Definitions
- the invention relates to a product receptacle for flowable and / or pourable products with a filling and emptying opening, a syringe insert or the like which is detachable therein and a closure cap.
- Product receptacles with a filling and emptying opening which is, for example, neck-shaped, are widely known.
- spray inserts or the like are usually provided in the discharge openings with a smaller passage cross section than the outlet cross section of the product outlet, for example clamped there.
- Most of the known containers for flowable and / or pourable products are equipped with permanently integrated dosing devices and screw-on sealing lids. After these containers have been emptied, they cannot be used or can only be used with difficulty since refilling is not possible or is difficult. These containers are therefore usually only suitable for one-time use, which is unsatisfactory from an economic and ecological point of view.
- closures have several disadvantages.
- the screwing in or screwing on of the closure requires great care, since otherwise no tightness is guaranteed between the closure and the product outlet of the container, so that an undesirable leakage can occur with subsequent dosing.
- the object of the invention is to provide a solution with which the spray insert is simple, inexpensive, reliable and material-saving or the like can be removed for the refill of the product receptacle and can be safely stored until it is reinserted.
- the spray insert has an edge region which at least in places projects radially beyond the edge contour of the filling and emptying opening.
- the closure cap is advantageously designed as a tool for removing the injection insert with an internal thread known per se. This has the advantage that no separate tool is required to release the injection insert. At the same time, any manual contact with the edge area of the injection insert is avoided.
- the first thread of the internal thread of the closure cap engages behind the edge area of the injection insert which at least partially protrudes radially, so that it can be pulled out of the filling and emptying opening. This is particularly easy if a tilting movement is carried out simultaneously with the closure cap, so that the injection insert is levered out of the filling and emptying opening.
- the process of removing the syringe insert can be compared to loosening a crown cap by a bottle opener.
- closure cap at the same time has a receptacle for the syringe insert released from the filling and emptying opening. This avoids that the product residues Spray insert is deposited uncontrolled and causes unwanted contamination or even damage to the respective pad.
- the closure cap has on the inside a concentric, elongated tubular extension for receiving the syringe insert released from the filling and emptying opening. This ensures that the spray insert is stored in the correct position in the side and in the correct position during the refilling process of the product receptacle and can then be clamped back into the filling and emptying opening by replacing or screwing on the closure cap.
- the invention further provides that the filling and emptying opening has an outer thread reduced on the outer edge side by one thread compared to a thread known per se. This ensures that there is enough space available for the internal thread of the closure cap to reach behind the edge region of the injection insert, which protrudes at least radially, and to be able to pry it out.
- the invention also provides a method for removing and storing the syringe insert from a filling and emptying opening of a product receptacle for liquid products with a filling and emptying opening, a syringe insert detachably arranged therein and a closure cap, the spray insert or the like being tilted is levered out of the filling and emptying opening by means of the closure cap used as a tool and held in the closure cap.
- the closure cap is first detached from the filling and emptying opening and then brought into engagement as a loose tool with the spray insert, in particular its edge region which at least partially protrudes radially, in such a way that it is levered out of the filling and emptying opening and then in the closure cap is held by falling into it oriented.
- the injection insert can then be screwed on ben, plugging or the like.
- the cap with the syringe held therein are used again in the filling and emptying opening.
- the closure cap is loosely placed or plugged onto the filling and emptying opening with the injection insert arranged therein and the injection insert by a tilting movement, in which an internal thread profile of the closure cap engages behind the radial projection of the injection insert. and the emptying opening is levered out and held in the concentric, tubular extension of the closure cap.
- the first thread of the already existing internal thread can be used to grip behind the at least partially radially projecting edge region of the injection insert and lever it out with a minimal effort from the filling and emptying opening by means of a tilting movement with the least effort then be caught in the cap.
- the spray insert comes to lie laterally in the concentric, elongated tubular extension of the closure cap and can then be reinserted into the filling and emptying opening by simply unscrewing the closure cap onto the filling and emptying opening, in particular being clamped.
- FIG. 2 shows, in the same representation, a closure cap in the tilted position, in engagement with the radially projecting edge region of the injection insert
- 3 shows in section a loose closure cap with the syringe insert held therein and released from the filling and emptying opening in the overhead position.
- a generally designated 1 and only partially shown product receptacle for flowable and / or pourable products has a container head 2 with a neck-shaped mouth part as a filling and emptying opening 3 and with a circumferential external thread 4.
- a injection insert 5 with an average cross section 6 that is smaller than the outlet cross section of the filling and emptying opening 3 is clamped into the filling and emptying opening 3.
- the product receptacle 1 is closed with a closure cap 7 with an internal thread 8, a two-part closure cap 7 with a child lock being shown in the figures.
- the closure cap 7 has a sealing dome 9 which engages in the mouth 6 of the injection insert 5 in the closed position and a concentric, elongated tubular extension 10.
- the injection insert 5 has an edge region 12 which projects radially beyond the edge contour 11 of the filling and emptying opening 3.
- the closure cap 7 In the transport, storage or closed position shown in FIG. 1, the closure cap 7 is screwed firmly with its internal thread 8 onto the external thread 4 of the filling and emptying opening 3 of the product receptacle 1.
- the sealing dome 9 engages in a sealing manner in the outlet opening 6 of the injection insert 5 and prevents an unwanted product leakage even when the product receptacle 1 is in a lying or overhead position.
- closure cap 7 is unscrewed from the filling and emptying opening 3 by simply placing it overhead or by applying pressure.
- the closure cap 7, as shown in FIG. 2, is loosely fitted onto the filling and emptying opening 3 and tilted.
- the lowest thread of the internal thread 8 of the closure cap 7 engages on one side behind the radially projecting edge region 12 of the injection insert 5.
- the corresponding lowest thread of the internal thread 8 of the closure cap 7 lies against a corresponding area of the External thread 4 of the filling and emptying opening 3 and is supported on it. This creates a leverage effect, which leads to a levering out of the spray insert 5 from the filling and emptying opening 3 when the force is applied further to the side (arrow A) on the closure cap 7.
- the injection insert 5 falls into the closure cap 7 and is stored therein in the overhead position, as is shown in FIG. 3.
- the product receptacle 1 can now be refilled.
- the closure cap 7 with the syringe insert 5 stored therein is first placed in reverse order on the filling and emptying opening 3 and then screwed tight. As a result, the injection insert 5 is clamped again in the filling and emptying opening 3. In the next application process, the closure cap 7 can then be unscrewed again from the filling and emptying opening 3 in the usual manner, the injection insert 5 is now firmly seated again.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described.
