Abstract

The tamper-proof device for closures of containers, in particular bottles, has a label (12) which, when it has been removed or damaged, makes opening recognisable. The closure parts (4, 6), which are to be moved apart for opening, are provided with flat depressions to accommodate the label (12). The depressions pass from one closure part into the other or others and jointly have the contour and size of the label. If such a label is torn or cut through, this makes opening recognisable. However, the invention prevents the possibility of the label being removed and stuck on again. The abovementioned depression can serve this purpose as it makes it impossible for a user to grip with the fingernail or a tool under the label and lift it off. Instead of a depression, a horseshoe-shaped wall (22) can be provided which surrounds at least part of the label. Said wall can be broken off so that the consumer has access to the label. However, due to parts of the material remaining, the breaking-off of the wall and thus the opening of the container is recognisable. Additionally, the label can be provided with an adhesive which allows only a single bonding operation, thus making it impossible for a removed label to be stuck on again after tampering with the contents. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Originalitätssicherung mit den im Oberbgriff von Anspruch 1 oder 2 genannten Merkmalen. Das Etikett soll wie üblich die Teile des Verschlusses geschlossen halten. Im allgemei­nen sind es zwei Verschlußteile, nämlich Unterteil und Deckel. Es kön­nen jedoch auch mehr Verschlußteile vom selben Etikett zusammengehal­ten werden, z.B. zusätlich noch ein Zwischenring. Solange das Etikett sich an seinem Ort befindet, soll dies bedeuten, daß der Verschluß nach der Originalabfüllung nicht mehr geöffnet worden ist. Bekannte Originalitätssicherungen gewähren jedoch keine ausreichende Sicher­heit. Durch die vorliegende Erfindung soll eine Originalitätssicherung geschaffen werden, die einen sehr hohen Grad von Sicherheit gegen Fäl­schungen gewährt.The invention relates to a tamper-evident device with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 or 2. As usual, the label should keep the parts of the closure closed. Generally there are two closure parts, namely the lower part and the lid. However, more closure parts from the same label can also be held together, e.g. additionally an intermediate ring. As long as the label is in place, this should mean that the closure has not been opened after the original filling. Known tamper evidence does not, however, provide sufficient security. The present invention is intended to ensure tamper-evident protection which guarantees a very high degree of security against counterfeiting.

Die Erfindung soll zunächst in einigen Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen erläutert werden.

  • Figur 1 zeigt perspektivisch einen Verschluß für die Mündung eines Behälters, insbesondere einer Flasche, mit einem in Vertie­fungen sitzenden Etikett.
  • Figur 2 zeigt einen Verschluß, bei dem das Etikett zum Teil von einer Wand umgeben ist, im übrigen in Vertiefungen untergebracht ist.
  • Figur 3 zeigt eine Einzelheit des Verschlusses nach Figur 2.
The invention will first be explained in some embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective a closure for the mouth of a container, in particular a bottle, with a label sitting in recesses.
  • FIG. 2 shows a closure in which the label is partially surrounded by a wall and is otherwise accommodated in depressions.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail of the closure according to FIG. 2.

Der Verschluß nach Figur 1 hat einen Unterteil 4, einen Klappdeckel 6 und ein Schnappscharnier 8. Der Unterteil hat eine Griffmulde 10.The closure according to FIG. 1 has a lower part 4, a hinged lid 6 and a snap hinge 8. The lower part has a recessed grip 10.

Ein Etikett 12 verbindet Deckel 6 und Unterteil 4 des geschlossenen Verschlusses.A label 12 connects the lid 6 and the lower part 4 of the closed closure.

Wird das Etikett in der Trennebene 14 zwischen Deckel 6 und Unterteil 4 durchgerissen oder durchgeschnitten, so its das Öffnen kenntlich ge­macht. Verhindert werden muß aber, daß das Etikett abgezogen und nach dem Öffnen (Verfälschen des Behälterinhalts) und Wiederverschließen wieder aufgeklebt wird. Hierzu dienen mehrere Maßnahmen, die je für sich allein angewandt werden können. Vorzugsweise werden aber mehrere davon gemeinsam angewandt.If the label in the parting plane 14 between cover 6 and lower part 4 is torn or cut, its opening is indicated. However, it must be prevented that the label is peeled off and stuck on again after opening (falsifying the contents of the container) and resealing. There are several measures that can be used on their own. However, several of them are preferably used together.

An den Verschlußteilen sind flache Vertiefungen vorhanden, die gemeinsam möglichst genau die Umrißform und Größe des Etiketts haben, und in die das hier abgebildete Etikett 12 geklebt ist. Die Vertiefungen haben schmale Randflächen 16, 18, 20, die verhindern sollen, daß jemand mit einem Fingernagel oder Werkzeug unter das Etikett greifen und es abheben kann. Vorzugsweise gehen die Randflächen scharfkantig, insbesondere un­ter rechten Winkeln, in die benachbarten Flächenstücke der Verschlußtei­le über.There are shallow depressions on the closure parts, which together have the outline shape and size of the label as precisely as possible, and into which the label 12 shown here is glued. The depressions have narrow edge surfaces 16, 18, 20, which are intended to prevent anyone from reaching under the label with a fingernail or tool and lifting it off. The edge surfaces preferably merge into the adjacent surface sections of the closure parts with sharp edges, in particular at right angles.

Um es dem Verbraucher zu ermöglichen, das Etikett, ohne es zu beschädi­gen, abzuziehen, z.B. weil es einen Sammel- oder Erinnerungswert hat, kann nach Figur 2 und 3 an mindestens einem Etikettende an Stelle einer flachen Vertiefung an dem einen Verschlußteil, hier dem Deckel 6, eine etwa hufeisenförmige Wand 22 vorgesehen sein. Sie ist an den Deckel ge­spritzt und läßt sich vom Verbraucher abbrechen. Nach dem Abbrechen der Wand hat der Verbraucher Zugang zu nun freiliegenden Kanten des Etiketts und kann das Etikett abziehen, ohne es zu zerstören.To allow the consumer to peel off the label without damaging it, e.g. 2 and 3, an approximately horseshoe-shaped wall 22 can be provided on at least one end of the label instead of a shallow depression on one closure part, here the cover 6, because it has a collection or memorial value. It is molded onto the lid and can be broken off by the consumer. After breaking off the wall, the consumer has access to the now exposed edges of the label and can peel off the label without destroying it.

Wie Figur 3 zeigt, kann die Wand mit dem Deckel nur in einigen Brücken 24 zusammenhängen, im übrigen aber durch dünne Schlitze 26 vom Deckel getrennt sein, so daß sich eine Soll-Bruchlinie ergibt. Nach dem Abbre­chen der Wand bleiben Reste der Brücken 24 stehen und machen das Öffnen kenntlich, selbst wenn das dann abgenommene Etikett durch ein anderes Etikett ersetzt wird.As FIG. 3 shows, the wall can only be connected to the lid in some bridges 24, but can also be separated from the lid by thin slots 26, so that a predetermined breaking line results. After the wall has been broken off, remnants of the bridges 24 remain and make the opening recognizable, even if the label which has then been removed is replaced by another label.

Zur zusätzlichen Sicherheit kann das Etikett mit einem Kleber angebracht werden, der nur einen einzigen Klebvorgang zuläßt. Ein Wiederankleben mit Hilfe des Originalklebers ist daher nicht möglich. Bei geeigneter Materialwahl ist auch ein Wiederankleben mit Hilfe eines anderen Klebers nicht möglich.For additional security, the label can be attached with an adhesive that only allows a single adhesive process. It is therefore not possible to re-glue using the original adhesive. With a suitable choice of material, it is also not possible to re-glue it using another adhesive.

Das Etikett kann zwei Schichten haben, insbes. aus nur zwei Schichten bestehen, einer den Verschlußteilen zugekehrten inneren und einer äuße­ren Schicht. Die innere Schicht wird dauerhaft aufgesiegelt oder aufge­klebt. Die äußere Schicht ist mit der inneren durch einen lösbaren Kle­ber verbunden, der ebenfalls nur einen einzigen Klebvorgang ermöglicht. Wird die äußere Schicht abgezogen, so ist das erkennbar. Zur Verdeutli­chung kann die innere Schicht einen Aufdruck tragen wie "Behalter geöff­net".The label can have two layers, in particular consist of only two layers, an inner layer facing the closure parts and an outer layer. The inner layer is permanently sealed or glued on. The outer layer is connected to the inner layer by a releasable adhesive, which also allows only a single gluing process. If the outer layer is peeled off, this can be seen. For clarification, the inner layer can be imprinted like "container open".

Die äußere Schicht kann nach Art von Plaketten für deutsche Kraftfahr­zeug-Kennzeichenschilder aus einzelnen Flächenstücken bestehen, die beim Abziehen auseinanderreißen.The outer layer may consist of individual pieces of surface, which tear apart when pulled off, in the manner of badges for German motor vehicle license plates.

Die äußere Schicht kann nach Art von Geldscheinen einen fälschungssiche­ren Aufdruck tragen, damit das Fälschen von Etiketts zu kostspielig oder es leicht erkennbar wird, daß gefälschte Etiketts aufgeklebt wurden.The outer layer can carry a counterfeit-proof print in the manner of banknotes, so that the counterfeiting of labels is too expensive or it is easy to see that counterfeit labels have been stuck on.
