Described container comprises solid inserts 8 further, and solid inserts 8 forms the inner seal of the end towards internal capacity 4 of closed neck 3.In other words, described inner seal closes described internal capacity 4.Described insert 8 such as contacts with the inwall 11 of described container, and the inwall 11 especially against described container is settled.Insert 8 such as comprises the outer part 10 and central part 12 that limit described inner seal, and the diameter of inner seal is equivalent to the internal diameter of neck 3.Described insert 8 is generally plate-like.Selectively, the outer part 10 of described insert can be Frusto-conical slightly, or comprise the plane domain surrounding neck, and around described plane domain, one or more frusto-conical region is slightly arranged in the periphery as far as described plane domain continuously, and the periphery of described plane domain can such as be formed by folded edge 13.

Described insert 8 preferably comprises the multilayer insert of barrier layere, and barrier layere is such as made up of the metal of EVOH or especially aluminium, and each surface coverage of barrier layere has one or more protective cover, and protective cover is made up of polymeric material especially.

In this case, described neck 3 and described insert 4 are arranged in the region of described tube head 2.Described tube head may further include such as from the shoulder 20 that described neck 3 extends.The material of tube head 2 surrounds the folded edge 13 of insert 8 to protect folded edge, at least partly especially to protect the metal level of described insert 8.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, described lid 1 is suitable for being threaded io on described neck 3 in this case.More accurately, described lid 1 can comprise negative thread 16, and negative thread 16 is suitable for engaging with the screw thread 6 of neck 3.Described lid has longitudinal direction corresponding with the longitudinal axis Z-Z of neck 3 when lid 1 is threaded io neck 3.Described lid 1 comprises the such as inner peripheral wall 15 being provided with described screw thread 16.Described peripheral wall 15 can be provided with longitudinal ridges 18, and longitudinal ridges 18 is positioned at outside more easily to handle lid 1.

Described lid comprises the beam bear 14 being suitable for cutting and/or pierce through inner seal.As shown in Figure 2, described lid 1 is designed to be placed in the spare space on neck 3, and wherein beam bear 14 is at least partially in neck 3, and inner seal keeps not being destroyed simultaneously.

Described container can comprise removable spacing ring 22, and when in spare space, spacing ring 22 is arranged as and is placed in the main body of container, is placed in here on the shoulder 20 of the described tube head 2 be positioned at around neck 3.Therefore, when the protecgulum 1 of first time use is threaded io neck 3, described ring keeps a space between lid 1 and shoulder 20.Therefore beam bear 14 extends in neck 3 inside with the distance apart from insert 8 non-zero, and prevents inner seal be cut or bore a hole thus.Described spacing ring 22 can comprise multiple rib, and above-mentioned multiple rib is suitable for making described collar placed in the middle around neck 3.Described ring 22 is preferably formed independent of described lid 1, described lid 1 can be removed from described container, and described ring 22 can not be made also to be removed.

Described spacing ring 22 is such as annular.In a variant, it can have the shape of a part for circle, and its free end forms the draw ring that can be easily grasped by a user.

As shown in Figure 3, described lid 1 is also suitable for being positioned the use location on described neck 3, and wherein inner seal is cut by described beam bear 14 and/or pierced through.In figure 3, insert 8 has been illustrated and has been in the state of not piercing through, to show beam bear 14 penetrating through described insert better.

When using, user, from neck 3 twist-off cap 1, then removed spacing ring 22 and was screwed back by lid 1 on neck 3 until it is near neck 3 or shoulder 20 first time.Beam bear 14 has cut thus or has penetrated insert 8, or cuts or penetrate the central part 12 of inner seal of formation tube head 2 of insert more accurately.

According to the present invention, described beam bear 14 comprises cylindrical body 30, and cylindrical body 30 is designed to cut and/or pierce through described inner seal.Described cylinder is roughly hollow cylinder shape." be roughly cylindrical shape " and be interpreted as representing that described cylindrical body can be Frusto-conical slightly to reach the object of the demoulding especially, namely there is the drift angle being less than 2 ° or 1 °.In other words, beam bear 14 has the transversal surface of annular substantially.The wall thickness of described beam bear 14 can be 10% to 20% of its outer diameter D e.

Described cylindrical body 30 can extend along the whole length of described beam bear 14.Described beam bear 14 such as comprises the transverse separators 34 beam bear 14 being divided into two chambeies 36,38 further.One 36 in the described chamber outside in the face of container, and/or another in described chamber 38 is formed by described cylinder.Another described chamber 38 is thus in the face of the internal capacity 4 of described container.Described separator 34 is such as arranged in the first half of lid.In other words, described separator 34 is more farther from far-end 32 end opposite than it from the far-end 32 of beam bear 14.Even if such feature also can strengthen the protection of the product of splendid attire in container after inner seal is opened.In fact pointed out that product is received in the described chamber 38 formed by cylinder, product can cover the wall of cylinder, covers the lower surface of separator 34 especially.This part of product advantageously provides filtering effect, and this reduces and outside oxygen exchange.

As shown in Figure 6, according in another variant of the present invention, described separator 34 also can be arranged in the latter half of lid, that is, the far-end 32 of described separator 34 to beam bear 14 is nearer to the end opposite of far-end 32 than it.Such feature can be strengthened beam bear 14 and make it more durable, and, such as reduce when described beam bear hits neck 3 and damage risk.

Described lid 1 is such as formed by injection mo(u)lding, is formed especially by injection molding.

The described peripheral wall 15 of lid is such as connected by the upper wall 17 of described lid with described beam bear 14.Described upper wall 17 can have the injection point of lid.

Described beam bear 14 is advantageously designed to make the cutting in inner seal be that local is cut, make the part of having cut of inner seal still be attached to the remainder of insert 8 in the position of use, and this prevent the Product mix forming splendid attire in the material of insert 8 and associated vessel.

By example, assuming that cutting completely in inner seal is 360 ° of cuttings, namely by the circular cut that swivelling cover 1 produces, then inner seal is advantageously cut to the connection retaining and be enough to binding force between the central part 12 guaranteeing to have cut and outer part 10.

Described cylinder has the far-end 32 being advantageously provided with cutting tool.Described cutting tool is such as extending across the shape on the inclined-plane of the whole circumference of cylinder.In other words, free end 32 tilts relative to the Normal plane of the axis Z-Z of neck 3, and the inner seal formed by insert 8 is usually placed in this Normal plane of the axis Z-Z of neck 3.The inclined-plane which is formed such as is arranged as in the face of chamber 38, and chamber 38 is in the face of the internal capacity 4 of container.The thickness of cylinder reduces to make free end 32 sharp keen thus partly, and this makes beam bear 14 more easily cut inner seal conversely.

Described in the Thickness Ratio of the described wall of described beam bear 14, the thickness of cutting tool is larger.Beam bear rigidity but the validity of cutting tool is unaffected more thus, described cutting tool still has the thickness that can start and pierce through and cut inner seal.

As shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 to Figure 11, point out in a variant, the whole cutting teeth 40 circumferentially that described cutting tool can comprise the far-end 32 being such as evenly distributed in beam bear and/or cut gap 42.Even if when such as in the factory lid being placed on pipe and being upper tooth and/or gap damaged, inner seal also can be cut in multiple tooth 40 and/or gap 42.

In the variant shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, described tooth 40 such as has zig-zag.In this situation, 12 teeth 40 are had to be evenly distributed in the circumferentially whole of the far-end 32 of beam bear.

In variant shown in Fig. 7 to Fig. 9, the described instrument be made up of four teeth 40 is distributed in the circumferentially whole of the far-end 32 of beam bear 14, and the angle between each tooth is 90 °.

In variant as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, described instrument forms by diametrically reciprocal two gaps 42.

The height in described tooth 40 or described gap 42 is less than the height of beam bear 14, makes beam bear roughly keep tubular.

" height of beam bear " is interpreted as the height hp of outshot referring to beam bear here, i.e. the part that extends of the far-end 32 from the remote edge of lid 1 towards beam bear of beam bear.The remote edge of lid 1 be designed in spare space near spacing ring 22 and/or in the closed use location of pipe near the edge of the lid of the shoulder 20 of described tube head 2.

By example, the bottom-to-top-height of the outshot of lid 1 and beam bear is between 10mm to 30mm.

By example, described tooth 40 can be designed so that the ratio of hd/De and/or the ratio of hd/hp are less than 1/3,1/5 or 1/10, hd is the height of described tooth 40, De is the external diameter of described cylinder, hp is the height of the outshot of beam bear 14, as shown in Fig. 5,8 and 10, which show discussed height hd and height hp.

Similarly, described gap 42 can be designed so that the ratio of he/De and/or the ratio of he/hp are less than 1/3,1/5 or 1/10, he is the height in gap 42, De is the external diameter of described cylinder, hp is the height of the outshot of beam bear 14, as shown in figure 11, which show discussed height he and height hp.

In a unshowned embodiment, one at least one and/or gap 42 in tooth 40 can have different height hd or height he.Each in tooth and/or gap preferably has differing heights.By example, described cylinder can comprise three teeth with three differing heights, and they are preferably evenly distributed in the circumferentially whole of the far-end 32 of beam bear 14, and the angle between each tooth is 120 °.Height difference between tooth and/or gap can promote to cut the local of inner seal with the remainder making the part be cut of inner seal keep being attached to insert 8 in use location, and this prevents from forming the material of insert 8 and the Product mix of associated vessel splendid attire.In this way, prevent and cut circle completely in inner seal.

Referring again to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, should be noted that described neck 3 has internal diameter Di, described cylinder has outer diameter D e, as already mentioned.Point out, form special actv. when the ratio of De/Di is greater than 0/8 or 0/9 and cut, wherein De with Di measures with identical unit.

Described cylinder is advantageously designed to: when when use location, pierces through described internal capacity 4 with the distance h being greater than required separation distance, to make insert 8 be out of shape in the mode of the elastic deformability exceeding described insert 8.

For the insert of the above-mentioned type, the penetration range h that cylinder enters container such as makes the ratio of h/De be greater than 0/6 or 0/7, and wherein h and De measures with same units.

When lid 1 being positioned on neck 3 on the manufacturing line of factory, in order to reduce the risk of the far-end 32 damaging beam bear 14, described neck 3 can have inwall, and this inwall comprises the region (not shown) that at least one longitudinal axis Z-Z relative to neck tilts.The region of described inclination is positioned on the top of neck, i.e. the side, end opened wide to external container of neck.Especially, described region from the end of the external open towards container of neck 3, on the direction of the end that the internal capacity 4 towards container of neck 3 opens wide, gradually near axis Z-Z.

The region of described inclination extends across neck 3 inwall of small scale, such as, be less than 1/8 or 1/10 of the internal height of neck.The internal height of neck 3 being measured from the end unlimited towards the internal capacity 4 of container to the end that external container opens wide to neck 3 of neck 3.

Preferably, tilt to be formed relative to axis Z-Z and be less than 45 ° or be less than the angle of 30 °.

Therefore, when when factory application lid, and if especially as operculum 1 does not correctly collide in the far-end 32 of lid 1 placed in the middle and the end of neck 3 relative to neck 3, then the region of this inclination can guide beam bear 14.Therefore the region of described inclination reduces the risk damaging far-end and/or cutting tool.
