Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container closure for closing a container according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a container with such a container closure according to the preamble of claim 19.
  • Closure caps are known from the prior art in the field of plastic closure caps with a guarantee ring, which are captive on the container and close its pouring opening.
  • closure caps which have two retaining straps which connect a threaded part of the closure cap with a guarantee ring of the closure cap. The two retaining straps can act as a hinge around which the threaded part can be folded away from the guarantee or from the container to be closed.
  • Such a closure cap is known from EP 2 308 772 A1.
  • the retaining straps are C-shaped and each have a weakening at their center of curvature at which the retaining strap can be bent.
  • the Hal teb stands together as a hinge for the threaded part.
  • a protruding piece is formed which protrudes downward. In the unfolded position of the threaded part, the protruding piece comes into contact with the retaining ring of the container neck, which retaining ring holds the guarantee ring on the container neck.
  • the protruding piece holds the threaded part in the unfolded position and prevents the threaded part from being an obstacle when pouring out a product contained in the container.
  • the threaded part is a hindrance because it is in the way of the user.
  • US 2018/0370701 A1 discloses a closure cap which also has two retaining straps. However, the ends of the retaining straps are alternately connected to the Ga rantiering and the open edge of the threaded part, that is, the ends of the retaining straps, which are connected to the open edge of the threaded part and to the guarantee ring, alternate. This gives the threaded part a certain stability when it is held in the open position on the bottle neck. The threaded part can with its top or its cylindrical side wall rest against the bottle neck. With this solution of a captive closure cap, however, the threaded part in the open position is even closer to the container neck than in the above solution and is therefore very troublesome when drinking from the bottle.
  • the invention is characterized in that the first, second, third and fourth ends are arranged one after the other in the circumferential direction on the free edge or on the guarantee ring and that between the second and the third end the first tongue and one adjacent to the first tongue second tongue are arranged with a second tongue end, wherein the second tongue is part of the guarantee ring and in the open position the first tongue end comes into contact with the second tongue end.
  • the first and second tongues work together in a surprising manner with the specially arranged Hal teb software.
  • the successive arrangement of the first, second, third and fourth ends and the precisely coordinated length of the retaining straps enable the first and second tongues to be brought into congruence when the screw cap is screwed on. Because the first and second tongues are arranged directly next to one another, only a small pivoting of the tongues relative to one another is not necessary so that they overlap. Since the tongues overlap, they can lock together in the open position and fix the screw cap in the open position.
  • the second tongue end is designed as an extension on the edge of the guarantee ring facing the screw cap.
  • the first tongue end can latch onto the second tongue end in the open position of the screw cap.
  • the extension is a radially outwardly projecting step.
  • the first tongue end can latch in a stable manner at the transition from the extension to the second tongue in the open position. It is also conceivable that the extension is oriented obliquely downwards in the direction of the container in order to strengthen the holding effect of the screw cap.
  • the extension has a height between 1 and 4 mm and preferably between 2 and 3 mm. This height is sufficient to keep the screw cap stable in the open position and so that the first tongue end does not jump over the extension. On the other hand, the height is not too high, so that the first and second retaining straps would have to be overstretched in order to pull the first tongue end over the extension.
  • the first tongue can advantageously be bent when it is pulled over the extension and then snaps into place on the second tongue below the step.
  • the first tongue adjoins the second end or the third end and the second tongue adjoins the second or third end depending on the position of the first tongue.
  • the two tongues connect directly to the second and third ends.
  • the first tongue can be rotated in the circumferential direction, whereby the two tongues are brought into congruence.
  • the first tongue is received in the closed position in a first recess provided on the guarantee ring.
  • the first tongue can be made as long as possible without the guarantee ring having to be increased in height.
  • the long first tongue makes it possible to arrange the screw cap in the open position as far away as possible from the container neck. As a result, the screw cap is not in the way of the user when drinking from the container.
  • a reinforcement section is expediently formed below the first recess on the guarantee ring. Since the first recess inevitably represents a weakening of the guarantee ring, the area of the guarantee ring below the first recess is reinforced. For example, the guarantee ring can have an increased thickness towards the outside at this point. The reinforcement ensures that the guarantee ring is sufficiently stable despite the first recess, especially if the container closure is bounced onto the container neck and the screw cap is unscrewed from the container neck for the first time.
  • the length of the first tongue is between 70 and 90% of the height of the guarantee ring and preferably between 75 and 85% of the height of the guarantee ring. This dimensioning means that the first tongue is as long as possible without the height of the guarantee ring deviating from the standard height of a conventional guarantee ring.
  • the length of the first and the second retaining strap is dimensioned such that the first and the second tongue are brought into congruence when the screw cap is passed over into the open position.
  • the precisely dimensioned length of the retaining straps in combination with the special arrangement of the tongues and the retaining straps leads to the two tongues being aligned. This is particularly advantageous since the tongues are rotated with respect to one another automatically when the screw cap is unscrewed, which in turn leads to particularly easy handling of the container closure.
  • the predetermined breaking webs are arranged at regular intervals along the open edge.
  • the guarantee ring is therefore held in a sufficiently stable manner on the screw cap so that the container closure can be bounced onto the container neck.
  • the screw cap can also be unscrewed with even force thanks to the even spacing of the predetermined breaking bars.
  • a second and third recess for receiving the first and second retaining band is provided on the edge of the guarantee ring facing the first and second retaining band.
  • the first and second retaining straps can be formed from the guarantee ring in a space-saving manner and without additional material expenditure.
  • the first and second retaining straps can be cut out of the guarantee ring or shaped during the manufacturing process of the closure cap.
  • the provision of the retaining straps does not increase the height of the guarantee ring and no additional material expenditure is necessary.
  • the second and fourth ends enclose an opening angle of at least 60 degrees and at most 90 degrees and preferably of at least 70 and at most 80 degrees with respect to the center of the screw cap as the apex. This gives the first and second tether exactly the length which leads to the functions described above, in particular to covering the first and second tongues when unscrewing.
  • an inwardly protruding inner cone e.g. in the form of a sealing cylinder or a sealing ring
  • the closure cap can therefore act as a so-called “cone sealer” and reliably seals the bottle neck.
  • the first and second retaining straps have a width between 3 mm and 7 mm and preferably a width between 4 mm and 5 mm. This dimensioning ensures that the retaining straps do not tear off unintentionally, especially if the predetermined breaking webs are torn off.
  • the guarantee ring is not too high and can be joined together to form a seal with standardized container necks with external threads.
  • the invention is also characterized in that the closure cap is designed to interact with a standardized container neck with an external thread and retaining ring.
  • the closure cap can therefore be placed on standardized container necks, in particular on PET beverage bottles.
  • Containers which are assembled with the closure cap according to the invention therefore do not have to be specially adapted to the closure cap.
  • the closure cap is expediently made of a plastic material, preferably HDPE (high density polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene).
  • the closure cap can therefore be made with standard plastic materials, from which known closure caps with a guarantee ring are also made.
  • the screw cap, the guarantee ring, the retaining straps, the predetermined breaking webs and the first and second tongues are made in one piece.
  • the container closure can be produced in an injection mold without the need for further processing steps in order to form the first and second retaining straps and the first and second tongues.
  • the inner cone is also made in one piece together with the other parts of the container closure.
  • the guarantee ring has slots which are arranged distributed over the circumference and have an upper edge and a lower edge on, wherein the upper edge is formed by a circular arc-shaped section of the Ga rantieringes and the lower edge is formed by a radially inwardly inclined wall section and the lower edge of each slot forms the projections, whereby engagement means are formed for a positive engagement with the retaining ring . Since the engagement means in the form of the inwardly inclined wall sections are not completely present on the guarantee ring and there are also slots, the shape of which further reduces the use of material, the material requirement for plastic can be significantly reduced by up to 5%.
  • the wall section is immovable inward in the radial direction, whereby the guarantee ring is held on the retaining ring and can only be pulled over this when the guarantee ring is stretched along its circumference.
  • the guarantee ring is held so firmly by the wall sections on the retaining ring that the predetermined breaking webs tear safely before the Hal sion of the wall sections is overcome.
  • the wall sections are flexible or movable. As a result, the wall sections can be removed from the injection mold or the injection molding tool with little effort. For the same reason, the application force for bouncing open the container closure is significantly reduced compared to the prior art. An expansion of the guarantee ring, which can lead to permanent damage to the container closure, is largely prevented during demolding and bouncing.
  • a projection is formed on the guarantee ring below the first and second recess.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a container having a container body, a container neck adjoining the container body, an external thread formed on the container neck and a container closure according to the description above.
  • a support ring is formed at the transition from the Be Schol terhals to the container body and the screw cap is in contact with the second tongue and the support ring in the open position.
  • the additional contact on the support ring in the open position makes the holder more stable because there are two support points.
  • the screw cap is opened to the maximum.

  • the length and the cross section of the first and the second retaining strap 19a, 19b are preferably dimensioned such that the first and the second retaining strap 19a, 19b are elastically tensioned in the open position of the screw cap 15.
  • the screw cap 15 in the open position is pulled onto the container neck 29 and the step 55 and is held on this without wobbling.
  • the elastic pretensioning of the first and second retaining straps 19a, 19b also makes it possible for the screw cap to be transferred several times from the open position to the closed position and vice versa.
  • the container neck 29 can be opened and closed several times and the screw cap 15 is held stable and wobble-free in the open position each time after opening.
  • the projections 37 can be designed according to the following description of the figures of FIGS. 9 and 10.
  • This embodiment of the projections 37 is the content of the Swiss patent applications with the application numbers 01467/19 and 01695/19, the priorities of which have been claimed and the content of which is hereby incorporated into the present patent application.
  • Slits 97 are provided on the guarantee ring, distributed over the circumference of the guarantee ring 17.
  • the slots 97 each have an upper edge 99 and a lower edge 101.
  • the upper edge 99 is formed by a circular arc-shaped portion of the guarantee ring 17 ge.
  • the lower edge 101 corresponds to the free edge of a wall section 103 inclined inward in the radial direction.
  • the lower edge 101 has a smaller radius than the guarantee ring 17 due to the internal inclination of the wall section 103 and can therefore strike an abutment (retaining ring 35) of the container neck 29 when the screw cap 15 is unscrewed from the container neck 29.
  • the abutment is realized by the retaining ring 35, which below the external thread 31 on the Container neck 29 is formed.
  • Each wall section 101 has a first section 105 and two second Sectionab sections 107.
  • the first subsection 105 represents an inwardly folded jacket section and is preferably flat.
  • the second subsections 107 adjoin the inwardly facing sides of the first subsection 105 and connect them to the guarantee ring 17.
  • the second subsections 107 can be curved or flat and face one another at an incline inward.
  • the lower edge 101 of the slot 97 corresponds to the free edges of the first section 105 and the second section 107 and lies in a plane 109, which is shown in FIG.
  • the plane 109 is preferably oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation 110 of the container neck 29.
  • the wall section 103 can rest with the entire lower edge 101 on the retaining ring 35 and does not yield in the manner of a barb when an axial tensile force is applied upwards.
  • the guarantee ring 17 is inextricably held on the retaining ring 35 or can only be removed from the retaining ring 35 with destruction.
  • a movement of the first subsection 105 inward in the radial direction is prevented by the provision of the second subsections 107.
  • a movement of the first partial section 105 outward in the radial direction is possible. This movement is flexible and the wall section 103 returns to its inwardly inclined basic position after it has been pushed radially outward.
  • guarantee ring 17 can be easily removed from the mold and can be bounced onto the container neck 29 together with the screw cap 15 with little force. Demolding from an injection mold and bouncing onto the container neck 29 can take place due to the flexibility of the wall section 103 without the risk of the wall section 103 being damaged.
  • the inclined wall sections 103 have a wall thickness that is smaller than that of the guarantee ring 17.
  • the area of the lower edge 101 has the smallest wall thickness.
  • the wall thickness of the wall section 103 increases linearly downwards starting from the lower edge 101.
  • the guarantee ring 17 is shown without the screw cap 15.
  • an annular bead 111 is formed above the slots 97 on the guarantee ring 17, on which the upper edges 99 lie.
  • a first and a second angle of inclination 113, 115 are entered in FIG.
  • the first angle of inclination 113 indicates the inclination of the first subsection 105 with respect to the plane of the lower edge 101.
  • the first angle of inclination 113 has a size between 60 and 80 degrees and preferably between 65 and 75 degrees. The larger the first angle of inclination 113, the better the stability of the wall sections 103 against vertical forces or axial tensile forces caused by unscrewing the screw cap 15. However, the first angle of inclination 113 must not become too large, as otherwise the retaining ring 35 cannot be sufficiently undercut.
  • the second angle of inclination 115 indicates the inclination of the slot 97 relative to the plane of the lower edge 111.
  • the straight connecting line 117 which represents the inclination of the slot 97, is a connection of the upper edge 99 with the lower edge 101 in a plane which is spanned by the axis of rotation 110 and the straight connecting line 117.
  • the second angle of inclination 115 is enclosed by the connecting straight line 117 and the plane 109.
  • the second angle of inclination 115 has a size between 30 and 50 degrees and preferably between 35 and 45 degrees. The greater the second angle of inclination 115, the easier it is for the guarantee ring 17 to be removed from the mold.
  • An inwardly protruding inner cone 87 (FIG. 4), for example in the form of a sealing cylinder or a sealing ring, is preferably integrally formed on the bottom 21 of the screw cap 15.
  • the inner cone 87 is designed to cooperate in a sealing manner with the inner wall 89 of the container neck 29 in the closed position.
  • the closure cap 11 can therefore act as a so-called “cone sealer” and reliably seals the container neck 29.
  • the closure cap 11 is made of a plastic.
  • Preferred plastics include PP and HDPE. Legend:
