Abstract

The top of the vaccine- or drip feed bottle is sealed with a plastic plug (5). An outer cover (4) is held on the seal by an integral metal ring (3) with a central gap (9) for the needle. A separate grip ring (1) under the sealing ring has an inner lipped profile (2) to grip the sealing plug and prevent is being displaced by the needle. The sealing plug (5) has an upper flange (7) which sits on the edge of the bottle and has an outer profile which is gripped by the lipped ring. The ring is further located inside the main sealing ring (3) for a secure fitting. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluß mit Originalitätskappe für Injektions- und Infusionsflaschen, bestehend aus einem Halteteil für eine Dichtung, wobei das Halteteil eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in der die Originalitätskappe formschlüssig angeordnet ist, zwischen Halteteil und Dichtung eine Lochkappe angeordnet ist und die Dichtung einen umlaufenden Wulst aufweist.The invention relates to a closure with tamper-evident cap for injection and Infusion bottles, consisting of a holding part for a seal, the Holding part has a recess in which the tamper evident cap is arranged, a perforated cap between the holding part and seal is arranged and the seal has a circumferential bead.

Verschlüsse der genannten Art haben den Nachteil, daß eine mit gleitfähiger (z.B. mit PTFE beschichteter) Oberfläche versehene Dichtung keinen ausreichenden Halt im Verschluß findet. Beim Durchstoßen mit einem Dorn eines Überleitungs(entnahme)-Gerätes verformt sie sich, rutscht aus ihrem Sitz heraus und fällt in den Flaschenhals. Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Closures of the type mentioned have the disadvantage that one with slippery (e.g. with PTFE coated surface) no seal there is sufficient hold in the closure. When piercing with a thorn of a transfer (removal) device, it deforms and slips out of its seat and falls into the bottle neck. The invention seeks to remedy this.

In US-A-5,080,245 ist ein Verschluß mit Originalitätskappe beschrieben, der aus einem Halteteil mit 'Pull Tab' und Kerbe, einer Dichtung und einer Lochkappe besteht, wobei die Lochkappe über Brücken mit einem Brückenring verbunden ist, der in ein unteres Ende einer abnehmbaren Kappe eingreift. Diese Anordnung fixiert die Kappe bis zum erstmaligen Abnehmen. Dann kann auch die Lochkappe entfernt werden, da sie ihren Zweck erfüllt hat. In US-A-5,080,245 a tamper-evident closure is described which consists of a holding part with a 'pull tab' and notch, a seal and a perforated cap there is, the perforated cap connected by bridges with a bridge ring which engages a lower end of a removable cap. This Arrangement fixes the cap until it is removed for the first time. Then you can too the perforated cap must be removed as it has served its purpose.

Die Aufgabe, den Verschluß beim Durchstoßen mit einem Dorn in Position zu halten, wird durch einen Verschluß der genannten Art gelöst, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Lochkappe einen eingezogenen Lochrand aufweist, und der umlaufende Wulst von der Lochkappe mit ihrem eingezogenen Lochrand umfaßt wird.The task of holding the closure in position with a thorn when piercing it, is solved by a closure of the type mentioned, which thereby is characterized in that the perforated cap one indented hole edge has, and the circumferential Bead is covered by the perforated cap with its retracted edge of the hole.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert.In the following, the invention will be explained using only one embodiment illustrative drawings explained in more detail.

Es zeigt

  • Figur 1 den Verschluß auf einem Flaschenhals geschnitten und
  • Figur 2 die Einzelteile des Verschlusses geschnitten.
    • It shows
  • Figure 1 cut the closure on a bottle neck and
  • Figure 2 cut the individual parts of the closure.

    • Der Verschluß weist ein Halteteil (3) für eine Dichtung (5), z.B. einen Stopfen oder eine Scheibe auf. Das Halteteil (3) ist mit einer Ausnehmung (8) versehen, in die die Spreizsegmente (9) der Originalitätskappe (4) durchgreifen und beim Verschließen des Verschlusses sich um die Ausnehmung (8) legen. Zwischen Halteteil 13) und Dichtung (5) ist eine Lochkappe (1) mit eingezogenem Lochrand (2) angeordnet. Die Dichtung (5) ist mit einem umlaufenden Wulst (7) versehen, den die Lochkappe (1) mit ihrem eingezogenen Lochrand (2) umfaßt. Dadurch wird die Dichtung (5) in ihrer Lage fixiert und kann bei entsprechender Druckbelastung während des Durchstossens nicht mehr in den Flaschenhals (6) ausweichen. Die Dichtung (5) kann zusätzlich oder alternativ auch durch in Richtung Dichtung gebogene Segmente des Halteteils (3) fixiert werden. Die Teile des Verschlusses können alle aus dem gleichen Material (Metall oder Kunststoff) hergestellt sein, was für anstehende Entsorgungsprobleme von Vorteil ist.The closure has a holding part (3) for a seal (5), e.g. a stopper or a disk. The holding part (3) is provided with a recess (8), into which the spreading segments (9) of the tamper-evident cap (4) reach through and at Close the lock around the recess (8). Between Holding part 13) and seal (5) is a perforated cap (1) with a retracted hole edge (2) arranged. The seal (5) is provided with a circumferential bead (7), which the perforated cap (1) with its retracted perforated edge (2). Thereby the seal (5) is fixed in its position and can with appropriate Pressure load during piercing no longer in the bottle neck (6) dodge. The seal (5) can additionally or alternatively by in Segments of the holding part (3) bent in the direction of the seal are fixed. The Parts of the clasp can all be made of the same material (metal or Plastic), what pending disposal problems of Advantage is.

    Claims (1)

    1. A closure with a tamper-indicating cap (4) for injection and infusion bottles, comprising a holding part (3) for a seal (5), the holding part (3) having a recess (8) in which the tamper-indicating cap (4) being arranged in a positive-locking manner, a cap (1) with a hole being arranged between the holding part (3) and the seal (5), and the seal (5) has a circumferential bead (7), wherein the cap (1) with a hole has an edge (2) of the hole which is drawn in and the circumferential bead (7) is surrounded by the cap (1) with the hole and with the edge (2) of its hole drawn in.
