Definitions
- the invention relates to a container closure according to the Genus of the main claim.
- plastic containers are manufactured in many different ways, both for personal care products, for Food as well as for technical means.
- the decisive factor is that the Substance to be picked up from the container, in particular Due to the natural way can be removed.
- containers are generic, in which due to the Elasticity of the container wall due to the absorbed substance Pressing the container can be pressed out.
- the Generic container closure is not only on Small container restricted, but also extends to both Tubes as well as on large containers.
- the container is over one Container opening can be emptied, the container opening immediately is arranged on the container or only attached to it can, for example by screwing, sticking or the like.
- this container opening has an opening which merges with the Locking part of the locking head for locking them cooperates.
- closing head and container different materials, however, exist Parts of the closing head including the swivel connection preferably made of the same plastic, in order to achieve corresponding advantages when recycling the plastic.
- this excludes does not mean that such a container is used as a reusable container becomes.
- a container opening with a mouth arranged on the upper wall surface and the wall surface is covered by a cap-like closing head completely covered.
- a hinge strap as Swivel connection available to swing this cap away can.
- On the inside of this cap facing the neck a socket is provided which with the cap closed over the Container opening is put over to close them. Because both Cap and container are made of the same plastic is a sorted recycling possible. Attaching the cap to the Above all, the container is used for targeted, simple closure which the socket slipped over the container opening and on the bottom the conical formation is connected.
- a container is known (US 5 358 154), in which one Locking device from an open to a closed position can be moved.
- a is in the wall of the container flexible area provided that has a smaller wall thickness than that has remaining wall of the container.
- This flexible area acts like a hinge and makes it possible Swiveling the locking device.
- This works disadvantageously Locking part does not encompass the container opening Closing head but just like a container opening closing lid.
- the container closure according to the invention with the characteristic Features of the main claim have the advantage over it on that the outlet opening is also arranged on the closing head and when swiveling the same in front of the neck of the neck Container arrives.
- the between this outlet opening and the Container opening delimited by the film can the Container space can be attributed as it is with the container open is directly connected to the interior of the container.
- the contents of the container flow through when the container is emptied this room and the closing head.
- the outlet opening remains unchanged on the outside, so that at this outlet opening any guide means such as tubes and the like can be arranged without the function of Container closure would be affected.
- the shape of a ball has the advantage that it roughly has the function of the container closure according to the invention follows. When opening the Container, i.e. swiveling the head upwards, becomes this gestural clarified. When closing the container, the head correspondingly pivoted to the side and over the Opening the container.
- a spherical body has one optimal stability with a minimum of material.
- the seal between the "ring” and “ball” is manufactured easy to control, due to the fact that it is in the sealing area resulting conical sealing arrangement between the interacting parts creates a kind of wedge seal in which lower for the desired sealing quality, in the axial direction acting forces are required than with a flat gasket.
- the Seal can also be achieved by an undercut on the closing part after which this is in the mouth of the container opening snapped.
- the outlet opening via a existing bulge on the closing head or container is pivoted or inverted and thus closable.
- This bulge can be arranged laterally on the neck of the container and closes in similar to how the spherical cap the container opening here Outlet opening. This mainly avoids that in Drain the existing material through the outlet opening can, although the closing head is in the closed position.
- the swivel angle of the cap is approximately 78 °.
- the swivel angle can vary considerably, depending on the size of the Outlet opening, the distance from the outlet opening to Pivot point of the closing head and dimensions of the closing part. If necessary, a relatively small swivel angle is sufficient between the closed position and the open position of the closing head, without the substance flowing out of the container would be prevented.
- At least one of the end positions after swiveling the Locking head locked in the manner of a snap connection can simultaneously the contact pressure between the closing part and the mouth of the container opening be determined and accordingly the sealing pressure between Bulge and outlet opening when closed Container closure.
- the delimiting film consists of the same plastic material, like the closing head. This will make the pure variety Recycle the item.
- the invention is manufactured in Plastic blowing process, the blow mandrel through the neck in the The container protrudes and the finished product closes the container shows open state.
- Container closure has advantages in this type of manufacturing process because the construction of the container closure without Undercuts.
- the bottle shown in perspective in FIG. 1 has a container 1 on, with a container opening that has a mouth 2, with a closing head 4 via a swivel connection 3 is pivotally arranged.
- the closing head 4 has one hemispherical cap 5, with an outlet opening 6 and a closing part 7 on the inside of the cap 5.
- a flexible film 8 is present, which with the Cap 5, between the outlet opening 6 and the mouth 2nd located room 9 limited.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show the bottle 1 in the closed state, after the cap 5, as explained in FIGS. 3 and 4 to the Swivel connection 3 pivoted down and over the Container opening was put over.
- the outlet opening 6 has now to the side, while the dome-shaped inside trained closing part 7 on the upper edge, the mouth 2, rests and thereby closes the bottle 1.
- the also at the Cap 5 arranged outlet opening 6 is through a through which Foil 8 formed bulge 10 closed, so that possible, in Room 9 existing substances when spilling in this room remained, could not get outside.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 The closer function of opening and closing the The container closure according to the invention is in FIGS. 3 and 4 recognizable.
- the cap 5 is movable around the pivot connection 3 and assumes an end position in FIG. 3 in which the closing part 7 is pivoted away from the container opening and thereby the Outlet opening 6 releases, while in Fig. 4 in the closed position of the Closing head 4 of the closing part 7 rests on the mouth 2 and so that it closes.
- the outlet opening 6, the corresponding from has been swung up to the side by the Bulge 10 closed.
