Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lid for a container which has an inwardly folded bead on its open side, with a plurality of lugs engaging under the bead on substantially opposite sides, at least part of which is a slide which acts as a closure element of the lid , is guided on this and with the help of an actuating element which is arranged on the top of the lid, between a closed position in which the lid is fixed to the container and the slide is locked by a locking element, and, after actuation of the locking element, an open position in which the lid can be opened, whereby the contents of the container are accessible, can be moved, the locking element being formed by at least two catches which snap into a respective recess in the lid in the closed position.
  • a container for in particular free-flowing products is known from European patent specification 0 478 687, which has such a lid.
  • the disadvantage of the lid described in this patent specification is that when the lid is opened after the slide has been brought into the open position by actuating the actuating element, there is no longer a stable connection to the container, ie the lid must be removed completely from the container. This occupies both hands of the operator. Since such containers are usually intended for a part of the content to be removed with a dosing cup after opening the lid, handling is difficult. To When the lid is opened, the user has the lid in one hand and the container in the other hand. For further handling of the dosing cup, it is therefore necessary to put the lid down, which is undesirable for reasons of contamination with the contents of the container. Furthermore, the containers used are often of considerable size and weight, which makes handling with one hand difficult or completely impossible.
  • Another disadvantage of the known container lid is that the function of the locking element used is insufficient.
  • the arrangement of the locking elements described in the cited patent in the various embodiments has the aim of serving as a child safety device since the containers in question often contain substances which are hazardous to health.
  • the resilient parts of the locking element quickly become fatigued, as a result of which the function as a child lock is lost.
  • the known locking elements on the lids are designed so that the surface of the lid is interrupted in certain areas. This can result in the danger that in the open position of the slide or when it is actuated, water, which is on the surface of the lid due to a possibly moist environment, penetrates into the container, which would impair the quality or the usability of the contents.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a lid that overcomes the disadvantages mentioned by allowing one-handed operation of the container after opening or improving the functional reliability of the locking element acting as a child safety device.
  • This object is achieved according to a first aspect of the invention in that on the top of the cover above the recess in question there is a depressible pressure surface for each catch, which can be pressed onto the respective catch to disengage it.
  • This offers the advantage that the individual can be disengaged Required force can be adjusted by the construction of the pressure surfaces, which increases the functional reliability of the locking element.
  • the lid is characterized in that, in the vicinity of the engaging lugs, which are not part of the slider, it has a hinge element which extends across the lid, and that the part of the lid on which the slider and the actuating element are arranged, can be folded around the hinge element in the open position of the slide.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the lid has a substantially rectangular shape, the outer dimensions of which are slightly larger than that of the essentially rectangular container. It is particularly advantageous if the hinge element runs parallel to a short side surface of the cover. In this way, a lid is provided which enables a large part of the open side of the container to be exposed by opening the lid, which simplifies the removal of the contents of the container. In the case of a drum-shaped container, the hinge element runs along a chord of the cover, which in this case is circular.
  • the pressure surfaces consist of tabs which are cut out on three sides in a U-shape from the upper surface of the cover, the fourth side of the tab forming a hinge connection with the cover.
  • the pressure surfaces are formed by areas with material weakening in the cover.
  • This design of the printing surfaces is particularly suitable for lids that are attached Containers are used whose contents are sensitive to moisture and which are used in a moist environment.
  • the hinge element is formed by an area with material weakening in the lid or by a cutting line with a bridging by a film strip.
  • the former construction variant saves additional hinge parts and the production of the cover can, for. B. in a single injection molding or deep-drawing process, if the lid consists for example of a plastic.
  • Fig. 1 an inventive lid 1 is shown in a view from below, which is intended for an essentially rectangular container.
  • lugs 3 which, when applied to the container, engage under a bulge which is located at the upper edge of the container and fix the rear region of the lid to the container.
  • a generally approximately plate-shaped slide 5 is arranged on the underside of the cover 1.
  • the slide 5 has on a second short side edge of the cover, which is opposite the first short side of the cover equipped with the fixed lugs 3, three further lugs 7, which are part of the slide 5.
  • the lugs 7 can be separate parts which are connected to the slide 5 via connecting elements.
  • the slide 5 slides in a wide groove 9 formed on the underside of the cover, additional sliding elements 11 being provided on the long sides of the slide.
  • the channel 9 is formed by a wall-like, elongated bulge 13 which projects downward from the cover and surrounds the circumference of the cover and against which the sliding elements 11 rest.
  • a hinge element 15 runs across the cover, in the area of which the circulation of the bulge 13 is interrupted.
  • the lugs 7 of the slide 5 penetrate the bulge 13, for which purpose slots 17 are provided in the bulge 13 for receiving and guiding the lugs 7.
  • the slide 5 is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the cover and is carried perpendicular to the plane of the cover by means of the lugs 7 guided in the slots 17 on the one hand and by a holding element 19 on the side of the slide 5 opposite the lugs 7.
  • the lugs 7 When the slide 5 is in a (shown in Fig. 1) closed position, the lugs 7 are close to the facing them the second short side edge of the lid 1 and, if the lid is on the container, reach under the bead at the top of the Container. In contrast, the slide 5 is brought into an open position, i.e. H. If the lugs 7 are removed by moving the slide 5 in the longitudinal direction of the lid 1 from the second short side edge of the lid 1, the lugs 7 no longer engage under the bulge of the container. However, the lugs 7 are still guided in the slots 17 of the bulge 13 even in the open position.
  • the Part of the lid, in which the slide is arranged can be opened upward from the container due to the hinge element 15.
  • FIG. 2 shows the cover 1 in a view from above.
  • an actuating element 21 is attached to the slide 5, which extends through a first window-like recess 23 in the cover 1 and is guided therein. With the aid of the actuating element 21, the slide 5 can be displaced from the top of the cover 1 between the closed position and the open position.
  • two tabs 25 are cut out in a U shape in the cover 1.
  • the tabs 25 serve as a pressure surface and are each generated by a U-shaped incision 27 in the lid surface.
  • the not incised boundary line of the tabs 25 represents a hinge area for the respective tab.
  • the slide 5 has two notches 29.
  • the tabs 25 are slightly cranked in the example shown and are thus raised slightly above the surrounding surface of the cover 1, so that one each under the tabs 25 Recess 31 is formed.
  • the catches 29 snap into the respective recesses 31.
  • both catches 29 must be disengaged from the cutouts 31. This is done by simultaneously depressing the two tabs 25, the tabs opposing the applied depressing force with a spring force, the size of which depends on the type of material, the material thickness and the size of the tabs, in particular the length of the edge of the tabs connected to the cover.
  • the slide 5 can be moved into the open position by actuating the actuating element 21, the catches 29 at the end of the displacement path engage in small end position recesses 33 arranged in the cover 1, as a result of which the slide is slightly locked in the open position. Due to the wedge-shaped design of the end position recesses 33, however, it is possible to move the slide 5 back into the closed position without actuating the tabs 25 serving as pressure surfaces.
  • the hinge element 15 consists of a foil-bridged cut-apart cut in the cover 1.
  • the hinge element 15 extends essentially over the entire width of the cover. In order to make it possible to open the region of the lid which comprises the slide 5, the vertical side faces of the lid which surround the bead of the container are cut open in the region of the hinge element 15.
  • the fixed lugs 3 in the embodiment shown are designed as spring lugs, whereby the reaching under the lugs 3 under the bead of the container can be reached by pressing on the lid and snapping the lugs.
  • FIG. 4 shows in detail the holding element 19, which holds the slide 5 in position and enables it to slide along the cover 1. It consists of a stopper-like part which is fastened in the cover 1 and projects from it downwards with a widened end, the upper surface areas of which carry and guide the slide. A truncated pyramid-shaped design of the lower end of the holding element 19 enables the slider 5 to be simply snapped on during assembly. Alternatively, the holding element can only be mounted on the cover 1 after the slide has been inserted.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the cover according to the invention, which differs only in the dimensions and in the number of fixed lugs 3 from the embodiment described above.
  • the pressure surfaces are not made of tabs 25, but are formed by a corresponding weakening of material from the underside of the cover, which likewise forms a recess 31 for the respective catch 29.
  • the material weakenings are designed in such a way that the surface of the cover can be pressed in by a compressive force in the area of the material weakenings in the direction of the catches 29 in order to disengage the catches 29 from the recesses 31.
  • hinge element 15 in other embodiments, other variants of the hinge element 15 are possible, for. B. the use of an axis of rotation or the arrangement of a weakened area.
  • the most varied forms of noses and the most varied arrangements of the catches are known.
  • the invention relates to all variants of notches and noses which are known from the prior art and are accessible to the construction principle of the present invention.
  • the number of printing areas and the associated notches can vary.
  • the printing surfaces can be arranged side by side or one behind the other.
  • embodiments are also suitable in which two offset catches one after the other snap into one and the same recess.
  • individual wider lugs or a large number of small lugs are suitable.
  • the construction of the holding element 19 can be changed in shape and size. Separate parts that are attached to the lid or integral elements with the lid can be used. It is also possible to adapt the guidance of the slide 5 in the groove 9 of the cover 1 to different requirements. Depending on the size and shape of the cover, separate guide rails or guide elements integral with the cover are suitable.
