Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container closure with a container provided threaded connector and a screw cap screwed onto it, whereby at least the threaded connector made of a plastic material that can be deformed by finger pressure and there are gear elements in the area of the threaded connector and Screw cap are provided, which when the screw cap is fully screwed on engage with each other and only allow the screw cap to be unscrewed if either the threaded connector and / or the screw cap in the area of the gear elements are deformed to disengage the toothing elements.
- Such a container closure is commonly known as a "childproof closure". Because of further details and general properties of such container closures to German patent application P 44 00, pending at the same time for the same applicant 993.3, which discloses further features and details of a closure, by which the present invention is based on. The present invention is also based on the Closure shown in this earlier application is applicable, but not exclusively limited to this. As already described in this older application, the here container closures in question either the caps or the Threaded connectors are deformed to the gear elements on screw cap and To disengage the threaded connector of a lower part of the closure.
- a closure is also included in the German utility model G 92 06 318.7 Child lock known, in which on opposite sides of a nozzle-shaped Neck gear elements are provided in the corresponding gear elements are provided at the bottom of a screw cap.
- the closure should in particular, the tightness of the container during transport and when not properly Guarantee handling.
- the teeth are provided below the thread and the neck-shaped neck has an elastically flexible zone within which or on the edge of which the toothing is provided.
- the gearing should go through Squeezing the flexible portion of the neck out of engagement.
- Preferred material for the closure lower parts having the threaded connector is Polyethylene.
- Such bellows closures must consist of one relatively flexible, easily deformable material, so that the bellows turned in and out can be. But also for the compression of the threaded connector itself to the It is to disengage gear elements on the threaded connector and screw cap necessary that the threaded connector from a sufficiently easily compressible, deformable and flexible material.
- the material must go without saying be sufficiently resistant to a wide variety of container contents and must also withstand mechanical loads without causing damage such as cracks or the like occur. All of these properties are very well fulfilled by polyethylene, which, however, does not exclude that other materials with similar properties for the Lower part of the lock or the threaded connector could be used.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of closing a container create, in which the problem of lack of functional safety after a long time Fixed use of the closure, but at least is mitigated.
- the threaded connector is one of them assume that such a deformation does not occur after releasing the threaded connector is completely undone, d. H. the threaded connector maintains a shape which the areas with the toothing elements radially inwards and the areas with one or more radial projections are pressed outwards.
- the one ideally, such a threaded screw-on screw cap has a circular shape Form and at the same time consists of a much harder, less easily deformable Material that also has better elastic restoring forces.
- the Projection can be designed in the manner of a radially projecting cam and preferably, of course, has dimensions such that its most outer lying surfaces or points that come into engagement with the inner surface of the screw cap, have the same radial distance from the imaginary axis of the screw cap as that Inner surface of the screw cap itself. This is the cam or the corresponding area of the threaded connector when screwing the screw cap back into position pressed back, which corresponds to the exact, circular shape of the threaded connector. The exact shape of the cam or protrusion is of secondary importance.
- the cam and / or the lower edge of the screw cap z. B. have inclined ramp surfaces, to facilitate the engagement of the cam and the inner surface of the screw cap.
- two diametrically opposite cams or projections are provided in a position offset by 90 ° to diametrically opposite toothing elements are arranged on the threaded connector.
- the axial position of the cam is of course chosen so that it is fully on the threaded connector of the screw cap screwed on at least partially within the same lies and engages with the inner surface of the screw cap, but still axially outside of Thread of the screw cap remains, otherwise it will prevent the cap from being screwed on could.
- the projection analogous to the toothing of the Screw cap in the above-mentioned DE-A-44 00 993.3, along an imaginary Continuation of the thread, in this case the threaded connector, could be arranged.
- the projection or cam preferably extends axially only in one region outside the thread of the screw cap ⁇ when it is fully screwed on), in Contrary to the gear elements, which according to the preferred variant and in accordance with the above-mentioned German patent application DE-A-44 00 993.3 to the threaded area of the screw cap, the toothing elements of which are continued Threads are arranged.
- an embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the edge of the Screw cap springs back axially in the area of its toothing elements or one Has recess.
- the edge of the Screw cap springs back axially in the area of its toothing elements or one Has recess.
- FIG. 1 you can see a narrow hatched closure part 6, which is a so-called Has closure foot 7, for example in the edge of a circular opening Tin container is bouncing.
- the locking foot 7 is a flexible bellows 4 with a Bellows pourer 3 connected, which is a more or less cylindrical part, the upper one Section of a threaded connector 3a is formed.
- the free orifice when in use the bellows spout 3 is by an unspecified seal with tear-off ring locked.
- the screw cap 1 is somewhat wider and compared to the lower part of the closure hatched opposite slope.
- the screw cap 1 consists of the so-called Cap base 14, one or two pull-out brackets 15, a cylindrical part 16 with an internal thread and a cylindrical sealing projection 20 which seals in the Threaded connector 3a engages while the cylindrical part 16 on the external thread of the Threaded connector 3a is screwed on.
- FIGS. 1 coincides with the parts described so far that of Figures 1 and 2 in DE-44 00 993.3.
- protrusions 17 are diametrically opposed and radial provided outwardly on the lower portion of the threaded connector 3.
- FIG 1 is such a threaded connector 17, which is not visible on this illustration Located outside of the threaded connector 3, indicated by dashed lines in its outline.
- the two diametrically opposite are in Figure 2 Recognize projections 17 in an axial plan view. The two projections 17 are 90 ° offset to the teeth 5 of the threaded connector 3.
- FIG 3 shows a screw cap according to a variant of the present invention.
- This Screw cap 1 'in Figure 3 differs from the screw cap 1 in Figures 1 and 2 only in that it has an inwardly projecting projection 17 'which, just like the teeth 2 also in the extension of a thread, but as close as possible is arranged at the bottom of the screw cap.
- the position of the projection 17 ' corresponds to a screw cap completely screwed onto the threaded connector 3 exactly the position which otherwise of the outward projection 17 of the Threaded connector is taken.
- both protrusions 17 and 17 'in essentially the same function in that they ensure that by screwing the screw cap 1 on the threaded connector 3 this after a previous one Deformation essentially returns to its largely circular cross-sectional shape is pushed back.
- the screw cap 1 is shown in FIG. 3 in the same sectional view as in FIG Figure 1, but the lower closure part 6 is omitted, so that the view of the Threaded inner wall of the screw cap 1 is released.
- the inwardly projecting thread webs 11 a trapezoidal profile with a band-like, flat thread surface 13.
- the lower end portion of the thread web 11 has a series of notches 12, which are already connected in the radial sectional view were described with Figure 2 and which the teeth 2 in the form of between the Define notches 12 areas of the threaded web 11 that have remained.
- the axial Length h of the thread web 11 and thus the minimum width of the teeth 2, which with corresponding teeth 5 of the lower closure part 6 engage, is at least 0.5 mm, but should preferably be more than 1 mm. As you can see, it has Screw cap 1 no bulge, extension or other additional space, because ultimately the teeth 2 only through recessed areas 12 in an already existing one Threaded web 11 can be defined.
- the teeth 5 provided on the axial height corresponding to the teeth 2, which with engage teeth 2.
- the thread of the threaded connector 3a can extend further into the area of these teeth 5, i.e. the teeth 5 could easily also define the lowest section of the thread of the threaded connector 3a.
- the teeth 2 and the projection 17 ' are almost the same axial Drawn in height, but preferably the teeth 2 in Figure 3 should continue axially lie above, while the projection 17 'as close as possible to the lower edge 10 of the screw cap 1 should be arranged.
