Description
Securing device for a tapping armature The present invention relates to a securing device for the placement of a tap-ping armature on a tapping neck formed integrally on a container wall of a plastic container, the tapping armature having an armature housing compris-ing a screw flange formed concentrically with an inlet neck on said inlet neck, the screw flange having an internal thread for being screwed to an ex-ternal thread formed on a threaded extension of the tapping neck in such a manner that the tapping neck engages into an annular neck receiving space formed between the inlet neck and the screw flange, a securing ring being dis-posed between the container wall and the screw flange, the securing ring hav-ing a fixing means for fixing it to the screw flange and a locking means for connecting it to the container, the securing ring having locking protrusions for forming the locking means which are disposed on an inner circumference and which are directed radially inward and whose locking ends, for locking with a stop means formed on the container, are disposed on a locking circum-ference, whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the external thread of the tapping neck or equal to said diameter.
Securing devices for the placement of a tapping armature typically serve to secure the original association of a tapping armature intended for a container with said container in order to prevent manipulation once a container has been provided with a tapping armature, such as manipulations in which a tap-ping armature suitable for the container or for a liquid held in said container might be replaced with an unsuitable tapping armature.
Typically, securing devices of this kind are designed as a securing ring which, while not being able to prevent the tapping armature from being re-moved from the container by force, still makes any undesired manipulation visible by being at least partially destroyed.

Typically, securing devices of this kind are designed as a securing ring which, while not being able to prevent the tapping armature from being re-moved from the container by force, still makes any undesired manipulation visible by being at least partially destroyed.
2 In order to install the conventionally used tapping armatures, which have a union nut formed independently of the armature housing and serving to screw the tapping armature to a tapping neck formed on the container, the securing ring has to be placed between the union nut and a container wall of the container during installation of the tapping armature. This involves a correspondingly complex handling action because in addition to holding the armature housing of the tapping armature in position and screwing the union nut onto the threaded tapping neck of the container, the securing ring, which has locking protrusions at its inner circumference that serve to lock with a stop means formed on the tapping neck, has to be positioned with the locking protrusions axially on the tapping neck across the thread of the tapping neck in order to be able only then to screw the tapping armature on.
When the securing ring is placed on the tapping neck, the fact that a diameter of the locking circumference defined by the locking protrusions is smaller than the .. outer diameter of the tapping neck causes the locking protrusions to at least partially catch on the ridge of the external thread of the tapping neck, which causes the securing ring to jam on the tapping neck when the securing ring is axially slid onto the tapping neck.
The mounting process, which is thus complex on the whole, is at odds with .. automated mounting of tapping armatures provided with securing rings in which a mounting robot positions the armature housing coaxially with the tapping neck, followed merely by a screwing action.
Hence, the object of the present invention is to propose a securing device for a tapping armature that allows tapping armatures provided with such a securing device to be automatically mounted on a container.
Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a securing device for the placement of a tapping armature on a tapping neck formed integrally on a container wall of a plastic container, the tapping armature having an armature housing comprising a screw flange formed concentrically with a plastic inlet neck on said inlet neck, the screw flange having an internal thread for being screwed to an external Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-01 2a thread formed on a threaded extension of the tapping neck in such a manner that the tapping neck engages into an annular neck receiving space formed between the inlet neck and the screw flange, a securing ring being disposed between the container wall and the screw flange, the securing ring having a fixing means for .. fixing it to the screw flange and a locking means for connecting it to the container, the securing ring having locking protrusions for forming the locking means which are disposed on an inner circumference and directed radially inward and whose locking ends for locking with a stop means formed on the container are disposed on a locking circumference, whose diameter D is greater than the diameter d of the external thread of the tapping neck or equal to said diameter d, wherein in order to set a defined mounting torque an axial stop for coming into contact with a front end of the tapping neck is formed in the neck receiving space.
Owing to the combination of the screw flange formed integrally on the inlet .. neck and thus not being a component that is independent of the inlet neck with the defined positioning of the securing ring relative to the armature Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-01

Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a securing device for the placement of a tapping armature on a tapping neck formed integrally on a container wall of a plastic container, the tapping armature having an armature housing comprising a screw flange formed concentrically with a plastic inlet neck on said inlet neck, the screw flange having an internal thread for being screwed to an external Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-01 2a thread formed on a threaded extension of the tapping neck in such a manner that the tapping neck engages into an annular neck receiving space formed between the inlet neck and the screw flange, a securing ring being disposed between the container wall and the screw flange, the securing ring having a fixing means for .. fixing it to the screw flange and a locking means for connecting it to the container, the securing ring having locking protrusions for forming the locking means which are disposed on an inner circumference and directed radially inward and whose locking ends for locking with a stop means formed on the container are disposed on a locking circumference, whose diameter D is greater than the diameter d of the external thread of the tapping neck or equal to said diameter d, wherein in order to set a defined mounting torque an axial stop for coming into contact with a front end of the tapping neck is formed in the neck receiving space.
Owing to the combination of the screw flange formed integrally on the inlet .. neck and thus not being a component that is independent of the inlet neck with the defined positioning of the securing ring relative to the armature Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-01
3 housing via the fixing means formed on the securing ring and owing to the locking circumference of the securing ring being dimensioned such that its di-ameter is equal to the outer diameter of the external thread of the tapping neck or grater than the outer diameter of the tapping neck, the securing device according to the invention allows the tapping armature to be mounted on the container in a way in which the armature housing of the tapping armature has to be handled merely in order to be screwed to the tapping neck of the con-tainer without the risk of the securing ring becoming jammed, which would jeopardize the necessary coaxial alignment of the armature housing with the tapping neck.
Thus, the securing device according to the invention allows automatic mount-ing of the tapping armature.
Preferably, an axial stop designed to come into contact with a front end of the tapping neck is formed in the neck receiving space, allowing a defined mount-ing torque to be set during mounting independently of the sealing force acting in the radial sealing space owing to the axial impact of the front end of the tapping neck against the axial stop formed in the neck receiving space of the armature housing. Thus, automatic mounting by means of a mounting robot as a function of the desired mounting torque is possible.
According to another preferred embodiment, the stop means is formed on a neck base of the tapping neck, said neck base being formed adjacent to the container wall, which means that the stop means can be produced together with the tapping neck in a molding process, such as the blow molding tech-nique typically employed to produce plastic containers.
Preferably, the neck base is realized as a collar formed in the area of transi-tion from the container wall to the threaded extension of the tapping neck, said collar having latching protrusions which are distributed across its cir-cumference and which each have a latching surface extending substantially

4 parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tapping armature, a clear relative posi-tion of the securing ring relative to the tapping neck being defined by the locking protrusions latching behind the latching protrusions.
If the latching protrusions are realized as latching ramps that have a ramp .. surface rising from the circumference of the neck base and forming a latching shoulder with the latching surface, the locking protrusions are deformed in a continuously increasing and thus material-friendly manner during latching.
If the length of the tapping neck, the design of the external thread on the tap-ping neck and the distribution of the latching protrusions on the circumfer-ence of the neck base are selected such that when the axial stop of the arma-ture housing comes into contact with the front end of the tapping neck with a defined preload force, at least one locking protrusion of the securing ring elastically latches behind the stop surface of a latching protrusion, a defined preload force is associated with the locked position of the securing ring on the tapping neck, which allows the tapping armature to be mounted on the tapping neck with accuracy of position and with the position of the tapping armature on the tapping neck being effectively secured at the same time solely as a function of the mounting torque generating the preload force. It can be ensured in particular that a valve shaft of the tapping armature, which allows the tapping armature to be actuated, is located in the desired vertical orientation.
For forming a radially acting sealing means, a sealing space is preferably pro-vided which has an inner sealing surface, which is formed by an outer wall of the inlet neck, and an outer sealing surface, which is formed by an inner wall of the tapping neck, and which is provided with an 0-ring seal accommodated in the sealing space so as to come into contact with the inner sealing surface and with the outer sealing surface so that the preload force between the tap-ping armature and the tapping neck does not affect the sealing means owing to the radially acting sealing means.
For forming the sealing space, a circumferential recess is preferably formed on an inner opening edge at the front end of the tapping neck in such a man-ner that a limiting surface which axially limits the sealing space and which is axially recessed relative to a stop surface serving to come into contact with

5 .. the axial stop of the neck receiving space at the front end is formed by the re-cess. Thus, if needed, the 0-ring seal can be form-fittingly inserted into the tapping neck in order to mount the tapping armature.
It is particularly advantageous if the inner sealing surface and/or the outer sealing surface conically taper in the axial direction in such a manner that the height of the sealing space decreases in the direction of the tapping neck, which means that the sealing force is generated during the mounting process, but the preload force generated during the mounting process is not transmit-ted via the sealing means.
Preferably, the fixing means has a driver pocket formed at a securing ring .. front side facing the screw flange, said driver pocket serving to be engaged by a driver tab formed on the screw flange in such a manner that a form-fit-ting engagement of the driver tab in the driver pocket allows the coaxial alignment of the securing ring with the tapping armature to be produced in a particularly simple manner.
If the securing ring has, in addition to the driver pocket, at least one other driver element which allows a torque to be transmitted from the screw flange to the securing ring in the mounting direction only, this ensures that the torque is transmitted via multiple contact points in a manner that is easy on the securing ring; however, the other driver element cannot support the screw flange during rotation in the dismounting direction, which allows the driver pocket to be simultaneously used as a tamper-evident element because a torque is exclusively transmitted via the driver pocket when the screw flange is being detached from the tapping neck.

6 For transmitting the torque, the driver element preferably has a radial stop surface which serves to come into contact with a web flank of a driver web formed on the screw flange and extending in the axial direction.
If the driver element has a latching protrusion for axially latching with a mat-ing latching element formed on the screw flange, defined axial fixation of the securing ring to the screw flange can take place during the mounting process in addition to radial fixation.
It is particularly advantageous if the driver pocket is realized as a tamper-evi-dent element in such a manner that a visible wall connected to a base wall formed on the securing ring via a predetermined breaking means is provided, a receiving space for the driver tab of the screw flange being formed between the base wall and the visible wall so as to realize the driver pocket.
Preferably, the visible wall has at least two visible-wall portions which are connected to the base wall via the predetermined breaking means, the front visible-wall portion in the dismounting direction of the screw flange having a stop edge for the driver tab and the rear visible-wall portion in the dismount-ing direction having a stop edge for a driver web of the screw flange, said driver web following in the dismounting direction.
Owing to this two-part design of the tamper-evident element, which allows complete destruction of the tamper-evident element in two motion phases of a rotation of the screw flange, a visible wall whose dimensions are large on the whole can be removed, manipulation of the tapping armature thus being clearly visible from great distance.

In Figs. 1, 2 and 4, a tapping armature 10 mounted on a tapping neck 11 of a plastic container 12 is illustrated. Plastic containers 12 of this kind are used in particular as inner containers of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), the plastic containers 12 in this case being accommodated in a protective shell which is fixed on a transport pallet and often configured as a cage.
As shown in Fig. 3, in particular, the tapping neck 11 is located at a container wall 13 of the plastic container 12 and has, directly adjacent to the container wall 13, a collar-shaped neck base 14, adjacent to which a threaded extension 15 is formed, said threaded extension 15 having an external thread 16 which serves to be screwed to an internal thread 17 of a screw flange 18 which is formed on an inlet neck 19 of an armature housing 20 of the tapping armature 10.
8 The armature housing 20 is provided with a valve which, in the case at hand, is realized as a flap valve 21 and which has a valve flap 23 disposed on a valve shaft 22, said valve flap 23 having a valve handle 24 at its end protrud-ing from the armature housing 20 in such a manner that the valve flap 23 can be displaced from the closed position illustrated in Fig. 3 into an open posi-tion (not illustrated) by pivoting the valve shaft 22 by means of the valve handle 24. An outlet neck 25 of the armature housing 20 is provided with a screw cap 26 to protect the tapping armature 11 against dirt.
Fig. 3 shows the tapping armature 10 in a mounting configuration in which the screw flange 18, which is formed integrally on the armature housing 20 and made of the same material as the inlet neck 19, is connected to a securing ring 28 via a driver tab 27 radially projecting from the screw flange 18. To connect the securing ring 28 to the driver tab 27 of the screw flange 18, the securing ring 28 has a driver pocket 29 into which the driver tab 27 form-fit-tingly engages, which means that during mounting, the securing ring 28 to-gether with the tapping armature 10 is coaxially aligned relative to the tap-ping neck 11 and forms a mounting unit with the tapping armature 10 which can be screwed onto the tapping neck 11.
As Fig. 3 further shows, when the tapping armature 10 is in the mounting configuration on the inlet neck 19, the armature housing 20 is provided with an 0-ring seal 30 which is disposed on an outer wall 32 of the inlet neck 19, said outer wall 32 conically tapering toward a neck end 31, and which thus forms another component of the mounting unit.
Fig. 4 shows the tapping armature 10 after having been mounted on the tap-ping neck 11 in a use configuration connected to the plastic container 12, in which the screw flange 18 is screwed on far enough for an axial stop 34 formed at the bottom of an annular neck receiving space 33 formed between the inlet neck 19 and the screw flange 18 to come into contact with a front end 35 of the tapping neck 11 until the desired mounting preload force is achieved.
Fig. 3 shows the tapping armature 10 in a mounting configuration in which the screw flange 18, which is formed integrally on the armature housing 20 and made of the same material as the inlet neck 19, is connected to a securing ring 28 via a driver tab 27 radially projecting from the screw flange 18. To connect the securing ring 28 to the driver tab 27 of the screw flange 18, the securing ring 28 has a driver pocket 29 into which the driver tab 27 form-fit-tingly engages, which means that during mounting, the securing ring 28 to-gether with the tapping armature 10 is coaxially aligned relative to the tap-ping neck 11 and forms a mounting unit with the tapping armature 10 which can be screwed onto the tapping neck 11.
As Fig. 3 further shows, when the tapping armature 10 is in the mounting configuration on the inlet neck 19, the armature housing 20 is provided with an 0-ring seal 30 which is disposed on an outer wall 32 of the inlet neck 19, said outer wall 32 conically tapering toward a neck end 31, and which thus forms another component of the mounting unit.
Fig. 4 shows the tapping armature 10 after having been mounted on the tap-ping neck 11 in a use configuration connected to the plastic container 12, in which the screw flange 18 is screwed on far enough for an axial stop 34 formed at the bottom of an annular neck receiving space 33 formed between the inlet neck 19 and the screw flange 18 to come into contact with a front end 35 of the tapping neck 11 until the desired mounting preload force is achieved.
9 As can be seen from a combined view of Figs. 8 and 9, the securing ring 28 is provided with a locking means 36 at its inner circumference, said locking means 36 having a plurality of locking protrusions 37 which are directed radi-ally inward and which, in the embodiment example illustrated here, addition-ally have an orientation inclined at a latching angle a relative to the radius r in the in the dismounting direction 38. Furthermore, at its front side 40 facing the screw flange 18 in the mounting position illustrated in Fig. 3, the secur-ing ring 28 has two driver elements 41 which are oriented axially and each of which has, at a driver end 42, a latching protrusion 43 which, as shown in Fig. 2 in particular, serves to latch with a web edge 44 of the screw flange 18.
Moreover, the driver elements 41 have a radial stop surface 45 which serves to come into contact with a web flank 46 of a driver web 47 which is formed on the screw flange 18 and which extends in the axial direction.
In the mounting configuration of the tapping armature 10 as illustrated in Fig.
3, the securing ring 28 is fixed in both its radial and axial relative position relative to the screw flange 18 by the driver tab 27 of the screw flange 18 be-ing received in the driver pocket 29 of the securing ring 28 and by the driver elements 41 being latched, as also illustrated in Fig. 2. This results in a cor-responding coaxial alignment of the securing ring 28 with the tapping arma-ture 10, which means that the tapping armature 10 can be screwed onto the tapping neck 11 together with the securing ring 28 and with the 0-ring seal mounted on the inlet neck 19 of the armature housing 20 in the neck re-ceiving space 33 as a mounting unit.
