Abstract

A circular tamper-proof closure device and process for sealing threaded bottles, jars, and similar containers are disclosed. The closure comprises a sealing ring containing a peripheral lip, a wedge-shaped security ring, retaining bridges to join the sealing ring to the security ring, an annular stop to limit the movement of the security ring, and a metallic cap with a rim that is wedged into the sealing ring between the lip and the security ring. The closure is fastened to the threaded bottle by securing the sealing ring to the bottle and forming threads on the metallic cap.

Description

Zum Sichern von Metallverschlüssen gegen unerlaubtes Öffnen sind folgende Systeme bekannt :The following systems are known for securing metal closures against unauthorized opening:

1. Pilferproof-Verschlüsse-1. Pilferproof closures-

Diese Ganzmetallverschlüsse bestehen aus einem Verschlußkörper und einem Sicherungsring, der Schwächungszonen durch Einkerbungen oder Ausstanzungen aufweist. Beim Abschrauben der Verschlußkappe wird der Sicherungsring entlang der Schwächungslinie vom Verschluß getrennt und bleibt auf der Behältermündung zurück.These all-metal fasteners consist of a fastener body and a locking ring that has weakening zones due to notches or punched-outs. When the cap is unscrewed, the retaining ring is separated from the closure along the line of weakness and remains on the container mouth.

Dieser Verschluß hat den Nachteil, daß er beim Wiederverwenden des Behälters umständlich entfernt werden muß.This closure has the disadvantage that it has to be laboriously removed when reusing the container.

2. Lamellen-Verschluß2. Slat closure

Dieser Verschluß weist am unteren Ende Lamellen auf, die sich beim Abschrauben des Verschlusses spreizen und dadurch das unerlaubte Öffnen einer Flasche anzeigen.This closure has lamellae at the lower end which spread when the closure is unscrewed and thereby indicate the unauthorized opening of a bottle.

Die gespreizten Lamellen sind jedoch scharfkantig und erhöhen die Verletzungsgefahr.The spread slats are sharp-edged and increase the risk of injury.

3. Schrumpf-Verschluß3. Shrink closure

Es sind ferner Kunststoff-Metall-Verschlüsse bekannt, die dadurch hergestellt werden, daß über den Verschluß eine Kunststoffsicherungshülle geschoben und aufgeschrumpft wird. Hierzu benötigt man komplizierte und zeitaufwendige Arbeitsverfahren beim Verschließen einer abgefüllten Flasche.Plastic-metal closures are also known which are produced by pushing and shrink-fitting a plastic safety cover over the closure. This requires complicated and time-consuming work procedures when closing a filled bottle.

Es sind weiterhin Kunststoff-Metallverschlüsse bekannt, bei denen der Kunststoffsicherungsring an der Innenseite des Metallverschlusses befestigt ist.Plastic-metal closures are also known in which the plastic locking ring is attached to the inside of the metal closure.

Beim Öffnen des Verschlusses bleibt der Kunststoffring im Innern des Metallverschlusses zurück und behindert dadurch das Wiedereinschmelzen der gebrauchten Verschlüsse.When the lock is opened, the plastic ring remains inside the metal lock, preventing the used locks from melting again.

Durch die US-A 2 162 753 ist ein Verfahren zur Sicherung von Verschlüssen von Flaschen, Weithals- und ähnlichen Behältern gegen unbemerktes Öffnen bekannt, wobei ein Metallverschluß in einem Sicherungsring mechanisch verankert wird, der Sicherungsring mit dem Flaschenverschluß auf die Behältermündung aufgesetzt und dabei eine Sicherungsklaue hinter den unteren Absatz des Flaschenhalses eingreift und sodann das Gewinde des Verschlusses angerollt wird. An dem feststehenden Behälter sind nach außen stehende « Haken angebracht, in deren Zwischenraum ein Ring eingedrückt wird. Dieser Ring soll aus einem leicht brechbaren Material bestehen. Der Ring ist befestigt an der eigentlichen Gewindekappe. Wird diese Kappe aufgedreht, bricht durch die Haken der äußere Ring ab und zerfällt in Teile.From US-A 2 162 753 a method for securing closures of bottles, wide-necked and similar containers against undetected opening is known, wherein a metal closure is mechanically anchored in a locking ring, the locking ring with the bottle closure is placed on the container mouth and thereby one The locking claw engages behind the lower section of the bottle neck and then the thread of the closure is rolled on. On the fixed container there are hooks on the outside, in the space between which a ring is pressed. This ring is said to be made of an easily breakable material. The ring is attached to the actual threaded cap. If this cap is unscrewed, the hook breaks off the outer ring and disintegrates into parts.

Nachteilig an diesem Sicherungsring ist, daß der Ring auf dem Verschluß beim Aufdrehen abfällt und dadurch das Öffnen nicht angezeigt wird.A disadvantage of this locking ring is that the ring falls off the closure when it is unscrewed and the opening is therefore not displayed.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Sicherungsring für übliche Pilferproof-Metallverschlüsse zu entwickeln, der mechanisch am Metallverschluß befestigt und leicht getrennt werden kann.The object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned and to develop a locking ring for conventional pilferproof metal closures which can be mechanically attached to the metal closure and easily separated.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im in bezug auf die US-A-2 162 753 abgegrenzten Anspruch 1 und in den Patentansprüchen 2-4 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Es ist ein besonderer Vorteil der Erfindung, daß beim Öffnen des Verschlusses sowohl ein optisches als auch ein akustisches Signal wahrgenommen werden kann. Da der Sicherungsring lediglich mechanisch mit dem Metallverschluß verklammert ist, kann die .Trennung des aufgeschraubten Verschlusses vom Sicherungsring leicht erfolgen.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features defined in relation to US Pat. No. 2,162,753 and in claims 2-4. It is a particular advantage of the invention that both an optical and an acoustic signal can be perceived when the closure is opened. Since the locking ring is only mechanically clamped to the metal lock, it is easy to separate the screwed-on lock from the locking ring.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Fig. 1 Metallverschluß üblicher Bauart
  • Fig. 2 erfindungsgemäßer Sicherungsring im Ausgangszustand
  • Fig. 3 Querschnitt des erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsringes im eingebauten Zustand.
The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of several exemplary embodiments. Show it :
  • Fig. 1 metal closure of the usual type
  • Fig. 2 inventive circlip in the initial state
  • Fig. 3 cross section of the retaining ring according to the invention in the installed state.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Teilquerschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Metallverschluß mit Rollrand 3 dargestellt. Der Metallverschluß ist fertigungstechnisch einfach herzustellen, da er keine besonderen Passungs-Dichtungsflächen aufweist.In Fig. 1, a partial cross section through a metal closure according to the invention with rolled edge 3 is shown. The metal closure is easy to manufacture from a manufacturing point of view, since it has no special fit sealing surfaces.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Teilquerschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsring im Zustand vor der Verklammerung mit dem Metallverschluß. Der bewegliche Verankerungssteg 2 weist in der Ausgangsstellung nach oben und ist so dimensioniert, daß beim Einschieben des Metallverschlusses keine Aufweitung des Sicherungsringes erfolgt. Am unteren Ende des Sicherungsringes befindet sich die Sicherungsklaue 5 mit horizontaler und vertikaler Keilfläche, die über Haltestege 7 am Mantel des Sicherungsringes befestigt sind. Das Widerlager 6 begrenzt die Bewegung der Sicherungsklaue 5 und ist entsprechend steif ausgebildet.Fig. 2 shows a partial cross section through a locking ring according to the invention in the state before clipping with the metal closure. The movable anchoring web 2 points upwards in the starting position and is dimensioned in such a way that when the metal closure is pushed in, the securing ring is not widened. At the lower end of the locking ring there is the locking claw 5 with a horizontal and vertical wedge surface, which are fastened to the jacket of the locking ring via retaining webs 7. The abutment 6 limits the movement of the securing claw 5 and is designed to be correspondingly rigid.

Aus Fig. 3 kann man den erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsring im eingebauten Zustand erkennen. Der Sicherungsring 1 ist mit dem Verankerungssteg 2 am Rollrand 3 des Metallverschlusses 4 eingeklipst. Die Sicherungsklaue 5 greift hinter die untere Nocke 8 der Flaschenmündung.From Fig. 3 you can see the circlip according to the invention in the installed state. The locking ring 1 is clipped onto the anchoring web 2 on the rolled edge 3 of the metal closure 4. The securing claw 5 engages behind the lower cam 8 of the bottle mouth.

Beim Öffnen der Verschlußkappe wird der Sicherungsring 1 mit angehoben. Dabei bewegt sich die Sicherungsklaue 5 nach unten, bis sie gegen das Gegenlager 6 anschlägt. Beim Weiterdrehen reißt dann die Sicherungsklaue 5 an den Haltestegen 7 ein.When the cap is opened, the locking ring 1 is also lifted. The securing claw 5 moves downwards until it strikes the counter bearing 6. When turning further, the securing claw 5 then tears at the retaining webs 7.

Beim Ahnehmen der Verschlußkappe ist der Sicherungsring 1 mit der eingerissenen Verschlußkappe 5 nur noch lose verbunden, so daß er beim Wiederverschließen leicht von Hand entfernt werden kann. Dadurch wird die Einschmelzung des Metallverschlusses nach Gebrauch erleichtert.When accepting the cap, the locking ring 1 with the torn Ver end cap 5 only loosely connected so that it can be easily removed by hand when reclosing. This makes it easier to melt the metal closure after use.
