Description
Lid of a container The invention relates to a lid of a container, in particular of a beverage can.
Containers of the type described above are produced, for example, as re-closable beverage cans. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of such cans, a pour opening is provided in the lid panel that is like the remainder of the can made of metal, typically made of aluminum or tinplate. This opening is closed by a closure element bearing against the interior of the can at the lid panel. This closure element is moved by an actuating element actuatable from the exterior, for example, by a flap or a slider, from a closed position to an open position, whereby the pour opening is exposed for emptying the can and can again be closed in a tight manner after the initial opening. Such a beverage can be learned, for example, from the applicant's AT 507 950 Al.
A major problem with re-closable beverage cans is the required low bacterial count. After the initial opening and partial emptying of the beverage can, remains of the content often remain in the region of the pour opening, which after re-closuring are a source of contamination and hence of the occurrence of mold and the like.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lid for a re-closable container that also after re-closure and during prolonged storage prevents contaminants from occurring or entering in the region of the can opening as well as possibly in the beverage can.
In view of this object, the present invention provides that the actuating element comprises at least one second sealing means that seals the at least one outlet opening in relation to the upper side of the lid. The combination of two sealing means leads to the fact that the first sealing means being arranged on the interior on the closure element prevents any leakage of the beverage contents via the outlet opening, whereas the second sealing means seals the outlet

This closure element is moved by an actuating element actuatable from the exterior, for example, by a flap or a slider, from a closed position to an open position, whereby the pour opening is exposed for emptying the can and can again be closed in a tight manner after the initial opening. Such a beverage can be learned, for example, from the applicant's AT 507 950 Al.
A major problem with re-closable beverage cans is the required low bacterial count. After the initial opening and partial emptying of the beverage can, remains of the content often remain in the region of the pour opening, which after re-closuring are a source of contamination and hence of the occurrence of mold and the like.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lid for a re-closable container that also after re-closure and during prolonged storage prevents contaminants from occurring or entering in the region of the can opening as well as possibly in the beverage can.
In view of this object, the present invention provides that the actuating element comprises at least one second sealing means that seals the at least one outlet opening in relation to the upper side of the lid. The combination of two sealing means leads to the fact that the first sealing means being arranged on the interior on the closure element prevents any leakage of the beverage contents via the outlet opening, whereas the second sealing means seals the outlet
2 opening relative to the environment and thereby prevents contaminants from entering at the outlet opening during the production cycle, in particular during bottling, where appropriate during post treatment and during transportation to the customer.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one further opening is provided, spaced apart from the at least one outlet opening and penetrating the lid, which is likewise sealed by the second sealing means relative to the upper side of the lid. This second opening penetrating the lid is a pressure equalization opening which when actuating the actuating element for opening the container is first exposed in order to relieve the pressure usually prevailing in the beverage can when it is filled with a carbonated beverage, in order to then expose the outlet opening itself. This second opening as well is susceptible to contamination, so that this pressure equalization opening is in this embodiment of the invention also sealed by the second sealing means which is arranged on the actuating element. It can also be provided, however, that this opening is by a further, third sealing means protected against contamination from the environment.
A particularly good seal is achieved when the second and/or third sealing means is formed as a sealing lip and/or a sealing edge. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing lip or sealing edge forms an angle with the lid panel different from 90 degrees, which results in an improved seal against the environment.
It is presently particularly preferably provided that the second sealing means is formed integrally with the actuating device. This facilitates mounting the closure device on the lid during production and reduces misalignment and as a result any problems with the sealing properties of the second sealing means.
Since the actuating element is usually made of rigid plastic material, whereas the sealing means needs to exhibit flexible properties for sealing, it is particularly preferably provided that the actuating element is produced as a two-component injection-molded member in order to enable production as a member being integrally formed with the sealing means according to the invention.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the actuating element comprises at least one hinge over which the second sealing means extends. Opening the container and thereby exposing of the outlet opening is therewith facilitated in that the actuating element comprises a hinge which
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one further opening is provided, spaced apart from the at least one outlet opening and penetrating the lid, which is likewise sealed by the second sealing means relative to the upper side of the lid. This second opening penetrating the lid is a pressure equalization opening which when actuating the actuating element for opening the container is first exposed in order to relieve the pressure usually prevailing in the beverage can when it is filled with a carbonated beverage, in order to then expose the outlet opening itself. This second opening as well is susceptible to contamination, so that this pressure equalization opening is in this embodiment of the invention also sealed by the second sealing means which is arranged on the actuating element. It can also be provided, however, that this opening is by a further, third sealing means protected against contamination from the environment.
A particularly good seal is achieved when the second and/or third sealing means is formed as a sealing lip and/or a sealing edge. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing lip or sealing edge forms an angle with the lid panel different from 90 degrees, which results in an improved seal against the environment.
It is presently particularly preferably provided that the second sealing means is formed integrally with the actuating device. This facilitates mounting the closure device on the lid during production and reduces misalignment and as a result any problems with the sealing properties of the second sealing means.
Since the actuating element is usually made of rigid plastic material, whereas the sealing means needs to exhibit flexible properties for sealing, it is particularly preferably provided that the actuating element is produced as a two-component injection-molded member in order to enable production as a member being integrally formed with the sealing means according to the invention.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the actuating element comprises at least one hinge over which the second sealing means extends. Opening the container and thereby exposing of the outlet opening is therewith facilitated in that the actuating element comprises a hinge which
3 facilitates lifting and/or displacing the actuating element. The arrangement of the second sealing means over the hinge ensures that the outlet opening and possibly the ventilation opening are securely sealed when the container is re-closed. Reliable sealing of the opening located in the lid is in particular ensured when the second sealing means extends substantially parallel to the outer edge of the actuating element. In this manner, all openings in the lid panel covered by the actuating element are sealed by the second sealing means against the environment.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one spacer element is arranged at least in part parallel to the second sealing means. The sealing means is due to the internal pressure and the deformation of the container lid resulting therefrom as well as during opening and re-closing of the container subjected to forces that accelerate the wear of the sealing means. The spacer element, preferably being formed as an outer edge, then has the duty to absorb these forces in order to thereby achieve a mechanical decoupling, thereby reducing the forces acting upon the sealing means.
In one variant with particular advantages the second sealing means comprises a first region which in the open position of the closure element is located in the region of the outlet opening and this first portion comprises only a sealing bead. It is often inevitable that the sealing element during the opening motion in a first region passes over the edge of the pour opening. A sealing lip can thereby or during a later closing motion be damaged or destroyed. It is therefore particularly advantageous that the sealing element is in these regions formed in a robust manner and comprises, for example, only a sealing bead. In practice, this is designed such that the sealing lip and the sealing bead unite in the transition to this first region.
In this, partially somewhat lesser sealing is accepted to avoid problems when opening and re-closing.
In a further embodiment, there is provided a lid of a container having at least one outlet opening which penetrates said lid and can be re-closed by at least one closure element, wherein said at least one closure element is arranged on an underside of said lid, wherein said at least one closure element can by an actuating element arranged on an upper side of said lid be moved from a closed position, in which said at least one outlet opening is closed, into an open position, in which said at least one outlet opening is at least partially exposed, wherein said at least one closure element comprises a first sealing means for sealing said at least one outlet opening in relation to said underside of said lid, wherein said actuating element comprises at least one second sealing means which seals said at least one outlet opening in relation to said upper side of said lid; and 3a wherein said at least one second sealing means is designed at least partly as a double seal, and said at least one second sealing means comprises a first region which is in the open position of said at least one closure element located in the region of said at least one outlet opening, and wherein said first region comprises only a sealing bead.
The invention is below explained in more detail by way of a non-restricting embodiment with accompanying figures.
