Definitions

  • the invention initially relates to a closure cap according to the features of The preamble of claim 1, further with a bottle container cooperating cap according to the features of the preamble of claim 2 and a method for bouncing a cap to a bottle container according to the features of the preamble of Claim 16.
  • a generic cap is known from WO93 / 14000.
  • the relatively far beyond the sealing collar reaching out Ein Switzerlandnch may in unfavorable constellations to miscarriages or a block before joining the cap on the bottleneck to lead.
  • a cap or a combination of a cap with a bottle container or a method for Bouncing a cap on a bottle container indicate with which with simple injection molding design a secure joining of the Closing partner is achieved.
  • Bottleneck trained locking projection sure to overcome. If no tax deduction funds are provided, then then there is an irreversible catch with the bottleneck respectively the bottle container. Further it is provided that the latching arm substantially parallel extends to a central axis of the discharge opening. This allows the transmission of sufficient bounce forces. A particularly stable locking arm is achieved when this participates in the ring form. An advantageous Solution is achieved when two are essentially each other opposite latching arms are formed. Of the Length stock is easy due to wave formation reached the ring. It is sufficient, if only one Part of the ring is undulating in the circumferential direction.
  • the mating thread can also be bounced by overcome, but on the other hand creates the opportunity screwing and unscrewing.
  • the This given interruption of appropriate thread is further advantageous in that usable a circumferentially facing end face of a Threads with one on the ring or the locking arm formed stop surface cooperates. Is usable this as an additional limit.
  • the frontal area needs just enough to be steep. implemented is said abutment surface on the inside of Rastarmes in the form of a substantially vertically extending Stop bar. This is formed on the latching arm and stiffening on him, creating a kind of T-profile with albeit short T-bridge.
  • the cap a central collar for engaging in a dispensing opening the bottle container especially assembly technology advantageous that the collar an insertion bevel has to cooperate with an edge of Dispensing opening.
  • the example rotationally symmetric Insertion bevel brings an effective pre-centering in terms of the edge.
  • the insertion bevel a multiple of the Wall thickness of the collar has. That can be up to Five times go. It is favorable if the insertion bevel formed from several separate insertion tongues is. These show the tongue-typical rounding and can also work out in the direction of the wall towards the free end. As has been found, four equal angles distributed insertion tongues.
  • a container-side contribution for the corresponding centering of the plug-in technology to be connected elements is that the inner edge the edge of the bottle neck is chewed. Further brings the invention in suggestion that the cap with a total closed training on the outside having a separately arranged overlapping part.
  • the latter can be a carrier of information, etc. to color selection, etc., it is favorable that the Sprinting part is latched on the closure cap.
  • the Covering part is designed dome-like.
  • a good Connection base is given when the cap formed in the area of the overlap part planar is.
  • the planar area in Umrißcan of the overlapping part is sunken. So the Kochdekkungsteil needs not even a related edge finish.
  • the stop bar from a stop surface of the latching arm directly is formed and with a counter-acting Neck bar at the foot of the bottle neck as a rotation limiting stop cooperates in Zuschraubraum.
  • a counter-acting Neck bar at the foot of the bottle neck as a rotation limiting stop cooperates in Zuschraubraum.
  • the neck bar can generate a fairly large counter-attack which, in any case, is above the usable surface area the end face of a thread lies.
  • the back of the neck strip the course of the thread of the locking projection accordingly aligned. That also increases the Stability of the neck strip, which also arranged in pairs can be.
  • Increasing the stability with respect to the stop bar is a measure that the Back of the locking arm or the stop bar by a Crest bar is stiffened.
  • Unscrewing can be in the inner wall the cap practically roots T-profile.
  • Alternative means of protection against self-dissolving Unscrewing consists of a combination of features in that the closure cap is inside having a resilient edge wing, which in the Screw-on end edge ribs of the bottle container snaps behind and so on the cap secures against self-loosening.
  • This too Means for securing against self-loosening the cap is suitably formed in pairs.
  • An advantageous development then results in that the edge ribs overflow like a snap Edge wing in the inner wall of the cap rooted. He is connected so load stable.
  • a partial length fixation i. the edge wing is not on the whole vertical length to the Tied inside wall, this to form a free resilient tongue towards the edge rib.
  • the intermediate cap stiffens the head area of the Bottleneck, in turn, the intermediate cap stiffened.
  • the intermediate cap edge-locked at the bottleneck Is preferred an outside latch applied, characterized by an outward locking bead on the edge of the Bottle neck.
  • the locking lugs inside the intermediate cap edge They are under attack with a steep flank the corresponding lower flank of the edge bead. Of course, have such locking lugs an overflowable back on.
  • the Locking noses cut free in the back like a window. The promotes their radially outgoing evasive mobility. It is favorable, if four angle equals distributed arranged locking lugs are provided.
  • Proposal brought that the intermediate cap a centrally located Spout has.
  • the illustrated closure V of a dispenser or container comprises a closure cap 1, which a neck 2 a bottle container 3 can be assigned.
  • Both parts are produced under maximum thinness, one as a molded part, the other as a blown part. Both parts are also under the aspect of process safety Stably designed during assembly, this especially with regard to the locking means realized here.

Moreover, the ring R has sections, which are larger than its inner diameter d. These Sections create a longitudinal stock L. Letzerer is so dimensioned that the ring R is against its own Restoring restoring force can be. This condition occurs if the ring R has a larger outer diameter than d having locking projection 4 must overcome what is in Paths of the bounce allocation occurs.

The usually happens by tearing off the ring R on at least one locking arm 5. This is a tamper evidence in front. The constriction of the ring R but is so large that the container continues to be usable is, that is, the cap can be alsschnäppern. In this basic version remaining, is still execute that the ring R has a predetermined breaking point. This is designated 66 in FIG.

The optical positive connection of closure V to container 3 is reached in each case.
  • the last described Version should allow for asymmetries to enable mating docking. So there is only one fix position of the contour equidistance of closure V and container 3, the umschlägig, For example, at 180 ° rotation no longer exists. From this arises the requirement, the constructive Design to perfect so that the closure-container pairing only in one, the contour equidistance securing position.
