Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kunststoffverschluß gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a plastic closure according to the preamble of Claim 1.
Bekannt sind Kunststoffverschlüsse für die unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen, z.B. für die Verpackung von Lebensmitteln oder von Chemikalien. Alle Kunststoffverschlüsse bestehen mindestens aus einem Teil mit Deckelfunktion und einem Basisteil, das mit dem Behältnis verbunden ist und im verschlossenen Zustand mit dem Deckelteil in formschlüssigem Eingriff steht. Je nach dem, ob der Deckel geschraubt oder geklappt wird, ist der Kunststofiverschluß ein- oder mehrteilig ausgeführt.Plastic closures are known for a wide variety of applications, e.g. for packaging food or chemicals. All Plastic closures consist of at least one part with a lid function and a base part which is connected to the container and in closed state with the cover part is in positive engagement. Depending on whether the lid is screwed or folded, the Plastic closure made of one or more parts.
Im wesentlichen gibt es Verschlüsse mit runder Grundform und Verschlüsse mit rechteckiger Grundform. Die Verschlüsse mit runder Grundform finden sich als Dreh- oder Klappverschluß vor allem an Flaschen oder kanisterartigen Behältern oder als Drehverschluß auch an den bekannten quaderförmigen Behältnissen für Milch, Säfte etc.. Verschlüsse mit runder Grundform, insbesondere als Drehverschluß, weisen immer eine nicht unerhebliche Höhe auf und sind daher z.B. für die erwähnten quaderförmigen Behältnisse ungeeignet, da dadurch deren Stapelfähigkeit gemindert wird.There are essentially closures with a round basic shape and closures with a rectangular basic shape. Find the closures with a round basic shape itself as a twist or flip closure, especially on bottles or canisters Containers or as a twist lock also on the known cuboid Containers for milk, juices etc. .. closures with a round basic shape, especially as a twist lock, always have a not insignificant height and are therefore e.g. for the square-shaped containers mentioned unsuitable as this reduces their stackability.
Insbesondere für quaderförmige Behältnisse werden daher normalerweise Verschlüsse mit rechteckiger Grundfläche verwendet. Diese sind im allgemeinen als Klapp- oder Einrastverschluß ausgebildet und können auf diese Weise sehr flach gehalten werden, so daß die quaderförmigen Behältnisse weiterhin praktisch uneingeschränkt stapelbar sind.Especially for cuboid containers are therefore normally Closures with a rectangular base are used. These are in generally designed as a snap or snap lock and can be on this Way to be kept very flat, so that the cuboid containers continue to be stackable practically without restriction.
Ein zusätzlicher Bestandteil eines Kunststoffverschlusses, der vor allem für die Verpackung von Lebensmitteln von Bedeutung ist, ist das sogenannte Garantiesiegel, das beim allerersten Öffnen des Verschlusses gebrochen wird und somit dem Verbraucher als Zeichen dafür dient, ob der Verschluß schon einmal geöffnet worden ist.An additional component of a plastic closure, which is especially for the Food packaging is important is the so-called Guarantee seal that is broken the first time the lock is opened and thus serves the consumer as a sign of whether the closure already has been opened once.
Diese Garantiesiegel können ganz unterschiedlich ausgeformt sein. Bei Drehverschlüssen findet sich oft ein Ring um das Basisteil, das bis zum ersten Aufdrehen mit dem Deckel verbunden ist. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, das Garantiesiegel in der zentralen Öffnung des Verschlusses anzuordnen und mit einer Handhabe zu versehen, so daß das Garantiesiegel vor dem ersten Gießen oder Schütten durch Herausziehen entfernt werden kann, um die Öffnung freizugeben.These guarantee seals can take many different forms. at Twist locks often find a ring around the base part that lasts until the first Unscrewing is connected to the lid. Another option is there inside, the guarantee seal in the central opening of the clasp to arrange and to provide a handle so that the guarantee seal be removed by pulling out before first pouring or pouring can to release the opening.
Allen diesen Kunststoffverschlüssen ist gemeinsam, daß sie gerade bei Flüssigkeiten ein bestenfalls mäßiges Gießverhalten aufweisen. Dieses ist auf die mangelnde Anpassung der Verschlußform an die Gieß- und Schüttfunktion zurückzuführen.All these plastic closures have in common that they are just at Liquids have a moderate pouring behavior at best. This is on the lack of adaptation of the closure shape to the pouring and pouring function due.
Aus der US-Patentschrift 5 101 999 ist ein Flachdeckel bekannt, der in Spritzgußtechnik einteilig ausgeführt wurde. Er umlaßt ein Basisteil mit zentraler Öffnung, die durch einen umlaufenden Steg markiert ist, einen klappbar befestigten Deckel und ein Garantiesiegel, das in der zentralen Öffnung angeordnet ist. Dieser Flachdeckel zeichnet sich durch mehrere Besonderheiten aus. Der umlaufende Steg ist an einem Ende zu einer Ausgußtülle geformt. Das Garantiesiegel ist derart ausgeführt, daß es heruntergedrückt werden kann und somit das Behältnis öffnet. Es ist am gleichen Ende des Basisteils wie der Deckel klappbar befestigt und am anderen Ende über einen dünnen Steg gesichert, der für das erste Öffnen durchbrochen werden muß. In der Verbindung zum Basisteil ist ein Belüftungsloch angebracht, das zusätzlich zur Ausgußtülle das Gießverhalten verbessern soll. Nachteilig wirkt sich aus, daß das Garantiesiegel nur schwer einzudrücken ist. Außerdem sind durch die komplexe Gestalt des Flachdeckels der Herstellungsaufwand und damit auch die Kosten unverhältnismäßig hoch.A flat lid is known from US Pat. No. 5,101,999, which in Injection molding technology was carried out in one piece. It surrounds a base part central opening, which is marked by a surrounding web, one hinged lid and a guarantee seal that is in the central Opening is arranged. This flat lid is characterized by several Special features. The surrounding web is one at one end Spout shaped. The guarantee seal is designed so that it can be pressed down and thus opens the container. It's on same end of the base part as the lid hinged and attached to the other Secured at the end via a thin bridge that breaks through for the first opening must become. There is a ventilation hole in the connection to the base part attached, which should improve the pouring behavior in addition to the pouring spout. The disadvantage is that the guarantee seal is difficult to impress. In addition, the complex shape of the flat lid means that Manufacturing effort and thus the costs are disproportionately high.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kunststoffverschluß zu finden, der trotz verbesserten Gießverhaltens möglichst einfach strukturiert ist, um zum Zwecke der Massenproduktion die Stückkosten minimal zu halten.The invention has for its object to a plastic closure find that is structured as simply as possible despite improved casting behavior, to keep unit costs to a minimum for mass production.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch einen Kunststoffverschluß mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Es ist bei einem gattungsgemäßen Kunststoffverschluß vorgesehen, daß das Garantiesiegel nach dem Aufklappen rückseitig als Ausgießhilfe ausgebildet ist.According to the invention the task is through a plastic closure with the Features of claim 1 solved. It is a generic Plastic closure provided that the guarantee seal after opening is designed on the back as a pouring aid.
In den Kunststoffverschluß ist also über das integrierte Garantiesiegel gleichermaßen eine AusgieBhilfe integriert. Das Garantiesiegel ist im Auslieferungszustand zunächst an Reißlinien mit dem Unterteil verbunden. Nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen des Verschlusses reißt das Kunststoffmaterial an diesen Reißlinien auf und die Schüttöffnung wird freigegeben. Bevorzugt ist das Garantiesiegel aber mit dem Unterteil über eine Verbindung, beispielsweise ein Filmscharnier derart verbunden, daß es durch eine Schwenkbewegung mit dem Filmscharnier zum Unterteil als Drehachse aus dem Unterteil herausgeklappt werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist die als Drehachse dienende Verbindung zwischen Garantiesiegel und Unterteil unlösbar im Gegensatz zu der oder den Verbindungen, die beim erstmaligen Öffnen des Verschlusses irreversibel gelöst werden. Diese Verbindung ist an der Seite des Unterteils angeordnet, zu der hin der Inhalt des Behältnisses ausgegossen oder ausgeschüttet werden soll. In the plastic closure is so on the integrated guarantee seal a pouring aid is also integrated. The guarantee seal is in Delivery state first connected to the lower part on tear lines. After opening the fastener for the first time, the plastic material tears these tear lines and the pour opening is released. Is preferred the guarantee seal but with the lower part via a connection, for example a film hinge connected so that it with a pivoting movement the film hinge to the lower part as an axis of rotation from the lower part can be folded out. The one serving as the axis of rotation is preferred The connection between the guarantee seal and the lower part is inseparable in contrast to the connection (s) that were used when the lock was first opened be irreversibly resolved. This connection is on the side of the lower part arranged, towards which the contents of the container are poured or to be distributed.
Die vor dem Aufklappen des Garantiesiegels dem Behältnis zugewandte Seite des Garantiesiegels ist als Ausgießhilfe ausgestaltet. Wird das Garantiesiegel weit genug aufgeklappt, wird der Inhalt des Behältnisses über diese rückwärtige, als Ausgießhilfe gestaltete Seite des Garantiesiegels aus dem Behältnis herausgeführt.The side facing the container before opening the guarantee seal The guarantee seal is designed as a pouring aid. Will the guarantee seal the contents of the container are opened over them enough rear side, designed as a pouring aid, of the guarantee seal from the Container brought out.
Oberteil und Unterteil des Kunststoffverschlusses können entweder über eine Anbindung miteinander-verbunden sein oder auch separate Komponenten-sein, die beispielsweise über eine Rastverbindung oder Schraubverbindung montiert werden.The upper and lower part of the plastic fastener can either have a Connection to be connected to each other or to be separate components, which is mounted, for example, via a snap connection or screw connection become.
Das Unterteil ist auf beliebige Art und Weise mit dem Behältnis verbindbar. Die Befestigungsmethode wird unter anderem vom Material des Behältnisses bestimmt. Exemplarisch seien genannt Metall- oder Kunststoffbehältnisse, an die man den Kunststoffverschluß schweißen könnte, oder auch Glas oder Kartonbehältnisse, mit denen der Kunststoffverschluß verklebt werden könnte. Grundsätzlich ist der erfindungsgemäße Kunststoffverschluß für Behältnisse jeglichen Materials geeignet.The lower part can be connected to the container in any way. The method of attachment is determined, among other things, by the material of the container certainly. Metal or plastic containers are mentioned as examples which you could weld the plastic closure, or glass or Cardboard containers with which the plastic closure could be glued. Basically, the plastic closure according to the invention for containers suitable for any material.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist an dem Garantiesiegel eine Handhabe angebracht, die das Greifen und somit das Aufklappen des Garantiesiegels erleichtert.In a preferred embodiment there is a on the guarantee seal Handle attached, which grips and thus opens the Guarantee seal relieved.
Vorzugsweise weist das Unterteil eine Aussparung auf, in die das Garantiesiegel nach dem Aufklappen hineinpaßt, so daß es zur Stabilisierung während des Ausgießens oder Ausschüttens arretiert wird.The lower part preferably has a recess into which the Guarantee seal fits after opening, so that it for stabilization is locked during pouring or pouring.
Zur weiteren Verbesserung des Gießverhaltens weist eine Ausführungsform eine seitliche Führung auf, die auf das aufgeklappte Garantiesiegel zuführt. Sie verhindert beim Ausgießen oder Ausschütten des Behältnisinhaltes ein seitliches Entweichen und gewährleistet somit eine gezielte Entnahme des Behältnisinhaltes.One embodiment has a further improvement in the casting behavior a side guide that leads to the opened guarantee seal. she prevents from pouring or pouring the contents of the container lateral escape and thus ensures targeted removal of the Container contents.
Vorzugsweise ist der Kunststoffverschluß als Flachverschluß ausgebildet, d.h., daß die Höhe des Verschlusses verglichen mit den Abmessungen der Grundfläche des Verschlusses gering ist. Dadurch wird insbesondere bei quaderförmigen Behältnissen eine gute Stapelbarkeit gewährleistet.The plastic closure is preferably designed as a flat closure, i.e. that the height of the closure compared to the dimensions of the Base of the closure is small. This will particularly help with cuboid containers ensure good stackability.
Prinzipiell kann der Kunststonverschluß eine beliebige Grundform aufweisen, sei es rund, sei es eckig, sei es oval. Als vorteilhaft hat sich erwiesen, eine dreieckige Grundform zu wählen, bei der die Verbindung zwischen Garantiesiegel und Unterteil, die beim Aufklappen des Garantiesiegels als Drehachse dient, an der Basis des Dreiecks angeordnet ist. Beim Ausgießen oder Ausschütten des Behältnisinhaltes tritt der Inhalt durch die relativ größere Fläche an der Dreieckbasis aus, während die relativ kleinere Fläche an der Dreieckspitze als Belüftungsöffnung wirkt, durch die Luft in den sich leerenden Behälter eindringen kann. Dies verbessert insbesondere bei Flüssigkeiten das Gießverhalten.In principle, the artificial sound lock can have any basic shape, be it round, be it square, be it oval. It has proven advantageous to have one triangular basic shape to choose, in which the connection between Guarantee seal and lower part, which when opening the guarantee seal as Serves axis of rotation, is arranged at the base of the triangle. When pouring or pouring out the contents of the container occurs through the relatively larger Area at the triangle base, while the relatively smaller area at the Triangle tip acts as a ventilation opening through which air enters empty container can penetrate. This improves especially at Liquids the pouring behavior.
