Definitions

  • This invention relates to a plastic closure having a drinking or pouring spout and a foil dosing device which provides a tamper evidence and also serves to open a foil-sealed container or spout fitted with this closure without affecting the actual drinking water. or to touch the spout nozzle with your fingers.
  • This closure is suitable for containers of all kinds, especially those made of plastic, composite board, glass, but also for tubes or other containers made of a combination of the aforementioned materials. It is especially suitable for contents of liquid or pasty consistency.
  • plastic closures with a drinking or spout nozzle which are commonly known as sports closures. They usually consist of a closure bottom, which is screwed onto a threaded connector, and a hinged thereto molded cap. In the center of the closure base, a drinking and pouring spigot is attached, which is axially displaceable for opening and closing.
  • a closure bottom which is screwed onto a threaded connector, and a hinged thereto molded cap.
  • a drinking and pouring spigot is attached, which is axially displaceable for opening and closing.
  • the sealing film on the container neck can be torn away and then the closure is screwed back onto the container, after which the cap is removed or unfolded and the drinking or pouring spout releases.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure with drinking and pouring spout, which offers a Clearöfmungsgarantie with which the sealing film of a container or container equipped with it can be opened without the actual drinking or Discharge nozzle must be touched with your fingers and without the entire closure of the container must be removed.
  • this closure should be made in one piece, ie in a single injection.
  • a plastic closure with drinking or pouring spout and Folienstech device consisting of a closure bottom part, which forms a drinking and spout nozzle, and a closure cap, which is connected via a hinge pivotally connected to the closure bottom is distinguished, and characterized in that the drinking and pouring spout sits in a flat disc on which the hinge of the cap is formed, that below the disc of the drinking and pouring spout is enclosed by a deformable wall, the forms an inwardly curved cone or an outwardly domed dome, and which wall of the nozzle leads obliquely downwards and is connected to the outer edge of the closure base, wherein the drinking and pouring nozzle projects beyond this deformable wall on the underside and its lower Edge forms at least two piercing elements, and that at the bottom of the cap a Distance tape is integrally formed over one or more acting as Sollbrrachstellen material bridges, wherein the spacer strip in the closed state of the closure cap surrounds the deformable
  • FIG. 1 A closure with a closed cap with an integrated cap
  • FIG. 2 The closure according to FIG. 1 with the closure cap opened and the drinking and pouring spout opened;
  • FIG. 3 The cap after spraying with swiveled cap
  • FIG. 4 The closure after removal of the spacer strip in a cross-section, when the closure cap is pressed down;
  • FIG. 5 seen the closure of Figures 1 and 2 in a view obliquely from below;
  • FIG. 6 The closure according to Figures 1 and 2 seen in a view obliquely from below, with a different angle;
  • FIG. 7 The closure before opening for the first time with the spacer strip intact and the closing cap closed, in a view from the rear, looking at the hinge of the closure cap;
  • FIG. 8 A closure according to Figures 1 and 2 in cross section, screwed onto a closed with a foil container neck in the lower, depressed position of the drinking nozzle.
  • FIG. 9 Such a closure in cross-section, which is bounced on a sealed with a foil container neck
  • FIG. 11 Such a closure in cross-section, which is welded over the foiienverêteite hole of a composite package; FIG. 11 Various containers and packages on which such a closure can be mounted.
  • FIG. 1 shows the closure 1 in the view from the side. It can be seen in turn from top first the closure cap 2, at the lower edge of which a spacer strip 5 is formed over some material bridges 14 intended to act as predetermined breaking points. This also acts as a spacer tape and is on the closure part 4, so that therefore the cap 2 can not be folded down or pressed down. At the bottom of the closure, a further spacer band 6 is formed over the material bridges 15. A lip 16 on the cap 2 helps to fold this up to open. On the other side of the cap you can see the hinge 21, via which the cap is connected to the upper edge with a disc not visible here, which is located at the height of the upper edge of the spacer strip.
  • the closure bottom forms here a threaded cap, which is screwed onto the threaded connector to a container. So that it can be unscrewed from this if necessary, it is externally provided with ribs 3.
  • the spacer strip 5 forms in the vicinity of the hinge 21 a tab with ribs 1.1, on which it can be taken to tear away.
  • FIG. 2 shows the closure with the closure cap 2 unfolded.
  • the spacer strip 5 is integrally formed on the lower edge of the closure cap 2.
  • a ring 25 which is inverted when closing the cap 2 on the drinking and pouring spout 13 and then encloses it at the top.
  • This drinking and pouring spout 13 is here arranged centrally in a flat disc 7, with which the closure cap 2 is connected via the hinge 21. Outside on this. plane disc 7 latching elements 12 are formed.
  • the disk 7 with the enclosed by her drinking and pouring spout 7 can be pressed axially downwards, after which the latching elements 12 snap on matching snap elements on the closure part 4 and the disc 7 together with the drinking and pouring spout 13 in this lowered position hold or arrest.
  • the drinking and pouring spout 13 has at the upper edge on the outside a bead 10. This is positively enclosed by the ring 25 on the inside of the cap 2, when the cap 2 is pivoted down to the neck. In the clear opening 9 of the drinking and pouring spout 13 is a star-shaped reinforcement 31 molded. If the closure cap 2 is pivoted from the position shown here onto the closure bottom part 4, then the ring 25 snaps over the upper edge of the drinking and pouring spout 13 and holds the cap 2 down. Then the closure is shown as shown in FIG.
  • Figure 3 shows the closure in this position again, but in a different angle, so you can see the area below the flat disc 7.
  • a deformable wall 8 which forms a kind of vault or dome here, that is, the wall is curved outward and extends obliquely down and is at her lower end connected to the upper edge of the closure part 4.
  • This wall 8 may also form a cone with inwardly curved wall or a bellows.
  • the closure is shown in perspective seen from below. At the back of the closure you can see the hinge 21. In the center of the closure can be seen the drinking and pouring spout 13 with the piercing elements 22 at its lower edge.
  • the spout 13 is enclosed from below by the deformable wall 8. This forms here the underside of a vaulted raise. It is also provided with areas 17,18 which form bulges up or down, and facilitate the deformation of the wall 8 during depression of the nozzle 13 by the cap 2. In the example shown, S-shaped ribs 19 are still formed.
  • FIG. 7 shows the closed closure seen from the rear. You can see the hinge 21, the closed cap 2 and at its lower edge then the spacer strip 5, which acts as a spacer by rising with its lower edge on the lower closure part 4 and prevents the depression of the cap 2 on the closure part 4. For depressing this spacer band 5 must first be removed. For this purpose, it can be taken on the tab with the ribs 11 and be torn off under breakage of the various fine material bridges from the lower edge of the cap 2.
  • FIG. 8 shows a cross section through such a closure after the depression of the cap 2.
  • the drinking and pouring spout 13 was depressed and its lower, equipped with lancing elements 22 edge has the sealing film 26, which closed the container neck 23, torn open.
  • the disk 7 latched on the bottom of the closure 4 and now holds the drinking and pouring spout 13 in this position, even if the cap 2 is swung open.
  • the spacer strip 5 is no longer visible because it was previously demolished.
  • the closure bottom is designed as a threaded cap with internal thread 27.
  • Figure 9 shows a very similar closure, with the only difference that here the closure base is not designed as a threaded cap, but as Aufpresskappe with a circumferential in-lying bead 29, with which it is aufbrellbar to a correspondingly shaped container neck.
  • An existing between the closure and the container edge film can be glued on both sides or welded with induction heat.
  • Figure 10 shows a again similar closure, the closure bottom is formed in a flange 28, with which the closure over the foil-sealed hole of a container, for example, a carton pack is glued or welded.
  • FIG 11 finally some different types of containers are shown, which can be equipped with such a closure, namely a bottle made of plastic, namely a PET bottle, or such of sheet metal or glass, then a composite cardboard in any form, for example a round or cylindrical composite package or a brick composite package. But it is also suitable for a closed with a plastic lid with sealing foil cardboard cup or for a tube.
