Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure of a package, preferably a beverage can, wherein the package has a lid which has at least one eccentric, for opening the lid crushable outlet region with a predetermined breaking line, and further a cover is provided which relative to the lid a closed position is reversibly movable to an open position, and at the outlet region, a first contact surface is arranged, which cooperates with a counter surface arranged on the cover upon movement of the cover to press the outlet region into the packaging, wherein a second abutment surface provided is, spaced from the first contact surface on further movement of the cover relative to the lid also cooperates with the counter surface.
- Packaging with an outlet area can be found especially in container packaging, in particular for bulk goods and liquids. In such packages, it is often difficult to expose an outlet area.
- cans are known in which a lever has to be gripped to push an opening into the lid of the can.
- Other packages have tapes to remove a film.
- in resealable packaging are usually positive or non-positively acting lid.
- a closure of the type mentioned is in the US 5,692,633 discloses, wherein on a beverage can, a second lid made of metal is arranged, and over a bead in the first lid, a pressing of the pouring opening is achieved.
- a disadvantage of this design is that both the breaking of the predetermined breaking line of the pouring opening as well as the impressions of the pouring opening into the can takes place over this bead, so that here relatively high forces must be used, resulting in turn a complex, space-intensive geometry of the lid or the coverage results. It has also been shown that such solutions do not achieve complete exposure of the pouring opening, because the forces that occur do not press the pouring opening sufficiently far into the can. Other similar solutions can also be used WO 92/20584 A or the US 4,553,684 A be removed.
- This object is achieved by a closure of the type mentioned in the present invention, that the second contact surface on the outlet, area arranged and is designed as a run-up slope or as a survey.
- This solution according to the invention has the advantage that the first abutment surface is provided essentially for breaking up the predetermined breaking line, while the second abutment surface effects the pushing in of the outlet region into the packaging.
- the mating surface of the cover presses against a first abutment surface to force the outlet area formed on the package into the packaging.
- the described opening mechanism is particularly useful in a can, because the known from the prior art devices for opening a can are often not very user friendly. This concerns above all round cans for which the opening mechanism is particularly suitable, wherein it additionally has the advantage that the closure according to the invention is also suitable for reclosing the can.
- the closure according to the invention is particularly suitable for packaging, which have a cover made of sheet metal. In particular, for carbonated drinks are often used cans with a lid made of sheet metal, which are particularly easy to open with the mechanism described.
- first contact surface and the counter surface are preferably formed as chamfers, while the second contact surface is designed as a run-up slope or as a survey.
- a first abutment surface designed as a separating bevel enables the separation of the outlet region from the cover
- a second abutment surface designed as a pressure bevel allows the outlet region to be pushed into or swiveled into the packaging.
- the action of the counter surface of the cover on the separation slope in the outlet area ensures that the package is opened and the outlet area is pressed in a special area when opening the package in the package.
- the outlet region is pressed into the packaging via an interaction of the counter surface of the cover with a pressure bevel in such a way that a sufficient opening for emptying the packaging results.
- the outlet region has a surface with a slope that with a protruding element, such as a cam or possibly another bevel or leading edge cooperates the cover to apply high forces on the outlet area via the interaction of inclined planes. If the contact surfaces are punched in a lid of the packaging, this allows the contact surface in a simple manner to form any desired and provide special slopes for optimal power transmission.
- the outlet region is clearly delimited by a predetermined breaking line, so that upon opening the outlet region easily separates from the surrounding region of the packaging in order to be pressed into the packaging.
- the outlet area remains, for example, via a web with the rest of the lid in connection to be pressed into the package, without being detached from the rest of the lid and fall into the package.
- the counter surface of the cover is receivable in a recess in the lid.
- the recess advantageously has at least one run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the cover.
- the recess for receiving the counter surface of the cover is embossed in the material of the lid.
- the counter surface is first arranged in a recess in the lid of the package.
- a bias initially builds up in which the counter surface moves out of the recess in the cover and slides along the cover plane.
- the mating surface comes to the first contact surface, which protrudes from the lid plane.
- the bias voltage is further increased, so that when the mating surface abuts against the first contact surface, the outlet region is opened along the predetermined breaking line.
- At least one of the contact surfaces has a run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the lid of the package.
- the pressure on the outlet region can be increased slowly, preferably to a level which allows the packaging to be opened. It is advantageous here if the cover is arranged rotatably on the outlet. This allows it in the radially outer area To allow contact surface and counter surface interact with each other to use the resulting by the radius lever.
- the contact surfaces and the counter surface may have a run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the cover.
- the acute angle allows for a flat ramp that, like a gearbox, extends the path and reduces the force needed to push the outlet into the package.
- a particular embodiment provides that the counter surface causes a pressure on the outlet, which is directed at an angle to the displacement direction of the counter surface.
- the mating surface acts on the outlet region in such a way that the outlet region is pressed into the packaging in the direction of this pressure.
- the outlet region should not be pressed into the packaging in the direction of this rotational movement.
- outlet region is pressed, for example, radially to the rotational movement of the cover into the packaging.
- outlet regions known from conventional beverage cans can be pressed, for example, at least partially into the packaging by the pressure of the cover, in order subsequently to push the outlet region into the packaging in an angled direction for further movement of the cover relative to the cover.
- the cover is arranged to be laterally displaceable on the outlet region.
- the counter surface is formed in the cover. This allows a simple way to give the counterface a special shape that optimally leverages the leverage to push the outlet area into the package with minimal force.
- a special variant in a very flat construction provides that the two contact surfaces can be accommodated in a receptacle arranged in the cover. This allows the two abutment surfaces to protrude from a cover plane and be received in an area of the cover. By a relative movement between the abutment surfaces and a mating surface provided on the cover, a force acts on the outlet area to push it into the packaging. In order to also let the mating surface from the plane of the cover without significantly increasing the height of the package, It is proposed that a cover has a recess into which the counter surface extends at a certain position of the cover relative to the lid of the package.
- the receptacle is designed as a region with a reduced material cross section of the cover.
- the cover has a seal, which is preferably arranged between receiving and counter surface.
- a seal allows, for example, a reclosability of the package, especially when the package is filled with liquid media.
- the seal presses under pretension against a cover.
- the cover has a seal extending around an opening in the cover.
- the cover has a seal extending around a closure in the cover.
- the cover may thus have a closure and an opening, these areas being respectively surrounded by a seal. This allows easy pouring of media from the package as well as a secure closure of the package after the outlet area has been pushed into the package.
- Manufacturing processes such as coextrusion or multi-component injection molding, allow a gasket to be integrally formed with the cover. It is advantageous if the seal is made of a different material than the rest of the cover, because the seal requires a high degree of flexibility, while the remaining packaging requires a high stability.
- An alternative embodiment provides that the seal is arranged on a cover and cooperates with the cover or that seals are provided on the cover and cover.
- the surface of the cover facing away from the cover is designed essentially flat around the pouring opening.
- the risk of spillage is substantially reduced when drinking from a beverage can.
- contamination of the cover during storage can be easily eliminated and the packaging is also better stackable.
- a simple solution of the invention provides that the cover is attached to the lid of the package.
- the flanged edge serves to firmly support the cover on the cover and at the same time rotatably.
- An inexpensive production variant provides that the cover is made of plastic. This makes it possible to produce the cover in any colors and inexpensively in large quantities.
- the Fig. 1 shows a section of a package with a closure 1, wherein the package has a cover 2, over which a cover 3 is arranged.
- the cover 3 is fixed to the lid 2 such that a relative movement between the cover 3 and the lid 2 is possible (not shown).
- the cover 3 shown as a settlement is moved relative to the lid 2 underneath.
- the figures clearly show that in a packaging form other than a can, a lateral movement between the cover 3 and the lid 2 leads to the same result.
- the cover 2 has an outlet region 4, which is surrounded by a deeply scored predetermined breaking line 6 except for a web 5.
- This outlet region 4 has a first contact surface 7, which is formed as an inclined plane.
- a survey 8 is provided, which acts as a second contact surface.
- the cover 3 has a circumferential seal 9, which is arranged in a recess 11, wherein in the illustrated figures, the seal 9 is shown only on the right side, while on the left side of the seal 9 receiving groove 11 is shown.
- the cover 3 also has a mating surface 12, which in a first position of the cover according to Fig. 1 is received in a recess 13 in the lid 2, while the outlet portion 4 of the lid 2 protrudes into a receptacle 10 of the cover 3.
- the pressure of the mating surface 12 against the first abutment surface 7 causes the outlet region 4 to separate from the cover 2 in the region of the deep scored predetermined breaking line 6 and to be pressed down into the packaging.
- the force exerted by the seal 9 on the elevation 8 acts on the outlet region 4 in such a way that it kinks in the region of a material weakness 16 which is provided in the web 5.
- an outlet region 18, which is formed as an opening in the cover 3 enters the region above the opening 17 in the cover 2. This allows bulk material or a liquid in a simple manner from the packaging (open position of the cover 3).
- the cover 3 When reclosing the packaging, the cover 3 is moved in the direction opposite to arrow 15 until the counter surface 12 of the cover 3 is again received in the recess 13 of the lid 2, the cover 3 so again in the closed position according to Fig. 1 located.
- the seal 9 ensures that, despite the outlet area 4 projecting into the packaging, the contents remaining in the packaging can not escape.
- the opening 18 in the cover 3 may also be surrounded by a seal which, when the package is open, lies around the opening 17 and bears against the lid 2 on the edge of the opening 17. This prevents that leaking material from the packaging in the area between the cover 2 and cover 3 passes.
- FIGS. 5 to 8 an alternative embodiment of the invention is shown, wherein in Fig. 5 a package 20 with a lid 21 without cover located thereon is shown.
- the cover 21 has an outlet region 22 which is delimited by a predetermined breaking line 23.
- the outlet region 22 is only partially bounded by the predetermined breaking line 23 and connected via a web 24 with the rest of the lid 21.
- a material weakening 25 is provided, which makes it easier to press the outlet region 22 into the packaging 20.
- a separating bump 26 is provided which has a separating bevel 27 on its upper side.
- a pusher elevation 28 is provided, which has a pressure bevel 29.
- the separation slope 27 increases slightly from bottom to top
- the pressure ramp 29 increases according to Fig. 7 from right to left, while at the same time their height (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8 ) increases.
- the slope of the separating bevel 27 is thus arranged at right angles to the slope of the pressure bevel 29.
- a cover 31 On the right side of the Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 It is shown how the mating surface 30 of a cover 31 first acts on the parting surface 27 and then on the pressure bevel 29.
- the cover 31 is rotated away with a serving as a counter-surface 30 elevation over the lid 21, wherein the counter surface 30 initially acts on the separation surface 27, that the outlet region 22 ruptures in the region of the predetermined breaking line 23 and bends slightly downwards.
- the mating surface 30 engages with the pressure bevel 29 in order to push the outlet region 22 further into the packaging 20 by pressure on the pressure bevel 29. Since on the right side of the outlet area 22 in Fig. 7 a web 24 is provided with a material weakening 25, while on the left side of the outlet region 22 is an already torn break line, the outlet region 22 is pressed or pivoted obliquely into the package.
- the pressure bevel 29 in the pusher elevation 28 is designed in such a way that, due to its bevel when the cover 31 rotates further relative to the cover 21, the mating surface 30 presses the pressure surface 29 and thus the outlet region 22 farther into the packaging 20.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluss einer Verpackung, vorzugsweise einer Getränkedose, wobei die Verpackung einen Deckel aufweist, der über zumindest einen außermittigen, zum Öffnen des Deckels eindrückbaren Auslassbereich mit einer Sollbruchlinie verfügt, und des weiteren eine Abdeckung vorgesehen ist, die relativ zu dem Deckel aus einer Geschlossen-Position in eine Geöffnet-Position reversibel bewegbar ist, sowie am Auslassbereich eine erste Anlagefläche angeordnet ist, die mit einer an der Abdeckung angeordneten Gegenfläche bei Bewegung der Abdeckung zusammenwirkt, um den Auslassbereich in die Verpackung zu drücken, wobei eine zweite Anlagefläche vorgesehen ist, die beabstandet von der ersten Anlagefläche bei Weiterbewegung der Abdeckung relativ zum Deckel ebenfalls mit der Gegenfläche zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a closure of a package, preferably a beverage can, wherein the package has a lid which has at least one eccentric, for opening the lid crushable outlet region with a predetermined breaking line, and further a cover is provided which relative to the lid a closed position is reversibly movable to an open position, and at the outlet region, a first contact surface is arranged, which cooperates with a counter surface arranged on the cover upon movement of the cover to press the outlet region into the packaging, wherein a second abutment surface provided is, spaced from the first contact surface on further movement of the cover relative to the lid also cooperates with the counter surface.
Verpackungen mit einem Auslassbereich finden sich vor allem bei Behälterverpackungen, wie insbesondere für Schüttgüter und Flüssigkeiten. Bei derartigen Verpackungen ist es häufig schwierig, einen Auslassbereich freizulegen. Als Beispiel sind Dosen bekannt, bei denen ein Hebel gegriffen werden muss, um in den Deckel der Dose eine Öffnung zu drücken. Andere Verpackungen haben Bänder, mit denen eine Folie entfernt wird. Insbesondere bei wiederverschließbaren Verpackungen finden sich in der Regel formschlüssig oder kraftschlüssig wirkende Deckel.Packaging with an outlet area can be found especially in container packaging, in particular for bulk goods and liquids. In such packages, it is often difficult to expose an outlet area. As an example, cans are known in which a lever has to be gripped to push an opening into the lid of the can. Other packages have tapes to remove a film. In particular, in resealable packaging are usually positive or non-positively acting lid.
Diese Verpackungen haben den Nachteil, dass sie entweder aufwändig in der Herstellung sind oder die Verpackung nur umständlich oder aufwändig zu öffnen ist.These packages have the disadvantage that they are either expensive to produce or the packaging is only cumbersome or expensive to open.
Ein Verschluss der eingangs erwähnten Art ist in der
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, die oben genannten Nachteile des Standes Technik zu beseitigen, und einen Verschluss für eine Verpackung bereitzustellen, der auf einfache Weise zu betätigen ist und gleichzeitig eine weitgehende Freilegung des Auslassbereiches liefert.It is therefore an object of the invention to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and to provide a closure for a packaging, which is easy to operate and at the same time provides a substantial exposure of the outlet area.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Verschluss der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die zweite Anlagefläche auf dem Auslass-, bereich angeordnet und als Anlaufschräge oder als Erhebung ausgebildet ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Lösung hat den Vorteil, dass die erste Anlagefläche im Wesentlichen zum Aufbrechen der Sollbruchlinie vorgesehen ist, während die zweite Anlagefläche das Hineindrücken des Auslassbereiches in die Verpackung bewirkt.This object is achieved by a closure of the type mentioned in the present invention, that the second contact surface on the outlet, area arranged and is designed as a run-up slope or as a survey. This solution according to the invention has the advantage that the first abutment surface is provided essentially for breaking up the predetermined breaking line, while the second abutment surface effects the pushing in of the outlet region into the packaging.
Wenn somit die Abdeckung lateral oder rotatorisch relativ zum Auslassbereich im Deckel bewegt wird, drückt die Gegenfläche der Abdeckung gegen eine erste Anlagefläche, um den an der Verpackung ausgebildeten Auslassbereich in die Verpackung zu drücken. Dies erlaubt es, eine relativ einfach greifbare Abdeckung vorzusehen, um mit je nach Ausführungsform unterschiedlichen Hebelverhältnissen jene Kraft aufzubringen, die notwendig ist, um den Auslassbereich in die Verpackung zu drücken. Die beschriebene Öffnungsmechanik ist besonders bei einer Dose sinnvoll, weil die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Einrichtungen zum Öffnen einer Dose häufig nicht sehr benutzerfreundlich sind. Dies betrifft vor allem runde Dosen, für die sich die Öffnungsmechanik besondern eignet, wobei sie zusätzlich den Vorteil aufweist, dass der erfindungsgemäße Verschluss auch zum Wiederverschließen der Dose geeignet ist. Der erfindungsgemäße Verschluss ist insbesondere für Verpackungen geeignet, die einen Deckel aus Blech aufweisen. Insbesondere für kohlensäurehältige Getränke werden häufig Dosen mit einem Deckel aus Blech verwendet, die mit der beschriebenen Mechanik besonders einfach zu öffnen sind.Thus, when the cover is moved laterally or rotationally relative to the outlet area in the lid, the mating surface of the cover presses against a first abutment surface to force the outlet area formed on the package into the packaging. This makes it possible to provide a cover which is relatively easy to grasp, in order to apply, with different lever ratios depending on the embodiment, the force necessary to push the outlet area into the packaging. The described opening mechanism is particularly useful in a can, because the known from the prior art devices for opening a can are often not very user friendly. This concerns above all round cans for which the opening mechanism is particularly suitable, wherein it additionally has the advantage that the closure according to the invention is also suitable for reclosing the can. The closure according to the invention is particularly suitable for packaging, which have a cover made of sheet metal. In particular, for carbonated drinks are often used cans with a lid made of sheet metal, which are particularly easy to open with the mechanism described.
Hierbei sind die erste Anlagefläche sowie die Gegenfläche bevorzugt als Anlaufschrägen ausgebildet, während die zweite Anlagefläche als Anlaufschräge oder als Erhebung ausgebildet ist. Somit ermöglicht beispielsweise eine als Trennschräge ausgebildete erste Anlagefläche das Abtrennen des Auslassbereiches von dem Deckel, und eine als Drückschräge ausgebildete zweite Anlagefläche das Hineindrücken oder Verschwenken des Auslassbereiches in die Verpackung. Das Einwirken der Gegenfläche der Abdeckung auf die Trennschräge im Auslassbereich sorgt dabei dafür, dass die Verpackung geöffnet wird und der Auslassbereich in einem speziellen Bereich beim Öffnen der Verpackung in die Verpackung gedrückt wird. Um die Verpackung weiter zu öffnen, wird der Auslassbereich über ein Zusammenwirken der Gegenfläche der Abdeckung mit einer Drückschräge derart in die Verpackung gedrückt, dass sich eine ausreichende Öffnung zum Entleeren der Verpackung ergibt.Here, the first contact surface and the counter surface are preferably formed as chamfers, while the second contact surface is designed as a run-up slope or as a survey. Thus, for example, a first abutment surface designed as a separating bevel enables the separation of the outlet region from the cover, and a second abutment surface designed as a pressure bevel allows the outlet region to be pushed into or swiveled into the packaging. The action of the counter surface of the cover on the separation slope in the outlet area ensures that the package is opened and the outlet area is pressed in a special area when opening the package in the package. In order to open the packaging further, the outlet region is pressed into the packaging via an interaction of the counter surface of the cover with a pressure bevel in such a way that a sufficient opening for emptying the packaging results.
Insbesondere für das Öffnen des Auslassbereiches durch Herauspressen aus der beispielsweise in das Blech gestanzten Sollbruchlinie sind höhere gezielt aufzubrin-gende Kräfte notwendig, die auf einfache, Art und Weise über das Zusammenwirken mit einer schiefen Ebene erzielt werden können. Um besonders leicht gegebenenfalls auch höhere Kräfte von der Abdeckung über die Gegenfläche auf den Auslassbereich wirken zu lassen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Auslassbereich eine Oberfläche mit einer Schräge aufweist, die mit einem vorstehenden Element, beispielsweise einer Nocke oder gegebenenfalls einer weiteren Schräge oder Anlaufkante an der Abdeckung zusammenwirkt, um über das Zusammenwirken von schiefen Ebenen hohe Kräfte auf den Auslassbereich aufzubringen. Wenn die Anlageflächen in einen Deckel der Verpackung gestanzt ist, erlaubt dies, die Anlagefläche auf einfache Art und Weise beliebig auszubilden und spezielle Schrägen für die optimale Kraftübertragung vorzusehen.In particular for the opening of the outlet area by pressing out of the example, punched in the sheet predetermined breaking line are higher targeted aufzubrin-ing Forces are necessary, which can be achieved in a simple manner by interacting with an inclined plane. In order to possibly even higher forces from the cover on the counter surface on the outlet area to act, it is proposed that the outlet region has a surface with a slope that with a protruding element, such as a cam or possibly another bevel or leading edge cooperates the cover to apply high forces on the outlet area via the interaction of inclined planes. If the contact surfaces are punched in a lid of the packaging, this allows the contact surface in a simple manner to form any desired and provide special slopes for optimal power transmission.
Zudem ist vorgesehen, dass der Auslassbereich von einer Sollbruchlinie klar umgrenzt ist, damit beim Öffnen der Auslassbereich sich vom umgebenden Bereich der Verpackung leicht löst, um in die Verpackung gedrückt zu werden. Dabei bleibt der Auslassbereich beispielsweise über einen Steg mit dem Rest des Deckels in Verbindung, um in die Verpackung gedrückt zu werden, ohne sich vom Rest des Deckels zu lösen und in die Verpackung hineinzufallen.In addition, it is provided that the outlet region is clearly delimited by a predetermined breaking line, so that upon opening the outlet region easily separates from the surrounding region of the packaging in order to be pressed into the packaging. In this case, the outlet area remains, for example, via a web with the rest of the lid in connection to be pressed into the package, without being detached from the rest of the lid and fall into the package.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist die Gegenfläche der Abdeckung in eine Ausnehmung im Deckel aufnehmbar. Hierbei weist die Ausnehmung vorteilhafterweise zumindest eine Anlaufschräge auf, die in einem spitzen Winkel zur Ebene der Abdeckung angeordnet ist.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the counter surface of the cover is receivable in a recess in the lid. In this case, the recess advantageously has at least one run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the cover.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, dass die Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme der Gegenfläche der Abdeckung in das Material des Deckels eingeprägt ist. In der Geschlossen-Position der Abdeckung ist hierbei die Gegenfläche zunächst in einer Ausnehmung im Deckel der Verpackung angeordnet. Bei einer Bewegung der Abdeckung relativ zum Deckel baut sich zunächst eine Vorspannung auf, in dem die Gegenfläche aus der Ausnehmung im Deckel herauswandert und entlang der Deckelebene gleitet. Anschließend gelangt die Gegenfläche zur ersten Anlagefläche, die aus der Deckelebene hervorsteht. Dadurch wird die Vorspannung weiter erhöht, so dass bei einer Anlage der Gegenfläche an der ersten Anlagefläche der Auslassbereich entlang der Sollbruchlinie geöffnet wird.It is particularly preferred that the recess for receiving the counter surface of the cover is embossed in the material of the lid. In the closed position of the cover in this case the counter surface is first arranged in a recess in the lid of the package. During a movement of the cover relative to the cover, a bias initially builds up in which the counter surface moves out of the recess in the cover and slides along the cover plane. Subsequently, the mating surface comes to the first contact surface, which protrudes from the lid plane. As a result, the bias voltage is further increased, so that when the mating surface abuts against the first contact surface, the outlet region is opened along the predetermined breaking line.
Es wird beispielsweise vorgeschlagen, dass zumindest eine der Anlageflächen eine Anlaufschräge aufweist, die in einem spitzen Winkel zur Ebene des Deckels der Verpackung angeordnet ist. Beim Zusammenwirken der Gegenfläche der Abdeckung mit der Anlaufschräge kann der Druck auf den Auslassbereich langsam gesteigert werden, vorzugsweise bis zu einer Stärke, die es erlaubt, die Verpackung zu öffnen. Vorteilhaft ist es hierbei, wenn die Abdeckung verdrehbar auf dem Auslassbereich angeordnet ist. Dies erlaubt es, im radialen äußeren Bereich Anlagefläche und Gegenfläche miteinander wirken zu lassen, um den sich durch den Radius ergebenden Hebel zu nutzen.It is proposed, for example, that at least one of the contact surfaces has a run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the lid of the package. When the mating surface of the cover cooperates with the run-on slope, the pressure on the outlet region can be increased slowly, preferably to a level which allows the packaging to be opened. It is advantageous here if the cover is arranged rotatably on the outlet. This allows it in the radially outer area To allow contact surface and counter surface interact with each other to use the resulting by the radius lever.
Entsprechend der Formgebung der Anlageflächen kann auch die Gegenfläche eine Anlaufschräge aufweisen, die in einem spitzen Winkel zur Ebene der Abdeckung angeordnet ist. Der spitze Winkel erlaubt eine flache Rampe, die wie bei einem Getriebe den Weg verlängert und die notwendige Kraft verringert, um den Auslassbereich in die Verpackung zu drücken.According to the shape of the contact surfaces and the counter surface may have a run-on slope, which is arranged at an acute angle to the plane of the cover. The acute angle allows for a flat ramp that, like a gearbox, extends the path and reduces the force needed to push the outlet into the package.
Eine besondere Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Gegenfläche einen Druck auf den Auslassbereich bewirkt, der abgewinkelt zur Verschieberichtung der Gegenfläche gerichtet ist. Normalerweise wirkt die Gegenfläche derart auf den Auslassbereich, dass in Richtung dieses Druckes der Auslassbereich in die Verpackung gedrückt wird. Insbesondere bei runden Verpackungen, bei denen die Abdeckung als Drehbewegung relativ zum Auslassbereich verschiebbar ist, soll der Auslassbereich nicht in Richtung dieser Drehbewegung in die Verpackung gedrückt werden.A particular embodiment provides that the counter surface causes a pressure on the outlet, which is directed at an angle to the displacement direction of the counter surface. Normally, the mating surface acts on the outlet region in such a way that the outlet region is pressed into the packaging in the direction of this pressure. Particularly in the case of round packages in which the cover is displaceable relative to the outlet region as a rotational movement, the outlet region should not be pressed into the packaging in the direction of this rotational movement.
Für viele Ausführungsvarianten ist es daher vorteilhaft, wenn der Auslassbereich beispielsweise radial zur Drehbewegung der Abdeckung in die Verpackung gedrückt wird. Dadurch können von herkömmlichen Getränkedosen bekannte Auslassbereiche beispielsweise zunächst durch den Druck der Abdeckung zumindest teilweise in die Verpackung gedrückt werden, um anschließend bei einem Weiterbewegen der Abdeckung relativ zum Deckel den Auslassbereich in einer zur Drehbewegung abgewinkelten Richtung in die Verpackung zu drücken. Je nach Ausführungsform der Verpackung ist es jedoch für viele Fälle vorzuziehen, wenn die Abdeckung lateral verschiebbar auf den Auslassbereich angeordnet ist.For many embodiments, it is therefore advantageous if the outlet region is pressed, for example, radially to the rotational movement of the cover into the packaging. As a result, outlet regions known from conventional beverage cans can be pressed, for example, at least partially into the packaging by the pressure of the cover, in order subsequently to push the outlet region into the packaging in an angled direction for further movement of the cover relative to the cover. Depending on the embodiment of the packaging, however, it is preferable in many cases if the cover is arranged to be laterally displaceable on the outlet region.
Insbesondere wenn die Abdeckung aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Gegenfläche in der Abdeckung geformt ist. Dies erlaubt es, auf einfache Art und Weise der Gegenfläche eine spezielle Form zu geben, die optimal die Hebelkräfte nützt, um mit minimaler Kraft den Auslassbereich in die Verpackung zu drücken.In particular, when the cover is made of plastic, it is advantageous if the counter surface is formed in the cover. This allows a simple way to give the counterface a special shape that optimally leverages the leverage to push the outlet area into the package with minimal force.
Eine spezielle Variante in einer sehr flachen Bauweise sieht vor, dass die beiden Anlageflächen in eine in der Abdeckung angeordnete Aufnahme aufnehmbar sind. Dies erlaubt es, dass die beiden Anlageflächen aus einer Deckelebene vorstehen und in einen Bereich der Abdeckung aufgenommen werden. Durch eine Relativbewegung zwischen den Anlageflächen und einer an der Abdeckung vorgesehenen Gegenfläche wirkt eine Kraft auf den Auslassbereich, um diesen in die Verpackung zu drücken. Um auch die Gegenfläche aus der Ebene der Abdeckung hervortreten zu lassen, ohne die Höhe der Verpackung wesentlich zu erhöhen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass ein Deckel eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in die sich die Gegenfläche bei einer bestimmten Position der Abdeckung relativ zum Deckel der Verpackung erstreckt.A special variant in a very flat construction provides that the two contact surfaces can be accommodated in a receptacle arranged in the cover. This allows the two abutment surfaces to protrude from a cover plane and be received in an area of the cover. By a relative movement between the abutment surfaces and a mating surface provided on the cover, a force acts on the outlet area to push it into the packaging. In order to also let the mating surface from the plane of the cover without significantly increasing the height of the package, It is proposed that a cover has a recess into which the counter surface extends at a certain position of the cover relative to the lid of the package.
Bevorzugterweise ist hierbei die Aufnahme als Bereich mit reduziertem Materialquerschnitt der Abdeckung ausgebildet.Preferably, in this case the receptacle is designed as a region with a reduced material cross section of the cover.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die Abdeckung eine Dichtung aufweist, wobei diese bevorzugt zwischen Aufnahme und Gegenfläche angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Dichtung erlaubt beispielsweise eine Wiederverschließbarkeit der Verpackung, insbesondere wenn die Verpackung mit flüssigen Medien gefüllt ist.An advantageous embodiment provides that the cover has a seal, which is preferably arranged between receiving and counter surface. Such a seal allows, for example, a reclosability of the package, especially when the package is filled with liquid media.
Um eine gute Dichtwirkung zu erzielen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Dichtung unter Vorspannung gegen einen Deckel drückt. Um den Raum zwischen der Abdeckung und der übrigen Verpackung auch nach Öffnen des Auslassbereiches frei von austretenden Verpackungsinhaltsstoffen zu halten, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Abdeckung eine sich um eine Öffnung in der Abdeckung erstreckende Dichtung aufweist.In order to achieve a good sealing effect, it is proposed that the seal presses under pretension against a cover. In order to keep the space between the cover and the rest of the package free from leaking packaging contents even after the outlet area has been opened, it is proposed that the cover has a seal extending around an opening in the cover.
Kumulativ oder alternativ wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Abdeckung eine sich um einen Verschluss in der Abdeckung erstreckende Dichtung aufweist. Die Abdeckung kann somit einen Verschluss und eine Öffnung aufweisen, wobei diese Bereich jeweils von einer Dichtung umgeben sind. Dies erlaubt ein einfaches Ausgießen von Medien aus der Verpackung sowie einen sicheren Verschluss der Verpackung, nachdem der Auslassbereich in die Verpackung gedrückt wurde.Cumulatively or alternatively, it is proposed that the cover has a seal extending around a closure in the cover. The cover may thus have a closure and an opening, these areas being respectively surrounded by a seal. This allows easy pouring of media from the package as well as a secure closure of the package after the outlet area has been pushed into the package.
Herstellungsverfahren, wie beispielsweise die Koextrusion oder der Mehrkomponentenspritzguss erlauben es, eine Dichtung einstückig mit der Abdeckung auszubilden. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Dichtung aus einem anderen Material besteht als die übrige Abdeckung, weil die Dichtung eine hohe Flexibilität erfordert, während die übrige Verpackung eine hohe Stabilität erfordert.Manufacturing processes, such as coextrusion or multi-component injection molding, allow a gasket to be integrally formed with the cover. It is advantageous if the seal is made of a different material than the rest of the cover, because the seal requires a high degree of flexibility, while the remaining packaging requires a high stability.
Eine alternative Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Dichtung an einem Deckel angeordnet ist und mit der Abdeckung zusammenwirkt oder dass an Deckel und Abdeckung jeweils Dichtungen vorgesehen sind.An alternative embodiment provides that the seal is arranged on a cover and cooperates with the cover or that seals are provided on the cover and cover.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass die dem Deckel abgewandte Oberfläche der Abdeckung im wesentlichen eben um die Ausgießöffnung ausgeführt ist. Damit ist beispielsweise beim Trinken aus einer Getränkedose die Gefahr des Verschüttens wesentlich verringert. Zudem lassen sich beispielsweise Verschmutzungen der Abdeckung während der Lagerung einfach beseitigen und die Verpackungen sind zudem besser stapelbar.In a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the surface of the cover facing away from the cover is designed essentially flat around the pouring opening. Thus, for example, the risk of spillage is substantially reduced when drinking from a beverage can. In addition, for example, contamination of the cover during storage can be easily eliminated and the packaging is also better stackable.
Eine einfache Lösung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Abdeckung an dem Deckel der Verpackung befestigt ist. Beispielsweise kann bei einer Dose der Bördelrand dazu dienen, die Abdeckung fest am Deckel und gleichzeitig drehbar zu lagern.A simple solution of the invention provides that the cover is attached to the lid of the package. For example, in the case of a can, the flanged edge serves to firmly support the cover on the cover and at the same time rotatably.
Eine preisgünstige Herstellungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Abdeckung aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Dies erlaubt es, die Abdeckung in beliebigen Farben und kostengünstig auch in großen Stückzahlen herzustellen.An inexpensive production variant provides that the cover is made of plastic. This makes it possible to produce the cover in any colors and inexpensively in large quantities.

Bei einer weiteren Bewegung der Abdeckung 3 in Richtung des Pfeils 15 relativ zum Deckel 2 drückt die Gegenfläche 12 gegen die erste Anlagefläche 7, während die Dichtung 9 gegen die Erhebung 8 drückt (
Insbesondere der Druck der Gegenfläche 12 gegen die erste Anlagefläche 7 führt dazu, dass im Bereich der tief eingekerbten Sollbruchlinie 6 sich der Auslassbereich 4 vom Deckel 2 trennt und in die Verpackung nach unten gedrückt wird. Nach dem Trennen der Sollbruchlinie 6 wirkt die von der Dichtung 9 auf die Erhebung 8 ausgeübte Kraft derart auf den Auslassbereich 4, dass dieser im Bereich einer Materialschwäche 16, die im Steg 5 vorgesehen ist, abknickt.In particular, the pressure of the
Wenn die Abdeckung 3 weiter in Richtung des Pfeils 15 relativ zum Deckel 2 bewegt wird, gelangt die Gegenfläche 12 an die Erhebung 8, wodurch der Auslassbereich noch stärker abgeknickt wird. Dadurch wird eine Öffnung 17 im Deckel 2 erzeugt, die in der
Wird nun die Abdeckung 3 weiter in Richtung des Pfeils 15 bewegt, gelangt ein Auslassbereich 18, der als Öffnung in der Abdeckung 3 ausgebildet ist, in den Bereich oberhalb der Öffnung 17 im Deckel 2.

Für den Fachmann ist leicht ersichtlich, dass auch die Öffnung 18 in der Abdeckung 3 von einer Dichtung umgeben sein kann, die sich bei geöffneter Packung um die Öffnung 17 legt und am Rand der Öffnung 17 am Deckel 2 anliegt. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass aus der Verpackung austretendes Material in den Bereich zwischen den Deckel 2 und Abdeckung 3 gelangt.It is readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the
