Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for a container from a lower closure part and a screw cap, in which the lower closure part can be connected to the container opening by means of a base part and has a pouring spout which is connected to the base part, in which the screw cap has a cap base and an internally threaded cap jacket can be screwed onto and off the pouring spout provided with an external thread, the cap jacket of the screw cap ending in at least one locking tab in the region of the free end face, the locking tabs of the screw cap forming a locking connection with locking cams of the closure part cooperate, which have a flat rising edge in the screwing direction, which merges into a steep locking edge and form the locking connection with the locking tabs, which can be canceled by moving the locking tabs relative to the locking cams.
  • Such a closure is known from DE 42 09 784 A1.
  • the snap connection between the screw cap and the bellows is formed.
  • the end face of the cap jacket is provided all around with snap-in receptacles into which snap-in cams snap onto the bellows of the lower closure part.
  • the bellows must be pressed together so that the locking cams are deflected radially inwards and moved out of the locking receptacles in the cap jacket. This deflection of the bellows requires considerable effort, especially when it is a stable closure for large containers.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that an annular flange protruding from the cap shell is formed on the lower part of the closure, which at least partially covers the locking tabs, and that the annular flange carries the locking cams on the inside facing the locking tabs.
  • the locking tabs can be pressed inwards outside the ring flange, the locking connection with the locking cams on the inside of the ring flange being canceled.
  • the locking tabs of the screw cap can pass the locking flanks of the locking cams, ie the screw cap can be unscrewed from the pouring spout.
  • the locations of the latching lobes are easily recognizable, so that there are no difficulties for the adult Remove child lock. Due to the additional ring flange on the lower part of the closure, the function of the bellows is no longer impaired, as in the known closure with the locking cams on the bellows.
  • the ring flange in the form of a toothing carries a plurality of locking cams arranged one behind the other, that the locking cams are spaced apart in the same pitch, and that the locking tabs have one or more counter-locking elements which are connected to the locking cams form the locking connection.
  • An advantage is an embodiment, which is characterized in that two locking tabs are arranged diametrically on the cap jacket and that each locking tab is assigned a locking cam on the closure part.
  • the attachment of the ring flange to the lower part of the closure is preferably carried out in such a way that the pouring spout is integrally formed on the lower part of the closure and that the annular flange is integrally formed on the paragraph concentrically with the pouring spout and forms an annular receptacle for the locking tabs of the screw cap.
  • the locking tabs are thin-walled and extend over part of the circumference of the cap shell and are easily deflected radially. This creates a larger attachment area for gripping the screw cap.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the closure along the line II-II of Fig. 1, and
  • Fig. 3 is a detailed view marked in Fig. 2.
  • the closure consists of a lower closure part 10, which comprises a base part 11 and a pouring spout 15.
  • the base part 11 can be snapped into a container opening.
  • the pouring spout 15 has an external thread onto which an internally threaded screw cap 20 can be screwed on and off.
  • the screw cap 20 carries the internal thread on the inside of a cap jacket 21.
  • the pouring spout 15 is closed in the delivery state by means of a sealing plate 16.
  • the sealing plate 16 can be torn out of the pouring spout 15 by means of a grip tab 17.
  • the cap jacket 21 of the screw cap 20 ends on the free end face in two diametrically opposed locking tabs 22 which extend over part of the circumference of the screw cap 20, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the transition from the pouring spout 15 to the lower closure part 10 is as paragraph 13 educated.
  • a circumferential annular flange 14 is formed on the shoulder 13, which is directed towards the cap jacket 21 and forms with the pouring spout 15 a receiving space 26 for the latching spikes 22 of the screw cap 20 when it is screwed onto the pouring spout 15.
  • the ring flange 14 carries on its inside, ie facing the locking tabs 22, locking cams 23 which have flat rising flanks 24 in the screwing-on direction. The rising edges 23 merge into steep locking edges 25.
  • the latching lugs 22 carry counter-latching elements 22a, as are shown in more detail in FIG. 3.
  • the counter-latching elements 22a are arranged at an equal spacing from one another and are tooth-like.
  • the counter-locking elements 22a snap into the spaces formed between the locking cams 23.
  • the counter-latching elements 22a also have a steep latching flank which bears against the latching flanks 25 of the latching cams 23.
  • the locking cams 23 themselves are arranged in the form of a toothing over the entire circumference of the ring flange 14 in a constant division. This division corresponds to the division of the counter-locking elements 22a.
  • the screw cap 20 is gripped and compressed in the area of the locking tabs 22, then the locking tabs 22 are attached to the ring flange 14 out of engagement with the locking cam 23. The screw cap 20 can then be unscrewed from the pouring spout 15.
  • a single snap connection is normally sufficient as a child lock.
  • the two diametrically arranged snap-in connections increase safety and make it easier for adults to remove parental controls.
