Abstract

The cover, having a removal opening, is to be protected by a seal which rules out undetectable unauthorised removal. A cap 15, consisting of thin metal sheet, is proposed as seal which can slide with an inwardly directed collar 17 over the base of the cover and in this case, grips behind a moulded-on profile ring 18 of the cover. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Neuerung betrifft einen Behälter mit einem eine einen profilierten Randbereich aufweisende Entnahmeöffnung enthal­tenden Oberboden und einem in die Entnahmeöffnung einge­brachten, aus Kunststoff bestehenden und durch eine Schraub­kappe abgeschlossenen Verschluß, der von einer Siegelvor­richtung überfangen ist.The innovation relates to a container with a top opening having a profiled edge area and an upper bottom which is made of plastic and is closed by a screw cap and which is overlaid by a sealing device and is introduced into the removal opening.

Derartige, Behälter abschließende, aus Kunststoff bestehende Verschlüsse sind in einer Anzahl variierter Ausführungen in Gebrauch. Außer und gegebenenfalls neben im Verschluß selbst angeordneten und von dessen Schraubkappe überfangenene Sie­gelvorrichtungen, deren Zustand nicht ohne weiteres erkenn­bar ist, sind auch äußere Siegelvorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen auf- bzw. abreißbare Siegelscheiben mit Teilen des Verschlusses gemeinsam gespritzt sind oder auf den Verschluß aufgebracht sind und über diesem gehalten sind. Nachträglich auf den Verschluß aufgebrachte Siegelvorrichtungen können als mit dem Verschluß verklebte Folien ausgebildet sein, bspw. kunststoffkaschierte Metallfolien, es können aber auch stärkere Blechscheiben vorgesehen sein, die entweder in Kunststoffteile des Verschlusses eingesetzt sind oder von einem den Verschluß fixierenden, bspw. geclinchten Ring gehalten sind. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß ein vollkom­mener Schutz gegen unberechtigten Anbruch nicht gegeben ist. Blechplatten, aber auch Folien, können nach vorsichtigem Entfernen bzw. nach vorsichtigem Aufschneiden bspw. auf unter ihnen liegende Teile des Verschlusses derart aufge­klebt werden, daß zumindest auch bei mäßig sorgfältigem Betrachten die Manipulation nicht ohne weiteres zu entdecken ist. In einer Anzahl von Fällen besteht darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, den an sich elastischen Kunststoffverschluß vermittels von Werkzeugen aus dem Oberboden des Behälters herauszudrücken oder herauszuziehen, ohne daß ein derartiges unberechtigtes Öffnen sinnfällig angezeigt wird.Such, container-closing, plastic closures are in use in a number of different versions. In addition to and, if necessary, in addition to sealing devices arranged in the closure itself and overlaid by its screw cap, the condition of which is not readily recognizable, external sealing devices are also known in which sealing disks that can be torn open or torn off are injection-molded together with parts of the closure or are applied to the closure and are kept above it. Sealing devices applied subsequently to the closure can be designed as foils glued to the closure, for example plastic-clad metal foils, but thicker sheet metal plates can also be provided, which are either inserted into plastic parts of the closure or held by a ring that fixes the closure, for example, clinched it are. However, it has been shown that there is no complete protection against unauthorized opening. Sheet metal plates, but also foils, can be carefully Removing or, after careful cutting, for example, glued to parts of the closure underneath them in such a way that the manipulation cannot be easily discovered, at least even when viewed with moderate care. In a number of cases, there is also the possibility of pushing or pulling out the elastic plastic closure by means of tools from the top of the container without such an unauthorized opening being indicated.

Die Neuerung geht daher von der Aufgabe aus, einen Behälter mit einem von einer gut sichtbaren Siegelvorrichtung über­fangenen Verschluß zu schaffen, der bei leichter Herstell­barkeit und geringem Aufwande einen sicheren, leicht inspi­zierbaren Schutz gegen unberechtigen Anbruch des Gebindes ergibt.The innovation is therefore based on the task of creating a container with a closure overlaid with a clearly visible sealing device, which results in safe, easily inspectable protection against unauthorized opening of the container while being easy to manufacture and requiring little effort.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine aus dünnem Metallblech bestehende Siegelkappe, deren kreisförmige Grundfläche von einem umlaufenden Mantel umschlossen ist, an dessen unteres Ende sich ein einwärts gerichteter Bund anschließt, der einen an einen an die Basis des Verschlusses nach oben an­schließenden Flansch angeformten Profilring hintergreift. Hiermit wird erreicht, daß die sich mit ihrem hintergreifen­den Bund relativ fest haltende Siegelkappe zwar noch ver­hältnismäßig leicht vom Verschluß abheben läßt, die hierbei aufzuwendenden Kräfte jedoch die aus dünnem Metallblech bestehende Siegelkappe derart bleibend verformen, daß ein Wiederausrichten der Grundfläche in eine Ebene und ein noch­maliges Aufdrücken zumindest durch die gestörte Ebene der Grundfläche sofort erkennbar sind. Das Aufdrücken läßt sich leicht und praktisch im gleichen Arbeitsgang mit dem Ein­bringen des Verschlusses selbst bewirken, wenn der Profil­ring sägezahnartig derart aufgebaut ist, daß der Bund der Siegelkappe über eine flache Flanke des Profilringes führbar ist und nach deren Passieren durch eine steile Flanke ge­halten wird. Als wesentlich hat sich noch gezeigt, den die Entnahmeöffnung des Oberbodens umgrenzenden Randbereich derart zu profilieren, daß ein nach unten gerichteter Mantel entsteht, an den die den Verschluß aufnehmende Ringfläche anschließt, und der die Siegelkappe derart umschließt, daß einerseits die oberen Deckflächen des Oberbodens und der Siegelkappe praktisch in einer Ebene stehen und andererseits der Mantel des Oberbodens den der Siegelkappe mit einer so geringen Distanz umschließt, daß zwar das Einbringen der Siegelkappe nicht gehemmt wird, das Ansetzen von Werkzeugen jedoch praktisch unmöglich oder zumindest leicht erkenntlich gemacht wird. Das Entfernen der Deckfläche der Siegelkappe zum Anbruch des Gebindes läßt sich erleichtern, wenn die Grundfläche mit einer vorgestanzten Reißlinie ausgestattet wird, die zweckmäßig kreisförmig verläuft, und deren Durch­messer so gewählt ist, daß die auszuziehenden Teile des Verschlusses die durch die Reißlinie begrenzte Öffnung zu passieren vermögen.This problem is solved by a sealing cap made of thin sheet metal, the circular base of which is enclosed by a circumferential jacket, at the lower end of which is connected an inwardly directed collar which engages behind a profiled ring molded onto a flange which adjoins the base of the closure upwards. This ensures that the sealing cap with its engaging collar can still be lifted off the closure relatively easily, but the forces to be used here permanently deform the sealing cap, which is made of thin sheet metal, in such a way that realignment of the base area into one plane and one more time Press on at least through the disturbed level of the base area are immediately recognizable. The pressing can be done easily and practically in the same operation with the introduction of the closure itself if the profile ring is sawtooth-shaped such that the collar of the Sealing cap can be guided over a flat flank of the profile ring and is held by a steep flank after it has passed. It has also been shown to be essential to profile the edge region delimiting the removal opening of the top floor in such a way that a downward-facing jacket is formed, to which the ring surface receiving the closure is connected, and which surrounds the sealing cap in such a way that on the one hand the upper cover surfaces of the top floor and the sealing cap are practically in one plane and on the other hand the jacket of the top cover encloses the sealing cap with such a small distance that although the introduction of the sealing cap is not inhibited, the attachment of tools is practically impossible or at least made easily recognizable. The removal of the top surface of the sealing cap for opening the container can be facilitated if the base surface is equipped with a pre-punched tear line which expediently has a circular shape and whose diameter is selected such that the parts of the closure to be pulled out pass through the opening delimited by the tear line capital.

The features of the invention are explained in detail on the basis of the following description of an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the drawings which illustrate the same. It shows here
  • 1 shows a section through an upper floor of a container, shown broken off, with a closure inserted into its removal opening and overlaid by a sealing cap,

In den Figuren ist abgebrochen ein aus Blech bestehender Oberboden 1 eines Behälters dargestellt, der zur Bildung einer Entnahmeöffnung sich in Form eines Mantels 2 nach unten bzw. nach innen wendet. Der untere Bereich des Mantels wendet sich zu einer Ringfläche 3, deren äußeres Ende wieder nach unten-einwärts gebogen ist. Auf die Ringfläche 3 stützt sich der Flansch 4 der Basis 5 eines eingepreßten, aus Kunststoff bestehenden Verschlusses ab. Beim Einpressen hat eine als Wulst 6 ausgebildete Verstärkung der Basis 5 des Verschlusses die Ringfläche 3 und deren nach innen gebogenen Endbereich derart passiert, daß die Stirnfläche des rohrar­tigen freien Endes sich gegen den Wulst 6 stützt und die Basis 5 des Verschlusses mechanisch sicher und verläßlich abgedichtet hält.In the figures, a sheet metal top shelf 1 of a container is shown broken off, which turns in the form of a jacket 2 downwards or inwards to form a removal opening. The lower region of the jacket turns to an annular surface 3, the outer end of which is bent downwards and inwards again. The flange 4 of the base 5 is supported on the annular surface 3 of a pressed-in closure consisting of plastic. When pressed in, a reinforcement of the base 5 of the closure designed as a bulge 6 has passed the annular surface 3 and its inwardly bent end region in such a way that the end face of the tubular free end is supported against the bulge 6 and the base 5 of the closure is mechanically and reliably sealed holds.

In an sich bekannter Art schließt sich an die Basis 5 ein ausziehbarer Balgen 7 an, der in eine mit einem Außengewinde versehene Gießtülle 8 übergeht, innerhalb deren eine Siegel­scheibe 9 vorgesehen ist, die entlang von als Sollbruch­stellen vorgesehenen Nuten durch Ziehen an einer Handhabe 10 aus der Gießtülle herauslösbar ist. Auf das Außengewinde der Gießtülle 8 ist eine Schraubkappe 11 fest aufgeschraubt, deren Kopfscheibe 12 mit einem in die Mündung der Gießtülle 8 dichtend eingreifenden Dichtkonus ausgestattet ist. Die Kopfscheibe 12 weist, einander gegenüberliegend, zwei Stege 13 auf, an die sich um Filmscharniere hochschwenkbare, etwa halbkreisförmige Griffbügel 14 anschließen.In a manner known per se, an extendable bellows 7 adjoins the base 5, which merges into a pouring spout 8 provided with an external thread, within which a sealing disk 9 is provided, which extends along grooves provided as predetermined breaking points by pulling on a handle 10 the pouring spout is removable. A screw cap 11 is firmly screwed onto the external thread of the pouring spout 8, the top plate 12 of which is equipped with a sealing cone which engages in the mouth of the pouring spout 8. The Head disc 12 has, opposite one another, two webs 13, to which approximately semi-circular handle brackets 14 adjoin which can be pivoted up about film hinges.

Überfangen ist der Verschluß samt Schraubkappe durch eine aus relativ dünnem Blech erstellte Siegelkappe 15, die aus einer kreisförmigen Grundfläche besteht, an die sich ein nach unten erstreckender Mantel 16 anschließt, dessen unte­res Ende einen einwärts gerichteten Bund 17 aufweist, der einen an den Flansch 4 angeformten Profilring 18 hinter­greift. Hierbei ist die Höhe des Mantels 2 des Oberbodens 1 unter Berücksichtigung der Stärke des Flansches 5, der Höhe des Profilringes 18 sowie der des Mantels 16 so bemessen, daß die oberen Deckflächen des Oberbodens 1 sowie der Sie­gelkappe 15 nach Einsetzen des Verschlusses auf gleicher Höhe stehen, und die lichte Weite des Mantels 2 sowie der Außendurchmesser des Mantels 16 sind so gewählt, daß die einander zugekehrten Flächen der Mäntel einen so geringen Zwischenraum einschließen, daß zwar das Aufbringen der Sie­gelkappe 15 nicht behindert wird, ein Einführen von Werk­zeugen in den durch den Zwischenraum gebildeten Spalt jedoch zumindest ohne gut sichtbare Beschädigungen unmöglich wird.The closure, including the screw cap, is overlaid by a sealing cap 15 made of relatively thin sheet metal, which consists of a circular base area to which a downwardly extending jacket 16 connects, the lower end of which has an inwardly directed collar 17 which connects one to the flange 4 molded profile ring 18 engages behind. Here, the height of the jacket 2 of the top floor 1, taking into account the thickness of the flange 5, the height of the profile ring 18 and that of the jacket 16, is dimensioned such that the upper cover surfaces of the top floor 1 and the sealing cap 15 are at the same height after the closure has been inserted , and the inside width of the jacket 2 and the outer diameter of the jacket 16 are chosen so that the mutually facing surfaces of the jacket enclose such a small space that although the application of the sealing cap 15 is not hindered, an introduction of tools in the by However, the gap formed between them becomes impossible at least without clearly visible damage.

Die Montage des Verschlusses wird durch die Einführung der Siegelkappe 15 praktisch nicht erschwert: In das pressende Werkzeug werden zunächst die Siegelkappe 15 eingelegt und der montierte Verschluß aufgebracht, so daß beim Einpressen der Basis 5 in die Entnahmeöffnung des Oberbodens 1 gleich­zeitig auch die Siegelkappe über den Profilring 18 gedrückt wird. Erleichtert wird dieses, wie der vergrößerte Aus­schnitt der Fig. 3 zeigt, noch dadurch, daß der Profilring 18 ein etwa sägezahnförmiges Profil aufweist, dessen flache Flanke nach oben gerichtet ist und das Darübergleiten des Bundes 17 erleichtert, während die steile Flanke nach Auf­ schieben der Siegelkappe deren Bund rastend hält. Die steile Flanke des Profilringes 18 kann noch geringfügig geneigt ausgeführt sein, um das Entformen des Verschlusses zu er­leichtern, sie kann achsnormal gerichtet oder aber auch hinterschnitten sein. Der Bund 17 kann, bspw. unter Bildung eines etwa halbkreisförmigen Profiles, an die Siegelkappe 15 angerollt sein; es hat sich aber auch bewährt, den Bund nur im wesentlichen etwa halbkreisförmig zu formen und im Be­reiche des freien Endes des Profiles dieses über eine ge­ringe Länge gestreckt zu halten, wobei dieser gestreckte Bereich des Profiles relativ steil nach innen geneigt bis vertikal verlaufen kann.The installation of the closure is practically not made difficult by the introduction of the sealing cap 15: the sealing cap 15 is first inserted into the pressing tool and the assembled closure is applied, so that when the base 5 is pressed into the removal opening of the top panel 1, the sealing cap is also at the same time Profile ring 18 is pressed. This is facilitated, as the enlarged section of FIG. 3 shows, in that the profile ring 18 has an approximately sawtooth-shaped profile, the flat flank of which is directed upwards and facilitates the sliding over of the collar 17, while the steep flank upwards push the sealing cap whose collar holds in place. The steep flank of the profile ring 18 can also be designed to be slightly inclined in order to facilitate the removal of the shape from the closure, it can be oriented normal to the axis or it can also be undercut. The collar 17 can be rolled onto the sealing cap 15, for example to form an approximately semicircular profile; but it has also proven useful to shape the collar only substantially approximately semicircular and to keep it stretched over a short length in the region of the free end of the profile, this stretched region of the profile being able to extend relatively steeply inwards to vertically.

Zur Erleichterung des Entfernens der Siegelkappe 15 ist diese, wie die Aufsicht der Fig. 2 zeigt, mit einer Durch­brechung 19 versehen, in die mittels eines Werkzeuges, bspw. eines Schraubenziehers, eingegriffen werden kann. Zum Ab­heben der Siegelkappe sind zwar nur unerhebliche Kräfte erforderlich; da die Siegelkappe aber aus recht dünnem Blech, bspw. Weißblech, hergestellt ist, ergeben sich hier­bei Verformungen nicht nur im direkten Umgebungsbereich der Durchbrechung 19; durch das Ausheben bereits an einem Um­fangsbereich des Profilringes 18 und Festhalten an weiteren Bereichen wird praktisch in jedem Falle der Entnahme der Siegelkappe diese geknickt und so stark deformiert, daß auch nach Richtversuchen stets auf den ersten Blick erkennbar sein wird, daß diese Siegelkappe bereits entnommen und hier­bei verformt wurde.In order to facilitate the removal of the sealing cap 15, this is provided, as the top view in FIG. 2 shows, with an opening 19, into which a tool, for example a screwdriver, can be used. Only insignificant forces are required to lift the sealing cap; however, since the sealing cap is made of quite thin sheet metal, for example tinplate, deformations do not only result in the immediate vicinity of the opening 19; by lifting already at a peripheral area of the profile ring 18 and holding onto other areas, the removal of the sealing cap is practically kinked and deformed to such an extent that even after directional attempts it will always be apparent at first glance that this sealing cap has already been removed and was deformed.

Erleichtern läßt sich das Öffnen der Siegelvorrichtung, wenn gemäß Fig. 4 die Deckfläche der Siegelkappe mit einer vorge­stanzten Reißlinie 20 versehen ist, die zweckmäßig kreis­förmig mit einem Durchmesser verläuft, der das Hindurchzie­hen der Teile des Verschlusses gestattet. In einem solchen Fall wird zweckmäßig die das Anbrechen erleichternde Durch­brechung 21 so ausgeführt, daß eine ihrer Seiten entlang der Reißlinie verläuft bzw. die Reißlinie 20 eine ihrer Seiten bildet. Im übrigen kann eine solche Durchbrechung in Form eines Segmentes oder aber auch halbmondförmig geformt sein, wobei die zweite der gekrümmten Linien nach der gleichen Richtung durchgekrümmt sein kann wie die Reißlinie oder nach der entgegengesetzten Richtung. Es ist auch nicht erforder­lich, daß bei dieser zweiten gekrümmten Seite die Krümmung entlang der Seite konstant ist; insbesondere kann es sich empfehlen, die Krümmung von der Mitte zu den Enden hin zu­nehmen zu lassen und rechtwinklig oder gar im spitzen Winkel auf der Reißlinie enden zu lassen.The opening of the sealing device can be facilitated if, according to FIG. 4, the top surface of the sealing cap is provided with a pre-punched tear line 20, which expediently runs circularly with a diameter which allows the parts of the closure to be pulled through. In one In this case, the opening 21 which facilitates opening is expediently designed such that one of its sides runs along the tear line or the tear line 20 forms one of its sides. Otherwise, such an opening can be shaped in the form of a segment or else in the shape of a crescent moon, the second of the curved lines being curved in the same direction as the tear line or in the opposite direction. It is also not necessary for this second curved side that the curvature along the side is constant; In particular, it may be advisable to increase the curvature from the center to the ends and to end it at right angles or even at an acute angle on the tear line.

Damit wird eine leicht inspizierbare Siegelvorrichtung ge­schaffen, die bereits jeden Versuch eines Anbruches deutlich sichtbar macht. Durch die geringe Distanz zwischen den Män­teln 2 des Oberbodens 1 und 16 der Siegelkappe 15 wird gleichzeitig auch bereits jeder Versuch eines Anbruches deutlich angezeigt, bspw. ein Versuch, den aus Kunststoff bestehenden Verschluß insgesamt aus der Entnahmeöffnung des Behälters herauszuheben. Die Distanz zwischen dem Mantel der Entnahmeöffnung und dem der Siegelöffnung ist hierbei so gering gewählt, daß schon der Versuch des Einführens eines Werkzeuges nur unter Verletzung und Verformung der Siegel­kappe möglich ist und damit deutlich erkennbar wird.This creates an easily inspectable sealing device that makes every attempt at opening clearly visible. Due to the small distance between the jackets 2 of the top 1 and 16 of the sealing cap 15, any attempt at opening is clearly indicated at the same time, for example an attempt to lift the plastic closure as a whole out of the removal opening of the container. The distance between the jacket of the removal opening and that of the sealing opening is chosen so small that an attempt to insert a tool is only possible if the sealing cap is damaged and deformed and is thus clearly recognizable.
