Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-closing closure with one cap, one in the cap trained through opening and assigned to the through opening arranged membrane according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention deals with the technical Problem, a more convenient self-closing Specify closure. It is also aimed at one to achieve a cheap closure. In addition, the cheapest possible installation sought.
  • the invention also deals with the technical problem, one for the closure mentioned to specify advantageous sealing membrane.
  • the sealing membrane in unactuated installation condition a lower bracket edge and an upper one that is substantially concave Has a closure blanket, the closure blanket further and the bracket edge through a connecting wall are connected.
  • the installation state the sealing membrane by turning the Sealing membrane after an injection molding process is reached.
  • the concave trained blanket is on the one hand in their Closure state due to radially acting forces of inverted connecting wall advantageously biased.
  • the connecting wall can preferably go further from an edge connection to the closure ceiling, still based on the installed state, in a Retraction below a projection surface of the shutter ceiling continue.
  • the cover in the manufacturing state (sprayed state) essentially cylindrical, starting from the cover blanket.
  • this can vary according to the desired properties of the sealing membrane also a variation with regard to a conical design be made.
  • the continuation in one Retraction below the projection surface of the ceiling creates a goblet-like design the closure membrane in this area as a whole.
  • the connecting wall is also in the installed state essentially cylindrical below and in Connection to the blanket extends. This too especially when the inversion mentioned is not made after the manufacturing process. in the individual is particularly described in relation to the upside down installation condition is advantageous that the Breech blanket has a greater thickness at the edge than the boundary wall.
  • the cover blanket can starting from its edge area continuously rejuvenate inside.
  • the boundary wall is regarding an edge of the cover blanket which appears in cross section the sealing membrane in an upper area connected - again based on the installed state - And a lower free edge area of the edge the closing ceiling is overlaid by the boundary wall.
  • the sealing membrane Due to the prevailing radial forces and the resulting prestress in the sealing membrane and in particular the cover of the Sealing membrane are further advantageous properties reached when actuating the closure membrane.
  • the preferred in the cover blanket provided radial opening slots from a certain Reliable and almost instantaneous printing.
  • the squeeze bottle on which the closure applied results in in a conventional manner retraction of the closure cover to the initial concave state and then a breakthrough down with an air suction, which despite the described, prevailing in the cover blanket Tensions not a major one, but rather one requires less effort or negative pressure.
  • the connecting wall in the spray state in runs essentially cylindrical. As already mentioned can be changed by changing the angle in the Connecting wall (in a cross-sectional view), however also the described, in the upturned state itself resulting prestress on the cover blanket or a Funnel formation can be influenced and varied.
