Description

ASSEMBLY OF A CONTAINER WITH A CLOSURE CAP
The present invention relates to an assembly of a container, which is often filled with a medium, and which includes an opening on which a closure cap can be fitted.
The present invention also relates to a closure cap the space inside of which can be filled, if necessary, with a medium or an additive, the closure cap being intended for such an assembly comprising a container.
Such assemblies are generally known.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative, easy-to-use assembly which keeps the contents of the container and/or the cap sealed until the moment when the container is opened for the first time, and which then releases the contents for use or consumption.
To achieve this, the assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the closure cap
comprises :
- a rigid element at the upper surface of the cap, which, on one side, can be tilted about a pivot which is located in the upper surface or which extends parallel to said upper surface, and said rigid element is connected, on the other side, with a flexible member which causes the rigid element to tilt when pressure is exerted thereon, and
- an initially closed space, located below the upper surface, which is bounded at the end faces by at least the tiltable, rigid element to which an opening member
projecting into said space is secured, and by a seal which, when the rigid element is tilted, is cut by the opening member and opened.
An advantage of the assembly and the closure cap according to the invention resides in that by the simple exertion of pressure, the rigid element, located between the pivot pin and the tiltable flexible member, causes the rigid element and the opening member connected thereto to tilt. As a result, a cut is effectively made in the seal of the space in the cap, which may contain an additive, or the seal is broken by exerting pressure and finally opened. In this way, however, also the contents of the container is made accessible.
An embodiment of the assembly is characterized according to the invention in that the upper end of the opening member projecting into said space is attached to the rigid element near the location where the rigid element is connected to the flexible member.
By virtue thereof, when pressure is exerted on the rigid element, the lower end of the opening member performs a large slewing motion through a substantial angle. This improves the reliability with which the seal can be cut, as mentioned above, using the opening member which moves in a wide arch.
Further detailed, possible embodiments of the assembly and the closure cap explained in the other claims are mentioned, together with the associated advantages, in the following description.
The assembly of the container and the associated closure cap according to the present invention will now be explained in greater detail with reference to the figures mentioned below, in which corresponding elements are indicated by means of the same reference numerals.
In the figures:
Figures la, lb and lc diagrammatically show the steps that the closure cap according to the invention goes through to make a cut in the seal;
Figures 2 and 3 each show three respective,
corresponding view drawings and sectional views of possible assemblies according to the invention; Figures 4a-l through 5, 4b-l through 5 and 4c-l through 5 show different successive states of the closures caps according to the invention when going through the steps shown in figures la, lb and lc;
Figures 5a-l through 5, 5b-l through 5, 5c-l through 5 and 5d-l through 5 show different successive states of an embodiment of the closures cap according to the invention which is provided with a pouring spout;
Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 are detail views of the
closures caps according to the invention, at the location of the seal contained therein; and
Figures 10 and 11 show examples of possible further applicable tamper evidents on the closures caps according to the invention.
Figures la, lb and lc are diagrammatic sectional views of the principles applied in three embodiments of the assemblies 1 shown in figures 2 and 3, respectively. Each assembly 1 comprises a container 2 to be filled with a liquid or semi-liquid medium A and a closure cap 3 to be provided on an opening 4 of the container 2. The medium A may or may not be suitable for consumption. The closure cap 3, having a top surface V, comprises a rigid element 5 which is tiltable on one side about a pivot pin 6 which may be attached in a flexible manner in the top surface or extends at least parallel thereto. On the other side, the rigid element 5 is connected to a flexible member 7, which be in the form of a pressure-deformable cone. When a mostly manual pressure is exerted on the rigid element 5, the member 7 is caused to flip over and rapidly makes a tilting movement from the position shown in fig. la, via the position shown in fig. lb, to the depressed position shown in fig . lc .
Closure cap 3 also comprises, below the top surface V, an initially closed space 8, which is bounded at the end faces by, on the one hand, the top surface V, in particular the tiltable rigid element 5. The element 5 shown is L- shaped, and an opening member 9 projecting into the space 8 is attached thereto. On the other hand, said space 8 is bounded by a seal 10, which is cut and opened when the said tilting movement of the rigid element 5 with the opening member 9 connected thereto takes place.
By way of example, three embodiments of the assembly
I are shown in figures 2 and 3, in which the principle explained hereinabove is applied. A first embodiment is shown to the left in said figures, in which the initially closed space 8 is filled with a medium B, which could be a liquid or semi-liquid medium or a powder which, after the seal 10 has been cut, comes into contact with the medium A hitherto also isolated from the outside air. In this first embodiment, the tiltable, rigid element 5 comprises a pressure plate 5-1; by pressing down the shown left-hand side of said pressure plate, the opening member 9, which is also moving downwards, is made to tilt, thereby cutting the seal 10 and opening it.
In the middle of figures 2 and 3, a second embodiment is shown, which, like the first embodiment, contains a medium B in space 8 in the cap 3, but the second embodiment also comprises an element 5 having a pouring spout 11 in this case. If, in this second embodiment, the pouring spout
II is moved from right to left in these figures because, in this case, pressure is exerted on a shoulder 12 of the spout 11, the tilting opening member 9 flips downward and the seal 10 is cut and opened.
A third embodiment of the assembly 1, whose space 8 is empty, is shown on the right-hand side in figures 2 and 3, but when the seal 10 is cut in the manner described hereinabove, the medium A in the container 2, which in this case is suitable for consumption, can be consumed by squeezing the container in a simple manner. If the medium A is not suitable for consumption, for example if it is an anti-lice agent, it can be used directly. In order to prevent dirt and/or vermin from entering via the hollow pouring spout 11, the discharge opening may be provided with a tamper-evident part 13-1, for example a tear-off part, which is to be removed before use of the assembly 1.
Figures 10 and 11 show a further example of a tamper- evident part 13, such as the break-away parts 13-2 and 13- 3, which are used in the first and second embodiments, respectively, to preclude undesirable depression of the pressure plate 5-1 and to prevent that the pouring spout 11 with shoulder 12 is undesirably pressed at an angle. In order to intentionally perform said actions, removal of said parts is required, which, advantageously, is directly perceivable .
Figures 4a-1 through 5, 4b-l through 5 and 4c-l through 5, depict the successive, respective states of the closure caps 3 as they undergo the corresponding,
diagrammatically shown steps depicted in figures la, lb, and lc. These details are also shown with respect to the embodiments comprising a pouring spout 11 in figures 5a-l through 5, 5b-l through 5, 5c-l through 5 and 5d-l through 5. Figures 5d-l through 5 show the operating mode of the assembly 1 after the tamper-evident part 13-1 has been removed .
Figures 6, 7 and 8 show possible embodiments of the piercing end 14 of the member 9 in the form of,
respectively, a knife, teeth and a projection. These ends 14 can be advantageously co-formed, in particular if the closure cap 3, which is preferably made in one piece, is made of a material which can or cannot be 3D-printed or injection moulded, such as a synthetic resin. In figures 6, 7 and 8, a widened portion 9-1 of the opening member 9 is shown in detail. After the end 14 has opened the seal 10, inserting this part 9-1 through the opening in the seal 10 causes additional widening of the opening, which remains in this wider opened state. With respect to figure 8, it can further be noted that the opening member with its piercing end 14 may be fixedly connected to the seal 10, if
necessary. If so, by virtue of the connection between the end 14 and the opened part of the seal 10, said opened part of the seal 10 is advantageously maintained in the opened state, thereby preventing that the opening closes when the contents of the assembly is poured out.
It can further be noted that the end 14 initially opens the seal 10 by puncturing it, rather than by cutting or pressing it as suggested in figures 6 and 7. As a result of further tilting, part 9-1 causes widening or additional widening of the opening in seal 10.
Seal 10, as shown inter alia in figure 9, will be often a foil made, for example, from light metal, such as aluminium, or synthetic resin. Seal 10 may have been pre- weakened locally to enable cutting it with low force originating from the tilting movement of the opening member 9, whether or not in combination with the widened part 9-1. This allows, inter alia, for easy expansion of the opening in seal 10. In addition, intended cutting lines 15 in the form of thinned down materials in the material of the seal 10 may be provided. This can be achieved, for example, by partly cutting or depressing the material, using techniques which are known per se.
