Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zweikomponentenflasche gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a two-component bottle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Taillenflasche dieser Art ist durch die CH-PS 628 585 bekannt. Das Herausdrücken des Stopfens geschieht dort über eine mit ihrem flaschenseitigen Ende bis vor diesen reichende Stange. Letztere sitzt betätigungszugänglich in einer mit einem Stopfenvorsprung in den Hals der Taillenflasche eingesteckten Flaschenverschlußkappe. Diese ist mit einer Metallkapsel gesichert, die im Zentrum deckenseitig freigelassen ist zum Durchtritt eines die Flaschenverschlußkappenoberseite überragenden, zusammendrückbaren Buchsenabschnitts. Der Buchsenabschnitt ist harmonikaartig gestaltet und faßt reibungsschlüssig den in seine Höhlung eingesteckten oberen Endabschnitt des Stabes. Ein im Abstand zum zusammendrückbaren Buchsenabschnitt gehaltenes Druckstück kann nach Freigabe in einem führenden Unterteil axial in Richtung des Stopfens verlagert werden. Um zufälliges Auslösen zu vermeiden, steht das Druckstück in Bajonettschlitzverbindung zum genannten Teil. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ist nicht fur fertigungsaufwendig, sondern auch in hohem Maße gebrauchsnachteilig. Im Hinblick auf das erstgenannte Kriterium bedarf es des Einsatzes speziellen Materiales zur Bildung des axial elastischen bzw. zusammendrückbaren Buchsenabschnitts. Außerdem sitzt die Stange dezentral. Hieraus ergibt sich die Gefahr eines Verkippens des Stopfens, was sein Ausdrücken erschwert. Schließlich fehlt es an einer exakten Stangen-Ausrichtung.A waist bottle of this type is known from CH-PS 628 585. The stopper is pressed out there via a rod that reaches its end on the bottle side in front of it. The latter sits in an accessible manner in a bottle closure cap which is inserted into the neck of the waist bottle with a stopper projection. This is secured with a metal capsule, which is left blank on the ceiling side in the center for the passage of a compressible bushing section projecting beyond the bottle cap top. The bushing section is designed like a harmonica and frictionally engages the upper end section of the rod inserted into its cavity. A pressure piece held at a distance from the compressible bushing section can be axially displaced in the direction of the stopper after release in a leading lower part. In order to avoid accidental triggering, the pressure piece is in bayonet slot connection to the named part. Such an embodiment is not expensive to manufacture, but is also highly disadvantageous in use. With regard to the first-mentioned criterion, the use of special material is required to form the axially elastic or compressible bushing section. In addition, the bar sits decentrally. This creates the risk of the plug tipping over, making it difficult to express it. After all, there is no exact rod alignment.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Taillenflasche in herstellungstechnisch einfacher, gebrauchsvorteilhafter Weise so auszubilden, daß bei güntigerer Krafteinleitung ein verkippungsfreies Aufheben des kammerteilenden Stopfenverschlusses erreicht wird.The object of the invention is to design a generic waist bottle in a technically simple, advantageous manner in such a way that, with less force, a tilt-free removal of the chamber-dividing stopper closure is achieved.

Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Taillenflasche.The subclaims are advantageous developments of the waist bottle according to the invention.

Zufolge solcher Ausgestaltung ist die Gebrauchsfunktion einer gattungsgemäßen Taillenflasche wesentlich verbessert; vor allem ergibt sich ein völlig verkippungsfreies Ausdrücken des Stopfens aus seiner die beiden Komponenten separierenden Schließstellung. Die baulichen Mittel sind einfach und zweckmäßig. So ist so vorgegangen, daß Stange und Stopfen miteinander verbunden sind, die mit Schraubgewinde aufsitzende Flaschenverschlußkappe eine Stoßschulter besitzt, welche in Grundstellung auf dem Stirnende der Verbindungsstange aufliegt, und durch eine schräg auswärts abwärts verlaufende Flanke zum justierenden bzw. zentrierenden Aufgleiten des Stirnendes der Verbindungsstange beim Aufbringen der Flaschenverschlußkappe. Im fertigungstechnischer Hinsicht ist die erwähnte Einteiligkeit günstig, ebenso in montage- und gebrauchstechnischer Hinsicht. Es kann nicht, wie beim Stand der Technik, vorkommen, daß die lose und somit unkontrollierte Stopfenscheibe sperrend in den Ausgangsweg tritt. Nutzen einer Schraubkappe ist es, daß durch zufälliges Hinfallen der Taillenflasche keinerlei axiale Auslösekräfte aufkommen können. Das Gewinde stützt vielmehr axial ab. So ist es nicht möglich, daß unbemerkt eine Vermischung der Komponenten stattfindet. Die Gebrauchssicherheit ist demzufolge unter Beteiligung einfacher, von Hause aus vorhandener Mittel vergrößert. In baulich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung sind weiter die Flanken von einem kegelstumpfförmigen, der Stoßschulter vorge lagerten Zwischenabschnitt der Flaschenverschlußkappe geformt. Der Zwischenabschnitt bildet so praktisch einen Trichter. Andererseits erweist es sich ebenfalls als Vorteilhaft, wenn die Flanken von den Kopfflächen einzelner Nocken der Verbindungsstange gebildet sind, auf weiche ein die Stoßschulter überragender Kragen der Verschlußkappe zentrierend aufgleitet. Zur Erzielung eines genügend großen, strömungstechnisch günstigen Durchflußquerschnittes einerseits und aus Gründen der Gebrauchsstabilität und der Materialersparnis andererseits erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß die Verbindungsstange im Querschnitt kreuzförmig gestaltet ist. Weiter bringt die Erfindung in Vorschlag, daß in herausgedrückter Stopfenstellung die Außenflanken des Kreuzquerschnittes in Haftsitzstellung zur Taillenringinnenfläche treten. Der Stopfenquerschnitt formt dabei im Hinblick auf die im flaschenverschlußkappenseitigen Raum befindliche Komponente eine das Verteilen und Mischen fördernde Prallwand. Weiter erweist es sich als günstig, daß die Verbindungsttange rohrförmig gestaltet ist mit den Stopfen benachbarten Mantelwanddurchbrechungen, im Bereich welcher rohrwandseitige Anschläge liegen, die in herausgedrückter Stopfenstellung auf der der Flaschenverschlußkappe zugekehrten Taillenflanke aufsitzen. Solche Anschläge definieren den optimalen Rest-Verlagerungshub im Hinblick auf den Durchtritt der Flüssigkeit und das Ausweichen der verdängten Luft des unteren Raumes. Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Wurzelbereich des Zwischenabschnittes in Dichtstellung zum Flaschenhals tritt. Weiter erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß die Außenfläche des Kragens in Dichtstellung zum Flaschenhals trittt. Die auch in diesem Zusammenhang nützlichen, oben erläuterten Nocken können dabei so bemessen sein, daß sie einen leichten radial auswärts gerichteten Druck auf den Kragen ausüben, was die dichtende Anlage der korrespondierenden Ringwandfläche begünstigt. Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Wurzelbereich des Zwischenabschnittes in Dichtstellung zum Flaschenhals tritt. Überdies wird vorgeschlagen, daß sich an den Wurzelbereich bzw. den Kragen eine Dicht-Mantelfläche anschließt, deren Länge mindestens dem Rest-Aufschraub hub der Flaschenverschlußkappe entspricht. Endlich ist es günstig, daß die Stoßfläche von den Stirnflächen innenseitiger Längsrippen der Flaschenverschlußkappe gebildet ist. Solche Rippen versteifen den dortigen Kappenbereich und auch den Kragen, in dem sie anteilig wurzeln. Endlich besteht noch ein vorteilhaftes Merkmal darin, daß das Kopfende der Dicht-Mantelfläche in eine auswärts gerichtete Sitzringfläche übergeht, auf welche der Deckel einer Entnahmeöffnung der Flaschenverschlußkappe aufsitzt, welcher aufgeschraubt ist auf einen von der Stoßschulter ausgehenden Rohransatz der Flaschenverschlußkappe, welche Deckel mit einem Dichtring in den Rohransatz eingreift.As a result of such a configuration, the use function of a generic waist bottle is significantly improved; above all, there is a completely tilt-free pressing of the stopper from its closed position, which separates the two components. The structural means are simple and functional. The procedure is such that the rod and stopper are connected to each other, the screw cap bottle cap has a butt shoulder, which rests on the front end of the connecting rod in the basic position, and by an obliquely downward flank for adjusting or centering sliding of the front end of the connecting rod when applying the bottle cap. In terms of manufacturing technology, the one-piece design mentioned is favorable, and also in terms of assembly and use technology. It cannot happen, as in the prior art, that the loose and thus uncontrolled plug washer blocks in the exit path. The advantage of a screw cap is that no accidental axial forces can arise due to the waist bottle falling accidentally. The thread is rather axially supported. It is therefore not possible for the components to mix unnoticed. The safety of use is consequently increased with the participation of simple means that are available from the home. In a structurally advantageous embodiment, the flanks are further shaped by a frustoconical, pre-stored intermediate portion of the bottle cap. The intermediate section practically forms a funnel. On the other hand, it also proves to be advantageous if the flanks are formed by the top surfaces of individual cams of the connecting rod, onto which a collar of the closure cap, projecting beyond the butt shoulder, slides centering. To achieve a sufficiently large, flow-technically favorable flow cross-section on the one hand and for reasons of stability in use and material savings on the other hand, it proves to be advantageous that the connecting rod has a cross-shaped cross section. The invention further proposes that the outer flanks of the cross-section come into the seated position to the inner surface of the waist ring when the plug is pushed out. The cross section of the stopper forms a baffle that promotes distribution and mixing with regard to the component located in the bottle cap side. Furthermore, it proves to be favorable that the connecting rod is of tubular design with openings adjacent to the plug wall openings, in the region of the pipe wall-side stops, which, when the plug is pushed out, are seated on the waist flank facing the bottle cap. Such stops define the optimal residual displacement stroke with regard to the passage of the liquid and the evacuation of the displaced air in the lower space. It is also advantageous that the root region of the intermediate section comes into the sealing position with respect to the bottle neck. It also proves advantageous that the outer surface of the collar comes into the sealing position with the bottle neck. The cams explained above, which are also useful in this context, can be dimensioned such that they exert a slight radially outward pressure on the collar, which favors the sealing contact of the corresponding ring wall surface. It is also advantageous that the root region of the intermediate section comes into the sealing position with respect to the bottle neck. In addition, it is proposed that a sealing outer surface adjoins the root region or the collar, the length of which corresponds at least to the remaining screw-on stroke of the bottle cap. Finally, it is favorable that the abutting surface is formed by the end faces of the inside longitudinal ribs of the bottle cap. Such ribs stiffen the cap area there and also the collar in which they are partly rooted. Finally, there is an advantageous feature in that the head end of the sealing surface merges into an outward-facing seat ring surface, on which the cover egg ner removal opening of the bottle cap sits, which is screwed onto a tube shoulder of the bottle cap, which engages with the sealing shoulder, which engages the lid with a sealing ring in the tube neck.

Die bspw. als Blasbehältnis erstellte Taillenflasche F bildet eine sogenannte Zwei-Komponenten-Packung. Sie ist dazu in zwei etwa volumengleiche Räume A und B aufgeteilt. Im Bereich der wespentaillenartigen Einschnürung, bezeichnet als Taillenebene E-E, trennt ein Stopfen 1 die beiden Räume A und B voneinander. Die Einschnürungsöffnung liegt im Zentrum. Ihr Durchmesser entspricht etwa einem Drittel des Flaschendurchmessers. Auf die Flaschenlänge entfällt etwa der dreifache Flaschendurchmesser.The waist bottle F created, for example, as a blown container forms a so-called two-component pack. For this purpose, it is divided into two rooms A and B of approximately the same volume. In the area of the wasp waist-like constriction, referred to as the waist level E-E, a stopper 1 separates the two rooms A and B. The constriction opening is in the center. Their diameter corresponds to about a third of the bottle diameter. The bottle length is about three times the bottle diameter.

Durch Herausdrücken des Stopfens 1 aus dem Bereich der Taillenebene E-E, was unter Zuhilfenahme einer Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 geschieht, sind die beiden Räume bzw. die darin untergebrachten Substanzen miteinander verbindbar.The two spaces or the substances accommodated therein can be connected to one another by pushing the stopper 1 out of the region of the waist level E-E, which is done with the aid of a bottle cap 2.

Der Stopfen 1 steht in Stangenverbindung mit der Schraubgewinde 3 aufweisenden Flaschenverschlußkappe 2.The stopper 1 is in rod connection with the screw thread 3 having a bottle cap 2.

Der Stopfen ist mit der Verbindungsstange 4 einstückig. Letztere weist gemäß den Fig. 1, 2 und 5 kreuzförmigen Querschnitt auf. In herausgedrückter Stopfenstellung (vergl. Fig. 2), treten die Außenflanken 4' des Kreuzquerschnittes in Haftsitzstellung zur Tallienringinnenfläche 5. Der Stopfen 1 ragt frei in den Raum B hinein.The plug is in one piece with the connecting rod 4. The latter has a cross-shaped cross-section according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5. In the pushed-out stopper position (cf. FIG. 2), the outer flanks 4 'of the cross-section come into the seated position towards the inner surface of the tallien ring 5. The stopper 1 projects freely into space B.

Auch gemäß Variante Fig. 3 und 4 ist eine reibungsschlüssige Stopfenstellung ebenfalls in herausgedrückter Lage realisiert. Dort besteht die Verbindungsstange 4 aus einem rohrförmigen Bauteil. Unmittelbar oberhalb des Stopfens 1 bildet die rohrförmige Verbindungsstange 4 zum Durchtritt der flaschenverschlußkappenseitigen Komponente Mantelwanddurchbrechungen 6 aus. Letztere sind von längsgerichteten Stegen 7 gebildet, durch deren Winkelabstand die Durchbrechungen verbleiben. Im Grunde kann auch bezüglich dieser Ausgestaltung von einer kreuzförmigen Ausgestaltung gesprochen werden, da vier solcher Stege 7 innenseitig der rohrförmigen Verbindungsstange 4 angeformt sind. Die unteren Stegenden wurzeln in der Oberseite des Stopfens 1; die oberen Enden sind am Rohrende innenseitig angebunden. Die freigespannten Stege bringen eine günstigst nutzbare Flexibilität im Hinblick auf die realisierte Haftsitzstellung zur Taillenring-Innenfläche 5, welche mit den Au- ßenfianken 4' der Stege 7 zusammenwirkt.3 and 4, a frictional plug position is also realized in the pressed-out position. There, the connecting rod 4 consists of a tubular component. Immediately above the stopper 1, the tubular connecting rod 4 forms jacket wall openings 6 for the passage of the bottle cap component. The latter are formed by longitudinal webs 7, the openings of which remain through their angular spacing. Basically, this configuration can also be referred to as a cross-shaped configuration, since four such webs 7 are formed on the inside of the tubular connecting rod 4. The lower web ends are rooted in the top of the plug 1; the upper ends are connected on the inside at the end of the pipe. The free-stretched webs bring the most favorable usable flexibility with regard to the realized adhesive seat position to the waist ring inner surface 5, which interacts with the outer flanks 4 'of the webs 7.

Außenseitig sind den Stegen 7 in der Ebene der Rohrwandung verlaufende Anschläge 8 angeformt. Die Anschläge 8 definieren die herausgedrückte Stopfenendstellung, wie sie sich aus Fig. 4 ergibt. Das untere Ende der Anschläge 8 trifft auf die der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 zugekehrte Taillenflanke 9. Bezüglich der Anschläge liegt eine Länge zugrunde, die in der Stopfenendstellung zu hälftigen Offnungsquerschnitten beiderseits der Taillenring- Innenfläche 5 führt. Auch beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 1 und 3 kann eine entsprechende Anschlagbegrenzung realisiert sein durch Anformen solcher Anschläge an den Außenflanken 4' des Kreuzquerschnitts.On the outside, the webs 7 are formed with stops 8 extending in the plane of the tube wall. The stops 8 define the end position of the plug pushed out, as can be seen in FIG. 4. The lower end of the stops 8 meets the waist flank 9 facing the bottle closure cap 2. With regard to the stops, there is a length which, in the stopper position, leads to halved opening cross sections on both sides of the inner surface 5 of the waist ring. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 3, a corresponding stop limitation can also be realized by molding such stops on the outer flanks 4 ′ of the cross section.

Bei allen Varianten ist der Stopfen 1 topfförmig gestaltet mit in den unteren Raum B gerichteter Topfhöhlung. Der äußere Topfrand ist gefast, dies im Interesse einer Zentrierung des Stopfens zusätzlich zu der aus der Taillenflanke zu gewinnenden Zentrierung.In all variants, the stopper 1 is pot-shaped with a pot cavity directed into the lower space B. The outer edge of the pot is chamfered, in the interest of centering the stopper in addition to the centering to be gained from the waist flank.

Das andere Ende der Verbindungsstange 4 wirkt mit einer Stoßschulter St der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 zusammen. Die Stoßschulter St legt sich auf das freie Stirnende 4" der Verbindungsstange 4. Auch in diesem Bereich erfolgt ein Zentrieren dieser Verbindungsstange 4. Gemäß den Varianten Fig. 1, 2 und 5 bildet die Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 dazu eine schräg auswärts sowie abwärts verlaufende Flanke 10 aus zum justierenden bzw. zentrierenden Aufgleiten des Stirnendes 4" der Verbindungsstange 4 beim Aufbringen der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2. Geformt ist die Flanke 10 von einem kegelstumpfförmigen, einen Fangtrichter formenden, der Stoßschulter St vorgelagerten Zwischenabschnitt 11 der Flaschenverschlußkappe. Oberseitig der Stoßschulter St setzt sich der Zwischenabschnitt 11 in ein zentrales, konisch zulaufendes Mündungsstück 12 fort, welches die Oberseite der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 etwa um deren halbe Höhe überragt. Geschlossen ist die Mundstücköffnung 12 durch ein über eine Sollbruchstelle angebundenes Verschlußstück 13. Dieses kann zur Ausgabe der Mischung einfach abgezogen werden und dazu eine nicht näher dargestellte, vergrößerte Anfassung besitzen.The other end of the connecting rod 4 interacts with a butt shoulder St of the bottle cap 2. The butt shoulder St lies on the free end 4 "of the connecting rod 4. This connecting rod 4 is also centered in this area. According to the variants FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the bottle cap 2 forms an obliquely outward and downward flank 10 for this purpose for the adjusting or centering sliding of the front end 4 "of the connecting rod 4 when the bottle cap 2 is attached. The flank 10 is formed by a truncated cone-shaped intermediate section 11 of the bottle cap, which forms a collecting funnel and precedes the shoulder St. On the top of the butt shoulder St, the intermediate section 11 continues into a central, conically tapering mouthpiece 12, which projects over the top of the bottle cap 2 by about half its height. The mouthpiece opening 12 is closed by a closure piece 13 connected via a predetermined breaking point. This can simply be pulled off to dispense the mixture and, for this purpose, have an enlarged face (not shown).

Der Wurzelbereich 14 des von einer deckenseitigen Einziehung der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 gebildeten Zwischenabschnitts 11 tritt bereits in einer Teil-Aufschraubstellung dieser Verschlußkappe in Dichtstellung zur Innenfläche des Flaschenhalses 15. Der zylindrisch nach oben bis hin zur Decke der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 verlaufende Wurzeibereich 14 bildet auch mit seinem restlichen Wandungsabschnitt eine Dicht-Mantelfläche 14'. Deren Länge entspricht mindestens dem Rest-Aufschraubhub y dieser Flaschenverschlußkappe 2.The root region 14 of the intermediate section 11 formed by a neck-in retraction of the bottle closure cap 2 already comes into a partial screw-on position of this closure cap in the sealing position with respect to the inner surface of the bottle neck 15. The root region 14, which extends cylindrically up to the ceiling of the bottle closure cap 2, also forms with its remainder Wall section a sealing jacket surface 14 '. Their length corresponds at least to the remaining screw-on stroke y of this bottle cap 2.

Was die Ausgestaltung der Dicht-Mantelfläche 14' gemäß Variante Fig. 3 und 4 betrifft, so wird diese dort von einem der Decke der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 angeformten, zylindrischen Kragen 15 gebildet. Das hier stumpfer gestaltete Mündungsstück 12 wurzelt im Ubergangsbereich zwischen Decke und dem besagten Kragen 16. Er verläuft konzentrisch zur Verschlußkappenwandung und erstreckt sich nur über eine Teilhöhe derselben (etwa ein Drittel).As far as the configuration of the sealing jacket surface 14 'according to variant FIGS. 3 and 4 is concerned, the se there formed from one of the ceiling of the bottle cap 2, cylindrical collar 15. The mouthpiece 12, which is more blunt here, is rooted in the transition area between the ceiling and said collar 16. It runs concentrically to the closure cap wall and extends only over a partial height of the same (about a third).

Was die das Herausdrücken des Stopfens 1 veranlassenden Mittel angeht, so ergibt sich in dieser Variante auch eine leichte Abwandlung gegenüber der vorbeschriebenen Variante, und zwar dahingehend, daß die Stoßfläche St nun von den nach unten weisenden, senkrecht zur Längsmittelachse x-x der Taillenflasche F ausgerichteten Stirnflächen innenseitig der Flaschenverschlußkappe angeformter Längsrippen 17 gebildet ist. Insgesamt sind vier solcher Längsrippen 17 berucksichtigt. Sie erstrecken sich in gleichem Winkelabstand zueinander, wurzeln einerseits innenseitig des Kragens 16 und reichen andererseits oberhalb noch bis in den Bereich des Mündungsstückes 12. Die entsprechende in die Tiefe gehende Verrippung stabilisiert die diesbezügliche Zone. Unterseitig enden die genannten Stirnflächen der Längsrippen 17 in einem so großen Abstand zum dem Raum A zugewandten Kragenende, daß dort noch ein genügender axialer Übergriffbereich zwischen Kragen 16 und der Verbindungsstange 4 ver bleibt. Die Überlappungszone liegt auf Höhe des die eigentliche Dichtfläche bildenden, eingezogenen Endabschnitts des Flaschenhalses.As far as the means for pushing out the stopper 1 are concerned, this variant also results in a slight modification compared to the variant described above, namely in that the butting surface St now faces downward, perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis xx of the waist bottle F formed on the inside of the bottle cap is formed longitudinal ribs 17. A total of four such longitudinal ribs 17 are taken into account. They extend at the same angular distance from one another, are rooted on the inside of the collar 16 on the one hand, and on the other hand extend above into the area of the mouthpiece 12. The corresponding ribbing going in depth stabilizes the relevant zone. On the underside, the end faces of the longitudinal ribs 17 end at a distance from the collar end facing the space A that there is still a sufficient axial overlap area between the collar 16 and the connecting rod 4. The overlap zone lies at the level of the retracted end section of the bottle neck which forms the actual sealing surface.

Diese Zone ist hier zur Zentrierung genutzt entsprechend der Funktion der Flanke 10 gemäß Fig. 1.This zone is used for centering here in accordance with the function of the edge 10 according to FIG.

Hier sind diese Flanken 10 jedoch von entsprechend geschrägten Kopfflächen einzelner Nocken 18 der hier rohrförmigen Verbindungsstange 4 gebildet. Diese auch als Distanzstücke wirkenden Nocken 18 sitzen auf der Mantelfläche der Verbindungsstange 4; sie sind winkelgleich und in Viereranordnung vorgesehen. Bei Schraubzuordnung der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 gleitet der die Schulter St überragende Abschnitt des Kragens 17 auf das obere Stirnende 4" der Verbindungsstange 4 auf. Zwischen den Nocken 18 verbleiben Durchtrittsspalte.Here, however, these flanks 10 are formed by correspondingly beveled head surfaces of individual cams 18 of the tubular connecting rod 4 here. These also act as spacers cams 18 sit on the outer surface of the connecting rod 4; they are at the same angle and are arranged in a four-way arrangement. When the bottle cap 2 is screwed together, the section of the collar 17 projecting over the shoulder St slides onto the upper end 4 "of the connecting rod 4. Gaps remain between the cams 18.

Da der untere äußere Rand des Kragens 17 gefast bzw. kegelstumpfförmig abgeschrägt ist, ergibt sich eine entsprechend letzte Einienkbzw. Zentrierbewegung auch gegenüber dem Flaschenhals. 15. Die Außenfläche des Kragens 17 tritt in Dichtstellung zu diesem Flaschenhals 15. Das Gegengewinde für das Schraubgewinde 3 der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 ist mit 19 bezeichnet.Since the lower outer edge of the collar 17 is chamfered or beveled in the shape of a truncated cone, there is a corresponding last last engagement Centering movement also towards the bottle neck. 15. The outer surface of the collar 17 comes into sealing position with this bottle neck 15. The counter thread for the screw thread 3 of the bottle cap 2 is designated by 19.

Dem Flaschenhals 15 ist außenseitig, etwa im Rücken seiner Dichtfläche eine horizontale Ringrippe 20 angeformt. Letztere erstreckt sich somit im Endbereich des Flaschenhalses und wirkt mit einer Gegenrippe 21 an der Innenwand der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 zusammen. Die Gegenrippe 21 überspringt rastartig gleich zu Beginn des Schraubkontaktes die Ringrippe 20. Es liegt dann die Stellung gemäß den Fig. 1 und 3 vor, also eine Aufbewahrungsstellung, in der das Abschrauben der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 gegen einen deutlichen Widerstand stattfindet bzw. bei steileren Flanken gar nicht mehr möglich ist. In dieser Stellung liegt auch bereits eine vollständige Abdichtung des Raumes A gegenüber außen vor und die Zentrierung der Verbindungsstange 4 ist bereits erfolgt.A horizontal ring rib 20 is formed on the outside of the bottle neck 15, for example in the back of its sealing surface. The latter thus extends in the end region of the bottle neck and interacts with a counter rib 21 on the inner wall of the bottle cap 2. The counter rib 21 jumps over the ring rib 20 at the beginning of the screw contact. There is then the position according to FIGS. 1 and 3, i.e. a storage position in which the bottle cap 2 is unscrewed against a clear resistance or even on steeper flanks is no longer possible. In this position there is already a complete sealing of the space A from the outside and the centering of the connecting rod 4 has already taken place.

Zur Aktivierung der Komponenten bedarf es nun eines willensbetonten weiteren Zuschraubens der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2. Der in Dichtung zur Taillenring-Innenfläche 5 stehende Stopfen wird dabei abwärts verlagert. Der Rest-Aufschraubhub y berücksichtigt dabei ein axiales Maß, welches mindestens dem Stopfensitzmaß z entspricht, so daß die Oberseite des Stopfens 1 den Fließweg in den Raum B freigibt.To activate the components, a willful screwing of the bottle cap 2 is now required. The stopper, which is sealed to the inner surface 5 of the waist ring, is displaced downwards. The remaining screw-on stroke y takes into account an axial dimension which corresponds at least to the plug seat dimension z, so that the top of the plug 1 clears the flow path into the space B.

Wie der Zeichnung entnehmbar, ist der Rest-Aufschraubhub y jedoch etwa um das doppelte Stopfensitzmaß z größer gewählt. Obwohl ein verhältnismäßig fester Stopfensitz, der aus Sicherheitsgründen stets anzustreben ist, überwunden werden muß, ergibt sich für die Öffnungsbewegung zufolge des relativ flachen Gewindeanstiegs trotzdem eine leichte Handhabung. Um die der herausgedrückten Stopfenstellung entsprechende Endposition auch fühlbar zu definieren, kann der Kappenrand 22 auf eine durch Wandungsversatz erzielte Schulter 23 im Mittelbereich des Raumes A auftreffen. Überlagernd oder stattdessen ist es jedoch auch zur diesbezüglichen Endbegrenzung möglich, den Stirnrand des Flaschenhalses gegen die Innenseite der Deckel der Flaschenverschlußkappe treten zu lassen.As can be seen from the drawing, the remaining screw-on stroke y is, however, chosen to be approximately twice the plug seat dimension z. Although a relatively firm plug seat, which is always desirable for safety reasons, has to be overcome, the opening movement is nevertheless easy to handle due to the relatively flat thread increase. In order to define the end position corresponding to the plug position pushed out, the edge of the cap 22 can strike a shoulder 23 achieved by wall offset in the central region of space A. Overlapping or instead, however, it is also possible to have the front edge of the bottle neck tread against the inside of the lid of the bottle cap for the relevant end limitation.

In Fällen, in denen ein "Rührstab" von Nutzen ist, kann die oberseitig des Stopfens 1 anschließende Verbindungsstange 4 auch so weit hinter schnitten sein, daß es nicht zu einer Klemmsitzhalterung kommt, so daß die Verbindungsstange 4 in den unteren Raum B fällt. Durch Schütteln der Flasche bewegt sich dieser dann frei als Rüttelkörper im Sinne eines besseren bzw. schnelleren Vermischens der Substanzen. Fig. 6 macht diesen Freischnitt des Verbindungsstangen-Schaftes deutlich. Ansonsten ist der gleiche Aufbau gewählt, wie zu den Fig. 1 und 2 beschrieben.In cases where a "stir bar" is useful, the connecting rod 4 adjoining the top of the stopper 1 can also be cut so far behind that there is no clamp seat holder, so that the connecting rod 4 falls into the lower space B. By shaking the bottle, it then moves freely as a vibrating body in the sense of better or faster mixing of the substances. Fig. 6 shows this free cut of the connecting rod shaft. Otherwise, the same structure is chosen as described for FIGS. 1 and 2.

Die in Fig. 7 isoliert dargestellte Flaschenverschlußkappe 2 weicht dagegen insofern ab, als dort das Mündungsstück 12 wieder dicht verschlossen werden kann. Die Bezugsziffern sind, soweit Übereinstimmung besteht, sinngemäß angewandt. Die weiterbildenden Details bestehen darin, daß das Kopfende der Dicht-Mantelfläche wandungsmäßig in eine auswärts gerichtete Ringsitzfläche 24 übergeht, auf welcher der Rand eines aufschraubbaren, die Entnahmeöffnung 12' des Mundstückes 12 verschließenden Deckels 25 aufsetzt. Dessen Innengewinde trägt das Bezugszeichen 26. Das korrespondierende Außengewinde 27' befindet sich an einem von der Stoßschulter St ausgehenden, zylindrischen Rohransatz 27 der Flaschenverschlußkappe 2. Von der Innenseite des Deckels 25 geht ein Dichtring 28 aus, welcher in die Entnahmeöffnung 12' eingreift.The bottle cap 2 shown in isolation in FIG. 7 differs, however, insofar as the mouthpiece 12 can be sealed again there. If there is agreement, the reference numbers are used accordingly. The further details consist in that the head end of the sealing jacket surface merges into an outwardly directed ring seat surface 24, on which the edge of a screw-on cover 25 closing the removal opening 12 'of the mouthpiece 12 is placed. Its internal thread bears the reference numeral 26. The corresponding external thread 27 'is located on a cylindrical tube extension 27 of the bottle closure cap 2 starting from the butt shoulder St. A sealing ring 28 extends from the inside of the lid 25 and engages in the removal opening 12'.

Das Außengewinde 27' erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des Rohransatzes 27. Letzteres wirkt sich materialsparend aus und bringt zufolge des reifartigen Umgriffs trotzdem eine hohe Gebrauchsstabilität.The external thread 27 'extends over the entire length of the tube extension 27. The latter has a material-saving effect and, due to the hoop-like wrap, nevertheless provides a high degree of use stability.
