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 Gefäß zum Gegenstand, das mit einem Deckel versehen ist, dessen Rand mit einem an dem Gefäßrand angeformten und nach außen hin vorstehenden Befestigungsflansch rastend verbindbar ist, wobei in der Raststellung des Deckels eine an dessen umlaufenden Rand angeformte, nach innen vorstehende Leiste satt und dichtend um die Außenkante des Befestigungsflansches herumgreift und an dem Gefäßrand mindestens ein Werkzeug zum Lösen des Deckels angeordnet ist.The present invention has a bucket or the like in particular. trained pot-shaped vessel to the object, which with a Lid is provided, the edge of which is molded onto the edge of the vessel and outwardly projecting mounting flange can be connected in a latching manner, with the Cover formed on the circumferential edge, inwards protruding ledge full and sealing around the outer edge of the mounting flange reaches around and at least on the edge of the vessel a tool for releasing the lid is arranged.

Ein derartiges topfförmiges Gefäß ist durch die EP-A-243 545 bekanntgeworden.Such a pot-shaped vessel has become known from EP-A-243 545.

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 gelöst werden kann. Hierbei bestehen aber zwei konträre Bedingungen. Einerseits soll sich der Deckel bei einem noch vertretbaren manuellen Kraftaufwand von dem Eimerrand lösen lassen, andererseits soll aber auch ein ausreichend guter Verschluß des Gefäßes durch den Deckel gewährleistet sein.The design and dimensions as well as the dimensional tolerances are generally chosen in such a lid so that the Cover, if it is grasped at its lower edge, from the edge withdrawn from the vessel and can thus be detached from it. However, there are two contrary conditions here. On the one hand the lid with a reasonable amount of manual effort get rid of the bucket edge, but on the other hand should also a sufficiently good closure of the vessel is ensured by the lid his.

Bei dem aus der EP-A-243 545 bekannten topfförmigen Gefäß ist am Rand eines Deckels eine als Daumenvorsprung ausgestaltete Handhabe angeformt. Mit Hilfe dieser Handhabe kann der Deckel nur in einer ganz bestimmten Position zum Deckelrand, in welchem an einer Stelle ein Ausschnitt vorgesehen ist, mit seinem umgreifenden Rand über einen vorspringenen Rastrand am Gefäß hinweggehoben werden, so daß der Deckel dann vom Gefäßrand abgehoben werden In the cup-shaped vessel known from EP-A-243 545 on A handle designed as a thumb projection on the edge of a lid molded. With the help of this handle, the lid can only be in a very specific position to the edge of the lid, in which at a Place a cutout is provided with its encompassing Edge raised above a protruding snap edge on the vessel be so that the lid can then be lifted off the edge of the vessel

Aus der US 3,753,512 ist eine Gefäß mit einen Deckel bekannt, wobei sich der Deckelrand in die Gefäßwand, zumindest nach einiger Zeit, hineindrücken kann. Zum Lösen des Deckels ist am Gefäßrand eine Lasche vergehen, durch deren Hochschwenken der Deckel vom Gefäßrand gelöst werden kann.From US 3,753,512 a vessel with a lid is known with the lid rim in the vessel wall, at least after some time, can push in. To loosen the lid, a tab has passed on the edge of the vessel, by swinging up the lid can be detached from the edge of the vessel.

Auch bei der aus der US 3,773,208 bekannten Gefäß-Deckel-Anordung kann der auf den Gefäßrand aufgesteckte und dort klemmend gehaltene Deckel mittels einer am Gefäßrand angelenkten Lasche abgehoben werden.In the case of the vessel-lid arrangement known from US Pat. No. 3,773,208, it can also be placed on the vessel rim put on the lid and hold it there by means of a flap hinged to the rim of the vessel be lifted off.

Weiterhin ist es aus der GB 2 235 920 A bekannt, einen Teil des umlaufenden Gefäßflansches mit einer Sollbruchstelle zu befestigen. Beim erstmaligen Öffnen ist muß dieses Teil zuvor abgebrochen werden, so daß ein Originalitäts Verschluß ausgebildet ist. Schließlich ist noch aus der DE-U88 11 108 ein Originalitätsverschluß bekannt, der am Deckel in Form eines beim erstmalige Öffnen abbrechenden Teils ausgebildet ist. Furthermore, it is known from GB 2 235 920 A to have part of the circumferential vessel flange to fix a predetermined breaking point. When opening for the first time, this part must be be broken off so that an originality closure is formed. Finally, a tamper-evident closure is known from DE-U88 11 108, which is in the form of the lid a part that breaks off when it is opened for the first time is formed.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, bei einem Gefäß der zuvor angegebenen Gattung in jeder beliebigen Position des Deckels zum Eimerrand sowohl einen intensiven Verschluß zwischen dem Eimerrand und dem Deckel zu gewährleisten, ein leichtes Abheben des Deckels von dem Eimerrand zu ermöglichen als auch einem Originalität Verschluß auf einfache und leichte Weise am Gefäß vorzusehen.The object of the present invention is in a vessel previously specified genus in any position of the lid to the bucket edge both an intense occlusion between the Bucket rim and lid to ensure a lightweight To enable the lid to be lifted off the edge of the bucket as well as an originality To provide a closure on the vessel in a simple and easy manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die technischen Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the technical features of patent claim 1.

Bei einer besonders zweckmäßigen Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Gefäßes ist weist die Lasche eine in den Deckelrand hineinragende Sperrnase auf. 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 invention The flap has a tab that protrudes into the edge of the lid Locking nose on. So when the lid is detached from the rim of the vessel should be, this is on the mounting flange of the vessel to pivot the hinged tab so far out that the a slight deformation of the edge of the lid is arranged on the locking lug and thus also detaching it from the mounting flange causes.

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.To support this loosening and lifting of the lid rim is it is also advantageous if adjacent to this previously mentioned Locking lug, but below the molded on the lid edge, inward protruding bar on the outside of the tab or the like protruding to the outside. is molded on the then when swiveling the tab into its release position Lid edge strip can support such that at the same time Lid edge raised in this area and thus from the edge of the vessel is lifted off.

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 rim of the vessel and the rim of the lid also in the area of this tab can be reached if the profile of the tab part protruding into the lid edge is equal to that Profile of the molded on the edge of the vessel, projecting outwards Fixing flange is.

Das 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 Deckels 6 gegenüber dem Eimerrand 3.The vessel is in the present case as one Plastic-made bucket 1 designed, at the bucket opening 2 surrounding edge 3 an outwardly projecting mounting flange 4 is molded. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4 is, the edge 5 of the lid 6 sits in it Closed position on the upper edge 7 of the bucket edge 3, the trough part 8 engaging in the bucket opening 2 of the Cover 6 in its upper area is full and sealing on the inside 9 of the bucket opening 2 abuts. One on the inside 10 of the lid edge 5 integrally formed and protruding ring rib down 11 serves to center the lid 6 relative to the edge of the bucket 3rd

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, on the peripheral outer edge 12 of the lid edge 5 an inwardly projecting annular strip 13 is formed, the in the usual way the mounting flange formed on the bucket edge 3 4 fully and sealingly reaches behind. The profiling of the lid edge 5 and the dimensions of the lid edge 5 molded bar 13 are chosen so that an undesirable Loosen 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.To make it easy and, above all, energy-saving loosening To enable the lid 6 of the bucket edge 3 is, as in particular 1 to 3 and 5 can be seen at the edge of the bucket 3 a link 14 extending over the width b is articulated, which over a film hinge designated 15 with one on the Bucket edge 3 molded web 16 is connected. This tab 14 has, as can be seen from FIG. 5, an angular Profile, the arcuate outer edge 17 of this tab 14th has the same profile as the outer edge 18 of the mounting flange 4. This outer edge 17 of the tab 14 is arcuate Locking nose formed in that shown in FIG. 5 Way protrudes into the lid edge 5 and so a reach behind the molding 13 formed on the lid edge 5 also this Locking nose allows. There are also 19 tabs on the inside 14 still with 2o designated reinforcing ribs.

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, is below this arcuate outer edge 17 on the outside 21 of the tab 14 still a rib-shaped Abutment 22 integrally formed, said bar then 13 between the outer edge 17 and this abutment 22 on the outside 21 the tab 14 fits snugly.

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 off the edge of the bucket 3, then the person using bucket 1 engages behind the lower edge 23 of the tab 14 and gives this tab 14 a pivoting movement in the direction of arrow 24, as shown in FIG. 6 is. With this pivoting movement, the is initially supported molded on the edge of the lid 5 from 13 on the abutment 22 and is in a further pivoting movement of the tab 14 in the radial Pressed outwards, the lid edge 5 deformed in the manner shown in FIG. 6 and this first at least in the area of this tab 14 and finally completely can be lifted off the edge of the bucket 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 takes its in again 5 a rest position shown, so that the cover 6 again be placed on the edge of the bucket 3 in the usual way can.

Um bei dieser Gestaltung des 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.To help with this design of the bucket 1 to ensure a so-called tamper-evident seal, are in the in Figs. 2 and 7 shown way between the two outer edges 25 of the tab 14 and the opposite two end edges 26 of the molded on the bucket edge 3 Fastening flange 4 designated 27 plastic webs arranged which when the tab 14 in the direction of arrow 24th is swung outwards, tear off. Such tearing off this Plastic webs 27 is the effective proof that the tab 14 pivoted from its rest position into its working position has been and thus there is a presumption that the cover 6 in has been unauthorized lifted from the edge of the bucket 3. are the plastic webs 26, however, still with each other opposite edges 25 and 26 connected, so this is given confirmation that tab 14 is still their takes original rest position and not an unauthorized and unauthorized lifting of the bucket lid 6 from the bucket rim 3 takes place is.
