Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a flask for liquids, such as, for instance, bath soap, shampoo and the like. In practice, the closure of such flasks frequently presents difficulties in that a relatively laborious manner of opening and closing is involved, through, for instance, a screw cap, or in that, for instance in the case of a snap closure, after pouring out a particular amount of liquid, leakage arises easily.
- The object of the invention is to provide a flask which can be opened and closed in a very simple manner and in which leakage is avoided virtually completely.
- To achieve this object, according to the invention, the flask comprises a liquid holder and a screening cap fixable thereon with a pouring opening and with a clip-shaped closure therefor, which clip-shaped closure comprises a first clip element and a second clip element which at one end is hingedly connected to the first clip element and at the other end is hingedly connected to the screening cap, which second clip element is provided with a closing element which fits into the pouring opening, while the clip-shaped closure can be brought from a position closing the pouring opening to a position clearing the pouring opening and vice versa by moving the first clip element in the direction away from the liquid holder, and towards the liquid holder, respectively.
- In a first embodiment, the first clip element is relatively rigid and, at the end remote from the hinged connection with the second clip element, is hingedly connected to the screening cap, and the second clip element is more flexible, while the second clip element both in the first and in the second position is substantially free from bending forces, and the clip-shaped closure can be brought from the first to the second position and vice versa while bending the second clip element.
- In a second embodiment, both clip elements are relatively rigid, and the first clip element, at the end remote from the hinged connection with the second clip element, is detachably connected to the screening cap, while after breaking the connection between the first clip element and the screening cap, the clip-shaped closure is movable away from the liquid holder, and the pouring opening is cleared, while the pouring opening can be closed by moving the clip-shaped closure towards the liquid holder and securing the relevant end of the first clip element on the screening cap. Preferably, in the hinge joints between the second clip element and the screening cap and the first clip element, respectively, a bias is provided, so that after releasing the connection between the first clip element and the screening cap, the two clip elements move directly in the direction away from the liquid holder.
- From a viewpoint of costs, it is favorable when the clip-shaped closure is manufactured as one whole from plastic and the hinged connections are obtained by deformation on folding seams.
- In order to prevent, when pouring out liquid from the liquid holder, the screening cap from being filled in its entirety, which readily gives rise to leakage at the connection of the screening cap to the liquid holder, there is provided in the screening cap an outflow space which is in communication with the pouring opening and which, when the screening cap is fitted on the liquid holder, connects to an outflow opening of this liquid holder, which is formed by a spout.
- In order to readily obtain, upon fitting the screening cap on the liquid holder, a proper connection of the outflow space to the pouring opening, the outflow space is bounded by an edge provided with lips, limiting the outflow opening. In particular, the lips fit into the outflow opening of the spout.
- To prevent the screening cap from being removed from the liquid holder in normal use, an annular element is present in the screening cap which, when the screening cap is fitted on the liquid holder, engages the spout under an edge on the outer side of the spout.
- The invention will now be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
- Fig. 1 schematically shows a cross section through the flask according to the invention;
- Fig. 2 schematically shows a longitudinal section through this flask;
- Fig. 3 schematically shows the clip-shaped closure therein;
- Fig. 4 shows in perspective the screening cap; and
- Fig. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a clip-shaped closure according to the invention.
-
- In the drawings, corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals.
- The flask in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises a
liquid holder 1, and ascreening cap 2, securable thereon, with apouring opening 3 and with a clip-shaped closure 4 therefor. The clip-shaped closure 4 comprises a first, relativelyrigid clip element 5 which is hingedly connected to thescreening cap 2, and a second, moreflexible clip element 6, which at one end is hingedly connected to thefirst clip element 5 and at the other end is hingedly connected to thescreening cap 2. Thesecond clip element 6 comprises aclosing element 7, which fits into thepouring opening 3. - In the exemplary embodiment shown, the clip-shaped closure is manufactured as one whole from plastic. The hinged connections therein are then formed by folding seams. The
first clip element 5 has, as is indicated in Fig. 4, a curved shape and is thus relatively rigid. The clip-shaped closure 4 has apart 8 fixedly connectable to thescreening cap 2. The transition of thispart 8 to thefirst clip element 5 is formed by a foldingseam 9. Thefirst clip element 5 is capable of hinging about this foldingseam 9. Thesecond clip element 6 consists of a flat strip and thus forms a flexible part of the clip-shaped closure 4 with respect to thefirst clip element 5. The transition between the two clip elements is formed by a foldingseam 10. The clip-shaped closure 4 further has a part 11 fixedly connectable to the upper part of thescreening cap 2. This part is fixedly connected to thescreening cap 2 via a run-through element 11'. The transition from the part 11 to thesecond clip element 6 is formed by a foldingseam 12. Thesecond clip element 6 is capable of hinging about thefolding seams first clip element 5 where it is hingedly connected to thesecond clip element 6, an outwardly projectingpart 13 is arranged to enable thefirst clip element 5 to be moved upwards therewith. - In a first position, in which the
pouring opening 3 is closed by theclosing element 7, the second clip element is in a virtually unstressed condition. This is also the case in a second position, in which the flask is opened and thefirst clip element 5 has reached its extreme position, as represented in Fig. 3 by chain-dotted lines. When the clip-shaped closure 4 is moved from the first to the second position or vice versa, this can only be done while bending thesecond clip element 6, as indicated in Fig. 3 by the broken lines. When thepart 13 is moved up, at some point the clip-shaped closure 4 will swing to its second position and the flask is opened for use. When after use thepart 13 is moved down, the clip-shaped closure 4 will at some point swing to its first position and the flask will be closed. - In the screening cap, an
outflow space 14 is present, which is in communication with thepouring opening 3 and which, when thescreening cap 2 is fitted on theliquid holder 1, connects to an outflow opening of theliquid holder 1, formed by aspout 16. Theoutflow space 14 is bounded by anedge 18 provided withlips 17. Thelips 17 fit into thespout 16. Theoutflow space 14 is further bounded entirely by theedge 18 fully surrounding theoutflow space 14 and extending up against the underside of thescreening cap 2. - Further, in the
screening cap 2, anannular element 19 is present, which, when the screening cap is fitted on the liquid holder, engages under anedge 20 on the outer side of thespout 16. Because the transition of theliquid holder 1 to thespout 16, which, for that matter, has a circular cross section, has an elliptical shape, theannular element 19 too is elliptical in shape. Theannular element 19 is connected with the underside of thescreening cap 2 throughstrips 21. The screening cap, theedge 18 with thelips 17, and thestrips 21 with theannular element 19 are manufactured as one whole from plastic. - Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of a clip-
shaped closure 4. In this embodiment, the twoclip elements first clip element 5 to thescreening cap 2 is detachable. For that purpose, therelevant end 22 of thefirst clip element 5 is hook-shaped and can be snapped into arecess 23 in thescreening cap 2. In this embodiment too, the clip-shaped closure is preferably manufactured as one whole. In thehinge joints end 22 is removed from therecess 23, the clip-shaped closure swings to the position represented in Fig. 5 and the pouring opening is cleared. When thefirst clip element 5 is moved down, i.e., in the direction of theliquid holder 1, thesecond clip element 6, by way of theclosing element 7, closes thepouring opening 3 and the flask is held in this closed position by clicking theend 22 into therecess 23. - The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented here, but comprises all kinds of modifications thereof, naturally insofar as they fall within the scope of protection of the following claims.
