Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container with closure, consisting of a screw cap with internal thread and a fastened thereto, via predetermined breaking point bridges associated guarantee strip without tear tab, the Container has a cylindrical spout with external thread, on which the screw cap is held.
  • Screw caps of the type mentioned are for many Known years ago. Your design is not least of that depending on which material the container is made of, on which the closure is placed. For glass bottles is the spout. Normally standardized and accordingly must Turnbuckles comply with the standard. For containers Plastic, the spout can be varied much more freely. Also used in containers made of so-called soft material one attached to it plastic sinks, in turn can be made with great creative freedom.
  • the invention relates to screw caps, with Containers made of plastic or soft material, whose spout is made of plastic and where the screw cap and the spout are matched to each other.
  • Guarantee tape which alone by turning the screw cap can be opened, at the same time the guarantee strip is separated from the screw cap.
  • Such closures go, for example, from DE-A-31 11 692, EP-B-0'149'496, EP-B-0'460'557, EP-B-0'593'396 or EP-B-0'625'950.
  • the predetermined breaking points are of course extraordinary thin designed. In their area therefore takes an alignment the molecular chains. These molecular chains, which are now in the Course of orientation of the predetermined breaking webs are oriented, have their highest resistance exactly in this direction. In other words, the occurring when screwing Forces are virtually axial to the spout and thus exactly in the direction of the predetermined breaking points. in addition comes the well-known effect that when screwing the Tensile forces are increased relatively slowly, with a material stretching which leads to a further alignment of the Molecular chains leads and an increased tensile strength causes.
  • the lock of interest here is a screw cap, where the spout on the container molded or attached, the closure consequently consists of a screw cap, provided with internal thread and a connected to the screw cap on predetermined breaking point bridges Guarantee tape, which has no pull tab.
  • the container B can, as shown in the figure 1, a Be plastic bottle or a container made of soft material, namely, a tubular bag made of a multilayer film made of different materials.
  • a multilayer For example, laminated sheet materials consist of a paper or cardboard layer covered with plastic films and an aluminum foil layer multilayer laminated is designed.
  • the spout is in the form of a cylindrical bung glued or welded on. Is it the container B to a plastic bottle, so this bung is through formed the bottleneck.
  • the bung 1 has a flange 2 and a cylindrical spout 3, with a External thread 4 is provided. On the cylindrical spout 3 with the external thread 4 can be the screw 5 Fasten.
  • the screw cap 5 has an upper cover surface 6, at the marginal, circumferentially a shell wall 7 connects.
  • the cylindrically shaped at least on the inner surface Mantle wall 7 has on the inner surface an internal thread. 8 on.
  • a guarantee strip 11 is formed at the bottom of the screw cap 5, and am bottom edge of the shell wall 7, is over a variety of Predetermined breaking point bridges 10 a guarantee strip 11 is formed.
  • the Warranty tape 11 has the shape of a conical ring.
  • the Predetermined breaking point bridges 10 bridge the distance a between the lower edge 12 of the cap 5 and the upper edge 13 of the Warranty tape 11. Between each two adjacent breakpoint bridges 10 and the two edges mentioned Thus, in each case gaps 14 remain.
  • the Mantle wall 7 on the outer surface a corresponding ribbing or ribbing 9 on.
  • FIG. 2 the specific design will now be described of the spout 1 or the neck of the bottle explained.
  • the screw cap 5 clearly on a Container in the form of a plastic bottle attached is a bung 1 is shown in Figure 2, as he especially on soft packaging can be attached.
  • the bung 1 consists of a cylindrical spout 3, on whose lower edge a circular flange 2 is formed is.
  • With the appropriate shape of a container Plastic corresponds to the flange 2 a collar 2 '.
  • Flange 2 for the main thing fastening of a breech 1 serves on the soft packaging, the collar 2 'in particular make sure that the tamper-proof strap is not tampered with can be grasped by grasping under the guarantee tape can.
  • a retaining collar 15 is formed above the flange 2 .
  • Diameter of the retaining collar 15 corresponds approximately to Inner diameter of the screw cap in the area of the lower Edge 12.
  • At this retaining collar 15 is at least one Cutting element 20 integrally formed.
  • the retaining collar 15 is with Support cam 16 provided in the mentioned spaces 14 reach into it. Likewise, the cutting elements 20 protrude through the gaps 14 radially outward.
  • the support cams 16 have, as their name implies, the function of the screw cap to be supported at the correct height during installation.
  • the Screw cap 5 has an internal thread 8, which is the same as the External thread 4 of the cylindrical spout 3 as a fine thread is designed. This allows the screw cap 5 through easy to assemble, with the two Ratchet thread over each other.
  • the support cam 16 can this Intercept forces.
  • the retaining collar 15 itself is in turn by means of support struts 17 with the flange 2 and the Collar 2 'connected.
  • the collar 2 ' can of course again be supported against the container B, this is but not shown in the drawing here.
  • the shape of the cutting elements 20 and the possibly single cutting element 20 has advantageously the shape of a fin or a sawtooth.
  • the following Front edge is called, runs to the radial direction in such a way inclined that when unscrewing the leading edge bridges the predetermined breaking points pulls from the outside to the center and severed.
  • the front in the screwing edge 22 the also Rear edge can be called, runs approximately parallel to Leading edge 21. If one assembles the inventive Screw cap not as previously described by pure axial Collide, but by screwing, it works Rear edge 22 as a deflector and can break the predetermined breaking points 10 elastically deform to the outside without that while a separation takes place.
  • the design of the Cutting elements 20 as a fin thus causes the possibility various assembly methods. For this correct is possible, the conical outward must Warranty tape 11 with its lower outwardly projecting Edge 19 so far outward that when screwing in fact, the fin-shaped cutting element 20 under the guarantee strip comes to running.
  • the cutting elements 20 and the Support cam 16 on the lower edge 12 of the jacket wall. 7 issue.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 In the simplest form, a single cutting element 20th be present and the predetermined breaking points in this case in the sense of rotation of the screw cap cut in succession, as the numbering shown here explains this.
  • FIG. 4 shows a second variant in FIG. In this variant, two cutting elements 20 are present.
  • the predetermined breaking point bridges 10 are evenly distributed around the circumference.
  • the two Finn-shaped cutting elements are not exactly diametrical here attached to each other but are slightly different an angle offset.
