Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for container openings with a closure part made of a base part and pouring spout, which is connected in one piece to the base part by means of a flexible bellows and which is brought into a pouring position with an extended pouring spout when pouring out by means of the bellows from an initial position with an inserted pouring spout closed condition of the container is screwed onto the pouring spout, a flap plate with screw attachment and molded flaps, the stirrups being held in the plane of the flap plate by means of predetermined breaking points.
  • a closure of this type is known from EP-A 0 306 670.
  • the curls can be bent up from the plane of the curling plate after the predetermined breaking points have been separated. They then serve to release the iron plate designed in the manner of a screw cap from the pouring spout.
  • the pouring spout is closed with a sealing plate which has a molded-out pull-out element. With this pull-out element, the pouring spout of the closure can be pulled from the starting position of the secured closure into the pouring position.
  • the bellows between the base part and the pouring spout of the closure part is so flexible that he allows the adjustment of these two positions of the closure part. After removing the sealing plate from the pouring spout, it can be removed from the container, ie poured out.
  • the pouring spout protrudes from the base part of the closure part in the starting position.
  • the prongs are exposed on the prong plate towards the base part of the closure part so that they can be gripped on both sides. This is necessary in order to be able to bend the brackets up slightly. This increases the overall height of the closure above the base part of the closure part connected to the container. If the pouring spout is flush with the base part of the closure in the starting position, then the prongs lie snugly on the base part, so that grasping and bending up the prong is considerably more difficult.
  • the bellows has a stretching section which, when pressure is exerted on the bracket plate, allows the pouring spout to be deflected beyond the starting position into an overtravel position, in that the bracket in the overtravel position by a stop on the base part of the closure part in the region the predetermined breaking points from the The ironing plate is separated and deflected from the plane of the same, and that when the pressure is released, the extended bellows returns the pouring spout with the ironing plate to the starting position and the arms keep their deflected position.
  • the bellows allows a further, limited indentation by pressing on the ironing plate over the stretching section Pour spout towards the container opening.
  • the stirrups are automatically separated from the ironing plate at the predetermined breaking points and raised from the level of the ironing plate.
  • the base part of the closure part serves as a support and stop for the bracket. If the ironing plate is released again, the pouring spout is returned to the starting position by the restoring force of the stretching section. But now the brackets protrude from the bracket plate, can be easily gripped and used to pull out the bellows and to turn the bracket plate designed in the manner of a screw cap.
  • a small overstroke of the bellows is sufficient, which can be achieved solely by the configuration of the stretching section. If the pressure to reach the overstroke of the bellows is correspondingly high, then a childproof closure is created.
  • the stretching section is designed as a loop. It is provided according to a preferred embodiment that the loop of the bellows is arranged at the transition from the pouring spout to the bellows and is open to the bracket plate.
  • the configuration of the sealing plate and the gripping element remains unaffected by this configuration of the bellows.
  • the pouring spout is closed by means of a sealing plate which merges into the pouring spout via an annular tear seam and is provided with a gripping element on the side facing the ironing plate, and that a pull-out ring or a pull-out loop is formed as a gripping element on the sealing plate.
  • connection between the brackets and the bracket plate is released so that the ends of two brackets are articulated at diametrical points of the ironing plate and run at a distance from the circumference of the ironing plate and that the brackets are connected to the ironing plate between their articulation points with at least one predetermined breaking point.
  • the configuration is such that the base part of the closure part has an inner sleeve and an outer ring which serves as a receptacle for one form the connection opening having container opening and that the inner sleeve and the outer ring are connected to each other via a support ring which serves as a support and stop for the bracket of the bracket plate.
  • the closure can be extended according to a further embodiment in that a hollow cylindrical locking ring is formed on the bracket plate in the region of the articulation points of the bracket, which is designed as a screw ring with an internal thread or as a locking ring with locking elements, in addition to fixed to the connecting piece forming the container opening will.
  • the closure according to the invention has a closure part 10, which consists of a base part 11 and a pouring spout 17, the pouring part 17 being integrally connected to the base part 11 via a flexible bellows 15.
  • This closure part 10 is preferably produced in a plastic injection molding process from a correspondingly flexible plastic, the wall thickness of the bellows 15 influencing its flexibility.
  • the base part 11 has a larger wall thickness and comprises an inner sleeve 12 and an outer ring 13, which are connected to one another via a support ring 14.
  • the base part 11 forms a receptacle for the connecting piece of the container having the container opening, the inner sleeve being inserted into the container opening.
  • the pouring spout 17 has an external thread onto which an ironing plate 30 with an integrally formed and provided with an internal thread screw attachment 32 is screwed. In the transition area to the bellows 15, the pouring spout 17 is closed by a sealing plate 18.
  • the sealing plate 18 carries on the side facing the bracket plate 30 a molded gripping element 19, which can be designed as a pull-out ring or pull-out loop.
  • the transition from the sealing plate 18 to the pouring spout 17 is designed as an annular tear seam 20, so that the sealing plate 18 can be easily removed after the pouring spout 17 has been pulled out into the pouring position.
  • a pressure is exerted beforehand on the ironing plate 30, with which, starting from the starting position of the pouring spout 17, an overtravel is carried out in the direction of the container opening.
  • Two brackets 33 which run at a distance from the circumference of the bracket plate 30, are articulated on the bracket plate 30 at diametrically opposed articulation points are kept at their level. Between the articulation points of the brackets 33 on the bracket plate 30, each bracket 33 is connected to the bracket plate 30 via at least one predetermined breaking point 34 and held in the plane thereof.
  • the bracket 33 lie over the support ring 14 of the base part 11, which serves as a stop during the overstroke. Since the stirrups 33 cannot follow the overstroke of the stirrup plate 30, the predetermined breaking points 34 are automatically separated and the stirrups 33 are bent out of the plane of the stirrup plate 30.
  • the bellows 15 has a stretching section 16 which permits the bellows 15 to be lengthened in the axial direction.
  • this stretching section 16 is designed as a loop which is looped directly into the transition from the pouring spout 17 to the bellows 15 and is open towards the bracket plate 30. 2, this loop is reduced, as indicated by reference numeral 16 ', since now the distance between the inner end of the pouring spout 17 and the base part 11 is increased.
  • bracket plate 30 If the bracket plate 30 is released, ie no more pressure is exerted on it, then the bellows 15 is returned to the starting position according to FIG. 1 due to the internal stress built up in the stretching section 16 '. But now the deflected brackets 33 protrude from the bracket plate 30 and can be easily grasped. As the arrows in FIG. 3 show, the brackets 33 are folded together and then serve as a handle for pulling up and loosening the bracket plate 30 from the pouring spout 17. For this purpose, the bracket plate 30 with the screw attachment 32 is unscrewed from the pouring spout 17. The bracket plate 30 carries a further sleeve-shaped extension 31 inside the screw extension 32, which is inserted into the free end of the pouring spout 17, closes and seals it.
  • the stretching section 16 of the bellows 15 can also be arranged at a different location on the bellows 15 and can be designed differently. It only has to allow a limited overstroke starting from the starting position of the pouring spout 17, with which the predetermined breaking points between the brackets 33 and the bracket plate 30 are separated and the brackets 33 are deflected from the plane of the bracket plate 30 by a stop on the base part 11 of the closure part 11 .
  • a hollow cylindrical locking ring 35 can be formed, which covers the locking part 10 and enables an additional fixing of the lock on the connecting piece of the container.
  • the locking ring 35 is designed as a screw ring with an internal thread.
  • the locking ring 35 can also be designed as a locking ring with locking elements.
  • Additional brackets can be formed on the bracket plate 30, which are at a distance from the base part 11. These additional brackets can be gripped directly and bent up without the pouring spout 17 having to perform an overstroke. The bracket plate 30 can therefore be released from the pouring spout 17 in two ways.
