Projections (60) e.g. ribs, are arranged at the mantle surface parallel to a rotation axis of the cap, and form a gripping surface, which partially forms the mantle surface. The projections comprise a recess at ends turned towards the covering surface. The recess forms the support for the carrier element, and the covering surface comprises a chamfered edge (80).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlusskappe für eine Flasche, insbesondere für eine Getränkeflasche aus Kunststoff, mit einem im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Grundkörper, der eine Mantelfläche und eine die Mantelfläche abschließende Deckfläche aufweist, sowie einem an der Verschlusskappe angeordneten klappbaren Trageelement, wobei die Verschlusskappe eine Aufnahme für das Trageelement aufweist, die das Trageelement in einem zugeklappten Zustand aufnimmt.The invention relates to a closure cap for a bottle, in particular for a beverage bottle made of plastic, having a substantially cylindrical base body, which has a jacket surface and a cover surface terminating the jacket surface, and a hinged carrying element arranged on the closure cap, wherein the closure cap is a receptacle for the Carrying member which receives the support member in a closed state.

Um Flaschen einfach mit sich mitführen und tragen zu können, sind zahlreiche Vorrichtungen bekannt geworden, mit deren Hilfe die Getränkeflasche beispielsweise an einem Gürtel befestigt werden kann. So wird beispielsweise in der EP 1 072 377 A1 oder der WO 99/57026 A1 jeweils eine Flasche gezeigt, wobei unterhalb des Schraubgewindes am Flaschenhals ein ringförmiges Element angebracht ist. Dieses Trageelement steht hierbei entweder horizontal oder aber vertikal von der Flasche ab. In der US 2002/84241 A1 ist eine Verschlusskappe gezeigt, an deren Grifffläche ein Trageelement mit im Wesentlichen ringförmiger Öffnung befestigt ist. Dieses Trageelement kann von einer horizontalen in eine vertikale Position geklappt werden.In order to easily carry and carry bottles with you, numerous devices have become known, by means of which the beverage bottle can be attached to a belt, for example. For example, in the EP 1 072 377 A1 or the WO 99/57026 A1 each shown a bottle, wherein below the screw thread on the bottle neck, an annular member is attached. This support element stands here either horizontally or vertically from the bottle. In the US 2002/84241 A1 a cap is shown, on the gripping surface of a support member is fixed with a substantially annular opening. This support member can be folded from a horizontal to a vertical position.

Nachteilig an diesen Tragevorrichtungen ist, dass die Trageelemente jeweils über die Flasche hinausragen und damit ein Anordnen einer Vielzahl von derartigen Flaschen beispielsweise auf einer Palette erschwert ist. Ebenso ist die Verwendung derartiger Flaschen und/oder Verschlüsse mit hervorstehendem Trageelement in bereits bestehenden Abfüllanlagen meist nur eingeschränkt bis gar nicht möglich.A disadvantage of these carrying devices is that the carrying elements each protrude beyond the bottle and thus placing a plurality of such bottles, for example, on a pallet is difficult. Likewise, the use of such bottles and / or closures with protruding carrying element in already existing bottling usually only limited to not possible.

Es wurden daher Lösungen bekannt, bei welchen ein Trageelement aus einer zugeklappten Position, bei welcher es im wesentlichen an der Verschlusskappe der Flasche anliegt, in eine Trageposition überführbar ist. Derartige Lösungen können beispielsweise der US 6,766,917 B1 oder der US 3,866,782 B1 entnommen werden. Nachteilig an diesen Vorrichtungen ist, dass ihr Trageelement nur schlecht handhabbar in die Trageposition überführbar ist.Therefore, solutions have been known in which a carrying element can be transferred from a closed position, in which it bears substantially against the closure cap of the bottle, into a carrying position. Such solutions can, for example, the US Pat. No. 6,766,917 B1 or the US Pat. No. 3,866,782 B1 be removed. A disadvantage of these devices is that their support element is difficult to handle in the carrying position can be transferred.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Nachteile des Stands der Technik zu beseitigen und eine einfach und intuitiv zu handhabende Tragevorrichtung bereitzustellen, die bei Nichtbenutzung des Trageelementes das Abfüllen, Verpacken und/oder Transportieren der Flaschen nicht behindert und gleichzeitig das Öffnen der Flasche wesentlich erleichtert.It is therefore an object of the invention to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a simple and intuitive to use handling device that does not hinder the filling, packaging and / or transporting the bottles when not using the support element and at the same time greatly facilitates the opening of the bottle ,

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Verschlusskappe der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, dass eine an der Mantelfläche parallel zu der Drehachse der Verschlusskappe angeordnete Vielzahl von Vorsprüngen eine zumindest teilweise die Mantelfläche umschließende Grifffläche bildet, und die Vorsprünge an ihrem der Deckfläche zugewandten Ende jeweils eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, die eine Aufnahme für das Trageelement bildet. Das Trageelement ist hierbei in einem zugeklappten Zustand praktisch zur Gänze in der Verschlusskappe untergebracht. Damit überragt das Trageelement an keiner Stelle die Flasche, wodurch die Flasche einfach zu verpacken und zu transportieren ist. Des weiteren sind auch keine Modifikationen an bereits bestehenden Maschinenanlagen in der Abfüllung notwendig, weil die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe sich in ihrer Kontur kaum von konventionellen Verschlusskappen unterscheidet. Für das leichte Öffnen der Flasche weisen Verschlusskappen üblicherweise Griffflächen auf. Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung bilden eine an der Mantelfläche parallel zu der Drehachse der Verschlusskappe angeordnete Vielzahl von Vorsprüngen eine zumindest teilweise die Mantelfläche umschließende Grifffläche. Die Vorsprünge weisen an ihrem der Deckfläche zugewandten Ende eine Ausnehmung auf, die eine Aufnahme für das Trageelement bildet. Die Verschlusskappe weist durch die Aufnahme für das Trageelement eine Materialschwächung in diesem Bereich auf, wobei diese reduzierte Stabilität durch die Vorsprünge insbesondere in Form von parallel zueinander angeordneten Rippen an der Mantelfläche ausgeglichen und das Material derart verstärkt wird.This object is achieved by a cap of the type mentioned above in that a parallel to the rotational axis of the cap arranged on the lateral surface of a plurality of projections at least partially enclosing the lateral surface grip surface, and the projections at their end surface facing the end of each recess have, which forms a receptacle for the support element. The support element is in this case housed in a closed state virtually entirely in the closure cap. Thus, the support element does not protrude beyond the bottle, which makes the bottle easy to pack and transport. Furthermore, no modifications to already existing machinery in the filling are necessary because the closure cap according to the invention hardly differs in contour from conventional caps. For easy opening of the bottle caps usually have gripping surfaces. In the present invention, a plurality of projections arranged on the lateral surface parallel to the axis of rotation of the closure cap form a gripping surface which at least partially encloses the lateral surface. The projections have at their end facing the top surface a recess which forms a receptacle for the support member. The closure cap has a material weakening in this region through the receptacle for the carrying element, whereby this reduced stability is compensated by the projections, in particular in the form of mutually parallel ribs on the lateral surface, and the material is thus reinforced.

In diese durch die Vorsprünge gebildete Rinne ist das Trageelement im zugeklappten Zustand eingelegt. Es liegt also in einer ringförmigen Ausnehmung, die durch die Ausnehmungen der Vorsprünge um die Deckfläche gebildet wird. Damit schließt das Trageelement bündig mit der Verschlusskappe ab und steht nicht über die Außenkonturen der Getränkeflasche hinaus.In this groove formed by the projections, the support element is inserted in the closed state. It thus lies in an annular recess which is formed by the recesses of the projections around the top surface. Thus, the support member is flush with the cap and is not beyond the outer contours of the beverage bottle out.

Ein in der Herstellung kostengünstiges Trageelement ist ringförmig ausgebildet. Zusätzlich hat dieser Tragering den Vorteil, dass er auf besonders einfache Weise an der Verschlusskappe im zugeklappten Zustand angeordnet werden kann.An inexpensive to manufacture carrying element is annular. In addition, this support ring has the advantage that it can be arranged in a particularly simple manner on the closure cap in the closed state.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist der Durchmesser der Deckfläche geringer als der Durchmesser der Verschlusskappe im Bereich der Mantelfläche. Die Deckfläche weist hierbei in ihrem Außenbereich eine Abschrägung zur Mantelfläche hin auf, die als ringförmige Auflagefläche für das Trageelement im zugeklappten Zustand fungiert. Der Tragering liegt im zugeklappten Zustand um die Deckfläche auf der Abschrägung auf und kann auf einfache Weise zum Tragen der Flasche aufgeklappt werden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the cover surface is smaller than the diameter of the closure cap in the region of the lateral surface. The top surface has in this case in its outer region a chamfer to the lateral surface out, which acts as an annular support surface for the support member in the closed state. The support ring is in the closed state to the top surface on the chamfer and can be opened in a simple way to carry the bottle.

Bevorzugterweise ist das Trageelement im Bereich der Deckfläche angelenkt. Um diese gelenkige Verbindung kann das Trageelement aus einer ersten, zugeklappten Position, bei der das Trageelement die Außenkontur der Flasche nicht überragt, in einen zweiten, aufgeklappten Zustand geschwenkt werden, die ein Tragen der Flasche erlaubt.Preferably, the support element is articulated in the region of the top surface. To this articulated connection, the support member from a first, folded position in which the support member does not dominate the outer contour of the bottle, are pivoted to a second, unfolded state, which allows a carrying the bottle.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung sind Verschlusskappe und Trageelement einstückig hergestellt; das Gelenk, um das das Trageelement verschwenkbar ist, wird hierbei durch eine Materialverdünnung gebildet.In a preferred embodiment of the invention closure cap and support member are made in one piece; the joint around which the carrying element is pivotable is formed here by a thinning of the material.

Wie auch bei den konventionellen Verschlüssen für Getränkeflaschen ist die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe für gewöhnlich als Drehverschluss ausgebildet.As with the conventional closures for beverage bottles, the cap according to the invention is usually designed as a rotary closure.

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Verschlusskappe 10 besteht aus einem im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Grundkörper mit einer Mantelfläche 20, wobei ein Sicherungsring 25 unterhalb der Verschlusskappe 10 angeordnet ist, der beim erstmaligen Öffnen der Flasche von der Verschlusskappe 10 abgetrennt wird.The closure cap 10 shown in the figures consists of a substantially cylindrical base body with a lateral surface 20, wherein a securing ring 25 is arranged below the closure cap 10, which is separated from the closure cap 10 when the bottle is opened for the first time.

Wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, weist die Verschlusskappe 10 eine Deckfläche 30 auf, um deren Umfang ein Trageelement 40 angeordnet ist, das bei der vorliegenden Ausführung als Tragering ausgebildet ist. Der Tragering 40 ist hierbei über ein Verbindungsstück 50 an der Mantelfläche 20 der Verschlusskappe 10 befestigt.As in Fig. 2 shown, the cap 10 has a top surface 30, around the circumference of a support member 40 is arranged, which is formed in the present embodiment as a support ring. The support ring 40 is fastened here via a connecting piece 50 on the lateral surface 20 of the closure cap 10.

Verschlusskappe 10 und Tragering 40 sind bevorzugterweise einstückig hergestellt, wobei das Verbindungsstück 50 eine Materialverdünnung darstellt, um das der Tragering 40 aus einer Trageposition in eine zugeklappte Position verschwenkt werden kann.Cap 10 and support ring 40 are preferably made in one piece, wherein the connecting piece 50 represents a dilution of material, around which the support ring 40 can be pivoted from a carrying position to a closed position.

An der Mantelfläche 20 sind Vorsprünge 60 angeordnet, deren Form im Wesentlichen einer Welle im Querschnitt ähnelt. Neben des ästhetischen Aspekts diesen diese rippenartigen Vorsprünge 60 einerseits der Materialverstärkung zur Erhöhung der Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusskappe, andererseits wird durch die Anordnung der Vorsprünge 60 eine Grifffläche gebildet, die das Öffnen der Verschlusskappe 10 erleichtert. Diese Vorsprünge 60 weisen an ihrem breiteren der Deckfläche 30 zugewandten Ende eine Einkerbung auf (Fig. 4). Durch die parallele Anordnung der einzelnen Vorsprünge 60 an der Mantelfläche 20 wird eine Rille 70 gebildet, die als Aufnahme für den Tragering 40 fungiert und in der der Tragering 40 im zugeklappten Zustand (Figs. 1 bis 3) aufliegt.On the lateral surface 20 projections 60 are arranged, the shape of which substantially resembles a shaft in cross section. In addition to the aesthetic aspect of these these rib-like projections 60 on the one hand, the material reinforcement to increase the stability of the closure cap according to the invention, on the other hand, a gripping surface is formed by the arrangement of the projections 60, which facilitates the opening of the closure cap 10. These projections 60 have a notch on their wider end facing the top surface 30 (FIG. Fig. 4 ). Due to the parallel arrangement of the individual projections 60 on the lateral surface 20, a groove 70 is formed, which acts as a receptacle for the support ring 40 and in which the support ring 40 in the closed state ( Figs. 1 to 3 ) rests.

Um ein einfaches Aufklappen des Trageringes 40 zu ermöglichen, ist an der dem Verbindungselement 50 gegenüberliegenden Bereich der Mantelfläche 20 ein freier Bereich 65 vorgesehen, an dem keine Vorsprünge 60 angeordnet sind. Damit kann der Tragering 40 einfach aus dem zugeklappten Zustand, bei welchen er in der Rille 70 ruht, angehoben und aufgeklappt werden.In order to enable a simple unfolding of the support ring 40, a free area 65 is provided on the region of the lateral surface 20 opposite the connecting element 50, on which no projections 60 are arranged. Thus, the support ring 40 can be easily lifted from the folded state, in which it rests in the groove 70, and unfolded.

Die Form des Trageringes 40 ist so gewählt, dass eine Innenkontur an einer Abschrägung 80, die zwischen Mantelfläche 20 bzw. Rille 70 und Deckfläche 30 angeordnet ist, aufliegt. Die Außenkontur des Trageringes 40 überragt dabei - im Querschnitt gesehen - die Vorsprünge 60 nicht und schließt gleichzeitig im zugeklappten Zustand bündig mit der Deckfläche 30 ab.The shape of the support ring 40 is selected so that an inner contour rests on a bevel 80 which is arranged between the lateral surface 20 or groove 70 and the cover surface 30. The outer contour of the support ring 40 projects beyond - seen in cross section - the projections 60 not and simultaneously closes in the closed state flush with the top surface 30 from.

In der Fig. 6 mit dem zugehörigen Detail Y ist gezeigt, dass die Deckfläche 30 eine Rastnase 31 aufweist, die durch eine Einschnürung 32 in der Abschrägung 80 gebildet wird. Diese Rastnase 31 liegt in der horizontale Ebene der Deckfläche 30, sodass sie nicht aus der Verschlusskappe 10 herausragt. Im zugeklappten Zustand rastet die Rastnase 31 in den Tragering 40 ein und bewirkt so eine Fixierung des Tragerings 40 in der Verschlusskappe 10, die durch Drücken gegen die Unterseite des Tragerings 40 wieder gelöst werden kann.In the Fig. 6 with the associated detail Y is shown that the top surface 30 has a latching nose 31 which is formed by a constriction 32 in the chamfer 80. This locking lug 31 lies in the horizontal plane of the top surface 30, so that it does not protrude from the cap 10. In the closed state, the locking lug 31 engages in the support ring 40 and thus causes a fixation of the support ring 40 in the cap 10, which can be released by pressing against the underside of the support ring 40 again.

Um das Aufdrücken und damit das Ausklappen des Tragerings 40 in die Trageposition zu erleichtern, weist der freie Bereich 65 der Mantelfläche 20 bevorzugterweise eine Ausnehmung 66 auf (Fig. 7), die in der dargestellten Ausführung der Erfindung als Einbuchtung realisiert ist.In order to facilitate the pressing and thus the unfolding of the support ring 40 in the carrying position, the free area 65 of the lateral surface 20 preferably has a recess 66 (FIG. Fig. 7 ), which is realized in the illustrated embodiment of the invention as a recess.

Es versteht sich, dass das oben beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel in nicht einschränkender Weise zu betrachten ist. Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist, dass die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe ein Trageelement aufweist, das bei Nichtgebrauch die Kontur der Verschlusskappe sowie die Flasche im wesentlichen nicht überragt und bei Bedarf in eine Gebrauchsstellung überführt werden kann.It is understood that the embodiment described above is to be considered in a non-limiting manner. It is essential to the invention that the closure cap according to the invention has a carrying element which, when not in use, substantially does not protrude beyond the contour of the closure cap and the bottle and, if necessary, can be transferred into a position of use.
