Definitions
- the present solution relates to a cap for a food package.
- the present solution relates to a cap being capable of cutting off a membrane sealing an end of an associated spout.
- Food packages are generally provided with an opening device in order to facilitate discharging of the enclosed food product.
- the opening device may either be an irreversible opening, i.e. once the package is opened it may not be closed again, or a recloseable opening device. In order to extend the shelf-life and quality of the food product the latter is often desired.
- a common way of providing a recloseable opening device is to arrange a threaded neck including a pouring spout on the upper part of the package.
- the threaded neck is designed such that it may receive a cap, including internal threads, such that the cap is capable of being unscrewed from the neck. Since the cap covers the open spout of the neck, the enclosed food product is protected from the outer environment and the quality of the product may thus be preserved during some time.
- WO201 1 144569 a solution is described in which the spout is provided with a membrane.
- the membrane which initially is connected to the spout leaving the spout perfectly closed, is cut from the spout during an opening action, i.e. when the cap is unscrewed from the neck.
- WO2014202518 describes a cap having cutting elements projecting radially inwards. Each cutting element has a free end portion, wherein the free end portion is provided with a blunt tip and a comparatively sharper cutting edge on a lateral side of the free end portion.
- thickness K1 of the cutting portion may be, such that -Kl ⁇ K2 ⁇ -Kl.
- the axial thickness of the hinge portion may be between 0.3 and 0.5 mm.
- the number of cutting elements may be between 1 and 7. Their function is to cut off a membrane from a pouring spout on a packaging container. The cutting action will be readily performed with only one cutting element, but at least three are necessary to retain the membrane after cutting it off from the spout.
- the present solution is an assembly which comprises a cap mentioned in the beginning of this section and which has a spout with a membrane closing a tubular member of the spout.
- the tubular member may comprises a main body and an end portion releasably attached to said membrane, wherein the axial thickness (K1 ) of the cutting portion of the cutting element is between 200 and 400% of the axial length (L1 ) of the end portion.
- the membrane comprises a membrane flange with an outer portion extending radially outside the end portion of the tubular member.
- the axial length (L1 ) of the end portion is between 15-65% of the axial thickness (D1 ) of the outer portion of the membrane flange. In another variant the axial length of the end portion may be between 20-50% of the axial thickness (D1 ) of the outer portion of the membrane flange.
- the membrane flange further comprises an inner portion, where said end portion of the tubular member is attached to the interface between the inner and outer portions of the membrane flange, wherein the axial thickness (D2) of the inner portion is equal to, or less than the axial thickness (D1 ) of the outer portion.
- the inner surface of the inner portion of the membrane flange is arranged at an axial distance (H1 ) from the inner surface of the outer portion of the membrane flange.
- the membrane comprise a sealing lip protruding into the tubular member, wherein the sealing lip extends from an axial position being arranged at a distance (H1 ) from the axial end position of the end portion of the tubular member (1 10).
- the outer radius of the cutting portion of the at least one cutting element may corresponds to the outer radius of the sealing lip.
- Figs. 2d-f are side views of a cutting element according to various aspects
