Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dose nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a can according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Behälter mit einem derartigen Deckel ist in der DE-B 2704 m 461 gezeigt und beschrieben. Der Rand des unteren Teils des Deckels weist einen nach innen gerichteten ringförmigen Vorsprung auf, der einen nach außen gerichteten ringförmigen Vorsprung unterhalb des Rands der Behälteröffnung hintergreift. Der obere Teil des Deckels steht über ein Innengewinde mit einem Außengewinde am Hals des Behälters in Eingriff. Wird der Deckel abgeschraubt, dann wird die Sollbruchstelle in Form von Stegen zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Teil des Deckels zerstört, auf welche im wesentlichen eine Axialkraft wirkt. Vorteilhaft ist, daß ist, daß der Deckel maschinell auf den Behälter aufschraubbar ist.A container with such a lid is shown and described in DE-B 2704 m 461. The edge of the lower part of the lid has an inwardly directed annular projection which engages behind an outwardly directed annular projection below the edge of the container opening. The upper part of the lid engages with an external thread on the neck of the container via an internal thread. If the cover is unscrewed, the predetermined breaking point is destroyed in the form of webs between the upper and the lower part of the cover, on which essentially an axial force acts. It is advantageous that the lid can be screwed onto the container by machine.

Damit infolge der Axialkraft ein Zerstören der Stege stattfindet, müssen diese relativ dünn ausgebildet sein. Meist werden die Stege an nur einer Seite des Deckels zerstört, da die Axialkraft nicht gleichmäßig am Umfang des Deckels wirkt.So that the webs are destroyed as a result of the axial force, they must be made relatively thin. Usually, the webs on only one side of the cover are destroyed because the axial force does not act evenly on the circumference of the cover.

Gegenstand der US-A 3 901 404 ist eine durch eine deckelförmige Verschlußkappe verschlossene Flasche, die an ihrem Hals eine umlaufende keilförmige Verzahnung aufweist, welche in Eingriff steht mit einer umlaufenden Verzahnung am unteren Rand der Verschlußkappe. Infolge des Eingriffs der beiden Verzahnungen ist ein Abschrauben der Kappe erst möglich, wenn der als Abreißstreifen ausgebildete untere Rand der Kappe entfernt ist.The subject of US-A 3 901 404 is a bottle closed by a lid-shaped closure cap, which has a circumferential wedge-shaped toothing on its neck, which engages with a circumferential toothing on the lower edge of the closure cap. As a result of the engagement of the two toothings, the cap can only be unscrewed when the lower edge of the cap, which is designed as a tear-off strip, has been removed.

Es besteht die Aufgabe, die Dose mit maschinell aufsetzbarem Deckel so auszubilden, daß bei nachfüllbaren Dosen mit einem herausnehmbaren Streueinsatz der Streueinsatz und der Deckel in einem Arbeitsgang auf die Dose aufsetzbar sind, wobei der Deckel sowohl als Schraub- als auch als Stülpdeckel ausgebildet sein kann.It is the task of designing the can with a mechanically attachable lid so that, in the case of refillable cans with a removable sprinkling insert, the sprinkling insert and the lid can be placed on the can in one operation, the lid being designed both as a screw and as a slip lid .

Gelöst wird die vorgenannte Aufgabe mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.The aforementioned object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 3 und 4 geht die Dose 1 im Bereich ihrer Öffnung in einen Bördel 2 über, wodurch sich ein verjüngender Hals 3 bildet. Der Bördel 2 umfasst ausgehend vom sich verjüngenden Hals 3 einen etwa halbkreisförmigen Bereich, wodurch sich ein scharfkantiger etwa nach unten weisender Bördelrand 4 ergibt.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4, the can 1 merges into a flange 2 in the region of its opening, as a result of which a tapering neck 3 is formed. Starting from the tapering neck 3, the flange 2 comprises an approximately semicircular region, which results in a sharp-edged flange edge 4 pointing downward.

In die vom Bördel 2 gebildete Dosenöffnung ist ein Einsatz 5 eingesetzt. Dieser Einsatz 5 weist in seinem unteren Bereich eine ringförmige Vertiefung 6 auf, die in einen Ringwulst 7 übergeht. Die Form der ringförmigen Vertiefung 6 entspricht der Innenform des Bördels 2. Der Bereich des Einsatzes 5 oberhalb der Dosenöffnung ist mit einem Außengewinde 8 versehen. Der Einsatz 5 weist an seiner Oberseite mehrere Ausstreubohrungen 9 auf. Die Ringwulst 7 geht in eine nach innen gerichtete Keilfläche 18 über.An insert 5 is inserted into the can opening formed by the flange 2. This insert 5 has an annular recess 6 in its lower region, which merges into an annular bead 7. The shape of the annular recess 6 corresponds to the inner shape of the flange 2. The area of the insert 5 above the can opening is provided with an external thread 8. The insert 5 has a plurality of scattering bores 9 on its upper side. The annular bead 7 merges into an inward wedge surface 18.

Bei abgenommenem Deckel ist der Einsatz 5 infolge seiner Elastizität aus der Dosenöffnung herausnehmbar. Er kann in diese Dosenöffnung eingedrückt werden, was durch die Keilfläche 18 erleichtert wird. Es ist somit ein Nachfüllen der Dose 1 nach Erstgebrauch möglich.When the lid is removed, the insert 5 can be removed from the can opening due to its elasticity. It can be pressed into this can opening, which is facilitated by the wedge surface 18. It is therefore possible to refill can 1 after first use.

Der Deckel 10 ist mit einem Innengewinde 11 versehen, das in Eingriff mit dem Außengewinde 8 steht. Der untere Teil 12 des Deckels 10 weist innenseitig einen keilförmigen Querschnitt auf, bestehend aus einer Keilfläche 13 und einem sich daran anschließenden Hinterschnitt 14. Gegen den Hinterschnitt 14 liegt der scharfkantige Rand 4 des Bördels 2 an. Der keilförmige Bereich des unteren Teils 12 des Deckels 10 ragt in den Bereich zwischen dem Bördel 2 und dem sich verjüngenden Hals 3. An den Hinterschnitt 14 schließt sich an eine Sollbruchstelle 15. Diese Sollbruchstelle 15 wird gebildet durch geschwächte Wandungsbereiche der Deckelseitenwand. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der obere Teil der Seitenwand des Deckels 10 längsverlaufende Vorsprünge 16 auf, die den unteren Teil 12 über geschwächte Stege 15' halten, während zwischen den Stegen 15' Lücken 15" vorhanden sind.The cover 10 is provided with an internal thread 11 which is in engagement with the external thread 8. The lower part 12 of the cover 10 has a wedge-shaped cross section on the inside, consisting of a wedge surface 13 and an adjoining undercut 14. The sharp-edged edge 4 of the flange 2 bears against the undercut 14. The wedge-shaped area of the lower part 12 of the cover 10 projects into the area between the flange 2 and the tapered neck 3. The undercut 14 is connected to a predetermined breaking point 15. This predetermined breaking point 15 is formed by weakened wall areas of the cover side wall. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the upper part of the side wall of the cover 10 has longitudinal projections 16 which hold the lower part 12 over weakened webs 15 ', while gaps 15 "are present between the webs 15'.

Bei erstmals gefüllter Dose 1 wird der Einsatz 5 und der mit ihm verschraubte Deckel 10 auf die Dosenöffnung aufgesteckt, wobei der Ringwulst 7 den Bördel 2 und der Hinterschnitt 14 den Bördelrand 4 hintergreifen. Zum erstmaligen Gebrauch wird der Deckel 10 gedreht, wobei sich der Hinterschnitt 14 am Bördelrand 4 abstützt und somit das Mitdrehen des unteren Teils 12 des Deckels 10 verhindert wird. Dies führt zu einer Zerstörung der Sollbruchstelle 15, in dem die Stege 15' aufgetrennt werden. Der Deckel 10 kann somit abgeschraubt werden, während der abgetrennte untere Teil 12 an der Dose verbleibt.When the can 1 is filled for the first time, the insert 5 and the lid 10 screwed to it are pushed onto the can opening, the annular bead 7 engaging behind the flange 2 and the undercut 14 behind the flange edge 4. For the first use, the cover 10 is rotated, the undercut 14 being supported on the flanged edge 4 and thus preventing the lower part 12 of the cover 10 from rotating. This leads to the destruction of the predetermined breaking point 15, in which the webs 15 'are separated. The lid 10 can thus be unscrewed while the separated lower part 12 remains on the can.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 liegen die gleichen Verhältnisse vor wie bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 3 und 4 mit folgenden Ausnahmen: Der Deckel 10 ist als Stülpdeckel ausgeführt, der eine ringförmige Rille 11' aufweist, die mit einem umlaufenden Vorsprung 8' des Einsatzes 5 verrastet. Der Bördel 2 ist wie üblich ausgebildet und weist einen nach innen gerichteten Rand 4' auf. Der nach außen gerichtete Bereich des Börtels 2 ist mit einer Verzahnung 17 versehen, gegen die der untere Teil 12 des Deckels 10 anpresst. Hierbei kann die den Bördel 2 übergreifende ringförmige Ausnehmung 19 des Teils 12 ebenfalls mit einer Verzahnung versehen sein.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the same conditions are present as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 the exceptions: the lid 10 is designed as a slip lid, which has an annular groove 11 'which engages with a circumferential projection 8' of the insert 5. The flange 2 is designed as usual and has an inwardly directed edge 4 '. The outwardly directed region of the flange 2 is provided with a toothing 17 against which the lower part 12 of the cover 10 presses. Here, the annular recess 19 of the part 12 which overlaps the flange 2 can also be provided with a toothing.

Die Verzahnung 17 ggfs. in Verbindung mit der Verzahnung der ringförmigen Ausnehmung 19 verhindert, daß der untere Teil 12 des Deckels gegenüber dem Bördel 2 gedreht werden kann.The toothing 17, if necessary, in conjunction with the toothing of the annular recess 19 prevents the lower part 12 of the cover from being able to be rotated relative to the flange 2.

Zum Öffnen der Dose wird der obere Teil des Deckels 10 gegenüber der Dose 1 gedreht. Da der untere Teil 12 des Deckels diese Drehung nicht mitmacht, findet ein Abscheren der Stege 15' statt.To open the can, the upper part of the lid 10 is rotated relative to the can 1. Since the lower part 12 of the cover does not follow this rotation, the webs 15 'are sheared off.

Anstelle eines Stülpdeckels kann der Deckel wie in den Fig. 3 und 4 auch als Schraubdeckel mit Innengewinde 11 und Außengewinde 8 am Einsatz 5 ausgebildet sein.Instead of a slip lid, as in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid can also be designed as a screw lid with an internal thread 11 and an external thread 8 on the insert 5.

Verschiedene Ausführungsformen einer Verzahnung 17 sind in Fig. 5 gezeigt. Gemäß Fig. 5a besteht die Verzahnung aus keilförmigen Einkerbungen 17a. Nach Fig. 5b sind die Einkerbungen 17b keilförmig ausgebildet, die eine Drehung des Deckels 10 bzw. seines unteren Teils 12 im Uhrzeigersinn ermöglichen, nicht jedoch im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, bei der dann die Stege 15' abgeschert werden.Different embodiments of a toothing 17 are shown in FIG. 5. 5a, the toothing consists of wedge-shaped notches 17a. 5b, the notches 17b are wedge-shaped, which allow the cover 10 or its lower part 12 to be rotated clockwise, but not counterclockwise, in which case the webs 15 'are sheared off.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5c liegt eine Kombination der Bördelausbildungen nach den Fig. 1 und 2 sowie 3 und 4 vor. Der Bördelrand 4 ist ausgebildet wie in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt und erläutert und ist zusätzlich mit nach außen gebogenen Lappen 17c versehen, die die Verdrehsicherung bewirken. In Fig. 1b ist ein scharfer Bördelrand 4 mit einer Verzahnung 17a kombiniert. Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5d besteht die Verzahnung aus über den Bördel 2 axial verlaufenden Sicken 17d.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5c, there is a combination of the flare designs according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. The flanged edge 4 is designed as illustrated and explained in FIGS. 3 and 4 and is additionally provided with tabs 17c which are bent outwards and which ensure that it cannot be twisted. In Fig. 1b, a sharp flange 4 is combined with a toothing 17a. In the embodiment according to FIG. 5d, the toothing consists of beads 17d running axially over the flange 2.

Die Verzahnung in der ringförmigen Ausnehmung 19 kann zu den Verzahnungen 17 nach Fig. 5a bis d kongruent ausgebildet sein.The teeth in the annular recess 19 can be congruent to the teeth 17 of FIGS. 5a to d.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 6 findet anstelle einer Metalldose 1 mit Bördel 2 eine Kunststoffdose 1' Verwendung, die innen eine umlaufende Vertiefung 21 aufweist, in welche ein umlaufender Vorsprung 7' des Einsatzes 5 eingreift. Außerdem ist eine umlaufende Vertiefung 22 an der Außenseite der Dose 1' vorgesehen, die mit einer Verzahnung 17 versehen ist, und in welche ein nach innen weisender umlaufender Vorsprung 23 am unteren Teil 12 des Deckels 10 eingreift, wobei dieser Vorsprung 23 ebenfalls mit einer Verzahnung versehen ist, die in die Verzahnung 17 eingreift.In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, instead of a metal can 1 with a flange 2, a plastic can 1 'is used which has a circumferential recess 21 on the inside, into which a circumferential projection 7' of the insert 5 engages.
