Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure for containers with a guarantee ring on its underside its inner wall protruding inwards, causing the guarantee ring to be separated from the closure body Barb carries, each one causing the wedging of the barb in question on the container and have an underside inclined to this as well as to the inner wall of the guarantee ring.
- Barbs of this type are already known from numerous publications, e.g. from FR-A 2439138 and from EP-A-0154603.
- the barbs are individual projections distributed over the circumference of the guarantee ring educated; however, a ring-shaped barb has also been proposed, that is to say extends over the entire circumference.
- Both the top of the barbs and the bottom have one certain inclination to the inner wall of the guarantee ring from which they protrude. The angle is relative large, usually between 50-60 °. However, the top can also have an even larger angle. up to 90 °.
- EP-A-0154603 projections which have the same function as the barbs according to the present Practice invention. They also have a wedging of the barb in question Container-producing top and an inclined to this and also to the inner wall of the guarantee ring Bottom on. But they are designed as segment-like projections. Since the radius of the arcuate from the inner wall protruding toward the central axis of the closure approximately the same Is the radius of the inner wall itself, each projection becomes quite wide and because of its concentration closure material relatively inelastic. However, this creates problems when putting on the closures on the containers. The barbs must have a larger diameter sliding container mouth slide away, where they lie closely against the inner wall of the guarantee ring.
- the present invention seeks to avoid these difficulties which are extremely disruptive to the bottling plant.
- closure according to the invention is characterized by the features of the only claim.
- the new form of training of the barbs according to the invention is therefore both an improvement the properties of the fastener in terms of its mechanical placement as well as one Increased barb effect when unscrewed. It should also be noted that the new form the closure no complications and thus expensive manufacturing process using injection molding entails; a combination of properties, therefore, which is not easy for a person skilled in the art was evident.
- closure body 1 with the closure body, 2 with the guarantee ring connected to it via webs 3.
- closure body 1 On whose inner wall 4 extends over a part of the circumference several, usually three evenly on the same distributed barbs, of which only one barb 5 is shown in the figures. This one from the inner wall 4 upwards inclined bottom 6 and a horizontal top 7.
- closure body 1, guarantee ring 2, webs 3 and barbs 5 form one piece, which is produced in one injection cycle.
- the tip 10 must of course go so far protrude inwards that barb 5 still fulfills its function. So you must be within the profile the container mouth, or in other words, closer to the longitudinal central axis A shown in Figure 1 than the wall of the container mouth, because it has to be on the underside when lifting off the closure invest.
- sliding wedge 8 there is expediently only one sliding wedge 8 per barb 5, which consequently is symmetrical, i.e. is arranged in the middle of the latter, as shown in Figure 2.
- a sliding wedge is usually sufficient and secondly, it must always be ensured that as little material as possible is used to manufacture the closure is needed, which is crucial for the enormous quantities, even if it is the individual piece is only a very small quantity.
- the sliding wedge 8 must not become one cause significant stiffening of the guarantee ring 2, otherwise the risk of the malfunctions already mentioned occurs; The guarantor ring must also be able to become elastic when it is put on, despite the sliding wedges to expand.
- FIG. 3 shows an areal representation of a preferred embodiment of the invention Plastic closure with guarantee ring.
- 21 denotes a cross connection for the at this point interrupted guarantee ring 2, which ring on the above interruption also by means of the more trained Web 22 is attached to the closure 1.
- the interruption mentioned thus clearly acts as a "crack" or Predetermined breaking point.
- the guarantee ring 2 which is known per se, it is therefore not only separated from the closure body 1, but also slit itself, so that it is then inclined hangs down and shows the first opening well.
- To secure one or the other end of the guarantee ring it is advisable to secure it at the place mentioned not too stiff, which means that the barbs are spaced some distance from it as shown become.
