Definitions
- a disadvantage of such known closure arrangements is that both the formation of threads on the inside of the closure cap and on the outside of the container mouth necessitates large wall pieces and thus a greater use of material, and accordingly entails high production costs.
- Another disadvantage is that the closure cap always has to be partially opened, so that the thread partially disengages before the pressure equalization takes place. As a result, the closure cap is no longer fully engaged with the container mouth at the time of pressure equalization, which means that there is a risk that the closure cap will be blown off via the thread.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the known, in particular to create a closure cap for closing a container with increased internal pressure, which can be produced easily and with little material consumption and nevertheless early release of the closure cap during the Opening process reliably prevented.
- the closure cap for closing a container with increased internal pressure essentially consists of a cap base and a cap wall, which is provided on its inside with a guideway of a bayonet thread.
- the guideway can be brought into engagement with retaining cams on the outside of the container mouth and has a detent position for releasing the gas before the cap is finally unscrewed.
- the locking position of the guideway is formed by at least one locking edge.
- the latching edge limits the unscrewing movement in such a way that the guideway engages with the entire retention surface of the retention cams on the container mouth during the entire gas release process. Thanks to the locking edge, it is not possible to move the closure cap over the locking position during the opening process before a complete pressure equalization has taken place.
- the guideway can be formed, for example, by two or more beads protruding inwards from the inside of the cap wall.
- the surface of these beads facing the cap base forms the retention surface with which the closure cap interacts with the retention cams on the outside of the container mouth.
- the guideway is defined between this surface and the side of an adjacent bead facing away from the cap bottom.
- the guideway is defined by four beads, ie the guideway consists of four individual partial tracks. One track is enclosed between two beads.
- the retaining cams are guided in a precisely defined manner during the screwing-on or opening process. This also reliably eliminates the risk of canting.
- Each bead extends over a winding area of approximately 160-200 °, preferably 180 °. With an even arrangement of the four beads on the circumference, there is an overlap of two adjacent ones Beads of about 90 °.
- each bead is formed by four sections. Two of these sections have no slope and are horizontal, i.e. parallel to the bottom of the cap. The other two sections have an incline. This slope is necessary to press the closure from the open position into a sealing position.
- a sealing position is defined.
- a gas release position is defined by the second horizontal section.
- the two horizontal sections are connected with a sloping section, so that when the cap is screwed on between the gas release position and the sealing position, the necessary sealing pressure can be achieved by the slope.
- the second sloping section is arranged at the beginning of each bead and enables the retention cams to be inserted easily into the guideways.
- the latching edge is preferably arranged at the end of the second horizontal section remote from the first horizontal section. So that the unscrewing movement of the closure cap is stopped until a complete pressure equalization is achieved, the locking edge is arranged on the surface facing the cap base of at least one bead.
- each individual bead is preferably provided with such a locking edge.
- the second horizontal section is advantageously longer than the first horizontal section is formed.
- the length of the second horizontal section defines the angular range of the rotary movement at which gas is released before the unscrewing movement is interrupted.
- each bead can be provided with a recess on an underside facing away from the cap base in the region of the latching edge of the bead located below it. This additionally increases the guidance of the retaining cams in the guideway. In this way, the distance between the horizontal sections of two adjacent beads can be selected such that the space corresponds to the thickness of the retaining cams of the container to be closed.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a closure cap according to the invention and a container mouth
- FIG. 2 cross section through a closure cap according to the invention
- FIG. 3 development of the inside of the closure cap from FIG. 2,
- FIG. 4 an enlarged section of the development from FIG. 3, FIG. 5a development with indicated retention cams in the sealing position,
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through a closure cap according to the invention.
- the locking edge 9 limiting the unscrewing movement is clearly visible.
- the closure cap 1 also has a sealing lip 17.
- the distance between two adjacent beads 11 is not constant over their entire length. In an area 16 of the inclined sections 13a, 13c, the distance between the beads 11 is greater than in an area 15 with the horizontal sections 13b, 13d. This is necessary so that a somewhat elongated retaining cam (cam 7 as shown in FIG. 1) does not become jammed in the region 16 of the sections 13a, 13c which run with an incline.
- the minimum distance between two adjacent beads 11 is defined by the locking edge 9.
- FIGS. 5a and 5c show a development of the inside of a closure cap according to the invention with schematically shown placed retention cams 7 of a container closure in a sealing position ( Figure 5a) and in a gas release position ( Figure 5b).
- the horizontal sections 13d engage the retaining cams 7.
- an end section 20 follows each of the horizontal sections 13d.
- the end section 20 is here also designed as a bevel, so that a precisely defined guideway 6 is formed together with the bevel section 13c underneath. In principle, however, it is conceivable to form the end section 20 vertically.
- the retaining cams 7 are guided from the sealing position shown in FIG. 5a to the venting position shown in FIG. 5b.
- the entire closure cap that is to say also the sealing device (not shown here) is raised by the sections 13c which run with an incline, which results in gas release when the internal pressure is increased.
- the movement of the retaining cams 7 is limited by the locking edges 9.
- the beads 11, with their surface facing the cap bottom are pressed firmly against the retaining tabs 7 by the internal pressure. Only when the internal pressure has been completely reduced can the closure cap be pressed down slightly, which allows the locking edges 9 to be overcome.
