Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure cap according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a closure cap of this type is from FR-A-2 329 529 known.
- FR-A-2 329 529 describes a sealing cap for one Container, the container neck provided with an opening has a threaded bead, the cap a Has thread groove, the width of the height of the cap is the same size.
- Two one above the other at a distance Flank webs of adjacent thread grooves of the closure cap are elastic, so that by an elastic Deformation of the flank webs between the on the thread bead of the Contact surface of the container neck creates a frictional force which causes additional self-locking.
- Such caps are used in particular for closing of containers in which perishable contents, such as food or cosmetic products.
- By the screw cap should ensure that a repeated closing to seal the container opening possible after removing content from the container as often as required is.
- the invention has for its object a closure cap to create the type mentioned above, even with repeated Closing a container opening a secure seal the container opening allows.
- the thread groove is limited Flank webs are different in cross-section. Of the one flank is relatively rigid while the other Flank web is flexible. Furthermore, the distance is the opposite flank webs between adjacent thread grooves dimensioned so that the relatively flexible Flank web at deflection on the relatively rigid flank web can support.
- This cap has an excessive load one flank through the support on the other Flank web avoided.
- the cap is therefore special suitable to absorb large loads caused by accordingly large screwing moments applied to the flank webs become. This is the case, for example, when the closure cap to close a pressurized Container is used because here for a secure seal the container opening also the internal pressure of the container by a correspondingly increased pretension of the closure cap must be compensated.
- flank webs are of different lengths, as a result of this Have areas defined in which the clamping effect of the Thread groove not as a result of the spreading of the flank webs or is only available to a limited extent. If so different long formation of the flank webs adjacent to a cap opening is provided such that a flank the thread groove ends before the other flank web screwing the cap onto the container opening each according to the difference in length of the flanks at least in the area of first thread easier.
- a separate seal enables the selection a plastic material for the cap, which in particularly meets the elasticity requirements, without having to simultaneously meet the requirements for a sealing material, such as a good surface formability.
- Fig. 1 shows a closure cap 31 on a container neck 11 is partially screwed on.
- the cap 31 has a cylindrical cap jacket that is opposite a cap opening merges into a head wall.
- a sealing washer 16 is used in a recess 15 on the underside of the head wall .
- the sealing washer 16 can also be a spherical cap-shaped projection or a Plug on the underside of the head wall as a seal.
- the cap jacket is provided on the inside with a thread groove 17, the one for receiving an outside on the container neck arranged threaded bead 18 is used.
- the thread groove 17 is in width by an upper and delimits a lower flank web 19, 32 which is a usual replace one-piece thread cord. Between the flanks 19 and 32 of the adjacent threads are at a distance.
- flank webs 19, 32 can in their to the cap opening the beginning of the thread is of unequal length be. So the thread start of the upper flank can 19 almost one thread further towards the cap opening as the thread start of the lower one Flank web 32 extend.
- Fig. 1 From an overall view of Fig. 1 it follows that the cap 31 in the screwing-on phase shown in FIG. 1 over one revolution on a threaded bead 18 of the container neck 11 is screwed on. This results from one smaller than a width of the threaded bead 18 Width of the thread groove 17, which is part of the thread bead 18 picks up a spread between the top and bottom Flank webs 19, 32, the flank web 19 being deflected becomes.
- Fig. 2 shows the cap 31 in the screwed End position so that the threaded bead 18 is completely in the Thread groove 17 has penetrated. 2 also shows that the spread of the flank 19, 32 accordingly is far advanced, so that the threaded bead 18th in the thread groove 17 of the closure cap 31, with the exception, for example the first half of the lower end of the threaded bead 18, is recorded.
- the cap 31 there is a sealing washer 16 sealingly on an end face Opening edge 28 of the container neck 11.
- the cap 31 with the container neck 11 an axial sealing force in the direction of the central axis of the container neck 11 exerted on the sealing disk 16.
- This sealing force is kept in balance by an opposite acting axial component by the elastic Restoring forces of the flank web 19 in the contact area the threaded bead 18 caused friction. Prevent it the elastic restoring forces acting on the threaded bead 18 the flank web 19 an automatic loosening of the cap 31 on the container neck 11.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 thus show a closure cap 31, the upper flank web 19 and lower flank web 32 different are trained.
- the flank 32 has opposite Flank web 19 is an enlarged cross section and is thus more rigid.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 for different screwing phases is shown that only the upper, more flexible, thinner flank cross-section 19 is deflected by the threaded bead 18 and the lower, more rigid, cross-sectionally thicker flank 32 at one Spreading of the flank webs 19, 32 by the threaded bead 18 in remains essentially undeformed.
- a distance d between that upper flank web 19 and the lower flank web 32 is included dimensioned so that the more flexible flank 19 on more rigid flank web 32 can support.
- This is the thread groove 17 in the illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 Embodiment of the cap 31 capable, particularly absorb high screwing forces and therefore accordingly to generate high sealing forces.
