- Purpose of the invention is creation of a dropper d.ie / sch comparison with improved lußsystems 0 ⁇ 'gi na L i i tuschss assurance and ins ⁇ particular improved security against unintentional opening by Ki Direction.
- the object of the invention is to create a new, improved drip egg system which can be produced simply and inexpensively, and which in particular contains a child safety device which prevents the bottles which have been closed thereby from being opened accidentally and dangerously by children.
- the dropper / closure system of this invention includes a cup-shaped closure, on the inner circumference of which there are attached a plurality of retaining cams which cooperate with corresponding locking fingers which are attached on the outer circumference of the bottle mouth.
- the system consists of a Tropfvorri device consists of a suction cup, in which a pipette is installed, and which is fixed in a central opening of the cap.
- the suction element has at its lower end inside the cap spring elements which force the cap into a closing position in which the retaining cams in the cap engage in the locking openings of the retaining fingers on the bottle mouth. If the bottle should now be opened, the cap is simply pressed axially downwards against the spring pressure and then rotated. The retaining cams are pressed out of the blocking openings and, by turning, run into grooves on the mouth opening which are formed by the blocking fingers which are adjacent to one another. The cams can slide upwards in the axial direction when the cap is removed. After use, the cap is simply put on and brought back into the childproof locking position by pressing and rotating at the same time.
- a training according to the invention for the self-employed Protection is claimed, provides that the mouth part on the outside of its peripheral wall has at least one passage groove or groove which merges into a holding slot which is closed, at least at its end region facing the container mouth, so that the cap on its inside ,
- the circumferential wall surrounding the container mouth has at least one inward-looking retaining cam which can be inserted into the through-hole groove by means of a rotary movement of the container and / or cap and can be snapped into the holding slot via the penetration groove
- the cap is connected to a dropper, which essentially consists of a suction bellows and a pipette, and that the dropper on its side facing the container mouth is under tension in the closed position, thereby acting on the container mouth and holding the cam Has spring element holding in the holding slot.
- a dropper / closure system can be assembled from a few parts and can be produced simply and inexpensively.
- FIG. 2 shows a top view of the cap of the dropper / closure system from FIG. 1 ,
- FIG. 3 shows a partial illustration of the dropper / closure system from FIGS. 1 and 2, which is broken down into its individual parts
- 4 is an illustration of the dropper / closure system in a longitudinal section in a closed position of the cap
- Fig. 5 shows the cap pressed against the container mouth
- Fig. 8 a differently formed compared to Figs. 1-3
- Fig. 10 is a dropper / closure system, similar to that of Figs. 1-3, in a partial sectional view.
- FIGS. 1-3 an embodiment of the childproof dropper system of the present invention is shown with the number 10. If one first considers the structural details and the arrangement of the container 11, the container mouth 12 has a radially outwardly directed flange 14, which is below the Removal opening 16 is located. As best seen in Fig. 3, the outer wall of the container mouth has a series of locking fingers 20 arranged on the circumference.
- These locking fingers 20 extend around the circumference as shown and, in this example, are four-fold and spatially separated from one another, as a result of which they form four uniformly shaped axial grooves 21 on the circumference, with which the locking cams of the cap during the fitting and removal of the cap , which is described in more detail below, interact.
- the locking fingers 20a have an axial foot 22a, which is arranged at an angle to a plane through the central axis AA of the container. These feet define an interface against which the cams of the cap interact during the fitting and removal process from the container, which is described in more detail below.
- the locking fingers 20b have no axial feet, but can, if necessary, also be provided with them.
- the lower surface of each locking finger has an upwardly inclined surface 24 which is arranged adjacent to the locking groove 26.
- the lower wall the notch 26 is provided at a predetermined distance A and the lower end 28 of the beveled surface 24 at a predetermined distance B from the axial end face of the container in order to fulfill a specific purpose, which is described in more detail below as shown, of a generally cup-like shape and consists of a jacket 30 and an annular end face 32 formed thereon, which has a hole 34.
- the inside of the kafipe has a number of inwardly directed and circumferentially spaced portions ⁇ arranged cams 36 adjacent to the lower edge of the casing, these cams interacting with the locking fingers 20 of the container mouth in order to de n Closure on the container in g ⁇ 'gin Rundsteilender way, as described in more detail below.
- the suction element 40 of the dropper / closure system consists of a suction device 42 which is made of an elastically resilient material, such as. B.
- the suction cup has a radially enlarged, enlarged flange 50 at its lower end, its predetermined diameter D, which is significantly larger than the diameter D1 of the opening 34 in the upper end of the cap, and another relatively small, flexible flange 52, which is axially directed first flange 50 is arranged.
- the lower flange 50 has an upright ring 54 with a slightly inwardly directed, lip-shaped upper end 56 which extends from the outer peripheral edge and normally with the inner surface - of the cap upper part in a manner as shown in Fig. 4, is in forceful interaction.
- the base 58 of the lower flange 50 is arranged at a certain distance A1 (see FIG. 6) from the upper end of the locking cams 36.
- the parts that make up the dropper / closure system are easy to assemble. So z. B. the pipette is simply pressed into the suction element 42 until the disk 46 engages in the internal groove 4, which is arranged adjacent to the short upper flange 56. It should be noted that the hole of the suction cup is chamfered at the entrance in order to facilitate the assembly of the pipe.
- the suction / tube assembly is then introduced from the inside through the opening 34 in the upper part of the cap, the opening in the upper part of the cap leading from the inside, the opening 34 of the cap having a diameter D1 which is somewhat larger is than the diameter D2 of the Suction cup 42 to enable the suction cup to be installed through the upper opening (see FIGS. 3 and 6).
- the short flange 52 is flexible enough to slide through the opening 34 and, after being pulled through, rests against the upper annular end face with the ascending ring which presses against the inner surface of the annular upper part is, namely in the normal position of the Tei le against each other, as shown in Fig. 6.
- the cap is simply arranged on the container in such a way that the cams 36 are in engagement with the gaps between the locking fingers and downwards against the Keel-shaped surfaces of the ascending ring are pressed.
- the cap is then turned clockwise until the cams abut the inner edge of the axial foot of the locking fingers.
- the cap is then released, the flange of the suction cup pushing it upward, so that the cams engage in the closed position of the locking fingers. In this position, the cams lock the cap against twisting in relation to the container and thus prevent all attempts to open the cap by simply turning it, which is normal child behavior.
- the cap If the cap is now to be opened, it is simply pressed axially downward against the wedge-shaped surfaces of the ring until the cams are free from the highest point of the receptacle. Then the cap is turned counterclockwise until the cams are in the axial groove between the locking fingers. When the cap is released, it is pressed upwards by the spring action of the ring. In this position, the cams lie in the grooves 21 between the locking fingers, and therefore the cap can be removed from the mold with the drip device.
- the door assembly has a modified shape and, as best shown, consists of a suction element 82 which carries at its lower end a pair of radially outwardly directed and axially formed flanges 84 and 86 which are suitable for separate into one
- nipple contains a groove 90 to receive the Scheibel 92 of the cylindrical tube 94.
- the lower inlet of the suction cup has a chamfer 96 and a guide for easy insertion and assembly of the pipette 94.
- a keg-shaped actual part 100 is shown.
- the frusto-conical part is made of an elastic, flexible material (eg rubber) and is a plate-shaped element with a Z-shaped cross section. If the cap is on the
- QQ locking cams 36 are securely held in the slot slots 26 when the cap is in the closed position. If the drip device is now to be used to apply the contents of the bottle, the cap is simply pressed down to free the locking cams from the Ha Itesch strands. The cap is then rotated to the position in the locking cams are engaged in the axial grooves between the locking fingers. In this position, the cap can be removed axially for use with the dropper mount.
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of a dropper / closure assembly for a container, the mouth of which corresponds to that shown and described above.
- the suction cup 180 has at the bottom a radially outwardly directed flange 102 which extends around the circumference and has a relatively large diameter D5, which is, however, somewhat smaller than the inner diameter D6 of the cap and at a predetermined axial distance below a short, radially outwardly directed flange 104 is arranged, which abuts the upper end face of the cap and comprises this in the assembled position as shown in FIG. 9.
- a biasing element 106 made of an elastic material, e.g. B.
- rubber or flexible plastic is made, consists of an annular disc 108, on which at a certain angle on the circumference slightly inwardly bent fingers 110 are attached, and is located on the lower flange 102 of the suction part.
- the tips of the spring fingers touch the inner surface of the cap to hold the cap in an upper position with pretension. If the cap is to be removed from the container, the cap is simply pressed axially downward against the pretension of the spring fingers and into a
- the locking cams are in engagement with the release grooves, so that the cap and dropper assembly can be removed in the manner described.
- Fig. 10 shows a version of a suction element, as has already been described in the basic embodiments.
- the lower flange 120 is designed such that from the end of the axial opening 122 of the suction cup the flange is designed in the form of a spring attached to the entire circumference with a spring lip 124, the spring lip 124 of which upper end 126 is directed inward to achieve the bias necessary to hold the cap with the dropper assembly in the locked position.
