Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cap for containers, in particular to a novel cap made of thin sheet metal, which can be applied to the mouth of a glass or plastic beverage bottle.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is primarily intended for use on glass bottles, as are customary worldwide for non-alcoholic drinks (so-called "soft drinks") and brewery products, such as beer and ale.
  • non-alcoholic drinks so-called "soft drinks”
  • brewery products such as beer and ale.
  • the shape and size of the mouth end of such bottles are standardized, e.g. according to DIN 6094, whereby the open end or the so-called mouthpiece is provided with a bead whose outer diameter is 26.5 mm.
  • Bottled drinks can essentially be divided into two types, namely gas-containing and gas-free (so-called "still") drinks.
  • gas-containing and gas-free drinks For both types, it may be necessary to pass the bottles through autoclaves for sterilization purposes, in which they are exposed to high pressures caused by the elevated temperatures used.
  • the autoclave temperatures are between about 123 ° C and 133 ° C, these temperatures being maintained for about 40 minutes.
  • the pressures that occur can therefore reach values that tear the containers, and in practice this also occurs. This applies in particular to reusable glass bottles. Fatigue and weakness in used bottles are difficult to detect and the result of a break is not only result of the loss of the container contents, but also the inconveniences) resulting from the removal of debris from the machine.
  • Carbonated drinks e.g. Non-alcoholic drinks and beer are also often subjected to high pressures during storage and transportation, even in the hands of the user. Heating and shaking the container cause an increase in internal pressure, which can lead to a container explosion. This results in loss of containers and their contents during transport, storage and even in retail sales where high temperatures occur. Container explosions in the hands of the end user mostly occur with used containers, but also with new containers. As there is always such a danger for carbonated beverages for the consumer, this subsequently leads to permanent costs for the bottle manufacturers or the bottlers, who have to insure themselves against the legal consequences of injuries through insurance.
  • closure caps Another problem which occurs with the known closure caps is the breakage or damage to the container when the closure cap is applied or when the closure is opened by the consumer. This applies in particular to the so-called crown cork closures, which are held by a large number of folds or upsets and require a bottle opener for removal.
  • Caps of the type known under the name "Alka” have a tear tab and a tear line formed by a thinner, part of the wall of the cap being tearable. The users it is left, the remaining V e rschlußkappenteil removed from the bottle.
  • crown cork closures A further disadvantage of crown cork closures is that the sides of the closure cap are corrugated, which makes the legible application of graphic characters difficult.
  • the invention avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the invention is based on a cap for beverage bottles of the type which have a bead at the mouth, the cap being made of thin, flexible sheet metal which is bent into the shape of an upside-down bowl-like part with an essentially cylindrical side wall and a top wall.
  • a rounded connection point is provided at the transition point between the side wall and the top wall, which forms a seat for a layer of adhesive sealing material on the inside and extends only over part of the side wall and preferably only a part of the inner surface of the Top wall covered; so that a ring is formed from the sealing material.
  • the sealing material is chosen so that it lies sealingly against the axial end of the bead of the bottle when the cap is attached to the bottle.
  • a tear tab is attached, which projects from the side wall of the cap substantially horizontally after it is formed and, after the cap has been applied to the bottle, is generally bent downward over the roundness of the bottle below the bead edge.
  • a tear line is incorporated in the manufacture of the closure cap, which begins in the area of that corner in which the one side edge of the Tear flap hits the lower edge of the side wall.
  • This tear line extends from there upwards and in the circumferential direction along the side wall past the other side edge of the tear tab, this continued tear line part running at a short distance below the cover surface and essentially parallel to it.
  • the tear line extends approximately over half the circumference of the side wall and preferably ends at the same height at which the aforementioned continuous tear line part runs.
  • the middle part of the tear line that is the part lying between its ends, can extend into the rounded transition part in order to allow pressure to be reduced during the opening process.
  • the bowl-like component and the tearing flap are formed in one piece, preferably by punching and deep drawing, from sheet metal, preferably aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and cold hardening of the material can occur during these operations.
  • At least one groove is also provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the closure cap, which groove, however, must not cross the tear line at a substantially acute angle.
  • the crossing angle between the tear line and the groove is preferably more than 75 °, since there is otherwise the risk that when the capsule tears open, the tear will follow the groove instead of the tear line.
  • the cap is placed on the bottle by means of a collar-like tool with fingers which engage the side wall and at the same time press the top wall against the axial end of the bottle, so that this end is sealed off from the sealing material.
  • the fingers form the side wall into a shape which closely follows the contour of the bead edge, so that the lower edge of the side wall is folded into the groove which is arranged between the bead base and the neck of the bottle below the bead base in conventional beverage bottles.
  • the material of the cap applied is so resilient that it relieves excessive pressure in the bottle through self-venting and subsequent resealing, which occurs at predetermined pressures.
  • the groove in the side wall can form one or more passages or channels near the tear tab, through which a controlled pressure reduction can take place during the opening of the bottle.
  • the bottle is opened circumferentially by merely pulling on the tear tab, part of the side wall being separated from the main part of the cap, which part comprises a strip extending along the lower edge of the side wall over about half the circumference of the cap.
  • This simple-looking cap or a bottle sealed with it has significant advantages in terms of low effort, security and economy. Among these advantages, first of all, the ability to relieve pressure independently with subsequent resealing should be mentioned, furthermore the simple application possibility, the simple removal of the closure cap, the ability to relieve pressure during the opening of the bottle, and other advantages.
  • Closure caps according to the invention can be designed in such a way that the aforementioned automatic pressure reduction effect occurs at pressures of approximately 10 bar, this pressure reduction having no effect on the subsequent resealing of the container.
  • the pressure in the container therefore drops to about 5 bar or similar values. If the pressure rises again, the described blowing off can take place again without an adverse effect. A breakage or loss of containers when sanitizing drinks is therefore less common unless it is completely avoided.
  • the invention also makes it possible to design the closure caps in such a way that the automatic pressure reduction and connection Sending re-sealing take place at pressures that are significantly less than 10 bar.
  • the pressure reduction by the pressure caps according to the invention therefore takes place long before the breaking value of the container is reached, so that the containers and their contents are retained and the sterilization process is not disrupted.
  • closure caps according to the invention can be applied to containers with a much lower axial pressure than previously used closure caps. For example, compared to crown cork closures, there is a reduction in the pressure required to achieve a reliably sealed closure of the container by at least 25%.
  • the subject of the invention is alleviated or even avoided by the controlled reduction of the internal pressure of the container during its opening that unpleasant surprises for the opening of the container. Users occur.
  • Another important advantage of the invention is that an automatic valve effect of the closure cap occurs during the time during which the container provided with the closure cap is pasteurized or heated for other purposes to temperatures which are below the temperatures required for sterilizing the contents of the container. This is due to the fact that the valve effect allows some of the air which may be trapped in the container during the filling process to be removed. A slight negative pressure can develop above the liquid level in the container if this is not compensated for by gases escaping from the liquid. In any case, the growth of aerobic bacteria is prevented.
  • closure cap according to the invention is so low that the application of the closure cap according to the invention on plastic bottles in the area of Possibility lies. There is therefore no need to provide expensive threaded closures for plastic bottles, which at the same time avoids the risk that the closure cap can be removed without authorization and the container contents can be replaced in whole or in part by another content.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is completely theft-proof since the closure cap is physically and optically changed when it is removed.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is simple and yet effective, since it can be operated by a single handle running in the circumferential direction of the bottle neck in such a way that the closure cap can be completely loosened and easily lifted off by the user. However, the cap can then be placed back on the bottle and held there, so that the contents of the bottle can be kept clean for a limited time. There is no longer any excess pressure in the bottle after it has been opened, but the bottle can be covered by the closure cap in such a way that the contents of the bottle are sufficiently covered for a certain time.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. It is therefore light and rustproof. However, other thin sheets can also be used with advantage if they are only shaped and applied in a suitable manner, which will be described in more detail later. Steel should have a rust-inhibiting coating, e.g. a lacquer, so the use of aluminum caps is preferable.
  • the caps When using aluminum for the production of closure caps according to the invention, the caps can be applied very quickly and with lower pressures than are required with conventional steel closure caps.
  • the side wall of a closure cap according to the invention is smooth and has only a minimum of wrinkles, so that there is a relatively large space for the application of graphic material and the advantage is additionally achieved, that sharp protruding edges are avoided, which could lead to injuries.
  • FIG. 1 shows a closure cap 10 according to the invention. It essentially has the shape of an inverted cylindrical bowl with a cylindrical screen tenwand 14, a top surface 14 formed by a flat flat disc and an annular transition zone 16 between the top surface 14 and the side wall 12, which connecting zone 16 is rounded such that it forms a seat 13 inside the cap 10 for a sealing ring 18, the has essentially elastomeric behavior and in particular consists of a compound based on polyethylene, PVC or other thermoplastic material which is elastic at the temperatures to which cold drinks are normally exposed and which does not become liquid at the temperatures which drinks normally during exposed to pasteurization and sterilization.
  • the preferred material is a kind of plastic foam that runs into the seat 13 in liquid form and is cured there by heating.
  • the sealing material 18 does not extend to the lower edge of the side wall 12 and does not extend in the radial direction inwards on the bottom surface of the top wall 14 to a degree beyond which the sealing ring 18 lies against the upper axial end of the bottle (FIG. 6 , 7) brings, on which the cap 10 is placed.
  • the seal achieved by the sealing cap 10 according to the invention makes it unnecessary to use additional sealing material in addition to the described sealing ring 18, although a full sealing washer can be used which completely covers the bottom surface of the top wall 14.
  • the lower edge 20 of the side wall 12 is pressed inwards when the closure cap 10 is placed on the bottle, but is essentially cylindrical with a cylindrical cavity in the manufacture of the closure cap from sheet metal by a stamping and deep-drawing process. In this way, the side wall 12 forms a circular cylinder and the bottom edge 20 essentially a circle. However, the bottom edge 20 can also be angled slightly outwards, as is shown in FIG. 2a for the closure cap 10. This facilitates the supply of the cap to the bottle mouth during application.
  • a tear tab 22 is integrally formed with the side wall 12, which normally extends approximately horizontally from the closure cap 10 after it has been formed (FIG. 2).
  • the length of the tear tab 22 is selected so that the user can comfortably grasp the tear tab for the purpose of tearing open the closure cap.
  • This tear tab 22 is expediently so long that, when the closure cap is attached, it extends down over the bottle bead, which bottle bead is provided directly below the rim bead of the bottle. In this way, the flap is not fully on the bottle bead and can therefore be easily removed from this when the bottle is to be opened.
  • the zipper flap 22 has a section 24 which forms a continuation of the side wall 12 downward and thus, as it were, an addition which ensures that the closure cap can be crimped when it is applied to the bottle without the zipper flap being deformed inadmissibly.
  • the width of the tear tab 22 is expediently 14 mm and its entire length including section 24 is approximately 17 mm. Since the circumference of the side wall 12 is approximately 84 mm before the capsule is applied to the bottle, the connection point of the tear tab on the lower edge of the side wall 12 runs only over a small part of its circumference.
  • the end 25 of the tear tab 22 is rounded according to FIG. 1, but can also be designed in a different shape.
  • transition points of the tear tab 22 into the lower edge 20 of the side wall 12 are preferably provided with roundings 26 in order to ensure a correct tear during the opening process.
  • a tear line 27 runs approximately in the side wall 12 around half the circumference of the side wall 12.
  • This tear line has three sections 28, 29, 30 which in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 merge continuously into one another.
  • the tear line 27 begins at the rounded transition point 26 and its first section 28 rises at an acute angle to the horizontal.
  • the second section 29 runs upwards towards the top wall 14 and then horizontally like the third section 30, namely somewhat below the top wall 14, about half the circumference of the side wall 12.
  • the angle formed by the tear line portions 28, 29 enclose with the horizontal, should be less than 75 °, preferably less than 45 °, for example, between 15 ° and 45 0, to secure the best conditions in practice.
  • the tear line section 30 can run about 2.5 mm below the level of the top surface 14 or slightly below, but should be arranged so low that the majority of the sealing ring 18 is not disturbed. This ensures that the seal is maintained as long as possible when the cap is removed.
  • the arrangement should also be such that below the tear line 27 there remains a strip which absorbs the tension when the closure cap is opened, the width of which is about 2 to 3 mm.
  • the tear line 27 extends about half the circumference of the cap 10, approximately between 140 and 180 ° and its end 32 is at the same height as the section 30.
  • the length of the tear line 27 should be large enough so that the cap after passing through Tear line or pulling off the lower edge of the cap by about half the circumference of the side wall 12 can be easily removed from the bottle.
  • the tear line 27 is formed in the cap 10 during its manufacture. It is incorporated into the sheet metal blank in the flat state thereof before the closure cap 10 contains the final shape in the deep-drawing mold.
  • the tool for producing the tear line is preferably designed with a flat end to which the Tool runs tapered. The result is a groove as shown in Fig. 3 and the bottom wall 34 of which is flat.
  • the material in the area 36 under the groove forming the tear line 27 should experience cold hardening during the formation of the tear line 27, so that this material area becomes brittle compared to the initial state, which makes it easier to pull the tear tab 22 along the tear line 27 without the Overall strength and thereby adversely affect the sealing behavior of the cap 10.
  • the groove forming the tear line 27 is open to the inside of the side wall 12.
  • the tear tab 27 has a reinforcing rib 38 in the form of a U-shaped bulge, the upper ends 40, 42 of which extend substantially beyond the height of the lower edge 20 of the side wall for an important purpose, but do not cross the tear line section 28 and do not intersect in the sealing ring 18 extend.
  • the rib 38 forms a groove 38 '.
  • a closure cap 10 designed in such a manner according to the invention therefore reliably blows off the excessive excess pressure when a predetermined internal pressure occurs and then seals it properly again.
  • caps consisted of aluminum sheet, from which the caps were produced by a deep-drawing process in a manner known per se.
  • the aluminum sheet was between 180 and 190 microns thick and had a tensile strength between 120 and 160 Newton / mm 2 .
  • the aluminum was about 99% pure. Drinks with an internal pressure of about 5 to 6 bar are mostly common, but reach a pressure of more than 10 bar when shaken and / or heated.
  • the procedure is such that the closure cap is held in a sleeve provided with fingers and lowered with it onto the bottle.
  • the cap is then pressed against the bottle mouth with such pressure that the material of the sealing ring 8 is compressed essentially elastically.
  • the sleeve is then drawn together around the rim of the bottle and presses the lower edge 20 of the side wall 12 into the annular groove between the rim and the subsequent bulging of the bottle with the formation of folds.
  • the transition point 16 is pressed against the rounded profile of the bead edge of the bottle, which results in an increase in the radius of the curve of the material parts forming the connection point 16.
  • blow-off effect with aluminum sheet of conventional composition and a thickness between 140 and 250 microns and a tensile strength between 90 and 220 Newton / mm 2 can be achieved.
  • Preferred ranges are between 180 and 220 microns and between 130 and 180 Newtons / mm 2 .
  • the tensile strength mentioned applies before the sealing cap 10 is formed. It can be assumed that during the molding process a cold hardening of the aluminum takes place, which alone or in conjunction with the cold hardening of the material which occurs when the sealing cap is applied, creates a prerequisite for the occurrence of the described blow-off effect .
  • blow-off effect mentioned is not necessary for all beverages after bottling, however most so-called "still" beverages have little or no trapped gases. exhibit, pasteurized or sterilized at elevated temperature immediately after filling. In these cases, the ability to blow off is desired to relieve an overpressure which arises from the expansion of the air contained in the bottle neck above the beverage level in order to prevent the bottle from breaking in the autoclave.
  • closure cap according to the invention advantageousous in those cases in which the ability to blow off is not required or exploited, since the closure cap according to the invention is simple in its construction and in its application to and at a distance from the bottle.
  • FIG. 4 shows a closure cap 10 which is similar to that of FIG. 1 with two exceptions.
  • the first difference is that the end 25 of the tear tab 22 is more or less rectilinear, but angled in such a way that the edge 48 closer in FIG. 4 is longer than the edge 50 further away, so that the user is prompted to do so , in most cases grab the tear tab on the left and pull it to the right.
  • the tear line 27 begins at the junction 26 between the closer edge 48 and the bottom edge 20 of the side wall 12, the tear along the tear line 27 begins in the correct direction.
  • the tear line 27 is normally not visible to the user since it lies inside the cap. This angled design of the end 25 of the tear tab 22 therefore serves as an aid in opening the closure cap.
  • the second difference is that the upper end 42 of the U-shaped rib 38 extends up to the area of the top surface 14. In this way, a weak point of the material of the sealing ring 18 is formed there, since the internal groove on the rear of the upper end 42 of the rib 38 brings a channel or another connection from the sealing ring 18 to the tear line 27. Even if the sealing material should fill this groove, the upper end 42 of the rib 38 still forms the weakest point for the escape of excess pressure from the inside of the bottle when the cap 10 is opened, since at this point the sealing ring 18 against the Bottle pressing pressure is the least. The gas from the inside of the bottle has therefore escaped when the operation of the tear tab has ended is, so that the internal pressure is then reduced and the cap 10 is not thrown off.
  • the second upper end 14 of the rib 38 of the closure cap 10 does not extend to the transition point 16 and does not cross the rising section of the tear line 27.
  • a cross between this rib end 40 and the tear line may only occur in the substantially horizontal sections 29, 30 of the tear line 27 if it is desired to provide additional pressure reduction when the bottle is opened.
