Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen kindergesicherten Verschluß eines über den Deckel einer als Haushaltsgroßpackung dienenden Tragepackung straff zu spannenden Griffbandes, welches an einem Längsende mit je einem Niet an der Packungswand zu befestigen ist und im Bereich des Längsendes ein den Hals des Niets aufnehmendes Langloch zum Verschieben des Griffbandes zwecks Anhebens oder Straffziehens über der Fläche des Deckels aufweist.The invention relates to a child-resistant closure of a handle to be tensioned over the lid of a carrying package serving as a large household pack, which is to be fastened at one longitudinal end with a rivet to the pack wall and in the region of the longitudinal end a slot for receiving the neck of the rivet for moving the handle band for lifting or tightening over the surface of the lid.

Unter dem Begriff "Tragepackung" werden Großpackungen für den Haushaltsbedarf, wie Tragepakete, Rund-, Rechteck- und Quadrattrommeln. Eimer oder ähnliche Gebinde verstanden. Solche Gebinde werden mit einem aus Kunststoff bestehenden Griffband als Trageelement ausgerüstet. Das auch als Tragegriff bezeichnete Griffband soll bestimmte Konstruktionsmerkmale besitzen, die in ihrem Zusammenspiel mit zusätzlichen Sicherungselementen eine Kindersicherung ermöglichen. Einsatzgebiete solcher Packungen sind saure oder alkalische Produkte, wie z.B. Geschirrspülmaschinenreiniger.The term "carry pack" includes large packs for household needs, such as carry packs, round, rectangular and square drums. Understand buckets or similar containers. Such containers are equipped with a plastic grip tape as a carrying element. The grip tape, also known as a handle, is said to have certain design features which, in combination with additional securing elements, enable child safety. Areas of application for such packs are acidic or alkaline products, e.g. Dishwasher cleaner.

Kindersicherungen für kleine Gebinde, z.B. für Behälter von Arzneimitteln oder Haushaltschemikalien, die eine relativ kleine zu sichernde Entnahmeöffnung besitzen, sind bekannt. Diese Gebinde sind im Verschlußbereich wegen der Verwendung mechanisch stabilen Materials und/oder wegen des relativ kleinen Öffnungsquerschnitts formstabil.Child safety devices for small containers, for example for containers of pharmaceuticals or household chemicals, which have a relatively small removal opening to be secured, are known. These containers are in the closure area because of the use of mechanically stable material and / or because of the relatively small opening cross section dimensionally stable.

Zur Kindersicherung des Verschlusses von Großgebinden ist es aus den DE-OS 32 32 535 und 32 06 531 bekannt, durch einseitiges Spannen des Griffbandes über den Deckel des Behälters hinweg eine Kindersicherung zu schaffen, indem durch Druckbeaufschlagung des gespannten Bandes an einander gegenüberliegenden schmalen Streifen des Behälterumfangs der Behälterdeckel gegen die Behälteroberkante gepreßt wird. Die bekannten Konstruktionen sind aufwendig, das Trageband besteht aus zwei durch das jeweilige Sicherungselement zusammenzuhalten Teilen.For child safety of the closure of large containers, it is known from DE-OS 32 32 535 and 32 06 531 to create a child safety device by one-sided tensioning of the grip tape over the lid of the container, by pressurizing the tensioned tape on opposite narrow strips of the Container circumference of the container lid is pressed against the upper edge of the container. The known constructions are complex, the carrying strap consists of two parts to be held together by the respective securing element.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kindersicherung für einen einteiligen Tragegriff eines Haushaltsgroßgebindes mit großflächigem, d.h. im wesentlichen den gesamten Gebindequerschnitt überdeckendem Deckel zu schaffen, die auf einfache Weise vom Anwender zu montieren, zu arretieren und wieder zu öffnen sowie der Verkaufspackung als Beigabe zuzufügen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a child safety device for a one-piece handle of a large household container with a large, i.e. to create essentially the entire cover cross-section cover that is easy to assemble, lock and open again by the user and add to the sales package as an addition.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist bei der eingangs genannten Kindersicherung gekennzeichnet durch eine von dem dem Bandlängsende abgewandten Langlochende ausgehenden und in einem einen dem Niethalsquerschnitt entsprechenden Radius aufweisenden Arretierloch endende Schnittlinie im Griffband und durch eine über das Griffband zu schiebende Arretierschnalle mit schlitzförmigem Innenprofil mit dem Querschnitt des Griffbandes genau entsprechendem Querschnitt; mit einer an die von der angrenzenden Packungswand abgewandte Vorderseite einseitig angeformte, nach innen und in Richtung auf die Bandmitte offene, aber dort durch einen Schnappwulst unterbrochene Tasche mit nach Höhe, Breite sowie Tiefe dem Kopf des Niets entsprechender Innenabmessung; ferner mit in der an die Packungswand angrenzenden Innenseite der Schnalle vorgesehener, im Kern halbkreisförmiger, sich in Richtung auf die Bandmitte konisch erweiternder Aussparung passend zur Aufnahme des Niethalses; und mit an dem dem Bandlängsende zugewandten Ende der Schnalle vorgesehenem, in das schlitzf örmige Innenprofil und in das Langloch eingreifendem Haltenocken.The solution according to the invention is characterized in the case of the child restraint mentioned at the outset by an intersecting line in the grip tape starting from the elongated hole end facing away from the longitudinal band end and ending in a locking hole having a radius corresponding to the rivet neck cross-section, and by a locking buckle with a slit-shaped inner profile with the cross-section of which is to be pushed over the grip band Grip tape of exactly the same cross-section; with a pocket integrally formed on the front facing away from the adjacent packing wall, open inwards and towards the center of the band, but interrupted there by a snap bead with an internal dimension corresponding to the head of the rivet in terms of height, width and depth; furthermore with recess provided in the inside of the buckle adjoining the packing wall, in the core of a semicircular recess which widens conically in the direction of the band center, in order to accommodate the rivet neck; and with holding cams provided on the end of the buckle facing the longitudinal end of the band and engaging in the slot-shaped inner profile and in the elongated hole.

Die von dem Langloch zum Arretierloch führende Schnittlinie kann durch Schneiden, Stanzen oder dergleichen hergestellt werden. Das Material des Griffbandes soll so elatisch sein, daß der Niethals durch die Schnittlinie vom Langloch zum Arretierloch und umgekehrt hindurchzuzwängen ist. Es kommen vor allem strangextrudierte Griffbänder in Frage. Die Arretierschnalle selbst soll aus einem elastischen Kunststoffgehäuse bestehen, das einerseits mechanisch so steif ïst, daß die arretierte Schnalle nicht ohne weiteres von dem in die Tasche eingeschnappten Nietkopf abrutschen kann, die aber andererseits so flexibel ist, daß durch Zusammendrücken der Schnalle in Querrichtung des Schlitzes (quer zur Breite des Griffbandes) und durch Anheben der Tasche ein Lösen aus der Arretierung möglich ist.The cutting line leading from the elongated hole to the locking hole can be produced by cutting, punching or the like. The material of the grip tape should be so elastic that the rivet neck can be forced through the cutting line from the elongated hole to the locking hole and vice versa. Extruded grip tapes are particularly suitable. The locking buckle itself should consist of an elastic plastic housing that is mechanically so stiff on the one hand that the locked buckle cannot easily slide off the rivet head snapped into the pocket, but on the other hand is so flexible that it can be compressed in the transverse direction of the slot by compressing the buckle (across the width of the grip tape) and by lifting the bag it can be released from the lock.

Durch die Erfindung wird eine allseitig formschlüssige Arretierung von Schnalle und Griffband, Niet und Tragepaket und damit eine zuverlässige Kindersicherung unter Einsatz geringster Mittel geschaffen.The invention is a positive on all sides Locking of buckle and grip tape, rivet and carrying package and thus a reliable child lock created using the smallest means.

Die Handhabung, insbesondere das Lösen der Arretierschnalle aus der Arretierung mit dem Nietkopf wird erleichtert, wenn die Vorderseite der Tasche der Schnalle in Richtung auf die Bandmitte in Form einer trapezförmigen Sicherungsplatte über das angrenzende Ende der Arretierschnalle übersteht und wenn der Schnappwulst an der Rückseite der Sicherungsplatte mit nach innen übergreifender, leichter Hinterschneidung angeformt ist. Eine derart ausgebildete, im vorher angegebenen Maße zugleich mechanisch stabile und elastische Sicherungsplatte ermöglicht es, nach Einschnappen des Nietkopfes ausreichend fest zu arretieren und die Schnalle durch aufbiegendes Anheben der Platte aus der Arretierung zu lösen. In diesem Sinne soll der kleinste Radius der Aussparung der Innenseite der Schnalle genau dem Radius des Niethalses entsprechen. Wenn der Niethals in diese Endposition der Aussparung gelangt, soll der Nietkopf gerade von der Tasche umfaßt werden können.Handling, in particular releasing the locking buckle from the locking with the rivet head, is facilitated if the front of the pocket of the buckle protrudes towards the center of the band in the form of a trapezoidal securing plate over the adjacent end of the locking buckle and if the snap bead on the back of the securing plate is formed with a slight undercut that extends inwards. Such a design, in the previously specified dimensions at the same time mechanically stable and elastic locking plate makes it possible to lock sufficiently firmly after snapping in the rivet head and to release the buckle by lifting up the plate from the locking means. In this sense, the smallest radius of the recess on the inside of the buckle should correspond exactly to the radius of the rivet neck. When the rivet neck reaches this end position of the recess, the rivet head should be able to be gripped by the pocket.

Die Arretierung durch die erfindungsgemäße Schnalle wird besonders stabil, wenn die Ränder der Aussparung der Schnalle nach innen scharfkantig auslaufend ausgebildet werden und eine Stärke erhalten, die der Länge des Niethalses entspricht.The locking by the buckle according to the invention is particularly stable if the edges of the recess of the buckle are formed with sharp edges and have a thickness that corresponds to the length of the rivet neck.

Der auf dem dem Ende des Griffbandes zugewandten Ende der Schnalle vorgesehene Haltenocken dient dazu, die Schnalle auf dem Griffband auszurichten und ein Abrutschen vom Griffband im entarretierten Zustand auszuschließen. Wenn nämlich der Haltenocken bis etwa zur halben Schlitztiefe in das Innenprofil der Schnalle hineinragt und die Länge der Schnalle so gewählt wird, daß in jeder Position der Schnalle der Haltenocken in dem Langloch liegt, kann eine einmal auf das Griffband aufgesetzte Arretierschnalle nicht mehr versehentlich vom Band abfallen.The holding cams provided on the end of the buckle facing the end of the grip band serve to align the buckle on the grip band and to slide off to be excluded from the grip tape in the unlocked state. If the retaining cam protrudes into the inner profile of the buckle up to about half the slot depth and the length of the buckle is selected such that the retaining cam lies in the elongated hole in every position of the buckle, a locking buckle once placed on the grip tape can no longer be accidentally removed from the belt fall off.

Die Länge des Langlochs wird u.a. dadurch vorgegeben, daß das Griffband zum Tragen der Packung einen so großen Abstand von der Deckelfläche haben muß, daß man mit der Hand bequem zwischen gelockertem Griffband und Deckelfläche hindurchgreifen kann. Zugleich soll bei straff über den Deckel gespanntem Griffband - also in der Verschlußstellung - das Arretierloch des Griffbandes gerade mit dem zugehörigen Niet zur Deckung kommen, derart, daß in der zu arretier enden Stellung ein Anfassen oder seitliches Verschieben des Griffbandes nicht mehr möglich ist.The length of the elongated hole is predetermined, inter alia, by the fact that the grip tape for carrying the pack must be so far away from the lid surface that one can comfortably reach through between the loosened grip tape and the lid surface by hand. At the same time, when the grip tape is stretched tightly over the lid - that is to say in the closed position - the locking hole of the grip tape just comes to coincide with the associated rivet in such a way that it is no longer possible to touch or laterally move the grip tape in the position to be locked.

Die Zeichnung nimmt Bezug auf ein Tragepaket als Beispiel einer Tragepackung. Das in Fig. 1 insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Tragepaket besitzt eine dreiseitig verlaufende, teilweise aufgerissene Aufreißlasche 2 und eine Innenzarge 3 mit darüber weit überlappendem, an der hinteren Längsseite scharnierartig befestigtem Deckel 4. Ein am Tragepaket 1 befestigtes Griffband 5 mit Langloch 6 besitzt - beginnend am oberen Ende des Langlochs 6 - eine durchgestanzte Schnittlinie 7, die in einem ebenfalls gestanzten Arretierloch 8 mündet. Das gezeichnete Tragepaket 1 von Fig. 1 befindet sich in der Tragestellung, das als Tragegriff ausgebildete Griffband 5 ist locker und mit Abstand über der Oberseite des Deckels 4 beweglich.The drawing refers to a baby carrier as an example of a baby carrier. The carrying package, designated overall by 1 in FIG. 1, has a three-sided, partially torn tear-open tab 2 and an inner frame 3 with overlapping cover 4, which is hinged on the rear longitudinal side at the upper end of the elongated hole 6 - a punched-out cutting line 7, which ends in a locking hole 8 which is also punched. The illustrated carrying package 1 of FIG. 1 is in the carrying position, the handle strap 5 designed as a carrying handle is loose and movable at a distance above the top of the lid 4.

Die in Fig. 1 noch nicht vorgesehene Kindersicherung wird anhand der Fig. 2 bis 5 erläutert. Das gezeichnete Sicherungselement in Form einer Arretierschnalle 9 mit einem im wesentlichen schlitzförmigen Innenprofil 10 entspricht ziemlich genau der Dicke und Breite des Griffbandes 5. An die Vorderseite 11 der Schnalle 9 wird einseitig eine nach innen und oben offene Tasche 12 angeformt, deren innere Abmessungen mit Höhe, Breite und Tiefe denen des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Niets 13 relativ exakt entspricht. Die Taschenwand 14 kann über die Oberkante 15 der Schnalle 9 hinaus als trapezförmige Sicherungsplatte 16 verlängert werden. Es ist dabei günstig, an die Innenseite der Sicherungsplatte 16 einen radial angeordneten Schnappwulst 17 mit nach innen übergreifender, leichter Hinterschneidung anzuformen.The child safety device not yet provided in FIG. 1 is explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. The securing element shown in the form of a locking buckle 9 with an essentially slit-shaped inner profile 10 corresponds almost exactly to the thickness and width of the grip tape 5. To the front 11 of the buckle 9 a pocket 12 which is open on the inside and on the top is formed on one side, the internal dimensions of the height, width and depth of which correspond relatively exactly to those of the rivet 13 shown in FIG. The pocket wall 14 can be extended beyond the upper edge 15 of the buckle 9 as a trapezoidal securing plate 16. It is favorable here to form a radially arranged snap bead 17 with a slight undercut that overlaps on the inside of the securing plate 16.

In der Rückseite 18 der Schnalle 9 wird eine im Ursprung oder Kern halbkreisförmige sich nach oben bzw. außen konisch erweiternde Aussparung 19 vorgesehen, deren kleinster Radius dem Radius des Halses des Nietes 13 relativ genau entsprechen soll. Die Ränder 20 der Aussparung 19 werden vorteilhaft nach innen scharfkantig auslaufend ausgeführt.In the rear side 18 of the buckle 9, a recess 19 is provided which is semicircular in the origin or core and widens conically upwards or outwards, the smallest radius of which should correspond relatively exactly to the radius of the neck of the rivet 13. The edges 20 of the recess 19 are advantageously tapered inwards with sharp edges.

An der Unterkante 21 der Schnalle 9 wird ein Haltenocken 22 mittig angeformt, dessen Breite etwas kleiner als die Breite des Langlochs 6 am Griffband 5 sein soll. Der Haltenocken 22 soll bis etwa zur halben Tiefe in das schlitzförmige Innenprofil 10 der Schnalle 9 hineinragen. Die Schmalseiten 23 der Arretierschnalle 9 werden mit horizontal verlaufenden Greifrippen 24 ausgestattet.A holding cam 22 is integrally formed on the lower edge 21 of the buckle 9, the width of which should be slightly smaller than the width of the elongated hole 6 on the grip tape 5. The holding cam 22 should protrude to about half the depth into the slot-shaped inner profile 10 of the buckle 9. The narrow sides 23 of the locking buckle 9 are equipped with horizontally extending gripping ribs 24.

In Fig. 6 wird ein wiederverschlossenes und mit Hilfe der Arretierschnalle 9 kindergesichertes Tragepaket 1 perspektivisch dargestellt. Die Arretierschnalle 9 soll zur Vereinfachung der Bedienung mit den Aufschriften "AUF" und "ZU" und entsprechenden Pfeilen versehen werden.In Fig. 6 a reclosed and child-resistant with the help of the locking buckle 9 carrying package 1 is shown in perspective. The locking buckle 9 should be provided with the inscriptions "OPEN" and "CLOSE" and corresponding arrows to simplify operation.

Nach Entfernen der Aufreißlasche 2 und Öffnen des Deckels 4 entnimmt der Verbraucher die beigefügte Arretierschnalle 9.This child lock can be activated in the following ways:
After removing the pull tab 2 and opening the lid 4, the consumer removes the attached locking buckle 9.

Der Deckel 4 wird über den vorstehenden oberen Rand der Innenzarge hinweg wiederverschlossen. Dann wird der Tragegriff durch einseitiges Ziehen an dem Längsende des Griffbandes 5, welches die Schnittlinie 7 enthält, über den Deckel 4 - diesen anpressend - gespannt. Dabei gleitet der Niet 13 mit dem darunter befindlichen, nicht dargestellten Niethals zunächst widerstandlos über bzw. durch das Langloch 6. Bei weiterem Ziehen am Ende des Griffbandes 5 wird der Niethals durch die Schnittlinie 7 gezwängt, wobei das flexible Material des Griffbandes 5 seitlich gespreizt wird, bis der Niethals in das Arretierloch 8 einrastet.The cover 4 is closed again over the projecting upper edge of the inner frame. Then the handle is pulled by one-sided pulling on the longitudinal end of the grip tape 5, which contains the cutting line 7, over the lid 4 - pressing it. The rivet 13 with the rivet neck below it, not shown, initially glides without resistance over or through the elongated hole 6. When the end of the grip tape 5 is pulled further, the rivet neck is forced through the cutting line 7, the flexible material of the grip tape 5 being spread laterally until the rivet neck snaps into the locking hole 8.

In dieser Position liegt das Griffband 5 des Tragegriffs bereits stramm über dem Deckel 4. Der Anwender fädelt nun das Ende des Griffbandes 5 in die Arretierschnalle 9 ein, wobei die letztere mit der Tasche 12 nach außen bzw. nach oben liegen muß. Beim Vorziehen der Schnalle 9 längs des Griffbandes 5 ist bei Erreichen von deren Unterkante 21 ein geringer Widerstand zu überwinden, bis der Haltenocken 22 in das Langloch 6 einschnappt. In dieser Stellung ist die Schnalle 9 bereits unverlierbar auf dem Griffband 5 eingerastet, weil ein Ausklinken des Haltenockens 22 wegen seiner Form und Position im schlitzförmigen Innenprofil 10 auch bei Zurückschieben der Schnalle 9 ausgeschlossen ist.In this position, the handle 5 of the handle is already tight over the lid 4. The user now threads the end of the handle 5 into the locking buckle 9, the latter with the pocket 12 facing outwards or upwards. When pulling the buckle 9 along the grip tape 5, a slight resistance has to be overcome when the lower edge 21 is reached until the retaining cam 22 snaps into the elongated hole 6. In this position, the buckle 9 is already locked captive on the grip 5 because a release of the holding cam 22 due to its shape and position in the slot-shaped inner profile 10 is excluded even when the buckle 9 is pushed back.

Bei weiterem Nach-oben-Schieben der Schnalle 9 gleitet die Sicherungsplatte 16 über den Niet 13 hinweg bis der Schnappwulst 17 über dem Niet 13 einrastet. Gleichzeitig schieben sich die scharfkantigen Ränder 20 zwischen die Hinterseite des Griffbandes 5 und die Außenwand des Tragepaketes 1. Diese Klemmung wird bewirkt im unmittelbaren Bereich des Niethalses, wo eine gewisse Anpressung des Tragegriffs an die Wand des Tragepakets durch den Niet 13 besteht. Durch Anpassen von Griffbanddicke bzw. Länge des Niethalses, Form und Größe sowie Anordnung der Aussparung 19 in Bezug auf die Tasche 12 wird erreicht, daß das Griffband 5 etwa in Höhe der Schnittlinie 7 allseitig fest umschlungen wird. Der im Arretierloch 8 eingerastete Niethals kann auch durch erhebliche Zugbeanspruchung des Griffbandes 5 in vertikaler Richtung 25 (Fig. 6) nicht mehr gelockert werden.When the buckle 9 is pushed further upwards, the securing plate 16 slides over the rivet 13 until the snap bead 17 engages over the rivet 13. At the same time, the sharp-edged edges 20 slide between the rear side of the grip tape 5 and the outer wall of the carrying package 1. This clamping is brought about in the immediate area of the rivet neck, where there is a certain amount of pressure on the carrying handle against the wall of the carrying package by the rivet 13. By adjusting the grip tape thickness or length of the rivet neck, shape and size as well as the arrangement of the recess 19 in relation to the pocket 12, it is achieved that the grip tape 5 is wrapped tightly on all sides at about the height of the cutting line 7. The rivet neck engaged in the locking hole 8 can no longer be loosened even in the vertical direction 25 (FIG. 6) due to considerable tensile stress on the grip tape 5.

Die allseitig formschlüssige Arretierung von Schnalle und Griffband, Niet und Tragepaket ergibt eine zuverlässige Kindersicherung unter Einsatz geringster Mittel. Wenn in diesem Fall ein Tragepaket 1 nach Fig. 1 zu sichern ist, muß die Spannung des Griffbandes 5 über den Deckel 4 hinweg keineswegs mit äußerstem Krafteinsatz erfolgen, weil bedingt durch die relativ weite Überlappung von Deckel 4 und Innenzarge 3, von vorzugsweise 25 bis 30 mm, ausreichend sicher zu vermeiden ist, daß eine Kinderhand in die Verpackung hineinreichen kann.The all-round positive locking of the buckle and grip tape, rivet and carrying package results in reliable child safety using the least possible means. If, in this case, a carrying package 1 according to FIG. 1 is to be secured, the tension of the grip tape 5 over the cover 4 does not have to be exerted with extreme force, because due to the relatively wide overlap of cover 4 and inner frame 3, preferably from 25 to 30 mm, is to be avoided with sufficient certainty, that a child's hand can reach into the packaging.

Das Entriegeln der Kindersicherung wird auf folgende, verblüffend einfache Weise, die jedoch von Kindern im gefährdeten Alter nicht nachvollzogen werden kann, ausgeführt:
Mit einer Hand, in der Regel mit Daumen und Zeigefinger, erfaßt die Bedienungsperson die Schnalle 9 seitlich, d.h. an den Schmalseiten 23, im Bereich der Greifrippen 24 und zieht die Schnalle 9 nach unten, während gleichzeitig mit der anderen Hand, z.B. mit dem Daumennagel oder einem anderen Hilfsmittel, die Sicherungsplatte 16 leicht angehoben wird.Unlocking the child lock is carried out in the following, astonishingly simple way, which, however, cannot be understood by children of the vulnerable age:
With one hand, usually with thumb and forefinger, the operator grasps the buckle 9 laterally, ie on the narrow sides 23, in the area of the gripping ribs 24 and pulls the buckle 9 downwards, while at the same time with the other hand, for example with the thumbnail or other means, the locking plate 16 is raised slightly.

Durch weiteres Hinunterschieben der Arretierschnalle 9 bis zum Anschlag des Haltenockens 22 am unteren Ende des Langlochs 6 des Griffbandes 5 wird die Schnittlinie 7 wieder freigegeben, so daß der Niethals aus dem Arretierloch 8 ebenfalls bis in das Langloch 6 zurückgleiten kann und der Tragegriff wieder gelockert in Trage- bzw. Öffnungsstellung nach Fig. 1 steht.By further pushing down the locking buckle 9 until the stop cam 22 stops at the lower end of the elongated hole 6 of the grip tape 5, the cutting line 7 is released again, so that the rivet neck can also slide back out of the locking hole 8 into the elongated hole 6 and the handle is loosened again Carrying or opening position according to Fig. 1 is.
