Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic tube consisting of a tube body and a tube cap for flowable or free-flowing or pasty ingredients.
  • the plastic tube according to the invention has a signal band (guarantee closure) and a cap locking mechanism which locks the tube cap to the tube body when the tube cap is screwed onto the tube body
  • a disadvantage of this sealing technique lies in the possibility that after opening the tube for the first time a new seal is glued to the parting line and thus gives the impression that there is an undamaged tube. Another disadvantage is the necessity to rotate the tube to check the integrity of the seal until the seal is visible; an activity that can be very time consuming and tedious.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the technical problem of creating a plastic tube consisting of a tube cap and a tube body which, on the one hand, has a permanent fastening of the tube cap which ensures sealing, even with screw threads with a large thread pitch allows the tube body, and on the other hand has an easily recognizable seal that works reliably even with small plastic tubes.
  • the present invention solves the above problem with a plastic tube which according to claim 1 has a locking mechanism consisting of a locking cam and a locking recess.
  • the present invention solves the above problem with a plastic tube which, according to patent claim 17, has a sealing tape formed on the tube cap.
  • the present invention comprises complementary elements both with regard to the sealing tape and with regard to the locking mechanism, which are each arranged on the tube body and the tube cap. According to the invention, protection is therefore sought not only for the respective combination of tube cap and tube body, but also for the respective tube cap and the tube body itself.
  • the plastic tube according to the invention is provided with a tube locking mechanism, which consists of at least one locking cam and a complementary recess that receives the locking cam.
  • the tube is locked with the aid of the locking mechanism according to the invention in that the tube cap is placed on the tube body and then screwed on to an end position in which the locking cam resiliently springs into the recess and latches therein.
  • the tube cap advantageously also has a forced demolding stage.
  • This is advantageously arranged close to the locking cams, shifted towards the ceiling side of the tube cap, and has the effect that the locking cams are hardly damaged during their forced demolding. This is because the forced demolding causes the tube cap to be pre-stretched, which largely prevents the locking cams from being deformed.
  • the inventor of the present invention has carried out tests and found that the tube cap, which is identical per se, allows the tube cap with the tube demoulding to be considerably improved when the tube cap is locked. / 41041 TCT / EP97 / 02223
  • the tube cap is designed as a so-called standing cap with an essentially cylindrical shape, the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the largest diameter of the main tube body.
  • the screw thread advantageously covers only about a third of the inner wall of the cap, the at least one locking cam being arranged on the remaining part of the inner wall of the cap. This ensures that the tube cap can be screwed onto the tube body without problems, and the tube locking elements only interact when the tube cap has reached its end position in the screwed-on state.
  • the at least one locking cam is diamond-shaped or lens-shaped.
  • a shaping has proven to be particularly advantageous in two respects: on the one hand, it is easy to implement in terms of production technology, since injection molding processes are conventionally used to produce the tube caps, the tools of which can easily be provided with the corresponding shaping.
  • lens-shaped or diamond-shaped locking cams are preferred with regard to their locking function, since the locking cam can be easily inserted into the corresponding recess and brought out again, and nevertheless an adequate fixation is ensured.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in forming the recess, which is complementary to the locking cams, as a throat encircling the tube shoulder.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that no positioning of the at least one locking cam in the tube cap relative to the screw thread is necessary; it jumps into the recess formed as a throat if as a result the screwing movement, the corresponding axial position of the tube cap in relation to the tube body is reached.
  • six locking cams are provided, which are arranged symmetrically on the inner circumference of the tube cap; this has proven to be particularly advantageous with regard to a secure locking.
  • the locking cam is designed as a web running over the inner circumference of the tube cap. This embodiment allows an optimal locking of the tube cap, which is easy to manufacture in terms of production technology.
  • the tube cap additionally has a sealing ring arranged on the cap bottom, which seals the outlet opening of the tube when the tube cap is locked.
  • entrainment elements are provided between the tube cap and the sealing tape in addition to the connecting webs.
  • These entrainment elements enable the use of particularly thin (and therefore easily tearing) connecting webs, and on the other hand a safe and reliable first unscrewing of the cap with sealing tape, especially on very small tubes.
  • the entrainment elements either those on the cap or those on the guarantee band
  • the circumferential sides of the sealing band and the tube cap can be equipped with a variety of driving elements, which enables a particularly safe first screwing.

  • the cylindrical middle part contains the locking recess 30 to be described in more detail in connection with FIG. 2 and can consist of a layer laminate, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the locking recess 30 can be seen from FIG. 2 (which represents a detailed view of FIG. 1).
  • the locking recess 30 consists of a throat 31 running around the circumference of the tube middle part 22, the underside of which is designed as a flat bed 31a, which has a diameter of approx. Locked in this throat 31 is the one according to the invention, to be described in more detail in connection with FIG. writing locking cam 110 of the tube cap 100 when it approaches its end position in the screwed-on state.

  • the recess 30 can also be circumferentially limited in accordance with the shape of the locking cam.
  • this embodiment is not optimal, since a defined positioning of the locking cam in relation to the recess is necessary before screwing on, in order to ensure that the cam actually reaches the recess in its end position.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the tube cap 100 according to the invention.
  • this tube cap 100 is advantageously designed as a stand cap 100, which allows the tube to be placed on the head, the top side 150 serving as a tube base.

  • the diameter of the sealing ring is preferably designed such that it sits on the nozzle-shaped end part 23 of the tube shoulder 20 when the cap is screwed on, in order to seal it. This is particularly important if ingredients are kept in the tube that should not come into contact with the environment when the tube is closed, for example in order to prevent the escape of aroma or solvents.

  • six locking cams are provided which have a lenticular or diamond shape.
  • Such shaping has two advantages: Firstly, it is easy to manufacture in terms of production technology, since the corresponding injection molding tools can easily be designed accordingly. On the other hand, locking cams designed in this way allow easy sliding into the corresponding locking recess 30, at the same time ensuring a tight fit.
  • the locking cams 110 (for example two or more) are distributed symmetrically around the inner circumference of the cap 100.
  • a plurality of locking cams 110 can also be provided, so that in the limit case there is a locking web running along the inner wall of the cap.

  • the locking cams 110 are located close to the threaded part 120 of the tube cap 100; they are both in the lower third of the tube cap. This has the advantage that the axial displacement torque triggered by the thread 120 is transmitted as directly as possible to the locking cams in order to effectively pull them into the complementary recess 30 of the tube shoulder 20. If the locking cams are arranged approximately in the upper third of the tube cap 100, the elasticity of the tube cap material and the resulting deformation can result in the locking cam 110 not jumping into the correspondingly provided recess in a form-fitting manner.

  • surface 570 which is shown inclined slightly upwards, such as a horizontal surface orientation or a surface orientation pointing downwards.
  • the narrowing of the surfaces 570 and 370 is decisive for the later hold and resistance that the sealing tape 300 brings against the turning off of the tube cap, so that this must be taken into account when dimensioning.
  • the webs must not be designed too strongly, since otherwise they cannot be severed by the torque to be applied and the tensile stress associated therewith, and the sealing tape 300 would be pulled back upward over the annular bead 500.
  • FIG. 4C shows a special variant of the sealing tape arrangement according to the invention, for which protection is sought in detail.
