Definitions

• the invention relates to a packaging container according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
• a typical embodiment for a "tamper evident” closure is one in which a membrane is applied to a pouring opening and a closure cap, e.g. a screw cap that covers the membrane. It is not easy to determine an intervention here, since the screw cap must first be removed and the integrity of the membrane, which can also be repaired, checked.
• the twist lock In the case of a known "tamper proof" closure, the twist lock carries a zipper ring which is actuated when the twist lock is actuated.
• REPLACEMENT LEAF Closure opens with the formation of ring segments.
• the ring segments illustrate a rotary lock actuation, the ring segments can no longer be joined together to form a closed tear ring.
• REPLACEMENT LEAF Fig. 1 A container designed according to the invention without closure in side view;
• Fig. 2 shows a closure for the container of Figure 1 in section in side view.
• FIG. 3 shows a view along the section line I - I in FIG. 2 in a top view
• Fig. 4 is a view along the section line II - II in Fig. 2 in plan view.
• the container 10 is a fundamentally recyclable, i.e. refillable storage container for a dispenser (not shown), for example for liquid soaps or the like.
• the container 10 carries a container neck 11 provided with a passage opening, onto which the closure 12 shown in FIG. 2 can be attached and locked.
• the closure 12 can be applied to the container neck 11 by means of an opening left-hand thread 12, the threads of which are arranged on the container neck 13 and in the interior of the closure 12, so that the closure 12 on the container 10, counterclockwise in the direction of rotation which is normally customary (by means of right-hand thread) can be screwed on.
• the container neck 13 and closure 12 carry a lock 14 consisting of a circumferential toothed ring 14a arranged on the container neck 13 (FIG. 1) and toothed ring 14b provided in the closure.
• Fig. 3 shows the toothing ring 14b in the closure 12 in plan view in section. Thereafter, the toothing ring 14b,
• the toothing ring 14a is identical, but is a mirror image of the reverse arrangement of the inner toothing ring 14b, so that the teeth 23 of the outer ring 14a and the inner toothing ring 14b for locking the closure 12 against normal, counterclockwise rotation of the opening, ie turning rotation, on the container neck 11 can engage with one another, the locking 14 being achieved in that the tooth surfaces 15 running in the direction of the center points of the container neck 11 and closure 12 and the approximately tangential tooth surfaces 16 lie on one another.
• the lock 12 is thus secured against rotation on the container neck 11 a left-hand thread - normally a right-hand thread - is provided for this, when a normal opening movement is carried out this causes the lock to be tightened further, this thread in combination with the locking mechanism that changes when the direction of rotation changes to the right right - again for the attempted opening - fixes the closure 12 on the container neck 11.
• the closure 12 engages over the container neck 11 so that the lock 14 is invisible.
• the container 10 is made of soft polyethylene, while the closure 12 is made of harder polypropylene.
• the closure 12 defines with a first end face 17 a delivery device, not shown, in the form of a pump against the end face 18 of the container neck 11.
• An actuating piston passes through the extension 19 on the closure 12 and a central recess 21 provided in the end face 20 of the extension 19.
• the extension 19 with the closure 12 is distributed axially over the circumference of the extension 19 and is evenly distributed Crosspieces 22, in the present case eight crosspieces 22, are connected. Connecting the extension 19 to the closure 12 by means of webs 22 serves as a second rotation lock.
• the closure 12 is practically secured twice against rotation. If a force is applied to the extension 19 in order to turn off the closure 12 either by clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation, the webs 22 break off, while when the force is applied to the closure part 24, the container neck 11 is twisted off.
• the invention creates a "tamper-proof" container, the container or closure of which is destroyed in the event of closure manipulations and thus makes the container and possibly the closure unusable make, whereby a recycling of the container with falsified content may be excluded.
