Abstract

A closure for a container, which for receiving hot and cold liquids, eg. B. drinks is provided and consists of a closure base and a functional element is known. According to the invention, a sealing element is provided for sealing between the container and the closure, wherein the sealing element has a cylindrical ring shape substantially planar at a first end and normal to the vertical orientation of the cylindrical ring shape and at an opposite end substantially planar and at an angle to the the first end is formed, wherein the sealing element is positioned between an outer support wall and an inner support wall, wherein the inner support wall protrudes beyond the sealing element, so that the sealing element is located in a lower position to the inner support wall and wherein on the inside of the outer support wall Thread is provided for screwing to the container.

Description

The invention relates to a closure for a container for holding hot and cold liquids, eg. B. beverages according to the preamble of claim 1.

From the prior art manifold drinking containers are known, such. As plastic bottles, glass bottles, thermoses or drinking containers made of metal. These drinking containers have variously shaped closures. Here, for functional or creative reasons, design or functional elements are used. The functional elements (also called handle or eyelets) facilitate the opening and closing and the transport of the drinking containers. However, the closures are not suitable for personalization, or only to a limited extent.

From the US 672 238 p For example, a closure is known that includes a functional element disposed over a cylindrical closure. The round shape of the closure with the obliquely arranged functional element facilitates the handling of the multipurpose container, but has the disadvantage that with small, the usual beverage bottles corresponding filling openings, closing is difficult because the asymmetry proves to be a hindrance. They cause tilting, which is detrimental to easy opening or closing. In addition, the top surface has little or no surface area, which can be used for personalization. Another disadvantage is that no seal has been described.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a closure which is easy to handle, has a sufficient surface area and seals well.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

The closure for a container, which for receiving hot and cold liquids, eg. B. drinks is provided, consists of a closure base and a functional element. It is characterized in that a sealing element is provided for sealing between the container and the closure, wherein the sealing element has a cylindrical annular shape which at a first end substantially planar and normal to the vertical orientation of the cylindrical ring shape and at an opposite end substantially planar, however is deviated at an angle to the first end, wherein the sealing element between an outer support wall and an inner support wall is positioned, wherein the inner support wall protrudes beyond the sealing element, so that the sealing element is in a lower position to the inner support wall and wherein at the Inside the outer support wall a thread is provided for screwing onto the container.

In a preferred embodiment, the closure base has a cylindrical shape formed at a first end substantially planar and normal to the vertical orientation of the cylindrical shape and at an opposite end substantially planar and at an angle β other than the first end.

In a further preferred embodiment, the functional element is arranged at an angle α, greater than 90 °, to the demolding surface.

In a further embodiment of the closure, at least one web is formed between the outer support wall and the inner support wall, which web corresponds with at least one recess on the sealing element.

In a particular variant, the closure also has a larger thread than in conventional drinking bottles, particularly preferred here is a diameter of 35 mm, +/- 5 mm, and thereby allows easy refilling and cleaning. The oblique arrangement of the demolding surface, in conjunction with the opposite position of the functional element, establishes a symmetry that allows easy handling when opening and closing the multipurpose container.

The closure consists of a cylindrical base body, the closure base, which has a normal to the vertical base formed surface and an angle thereto arranged top surface, the Entformungsfläche. At an angle greater than 90 ° to the top surface, a handle, the functional element is arranged, which allows easy handling and at the same time allows a simple tool design for the production of the closure. By this arrangement can be dispensed with slide in the tool, for demolding undercut surfaces. In addition to an outer support wall, the closure also has an inner support wall positioned congruently therewith, between which a sealing element is arranged. The sealing element has a shape corresponding to the closure and is secured against rotation by a web in the closure and a recess in the sealing element. The inner and outer supporting walls project beyond the sealing element, which is thus optimally embedded. The Entformungsfläche is increased because the cylindrical surface is cut obliquely and in conjunction with the position of the functional element suitable to allow large-scale personalization. These personalizations may consist of, for example, printing, engraving, laser processing, or the like.

In the drawings, the subject invention is shown schematically and will be described with reference to the figures below, wherein like elements are provided with the same reference numerals. Showing:

5 a side view of the closure,

6 a back view of the clasp,

7 a view from the top of the lock,

8th a sectional view across the closure,

9 a sectional view through the closure,

10 an exploded view of the closure and

11 a view of the lock from below.

1 shows an isometric view of the multi-purpose container 1 with the lock 4 and the absorber 3 in an assembly.

2 shows the multipurpose container 1 in an exploded view. The multi-purpose container 1 consists of the components shown here, absorber 3 , Container 2 , Sealing element 5 and closure 4 ,

The 3 to 7 show different representations of the closure 4 , The closure 4 has a cylindrical shape, which on a base side, the provided with an internally threaded open screw side to the container 2 forms, is arranged normal to the cylinder axis and at an opposite Entformungsfläche 4c is formed at an angle β to the base side. At the demoulding surface 4c is a functional element 4b arranged, which at an angle α to Entformungsfläche 4c is positioned.

The 8th and 9 each show a sectional view through the closure 4 which are offset longitudinally and transversely through the cylinder axis by 90 ° to each other. The closure 4 includes an outer support wall 4d and an inner support wall 4e between which a sealing element 5 is arranged. On the inside of the outer supporting wall 4d is a thread 4f educated. The cylindrically shaped sealing element 5 is form-fitting to the closure 4 educated. A jetty 4g corresponds to the recess 5a and prevents a relative displacement of the two parts to each other.

10 shows an exploded view of the closure 1 , so that in the cavity of the closure 4 Insight is made possible. The form-fitting corresponding sealing element 5 is arranged as it is with a possible mounting in the shutter 4 would be used.

11 shows a view of the closure from below. The jetty 4g is between the inner support wall 4e and the outer supporting wall 4d arranged and limited.
