Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for closing a container with a dosing tip, in particular an adhesive container, with a closure which surrounds the dosing tip and can be placed on the container with a sealing cap which can be placed on the dosing tip and with a sealing nose which engages in the opening of the dosing tip.
• Such devices for closing containers serve to seal a container airtight after use so that the air-sensitive substance in the container, in particular flowable adhesive, does not dry out.
• the sealing effect is achieved in that the device has a sealing nose which engages in the dosing tip of the container and which ensures a tight seal of the dosing tip.
• a disadvantage of the containers with closure devices designed in this way is, however, that the substance in the container, in particular adhesive, can only be squeezed out by the metering tip.
• the substance in the container in particular adhesive
• the object of the invention is to provide a solution which enables a uniformly flat distribution of materials, in particular adhesives, which are dispensed in a punctiform manner from containers, in an easily manageable manner without additional external devices and without removal problems.
• spatula is pivotably arranged on the closure by means of at least one hinge.
• the spatula can then, for example, be folded into the interior of the closure in the starting position and can be expanded out of the closure after removal.
• a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that two opposing side walls extending beyond the sealing cap are formed on the closure in the area of the sealing cap, the spatula being arranged in the area between the free ends of the side walls. It is particularly advantageous if the spatula has a hinge
• the spatula can be folded out from the container before the closure is removed by slightly pulling the opposite side walls apart or, if necessary, also pulling on the spatula itself. After use, the spatula can then be returned to the folded starting position without manual contact, thereby preventing the spatula from coming into contact with objects unintentionally.
• closure is in one piece and the hinges are (are) designed as film hinges.
• the closure can in particular be manufactured as a one-piece injection molded part, which simplifies production and makes it particularly cost-effective.
• ribs are formed in the region of the spatula in the side walls.
• the invention advantageously also provides that a suspension is arranged at the free end of a side wall which can be integrated into the side wall. As a result, the entire container with the closure can be simply put down by hanging up after use.
• FIG. 1 is a half section of a device according to the invention placed on a container with the spatula folded in,
• Fig. 2 shows the same device without a container as in Fig. 1 with the spatula also in a half section
• FIG. 3 shows the device according to FIG. 2 in a side view.
• a bottle-shaped adhesive container 1 which is only shown in its upper end region, has a metering tip 2 with a metering opening 3.
• a tapering area 4 and an annular groove 5 are formed, which is provided for engaging a closure 6 for the container.
• This closure 6 has a cap-shaped region 7, at the opening of which an inner annular bead 8 is formed, which serves to snap the closure 6 into the groove 5 of the container 1.
• a sealing cap 9 is formed with a sealing lug 10, which engages in the metering opening 3 of the metering tip 2 in the attached state.
• the closure 6 also has two opposite side walls 11, 12, which are molded onto the cap-shaped area 7 and extend in the area of the sealing cap 9 and beyond.
• two opposite film hinges 15, 16 are formed on the inner surfaces, on each of which a tab 17, 18 is pivotably arranged. The ends of these tabs 17, 18 are connected to a spatula 21 via two further film hinges 19, 20.
• External ribs 22, 23 are formed in the side walls 11, 12 in the area of the spatula for reinforcement.
• the side wall 12 is longer compared to the side wall 11, a suspension eye 24 (FIG. 3) being formed at the free end 14 of the side wall 12.
• the closure 6 now serves as a spreading element for the dispensed adhesive.
• the closure 6 is preferably held with one hand in the unfolded position of the spatula 21 in the region of the ribs 22 and 23 shown in FIG 21 spread the adhesive evenly.
• the side walls 11, 12 are again pulled apart in the region of the ribs 22 and 23, so that the tabs 17, 18 and the spatula 21 are again folded back into the closure 6 in the starting position shown in FIG. 1. This folding process can take place without touching the spatula 21 itself, so that no adhesive residues can reach the user's hand.
• the spatula 21 is then again in the position shown in Fig. 1, i. H. folded in such a way that an unintentional contact of the spatula 21 with other objects is excluded.
• the closure 6 is then again placed on the container 1.
• the adhesive container 1 can then be transported in a briefcase or the like without the risk that adhesive residues on the spatula 21 can get onto other objects carried in the pocket.
• the container 1 with the closure 6 can also be hung in a suitable place in the side wall 12 by means of the hanging eye 24.
• the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Further refinements of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea.
• a different arrangement of the spatula on the closure is of course also possible, for example, the spatula can be arranged on the closure via a simple hinge joint and the like.
