Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tubenverschluß nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a tube closure according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Tubenverschlüsse sind vielfältig bekannt. Bekannte, im Handel befindliche Tuben bestehen in der Regel aus Kunststoff und weisen auch einen Kunststoffverschluß auf, der in der Regel als Drehverschluß zum Aufschrauben auf den Tubenhals ausgebildet ist. Hierzu weist der Tubenhals regelmäßig ein Außengewinde auf während in dem Tubenverschluß ein Innengewinde eingearbeitet ist. Tubenverschlüsse können auch auf andere Weise an der Tube befestigt werden, beispielsweise durch Aufstecken oder Aufklipsen.There are many different types of tube closures. Common commercially available tubes are usually made of plastic and have a plastic closure, which is usually designed as a twist-off cap that is screwed onto the tube neck. The tube neck usually has an external thread, while the tube closure has an internal thread. Tube closures can also be attached to the tube in other ways, for example by pushing or clipping them on.
Bekannte Tubenverschlüsse weisen den Nachteil auf, daß insbesondere ältere Menschen und Kinder mit feuchten Händen leicht abrutschen, wenn sie die Tube zu öffnen versuchen.Known tube closures have the disadvantage that older people and children with wet hands in particular easily slip when they try to open the tube.
Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, einen Tubenverschluß so auszubilden, daß er auch von Personen mit wenig Kraft und auch bei Feuchtigkeit leicht und sicher geöffnet und verschlossen werden kann.The task is therefore to design a tube closure in such a way that it can be opened and closed easily and safely by people with little strength and even in damp conditions.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit dem kennzeichnenden Merkmal des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is achieved with the characterizing feature of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.
Ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below.
Ein an sich bekannter Tubenverschluß besteht aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus Polypropylen, und weist im wesentlichen zylindrische Gestalt auf, wobei eine Stirnseite des Zylinders fehlt. Der Zylinder besteht also lediglich aus der Mantelfläche und einer Stirnseite. Durch die fehlende Stirnseite ist das Innere des Zylinders eröffnet. DiesesA known tube closure is made of plastic, for example polypropylene, and is essentially cylindrical in shape, with one end of the cylinder missing. The cylinder therefore only consists of the outer surface and one end. The interior of the cylinder is opened up through the missing end. This
weist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zum Aufbringen des Tubenverschlusses auf eine Tube auf, die in der Regel aus einem Außengewinde besteht, welches entweder unmittelbar an der Innenseite des Zylinders angeordnet ist oder innerhalb eines kleineren, mit dem Tubenverschluß einstückig gebildeten Innenzylinders. Ferner weist die Innenseite des Zylinders eine Abdichtvorrichtung auf, die bei aufgesetztem Tubenverschluß in die Austrittsöffhung der Tube eindringt oder diese umgibt.has a fastening device for applying the tube closure to a tube, which generally consists of an external thread, which is either arranged directly on the inside of the cylinder or within a smaller inner cylinder formed in one piece with the tube closure. The inside of the cylinder also has a sealing device which, when the tube closure is in place, penetrates into or surrounds the outlet opening of the tube.
In alternativen Gestaltungen kann anstelle eines Gewindes auch ein Schnappverschluß oder ein anderer Verschluß- bzw. Befestigungsmechanismus vorgesehen sein.In alternative designs, a snap lock or other locking or fastening mechanism may be provided instead of a thread.
Die Außenseite des zylinderförmigen Tubenverschlusses, also die Mantelfläche und die obere, der Tube abgewandte Stirnfläche, ist mit einer Gummierung versehen. Diese Gummierung ist etwa 1 mm stark und im Spritzgußverfahren auf den Tubenverschluß aufgebracht, so daß sie von selbst auf dem Kunststoff-Tubenverschluß haftet.The outside of the cylindrical tube closure, i.e. the outer surface and the upper face facing away from the tube, is provided with a rubber coating. This rubber coating is about 1 mm thick and is applied to the tube closure using an injection molding process, so that it adheres to the plastic tube closure by itself.
Durch die Gummierung ist der Tubenverschluß mit einer Hand gut greifbar und kann leicht montiert und demontiert werden. Auch bei feuchtem Tubenverschluß wird ein Abrutschen der Hand auf dem Verschluß zuverlässig verhindert. Der gummierte Tubenverschluß ist also insbesondere für alte, kranke, beispielsweise an Gelenkrheumatismus leidende Menschen vorteilhaft, jedoch auch für Kinder, die noch wenig Kraft in den Händen besitzen. Gerade bei Tuben, die in der Umgebung von Wasser eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise Zahnpastatuben, erleichtert die Gummierung die Handhabung des Tubenverschlusses erheblich.The rubber coating means that the tube cap can be easily gripped with one hand and can be easily assembled and disassembled. Even if the tube cap is wet, the hand is reliably prevented from slipping on the cap. The rubberized tube cap is therefore particularly beneficial for old, sick people, for example those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, but also for children who do not have much strength in their hands. The rubber coating makes handling the tube cap much easier, especially for tubes that are used in water environments, such as toothpaste tubes.
In alternativen Ausführungsformen kann die Gummierung nur auf der äußeren Zylinderfläche des Tubenverschlusses angebracht sein. Anstelle im Spritzgußverfahren angespritzt zu sein, kann diese Gummierung auch nachträglich aufgebracht werden, beispielsweise durch Verkleben, durch Thermoschweißen oder mit Hilfe eines Zweikomponenten-Kautschuk-Lacksystems.In alternative embodiments, the rubber coating can only be applied to the outer cylindrical surface of the tube closure. Instead of being injection-moulded, this rubber coating can also be applied subsequently, for example by gluing, by thermal welding or using a two-component rubber-paint system.
