Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Behälter mit einer Schraubkappe für Nagellack, Mascaraflüssigkeit od.dgl., wobei der Behälter aus einem relativ harten Material wie Glas, Hartkunststoff od.dgl. besteht, und wobei die Schraubkappe im Schließzustand relativ zu dem Behälter eine exakt definierte Winkelstellung einnehmen soll, um für eine exakte Positionierung von Außenkonturen, Bechriftungen od.dgl. zu sorgen, wobei zur Erzielung einer derartigen Endlage an der Schraubkappe bzw. im Gewindebereich des Behälters korrespondierende Anschläge vorgesehen sind. Ein derartiger Behälter ist beispielsweise aus FR-A-2 517 635 bekannt.The invention relates to a container with a screw cap for Nail polish, mascara liquid or the like., With the container from a relative hard material such as glass, hard plastic or the like. exists, and where the screw cap in the closed state relative to the container is an exact should take a defined angular position in order to ensure exact positioning of outer contours, labeling or the like. to take care of, achieving such an end position on the screw cap or in the threaded area corresponding stops of the container are provided. Such one Container is known for example from FR-A-2 517 635.
Ein typischer Behälter der in Betracht stehenden Art wird durch ein Nagellackfläschchen aus Glas mit einer zum Verschließen dienenden Schraubkappe aus Kunststoff gebildet. Wenngleich die Erfindung hierauf nicht besehränkt ist, wird nachfolgend vor allem auf diesen Anwendungsfall abgestellt.A typical container of the type under consideration is provided by a bottle of nail polish made of glass with a screw cap for closing made of plastic. Although the invention is not limited to this is mainly based on this application.
Derartige Nagellackfläschchen weisen häufig einen unrunden Querschnitt auf, der von der Schraubkappe in ihrer Außenkontur fortgesetzt wird. Hierdurch können interessante Designs realisiert werden und außerdem läßt sich eine beispielsweise querschnittlich ovale Schraubkappe aufgrund günstigerer Hebelverhältnisse leichter handhaben. Damit nach dem erstmaligen Befüllen und nach jedem Gebrauch die gesamte Verpackungseinheit ein attraktives Aussehen bietet, muß sichergestellt sein, daß die Konturen von Behälter und Verschlußkappe bzw. von Behälterdekor und Verschlußkappendekor miteinander fluchten bzw. eine exakte Relativlage zueinander aufweisen. Die Verschlußkappe aus Kunststoff weist auch häufig einen Anspritzpunkt auf, der z.B. ebenfalls in einer vorbestimmten Position zu liegen kommen soll. Bei Nagellackflaschen ist es darüber hinaus wichtig, daß eine zuverlässige Abdichtung zwischen Verschlußkappe und Behälter erzielt wird, um einerseits das Auslaufen von Flüssigkeit und andererseits das Austreten von flüchtigen, gasförmigen Bestandteilen, wie z.B. flüchtigen Lösungsmittelkomponenten, zu vermeiden. Insbesondere aufgrund der flüchtigen Komponenten und zur Vermeidung eines unbeabsichtigten Umstossens soll bei Nagellackfläschchen auch ein rasches Öffnen und Schließen möglich sein, so daß es wünschenswert ist, ein Gewinde mit relativ hoher Steigung einzusetzen. Weiterhin besteht zur gefühlsmäßigen und akustischen Kontrolle eines festen Verschließens gerade bei Einheiten mit flüchtigen Komponenten ein besonderes Bedürfnis. Der Benutzer soll also beim Verschließen, ohne hierauf besondere Aufmerksamkeit verwenden zu müssen, eine definierte Endposition erreichen und darüber hinaus eine akustische und taktile Rückmeldung erhalten, daß die Verschlußkappe in der Schließposition eingerastet ist.Such nail polish bottles often have a non-circular cross-section on, which is continued by the screw cap in its outer contour. This allows interesting designs to be realized and also For example, a cross-sectional oval screw cap can be used handle leverage more easily. So after the first time Fill and the entire packaging unit after each use To provide an attractive appearance, make sure that the contours of container and cap or of container decor and cap decoration aligned with each other or an exact relative position to each other exhibit. The plastic closure cap also frequently has a gating point on, e.g. also in a predetermined position should come to lie. With nail polish bottles, it is also important that a reliable seal between the cap and container is achieved on the one hand the leakage of liquid and on the other hand the escape of volatile gaseous components, e.g. fleeting Solvent components to avoid. Especially due to the volatile components and to avoid accidental knocking over should also open and close quickly for nail polish bottles be possible, so it is desirable to have a relatively high thread Slope. There is also emotional and acoustic Control of tight locking especially for units with volatile Components a special need. So the user should Lock without paying special attention to it, reach a defined end position and also an acoustic one and tactile feedback received that the cap in the Closed position is engaged.
Es sind zwar für Behälter aus relativ weichem Kunststoff bereits Lösungen (vgl. DE 39 42 000 A1) bekannt, die ein konturengleiches Verschließen gewährleisten. Diese vorbekannten Lösungen lassen sich aber wegen der dort vorausgesetzten Nachgiebigkeit des verwendeten Materials nicht auf solche Behälter übertragen, welche beispielsweise aus Glas hergestellt sind. Die Herstellung aus Glas weist darüber hinaus auch den Nachteil auf, daß wegen der spezifischen Herstellungstechnologie relativ große Toleranzen einkalkuliert werden müssen.There are already solutions for containers made of relatively soft plastic (see. DE 39 42 000 A1) known, the closing with the same contour guarantee. However, these previously known solutions can be because of the required flexibility of the material used there transmit such containers, which are made, for example, of glass are. The production from glass also has the disadvantage on that because of the specific manufacturing technology, relatively large tolerances must be taken into account.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter mit einer Verschlußkappe zu schaffen, der sich aus relativ hartem Material, wie Glas, herstellen läßt, wobei herstellungsbedingte Toleranzen ausgleichbar sind, und wobei trotzdem ein relativ steiles, ein schnelles Öffnen und Schließen ermöglichendes Gewinde einsetzbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a container to create with a cap that is made of relatively hard Material, such as glass, can be manufactured, with manufacturing-related tolerances are compensable, and still a relatively steep, a fast Thread allowing opening and closing can be used.
Zur Lösung dieser an sich konkurrierenden Aufforderungen ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß an der Oberseite einer Ring-Schulter des Behälters wenigstens ein Vorsprung angeordnet ist, der sich über einen bestimmten Umfangswinkelbereich der Behälterschulter erstreckt und im Querschnitt eine Anlaufschräge, einen abgerundeten Übergang hin zu einem etwa parallel zur Grundfläche verlaufenden Plateauabschnitts und eine hierzu etwa senkrecht nach unten verlaufende Anschlagschulter aufweist, wobei an der Unterkante der Schraubkappe wenigstens eine Ausnehmung mit etwa zu dem Vorsprung korrespondierender Kontur angeordnet ist, die sich über etwa den gleichen Umfangswinkelbereich erstreckt, wobei die Unterkante der Schraubkappe jeweils auf den Bereich an der Anlaufschräge der Ausnehmung hin mit einer Neigung in Richtung der Gewindesteigung nach oben verläuft, wobei der Winkel dieser Neigung etwas kleiner ist als die Gewindesteigung.In order to solve these competing requests, the invention is based provided that at the top of an annular shoulder of the container at least one projection is arranged, which is over a certain Circumferential angular range of the container shoulder extends and in cross section a starting slope, a rounded transition to an approximately parallel to the base area extending plateau section and one for this has approximately vertically downward stop shoulder, wherein on the lower edge of the screw cap with at least one recess is arranged to the projection corresponding contour, which over extends approximately the same circumferential angle range, the lower edge the screw cap on the area at the run-up slope of the recess towards the thread pitch runs above, the angle of this inclination is slightly smaller than that Thread.
Vorzugsweise ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß der Umfangswinkelbereich über den sich die Ausnehmung erstreckt etwas geringer ist als derjenige des Vorsprungs.It is also preferably provided that the circumferential angle range is above which the recess extends is slightly less than that of the Lead.
Zur Erzielung eines symmetrischen Aufbaus ist günstigerweise vorgesehen, daß wenigstens zwei um 180° gegeneinander versetzt angeordnete Ausnehmungen an der Schraubkappe bzw. Vorsprünge an dem Behälter angeordnet sind.In order to achieve a symmetrical structure, it is advantageously provided that that at least two recesses offset by 180 ° arranged on the screw cap or projections on the container are.
Die Umfangswinkelerstreckung der Vorsprünge bzw. der Ausnehmungen liegt mit Vorteil bei etwa 45° bzw. einer 1/8 Umdrehung. Die Gewindesteigung kann etwa 3 mm pro Umdrehung betragen. Der Krümmungsradius des abgerundeten Übergangsbereiches der Vorsprünge kann zwischen 0,5 mm bis 5 min, vorzugsweise bei 0,5 min, und der Ausnehmungen bei 0,6 mm bis 6,5 mm, vorzugsweise bei 0,6 mm liegen.The circumferential angle of the projections or recesses is with advantage at about 45 ° or an 1/8 turn. The thread pitch can be about 3 mm per revolution. The radius of curvature of the rounded The transition area of the projections can be between 0.5 mm to 5 min, preferably at 0.5 min, and the recesses at 0.6 mm to 6.5 mm, preferably 0.6 mm.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß in der Endposition bzw. Anschlagposition beim Aufschrauben der Schraubkappe die Anschlagschultern der Ausnehmungen an der Unterkante der Schraubkappe an den entsprechend senkrecht verlaufenden Anschlagschultern der Vorsprünge an der Flasche zu liegen kommen, so daß hierdurch ganz exakt eine Endposition definiert wird. Gleichzeitig liegen die abgerundeten Übergangsbereiche des jeweiligen Vorsprungs an der Flasche und der jeweiligen Ausnehmung an der Schraubkappe übereinander, so daß ohne ein elastisches Nachgeben der Bereiche um die Vorsprünge bzw. Ausnehmungen erforderlich zu machen unter Ausnutzung des Gewindespiels eine Arretierung und Verspannung erfolgt, die nicht nur die Drehposition der Kappe sichert, sondern auch für eine hohe Dichtigkeit sorgt. Die Neigung der Unterkante der Schraubkappe zwischen den jeweiligen Ausnehmungen ist so gewählt, daß beim Aufschrauben kontinuierlich das Gewindespiel bis hin zur Anschlagposition reduziert und hierdurch eine Verspannung erreicht wird. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist der Arretiermechanismus auch relativ unempfindlich gegen Toleranzen in der Dimensionierung der Schulter an der Flasche.The configuration according to the invention ensures that in the end position or stop position when screwing on the screw cap Stop shoulders of the recesses on the lower edge of the screw cap on the corresponding vertical stop shoulders of the projections come to rest on the bottle, so that thereby very exactly an end position is defined. At the same time, the rounded ones Transitional areas of the respective projection on the bottle and the respective one Recess on top of the screw cap, so that without a elastic yielding of the areas around the projections or recesses to make it necessary to make a lock using the thread play and bracing takes place, which is not just the rotational position of the cap secures, but also ensures high tightness. The inclination of the The bottom edge of the screw cap between the respective recesses is like this chosen that when screwing on the thread play continuously reduced to the stop position and thereby achieved tension becomes. With this configuration, the locking mechanism is also relative insensitive to tolerances in the dimensioning of the shoulder the bottle.
