Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure cap, in particular a guarantee closure cap for bottles or bottle-like containers with a preferably corked or grafted, drawn-in bottle neck, the closure cap engaging behind the bulge of the neck in the attached state and, at least partially destructible areas to release the bottle neck mouth.
  • Sealing caps of this type mentioned above are used in particular in the pharmaceutical field and serve mainly to close bottle-like containers.
  • Such closures have to meet a number of requirements, in particular with regard to their effectiveness as tamper protection, their lightness Application to the bottle-like containers, easy re-opening of them and last but not least in terms of their rational production.
  • the closure principle according to the invention should in particular meet all the requirements for a mass product, be easy to apply to the container in question, be easy to break open, have a wide range of applications and last but not least meet certain hygienic and aesthetic requirements.
  • the design according to the invention with sufficient stiffness of the closure cap, initially allows the closure to be easily broken open, regardless of the material used, for example by light pressure on the ampoule placed on a hard surface with the closure cap, the relative displacement according to the invention between the part of the cap base to be broken out and the peripheral wall takes place and there is a complete break along the predetermined breaking point.
  • opening the fastener here is simple, complete and secure.
  • the closure cap can surround the bottle neck without perforation, that is to say completely closed, the visible stepped offset between the break-out part of the cap base and the peripheral wall also having a characteristic shape feature which has a particular aesthetic effect.
  • a glass ampoule 1 which is intended, for example, for diagnostics, is grafted with a rubber stopper 2 and provided with a guarantee cap 3 according to the invention.
  • the glass ampoule 1 has a retracted bottle neck 4, the closure cap 3 engaging behind the beaded edge 5 of the neck 4 in the attached state, as will be described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the closure cap 3 expediently consists of a suitable plastic or aluminum alloy.
  • the closure cap 3 according to FIG. 1, illustrated in an enlarged sectional view in FIG. 1, according to the invention has a break-out cap base 6, for which this cap base 6 is connected to the peripheral wall 7 of the closure cap 3 by an area of material weakening in the form of a material notch 8; around the cap base 6 along the material weakening 8 forming a predetermined breaking point
  • the outer end face 9 of the break-out cap base 6 is now offset in a stepped manner toward the outer end face 10 of the peripheral wall 7 for a relative displacement that can be generated under pressure and causes the break along the predetermined breaking point 8.
  • the closure cap 3 encloses with its peripheral wall 7 the bead 5 of the glass ampoule 1 and the end flange of the rubber stopper 2 and engages under the bead 5 of the bottle neck 4 with an annular bead 13 formed on the inside of the peripheral wall 7. Accordingly, the closure cap 3 forms an on the ampoule 1 snap cap which can be easily pressed on and which, as shown in FIG. 3, completely and tightly encloses the bottle neck with the bead 5 and the stopper 2.
  • a simple, low-power and safe method for generating the pressure on the end face 10 of the peripheral wall 7 consists in countering the ampoule 1 with its guarantee cap 3 to press a table top or the like, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the cap base 6 can then be audibly broken out with a short pressure or with a powerful all-round movement from the wrist.
  • a plastic dust cap 17 which can be fitted onto the closure cap 3 with an adhesive seat and can be removed, as can be clearly seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • This dust cap 17 can also serve as an information carrier and additionally have a signal effect due to individual coloring, as has already been explained at the beginning.
  • closure caps are designed as snap-on caps that can be pressed onto the bottle neck, for which purpose the closure cap carries an annular bead on the inside of its peripheral wall, which is intended to engage under the bulge of the bottle neck.
  • the circumferential wall in the area of the ring bead then expands until the ring bead can reach under the bead edge, whereupon the closure cap rests firmly on the bottle neck and securely closes the bottle opening.
  • the closure cap 3 encloses with its peripheral wall 7 the bead 5 of the glass ampoule 1, as well as the end flange of the rubber stopper 2, and engages under the bead 5 of the bottle neck 4 with an annular flange 13 ′ formed on the inside of the peripheral wall 7, as indicated by the dashed line is.
  • this ring flange 13 ' is formed during the closure process and under a preferably adjustable contact pressure of the closure cap 3 on the end face of the rubber plug 2 from a protruding edge section 13 of the peripheral wall 7.
  • This molding takes place in a sealing cap 3 made of plastic by heat-flanging. This ensures that the pressure applied to the rubber stopper 2 by the cap base 6 is always the same, even if there are relatively large tolerances in the height of the rubber stopper 2 and the bead 5 of the glass ampoule 1.
  • the arrangement according to FIG. 7 can also be designed in the same way, in the comparative embodiment according to FIG. 6, where the corked or grafted mouth of the ampoule 1 is completely released by breaking out the entire cap base 6, even after the guarantee closure has been broken open the stopper 2 is held in the ampoule mouth.
  • the ring flange 13 ′ during the closure process and under a preferably adjustable contact pressure of the closure cap 3 molded onto the end face of the rubber plug from a protruding edge section 13 of the peripheral wall 7.
  • the closure cap 3 which is shown here without a dust cap 17, no longer consists of a one-piece plastic part, but according to the invention consists of a cap base 56 made of plastic and a peripheral wall 57 partially overlapping the cap base 56 made of an aluminum sheet Which peripheral wall 57 also engages behind the bulge 5 of the bottle neck 4 with an internally formed ring flange 63 '.
  • an inner part 56 'of the cap base 56 is also surrounded by a predetermined breaking point 58, this inner part having an outer end face region 64 projecting beyond the outer end face 59 of the cap bottom 56 as well as an inner end face 65 with respect to the inner end face 66 of the cap base 56 is set back.
  • the inner edge of the overlapping part 57 'of the peripheral wall 57 extends to near the circumference of the inner part 56' of the cap base 56.
  • the total dimension T of the height of the plug 2 protruding above the bottle and of the bead 5 usually varies only to a small extent, so that these tolerances can be eliminated by simple spring elements 20. This can be done, for example, by a radially extending, annular spring path 21 in the peripheral wall 7.
  • FIG. 10 shows a curved shape of the spring section 21, which allows movement in the axial direction in order to accommodate any differences that may occur.
  • the spring path can also be shaped in the form of an annular bellows 21 ′, as is shown in detail in FIG. 10 a.
  • An alternative to the spring section 21 consists in an edge section 22 as an extension of the peripheral wall 7. In the injection-molded position, the edge section 22 is inclined conically to the center and tapers towards the edge (FIG. 10 b).
  • the edge section When the cap 3 is put on, the edge section is turned inside and up and thus forms a resilient lip 22 '.
  • finger-shaped spring elements 23 can also be formed on the inner, annular end face 16 of the cap base 6, which can accommodate corresponding tolerances in the axial direction if the cap is one with an annular bead, for example in FIG 3 shown, which rests with a snap action under the bead 5 of the bottle neck.
  • the spring element 20 can also be formed by concentric, annular lips 24 running around the break-out part of the cap base.
  • FIG. 10 also shows a solution for an additional secondary problem.
  • the elastic stopper 2 presses the same out of the rest when the part is pressed out.
  • Vials which are used to hold powder or pill-shaped contents, can be provided with a closure cap 3, in which the break-out part of the cap base 6 is designed as a stopper 2 '.
  • the stopper 2 ′ forms a cavity 26, which is closed by an insert 27.
  • the cavity 26 serves to hold hygroscopic agent and communicates with the interior of the bottle via through holes 28.
  • the insert 27, like the dust cap 17, can also have different colors and thus represent a certain coding.
  • closure cap is designed as a plastic closure, it can also be made from other materials, for example from aluminum, without significant design changes.
