Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schraubverschluß für Flaschen, insbesondere für unter Druck stehende Getränkeflaschen, bestehend aus einem in der Grundform zylindrischen Mantel mit Innengewinde und einer im wesentlichen kreisscheibenförmigen Kopfplatte, an deren Innenseite eine dünne, ringförmige Dichtungskappe angeordnet ist und an deren Übergang zum zylindrischen Mantel auf der Innenseite ein Wulst zum Anpressen der Dichtungskappe an den oberen, äußeren Rand der Flaschenhalsmündung vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to a screw cap for bottles, in particular for pressurized beverage bottles, consisting of one in the basic form cylindrical jacket with an internal thread and a substantially circular disc Head plate with a thin, ring-shaped sealing cap on the inside is arranged and at the transition to the cylindrical jacket on the inside a bead for pressing the sealing cap against the upper, outer edge the mouth of the bottle neck is provided.

Ein derartiger Verschluß ist aus der EP-A-0 114 127 bekannt. Bei dem bekannten Verschluß sind sowohl auf der Innenseite als auch auf der Außenseite zwei schräg zur Verschlußachse verlaufende Dichtungsstreifen vorgesehen, die eine V-förmige Öffnung bilden, in welche der Flaschenhalsrand beim Aufschrauben des Verschlusses eingreift. Durch die V-förmige Schrägstellung der beiden Dichtungsstreifen werden diese beim Aufschrauben auf den Flaschenhalsrand im wesentlichen vertikal nach oben gedrückt und weggeklappt, wobei sie sich an den Flaschenhals mehr oder weniger dicht anlegen und in die beiderseits der Dichtungsstreifen vorgesehenen Freiräume hineingedrückt werden. Der Grund der V-förmigen Öffnung der beiden Dichtungsstreifen steht gegenüber der Fläche der Kopfplatte etwas vor, so daß das weitere Aufschrauben und Zusammendrücken der Dichtungsstreifen durch den Eingriff dieses Grundes mit dem oberen Flaschenhalsrand begrenzt wird.Such a closure is known from EP-A-0 114 127. With the well-known Closure are two oblique on the inside as well as on the outside sealing strips extending to the closure axis are provided, which are V-shaped Form the opening into which the edge of the bottle neck when screwing on the cap intervenes. Due to the V-shaped inclination of the two sealing strips this is essentially vertical when screwed onto the edge of the bottle neck pushed up and folded away, more or less on the bottle neck Apply less tightly and in the provided on both sides of the weather strips Free spaces are pushed in. The bottom of the V-shaped opening of the two Sealing strip protrudes slightly from the surface of the head plate, so that further screwing and compression of the sealing strips through the intervention this reason is limited by the upper edge of the bottle neck.

Aus der US-A-4,623,070 ist ein Verschluß bekannt, der ebenfalls die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 aufweist. Bei diesem verläuft der Dichtungsstreifen im wesentlichen entlang einer zur Achse des Verschlusses stark geneigten Konusfläche. Der Flaschenhalsrand erfaßt diesen Dichtungsstreifen entlang der konischen Fläche von unten und drückt diesen ebenfalls im wesentlichen nach oben in einen dafür vorgesehenen Freiraum in der Kopfplatte.From US-A-4,623,070 a closure is known which also features the Preamble of claim 1. The sealing strip runs through this substantially along a steeply inclined to the axis of the closure Conical surface. The bottle neck edge grips this sealing strip along the conical Area from below and also essentially pushes it upwards a space provided in the headstock.

Im Stand der Technik sind daneben noch weitere Kunststoffverschlüsse bekannt, welche anstelle eines einstückig angeformten Dichtungsstreifens eine getrennte Dichtungsscheibe oder einen getrennten Dichtungsring vorsehen, der vor dem Aufschrauben des Verschlusses in diesen eingelegt wird. Derartige Verschlüsse werden nach dem Befüllen der Flaschen in Verschließmaschinen aufgebracht. Nach Verlassen der Verschließmaschine kann ein Absprühen von an der Flaschenwandung haftenden Getränkeresten eingeleitet werden. Bei verschiedenen Getränken ist es aber erwünscht, auch den Mündungsbereich von Getränkeresten zu befreien, um Verunreinigungen und Schimmelbildungen in diesem Bereich bzw. unter dem Verschluß auszuschließen. Dieses kann aber, um das in der Flasche befindliche Getränk nicht mit Reinigungsmitteln zu belasten, nur bei einer abgedichteten Flasche erfolgen.In addition, further plastic closures are known in the prior art, which instead of an integrally molded sealing strip a separate one Provide a sealing washer or a separate sealing ring, which you can screw on of the closure is inserted into this. Such closures are applied after filling the bottles in capping machines. After leaving the capping machine can spray off adhering to the bottle wall Beverage residues are initiated. With different drinks it is desirable to also clear the mouth area of beverage residues to avoid contamination and mold in this area or under the seal to exclude. But this cannot, in order to avoid the drink in the bottle with cleaning agents, only take place with a sealed bottle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schraubverschluß für Flaschen zu schaffen, mit dem eine Vorabdichtung der Flasche erzielt werden kann, wobei der Mündungsbereich im wesentlichen freibleibt. Gleichzeitig soll vorgesehen sein, den Abdichtungsvorgang und Reinigungsprozeß mit anschließendem Verschluß in einer Verschließmaschine durchzuführen, wobei auf zusätzliche Verschlußauflegevorrichtungen verzichtet werden kann.The invention has for its object to a screw cap for bottles create with which a pre-sealing of the bottle can be achieved, the Mouth area remains essentially free. At the same time, it should be provided that Sealing and cleaning process with subsequent closure in one Capping machine to perform, with additional closure placement devices can be dispensed with.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Schraubverschluß der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Dichtungskappe im unteren Bereich nahe der unteren Öffnung des Schraubverschlusses angeordnet und durch Verschiebung und/oder Verdrehung der Teile zueinander gegen die Kopfplatte verbringbar ist.This object is achieved with a screw cap of the type mentioned solved that the sealing cap in the lower area near the lower opening the screw cap arranged and by displacement and / or rotation the parts can be brought towards each other against the head plate.

Ferner wird in eigenständiger Ausbildung vorgeschlagen, daß die Dichtungskappe in dem unteren Bereich des Schraubverschlusses angeordnet und durch Verdrehen des Schraubverschlusses auf die Mündung der Flasche gegen die obere Kopfplatte verbringbar ist.It is also proposed in independent training that the sealing cap in the lower area of the screw cap and by twisting the screw cap on the mouth of the bottle against the upper head plate is spendable.

Weitere Ausbildungen ergeben sich aus den weiteren Ansprüchen.Further training results from the further claims.

Mit der Ausbildung des Verschlusses ist zunächst eine Abdichtung der Flasche gewährleistet, die dann insbesondere im kritischen Mündunsbereich durch ortsfeste oder mitlaufende Hochdrucksprüheinrichtungen, wobei z. B. das Hochdruckwasser der vorgeschalteten Aufschäumeinrichtung eingesetzt werden kann, gereinigt und unmittelbar darauf verschlossen wird. With the design of the closure, the bottle is initially sealed, which then in particular in the critical estuary through fixed or concurrent high-pressure spray devices, z. B. the high pressure water the upstream frothing device can be used, cleaned and is closed immediately afterwards.
