Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic container for holding food according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a plastic container is for example from the WO 01/19697 A1 known.
  • the US 5,437,386 discloses a container in which a provided on a lid, peripherally encircling ring is locked in an integrally formed on the container circumferential U-profile.
  • An outer leg of the U-profile has a predetermined breaking line, so that the outer leg of the U-profile breaks off when you first open the lid.
  • a circumferential first U-profile is provided at the opening edge of the container.
  • the first U-profile has an inner leg facing the container interior, on which a first latching means, for example, a radially outwardly projecting, circumferential first projection, is provided.
  • a circumferential second U-profile is provided at the edge of the lid.
  • a circumferential slot formed by the second U-profile is dimensioned from its diameter such that the inner leg of the first U-profile can be inserted therein.
  • a second locking means is provided, which corresponds to the first locking means. It may be a circumferential from the second outer leg radially inwardly, circumferential second projection.
  • the locking means lock together.
  • a peripheral edge of the first outer leg of the lid is received in the first U-profile of the container so that it can not be pushed upwards for opening purposes.
  • To open the lid closed Container is required to tear a perforated portion which is provided on a second outer leg of the first U-profile. Only then is the peripheral edge of the first outer leg of the second U-profile of the lid accessible and the lid can be opened.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art. It should in particular be given a simple and inexpensive to produce plastic container with improved tamper evidence. According to a further object of the invention, the plastic container should be as easy as possible to open for the consumer. Finally, it should always be recognizable whether the container has already been opened before or not.
  • the term "tamper-evident ring” is understood to mean a ring provided on the cover which is retained in the first U-profile when the cover is first opened.
  • An essential feature of the tamper evident ring is that it can not be locked to the container after a first opening of the lid.
  • the tamper-evident ring has a plurality of axially extending third predetermined breaking lines. -
  • the provision of such third predetermined breaking lines enables on the one hand a partial tearing of the tamper evident ring. On the other hand, it increases the flexibility of the tamper-evident ring, which makes it easier to lock it in the first U-profile.
  • the proposed plastic container is easy to produce. Both the container and the lid can be produced in a conventional manner each in a shot by means of injection molding.
  • the opening of the plastic container can be done by the consumer in a conventional manner. In particular, it is not necessary to remove an additional shrunk-on plastic film.
  • the tamper-evident ring provided on the cover breaks off at least in sections. This allows the consumer to immediately recognize whether the container has been previously opened before.
  • the term "circumferential" is understood to mean that the respective U-profiles and / or the first predetermined breaking line extending over a circumferential angle of at least 270 °, preferably at least 300 °, more preferably 310 to 330 °, or over the entire circumference, ie 360 ° extend.
  • the tamper-evident ring can extend on the cover with its entire circumference. However, it may have weakening lines, so that when tearing off the tamper evident ring, for example, a peripheral portion of about 320 ° ⁇ 10 ° is retained in the first U-profile. A remaining further peripheral portion may be separately separated from the tamper-evident ring to facilitate initial lifting of the lid.
  • the first latching means is a projecting from an outer wall of the inner leg outwardly circumferential first projection
  • the second latching means is a radially projecting from an inner wall of the first outer leg of the second U-profile second projection.
  • the first and the second projection may have mutually corresponding inclined surfaces, so that when lifting the lid from the container, the first outer leg is bent outwards and thus the latch formed by the first and the second projection is released.
  • the first U-profile has a second outer leg concentrically surrounding the inner leg, and wherein the third latching means is a third projection projecting radially inwardly from an inner wall of the second outer leg.
  • the third latching means may, for example, be flexible latching tongues which extend radially obliquely from the inner wall of the second outer leg in the region of the upper peripheral edge in the direction of a first base surface of the first U-profile.
  • the fourth locking means may be a circumferential fourth projection projecting outwardly from the peripheral edge of the tamper evident ring.
  • the fourth projection may be formed in the form of projections, which extend in sections over predetermined peripheral portions. Such sectional fourth projections may, for example, extend around circumferential angles of 15 to 30 ° and be offset from each other by a V-shaped notch. This facilitates the placement of the lid, in particular the locking of the tamper evident ring with the first U-profile.
  • the inner leg relative to a base surface of the first U-profile has a greater height than the second outer leg. This facilitates the attachment of the second U-profile on the inner leg of the first U-profile.
  • the plan view corresponds to the shape of the inner leg about the shape of the slot formed by the second U-profile, so that the lid can be attached to the inner leg.
  • the first locking means is provided with respect to the base surface at a greater distance than the third locking means
  • the fourth locking means provided with respect to a second base surface of the second U-profile at a greater distance than the second locking means is.
  • the first and the second latching means are at a first radial distance and the third and the fourth latching means at a second radial distance, which is greater than the first radial distance.
  • the latching produced between the first and the second latching means is releasable, whereas the latching produced between the third and the fourth latching means is insoluble, so that when opening the lid tearing off the tamperproof ring or the second outer leg at least in sections.
  • the third latching means has a first inclined surface sloping down towards the first base surface.
  • a radially outwardly projecting guide means is provided on the inner leg in a third latching means approximately opposite arrangement, which has a sloping towards the first base surface second inclined surface.
  • the third locking means and the guide means are expediently in the form of flexible locking tongues.
  • Such trained locking tongues form sections with their first and second inclined surfaces grooves, which widen when pressing the tamper-evident ring and lock this completely pressed in tamper-evident ring.
  • the arrangement of the opposing guide means and third locking means causes a self-centering of the attached tamper evident ring. It substantially facilitates automatic, machine-covering of the containers.
  • a first outer radius of the first outer leg is at most 2.5 mm, preferably at most 1.5 mm, smaller than a second outer radius of the tamper-evident ring.
  • a first section of the second outer leg has a second predetermined breaking line, so that a first recess can be produced in the second outer leg.
  • the first base surface expediently has a second recess in the region of the first portion.
  • the first portion may be connected by the second recess spanning breaking webs with the first base surface and / or the inner leg. This prevents inadvertent tearing off of the first section, for example during stacking or during transport.
  • the axially extending third predetermined breaking lines of the tamper evident ring are regularly spaced from each other.
  • a peripheral portion between two adjacent third predetermined breaking lines is smaller than the second recess. This facilitates a section-wise tearing of the tamper evident ring.
  • the first predetermined breaking line is formed as a perforation.
  • the tamper evident ring is connected to the lid via narrow bridges of material so that it can be separated from the lid without much effort.
  • the second and / or third predetermined breaking lines are expediently designed as continuous film bridges. But they can also be designed as a perforation similar to the first predetermined breaking line.
  • the container and the lid are made according to another embodiment of a flexible plastic, preferably polypropylene. Both the lid and the container are advantageously designed so that they can be produced in one shot by means of injection molding.
  • the lid is made in a different color from the container. This can z. B. the torn off from the lid and retained in the first U-profile tamper evident ring easily. So it can be stated at a glance whether the lid has ever been detached from the container.
  • the container may have a cylindrical and / or upwardly conically widening shape. But it can also be rectangular or otherwise shaped.
  • the container according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in combination with the lid on a particularly secure double tamper evidence.
  • To open the lid it is necessary to first tear off the first tab (first tamper-evident level) and subsequently tear off the tamper-evident ring by lifting the lid (second tamper-evident level).
  • the pressure for latching the lid is exerted only in those areas which are relatively stiff due to the provided U-profiles.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first container 1.
  • the first container 1 expediently has a cylindrical and upwardly conically widening shape. It is advantageously made of polypropylene.
  • At the opening edge of the container 1 is a circumferential first U-profile 2 with an inner space facing the container inner leg 3 and the inner leg 3 concentrically surrounding second outer leg 4 is provided.
  • the inner 3 and the second outer leg 4 are interconnected by a first base surface 5.
  • a portion A of the second outer leg 4 is formed as a tearable first tab 6.
  • Fig. 2 shows a sectional view through the first container 1 with the first lid mounted thereon 7.
  • the first cover 7 at its edge a circumferential second U-profile 8.
  • the second U-profile 8 has a further inner leg 9 and a first outer leg 10, which are connected to each other via a second base surface 11.
  • the shape and the radius of the second base surface 11 corresponds approximately to the shape and the radius of the inner leg 3.
  • a radially outwardly projecting first projection 12 has a to the first base surface indicative first inclined surface 13. From a inner wall of the first outer leg 10 extends radially inwardly a second projection 14.
  • the second projection 14 has a second inclined surface 15, which extends approximately parallel to the first inclined surface 13.
  • a tamper-evident ring 16 is attached via narrow material bridges (not shown here).
  • the tamper-evident ring 16 has a larger radius than the first outer leg 10.
  • Fig. 5 shows the sectional view according to Fig. 2 , This is the cutting position of the in Fig. 6 reproduced detailed view marked.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cutting position outside of the section A through the first 2 and the second U-profile 8.
  • a radially inwardly projecting third projection 17 which has a first base surface 5 extending towards the third inclined surface 19.
  • the fourth projection 18 is here opposite the first tab 6.
  • On an inner wall of the first tab 6 no projection corresponding to the fourth projection 18 is attached.
  • the function of the in the Fig. 1 to 6 shown first plastic container is the following:
  • the first lid 7 is inserted with its second U-profile 8 on the inner leg 3.
  • the second projection 14 slides over the first projection 12, facilitated by a further oblique surface provided in the region of the inner circumferential edge.
  • the fourth projection 18 is guided along the third inclined surface 19.
  • the tamper-evident ring 16 is pressed radially inward.
  • the fourth projection 18 of the tamper-evident ring 16 latches behind the third projection 17.
  • the second projection 14 latches behind the first projection 12.
  • the first U-profile 2 is opened in section A, so that the tamper-evident ring 16 and the first outer leg 10 of the first lid 7 are accessible.
  • the tamper-evident ring 16 approximately in alignment with the edge regions of the section A has further predetermined breaking lines (not shown here). This makes it possible to remove a portion of the tamper-evident ring 16, for example a peripheral portion in the range of 30 to 50 °, and subsequently to attack directly on the first outer leg 10 in order to lift off the lid 7.
  • the tamper-evident ring 16 is retained in the first U-profile 2.
  • the base 5 may also have a recess in the region of the section A.
  • the Fig. 7 to 10 show a second variant of the invention.

  • a second cover 21 in turn has a second U-profile 8.
  • a radially outwardly projecting second tab 22 is molded, which extends over a limited portion. The second tab 22 engages over the second outer leg 4 of the first U-profile 2 in the closed state.
  • the function of the second plastic container is as follows:
  • the second lid 21 is placed in a manner analogous to the first lid 7 on the second container 20. For the first time Opening the second lid 21, it is only necessary to push the second tab 22 upwards. As a result, the tamper-evident ring 16 connecting to the first outer leg 10 (not shown here) material bridges are severed. The tamper-evident ring 16 is retained in the first U-profile 2 by the latch formed by the third 17 by cooperation with the fourth projection 18.
  • the first plastic container is particularly suitable for use with automatic filling and capping devices. To its particular suitability contributes here that no radially beyond the first cover 7 protruding tabs, such as the second tab 22, are provided. However, it is also conceivable to operate the second plastic container 20 with automatic filling and capping devices.

  • Fig. 13 to 15 show further views of the first cover 7.
  • the tamper-evident ring 16 has axially extending second film bridges 29 which form predetermined breaking lines. A distance between two adjacent second film bridges 29 is smaller than a distance between the z.
  • Fig. 11 shown first film bridges 26 of the first tab 6.
  • Fig. 15 It can be seen that the tamper-evident ring 16 is connected to the first outer leg 10 of the lid 7 via a first perforation P1.
  • the Fig. 16 to 18 show a detail of a fourth container 30 in not inventive modification.
  • the guide means 24 are formed in the form obliquely to the first base surface 5 down sloping webs, which are approximately opposite the third projections 17.
  • the first base surface 5 below the third projections 17 second openings 31.
  • a second perforation P2 is provided in the sections in which the second outer leg 4 is connected to the first base surface 5.
  • the function of the fourth container 30 is as follows:
  • the lid 7 is raised by pressing on the tamper-evident ring 16.
  • the second perforation P2 tears.
  • the second outer leg 4 is separated from the first U-profile 2 and lifted with the lid 7 fixedly mounted tamper-evident ring 16.
  • Fig. 19 shows a partially schematic sectional view of a tool for automatically capping a container according to the invention, here by way of example the fourth container 30.
  • the tool comprises a, preferably annular, receptacle 32 for receiving the container 30.
  • the receptacle 32 has on its inner circumference a step-like, circumferential profile with a first support surface 33. On the first support surface 33, a radially outer portion of the first base surface 5 of the fourth container 30 is supported. Furthermore, the receptacle 32 has a second Stitz phenomenon.34 on which the formed in the fourth container 30 shoulder S is supported. Both the first 33 and the second support surface 34 extend substantially horizontally. They correspond in their vertical distance from the contour of the fourth container 30.
  • the reference numeral 35 denotes a pressure element, which may be formed annular or in the manner of a disc. From a peripheral edge of the pressure element 35 extends a circumferential wall 36.
  • the wall 36 has a stepped end face with a first pressure surface 37 for applying a pressure on the tamper-evident ring 16 on.
  • the pressure element 35 has a second pressure surface 38 for exerting a pressure on the second base surface 11 of the second U-profile 8.
  • the first 37 and second pressure surfaces 38 are substantially horizontal.
  • a vertical distance between the first pressure surface 37 and the second pressure surface 38 is selected to be slightly larger than a vertical distance between an upper edge of the tamper-evident ring 16 and the second base surface 11. The difference may be 0.1 to 0.5 mm, preferably 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
  • the function of the tool is the following:
  • a container here, for example, the fourth container 30, inserted into the receptacle 32, so that the first base surface 5 rests with a radially outer portion on the first support surface 33 and at the same time the shoulder S on the second support surface 34.
  • the first support surface 33 supports the first base surface 5 such that it overlaps preferably less than 50%, particularly preferably less than 40%, with the first support surface 33.
  • a first lid 7 corresponding to the fourth container 30 is inserted into the first U-profile such that its tamper-evident ring 16 lies in a groove formed by the fourth projection 17 and the guide means 24.
  • This can z. B. by means of the pressure element 35 by a frictional connection or an adhesive connection is made by means of negative pressure between the cover 7 and the pressure element 35.
  • the pressure element 35 is moved relative to the receptacle 32 so that the first pressure surface 37 rests against the upper edge of the tamper-evident ring 16.
  • the second pressure surface 38 is still not on the second base surface 11 at. It is then exerted by a further movement of the pressure element 35 relative to the receptacle 32, a pressure on the tamper-evident ring 16.
  • the first U-profile 2 is tilted radially inwardly into the receptacle 32 due to its flexible material properties and as a result of the only partial support of the first base surface 5 on the first support surface 33. This facilitates the latching of the tamper-evident ring 16 behind the third projection 17.
  • the second pressure surface 38 then comes into contact with the second base surface 11, whereby a locking of the first 12 and the second projection 14 is supported.
  • first base surface 5 is only partially supported on the first support surface 33. It is also possible to support the first base surface 4 substantially over the entire area on the first support surface 33. Likewise, it is of course also possible to change the arrangement of the first 37 and the second pressure surface 38 in their vertical distance, so that they correspond to the contour of the lid 7. - However, it has been shown that with the in Fig. 19 illustrated embodiment of the tool a particularly secure and reliable automatic cover of the container according to the invention can be achieved.
