Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for cosmetics, in particular a mascara unit, comprising a base body made of plastic with an end shoulder extending approximately parallel to the container base and an axially extending threaded shoulder, onto which a screw cap can be screwed, in the foot area the threaded shoulder on the container shoulder to achieve a defined end position of the screw cap at least one backstop in the form of a spaced from the stop shoulder, extending over a certain angular range along the container shoulder locking projection is provided, with a locking recess between the stop shoulder and this backstop an engaging in the locked state between the stop shoulder and backstop, over the lower edge of the screw cap protruding locking and stop projection is provided is, and wherein the thread pitch and the thread start of the thread approach and screw cap are dimensioned or positioned relative to each other so that the stop and locking projection of the screw cap with its lower end in the end stop position at the lower end of the stop shoulder of the container shoulder is coming.
  • Containers for cosmetics of the type described above have in part a rectangular or oval, not circularly symmetrical cross-section, so that in order to achieve a corresponding appearance in the closed state it is very important that the outer walls of the closure cap and the container are exactly aligned with one another or oriented to one another in a defined manner are.
  • At least one stop shoulder is provided, which defines the end position in a defined manner, and, on the other hand, a backstop, which generally consists of a latching projection and a latching recess, and which ensures that the closure cap is removed from it on the stop shoulder cannot move back to the adjacent position.
  • a backstop which generally consists of a latching projection and a latching recess, and which ensures that the closure cap is removed from it on the stop shoulder cannot move back to the adjacent position.
  • the object of the invention is to design a container of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, even when using relatively soft plastics for the container, even with repeated or frequent actuation of the closure system, its functional properties are maintained unchanged.
  • the circumferential angle of the backstop is chosen based on the position of the thread start and the thread pitch on the one hand and the position of the stop shoulder on the container shoulder on the other hand so that the locking projection on the screw cap when screwing on the top of the Backstop hits and from there with a substantially steady downward movement to the abutment shoulder in the stop position.
  • the backstop is positioned and dimensioned such that A> H / tan ⁇ , where A is the distance between the base point of the stop shoulder on the container shoulder, H is the height of the backstop measured from the container shoulder and ⁇ is the thread pitch .
  • A is the distance between the base point of the stop shoulder on the container shoulder
  • H is the height of the backstop measured from the container shoulder
  • ⁇ is the thread pitch .
  • the top of the backstop will be designed to be essentially flat, parallel to the container shoulder. As far as this top is rounded, the height H is defined by the height in the area of impact of the stop and locking projection of the closure cap.
  • the backstop is positioned and dimensioned such that A> H / tan ( ⁇ + ⁇ ), where ⁇ is the thread tolerance. This should also include any manufacturing tolerance.
  • the stop shoulder on the container shoulder is inclined obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the container, forming an undercut.
  • the stop and locking projection of a screw cap corresponding to the stop shoulder on the container shoulder is inclined obliquely to the longitudinal axis such that it lies flat against this in the closed end position.
  • the stop and locking projection of the screw cap has two mutually offset sections in the circumferential direction, with one section in the region between the stop shoulder and backstop in the latched end position on the container shoulder and the second section rests on the backstop.
  • the solution according to the invention ensures high wear resistance, in particular in the case of containers made of softer plastics.
  • the container consists of a plastic such as polypropylene, polyethylene, low-pressure polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers or polyethylene terephthalate.
  • a container 1 shown in the drawing comprises a base body 2 with a rounded-square cross-sectional shape. On the upper side of the base body 2, it springs back inward to form a container shoulder 3, a threaded shoulder 4 with an external thread 5 extending axially away from the container shoulder 3.
  • the external thread 5 has a thread start 6 and a thread end 7 and has a thread pitch ⁇ , which in the exemplary embodiment is 1.75.
  • stop shoulders 8 which are offset by 180 ° and which are formed on stop bodies 9 which extend upward from the container shoulder 3.
  • a backstop 10 is provided at a distance S from each stop shoulder 8, the backstops 10 in turn being offset from one another by 180 °.
  • Each backstop 10 designed as a locking projection extends on the container shoulder 3 over a circumferential angular range E from an end 11 facing the respectively assigned stop shoulder 8 to an end 12 facing away from it.
  • the distance from the base 13 of each stop shoulder 8 to the opposite end 12 of the backstop 10 is shown in Fig. 6 as A.
  • a screw cap 14 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has a rounded-square outer contour corresponding to the base body 2 of the container 1. Inside the screw cap 14 is an only indicated application element 15, e.g. a mascara brush. On the lower edge 16 of the screw cap 14, two stop and locking projections 17 are provided offset from each other by 180 °.
  • Each stop and locking projection comprises a first section 18 and a second recessed section 19.
  • the thread start 6 and the thread pitch ⁇ are selected and the distance A of the distal end 12 of the backstop 10 from the base point 13 of the stop shoulder 8 is dimensioned such that the stop shoulder 20 has its lower end 21st when screwing in the direction of arrow 22 (Fig. 6) along the screw path 23 runs towards the container shoulder 3 so that it hits the top 24 of the backstop 10 approximately in the middle between its ends 11 and 12 (see FIG. 6) and then, without being raised again, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 6, is moved steadily downward in the direction of the base point 13 of the stop shoulder 8 with elastic deformation.
  • the stop shoulder 20 of the locking and stop projection 17 rests against the stop shoulder 8 of the stop body 9, both stop shoulders 8 and 20 by an angle ⁇ , forming an undercut on the stop body 9 against the longitudinal axis 25 of Container 2 are inclined.
  • the first section 18 of the locking and stop projection 17 lies in the area between the base point 13 of the stop body 9 and the front end 11 of the backstop 10, while the second section 19 of the stop and locking projection 17 extends over the backstop 10 (cf. Fig. 7).
  • the embodiment described above makes it possible to reduce wear, with the screw cap 14 assuming a defined position relative to the base body 2 of the container 1 in the final engaged state.
  • the sloping stop shoulders 8, 20 also ensure an axial holding component.
  • FIG. 8 is an illustration corresponding to FIG. 7 of the latching conditions in the engaged final state.
  • an angle of rotation grid corresponding to an angle range of 18 ° is shown.
  • the thread stroke R is illustrated corresponding to half the thread pitch with a screw-rotating movement over 180 °. From this representation it follows that the distance between the base point 13 of the stop shoulder 8 and the front end 11 of the backstop 10 as well as the circumferential extent of the backstop 10 is approximately 18 °.
