Definitions
- tubular bags which consist only of plastic film, on the market.
- tubular bags are common as refills for cosmetics.
- Tubular bags which are made of pure plastic films, usually either have no closure and for removal, only a portion of the tubular bag is cut away and the contents of the
- tubular bags are made of plastic, which have a flange with spout and attached to a pure screw. Since, as already mentioned, these tubular bags either only once or at least only a few times must be opened and closed, usually only screw caps are used.
- Plastic closures consisting of a lower part with a spout and a cap connected to the lower part via a hinge are available on the market in any number of variants, but their attachment to tubular bags is out of the question.
- Plastic bag made of plastic are highly flexible and act accordingly on this, during transport and handling relatively large forces that lead to deformation of the tubular bag and increase accordingly the internal pressure. Pure hinged closures are usually unable to withstand these forces. For safety reasons, therefore, only plastic closures of the type mentioned initially are usually used on tubular bags.
- tubular bags made of pure plastic film on the market, which should be suitable as a drinking container.
- This requires that such tubular bags are provided with a plastic closure, which are provided with a hinged closure for quick opening and closing, but which is adapted so that it can withstand even higher pressures, without in the process of losing grip.
- a plastic closure according to the preamble of claim 1 which is characterized in that the cap is directly schraubbeweglich connected to the spout connectable and indirectly pivotally held on the spout on and to fold.
- Plastic closure in closed condition Figure 2 shows a similar tubular bag with the same
- Figure 3 shows the lower part of the plastic closure cut in half and half side in the side view
- FIG. 4 shows the upper part of the connection according to the invention
- Plastic closure in the manufacturing situation shows, with the retainer ring cut and the cap is half-side in section and half side in the side view.
- FIG. 5 shows the plastic closure according to the invention in the opened state on its own.
- the plastic closure is designated overall by 1.
- the plastic closure 1 consists of a lower part 2, which is mounted on a tubular bag 4 and an upper part 3 which is connectable to the lower part 2.
- the tubular bag 4 shown here consists of a pure plastic film and is realized here as a tubular bag with a gable roof.
- the plastic closure according to the invention can also be applied to other tubular bags, irrespective of their shape and choice of material.
- the plastic closure according to the invention is suitable and designed for this purpose to be applied to tubular bags made of relatively highly flexible materials, to make sure that the closure does not open automatically even at high internal pressure.
- the tubular bag has a removal opening 5, which is stamped into the film of the tubular bag 4.
- the lower part 2 is correspondingly aligned so that it comes to rest relatively precisely over this opening and is either glued or welded on the film. If a welding connection is to be realized, then one provides the lower part with corresponding welding guide elements 24.
- an external thread 26 extends.
- This external thread 26 may consist of a single thread, which extends relatively flat and extends approximately 360 ° or from several shorter thread sections , which are designed steeper so that the same stroke is achieved with a smaller angle of rotation.
- the positive locking means 25 and 33 may also be reversed, as described above, that is, in the retaining ring, a corresponding groove could be mounted on the inside and on the cylindrical portion 22 of the spout 21 could accordingly a circumferential bead be present and also here this retaining bead could have a sawtooth cross-section. Since normally the wall thickness of the spout 21 is greater than the wall thickness of the retaining ring 30, but you will choose the arrangements of the holding means, as shown here.
- a recess 34 mounted in the cylindrical annular wall 32.
- the recess 34 diametrically opposite the outside of the retaining ring 30 is formed an attachment point 35 on which the aforementioned clamping band 31 engages.
- the tension band may additionally be provided with a film hinge 36.
- the clamping band 31 is in turn formed on a point of attachment 35 on the cap 40 and also here, a corresponding film hinge may be present.
- the cap 40 of the upper part 3 has a jacket wall 41, which may be designed purely cylindrical in principle, but here, for aesthetic reasons, something resembles the shape of the spout, is in a top surface 42 on.
- a top surface 42 On the inside of this top surface 42 can be seen on an annular, perpendicularly projecting wall 43, which is a seal, which in accordance with sealing on the inside of the sealing wall 29 of the spout 21 hineinzieuragen in the mouth 28 when the shutter is closed.
- This seal 43 is usually referred to in the jargon as a sealing olive. Corresponding is this arched on the outside or provided with appropriate sealing lips.
- the cap 40 is provided on the inside of the jacket wall 41 with an internal thread 48.
- the cap 40 becomes a screw cap, although the top part collectively forms a hinge closure.
- This hinge closure has a cap and designed as a retaining ring 30 closure bottom part, but the tension band 31 is connected to the cap 40.
- the upper part which has been produced as shown in FIG. 4, is first closed, that is to say that the cylindrical annular wall 32 of the retaining ring 30 comes to rest flush below the lower edge 47 of the cap 40, and becomes then placed on the lower part 2.
- the lower part 2 can already be welded onto a still empty tubular bag be or even placed with the already attached shell 3 together on the empty tube bag and glued or welded.
- the cap 40 is first turned, with the retaining ring 30 also rotating at the same time. During this rotational movement, the cap 40 performs an axial movement, while the retaining ring 30 performs no axial movement. Accordingly, the tension band 31 is completely stretched and tensioned.
- the inventive closure thus perfectly combines a conventional screw cap with a known snap hinge closure.
