Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure cap for openings of containers, which are used in particular for the storage of cleaning agents, cosmetics or the like, consisting of a cap housing that can be placed on the container opening in a media-tight manner and has at least one metering opening that can be closed by a tubular closure element, and one that can be pivoted into the cap housing , which can be fastened and flowed through with the media, with which the container opening can optionally be sealed and opened.
- Such a closure device is from DE-A-195 41 830 and US-A-3 542 256.
- the locking device according to DE-A-19 541 830 is by pressure on one side of the head plate the metering opening is released, so that in the container containing medium can leak.
- the headstock leaves lock in different positions by cams, whereby the metering opening is released more or less, so that the media flow increases or decreases accordingly.
- the cap cannot be opened be prevented. This is particularly problematic when the containers are transported and the cap e.g. B. by hitting or resting against the headstock Objects are opened unintentionally.
- the invention is based on the object, a generic Cap to evolve that an unintended Do not open by depressing the head plate is possible.
- this object is achieved in that Shell surface of the cap housing at least two essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap housing, slot-like material recesses are formed so that a locking lever is formed between these material recesses which is connected to the cap housing via material bridges and that the head plate with the locking lever in the closed position is firmly lockable.
- EP-A-585 501 is a closure device for one Container known, which has a separate component, which should prevent the head plate from being depressed.
- US-A-4 424 920 discloses a pump for a container, in which the pump button is pressed down on the pump button trained locking means should be prevented.
- the closure cap of the invention is preferably designed such that that the locking device engages in at least one recess, which is formed on the head plate, or below the Head plate can be put on. In this way, a positive fixed locking realized.
- the manufacture of the cap significantly simplified because the locking lever is not an additional Component by means of cams, for example, which are suitably designed Recesses sit, must be fastened, but can be molded directly onto the cap housing.
- cams for example, which are suitably designed Recesses sit
- the cap housing can also subsequently be provided with incisions in accordance with the above Material recesses run and so one Form locking lever.
- conventional sealing caps can also be used without locking lever, in which in the injection mold no recesses are provided, subsequently with a such locking lever are provided.
- the between that Locking lever and the cap housing formed material bridges are designed in such a way that they are suitable Have preload and stability to close the Ensure closure cap.
- the cap housing has in the area of the locking lever on its lateral surface Recess, whose lowest point is approximately in the area of the lower edge the head plate is located in the closed state.
- the locking lever can be easily under the lower Grip the peripheral edge of the head plate without an additional Locking device, such as a groove or the like, must be provided for the engagement of the locking lever. If the upper end of the locking lever slightly over the lower peripheral edge the head plate protrudes when it snaps into place of the locking lever under the head plate ensures that the Connection is held under tension and the locking lever can't jump out by itself.
- the outer surface of the cap housing four substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the Has cap housing extending material recesses, of which two from the top of the cap body and two converge from the lower end of the cap housing, and that the material bridges between the one another tapered material recesses are formed.
- the locking lever has the shape a tab formed on the cap housing.
- Other useful Embodiments of the locking lever are possible, so can this can be conical, for example.
- the closure cap according to the invention is preferably made of plastic sprayed. To the locking lever and its position more clearly To highlight, this can vary in color of the rest of the cap housing distinguishing color be. In the same way, troughs on the locking lever, Grids or signal words, such as "Press", are molded around to make its functionality clear to the user.
- the material recesses preferably arranged so that the material bridges are formed at the level of the transverse wall.
- This internal attachment the locking lever on the transverse wall increases durability, there is another fastening surface in addition to the material bridges is formed.
- the fastening of the cross wall at the locking lever can be designed so that this one additional restoring force or clamping force on the locking lever exercises.
- Closure cap is at least one of the material recesses on the side wall of the cap housing and / or the Locking lever formed at least one locking cam.
- the locking cam acts as a reset lock for the locking lever.
- each is on the opposite side walls Material recess formed locking cams that together in the Stand by. It is particularly advantageous if the locking cams face each other.
- a further manufacturing simplification of the invention Cap is achieved when the locking cams in one piece the cap housing and / or the locking lever are formed.
- a further advantageous embodiment is on the upper Front end of the locking lever on the inside of a locking pocket formed, to which at least the outer peripheral side the cap can be put on.
- This locking pocket grants to a proper seat of the locking lever of the cap in the closed position. Besides that, too prevents the locking lever from being excessively applied Forces slipped under the cap and possibly due to the excessive torsional forces. By this slipping through, the cap would too no longer held in their target position or closed position become.
- a locking tab be formed, which the cap in closed state. This tab can then also be designed so that it breaks off when the locking lever out brought its closed position into the open position becomes. In this way, the locking lever also functions as Tamper-evident closure.
- the injection molds of the closure cap can be designed in this way be that the locking lever transversely to the lateral surface of the cap housing runs. In this way, the preload of the Locking lever increased. In addition, can be ensured in this way be that the locking lever by itself always the locking position takes without being biased by the user got to. The user must then be aware of the locking lever each time Remove to expose the dosing opening of the cap.
- cap without recess and Locking pocket has the upper end of the locking lever on the inside preferably at least one cam below of the rocker arm can be applied or in one on the rocker arm trained recess engages. Even without a recess so the form fit is realized. It goes without saying that reverse path conceivable, i.e. a cam on the rocker arm is formed, which corresponds in a on the rocker arm trained groove engages.
- the head plate is designed as a head cover.
- the head cover lies on the entire peripheral edge of the upper end of the cap housing.
- the headstock can but only over a certain area of the top the cap extend so that this is a strip forms the inside of this sealing cap is mobile.
- closure cap according to the invention is exemplary in the drawing illustrated and below using the Drawings described in detail.
- the cap 1 from a cap housing 2, on which a head plate 4 by means of cams engaging in pockets, which in the Figures are not shown, is tiltably attached.
- the Cap 1 is at the container opening 3 by means of a attached with an internally threaded socket 5.
- This Attachment can be designed to be detachable and non-detachable.
- the nozzle 5 can also by means of others be attached to the container opening 3 by a suitable method, such as a snap lock.
- the nozzle 5 is on the cap housing 2 with a substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis the closure cap extending transverse wall 6 on the inside attached to the outer surface of the cap housing 2.
- the cap is actuated by actuating the head plate 4 the closed position shown in Figure 1 in the open position transferred, as exemplified in Figure 2 is, the lower end of the tubular end Closure element 7 spaced from the sealing seat 8 and the outlet channel 9 with its the inner wall of the cap housing 2 facing end pivoted up and so the outlet opening arranged at the end of the outlet channel 9 10 arranged above the cap housing edge.
- the locking lever 11 which reaches under the lower edge of the head plate 4, be brought out of the closed position. This is done in on the lower end of the locking lever 11a by the user Pressure is exerted. The force exerted in this way is released with the lever arm of the locking lever 6, the locking lever 6 from its closed position.
- the fulcrum of the lever arm is at Material bridges 12, on the torsion moment by the lever arm is exercised. The material properties of the plastic the material bridges 12 generate the corresponding restoring force of the locking lever 6.
- the locking lever 6 be molded from the outset so that it is transverse to the lateral surface of the cap housing 2, so that the upper end 11b is always arranged in the closed position and only by deliberately releasing it by pressing on the lower end of the locking lever 11a out of this closed position can.
- the design of the locking lever 6 is in particular from FIG. 3 evident.
- the outer surface of the cap housing 2 has four essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap housing 2 running material recesses 13, 14, two of which the upper end face of the cap housing 15 and two of the lower end face of the cap housing 16 converge, so that the material bridges 12 are formed between them become.
- the material recesses run in the form shown in FIG 13 and 14 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap housing 2. Of course, these can also be inclined Longitudinal axis of the cap housing 2 run.
- the cap housing 2 has in the area of the locking lever 11 its outer surface has a recess 17, the deepest Point 17a approximately in the area of the lower edge of the head plate 4 is located.
- the head plate 11 lies in the closed position on the upper end of the locking lever 11b and clamps it on, so that the unit is always kept under tension and an independent release of the flap is not possible is.
- closure flap can also be designed in this way be that the lowest point of the recess 17a above the is arranged at the upper end of the locking lever 11b.
- the locking lever 11 then extends transversely to the lateral surface of the case Cap housing 2, so that this by itself in the transverse position stands and not from the head plate 4 in this position must be kept.
- this locking pocket 18 lies in the closed position the outer peripheral edge of the head plate 4, whereby due to the positive connection, the locking lever is more firmly seated 11 is guaranteed. At the same time it prevents that the locking lever during the locking process below the head plate 4 is pushed through and may break off.
- the locking lever 11 can also be on its inside have additional, not shown, the tab, deliberately reaches around the lower edge of the head plate 4.
- Plastic the cap or this tab can then be two Be trained types. For one thing, it can be such that it the head plate when releasing the locking lever while applying releases a certain predefined force and on the other hand it can be designed so that it during this release process breaks off.
- the second solution is therefore one Tamper-evident protection for the closure cap according to the invention 1 represents.
- the material bridges 12 do not have to be shown in FIG. 3 Location. These can also be found at the bottom End of the locking lever 11b or further at the upper end of the locking lever 11a be located, whereby the minimum force to be applied also changed. They can also be essential be formed wider than in Figure 3, whereby the restoring force or the force to be applied for unlocking accordingly the operating conditions are changed.
- the locking lever 11 does not necessarily take as long as to be shown in Figure 3. It can also be much shorter, be formed as the remaining cap 2 or protrude beyond the lower end face of the cap housing 16, so that it is formed, for example, in a suitable container Trough engages.
- the closure cap according to the invention allows an unintentional To prevent opening, for example during transport. Due to the material design of the cap or arrangement of locking cams can be applied to unlock Power designed according to the conditions of use become.
- the manufacture of the closure cap according to the invention is particularly easy since there are no other parts for the locking lever must be attached in separate steps, but the whole cap is injected in one piece can.
- the lever can be in its closure and Opening position can be fixed.
- the locking lever be molded onto the cap housing so that it by itself automatically takes the locking position.
