" ' 1.0 Field Of The Invention~
This invention relates generally to child-proof caps, and particularly to such caps that include a screw closure.
BACKGROUND ,~
" ' 1.0 Field Of The Invention~
This invention relates generally to child-proof caps, and particularly to such caps that include a screw closure.
2.0 iscussion, of Related Art:
In the context of the invention, screw closures are understood to be closures which can be simultaneously pressed in radially and turned in the peripheral direction with one hand. Since children at the dangerous age do not have the necessary abstractive faculty to exert these two forces or movements, closures of the type in question are said to be child-proof. The screw closure itself may consist of various materials and may be associated with containers of any type, but especially bottles.
Known child-proof screw closures for bottles, particularly medicine bottles of various kinds, are small in size to correspond ~to the 'relatively small volume of this particular application. If the closure caps of relatively large containers, for example for laundry or dishwashing ,,:
detergents, were simply to be scaled-up versions of the screw ,, ,'',~' 20 caps of medicine bottles, the radial depression forces required , to release the child-proof closure would be far too great for , ,,~,, practical convenience. Since the area to be depressed also becomes larger with the increase in geometric scale, any reduction in the necessary depression force may risk unintentional release of the child-proof closure.

3.0 Summary Of The Invention:
An object of the present invention is to provide a child-proof screw closure which can be used on small containers, and also particularly on relatively large containers of the type preferably used for laundry and dishwashing detergents, and for which closure is easy to use.
This and other objects of the invention are provided by a child-proof screw closure comprising a screw cap designed to be opened by simultaneous radial depression of at least one press-in zone and screwing rotation of the cap. Typically, the cap is mounted on a container including a thin bottle-like neck.
One embodiment of the invention includes at least one tilting flange extending parallel to the screw axis, and designed to pivot about a tilt axis extending substantially tangentially of the screw axis. The flange is mounted in one piece in the wall of the screw cap via an elastic web of material forming the .......
tilt axis. At its lower longitudinal end facing the container, the tilting flange is provided on the inside with at least one locking tooth designed to engage in a groove provided on the neck part of the thread. The press-in zone consists of the longitudinal end, opposite the locking tooth, of the tilting flange on the head of the screw cap.
The child-proof closure provided by the invention is a '',: ' -, "~ ",~. .,,;-,-~ . .'~" -'~ ":'". ~ "',~ ,:",~
ock which can be locked and unlocked by pivoting a tilting flange in the form of an axially extending longitudinal strip of the screw cap. To press in or actuate the tilting flange, it is merely necessary to overcome the resilience of the constituent material of the web forming the tilt axis.
Although, according to the invention, pressing in or rather unlocking is possible with relatively little force, the force has to be applied to a certain point of the tilting flange. A child at the dangerous age does not have the necessary abstractive faculty to perform the same movements at the same time, and also to find certain pressure points.
In another embodiment, the child-proof closure further includes not one tilting flange, but two tilting flanges diametrically opposite one another (relative to the screw axis). Each tilting flange is provided with a locking tooth for the associated groove in the neck of the container.
Unnoticed opening of an unused container provided with the screw closure is eliminated, according to yet another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment each tilting flange, apart from the web of material forming the tilt axis, is connected to the adjoining material of the screw cap solely by at least the originality bridge. An originality closure such as this, equivalent to lead sealing, may advantageously consist of a bridge of material between the wall of the screw cap and the press-in zone of the tilting flange.
The possibility of compression-molding, extruding or otherwise forming this component in one piece facilitates production and assembly of the screw closure. In one 079 : ~
" ..
~"~émbodiment particularly advantageous in this regard, the screw cap with its substantially cylindrical outer wall is made double-walled, between the surface of its cover remote from the container and the radial web of material forming the tilt axis, with a sufficient radial distance between the inner and outer walls for the tilting required to disengage the locking tooth from the groove. The screwthread required for screwing the closure on its inside may thus be formed on the inside of the inner wall. As a result, the screwthread is not affected by the child-proof locking mechanism.
As already mentioned, the screw closure may be made of any material suited to the particular application. For containers for laundry and dishwashing detergents, the one-piece screw cap should be made of a plastics material which is resistant in particular to hypochlorites and surfactants.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
One example of an embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like items are identified by the same reference number, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the screw closure on the neck of a bottle, for one embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view, partly in section, with the closure unscrewed from the neck of the container, of the one embodiment of the invention.
Figure 3 is a perspective view, looking obliquely from below, of the closure shown in Figures 1 and 2.
, ' ~' f~ff~fff~flo79 Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the child-proof screw closure consists of a screw cap globally denoted by the reference 1, with tilting flanges or cheeks 3 which are integrated in diametrically opposite, axially extending longitudinal strips from its wall 2, and which are connected to the main body of the screw cap 1 solely by webs 5 of material acting at a tilt axis 4. The tilt axis 4 may be regarded in approximate terms as a chord or tangent of the basically cylindrical screw cap 1.
The screw cap 1 is optionally substantially symmetrical in relation to its screw axis 6. The important feature of the tilt axis 4 or the web 5 of material forming the tilt axis 4 is the resilient force which it exerts on the tilting cheek 3 so that normally i.e. in the absence of external influences, the tilting cheek 3 occupies the locking position described in detail hereinafter. The bending of the web 5 or the axis 4 in accordance with the circumference of the cylinder is desirable in that it adds to or increases this resilient force.
In practical application, the screw cap 3 is screwed with its inner thread 7 onto an outer thread 8 on the neck 9 of a container 10. on the neck 11, the outer thread 8 comprises at least one groove 13 in a locking ring 12. As shown, the groove 13 is provided with a substantially sawtooth-like stop 14 so that a locking tooth 16~ (see FigUre 3) provided on the inside of the tilting cheek 3 at the lower longitudinal end 15 facing the container 10 can engage in the groove 13 via rotation of the screw cap 1. Under the effect of the resilience in the web 5 of material, the locking tooth 16 is normally, i.e. in the " , , ., ~. , . , , - - - -locking position, pressed into the groove 13. The shapes of the groove 13 and the locking tooth 16 are selected so that the screw cap 1 cannot be turned without unlocking.
The screw cap 1 is unlocked by moving the tilting cheek 3 in the direction of the arrow 19 by radially depressing the press-in zone 18 adjoining the cover zone 17 of the screw cap 1 facing the container 10 above the tilt axis 4. As a result, the lower longitudinal end 15 of the tilting cheek 3 is lifted radially, substantially relative to the (cylinder) wall 2, from the peripheral surface of the screw cap 1. To facilitate this movement via a user, it is preferred that arrows 19 be provided on the surface 17 of the cover, for indicating the depressing direction. ;
In principle, the tilting cheek 3 is only joined to the body of the screw cap 1 by the substantially radial webs 5 of material. Accordingly, an encircling slot 20 is provided, and also extends through the surface 17 of the cover. The slot 20 may be interrupted by originality bridges 21 only before the ~-container is used for the first time. The originality bridges 21 are best provided in the wall 2 on one or both sides of the press-in zone 18. When the screw cap is depressed for the ., first time in the direction of the arrow 19, the originality bridges 21 are broken. Accordingly, an important advantage of the invention is that it is easy to tell whether or not the closure has been opened.
For the production and handling of the closure, it has proved to be favorable to make the screw cap 1 double-walled between the surface 17 of the cover and the pivot axis 4 or the ;

,'''",'''.'~''';' i~oalo79 ~eb 5 of material. In this case, the screw cap 1 consists of the outer wall 2 and an inner wall 22 which carries the inner screwthread 7, and at its lower end 23 facing the container 10, is connected to the tilting cheek 3 by the web 5. The mutual radial distance between the outer wall 2 and the inner wall 22 is sufficient for the tooth 16 to be able to slide completely out of the groove 13, when the press-in zone is depressed in the direction of the arrow 19.
