Definitions
- the present invention relates to an integrally molded Plastic closure consisting of a lower part and a with a hinge that creates a snap effect connected cap, with the features of the preamble of Claims 1 or 2.
- snap hinge closures in which the cap and the lower part is curved, preferably circular or oval-cylindrical shaped, in the closed state at least in the hinge area have vertically stacked jacket walls.
- plastic closures, in particular on Plastic containers are applied differ except in terms of design, essentially in relation to the design of the hinge producing the snap action.
- EP-A-0'056'469 (W. Wiesinger), in which in principle the system of US-A-3'135'456 (Palazzolo) was resumed.
- Palazzolo the limiting curved film hinges just each other lets approximate
- Wiesinger reveals the same system in which the bounding film hinges towards the center into a common one Main film hinge converge. So it forms here a snap hinge consisting of two side Tension elements that have an approximately triangular shape and with their tips are directed towards each other and from there into one common main axis continue to run.
- EP-A-0'640'167 (Createchnic AG) is one Solution became known, which again on the old system US-A-3'135'456 (Palazzolo). While at Palazzolo the two distant to each other Swivel hinge axes formed by the so-called “curved lines "lead to a closure, its closing movement rationally unpredictable, was in the here mentioned in the area between these two distant film hinges distanced the closing movement controlling body attached. This consists of one so-called tilting element with two defined contact surfaces, which in a certain sequence only to the lower part apply, whereupon a first pivoting movement around a first Swivel axis takes place, followed by the second swivel movement happens between support element and cap.
- plastic closures which consist of two parts and a so-called Snap hinge are integrally designed in one piece.
- This here Integrally molded plastic closure shown has a Lower part 1 and an upper part 2, the following as a lid or cap is called.
- the two parts 1 and 2 are Can be pivoted in one piece via the snap hinge 3 connected with each other.
- cap 2 and base 1 at least in the area of the hinge 3, have vertically stacked jacket walls.
- these jacket walls are circular or cylindrical oval-cylindrical design. With absolutely straight lines Sheath walls are snap hinge locks anyway to realize completely unproblematic and therefore do not form Subject of this application.
- the actual snap hinge 3 consists of a continuous, one-piece, movable part 4, which in the Figure 5 is shown separately.
- the mobile Part 4 is on both sides by side edges 5 limited.
- the movable part 4 is at the top curved film hinge 6 towards the cap 2 delimited pivotable.
- Mirror symmetrical to Partition plane T runs at least approximately the same curved film hinge 7, which is the limit between the movable part 4 and the lower part 1 represents.
- the side edges 5 are freely movable. However, one can advantageously see one in the lower part 1 corresponding niche 8 in front and in the upper part respectively the cap 2 a corresponding niche 9, so that in closed state of the closure of the movable part 4 for the most part within the circumferential contour of the closure comes to lie.
- the entire movable part 4 has the overall appearance of a roughly stylized butterfly. Under the The longitudinal direction of the hinge 3 is hereby the Longitudinal extension in the same direction as the parting plane is understood.
- the whole ebeqwegliche Part 4 is only a single element, it has functionally different areas. So one is clear recognizable zone in which during the opening and When the closure is closed, there are mainly compressive forces, the pressure zone 41, and two laterally adjoining it Areas in which during opening and closing of the Closure mainly apply tensile forces, the so-called Train zones 42 can be seen.
- the invention has this Subdivision used and accordingly the movable Part 4 designed so that the functionally different Areas 41, 42 are also designed differently.
- the movable part 4 has one on the External surface from one side edge 5 to the other lateral edge 5 continuously extending bulge 43, which can be designed differently.
- this bulge is as semi-cylindrical bead designed. But the bulge can also a more rectangular or trapezoidal cross-section exhibit.
- This cross-sectional design is for the invention practically insignificant. However, the is significant Changing the material thickness and / or increasing it Bulge.
- the material thickness increases from the center 44, which lies approximately in the middle of the pressure zone 41, towards the outside from both side edges 5 down.
- the same effect is achieved by increasing the bulge to the Edges 5 increases, so that there are greater strains can take place.
- This decrease in material thickness takes place preferably successively. This is already in nature of the matter because there are no sharp transitions from pressure to Train areas are noticeable.
- the Material thickness is preferably equal to the total cross-sectional area the bulge.
- Another thickening, like this that the material is towards the center of the clasp protrudes is not desirable.
- Such as the material thickness the bulge 43 from the center 44 to the outside Edges 5 gradually decreases, is particularly in the Figures 6, 7 and 8 can be seen.
- Figure 8 which one 5 shows a section along the line C-C in FIG. that the bulge 43 in this area as filled, but relatively flat bead is designed. From the center on on on the outside towards the side edges 5 this bead is now 43 higher but reduced in material thickness by the fact that the bead 43 more and more hollowed out from the inside is. In the outermost area, i.e. where the Section line A-A is drawn, the material thickness is the Bead 43 no longer opposite the adjacent area thickened. That is, the bulge 43 is relative thin-walled spiral spring.
- the bulge is now corresponding 43 in the area of the pressure zone 41 so that the compressive forces occurring here the zone, a compression spring same, upsetting, but practically no longer one Deformation of the adjacent jacket walls 10 and 20 respectively Guide lower part 1 or cap 2.
- This stretchability of the "wing” allows the movable hinge part 4 of the closure considerably enlarge. This has an unprecedented advantage because of this the closure is considerably more stable against torsional forces, the relative when twisting lower part 1 and cap 2 can occur to each other. These torsional forces are Occurs relatively frequently while using one on a snap hinge closure attached to a container.
- the outer contour of the bulge 43 is preferably so shape that bulge over the entire course about looks the same. This is essentially a question of aesthetics. In terms of sizing, there are practical ones just a limiting size, that's the distance of the two curved film hinges 6 and 7 approximately in the area of the center. The minimal occurring here Distance corresponds to the maximum width of the Bulge 43. But this width B can be thanks to the special design of the movable part 4 with the Bulge 43 should also be chosen to be larger than previously the functionality of the closure is considered useful has been. If you compare this in particular with the palazzolo closure, so you can see thanks to the specially designed here Pressure zone area 41 that lower part 1 and cover 2 despite a relatively large distance in the area close to the center effect precise closing movement.
- the invention is based essentially on the physical Design described and explained. In principle, however the inventive solution also described with functional features become.
- the moving part 4 two different functional areas, the centric located pressure range and the following Tension areas. Through a correspondingly arched design or Changes in material thickness of these areas can do more or be less stiff and more or less under tension or pressure deformable.
- a design like the cut along the Line B-B shows is relatively stiff but can go through the slight curvature deforms relatively well under pressure, while the elastic train deformation is barely noticeable is. Such a shape can thus remain the same over the entire central area.
- a bending groove 46 that concretizes the film hinge is also provided in the film hinges.
- the bending groove 46 makes the opening and closing movement softer and more flexible.
- the choice of the height of the bulge depends essentially on the size of the closure and the wrap angle of the two "wings" around the closure. Likewise and in the same dependence is the choice of material thickness or wall thickness of the "wing". Of course, the choice of material also plays a role. However, the designer can carry out this optimization with his professional knowledge.

- zeigt einen Kunststoffverschluss im nicht montierten, geschlossenen Zustand in der Seitenansicht mit Blick frontal auf das Schnappscharnier, während
- Figur 2
- denselben Verschluss in derselben Lage um 90° gedreht zeigt, so dass nur noch das halbe Scharnier erkennbar ist.
- Figur 3
- zeigt den Verschluss nach den Figuren 1 und 2 im geöffneten Zustand in der Ansicht von oben, wobei die Innenfläche des Schnappscharnieres ersichtlich ist. In
- Figur 4
- ist eine gestalterische Variante des erfindungsgemässen Verschlusses wiederum in der geschlossenen Lage wie nach Figur 1 dargestellt. In
- Figur 5
- erkennt man die Innenseite des frei beweglichen Scharnierteiles in einem erheblich vergrösserten Massstab, während
- Figur 6
- einen Schnitt entlang der Linie A-A,
- Figur 7
- einen Vertikalschnitt entlang der Linie B-B und
- Figur 8
- einen ebensolchen Vertikalschnitt entlang der Linie C-C, wie aus der Figur 5 ersichtlich, zeigt. Schliesslich ist in
- Figur 9
- eine alternative Gestaltung der Querschnittsform des beweglichen Scharnierteiles etwa im Bereich der Schnittlinie A-A dargestellt.
- Figur 10
- verdeutlicht im Detail eine weitere Gestaltung der Querschnittform des beweglichen Scharnierteiles einmal in Ansicht parallel zum Schnitt im Bereich A-A entsprechend wie bei Figur 5 und
- Figur 11
- die Variante nach Figur 10 geschnitten im Bereich C-C entsprechend wie bei Figur 5.
Neben der hier stufenförmigen Auswölbung 43' nach innen ist zudem noch eine das Filmscharnier stärker konkretisierende Biegerille 46 in den Filmscharnieren angebracht. Die Biegerille 46 macht die Oeffnungs- und Schliessbewegung weicher und flexibler.
Die Wahl der Höhe der Auswölbung ist wesentlich von der Grösse des Verschlusses und vom Umschlingungswinkel der beiden "Flügel" um den Verschluss abhängig. Ebenso und in derselben Abhängigkeit ist die Wahl der Materialstärke oder Wanddicke der "Flügel". Dabei spielt selbstverständlich auch die Materialwahl eine Rolle. Diese Optimierung kann jedoch der Konstrukteur mit seinem fachmännischen Wissen vornehmen.
