Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a closure of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 for a bottle or the like.
  • a closure in which, in addition to the radial sealing face on the face, axial sealing surfaces are provided in the region of the mouth edge of a bottle, into which the sealing compound of the seal extends.
  • the sealing part is deep-drawn and extends around the mouth of the bottle so as to form the outer, axial sealing surface.
  • the essence of this known closure should consist in the fact that the sealing part, at least in a partial area at the transition from the sealing part to the holding part, is not deep-drawn down to the lateral mouth edge of the neck of the bottle, but is rather excluded from such a deformation. In this way, a reduced sealing distance is to be created in the undeformed partial area, which, due to its brevity, should result in less tightness.
  • a closure for a bottle or the like which has a cap-shaped holding part on which there is an inward projection or collar for engaging behind an outer bead of a bottle neck.
  • This holding part is connected via an elastic element to a sealing part with an annular sealing surface for contact with an end face of the bottle neck.
  • the holding part has a stop for the defined contact of the holding part on the edge of the bottle neck. Since the sealing part also abuts the edge of the bottle neck, the mutual position of the holding part and the sealing part is precisely defined. Since the elastic element for prestressing the sealing part is located between the two, the size of the prestressing of the elastic element is also precisely defined and thus the pressure at which the sealing part lifts off, that is to say opens the pressure relief valve.
  • a screw cap of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known, in which between the bottom of the screw cap and the front edge of the bottle neck is a seal made of foam, which has different thicknesses in its cross section in a diametrical direction .
  • the sealing force is therefore less in the areas of reduced thickness, and these areas are intended to serve as a pressure relief valve.
  • the opening pressure depends on the compression of the entire seal and is therefore not independent of the screwing torque. If the screwing is done with too little torque, the areas of reduced thickness are not brought into contact, the seal is not tight.
  • the inside of the bottle for example a beverage liquid
  • the manufacturing tolerances or impurities on the end face of the bottle rim or on the seal make it impossible to seal the seal on the end face of the bottle neck.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a method for the simple manufacture of a closure which is simple in structure and opens reliably at a predetermined excess pressure largely independently of the screwing-on torque.
  • the invention frees itself from the known idea of shortening the sealing distance or pressing the sealing part as a whole against the mouth of the bottle neck via an elastic element. Rather, the basic idea of the invention is to create a seal, stop and elastic element in one operation.
  • a likewise flat sealing washer 18 is inserted into a cap-shaped closure, consisting of holding part 16 and sealing part 17, which is flat. Everything is then placed in the direction of an arrow 19 on the end of a bottle neck 20, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a stamp 21 is then in the direction of an arrow 22 pressed against the sealing part 17.
  • the stamp 21 there is a recess 23, from which a projection 24 protrudes, which presses into the sealing part 17 when the stamp 21 is pressed on and produces recesses there at distant locations, as can be seen from FIG. 3.
  • a thread 27 as well as a collar 28 are produced by means not shown by pressing from the outside onto the holding part 16, which serves to make the first opening of the bottle visible.
