- Sealed sealing film wherein the external thread of the such a sealed neck is screwed onto a female thread having an internal thread having screw cap and unscrewed at a selected later date again.
- the invention further relates to a screw cap for carrying out this method.
- Plastic bottles made of, for example, polyethylene (PE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are generally used aluminum foils, on its sealing side a coating with z.
- PE polyethylene
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- This object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned according to a first embodiment of the invention in that when unscrewing the screw cap from the neck, the sealing film from the outer periphery of the edge of the neck forth radially inwardly towards the central axis progressively- through the screw at least partially is released and then lifted off the edge.
- the process of unscrewing the screw cap thus includes according to the invention, the release of the sealing film from the edge of the vessel or the bottle and possibly also the subsequent storage of the sealing film in the screw cap, which can be screwed on and unscrewed as often as usual, again until the container contents are exhausted by respective removal. Separate release of the sealing film by hand has become unnecessary.
- Reinforced plate is inserted into the screw cap and pressed in the subsequent screwing with the adhesive against the sealed at the edge of the neck sealing film, wherein after completion of screwing a surface bonding of the reinforcing plate is carried out with the sealing film.
- a surface bonding of the reinforcing plate is carried out with the sealing film.
- thermoplastic adhesive it is preferable to use induction welding for bonding the stiffening plate to the sealing film by using a thermoplastic adhesive as the adhesive.
- an adhesive for example, PE, PET, polyester or polystyrene or of a combination of these substances can be used as the adhesive on the surface of the stiffening plate facing the sealing film.

- each a groove 25 to adapt to the rounding of the edge 11 of the neck 3 shown follows, and on the other hand, that the are adjacent to the cutting edges 16 on the side facing away from the neck 3 subsequent areas of the cutting blade 15 are rounded.
- the separating blades thus have, so to speak, in their areas adjacent to the cutting edges 16, a bend which favors the penetration of the cutting edges 16.
- the separating blades 15 have cut through the sealing surface 12 upon reaching the position shown in FIG. 9 and the sealing film 14 with the reinforcing plate 22 completely detached. Since the cut-off blades 15 endeavor to return to their original positions, which they held before screwing the screw cap 7 on the neck 3, finally results in FIG.
- FIGS. A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. In this case, identical parts have been provided with the same reference numerals with the first embodiment.
- this is a method for at least partially detaching or separating a, on a circular sealing surface 12 owning edge
- a sealing film 14 ' is expediently used, which has at least partially embossments or perforations 28 within the clear width W of the neck 3 in the circumferential direction, which are designed as predetermined breaking points, wherein the bonding or welding of the inner surface 21 of the cover portions 8' with the surface of the Sealing film 14 'by means of the intermediate layer 25 only in the area of the embossments or perforations 28 circumscribed surface 32 is made.
- embossments or perforations reduce the force required for tearing open the sealing film 14 'when unscrewing the screw cap 7' considerably.
- a sealing film 14 ' is in this embodiment a plate 31 ( Figure 15) constructed of two layers 26 and 27, wherein the layer 26 facing the inner surface 21 of the lid portion 8 'is made of PE, PET or aluminum and the neck 3 facing layer 27 of PE, PET or sealing wax or a combination of these substances.
- the perforation (28) is circumferentially circular.
- a screw cap 7 ' for carrying out the described method according to this second embodiment, again in particular made of plastic, with a cover portion 8' and a female thread 6 having sleeve portion 9 '' with a screw-10, for screwing on and unscrewing an external thread. 4 of an edge 11 having neck 3 of a bottle 1 od.
- the lid portion 8 ' has the lid portion 8 'a reverse anvil-like, the inner surface 21 having, inner, tabular, projection 32, such that when screwing the screw cap 1' on the neck 3 of the Container 1 or the like.
- the thread pitch and the thread pairing 4, 6 dimensioned such that the stroke of the screw cap 7, 70 relative to the neck 3 is about 9mm per revolution of the screw cap 7, 70 by 360 degrees.
- the training can be made so that the internal thread 6 is three-speed.
- FIG. 16 shows a further embodiment of the invention with a screw cap 70.
- the imaginary circumference of the circumference of the periphery (11) of the neck (3) is formed, such that the Abtrennmesser 15 and the Abtrennmesser solve the sealing surface 12 in any case completely.
- this is by no means always necessary, but it may also be sufficient if the sealing surface 12 is not completely detached, ie the cutting edge (s) 19 does not penetrate so far, but only up to said imaginary circle in the region of the sealing surface 12 the edge 11 of the neck 3, in which case the complete detachment of the sealing film 14, 14 'by means of their peeling by lifting the screw cap 7 with the then under the edge of the sealing film 14, 14' lying separating blade 15 and then under the edge the sealing film 14, 14 'lying separating blades takes place.
- the screw cap 70 is or the separating blade 15 and the separating blade on the inner circumference 9 'of the sleeve portion 9 above the internal thread ⁇ arranged to the lid portion 8 and the thread of this internal thread 6 has interruptions 71 which u with respect to their width in the circumferential direction of the inner circumference 9 'of the width of the severing blade 15 and the Abtrennmesser are substantially equal or slightly wider, such that when removing the screw cap 70 upwards from the respective mold (not shown) the Abtrennmesser 15 and the Abtrennmesser down can be pushed into these interruptions 71 and find themselves in the same place at short notice, until they emerge from the mold and become free.
- This embodiment with the interruptions 71 allows a considerable saving in height of the screw cap 70 and thus plastic material, since the Abtrennmesser 15 can be arranged closer to the internal thread 6, and at the same time avoids problems with the removal of the screw cap 70 from their form, in particular has been injection-molded in the preferred use of plastic.
- the interruptions 71 the height of a screw cap must be necessarily greater, because when removing the same from the mold, the separating blade 15 once inevitably fold down and need to find space without the interruptions 71 completely above the threads.
- the severing blade 15 and the severing blades each have (s) free end (s) having the cutting edge (s), the seal (s) between the sealing film 14 and the sealing surface 12 upon engagement with the sealing surface 12
- Edge 11 a curvature or buckling on the edge 11 to have or have (particularly clear from Figs. 3 and 6 refer). This favors the penetration of the cutting edge (s) 19 between the sealing film 14 and the edge 11, not only when the sealing foil 14, which is expediently made of aluminum and / or plastic, has a circumferential region 13 projecting radially beyond the edge 11 of the neck 3.
- the screw cap 70 can still on the inside of the lid portion 8 between at least one concentrically encircling, here relatively short, d. H. a low height, Anyaklippe 23 and the inner wall 9 'of the sleeve portion 9 have a circumferential counter-pressure lip 72 (Fig. 16), which presses when screwing the screw cap on the neck 3 against the sealing film 14 and is suitable when unscrewing the screw through their restoring force the edge of the sealing film 14 against the pressure of the ends of the or the Abtrennmesser 15 are supported, such that these ends better under the peripheral portion 13 of the sealing film 14 slide and can penetrate into the sealing surface 12.
- this peripheral region 13 does not necessarily have to survive beyond the edge 11 of the neck 3. He also does not necessarily have a non-glued or not sealed peripheral edge to a proper grip from the cutting edge (s) 19 of the or the Abtrennmesser (s) 15 to ensure.
- the relevant respective embodiment according to the invention is dependent on the parameters given in each case, of which only the material of the screw cap itself, the material of the sealing film 14, the material of the binder used and the elasticity of the or the separating blade (s) called should be.
- the screw cap 70 for example, no reinforcing plate 22 is used for a sealing film 14 which may be necessary for this, as described in the preceding embodiments, for which reason the counterpressure lip 72 is advantageous here.
- the pressure lip 23 As a bottle 1 after the sealing film 14 has been lifted and the bottle after each unscrewing the screw cap 7, 1 'or 70 and the removal of a subset is screwed back to close the bottle tight again.
