Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety and protective cap for container openings, in particular for the openings of spout attached to liquid containers, with a lid to cover the container opening and one the edge ring surrounding the edge area.
  • caps are already known, which on the openings of barrels equipped with regulating valves and other liquid containers can. These caps have the job of being the valves or Cocks (discharge nozzle) from mechanical influences or Protect dust and identify the contents of the container to enable. They also secure the valves against unauthorized opening and unauthorized liquid withdrawal.
  • these caps consist of one with one Lid connected collar, which on its inner surface has a holding device. These holding devices push themselves through the pressure exerted on the cap so far on the approach (outlet nozzle) at the container opening, that they kept on the inside of the neck become.
  • the lid To open the container, the lid must be off the edge the collar are torn off, the collar on Approach to the container opening remains. After opening the Outlet, the cap cannot be reused, and not for the protection of the outlet or the identification of the container contents.
  • the Cover for protection and identification and at the same time reused to detect a previous opening the cap with a collar ring Elastic bracket is equipped, which is Opening bends and lifting the lid off with the collar ring and the bracket attached to it.
  • the same collar could be used for the subsequent one Closing continue to be used.
  • the removable part of the collar remains in front of fixed Part separately, with the previous handling of the closure is recognizable, although a certain Closure ensures protection for the container valve seems to be. In fact, however, this also guarantees Cap the desired one for various reasons Don't close.
  • the tabs or retainers are the first Opening bent so that it is not properly in again engage their seat at the base of the container opening and the cover after reattaching the first releases mechanical action again.
  • each flange ring does not have its cover connected, the operator hardly has time to re-attach the cover, especially since known is that it doesn't hold anyway.
  • FR-A-2 203 747 there is a safety and protective cap for container openings, in particular for the openings of discharge nozzle provided on liquid containers, with a lid to cover the container opening and one described the edge area of the final collar ring, the collar ring with a retraction preventing Holding elements is equipped and the lid over a or more, lightly forming a seal detachable connection point (s) connected to the collar is, the lid at the same time via a hinge part is permanently connected to the collar and over a locking part which can be locked at the container opening disposes.
  • the basic idea of the invention is therefore that Bundring so on the ring edge or the mouthpiece or That the outlet nozzle at the container opening when opening the container opening by lifting the Lid can no longer be removed. The stripping the collar is blocked by the holding elements.
  • the rigidity of the oblique locking parts is like this great that the cap after sliding on the neck is locked at the container opening on the ring edge and can no longer be deducted.
  • the lid remains after opening connected by the joint part to the collar ring, so that it continues to act as a closure member to protect the container opening and the contents of the container, but also for identification of the liquid contained in the container stands.
  • the reclosing of the container opening with the hinged lid using the attached to this, designed as an elastic hook Closure part, which is behind the ring edge of the container opening can be snapped in and opened Lid can be disengaged.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is thereby characterized in that the edge of the cover with the collar via thin connection points that can be torn off when the lid is opened connected is.
  • tear-off sections acting connection points ensure on the one hand - together with the closure part - a stable connection between the cover and the collar and thus one secure container closure.
  • they pose a seal of the safety and protective cap in this way shows that the undestroyed tear-off sections Intactness of the container opening or the container contents view and guarantee while a severed Tear-off section on a previous access to the Container opening or to the liquid contained in the container indicates.
  • a cap is thus made available the sealing of the container opening or the display of a previous, possibly unauthorized Open the cap and on the other hand secure and repeated closing after opening as well as identification of the container contents at all times based on the cover remaining on the collar the label on it is permitted.
  • the tear-off sections between the edge or individual, by Recesses formed edge parts of the lid and the Collar formed are provided.
  • the provision of individual edge parts with tear-off sections interrupted by recesses makes it easier to tear off the first time you open it.
  • the recesses in the edge of the lid in the Area of the retaining elements attached to the collar, thereby pressing the cap onto the container opening to facilitate.
  • the safety and protective cap according to the invention is structurally simple and is made in one piece Molded plastic material. It is therefore simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the solution to the proposed cap is essentially from a lid 1 with an edge 2, which by Tear off sections (material weak spots or thin Joints) 4 and a joint part 5 with a Collar ring 3 is connected, the collar ring 3 with at least two essentially rigid holding elements 6 and 7 is equipped.
  • the to the bottom of the lid 1 at a right angle running edge 2 is through two or more recesses 9 and 10 interrupted.
  • the edge 2 is with the collar ring 3 through some forming a thin junction Tear-off sections 4 connected between the both (or more) the edge 2 of the collar 3 separating recesses 9 and 10 are located.
  • the tear off sections 4 facilitate by simply tearing off the with the edge 2 connected cover 1 the complete separation between edge 2 and collar 3.
  • the joint part 5 prevents detachment or detachment of the lid 1 of the container C on which the cap is attached.
  • the collar 3 as mentioned above, has at least two holding elements (locking parts) 6 and 7.
  • This Holding elements 6 and 7 have minimal elasticity to just over the ring rim 12 of the container opening to be able to be pushed and thus their task Attachment or to hold the collar ring 3.
  • these holding elements 6 and 7 Feature according to the invention of these holding elements 6 and 7 is their reduced elasticity and consequently their high Stiffness, which is still due to its arched shape is favored. This allows the ring edge 12 the collar ring 3 attached to the container opening no longer be removed, unless the collar 3 is at a later refilling of the container C average.
  • edge 2 is connected to the Collar 3 through a hinge part 5 is another Characteristics of the lid 1 in that compared to the Joint part 5 at the edge 2 a closure part (elastic Hook) 13 is attached.
  • this closure part 13 consists of a small one angled web that protrudes from the edge 2 such that he presses the cover 1 against the ring rim 12 the container opening due to the elasticity of the Plastic material from which the cover 1 is made, light deformed. Because of this deformation, this overcomes Closure part 13 of the ring rim 12 and snaps into place for stability of the cap on the opening of the container C to contribute.
  • the cap Before shipping the container for drinks or others
  • the cap is made of plastic material through liquids simple pressure on the lid 1 on the ring rim 12 of the Container opening pressed against the container contents secure unauthorized acts as well as the tap (or spout) to protect and the content too to be able to identify or determine.
  • On the outside cover 1 are those required by law Information about the type of liquid contained and their origin recorded.
