Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective and tamper-evident cap which can be removed for use, for a hand-operated discharge device having an active substance discharge head, for placing on active substance containers, such as containers for medical therapeutic and prophylactic active substances, the discharge head of which protrudes from the protective cap on the outside is covered, which is secured to a counterpart of the discharge device with at least one releasable connection, which has at least one predetermined breaking member and at least one self-engaging snap connection with interlocking connecting elements of the two components to be secured against one another, the snap connection being inaccessibly covered from the outside in that the the protective cap provided connecting element of the snap connection for the substantially completely recessed engagement in an end opening of the connecting element provided on the counterpart via the open end face of the protective cap e stands out.
  • a cap which is formed in one piece with a lower cap extension by means of predetermined breaking members, which in turn is connected to the discharge head via the snap connections.
  • the cap should only be able to be removed after the outer predetermined breaking elements have been destroyed.
  • the cap extension is completely free and therefore easily accessible, so that for this reason alone the snap connection can be released from the outside with relatively little skill so that the cap can be removed without destroying the predetermined breaking elements.
  • a load can be placed in the gap between the cap and the discharge head with a tool and the snap connection can be blown open without being destroyed.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a protective and tamper-evident cap of the type mentioned in such a way that, with simple mounting of the protective cap, a maximum of security is guaranteed for the detection of the integrity of the closure formed by the protective cap.
  • the connecting element itself has to be converted into a state that only enables the protective cap to be removed, thereby destroying the predetermined breaking member; If the snap connection is destroyed in this way, the user can clearly see from the given destruction of the predetermined breaking link that the discharge head was exposed after the original filling of the container and therefore inadmissible tampering with the container cannot be ruled out, which is not the case, even if without destruction the snap connection itself can be broken open.
  • the connecting element provided on the protective cap is formed by a hook body extending approximately in the removal direction of the protective cap, it having at least one connecting member with a hook surface lying transversely to the removal direction for contacting a counter surface of at least one counterpart, so that the snap connection acts in the manner of a hidden or encapsulated positive connection, which ensures a particularly high level of security.
  • the encapsulation of the snap connection can in a simple manner, for. B. can be achieved in that the connecting element of the protective cap lies at its open end, which preferably lies flush in the cover position on a counter surface associated with the discharge head and / or surrounds the discharge head essentially without play and that this connecting member in particular as a whole over the end surface of the protective cap protrudes.
  • the discharge device In the case of the discharge device being designed as a push piston pump, as a valve for a pressurized active substance or the like, the discharge device generally has a cover cap which carries the discharge head and is usually provided for manual operation of the device.
  • a counterpart is formed by an end wall of this cover cap which carries the discharge head and is provided in particular for manual operation of the device and which is provided with an opening for the substantially completely recessed engagement of the connecting element of the protective cap and preferably on its inside adjacent to the opening has the counter surface for a connecting member of this connecting element.
  • the protective cap forms a component which can be preassembled with the cover cap and thus with the discharge device and which as a whole can be subsequently attached to the vessel in a simple manner.
  • a counterpart is structurally combined with a device housing Fastening flange for fastening the device to the vessel, in particular on a vessel neck, for example on a screw cap, a crimp ring or the like.
  • a device housing Fastening flange for fastening the device to the vessel, in particular on a vessel neck, for example on a screw cap, a crimp ring or the like.
  • the protective cap is also secured directly to the fastening flange by means of at least one snap connection, so that the snap connection is also destroyed when an attempt is made to pull the discharge head together with the cover cap from the remaining parts of the discharge device.
  • the counter surfaces for the hook surfaces of the connecting element provided on the protective cap are on opposite sides of the connecting element of the protective cap, the counterpart associated with the fastening flange preferably being provided on the side facing the central axis of the device.
  • the predetermined breaking member is provided on the protective cap and is preferably formed by at least one web, in particular two side webs lying next to one another, which connect the associated end face of the connecting element to the outer circumference of the protective cap.
  • the two side webs ensure precise alignment of the associated connecting element with respect to the protective cap, even with a flexible design.
  • the predetermined breaking member can be produced in one piece in a simple manner with the associated connecting element and with the associated component, which also makes it possible to design the predetermined breaking element as a film-hinge-like joint which articulates the connecting element with the associated component, so that this connecting element engages easily can be brought with the counterpart.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the subject matter of the invention is that the cover cap of the device overlaps the mounting flange essentially completely and preferably with a small gap distance in such a way that it secures the mounting flange against detachment from the vessel, so that an attempt was made to detach the vessel by loosening the Opening the mounting flange, can be easily recognized afterwards.
  • the object on which the invention is based can also be achieved in a device of the type mentioned at the outset or in the device according to the invention described in that, in particular when a fastening flange provided for fastening the device to the vessel is designed as a screw cap, this fastening flange and one of these overlapping cover cap are connected to one another in a rotationally locking manner and / or in a positive manner in the direction of actuation of the device.
  • the screw cap can be screwed onto a corresponding mating thread of the vessel and tightened relative to it by rotating the cover cap.
  • the shear member tears off at the end of the tightening process, as a result of which the positive connection between the cover cap and the screw cap is released, so that the screw cap can no longer be detached from the vessel by turning the cover cap in the opposite direction .
  • the shear member can be formed in a simple manner by a cam provided on the outer circumference of the fastening flange, which engages in a pocket-like depression on the inner circumference of the cover cap and is designed such that it is rotated and / or actuated after the device is placed on the vessel Cover cap shears off.

  • the protective cap 17 is secured in position relative to the discharge device 1 by two diametrically opposed, identically designed snap connections 22 in such a way that it can be removed from the discharge head 11 only after these snap connections 22 have been destroyed, but can then be replaced afterwards, in which case it is then only by circumferential clamping holds section 16.
  • the protective cap 17 has for each snap connection 22 a hook body 23 which extends approximately in the direction of arrow 21 and protrudes freely from the end face 19 of the protective cap 17 against this direction arrow 21 and is provided with two connecting members 24, 25.
  • Each connecting link 24 or 25 is provided with a hook surface 26 or 27 lying at right angles to the central axis 3, which points in the direction of removal arrow 21 and which is each assigned a counter surface 28 or 29 for positively locked contact.
  • the other connecting member 25 is located at the free end of the hook body 23 and the counter surface 29 associated with its hooking surface 27 is provided on an annular disk-shaped connecting member 30 which is formed as an end collar of the fastening flange 6 and in the region of the end of the housing 2 facing away from the vessel lies within the cap 13.
  • an opening 31 is provided in the end wall 15, into which the respective hook body 23 engages with its associated end section almost without play in the direction of rotation about the central axis 3.
  • the opening 31 is so large that the connecting member 24 can dodge when the protective cap 17 is placed on the discharge head 11 until it snaps into its securing position engaging behind the counter surface 28.
  • the connecting member 24 In order for the connecting member 24 to be pressed back in a correspondingly resilient manner, including the hook body 23, during this assembly operation, it has on its side facing away from the central axis 3 converging with the central axis 3 in the opposite direction of removal arrow 21 de deflecting surface 32.
  • a corresponding deflecting surface 33 is also provided on the side of the connecting member 25 facing the central axis 3, so that when the protective cap 17 preassembled with the protective cap 17 is placed on the housing 2 by the connecting member 30, it is first pushed back until it jumps behind the counter surface 29 .
  • Each hook body 23 is connected in an articulated and resilient manner to the protective cap 17 by a nominal book member 34.
  • Each predetermined breaking member 34 is formed by two parallel side webs 35 which start from the associated end surface 36 of the associated hook body 23 and merge into the outer circumference 37 of the protective cap 17 directly adjacent to its end surface 19.
  • the snap connections 22 are designed such that the predetermined breaking members 34 can only be destroyed by rotating the protective cap 17 relative to the discharge head 11, after which the protective cap 17 can be removed without hindrance and can also be replaced.

  • the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 7 essentially corresponds to that according to FIG. 1.
  • the part designed as arm 23c of the hook body and carrying the connecting member 25c is designed as an arm of a two-armed lever 46 which is located immediately above the upper, annular end wall 15c the cover cap 13c is pivotally mounted relative to all other parts of the device about a pivot axis 48 which is tangential to the circumference of the protective cap 17c and is at a short distance from this circumference.
  • Two articulated webs 35c which are spaced apart from one another and are provided for storage, are formed both in one piece with the arm 23c and with the protective cap 17c and can have resilient properties such that the connecting member 25c automatically returns to its securing position when the lever 46 is relieved.
  • the upper arm 45 of the two-armed lever 46 which adjoins the lower arm 23c in the same plane or in the same plane, is designed as a plate-shaped handle 43, which lies at a distance from the circumference of the protective cap 17c that corresponds to the length of the joint webs 35c.
  • a locking member 44 in the form of an elongated pull tab is provided essentially without play, which projects freely over the upper end of the handle 43 and is in a plane perpendicular to the handle 43 level.
  • the locking member 44 is formed in one piece with the lever 46, the articulated webs 35c and the protective cap 17c and is connected at its lower end to a articulated web 35c via a linear predetermined breaking point 34c which is weakened in cross section and parallel to the articulated webs 35c.
  • the locking member 44 does not lie in the middle of the width of the handle 43, but adjacent to a side edge of the handle 43.
  • the locking member 44 cannot pivot the handle 43 against the circumference of the protective cap 17c. Only when the blocking member 44 has been removed by tearing in the area of the predetermined breaking point 34c, or at least by pivoting outward about the predetermined breaking point 34c perpendicular to the pivot axis 48, is the handle 43 free to operate. During this actuation, the connecting member (25c) is pivoted away from the connecting member 30 of the fastening flange 6c and thereby released, so that the protective cap 17c can be removed.
  • the connecting member 25c is pivoted back against the spring force by the deflecting surface 33c on the connecting member 30c, after which it jumps under the connecting member 30c in the securing position, so that the protective cap 17c can be repeatedly locked in place against the device.
  • the arm 23c is extended downward beyond the connecting member 25c, in such a way that a stop extension 47 is formed, the lower end face of which, when the protective cap 17c is in place, lies directly opposite an end shoulder of the fastening flange 6c. If the cap 13c is actuated axially in the pumping direction when the protective cap 17c is in place, the stop extension 47 strikes the fastening flange 6c, ie no pumping stroke can be carried out with the protective cap 17c in place.
