- a disadvantage of this Investigationieschraubver gleich is the fact that a considerable effort is required to open, and that the opening of the InvestigationieschraubverBankes is not always immediately obvious. The opening is then immediately obvious if the entire warranty part has been completely removed.
- the object of the invention is therefore to form a more advantageous INFORMATIONieschraubver gleich whose opening is better recognizable and / or which is also suitable for closing short bottle necks.
- a warranty screw cap made of plastic for closing containers, comprising a circular head part with a perpendicular and concentric to the head part extending axis of rotation, and comprising a hollow cylindrical shell, starting from extends from the head portion in the direction of the axis of rotation, wherein the jacket has an inner side with an internal thread, wherein the jacket has at the opposite end portion of the head part a pivot member which is connected via a weak point with the jacket, wherein the pivot member on the inside a against the axis of rotation having projecting cam, and wherein the cam is arranged spacedly with respect to the weak point, and wherein on the opposite end of the head portion of the shell, a circumferentially extending to the axis of rotation web is arranged, which is connected to both the shell and with the pivoting part ,
- the guarantee closure according to the invention has a pivoting part which pivots during opening of the guarantee closure with respect to the remaining guarantee closure.
- the warranty closure has a defined, predetermined vulnerability.
- the pivoting part on a protruding cam which is arranged such that the cam rests during opening of the guarantee closure at some point on a counterpart on the bottle neck, for example, on the thread and / or on the guarantee band ring, hereinafter also referred to as annular bead, so that the pivot member pivotal movement performs.
- the pivoting part which protrudes obliquely in an advantageous embodiment in the open state with respect to the guarantee closure, can be easily recognized optically that the Informieschraubver gleich has been opened.
- the pivoting part is also connected in an advantageous embodiment of a predetermined breaking point with the jacket, wherein the predetermined breaking point is arranged and configured such that it breaks when first opening the Informieschraubver gleiches.
- the predetermined breaking point is arranged and configured such that it breaks when first opening the Informieschraubver gleiches.
- it can also be recognized in the state of the predetermined breaking point, whether the ISieschraubver gleich was opened.
- the weak point acts in particular like a spring, in that the weak point retains the resilient properties even after the pivoting movement has taken place and the pivoting part can pivot back substantially into the original position.
- the guarantee screw lock according to the invention is designed such that the pivoting part essentially retains the position assumed after the pivoting movement, so that in addition to the state of the predetermined breaking point, in particular clearly and simply by the pivoted and therefore protruding with respect to the Investigationieschraubver gleich pivoting part is clearly that the warranty screw cap has been opened.
- the weak point during the deflection is irreversible and thus permanently deformed.
- Isolieschraubver gleich is designed such that the pivoting part substantially retains the resilient properties after the pivoting movement and therefore strives to assume its original position again.
- the predetermined breaking point is geometrically arranged and configured such that it prevents a pivoting back of the pivoting part in its original position.
- the inventive Imieschraubver gleich also has the advantage that no loose guarantee strip remains at the bottleneck.
- the Expertieschraubver gleich therefore requires less material for its production and / or is aesthetically pleasing, since with the bottle open no separate part of the Investigationieschraubver gleich the bottleneck.
- a particular advantage of the inventive Imieschraubver gleiches is the fact that the guarantee strip is quasi integrated in the shell of the screw, and thus does not form a separate appendage.
- the pivot member is preferably arranged in the jacket, that this is formed as a part of the hollow cylindrical shell, so that the pivoting part forms a part of the surface of the shell, which can attack the fingers to open the Informieschraubver gleiches.
- This configuration and arrangement has the consequence that the outer jacket surface of the Investigationieschraubver gleiches particularly long in the direction of its axis of rotation can be configured because the pivoting part itself forms part of the outer jacket surface.
- the warranty screw cap according to the invention has a lower overall height than known warranty screw caps comprising the screw cap and the guarantee strip attached thereto. Therefore, the guarantee screw lock according to the invention has the advantage that the guarantee strip is quasi integrated in the screw cap, and that the guarantee screw cap therefore includes an opening guarantee at a lower height, the destruction of which is visually recognizable. Therefore, the inventive guarantee closure has the significant advantage that due to the reduced height of the InvestigationieschraubverInstitutes the total length of the bottle neck can be reduced, with respect to operation for the fingers substantially the same properties.

Die Druckschrift
Derartige Garantieschraubverschlüsse weisen den Nachteil auf, dass manchmal auf den ersten Blick nicht erkennbar ist, ob die Flasche bereits einmal geöffnet wurde. Derartige Garantieschraubverschlüsse mit Schraubkappe und Garantieband weisen den weiteren Nachteil auf, dass ein relativ langer Flaschenhals erforderlich ist, um die Schraubkappe angenehm mit den Fingern öffnen zu können.Such Garantieschraubverschlüsse have the disadvantage that sometimes can not be seen at first glance, if the bottle has already been opened once. Such Garantieschraubverschlüsse with screw cap and guarantee band have the further disadvantage that a relatively long bottle neck is required to be able to open the screw cap pleasantly with your fingers.

Die Aufgabe wird insbesondere gelöst mit einem Garantieschraubverschluss aus Kunststoff zum Verschliessen von Behältern, umfassend ein kreisförmiges Kopfteil mit einer senkrecht und konzentrisch zum Kopfteil verlaufenden Drehachse, sowie umfassend einen hohlzylinderförmigen Mantel, der sich ausgehend vom Kopfteil in Verlaufsrichtung der Drehachse erstreckt, wobei der Mantel eine Innenseite mit einem Innengewinde aufweist, wobei der Mantel an dem dem Kopfteil gegenüber liegenden Endabschnitt ein Schwenkteil aufweist, das über eine Schwachstelle mit dem Mantel verbunden ist, wobei das Schwenkteil auf der Innenseite eine gegen die Drehachse hin vorstehende Nocke aufweist, und wobei die Nocke bezüglich der Schwachstelle beabstandet angeordnet ist, und wobei an dem dem Kopfteil gegenüberliegenden Endabschnitt des Mantels ein in Umfangsrichtung zur Drehachse verlaufender Steg angeordnet ist, welcher sowohl mit dem Mantel als auch mit dem Schwenkteil verbunden ist.The object is in particular achieved with a warranty screw cap made of plastic for closing containers, comprising a circular head part with a perpendicular and concentric to the head part extending axis of rotation, and comprising a hollow cylindrical shell, starting from extends from the head portion in the direction of the axis of rotation, wherein the jacket has an inner side with an internal thread, wherein the jacket has at the opposite end portion of the head part a pivot member which is connected via a weak point with the jacket, wherein the pivot member on the inside a against the axis of rotation having projecting cam, and wherein the cam is arranged spacedly with respect to the weak point, and wherein on the opposite end of the head portion of the shell, a circumferentially extending to the axis of rotation web is arranged, which is connected to both the shell and with the pivoting part ,
Im Unterschied zu bekannten Garantieverschlüssen, bei welchen während des Öffnens des Garantieverschlusses ein Garantieband vollständig von der Schraubkappe abgetrennt wird, weist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieverschluss ein Schwenkteil auf, das sich während des Öffnens des Garantieverschlusses bezüglich dem restlichen Garantieverschluss verschwenkt. Der Garantieverschluss weist eine definierte, vorgegebene Schwachstelle auf. Zudem weist das Schwenkteil eine vorstehende Nocke auf, welche derart angeordnet ist, dass die Nocke während des Öffnens des Garantieverschlusses irgendwann an einem Gegenstück am Flaschenhals anliegt, beispielsweise am Gewinde und/oder am Garantiebandring, nachfolgend auch als Ringwulst bezeichnet, sodass das Schwenkteil eine Schwenkbewegung ausführt. An der Stellung des Schwenkteils, welches in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung im geöffneten Zustand bezüglich dem Garantieverschluss schräg verlaufend vorsteht, kann optisch einfach erkannt werden, dass der Garantieschraubverschluss geöffnet wurde.In contrast to known guarantee closures, during which a guarantee strip is completely separated from the screw cap during opening of the guarantee closure, the guarantee closure according to the invention has a pivoting part which pivots during opening of the guarantee closure with respect to the remaining guarantee closure. The warranty closure has a defined, predetermined vulnerability. In addition, the pivoting part on a protruding cam, which is arranged such that the cam rests during opening of the guarantee closure at some point on a counterpart on the bottle neck, for example, on the thread and / or on the guarantee band ring, hereinafter also referred to as annular bead, so that the pivot member pivotal movement performs. At the position of the pivoting part, which protrudes obliquely in an advantageous embodiment in the open state with respect to the guarantee closure, can be easily recognized optically that the Garantieschraubverschluss has been opened.
Das Schwenkteil ist in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung zudem über eine Sollbruchstelle mit dem Mantel verbunden, wobei die Sollbruchstelle derart angeordnet und ausgestaltet ist, dass diese beim erstmaligen Öffnen des Garantieschraubverschlusses bricht. Somit kann auch am Zustand der Sollbruchstelle erkannt werden, ob der Garantieschraubverschluss geöffnet wurde.The pivoting part is also connected in an advantageous embodiment of a predetermined breaking point with the jacket, wherein the predetermined breaking point is arranged and configured such that it breaks when first opening the Garantieschraubverschlusses. Thus, it can also be recognized in the state of the predetermined breaking point, whether the Garantieschraubverschluss was opened.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss derart ausgestaltet, dass das Schwenkteil nach der Schwenkbewegung dessen ursprüngliche Lage im Wesentlichen wieder einnimmt, wobei am Zustand der Sollbruchstelle erkennbar ist, ob der Garantieschraubverschluss geöffnet wurde. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wirkt die Schwachstelle insbesondere federartig, indem die Schwachstelle auch nach erfolgter Schwenkbewegung die federnden Eigenschaften beibehält und das Schwenkteil im Wesentlichen in die Ursprungslage zurückschwenken kann.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention Garantieschraubverschluss is designed such that the pivoting part after the pivotal movement substantially resumes its original position, wherein the state of the predetermined breaking point can be seen whether the Garantieschraubverschluss has been opened. In this embodiment, the weak point acts in particular like a spring, in that the weak point retains the resilient properties even after the pivoting movement has taken place and the pivoting part can pivot back substantially into the original position.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss derart ausgestaltet, dass das Schwenkteil die nach der Schwenkbewegung eingenommene Lage im Wesentlichen beibehält, sodass nebst dem Zustand der Sollbruchstelle zusätzlich insbesondere durch das verschwenkte und daher bezüglich dem Garantieschraubverschluss vorstehende Schwenkteil eindeutig und einfach ersichtlich ist, dass der Garantieschraubverschluss geöffnet wurde. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird die Schwachstelle während dem Auslenken irreversibel und somit bleibend verformt.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the guarantee screw lock according to the invention is designed such that the pivoting part essentially retains the position assumed after the pivoting movement, so that in addition to the state of the predetermined breaking point, in particular clearly and simply by the pivoted and therefore protruding with respect to the Garantieschraubverschluss pivoting part is clearly that the warranty screw cap has been opened. In this embodiment, the weak point during the deflection is irreversible and thus permanently deformed.
In einer weiteren, vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss derart ausgestaltet, dass das Schwenkteil nach der Schwenkbewegung dessen federnde Eigenschaften im Wesentlichen beibehält und daher bestrebt ist dessen ursprüngliche Lage wieder einzunehmen. Die Sollbruchstelle ist jedoch geometrisch derart angeordnet und ausgestaltet, dass diese ein Zurückschwenken des Schwenkteils in dessen ursprüngliche Lage verhindert. Somit ist sowohl am Zustand der Sollbruchstelle als auch an der Lage des Schwenkteils erkennbar, ob der Garantieschraubverschluss geöffnet wurde.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention Garantieschraubverschluss is designed such that the pivoting part substantially retains the resilient properties after the pivoting movement and therefore strives to assume its original position again. However, the predetermined breaking point is geometrically arranged and configured such that it prevents a pivoting back of the pivoting part in its original position. Thus, it can be seen both in the state of the predetermined breaking point and in the position of the pivoting part, whether the Garantieschraubverschluss was opened.
Der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss weist zudem den Vorteil auf, dass kein loses Garantieband am Flaschenhals zurückbleibt. Der Garantieschraubverschluss erfordert daher zu dessen Herstellung weniger Material und/oder ist ästhetisch angenehmer, da bei geöffneter Flasche kein abgetrenntes Teil des Garantieschraubverschluss am Flaschenhals verbleibt. Ein besonderer Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Garantieschraubverschlusses ist darin zu sehen, dass das Garantieband quasi im Mantel des Schraubdeckels integriert ist, und somit kein separates Anhängsel bildet.The inventive Garantieschraubverschluss also has the advantage that no loose guarantee strip remains at the bottleneck. The Garantieschraubverschluss therefore requires less material for its production and / or is aesthetically pleasing, since with the bottle open no separate part of the Garantieschraubverschluss the bottleneck. A particular advantage of the inventive Garantieschraubverschlusses is the fact that the guarantee strip is quasi integrated in the shell of the screw, and thus does not form a separate appendage.
Beim erfindungsgemässen Garantieschraubverschluss ist das Schwenkteil vorzugsweise derart im Mantel angeordnet, dass dieses als ein Teil des hohlzylinderförmigen Mantels ausgebildet ist, sodass auch das Schwenkteil ein Teil der Oberfläche des Mantels bildet, an welcher die Finger zum Öffnen des Garantieschraubverschlusses angreifen können. Diese Ausgestaltung und Anordnung hat zur Folge, dass die Mantelaussenfläche des Garantieschraubverschlusses in Verlaufsrichtung von dessen Drehachse besonders lang ausgestaltet werden kann, weil das Schwenkteil selbst ein Teil der Mantelaussenfläche bildet.When Garantieschraubverschluss according to the invention, the pivot member is preferably arranged in the jacket, that this is formed as a part of the hollow cylindrical shell, so that the pivoting part forms a part of the surface of the shell, which can attack the fingers to open the Garantieschraubverschlusses. This configuration and arrangement has the consequence that the outer jacket surface of the Garantieschraubverschlusses particularly long in the direction of its axis of rotation can be configured because the pivoting part itself forms part of the outer jacket surface.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss eine geringere Bauhöhe auf als bekannte Garantieschraubverschlüsse umfassend die Schraubkappe sowie das daran befestigte Garantieband. Der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss weist deshalb den Vorteil auf, dass das Garantieband quasi in der Schraubkappe integriert ist, und dass der Garantieschraubverschluss daher bei geringerer Bauhöhe eine Öffnungsgarantie umfasst, deren Zerstörung optisch erkennbar ist. Der erfindungsgemässe Garantieverschluss weist deshalb den wesentlichen Vorteil auf, dass wegen der reduzierter Bauhöhe des Garantieschraubverschlusses auch die Gesamtlänge des Flaschenhalses reduziert werden kann, bei bezüglich Bedienung für die Finger im Wesentlichen gleich bleibenden Eigenschaften. Insbesondere weist der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung eine Aussenmantelfläche auf mit derselben Höhe wie bisher bekannte Garantieschraubverschlüsse, wobei beim erfindungsgemässen Garantieschraubverschluss kein zusätzliches Garantieband erforderlich ist. Die Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen Garantieschraubverschlusses ermöglicht die Gesamtlänge des Flaschenhalses zu reduzieren und dabei die Gesamthöhe des Aussenmantels des Garantieschraubverschlusses vorzugsweise gleich hoch zu belassen wie bei heute bekannten Garantieschraubverschlüssen, welche ein zusätzliches Garantieband aufweisen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the warranty screw cap according to the invention has a lower overall height than known warranty screw caps comprising the screw cap and the guarantee strip attached thereto. Therefore, the guarantee screw lock according to the invention has the advantage that the guarantee strip is quasi integrated in the screw cap, and that the guarantee screw cap therefore includes an opening guarantee at a lower height, the destruction of which is visually recognizable. Therefore, the inventive guarantee closure has the significant advantage that due to the reduced height of the Garantieschraubverschlusses the total length of the bottle neck can be reduced, with respect to operation for the fingers substantially the same properties. In particular, the guarantee screw lock according to the invention, in a preferred embodiment, has an outer lateral surface with the same height as previously known warranty screw caps, wherein no additional guarantee band is required in the case of the guarantee screw cap according to the invention. The use of the inventive Garantieschraubverschlusses allows to reduce the overall length of the bottle neck and thereby preferably leave the total height of the outer shell of the Garantieschraubverschlusses same high as in today known Garantieschraubverschlüssen, which have an additional guarantee band.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen Garantieschraubverschlusses in Kombination mit einem Flaschenhals, der eine gegenüber herkömmlichen Standardflaschen reduzierte Länge aufweist. Da der Flaschenhals üblicherweise relativ dick ausgestaltet ist führt die Reduzierung der Gesamtlänge des Flaschenhalses zu einer erheblichen Materialeinsparung bei der Herstellung der Flasche. Derartige Flaschen mit verkürztem Flaschenhals sind Material sparender und daher kostengünstiger herstellbar.Particularly advantageous is the use of the inventive Garantieschraubverschlusses in combination with a bottleneck, which has a reduced compared to conventional standard bottles length. Since the neck of the bottle is usually made relatively thick, the reduction of the overall length of the neck of the bottle leads to a considerable saving of material in the production of the bottle. Such bottles with shortened bottleneck are material-saving and therefore cheaper to produce.
Der erfindungsgemässe Garantieschraubverschluss weist den Vorteil auf, dass dieser mit einem einfachen Auf-Zu-Werkzeug spritzgusstechnisch herstellbar ist.The guarantee screw lock according to the invention has the advantage that it can be produced by injection molding with a simple on-off tool.
