Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verschlußsystem für eine Kindertrinkflasche oder für einen Kindertrinkbecher gemäβ dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Kindertrinkflasche oder einen Kindertrinkbecher, die oder der mit einem derartigen Verschlußsystem ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to a closure system for a child drinking bottle or for a child drinking cup according to the preamble of claim 1 and a child drinking bottle or a child drinking cup, which is equipped with such a closure system.

Derartige Kindertrinkflaschen oder -becher weisen einen Behälter zur Aufnahme der Flüssigkeit auf. Der Behälter wird von einem Deckel verschlossen, der ein spezielles Mundstück aufweist, welches das Trinken erleichtert.Such children's drinking bottles or cups have a container for receiving the liquid. The container is closed by a lid, which has a special mouthpiece, which facilitates drinking.

Beispielsweise sind Kindertrinkbecher bekannt, bei denen ein einteilig aus einem relativ festen Kunststoff gefertigter Deckel mit einer integral mit dem Deckel ausgebildeten Trinktülle versehen ist. Für problemloses Trinken ist der Deckel mit einem Entlüftungsloch versehen. Vor einem unerwünschten Auslaufen von Flüssigkeit kann das Mundstück mit einem speziellen Einsatzstück aus einem elastischen Material mit einer schlitzförmigen Öffnung versehen sein, welches die Flüssigkeit erst durch Saugen an dem Mundstück abgibt. Zum gleichen Zweck kann auch ein spezielles Ventil vorgesehen sein. Nachteilig bei den bekannten Kindertrinkbechern ist, daß das Mundstück aus dem gleichen, relativ festen Kunststoff besteht, wie der Rest des Deckels, und daß der gesamte Deckel ausgetauscht werden muß, wenn das Mundstück verschlissen ist.For example, children's drinking cups are known in which a one-piece made of a relatively strong plastic lid is provided with an integrally formed with the lid drinking spout. For trouble-free drinking, the lid is provided with a vent hole. Before an undesirable leakage of liquid, the mouthpiece may be provided with a special insert of an elastic material with a slot-shaped opening, which emits the liquid by suction on the mouthpiece. For the same purpose, a special valve may be provided. A disadvantage of the known child drinking cups that the mouthpiece consists of the same, relatively strong plastic, as the rest of the lid, and that the entire lid must be replaced when the mouthpiece is worn.

Bei bekannten Kindertrinkflaschen ist das Mundstück in der Regel ein Sauger aus einem sehr elastischen Material, wie Latex oder Silikon, der einen Befestigungsflansch am von der Öffnung abgewandten Ende aufweist. Der Befestigungsflansch wird von einem Verschlußring, der mit der Trinkflasche verschraubt wird, gegen den Rand der Trinkflasche gepreßt. Das Mundstück ist aus dem Verschlußring herausnehmbar und kann somit einzeln ausgewechselt werden. Eine solche Kindertrinkflasche zeigt beispielhaft die Druckschrift DE 197 379 911 A1 . Der korrekte und dichtende Sitz des Befestigungsflansches des Mundstücks zwischen dem Flaschenhals und dem Verschlußring läßt sich nur schwer von außen kontrollieren. Außerdem muß die Größe der Öffnung des Flaschenhalses der vorgegebenen Größe des Befestigungsflansches des Mundstücks entsprechen.In known children's bottles, the mouthpiece is usually a sucker made of a very elastic material, such as latex or silicone, a mounting flange has at the end remote from the opening. The mounting flange is pressed by a locking ring, which is bolted to the bottle, against the edge of the bottle. The mouthpiece is removable from the locking ring and thus can be replaced individually. Such a children's drinking bottle shows an example of the publication DE 197 379 911 A1 , The correct and sealing fit of the mounting flange of the mouthpiece between the bottle neck and the locking ring is difficult to control from the outside. In addition, the size of the opening of the bottle neck must correspond to the predetermined size of the mounting flange of the mouthpiece.

Die WO 02/22073 A1 beschreibt ein Verschlußsystem für einen Kindertrinkbecher mit einem Verschlußring, der an einem äußeren Umfang ein Befestigungsmittel zur dichtenden und lösbaren Verbindung mit einem Behälterrand eines Behälters des Kindertrinkbechers, eine Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines Mundstücks und ein Innengewinde aufweist, das die Öffnung umrandet und in einem Abstand von der Öffnung und von dem Befestigungsmittel angeordnet ist. Ferner umfasst das Verschlußavstem einen Fixiereinsatz mit einer Durchgansöffnung und einem Außengewinde, das in das Innengewinde des Verschlußrings einschraubbar ist, um einen Befestigurigsansatz des Mundstücks zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz und dem Verschlußring dichtend einzuklemmen.The WO 02/22073 A1 EP 0 965 832 A2 describes a closure system for a child drinking cup having a closure ring having an attachment means for sealing and releasable connection to a container rim of a container of the infant drinking cup, an opening for receiving a mouthpiece and an internal thread surrounding the opening at a distance from the opening and is arranged by the fastening means. Furthermore, the Verschlußstemstem comprises a fixing insert with a through-opening and an external thread which can be screwed into the internal thread of the locking ring to clamp a Befestigurigsansatz the mouthpiece between the fixing insert and the closure ring sealing.

Davon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verschlußsystem für eine Kindertrinkflasche oder einen Kindertrinkbecher zur Verfügung zu stellen, das die Handhabung vereinfacht und einen flexiblen Einsatz ermöglicht.On this basis, it is the object of the invention to provide a closure system for a child drinking bottle or a child drinking cup, which simplifies the handling and allows flexible use.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das Verschlußsystem für eine einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Flüssigkeit aufweisende Kindertrinkflasche oder einen Kindertrinkbecher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the closure system for a container for receiving a liquid having child drinking bottle or a child drinking cup with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verschlußsystem hat

  • einen Verschlußring, der an einem äußeren Umfang ein Befestigungsmittel zur dichtenden und lösbaren Verbindung mit einem Behälterrand des Behälters der Kindertrinkflasche oder des Kindertrinkbechers, eine Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines Mundstücks und/oder eines Blinddeckels und ein Innengewinde aufweist, das die Öffnung umrandet und in einem Abstand von der Öffnung und dem Befestigungsmittel angeordnet ist,
  • einen Fixiereinsatz mit einer Durchgangsöffnung und einem Außengewinde, das in das Innengewinde des Verschlußrings einschraubbar ist, um einen Befestigungsansatz des Mundstücks bzw. des Blinddeckels zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz und dem Verschlußring dichtend einzuklemmen-, wobei
  • eine im zusammengesetzten Zustand dem Refestigungsansatz des Mundstücks zugewandte Fläche des Verschlußrings und/oder eine dem Befestigungsansatz des Mundstücks zugewandte Fläche des Fixiereinsatzes eine umlaufende Erhebung, eine umlaufende Kante oder einen umlaufenden Steg auf, der oder die beim Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes gegen den Befestigungsansatz gepreßt wird.
The closure system according to the invention has
  • a locking ring having on an outer periphery a fastening means for sealing and releasable connection with a container edge of the container of the child drinking bottle or child drinking cup, an opening for receiving a mouthpiece and / or a blind cover and an internal thread which surrounds the opening and at a distance is arranged by the opening and the fastening means,
  • a Fixiereinsatz with a through hole and an external thread which is screwed into the internal thread of the locking ring to sealingly clamp a mounting lug of the mouthpiece or the blind cover between the fuser and the locking ring, wherein
  • a in the assembled state of the attachment approach of the mouthpiece facing surface of the locking ring and / or the attachment approach of the mouthpiece facing surface of the Fixiereinsatzes a circumferential survey, a circumferential edge or a circumferential ridge on or is pressed when screwing the Fixiereinsatzes against the attachment approach.

Das Befestigungsmittel des Verschlußrings kann ein umlaufender Rand sein, der den Behälterrand umschließt. Der Verschlußring kann dadurch kraftschlüssig am Behälterrand fixiert sein. Der Behälterrand kann mit einem umlaufenden Wulst versehen sein, der von einem Abschnitt des Befestigungsmittels nach Art eines Schnappverschlusses hintergriffen wird. Auch eine Schraubverbindung zwischen dem Verschlußring und dem Behälterrand ist möglich. Die Öffnung im Verschlußring kann mittig oder seitlich versetzt angeordnet sein. Bevorzugt ist die Öffnung kreisförmig. Das Innengewinde ist bevorzugt auf der dem Behälter zugewandten Seite des Verschlußrings ausgebildet, d.h. es befindet sich bevorzugt im Inneren der geschlossenen Kindertrinkflasche bzw. des Kindertrinkbechers. Das Innengewinde befindet sich in einem Abstand sowohl von der Öffnung als auch von dem Befestigungsmittel am äußeren Umfang des Verschlußrings, d.h. es ist zwischen diesen beiden angeordnet. Bevorzugt ist das Innengewinde konzentrisch zu der kreisförmigen Öffnung angeordnet. Der Befestigungsansatz des Mundstücks kann ein Befestigungsflansch sein, der eine im wesentlichen senkrecht zu einer Längsachse des Mundstücks verlaufende, ringscheibenförmige Fläche bildet. Der Befestigungsansatz des Mundstücks wird zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz und dem Verschlußring dichtend eingeklemmt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann statt des Mundstücks ein Blinddeckel, der die Öffnung des Verschlußrings verschließt, zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz und dem Verschlußdeckel dichtend eingeklemmt werden. Die Kombination aus Verschlußring, Mundstück bzw. Blinddeckel und Fixiereinsatz bildet somit eine Einheit, die in zusammengesetztem Zustand mit dem mit einer Flüssigkeit gefüllten Behälter verbunden wird. Dadurch kann einfach überprüft werden, ob der Befestigungsansatz des Mundstücks richtig sitzt und ausreichend fest eingeklemmt ist, bevor der flüssigkeitsgefüllte Behälter angesetzt wird. Durch diese verbesserte Kontrollmöglichkeit wird ein Verschütten von Flüssigkeit infolge einer Undichtigkeit vermieden. Gleichzeitig kann das Einklemmen des Befestigungsansatzes kontrollierter und gefühlvoller vorgenommen werden, wodurch sich eine übermäßige Beanspruchung und ein vorzeitiger Verschleiß des Befestigungsansatzes vermeiden läßt. Die Größe der Behälteröffnung kann unabhängig von der Größe des Mundstücks gewählt werden. Insbesondere kann ein Becher mit einer relativ großen Becheröffnung, die das Befüllen und Reinigen des Bechers vereinfacht, mit Mundstücken in standardisierter Größe, die auch für Trinkflaschen verwendbar sind, kombiniert werden. Das Verschlußsystem ist dadurch besonders flexibel einsetzbar. Durch die Schraubklemmung mit dem Fixiereinsatz können auch Mundstücke mit unterschiedlich dicken Befestigungsansätzen sicher eingeklemmt werden. Insbesondere können bereits vorhandene Sauger von Trinkflaschen mit dem Verschlußsystem kombiniert werden. Dies kann die Umstellung von Trinkflaschen zu größeren Trinkbechern mit gegebenenfalls anderen Mundstücken vereinfachen. Durch die umlaufende Erhebung oder Kante oder den umlaufenden Steg wird eine wohldefinierte, linien- oder streifenförmige Kontaktfläche zur Verfügung gestellt, die die Fixierung des Mundstückes und die Dichtigkeit der Verbindung verbessert.The fastening means of the locking ring may be a peripheral edge which encloses the container edge. The closure ring can thereby be fixed non-positively on the container edge. The container edge may be provided with a circumferential bead which is engaged behind by a portion of the fastening means in the manner of a snap closure. A screw connection between the locking ring and the container edge is possible. The opening in the locking ring can be arranged centrally or laterally offset. Preferably, the opening is circular. The internal thread is preferably formed on the side of the closure ring facing the container, ie it is preferably located inside the closed child drinking bottle or the child drinking cup. The internal thread is located at a distance from both the opening and the fastening means on the outer circumference of the locking ring, that is, it is arranged between these two. Preferably, the internal thread is arranged concentrically to the circular opening. The attachment lug of the mouthpiece may be a mounting flange which forms an annular disc-shaped surface extending substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece. The attachment lug of the mouthpiece is sealingly clamped between the fuser and the closure ring. Alternatively or additionally, instead of the mouthpiece, a blind cover, which closes the opening of the locking ring, sealingly clamped between the fixing insert and the closure lid become. The combination of closure ring, mouthpiece or blind cover and fixing insert thus forms a unit which is connected in an assembled state with the container filled with a liquid. This makes it easy to check whether the attachment lug of the mouthpiece is seated properly and clamped firmly enough before the liquid-filled container is attached. This improved control option avoids liquid spillage due to leakage. At the same time the clamping of the attachment approach can be made more controlled and soulful, which can avoid excessive stress and premature wear of the attachment approach. The size of the container opening can be chosen independently of the size of the mouthpiece. In particular, a cup with a relatively large cup opening, which simplifies the filling and cleaning of the cup, can be combined with mouthpieces of standardized size, which can also be used for drinking bottles. The closure system is characterized particularly flexible use. By Schraubschraemmung with the Fixiereinsatz also mouthpieces with different thickness attachment approaches can be securely clamped. In particular, already existing suckers of drinking bottles can be combined with the closure system. This can simplify the transition from drinking bottles to larger drinking cups with possibly different mouthpieces. By the circumferential elevation or edge or the circumferential ridge a well-defined, linear or strip-shaped contact surface is provided, which improves the fixation of the mouthpiece and the tightness of the connection.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist das Innengewinde des Verschlußrings an einem rohrförmigen Abschnitt des Verschlußrings ausgebildet, wobei eine Außenseite des rohrförmigen Abschnitts an eine Innenseite des Behälterrands angrenzt, wenn der Verschlußrinsg und der Behälter zusammengesetzt sind. Die Außenseite des rohrförmigen Abschnitts kann ganz oder teilweise an der Innenseite des Behätterrands anliegen oder sich in einem geringen Abstand davon befinden. Die Außenseite des rohrförmigen Abschnitts bildet eine Führung des Verschlußrings, die das Aufsetzen auf den Behälterrand vereinfachen kann. Außerdem wird die Ausbildung einer Rinne größeren Volumens zwischen Innengewinde und Innenseite des Behälterrandes, in der sich Flüssigkeit ansammeln und eine vollständige Entleerung der Kindertrinkflache oder des Kindertrinkbechers erschweren könnte, vermieden. Gegebenenfalls können die Durchmesser des Innengewindes und der Behälteröffnung so aufeinander abgestimmt sein, daß der rohrförmige Abschnitt eine materialsparende Wandstärke aufweist.In one embodiment, the inner thread of the locking ring is formed on a tubular portion of the locking ring, wherein an outer side of the tubular portion is adjacent to an inner side of the container rim, when the Verschlußrinsg and the container are composed. The outside of the tubular portion may be wholly or partially against the inside of the Behätterrands or located at a small distance therefrom. The outside of the tubular portion forms a guide of the locking ring, which can simplify the placement on the container edge. In addition, the formation of a larger volume channel between the internal thread and the inside of the container rim, in which liquid accumulate and complicate a complete emptying of the child drinking surface or the child drinking cup avoided. Optionally, the diameter of the internal thread and the container opening may be coordinated so that the tubular portion has a material-saving wall thickness.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist der Fixiereinsatz einen ringförmigen Abschnitt auf, der die Durchgangsöffnung bildet, und einen die Durchgangsöffnung überspannenden Steg. Der ringförmige Abschnitt ist so bemessen, daß er ein sicheres Einklemmen des Befestigungsansatzes ermöglicht. Gleichzeitig ergibt sich eine besonders große Durchgangsöffnung, durch welche die Flüssigkeit ungehindert hindurchtreten kann und die die Kontrolle des richtigen Sitzes des Befestigungsansatzes weiter vereinfacht. Der die Durchgangsöffnung überspanende Steg ist besonders griffgünstig und vereinfacht das Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes.In a further embodiment, the fixing insert has an annular portion which forms the passage opening, and a web which spans the passage opening. The annular portion is sized to allow secure clamping of the mounting boss. At the same time there is a particularly large passage opening through which the liquid can pass unhindered and further simplifies the control of the correct fit of the attachment approach. The passage over-cutting bridge is particularly easy to handle and simplifies screwing the fuser insert.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung schließt eine im zusammengesetzten Zustand von Verschlußsystem und Behälter dem Behälter zugewandte Seite des ringförmigen Abschnitts des Fixiereinsatzes im in den Verschlußring eingeschraubten Zustand etwa bündig mit einem freien Ende des rohrförmigen Abschnitts des Verschlußrings ab. Das freie Ende des rohrförmigen Abschnitts des Verschlußrings ist dabei dem Behälterinneren zugewandt. Durch den etwa bündigen Abschluß wird das Ausbilden einer Vertiefung im bereich des Fixiereinsatzes und des rohrförmigen Abschnitts vermieden, was wiederum die Restentleerung begünstigt. Etwa bündig bedeutet, daß in Bezug auf die Länge des rohrförmigen Abschnitts der ringförmige Abschnitt des Fixiereinsatzes oder das freie Ende des rohrförmigen Abschnitts nur geringfügig über das jeweils andere Teil übersteht. Die sich tatsächlich ergebende Lage im eingeschraubten Zustand ist dabei von der Dicke des Befestigungsansatzes abhängig, so daß geringfügige Abweichungen von einem vollständig bündigen Abschluß auftreten können. Bevorzugt sind Fixiereinsatz und Innengewinde so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß der ringförmige Abschnitt des Fixiereinsatzes nicht nach innen über den rohrförmigen Abschnitt übersteht.According to one embodiment of the invention closes in the assembled state of closure system and container the container facing side of the annular portion of the Fixiereinsatzes screwed in the locking ring state approximately flush with a free end of the tubular portion of the locking ring. The free end of the tubular portion of the Locking ring is facing the container interior. The approximately flush conclusion, the formation of a depression in the area of the fixing insert and the tubular portion is avoided, which in turn favors the emptying. About flush means that with respect to the length of the tubular portion of the annular portion of the fixing insert or the free end of the tubular portion projects only slightly beyond the other part. The actually resulting situation in the screwed state is dependent on the thickness of the attachment approach, so that slight deviations from a completely flush termination can occur. Preferably, fixing insert and internal thread are coordinated so that the annular portion of the fixing insert does not protrude inwardly beyond the tubular portion.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine im zusammengesetzten Zustand von Verschlußsystem und Behälter dem Behälter zugewandte Seite des ringförmigen Abschnitts des Fixiereinsatzes zur Durchgangsöffnung hin in Richtung zu dem Mundstück geneigt. Die zum Mundstück hinführende Neigung erleichtert das vollständige Entleeren des Behälters.According to one embodiment of the invention, in the assembled state of the closure system and the container, the container side facing the annular portion of the fixation insert is inclined towards the passage opening in the direction of the mouthpiece. The inclination leading to the mouthpiece facilitates the complete emptying of the container.

In einer Ausgestaltung sind das Innengewinde des Verschlußrings und das Außengewinde des Fixiereinsatzes so ausgeführt, daß ein vollständiges Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes ein bis zwei Umdrehungen erfordert. Bevorzugt sind 1,5 Umdrehungen erforderlich. Dadurch kann das Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes mehr oder weniger mit einer einzigen Handbewegung erfolgen, während ausreichend Spielraum für unterschiedlich dicke Befestigungsansätze verbleibt.In one embodiment, the internal thread of the locking ring and the external thread of the fixing insert are designed so that a complete screwing in the fixation insert requires one to two revolutions. Preferably, 1.5 turns are required. As a result, the screwing in of the fixing insert can be done more or less with a single hand movement, while leaving sufficient clearance for fastening attachments of different thicknesses.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist das Befestigungsmittel des Verschlußrings ein weiteres Innengewinde, das mit einem Außengewindes des Behälterrandes zusammenwirkt. Durch die Schraubverbindung kann der Verschlußring besonders einfach und gut dichtend an dem Behälterrand befestigt werden. Insbesondere kann ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Verschlußrings von dem Behälterrand beim Trinken sicherer verhindert werden, als bei einem Schnappverschluß.In one embodiment, the fastening means of the locking ring is another internal thread which cooperates with an external thread of the container edge. By screwing the locking ring can be attached to the container edge particularly simple and good sealing. In particular, unintentional release of the locking ring from the container rim when drinking safer to be prevented than with a snap closure.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist ein Blinddeckel vorgesehen, der eine Öffnung des Verschlußsystems verschließt. Der Blinddeckel kann in die Öffnung des Verschlußrings und/oder in die Durchgangsöffnung des Fixiereinsatzes einsetzbar sein. Der Blindeckel kann einen Befestigungsansatz aufweisen, der zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz und dem Verschlußring durch Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes in den Verschlußring eingeklemmt werden kann. Der Blinddeckel kann eine umlaufende Rastnase aufweisen, die den Blinddeckel in der jeweiligen Öffnung hält und dadurch das Einschrauben des Fixiereinsatzes bei Verwendung des Blinddeckels vereinfacht. Dabei kann der Blinddeckel anstelle des Mundstücks in die Öffnung des Verschlußrings eingesetzt werden, oder zusätzlich zu dem Mundstück, wenn er in die Durchgangöffnung des Fixiereinsatzes eingesetzt wird. In beiden Fällen wird die Kindertrinkflasche oder der Kindertrinkbecher dichtend verschlossen, beispielsweise zu Transportzwecken oder zur Aufbewahrung kohlensäurehaltiger Getränke.In one embodiment, a blind cover is provided which closes an opening of the closure system. The blind cover can be used in the opening of the locking ring and / or in the passage opening of the fixing insert. The blind cover may have a fastening lug which can be clamped between the fixation insert and the locking ring by screwing the fixing insert into the locking ring. The blind cover may have a circumferential locking lug which holds the blind cover in the respective opening and thereby simplifies the screwing in of the fixing insert when using the blind cover. In this case, the blind cover can be used instead of the mouthpiece in the opening of the locking ring, or in addition to the mouthpiece when it is inserted into the passage opening of the fixing insert. In both cases, the children's drinking bottle or child drinking cup is sealed, for example for transport purposes or for storing carbonated drinks.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung umfaßt das Verschlußsystem ein Mundstück, das eine Trinköffnung und einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist und in die Öffnung des Verschlußrings einsetzbar ist.According to one embodiment, the closure system comprises a mouthpiece, which has a drinking opening and a fastening portion and can be inserted into the opening of the locking ring.

Bevorzugt ist das Mundstück ein Trinksauger oder eine Trinktülle. Es kann dadurch sowohl für Säuglinge als auch für ältere Kleinkinder verwendet werden.Preferably, the mouthpiece is a teat or a drinking spout. It can be used for both infants and older toddlers.

In einer Ausgestaltung weist das Mundstück ein axial verschiebliches Verschlußelement auf, das die Trinköffnung in einer ersten Position dichtend verschließt und in einer zweiten Position freigibt. Derartige Mundstücke sind als in einen schraubbaren Flaschenverschluß integrierte Mundstücke beispielsweise aus der Schweizer Patentschrift CH 681075 A5 bekannt. Durch das axial verschiebliche Verschlußelement ist ein einfaches Öffnen und Verschließen der Öffnung in dem Mundstück möglich, insbesondere mit dem Mund bzw. den Zähnen.In one embodiment, the mouthpiece has an axially displaceable closure element, which sealingly seals the drinking opening in a first position and releases it in a second position. Such mouthpieces are as integrated into a screw-cap bottle closure mouthpieces, for example, from the Swiss patent CH 681075 A5 known. Due to the axially displaceable closure element, a simple opening and closing of the opening in the mouthpiece is possible, in particular with the mouth or the teeth.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist das Verschlußelement einen umlaufenden Wulst auf. Der umlaufende Wulst ist bevorzugt am dem Benutzer zugewandten Ende des Mundstücks angeordnet und fest mit dem axial verschieblichen Verschlußelement verbunden. Der Wulst erleichtert das Verschieben des Verschlußelements mit dem Mund oder den Zähnen.In a further embodiment, the closure element has a circumferential bead. The circumferential bead is preferably arranged on the user-facing end of the mouthpiece and fixedly connected to the axially displaceable closure element. The bead facilitates the displacement of the closure element with the mouth or teeth.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist das Verschlußelement im wesentlichen röhrenförmig ausgebildet und das Mundstück weist einen Zapfen auf, der in der ersten Position in einen Längsabschnitt des Verschlußelements eingreift. Durch das Eingreifen des Zapfens in das Verschlußelement wird die Trinköffnung in der ersten Position verschlossen. Das im wesentlichen röhrenförmige Verschlußelement kann einen gleichmäßigen Innendurchmesser oder einen variablen Innendurchmesser aufweisen. Bevorzugt ist der Innendurchmesser des Verschlußelements variabel, und das Verschlußelement weist an seinem dem Benutzer zugewandten Ende einen Innendurchmesser auf, der auf den Außendurchmesser des Zapfens abgestimmt ist. Bei einem Zapfen mit gleichmäßigen Außendurchmesser kann der Innendurchmesser des Verschlußelements in einem weiter zur Flasche hin angeordneten Abschnitt gegenüber dem auf dcn Durchmesser des Zapfens abgestimmten Längsabschnitt vergrößert sein, so daß die Flüssigkeit in der zweiten Position des Verschlußelements durch den Abschnitt mit dem vergrößerten Innendurchmesser um den Zapfen herumströmen kann. In dieser zweiten Position greift der Zapfen nicht in den Längsabschnitt mit dem auf den Zapfen abgestimmten Innendurchmesser ein. Die Konstruktion mit einem Zapfen und einem im wesentlichen röhrenförmigen Verschlußelement ist besonders einfach und erreicht eine zuverlässige Abdichtung der Trinköffnung im geschlossenen Zustand.In one embodiment, the closure element is formed substantially tubular and the mouthpiece has a pin which in the first position engages in a longitudinal portion of the closure element. By engaging the pin in the closure element, the drinking opening is closed in the first position. The substantially tubular closure member may have a uniform inner diameter or a variable inner diameter. Preferably, the inner diameter of the closure element is variable, and the closure element has at its end facing the user an inner diameter which is matched to the outer diameter of the pin. In a pin having a uniform outer diameter, the inner diameter of the closure member may be increased in a further towards the bottle portion opposite to the dcn diameter of the pin matched longitudinal portion, so that the liquid in the second position of the closure member by the portion with the enlarged inner diameter to the Spigot can flow around. In this second position, the pin does not engage in the longitudinal section with the matched to the pin inner diameter. The construction with a pin and a substantially tubular closure element is particularly simple and achieves a reliable sealing of the drinking opening in the closed state.

Die oben genannte Aufgabe wird ebenfalls gelöst durch die Kindertrinkflasche oder den Kindertrinkbecher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den sich anschließenden Unteransprüchen angegeben. Die erfindungsgemäße Kindertrinkflasche oder der erfindungsgemäße Kindertrinkbecher weist einen Behälter auf, der eine Behälteröffnung und einen Behälterrand hat, und ein Verschlußsystem in einer der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltungen.The above object is also achieved by the child drinking bottle or the child drinking cup with the features of claim 13. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the subsequent subclaims. The child drinking bottle or infant drinking cup according to the invention comprises a container having a container opening and a container rim, and a closure system in one of the embodiments described above.

In einer Ausgestaltung ist die Kindertrinkflasche oder der Kindertrinkbecher zusätzlich mit einem Griffelement ausgestattet, das zwischen dem Behälter und dem Verschlußring eingesetzt, integral mit dem Behälter ausgebildet oder mit einem separaten Befestigungsmittel an dem Behälter befestigt ist.In one embodiment, the child drinking bottle or infant drinking cup is additionally provided with a handle member which is inserted between the container and the locking ring, formed integrally with the container or fixed to the container with a separate attachment means.

In einer Ausgestaltung weist die Kindertrinkflasche oder der Kindertrinkbecher zusätzlich eine Abdeckkappe auf, die lösbar mit dem Verschlußring verbindbar ist und das Mundstück abdeckt. Dadurch wird das Mundstück vor Verschmutzung geschützt.In one embodiment, the children's drinking bottle or the child drinking cup additionally has a covering cap, which is detachably connectable to the closing ring and covers the mouthpiece. This protects the mouthpiece from contamination.

Der Kindertrinkbecher aus Fig. 1 besteht aus einem becherförmigen Behälter 10, der von einem Verschlußsystem verschlossen ist. Das Verschlußsystem besteht aus einem Verschlußring 20, in dessen mittig angeordnete, kreisförmige Öffnung ein Mundstück in Form einer Trinktülle 22 eingesetzt ist. Die Trinktülle 22 wird von einem Fixiereinsatz, der in Fig. 1 nicht sichtbar ist, in der Öffnung des Verschlußrings 20 gehalten. Unterhalb des Verschlußrings 20 und ebenfalls im Bereich des Becherrandes ist ein Griffelement 24 angeordnet, das aus zwei Griffabschnitten 26 und einem die beiden Griffabschnitte 26 verbindenden Ring 28 besteht.The child drinking cup Fig. 1 consists of a cup-shaped container 10 which is closed by a closure system. The closure system consists of a closure ring 20, in whose centrally located, circular opening a mouthpiece in the form of a drinking spout 22 is inserted. The drinking spout 22 is replaced by a fuser insert, which in Fig. 1 is not visible, held in the opening of the locking ring 20. Below the locking ring 20 and also in the region of the cup rim, a grip element 24 is arranged, which consists of two grip portions 26 and a ring 28 connecting the two grip portions 26.

Weitere Einzelheiten sind besser in der Querschnittsdarstellung der Fig. 2 zu erkennen. Der Behälter 10 weist eine große, kreisförmige Öffnung auf, die sich bis zum oberen Behälterrand 16, der von der im wesentlichen zylindrisch geformten Behälterwand gebildet wird, erstreckt. Auf der Außenseite des Behälterrands 16 ist ein Außengewinde 12 angeordnet. Unterhalb des Außengewindes 12 befindet sich ein umlaufender Vorsprung 14, der einen Anschlag bildet. Der Verschlußring ist über ein am äußeren Umfang des Verschlußrings ausgebildetes Innengewinde mit dem Außengewinde 12 verschraubt. Zwischen dem umlaufenden Vorsprung 14 und dem Verschlußring 20 ist das Griffelement 24 fixiert. Unterhalb der Trinktülle 22 ist ein Blinddeckel 32 eingesetzt, der sich in einer Durchgangsöffnung des Fixiereinsatzes 30 befindet und gemeinsam mit einem Befestigungsansatz der Trinktülle 22 zwischen dem Fixiereinsatz 30 und dem Verschlußring 20 eingeklemmt ist. Dadurch wird die Durchgangsöffnung des Fixiereinsatzes 30 dichtend verschlossen, so daß keine Flüssigkeit in die Trinktülle 22 und durch deren Öffnung 34 auslaufen kann.Further details are better in the cross-sectional representation of Fig. 2 to recognize. The container 10 has a large, circular opening which extends to the upper container rim 16 formed by the substantially cylindrically shaped container wall. On the outside of the container rim 16, an external thread 12 is arranged. Below the external thread 12 is located a circumferential projection 14 which forms a stop. The locking ring is screwed to the external thread 12 via a female thread formed on the outer circumference of the locking ring. Between the circumferential projection 14 and the locking ring 20, the grip element 24 is fixed. Below the drinking spout 22, a blind cover 32 is inserted, which is located in a passage opening of the fixing insert 30 and is clamped together with a fastening extension of the drinking spout 22 between the fixing insert 30 and the closure ring 20. As a result, the passage opening of the fixing insert 30 is sealingly closed, so that no liquid can leak into the drinking spout 22 and through the opening 34.

Der in Fig. 3 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht gezeigte Verschlußring 20 ist ringförmig und hat eine mittig angeordnete, kreisförmige Öffnung 36. In der seitlichen Draufsicht der Fig. 4 erkennt man die relativ flache Bauform des Verschlußrings 20 und die an der oberen Seite des äußeren Umfangs stark abgerundeten Kanten.The in Fig. 3 shown in a perspective view, the locking ring 20 is annular and has a centrally disposed, circular opening 36. In the lateral plan view of Fig. 4 can be seen the relatively flat design of the locking ring 20 and the strongly rounded on the upper side of the outer periphery edges.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch den Verschlußring 20 in einer radialen Querschnittsebene, die in der Fig. 4 mit A-A bezeichnet ist. Die in der Figur links angeordnete Kante des Querschnitts begrenzt die Öffnung 36. Zur Verbindung mit dem Behälter 10 wird der Verschlußring 20 mit der bei 38 dargestellten umlaufenden Nut auf den Behälterrand 16 aufgesetzt. Dabei greift das Innengewinde 40 in das Außengewinde 12 des Behälterrands ein. Das Innengewinde 40 ist am äußeren Umfang des Verschlußrings 20 ausgebildet und dient als Befestigungsmittel für die Verbindung mit dem Behälter 10. Auf der dem Behälter zugewandten Seite des Verschlußrings 20 und weiter zur Mitte hin angeordnet befindet sich ein rohrformiger Abschnitt 42, dessen Außenseite 44 an den Behälterrand eines eingeschraubten Behälters 10 angrenzt. Beim Einschrauben bildet die Außenseite 44 eine Führung für den Behälterrand. An der Innenseite des rohrförmigen Abschnitts 42 ist ein weiteres Innengewinde 46 ausgebildet. Dieses dient zur Aufnahme des Fixiereinsatzes 30. Wie in Fig. 2 erkennbar, schließt ein in das Innengewinde 46 vollständig eingeschraubter Fixiereinsatz 30 im wesentlichen bündig mit dem unteren Ende des rohrförmigen Abschnitts 42 ab. Innerhalb des rohrförmigen Abschnitts 42 weist der Verschlußring 20 eine dem Behälter zugewandte Fläche 48 auf, aus der ein umlaufender Steg 50, der an die Öffnung 36 angrenzt, hervorsteht. Der Steg 50 bildet eine streifenförmige, umlaufende Kontaktfläche für das klemmende Halten des Befestigungsansatzes eines Mundstücks. Am äußeren Umfang des Stegs 50 geht dieser über eine konische Fläche 52 in die Fläche 48 über. Zwischen der streifenförmigen Kontaktfläche des Stegs 50 und der konischen Fläche 52 ist eine umlaufende Kante 54 ausgebildet, die ebenso wie die ringförmige Fläche im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Verschlußsystems gegen den Befestigungsansatz eines Mundstücks gepreßt wird. Das Innengewinde 46 ist sowohl von der Öffnung 36 als auch von dem weiteren Innengewinde 40, das das Befestigungsmittel für den Behälterrand bildet, beabstandet. Beide Abstände verlaufen in radialer Richtung. Fig. 5 shows a cross section through the locking ring 20 in a radial cross-sectional plane, which in the Fig. 4 designated AA. The left in the figure arranged edge of the cross section bounded the opening 36. For connection to the container 10, the locking ring 20 is placed with the circumferential groove shown at 38 on the container edge 16. In this case, the internal thread 40 engages in the external thread 12 of the container rim. The internal thread 40 is formed on the outer periphery of the locking ring 20 and serves as a fastening means for connection to the container 10. On the side facing the container of the closure ring 20 and further towards the center is a rohrformiger section 42, the outer side 44 of the Container edge of a screwed Container 10 adjacent. When screwing the outer side 44 forms a guide for the container edge. On the inside of the tubular portion 42, a further internal thread 46 is formed. This serves to receive the fuser insert 30. As in Fig. 2 As can be seen, a fixation insert 30 completely screwed into the internal thread 46 terminates substantially flush with the lower end of the tubular section 42. Within the tubular portion 42, the locking ring 20 has a surface 48 facing the container, from which a circumferential ridge 50, which is adjacent to the opening 36, protrudes. The web 50 forms a strip-shaped, circumferential contact surface for the clamping holding the attachment lug of a mouthpiece. At the outer periphery of the web 50, this passes over a conical surface 52 in the surface 48 on. Between the strip-shaped contact surface of the web 50 and the conical surface 52, a circumferential edge 54 is formed, which is pressed as well as the annular surface in the assembled state of the closure system against the mounting boss of a mouthpiece. The internal thread 46 is spaced from both the opening 36 and the further internal thread 40, which forms the fastening means for the container edge. Both distances are in the radial direction.

Ein Fixiereinsatz 30 für ein erfindungsgemäßes Verschlußsystem ist in der Fig. 6 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht dargestellt. Der Fixiereinsatz 30 weist einen ringförmigen Abschnitt 56 und einen Steg 58 auf. Der ringförmige Abschnitt 56 hat eine Durchgangsöffnung 60, die im wesentlichen kreisförmig ist. An drei in Winkeln von 120° voneinander beabstandeten Stellen sind kreisabschnittsförmige Vorsprünge 62 an dem ringförmigen Abschnitt 56 angeformt, die in die Durchgangsöffnung 60 hineinragen. Der Steg 58 überspannt die Durchgangsöffnung 60.A fixing insert 30 for an inventive closure system is in the Fig. 6 shown in a perspective view. The fixing insert 30 has an annular portion 56 and a web 58. The annular portion 56 has a through hole 60 which is substantially circular. Circumferentially shaped projections 62 are integrally formed on the annular section 56 at three locations spaced apart at angles of 120 °, which project into the passage opening 60. The web 58 spans the passage opening 60.

Dabei verläuft er mittig über die Durchgangsöffnung 60 und ist in Richtung der Längsachse des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 von der Ebene des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 etwas beabstandet, so daß er besonders leicht zu ergreifen ist. Die im zusammengesetzten Zustand dem Behälterinneren zugewandte Seite 64 des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 ist zur Durchgangsöffnung 60 hin und in Richtung zu dem Mundstück geneigt.In this case it runs centrally over the passage opening 60 and is slightly spaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the annular portion 56 from the plane of the annular portion 56, so that it is particularly easy to take. The in the assembled state of the container interior facing side 64 of the annular portion 56 is inclined to the passage opening 60 and towards the mouthpiece.

In der Draufsicht der Fig. 7 ist der Fixiereinsatz erneut dargestellt. Besonders gut erkennbar ist die Anordnung der kreisabschnittsförmigen Vorsprünge 62 und der mittig die Durchgangsöffnung 60 überspannende Steg 58. Weiterhin sind die Querschnittsebenen A-A, B-B und C-C eingezeichnet, die die Ansichten der Fign. 8 bis 10 angeben.In the plan view of Fig. 7 the fixation insert is shown again. Particularly well recognizable is the arrangement of the circular portion-shaped projections 62 and the center of the passage opening 60 spanning web 58. Furthermore, the cross-sectional planes AA, BB and CC are shown, which represent the views of FIGS. 8 to 10 specify.

In der Querschnittszeichnung der Fig. 8 entlang der in Fig. 7 mit A-A bezeichneten Ebene ist die leicht geschwungene und von dem ringförmigen Abschnitt 56 beabstandete Form des Stegs 58 besonders gut zu erkennen. Am äußeren Umfang des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 ist ein Außengewinde 66 ausgebildet, dessen einziger nach außen vorstehender Gewindezahn genau einmal um den ringförmigen Abschnitt 56 umläuft, wie auch in der Fig. 6 erkennbar ist. Die mit 68 bezeichnete äußere Kante des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 und die angrenzende, in der Ebene des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 angeordnete, streifenförmige Fläche 70 wirken in zusammengeschraubtem Zustand mit dem Befestigungsansatz eines Mundstücks zusammen und pressen diesen gegen den Verschlußring 20.In the cross section drawing of Fig. 8 along the in Fig. 7 AA-designated plane is the slightly curved and spaced from the annular portion 56 shape of the web 58 can be seen particularly well. On the outer circumference of the annular portion 56, an external thread 66 is formed, the single outwardly projecting thread tooth rotates just once around the annular portion 56, as in the Fig. 6 is recognizable. The designated with 68 outer edge of the annular portion 56 and the adjacent, arranged in the plane of the annular portion 56, strip-shaped surface 70 cooperate in the screwed state with the mounting boss of a mouthpiece and press it against the locking ring 20th

In der Querschnittsansicht entlang der in Fig. 7 mit B-B bezeichneten Ebene, dargestellt in Fig. 9, ist das Profil des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 besonders gut zu erkennen. Besonders deutlich wird die Neigung der Fläche 64 in Richtung zu der Durchgangsöffnung hin. Die den äußeren Umfang des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 bildende annähernd zylindrische Fläche 72 ist in der Höhe so auf die Länge des rohrförmigen Abschnitts 42 des Verschlußrings 20 abgestimmt, daß beide annähernd bündig miteinander abschließen.In the cross-sectional view along in Fig. 7 plane designated BB, shown in FIG Fig. 9 , the profile of the annular portion 56 is particularly good too detect. The inclination of the surface 64 in the direction of the passage opening becomes particularly clear. The approximately cylindrical surface 72 forming the outer circumference of the annular portion 56 is tuned in height to the length of the tubular portion 42 of the locking ring 20, that both close approximately flush with each other.

Fig. 10 zeigt erneut eine Querschnittsdarstellung des ringförmigen Abschnitts 56 des Fixiereinsatzes 30 entlang der in Fig. 7 mit C-C bezeichneten Ebene in einem Bereich mit angeformtem Vorsprung 62. Dieser ragt in die Durchgangsöffnung 60 hinein und dient zur Fixierung eines Blinddeckels, der in die Durchgangsöffnung 60 einsetzbar ist. Der nicht dargestellte Blinddeckel hat eine umlaufende Rastnase, die hinter den Vorsprüngen 62 eingerastet werden kann, um den Blinddeckel zu halten. Fig. 10 shows again a cross-sectional view of the annular portion 56 of the fixation insert 30 along in FIG Fig. 7 with CC designated level in an area with molded projection 62. This protrudes into the through hole 60 and serves to fix a blind cover, which is insertable into the through hole 60. The blind cover, not shown, has a circumferential latching lug, which can be engaged behind the projections 62 to hold the blind cover.

Fig. 11 zeigt eine Querschnittsansicht eines Verschlußsystems mit einem Verschlußring 20 und einem Fixiereinsatz 30, zwischen denen ein Befestigungsansatz 102 eines Mundstücks 100 eingeklemmt ist. Das Mundstück 100 hat ein axial verschiebliches Verschlußelement 104, das im wesentlichen röhrenförmig ist und mit seinem äußeren Durchmesser 108 in eine annähernd zylindrische Öffnung 106 des Mundstücks 100 eingesetzt ist. Der Innendurchmesser des Verschlußelements 104 ist über die Länge des verschieblichen Verschlußelements 104 variabel und weist in einem dem Benutzer zugewandten Längsabschnitt 110 einen relativ geringen Durchmesser auf, der auf den Außendurchmesser eines in den Abschnitt 110 eingreifenden Zapfens 112 abgestimmt ist. Durch das Eingreifen des Zapfens 112 in den Längsabschnitt 110 des Verschlußelements 104 wird die Trinköffnung in der dargestellten ersten Position des Verschlußelements 104 verschlossen. Unterhalb des Längsabschnitts 110 weitet sich der Innendurchmesser des Verschlußelements 104 im Bereich der Stufe 114 auf, so daß unterhalb der Stufe 114 ein Spalt 116 zwischen dem Zapfen 112 und der inneren Wandung des Verschlußelements 104 ausgebildet ist. An dem dem Benutzer zugewandten Ende des Verschlußelements 104 befindet sich außen ein umlaufender Wulst 124, der ungefähr auf Höhe des Längsabschnitts 110 angeordnet ist. Fig. 11 shows a cross-sectional view of a closure system with a locking ring 20 and a fixing insert 30, between which a mounting lug 102 of a mouthpiece 100 is clamped. The mouthpiece 100 has an axially displaceable closure element 104, which is substantially tubular and is inserted with its outer diameter 108 into an approximately cylindrical opening 106 of the mouthpiece 100. The inner diameter of the closure member 104 is variable over the length of the sliding closure member 104 and has a relatively small diameter in a longitudinal portion 110 facing the user, which is tuned to the outer diameter of a pin 112 engaging the portion 110. By engaging the pin 112 in the longitudinal section 110 of the closure element 104, the drinking opening is closed in the illustrated first position of the closure element 104. Below of the longitudinal section 110, the inner diameter of the closure element 104 widens in the region of the step 114, so that below the step 114 a gap 116 is formed between the journal 112 and the inner wall of the closure element 104. At the end of the closure element 104 facing the user, there is a circumferential bead 124 on the outside, which is arranged approximately at the level of the longitudinal section 110.

Der Befestigungsabschnitt 102 des Mundstücks 100 weist eine sich radial nach außen verringernde Dicke auf. Eine Stufe 118 trennt zwei Bereiche unterschiedlicher Dicke voneinander. Eine dem Befestigungsansatz 102 zugewandte Kontaktfläche 120 des Verschlußrings wird beim Einklemmen des Mundstücks 100 zwischen Verschlußring 20 und Fixiereinsatz 30 gegen den in radialer Richtung innen von der Stufe 118 angeordneten, dickeren Abschnitt des Befestigungsansatzes 102 gepreßt. Eine obere Kontaktfläche 122 des Fixiereinsatzes greift hingegen im Bereich des außerhalb von der Stufe 118 angeordneten, dünneren Abschnitts des Befestigungsflansches 102 an.The attachment portion 102 of the mouthpiece 100 has a radially outwardly decreasing thickness. A step 118 separates two areas of different thickness from each other. A fastening surface 102 facing the contact surface 120 of the locking ring is pressed when clamping the mouthpiece 100 between the locking ring 20 and fuser 30 against the inside radially of the step 118 arranged thicker portion of the mounting boss 102. By contrast, an upper contact surface 122 of the fixing insert engages in the region of the thinner section of the fastening flange 102 arranged outside the step 118.

Das axial verschiebliche Verschlußelement 104 ist in einem annähernd zylindrischen Gehäuseabschnitt 126 des Mundstücks 100 gerührt. Dieser Gehäuseabschnitt 126 ist am unteren Ende mit dem unteren Ende des Zapfens 112 über zwei Stege 127 verbunden. Weiterhin ist der Gehäuseabschnitt 126 über einen gewölbt-konischen Gehäuseabschnitt 128, der sich aus der äußeren Fläche des Gehäuseabschnitts 126 erstreckt, und einen weiteren, im wesentlichen zylindrischen Gehäuseabschnitt 129 mit dem Befestigungsansatz 102 verbunden.The axially displaceable closure element 104 is stirred in an approximately cylindrical housing section 126 of the mouthpiece 100. This housing portion 126 is connected at the lower end to the lower end of the pin 112 via two webs 127. Furthermore, the housing portion 126 via a curved-conical housing portion 128 which extends from the outer surface of the housing portion 126, and another, substantially cylindrical housing portion 129 is connected to the mounting boss 102.
