Abstract

Ein einteiliges Schnappscharnier aus Kunststoff mit zwei Scharnierteilen, die durch ein Hauptgelenk (6′) miteinander verbunden sind. Mindestens ein federndes Verbindungsstück (8), z.B. in Gestalt einer Zugfeder, ist an seinen beiden Enden durch Nebengelenke (10′, 12′) mit den beiden Scharnierteilen verbunden. Die Nebengelenke haben quer zu den Gelenkach­ sen je einen Abstand vom Hauptgelenk (6′). Bei einem sol­ chen Schnappscharnier können die Scharnierteile aus einer Stellung labilen Gleichgewichts in die eine oder andere End­ stellung schnappen. Erfindungsgemäß läßt sich ein solches Schnappscharnier, z.B. bei seiner Verwendung als Flaschen­ verschluß) für eine erweiterte oder andere Gruppe von Stof­ fen verwendbar machen als die bisher üblichen Schnappscharniere aus Polypropylen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Schnappscharnier aus Polyäthylen niedriger Dichte hergestellt wird und daß mindestens das Hauptgelenk, vorgsweise auch die Nebengelenke als Bänder (16, 18, 20) ausgebildet werden, deren Länge größer ist als deren Dicke. A one-piece snap hinge made of plastic with two Hinge parts that are connected by a main joint (6 ') are connected. At least one resilient connector (8), e.g. in the form of a tension spring, is at both ends through secondary joints (10 ', 12') with the two hinge parts connected. The secondary joints have transverse to the joint axis sen a distance from the main joint (6 '). With a sol Chen snap hinge, the hinge parts from one Position unstable balance in one end or the other snap position. According to the invention, one such Snap hinge, e.g. when used as bottles closure) for an expanded or different group of fabrics make fen usable than the usual Snap hinges made of polypropylene. This will be achieved that the snap hinge made of polyethylene lower Density is established and that at least the main joint, also the secondary joints as ligaments (16, 18, 20) be formed, the length of which is greater than the thickness.
