Opfindelsen vedrører et låg med børnesikring og til en kasse- eller tromleformet beholder med en indre randforstærkning, specielt med en ombukket rand, hvilket låg har en ydre over randforstærkningen liggende rand, og med to fjedrende anbragt, udefra aktiverbare, krog-5 formede låseorganer, der er indrettet til at blive aktiveret udefra og til at gribe fjedrende ind under og bag randforstærkningen, og hvis aktiveringselementer har en indbyrdes afstand, som er større end spændvidden af en barnehånd, og over for hvilke der er placeret mindst ét krogelement, som ikke kan aktiveres udefra.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a child-resistant lid and to a box or drum-shaped container having an inner rim reinforcement, especially with a folded rim, which has an outer rim overlying the rim reinforcement, and having two resiliently arranged, externally actuated, hook-shaped locking means. adapted to be externally actuated and to engage resiliently beneath and behind the rim reinforcement, and whose actuating elements have a mutual spacing greater than the span of a child's hand and over which are located at least one hook member which cannot activated from the outside.

10 Et sådant låg findes beskrevet fx i dansk fremlæggelsesskrift nr, 149053.Such a lid is described, for example, in Danish Patent Publication No. 149053.

Låseorganerne i det fra det ovennævnte danske fremlæggelsesskrift kendte låg er udformet på en sådan måde, at der kun med meget dybe indsnit, som rager ind i låget, opnås tilfredsstillende bevægelighed 15 af de aktiverbare låseorganer, hvilket i visse tilfælde fremkalder en ufuldkommen lukning.The locking means in the lid known from the above-mentioned Danish publication specification are designed in such a way that only with very deep incisions protruding into the lid, satisfactory movement of the activatable locking means is obtained, which in some cases produces an imperfect closure.

I en alternativ udførelsesform af det fra det ovennævnte danske fremlæggelsesskrift kendte låg er låseorganerne indrettet til at blive aktiveret radialt og bevæget omkring en lodret akse. I denne 20 udførelsesform kan en sammerihægtning i forbindelse med åbningen ikke med sikkerhed undgås. I alle tilfælde er dette kendte lågs stabilitet eller styrke ikke tilfredsstillende, som følge af den store indsnitsdybde .In an alternative embodiment of the lid known from the aforementioned Danish publication specification, the locking means are arranged to be activated radially and moved about a vertical axis. In this embodiment, a joint attachment in connection with the opening cannot be safely avoided. In all cases, the stability or strength of this known lid is not satisfactory due to the great depth of incision.

Et formål med opfindelsen er at tilvejebringe et låg af den indled-25 ningsvis angivne art, hvilket låg har en stabilitet, der er bedre end den stabilitet, som opnås med det fra det ovennævnte danske fremlæggelsesskrift kendte låg, hvilket låg lukker tæt og ikke hægter sig fast, og yderligere er let at fremstille. Dette formål opnås med et låg af den indledningsvis angivne art, hvilket låg er ejendommeligt 30 ved, at låget har et forhøjet randområde med tre ringe, der strækker sig lodret mod beholderen, og som er placeret koncentrisk i forhold til hinanden og har en ydre stablingsfordybning, som ligger i alt væsentligt mellem en yderste og en midterste ring, at en indre ring er forbundet med en indre afdækning, at den yderste ring danner 2It is an object of the invention to provide a lid of the type indicated initially, which lid has a stability which is better than the stability obtained with the lid known from the above-mentioned Danish presentation which closes tightly and does not snag. get firm, and further easy to manufacture. This object is achieved with a lid of the type mentioned initially, which lid is peculiar in that the lid has an elevated peripheral area with three rings extending vertically towards the container, which are concentric with respect to each other and having an outer stacking recess which is substantially between an outer and a middle ring, that an inner ring is connected to an inner cover, that the outer ring forms 2

randen, at den midterste ring strækker sig nedefter og et stykke forbi den yderste ring tilnærmelsesvis svarende til størrelsen af randforstærkningen, at låseorganerne er dannet af indsnit i den midterste ring med tilhørende kroge, over hvilke der i stablingsfor-5 dybningen er udformet gennembrydninger med forstærkningsribber, og at indsnittene ved de aktiverbare låseorganer er ført gennem den yders te ring og eventuelt gennem forstærkningsribberne og ind i randområdet tilnærmelsesvis grænsende op til den inderste ring.the rim, that the middle ring extends downward and a bit past the outer ring approximately equal to the size of the rim reinforcement, that the locking means are formed by incisions in the middle ring with associated hooks, over which breakthroughs with reinforcing ribs are formed in the stacking depression. and that the incisions at the actuable locking means are passed through the outer ring and optionally through the reinforcing ribs and into the peripheral region approximately adjacent to the inner ring.

Med denne konstruktion, i hvilken der ikke er indsnit, som strækker 10 sig længere ind i randområdet end til den inderste ring, er låseorganerne lette at aktivere, uden at lågets stabilitet påvirkes i uheldig i retning. | iWith this construction, in which there are no incisions extending 10 further into the peripheral region than to the inner ring, the locking means are easy to activate without adversely affecting the stability of the lid. | in

Med den for opfindelsen karakteristiske konstruktion af et låg med j børnesikring opnås den yderligere fordel, at låget er simpelt at 15 fremstille, idet der ikke i låget ifølge opfindelsen er indsnit, hvilket muliggør brugen af simple værktøjer til fremstillingen, og i hvilket yderligere gør det specielt simpelt at fjerne et færdigtpro-duceret låg fra formningsværktøjerne. Samtidigt er det med den for opfindelsen karakteristiske konstruktion umiddelbart muligt ved 20 visuel inspektion at kontrollere, om låget er låst forsvarligt og korrekt på plads.With the characteristic construction of the invention with a child-resistant lid, the additional advantage is obtained that the lid is simple to manufacture, since there is no incision in the lid according to the invention, which enables the use of simple tools for manufacture and in which further it does particularly simple removal of a finished-produced lid from the molding tools. At the same time, with the construction characteristic of the invention, it is immediately possible by 20 visual inspection to check whether the lid is locked securely and correctly in place.

Over for låseorganerne kan der findes et krogelement, der ligeledes kan være udformet fjedrende. Til dette er indsnit i den miderste ring tilstrækkelig. Over dette krogelement findes der ligeledes en gennem-25 brydning i stabelfordybningen. I overensstemmelse med opfindelsen opnås der en stram fjedervirkning ved, at indsnittene i randområdet ------- ender ved den inderste ring. Den til åbning af låseorganet nødvendige kraft fordeles dermed over et område af ringen, hvilket områdes bredde overstiger bredden af låseorganet. Herved bliver imidlertid 30 også lågets fordybede indre del og den indre afdækning delagtiggjort i fjedervirkningen. For at reducere den derved forekommende knækmodstand foreslås det i overensstemmelse med opfindelsen, at afdækningen udformes hvælvet.Opposite the locking means there is a hook element which can also be resiliently formed. For this, incisions in the middle ring are sufficient. Above this hook element there is also a breakthrough in the stack recess. In accordance with the invention, a tight spring action is obtained by the incisions in the rim area ------- ending at the inner ring. The force required to open the locking means is thus distributed over an area of the ring, the width of the area exceeding the width of the locking means. However, in this way, the recessed inner part of the lid and the inner cover are also made part of the spring action. In order to reduce the resulting crack resistance, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the cover be formed in the vault.

Det foreslås endvidere i overensstemmelse med opfindelsen, at den midterste ring strækker sig ned forbi beholderens ombukkede rand, eller at låseorganerne og krogelementet strækker sig nedefter og et stykke forbi den midterste ring svarende til højden af krogelemen-5 tet.It is further proposed in accordance with the invention that the middle ring extends down past the folded edge of the container or that the locking means and hook member extend downwards and a distance past the middle ring corresponding to the height of the hook member.

Den inderste ring opfylder i overensstemmelse med opfindelsen to funktioner. For det første fremkalder den en ønsket stram fjedervirkning til aktivering af låseorganet. For det andet danner den imidlertid også et godt underlag for brugerens tommelfinger, medens de 10 andre fingre trykker udefra på den yderste rings opslidsede område.According to the invention, the inner ring fulfills two functions. First, it produces a desired tight spring action for actuating the locking member. Second, however, it also provides a good backing for the user's thumb, while the other 10 fingers press from the outer ring's slotted area.

For at opfylde denne funktion ligger det også inden for den foreliggende opfindelses idé i stedet for den indre ring blot at udforme ringsegmenter, der ligger over for låseorganerne, idet ringsegmenterne udgør dele af griberender eller -dele. Den resterende del af den 15 indre afdækning er i dette tilfælde ikke udformet fordybet, men har samme højde som randområdet.In order to fulfill this function, it is also within the idea of the present invention, rather than the inner ring, to simply design ring segments which are opposite the locking means, the ring segments forming parts of gripping ends or parts. In this case, the remaining portion of the inner cover is not designed to be hollow but has the same height as the peripheral area.

Som beskrevet ovenfor fremviser låget ifølge opfindelsen stor stabilitet og god håndteringsevne samtidig med, at det er simpelt at fremstille.As described above, the lid of the invention exhibits great stability and good handling while being simple to manufacture.

20 Opfindelsen vil i det følgende blive nærmere forklaret under henvisning til tegningen, på hvilken, fig. 1 viser et låg ifølge opfindelsen, set oppefra, fig. 2 et snit gennem låget og fig. 3 låget set nedefra.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a plan view of a lid according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a section through the lid and FIG. 3 the cover from below.

25 Med cifrene 1 til 3 er angivet tre ringe, som danner lågets ydre rammer. En indre afdækning 6 er forbundet til den indre ring 1 ved den indre ring l's nederste kant. Af fig. 2 fremgår det, at afdækningen er udformet opefter hvælvet.25 The numerals 1 to 3 indicate three rings which form the outer frames of the lid. An inner cover 6 is connected to the inner ring 1 at the lower edge of the inner ring 1. In FIG. 2 it appears that the cover is formed upwardly of the vault.

Til den indre ring 1 er der ved den indre ring l's øverste kant 30 forbundet et randområde 4, som strækker sig til den yderste ring 3.To the inner ring 1 is connected at the upper edge 30 of the inner ring 1 an edge region 4 which extends to the outer ring 3.

Mellem den indre ring 1 og den ydre ring 3 er den midterste ring 2 placeret, idet dens afstand fra den yderste ring svarer til beholderens ombukning 13 eller randforstærkning. Randområdet 4 har en ydreBetween the inner ring 1 and the outer ring 3, the middle ring 2 is located, its distance from the outer ring corresponding to the bending 13 or rim reinforcement of the container. The border area 4 has an exterior

4 fordybning eller stablingsfordybning 5, som grænser op til den yderste ring 3. Stablingsfordybningen strækker sig et stykke indefter svarende til en nederste ombukning 14 af en beholder, der er stablet oven på låget, eller til beholderens ombukning 13 eller randforstærk-5 ning.4, or stacking recess 5 adjacent to the outer ring 3. The stacking recess extends inwardly, corresponding to a bottom folding 14 of a container stacked on top of the lid, or to the container folding 13 or edge reinforcement.

Den yderste ring 3 er sikkert forbundet til den på låget stablede beholder og til den lukkede beholder og kan dermed på simpel måde sikres ved hjælp af et klæbebånd.The outer ring 3 is securely connected to the container stacked on the lid and to the closed container and can thus be simply secured by means of an adhesive tape.

Den midterste ring 2 rager ned i beholderen forbi den yderste ring 3 10 i det mindste forbi beholderens ombukning 13.The middle ring 2 protrudes into the container past the outer ring 3 10 at least past the bend 13 of the container.

] Låseorganer 7 (fortrinsvis to) og et krogelement 12 er placeret med j Ϊ samme eller uens afstande omkring låget. Det er i denne forbindelse vigtigt, at låseorganernes indbyrdes afstand er større end spændvidden af en bamehånd.] Locking means 7 (preferably two) and a hook member 12 are located at equal or different distances around the lid. In this connection, it is important that the spacing of the locking means be greater than the span of a bow hand.

15 Låseorganerne 7 og krogelementet 12 er udformet på den midterste ring 2, og de rager ned fra ringen, så at krogene 9 i lukket tilstand griber ind under beholderens ombukning 13.The locking means 7 and the hook member 12 are formed on the middle ring 2 and they project from the ring so that the hooks 9 in the closed state engage during the folding of the container 13.

Over krogene 9 findes der gennembrydninger 10, der tjener som kontrolvinduer. Ved siden af germembrydningerne findes der forstærk-20_ ningsribber 11, som understøttes af beholderens ombukning 13. Låseorganerne 7 kan således dannes af indsnit 8 i· lågets randområde 4.Through the hooks 9 there are breakthroughs 10 which serve as control windows. Next to the germ breaks, there are reinforcing ribs 11 which are supported by the bending of the container 13. The locking means 7 can thus be formed by incisions 8 in the edge area of the lid 4.

Indsnittene 8 strækker sig gennem ringene 3 og 2 indtil grænsen mellem randområdet 4 og den inderste ring 1. Forstærkningsribberne 11 kan fortrinsvis være gennemskåret og delt. Indsnittene kan imidlertid 25 også, som vist i fig. 3, forløbe ved siden af forstærkningsribberne. !The incisions 8 extend through the rings 3 and 2 until the boundary between the rim region 4 and the inner ring 1. The reinforcing ribs 11 can preferably be cut and split. However, as shown in FIG. 3, run adjacent to the reinforcing ribs. !

Omkring lågets periferi kan der desuden være fordelt andre forstærk- i ningsribber til frembringelse af tilstrækkelig anlægsflade mod ombukningen 13.In addition, around the periphery of the lid, other reinforcing ribs may be distributed to provide sufficient abutment surface against the bend 13.

Lågets indre område 6 kan imidlertid også være udformet med samme 30 højde som randen 4. I stedet for déii indre ring 1 kræves der i dette tilfælde griberender, som ligger over -for låseorganerne 7.However, the inner region 6 of the lid may also be formed with the same height as the rim 4. Instead of the inner ring 1, in this case gripping ends which lie opposite the locking means 7 are required.
