Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering closure for a container which contains liquid or free-flowing material.
  • Dosing closures which fulfill the function of a measuring cup and consist of a cap which can be fixed on the container neck and has a defined volume, e.g. B. DE-A-2 647 393.
  • the container neck is usually designed as a screw socket on which the cap can be screwed.
  • the pouring out of liquid or free-flowing material is difficult because it takes place over the edge of the screw connector and no aids to facilitate metering, such as. B. a beak or a spout are available.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a metering closure which fulfills the function of a measuring cup and at the same time allows a convenient and metered pouring out of liquid or free-flowing material from a container.
  • a metering closure with a cup which can be fixed on the container neck and serves as a closure and has a defined volume in that the cup has a pouring opening in the bottom region which can be sealed with an attached lid.
  • the dosing closure according to the invention allows liquid or free-flowing material to be emptied out of the container through its pouring opening when the cup is placed on the container.
  • the lid on the cup is opened or removed and the pouring opening is opened.
  • Appropriate shaping and dimensioning of the pouring opening makes it possible to achieve precise, well-dosed pouring, which is much more convenient than pouring directly out of the neck of the container.
  • the cup can also be detached from the neck of the container, whereupon it fulfills the usual function of a measuring cup when the lid is closed. With the lid open or removed, the cup removed from the neck of the container can also be used advantageously as a funnel.
  • a pouring spout projecting axially outward can be provided in the bottom region of the cup. This facilitates targeted pouring and is particularly suitable for the funnel function mentioned.
  • a hinged lid is preferably provided as the lid, which is hinged to the cup and overlaps the pouring spout.
  • Such a hinged lid can be integrally formed in one piece on the cup in a technically inexpensive manner. It is captively connected to the cup and always shows in an eye-catching manner whether the pouring spout is open or closed.
  • a closure piece fitting in or over the pouring spout can be integrally formed on the hinged lid in a manner which is not expensive to produce.
  • the sealing piece and pouring spout create a particularly good seal with a large sealing surface.
  • the pouring spout can be positioned off-center at the bottom of the cap. This arrangement serves for pouring close to the edge, and it facilitates the complete emptying of the container.
  • the free end of the pouring spout can be beveled, its higher edge preferably being arranged radially on the outside of the cup.
  • the pouring spout has the shape of a can beak, and accordingly a well-dosed, precise pouring is easy.
  • the molded on the hinged lid can pivot when closing the hinged lid in or over the pouring spout, whereby its mouth opening is closed and perfectly sealed. In particular, the closure piece can easily enter into the pouring spout due to the bevel.
  • the shape of a cylindrical tube stub is advantageous, the interior of which is part of the cap volume. This design is particularly material and space-saving.
  • the hinge of the hinged lid can be formed by a predetermined bending point in the material of the dosing closure.
  • the joint can have a central flexible tab which is flanked on both sides by tangential arms that are mirror-symmetrical to the joint axis.
  • the latter can form a butterfly shape in plan view from above and a double-jagged crown shape with tips running away from the joint axis and the tab in rear view.
  • the hinged lid is held in a particularly stable manner on the cup and, if necessary, tensioned in a preferred position.
  • the cup can preferably fit into the container neck and is coaxially surrounded by an apron formed on a radially protruding edge of its base, the container neck fitting between the cup part and the apron in a form-fitting manner.
  • the apron can in particular have an internal thread, so that the metering closure can be screwed onto a container neck. This gives a connection which is adapted to known container shapes and is suitable for widespread use.
  • the position of the cup part sunk into the container leads to a particularly compact structure.
  • a metering closure according to the invention has a cup 10, which is inserted with the opening down into the neck 12 of a container for liquid or free-flowing material.
  • the cup 10 has a circular cylindrical wall 14 and a flat bottom 16 at one axial end.
  • the bottom 16 projects radially beyond the wall 14. He wears an integral apron 18, which is provided with an internal thread on its inner jacket.
  • the container neck 12 has a threaded connector suitable for screwing on the metering closure, which in the screwed-on state lies positively and with a seal between the apron 18 and the outer jacket of the cup 10.
  • the cup 10 protrudes a considerable distance into the container 20 when the dosing cap is screwed on.
  • a pouring spout 22 protrudes axially outward from the base 16 of the cup 10. This spout is constructed in an eccentric arrangement on the base 16, to which it is integrally formed.
  • the cross section of the pouring spout 22 is circular, and its free end is cut off obliquely, the bevel enclosing an angle of 45 ° to 65 °, preferably 55 °, with the central axis of the pouring spout 22.
  • the axially most distant upper edge 24 of the slope of the pouring spout 22 is located on the radial outside of the bottom 16, and the axially least distant lower edge 26 of the slope of the pouring spout 22 is almost in the center of the bottom 16.
  • the pouring spout 22 thus has the shape of a short beak, which is obtained by chamfering a cylinder tube and is axial with respect to the cup 10. Its diameter is slightly less than half the diameter of the cup 10 or corresponds to this.
  • a hinged lid 28 is articulated on the side of the metering closure facing away from the pouring spout 22.
  • This has a cylindrical housing with a bottom 30 which, when the hinged lid 28 is closed, lies parallel to the bottom 16 of the cup 10 above the pouring spout 22.
  • a pipe stub 32 projects vertically from the bottom 30 on the inside of the hinged cover 28. The height of the tube stub 32 corresponds approximately to the height of the jacket 34 of the cylindrical part of the hinged lid 28.
  • the tube stub 32 is dimensioned such that it pivots into the pouring spout 22 when the hinged lid 28 is closed, from the low side due to the bevel.
  • the pipe stub 32 thus forms a closure piece which fits into the pouring spout 22 and closes it in a sealing manner.
  • the jacket 34 of the hinged lid 28 lies flush against the bottom 16 of the cup 10 or at the upper edge of the apron 18. In this way, a second sealing point can be formed, which ensures increased sealing reliability.
  • the arrangement of the pipe stub 32 on the hinged lid 28 is correspondingly off-center, like that of the pouring spout 22 on the bottom 16 of the cup 10.
  • the point of symmetry lies in the pivot axis of the hinged lid 28, which is on the upper edge of the apron 18, i.e. is articulated to the apron 18 at the level of the base 16 and is integrally connected to the latter.
  • the joint can be seen in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8 and is constructed as follows:
  • the apron 18 and the edge 36 of the jacket 34 delimiting the opening of the hinged lid 28 are connected by a material bridge which is in the area of a common one Tangent to the cup 10 and hinged lid 28 extends and is divided into three sections.
  • a central flexible tab 38 which is flanked on both sides by tangential arms 40 which are mirror-symmetrical to the articulation axis.
  • the entirety of the tangential arms 40 has a butterfly shape in an axial plan view (see FIG. 4).
  • the tangential arms 40 run tangentially into the circumference of the cup 10 or hinged lid 28, which results in an approximately trapezoidal plan for each of the tangential arms 40.
  • the edge edges of the tangential arms 40 meet at an approximately right angle in the joint axis.
  • side view see FIGS.
  • the tangential arms 40 engage in height offset on the cup 10 or on the hinged lid 28 and enclose an acute angle of approximately 40 ° with the plane of the bottom 16 of the cup 10.
  • the tangential arms 40 have a curved course, which can be described in a rear plan view (see FIG. 8) of the joint axis by a double prong crown shape with tips running away from the joint axis and the central tab 38.
  • the hinged lid 28 On the side of the hinged lid 28 facing away from the hinge axis, its jacket 34 slightly recedes from the edge of the associated base 30. A protrusion 42 is thus formed, on which the hinged lid 28 can be easily grasped and raised.
  • the projection 42 in the cup 10 corresponds to a flattening 44 at a corresponding diametrically opposite point, which also marks the opening point.
  • the apron 18 is on its exterior Tel provided with axial grooves on which the dosing cap can be easily grasped and screwed onto the neck 12 of the container 20.
  • the dosing closure fulfills various functions. In the screwed-on state and with the hinged lid 28 closed, it closes the container 20. In order to remove liquid or free-flowing material, the hinged lid 28 is opened, whereby the pouring spout 22 is released. Due to its beak or spout shape, this now allows convenient, well-dosed pouring. On the other hand, if you unscrew the dosing cap from the container 20, you get a measuring cup with the hinged lid 28 closed. Its volume is essentially determined by the volume of the cup 10, but the interior of the tube stub 32, which serves as a closure piece and is formed on the hinged cover 28, also contributes to the measurement volume. Finally, you can use the unscrewed dosing cap with the hinged lid 28 open as a funnel.
