Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package with a closure portion having a fixedly connected to the packaging lid and a cover spanning and mounted against the lid cap, both the lid and the cap each having a spout opening, which can be brought into alignment and the closure cap has a closing region which can be brought into alignment with the pouring opening, the pouring opening being in the cover by a sealing element which can be brought into an at least partially open state of the sealing element for emptying the packaging, and the sealing element is cap-shaped relative to the packaging is curved to the outside and has at least one radially outwardly projecting flange.
  • a packaging of this kind is from the DE 197 06 112 C2 known.
  • this known packaging which is described in particular as a beverage can, there is the problem that after filling this can and after the Aufbördein the lid, the liquid filled in the can between the lid and the cap can pass, because the opening in the lid before the application of the cap is not closed.
  • Other problems of the known packaging consist in the almost impossible cleaning of soiled lid before applying the cap without contamination of the packaged goods with detergent or dirt, and the very difficult execution of an understandable for the end user originality closure - especially without additional components.
  • Such packages are particularly suitable for free-flowing or flowable products.
  • beverage cans of the type mentioned are especially in the US 5,692,633 A , of the DE 201 14 741 U1 , of the WO 02/18225 A1 , of the US 3,726,432 A , of the DE 297 12 852 U1 , of the DE 298 12 936 U1 , of the EP 0 340 835 A , of the WO 02/18225 A and the disclosing the preamble of claim 1 WO 2007/054568 A1 described.
  • the object of the invention is to design the packaging so that after filling the packaging and applying the lid and the subsequent application of the cap, the filled product can not get between the lid and cap. Further objects of the invention are a secure closing of the lid already at the time of cleaning after the filling of the packaging, as well as the production of a tamper-evident closure.
  • the sealing element is elastic. This allows deformation due to overpressure in the package or as a result of an applied bias in the connection of the cap and lid.
  • the elastic sealing element can then - if it gets under an opening in the cap - hineineruiten into this opening. This makes it easier to grip the sealing element or act with the cap on the sealing element.
  • the invention also has an advantageous effect, in particular, since no product particles are present between the lid and the closure cap which could lead to a disturbance in the mobility of the closure cap.
  • the convex configuration proves to be particularly advantageous if a handle for opening the sealing element is provided, it is advantageous if the handle is firmly connected to the sealing element or integrated in the closure cap. After twisting the cap in the open position pushes namely the outwardly curved cap through the spout opening in the cap to the outside, whereby the handle for opening the sealing element can be easily detected.
  • the lid connected to the packaging may have any shape. It is important that the shape is chosen so that a cap can be moved relative to the lid.
  • an elongated lid is provided in which the closure cap is displaced laterally relative to the lid.
  • the lid connected to the packaging is circular. This allows the cap to rotate relative to the lid to expose or seal the spout opening.
  • the cap is rotatably mounted.
  • the cap can be attached with grippers on the lid. For this purpose, individual webs are sufficient to arrange the functions of the cap there. However, it is advantageous if the closure region has a closure cap spanning the entire cover. This will give a special stability reaches the cap and there are a variety of ways to form the cap, to arrange a variety of functions there.
  • both the lid and the closure cap each have an eccentric spout opening.
  • the spout opening of the lid is associated with a sealing area surrounding the spout opening.
  • the closing area of the closure cap is assigned a sealing area which surrounds the closing area.
  • This sealing region can be arranged both on the cover and on the closure cap, it can lie between the lid and the closure cap or can also be formed in one piece with the lid and / or closure cap.
  • the sealing region has a seal.
  • seals are to be understood as a seal in the present case, but a seal is also understood to mean a specially designed region of the cover or the closure cap, which causes a special sealing effect.
  • a particular embodiment provides that an effective between the lid and the cap lifting device is provided, which causes a reversal of the sealing effect of a sealing area between the lid and cap during rotation of the cap.
  • the transfer of the sealing element in an at least partially open state is facilitated if the sealing element has a predetermined breaking point.
  • This can be designed so that the sealing element is only partially opened, or the predetermined breaking point can also allow a complete opening of the sealing element.
  • a predetermined breaking point is also advantageous if the handle is integrated in the closure cap and in particular is designed as a shape of the closure cap and engages with the sealing element during rotation thereof.
  • the sealing element can already be transferred into an at least partially open state during rotation of the closure cap.
  • the handle can also be held as a punching tool in the cap movable.
  • the punching tool is to be pressed down into the open position after the closure cap has been rotated, as a result of which the sealing element is partially or completely severed depending on the design of the cutting edge of the punching tool.
  • the sealing element may be fixable with a flange on the inside or on the outside.
  • An advantageous embodiment also results from the fact that the edge region of the opening is received in the lid between two flanges of the sealing element.
  • This embodiment is advantageous because on the one hand, the sealing element can be particularly firmly arranged on the lid and also in this embodiment, the upper of the two flanges in the closed position of the closure cap the same surround as a seal.
  • This type of seal training has the advantage that here too an intimate connection between the seal and the lid can be produced.
  • the closure cap in the closing region has a recess for at least partially receiving the sealing element, this has an advantage, in particular, when the sealing element is curved in the shape of a cap to the outside. In this at least partially received position of the sealing element in a recess of the closure cap, the sealing element can be destroyed during rotation of the cap particularly easy for opening.
  • the closure cap may be made of such a material that it is advantageous to form both the spout opening and the seal surrounding the closing area in one piece with the closure cap.
  • both the spout opening and the sealing area surrounding the seal is attached to the closure cap. It is particularly advantageous if the seals are partially embedded in recesses of the cap.
  • sealing element remains connected in the open state with the lid, because this avoids that the separated Sealing part is distributed with the contents of the package, which would be particularly disadvantageous in beverage cans when drinking directly from the can.
  • the sealing element after opening protrudes into the packaging with bias, so that it can not interfere with the emptying of the packaging.
  • the sealing element engage with grippers fastened to the closure cap.
  • the grippers may seize the sealing element or at least a portion of the sealing element prior to its separation while holding the separation and preferably even retain it after its separation.
  • sealing element is locked after opening with the closure cap.
  • the sealing element or the separated part of the sealing element firmly hangs on the closure cap, where it is lifted as far as possible captive.
  • the lifting device comprises a locking cam formed on the cover or the cap and a detent recess cooperating therewith, wherein the detent cam and the detent recess cooperating therewith determine the two positions of the closure cap by their geometric configuration, in which the two spout openings on the one hand and the closing area of the one on the other hand Cap with the spout opening in the lid aligned.
  • This configuration not only achieves the necessary lifting of the closure cap during the movement of the closure cap relative to the lid, but also the two operating positions of the closure cap are determined at the same time, so that it is ensured that the packaging is completely opened in the one position and in the one position completely closed.
  • a second opening is provided in the lid, which is closed by a second preferably elastic sealing element. This second opening serves as a vent when the sealing element is destroyed.
  • the second opening in the lid is formed in a spout opening substantially opposite sector. As a result, the air can flow in particularly low when emptying the packaging.
  • closure cap is provided with a projection which penetrates into the open position of the closure cap in the second sealing element and this opens.
  • the closure cap has a further sealing area, which seals a second sealing element in the closed position.
  • the second sealing element which usually serves as aeration when pouring liquids, is opened after its opening and thus allows leakage of liquid.
  • the further sealing region which is preferably designed as a seal, makes it possible, in particular when the can is closed, to seal the opened second sealing element.
  • sealing element There are several ways to open the sealing element. In addition to the described possibilities of a pull-out handle or a press-in punch, it is also possible to sever the sealing element horizontally. For this purpose, it is proposed that the closure cap has a cutting edge.
  • a simple embodiment provides that the cutting edge is arranged in the spout opening. If the sealing element enters the pouring opening, it can be cut off with the cutting edge. Subsequently, the cap is rotated back slightly, whereupon the contents of the package can emerge from the spout opening.
  • the cutting edge is arranged in a further opening of the closure cap. This separates the functions of cutting off part of the seal and leaking the contents of the package from the package.
  • a simple embodiment provides that the further opening is a slot. This makes it possible to enter a sealing element aligned with the oblong hole in the opening and to open the sealing element by a movement of the closure cap relative to the lid.
  • a particularly simple interaction between a blade fastened to the closure cap and a seal is achieved in that a part of a prestressed seal projects into an opening of the closure cap when the closure cap is moved relative to the lid.
  • the seal may in this case be biased by a special deformation or by the pressure of the cap against the seal as long as under bias until the seal protrudes into an opening of the cap.
  • the part of the prestressed seal audibly jumps into a position, in particular an opening of the closure cap, when the closure cap is moved relative to the lid. With a "pop” the seal jumps into the opening, where it is then cut off by moving the cap relative to the lid.
  • An acoustic signal can also be achieved by the seal jumps into a recess in the cap and thereby indicates a specific position of the lid relative to the cap - preferably audible.
  • the sealing element has a peripheral weakening for the engagement of the cutting edge.
  • the opened seal forms a sealing area between the cover and the closure cap. It is important to ensure that even after removing a portion of the seal to the opening of the seal still enough sealing material remains to allow sufficient sealing between the lid and cap.
  • the closure cap may have an opening with a cover.
  • the cover then forms a cavity for receiving at least a portion of the seal.
  • This cover may be integrally formed with the cap or be connected as an additional part with her. In this case, it can preferably be provided that the opening with the cutting edge has a cover.
  • seal and the spout opening in the closure cap are formed such that the seal can not penetrate into the spout opening.
  • the cap is movable in one direction only relative to the lid.
  • the cap is made of a multi-component material. This makes it possible to provide particularly strong materials for connecting the closure cap and lid, while other material qualities are required for the sealing regions.
  • closure cap has a metal frame with a plastic insert.
  • an elasticity of the sealing element is necessary thus the sealing element is deformable for engagement with the closure cap. This makes it possible to support the sealing element with the cap in the closed state.
