Definitions

  • Guarantee tapes on plastic closures serve as a guarantee of integrity for a product packaged in a container with a plastic closure. So far, guarantee tapes have mostly only been used for two-part plastic closures. In the case of such closures, which consist of a separate lower part and a cap which can be placed thereon, the guarantee band is connected to the lower part via webs and completely wraps around the closure, that is to say by 360 degrees.
  • Form-locking means arranged on the guarantee band make it impossible to open the cap before the guarantee band is torn off.
  • the guarantee band can also be attached to the cap and engage in a form-fitting manner in the lower part.
  • the present invention relates to a plastic closure, consisting of a lower part and a cap connected in one piece via a hinge, and a guarantee band arranged on the lower part of the closure.
  • the guarantee band When it is closed for the first time, the guarantee band is deformed relatively strongly before the cams engage in the openings. There is a risk that the predetermined breaking points between the guarantee band and the lower part will be unintentionally torn.
  • FR-A-2.113.896 relates to a closure in which the guarantee band has an opening which, when the closure is closed, grips the handle of the cap. With this closure, too, a strong deformation of the guarantee band occurs when it is closed for the first time.
  • the invention solves this problem with a plastic closure, which has the features of claim 1.
  • guarantee band only extends over half the circumference of the cap means that no forces are exerted on the guarantee band when it is closed for the first time. This eliminates the risk of unwanted tearing of the predetermined breaking points.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that a lateral recessed grip that runs into the cap surface is formed in the cap. This recess makes it possible to grasp the guarantee band, even without this having an additional tear-open tab. Another advantage is that the guarantee tape gripped in this way is torn off obliquely downwards, thereby increasing the notch effect on the material in the area of the predetermined breaking webs.
  • the guarantee band is as close as possible to the cap, the risk of the guarantee band being accidentally broken is minimal.
  • the guarantee band is connected to the lower closure part via webs, the length of which corresponds at least approximately to the material thickness of the guarantee band.
  • FIGS. 1-5 show one and the same closure in different views, the guarantee band being present in FIGS. 1-4, the same being torn off in FIG. 5.
  • the closure consists of a lower part 1, a cap 2 and a hinge 3 pivotally connecting the two parts.
  • a guarantee band molded onto the lower part 1 is designated by 4.
  • the guarantee band 4 is located opposite the hinge 3 and extends halfway around the cap.
  • the guarantee band 4 is aligned symmetrically diametrically with respect to the hinge 3.
  • the height of the guarantee band 4 corresponds approximately to the height of the cap 2.
  • the upper edge of the cap 2 is rounded, and the curve 5 merges into the vertical, cylindrical wall of the cap only below the upper edge of the guarantee band.
  • a small upper edge area of the guarantee band 4 can thus be detected. This makes it possible to grasp one end of the guarantee band and tear it off in a radially downward direction. Another way to remove the guarantee tape 4 is to slide your thumb diagonally over the cap 2 away from the hinge 3 and to strip the guarantee tape 4 downwards.
  • FIGS. 2 and 5 shows the closure in the open position, in which the guarantee tape has already been removed and the trough 7 is clearly visible.
  • the pressure trough 7 is mounted in the vertical front wall of the cap 2.
  • a bead 8 remaining in the upper edge region of the cap 2 makes it easier to exert an upward force on the cap with the finger in order to open the closure.
  • Figures 6 to 8 show a solution to this problem.
  • the cap 2 there is a curved recess on the side as a recessed grip 9, which runs out into the surface of the cap 2. Due to its lateral arrangement, the recessed grip 9 is only partially covered by the guarantee tape 4 (FIG. 7).
  • the recessed grip 9, which can be clearly seen from above (FIG. 8), allows the guarantee band to be gripped behind with one finger, so that it is easy to tear off.
  • the outwardly inclined recess 9 also causes the guarantee band 4 to be pulled off radially downward.
  • the connecting webs 6 between the guarantee tape 4 and the lower part 1 can only be seen in the view from above.
  • connection between the guarantee band and cap can not only be made by webs.
  • the connection can also be made along the entire connection line and weakened accordingly by predetermined breaking points or perforations.
