Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for containers, in particular for bottles, with a base part which has at least one dispensing opening and can be placed on the container, a lid which is articulated to the base part in order to open or close the dispensing opening, and a removable locking member to prevent and / or display an unauthorized opening of the closure.
  • a closure of this type is shown, for example, in EP-A-0151242. It has a base part and a lid, which are connected to one another with a film hinge. At the periphery of the base part there is a plastic strip consisting of one piece with the base part. This plastic strip has small-sized connection points with the base part at intervals.
  • the known closure has the disadvantage that it is relatively complicated and requires expensive tools to manufacture it. Since it consists of a single part, it can only be made in one color.
  • the film hinge with plastic leather can lead to a rapid lid movement when opening or closing, with the risk of that drops of the bottle contents, e.g. ketchup, fly away.
  • the cover is designed as a two-armed lever and in that the locking member is arranged between an arm of the lever and the base part in order to prevent the lid from being opened without first removing the locking member.
  • the locking member expediently constitutes a break-away part of the cover or the base part. A missing locking member on a lock indicates that the lock has already been opened once.
  • the blocking element thus has a guarantee function.
  • the breakable locking member can be made either together with the lid or together with the base part. As a rule, it is easier to manufacture together with the lid.
  • connection of the locking member to the lid or the base part is advantageously carried out by thin connecting webs that break without great effort, so that the locking member can be easily broken away. If an attempt is made to open the closure without breaking away beforehand, this will not succeed. Since the locking member is subjected to pressure during such an opening attempt, no tensile or shear forces occur at the connecting webs. Therefore, they remain intact. This represents a certain amount of child safety. On the other hand, it is possible to make the connecting webs very weak, which facilitates the deliberate removal of the locking member.
  • the lid and base part are advantageously separate parts. This makes it possible to produce the closure with two relatively simple shapes. These shapes can then easily be designed as multiple shapes. Since also in the manufacture since separate parts do not require a film hinge between the base part and the lid, the closure can be made from a relatively cheap plastic without the risk of a film hinge breaking. The use of multiple molds also enables a high production capacity. The possibility of different colors for the base part and lid is particularly advantageous. If the lid has a label, the label can also be changed without much effort. These advantages outweigh the disadvantage that the closure has to be composed of two parts. Even in the case of a one-piece closure, the cover must be pressed into the base part after manufacture, which requires a similar process to assembling the closure from two parts. Even if a two-part closure is preferred to a one-piece closure, it can nevertheless be established that the present invention can also be implemented as a one-piece closure.
  • the locking member is expediently designed as a tool for piercing a closure film of the container. It may have a tip for this purpose.
  • a protrusion is also advantageously provided on the locking member, which limits the lancing movement and thus prevents the locking member from getting into the container.
  • the projection on the locking member also facilitates the breaking away of the locking member from the cover or from the base part.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the cover is arranged in a groove in the base part. This results in an elegant design and also protects the lid when the container is being transported.
  • the lid is expediently approximately rectangular when viewed from above and has an approximately U-shaped profile in cross section. This results in a simple design of the cover, a relatively high strength being achieved despite the low material requirement.
  • the closure shown in Figures 1 to 4 consists of a base part 11 and a lid 13 which are hinged together. This articulated connection is brought about by two pivot pins 15 of the cover 13, which engage in corresponding bearings in the base part 11.
  • Base part 11 and cover 13 are molded parts made of plastic. You can have different colors have and also consist of different materials. Polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, for example, are suitable as the plastic material.
  • a nozzle 17 is formed, which is designed in a known manner so that a fixed connection to the container, e.g. a bottle 16, is achieved where the closure is used.
  • the base part also has a collar 19, the shape of which is matched to that of the bottle 16.
  • FIG. 2 shows, an elongate locking member 23 with thin webs 25 is connected to the cover 13.
  • the locking member can therefore be easily removed.
  • the separation is further facilitated by a lateral projection 27 on which one can grip with the finger.
  • the cover 13 is designed as a two-armed lever.
  • the locking member 23 arranged on the shorter arm 21 of the lever prevents opening of the lid 13. If an upward force is exerted on the nose 29, the opening of the lid 13 is prevented by the locking member 23 because it is between the lever arm 21 and the bottom 31 of the groove 33 remains clamped in the base part 11. Only after the blocking part 23 has broken away can the cover 13 be rotated around the pins 15, as is shown in FIG.
  • the cover 13 is approximately rectangular when viewed from above. From Figure 2 it can also be seen that the cover 13 has an approximately U-shaped profile in cross section. However, other shapes of the cover are also possible.
  • FIG. 4 shows the use of the locking member as a tool for piercing a closure film 34 of the container 16.
  • the locking member 23 has a tip 35.
  • the projection 27 serves as a limitation.
  • the rear part 37 of the locking member is corrugated to facilitate handling.
  • the dispensing opening 18 is formed by the end of a tubular spout 39, which also serves as a guide for the locking member 23 when the closure film 34 is pierced (FIG. 4). When the lid 13 is closed, the dispensing opening 18 is closed by the pin 20 of the lid (FIG. 1).
  • the locking member 23 can also have a different shape than in FIG. 2.
  • the locking member 23 of FIG. 5 is in turn fastened to the cover 13 with webs 25. It extends laterally beyond the lid 13, so that the buyer can easily recognize it and break it off as a breakable member.
  • a tool 23 ' can be arranged loosely or breakaway under the lid 3 and used to pierce a sealing film (Fig. 7) by inserting it into the spout 39.
  • the locking member 23 or tool 23 ' are also formed on the base part 11.
  • the locking member 23 or tool 23 ' are also formed on the base part 11.
