Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure / pouring combination with tamper-evident according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Locking / pouring combinations with tamper evidence are known.
  • a tamper-evident ring is formed on the peripheral wall of a closure cap via tear-off webs, which has engagement means which can engage with the rear engagement means on the neck region of a container in blocking engagement with the container neck region.
  • the tamper-evident ring in some known closure / container combinations represents an axial extension of the peripheral wall of the cap, cf. DE-A-1955047 , In other known arrangements, the tamper evident ring projects beyond the radial dimensions of the cap peripheral wall.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the handling of such a combination by means of devices for automatically applying the closure cap part on the pouring part while simplifying the design of the pouring part.
  • the inventive closure / pouring combination without a tear-off tamper evident by the originality function is integrated into the peripheral wall of the closure cap part, ie it is recessed therein a limited peripheral wall area which can be separated under a certain force acting thereon from the rest of the peripheral wall, whereby a mutual blocking relationship between the peripheral wall portion and the spout is lifted and the closure cap portion can be removed as a conventional cap from the spout.
  • the recessed peripheral wall portion is, aesthetically advantageous, in the plane of the cap peripheral wall and is for this reason in the manufacture of the cap member or during its transport not exposed to special forces that can cause premature separation of the peripheral wall portion of the rest of the cap peripheral wall.
  • the invention provides a Deutschengreifbund on Ausgiessteil before, with the a preferably flat projection on the closure cap part can interlock in locking engagement. As a result, it is no longer necessary to align the mutual rear engagement means not only axially, but also circumferentially with respect to one another, since the projection can enter into a locking relationship with the rear engagement collar at each circumferential location.
  • the invention allows the production of the cap part as well as pouring parts in an economical manner by injection molding using suitable plastics, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc., the demolding of the cap part prepares no problems unlike those with tamper evident ring.
  • a two-part stabilization arrangement can be provided in order to hold the recessed peripheral wall area in a predetermined position with respect to the peripheral wall of the cap during assembly and thereby prevent damage to the bars during initial installation.
  • top and bottom refer to the position of the components of the closure / pouring combination shown in the drawing.
  • the closure cap part of the closure / pouring combination carries the general reference numeral 1 and the pouring part the reference numeral 2.
  • the pouring part 2 may be the mouth neck of a container or welding part or a separate molding.
  • the spout part 2 has a substantially tubular configuration with a through passage 3 defining an access opening through which access to the interior of a container is possible.
  • a screw thread 4 is provided, which can cooperate with a complementary screw thread 5 on the inside of a cap peripheral wall 6 of the closure cap part 1, so that the closure cap part 1 can be screwed onto the pouring part 2, wherein in the course of this process the access opening the through passage 3 is closed.
  • the screw thread 5 may have continuous or, as shown, interrupted threads.
  • a rear gripping collar 7 protrudes radially outwards at a point which is matched to the axial position of a recess 8 in the cap peripheral wall 6 of the closure cap part 1, so that a region of the rear gripping collar 7 is screwed completely onto the spout part 2 Cap portion 1 is exposed on the recess 8, as shown in Fig. 4 is shown.
  • the rear gripping collar 7 has a radially or approximately radially aligned under gripping surface 9, with which a projection 10 on a recessed in the cap peripheral wall 6 of the cap part 1 peripheral wall portion 11 can engage to prevent rotation of the cap member 1 in the unscrewing.
  • the peripheral wall region 11 comprises in the circumferential or screw-on direction forward or trailing Querschittsver Plantnte sections 12, 13, which are formed as webs, via which the peripheral wall portion 11 is connected to the adjacent areas of the cap peripheral wall 6. Further, the peripheral wall portion 11 has a lower edge 14, the a continuation of the peripheral edge 15 of the cap peripheral wall 6 can represent. As an alternative to this, the lower edge 14 could also lie within the peripheral wall 6 of the cap.
  • One of the webs 12, 13, namely the leading edge 12 in the screwing direction is designed so that it can break under a certain force acting thereon, whereby the peripheral wall portion 11 at this point loses its connection with the cap peripheral wall 6 and the blocking effect of the intervention between the Deutschengreifbund 7 on spout 2 and the cap-side projection 10 is lost. If desired, other such webs 12 may be provided.
  • the other web 13 at the trailing end of the peripheral wall portion 11, however, may be designed so that it occurs under the normal use Forces does not rupture, so that the peripheral wall portion 11 remains connected at its trailing end with the cap peripheral wall 6.
  • the peripheral wall portion 11 can be bent outwardly around the web 13 to facilitate the release of the projection 10 from the rear gripping collar 7 when the connection has been severed at the web 12.
  • the peripheral wall portion 11 has in the view after Fig. 1 preferably a substantially rectangular shape. It is bounded at its lower axial end by the lower edge 14 and at its upper axial end by an upper edge 16 which, like the lower edge 14, extends in the circumferential direction. At the upper edge 16 of the projection 10 is formed via a thin point or cross-sectional constriction 17, which allows the projection 10 on the one hand under a force exerted by the Schugreifbund 7 on it, upward axial force can yield to the outside resiliently, so that the projection 10 the Hintergreifbund 7 can happen when unscrewing the cap member 1, without the web 12 breaks.
  • the cross-sectional constriction 17 is sufficiently rigid that the projection 10 can adopt and maintain an interengaging relationship with the undercut surface 9 of the collar 7 without being folded over when subjected to an axial force in the reverse direction.
  • the projection 10 preferably has a circumferential extent which corresponds to that of the upper edge 16 of the peripheral wall portion 11 or, if desired, may also be shorter than this.
  • the projection 10 On its upper side, the projection 10 has a region 18 near its free outer end, which may be flattened or extends parallel to the undercut surface 9 of the collar 7 in order to be able to come into planar contact therewith.
  • the bottom 19 of the projection 10 forms a sliding surface, the Passing the projection 10 along the Schugreifbundes 7 when unscrewing the cap member 1 on the pouring part 2 facilitates by the bottom 19 extends in the rest position of the projection 10 obliquely upwards and inwardly inclined.
  • a circumferentially extending stabilizer bar 20 may be formed which may engage a complementary elongated groove or ledge on a tensioning tool of an automatic unscrewing device (not shown) to engage the peripheral wall portion 11 Screw on radially support, so that it does not make excessive radial movement to the outside in this process, which could cause premature cracking of the web 12.
  • Other such stabilizing agents may also be provided.
  • FIG. 3 shows a pair of peripheral wall portions 11 with projections 10 in diametrical relation to each other. Further, in addition to the non-rippling trailing ridge 13 at a parallel distance to another web near the top edge 16 may be provided, as in Fig. 1 indicated at 21. The web 21 also serves to stabilize the peripheral wall portion 11th
  • the peripheral wall portion 11 integrated in the cap peripheral wall 6 of the cap member 1 forms a tamper evidence which gives the user an indication that no manipulations have been made on the cap member 1 as long as the connection between the peripheral wall portion 11 and the cap peripheral wall 6 is intact.
  • the invention is not limited to such mounting method. It could also be a plug-in assembly provided by so-called. Bouncing. If desired, the projection and / or the peripheral wall region carrying it can be formed so flat that, when viewed from the side, the recess in the peripheral wall of the cap is quasi filled in order to further improve the aesthetic appearance of the closure cap part.
