Abstract

If the cap is provided with an engraving or printed label and has a screw connection, the closure cap allows it to be mounted by machine in such a way that the engraving or the printed label assumes the correct position relative to the container after said container has been sealed, the cap (3, 3') being provided with projections (6, 6') or beads on the inside at the lower edge for this purpose and the container (1, 1') being equipped in the upper region with analogous projections (5, 5') or beads on the connector (4) receiving the cap edge. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kappenverschluß für Behälter, insbesondere für solche Behälter, die eine von einem Rotationskörper abweichende Form aufweisen, beispielsweise für Behälter, deren geometrische Achse mit derjenigen des Ausgabestutzens und damit der Kappe einen Winkel ein - schließt.The invention relates to a cap closure for containers, in particular for those containers which have a shape deviating from a rotational body, for example for containers whose geometric axis encloses an angle with that of the dispensing nozzle and thus the cap.

Bei derartigen Behältern ist es schwierig die Kappe, falls sie mit einer Inschrift oder einem Aufdruck versehen und beispielsweise mit einer Verschraubung ausgestattet ist, maschinell so aufzubringen, daß die Inschrift bzw. der Aufdruck nach dem Verschließen des Behälters zu diesem die richtige Stellung einnimmt.In such containers, it is difficult to mechanically apply the cap, if it is provided with an inscription or an imprint and is equipped, for example, with a screw connection, in such a way that the inscription or the imprint assumes the correct position after the container has been closed.

Um dies zu ermöglichen wird erfindungsgemäß der Vorschlag gemacht die Kappe am unteren Rand innen mit Vorsprüngen oder Wülsten zu versehen und den Behälter im oberen Bereich an dem den Kappenrand aufnehmenden Stutzen mit analogen Vorsprüngen oder Wülsten auszustatten.In order to make this possible, the proposal is made according to the invention to provide the inside of the cap with projections or beads and to equip the container in the upper area on the connecting piece which receives the edge of the cap with analog projections or beads.

Ein derartig ausgebildeter Verschluß ermöglicht es nicht nur die Kappe in der richtigen Stellung auf den Behälter aufzubringen, sondern gewährleistet auch ein schnelles und leichtes Aufsetzen und Abnehmen der Kappe. Voraussetzung ist, daß die Inschrift auf der Kappe zu den Vorsprüngen oder Wülsten in einer Wechselbeziehung steht. Vorzugsweise sind die Vorsprünge bzw. Wülste am Behälter und in der Kappe so, gegebenenfalls unregelmäßig, angeordnet, daß das Aufsetzen der Kappe nur in einer bestimmten Stellung und das Verdrehen der Kappe nur in einem gleichbleibenden winkel erfolgen kann, so daß die Inschrift auf der Kappe nach dem Verschließen des Behälters zwangsläufig in die richtige Stellung gelangen muß.Such a closure not only enables the cap to be placed in the correct position on the container, but also ensures that the cap can be put on and removed quickly and easily. The prerequisite is that the inscription on the cap interacts with the projections or ridges. Preferably, the projections or beads on the container and in the cap are arranged, if necessary irregularly, in such a way that the cap can only be placed in a certain position and the cap can only be rotated at a constant angle, so that the inscription on the cap after closing the container must inevitably get into the correct position.

In den Zeichnungen sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele des Gegenstandes der Erfindung dargestellt.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt einen Behälter mit aufgesetzter Kappe in der Seitenansicht,
  • Fig. 2 den Behälter ohne Kappe in der Vorderansicht,
  • Fig. 3 die Kappe im Schnitt,
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt längs der Linie IV-IV in Fig.1,
  • Fig. 5 einen Schnitt längs der Linie IV-IV in Fig.1, jedoch mit verdrehter Kappe und
  • Fig. 6 eine Variante zu der Ausführung nach Fig.1.
In the drawings, two embodiments of the subject of the invention are shown.
  • 1 shows a side view of a container with a cap attached,
  • 2 the container without a cap in the front view,
  • 3 the cap in section,
  • 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 5 shows a section along the line IV-IV in Fig.1, but with twisted cap and
  • 6 shows a variant of the embodiment according to FIG. 1.

Der in den Fig. 1 bis 5 gezeigte Behälter 1 ist vorzugsweise zur Aufnahme flüssiger Schuhpflegemittel bestimmt, besteht aus flexiblem Kunststoff und ist an der Öffnung 2 mit einem nicht dargestellten Schaumstoffkissen ausgestattet. Zur Aufnahme der Kappe 3 weist der Behälter 1 einen zylindrischen Stutzen 4 auf, an dem vier wulstartige Vorsprünge 5 angeordnet sind. Entsprechende Vorsprünge 6 befinden sich innen am unteren Rand der Kappe 3.The container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is preferably intended for holding liquid shoe care products, consists of flexible plastic and is at the opening 2 equipped with a foam cushion, not shown. To accommodate the cap 3, the container 1 has a cylindrical socket 4 on which four bead-like projections 5 are arranged. Corresponding projections 6 are located on the inside at the lower edge of the cap 3.

Beim Verschließen des Behälters 1 wird die Kappe 3 so auf den Stutzen 4 aufgesetzt, daß die Vorsprünge 6 in der Kappe 3 in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Uorsprüngen 5 des Stutzens 4 zu liegen kommen (Fig.4). Wird nun die Kappe 3 verdreht(Fig.5), so Wandern die Vorsprünge 6 in der Kappe 3 auf die Vorsprünge 5 des Stutzens 4 auf, da die Vorsprünge 5, 6 in dieser Stellung in einer Ebene liegen. Hierbei wird die Kappe 3 etwas gedehnt und sitzt dank ihrer Elastizität auf dem Behälter 1 fest.When the container 1 is closed, the cap 3 is placed on the socket 4 such that the projections 6 in the cap 3 come to lie in the spaces between the protrusions 5 of the socket 4 (FIG. 4). If the cap 3 is now rotated (FIG. 5), the projections 6 in the cap 3 migrate onto the projections 5 of the connection piece 4, since the projections 5, 6 lie in one plane in this position. Here, the cap 3 is stretched somewhat and thanks to its elasticity sits firmly on the container 1.

Es ist natürlich auch möglich die Kappe in der in der Fig. 5 gezeigten Stellung auf den Behälter aufzudrücken, wodurch ein Verdrehen der Kappe nicht mehr erforderlich ist.It is of course also possible to press the cap onto the container in the position shown in FIG. 5, whereby twisting of the cap is no longer necessary.

Bei der in der Fig. 6 dargestellten Variante sind die Vorsprünge 6' in der Kappe 3' und die Vorsprünge 5' an dem Behälter 1' schwalbenschuanzförmig ausgebildet, wodurch sich beim Verdrehen der Kappe 3' eine Sperruirkung durch Ineinandergreifen der Vorsprünge 5', 6' ergibt.In the variant shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 6 'in the cap 3' and the protrusions 5 'on the container 1' are dovetail-shaped, as a result of which the cap 3 'is twisted when the protrusions 5', 6 engage in one another 'results.
