Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary closure in the preamble of Claim 1 mentioned Art.
  • twist lock in the Neck of a container a plug forming the body with the help of a one-piece Suspension used.
  • the stopper consists of a coaxial central post attached to the its axial end one with an axial through hole of the rotary cover cooperating valve body carries. With the help of the suspension, the coaxial Middle post and thus also the valve body with the rotating lid closed axially be pressed inwards, creating the through hole in the rotating lid is released so that the container can be filled from the outside.
  • the rotating lid is partially unscrewed, whereby the through hole of the rotary cover of the valve body in the axial Direction away to reveal a free outlet cross section.
  • the stopper or the suspension holding the mullion comprises radial ribs on the Inner lateral surface of the body are fixed and with the coaxial mullion are connected.
  • DE-A-26 24 354 discloses a dispenser for distributing flowable, liquid Adhesive known, the one of the hollow cylindrical body receiving the adhesive and has a hollow cylindrical sleeve placed on the upper part thereof opens into a discharge surface having a circular cylindrical shape at the top.
  • the Body has a recess formed on its upper part Screw thread, which with a on the inner surface of the sleeve as Projection trained corresponding screw thread meshes to a To form a thread that is axial when the sleeve is rotated by approximately 180 ° Displacement of the sleeve relative to the body causes.
  • each other axial sides of the sleeve and the body run in one to the axis of the body plane inclined by a certain angle, this angle from the Slope of the threads depends.
  • These axial sides are essentially aligned with one another.
  • On the top Part of the body is one with a narrow cannula extending upwards screwed cap.
  • the cannula forms one at its free end circular cylindrical discharge surface of small diameter to liquid adhesive in small quantities or in areas with limited dimensions to be able to apply.
  • the sleeve with the help of the thread in the axial direction upwards until the Discharge surface of the sleeve is aligned with the discharge surface of the cannula to create a to form a relatively large discharge area for applying adhesive.
  • the upper The cannula can be opened with the sleeve lowered using a separate cap be closed, which is attached to the sleeve via a flexible retaining strap.
  • the object of the invention is to design such a twist lock so that it is simple to manufacture, easy to use and unimpeded Dispensing of contents contained in the body enables.
  • this task is performed by the characterizing part of claim 1 specified features.
  • the rotary lock according to the invention is characterized in that the Rotary cover with the help of the elliptical guide elements an axial displacement to the body when it is rotated 180 ° relative to it.
  • the rotating lid in the open position of the container however, not detached from the body, but rather becomes one in that Rotary cover axially or radially provided opening to open in the body to be able to deliver existing contents to the outside.
  • the facing each other axial side edges of both the rotating lid and the body run in one inclined at a certain angle with respect to the axis of the body Level.
  • the screw cap and body of the screw cap are also in normal operation the open position are not separated from each other, they are considered separate Items preferably made of plastic, which makes them different Colors can have to give the aesthetic impression of the twist lock optimize.
  • the rotating lid 1 has one engaging in the interior of the container 2 Shell surface 6, in which they in the radial direction penetrating opening 9 is provided.
  • Embodiment of the twist lock is the provided previously described embodiment radial opening 9 in the rotating lid 1 with a dispensing spout 10 provided by a hinge joint 18 on the outer surface 6 of the rotating lid 1 is articulated.
  • the twist lock is the dispensing spout 10 by hand or swung outward by the action of gravity, so that about them the contents in the container 2 can be deliberately released to the outside.
  • 3a to 3c is a further embodiment of the twist lock shown to the versatile Applicability of such a screw cap also for to show other purposes.
  • this embodiment serves the rotating cover 1 for closing a tube or a hollow cylindrical rod, e.g. For Towel holder or the like can be used.
  • On the in the Interior of the body 2 engaging outer surface 6 of the Rotary cover 1 is a locking projection 7 with the help of grooves 19 arranged resiliently.
  • This locking tab 7 can in a in the inner surface of the Engage body 2 provided locking recess 8, as shown in particular in Fig. 3b.
  • Locking projection 7 and locking recess 8 can not only be arranged in the manner shown here be in which the rotating lid 1 in the "Open position" of the body 2 is locked. As before previously explained, diverge in this "open position” the mutually facing axial sides 4 and 5 of the rotating cover 1 and the body 2.
  • locking projection 7 and locking recess 8 in a manner not shown here also be arranged so that they lock together, when the rotating cover 1 is in its "closed position" located in which the mutually facing axial Pages 4 and 5 are aligned.
  • rotating lid 1 and the body 2 as separate Parts made for each. Preferably be these parts are injection molded from plastic or in another Manufactured way.
  • Rotary lid 1 and body 2 can therefore have different colors to match the aesthetic To further optimize the impression of the screw cap.
  • the rotating lid 1 can be different on its outside Shaping and patterning around the aesthetic impression of the required requirements and adapt applications. It can also Rotating lid 1 against another rotating lid 1 at one otherwise the same screw cap can be replaced.
