Definitions
- the invention relates to a container with a screw cap, in particular for a cosmetic such as nail polish or the like, with a container neck with an external thread, onto which the screw cap can be screwed with an internal thread, a circumferential shoulder being formed on the container neck in the region below the external thread is and this shoulder has at least one stop in the form of a projection which extends upwards over a certain circumferential angular range from the ring shoulder, and wherein on the lower edge of the screw cap corresponding stop recesses are provided with the stop projections, which when unscrewing the Screw cap can be snapped onto the stop projections, so that the screw cap is fixed in a defined end position with return resistance.
- Such closable containers generally include a plastic closure unit and the actual container, which is made of glass or another plastic. Such containers are used to hold very different products, such as Medicines or cosmetics.
- the closure cap is fixed in a precisely defined angular position relative to the container, since the container is often designed so that the possibly non-circular outer contours of the container and the closure cap are aligned or that at least the container and the closure cap have a decor which should have a uniform appearance when closed.
- the object of the invention is to design a container with a screw closure of the type mentioned in such a way that, despite the inevitable manufacturing tolerances of the actual container, a defined closed state with well-fitting sealing surfaces and a pronounced click effect can be achieved.
- Such a recess provided according to the invention in the form of a complete opening or a weakening of the wall thickness or a recess which may also be open at the bottom leads to increased elasticity in the area of the lower edge of the screw cap, so that an elastic yield when screwing on and an audible and perceptible Locking can be achieved even if the dimensions on the container side fluctuate within a tolerance range.
- the recesses are designed to span the stop recesses in the circumferential direction. By dimensioning the recesses, the required elasticity can practically be set in a targeted manner depending on the selected plastic and the expected tolerance range of the container dimensions.
- the area of the lower edge of the screw cap, which initially encounters the top of the container-side stop projections when screwed on is designed to be inclined in the direction of the thread pitch. This facilitates the initiation of the snap-on process. It is advantageously provided that the inclination corresponds to the thread pitch.
- a further measure to compensate for tolerances on the container side can consist in that at least some of the threads of the internal thread of the screw cap are designed elastically in such a way that a groove that makes the thread flank elastically yielding extends radially inwards from the crest of the respective thread.
- the container is designed, for example, as a nack varnish unit, thus providing an applicator with a handle and a retaining attachment that is snapped into the screw cap, it can be provided that the retaining attachment has a lower annular shoulder such that it snaps into place the stop recess in the stop projections lies flat on the end face of the container mouth, forming a tight connection.
- a unit can also be formed in one or two parts and nevertheless a click effect can be achieved, which was previously not possible with such units.
- a container 1 is shown in the form of a glass bottle for nail polish, which can be closed with a screw cap 2, with a push-on cap 3 being placed on the actual screw cap 2 and accordingly shaping the external appearance.
- the handle 4 of an applicator 5 designed as a brush is inserted into the interior of the screw cap 2, the upper end of the handle 4 being formed in one piece with a holding attachment 6 which is snapped into the interior of the screw cap 2.
- the retaining projection 6 lies flat on the end face 7 of the container 1 with a sealing surface 8, a sealing cone 9 also being provided which engages in the container mouth and lies sealingly in the inner wall 10 of the mouth.
- the neck 11 of the container 1 has an external thread 12, which corresponds to the internal thread 13 of the screw cap 2.
- the internal thread 13 of the screw cap 2 is formed such that the thread flanks 14 are provided with a groove 15 which the thread flanks practically divides and thereby ensures that the thread flanks 14 are slightly resilient to compensate for tolerances.
- the container neck 11 has a circumferential shoulder 16 which has at least one stop 17 in the form of a projection 17 which extends axially away from the shoulder in the embodiment according to FIG. 2.
- the projection 17 extends over a circumferential angle range ⁇ .
- Corresponding stop recesses 19 are provided on the lower edge 18 of the screw cap 2, with a section 20 of these recesses 19 running approximately at right angles to the lower edge 18 coming to rest on a corresponding, right-angled flank 21 of the projections 17 in the screwed-on final state. 2 shows the thread pitch 22 of the internal thread 13 or the external wind 12.
- each stop recess 19 there is a slit-like recess 23 which overlaps this, which makes it possible for the web area 24 above each latching recess 19 during the unscrewing process in the direction of arrow 25, that is to say if the lower edge 18 of the screw cap 2 strikes the top 26 of the stop projections 17, can yield elastically, so that an audible and tactile engagement takes place thereafter when the end position is reached.
- the area 18 ′ of the lower edge 18, which initially encounters the upper side 26 of the stop projections 17 when screwed on, is designed to be inclined in the direction of the thread pitch 22, the inclination approximately corresponding to the thread pitch 22.
- stop projections 17a are likewise provided on the shoulder 16a, with projections projecting radially outward from the bottle neck 11a above the same in the area of the stop shoulder 21a 27a.
- the thread has a steeper pitch 22a and the recesses 23a provided in the area above the lower edge 18a come to lie around the projections 27a when they are screwed on.
- stop projections are no longer provided on the shoulder 16 or 16a, but rather round, cone-shaped projections 27b extend radially outward from the bottle neck 11b.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Behälter mit Schraubkappe, insbesondere für ein Kosmetikum wie Nagellack oder dergleichen, mit einem Behälterhals, mit einem Außengewinde, auf welches die Schraubkappe mit einem Innengewinde aufschraubbar ist, wobei im Bereich unterhalb des Außengewindes an dem Behälterhals eine umlaufende Schulter ausgebildet ist und diese Schulter wenigstens einen Anschlag in Form eines Vorsprungs aufweist, der sich über einen gewissen Umfangswinkelbereich erstreckend von der Ringschulter nach oben vorsteht, und wobei an der Unterkante der Schraubkappe mit den Anschlag-Vorsprüngen korrespondierende Anschlag-Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind, welche beim Aufdrehen der Schraubkappe auf die Anschlag-Vorsprünge aufrastbar sind, so daß die Schraubkappe in einer definierten Endposition mit Rücklaufwiderstand festgelegt ist.The invention relates to a container with a screw cap, in particular for a cosmetic such as nail polish or the like, with a container neck with an external thread, onto which the screw cap can be screwed with an internal thread, a circumferential shoulder being formed on the container neck in the region below the external thread is and this shoulder has at least one stop in the form of a projection which extends upwards over a certain circumferential angular range from the ring shoulder, and wherein on the lower edge of the screw cap corresponding stop recesses are provided with the stop projections, which when unscrewing the Screw cap can be snapped onto the stop projections, so that the screw cap is fixed in a defined end position with return resistance.
Derartige verschließbare Behälter umfassen in der Regel eine Verschließeinheit aus Kunststoff und den eigentlichen Behälter, der aus Glas oder einem anderen Kunststoff besteht. Solche Behälter dienen zur Aufnahme ganz unterschiedlicher Produkte, wie z.B. Arzneimittel oder Kosmetika.Such closable containers generally include a plastic closure unit and the actual container, which is made of glass or another plastic. Such containers are used to hold very different products, such as Medicines or cosmetics.
Bei der Verwendung für ein Kosmetikum, insbesondere wenn es sich um leicht flüchtige Substanzen wie Nagellack handelt, ist es wichtig, daß die den Behälter benutzende Person eine taktile und audiovisuelle Kontrolle darüber hat, daß der Behälter auch wirklich richtig geschlossen ist. Zu diesem Zweck versucht man die Rasteinrichtungen nicht nur so auszubilden, daß die Schraubkappe in ihrer Endlage zuverlässig arretiert und an einem Zurückdrehen gehindert wird, sondern der Einrastvorgang soll auch hörbar und fühlbar sein.When used for a cosmetic, especially if it is a volatile substance such as nail polish, it is important that the person using the container has tactile and audiovisual control that the container is really closed properly. For this purpose, one tries not only to design the locking devices that the screw cap is reliably locked in its end position and prevented from turning back, but the snap-in process should also be audible and tactile.
Gleichzeitig soll gewährleistet sein, daß die Verschlußkappe in einer exakt definierten Drehwinkelposition relativ zu dem Behälter festgelegt ist, da häufig der Behälter so konzipiert ist, daß die gegebenfalls unrunden Außenkonturen von Behälter und Verschlußkappe miteinander fluchten oder daß zumindest Behälter und Verschlußkappe ein Dekor aufweisen, welches im Schließzustand ein einheitliches Erscheinungsbild bieten soll.At the same time, it should be ensured that the closure cap is fixed in a precisely defined angular position relative to the container, since the container is often designed so that the possibly non-circular outer contours of the container and the closure cap are aligned or that at least the container and the closure cap have a decor which should have a uniform appearance when closed.
Letztlich wird auch noch die Forderung gestellt, daß im Schließzustand innere Dichtflächen dichtend aufeinanderliegen, so daß weder Flüssigkeit austreten kann noch flüchtige Komponenten.Ultimately, there is also the requirement that, in the closed state, inner sealing surfaces lie sealingly on one another, so that neither liquid can escape nor volatile components.
Um all diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, sind verschiedene Lösungen entwickelt worden, welche aber jeweils einen Kompromiss insoweit darstellen, als entweder der wünschenswerte Click-Effekt nicht eintritt, keine hinreichend zuverlässige Dichtung erfolgt oder aber die Schraubkappe sich nicht mit der insbesondere bei der Handhabung durch Frauen wünschenswerten Leichtigkeit drehen läßt. Eine wesentliche Ursache dafür, daß keine hinreichend befriedigenden Ergebnisse erzielt werden konnten, liegt darin, daß zwar die Verschlußeinheit aus Kunststoff sehr genau gespritzt werden kann, daß demgegenüber aber die Behälter, insbesondere bei der Herstellung aus Glas, herstellungsbedingt relativ große Toleranzen aufweisen.In order to meet all these requirements, various solutions have been developed, but each represents a compromise insofar as either the desirable click effect does not occur, there is no sufficiently reliable seal, or the screw cap does not become particularly difficult to handle Lets women turn desirable ease. A major reason why it was not possible to achieve sufficiently satisfactory results is that although the closure unit made of plastic can be injected very precisely, the containers, in particular in the case of manufacture from glass, have relatively large tolerances due to the manufacture.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter mit Schraubverschluß der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß trotz unvermeidlicher herstellungsbedingter Toleranzen des eigentlichen Behälters ein definierter Schließzustand mit gut anliegenden Dichtflächen und einem ausgeprägten Click-Effekt erzielbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to design a container with a screw closure of the type mentioned in such a way that, despite the inevitable manufacturing tolerances of the actual container, a defined closed state with well-fitting sealing surfaces and a pronounced click effect can be achieved.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß im Bereich etwa oberhalb jeder Anschlagausnehmung in der Mantelfläche der Schraubkappe eine die Wandstärke verjüngende oder die Wandung durchbrechende Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist.This object is achieved in that in the area approximately above each stop recess in the outer surface of the screw cap a recess tapering the wall thickness or breaking through the wall is provided.
Eine derartige erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Ausnehmung in Form einer vollständigen Durchbrechung oder einer Schwächung der Wandstärke bzw. einer gegebenenfalls auch nach unten hin offenen Ausnehmung führt zu einer erhöhten Elastizität im Bereich der Unterkante der Schraubkappe, so daß ein elastisches Nachgeben beim Aufschrauben und ein hör- und fühlbares Einrasten erzielbar ist, auch wenn die behälterseitigen Maße innerhalb eines Toleranzbereiches schwanken.Such a recess provided according to the invention in the form of a complete opening or a weakening of the wall thickness or a recess which may also be open at the bottom leads to increased elasticity in the area of the lower edge of the screw cap, so that an elastic yield when screwing on and an audible and perceptible Locking can be achieved even if the dimensions on the container side fluctuate within a tolerance range.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Ausnehmungen schlitzartig die Anschlag-Ausnehmungen in Umfangsrichtung übergreifend ausgestaltet sind. Durch die Dimensionierung der Ausnehmungen kann in der Abhängigkeit von dem gewählten Kunststoff und dem zu erwartenden Toleranzbereich der Behälterabmessungen praktisch die erforderliche Elastizität gezielt eingestellt werden.In a further embodiment it is provided that the recesses are designed to span the stop recesses in the circumferential direction. By dimensioning the recesses, the required elasticity can practically be set in a targeted manner depending on the selected plastic and the expected tolerance range of the container dimensions.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Bereich der Unterkante der Schraubkappe, der beim Aufschrauben zunächst auf die Oberseite der behälterseitigen Anschlag-Vorsprünge auftrifft, in Richtung der Gewindesteigung geneigt ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch wird die Einleitung des Aufrastvorganges erleichtert. Dabei ist günstigerweise vorgesehen, daß die Neigung der Gewindesteigung entspricht.Furthermore, it can be provided that the area of the lower edge of the screw cap, which initially encounters the top of the container-side stop projections when screwed on, is designed to be inclined in the direction of the thread pitch. This facilitates the initiation of the snap-on process. It is advantageously provided that the inclination corresponds to the thread pitch.
Eine weitere Maßnahme zum Ausgleich behälterseitiger Toleranzen kann darin bestehen, daß wenigstens ein Teil der Gewindegänge des Innengewindes der Schraubkappe elastisch derart ausgebildet ist, daß sich vom Kamm des jeweiligen Gewindegangs eine die Gewindeflanke elastisch nachgiebig machende Nut radial nach innen erstreckt.A further measure to compensate for tolerances on the container side can consist in that at least some of the threads of the internal thread of the screw cap are designed elastically in such a way that a groove that makes the thread flank elastically yielding extends radially inwards from the crest of the respective thread.
Wenn der Behälter beispielsweise als Nackellack-Einheit ausgestaltet ist, wobei also ein Applikator mit einem Stiel und einem in die Schraubkappe eingerasteten Halteansatz vorgesehen ist, kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Halteansatz eine untere Ringschulter derart aufweist, daß diese beim Einrasten der Anschlag-Ausnehmung in die Anschlag-Vorsprünge plan auf der Stirnseite der Behältermündung unter Ausbildung einer dichten Verbindung anliegt. Eine solche Einheit kann auch ein- oder zweiteilig ausgebildet werden und trotzdem ist, was bisher bei derartigen Einheiten nicht möglich war, ein Click-Effekt erzielbar.If the container is designed, for example, as a nack varnish unit, thus providing an applicator with a handle and a retaining attachment that is snapped into the screw cap, it can be provided that the retaining attachment has a lower annular shoulder such that it snaps into place the stop recess in the stop projections lies flat on the end face of the container mouth, forming a tight connection. Such a unit can also be formed in one or two parts and nevertheless a click effect can be achieved, which was previously not possible with such units.
