Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for opening and closing a container for flowable products with a cap with a tubular outlet that can be placed sealingly on the container opening with a sealing pin that projects from the center region of the outlet, a sleeve-shaped element enclosing the outlet being displaceable to a limited extent with the protruding pin sealingly enclosing pouring spout is arranged in the outlet end face of the sleeve-shaped element, wherein the pouring spout is released or closed by moving the sleeve-shaped element.
  • Such a closure device for a container is known.
  • the pouring spout which is sealed in the closed position by the sealing pin of the cap, is released by a limited longitudinal displacement of the sleeve-shaped element away from the cap, so that product can escape from the associated container.
  • the sleeve-shaped element is correspondingly displaced in the longitudinal direction against the cap, so that the sealing pin in turn engages sealingly in the pouring spout.
  • the generic device has a sleeve-shaped element, the outer diameter of which is substantially smaller than the outer diameter of the cap and the pouring spout has a cylindrical outlet opening, the pouring spout merging conically at the outer edge into the outer wall of the sleeve-shaped element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a solution with which the handling of such a device can be improved with simple means, in particular operation should be possible without coming into contact with the flowable product.
  • outlet end face of the sleeve-shaped element is designed as a collecting trough with a pouring spout protruding from the trough and having a funnel-shaped, sharp-edged outlet opening.
  • This configuration of the sleeve-shaped element improves the handling in a simple and clean manner.
  • the pouring spout with a funnel-shaped, sharp-edged outlet, a very good product tear-off is achieved after the emptying process, so that only small residual quantities can run off on the outside of the pouring spout.
  • These residual quantities are caught in the trough-shaped outlet end face of the sleeve-shaped element and do not flow into the handling area of the cap.
  • the user's hand thus does not come into contact with the product residues, since the side surfaces of the sleeve-shaped element serving as gripping surfaces are not wetted with product residues.
  • two opposing side walls of the cap which encompass the sleeve-shaped element in regions, are designed to be longer, between which the sleeve-shaped element is arranged so that it can be gripped on both sides.
  • the areas of the sleeve-shaped element between the side walls are designed as grip surfaces with grip elements, the grip elements preferably being designed as strips, depressions, lenses or ribs.
  • the longitudinal displaceability of the sleeve-shaped element in the cap is considerably simplified by these grip elements, since slipping of the fingers when moving is largely avoided.
  • an inner annular bead is formed, which cooperates with the spring tabs formed in the cap in the open position to lock the sleeve-shaped element in the open position.
  • a preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the sleeve-shaped element is not rotatably guided in the side walls of the cap in the closed state, it being possible for a fixing edge to be formed on the free ends of the grip surfaces for this purpose. This ensures that the same contact surfaces of the cap and the sleeve-shaped element always come into contact with one another in the closed position, as a result of which a particularly good seal can be achieved.
  • the invention also provides that the cap and the sleeve-shaped element are oval in cross section.
  • the tubular outlet and the collecting trough can be arranged outside the center if the associated container outlet is arranged offset accordingly.
  • a device, generally designated 1, for opening and closing a container for flowable products has a cap 2 with a tubular outlet 3 that can be placed sealingly on a container opening (not shown).
  • the cap 2 consists of an outer, slightly tapered wall 4 with two opposing, elongated side walls 5 and 6 with guides and the centrally arranged tubular outlet 3, which is placed in a cylindrical region 7, which seals onto an associated container opening a conical region 8 and a second cylindrical region 9 is subdivided, a sealing pin 10 projecting centrally from the second cylindrical region 9 and being connected to the second cylindrical region 9 via webs 11.
  • outlet openings 12 are formed in the area between the webs 11, from which the product can emerge from the tubular outlet 3.
  • Spring cones 13 in the form of segments of a circle are integrally formed on the cylindrical region 7 to enclose the conical region 8.
  • a sleeve-shaped element 14 is inserted between the side walls 5, 6 to a limited extent. It is in the end region of the sleeve-shaped element 14 facing the cap 2 is formed with an inner annular bead 15, which cooperates with the spring tabs 13 of the cap 2 in such a way that only a limited displacement of the sleeve-shaped element 14 is possible when a normal displacement force is applied.
  • a collecting trough 17 with a pouring spout 18 protruding from the trough is formed with a trumpet-shaped, sharp-edged outlet opening 19.
  • a cylindrical sealing surface 20 is arranged below the collecting trough 17 and, in the assembled state, sealingly surrounds the second cylindrical region 9 of the cap 2.
  • Cylindrical outer surfaces 21 of the sleeve-shaped element 14 are guided between the side walls 5, 6 of the cap 2 and are formed in the area between the side walls 5, 6 as grip surfaces 22 with grip elements 23.
  • the grip elements 23 are designed as strips.
  • a fixing edge 24 is provided at the free end of the grip surfaces 22, which prevents the sleeve-shaped element 14 in the cap 2 from rotating in the closed position.
  • the functioning of the device 1 is as follows: In the closed position shown in FIG. 1, this is sleeve-shaped element 14 fully inserted into the cap 2, such that the sealing pin 10 of the cap 2 engages sealingly in the pouring spout 18. To open the closure device 1, the sleeve-shaped element 14 is now shifted in the longitudinal direction out of the cap 2 by gripping the gripping surfaces 22 of the sleeve-shaped element 14 on both sides such that the annular bead 15 rests on the spring tabs 13. The spout 18 is released by the displacement, ie the sealing pin 10 no longer engages in the spout 18.
  • flowable product By pivoting the associated container, flowable product now passes through the tubular outlet 3 through the outlet openings 12 between the webs 11 into an area 25 between the cap 2 and the sleeve-shaped element 14 and flows from there through the outlet opening 19 of the pouring spout 18.
  • the associated container is again placed vertically, as a result of which the product is torn off at the pouring spout 18 through the sharp-edged outlet opening 19 of the pouring spout 18. Possibly small trailing product residues then run from the pouring spout 18 into the collecting trough 17 and collect there.
  • the sleeve-shaped element 14 is then pushed into the cap 2, so that the sealing pin 10 engages in the pouring spout 18 in a sealing manner.
  • To reopen the front Direction 1 is carried out as described, whereby contact with the product is almost completely ruled out, since only the gripping surfaces 22 have to be touched for moving, but not the collecting trough 17 with product residues from the previous opening.
  • FIG. 2 shows a modified exemplary embodiment, the same or corresponding parts as in FIG. 1 being identified by the same reference numerals with the additional index "a".
  • This embodiment is suitable for containers with an oval cross section, the cap 2a and the sleeve-shaped element 14a being correspondingly oval in cross section.
  • the tubular outlet 3a and the collecting trough 17a with pouring spout 18a are arranged outside the center, this arrangement of course depending on the arrangement of the associated container opening.
  • the tubular outlet 3a and the collecting trough 17a with pouring spout 18a can also be arranged centrally. How the device works device 1a otherwise corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
