Description

The invention relates to a closure system for closing an opening of a container.

Different closures can be provided for bottles for storing liquids.

Against this background, a closure system with the features of claim 1 is presented. Embodiments of the closure system emerge from the dependent claims and the description.

The closure system according to the invention is designed or provided for closing an opening of a container. The closure system has a closure and a wooden casing, with a usually mechanical tamper-evident feature being integrated into the closure. The wooden casing is intended as an attachment for the closure and/or for enclosing the closure, the closure with the wooden casing placed thereon forming a compact composite workpiece or component. The wooden jacket is designed to cover the tamper-evident feature when the closure system closes the opening for the first time.

In the closure system, the closure and the wooden shell are fastened and/or connected to one another, e.g. glued, forming the workpiece.

The closure is made of metal, usually aluminum, and/or made of plastic. It is possible that the tamper-evident feature as a component of the closure is made of the same material as the closure. The wooden casing is made of wood and usually has a rotationally symmetrical surface and/or outer surface which is at least partially ellipsoid-shaped, for example spherical. The wooden casing has a usually rotationally symmetrical opening, for example a blind hole, which is designed to accommodate the closure. It is possible for an end of the wooden casing facing away from the opening to be flattened and/or designed as a flat, rotationally symmetrical disc.

It is conceivable that the tamper-proof feature includes at least one predetermined breaking point, usually several predetermined breaking points, which are integrated into the closure. The at least one predetermined breaking point remains intact and/or in an initial state when the workpiece is placed on the opening and thus when the opening is closed for the first time. When the opening of the container is opened for the first time, the at least one predetermined breaking point is designed to break open in a targeted manner.

The closure system is provided for a container that is designed to receive and/or store a flowable medium, usually a liquid, for example a food and/or a drink. The closure system is designed to seal the container, usually its opening, tightly, usually liquid-tight, for the medium to be stored or stored in the container.

It is possible for the closure and the wooden casing to be assembled as a finished workpiece or component and thus as a combination of the closure and the wooden casing placed on it after the container has been filled and as a "ready-to-use" closure system in one operation , usually during a first application of the closure system, on the container, for example a bottle, can be applied or is applied or is applied or is applied or has been applied on the opening of the container.

Furthermore, it is provided that the closure and the wooden casing, as a common workpiece, are to be pressed synchronously onto the opening and turned on during the usual first application, attachment and/or closure. Since the closure system forms the finished workpiece after its production, the closure and the wooden casing no longer have to be assembled before the container is closed for the first time.

The closure system is designed for a closure designed as a rotary closure and/or comprises a closure designed as a rotary closure with a tamper-evident seal, which is surrounded by the wooden casing placed thereon. The closure has a thread, usually internal threads, which is designed to match a thread, usually external threads, of the opening of the container. In addition, the closure system is designed for a container that is designed as a bottle and/or is made of glass.

Furthermore, for a first opening of the container, the wooden casing is to be actuated, usually twisted, the actuated, usually twisted, wooden casing being adapted to break the tamper-proof seal of the closure. It is possible that the twisted and / or rotating wooden casing is designed to perform a rotary movement when the container is first opened and thus when the closure system is first removed, which is intended to secure the originality via the turning, e.g. high-speed threads, to tear and/or break open.

The closure is to be moved synchronously with the wooden casing by moving, for example rotating, for example the wooden casing placed thereon, for example rotating it. A breaking and/or tearing open of the tamper-proof seal or the at least one predetermined breaking point of the closure results, for example, from a mechanical resistance between the workpiece, at least between the closure and the opening to which the workpiece is attached.

Furthermore, it is possible for a spout for the liquid to be arranged in the closure, it being possible for the spout and the tamper-proof seal to be mechanically connected and/or combined. The assembled workpiece accordingly comprises the wooden casing and the closure with the pouring spout and the tamper-proof seal. The spout is, for example, arranged on the inside of the closure. It is also possible for the spout to remain in the opening and/or a mouth of the container, for example in a mouth of the opening, after the closure system has been attached.

It is also possible for the wooden casing, which is designed ergonomically and/or for manual use, for example, to be designed as an aid for opening, carrying and stacking the container. The container or the closure system applied to it can be actuated solely via the wooden casing when the workpiece made up of it and the closure is applied to the opening, with the closure system being particularly easy to handle due to the size and surface structure of the wooden casing.

It is possible to vary and adapt a diameter of the closure and the wooden shell exposed thereon depending on the diameter of the opening of the container and/or a mouth of the container.

The tamper-evident feature is not visible and does not spoil the appearance when the closure system or the workpiece is placed on the container and closes its opening.

It goes without saying that the features mentioned above and those still to be explained below can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The invention is shown schematically on the basis of embodiments in the drawing and is described schematically and in detail with reference to the drawing.

1a , 1b show a schematic representation of an embodiment of the closure system according to the invention.

The figures are described coherently and comprehensively. The same components are assigned the same reference symbols.

The closure system 2 according to the invention for an opening of a container has as components a closure 4 and a wooden casing 6, which are assembled to form a workpiece, with the closure 4 being arranged in an opening of the wooden casing 6, with the closure 4 and the wooden casing 6 are glued together. The locking system is 2 in 1a in plan view parallel to an axis of rotation of the wooden casing 6 and in 1b shown schematically as a section through the closure system 2 in a perspective rotated by 90°. The wooden jacket 6 has a rotationally symmetrical outer wall with a flattened end.

A pouring spout 10 and a thread 12 are integrated into the closure, the thread 12, here an internal thread of the closure 4, being formed in a complementary or complementary manner to a thread on the opening or an external thread of the opening of the container and for closing the container is trained.

Furthermore, at least one predetermined breaking point 8 is integrated into the closure 4 . Usually several predetermined breaking points 8 are provided, only one being shown here. This at least one predetermined breaking point 8 forms a tamper-proof seal for the closure 4 and thus also for the closure system 2.

After filling the container, e.g. a bottle, with a free-flowing medium, e.g. a liquid, it is provided that the complete workpiece consisting of the closure 4 and the wooden casing 6 is placed on the opening in one operation and this is used to close it. When the opening is opened for the first time, the wooden jacket 6 is to be rotated and thereby designed to break open the at least one predetermined breaking point 8 and thereby the tamper-proof seal.
