Definitions

  • the invention relates to a resealable container having a lid with predetermined breaking points and a closure with a tongue with which the cover can be pressed by tilting the lid in a region between the predetermined breaking points, to release an opening, wherein the closure is displaceable, so that the released opening is closed , according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Reclosable containers of this type have become known from the prior art in the form of beverage cans.
  • the GB 2 426 970 A is, inter alia, such disclosed as reclosable beverage can, reclosable container disclosed.
  • guides are provided on an upper surface of a can lid which positionally guide a closure when the can lid is to be closed.
  • the disadvantage here is a complexity of the design of the can lid, since the guides are provided on this.
  • NL 2 000 219 C discloses in Figures 6a to 6g a resealable container with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the document is the concrete structure of the provided for conventional can lid tilt and slide closure can not be removed.
  • a jalousie-like closure element provided on the can lid is opened and closed again with the aid of a slit-guided sliding plate.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to provide a structurally simple reclosable container.
  • a container according to the invention is shown in plan view of a lid 3.
  • a closure 1 On the lid 3, which is bounded by a lid edge, there is a closure 1.
  • the container shown in the embodiment is designed as a beverage can. In addition, however, other media can be stored in a container according to the invention.
  • a top of the container is completely closed.
  • the container is preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, but other materials or the combination of different, compared to the medium to be stored dense, materials are possible.
  • the closure 1 has at one end an elevated closure edge 1a, on the underside of which there is an end-side grip piece with which the closure 1 can be easily displaced, as will be explained later.
  • an elongated plate 1b is centrally arranged, which has a recess in the form of a straight slot.
  • the plate 1 b is connected to a connecting part 2, which is designed here as a rivet, with the lid 3, wherein the connecting part 2 is guided through the recess or the slot to hold the wafer 1b on the lid 3.
  • a rivet it is of course also possible to use other connecting parts 2 which are connected in a force-locking, positive or cohesive manner to the cover 3 and which can be guided movably in a recess.
  • a straight slot Any other form of recess is also possible with which a guide of the connecting part 2 can be ensured.
  • the closure 1, which is arranged above the small plate 1 b, comprises this, preferably flush, for which a recess 1 c is provided on a lower side facing the lid 3, which completely receives the plate 1 b in a closed state of the container.
  • the closure 1 further has, at an end opposite the closure edge 1 a, a tongue 1 d on which the closure 1 is firmly connected to the wafer 1 b.
  • the connection between the closure 1 and plate 1 b is cohesively formed in the example shown, with an indirect or direct non-positive or positive type of connection would be possible.
  • Closure 1 and plate 1b which are preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, may also be made integrally from one part.
  • the closure 1 and the plate 1b are thus made in one piece and slidably connected by the rivet with the lid 3 along the slot.
  • predetermined breaking points are provided which limit an opening 3b, so that the opening 3b with tilting of the closure 1 and pressure of the tongue 1d can be released by breaking the lid 3 along the predetermined breaking points.
  • Fig. 2 Based on Fig. 2 is a mechanism of opening and closing the container according to Fig. 1 explained in more detail.
  • the closure 1 For the first-time opening of the container, the closure 1 is pulled upwards, for which purpose the closure edge 1a has the end-side grip piece on its underside, so that the closure 1, which is preferably flat, can be grasped easily.
  • the closure 1 By tilting the closure 1 upwards breaks through the action or pressure of the tongue 1 d, the opening 3b in the region of the predetermined breaking points.
  • the flat closure 1 can then be tilted down again and the container is ready for the removal of the content, in this case a drink ready.
  • the closure 1 along the arrow in Fig.
