Definitions
- the invention relates to a container closure with a lower closure part and a closure cap placed on a pouring spout of the lower closure part, the closure cap carrying a lid and a cap jacket formed thereon with at least one attachment, and the closure bottom part having at least one counter element to form a child safety device that works with the approach to create a snap connection.
- Such a container closure is known for example from DE 42 09 784 C 2.
- this child safety device To remove the screw cap, which is designed as a screw cap, from the pouring spout, this child safety device must be canceled. This is done by a user pressing the bellows in the area of the counter elements with one hand. As a result, the counter-elements disengage from the lugs. The screw cap is released so that it can be unscrewed from the pouring spout.
- the closure cap has force introduction means for introducing a tensile or compressive force (F), that the tensile or compressive force is introduced into the lower closure part by means of force transmission means, that the closure lower part has the counter element by means of a transition ⁇ piece spaced to the line of force of the force introduced into the lower closure part, so that the elastically adjustable with respect to the approach counter element can be deflected.
- F tensile or compressive force
- a force can be introduced into the closure cap via the force introduction means, for example a handle. This force is introduced into the lower part of the closure. Because the counter element is now held at a distance from the force line of the force introduced into the lower part of the closure, a torque can be generated which ultimately displaces the counter element relative to the approach. As a result, the latching connection is released so that the closure cap can be removed, for example twisted off.
- a child lock is easy to use. It can preferably be lifted with a single hand, since the pulling or pushing movement can be superimposed on the removal movement of the closure cap. Nevertheless, the function of securing against unauthorized access is retained.
- the pouring spout of the lower closure part is provided with an external thread which, together with an internal thread of the closure cap, forms the force transmission means, that the transition piece designed as a circumferential ring is elastically formed on the cylindrical pouring spout, and that the transition piece carries, on its area facing away from the pouring spout, a plurality of counter-elements spaced apart from one another at the same pitch.
- the closure cap is thus designed as a screw cap which can be unscrewed from the internal thread of the pouring spout. Because the force transmission means are formed by the internal thread of the closure cap and the external thread of the pouring spout, a space-saving design is possible with little effort.
- a high force can be transmitted via the threads.
- the force required to release the latching connection can thus also be set within a wide range.
- a torque is introduced into the transition piece, which causes the counter-elements to be adjusted.
- the transition piece is designed as a circumferential ring, a plurality of counter-elements can be arranged, preferably in the same division, distributed over the circumference of the pouring spout. All counter elements can be deflected at once by means of a single pulling or pushing movement.
- a possible container closure is characterized according to the invention in that the approaches are directed outwards, facing away from the pouring spout on which Cap shell of the closure cap is integrally formed and arranged in a uniform division over the circumference of the cylindrical cap shell, that the transition piece has an upward circumferential collar which carries the counter-elements, which cooperate inwardly with the lugs, and that the area of the lugs supporting the lugs Cap jacket is at least partially bordered by the collar and the pouring spout.
- the removal of the locking connections between the individual approaches and the counter-elements is now preferably possible in that the entire collar is folded outwards.
- the detent connection is canceled in that the collar is displaced or pivoted inwards in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the container closure.
- An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that an elastic bellows is formed on the transition piece of the pouring spout and at a distance from it, that the bellows is connected to the transition piece turned away from an annular base part into which the pouring spout can be inserted by means of the bellows and that the base part can be locked in an opening of the container by means of a locking projection. Because the pouring spout is held at a distance from the elastic bellows via the transition piece, the transition piece can be changed with respect to its starting position when the pouring spout is moved as a result of the force introduced. This change in location can be for the Formation or cancellation of the locking connection can be used.
- the lugs and / or the counter-elements are provided with bevels inclined in the screw-on direction, which merge into steep locking flanks, then it is possible to screw the closure cap onto the pouring spout without problems. Unscrewing is prevented by the steep locking flanks and is only possible if the approaches are shifted relative to the counter elements.
- An embodiment of the invention provides that the force introduction means of the closure cap are designed as handles which can be extended from the non-use position into a use position.
- the handles make handling the container closure easy. Because the handles can be swung out of a non-use position into a use position, the closure can only be opened when the handles are in the open position. This provides additional security, as a child will not necessarily have to open the handles.
- FIG. 1 is a side view in section of a container closure consisting of the lower part and the closure cap,
- Fig. 2 is a detailed representation marked X in Figure 1 in
- FIG. 3 shows the container closure according to FIG. 1 in view of the A-
- FIG. 4 shows the detail identified by Y in FIG. 3 in a sectional view. lung.
- Figure 1 shows a container closure, which consists of a lower closure part 10 and a closure cap 20.
- the lower closure part 10 has a base part 1 1 that carries a locking projection 1 1 .1.
- the locking lower part 10 can be locked in an opening of a container by means of this locking projection 1 1 .1.
- the insertion movement of the lower part of the closure into the opening is limited by means of the flange 12 which adjoins the latching shoulder 11.1.
- the flange 12 strikes against the outside of the container when the catch 1.1 1 is inserted into the opening.
- a bellows 13 is formed on the flange 12 and carries a pouring spout 17 on its side facing away from the base part 11.
- the pouring spout 17 can be inserted into the opening surrounded by the base part 1 1.
- the pouring spout 17 is provided with an external thread.
- the closure cap 20 can be screwed onto the outer thread.
- it has a cap jacket 21 which is provided with an internal thread.
- the cap jacket carries a cover 22.
- the cap jacket 21 carries two force introduction means 23, which are designed in the form of handles.
- the force transmission means can be pivoted out of a basic position, in which they form a unit with the cover 22, into a use position. With the force introduction means 23, the pouring spout 17 pushed into the base part 11 can be drawn up.
- the extended position is illustrated in FIG. 1.
- a sealing plate 25 is arranged in the pouring spout 17. It is connected to the inner wall of the pouring spout 17 via predetermined breaking points.
- a handle 24 is provided for removing the sealing plate 25. When the closure cap 20 is removed, the handle 24 is accessible so that the sealing plate 25 can be broken out.
- the collar 14 carries inwardly facing counter elements 15. Matched to the counter elements 15, 20 approaches 26 are arranged on the cap jacket 21 of the closure cap. The lugs 26 are directed away from the pouring spout 17. This constellation is shown in more detail in FIG. 2. As can be seen from this illustration, the pouring spout 17 merges into the bellows 13 via a transition piece 16.
- the transition piece 16 is designed as a circumferential ring which extends transversely to the central longitudinal axis of the container closure. In the transition area between the transition piece 16 and bellows 13, the collar 14 directed upward is formed.
- the collar 14 carries the counter elements 15 which cooperate with the lugs 26 of the cap jacket 21.
- a force F is now introduced into the closure cap 20 via the force introduction means 23 (see FIG. 1).
- This force F is introduced into the cap jacket 21 via the cover 22.
- the internal thread of the cap jacket 21 forms, together with the external thread of the pouring spout 17, force transmission means 18, 27, by means of which the force F can be introduced into the pouring spout 17.
- FIG. 2 shows in more detail, the force F is now transferred to the force F1, which acts in the pouring spout 17. This force is transmitted via the transition piece 16 into the bellows 13.
- transition piece 16 holds the collar 14 and thus the counter-elements 15 at a distance from the force line of the force F1, a torque is generated.
- This torque causes the collar 14 to fold outward, so that the counter-elements 15 come out of engagement with the lugs 26, whereby the latching connection is released.
- the cap 20 can thus be unscrewed from the pouring spout 17.
- FIG. 3 shows the container closure according to FIG. 1 in a top view of the section A, B shown.
- the circular circumferential collar 14 carries the counter-elements 15. They are arranged at the same pitch from one another.
- the lugs 26, which are integrally formed on the cap jacket 21, are likewise spaced apart from one another.
- the lugs 26 and the counter-elements 15 have inclined deflections in the screw-on direction, which merge into steep locking flanks.
- the deflection slopes slide onto each other.
- the counter-elements 15 are pressed outwards, so that the collar 14 extends laterally. The unscrewing of the screw cap is prevented by the steep locking flanks lying against one another.
- the latching connection can also be released by introducing a compressive force into the force introduction means 23 of the closure cap 20. This would be the case, for example, if the cap shell 21 would overlap the collar 14. The counter-elements would then be directed outwards on the collar 14 and the shoulders 26 on the cap jacket 21 would be directed inwards. By applying a compressive force in the closure cap 20, the collar 14 would fold inwards.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 it is also conceivable that the version of a container closure shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is modified such that the cap jacket 21 has the projections 26 on the end face.
- the counter elements 15 would then be positioned on the transition piece 16 facing upwards. By introducing a tensile force F into the force transmission means 23, the shoulders 26 would disengage from the counter elements 15.
