Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap with a snap hinge, in which a hinge tab engages on at least one side on a free-standing web.
  • a closure cap of this type is known from DE-OS 31 50 493.
  • the closure cover is connected in addition to a central hinge via hinge brackets on both sides.
  • the latter form force storage devices which can be switched in their direction of action and which, after a dead center position has been exceeded, loads the closure cover into the extreme positions, that is to say closing and opening.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this situation and to design a generic closure cap with even better spring behavior.
  • a generic cap is optically and functionally improved.
  • the annoying white coloring practically no longer occurs. This is mainly because when the hinged lid is closed (immediately after spraying) the hinge tabs are no longer stretched as much. To do this, the hinge tab merges into the web via a thin point. This leads to an extremely flexible range of movements that even includes the free-standing bridge. The deforming load is no longer transferred to the immediate vicinity of the hinge bracket, resulting in the disadvantage described. As a mental aid, this can be compared to an elastic whip stick with subsequent highly elastic cord.
  • the integrally molded closure cap having a snap hinge which connects the closure housing to the closure lid and has at least one hinge tab
  • the hinge tab at its ends in a step-shaped recess in the wall of the Closure cover or the closure housing free-standing webs attaches, which can be bent out to avoid overextension of the hinge tab.
  • the free-standing webs rooted in the respective component not only find an outward-facing way out in the folding direction of the closure cover, but also an inward-looking escape zone. This leads to a rather large movement bridge with increased resistance to bending forces in the root area of the web itself and greater ease of movement in the subsequent section of the hinge bracket.
  • any exceeding in the sense of plastic deformation is eliminated.
  • the spring characteristic becomes more even overall. This also leads to the desired uniform spring action. Above all, springing back into the old, ie basic demolding position is almost completely achieved. As a rule, this is 180 °, that is to say the closure cover in addition to the closure housing in the parallel axis of its center lines.
  • a further development measure is that the thin point has approximately a fraction of the thickness of the hinge plate. This leads to a particularly smooth movement transition.
  • the ratio of thin point to hinge plate can be 1: 2 or 1: 3. It also proves to be advantageous that the hinge tab has a fraction of the thickness of a web. Here too, a ratio of 1: 2 to 1: 3 is expedient in the order mentioned.
  • the recess providing the free space of the webs or webs is closed off to the periphery of the closure cover and / or the closure housing by means of a pellicle.
  • the creation of such a screen can be mastered in terms of shape by simply cutting back the core forming the recess relative to the desired lateral surface of the closure cover and / or closure housing.
  • the material bridge remaining between the hinge bracket and the jacket wall even increases the spring force of the hinge bracket, so it still supports the spring force in the alternating directions.
  • the thickness of such a cut is approximately 0.2 mm and practically has a film-like mobility. The cuticle also avoids dirt nests.
  • an additional advantageous means of structure-friendly training is that the hinge flap thickened compared to a thin point continuously decreases in width up to the closest distance between the hinge parts (viewed in the opened state) while essentially maintaining the difference in thickness. This no longer concentrates the formation of a geometric axis on a specific narrow area; rather, the difference in thickness brings there is a partial stiffening which, coming from the hinge brackets forming the actual spring elements, continues into the central hinge. The consequence here is a distribution of the folding zones of the hinge. This brings an even more advantageous "floating" hinge point that is practically self-regulating in terms of strength and avoids partial maximum loads. This even compensates for any unfavorable tolerance pairings or small injection molding deviations. There is practically no committee at all in this regard.
  • hinge tabs have an approximately triangular cross-section, at least in the area of the closest distance.
  • This stiffening rib which is triangular in cross-section and sits on the hinge bracket, poses no problem at all in terms of injection technology. Its exposed position disappears in the already existing cavities of the closure cap, in that the triangle tip, when the closure cap is closed, points towards the inside thereof.
  • the closure cap 1 that can be assigned to a container (not shown) is made of plastic, preferably PP.
  • the assignment can be of a screw type; A bouncing or a direct molding of the container is also conceivable.
  • Components of the closure cap 1 are an essentially cylindrical closure housing 2 with an integrally molded closure cover 3, preferably a circular outline.
  • the closure lid 3 has a pot-shaped shape and can carry a centrally or decentrally located stopper element, which seals a congruent lying opening of an outlet spout in the ceiling of the closure housing 2 (not shown).
  • the snap hinge 4 realized as a film hinge lies in the region of a tangent of the two components which form the closure cap 1.
  • the snap hinge 4 is composed of a so-called center hinge 5 and two outer drawstrings lying to the side, referred to as hinge tabs 6.
  • Center hinge 5 and hinge brackets 6 thus form the gusset-shaped gap 7 between the two connected parts spanning material bridges.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4. The material bridge shown in FIG. 4 is relatively short, but is still significantly wider than the thickness measured in the vertical plane. So there remains a certain ability to self-set up for the "hinge axis formation" of this flap-like bridge zone. It forms the geometric hinge axis x-x. In the area of the hinge brackets 6, this bridge is considerably longer, as can be seen from FIG. 3 and also from the top views, e.g. Figure 2 becomes clear.
  • Both the material bridge of the center hinge 5 and the material bridge forming the hinge tabs 6 are based on free-standing webs 8.
  • the latter extend parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the rotationally symmetrical components, that is to say the closure housing 2 and the closure cover 3.
  • the webs 8 are small in cross-section and predominantly curved slightly in the circumferential direction. Their length is several millimeters.
  • the recess 9 is, in particular in the radial direction, of a width 9 such that the free-standing webs 8 can move like a whip like a whip under the action of the hinge forces. Added to this is the even greater flexibility of the bridge-forming or film-forming sections on the central hinge 5 and that of the hinge brackets 6. This has the consequence that practically no so-called whitening occurs at all. The cap keeps its fresh look. The overall vessel remains attractive.
  • the free-standing webs 8 form a resilient resistance to the folding forces of the snap hinge 4. They have their greatest stability in the root region of the step-shaped recess 9, but this increasingly merges into a flexible end zone, to which the hinge tabs 6 then attach like a whip cord. If additional forces occur transversely to the step-shaped recess 9, they flow into the entire bending supply, which effectively prevents overextension of the bendable hinge plates 6.
  • the hinge tabs 6 have a thickness which corresponds to a fraction of the thickness of the web 8.
  • the hinge bracket 6 is approximately half as thick as the associated web (s) 8.
  • the hinge bracket 8 connects at least to one web 8.
  • the hinge straps 6 pass into the web or webs 8 via an intermediate thin point 10.
  • This thin point 10 results particularly clearly from FIG. 3.
  • the thin point 10 has approximately a fraction of the thickness of the hinge plate 6.
  • the thin point 10 is approximately half as thick as the hinge tabs 6 forming the material bridge and embodying the external suspension of such snap hinges 4.
  • the thin point 10 is arched in the demolding position of the molding shown in FIG. 3.
  • the arranged radial web point 8 bears the reference number 11.
  • the inner vertex and outer vertex of the clearly curved thin section 10 run parallel. While the outer curve runs relatively steeply into the upper end edge of the web 8, the other end of this curve merges towards the top of the hinge plate 6 into a notch-preventing flank 12.
  • the slope of this flank 12 is 45 ° to the horizontal extension of the hinge bracket 6.
  • the recess 9 of both the webs 8 of the center hinge 5 and the hinge brackets 6 is each formed by U-shaped grooves which extend from the upper end edge of the respective part.
  • the groove width corresponds continuously, ie also in the region of its U-legs, to the thickness of the webs 8 or the thickness of the wall 13 of the closure housing 2 and the closure cover 3.
  • the wall 13 therefore assumes an offset in the region of the recess 9. The offset is directed inwards so that the cylindrical jacket wall of both parts, that is to say the closure housing 2 and the closure cover 3, can remain cylindrical.
  • the wall 13 of the closure housing 2, as can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 17, is designed to be somewhat thicker than that of the closure cover 2.
  • FIG. 17 can also be seen that the wall edges have roundings that are more convenient for demoulding.
  • the bottom of the cutouts 9 also has such like all other corners and edges.
  • the web 8 of the recess 9 which is adapted to the curvature of the jacket wall of the said parts extends in the first and second exemplary embodiments behind the hinge brackets 6 which provide the lateral suspension, in the third exemplary embodiment they are behind the webs 8 forming part of the central hinge 5.
  • the central suspension acts here.
  • the fifth embodiment shows a mixed form, i. H. the recess 9 extends continuously both behind the webs 8 of the central hinge 5 and behind the webs 8 of the hinge straps 6 lying to the side.
  • the snap hinge 4 has a total of six resilient legs, formed by the webs 8, three per part.
  • the sixth and seventh exemplary embodiment differ only in that the recesses 9 and webs 8 are not butterfly-like in the sense of the curvature of the cylindrical jacket wall, but in the shortest way cross-gap the connection to the two parts via parallel folds to axis xx bring. There are therefore straight connections or straight hinge brackets 6 parallel to the space.
  • the above-described curvature of the recess 9 and the webs 8 is the same as that described above. Only the external recesses 9 open parallel to the folding plane y-y of the closure cap 1.
  • the recesses 9 can be closed to the outside, that is to say to the outer wall of the closure cap 1. This is realized in some of the exemplary embodiments shown, but can also apply to all solutions.
  • the procedure was such that the recess 9 providing the described clearance of the webs or webs 8 to the periphery, that is to say the outer surface of the closure cover 3 and / or the closure housing 2, are closed off by a skin 14. Its thickness is approximately 0.2 mm. It closes the outwardly facing ends of the U-legs of the U-shaped recess 9, forming a panel.
  • Such a material bridge that closes the jacket wall is highly flexible. It also has a positive effect in the sense of the desired suspension.
  • An opening 15 also separates the material bridges forming the hinge tabs 6 from the material bridge forming the central hinge 5.
  • the achieved high resilience property of the means bringing the suspension brings a resilience of the closure cover 3 close to the 180 ° demolding position into this position.
  • the spring forces act to a high degree in the sense of the closed position of the closure cap 1.
  • the eighth exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 to 21 also embodies the basic principle described in detail above.
  • the reference numbers are therefore used analogously, sometimes without repetition of text.
  • the further developing main feature of this solution consists in the fact that the hinge flaps 6 thickened in relation to the thin places 10 are now continuously reduced in width up to a narrowest distance z between the hinge parts 6 (compare unfolded position in FIG. 18). In doing so, they essentially maintain the vertical difference in thickness compared to the thickness of said thin spots 10.
  • each thin section accounts for 10 90 ° of the 180 ° folding angle. This protects the structure and increases the service life.
  • center hinge 5 is also converted into a distinct curvature in accordance with the butterfly-like design of the snap hinge 4 together with the hinge tabs 6, there are also cooperating, cheapest usable restoring forces.
  • the course of the curvature can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 19, here seen from the curvature side which rises on the visible side (view in the direction A).
  • the opening 15 described lies between the central hinge 5, which is connected above to the webs 8 described in detail via the thin points 10, and the hinge plates 6 on the outside, which form spring elements.
  • the thickening made in relation to the thin areas 10 appears on the hinge tabs 6 as a trapezoidal plateau which tapers continuously in the direction of the folding plane y-y.
  • This trapezoidal plateau then adjoins the front ends of the central hinge 5 in a corresponding manner, but then, with a further reduction in the plateau triangular surface 17 which points out toward y-y, taper into a common tip 18 of a rib 19 which is triangular in cross section.
  • the triangular rib 19 can be equilateral. This means that one side is rooted in the upwardly bulging, mutually directed, flat outer surface portions of the thin spots 10.
  • the other triangular sides are the extensions of the flanks 12 leading to the cross-sectional trapezoidal shape.
  • the hinge tabs 6 could also start from such free-standing webs 8, the background of which has the described recess 9.
  • the entire hinge zone extends over a jacket or circumferential length of the cylindrical cap 1, which corresponds approximately to the radius R of the same.
  • the radius R ' corresponds to the counter-concave arches which bring the butterfly-like structure, defined by the thin points 10, likewise approximately the radius R.
  • the hinged hinge shown can also have a non-circular or oval cross section.
