Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flip-top closure made of plastic, for a container, in particular a bottle, the closure having a circumferential outer collar which can be embedded in at least one protrusion in at least one beaded edge of the container, with a lid connected to the outer collar via a hinge , which has a grip tab and can be locked via an inside lid edge in the closed state behind a circumferential projection of the outer collar.
  • a so-called one-piece snap hinge made of resilient plastic is already known as prior art (DE 31 50 493).
  • This snap hinge is molded in one piece with a bottle cap, for example made of polypropylene. It has two hinge parts, of which one hinge part serves as the lower part of a bottle closure for placement on a bottle neck, while the other hinge part forms a lid for closing the lower part. Elongated thin spots in the form of film hinges are used, which connect the two hinge parts.
  • FIG. 1 Another state of the art is a snap closure for vessels, in particular for bottles with a bead (AT-PS 389 097).
  • the closure has a jacket protruding from the closure bottom, which has snap projections in two ring regions arranged at an axial distance from one another.
  • a jacket section of the closure is formed by a tear-open flap which is laterally delimited by weak points which originate from the free edge of the jacket.
  • the object of the present invention is to further develop a hinged closure consisting of an outer collar and a lid in such a way that in the first step it can be mounted without damage, with a container and in the second step it ensures easy handling in addition to tamper-evident protection.
  • the grip tab has predetermined breaking points connected to the lid on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the container as tamper-evident protection and that the lid is provided with a reinforcement in the area of the predetermined breaking points.
  • the hinged closure can be connected to the upper region of a container, for example a bottle, without damage, and after the tamper-evident device has been torn, the lid can be operated in a simple manner via the grip tab.
  • the reinforcement can be a web arranged on the inside of the lid, this web connecting two regions of the lid edge that are separated from one another by the grip tab.
  • a hinged closure 1 made of plastic which serves to close a container 2, in particular a bottle.
  • the closure 1 has an encircling outer collar 5 which can be stored in at least one beaded edge of the container 2 via at least one projection 10.
  • a cover 20 is provided, which is connected to the outer collar 5 via a hinge 15, which can be designed, for example, as a film hinge.
  • This lid 20 has a grip tab 22.
  • the lid 20 In the closed state, the lid 20 can be locked behind an encircling projection 26 of the outer collar 5 via an inside lid edge 24, for which purpose the lid inner edge has an edge region 24 ′ according to FIG.
  • the grip tab 22 has predetermined breaking points 28 running on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the container 2 and connected to the cover 20 as tamper-evident protection. It can also be seen from FIG. 4 that the cover 20 is provided with a reinforcement 30 in the area of the predetermined breaking points 28.
  • This reinforcement 30 can be designed as a web 32 arranged on the inside of the cover 20. In this case, the web 32 connects two regions A and B of the lid edge 24 which are separated from one another by the grip tabs 22.
  • the grip tab 22 is pivotally connected to the cover 20 via a film hinge 34, this film hinge 34 running over part of the circumference in the upper region of the cover 20 according to FIG. 4.
  • the circumferential outer collar 5 is connected via a ring region 36 to an inner collar 38 which projects beyond the outer collar 5 and serves as a guide for a locking ring 40 running on the inside of the cover 20.
  • the inner collar 38 is bevelled on the inside and the locking ring 40 is chamfered on the outside, so that the inner collar can be inserted easily 38 in the locking ring 20 results when the cover 20 according to FIG. 3 is transferred from the open position into the closed position according to FIG. 1 or according to FIG. 2.
  • the ring region 36 lies higher than the outer collar 5 and is connected to it via a side wall 42.
  • the side wall 42 has the aforementioned projection 26, in which the edge region 24 'of the cover 20 can be stored at least partially in the closed state according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the cover 20 has a plurality of radially extending ribs 44 on the inside, which are arranged between the cover wall 21 and the locking ring 40.
  • the hinged closure according to the invention is pressed onto the upper area of a container 2, for example a bottle, whereby the tamper-evident closure, i.e. the predetermined breaking points 28 are not damaged.
  • a container 2 for example a bottle
  • the tamper-evident closure i.e. the predetermined breaking points 28 are not damaged.
  • the container 2 is closed properly by the hinged closure 1. If the grip tab 22 is now moved by pivoting around the film hinge 34 from the position according to FIG. 1 into the position according to FIG. 2, the two predetermined breaking points 32 shown in FIG. 4 tear, after which the cover moves out of the position according to FIG. 2 the position of FIG. 3 can be transferred. Medium in the container 2 can now be poured out over the inner collar 38.
  • the cover 20 is moved from the position according to FIG. 3 into the position according to FIG. 2, the closure ring 40 of the cover 20 engaging on the inside of the inner collar 38 and thus the position according to FIG. 2 being reached.
  • the grip tab 22 can now be rotated counterclockwise around the film hinge 34, after which a bead 46 is embedded in the inside of the grip tab 22 in the projection 26 and thus securely secures the grip tab in the closed position.
  • the bead-like edge region 24 'of the cover 20 is stored in the circumferential projection 26, so that a perfect closure of the container 2 is guaranteed.
