Abstract

The clip closure is provided by a H-shaped moulded strap with pairs of hooked clip arms (10A/B,10C/D) on either side of a central section (10), engaging the edge of the container (20) and the edge of the container lid (30) respectively. The retaining force for the container lid is provided by the characteristic elasticity of the clip closure, which is made of a spring metal or plastics.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälterverschluß zur sicheren Halterung von zwei Behälterteilen, der möglichst einfach und kostengünstig sein soll, insbesondere einstückig ausführbar sein soll.The invention relates to a container closure for secure Holder of two container parts, the simplest possible and Should be inexpensive, in particular, it can be carried out in one piece should.

Ein solcher Behälterverschluß soll insbesondere Anwendung finden im Zusammenhang mit Kunststoffbehältern, wie sie zur Aufbewahrung und Transport von Lebensmitteln/Speisen/Getränken verwendet werden.Such a container closure is to be used in particular Connection with plastic containers, such as those for storage and Transport of food / dishes / drinks can be used.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälterverschluß besteht aus einem U-bügelähnlichen Formteil, vorzugsweise ein Spritzguß-Kunststoffteil, das aus einem zentralen Basisteil 10 gebildet ist, an dessen Rändern krallenähnlich ausgebildete Fortsätze 10A...10D anschließen. The container closure according to the invention consists of a U-shaped bracket Molded part, preferably an injection molded plastic part, the is formed from a central base part 10, at the edges thereof Connect claw-like extensions 10A ... 10D.

Dadurch wird ein einfacher Clip-Verschluß gebildet, mit dem zwei Behälterteile, insbesondere ein Aufnahmebehälter 20 mit zugehörigem Deckel 30 miteinander verschlossen werden können (Figur 1, Figur 2).This creates a simple clip closure with which two Container parts, in particular a receptacle 20 with associated Lid 30 can be closed together (Figure 1, Figure 2).

Zu diesem Zweck sind diese Behälterteile an übereinander liegenden Randbereichen mit einer Ausnehmung 20A,30A versehen, mit gegenüberliegenden wulstförmigen Erhebungen 20B,30B, deren Radius etwa dem Krümmungsradius der krallenähnlichen Fortsätze 10A...10D entspricht oder, bei entsprechend anderer Formgestaltung so ausgebildet ist, daß ein sicheres Hintergreifen ermöglicht wird, um ein unbeabsichtigtes Abziehen des Behälterverschlusses zu verhindern.For this purpose, these container parts are on top of each other Edge areas provided with a recess 20A, 30A, with opposite bead-shaped elevations 20B, 30B, the radius of which is about Radius of curvature of the claw-like extensions 10A ... 10D corresponds or, with a correspondingly different shape, is designed that safe reaching behind is made possible to a to prevent unintentional removal of the container closure.

Figur 1 zeigt den Behälterverschluß in der aufgeclipsten Position, bei der die Fortsätze 10A/B auf der Deckelseite und die Fortsätze 10C/D auf der Aufnahmebehälterseite form- und kraftschlüssig diese Erhebungen 20B,30B in den Ausnehmungen 20A/30A über- und hintergreifen und somit einen festen Sitz gewährleisten.FIG. 1 shows the container closure in the clipped-on position, where the extensions 10A / B on the cover side and the extensions 10C / D on the receptacle side positively and non-positively Elevations 20B, 30B in the recesses 20A / 30A over and reach behind and thus ensure a tight fit.

Figur 2 zeigt die Funktion des Behälterverschlusses bei der Montage/Demontage, was durch den großen Doppelpfeil angedeutet ist.Figure 2 shows the function of the container closure in the Assembly / disassembly, which is indicated by the large double arrow.

Wesentlich ist hierbei, daß das lichte Innenmaß L zwischen gegenüberliegenden Fortsätzen etwa dem Abstand der Scheitelflächen der Erhebungen 20B,30B von Behälter 20 und Deckel 30 entspricht, so daß durch ein elastisches Aufspreizen der Fortsätze, was in Figur 2 durch die beiden kleinen Doppelpfeile angedeutet ist, einerseits ein mit vertretbarem Kraftaufwand durchführbares Aufschnappen bzw. Wegziehen des Behälterverschlusses möglich ist, andererseits aber eine sichere Halterung des Deckels 30 auf dem Aufnahmeteil 20.It is essential here that the clear internal dimension L between opposite Extensions approximately the distance of the apex surfaces of the Elevations 20B, 30B of the container 20 and cover 30 corresponds, so that by an elastic spreading of the extensions, which is shown in FIG. 2 is indicated by the two small double arrows, on the one hand Can be snapped on or pulled away with reasonable effort the container closure is possible, but on the other hand a secure holding of the cover 30 on the receiving part 20.

Es versteht sich von selbst, daß für solche Anforderungen an die Federwirkung der Eigenelastizität insbesondere Kunststoffe geeignet sind, woraus sich die in den Figuren 3 bis 5 dargestellte, bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Behälterverschlusses als Kunststoff-Spritzteil ergibt, daß aber auch die in Figur 1 und 2 schematisch angedeutete Ausführungsform zum Einsatz kommen kann, bei der beispielsweise ein starres Basisteil 10 mit elastischen Metall- oder Kunststoff-Fortsätzen 10A/B bzw. 10C/D verbunden sein kann.It goes without saying that for such requirements on the Resilience of inherent elasticity particularly suitable for plastics are from which the shown in Figures 3 to 5, preferred embodiment of the container closure as a plastic injection molded part shows that but also in Figures 1 and 2 schematically indicated embodiment can be used in the for example a rigid base part 10 with elastic metal or Plastic extensions 10A / B or 10C / D can be connected.

Von Bedeutung beim bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel mit seiner H-förmigen Gesamtstruktur ist insbesondere auch, daß die Definition der Haltewirkung der krallenartigen Fortsätze und damit auch der Handhabungskräfte durch Wahl der Querschnittsgestaltung des Kunststoffspritzteils erreicht werden kann. Hierbei können auch lokale Querschnittsveränderungen eingesetzt werden, wie z.B. rippenartige Profilierungen P im Randbereich des Basisteils 10 oder eine Griffprofilierung 11 im Scheitelpunkt der Fortsätze 10A...10D, die das Aufclipsen und Abnehmen des Behälterverschlusses von den wulstförmigen Erhebungen 20B,30B der Behälterteile 20 und 30.Important in the preferred embodiment with its H-shaped Overall structure is particularly that definition the holding effect of the claw-like extensions and thus the Handling forces by choosing the cross-sectional design of the Injection molded plastic can be achieved. This can also local cross-sectional changes are used, e.g. rib-like profiles P in the edge region of the base part 10 or a grip profile 11 at the apex of the extensions 10A ... 10D, which the clipping and removal of the container closure from the bead-like elevations 20B, 30B of the container parts 20 and 30.

Bevorzugt ist das Basisteil 10 insgesamt schalenähnlich ausgebildet, d.h., in den beiden Schnittebenen A-A und B-B im wesentlichen bogenförmig gestaltet, derart, daß sich die Zentralebene in der Mitte des Basisteils 10 im aufgeclipsten Zustand in einem geringen Abstand von den gegenüberliegenden Randbereichen der wulstförmigen Erhebungen 20B,30B befindet. Dieser Abstand kann als eine Art Federweg dienen, der beim Aufclipsen und beim Abnehmen des Verschlusses die Spreizung der Fortsätze 10A...10D unterstützt, und im aufgeclipsten Zustand das sichere Hintergreifen der Erhebungen 20B,30B gewährleistet.The base part 10 is preferably designed like a shell overall, i.e. essentially in the two sectional planes A-A and B-B designed arcuate, such that the central plane in the Middle of the base part 10 in the clipped state in a small Distance from the opposite edge areas of the bead-shaped Elevations 20B, 30B is located. This distance can be seen as a kind Serve travel that when clipping and removing the Closure supports the expansion of the extensions 10A ... 10D, and when clipped on, the secure engagement of the elevations 20B, 30B guaranteed.
