Abstract

Pot-shaped containers, in particular buckets 1 or the like having a lid 6 whose edge 5 can be connected to an attachment flange 4 or the like which is moulded onto the container edge 3 and projects outwards are already known, in which in the catch position of the lid 6 an inwardly projecting strip 13 moulded onto the circumferential edge 12 of said lid engages behind the outer edge of the attachment flange 4. In order to guarantee both an intensive closure between the bucket edge 3 and the lid 6 and at the same time to allow easy raising of the lid from the bucket edge, the strip 13 engages snugly and in a sealing manner around the outer edge 18 of the attachment flange 4 and at least one tool 14 is arranged on the container edge 3 for detaching the lid 6. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat ein insbesondere als Eimer od.dgl. ausgebildetes topfförmiges Gefaß zum Gegenstand, das mit einem Deckel versehen ist, dessen Rand mit einem an dem Gefäßrand angeformten und nach außen hin vorstehenden Befestigungsflansch od.dgl. rastend verbindbar ist, wobei in der Raststellung des Deckels eine an dessen umlaufenden Rand angeformte, nach innen vorstehende Leiste die Außenkante des Befestigungsflansches hintergreift.The present invention has a bucket or the like in particular. trained pot-shaped vessel to the object, which is provided with a lid, the edge of which with a molded on the edge of the vessel and outwardly projecting mounting flange or the like. can be connected in a latching manner, wherein in the latched position of the cover, an inwardly projecting strip formed on its peripheral edge engages behind the outer edge of the fastening flange.

Die Gestaltung und die Abmessungen sowie auch die Maßtoleranzen sind bei einem solchen Deckel im allgemeinen so gewählt, daß der Deckel, wenn er an seinem unteren Rand erfaßt wird, von dem Rand des Gefäßes abgezogen und damit von diesem gelost werden kann. Hierbei bestehen aber zwei konträre Bedingungen. Einerseits soll sich der Deckel bei einem noch vertretbaren manuellen kraftaufwand von dem Eimerrand losen lassen, andererseits soll aber auch ein ausreichend guter Verschluß des Gefäßes durch den Deckel gewahrleistet sein. Bisher hat der sich mit der Gestaltung derartiger Gefäße befaßende Konstrukteur einen Mittelweg gewählt, was jedoch einen oftmals nur unbefriedigenden Kompromiß darstellt.The design and the dimensions as well as the dimensional tolerances in such a lid are generally chosen such that the lid, when it is grasped at its lower edge, can be pulled off the edge of the vessel and can thus be detached from it. However, there are two contrary conditions here. On the one hand, the lid should be able to be detached from the edge of the bucket when manual effort is still reasonable, but on the other hand a sufficiently good closure of the vessel by the lid should also be ensured. So far, the designer dealing with the design of such vessels has chosen a middle ground, but this is often an unsatisfactory compromise.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, bei einem Gefaß der zuvor angegebenen Gattung sowohl einen intensiven Verschluß zwischen dem Eimerrand und dem Deckel zu gewahrleisten als auch ein leichtes Abheben des Deckels von dem Eimerrand zu ermöglichen.The object of the present invention is to ensure, in a vessel of the type specified above, that there is an intensive closure between the edge of the bucket and the lid and also to enable the lid to be easily lifted off the edge of the bucket.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß nun dadurch gelost, daß einerseits die an dem Deckelrand angeformte, nach innen vorstehende Leiste derart satt und abdichtend um die Außenkante des an dem Rand des Gefäßes angeformten Befestigungsflansches herumgreift daß hierdurch ein sicherer Verschluß erreicht wird. Um dabei dennoch ein leichtes Lösen dieses sehr fest auf dem Gefäßrand sitzenden Deckels zu ermöglichen, ist an dem Gefäßrand mindestens ein Werkzeug zum Losen des stramm sitzenden Deckels angeordnet.This object is achieved according to the invention in that, on the one hand, the molding formed on the edge of the lid, projecting inwards, engages so tightly and sealingly around the outer edge of the mounting flange formed on the edge of the vessel that a secure closure is thereby achieved. In order to enable easy removal of this lid, which sits very firmly on the rim of the vessel, at least one tool for releasing the tightly fitting lid is arranged on the rim of the vessel.

Bei einer besonders zweckmäßigen Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Gefäßes ist als Werkzeug zum Lösen des Gefäßdeckels eine an dem Gefäßrand angelenkte Lasche od.dgl. vorgesehen, die eine in den Deckelrand hineinragende Sperrnase od.dgl. aufweist und aus ihrer vertikalen Sperrstellung nach außen in eine den Deckelrand in diesem Bereich anhebende und damit freigebende Lösestellung schwenkbar ist. Wenn also der Deckel von dem Gefäßrand gelöst werden soll, so ist diese an dem Befestigungsflansch des Gefäßes angelenkte Lasche so weit nach außen zu schwenken, daß die an ihr angeordnete Sperrnase ein leichtes Verformen des Deckelrandes und damit auch ein Lösen desselben von dem Befestigungsflansch bewirkt.In a particularly expedient design of the vessel according to the invention, a tab or the like articulated on the rim of the vessel is used as a tool for releasing the vessel lid. provided that a protruding into the lid edge locking lug or the like. has and can be pivoted out of its vertical locking position outwards into a release position lifting the lid edge in this area and thus releasing it. So if the lid is to be detached from the edge of the vessel, it must be pivoted so far outwardly on the fastening flange of the vessel that the locking lug arranged on it causes the edge of the lid to be slightly deformed and thus also released from the fastening flange.

Um dieses Lösen und Anheben des Deckelrandes zu unterstützen, ist es ferner vorteilhaft, wenn benachbart zu dieser zuvor erwähnten Sperrnase, jedoch unterhalb der an dem Deckelrand angeformten, nach innen vorstehenden Leiste an der Außenseite der Lasche ein nach außen vorstehendes Widerlager od.dgl. angeformt ist, an dem sich dann beim Ausschwenken der Lasche in ihre Lösestellung die Deckelrandleiste derart abstützen kann, daß gleichzeitig auch der Deckelrand in diesem Bereich angehoben und damit von dem Gefäßrand abgehoben wird.In order to support this loosening and lifting of the edge of the lid, it is also advantageous if, adjacent to this locking lug mentioned above, but below the molded-in on the lid edge, inwardly projecting strip on the outside of the tab, an outwardly projecting abutment or the like. is formed, on which the lid edge strip can then be supported in such a way that when the tab is swung out into its release position, the lid edge is also raised in this area and is thus lifted off the edge of the vessel.

Ein sicherer Verschluß zwischen dem Gefäßrand und dem Deckelrand auch in dem Bereich dieser Lasche ist zu erreichen, wenn das Profil des in den Deckelrand hineinragenden Laschenteiles gleich dem Profil des an dem Gefäßrand angeformten, nach außen hin vorstehenden Befestlgungsflansches ist.A secure closure between the edge of the vessel and the edge of the lid also in the area of this tab can be achieved if the profile of the tab part protruding into the lid edge is equal to the profile of the fastening flange formed on the edge of the vessel and projecting outwards.

Da im vorliegenden Fall der Deckel derart satt und stramm auf dem Gefäßrand aufsitzt, daß er sich lediglich mittels der als Werkzeug dienenden Lasche von dem Gefäßrand abheben läßt, kann dieser Umstand auch nutzbar gemacht werden zur Erzielung eines besonders einfachen Originalitäts-Verschlußes. Dieses läßt sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreichen, daß mindestens die eine der beiden den jeweils benachbarten Stirnkanten der beiden Enden des Befestigungsflansches gegenüberstehenden Kanten der Lasche mit dem zugehörigen Flanschende über dünnwandige, eben als Originalitäts-Verschluß dienende und damit leicht abreißbare Kunststoffstege oder auch einen durchgehenden Kunststoffilm verbunden ist, die bei dem Herausschwenken der Lasche zerreissen und somit anzeigen, daß ein Lösen des Deckels von dem Gefäßrand mindestens im Ansatz erfolgt ist.Since in the present case the lid sits so tightly and tightly on the rim of the vessel that it can only be lifted off the rim of the vessel by means of the tab serving as a tool, this fact can also be used to achieve a particularly simple tamper-evident closure. This can be achieved according to the invention in that at least one of the two edges of the flap opposite the respectively adjacent end edges of the two ends of the fastening flange is connected to the associated flange end via thin-walled, serving as tamper-evident closure and thus easily tear-off plastic webs or also a continuous plastic film is that tear when the tab is pivoted out and thus indicate that the lid has been detached from the edge of the vessel at least in the beginning.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gefäß ist im vorliegenden Fall als ein aus Kunststoff gefertigter Eimer 1 gestaltet, an dessen die Eimeröffnung 2 umgebenden Rand 3 ein nach außen hin vorstehender Befestigungsflansch 4 angeformt ist. Wie insbesondere aus der Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, so sitzt der Rand 5 des Deckels 6 in seiner Schließstellung satt auf der Oberkante 7 des Eimerrandes 3 auf, wobei der in die Eimeröffnung 2 eingreifende Muldenteil 8 des Deckels 6 in seinem oberen Bereich satt und abdichtend an der Innenseite 9 der Eimeröffnung 2 anliegt. Eine an der Innenseite 10 des Deckelrandes 5 angeformte und nach unten vorstehende Ringrippe 11 dient dabei der Zentrierung des Dekkels 6 gegenüber dem Eimerrand 3.The vessel according to the invention is designed in the present case as a bucket 1 made of plastic, on the edge 3 surrounding the bucket opening 2 an attachment flange 4 projecting outwards is formed. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the edge 5 of the lid 6 sits snugly in its closed position on the upper edge 7 of the bucket rim 3, the trough part 8 of the lid 6 engaging in the bucket opening 2 being snug and sealing in its upper region rests on the inside 9 of the bucket opening 2. A ring rib 11 formed on the inside 10 of the lid edge 5 and projecting downwards serves to center the lid 6 relative to the bucket edge 3.

Weiterhin ist an dem umlaufenden Außenrand 12 des Deckelrandes 5 eine nach innen vorstehende ringförmige Leiste 13 angeformt, die in der üblichen Weise den an dem Eimerrand 3 angeformten Befestigungsflansch 4 satt und abdichtend hintergreift. Die Profilierung des Deckelrandes 5 und die Abmessungen der an diesem Deckelrand 5 angeformten Leiste 13 sind dabei so gewählt, daß ein unerwünschtes Lösen des auf dem Eimerrand 3 aufgesetzten Deckelrandes 5 von dem Eimerrand 3 nicht möglich ist.Furthermore, an inwardly projecting annular strip 13 is integrally formed on the circumferential outer edge 12 of the lid edge 5, which in the usual manner engages behind the fastening flange 4 integrally formed on the bucket edge 3 in a tight and sealing manner. The profile of the lid edge 5 and the dimensions of the molding 13 formed on this lid edge 5 are chosen so that an undesired detachment of the lid edge 5 placed on the bucket edge 3 from the bucket edge 3 is not possible.

Um dennoch ein leichtes und vor allem auch kräftesparendes Lösen des Deckels 6 von dem Eimerrand 3 zu ermöglichen, ist, wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 und 5 ersichtlich, an dem Eimerrand 3 eine sich über die Breite b erstreckende Lasche 14 angelenkt, die über ein mit 15 bezeichnetes Filmscharnier mit einem an dem Eimerrand 3 angeformten Steg 16 verbunden ist. Diese Lasche 14 weist dabei, wie aus der Fig. 5 ersichtlich, ein winkelförmiges Profil auf, wobei der bogenförmige Außenrand 17 dieser Lasche 14 das gleiche Profil aufweist, wie der Außenrand 18 des Befestigungsflansches 4. Dieser Außenrand 17 der Lasche 14 ist als bogenförmige Sperrnase ausgebildet, die in der in der Fig. 5 gezeigten Weise in den Deckelrand 5 hineinragt und so ein Hintergreifen der an dem Deckelrand 5 angeformten Leiste 13 auch dieser Sperrnase ermöglicht. Ferner sind an den Innenselten 19 der Lasche 14 noch mit 2o bezeichnete Verstärkungsrippen angeformt.However, in order to enable the lid 6 to be easily and, above all, energy-saving detached from the bucket edge 3, a tab 14 extending across the width b is articulated on the bucket edge 3, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, which is connected via a film hinge denoted by 15 to a web 16 formed on the bucket edge 3. This tab 14 has, as can be seen from FIG. 5, an angular profile, the arcuate outer edge 17 of this tab 14 having the same profile as the outer edge 18 of the mounting flange 4. This outer edge 17 of the tab 14 is an arcuate locking lug 5, which protrudes into the lid edge 5 in the manner shown in FIG. 5 and thus allows the locking ledge 13, which is formed on the lid edge 5, to reach behind. Furthermore, reinforcing ribs, which are denoted by 2o, are integrally formed on the inner rarities 19 of the tab 14.

Darüber hinaus ist zusätzlich unterhalb dieses bogenförmigen Außenrandes 17 an der Außenseite 21 der Lasche 14 noch ein rippenförmiges Widerlager 22 angeformt, wobei dann die besagte Leiste 13 zwischen dem Außenrand 17 und diesem Widerlager 22 an der Außenseite 21 der Lasche 14 satt anliegt.In addition, a rib-shaped abutment 22 is additionally formed underneath this arcuate outer edge 17 on the outside 21 of the tab 14, in which case said strip 13 fits snugly between the outside edge 17 and this abutment 22 on the outside 21 of the tab 14.

Soll der Deckel 6 nun von dem Eimerrand 3 abgehoben werden, so hintergreift die den Eimer 1 benutzende Person den unteren Rand 23 der Lasche 14 und erteilt dieser Lasche 14 eine Schwenkbewegung in Richtung des Pfeiles 24, wie dieses in der Fig. 6 dargestellt ist. Bei dieser Schwenkbewegung stützt sich zunächst die an dem Deckelrand 5 angeformte Leiste 13 an dem Widerlager 22 ab und wird bei einer weiteren Schwenkbewegung der Lasche 14 in radialer Richtung nach außen gedrückt, wobei sich der Deckelrand 5 in der in der Fig. 6 gezeigten Weise verformt und dieser zunächst mindestens in dem Bereich dieser Lasche 14 und schließlich vollständig von dem Eimerrand 3 abgehoben werden kann.If the lid 6 is now to be lifted from the bucket edge 3, the person using the bucket 1 engages behind the lower edge 23 of the tab 14 and gives this tab 14 a pivoting movement in the direction of the arrow 24, as is shown in FIG. 6. During this pivoting movement, the bar 13 formed on the lid edge 5 is initially supported on the abutment 22 and is pressed outward in the radial direction during a further pivoting movement of the tab 14, the lid edge 5 deforming in the manner shown in FIG. 6 and this can first be lifted off at least in the area of this tab 14 and finally completely from the bucket edge 3.

Beim Schließen des Eimers 1 nimmt die Lasche 14 wieder ihre in der Fig. 5 gezeigte Ruhestellung ein, so daß der Deckel 6 wieder in der gewohnten Weise auf den Eimerrand 3 aufgesetzt werden kann.When the bucket 1 is closed, the tab 14 again assumes its rest position shown in FIG. 5, so that the lid 6 can be placed on the bucket rim 3 in the usual manner.

Um weiterhin auch bei dieser Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Eimers 1 einen sogenannten Originalitäts-Verschluß zu gewährleisten, sind in der in den Fign. 2 und 7 dargestellten Weise zwischen den beiden Außenkanten 25 der Lasche 14 und den gegenüberstehenden beiden Stirnkanten 26 des an dem Eimerrand 3 angeformten Befestigungsflansches 4 mit 27 bezeichnete Kunststoffstege angeordnet, die, wenn die Lasche 14 in Richtung des Pfeiles 24 nach außen geschwenkt wird, abreißen. Ein solches Abreißen dieser Kunststoffstege 27 ist dabei der effektive Nachweis, daß die Lasche 14 aus ihrer Ruhestellung in ihre Arbeitsstellung geschwenkt worden ist und somit die Vermutung besteht, daß der Deckel 6 in unbefugter Weise von dem Eimerrand 3 abgehoben worden ist. Sind die Kunststoffstege 26 jedoch nach wie vor mit den beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Kanten 25 und 26 verbunden, so ist hierdurch die Bestätigung gegeben, daß die Lasche 14 nach wie vor ihre ursprüngliche Ruhestellung einnimmt und kein unerlaubtes und unbefugtes Abheben des Eimerdeckels 6 von dem Eimerrand 3 erfolgt ist.In order to ensure a so-called tamper-evident closure also in this design of the bucket 1 according to the invention, in the FIGS. 2 and 7 shown between the two outer edges 25 of the tab 14 and the opposing two end edges 26 of the molded on the bucket edge 3 mounting flange 4 with 27 plastic webs arranged, which tear off when the tab 14 is pivoted in the direction of arrow 24, tear off . Such tearing of these plastic webs 27 is effective evidence that the tab 14 has been pivoted from its rest position into its working position and thus there is a presumption that the lid 6 has been lifted from the bucket edge 3 in an unauthorized manner. However, if the plastic webs 26 are still connected to the two opposing edges 25 and 26, this confirms that the tab 14 is still in its original rest position and no unauthorized and unauthorized lifting of the bucket lid 6 from the bucket edge 3 is done.
