Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure, in particular for surgical rinsing water or the like, with a bottle-like container molded from plastic and a molded closure cap, and with a protective cap which can be screwed onto a thread on the container neck via the closure cap, the protective cap being detachable with a corresponding protrusions and undercuts axially fixed tamper-evident ring is connected, and wherein after loosening the protective cap from the tamper-evident ring, the latter can be pressed against the cap by further screwing on, so that the cap is torn off the container along a predetermined breaking point.
  • the tamper-evident ring In order to secure the tamper-evident ring against axial pulling off, it is known to provide it with projections and the container neck with corresponding undercuts. In the case of a tamper-evident securing ring which can be peeled off in the circumferential direction and has a radial predetermined breaking point, these projections must be relatively large in order to ensure a secure fit, which in turn makes handling when opening difficult. In other known solutions, the tamper-evident ring is connected to a retaining ring located below it on the container neck, which is connected to the container itself by ultrasonic welding or gluing. However, this does not guarantee the high level of tightness required in all cases.
  • the tamper-evident ring has a larger free diameter on its upper edge than the protective cap on its underside, wherein tear-off connecting webs are arranged between the tamper-evident ring and protective cap, and that an annular shoulder with a conical underneath the lower edge of the protective cap on the container neck Casserole shoulder is arranged.
  • the proposed connection, known per se from pharmaceutical bottles, between tamper-evident ring and protective cap makes it possible to loosen the tamper-evident ring by simply screwing on the protective cap further into the tamper-evident ring fixed axially downward. Accordingly, a separate movement does not need to be carried out for the separation of the protective cap and tamper-evident ring, in particular the tedious radial opening and peeling in the circumferential direction is eliminated.
  • the downward screwing movement must be carried out anyway to tear off the closure cap, so that the use of such a tamper-evident ring is particularly favorable in the present case.
  • the protective cap also provides secure protection during storage and transportation.
  • the webs can already be formed during spraying, so that the entire closure includes the protective cap and the tamper-evident ring a spraying process can be produced.
  • a thin, elastic sealing ring can advantageously be placed on the casserole shoulder.
  • This sealing ring must be selected so that it is able to compensate for seam projections on the outer wall of the container due to the shape of the technology.
  • At least the vertical section of the protective cap is double-walled, wherein the screw thread is formed on the inside of the inner wall and the conical contact section is formed on the inside of the outer wall. Due to this double wall, the outer diameter of the protective cap is increased despite the use of a standard thread, so that the protective cap is considerably easier to handle, on the other hand the elasticity of the outer wall is increased, so that reliable, defined contact of the contact shoulder on the lower edge of the protective cap on the overrun shoulder on Container neck is guaranteed.
  • an inner, annular projection of the protective cap engages in an undercut on the container neck below the closure cap. This ensures that a corresponding intervention when opening the container does not have to be made by the operator if necessary, so that the screwing on of the protective cap is further facilitated.
  • the closure cap is carried along in a manner known per se by the projection engaging in the undercut.
  • Gripping lamellae can be arranged on the outside of the closure cap in order to further improve the manageability of the closure cap, which is improved anyway due to the enlarged diameter.
  • an inward bulge is arranged on the inside of the lid area of the protective cap.
  • This preferably has an approximately spherical cap-shaped configuration.
  • At least one downwardly directed rib projection which continuously changes in height in the circumferential direction to be arranged on the inside of the cover region of the protective cap.
  • two such projections each extending over an angular range of 180 ° are provided. This ensures that when the screw cap is screwed on, a selective, asymmetrical pressure is exerted, so that it is sheared off with the least amount of force as the rotary movement progresses.
  • a container shown in Fig. 1 comprises a bottle-like base body 1, on the top of which an annular collar 2 is formed following a conical transition section 2 '.
  • a ramp shoulder 5 is formed, which has a conical ramp surface 6 to be tapered upwards. This is followed by a threaded section 7, again of reduced diameter, with a standard trapezoidal thread 8.
  • the protective cap 15 shown in FIG. 3 is injection-molded in one piece in the exemplary embodiment with a tamper-evident ring 16.
  • the outer diameter D1 of the protective cap 15 on its lower edge 17 is smaller than the inner diameter D2 of the tamper-evident ring 16 on its upper edge 18.
  • the protective cap 15 is connected in this area to the tamper-evident ring 16 via a plurality of connecting webs 19.
  • the vertically extending wall section 22 of the protective cap 15 is double-walled, a thread 25 corresponding to the thread 8 being formed on the inside 23 of the inner wall 24.
  • the inner wall 24 is connected to the outer wall 26 via a radially extending shoulder section 27.
  • a contact section 28 is formed on the lower edge 17 of the protective cap 15 on the inside of the outer wall 26.
  • an inwardly extending bulge 30 is provided on the top 29 of the protective cap 15.
  • the protective cap 15 is screwed down, which is due to the relatively large outer diameter of the protective cap 15 on the one hand and the Griffla additionally attached there mellen 34 is easily possible.
  • the bulge 30 of the protective cap 15 comes to rest against the flat upper end 14 of the closure cap 10 and presses it downward, so that the closure cap 10 is separated from the base body 1 of the container at the predetermined breaking point 11.
  • the frictional resistance when turning is very low due to the point-like abutment of the pole 35 of the bulge 30 on the flat surface 14 of the closure cap 10, so that this rotary movement can be accomplished effortlessly.
  • the conical area 28 with its conical surface comes to rest against the casserole shoulder 6 in the neck area of the container, a tight connection being made so that in this state the container is still hermetically sealed and sterile despite the cap 15 being torn off.
  • the tightness of the connection can be increased by applying a thin, elastic sealing ring 36.
  • the protective cap can now be unscrewed, also in this direction of movement tion due to the trapezoidal thread 8 used a secure power transmission is achieved.
  • the closure cap 10 which has already been separated, is also pulled upwards by the circumferential projection 33, which engages the section 12 of the closure cap 10.
  • a circumferential web projection 37 with a progressively changing height is arranged on the inside of the protective cap 15.
  • This web projection 37 engages on a shoulder 38 of the closure cap 10 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 in a point-like asymmetrical manner, so that the closure cap 10 is first sheared off on one side and then continuously with a rotating movement, which likewise ensures particularly easy separation of the closure cap 10.
  • an inwardly projecting sealing lip 41 is provided on the tamper-evident ring 16 and a sealing lip 40 is provided on the protective cap 15 on the outside of its lower edge.
  • the protective cap 15 When the protective cap 15 is put on mechanically, it is pressed against the tamper-evident locking ring 16, so that a tight connection is established between the sealing lips 40, 41 and after the protective cap 15 has been put on, no more dirt can penetrate there.
  • a further sealing lip 42 is provided, which against the correspondie renden section of the bottle neck and ensures an additional seal.
  • An approximately horizontally extending shoulder section 43 is provided on the closure cap, which enables the attachment and interaction with the protective cap 15.
