Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure device for a container, in particular a canister, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Closure devices of this type are known on commercially available canisters for fuel or lubricants.
- the sealing ring arranged in the cover is pressed firmly against the end of the pouring spout, so that the pouring spout is tightly closed.
- the lid since the lid is not attached to the pouring spout so as to be pivotable about a fixed axis, it can also be displaced in the radial direction with respect to the lid-locking axis so that it can be locked in the open position Canisters come in that the peripheral wall of the bowl-shaped cover sits on the end of the pouring spout and not the sealing ring. If the tensioning bracket is tightened under such conditions, the pouring spout is not tightly closed, and if the canister is then placed on one of its broad sides, liquid can flow out of it.
- the present invention is intended to further develop a closure device according to the preamble of claim 1 so that tightening of the clamping bracket is only possible if the cover is correctly placed on the pouring spout, that is to say the sealing ring lies over the pouring spout .
- the spacing means are produced in the same manufacturing step in which the bowl-shaped cover itself or the bowl-shaped holding part for the sealing ring is produced. This means that the production costs for the closure device according to the invention do not differ appreciably from those of a conventional closure device.
- the cover or the holding part for the sealing ring has only smooth edges, which is advantageous with regard to a low risk of injury and accidental snagging on clothing or other objects.
- an upper section of a canister for fuel or lubricant is indicated schematically at 10.
- a pouring spout 12 is welded into the upper wall of the canister 10.
- the latter carries two parallel lateral mounting brackets 14, which are connected by a web 16.
- the bearing tabs 14 and the inner end of the web 16 are welded to the pouring spout 12.
- a pivot pin 18 is fixed in the bearing brackets 14, on which a lid of the canister, indicated overall by 20, can be pivoted.
- the cover 20 includes a bowl-shaped cover part 22, which is welded to a hinge part 24 by spot welding is firmly connected.
- the hinge part has an eyelet-shaped end section 26 which surrounds the pivot pin 18. As can be seen from the drawing, the eyelet-shaped end section 26 is stretched so that the hinge part 24 can be rotated about the pivot pin 18, but at the same time can be displaced in the radial direction with respect to the pivot pin 18.
- the hinge part 24 can be unscrewed from the closed position of the cover 20 shown in the drawing and then, when the upper part of the end section 26 comes into contact with the web 16, can be moved to the bottom left in the drawing, so that the cover 20 is locked in the open position (the pushed-through section of the end section 26 then prevents the hinge part 24 from pivoting back about the pivot pin 18).
- the bowl-shaped cover part 22 carries on its inside a welded-on holding part 28 with a frustoconical peripheral wall 30. Between the outer surface of the latter and the inner surface of a peripheral wall 32 of the bowl-shaped cover part 22, a sealing ring 34 made of elastic material is held captively. When the cover 20 is in the correct closed position, the center of the sealing ring 34 lies above an annular flange 36 which is provided at the upper end of the pouring spout 12.
- the hinge part 24 has a circularly curved bearing section 38 above the center of the cover part 22, which together with the upper side of the cover part 22 defines a receiving opening for a bearing pin 40.
- a bearing pin 40 At the two ends of the bearing pin 40, two lateral legs 42 of a clamping bracket, generally designated 44, are fastened. The free ends of the legs 42 are connected by a gripping bar 46.
- a clamping hook 48 is formed on each of the two legs 42 of the clamping bracket 44, edge 50 specifies. The latter is concentric to the axis of the bearing pin 40 when viewed only roughly, but is in detail spifallg, the distance from the clamping cantilever 50 to the axis of the bearing pin 40 increasing towards the free end of the clamping hook 48.
- the clamping edge 50 works together with an arched clamping wall 52 which is firmly supported by the pouring spout 12.
- the clamping wall 52 is concentric with the axis of the bearing pin 40.
- the closure device described so far is known per se. It works roughly so that first the lid 20 sets loosely on the end of Off * g cashstutze ⁇ s listed 12, after which the clamping bracket 44 is pivoted in the clockwise direction, so that throughput running along the clamping edge 50 on the clamping wall 52 a to the canister interior pointing force is exerted on the lid 20.
- the sealing ring 34 is thus clamped between the bottom of the cover part 22 and the annular flange 36 of the pouring spout 12, so that the pouring spout 12 is securely and tightly closed.
- the cover 20 Due to the only loose arrangement of the cover 20 on the pouring spout 12, however, it may also happen that the cover 20 is not placed on the end of the pouring spout 12 in such a way that the sealing ring 34 lies over the ring flange 36, rather a part the peripheral wall 32 of the cover part 22 rests on the ring flange 36.
- the section 54 of the peripheral wall 32 lying away from the pivot pin 18 is designed in a ramp-like manner. The height of the wall section 54 is so high that when this wall section is seated on the annular flange 36, the tensioning hook 48 stands so high that the tensioning edge 50 lies above the end of the curved tensioning wall 52 on the right in the drawing.
- a ramp-shaped raised wall section can also be provided on the peripheral wall of the shell-shaped holding part 28, this wall section then being provided for the same effect as that of the wall section 54 in the section of the holding part 28 located on the right in FIG.
- wall sections having increased height can also provide wall sections with increased height at both ends of the cover part 22 and / or the holding part 32, so that incorrect positioning of the lid on the pouring spout is not possible in any direction.
