The specific embodiment
With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, plastics closure 10 is depicted as has circumferential collar 11, is used for around the dispense aperture of container, being attached to the fluid container (not shown).For example, attachedly can pass through screw thread 12 (see figure 3)s, bayonet fitting (not shown) or other known attachments.
A plurality of leaf 13 are positioned at the top of the collar 11, and are attached on the collar 11 by integral hinge 14 (seeing Fig. 5 especially).Though show eight this leaf 13, quantity obviously can change.In the make position of closure member 10, leaf 13 is in the horizontal surface of substantially flat, to extend adjacent to each other shown in 3,4 and 5 at Fig. 1.Each leaf 13 has similar leg-of-mutton shape, and it has two long sides 15 on the direction away from the hinge 14 relevant with specific leaf 13, assembling.The long side 15 of each leaf 13 is adjacent at the long side of the make position of closure member 10 and adjacent leaf 13.
A plurality of thin, soft, integrally be attached on the leaf 13 for folding 16, and between leaf 13, extend, each is extending sheet 16 between the long side 15 of two adjacent leaf 13 and is being attached on the long side 15 of two adjacent leaf 13.Sheet 16 can have the thickness of 0.005 inch order of magnitude, and leaf 13 can have the thickness of 0.040 inch order of magnitude, and it is as just example.In the make position of closure member 10, each sheet 16 be folded in adjacent double-type leaf 13 below, and long leaf side 15 is adjacent one another are.When closure member was opened, long leaf side 15 was with each interval.
For example, closure member 10 will be attached on the squeezable fluid container usually.When the manual compression container, the pressure of fluid to be allocated force leaf 13 from Fig. 1 position of their substantially flat to Fig. 2 position, in Fig. 2 position each leaf around its hinge 14 upwards pivot and with it adjacent leaf at interval.Sheet 16 launches between leaf 13 now and stretches.Therefore, on closure member 10, form dispense aperture 17, to allow the distribution of fluid product.Less Manual pressure on the container will produce less opening 17, and bigger Manual pressure will produce bigger opening.This opening of closure member 10 is shown in Fig. 2, in 6 and 7, for clearly explanation, except a sheet 16, all sheets 16 is not shown in Fig. 6.
When required product volume distributes through closure member 10 and discharges squeeze pressure; Leaf 13 will pivot downwards around their hinge 14 and occupy the make position of closure member in Fig. 1 once more, wherein sheet 16 once more between adjacent leaf 13 with below fold up.At squeeze receptacle no longer, get back to this downward pivot that suction in the container helps leaf 13 with product after the allocated product.
Closure member 10 also comprises and integrally is attached to the lid 20 on the collar 11 through bow-tie hinge 21.The circumferential surface 23 that lid 20 has center pin 22 and extends from the bottom surface (during closure) of lid 20.Bow-tie hinge 21 is buckled between the open position and make position of lid 20 of closure member 10.When lid 20 was in its make position and leaf 13 and is in the orientation of its substantially flat, center pin 22 extended in the central opening 18 on the central axis of the closure member that radially inner top 19 (see figure 4)s leaf 13 limit.Top 19 relative center pin 13 sealings.The bottom surface 23 of lid 20 is used for keeping leaf 13 smooth at the position of cap of closure.Can be lid 20 bayonet unit is provided, to be snapped on the periphery of the collar 11 at its peripheral region in make position.Even bow-tie hinge 21 is used for when the accident extruding that has container, lid 20 being remained on make position.
The collar 11, leaf 13, hinge 14, sheet 16, lid 20 and bow-tie hinge 21 can all integrally be molded as the integral type plastics closure each other in single molded operation.For example, these plastics can be polypropylene.Particularly, closure member is molded in the single molded operation in the orientation that all parts is molded as parts shown in Figure 2.Sheet 16 is therefore molded at expanded position.Afterwards, when hinge 14 and leaf 13 were still warm, leaf 13 was pivoted to the make position of Fig. 1 downwards.Sheet 16 correspondingly is folded in leaf 13 times.When closure member cooled off, the elastic positional memory of leaf 13 and hinge 14 was the position of Fig. 1 rather than the position of Fig. 2.Lid 20 is upwards swung (see figure 3) subsequently, and is snapped into the over top of the collar 11 or is snapped on the top of the collar 11.Closure member 10 is prepared packing and transportation then, does not need assembly manipulation.
The certain characteristics of the present invention that the front is described limits unique, simple unitary container sealer together, and it is easy to manufacture, and cost is low; Do not need assembling; Can variable flow be provided according to Manual pressure, prevent to squeeze out current distribution, as far as customer's reliable and effective in the container accident; Be easy to handle and transportation, and can place from the teeth outwards reversedly when needed.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can change and/or revise the present invention.Therefore, present embodiment will be identified as exemplary but not determinate.Should be understood that it is relevant with the position that is intended to shown in the drawing that the position terms of using in this specification sheets is used for, and is not intended to restrictive.
