Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en skruekapsel til anbringelse på en beholder, og hvor skruekapslen er udstyret med en i forhold til skruekapslen perifert beliggende indikatorring bestående af et flangelignende, lodret ringlegeme, 5 hvilken indikatorring omfatter indadragende tunger, som er indrettet til at samvirke med tilsvarende udadragende indretninger på beholderen på en sådan måde, at den nævnte indikatorring brydes, ved første gangs af skruning af kapslen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a screw capsule for mounting on a container, wherein the screw cap is provided with a circumferential indicator ring consisting of a flange-like vertical annular body, which indicator ring comprises inwardly extending tongues adapted to cooperate with corresponding outward projections. devices on the container in such a way that said indicator ring is broken at the first time of screwing the capsule.

Indikatorringen skal vise køberen af beholderen, om 10 der tidligere har været rørt ved skruekapslen eller ej, idet indikatorringen virker som garanti for, at beholderens indhold er ægte. Ved den fra beskrivelsen til europæisk patent nr. 8190 kendte udformning er indikatoringen forbundet til den øvrige del af skruekapslen ved hjælp af spinkle bro-15 er, der overrives ved det første forsøg til afskruning af kapslen. En ulempe ved den kendte udformning er, at indikatorringen efter overrivningen sidder løst på beholderens hals, og ringen kan derfor risikere at falde af, når man hælder indholdet ud. Hvis beholderen fx indeholder motorolie, kan 20 ringen falde ned i motoren. En anden ulempe ved den kendte løsning er, at ribberne skal være relativt tynde for at kunne rives over, hvilket indebærer, at der under transport- eller på-skruningsfasen er risiko for, at ribberne utilsigtet rives over.The indicator ring must show the buyer of the container whether or not 10 has previously been touched by the screw cap, the indicator ring acts as a guarantee that the contents of the container are genuine. In the embodiment known from the specification of European Patent No. 8190, the indication is connected to the other part of the screw capsule by means of flimsy bridges which are ripped off in the first attempt to unscrew the capsule. A disadvantage of the known design is that the indicator ring, after tearing, sits loosely on the neck of the container, and the ring may therefore fall off when pouring the contents. For example, if the container contains engine oil, the 20 ring may fall into the engine. Another disadvantage of the known solution is that the ribs must be relatively thin in order to be torn over, which means that during the transport or screw-on phase there is a risk of the ribs being unintentionally torn over.

25 Formålet med opfindelsen er at eliminere de nævnte ulemper. Skruekapslen ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved det i den kendtegnende del af krav 1 angivne. Ved denne udformning er det selve indikatorringen, som i det mindste delvis rives over, medens den stort set vandrette del, som 30 forbinder indikatorringen med skruekapslen, forbliver i det væsentlige intakt. Der er ingen risiko for, at indikatorringen falder af, når beholderens indhold hældes ud.The object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned. The screw capsule according to the invention is characterized by the part of claim 1. In this embodiment, the indicator ring itself is at least partially torn over, while the substantially horizontal portion connecting the indicator ring to the screw cap remains substantially intact. There is no risk of the indicator ring falling off when the contents of the container are poured out.

I forbindelse med de lodrette svækkelser på indikatorringen kan der på indikatorringen i umiddelbar nærhed af den 35 ene side af hver svækkelse ifølge opfindelsen være indrettet en indadragende tunge, der samvirker med et tilsvarende organ på beholderen. På den modsatte side af hver svækkelse kan der ud over den relativt tynde plastfilm væ-In connection with the vertical weakening of the indicator ring, an indicator tongue may be arranged in the immediate vicinity of one side of each weakening according to the invention, which cooperates with a corresponding member on the container. On the opposite side of each weakening, in addition to the relatively thin plastic film,

2 re udformet en forstærket del, der forbinder indikatorringen med skruekapslen. Denne forstærkning kan fx udgøres af en forlængelse af lodrette ribber på forsiden af skruekapslen, der er indrettet til at forbedre grebet ved på-5 skruning/afskruning. På denne måde vil indikatorringen kom me til at bestå af et antal enheder, som ved deres øvre ende er fastgjort til skruekapslen, og hvor hver enhed er løstbart forbundet med den påfølgende enhed ved hjælp af én eller flere tynde usvækkede, lodrette dele.2, a reinforced member is formed which connects the indicator ring to the screw cap. This reinforcement may, for example, consist of an extension of vertical ribs on the front of the screw cap, which is adapted to improve the grip by screw-on / unscrewing. In this way, the indicator ring will consist of a plurality of units attached at their upper end to the screw cap, each unit being releasably connected to the subsequent unit by one or more thin, unimpaired vertical portions.

10 Ved anbringelse af kapslen ifølge den forelig gende opfindelse vil hver enhed i indikatoren forblive forankret til selve kapslen efter første gangs afskruning.When applying the capsule of the present invention, each unit in the indicator will remain anchored to the capsule itself after the first screw-down.

Ved afskruningen vil imidlertid de fleste af de lodrette svækkelser blive brudt samtidig med at hver enhed, som er hængslet.til.sin del af indikatorringens kant, ved sin nedre kant vil stritte ud fra kapslen, således at det let kan ses, om der eventuelt har været manipuleret med kapslen.However, during unscrewing, most of the vertical deflections will be broken at the same time that each unit hinged to its portion of the indicator ring edge will protrude from its capsule at its lower edge, so that it can be easily seen if any has been manipulated with the capsule.

Den lodrette svækkelse udgøres fortrinsvis af en tynd film som strækker sig i dét mindste langs dele af den lodrette 20 svækkelse, mens eventuelle resterende dele er åbne.The vertical weakening is preferably constituted by a thin film extending at least along portions of the vertical weakening while any remaining parts are open.

En foretrukket udførelsesform for den foreliggende opfindelse skal i det følgende beskrives nærmere under henvisning til tegningen, hvor fig. 1 viser et delvis gennemskåret lodret billede 25 af en skruekapsel ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse, fig. 2 viser en vandret billede af skruekapslen ifølge fig. 1 set nedefra, og fig. 3 viser et vandret billede af en del af skruekapslen set ovenfra.A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: 1 is a partially cutaway vertical view 25 of a screw cap according to the present invention; FIG. 2 is a horizontal view of the screw cap of FIG. 1 is a bottom view, and FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a portion of the screw cap.

30 Fig. 1 viser et delvis gennemskåret lodret billede af en skruekapsel 1. Skruekapslen 1 er ved sin nedre ende udstyret med en indikator 2, som viser om kapslen 1 har været fjernet fra beholderen eller ej. Indikatoren 2 er dannet af et antal lodrette enheder 3, som er indbyrdes forbundet ved hjælp afFIG. 1 shows a partially sectioned vertical view of a screw capsule 1. The screw capsule 1 is provided at its lower end with an indicator 2 which indicates whether the capsule 1 has been removed from the container or not. The indicator 2 is formed by a plurality of vertical units 3 which are interconnected by means of

DK 154492 BDK 154492 B

3 en tynd plastfilm 4. Alternativt kan indikatorringen 2 være dannet af en sammenhængende ring som er udstyret med lodrette svækkelser. Indikatorringen 2 er desuden forbundet med skruekapslen 1 ved hjælp af vandret liggende holdeorganer som i det 5 mindste består af en vandret liggende, relativ tyk plastfilm 7, der strækker sig vandret ud fra skruekapslen 1 og ud til indikatorringen. Ud over den nævnte plastfilm 7 holdes indikatorringen 2 fortrinsvis på plads ved hjælp af udragende organer 6, fx i form af ribber.3 is a thin plastic film 4. Alternatively, the indicator ring 2 may be formed by a continuous ring equipped with vertical deflections. The indicator ring 2 is additionally connected to the screw cap 1 by means of horizontal holding means which at least 5 consists of a horizontal, relatively thick plastic film 7 extending horizontally from the screw cap 1 and out to the indicator ring. In addition to said plastic film 7, the indicator ring 2 is preferably held in place by means of protruding means 6, for example in the form of ribs.

10 På sin inderside er indikatorringen 2 udstyret med med"indadragende tunger 8, som samvirker med tilsvarende udad ragende organer eller dele på beholderen (ikke vist).On its inside, the indicator ring 2 is provided with "inwardly extending tongues 8, which cooperate with corresponding outwardly projecting members or parts of the container (not shown).

De nævnte indad ragende tunger 8 er fortrinsvis anbragt i umiddelbar nærhed af de lodrette svækkelser 4. De vandrette 15 ribber 6 er placeret på den modsatte side af svækkelsen 4 i forhold til tungen 8. På denne måde vil indikatorringen 2 bestå af et antal enheder 3, som langs deres øvre kant er fastgjort til skruekapslen 1 og som hver er løstbart forbundet med den tilstødende enhed 3 ved hjælp af lodrette svækkelser 4.Said inwardly projecting tongues 8 are preferably disposed in the immediate vicinity of the vertical weakening 4. The horizontal 15 ribs 6 are located on the opposite side of the weakening 4 with respect to the tongue 8. In this way, the indicator ring 2 will consist of a plurality of units 3 which are attached along their upper edge to the screw cap 1 and each of which is loosely connected to the adjacent unit 3 by vertical weakening 4.

20 Kapslen er desuden udstyret med indvendigt gevind 9 samt en lodret, ringformet tætningskonus eller et andet tætningsorgan 10. På ydersiden er kapslen 1 udstyret med lodrette griberibber 11, hvilke ribber 11 er tilvejebragt for at forbedre grebet ved skruning af kapslen 1. De vandrette ribber 25 6 som fungerer som forstærkning for hver enhed 3 i indikator ringen 2 kan med fordel være dannet som en forlængelse af de lodrette ribber 11.The capsule is additionally provided with an internal thread 9 and a vertical annular sealing cone or other sealing member 10. On the outside, the capsule 1 is provided with vertical gripping ribs 11, which ribs 11 are provided to improve the grip by screwing the capsule 1. The horizontal ribs Advantageously, 6 which acts as reinforcement for each unit 3 of the indicator ring 2 may advantageously be formed as an extension of the vertical ribs 11.

Som vist på fig. 2 og 3 er den forholdsvis tykke vandrette plastfilm 7 afbrudt i området for den lodrette svækkelse 3Q 4 og/eller tunge 8.As shown in FIG. 2 and 3, the relatively thick horizontal plastic film 7 is interrupted in the area of the vertical weakening 3Q 4 and / or tongue 8.

Desuden ligger den lodrette svækkelse 4 på den ene side af tungen 8. Det skal imidlertid anføres, at svækkelsen kan ligge på den anden side af tungen, dvs. i den spidse overgang mellem tungen 8 og ringlegemet 3. Alternativt kan der være 35 indrettet svækkelser på begge sider af tungen, fortrinsvis i nær tilknytning til denne.In addition, the vertical weakening 4 lies on one side of the tongue 8. However, it should be noted that the weakening may lie on the other side of the tongue, ie. in the acute transition between the tongue 8 and the annular body 3. Alternatively, there may be 35 weakening on both sides of the tongue, preferably in close association therewith.
