Abstract

A suspension loop of synthetic material or the like is attached with its ends to the cap which is provided with a groove into which the groove is releasably insertable for compactness during packaging, transport or sale. The loop can then be lifted from the groove to perform its suspension function. Where the cap is provided with a closing flap, this may also have groove for receiving the suspension loop.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Aufhängevorrichtung für mit einer Verschlußkappe ausgestattete Behälter, wie beispielsweise Flaschen, Dosen, Tuben und dergleichen aus Glas, Kunststoff oder Metall, mit einer vorzugsweise aus einer Kordel oder dergleichen gebildeten Aufhängeschlaufe.The present invention relates to a suspension device for containers equipped with a closure cap, such as bottles, cans, tubes and the like made of glass, plastic or metal, with a suspension loop preferably formed from a cord or the like.

Aufhängevorrichtungen dieser Art sind in den verschiedensten Ausführungsformen seit langem bekannt. Die Aufhängeschlaufe besteht dabei meist aus einem Spritzgußteil aus flexiblem Kunststoff, das in Form einer Kordel, einer Schnur, eines Bandes oder dergleichen geformt ist.Hanging devices of this type have long been known in various embodiments. The hanging loop usually consists of an injection molded part made of flexible plastic, which is shaped in the form of a cord, a cord, a band or the like.

Zur Befestigung der Aufhängeschlaufe sind verschiedene Konstruktionen bekannt. Bei einer dieser Konstruktionen ist die Aufhängeschlaufe im Bereich ihrer Enden mit einem druckknopfartigen Ansatz ausgestattet, der in eine entsprechend geformte Ausnehmung auf der Rückseite des Behälters einrastend eingepreßt werden kann. Derartige Konstruktionen sind jedoch sehr aufwendig, da die Aufhängeschlaufe als separates Teil hergestellt werden muß, die Ausnehmung auf der Rückseite des Behälters die Behälterform für die Herstellung des Behälters komplizierter gestaltet und ein zusätzlicher Arbeitsgang zum Zusammenfügen von Aufhängeschlaufe und Behälter erforderlich ist. Von besonderem Nachteil ist jedoch, daß die Aufhängeschlaufe nach dem Zusammenfügen vom Behälter weit absteht, was sich störend beim Verpackungsvorgang, beim Versand und beim Verkauf auswirkt.Various constructions are known for fastening the hanging loop. In one of these constructions, the hanging loop is equipped in the region of its ends with a push-button-like attachment which can be pressed into a correspondingly shaped recess on the back of the container. However, such constructions are very complex since the suspension loop has to be produced as a separate part, the recess on the back of the container makes the container shape for the production of the container more complicated and an additional operation is required to assemble the suspension loop and container. A particular disadvantage, however, is that the hanging loop protrudes far from the container after assembly, which has a disruptive effect on the packaging process, shipping and sales.

Zwar sind bereits auch weniger aufwendige Konstruktionen bekannt, bei denen die in Form eines Ringes gestaltete Aufhängeschlaufe einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe ausgebildet ist, so daß das oben beschriebene Zusammenfügen und damit der hierfür notwendige zusätzliche Arbeitsgang entfallen. Auch bei diesen Konstruktionen steht jedoch die Aufhängeschlaufe von der Verschlußkappe ab, wodurch Probleme beim Zuführen zum Verschließautomat, beim Aufschrauben der Verschlußkappe auf den Behälter, beim Verpacken, beim Versand und beim Verkauf entstehen.Less elaborate constructions are already known in which the ring is designed in the form of a ring hanging loop is integrally formed with the closure cap, so that the assembly described above and thus the additional operation necessary for this are eliminated. In these constructions, too, however, the hanging loop protrudes from the closure cap, which causes problems in feeding the closure machine, screwing the closure cap onto the container, in packaging, in shipping and in sale.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine vollkommen neuartige Aufhängevorrichtung zu schaffen, bei der die mit dem Abstehen der Aufhängeschlaufe vom Behälter bzw. von der Verschlußkappe zusammenhängenden Probleme nicht auftreten.The object of the present invention is to provide a completely new type of suspension device in which the problems associated with the protrusion of the suspension loop from the container or from the closure cap do not occur.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Aufhängeschlaufe zumindest teilweise in eine in der Verschlußkappe ausgebildete Nut lösbar eingesenkt und mit ihren Enden an der Verschlußkappe in an sich bekannter Weise befestigt ist.This object is achieved in that the suspension loop is at least partially releasably sunk in a groove formed in the cap and is attached with its ends to the cap in a conventional manner.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale ist erstmalig eine Aufhängevorrichtung geschaffen, bei der die Aufhängeschlaufe aufgrund der Anordnung in der Nut in die Verschlußkappe voll integiert ist. Abstehende Abschnitte, die beim Zuführen zum Verschließautomaten, beim Aufschrauben der Verschlußkappe auf den Behälter, beim Verpacken, beim Versand und beim Verkauf stören, sind daher nicht vorhanden.A suspension device is created for the first time by the features according to the invention, in which the suspension loop is fully integrated into the closure cap due to the arrangement in the groove. There are therefore no protruding sections which interfere with the feeding to the automatic sealing machine, when the sealing cap is screwed onto the container, during packaging, during shipping and when selling.

Um die Aufhängeschlaufe beim Gebrauch des Behälters benutzen zu können, ist es lediglich erforderlich, diese aus der Nut auszuheben, was aufgrund der flexiblen Ausgestaltung mittels eines einfachen Handgriffes möglich ist.In order to be able to use the hanging loop when using the container, it is only necessary to lift it out of the groove, which is possible by means of a simple handle due to the flexible design.

Grundsätzlich kann die Aufhängeschlaufe mit ihren Enden in jeder beliebigen Weise an der Verschlußkappe befestigt sein. Vorteilhaft ist es jedoch, wenn die Aufhängeschlaufe einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe ausgebildet ist, d.h. zusammen mit dieser in einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt wird. Bei diesem Herstellungsvorgang kann der Aufhängeschlaufe bereits die für das Einsenken in die Nut erforderliche Form verliehen werden.Basically, the ends of the suspension loop can be attached to the closure cap in any manner. However, it is advantageous if the suspension loop is formed in one piece with the closure cap, i.e. is produced together with this in one operation. In this manufacturing process, the suspension loop can already be given the shape required for sinking into the groove.

Grundsätzlich kann die Nut für die Aufhängeschlaufe in jeder beliebigen Weise über die Verschlußkappe geführt sein. Dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck und Erscheinungsbild entsprechend kann dabei eine symmetrische oder unsymmetrische Lage der Nut auf der Verschlußkappe gewählt werden. Eine besonders zweckmässige Ausgestaltung wird jedoch erreicht, wenn die Nut über die Oberseite der Verschlußkappe verläuft.In principle, the groove for the hanging loop can be guided over the closure cap in any way. Depending on the intended use and appearance, a symmetrical or asymmetrical position of the groove on the closure cap can be selected. A particularly expedient embodiment is achieved, however, if the groove extends over the top of the closure cap.

Aufhängevorrichtungen der erfindungsgemäßen Art eignen sich insbesondere für Verschlußkappen, deren Ausgabeöffnung für den Behälterinhalt mittels einer Verschließklappe abgedeckt wird. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung verläuft bei einer derartigen Konstruktion die Aufhängeschlaufe in in der Nut eingesenkter Lage über die Verschließklappe. Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung sichert die Aufhängeschlaufe die Verschließklappe beim Versand und beim Transport, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes öffnen und damit ein Austreten des Behälterinhaltes vermieden wird. Neben ihrer Aufhängefunktion hat somit die Aufhängeschlaufe beim Versand und beim Transport eine Sicherungsfunktion.Suspension devices of the type according to the invention are particularly suitable for closure caps, the discharge opening for the container contents of which is covered by a closure flap. According to a preferred development of the invention, in such a construction the suspension loop runs in the recessed position in the groove over the closing flap. In such a configuration, the suspension loop secures the closure flap during shipping and transportation, so that unintentional opening and thus escape of the container contents is avoided. In addition to its hanging function, the hanging loop has a securing function during shipping and transportation.

Bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung kann die Aufhängeschlaufe neben der Sicherungsfunktion auch eine Originalitätsfunktion haben. So kann beispielsweise durch Anordnung einer Siegelmarke oder dergleichen an der Aufhängeschlaufe sichtbar gemacht werden, ob der Behälter bereits geöffnet worden ist, oder ob sich der Behälter noch in seinem ursprünglichen verschlossenen Zustand befindet.With a corresponding design, the hanging loop can also have an originality function in addition to the securing function. For example, by placing a seal mark or the like on the hanging loop, it can be seen whether the container has already been opened or whether the container is still in its original closed state.

Grundsätzlich kann die Aufhängeschlaufe in jeder beliebigen Weise über die Verschließklappe verlaufen. Eine besonders sichere Lagefixierung der Aufhängeschlaufe wird jedoch gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbesipiel der Erfindung dann erreicht, wenn die Verschließklappe mit einer Nut ausgestattet ist, die mit der in der Verschlußkappe angeordneten Nut fluchtet.In principle, the hanging loop can run over the closing flap in any way. A particularly secure position fixation of the suspension loop is achieved, however, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, when the closure flap is equipped with a groove which is aligned with the groove arranged in the closure cap.

Im folgenden ist zur weiteren Erläuterung und zum besseren Verständnis ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.

  • Figur 1 zeigt eine Aufhängevorrichtung der erfindungsgemäßen Art, bei der die Aufhängeschlaufe in einer in der Verschlußkappe ausgebildeten Nut liegt,
  • Figur 2 zeigt in einer ersten Phase das Ausheben der Aufhängeschlaufe aus der Nut beim öffnungsvorgang, und
  • Figur 3 zeigt die Aufhängeschlaufe in ihrer Einsatzstellung bei geöffnetem Behälter.
In the following an embodiment of the invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings for further explanation and for better understanding.
  • FIG. 1 shows a suspension device of the type according to the invention, in which the suspension loop lies in a groove formed in the closure cap,
  • Figure 2 shows in a first phase the lifting of the suspension loop from the groove during the opening process, and
  • Figure 3 shows the hanging loop in its use position with the container open.

Wie aus den Figuren hervorgeht, ist ein Behälter 1 aus Kunststoff oder dergleichen mit einer Verschlußkappe 2 ausgestattet. Die Verschlußkappe 2 besitzt auf ihrer Oberseite 3 eine Ausgabeöffnung 4 für den Behälterinhalt. Diese Ausgabeöffnung 4 kann mit einer Verschließklappe 5 verschlossen werden, welche in an sich bekannter Weise über ein Filmscharnier 6 einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe 2 verbunden ist.As can be seen from the figures, a container 1 made of plastic or the like is equipped with a closure cap 2. The closure cap 2 has on its top 3 an outlet opening 4 for the contents of the container. This dispensing opening 4 can be closed with a closure flap 5 which is integrally connected to the closure cap 2 in a manner known per se via a film hinge 6.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel verläuft über die Oberseite 3 der Verschlußkappe 2 eine Nut 7. Die Verschließklappe 5 ist ebenfalls mit einer Nut 8 ausgestattet, die mit der in der Verschlußkappe 2 angeordneten Nut 7 fluchtet.In the present exemplary embodiment, a groove 7 runs over the upper side 3 of the closure cap 2. The closure flap 5 is also equipped with a groove 8 which is aligned with the groove 7 arranged in the closure cap 2.

An die Verschlußkappe 2 ist im Bereich deren unteren Randes unterhalb des Filmscharnieres 6 eine Aufhängeschlaufe 9 angespritzt. Diese Aufhängeschlaufe 9 ist derart gestaltet, daß sie die Struktur einer Kordel, einer Schnur oder dergleichen aufweist. Die Länge der Aufhängeschlaufe 9 ist derart bemessen, daß die Aufhängeschlaufe in in der Nut 7 und 8 eingesenkter Lage (vgl. Figur 1) eng an der Verschlußkappe 2 anliegt. Auf diese Weise werden Probleme beim Zuführen zum Verschließautomaten, beim Aufschrauben der Verschlußkappe auf den Behälter, beim Verpacken, beim Versand und beim Verkauf vermieden.A suspension loop 9 is molded onto the closure cap 2 in the area of its lower edge below the film hinge 6. This hanging loop 9 is designed such that it has the structure of a cord, a cord or the like. The length of the suspension loop 9 is dimensioned such that that the suspension loop lies in the groove 7 and 8 in the recessed position (see FIG. 1) closely against the closure cap 2. In this way, problems with feeding to the automatic sealing machine, screwing the sealing cap onto the container, packaging, shipping and sales are avoided.

In in der Nut eingesenkter Lage hat die Aufhängeschlaufe - wie eingangs bereits beschrieben - eine Sicherungsfunktion. So wird die Verschließklappe 5 durch die in der Nut 8 liegende Aufhängeschlaufe 9 in ihrer Schließlage gehalten, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes öffnen und damit ein Auslaufen des Behälterinhaltes vermieden wird.In the recessed position in the groove, the hanging loop has a securing function, as already described at the beginning. Thus, the closing flap 5 is held in its closed position by the hanging loop 9 lying in the groove 8, so that an unintentional opening and thus leakage of the container contents is avoided.

Bei entsprechender Anordnung eines Siegels oder dergleichen hat die Aufhängeschlaufe 9 darüberhinaus eine Originalitätsfunktion, wie dies eingangs ebenfalls bereits beschrieben wurde.With a corresponding arrangement of a seal or the like, the hanging loop 9 also has an originality function, as was also described at the beginning.

Behälter mit Aufhängevorrichtungen der erfindungsgemäßen Art gelangen zum Verbraucher in einem Zustand, wie er in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Die Aufhängeschlaufe 9 liegt dabei in der über die Oberseite der Verschlußkappe 2 verlaufenden Nut 7 und in den übrigen Abschnitten eng an der Außenwandung der Verschlußkappe an.Containers with suspension devices of the type according to the invention reach the consumer in a state as shown in FIG. 1. The suspension loop 9 lies in the groove 7 extending over the top of the closure cap 2 and in the remaining sections closely against the outer wall of the closure cap.

Wird der Behälter nun vom Verbraucher das erste Mal geöffnet, so wird die Verschließklappe 5 - wie in Figur 2 dargestellt - in Richtung des Pfeiles P nach oben geschoben. Aufgrund dieser Bewegung der Schließklappe 5 wird die Aufhängeschlaufe 9 aus der Nut 7 ausgehoben. Aufgrund ihrer Elastizität springt die Aufhängeschlaufe 9 dann in die in Figur 3 gezeigte Lage, in der sie auch bei einem Wiederverschließen des Behälters, d. h. einem Zurückverschwenken der Verschließklappe 5 in die Verschließlage verbleibt. Dies bedeutet, daß die Aufhängeschlaufe 9 nach dem ersten öffnen des Behälters in der in Figur 3 dargestellten Bestimmungslage verbleibt, in der sie ihre Aufhängefunktion erfüllen kann.If the container is now opened by the consumer for the first time, the closing flap 5 is pushed upward in the direction of arrow P, as shown in FIG. Due to this movement of the closing flap 5, the suspension loop 9 is lifted out of the groove 7. Due to its elasticity, the suspension loop 9 then jumps into the position shown in FIG. 3, in which it remains even when the container is closed again, ie when the closure flap 5 is pivoted back into the closed position. This means that the suspensions loop 9 after the first opening of the container remains in the determination position shown in FIG. 3, in which it can fulfill its hanging function.
