Definitions
- This invention relates to a nozzle closure with hermetically sealed nozzle and cap for initial opening. It is about the first opening of the hermetically sealed nozzle, which is intended as a drinking spout or as a simple spout.
- EP 1 084 062 shows a closure of this basic type.
- this neck has the shape of a hollow wedge with slightly cambered wedge surfaces. At the front edge, at which the wedge surfaces converge, so that a closed lip is formed, wherein each leaking wedge surface or leading edge of this wedge surface forms one of the two lip portions.
- These two lip parts are initially connected in one piece via a thin point.
- the whole neck is made of elastically deformable material, preferably made of rubber-elastic material, for example, a low density polyethylene (LDPE).
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- This neck is closed by a cap of rigid material, for example, a polypropylene.
- the cap is slipped over the neck and includes the same full. To remove it must be turned counterclockwise as seen from above, wherein the rotation of the cap and the uppermost part of the wedge-shaped nozzle is twisted, whereby the lip is to be opened. Practice shows that this opening is not reliable and satisfactory. Furthermore, such a closure of nozzle and associated cap has been consistently in two made of separate parts, that is, the nozzle is the one injection molding and the associated cap the other. This requires a complex assembly, which is correspondingly expensive.
- a nozzle closure with hermetically sealed nozzle and cover cap for opening consisting of a wedge-shaped hollow neck formed at the front edge of the wedge by the two converging wedge surfaces lip portions which are integrally connected via a thin point to a closed lip , and an over this wedge-shaped nozzle inverted lid cap, characterized in that in the slipped state of the lid cap by the inner shape of the lid cap, the front portion of the wedge-shaped neck seen from above is rotated clockwise at least 5 ° held to its relaxed normal position, and that when turning the lid cap from this closing position seen from above in a counterclockwise direction, the front wedge edge portion of the neck of on the inside of the lid cap protruding pressure surfaces only at diagonally opposite locations on this vorde Ren wedge edge region are acted upon, and the remaining areas near the edges within the lid cap a free space opposite.

- Figure 30 Various containers and bark, for which the nozzle closure is suitable.
- FIG. 31 A second guarantee device as first opening guarantee.
- FIG 1 the entire nozzle closure 1 is seen with the hermetically sealed nozzle and the lid cap mounted above 3 in a view from the side.
- the lid cap 3 from the side and one of the two handle ears 46 faces the viewer.
- These grip ears 46 facilitate the rotation of the cover cap 3 also against resistance.
- Below the base 42 can be seen, on which the nozzle is inside the lid cap 3 and on which the lid cap 3 rests.
- Arrows on the outside of the cover cap 1 indicate in which direction the cover cap 1 is to be opened, that is, seen from above, in the counterclockwise direction.
- a recess 44 which serves to receive a cam 23 on the neck.
- On the opposite side of the cover cap 1, such a cam 23 can be seen.
- This recess is bounded above by an arcuate edge 45. Further, one recognizes the outside of a sliding groove 43 at the lower edge of the cover cap. When slipping over the cover cap 1, the cams 23 on the inside of the cover cap 1 slide upwards through this sliding groove 43, and then upon release of the cover cap by the adjacent sliding groove 47.
- FIG. 4 shows the neck closure on the stand-up pouch with the lid cap lifted away.
- the two lip parts of the neck are closed by a thin spot.
- the xx-axis 8 along which the lip of the nozzle extends, with the z-z axis 4 is parallel, while the yy-axis 5 on the cap 3 an angle of about 5 ° includes these axes.
- the inside of the lid cap is shaped and designed so that when turning the lid cap from the closed position seen from above in the counterclockwise direction of the front wedge edge portion of the neck of the inside of the lid cap protruding pressure surfaces are acted upon only diagonally opposite points at this front wedge edge region , and the remaining areas near the edge within the lid cap are opposite to a free space. This measure proves to be cardinal for the reliable opening of the lip. Only when these features are present, the lip opens by the thin spot breaks.
- FIG. 5 shows the opening of the lip on the nozzle in three phases. First, when the lid cap is rotated counterclockwise, the nozzle at the two regions 6 is pushed aside or rotated, as shown in FIG. 7a. Towards the outside, these pressing surfaces 6 are designed to taper towards the ends of the lip.
- the thin spot Upon further rotation of the lid cap as indicated by the arrows, the thin spot initially ruptures at its two ends, as shown in Figure 7b, and each of the pressing surface 6 opposite lip portion forms an outwardly arc curved 10.
- the thin spot For this purpose must within the lid cap 3rd the inside by a corresponding offset surface 7 be designed so that the necessary space is created, which is very important.
- the thin spot continues to tear until finally the lip is completely opened, that is to say to the end points 9 of the thin spot, as shown in FIG. 7c.
- FIG 8 shows a schematic representation of the interior design of the cover cap with the active surfaces of the over-pushed lid cap and the active surfaces during the rotation of the cover cap during ⁇ ffhungsvorgang.
- Ih Figure 9 is a nozzle shown in cross-section, which can bematillbar on a container neck, since it is made of an elastic, soft material. For bouncing, it has a shoulder 17, and on the inside of the adjoining the shoulder 17, downwardly projecting edge a bead 18 with which the nozzle can be aufprellbar on a container neck. At the lower end of the actual nozzle 16, a sealing ring 19 is formed. As a special feature, the thin spot 14 of this neck 16 is recessed in the wedge edge, so that a slot 13 is formed above this thin spot 14. This thin spot 14 is torn open by means of a ⁇ ffhungsattes 12 formed on the inside of the lid, as can be seen with reference to FIG 10. FIG.
- FIG 11 shows the tip of the neck in longitudinal section with its thin spot 14 and with the associated cover cap with the opening sword 12.
- the tip of the nozzle and the ⁇ ffsungsatt seen from above, and the ⁇ ffhungsvorgang is shown in three phases a, b and c of the rotational movement of the cover cap.
- the opening sword thus rotates in the slot 13 above the thin spot 14, which is torn open as shown in the drawings.
- On the actual thin spot act at the point 15 forces which press away the two lip parts from each other, but also shear forces which move the lip parts in the longitudinal direction against each other.
- the length of the opening sword 12 engaging above the thin point between the lips is between 1/3 and 2/3 of the length of the thin spot 14 in the lip, this opening sword being centered with its length opposite the thin spot length.
- a nozzle with cover cap is shown in a longitudinal section and next enlarged shown the elements for Roufmungsgarantie. These are a latching element 20, which is formed on the small material bridges 24 on the underside of the lid cap. The mating fit counterpart 21 is formed on the shoulder of the nozzle.
- a latching element 20 which is formed on the small material bridges 24 on the underside of the lid cap.
- the mating fit counterpart 21 is formed on the shoulder of the nozzle.
- FIG. 16 shows the connecting piece according to FIG. 13 in a perspective representation and FIG. 17 the associated cover cap.
- the spring element 22 can be seen, which projects into the recess 44, which is intended to receive the cam 23 when the cover cap is slipped over the neck.
- the cams 23 slide through the sliding grooves 43 and when removing the cover cap by the adjacent slide grooves 47.
- both the nozzle and the lid cap are molded from the same, elastic and soft material and are with connected to a cross-sectionally U-shaped hinge band 28, which is provided at the end with a gripping tab 29.
- the nozzle is formed on a cover cap 26 which has an internal thread 25. Outside of the neck can be seen a threaded rib, which cooperates with a threaded rib 31 on the inside of the lid cap, so that the cap when loosening from the nozzle is slightly raised.
- the position shown in FIG. 18 is the spray position.
- the lid cap After spraying, the lid cap is swung onto the nozzle and slipped over it. To open the closure - the lip of the nozzle is indeed closed, first the hinge tape is torn away and afterwards the lid cap can be rotated relative to the nozzle, causing the tearing of the thin spot in the lip.
- This neck closure is shown in Figure 18 seen from above. Here you can see that the direction of the upper edge of the lid cap is at an acute angle to the direction of the lip on the nozzle.
- the hinge band is connected via thin points 32,33 with the lid cap and the neck, so it is wegreiissbar by gripping the grip tab 29 of these parts.
- this neck closure according to FIG. 18 is shown in the closed state when viewed from the rear, where the thin spots 32, 33 on both sides of the hinge band 28 and the grip tab 29 are recognized.
- FIG. 21 the neck closure in the swung-on state of the cover cap is shown in a perspective view.
- Figure 22 shows a nozzle closure in another variant, in which the lid cap is integrally connected via a separable hinge with the neck.
- the hinge strip on a becomes a becomestrissbaren middle part 38, which is connected on both sides only a thin point or a number of fine material bridges with the outer hinge parts.
- FIG. 23 where the neck closure is shown from above.
- the hinge strip is formed on the neck and on the lid cap.
- the middle part 38 is held only by fine material bridges 36 and can therefore be torn out of the hinge strap by tearing on the grip tabs. ⁇ Also here you can see the different directions of extension on the one hand the upper lid cap edge and the lip on the neck.
- Threaded ribs 38, 40 are present on both parts, which come into action when the threaded cap, which has previously been pushed onto the neck, loosens.
- Figure 24 shows this neck closure in the closed state seen from behind and the figure 25 shows him in swung-open state of the lid cap in a perspective view.
- the neck closure can thereby be made in one piece by the lid cap and the socket base is made via a separable or tear-open hinge hinge as a piece of polypropylene, while the nozzle made of low density polyethylene LDPE is injected in a second injection component to the nozzle base.
- FIG. 26 shows a neck closure with securing device for the cover cap with the cover cap attached in one
- the base of the nozzle is therefore designed as a cap, with internal thread or with réellew ⁇ lst for screwing or
- FIG. 27 shows this neck closure with the lid cap lifted away.
- FIG. 28 shows a neck closure with securing device for the cover when the cover is attached in an application as a pin closure for a container or bottle neck. The nozzle sits on a base, which is designed as a hollow pin or nipple at the bottom, so that it can be plugged into a socket.
- FIG. 29 shows this neck closure with the lid cap lifted away.
- FIG. 30 further shows which different containers and containers can be equipped with them.
- barrier flaps 48 are integrally formed on the cover cap 3, which protrude into the recess 44. At the root of each barrier flap 48 it is connected via a thin spot 50 with the edge of the recess 44 and connected at its opposite end via a material bridge acting as a predetermined breaking point 49 with the local edge of the recess 44.
- the cams 23 act on the spout nozzle on these locking flaps 48, whereby the material bridges break and the locking flaps 48 are pivoted downwards.
- the cover cap 3 can continue to turn and then remove.
