Definitions
- the present invention relates to a suspension device for containers equipped with a closure cap, such as bottles, made of plastic with a suspension loop preferably formed from a cord or the like, the ends of which are attached to the closure cap by injection molding, the closure cap having a discharge opening for the contents of the container , which is covered by a closing flap.
- the suspension 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.
- the suspension 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.
- a push-button-like attachment which can be pressed into a correspondingly shaped recess on the back of the container.
- 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.
- Such a construction with a semi-ring-shaped suspension loop is known for example from DE-3 147 097 A1.
- This semi-ring-shaped suspension loop which is formed in one piece with the closure cap, is provided with a plate-shaped carrier to which a plug is fastened, with which the outlet opening of the container can be closed.
- the hanging loop is held in the closed state of the container in the immediate vicinity of the outer surface of the closure cap, but a protrusion of the hanging loop with the disadvantages described above is not prevented.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a completely new type of suspension device create in which the problems associated with the protrusion of the suspension loop from the container or from the closure cap do not occur.
- closure flap (5) is integrally connected to the closure cap (2) in a manner known per se via a film hinge (6) that the Suspension loop is at least partially detachably recessed into a groove formed in the closure cap and in the lowered position extends over the closure flap (5) and that the length of the suspension loop (9) is dimensioned such that it lies closely against the closure cap in the recessed position in the groove.
- a suspension device is created for the first time, 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 closure cap is screwed onto the container, during packaging, during shipping and when selling.
- the known construction according to DE-3 147 097 A1 is based on the task of creating a container in which the hanging loop in the closed position of the container assumes a position which does not necessarily protrude from the container.
- the known construction only reduces the extent to which the hanging loop protrudes from the container, but does not achieve the full integration of the hanging loop caused by the features according to the invention, which avoids the problems described at the outset.
- a full integration of a hanging ring on a screw cap of a flashlight is already known from US Pat. No. 2,882,388.
- the suspension ring lies within an annular edge bead which is formed on the end face of the screw cap. Two retaining hooks are provided within the annular bead, which hold the suspension ring in the lowered position.
- suspension loop Since the suspension loop is formed in one piece with the closure cap in a manner known per se, it can be produced together with the latter in one operation. In this manufacturing process, the suspension loop can already be given the shape required for sinking into the groove.
- the groove for the hanging loop can be guided over the closure cap in any way.
- 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 runs over the top of the closure cap.
- the suspension loop runs in the recessed position in the groove over the closing flap.
- the hanging loop secures the closing flap during shipping and transportation, so that unintentional opening and thus leakage of the container contents is avoided.
- the hanging loop has a securing function during shipping and transportation.
- the hanging loop can also have an originality function in addition to the securing function. For example, by arranging a sealing mark or the like on the hanging loop, it can be made visible whether the container has already been opened or whether the container is still in its original closed state.
- the hanging loop can run over the closing flap in any way.
- a particularly secure position fixation of the suspension loop is achieved according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, if the closure flap is equipped with a groove which is aligned with the groove arranged in the closure cap.
- 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 closing flap 5 which is integrally connected to the closing cap 2 in a manner known per se via a film hinge 6.
- 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.
- a suspension loop 9 is injection molded onto the closure cap 2 in the area of its lower edge below the film hinge 6.
- This suspension 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 the suspension loop lies tightly against the closure cap 2 in the recess 7 and 8 (see FIG. 1). This will cause feeding problems to the automatic sealing machine, when screwing the sealing cap onto the container, when packaging, when shipping and when selling.
- the hanging loop In the recessed position in the groove, the hanging loop has already described as a start - a safety function.
- the closing flap 5 is held in its closed position by the hanging loop 9 located in the groove 8, so that unintentional opening and thus leakage of the container contents is avoided.
- the hanging loop 9 also has an originality function, as was also described at the beginning.
- 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.
- 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 also rests when the container is reclosed, ie. H. a pivoting back of the closure flap 5 remains in the closed position. This means that after the first opening of the container, the hanging loop 9 remains in the determination position shown in FIG. 3, in which it can fulfill its hanging function.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Aufhängevorrichtung für mit einer Verschlußkappe ausgestattete Behälther, wie Flaschen, aus Kunststoff mit einer vorzugsweise aus einer Kordel oder dergleichen gebildeten Aufhängeschlaufe, die mit ihrem Enden an die Verschlußkappe durch Anspritzen befestigt ist, wobei die Verschlußkappe eine Ausgabeöffnung für den Behälterinhalt aufweist, welche mittels einer Verschließklappe abgedeckt ist.The present invention relates to a suspension device for containers equipped with a closure cap, such as bottles, made of plastic with a suspension loop preferably formed from a cord or the like, the ends of which are attached to the closure cap by injection molding, the closure cap having a discharge opening for the contents of the container , which is covered by a closing flap.
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 suspension 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 suspension loop. In one of these constructions, the suspension 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 oder Halbringes 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.Although less complex constructions are already known in which the suspension loop designed in the form of a ring or half ring is formed in one piece 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 creates problems with feeding to the closure machine, with screwing the closure cap onto the container, with packaging, with shipping and with sale.
Eine derartige Konstruktion mit halbringförmiger Aufhängeschlaufe ist beispielsweise aus der DE-3 147 097 Al bekannt. Diese halbringförmige Aufhängeschlaufe, die einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe ausgebildet ist, ist mit einem plattenförmigen Träger versehen, an dem ein Stöpsel befestigt ist, mit dem die Austrittsöffnung des Behälters verschlossen werden kann. Durch diese Anordnung wird die Aufhängeschlaufe im verschlossenen Zustand des Behälters zwar in unmittelbarer Nähe der Außenfläche der Verschlußkappe gehalten, ein Abstehen der Aufhängeschlaufe mit den oben beschriebenen Nachteilen jedoch nicht verhindert.Such a construction with a semi-ring-shaped suspension loop is known for example from DE-3 147 097 A1. This semi-ring-shaped suspension loop, which is formed in one piece with the closure cap, is provided with a plate-shaped carrier to which a plug is fastened, with which the outlet opening of the container can be closed. With this arrangement, the hanging loop is held in the closed state of the container in the immediate vicinity of the outer surface of the closure cap, but a protrusion of the hanging loop with the disadvantages described above is not prevented.
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 create 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 Verschließklappe (5) in an sich bekannter Weise über ein Filmscharnier (6) einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe (2) verbunden ist, daß die Aufhängeschlaufe zumindest teilweise in eine in der Verschlußkappe ausgebildete Nut lösbar eingesenkt ist und in der eingesenkten Lage über die Verschließklappe (5) verläuft und daß die Länge der Aufhängeschlaufe (9) derart bemessen ist, daß sie in der in der Nut eingesenkten Lage eng an der Verschlußkappe anliegt.This object is achieved in that the closure flap (5) is integrally connected to the closure cap (2) in a manner known per se via a film hinge (6) that the Suspension loop is at least partially detachably recessed into a groove formed in the closure cap and in the lowered position extends over the closure flap (5) and that the length of the suspension loop (9) is dimensioned such that it lies closely against the closure cap in the recessed position in the groove.
Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale ist erstmalig eine Aufhängevorrichtung geschaffen, bei der die Aufhängeschlaufe aufgrund der Anordnung in der Nut in die Verschlußkappe voll integriert ist. Abstehende Abschnitte, die beim Zuführen zum Verschleßautomaten, beim Aufschrauben der Verschlußkappe auf den Behälter, beim Verpacken, beim Versand und beim Verkauf stören, sind daher nicht vorhanden.Due to the features of the invention, a suspension device is created for the first time, 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 closure cap is screwed onto the container, during packaging, during shipping and when selling.
Zwar liegt der bekannten Konstruktion nach der DE-3 147 097 Al schon die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter zu schaffen, bei dem die Aufhängeschlaufe in der Schließstellung des Behälters eine zwangsläufig nicht vom Behälter abstehende Position einnimmt. Durch die bekannte Konstruktion ist jedoch lediglich das Maß verringert, um das die Aufhängeschlaufe vom Behälter absteht, nicht aber die durch die erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale hervorgerufene volle Integration der Aufhängeschlaufe erreicht, die die eingangs geschilderten Probleme vermeidet. Zwar ist eine volle Integration eines Aufhängeringes an einer Schraubkappe einer Taschenlampe aus der US-A-2 882 388 bereits bekannt. Bei dieser auf dem Gebiet der Leuchten bekannten Konstruktion liegt jedoch der Aufhängering innerhalb eines ringförmigen Randwulstes, der stirnseitig an der Schraubkappe ausgebildet ist. Innerhalb des ringförmigen Randwulstes sind zwei Haltehaken vorgesehen, die den Aufhängering in der eingesenkten Lage halten.The known construction according to DE-3 147 097 A1 is based on the task of creating a container in which the hanging loop in the closed position of the container assumes a position which does not necessarily protrude from the container. However, the known construction only reduces the extent to which the hanging loop protrudes from the container, but does not achieve the full integration of the hanging loop caused by the features according to the invention, which avoids the problems described at the outset. A full integration of a hanging ring on a screw cap of a flashlight is already known from US Pat. No. 2,882,388. In this construction known in the field of luminaires, however, the suspension ring lies within an annular edge bead which is formed on the end face of the screw cap. Two retaining hooks are provided within the annular bead, which hold the suspension ring in the lowered position.
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.
Da die Aufhängeschlaufe in ansich bekanntes Weise einstückig mit der Verschlußkappe ausgebildet ist, kann sie zusammen mit dieser in einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt werden. Bei diesem Herstellungsvorgang kann der Aufhängeschlaufe bereits die für das Einsenken in die Nut erforderliche Form verliehen werden.Since the suspension loop is formed in one piece with the closure cap in a manner known per se, it can be produced together with the latter 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 runs over the top of the closure cap.
Gemäß der Erfindung verläuft die Aufhängeschlaufe in in der Nut eingesenkter Lage über die Verschließklappe.According to the invention, the suspension loop runs in the recessed position in the groove over the closing flap.
Auf Grund dieser 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.Because of this configuration, the hanging loop secures the closing flap during shipping and transportation, so that unintentional opening and thus leakage 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 arranging a sealing mark or the like on the hanging loop, it can be made visible 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 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, if 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.

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
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 fluchet.In the present exemplary embodiment, a groove 7 runs over the upper side 3 of the
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
In in der Nut eingesenkter Lage hat die Aufhängeschlaufewie eingangs bereits beschrieben - eine Sicherungsfunktion. So wird die Verschließklappe 5 durch die in der Nut 8 liegende Aufhangeschlaufe 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 already described as a start - a safety function. Thus, the closing flap 5 is held in its closed position by the hanging
