Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluß für einen Behälter aus einem Verschlußunterteil und einer Schraubkappe, bei dem das Verschlußunterteil mittels eines Basisteils mit der Behälteröffnung verbindbar ist und eine Ausgießtülle aufweist, bei dem die Schraubkappe mit Kappenboden und mit Innengewinde versehenem Kappenmantel auf die mit Außengewinde versehene Ausgießtülle auf- und abschraubbar ist, bei dem die auf die Ausgießtülle aufgeschraubte Schraubkappe mittels Rastverbindungen gegen Abschrauben gesichert ist und bei dem durch Aufheben der Rastverbindung die Schraubkappe zum Abschrauben freigebbar ist.The invention relates to a closure for a container made of a lower closure part and a screw cap, in which the lower closure part can be connected to the container opening by means of a base part and has a pouring spout, in which the screw cap with a cap bottom and an internally threaded cap jacket onto the externally threaded pouring spout - And can be unscrewed, in which the screw cap screwed onto the pouring spout is secured against unscrewing by means of snap-in connections and in which the screw cap can be released for unscrewing by removing the snap-in connection.

Ein derartiger Verschluß ist aus der DE 42 09 784 A1 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Verschluß wird die Rastverbindung zwischen der Schraubkappe und dem Balg gebildet. Dazu ist die Stirnseite des Kappenmantels umlaufend mit Rastlappen versehen, zwischen die an dem Balg des Verschlußunterteils angeformte Rastnocken einrasten. Zum Aufheben der Rastverbindungen muß der Balg zusammengedrückt werden, so daß die Rastnocken radial nach innen ausgelenkt und aus den Rastaufnahmen im Kappenmantel herausbewegt werden. Diese Auslenkung des Balgs erfordert erhebliche Kraftaufwendung, insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um einen stabilen Verschluß für große Behälter handelt.Such a closure is known from DE 42 09 784 A1. In this known closure, the snap connection between the screw cap and the bellows is formed. For this purpose, the end face of the cap jacket is provided all around with latching tabs, between which latching latches formed on the bellows of the lower part of the latch snap into place. To release the locking connections, the bellows must be pressed together, so that the locking cams move radially deflected inside and moved out of the snap-in receptacles in the cap jacket. This deflection of the bellows requires considerable effort, especially when it is a stable closure for large containers.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, bei einem Verschluß der eingangs erwähnten Art die Rastverbindungen so zu gestalten, daß sie leicht aufgehoben werden können, ohne jedoch ihre Funktion als Kindersicherung einzubüßen.It is an object of the invention to design the latching connections in a closure of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that they can be easily removed without, however, losing their function as child safety devices.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß im Übergangsbereich zu der Ausgießtülle an dem Verschluß ein zum Kappenmantel hin abstehend angeformter Ringflansch angeformt ist, der die Rastlappen teilweise überdeckt, und daß der Ringflansch auf der den Rastlappen zugekehrten Innenseite mit Rastnocken versehen ist, die in Aufschraubrichtung eine flache Anstiegsflanke aufweisen, welche in steile Rastflanken übergehen und mit den Rastlappen der Schraubkappe Rastverbindungen bilden, welche durch radiales Auslenken der Rastlappen aufhebbar sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that, in the transition area to the pouring spout, an annular flange is formed on the closure, which protrudes toward the cap jacket and which partially covers the latching tabs, and that the annular flange is provided with latching cams on the inside facing the latching tab have a flat rising flank in the screwing-on direction, which merge into steep latching flanks and form latching connections with the latching tabs of the screw cap, which can be canceled by radially deflecting the latching tabs.

Die Rastlappen lassen sich außerhalb des Ringflansches nach innen drücken, wobei die Rastverbindung mit den Rastnocken auf der Innenseite des Ringflansches aufgehoben wird. Dadurch können die Rastlappen der Schraubkappe die Rastflanken der Rastnocken passieren, d.h. die Schraubkappe kann von der Ausgießtülle abgeschraubt werden. Die Stellen der Rastlappen sind leicht erkennbar, so daß es für den Erwachsenen keine Schwierigkeiten bereitet, die Kindersicherung aufzuheben. Durch den zusätzlichen Ringflansch am Verschlußunterteil wird die Funktion des Verschlusses nicht mehr beeinträchtigt, wie bei dem bekannten Verschluß mit den Rastnocken auf dem Balg.The locking tabs can be pressed inwards outside the ring flange, the locking connection with the locking cams on the inside of the ring flange being canceled. As a result, the locking tabs of the screw cap can pass the locking flanks of the locking cams, ie the screw cap can be unscrewed from the pouring spout. The locations of the locking tabs are easily recognizable, so that it is no problem for the adult to remove the child lock. The additional ring flange on the lower part of the closure no longer affects the function of the closure, as in the known closure with the locking cams on the bellows.

Von Vorteil ist eine Ausgestaltung, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß am Kappenmantel zwei Rastlappen diametral angeordnet sind und daß jedem Rastlappen ein Rastnocken an dem Verschlußteil zugeordnet ist. Durch Zusammendrücken des unteren Bereiches des Kappenmantels werden beide Rastverbindungen gleichzeitig aufgehoben, wenn die Ansatzpunkte beim Fassen der Schraubkappe an den Rastlappen gewählt werden. Die so gefaßte und zusammengedrückte Schraubkappe läßt sich dann gleichzeitig auch von der Ausgießtülle abschrauben.An advantage is an embodiment, which is characterized in that two locking tabs are arranged diametrically on the cap jacket and that each locking tab is assigned a locking cam on the closure part. By pressing the lower area of the cap casing together, both snap-in connections are released at the same time if the starting points are selected when gripping the screw cap on the snap-in tabs. The screw cap so compressed and compressed can then also be unscrewed from the pouring spout at the same time.

Die Anbringung des Ringflansches an dem Verschlußunterteil ist vorzugsweise so vorgenommen, daß die Ausgießtülle über einen Absatz in den Balg übergeht und daß der Ringflansch an dem Absatz konzentrisch zur Ausgießtülle angeformt ist und mit dieser eine Ringaufnahme für die Rastlappen der Schraubkappe bildet.The attachment of the ring flange to the lower part of the closure is preferably carried out so that the pouring spout merges into the bellows via a shoulder and that the ring flange is formed on the shoulder concentrically to the pouring spout and forms an annular receptacle for the locking tabs of the screw cap.

Damit die Auslenkung der Rastlappen leicht vorgenommen werden kann, ist nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, daß die Rastlappen dünnwandig ausgebildet sind und sich über einen Teil des Umfanges des Kappenmantels erstrecken und radial leicht auslenkbar sind. Damit wird ein größerer Ansatzbereich zum Fassen der Schraubkappe erreicht.So that the deflection of the locking tabs can be easily carried out, it is provided according to a further embodiment that the locking tabs are thin-walled and extend over part of the circumference of the cap shell and are radially easily deflected. This creates a larger attachment area for gripping the screw cap.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

partly in side view and partly in longitudinal section a closure of the lower part and screw cap in the secured closed position, but with the pouring spout pulled out, and
Fig. 2
a cross section through the closure along the line II-II of FIG. 1st

Der Verschluß besteht aus einem Verschlußunterteil 10, das ein Basisteil 11, einen Balg 12 und eine Ausgießtülle 15 umfaßt. Das Basisteil 11 ist in eine Behälteröffnung einrastbar. In Fig. 1 ist der Balg 12 ausgezogen. Die Ausgießtülle 15 hat ein Außengewinde, auf das eine mit Innengewinde versehene Schraubkappe 20 auf- und abschraubbar ist. Die Schraubkappe 20 trägt das Innengewinde auf der Innenseite eines Kappenmantels 21. Die Ausgießtülle 15 ist im Auslieferzustand mittels einer Siegelplatte 16 verschlossen. Die Siegelplatte 16 kann mittels einer Grifflasche 17 aus der Ausgießtülle 15 herausgerissen werden.The closure consists of a lower closure part 10, which comprises a base part 11, a bellows 12 and a pouring spout 15. The base part 11 can be snapped into a container opening. In Fig. 1, the bellows 12 is extended. The pouring spout 15 has an external thread onto which an internally threaded screw cap 20 can be screwed on and off. The screw cap 20 carries the internal thread on the inside of a cap jacket 21. The pouring spout 15 is closed in the delivery state by means of a sealing plate 16. The sealing plate 16 can be torn out of the pouring spout 15 by means of a grip tab 17.

Der Kappenmantel 21 der Schraubkappe 20 läuft an der freien Stirnseite in zwei diametral zueinander stehende Rastlappen 22 aus, die sich über einen Teil des Umfanges der Schraubkappe 20 erstrecken, wie der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist. Der Übergang von der Ausgießtülle 15 zum Balg 12 ist als Absatz 13 ausgebildet. An dem Absatz 13 ist ein umlaufender Ringflansch 14 angeformt, der zum Kappenmantel 21 hin gerichtet ist und mit der Ausgießtülle 15 einen Aufnahmeraum 26 für die Rastlappen 22 der Schraubkappe 20 bildet, wenn diese auf die Ausgießtülle 15 aufgeschraubt ist. Der Ringflansch 14 trägt auf seiner Innenseite, d.h. den Rastlappen 22 zugekehrt, Rastnocken 23, welche in Aufschraubrichtung flache Anstiegsflanken 24 aufweisen. Die Anstiegsflanken 23 gehen in steile Rastflanken 25 über, hinter die die Rastlappen 22 der Schraubkappe 20 einrasten. Der Ringflansch 14 überdeckt die Rastlappen 22 teilweise, so daß ein Teil derselben noch einsehbar ist und so die Ansatzpunkte zum Fassen der Schraubkappe 20 markieren.The cap jacket 21 of the screw cap 20 ends on the free end face in two diametrically opposed locking tabs 22 which extend over part of the circumference of the screw cap 20, as can be seen in FIG. 2. The transition from the pouring spout 15 to the bellows 12 is designed as a shoulder 13. A circumferential ring flange 14 is formed on the shoulder 13, which is directed towards the cap jacket 21 and forms a receiving space 26 with the pouring spout 15 for the latching tabs 22 of the screw cap 20 when it is screwed onto the pouring spout 15. The ring flange 14 carries on its inside, ie facing the locking tabs 22, locking cams 23 which have flat rising flanks 24 in the screwing-on direction. The rising edges 23 merge into steep locking edges 25, behind which the locking tabs 22 of the screw cap 20 snap into place. The ring flange 14 partially covers the locking tabs 22, so that a part of them can still be seen and thus mark the starting points for gripping the screw cap 20.

Wird die Schraubkappe 20 im Bereich der Rastlappen 22 gefaßt und zusammengedrückt, dann werden die Rastlappen 22 außer Eingriff mit dem Rastnocken 23 an dem Ringflansch 14 angebracht. Die Schraubkappe 20 kann dann von der Ausgießtülle 15 abgeschraubt werden.If the screw cap 20 is gripped and compressed in the area of the locking tabs 22, then the locking tabs 22 are attached to the ring flange 14 out of engagement with the locking cam 23. The screw cap 20 can then be unscrewed from the pouring spout 15.

Beim Aufschrauben der Schraubkappe 20 auf die Ausgießtülle 15 gleiten die Rastlappen 22 über die flachen Anstiegsflanken 24 der Rastnocken 23 an dem Ringflansch 14, stoßen beim Abschrauben jedoch an die steilen Rastflanken 25 der Rastnocken 23.When the screw cap 20 is screwed onto the pouring spout 15, the latching lugs 22 slide over the flat rising flanks 24 of the latching cams 23 on the ring flange 14, but when unscrewing they encounter the steep latching flanks 25 of the latching cams 23.

Normalerweise genügt eine einzige Rastverbindung als Kindersicherung. Die beiden diametral angeordneten Rastverbindungen erhöhen jedoch die Sicherheit und erleichtern dem Erwachsenen die Aufhebung der Kindersicherung.A single snap connection is normally sufficient as a child lock. However, the two diametrically arranged snap-in connections increase safety and make it easier for adults to remove parental controls.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Verschluß mit einem elastisch ausziehbaren Balg 12 gezeigt. Es ist jedoch möglich, die Kindersicherung an jedem beliebigen Verschluß zu verwenden. Insbesondere ist es denkbar, den Ringflansch 14 mit seinem Behälter selbst anzuordnen. Auch kann der Ringflansch 14 direkt an dem Verschlußunterteil 10 angeformt sein.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, a closure with an elastically extendable bellows 12 is shown. However, it is possible to use the child lock on any lock. In particular, it is conceivable to arrange the ring flange 14 with its container itself. The ring flange 14 can also be formed directly on the lower closure part 10.
