Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing element for crown corkers according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a closure member is already known, in which four viewing openings and four connecting webs are provided evenly distributed over the circumference at the same height (DE-GM 83 08 616.1). Due to the four equally sized viewing openings with an opening angle of less than 90 degrees, a certain control of the longitudinal bore or the ejector arranged therein and, if necessary, manual or mechanical cleaning or disinfection of the "inner region" of the closure member adjacent to the mouth of the vessel is possible. Infection or contamination of the container or its contents during the closing process can thus be counteracted.
  • the invention is based on the object in a generic closure member with simple means Possibility to improve control and cleaning or disinfection noticeably.
  • a viewing opening has an opening angle of at least 180 degrees.
  • the large view opening formed according to the invention enables optimal access to the particularly critical areas of the closing member. This applies in particular if, according to a development of the invention, the opening angle of the viewing opening is dimensioned such that the ejector lies completely within the viewing opening.
  • Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through a closing member
  • the closure member 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a tubular housing 2, which is accommodated in a vertical bushing 3 of a rotatable upper part 4 of a crown cork, not shown in more detail.
  • a U-shaped holding piece 6 seen from the side, is detachably fastened by means of a union nut 5.
  • the holding piece 6 has on the top of the horizontal upper leg a hollow cylindrical projection 7, with which it is centered in the bore of the housing 2.
  • an outwardly projecting pin 8 is fastened, which engages in a recess 9 formed on the lower edge of the housing 2 to prevent rotation.
  • the circular leg of the upper leg of the holding piece 6 is further provided with a vertical bore 10 which is concentric with the central axis of the housing 2.
  • a vertical bore 11 is also formed, which is concentric to the central axis of the housing 2.
  • annular sealing cone 12 is fastened, which performs the shaping work when fastening a crown cork on a vessel mouth.
  • the upper bore 10 of the holding piece 6 surrounds at a distance a rod-like ejector 13, which is mounted in a height-adjustable manner in the housing 2 and is elastically fixed in its lower end position shown in FIG. 1 by a compression spring 14 arranged in the housing 2.
  • the thickened lower end of the ejector 13 is inserted with play in the longitudinal bore of the closing cone 12 and forms with this an annular gap into which glass fragments, liquid residues etc. can easily penetrate.
  • the web 15 transmits the force which arises during the closing process on the closing cone 12 from the lower to the upper leg of the holding piece 6, where it is passed on in the center of the housing 2.
  • the single web 15 covers an angle X of approximately 120 degrees and thus leaves a viewing opening 16 free, which extends at an angle Y of approximately 240 degrees around the ejector 13, namely in a height range immediately above the closing cone 12.
  • the only viewing opening 16 is so large that the ejector 13 lies completely in it when, as in FIG.
  • the ejector 13 at the level of the viewing opening 16 neither covers parts of the web 15 nor is covered by parts of the web 15.
  • the ejector 13 and the annular gap between it and the sealing cone 12 are therefore very easily accessible, be it for a visual inspection for contamination or for manual or mechanical cleaning or disinfection, for example by means of stationary spray nozzles directed towards the viewing opening 16. This is further facilitated by the fact that the viewing opening 16 is directed radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation of the upper part 4 and thus from the outside of the crown cage is particularly accessible.
  • the mutually facing sides of the horizontal legs of the holding piece 6 are chamfered towards the web 15 and are rounded off into this.
  • the web 15 can also be formed in two parts, for example by two parallel round bars, between which a second, narrow viewing window is formed. It is also possible, as indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1, to fasten a sealing ring 17 in the bore 10 which slides on a thickened area of the ejector 13.

Abstract

Cet organe de fermeture pour bouchons-couronnes avec un cône de fermeture (12) et un éjecteur (13) qui pénètre dans le passage longitudinal (10) du cône de fermeture (12) comprend un regard (16) ayant un angle d'ouverture (Y) d'au moins 180 DEG qui relie le passage (10) à l'extérieur. Les dimensions du regard (16) sont telles que l'éjecteur (13) se situe entièrement à l'intérieur du regard (16). Ce regard de grandes dimensions permet d'accéder de manière optimale aux zones particulièrement critiques de l'organe de fermeture à des fins de contrôle, de nettoyage, de désinfection ou similaires.
