Abstract

Ein Originalitätsverschluß aus Kunststoff für Gewinde­ mündungen mit Haltewulst an Behältern, insbesondere Flaschen. Der Verschluß hat eine Schraubkappe, an der mit axialem Spiel eine Überkappe gehaltert ist. An beiden sind Vorsprünge angeordnet, die innerhalb des axialen Spiels ein- und ausgerückt werden können und als Mitnehmer wirken. Zur Originalitätssicherung ist die Schraubkappe mit Abreiße­ lementen versehen, die mit Krallen unter den Haltewulst greifen. Bei geschlossener Mündung werden die Krallen von der Überkappe in dieser Lage gehalten. Beim erstmaligen Öffnen werden die Abreißelemente zwangsläufig abgeris­ sen. Zur zusätzlichen Ausgstaltung als Kindersicherung wird eine Gruppe von vorsprüngen so ausgestaltet, daß sie beim Zuschrauben immer als Mitnehmer fungieren, beim Ab­ schrauben nur, wenn außer dem Drehmoment eine Axial­ kraft gegen die Mündung ausgeübt wird. A tamper-evident closure made of plastic for threads mouths with a holding bead on containers, in particular Bottles. The closure has a screw cap on which axial play an overcap is held. At both are Protrusions arranged which within the axial play and can be disengaged and act as a driver. The tamper-evident screw cap is used to ensure tamper evidence elements provided with claws under the retaining bead to grab. When the mouth is closed, the claws of the overcap held in this position. The first time When opened, the tear-off elements are inevitably torn off sen. For additional configuration as a child lock designed a group of protrusions so that they are at the Screw down always act as a driver, when ab screw only if there is an axial in addition to the torque force is exerted against the mouth.
