Definitions
- the invention relates to the lid of a container, in particular a beverage can, with a substantially flat lid mirror and a preferably folded edge region, wherein at least one resealable pouring opening is arranged on the lid mirror, with one of the pouring associated, substantially one-piece closure means, the whole the underside of the lid mirror is mounted rotationally and with an associated with the closure means and the lid mirror penetrating actuating means which is arranged accessible from the outside at the top of the lid mirror, wherein the closure means is adjustable from a closed position by actuation of the actuating means in an open position, and wherein the actuating means comprises a retaining member which cooperates with the lid mirror when the closure means is in the open position.
- DE 196 13 246 A1 discloses a closure means of essentially the same diameter, which is applied to the already existing lid and which closes a pouring opening located in the lid by turning. Similar devices, some of which are only partially covering the lid, are described in DE 196 13 256 B4, DE 197 06 112 C2, EP 1 247 752 Bl or US Pat. No. 6,626,314 Bl.
- a disadvantage of these closures is their usually complicated structure, which also requires constructive changes of the lid portion of the can.
- Another group of closure means for beverage cans consists of a pull tab, which is attached for example by means of a rivet on the can lid, wherein the handle portion of the pull tab is simultaneously formed as a closure means for the pouring opening, which after opening the pouring opening by twisting and / or folding the Pull-tab closes the pouring opening again.
- Such elements are shown inter alia in DE 197 46 539 A1, DE 203 19 105 U1, EP 1 190 952 A2, EP 1 097 086 B1 and EP 0 433 502 A1.
- These beverage cans all have a closure that is applied from the outside to the pouring opening and thereby partially protrudes beyond the edge of the lid, so that it can be removed unintentionally and thus the can content is exposed to the environment.
- GB 2 331 284 A describes a closure system consisting of a tear-open tab for exposing a pouring opening, and a closure means which is arranged on the underside of the can lid in the interior of the can, wherein a spring element presses the closure means against the pouring opening.
- a closure means which is arranged on the underside of the can lid in the interior of the can, wherein a spring element presses the closure means against the pouring opening.
- parts of the closure means have to be displaced against the tear-open tab.
- This closure means has the disadvantage that it is extremely complicated and requires a change of the usual can lid.
- a structurally somewhat simpler, likewise multi-part closure device can be taken from US Pat. No. 3,889,842, which likewise requires a lavishly modified cover.
- US 4,746,032 A and in US 345,695 A similar reusable closure means are described.
- a cover of the type mentioned above in that the closure means from the closed position is substantially perpendicular to the lid mirror in the open position movable and that the actuating means in the closed position covers the pouring opening.
- the actuating means covers the pouring opening in the closed position. This prevents that, for example, when transporting the re-sealed beverage can in a bag more in-bag items can move the closure means from its closed position to an at least partially open position and thus the can contents pour into the bag.
- the closure means on a fastening part, which is inseparable connection with the lid mirror, and a closure portion which closes the pouring liquid-tight, wherein between the fastening part and closure portion, a hinge is provided to the closure portion of the closure means against a Restoring force is pivotable, and the joint is formed as a located between the fastening part and closure region area with increased flexibility.
- This joint is in a particularly simple and inexpensive embodiment of the invention as a between fastening part and closure rich area formed with a smaller material cross-section. If the closure means is made of an elastic material, the closure means is folded away upon actuation of the actuating means, for which purpose a force corresponding to the elastic properties of the material of the closure means has to be applied.
- the preferably one-piece closure means By attaching the preferably one-piece closure means in a rotationally fixed manner, for example by gluing or soldering to the underside of the lid mirror, rapid assembly of the closure means on a commercial cover is possible, with little or no change in the lid, for example, a simple punched for the Implementation of the actuating means through the lid, are necessary.
- the edge region of the lid remains unchanged, so that placing and securing the lid on the container, in particular on the beverage can, can be done in the usual way.
- the actuating means is rotatable substantially in a plane parallel to the lid mirror. Alternatively, it is movable.
- the closure means is removed from the pouring opening, wherein it is preferably moved substantially perpendicularly from the closed position, in particular by folding into the can interior, on the other hand, the actuating means itself releases the pouring opening.
- closure means is designed as a two-component injection molded part.
- the actuating means associated with the closure means - may for example also be integrally formed with the closure means - causes upon actuation that the closure means from the plane of the pouring opening is folded away into the can interior, that is substantially perpendicular to the can mirror in the open position is movable thereby releasing the pouring opening and thus the can contents can be removed.
- the retaining element of the actuating means is advantageously designed as a latching lug for receiving at least one edge of the lid mirror in the open position of the closure means.
- the closure means is fixed in the open position and the contents of the can can be removed without having to exert an additional force on the actuating means.
- the closure means may be held in the open position by a latching hinge.
- the actuating means can be designed differently. So it is wedge-shaped in a preferred embodiment. The wedge surface can be formed straight or helical curved.
- the actuating means is disposed about its perpendicular to the lid mirror extending central axis rotatable on the surface of the lid mirror, wherein it acts upon rotation on the closure means, so that the closure portion is pivoted to the open position.
- the actuating means is designed as a lever projecting substantially perpendicularly from the cover mirror and having a latching nose.
- An improved sealing of the pouring opening by the closure means is provided if an additional sealing means is arranged between the closure region of the closure means and the lid mirror.
- This can be arranged for example on the pouring opening facing side of the closure means.
- it may be attached to the underside of the can mirror, advantageously enclosing the edges of the pouring opening to prevent injury from, for example, drinking from the can.
- the sealing means simultaneously forms the region of elastic material, thereby reducing the number of individual parts of the lid and thus according to the invention a higher stability of the closure of the pouring opening of a beverage can is achieved.
- an essential aspect, especially in food packaging, is packaging safety.
- this is understood to mean protection in which the content of the food packaging, in the present case the content of the beverage can, is protected against manipulation or removal until it is opened by the end user.
- the pouring opening is preferably sealed with a seal prior to the first opening.
- This seal is in the simplest case, for example, a badge or label that the pouring hole must be hidden and removed before the can contents can be removed.
- the seal is formed as a pre-punched closure tab, which is withdrawn during the first opening of the container and thereby releases the pouring opening in the lid mirror.
- the pouring opening is closed with the closure means before the first opening, wherein the actuating means has a securing insert.
- the actuating means may be provided with a label which at least partially covers the lid mirror, so that the label breaks upon actuation of the actuating means and thus indicates a manipulation of the container.
- securing device which has a predetermined breaking point, which is broken when first opening the container.
- a label as a securing means
- this may possibly be completely removed and reapplied to the container, without a glance at a difference to a pristine label being recognizable.
- a manipulation of the container contents would therefore not be recognizable at first glance.
- a manipulation of the seal can not be made unnoticeable again and is therefore particularly safe for the end user.
- a ventilation device is provided in addition to the pouring opening, which is closable together with the pouring opening by the closure means.
- This ventilation device allows a particularly simple emptying of the contents of the can without interruption due to negative pressure in the beverage can.
- closure means and / or the actuating means are made of plastic.
- the material used must be food safe.
