Abstract

A screw cap, especially one made of plastic, for closing a bottle or the like, with a cylindrical threaded section having a female thread to be screwed on the male thread of a bottle-neck, connected to the security ring via break points, on which there are inwardly-directed catches to engage with an outer collar on a bottle-neck. The free edge (14) of the cylindrical part (3) has at least one axial projection (15) which engages positively in a recess (17) in the opposite edge of the security ring (11) in the circumferential direction and releasably in the axial direction. This positive toothing ensures that, when the screw cap is first screwed on the neck of a bottle, the webs (10) are not sheared off by increased torques which can be applied if the catches run on the outer collar of the bottle-neck under tension.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schraubkappe der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs genannten Art zum Verschließen einer Flasche oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a screw cap in Preamble of the type mentioned for closing a bottle or the like.

Durch DE-A-41 08 453 ist eine Schraubkappe der betreffenden Art bekannt, bei der die nach innen gerichteten Rastvorsprünge hakenförmig ausgebildet sind, so daß beim erstmaligen Aufschrauben der Schraubkappe auf das Außengewinde eines Flaschenhalses die Rastvorsprünge hinter einen zu Sicherungszwecken am Flaschenhals angeordneten, umlaufenden Außenwulst schnappen. Beim Abschrauben der Schraubkappe halten die hakenförmigen Rastvorsprünge den Sicherungsring hinter dem Außenwulst am Flaschenhals fest, so daß die durch dünne Stege zwischen dem Sicherungsring und dem zylindrischen Teil der Schraubkappe gebildeten Sollbruchstellen abreißen und so der Sicherungsring auf dem Flaschenhals verbleibt. Dadurch ist eine Originalitätssicherung gegeben, indem nach Wiederaufschrauben der Schraubkappe der Sicherungsring lose auf dem Flaschenhals gehalten ist. Dadurch ist für jeden leicht erkennbar, daß die Flasche bereits einmal geöffnet worden ist.DE-A-41 08 453 is a screw cap known type in which the inward Locking projections are hook-shaped, so that when the screw cap is unscrewed for the first time the locking projections on the external thread of a bottle neck behind one for security purposes on the bottle neck snap arranged, surrounding outer bead. When unscrewing the screw cap hold the hook-shaped Locking projections the locking ring behind the outer bead on the bottle neck so that the thin Bridges between the circlip and the cylindrical Tear off the predetermined breaking points formed on the screw cap and so the locking ring on the bottle neck remains. This ensures tamper evidence, by screwing the screw cap back on the locking ring is held loosely on the bottle neck is. This makes it easy for everyone to see that the Bottle has already been opened once.

Ein Nachteil dieser bekannten Schraubkappe besteht darin, daß ein verhältnismäßig großes Drehmoment erforderlich ist, wenn die hakenförmigen Rastvorsprünge an dem Sicherungsring über den Außenwulst am Flaschenhals hinwegbewegt werden. Aufgrund dieses erhöhten Drehmoments besteht die Gefahr, daß die durch die dünnen Stege gebildeten Sollbruchstellen zwischen dem Sicherungsring und dem zylindrischen Teil der Schraubkappe bereits beim Aufschrauben abgeschert werden, so daß nachfolgend der Sicherungsring lose auf dem Hals der Flasche sitzt, genauso wie das der Fall ist, wenn die Flasche erstmalig geöffnet und dann wieder verschlossen worden ist. Die Originalität des Flascheninhalts ist daher nicht erkennbar oder gewährleistet.A disadvantage of this known screw cap is in that a relatively large torque is required is when the hook-shaped locking projections on the locking ring over the outer bead on the bottle neck be moved away. Because of this increased Torque there is a risk that through the thin Bridges formed predetermined breaking points between the retaining ring and the cylindrical part of the screw cap already sheared off when screwing on, so that subsequently the circlip loosely on the neck of the Bottle is sitting, just as it is when the Bottle opened for the first time and then closed again has been. The originality of the bottle content is therefore not recognizable or guaranteed.

Durch EP-A-0 103 050 ist eine Schraubkappe der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs genannten Art bekannt. Sie weist Vorsprünge und Vertiefungen an den sich gegenüberliegenden Rändern von zylindrischem Schraubteil und Sicherungsring auf, die axial ineinandergreifen und in Umfangsrichtung eine Formschlüssigkeit bewirken, so daß beim Aufschrauben eine Mitnahme des Sicherungsringes erfolgen und vermieden werden soll, daß innenseitig Sicherungsring und zylindrisches Schraubteil verbindende Stege brechen. Diese Konstruktion ist verhältnismäßig kompliziert, da die Vorsprünge und Vertiefungen durch einen besonderen Arbeitsgang neben der Formung der Schraubkappe aus Kunststoff erforderlich machen. Außerdem ist immer ein Spalt zwischen den Vorsprüngen und Vertiefungen unvermeidlich, der zu einer Relativbewegung in Umfangsrichtung zwischen zylindrischem Schraubteil und Sicherungsring beim ersten Aufschrauben führt, womit die Gefahr eines Brechens der Sollbruchstellen besteht und der Sinn der Sollbruchstellen verlorengeht.Through EP-A-0 103 050 a screw cap is in the The preamble of the type mentioned is known. It has projections and depressions on the opposite Edges of cylindrical screw part and circlip that engage axially and cause a positive fit in the circumferential direction, so that when the screw is screwed, the locking ring is taken along take place and should be avoided that inside Circlip connecting cylindrical screw part Break webs. This construction is proportionate complicated because of the protrusions and depressions through a special operation in addition to shaping make the plastic screw cap necessary. In addition, there is always a gap between the projections and depressions inevitable, leading to a relative movement in the circumferential direction between cylindrical Screw part and circlip when screwing on for the first time leads, with the risk of breaking the predetermined breaking points exists and the sense of the predetermined breaking points is lost.

Durch EP-A-0 281 284 ist eine Schraubkappe bekannt, bei der Sollbruchstellen darstellende lange Stege zwischen sich in axialer Richtung gegenüberliegenden Flächen vorhanden sind. Durch die Länge der Stege soll eine Relativbewegung zwischen Sicherungsring und Kappe möglich sein, um ein Brechen der Stege zu vermeiden. An dem Sicherungsring befinden sich Vorsprünge, die mit komplementären Widerhaken am Flaschenhals in Eingriff kommen und den Sicherungsring beim Abschrauben in Umfangsrichtung festhalten, um so die Stege zum Abscheren zu bringen. Dabei müssen die gesamten Scherkräfte von Hand aufgebracht werden, was das Abschrauben zum Gebrauch wesentlich erschwert, unter Umständen so sehr, daß das Abschrauben durch Kinder nicht möglich ist.A screw cap is known from EP-A-0 281 284, long webs at the predetermined breaking points between each other in the axial direction Areas are available. Due to the length of the webs a relative movement between the circlip and the cap be possible to avoid breaking the webs. On the locking ring are projections with complementary barbs on the bottle neck come and the circlip when unscrewing in the circumferential direction hold on to shear the bars bring to. The total shear forces of Hand applied, which is unscrewing for use much more difficult, possibly so much, that unscrewing by children is not possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schraubkappe der betreffenden Art zu schaffen, bei der die Gefahr des Abreißens der Sollbruchstellen zwischen dem zylindrischen Teil der Schraubkappe und dem Sicherungsring beim erstmaligen Aufschrauben verringert ist.The invention has for its object a To create screw cap of the type in question the risk of tearing the predetermined breaking points between the cylindrical part of the screw cap and the locking ring is reduced when screwing on for the first time.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs angegebene Lehre gelöst.The object underlying the invention will by the specified in the characterizing part of the claim Doctrine solved.

Der Grundgedanke dieser Lehre besteht darin, den zylindrischen Teil der Schraubkappe und den Sicherungsring in Umfangsrichtung formschlüssig, in Schraubrichtung jedoch lösbar miteinander zu verbinden. Durch formschlüssiges Ineinandergreifen der gegenüberliegenden Ränder von zylindrischem Teil und Sicherungsring können große Drehmomente ohne gegenseitige Drehbewegung der beiden Teile übertragen werden, so daß keine Gefahr besteht, daß die den Sicherungsring im Originalzustand mit dem zylindrischen Teil der Schraubkappe verbindenden Sollbruchstellen abgeschert oder abgerissen werden. Die Rastvorsprünge hindern eine Bewegung in Umfangsrichtung nicht. Der Sicherungsring ist somit auf dem Flaschenhals frei drehbar. Die Sollbruchstellen werden also in Umfangsrichtung nicht beansprucht, so daß nicht die Gefahr eines Brechens beim Aufschrauben der Schraubkappe nach dem Befüllen besteht. Beim ersten Abschrauben der Schraubkappe zur Entnahme des Inhalts der Flasche scheren die Sollbruchstellen in Axialrichtung ab, da die Rastvorsprünge am Sicherungsring den Außenwulst am Flaschenhals hintergreifen. The basic idea of this teaching is that cylindrical part of the screw cap and the locking ring positive in the circumferential direction, in the screwing direction but releasably connected to each other. By positive interlocking of the opposite Edges of the cylindrical part and circlip can handle large torques without mutual rotation of the two parts are transferred so that no danger there is that the circlip in its original condition connecting with the cylindrical part of the screw cap Breaking points are sheared or torn off. The locking projections prevent movement in the circumferential direction Not. The circlip is thus on the Bottle neck freely rotatable. The predetermined breaking points are So not claimed in the circumferential direction, so that not the danger of breaking when screwing on the There is a screw cap after filling. At the first Unscrew the screw cap to remove the contents of the bottle shear the predetermined breaking points in the axial direction since the locking projections on the locking ring Reach behind the outer bead on the bottle neck.

Anhand der Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged view II in FIG. 1.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schraubkappe 1 aus Kunststoff gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung. Sie weist einen Boden 2 und ein zylindrisches Schraubteil 3 auf mit einem Innengewinde 4 zum Aufschrauben auf ein Außengewinde 5 eines Flaschenhalses 6, der nur teilweise dargestellt ist. Zwischen dem Boden 2 und einer Stirnkante 7 des Flaschenhalses 6 befindet sich eine Dichtung 8.Fig. 1 shows a screw cap 1 made of plastic according to an embodiment of the invention. she has a base 2 and a cylindrical screw part 3 with an internal thread 4 for screwing on External thread 5 of a bottle neck 6, which is only partially is shown. Between the floor 2 and one Front edge 7 of the bottle neck 6 is one Seal 8.

Ein unterer Rand 9 des zylindrischen Teils 3 ist über Stege 10 mit einem Sicherungsring 11 verbunden, der innen Rastvorsprünge 12 aufweist, die in dem dargestellten Aufschraubzustand einen Außenwulst 13 am Flaschenhals 6 hintergreifen.A lower edge 9 of the cylindrical part 3 is connected to a locking ring 11 via webs 10, the inside has locking projections 12, which in the illustrated Screwing on an outer bead 13 am Reach in behind the bottle neck 6.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ansicht II in Fig. 1. Aus ihr ist zu erkennen, daß ein unterer Rand 14 des zylindrischen Teils 3 rechteckige Vorsprünge 15 aufweist, die bündig in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 16 in dem Sicherungsring 11 eingreifen. Zwischen den Vorsprüngen 15 und dem Boden der Ausnehmungen 16 ist ein Zwischenraum 17 gebildet, in dem die Stege 10 angeordnet sind, die den Sicherungsring 11 an dem zylindrischen Teil halten. Fig. 2 shows a view II in Fig. 1. From it it can be seen that a lower edge 14 of the cylindrical Part 3 has rectangular projections 15 which flush in corresponding recesses 16 in the locking ring 11 intervene. Between the projections 15 and the bottom of the recesses 16 is a space 17 formed in which the webs 10 are arranged, the hold the locking ring 11 on the cylindrical part.

Beim erstmaligen Aufschrauben einer Schraubkappe 1 gemäß Fig. 1 sorgen die aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Vorsprünge 15 dafür, daß der Sicherungsring 11 auch dann ohne gegenseitige Bewegung mitgenommen wird, wenn ein größeres Drehmoment auftritt, was dann der Fall ist, wenn die Rastvorsprünge 12 auf den Außenwulst 13 aufgleiten und sich unter Spannung über ihn hinwegbewegen. Dadurch sind die dünnen Stege 10 während des Aufschraubvorganges gegen ein Abscheren oder Abreißen gesichert.When screwing on a screw cap 1 1, the projections shown in FIG. 2 provide 15 that the locking ring 11 then is taken without mutual movement if a greater torque occurs which is the case when the locking projections 12 slide onto the outer bead 13 and move over him under tension. As a result, the thin webs 10 are during the screwing process secured against shearing or tearing off.

Die Vorsprünge 15 liegen nur an der in Aufschraubrichtung gegenüberliegenden Kante der Ausnehmungen 16 an und nicht in der entgegengesetzten Richtung, der Abschraubrichtung. Dort, im Bereich zwischen Flächen 18, 19 und durch gestrichelte Linien angedeuteten Flächen 20, 21 sind sie durch Schraffur angedeuteten Sollbruchstellen 22, 23 angeordnet, die dem gleichen Zweck dienen wie die Sollbruchstellen bildenden Stege 10, die entfallen können. In allen Fällen ist der Sicherungsring auf dem Flaschenhals frei drehbar.The projections 15 lie only on the in the unscrewing direction opposite edge of the recesses 16 on and not in the opposite Direction, the unscrewing direction. There, in the area between surfaces 18, 19 and by dashed lines They are lines 20, 21 indicated by lines predetermined breaking points 22 indicated by hatching, 23 arranged, which serve the same purpose as the webs 10 forming predetermined breaking points, which are omitted can. In all cases, the circlip freely rotatable on the bottle neck.
