide in its closed position and how these are penetrated by the actuators.
  • the container 1 consists of a body 2 with a rectangular cross section in the exemplary embodiment shown, a bottom 3 which closes the body 2 on one side and is drawn inwards, a cover 4 which closes the opposite opening and a carrying handle 5 which is by means of Rivets 6 is pivotally mounted on the fuselage 2.
  • the container serves, for example, as a large household pack for detergents, dishwashing detergents or the like.
  • the fuselage 2 has an inwardly folded bead 7 at the opening opposite the bottom 3, as can be seen in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the bead 7 is formed all around and initially stiffens the fuselage 2 in the area of the opening. In addition, it serves to attach the cover 4.
  • the cover 4 has an edge flange 8 which overlaps the bead 7 from above and a lower-lying cover plate 9 which are formed in one piece. Furthermore, the lid has a nose 10, 11 that engages under the bead 7 on approximately opposite sides.

  • the guide 13 can be formed, for example, by spring noses 15 molded onto the underside of the cover plate 9, which engage in parallel slots in the slide 12.
  • the cover 4 To put on the cover 4, this is first placed in an inclined position with the nose 10 ahead on the left part of the fuselage, so that the nose 10 engages under the bead 7 there. Then the cover 4 is tilted downwards to the right and placed on the bead 7 and finally the slide 12 is moved back into the closed position. For this purpose, the handle 14 is guided in an elongated hole 16 (see FIG. 4) in the cover plate 9.

Abstract

A container, in particular for free-flowing products, has a body (2), a base (3) connected to one side of the body, a lid (4) connected to the other side of the body, a withdrawal opening and a closure element in the form of a slide. The container is easy to handle and childproof, because the closure element (17) has at least two catches (18, 19) which, although located at a distance apart, can nevertheless be gripped by the fingers of one hand, are effective when the slide (12) is in the closed position, and can be released simultaneously by only two fingers.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter für insbesondere rieselfähige, zum Verbrauch bestimmte Produkte mit einem Rumpf, der an seiner offenen Seite einen nach innen umgelegten Wulst aufweist, einem daran festgelegten Deckel, einer Entnahmeöffnung und einem Verschlußorgan in Form eines Schiebers mit einer Handhabe, der aus einer Öffnungslage in eine Schließlage bringbar ist, in der er mittels einer als Kindersicherung wirkenden Sperre arretiert ist. Ein solcher Behälter ist aus der DE-A-36 43 600 bekannt.The invention relates to a container for in particular free-flowing, intended for consumption products with a hull that has an inwardly folded bead on its open side, a lid attached to it, a removal opening and a closure member in the form of a slide with a handle that consists of a Open position can be brought into a closed position in which it is locked by means of a lock acting as a child lock. Such a container is known from DE-A-36 43 600.

Verpackungsbehälter mit einer durch einen Schieber verschließbaren Entnahmeöffnung, insbesondere am Deckel des Verpackungsbehälters, sind bekannt. Dabei kann die Entnahmeöffnung nur einen Teil des Deckels ausmachen und beispielsweise als Streuöffnung, Dosieröffnung od. dgl. zur Entnahme von Teilmengen dienen, oder aber auch als Vollöffnung ausgebildet sein, wenn beispielsweise das Füllgut in einem Zug entnommen, umgefüllt werden soll oder aber das Füllgut durch Hineingreifen in den Behälter in Portionen entnommen wird. Während beim erstgenannten Fall der Schieber nur eine Teilfläche am Deckel abdeckt, bildet er im letztgenannten Fall im wesentlichen selbst den Verschlußdeckel. Ein solcher Schieber kann als Linearschieber oder aber - vor allem im erstgenannten Fall - als Drehschieber ausgebildet sein. Verpackungsbehälter dieser Art dienen in erster Linie zur Aufnahme von rieselfähigen Produkten und können beliebigen, insbesondere auch einen von der Kreisform abweichenden, z. B. im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweisen.Packaging containers with a removal opening which can be closed by a slide, in particular on the lid of the packaging container, are known. The removal opening can only make up a part of the lid and can be used, for example, as a sprinkling opening, metering opening or the like for removing partial quantities, or can also be designed as a full opening if, for example, the filling material is to be removed in one go and decanted or the contents are removed in portions by reaching into the container. While in the former case the slide covers only a partial area on the cover, in the latter case it essentially forms the closure cover itself. Such a slide can be designed as a linear slide or - especially in the former case - as a rotary slide. Packaging containers of this type serve primarily to hold free-flowing products and can be any, in particular also a different from the circular shape, for. B. have substantially rectangular cross-section.

Häufig enthalten Verpackungsbehälter dieser Art Füllgüter, die die Gesundheit beeinträchtigende oder gefährdende Eigenschaften aufweisen. Dies gilt beispielsweise für Haushaltsreiniger, Waschmittel od. dgl. Solche Produkte dürfen insbesondere für Kleinkinder nicht zugänglich sein. Um einen sicheren Verschluß des Verpackungsbehälters zu gewährleisten, ist es zwar bekannt, den Schieber in der Schließlage mittels einer Sperre zu arretieren (z. B. DE-A-36 43 600), jedoch ist die Arretierung im allgemeinen so beschaffen, daß sie allein durch die Öffnungsbewegung, sei es eine lineare Schiebebewegung oder eine Drehbewegung, überwunden wird. Eine ausreichende Kindersicherung ist damit nicht gegeben. Diese wird bei einem anderen bekannten Behälter (US-A-3 240 373) dadurch erreicht, daß die Sperre nur mit einem zusätzlichen Werkzeug betätigt werden kann, was jedoch umständlich ist. Schließlich ist es bei Dosen mit einem Stülpdeckel (US-A-4 520 921) bekannt, an der übergreifenden Schürze des Stülpdeckels an gegenüberliegenden Stellen Löcher vorzusehen, in die an der Außenwand des Behälters angeformte Zapfen in der Schließlage eingreifen. Die Wandung des Behälters und die Schürze des Deckels sind so weit elastisch verformbar, daß beim Aufsetzen des Deckels die Zapfen zurückweichen, bis sie in den Bereich der Löcher gelangen und dort einrasten. Zum Öffnen muß an gegenüberliegenden Seiten Druck auf die Zapfen ausgeübt und zugleich die Öffnungsbewegung durchgeführt werden, so daß die Löcher von den Zapfen freikommen und der Deckel völlig abgenommen werden kann.Packaging containers of this type often contain contents which have health-impairing or hazardous properties. This applies, for example, to household cleaners, detergents or the like. Such products, in particular, must not be accessible to small children. In order to ensure a secure closure of the packaging container, it is known to lock the slide in the closed position by means of a lock (e.g. DE-A-36 43 600), but the locking is generally such that it is alone is overcome by the opening movement, be it a linear sliding movement or a rotary movement. Adequate child protection is not provided. This is achieved in another known container (US-A-3 240 373) in that the lock can only be actuated with an additional tool, which is, however, cumbersome. Finally, in cans with a slip lid (US-A-4 520 921) it is known to provide holes on the overlapping apron of the slip lid at opposite locations, into which pins formed on the outer wall of the container engage in the closed position. The wall of the container and the apron of the lid are so elastically deformable that when the cover is put back the pins move back until they reach the area of the holes and engage there. To open, pressure must be exerted on the pins on opposite sides and at the same time the opening movement must be carried out, so that the holes come free from the pins and the cover can be removed completely.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verpakkungsbehälter des eingangs genannten Aufbaus mit einem am Öffnungsrand umlaufenden Wulst mit einer wirksamen Kindersicherung auszustatten.The invention has for its object to provide a packaging container of the aforementioned construction with an all-round bead at the opening edge with an effective child safety device.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Deckel an etwa gegenüberliegenden Seiten den Wulst untergreifende Nasen aufweist, von denen wenigstens eine Teil des Schiebers ist, der an dem Dekkel geführt und zwischen der Schließlage, in der der Deckel an Rumpf festgelegt und die Sperre eingerastet ist, mittels der an der Deckeloberseite zugänglichen Handhabe und nach Betätigen der Rasten in die Öffnungslage bewegbar ist, in der der Deckel unter Freigabe der gesamten offenen Seite des Rumpfs abhebbar ist.This object is achieved in that the cover on approximately opposite sides has the bulges engaging noses, of which at least part of the slide is guided on the cover and between the closed position in which the cover is fixed to the fuselage and the lock is engaged , can be moved into the open position by means of the handle accessible on the top of the lid and after actuation of the catches, in which the lid can be lifted off by releasing the entire open side of the fuselage.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung kann der Deckel die von losen Stülpdeckeln her bekannte Grundform aufweisen, nämlich einen den Behälterrumpf an der offenen Seite übergreifenden Randflansch mit einer nach innen eingezogenen Deckelscheibe besitzen. Der Randflansch ist lediglich so auszubilden, daß er den Wulst, gegebenenfalls mit etwas Vorspannung, übergreift. Abweichend von der bekannten Ausbildung weist der Deckel im Bereich des Randflansches wenigstens zwei etwa gegenüberliegende Nasen auf, von denen zumindest eine als Schieber ausgebildet bzw. Teil eines solchen ist, der mittels der Handhabe zwischen einer Öffnungslage und einer Schließlage beweglich ist. In der Öffnungslage wird der Deckel auf den Wulst aufgesetzt, dabei gegebenenfalls unter Schräglage eingeführt, damit die Nase unter den Wulst greifen kann, und es wird anschließend der Schieber in die Schließlage bewegt, so daß auch er bzw. seine Nase den Wulst an der gegenüberliegenden Seite untergreift. Die Führung des Schiebers kann an der Unterseite des Deckels durch am Deckel angeformte Führungselemente erfolgen. In der Schließlage des Schiebers ist der Deckel mit dem Rumpf verbunden und der Schieber zugleich am Deckel verrastet, so daß auch bei Umkippen des Behälters oder Anheben desselben am Deckel Füllgut nicht austreten kann. Der Deckel läßt sich nur durch bewußte Handgriffe an der den Schieber bewegenden Handhabe und durch Entrasten der Sperre vom Rumpf trennen. In der geöffneten Lage ist der gesamte Behälterquerschnitt freigelegt, so daß das Füllgut nicht nur durch Schütten, sondern auch mittels eines Portioniergefäßes entnommen werden kann.In the embodiment according to the invention, the lid can have the basic shape known from loose slip lids, namely have an edge flange overlapping the container body on the open side with an inwardly drawn-in cover disk. The edge flange is only to be designed so that it overlaps the bead, possibly with a little pretension. In a departure from the known design, the cover in the region of the edge flange has at least two approximately opposite lugs, at least one of which is designed as a slide or is part of one which is operated by means of the handle is movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the lid is placed on the bead, possibly inserted at an incline so that the nose can reach under the bead, and the slide is then moved into the closed position so that he or his nose also pushes the bead on the opposite side Reaches under. The slide can be guided on the underside of the cover by guide elements molded onto the cover. In the closed position of the slide, the lid is connected to the fuselage and the slide is at the same time latched onto the lid, so that even if the container tips over or is lifted, contents cannot escape on the lid. The lid can only be separated from the fuselage by consciously manipulating the handle that moves the slide and by unlocking the lock. In the open position, the entire cross-section of the container is exposed, so that the contents can be removed not only by pouring, but also by means of a portioning vessel.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß zumindest die dem Schieber gegenüberliegende, mit dem Deckel fest verbundene Nase als den Wulst am Rumpf untergreifenden Federrastnase ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform braucht der Dekkel bei zurückgezogenem Schieber nur auf den Wulst des Rumpfes aufgedrückt zu werden, wobei die Nase selbsttätig einrastet.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least the nose opposite the slide, which is firmly connected to the cover, is designed as a spring latching nose engaging under the bead on the fuselage. In this embodiment, the cover only needs to be pressed onto the bulge of the fuselage when the slider is retracted, the nose engaging automatically.

Vorzugsweise ist auch die Nase des Schiebers als Federrastnase ausgebildet, so daß der Deckel unabhängig von der Stellung des Schiebers, insbesonder aber auch bei geschlossenem Schieber nur auf den Rumpf aufgedrückt werden muß. Dies hat insbesondere für den Abfüllbetrieb den Vorteil, daß der in oder hinter der Füllstation zugeführte Deckel problemlos, gegebenenfalls maschinell aufgesetzt werden kann.Preferably, the nose of the slide is designed as a spring catch so that the cover only has to be pressed onto the fuselage regardless of the position of the slide, but in particular even when the slide is closed. This is especially true for the bottling plant the advantage that the lid supplied in or behind the filling station can be placed easily, if necessary by machine.

In weiterhin vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Federrastnasen nur beim Aufsetzen des Deckels ausfedern und unter am Deckel wirkenden Zugkräften hinter dem Wulst verrasten, so daß der Behälter am Deckel angehoben werden kann, ohne daß dieser sich löst.In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the spring catches only spring out when the cover is put on and engage behind the bead under tensile forces acting on the cover, so that the container can be lifted on the cover without the latter becoming detached.

In besonders vorteilhafter Ausbildung ist vorgesehen, daß die Sperre wenigstens zwei mit Abstand voneinander, jedoch im Griffbereich der Finger einer Hand angeordnete Rasten aufweist, die in der Schließlage des Schiebers wirksam sind und zum Öffnen desselben nur mit wenigstens zwei Fingern gleichzeitig auslösbar sind.In a particularly advantageous embodiment it is provided that the lock has at least two detents arranged at a distance from one another, but in the grip area of the fingers of one hand, which are effective in the closed position of the slide and can only be released with at least two fingers for opening the same.

Bei dieser Ausbildung ist der Schieber durch wenigstens zwei Rasten in der Schließlage gehalten. Diese beiden Rasten müssen gleichzeitig betätigt werden, um den Schieber bewegen, insbesondere in die Öffnungsstellung führen zu können. Die Rasten sind so ausgebildet und angeordnet, daß zumindest zwei Finger notwendig sind, um die Rasten auszulösen und den Schieber bewegen zu können. Die Bewegung des Schiebers selbst kann dann nicht mit der gleichen Hand ausgeführt werden, sondern es muß der Benutzer auch die zweite Hand zu Hilfe nehmen. Diese Überlegungsvorgänge können von einem Kleinkind nicht ohne weiteres nachvollzogen werden. Die Sicherung kann noch dadurch verbessert werden, daß die Rasten in einem solchen Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind, daß die für das gleichzeitige Aufsetzen von zwei Fingern zu überbrückende Spannweite größer ist als die mögliche Spannweite von zwei Fingern einer Kinderhand. In diesem Fall hat ein Kleinkind aufgrund der notwendigen Zwei-Hand-Betätigung keine Möglichkeit, den Schieber zu öffnen. Die Rasten können auf beliebige Weise in Schließlage gehalten und aus dieser in die entriegelte Lage gebracht werden, z.B. durch Ziehen, Drücken, Drehen oder dergleichen.In this embodiment, the slide is held in the closed position by at least two notches. These two catches must be pressed simultaneously in order to be able to move the slide, in particular to lead it into the open position. The catches are designed and arranged in such a way that at least two fingers are necessary to release the catches and to be able to move the slide. The movement of the slide itself can then not be carried out with the same hand, but the user must also use the second hand. A toddler cannot easily understand these considerations. The securing can be further improved in that the catches are arranged at such a distance from one another that the span to be bridged for the simultaneous attachment of two fingers is greater than the possible span of two fingers of a child's hand. In this case, a toddler has no option to open the slide due to the two-handed operation required. The rest can held in any position in the closed position and brought into the unlocked position, for example by pulling, pressing, turning or the like.

Die beiden Rasten können auf einer zur Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers senkrechten Linie nebeneinander oder in Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers hintereinander versetzt oder fluchtend angeordnet sein. Die Art der Anordnung richtet sich in erster Linie nach der Behälterform- und -größe und den für die Entnahmeöffnung und deren Anordnung zu beachtenden Gesichtspunkten.The two catches can be offset next to one another on a line perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slider or one behind the other or in alignment in the direction of movement of the slider. The type of arrangement depends primarily on the shape and size of the container and the aspects to be observed for the removal opening and its arrangement.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung bilden die Rasten zugleich eine gegen unzeitiges Öffnen, beispielsweise durch versehentliches Einwirken auf den Schieber, durch Anstoßen, Umkippen oder dergleichen, wirksame Sicherung.In the embodiment according to the invention, the catches at the same time form an effective protection against untimely opening, for example by inadvertent action on the slide, by bumping, tipping over or the like.

In einer anderen, grundsätzlich jedoch gleichwirkenden Ausführungsform gibt es wenigstens zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordnete, mit den Fingern auslösbare Rasten, von denen eine in der Schließlage des Schiebers wirksam und die andere so angeordnet ist, daß sie in einer Zwischenlage des Schiebers bei noch geschlossener Entnahmeöffnung verrastet und in der Zwischenlage mit den Fingern auslösbar ist.In another, but basically equivalent embodiment, there are at least two spaced-apart, finger-releasable catches, one of which is effective in the closed position of the slide and the other is arranged such that it is in an intermediate position of the slide with the removal opening still closed locked and can be triggered with the fingers in the intermediate layer.

Bei der vorgenannten Lösung sind gleichfalls zwei Finger einer Hand notwendig, um die Rasten auszulösen und es ist ferner die andere Hand notwendig, um den Schieber zu bewegen. Hierbei ist jedoch eine weitere bewußte Handlung notwendig, indem nicht beide Rasten gleichzeitig durch ein einziges Ansetzen der Finger ausgelöst werden können, sondern entweder in der Zwischenlage eine nochmalige Betätigung oder aber eine bis zum Erreichen der Zwischenlage andauernde Betätigung notwendig ist.In the aforementioned solution, two fingers of one hand are also required to release the catches and the other hand is also necessary to move the slide. Here, however, a further deliberate action is necessary in that not both latches can be triggered simultaneously by a single application of the fingers, but either a repeated actuation in the intermediate layer or an actuation that lasts until the intermediate layer is reached is necessary.

Dieses Lösungsprinzip läßt sich konstruktiv beispielsweise dadurch verwirklichen, daß die beiden Rasten in Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers nacheinander wirksam sind.This solution principle can be implemented constructively, for example, by the two catches being effective one after the other in the direction of movement of the slide.

Bei dieser Ausführung ist in der Schließlage nur eine Verrastung wirksam, die zum Öffnen zunächst zu lösen ist. Erreicht der Schieber die Zwischenlage, bei der die Entnahmeöffnung noch nicht freigegeben ist, wird die zweite Verrastung wirksam, die auch wieder erst gelöst werden muß, um den Schieber in die Öffnungsstellung bringen zu können.In this version, only one catch is effective in the closed position, which must first be released for opening. If the slide reaches the intermediate position at which the removal opening has not yet been released, the second latching takes effect, which must also be released again in order to be able to bring the slide into the open position.

Statt dessen kann vorgesehen sein, daß die beiden Rasten so angeordnet und ausgebildet sind, daß die eine Raste nur in der Schließlage, die andere in Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers zwischen der Schließlage und der Zwischenlage wirksam ist.Instead, it can be provided that the two catches are arranged and designed so that one catch is only effective in the closed position, the other in the direction of movement of the slide between the closed position and the intermediate position.

Bei der vorgenannten Ausführungsform sind beide Rasten in der Schließlage wirksam. Werden sie mit zwei Fingern gleichzeitig und nur kurzfristig betätigt, wird zwar die eine Verrastung ausgelöst, die andere jedoch bleibt wirksam und muß entweder bis zum Erreichen der Zwischenlage andauernd betätigt oder aber in der Zwischenlage erneut betätigt werden.In the aforementioned embodiment, both detents are effective in the closed position. If they are pressed simultaneously with two fingers and only for a short time, one of the catches is triggered, but the other remains effective and must either be pressed continuously until the intermediate layer is reached or must be pressed again in the intermediate layer.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführung sieht vor, daß die Rasten aus am Schieber oder am Deckel angeordneten Öffnungen und etwa umrißgleichen, in die Öffnungen federnd nachgiebig einrastenden als Betätigungsorgane dienenden Nocken gebildet sind.A preferred embodiment provides that the catches are formed from openings arranged on the slide or on the cover and approximately of the same shape and serving as actuators for resiliently locking cams.

Diese Ausführungsform läßt sich konstruktiv beispielsweise dadurch verwirklichen, daß die Betätigungsorgane an federnd nachgiebigen Zungen angeordnet sind.This embodiment can be realized constructively, for example, in that the actuators are arranged on resilient tongues.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Kindersicherung kann auf die übliche Arretierung des Schiebers in der Schließlage verzichtet werden, da diese Aufgabe von wenigstens einer der Rasten übernommen werden kann.When the child lock is designed according to the invention, the usual locking of the slide in the closed position can be dispensed with, since this task can be performed by at least one of the catches.

Bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen zweiten Lösungsgedanken kann die Ausbildung so getroffen sein, daß in der Schließlage des Schiebers ein Betätigungsorgan in eine Öffnung am Schieber eingreift, während das zweite Betätigungsorgan und die zweite Öffnung außer Eingriff sind und erst in der Zwischenlage einrastet.In the case of the second solution concept described above, the design can be such that in the closed position of the slide an actuating member engages in an opening on the slider, while the second actuating member and the second opening are disengaged and only engage in the intermediate position.

Bei dieser Ausführung ist also zunächst der eine Vorsprung in die Öffnung hineinzudrücken, so daß der Schieber bis in die Zwischenlage bewegt werden kann. In dieser rastet der zweite Vorsprung in die zweite Öffnung ein und muß durch einen weiteren Fingerdruck betätigt werden, um den Schieber schließlich in die Öffnungsstellung zu bringen.In this embodiment, one of the projections must first be pressed into the opening so that the slide can be moved into the intermediate layer. In this the second projection engages in the second opening and must be actuated by a further finger pressure in order to finally bring the slide into the open position.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die eine Öffnung umrißgleich mit dem Betätigungsorgan, die andere als sich in Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers zwischen der Schließlage und der Zwischenlage erstrekkendes Langloch ausgebildet ist.In another embodiment it is provided that one opening is of the same shape as the actuating member, the other is an elongated hole extending in the direction of movement of the slide between the closed position and the intermediate position.

Bei der vorgenannten Ausführung verbleibt der eine Vorsprung innerhalb des Langlochs so lange, bis der aus der Schließlage herausbewegte Schieber die Zwischenlage erreicht hat. Zum Öffnen ist es also notwendig, entweder beide Betätigungsorgane gleichzeitig zu drücken und den Druck auf das im Langloch geführte Betätigungsorgan bis zur Zwischenlage andauern zu lassen oder aber das Betätigungsorgan erneut zu betätigen, so daß der Schieber erst dann in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden kann.In the aforementioned embodiment, the one projection remains within the elongated hole until the slide moved out of the closed position has reached the intermediate position. To open it is therefore necessary to either press both actuators at the same time and to allow the pressure on the actuating member guided in the elongated hole to last until the intermediate position, or to actuate the actuating member again so that the slide can only then be moved into the open position.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß die Sperre von wenigstens einem am Deckel federnd angeordneten Nocken und einer mit diesem zusammenwirkende Sperrfläche am Schieber gebildet ist, und daß der Nokken zugleich das Betätigungsorgan für die Sperre bildet.A further embodiment consists in that the lock is formed by at least one cam which is resiliently arranged on the cover and a locking surface on the slide cooperating with it, and in that the cam also forms the actuating element for the lock.

Bei dieser Ausführung kann die Sperrfläche am Schieber wiederum eine Öffnung sein, in die der Nocken einrastet, oder aber auch eine einfache Anschlagfläche, beispielsweise an dem dem Wulst abgekehrten Ende des Schiebers, hinter den der Nocken in der Schließlage einrastet. Der Nocken bzw. dessen Betätigungsorgan kann je nach Richtung der Federwirkung durch eine Zug- oder Druckbewegung in eine die Sperre freigebende Lage gebracht werden.In this embodiment, the blocking surface on the slide can in turn be an opening into which the cam engages, or else a simple stop surface, for example on the end of the slide facing away from the bead, behind which the cam engages in the closed position. Depending on the direction of the spring action, the cam or its actuating member can be brought into a position releasing the lock by a pulling or pushing movement.

Bei dieser, wie auch bei allen nachfolgend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen kann die Federwirkung aus der Elastizität des Materials des Deckels bzw. Schiebers bzw. durch entsprechende Formgebung derselben gewonnen werden.In this, as in all of the embodiments described below, the spring action can be obtained from the elasticity of the material of the cover or slide or by appropriate shaping thereof.

Eine andere Lösung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Sperre von wenigstens einer an der Unterseite des Dekkels angeordneten Zahnleiste und einer am Schieber federnd angeordneten, korrespondierenden Zahnleiste gebildet ist, wobei letztere mittels eines Betätigungsorgans entgegen der Federwirkung außer Eingriff bringbar ist.Another solution is characterized in that the lock is formed by at least one toothed bar arranged on the underside of the cover and a corresponding toothed bar arranged on the slide, the latter being able to be disengaged against the spring action by means of an actuating member.

Die Zahnleisten können ein unsymmetrisches Zahnprofil aufweisen, beispielsweise sägezahnartig ausgebildet sein, um beispielsweise für das Schließen des Schiebers eine Betätigung der Sperre nicht notwendig zu machen. Die Zähne gleiten in diesem Falle übereinander weg, erfüllen jedoch bei umgekehrter Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers ihre Sperrfunktion.The toothed strips can have an asymmetrical tooth profile, for example be designed like a saw tooth, so that, for example, actuation of the lock is not necessary for closing the slide. In this case, the teeth slide away from one another, but fulfill their locking function when the slide is in the opposite direction.

Eine Ausgestaltung dieser Ausführungsform zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Zahnleiste am Deckel in einer zur Deckelfläche parallelen Ebene liegt und daß das Betätigungsorgan für die andere Zahnleiste am Schieber zugleich dessen Handhabe bildet.An embodiment of this embodiment is characterized in that the toothed strip on the cover lies in a plane parallel to the cover surface and that the actuating member for the other toothed strip on the slide also forms its handle.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform fallen also das Betätigungsorgan für die Sperre und die Handhabe für den Schieber zusammen. Zum Öffnen des Schiebers muß das Betätigungsorgan zunächst nach unten gedrückt werden, um die Zahnleisten außer Eingriff zu bringen. Anschließend muß dann auf das Betätigungsorgan eine Schiebebewegung wirksam werden, um den Schieber aus der Schließlage zu bewegen und den Deckel abheben zu können.In this embodiment, the actuator for the lock and the handle for the slide coincide. To open the slide, the actuator must first be pressed down to disengage the toothed strips. Then a sliding movement must then be effective on the actuator to move the slide from the closed position and to be able to lift the lid.

Statt dessen kann die Sperre auch so ausgebildet sein, daß die Zahnleiste am Deckel in einer zur Deckelfläche senkrechten Ebene liegt. Die Zahnleisten sind dabei mit Vorteil so angeordnet, daß die Betätigungsbewegung zum Lösen der Sperre und zum Bewegen des Schiebers senkrecht zueinander stehen, so daß in jedem Fall eine Zwei-Hand-Bedienung notwendig ist.Instead, the lock can also be designed such that the toothed strip on the cover lies in a plane perpendicular to the cover surface. The toothed strips are advantageously arranged so that the actuating movement for releasing the lock and for moving the slide are perpendicular to one another, so that two-hand operation is necessary in any case.

Schließlich kann diese Ausführungsform dahingehend abgewandelt werden, daß zwei Zahnleisten mit Abstand voneinander und mit der Verzahnung einander zugekehrt vorgesehen sind und, daß am Schieber zwei Zahnleisten mit voneinander abgekehrten Verzahnungen vorgesehen sind, die unter der Federwirkung nach außen in die Zahnleisten am Deckel gedrängt werden und mittels zwei mit einer Hand gegeneinander zu drückender Betätigungsorgane außer Eingriff kommen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform werden die Betätigungsorgane der beiden Zahnleisten beispielsweise mit den Fingern einer Hand in Richtung zueinander gedrückt und mit der anderen Hand die Handhabe des Schiebers betätigt.Finally, this embodiment can be modified such that two toothed strips are provided at a distance from one another and with the teeth facing each other and that two toothed strips with one another on the slide turned toothings are provided, which are forced outwards under the spring action into the toothed strips on the cover and come out of engagement by means of two actuating members to be pressed against one another with one hand. In this embodiment, the actuating members of the two toothed strips are pressed toward one another, for example, with the fingers of one hand and the handle of the slide is actuated with the other hand.

In weiterhin bevorzugter Ausführung ist vorgesehen, daß der Schieber mittels einer Feder in der Schließlage gehalten ist, die als federnde Knickstütze mit Totpunktlage, in der der Schieber in der Schließlage gehalten ist, ausgebildet ist, und daß die Knickstütze zugleich als Sperre dient, indem der Knickscheitel der Knickstütze das Betätigungsorgan der Sperre bildet und durch Druck über die Totpunktlage in eine instabile Lage bringbar ist, in der der Schieber mittels der Handhabe bewegbar ist.In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the slide is held by a spring in the closed position, which is designed as a resilient kink support with dead center position, in which the slide is held in the closed position, and that the kink support also serves as a lock by the The crest of the kink support forms the actuating element of the lock and can be brought into an unstable position by pressure via the dead center position, in which the slide can be moved by means of the handle.

Eine solche Knickstütze gibt die Möglichkeit, den Schieber unmittelbar mit dem Deckel einstückig zu spritzen, beispielsweise über sogenannte Filmscharniere. Die Knickstütze weist in ihrer einen Knicklage, in der sich der Schieber in der Schließlage befindet, eine stabile Position auf. Der Schieber kann folglich nur unter Überwindung der Totpunktlage in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden. Durch Druck auf den Knickscheitel kann die Knickstütze über die Totpunktlage in die andere Knicklage gebracht werden, in der sie aufgrund der gelenkigen Filmscharniere instabil ist, so daß der Schieber in die Öffnungslage verbracht werden kann.Such an anti-kink support gives the possibility of injecting the slide directly in one piece with the cover, for example via so-called film hinges. The kink support has a stable position in its one kink position, in which the slide is in the closed position. The slide can therefore only be moved into the open position while overcoming the dead center position. By pressing on the top of the kink, the kink support can be brought over the dead center position into the other kink position, in which it is unstable due to the articulated film hinges, so that the slide can be moved into the open position.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können zwei Schieber mit je einer Handhabe vorgesehen sein, denen jeweils eine Sperre zugeordnet ist. Auch bei dieser Ausführung müssen beide Sperren gelöst werden, um den Schieber in die Öffnungslage bewegen zu können.In a further embodiment of the invention, two slides can be provided, each with a handle, each of which is assigned a lock. In this version, too, both locks must be released in order to be able to move the slide into the open position.

Behälter der vorgenannten Art, insbesondere Haushaltsgroßpackungen, besitzen im allgemeinen einen Tragegriff, der beispielsweise am Rumpf des Behälters oder am Deckel schwenkbar gelagert ist.Containers of the aforementioned type, in particular large household packs, generally have a handle which is pivotally mounted, for example, on the body of the container or on the lid.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Tragegriff zugleich ein Teil der Sperre für den Schieber bildet und die Sperre mittels der Schwenkbewegung des Tragegriffs lösbar ist.It is preferably provided that the handle also forms part of the lock for the slide and the lock can be released by means of the pivoting movement of the handle.

Bei dieser Ausbildung wird also der Tragegriff einem weiteren Zweck zugeführt, indem er zugleich als Teil der Kindersicherung dient.With this design, the handle is therefore used for a further purpose by simultaneously serving as part of the child safety device.

Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch verwirklicht werden, daß die Sperre einen am Deckel oder am Schieber federnd angeordneten Nocken aufweist, der in eine am Deckel angeordnete, nach oben offene Aufnahme eingreift, und daß der Tragegriff durch Verschwenken mit einem Abschnitt in die Aufnahme unter Verdrängen des Nockens einlegbar ist. Auch hierdurch ist eine äußerst wirksame Kindersicherung gegeben, indem der erkennbar für andere Zwecke dienende Tragegriff für eine ihm nicht zugedachte und von einem Kleinkind auch nicht vorhersehbare Zweckbestimmung eingesetzt wird.This can be achieved, for example, in that the lock has a cam which is resiliently arranged on the cover or on the slide and which engages in a receptacle which is arranged on the cover and is open at the top, and in that the handle is pivoted with a section into the receptacle, displacing the cam is insertable. This also provides an extremely effective child safety device, in that the handle, which is obviously used for other purposes, is used for a purpose that is not intended for it and is also not foreseeable by a small child.

Die vorgenannte Sicherung ist insbesondere dann besonders wirksam, wenn der Tragegriff, wie an sich üblich, bandförmigen Querschnitt aufweist, und ferner die Aufnahme entsprechend schlitzförmig ausgebildet ist. Dabei kann der die Aufnahme bildende Schlitz so schmal sein und kann ferner der in diesem Fall leistenförmige Nocken versenkt in der Aufnahme angeordnet sein, daß ein Betätigen des Nockens mit der Hand unmöglich ist, er also nur durch den Traggriff oder aber ein entsprechend schmales Hilfswerkzeug aus der Aufnahme verdrängt werden kann.The aforementioned securing is particularly effective when the handle, as usual, has a band-shaped cross section, and also the receptacle is correspondingly slit-shaped. The slot forming the receptacle can be so narrow and, in this case, the ledge-shaped cam can be recessed in the receptacle so that it is impossible to actuate the cam by hand, ie it can only be operated by the carrying handle or a correspondingly narrow auxiliary tool the recording can be suppressed.

Da es sich bei Behältern der vorgenannten Art um Massenverpackungen handelt, müssen sie entsprechend kostengünstig herstellbar sein. Um dies zu erreichen, ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, daß die Sperre über ein Gelenk mit dem Deckel oder dem Schieber verbunden und zusammen mit diesen einstückig gespritzt ist. Ein einstückiges Spritzen dieses relativ komplizierten Gebildes von Dekkel, Schieber und Sperre mit Handhabe, Betätigungsorgan und Führungen läßt sich problemlos mittels eines Spritzgußwerkzeugs bewerkstelligen, bei dem Deckel und Schieber in verschiedenen und in den Gelenken zusammenlaufenden Ebenen gespritzt werden.Since containers of the aforementioned type are bulk packaging, they must be correspondingly inexpensive to manufacture. To achieve this, it is provided, for example, that the lock is connected via a joint to the cover or the slide and is injection-molded together in one piece with them. A one-piece injection molding of this relatively complicated structure of cover, slide and lock with handle, actuating member and guides can be easily achieved by means of an injection molding tool, in which the cover and slide are sprayed in different planes converging in the joints.

In weiterhin vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der Deckel des Behälters zusammen mit dem Schieber ein einheitliches, nachträglich am Behälterrumpf anbringbares Bauteil bildet. Durch die Ausbildung von Deckel und Schieber als einheitliches Bauteil läßt sich dieses Bauteil als ganzes nachträglich an der offenen Stirnseite eines Behälters anbringen, z. B. Anbördeln, Einkleben oder Einsiegeln.In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the lid of the container forms, together with the slide, a uniform component that can be retrofitted to the container body. By designing the lid and slide as a single component, this component can be retrofitted as a whole to the open end of a container, for. B. flanging, gluing or sealing.

Bei der vorgenannten Ausführungsform weist der Deckel wenigstens an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten übereinander liegende Führungsflächen auf, zwischen denen der Schieber beweglich ist. Die Führungsflächen sind vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Behälterdeckel.In the aforementioned embodiment, the cover has at least on two opposite sides of guide surfaces lying one above the other, between which the slide is movable. The guide surfaces are preferably in one piece with the container lid.

Beispielsweise kann der Deckel einen mit dem Behälterrumpf verbindbaren Ringflansch und eine den freien Querschnitt des Behälterrumpfs bis auf die Entnahmeöffnung abdeckende Wandung aufweisen, wobei sich der Schieber in der Öffnungslage etwa oberhalb dieser Wandung befindet und diese die Zungen mit den Betätigungsorganen aufweist.For example, the cover can have an annular flange which can be connected to the container body and a wall covering the free cross section of the container body up to the removal opening, the slide being in the open position approximately above this wall and this having the tongues with the actuating members.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform nimmt die Entnahmeöffnung also nur einen Teil des Querschnitts des Behälters ein, dient also in erster Linie zum portionierten Entnehmen des Füllgutes durch Schütten.In this embodiment, the removal opening thus takes up only a part of the cross section of the container, and is therefore primarily used for portioned removal of the filling material by pouring.

Soll hingegen der Behälter über annähernd seinen gesamten Querschnitt zur Entnahme des Füllgutes, beispielsweise mittels eines Portionsgefäßes freigelegt werden können, ist vorgesehen, daß der Deckel im wesentlichen als Ringflansch ausgebildet ist, der zwei umlaufende in den freien Querschnitt des Behälterrrumpfs ragende und die Führungsflächen für den Schieber bildende Führungsleisten aufweist, und daß an einer der unteren Führungsleisten die Zungen mit den Betätigungsorganen und an der darüber liegenden oberen Führungsleiste entsprechende Öffnungen angeordnet sind, die mit den Öffnungen im Schieber in dessen Schließlage fluchten und wie diese von den Betätigungsorganen durchgriffen sind.On the other hand, if the container can be exposed over almost its entire cross-section for the removal of the filling material, for example by means of a portion container, it is provided that the lid is essentially designed as an annular flange, the two circumferential projecting into the free cross-section of the container body and the guide surfaces for the Has slide forming guide strips, and that on one of the lower guide strips, the tongues with the actuators and corresponding openings are arranged on the upper guide bar above, which are aligned with the openings in the slide in its closed position and how these are penetrated by the actuators.

Der Behälter 1 gemäß Figur 1 besteht aus einem Rumpf 2 mit einem beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel rechteckigen Querschnitt, einen den Rumpf 2 an einer Seite verschließenden Boden 3, der nach innen eingezogen ist, einem die gegenüberliegende Öffnung verschließenden Deckel 4 und einem Tragegriff 5, der mittels Nieten 6 am Rumpf 2 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Der Behälter dient beispielsweise als Haushaltsgroßpackung für Wasch-, Spülmittel oder dergleichen.The container 1 according to FIG. 1 consists of a body 2 with a rectangular cross section in the exemplary embodiment shown, a bottom 3 which closes the body 2 on one side and is drawn inwards, a cover 4 which closes the opposite opening and a carrying handle 5 which is by means of Rivets 6 is pivotally mounted on the fuselage 2. The container serves, for example, as a large household pack for detergents, dishwashing detergents or the like.

Der Rumpf 2 weist an der dem Boden 3 gegenüberliegenden Öffnung einen nach innen umgelegten Wulst 7 auf, wie aus Figur 2 und 3 näher ersichtlich. Der Wulst 7 ist umlaufend ausgebildet und bewirkt zunächst eine Versteifung des Rumpfs 2 im Bereich der Öffnung. Zusätzlich dient er zur Anbringung des Deckels 4.The fuselage 2 has an inwardly folded bead 7 at the opening opposite the bottom 3, as can be seen in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. The bead 7 is formed all around and initially stiffens the fuselage 2 in the area of the opening. In addition, it serves to attach the cover 4.

Der Deckel 4 weist einen den Wulst 7 von oben her übergreifenden Randflansch 8 und eine tiefer liegende Deckelscheibe 9 auf, die einstückig ausgebildet sind. Ferner weist der Deckel an etwa gegenüberliegenden Seiten je eine den Wulst 7 untergreifende Nase 10, 11 auf. Die Nase 11 ist dabei lediglich als Schieber 12 ausgeführt, der in Führungen 13 an der Unterseite der Deckelscheibe 9 linear geführt ist und eine durch eine Öffnung in der Deckelscheibe nach oben ragende Handhabe 14 aufweist. Die Führung 13 kann beispielsweise von an der Unterseite der Deckelscheibe 9 angespritzten Federnasen 15 gebildet sein, die in parallele Schlitze des Schiebers 12 eingreifen. Mittels der Handhabe 14 kann der Schieber aus der in Figur 2 gezeigten Schließlage nach links in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden und der Deckel 4 vom Rumpf 2 abgehoben werden. Zum Aufsetzen des Deckels 4 wird dieser in Schräglage zunächst mit der Nase 10 voraus auf den linken Teil des Rumpfs aufgesetzt, so daß die Nase 10 dort den Wulst 7 untergreift. Anschließend wird der Deckel 4 rechts nach unten gekippt und auf den Wulst 7 aufgelegt und schließlich der Schieber 12 wieder in die Schließlage bewegt. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Handhabe 14 in einem Langloch 16 (siehe Figur 4) in der Deckelscheibe 9 geführt.The cover 4 has an edge flange 8 which overlaps the bead 7 from above and a lower-lying cover plate 9 which are formed in one piece. Furthermore, the lid has a nose 10, 11 that engages under the bead 7 on approximately opposite sides. The nose 11 is only designed as a slide 12 which is guided linearly in guides 13 on the underside of the cover plate 9 and has a handle 14 which projects upwards through an opening in the cover plate. The guide 13 can be formed, for example, by spring noses 15 molded onto the underside of the cover plate 9, which engage in parallel slots in the slide 12. By means of the handle 14, the slide can be moved from the closed position shown in FIG. 2 to the left into the open position and the cover 4 can be lifted off the fuselage 2. To put on the cover 4, this is first placed in an inclined position with the nose 10 ahead on the left part of the fuselage, so that the nose 10 engages under the bead 7 there. Then the cover 4 is tilted downwards to the right and placed on the bead 7 and finally the slide 12 is moved back into the closed position. For this purpose, the handle 14 is guided in an elongated hole 16 (see FIG. 4) in the cover plate 9.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 bis 4 ist eine Kindersicherung in Form einer zusätzlichen Sperre 17 für den Schieber 12 verwirklicht. Bei diesem Ausführüngsbeispiel besteht die Sperre aus zwei Rasten, die jeweils aus einem Nocken 18 in Form einer Drucktaste und einer in der Deckelscheibe 9 angeordneten Öffnung 19 gebildet sind, in die der unter Federwirkung stehende Nocken 18 einrastet. Der Nocken 18 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Teil des Schiebers 12, wobei die Federwirkung aus der Werkstoffelastizität des Schiebers 12 gewonnen wird. Der Abstand der Nocken 18 voneinander sowie von der Handhabe 14 des Schiebers 12 kann so gewählt sein, daß sich der Schieber 12 nur mit zwei Händen öffnen läßt, indem beispielsweise mit zwei Fingern einer Hand die Nocken 18 nach unten gedrückt und mit der anderen Hand der Schieber 12 mittels der Handhabe 14 bewegt wird.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, child safety in the form of an additional lock 17 for the slide 12 is implemented. In this exemplary embodiment, the lock consists of two catches, each of which is formed by a cam 18 in the form of a pushbutton and an opening 19 arranged in the cover plate 9, into which the spring-loaded cam 18 engages. In this exemplary embodiment, the cam 18 is part of the slide 12, the spring action being obtained from the material elasticity of the slide 12. The distance the cam 18 from each other and from the handle 14 of the slider 12 can be selected so that the slider 12 can only be opened with two hands, for example by pressing the cams 18 down with two fingers of one hand and the slider 12 with the other hand is moved by means of the handle 14.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 5 sind beide Nasen 10, 11 als Teil eines Schiebers 12 ausgebildet und getrennt voneinander in Führungen 13 am Deckel 4 geführt. Sie sind mittels einer Handhabe 14 in gleicher Weise wie der Schieber 12 gemäß Figuren 1 bis 4 zu betätigen. Jedem Schieber 12 sind zwei Sperren 17 zugeordnet, die jedoch gemeinschaftlich auf beide Schieber wirken. Die Sperren 17 weisen wiederum Nocken 18 auf, die Öffnungen 19 in der Deckelscheibe 9 durchgreifen. Die Nocken 18 sind Teil von Leisten 20, die unter Federwirkung in der Sperrlage gehalten sind und dabei gegen Anschlagflächen 21 an den Schiebern 12 wirken. Durch Druck auf die Nocken 18 kommen die Leisten 20 außer Eingriff mit den Anschlagflächen 21, so daß die Schieber 12 geöffnet werden können. Es sind folglich zunächst die Nocken 18 mit der einen Hand zu drücken und anschließend können die Handhaben 14 mit den gespreizten Fingern einer Hand ergriffen und gegeneinander gezogen werden, um die Schieber 12 in die Öffnungslage zu bewegen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, both lugs 10, 11 are formed as part of a slide 12 and are guided separately from one another in guides 13 on the cover 4. They can be actuated by means of a handle 14 in the same way as the slide 12 according to FIGS. 1 to 4. Each slide 12 is assigned two locks 17, which, however, act collectively on both slides. The locks 17 in turn have cams 18 which pass through openings 19 in the cover plate 9. The cams 18 are part of strips 20 which are held under spring action in the locked position and act against stop surfaces 21 on the slides 12. By pressing the cams 18, the strips 20 disengage from the stop surfaces 21 so that the slides 12 can be opened. Consequently, the cams 18 must first be pressed with one hand and then the handles 14 can be grasped with the spread fingers of one hand and pulled against one another in order to move the slides 12 into the open position.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 6 ist wiederum nur ein Schieber 12 vorgesehen, dem zwei Sperren 17 zugeordnet sind. Die Sperren 17 bestehen aus einer an der Deckelunterseite oder aber in Öffnungen des Deckels 4 angeordneten Zahnleisten 22, die mit ihrer Verzahnung einander zugekehrt sind und im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Deckelebene stehen. Am Schieber 12 sind hiermit korrespondierende Zahnleisten über federnde Arme 23 angeordnet, die jeweils ein Betätigungsorgan 18 aufweisen, das die Deckelscheibe 9 nach oben durchgreift. Die Federwirkung der Arme 23 ist so ausgelegt, daß die an ihnen angeformten Zahnleisten in Eingriff mit den Zahnleisten 22 am Deckel 4 gehalten werden. Durch Zusammenziehen der beiden Handhaben 18 in Richtung zur Behältermitte können die Zahnleisten außer Eingriff und der Schieber 12 mittels der Handhabe 14 geöffnet werden. Die Verzahnung ist dabei vorzugsweise so ausgelegt, daß sie das Schließen des Schiebers 12 nicht behindert, hingegen ein Öffnen ohne Druck auf die Betätigungsorgane 18 ausschließt.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, in turn only one slide 12 is provided, to which two locks 17 are assigned. The locks 17 consist of a toothed strip 22 which is arranged on the underside of the cover or in openings in the cover 4, the toothing of which is facing one another and is essentially perpendicular to the cover plane. Corresponding toothed strips are hereby arranged on the slide 12 via resilient arms 23, each of which has an actuating member 18 which extends through the cover plate 9 upwards. The spring action of the arms 23 is designed such that the toothed racks formed on them engage the toothed racks 22 on Lid 4 are held. By pulling the two handles 18 towards the center of the container, the toothed strips can be disengaged and the slide 12 can be opened by means of the handle 14. The toothing is preferably designed so that it does not hinder the closing of the slide 12, but excludes an opening without pressure on the actuators 18.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 7 und 8 sind dem Schieber 12 wiederum zwei Sperren 17 zugeordnet, die wiederum als Zahnleisten 24 ausgebildet sind. In diesem Fall sind die Zahnleisten 24 jedoch in einer zur Deckelscheibe 9 parallelen Ebene an der Unterseite des Deckels 4 angeordnet. Am Schieber 12 sind wiederum über federnde Arme 25 Zahnleisten 26 angeformt, die unter Wirkung der Federkraft mit den Zahnleisten 24 am Deckel 4 in Eingriff stehen. Am Ende der Zahnleisten 26 ist je eine Handhabe 27 angeordnet, die durch Öffnungen 28 in der Deckelscheibe 9 nach oben greifen. Die Handhaben 27 bilden zugleich die Betätigungsorgane für die Sperren 17. Durch Druck auf die Handhaben 27 wird zunächst die Sperre gelöst und durch Schub anschließend der Schieber 12 in die Öffnungslage gebracht.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8, the slide 12 is again assigned two locks 17, which in turn are designed as toothed strips 24. In this case, however, the toothed strips 24 are arranged in a plane parallel to the cover plate 9 on the underside of the cover 4. Toothed slats 25 are in turn formed by resilient arms 25 toothed strips 26, which engage with the toothed strips 24 on cover 4 under the action of the spring force. At the end of the toothed strips 26 a handle 27 is arranged, which reach up through openings 28 in the cover plate 9. The handles 27 also form the actuators for the locks 17. By pressing the handles 27, the lock is first released and then the slide 12 is brought into the open position by thrust.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 9 sind zwei parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Schieber 29 vorgesehen, deren Handhabe 30 wiederum Öffnungen 31 in der Deckelscheibe 9 durchgreift. Ferner ist an jedem Schieber eine Sperre 17 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise aus einem in der Deckelscheibe 9 ausgebildeten Schlitz 31 und eine hierin eingreifende Leiste 32 an den Schiebern gebildet ist. Auch hier ist eine kombinierte Druck- und Schubbewegung notwendig, um die Schieber in die Öffnungslage zu bringen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 10 sitzt der Schieber 12 wiederum in Führungen 13 und eine an ihm angeformte Handhabe 14 durchgreift ein Langloch 16 in der Deckelscheibe 9. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Sperre 17 von einem zugleich das Betätigungsorgan aufweisenden Nocken 33 gebildet, der mit einer Sperrfläche 34 an der der Schließkante des Schiebers gegenüberliegenden Seite zusammenwirkt. Der Nocken 33 ist an der Deckelscheibe 9 angeformt, und zwar an einem nach unten durchgewölbten und in dieser Richtung unter Vorspannung stehenden Abschnitt 35, der den Nocken 33 in die Sperrlage drängt. Durch Zug am Nocken 33 kommt die Sperrfläche 34 des Schiebers 12 frei und der Schieber kann mittels der Handhabe 14 in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 9, two sliders 29 arranged parallel to one another are provided, the handle 30 of which in turn engages through openings 31 in the cover plate 9. Furthermore, a lock 17 is provided on each slide, which is formed, for example, from a slot 31 formed in the cover plate 9 and a strip 32 engaging therein on the slide. Here, too, a combined push and push movement is necessary to bring the slide into the open position. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 10, the slide 12 is again seated in guides 13 and a handle 14 formed on it extends through an elongated hole 16 in the cover plate 9. In this exemplary embodiment, the lock 17 is of a type which also has the actuating member Cam 33 formed, which cooperates with a locking surface 34 on the side opposite the closing edge of the slide. The cam 33 is integrally formed on the cover plate 9, specifically on a section 35 which is curved downward and is prestressed in this direction and which urges the cam 33 into the locked position. By pulling the cam 33, the locking surface 34 of the slide 12 is released and the slide can be moved into the open position by means of the handle 14.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 12 ist der Schieber 12 über eine Knickstütze 36 am Deckel 4 angespritzt. Der Schieber 12 weist ferner die Handhabe 14 auf, die wiederum in ein Langloch 16 an der Deckelscheibe 9 eingreift, in diesem Fall jedoch zusätzlich, beispielsweise in Längsschlitzen, an der Deckelscheibe 9 geführt ist. Die Knickstütze 36 mit den Schenkeln 37, 38, die im Knickscheitel 39 ineinander übergehen, weist eine stabile Lage auf, die in Figur 12 durchgezogen wiedergegeben ist. In dieser stabilen Lage kann der in der Schließlage befindliche Schieber 12 mittels der Handhabe 14 nicht verschoben werden. Durch Druck auf den Knickscheitel, wie mit Richtungspfeil 40 angedeutet, kann die Knickstütze 36 nach unten ausgeknickt werden (strichpunktiert angegeben). In dieser Lage können die beiden Schenkel 37, 38 zueinander geklappt werden, so daß sich der Schieber 12 in die Öffnungslage führen läßt und der Deckel 4 abgenommen werden kann. Wird bei aufgesetztem Deckel 4 der Schieber 12 in die Schließlage bewegt, so schnappt die Knickstütze 36 automatisch in die stabile Lage gemäß Figur 12 um.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 12, the slide 12 is injection molded onto the cover 4 via an articulated support 36. The slide 12 also has the handle 14, which in turn engages in an elongated hole 16 on the cover plate 9, but in this case is additionally guided, for example in longitudinal slots, on the cover plate 9. The kink support 36 with the legs 37, 38 which merge into one another in the kink apex 39 has a stable position, which is shown in solid lines in FIG. In this stable position, the slide 12 in the closed position cannot be moved by means of the handle 14. By pressing on the top of the kink, as indicated by direction arrow 40, the kink support 36 can be bent downward (indicated by dash-dotted lines). In this position, the two legs 37, 38 can be folded towards one another, so that the slide 12 can be guided into the open position and the cover 4 can be removed. If the slide 12 is moved into the closed position when the cover 4 is in place, the kink support 36 automatically snaps into the stable position according to FIG.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 13 und 14 weist einen Tragegriff 5 auf, der jedoch in Abwandlung zu der Darstellung in Figur 1 nicht am Rumpf 4 des Behälters, sondern am Deckel 4 in Lagern 41 angelenkt ist. Die Lager 41 befinden sich an den einander zugekehrten Innenseiten des Randflanschs 8 des Deckels 4. Der Tragegriff ist so ausgebildet, daß er, wie aus Figur 13 und 14 erkennbar, beim Anklappen an den Deckel innerhalb des Randflanschs 8 liegt. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel dient der bandförmige Tragegriff 5 zugleich als Hilfsmittel zum Öffnen der Sperre des Schiebers. Der Schieber 12 ist wiederum in Führungen 13 an der Unterseite des Deckels geführt und mit einer ihm nach oben durchgreifenden Handhabe 14 versehen. Die Sperre 17 ist in diesem Fall von einem leistenförmigen Nocken 42 am Schieber 12 und einer schlitzförmigen Aufnahme 43 gebildet, in die der Nocken 42 in der Schließlage eingreift. Die schlitzförmige Aufnahme 43 kann so ausgebildet sein, daß der Nocken 42 diese nach oben nicht überragt. Durch Umlegen des Tragegriffs 5 aus der in Figur 13 gezeigten Position in die strichpunktierte Position kann der Tragegriff mit seinem oberen bandförmigen Abschnitt 44 in die Aufnahme 43 eingelegt und durch Druck am Tragegriff der Nocken 42 nach unten aus der Aufnahme 43 verdrängt werden, so daß der Schieber in die strichpunktierte Lage gelangt und mittels der Handhabe 14 in die Öffnunglage bewegt werden kann.The exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 13 and 14 has a handle 5, which, however, in a modification to the illustration in FIG. 1, is not articulated on the body 4 of the container, but on the lid 4 in bearings 41. The bearings 41 are located on the mutually facing inner sides of the edge flange 8 of the lid 4. The handle is designed so that it, as from 13 and 14 can be seen, when folding onto the cover lies within the edge flange 8. In the embodiment shown, the band-shaped handle 5 also serves as an aid for opening the lock of the slide. The slider 12 is in turn guided in guides 13 on the underside of the cover and provided with a handle 14 extending through it upwards. The lock 17 is formed in this case by a strip-shaped cam 42 on the slide 12 and a slot-shaped receptacle 43, in which the cam 42 engages in the closed position. The slot-shaped receptacle 43 can be designed so that the cam 42 does not protrude above it. By moving the handle 5 from the position shown in Figure 13 to the dash-dotted position, the handle with its upper band-shaped portion 44 can be inserted into the receptacle 43 and pushed down by the pressure on the handle of the cams 42 from the receptacle 43, so that the Slide reaches the dot-dash position and can be moved into the open position by means of the handle 14.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 15 ist der Schieber 12 als Drehschieber 45 ausgebildet, der an einer am Deckel 4 angeordneten Achse 46 gelagert ist. Der Drehschieber 45 ist beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel kreisförmig ausgebildet und bildet mit der teilkreisförmigen Fläche 47 die Schließkante bzw. Schließfläche, während durch Verdrehen die durch eine Kreissekante gebildete Kante 48 in Parallellage zum Wulst 7 gebracht wird, in der sich der Deckel abheben läßt. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Deckel eine teilkreisförmige Öffnung 49 auf, in die eine am Drehschieber 45 angeordnete Handhabe eingreift. Eine Sicherung gegen Verdrehen kann, wie in Figur 15 angedeutet, durch eine zusätzliche Verzahnung des Drehschiebers mit der Unterseite des Deckels erhalten werden, so daß ein Öffnen nur durch Druck und Schub auf die Handhabe 14 möglich ist. Es lassen sich natürlich auch andere Arten der Kindersicherung, wie sie zuvor beschrieben worden sind, in Verbindung mit dem Drehschieber 45 einsetzen.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 15, the slide 12 is designed as a rotary slide 45 which is mounted on an axis 46 arranged on the cover 4. The rotary valve 45 is circular in the embodiment shown and forms the closing edge or closing surface with the partially circular surface 47, while by turning the edge 48 formed by a circular edge is brought in parallel to the bead 7, in which the lid can be lifted off. For this purpose, the cover has a part-circular opening 49 into which a handle arranged on the rotary slide 45 engages. Protection against rotation, as indicated in FIG. 15, can be obtained by an additional toothing of the rotary valve with the underside of the cover, so that opening is only possible by pushing and pushing on the handle 14. Of course, other types of Use the childproof lock as described above in connection with the rotary valve 45.

Während bei allen vorgenannten Ausführungsformen die Nasen 10, 11 so ausgebildet sind, daß der Deckel 4 nur bei geöffnetem Schieber 12 aufgesetzt werden kann und dabei die Nase 10 unter Schrägstellung des Deckels unter den Wulst 7 geführt werden muß, sind bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß Figuren 16 bis 20 die am Deckel 4 angeordnete Nase 10 und die am Schieber vorgesehene Nase 11 als Federrastnasen 50, 51 ausgebildet. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 16 ist die Federrastnase 50 am Deckel 4 angeformt und als ein sich nach unten erstreckendes Federbein mit einem Knick 520 ausgebildet, mit dem die Federrastnase den Wulst 7 untergreift. Die Federrastnase 51, die in gleicher Weise ausgebildet ist, ist am Schieber 12 angeformt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ferner die Deckelscheibe 52 gegenüber dem Randflansch 8 nach oben gezogen. Der Übergang zwischen Randflansch 8 und Deckelscheibe 52 bildet eine Stapelhilfe beim Aufeinandersetzen der verschlossenen Behälter. In diesem Fall weist die Deckelscheibe 52 einen Schlitz 53 auf, unterhalb dessen der Schieber 12, beispielsweise an einer Rippe 54 geführt ist. Durch den Schlitz 53 ist die Handhabe 14 des Schiebers 12 zugänglich. Schließlich ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, daß der nach innen gerollte Wulst 7 des Rumpfs 2 nur an den Stellen, wo er von den Nasen 10, 11 untergriffen ist, mit einem Kleber, Hotmelt oder dergleichen an der Innenseite des Rumpfs 2 befestigt ist.While in all of the above-mentioned embodiments the lugs 10, 11 are designed in such a way that the cover 4 can only be put on when the slide 12 is open and the lug 10 must be guided under the bead 7 with the cover being inclined, in the embodiments according to FIGS to 20, the nose 10 arranged on the cover 4 and the nose 11 provided on the slide are designed as spring locking noses 50, 51. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 16, the spring latch 50 is formed on the cover 4 and is designed as a downwardly extending spring strut with a bend 520, with which the spring latch engages under the bead 7. The spring catch 51, which is designed in the same way, is formed on the slide 12. In this embodiment, the cover plate 52 is also pulled upwards relative to the edge flange 8. The transition between the edge flange 8 and the cover plate 52 forms a stacking aid when the sealed containers are placed one on top of the other. In this case, the cover plate 52 has a slot 53, below which the slide 12 is guided, for example on a rib 54. The handle 14 of the slide 12 is accessible through the slot 53. Finally, it is shown in this exemplary embodiment that the inwardly rolled bead 7 of the fuselage 2 is only fastened to the inside of the fuselage 2 with an adhesive, hot melt or the like at the points where it is under the noses 10, 11.

Die vorgenannte Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß der Deckel 4 - unabhängig von der Stellung des Schiebers 12 - nach Aufsetzen auf den Wulst 7 lediglich durch Druck am Rumpf festgelegt wird, wobei die Federrastnasen 50, 51 nach innen ausfedern und dann mit ihrer Knickscheitel 52 unter dem Wulst 7 einrasten.The aforementioned embodiment has the advantage that the cover 4 - regardless of the position of the slide 12 - after attachment to the bead 7 is fixed only by pressure on the fuselage, the spring detents 50, 51 springing inwards and then with their kinked apex 52 underneath engage the bead 7.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 17 ist - bei ähnlicher Deckelgestaltung wie in Figur 16 - die am Schieber 12 angeformte Federrastnase 51 zugleich mit dem Deckel 4 verbunden. Sie weist wiederum einen den Wulst 7 untergreifenden Knickscheitel 52 auf. In diesem Fall bildet die Federrastnase 51 zugleich eine den Schieber 12 in die Schließlage drängende Feder 56, in dem beispielsweise bei 57 ein durch Materialschwächung erhaltenes Filmscharnier vorgesehen ist, das die Federrastnase 51 stets in die gezeigte Stellung und damit den Schieber 12 stets in die Schließlage zieht. Der Schieber 12 läßt sich also nur durch Betätigen an seiner Handhabe 14 und durch Auslösen der hier nicht gezeigten Sperre öffnen. Umgekehrt kann der vom Rumpf 2 getrennte Deckel 4 ohne weitere vorkehrende Handgriffe ausschließlich durch Aufdrücken auf den Rumpf an diesem festgelegt werden. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 18 besteht der Deckel 4 aus zwei Materialien, nämlich einer Deckelscheibe 58 mit Randflansch 8 aus Karton oder Kartonverbund. Die Deckelscheibe 58 mit Randflansch 8 bildet also den gesamten oberseitigen Abschluß. Als getrenntes Bauteil ist die Federrastnase 51 mit der Deckelscheibe 58 verbunden. Beispielsweise kann die Federrastnase 51 als Spritzgußteil ausgebildet und mittels eines nietartigen Kopfes 59 in eine Öffnung der Deckelscheibe 58 eingesteckt werden. Der Schieber 12 ist an einem Schlitz 59 der Deckelscheibe 58 geführt. Auch hier kann die Federrastnase 52 am Schieber 12 wiederum als Schließfeder ähnlich Figur 17 ausgebildet sein.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 17, with a cover design similar to that in FIG. 16, the spring catch 51 formed on the slide 12 is also connected to the cover 4. It in turn has a kink apex 52 which engages under the bead 7. In this case, the spring catch 51 also forms a spring 56 which urges the slide 12 into the closed position, in which, for example, a film hinge obtained by material weakening is provided at 57, which always keeps the spring catch 51 in the position shown and thus the slide 12 always in the closed position pulls. The slide 12 can therefore only be opened by actuating its handle 14 and by triggering the lock, not shown here. Conversely, the lid 4, which is separated from the fuselage 2, can be fixed on the fuselage by pressing it onto the fuselage without any further hand movements. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 18, the cover 4 consists of two materials, namely a cover plate 58 with an edge flange 8 made of cardboard or cardboard composite. The cover plate 58 with edge flange 8 thus forms the entire top end. As a separate component, the spring catch 51 is connected to the cover disk 58. For example, the spring catch 51 can be formed as an injection molded part and inserted into an opening of the cover plate 58 by means of a rivet-like head 59. The slide 12 is guided on a slot 59 of the cover plate 58. Here, too, the spring catch 52 on the slide 12 can again be designed as a closing spring similar to FIG. 17.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 19 und 20 sind die Funktionen der Schließfeder und der Federrastnasen getrennt. Der Schieber 12 mit der Handhabe 14 und den Sperren 17 weist wiederum eine Federrastnase 52 auf, die beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als V-förmiges Federbein ausgebildet ist und in der Schließlage, wie aus Figur 20 ersichtlich, den Deckel 4 gegen Abheben sperrt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ferner der Deckel an seiner Unterseite mit einer nach unten reichenden, mehrfach unterbrochenen Rippe 60 versehen, die sich am gesamten Innenumfang des Wulstes 7 anlegt und für eine zusätzliche Abdichtung sorgt. Der Schieber 12 sitzt wiederum in seitlichen Führungen 13, die beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel (Figur 20) von Schlitzen 61 an nach unten reichenden Laschen 62 und in die Schlitze eingreifenden Nasen 63 am Schieber 12 gebildet ist. Ferner ist der Schieber 12 aus Gründen der Materialersparnis mit einer großflächigen Aussparung 64 versehen.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 19 and 20, the functions of the closing spring and the spring latches are separated. The slide 12 with the handle 14 and the locks 17 in turn has a spring detent 52 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is designed as a V-shaped spring strut and, in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 20, locks the cover 4 against lifting off. In this embodiment, the lid is also on its underside with a down Reaching, multi-interrupted rib 60 is provided, which lies on the entire inner circumference of the bead 7 and provides an additional seal. The slide 12 is in turn seated in lateral guides 13 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown (FIG. 20), is formed by slots 61 on downwardly extending tabs 62 and lugs 63 engaging in the slots on the slide 12. Furthermore, the slide 12 is provided with a large-area recess 64 for reasons of material savings.

Der Schieber 12 steht bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 19 und 20 unter Wirkung einer ihn in die Schließstellung drängenden Feder 56, die beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als Bügelfeder 65 ausgebildet ist. Die Bügelfeder 65 weist an ihren Anschlußstellen am Schieber 12 bei 66 und im Bereich ihrer äußeren Scheitel 67 Knickstellen nach Art von Filmscharnieren auf. Die Bügelfeder 65 ist mit ihrem dem Schieber 12 abgekehrten Ende am Deckel 4, z. B. an einer an dessen Unterseite angeformten Nase 68 abgestützt.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 19 and 20, the slide 12 is under the action of a spring 56 urging it into the closed position, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is designed as a bow spring 65. The bow spring 65 has at its connection points on the slide 12 at 66 and in the region of its outer apex 67 kinks in the manner of film hinges. The bow spring 65 is with its end facing away from the slide 12 on the cover 4, for. B. supported on a molded on its underside nose 68.

Bei dem in Figur 21 wiedergegebenen Behälter 1 mit einem Tragegriff 5 ist die offene Stirnseite durch einen Deckel 4 verschlossen, der einen linear geführten Schieber 12 aufweist. Der Schieber 12 ist Teil des Deckels 4 und bildet den Verschluß für eine Entnahmeöffnung 71.In the case of the container 1 shown in FIG. 21 with a handle 5, the open end face is closed by a cover 4 which has a linearly guided slide 12. The slide 12 is part of the cover 4 and forms the closure for a removal opening 71.

Zwischen dem Deckel 4 und dem Schieber 12 sind zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordnete Sperren 17 wirksam, die den Schieber 12 in der Schließlage halten. Die Rasten Sperren 17 sind so angeordnet, daß sie nur mit zwei Fingern einer Hand gleichzeitig betätigt werden können. Zur Erleichterung des Öffnens des Schiebers 12 mit der anderen Hand weist dieser eine Handhabe 14 in Form einer Grifffläche auf, die in der Schließlage in eine entsprechende Aussparung 70 am Deckel 4 bündig eingreift.Between the cover 4 and the slide 12 two spaced-apart locks 17 are effective which hold the slide 12 in the closed position. The detents locks 17 are arranged so that they can only be operated with two fingers of one hand at the same time. To facilitate opening of the slide 12 with the other hand, it has a handle 14 in the form of a gripping surface which, in the closed position, engages flush in a corresponding recess 70 on the cover 4.

Der Deckel 4 besitzt wiederum einen Ringflansch 8, mittels dessen er auf die offene Stirnseite des Behälterrumpfs 2 aufgesetzt und an dieser dauerhaft befestigt ist. Er weist, wie aus Figur 23 und 24 ersichtlich, zwei umlaufende und übereinander angeordnete Führungsleisten 20 auf, zwischen denen der Schieber 12 geführt ist. Die Führungsleisten 20 sind an der einen Seite des Behälters, wo sich auch die Grifffläche 70 befindet, etwas breiter ausgebildet. In diesem Bereich sind auch die Sperren 17 wirksam.The lid 4 in turn has an annular flange 8, by means of which it is placed on the open end face of the container body 2 and permanently attached to it. As can be seen from FIGS. 23 and 24, it has two circumferential guide rails 20, one above the other, between which the slide 12 is guided. The guide strips 20 are designed somewhat wider on one side of the container, where the gripping surface 70 is also located. The locks 17 are also effective in this area.

Die Sperren 17 sind wiederum von je einem Nocken 18 am Deckel 4 und einer etwa umrißgleichen Öffnung 19 am Schieber 12 gebildet. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 21 bis 24 sind die Nocken 18 an der unteren Führungsleiste 20 des Deckels 4 angeordnet und ferner an der oberen Führungsleiste eine weitere Öffnung 73 fluchtend mit dem Nocken 18 angeordnet, in die der Nocken in der Schließlage ebenso eingreift wie in die Öffnung 19 am Schieber 12. Der Nocken 18 sitzt an einer federnd nachgiebigen Zunge 72, die beispielsweise aus der unteren Führungsleiste 20 so ausgestanzt ist, daß sie nur an ihrer einen Seite Materialverbindung mit der Führungsleiste hat.The locks 17 are each formed by a cam 18 on the cover 4 and an approximately contoured opening 19 on the slide 12. In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 21 to 24, the cams 18 are arranged on the lower guide bar 20 of the cover 4 and, furthermore, a further opening 73 is arranged in alignment with the cam 18 on the upper guide bar, into which the cam engages in the closed position as well as in FIG Opening 19 on the slide 12. The cam 18 is seated on a resilient tongue 72, which is punched out, for example, of the lower guide bar 20 so that it has material connection to the guide bar only on one side.

In der Schließlage, die in Figur 24 mit durchgezogenen Linien wiedergegeben ist, durchgreift der Nocken 18 die Öffnung 19 im Schieber 12 und greift ferner in die Öffnung 73 an der oberen Führungsleiste 20 ein. Zum Öffnen müssen die Nocken 18 beider Sperren 17 gleichzeitig mit den Fingern einer Hand nach unten gedrückt werden, wobei die Nocken 18 aufgrund der Federeigenschaften der Zungen 72 nach unten ausweichen. Der Druck muß so aufgebracht werden, daß die Nocken außer Eingriff mit den Öffnungen 19 und 73 kommen, so daß durch Angriff mit einem Finger der anderen Hand an der Grifffläche der Schieber 12 gezogen werden kann.In the closed position, which is shown in solid lines in FIG. 24, the cam 18 extends through the opening 19 in the slide 12 and also engages in the opening 73 on the upper guide bar 20. To open, the cams 18 of both locks 17 must be pressed down simultaneously with the fingers of one hand, the cams 18 deflecting downward due to the spring properties of the tongues 72. The pressure must be applied so that the cams disengage from the openings 19 and 73 so that the slider 12 can be pulled by a finger of the other hand on the gripping surface.

In den Figuren 25 bis 28 ist ein Behälter 1 zur portionierten Entnahme des Füllgutes, beispielsweise durch Schütten gezeigt. In diesem Fall ist auf den Behälterrumpf 2 ein Deckel 4 aufgesetzt, der eine kleinere Entnahmeöffnung 71 und eine den übrigen Querschnitt verschließende Deckelscheibe 74 aufweist. Der Schieber 12 ist aus der in Figur 25 und 26 wiedergegebenen Schließlage in eine Öffnungslage bringbar, in der er weitgehend oberhalb der Deckelscheibe 74 liegt und die Öffnung 71 freigibt. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Deckel 4 oberhalb der Deckelscheibe 74 an gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten Führungsleisten 20 auf, so daß der Schieber 12 zwischen diesen Führungsleisten und der Deckelscheibe 74 geführt ist. Ferner weist der Schieber 12 eine Handhabe 14 in Form einer Grifflasche auf.A container 1 for portioning is shown in FIGS. 25 to 28 Removal of the filling material, for example shown by pouring. In this case, a lid 4 is placed on the container body 2, which has a smaller removal opening 71 and a cover disk 74 which closes the remaining cross section. The slide 12 can be brought from the closed position shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 into an open position in which it lies largely above the cover plate 74 and opens the opening 71. For this purpose, the cover 4 has guide strips 20 above the cover disc 74 on opposite longitudinal sides, so that the slide 12 is guided between these guide strips and the cover disc 74. Furthermore, the slide 12 has a handle 14 in the form of a grip tab.

Die Sperren 17 sind in gleicher Weise ausgebildet wie in den Figuren 21 bis 24. Sie sind von Nocken 18 am Randflansch 8 und Öffnungen 19 im Schieber 12 gebildet. Die Nocken 18 sitzen wiederum an federnd nachgiebigen Zungen 72, die in diesem Fall aus der Deckelscheibe 74 herausgearbeit worden sind. Die beiden Nocken 18 und die Öffnungen 19 sind, wie bei dem zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel, etwa auf einer senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung verlaufenden Linie nebeneinander angeordnet.The locks 17 are designed in the same way as in FIGS. 21 to 24. They are formed by cams 18 on the edge flange 8 and openings 19 in the slide 12. The cams 18 are in turn seated on resilient tongues 72, which in this case have been worked out of the cover disk 74. As in the exemplary embodiment described above, the two cams 18 and the openings 19 are arranged next to one another, for example on a line running perpendicular to the direction of movement.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 29 weist der Schieber 12 wiederum zwei Öffnungen 19 auf, die in gleicher Weise angeordnet und ausgebildet sind wie bei Figur 26. Es sind jedoch die Nocken 18 anders angeordnet. In der Schließlage greift der Nocken 18′ in die Öffnung 19 ein, während der Nocken 18" sich unwirksam unterhalb des Schiebers 12 befindet. Ferner ist die Entnahmeöffnung 71 etwas kleiner ausgebildet, indem der rechte Rand 75 weiter nach innen versetzt ist. Um die Entnahmeöffnung 71 freizulegen, muß zunächst der Nocken 18′ gedrückt und der Schieber 12 durch Greifen der Handhabe 14 mit der anderen Hand in Öffnungsrichtung verschoben werden. Bei dieser Verschiebung erreicht der Schieber eine Zwischenlage, in der der Nocken 18˝, dessen Zunge 72˝ der Zunge 72′ des anderen Nockens 18′ entgegengesetzt ist, in die Öffnung 19 einrastet. In dieser Zwischenlage ist die Entnahmeöffnung noch nicht freigegeben. Durch Eindrücken des Nockens 18" in die zugehörige Öffnung 19 wird auch die zweite Sperre gelöst, so daß der Schieber 12 in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden kann. Beim Öffnen können die Nocken 18′ und 18" nacheinander gedrückt werden. Ist die Funktion der Öffnungsmechanik erkannt, kann jedoch der Benutzer auch gleichzeitig den Nocken 18′ drücken und mit dem anderen Finger in die gegenüberliegende Öffnung 19 eingreifen, so daß der Nocken 18" gar nicht erst in diese Öffnung einrasten kann.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 29, the slide 12 again has two openings 19 which are arranged and designed in the same way as in FIG. 26. However, the cams 18 are arranged differently. In the closed position, the cam 18 'engages in the opening 19, while the cam 18 "is ineffective below the slide 12. Furthermore, the removal opening 71 is made somewhat smaller by the right edge 75 being displaced further inward. About the removal opening To expose 71, the cam 18 'must first be pressed and the slide 12 must be moved in the opening direction with the other hand by gripping the handle 14. With this displacement, the slide reaches an intermediate position in which the cam 18˝, the tongue 72˝ of the tongue 72 'of the other cam 18' opposite is engaged in the opening 19. The removal opening has not yet been opened in this intermediate position. By pressing the cam 18 "into the associated opening 19, the second lock is also released so that the slide 12 can be moved into the open position. When opening, the cams 18 'and 18" can be pressed one after the other. Is the function of the opening mechanism recognized, but the user can also press the cam 18 'at the same time and engage with the other finger in the opposite opening 19, so that the cam 18 "can not even snap into this opening.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 30 sind die Entnahmeöffnung 71 und die Nocken 18′, 18" mit ihren Zungen 72′ und 72" in gleicher Weise ausgebildet wie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 29. In Abwandlung hiervon jedoch ist die dem Nocken 18" zugeordnete Öffnung als Langloch 76 ausgebildet, dessen Länge dem Verschiebeweg zwischen Schließlage und Zwischenlage des Schiebers 12 entspricht. Um die Entnahmeöffnung 71 freizugeben, muß zumindest zunächst der Nocken 18′ in die Öffnung 19 hineingedrückt werden, so daß sich der Schieber 12 in die Zwischenlage bewegen läßt, in der der Nocken 18" am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Langlochs 76 anschlägt. Durch anschließendes Drücken des Nockens 18" kann dann der Schieber 12 in die Öffnungslage bewegt werden. Hat der Benutzer die Öffnungsmechanik erkannt, kann er in der Schließlage beide Nocken 18′ und 18" gleichzeitig drücken und zumindest den Druck auf den Nocken 18" so lange andauern lassen, bis das Langloch 76 diesen Nocken passiert hat.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 30, the removal opening 71 and the cams 18 ′, 18 ″ with their tongues 72 ′ and 72 ″ are designed in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 29. However, in a modification of this, the opening assigned to the cam 18 ″ is formed as an elongated hole 76, the length of which corresponds to the displacement between the closed position and the intermediate position of the slide 12. In order to open the removal opening 71, the cam 18 ′ must at least first be pressed into the opening 19 so that the slide 12 can be moved into the intermediate position, in which the cam 18 "strikes the opposite end of the elongated hole 76. By subsequently pressing the cam 18 ", the slide 12 can then be moved into the open position. If the user has recognized the opening mechanism, he can press both cams 18 'and 18" simultaneously in the closed position and at least the pressure on the cam 18 "for as long Let it continue until slot 76 has passed this cam.
