Abstract

The tube closure for a plastics tube has a cap (6) connected by a hinge (9) to a fixing part (1) with two borings (13) in it by which it is fitted on two pins (4) on the tube shoulder (2). The fixing part may be crescent-shaped, with its outer outline corresponding with that (11) of the shoulder, and with its inner outline fitting against the tube neck. The pins may have edgings on them. The hinge may consist of a middle part and two side parts made in an arc shape. The fixing part may have two intended break points connecting it to a security ring along the outer outline of the shoulder.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tubenverschluß nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a tube closure according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind aus Kunststoff bestehende Tubenverschlüsse bekannt, die ein zylindrisches Wandungsteil aufweisen, welches bündig mit der Außenkontur der Schulter der Tube fluchtet. Zu diesem zylindrischen Wandungsteil ist einstückig ein dazu rechtwinklig verlaufendes ringförmiges Wandungsteil, das seinerseits einstückig ist zu einem zylindrischen Befestigungsteil, welches etwa parallel zum zylindrischen Wandungsteil verläuft und das mit dem Hals oder der Schulter der Tube verrastet ist. Im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem zylindrischen und dem ringförmigen Wandungsteil ist über ein Filmscharnier der Verschlußdeckel angelenkt, der lösbar mit dem Rand des ringförmigen Wandungsteil verrastbar ist.Tube closures made of plastic are known which have a cylindrical wall part which is flush with the outer contour of the shoulder of the tube. To this cylindrical wall part is an annular wall part running at right angles to it, which in turn is integral to a cylindrical fastening part which runs approximately parallel to the cylindrical wall part and which is locked to the neck or shoulder of the tube. In the transition area between the cylindrical and the annular wall part, the closure lid is articulated via a film hinge, which can be releasably locked to the edge of the annular wall part.

Dieser Tubenverschluß weist eine Reihe von Nachteilen auf. Durch das zylindrische Wandungsteil und das zylindrische Befestigungsteil ist der Tubenverschluß doppelwandig ausgebildet, wobei dem zylindrischen Wandungsteil keine technische Funktion, sondern nur die Funktion eines guten Aussehens des Tubenverschlusses zukommt. Dies führt zu einem entsprechenden Materialbedarf und damit zu einem unnötig hohen Gewicht des Verschlusses. Mit dem bekannten Verschluß ist auch keine integrale Originalitätssicherung möglich, vielmehr müssen zwischen dem Verschlußdeckel und dem zylindrischen Wandungsteil zusätzliche Teile vorgesehen werden, die zerstört werden, bevor der Verschlußdeckel geöffnet werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, daß der Tubenverschluß gegenüber der Tube gedreht werden kann, so daß die Lage des Deckels in Bezug auf die Tube nicht an Hand des Druckbilds auf der Tube feststellbar ist. Je nach Stellung des Verschlusses relativ zur Tube ist oftmals eine Einhandbedienung nicht möglich.This tube closure has a number of disadvantages. Due to the cylindrical wall part and the cylindrical fastening part, the tube closure is double-walled, the cylindrical wall part not having a technical function, but only the function of a good appearance of the tube closure. This leads to a corresponding material requirement and thus to an unnecessarily high weight of the closure. Integral tamper-evident protection is also not possible with the known closure, rather additional parts must be provided between the closure lid and the cylindrical wall part, which parts are destroyed before the closure lid can be opened. Another disadvantage is the fact that the tube closure can be rotated with respect to the tube, so that the position of the cover with respect to the tube cannot be determined from the printed image on the tube. Depending on the position of the closure relative to the tube, one-handed operation is often not possible.

Es besteht die Aufgabe, den Tubenverschluß so auszubilden, daß doppelwandige Strukturen vermieden werden.The task is to design the tube closure in such a way that double-walled structures are avoided.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele werden nachfolgend an Hand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Vertikalschnitt durch eine Tube mit Verschluß;
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf die Tube mit Verschluß;
  • Fig. 3 eine Draufsicht auf einen Zapfen in vergrößertem Maßstab;
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt durch eine zweite Ausführungsform eines Tubenverschlusses;
  • Fig. 5 eine Draufsicht auf diesen Tubenverschluß;
  • Fig. 6 eine Draufsicht auf das Scharnier des Verschlußes; und
  • Fig. 7 einen Schnitt längs der Linie A - A in Figur 6.
Two exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical section through a tube with a closure.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the tube with closure.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of a pin on an enlarged scale.
  • 4 shows a section through a second embodiment of a tube closure;
  • 5 shows a plan view of this tube closure;
  • 6 is a top view of the hinge of the closure; and
  • 7 shows a section along the line AA in FIG. 6.

Die Tube 1 nach den Figuren 1 und 2 weist eine Tubenschulter 2 auf, die in einen Hals 3 übergeht. An der Tubenschulter sind zwei geriffelte Zapfen 4 angeformt, die zueinander einen winkelmäßigen Abstand von etwa 70° aufweisen.The tube 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a tube shoulder 2 which merges into a neck 3. Two corrugated pins 4 are formed on the tube shoulder, which are at an angular distance of approximately 70 ° to one another.

Der Verschluß 5 weist einen topfförmigen Deckel 6 auf, an welchem innenseitig ein Zapfen 7 angeformt ist, der im geschlossenen Zustand des Verschlusses in die Tubenöffnung 8 eingreift.The closure 5 has a pot-shaped cover 6, on the inside of which a pin 7 is formed, which engages in the tube opening 8 in the closed state of the closure.

Der Verschlußdeckel 6 ist über ein Filmscharnier 9 mit einem Befestigungsteil 10 verbunden. Das Befestigungsteil 10 ist ringabschnittförmig ausgebildet und weist eine Außenkontur auf, die bündig verläuft mit der Außenkontur 11 der Schulter 2. Die Innenkontur des Befestigungsteils 10 liegt gegen den unteren Bereich des Halses 3 an und entspricht dessen Außenkontur 12. Das Befestigungsteil 10 ist mit zwei Bohrungen 13 versehen. Mit diesen Bohrungen 13 wird das Befestigungsteil 10 auf die Zapfen 4 aufgesteckt, wobei eine Presspaßverbindung zwischen den Zapfen 4 und den Bohrungen 13 entsteht. An der dem Filmscharnier 9 gegenüberliegenden Seite weist der Verschlußdeckel eine Nase 14 auf, die sein Öffnen erleichtert.The closure cover 6 is connected to a fastening part 10 via a film hinge 9. The fastening part 10 is designed in the form of a ring section and has an outer contour which is flush with the outer contour 11 of the shoulder 2. The inner contour of the fastening part 10 lies against the lower region of the neck 3 and corresponds to its outer contour 12. The fastening part 10 has two bores 13 provided. With these holes 13, the fastener 10 is on the pins 4 are plugged in, a press-fit connection being formed between the pins 4 and the bores 13. On the side opposite the film hinge 9, the closure lid has a nose 14 which facilitates its opening.

Das Filmscharnier 9 besteht aus einem Mittelteil 15 und zwei sich daran anschließenden zwickelförmigen Seitenteilen 16. Die Wände der Seitenteile 16 verlaufen dachbogenförmig zueinander, womit es ermöglicht wird, daß der Verschlußdeckel 6 von der in Figur 1 gezeigten Lage in seine Verschlußlage um 180° verschwenkt werden kann. Die dachbogenartige Ausbildung hat außerdem den Vorteil, daß der Deckel in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Lage aufspringt, sobald der Zapfen 7 sich nicht mehr in der Öffnung 8 befindet.The film hinge 9 consists of a central part 15 and two adjoining gusset-shaped side parts 16. The walls of the side parts 16 run in the shape of a roof arch, which makes it possible for the closure cover 6 to be pivoted through 180 ° from the position shown in FIG. 1 can. The roof-arch-like design also has the advantage that the lid springs open into the position shown in Figure 1 as soon as the pin 7 is no longer in the opening 8.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 4 und 5 ist zusätzlich ein Sicherungsring 17 vorgesehen, der über zwei Sollbruchstellen 18 mit dem Befestigungsteil 10 verbunden ist. Der Sicherungsring 18 erstreckt sich maximal bis zum Filmscharnier 9. Der Sicherungsring 17 weist einen Innendurchmesser auf, der geringfügig größer ist als der Außendurchmesser des Deckels 6. Gegenüber dem Filmscharnier 9 weist der Deckel 6 außenseitig einen Vorsprung 19 an seinem Rand auf. Am Sicherungsring ist an seinem unteren Rand dem Filmscharnier gegenüberliegend ein zum Vorsprung 19 kongruenter Hinterschnitt 20 vorgesehen. Wird der Deckel in seine Schließstellung gebracht, dann verrastet der Vorsprung 19 mit dem Hinterschnitt 20. Das Öffnen des Deckels 6 ist nur dann möglich, wenn die Sollbruchstellen 18 zerstört werden und somit der Sicherungsring 17 abgenommen ist. Der Sicherungsring 17 ist geschnitten und erstreckt sich mit seinen Enden nur über einen Teil des Außenumfangs des Befestigungsteils 10.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, a securing ring 17 is additionally provided, which is connected to the fastening part 10 via two predetermined breaking points 18. The locking ring 18 extends up to the film hinge 9. The locking ring 17 has an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cover 6. Compared to the film hinge 9, the cover 6 has a projection 19 on its outside on its edge. An undercut 20 which is congruent with the projection 19 is provided on the securing ring on its lower edge opposite the film hinge. If the lid is brought into its closed position, then the projection 19 engages with the undercut 20. The lid 6 can only be opened if the predetermined breaking points 18 are destroyed and the securing ring 17 is thus removed. The locking ring 17 is cut and extends with its ends only over a part of the outer circumference of the fastening part 10.
