Definitions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the lid is provided with a vent hole.
- 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.
- a special valve may be provided.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- a blind cover which closes the opening of the locking ring, sealingly clamped between the fixing insert and the closure lid become.
- 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 improved control option avoids liquid spillage due to leakage.
- 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.
- mouthpieces with different thickness attachment approaches can be securely clamped.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Beffletterrands 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.
- 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.
- the diameter of the internal thread and the container opening may be coordinated so that the tubular portion has a material-saving wall thickness.
- 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.
- the passage over-cutting bridge is particularly easy to handle and simplifies screwing the fuser insert.
- the free end of the tubular portion of the Locking ring is facing the container interior.
- 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.
- fixing insert and internal thread are coordinated so that the annular portion of the fixing insert does not protrude inwardly beyond the tubular portion.
- 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.
- 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.
- the fastening means of the locking ring is another internal thread which cooperates with an external thread of the container edge.
- 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.
- the mouthpiece is a teat or a drinking spout. It can be used for both infants and older toddlers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the substantially tubular closure member may have a uniform inner diameter or a variable inner diameter.
- 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.
- 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.

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
Die
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.
- 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
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.
