The lid of a round or cornered household package can be constructed in a child-resistant manner independently of the presence of a carrying handle if it consists of a lid frame (1), which is fixedly connected to the container, and a lid sheet (10) which is to be placed loosely in said frame, and if the inside periphery (3) of the lid frame (1) is fitted at diametrically opposite points with a fixed holding rib (4) on one side and a resilient arresting web (5) on the other side, in each case above the closed position (9) of the lid sheet (10). Furthermore, the lid sheet (10) is provided on the inside periphery (3) of a resting edge (7) with a step (8) which allows the lid sheet (10) to rock, with the arresting web (5) neutralised, between an "OPEN" and a "CLOSED" position (Figure 1). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen kindergesicherten Deckel einer zur Aufnahme von pulverförmigem bzw. rieselfähigem Produkt vorgesehenen GroBpackung. Unter dem Begriff Großpackung werden im vorliegenden Zusammenhang als Haushaltspackung dienende Rund-, Rechteck- und Quadrattrommeln, aber auch Eimer, Hobbocks, Fässer oder dergleichen verstanden.The invention relates to a child-resistant lid of a large package intended to hold powdery or free-flowing product. In the present context, the term large pack is understood to be round, rectangular and square drums serving as household packs, but also buckets, hobbocks, barrels or the like.

Kindergesicherte Deckel für relativ kleine Behälter, z. B. Verpackungen für Arzneimittel oder Haushaltschemikalien, die eine entsprechend kleine, abzusichernde Entnahmeöffnung besitzen, sind im Verschlußbereich wegen der Verwendung stabilen Materials, z. B. Glas, Metall oder Hartkunststoff, und/oder wegen des relativ kleinen Öffnungsquerschnitts formstabil. Die Kindersicherung kann daher unter Ausnutzung der Formstabilität konstruiert werden. Das ist im allgemeinen bei Großpackungen für den Haushaltsbedarf die in der Regel aus einem im Verhältnis zur Gebindegröße relativ biegsamen Material, wie Pappe oder Karton, hergestellt werden, nicht ohne weiteres möglich. Solche Großpackungen können aber stark saure oder alkalische Produkte, z. B. Geschirrspülmaschinenreiniger, unmittelbar oder zusätzlich verschlossen in einem Kunststoffsack enthalten, die gegenüber dem Zugriff von Kindern im gefährdeten Alter gesichert werden müssen.Child-resistant lid for relatively small containers, e.g. B. packaging for pharmaceuticals or household chemicals, which have a correspondingly small, secure removal opening are in the closure area because of the use of stable material, for. B. glass, metal or hard plastic, and / or because of the relatively small opening cross-section dimensionally stable. The child lock can therefore be constructed using the dimensional stability. In general, this is not readily possible in the case of large packs for household needs, which are generally made from a material which is relatively flexible in relation to the container size, such as cardboard or cardboard. Such large packs can, however, be strongly acidic or alkaline products, e.g. B. dishwasher cleaner, directly or additionally sealed in a plastic bag, which must be secured against access by children at risk of age.

Zur Kindersicherung des Verschlusses eines Großgebindes wird in den DE-OS 32 32 535 und 32 06 531 vorgeschlagen, eine Kindersicherung durch einseiti­ ges Spannen eines Tragegriffbandes über den Behälterdeckel zu schaffen. Das bedeutet aber einen erheblichen zusätzlichen Verpackungsaufwand. Zu der ohnehin erforderlichen Stabilisierung der Entnahmeöffnung durch entsprechende Deckelkonstruktionen addieren sich nämlich bei den bekann­ten Sicherungen Kosten für das beispielsweise gespritzte Griffband und für das zugehörige, das eigentliche Sicherheitselement bildende Verschluß­teil sowie für dessen Montage am Großgebinde mit eventueller Anpassung der Abfüll-Linie.For child safety of the closure of a large container is proposed in DE-OS 32 32 535 and 32 06 531, child safety by Einseiti to create a strap on the container lid. But that means a considerable additional packaging effort. In addition to the already necessary stabilization of the removal opening by means of appropriate lid constructions, the known safeguards add costs for the injection molded grip tape and for the associated closure part, which forms the actual security element, and for its assembly on the large container with possible adaptation of the filling line.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen kindergesicherten Verschluß für den Deckel einer Haushaltsgroßpackung zu schaffen, der wirtschaftlich herzustellen ist, keine Veränderungen in der Abfüll-Linie erfordert, unab­hängig vom Vorhandensein eines Tragegriffbandes ausgebildet sowie zu betätigen ist und für den Benutzer eine einfache, keinen wesentlichen Kraftaufwand erfordernde Handhabung ermöglicht. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht für den eingangs genannten kindergesicherten Deckel darin, daß dieser aus einem unlösbar auf die zu verschließende Packungsöffnung aufzusetzenden Deckelrahmen mit einem umlaufenden U-profilförmigen Rand und einer in dem Rahmen lose eingepaßten Deckelscheibe besteht, daß an eine Seite des inneren Umfangs des U-profilförmigen Randes min­destens eine hinterschneidungsartige Halterippe unmittelbar über einer Schließposition der Deckelscheibe angesetzt ist, daß etwa diametral gegen­über der Halterippe am inneren Umfang des U-profilförmigen Randes zur Anlage an einer in der Schließposition befindlichen Deckelscheibe zu schwen­kender Arretiersteg vorgesehen ist, daß an den inneren Umfang des U-­profilförmigen Randes eine der Schließposition der Deckelscheibe zugeordnete Auflagekante angesetzt ist und daß die Auflagekante eine quer zur Ver­bindungsgeraden von Halterippe und Arretiersteg verlaufende, als Wippachse der Deckelscheibe wirksame Stufe zwischen einen dem Arretiersteg zugewand­ten Hauptteil und einer der Halterippe zugewandten Vertiefung besteht. Bei Anwendung wird der U-Profilrand über die Umfangskante der zu ver­ schließenden Gebindeöffnung gestülpt und dort fest verankert.The invention has for its object to provide a child-resistant closure for the lid of a large household pack, which is economical to manufacture, requires no changes in the filling line, regardless of the presence of a handle strap is designed and operated and a simple, none for the user handling requires considerable effort. The solution according to the invention for the above-mentioned child-resistant lid is that it consists of a lid frame which can be placed undetachably on the package opening to be closed and has a circumferential U-profile-shaped edge and a cover disk loosely fitted in the frame, that on one side of the inner circumference of the U. -profile-shaped edge at least one undercut-like holding rib is placed immediately above a closed position of the cover plate, that approximately diametrically opposite the holding rib on the inner periphery of the U-profile-shaped edge for bearing against a cover plate located in the closed position, pivoting locking web is provided that on the inner periphery of the U-profile-shaped edge is assigned to the closed position of the cover plate support edge and that the support edge runs transversely to the connecting straight line of the retaining rib and locking web, acting as a rocking axis of the cover plate between a de m there is a locking part facing the main part and a depression facing the retaining rib. When used, the U-profile edge is ver over the circumferential edge closing container opening and firmly anchored there.

Demgemäß betrifft die Erfindung einen aus einem Deckelrahmen und einer Deckelscheibe bestehenden Deckel eines Haushaltsgroßgebindes oder der­gleichen, mit dem der Deckelrahmen unlösbar verbunden wird und bei dem die Deckelscheibe nur bei gleichzeitiger Betätigung bestimmter Sicherheits­elemente durch eine Wipp-Bewegung in eine Position kommt, in der die Scheibe aus dem Rahmen entnommen werden kann. Als Sicherheitselement wird erfindungsgemäß die Kombination von Halterippe und Arretiersteg vorgesehen: nur wenn der Arretiersteg aus seiner, z. B. durch Federkraft eingestellten Normalposition oberhalb einer eingelegten Deckelscheibe zurück­gedrückt wird, kann die Deckelscheibe durch eine Wipp- bzw. Kippbewegung aus ihrer Schließstellung in eine Öffnungsstellung geschwenkt und mit der Hand entnommen werden. Die Kindersicherung wird also erfindungsgemäß durch zwei überlagerte Bewegungen, nämlich das Zurückdrücken des Arretier­stegs und das gleichzeitige Wippen bzw. Niederdrücken der Deckelscheibe, vorzugsweise an markierter Stelle, bewerkstelligt.Accordingly, the invention relates to a lid of a cover frame and a cover plate of a large household container or the like, with which the cover frame is connected non-detachably and in which the cover plate only comes into a position in which the plate by a rocking movement when certain security elements are actuated by a rocking movement can be removed from the frame. As a security element according to the invention the combination of holding rib and locking web is provided: only if the locking web from its z. B. is pushed back by a spring force normal position above an inserted cover plate, the cover plate can be pivoted by a rocking or tilting movement from its closed position into an open position and removed by hand. The childproof lock is thus accomplished according to the invention by two superimposed movements, namely the pushing back of the locking web and the simultaneous rocking or pushing down of the cover plate, preferably at a marked point.

Gemäß weiterer Erfindung wird die Auflagekante rund um - eventuell mit Ausnahme des Bereichs des Arretierstegs - am inneren Umfangs des U-­profilförmigen Randes vorgesehen, aber auf einer quer zur Verbindungsgera­den von Halterippe und Arretiersteg liegenden Linie mit einer zur Halterippe hin abfallenden Stufe ausgestattet. Stattdessen kann die Auflagekante von dieser Querlinie aus auch in Richtung auf die Halterippe nach unten, das heißt zum Trommelinnern hin, aus einer der Schließposition der Deckelschei­be entsprechenden Ebene schräg abfallen. Die genannte Stufe oder Querlinie bildet in jedem Falle die Achse zum Wippen der Deckelscheibe beim Öffnen oder Schließen des Deckels.According to a further invention, the support edge is provided all around - possibly with the exception of the area of the locking web - on the inner circumference of the U-profile-shaped edge, but is provided on a line lying transversely to the connecting straight line between the holding rib and the locking web with a step descending towards the holding rib. Instead, the support edge can also slope downwards from this transverse line in the direction of the holding rib, that is to the inside of the drum, from a plane corresponding to the closed position of the cover plate. The step or transverse line mentioned forms the axis for rocking the cover plate when opening or closing the cover.

Zum Schließen brauchtdie Deckelscheibe lediglich unter die Halterippe geschoben und den Arretiersteg zurückdrückend auf den der Schließposition entsprechenden Hauptteil der Auflagekante aufgelegt zu werden. Wenn die Schließposition erreicht ist, das heißt wenn die Deckelscheibe flach auf dem Hauptteil der Auflagekante ruht, schnappt der Arretiersteg zurück und verhindert ein Zurückwippen der Deckelscheibe. Diese wird in der Schließpostion an diametral gegenüberliegenden Bereichen des Deckelrah­mens durch die Halterippe einerseits und den Arretiersteg andererseits fixiert. Ein dichtes Anliegen der Deckelscheibe an den umlaufenden Teilen des Randes des Deckelrahmens gewährleistet sowohl eine gute Dichtung des zugehörigen Behälters als auch eine Sicherung gegen unbefugtes Anhe­ben der Deckelscheibe.To close, the cover plate only needs to be pushed under the retaining rib and pushing the locking web back to that of the closed position corresponding main part of the support edge to be placed. When the closed position is reached, i.e. when the cover plate lies flat on the main part of the support edge, the locking web snaps back and prevents the cover plate from rocking back. This is fixed in the closing position on diametrically opposite areas of the cover frame by the retaining rib on the one hand and the locking web on the other. A tight fit of the cover plate on the peripheral parts of the edge of the cover frame ensures both a good seal of the associated container and a safeguard against unauthorized lifting of the cover plate.

Der Arretiersteg wird zweckmäßig so ausgebildet, daß er aus der Ebene des inneren Umfangs des U-profilförmigen Randes federnd über die Schließ­position der Deckelscheibe springt. Der Arretiersteg kann als Bestandteil des Randes aus diesem ausgeschnitten sein. Bei rechteckigem Deckelrahmen sollen die Arretiermittel an den einander gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten vorgesehen werden. Günstig ist es beispielsweise an einer Schmalseite eine aus zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Teilen bestehende Halterippe anzubringen, damit die Deckelscheibe nichtunterwünscht gekippt werden kann und an der gegenüberliegenden Schmalseite einen Arretiersteg vorzusehen, der mit einer Hand bzw. mit zwei Fingern aus der Fixierstellung in die Neu­tralstellung zu bringen ist. Die Halterippe kann grundsätzlich ein- oder mehrteilig sein.The locking web is expediently designed so that it springs out of the plane of the inner circumference of the U-shaped edge resiliently over the closed position of the cover plate. The locking web can be cut out of this as part of the edge. In the case of a rectangular cover frame, the locking means should be provided on the opposite narrow sides. It is favorable, for example, to attach a retaining rib consisting of two adjacent parts on one narrow side so that the cover plate cannot be tilted undesirably and to provide a locking web on the opposite narrow side, which can be moved from the fixing position to the neutral position with one hand or with two fingers . The holding rib can basically be in one or more parts.

Im Bedarfsfall können zusätzlich Schnappwülste an inneren Umfang des Randes des Deckelrahmens angebracht werden, die die Deckelscheibe eben­falls sichern und einen von Kindern nicht aufzubringenden Kraftaufwand beim Öffnen erfordern.If necessary, additional snap beads can be attached to the inner circumference of the edge of the lid frame, which also secure the lid disc and require a force that children cannot exert when opening.

Anhand der schematischen Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels werden Einzelheiten der Erfindung erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf einen Deckelrahmen; und
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II durch den Deckel­rahmen nach Fig. 1 mit in den Rahmen eingelegter Deckelscheibe.
Details of the invention are explained on the basis of the schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a lid frame. and
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along the line II-II through the cover frame of FIG. 1 with the cover plate inserted into the frame.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 wird ein insgesamt mit 1 bezeichneter im wesentlichen rechteckiger Deckelrahmen mit einem U-profilförmigen, umlaufenden Rand 2 dargestellt. Der Rand 2 dient unter anderem dazu, den Deckel auf der Umfangskante der zu verschließenden Gebindeöffnung zu fixieren. An einer Schmalseite seines inneren Umfangs 3 besitzt der Rand 2 eine aus zwei Teilen bestehende Halterippe 4 und an der gegenüberliegenden Schmalseite einen Arretiersteg 5, der zur Innenseite des U-profilförmigen Randes 2 hin federnd vorspringt und so dimensioniert ist, daß sein freies Ende 6 zurück in die Ebene des inneren Umfangs 3 des Randes 2 zu drücken ist, aber bei Nachlassen des, z. B. mit zwei Fingern, ausgeübten Druckes wieder in die Ausgangstellung nach Fig. 1 oder 2 zurückspringt. Die Halterippen 15 dienen der Festlegung der Deckelscheibe 10 in der Stellung "zu". Am inneren Umfang 3 des Randes 2 wird außerdem eine umlaufende insge­samt mit 7 bezeichnete Auflagekante vorgesehen, die im Bereich des Arre­tierstegs 5 ausgespartsein kann. Die Auflagekante 7 besitzt im Ausführungs­beispiel eine Stufe 8 (vergleiche Fig. 2). Die Stufe 8 befindet sich an der Grenze zwischen dem Hauptteil 11 der Auflagekante 7 und einer bis zu den Halterippen 4 reichenden Vertiefung 12 der Auflage­kante 7. Die Vertiefung 12 wird so ausgebildet und geformt, daß eine eingelegte Deckelscheibe 10 bei neutralgedrücktem Arretiersteg 5 um die Stufe 8 als Achse zwischen den Stellungen "AUF" und "ZU" hin und her zu wippen ist.1 and 2, a generally rectangular lid frame, generally designated 1, is shown with a U-shaped peripheral edge 2. The edge 2 serves, among other things, to fix the lid on the peripheral edge of the container opening to be closed. On a narrow side of its inner circumference 3, the edge 2 has a holding rib 4 consisting of two parts and on the opposite narrow side a locking web 5 which projects resiliently towards the inside of the U-shaped edge 2 and is dimensioned such that its free end 6 returns is to be pressed in the plane of the inner circumference 3 of the edge 2, but when the z. B. with two fingers, pressure exerted back into the starting position of FIG. 1 or 2. The holding ribs 15 serve to fix the cover plate 10 in the "closed" position. On the inner circumference 3 of the edge 2 there is also a circumferential support edge, designated overall by 7, which can be recessed in the area of the locking web 5. The support edge 7 has a step 8 in the exemplary embodiment (see FIG. 2). The step 8 is located on the boundary between the main part 11 of the support edge 7 and a depression 12 of the support edge 7 which extends as far as the holding ribs 4. The depression 12 is formed and shaped such that an inserted cover plate 10 around the step with the locking web 5 pressed neutral 8 as the axis between the "OPEN" and "CLOSED" positions.

Zum Öffnen des Deckels gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel werden gleichzeitig der Arretiersteg 5 zurückgedrückt und der freiliegende Teil der Deckel­scheibe 10 in den Bereich der Vertiefung 12 hineingewippt, so daß das in "ZU"-Stellung auf dem der Schließposition 9 entsprechenden Hauptteil 11 der Auflagekante 7 ruhende Ende der Deckelscheibe 10 über die Ober­kante 13 des U-profilförmigen Randes 2 hoch zuschwenken ist und mit der Hand entnommen werden kann. Vorzugsweise werden zum Wippen der Deckelscheibe in der einen oder anderen Richtung auf der Deckelfläche Wipp-Markierungen vorgesehen.To open the lid according to the exemplary embodiment, the locking web 5 is simultaneously pushed back and the exposed part of the cover plate 10 is rocked into the region of the recess 12, so that the end of the rest of the rest of the resting part 7 in the "CLOSED" position on the main part 11 corresponding to the closed position 9 Cover plate 10 is swung up over the upper edge 13 of the U-shaped edge 2 and can be removed by hand. Rocker markings are preferably provided on the cover surface for rocking the cover disk in one direction or the other.

Wenn die Sicherung durch den Arretiersteg 5 noch nicht ausreichen sollte, können am inneren Umfang 3 des U-Profilrandes 2 zusätzliche Schnappwülste 14 vorgesehen werden. Die Schnappwülste 14 lassen sich so ausbilden, daß sie eine von Kindern im gefährdeten Alter nicht aufzubringende Kraft zum Öffnen erfordern.If the securing by the locking web 5 should not be sufficient, 2 additional snap beads 14 can be provided on the inner circumference 3 of the U-profile edge. The snap beads 14 can be designed in such a way that they require a force which cannot be exerted by children of the age at risk for opening.
