Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metallic screw cap with a guarantee ring according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a kit for a closure cap for containers with a threaded neck or undercuts consisting of a metal cap with a bead arranged on the lower edge and an essentially z-shaped plastic ring.
  • the outward-facing edge of the plastic ring can be engaged in the interior of the bead of the metal cap and the plastic ring is perforated in the circumferential direction in order to establish a connection between the webs.
  • a closure in which an upper cap made of metal is welded to an externally threaded part of a bottle and a lower cap made of synthetic resin.
  • a composite material which is to be connected to an upper part of the bottle is connected to the inner surface of an upper surface of the top cap and at the same time a cylindrical part hangs from the peripheral edge of the upper surface.
  • the lower cap is injection molded using a die so that the lower cap can be connected to the peripheral edge of a projecting ring portion of the bottle.
  • the upper cap is then placed on the bottle mouth and the upper cap is finally closed with a threaded part of the bottle and a grooved part of the lower cap with a roller.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a metallic screw cap with a guarantee ring of the type described above and to improve. It should be possible to save material and a narrower design of the metal bottle cap. In addition, it should also be possible to realize creative freedom in the interaction of a metallic screw cap and a guarantee ring.
  • the inventive solution now provides a new type of plastic seal in which a circumferential groove is arranged, with a likewise circumferential bead ring of the newly shaped screw cap engaging in this groove.
  • the guarantee ring can now be made higher and, in its outward-facing extent, lies in an advantageous design at the level of the circumference of the lower edge of the beaded end of the screw cap.
  • the result of this is that the guarantee ring is also more noticeable on the outside, which also opens up new possibilities for making the guarantee ring more noticeable.
  • the screw cap can be made narrower.
  • the screw cap Even in its upper area, of course, the bottle shape and thread must still have the same width as before, but the bead edge forming the lower edge, in which the circumferential groove for the guarantee ring runs in the prior art, is now narrower because it fits into the Novel groove of the guarantee ring itself intervenes and not only serves as a receptacle for the previously common circumferential step of the guarantee ring.
  • the screw cap which was customary in the prior art was higher, for example about 15 mm, and the adjoining ring of the guarantee ring which was visible from the outside was only a few millimeters high, for example about 2.5 mm.
  • the height of the screw cap is reduced, for example to about 13 mm, and the subsequent visible ring of the guarantee ring is considerably higher, for example, about 5 mm, since it also has an additional ring section lying on the outside.
  • Another advantageous aspect is the lowering of the lower edge of the screw cap in the guarantee ring.
  • the guarantee ring with its circumferential, externally projecting step on the upper side, engages completely in the outwardly shaped shaped beaded edge on the lower edge of the screw cap.
  • the screw cap even on its lower peripheral edge of the bead edge must be smooth, so that when the bottle is opened and the screw cap is gripped around, no sharp edge or burr leads to injuries to the hand.
  • This web has advantages in particular when connecting the guarantee ring to the metallic screw cap, since it allows the upper ring section of the upper ring part to spring back when the seal is placed on the screw cap. In this way, the bead edge can be guided far inwards to the threaded neck, since the upper ring section engaging in the bead edge can be bent inwards around the web and then spring back into the bead edge.
  • the lower ring part of the guarantee ring is completely separated from the upper ring part via a predetermined breaking line between the ring parts when the screw cap is opened and remains below the shoulder below the thread on the thread neck.
  • a groove is arranged approximately in the middle in the upper ring part 11, which divides this upper ring part 11 into the structural sections of an upper ring section 8 engaging in the bulge 4 and an outer lower ring section 7 and a circumferential web 9 connecting both sections.
  • the shape of the upper ring section 8 corresponds to the shape of the surrounding bead 4 adapted in such a way that the upper ring section 8 fits into this beaded edge 4 and thus results in the positive connection between the guarantee ring 2 and the screw cap 1.
  • the lower section 5 of the circumferential bead 4 which engages in the upper ring part 11 of the guarantee ring 2 and the circumferential groove 3 there, is shaped in the expedient design shown here so that its course engages in the groove 3 following the course thereof.
  • the shape of the lower ring section 7 of the upper ring part 11 of the guarantee ring 3 is also adapted to the course of the lower edge 5 of the bead edge 4 and guides it and at the same time rests with its upper edge on this lower edge 5 of the bead edge 4.
  • the lower ring section 7 is formed so that it has approximately the same depth as the circumferential bead 4, so that the outer jacket of the bead 4 runs at the same level as the outer jacket of the outer lower ring section 7, whereby a harmonious overall impression and a smooth outer surface is formed.
  • the lower ring part 12 can be detached from the upper ring part 11 when the screw cap 1 is screwed on, since the projections 13 on the lower ring part 12 engage behind the shoulder provided as standard on the bottles below the thread and are thus supported on this inner abutment.
  • a force is exerted in the area of the predetermined breaking line 10, which leads at least partially to an opening of the guarantee ring 2.
  • the guarantee ring 2 can also remain on the screw cap 1 if detachment of the guarantee ring 2 is undesirable, for example because it has to be manually removed from the reusable container after it has been refilled, for example would be before this can be refilled and sealed again.
  • Figures 5 to 7 illustrate how the guarantee ring 2 according to the invention can advantageously be inserted into the screw cap 1 according to the invention.
  • FIGs 5 to 7 illustrate how the guarantee ring 2 according to the invention can advantageously be inserted into the screw cap 1 according to the invention.
  • the present design has clear advantages with regard to the insertion of the guarantee ring 2 into the screw cap 1, since here is a specific articulated one Connection exists, which, as described above, allows the actual upper ring section 8, which engages in the bead edge 4, to spring back.
  • the shape of the upper ring section 8 is also to be regarded as advantageous in that there is a sliding guide edge 14 with which this upper ring section can move along the lower edge 5 of the bead edge 4 in order to be inserted in this bead edge 4 in a resilient manner.
