Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap, which cooperates with a bottle neck having a bottle neck, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connectable to the bottleneck of a bottle container cap is first by the DE 198 24 714 A1 known.
  • the Untergreifvorsprung is there formed as a ring.
  • the underride projection, ie ring can be practically bounce like a neck sling acting.
  • the cap can be unscrewed and screwed back.
  • an insert part is assigned. About this can be minimized from home relatively large trained discharge opening so that you can deploy a powerful spray jet instead of a jet stream, just to form a spout on the insert.
  • a cooperating with a bottle container cap is known, wherein at the bottleneck of the bottle container a latching projection and on the cap a Untergreifvorsprung is formed, further the cap is associated with an insert and the insert is fastened on the bottle neck.
  • the maybeblellbar on the insert cap can be unscrewed from the insert.
  • the bottleneck can be provided with projections and the insert in the associated area with recesses.
  • GB 2172 273 A cooperating with a bottle cap closure cap, wherein the closure cap is associated with an insert part and the closure cap is applied by deformation, without the use of a given thread forming, on the insert part.
  • the cap can be unscrewed from the insert.
  • the edge of the bottle may have projections which serve to prevent rotational movement of the insert on the edge of the bottle.
  • the invention provides the task of specifying a bottle container with cooperating cap and insert, which are both rational to install as well as child-resistant.
  • a lower gripping projection may be formed for cooperation with the latching projection on the bottle container. That is in principle Here too, it is based on the fact that the lower gripping projection of the insert part is formed on a circumferentially encircling ring, which has sufficient in the circumferential direction to overflow the locking projection sufficient, usable under elastic recovery length supply. All this can be achieved with a maximum thinness of the ring. The latter means saving of material.
  • the larger structural extension lies in the direction of insertion. It suffices a long rectangular cross section of such a ring to overcome the formed on a discharge opening having a bottle neck locking projection safely.
  • the latching projection is formed on a bottle neck having a neck opening and that the latching arm extends substantially parallel to a longitudinal center axis of the discharge opening. This allows the transmission of sufficient bounce forces without damage.
  • a particularly stable locking arm is present if this participates in the ring shape.
  • An advantageous solution is achieved when two substantially mutually opposite latching arms are formed. The length stock is easily reached due to a wave formation of the ring. It is sufficient if only part of the ring is undulating in the circumferential direction.
  • the deviating from a normal circular ring contour zone of the length supply can also be realized so that the length supply is formed by a rebound in the region of the connection to the latching arm of the ring. This applies accordingly for both locking arms, on both sides.
  • the ring extends substantially perpendicular to the latching arms.
  • the invention proposes that the latching projection is formed on the bottle neck with in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the bottle opening extending plane.
  • the insert part has a central collar for engagement in the neck opening of the bottle container, and wherein the collar has an insertion bevel, for cooperation with an inner edge of the neck opening.
  • Rotationally symmetrical insertion bevel brings a effective pre-centering with respect to the inner edge, the mouth of the bottle so.
  • a relatively small outer edge-side taper of the free end of the collar is sufficient. So it is practically sufficient if the insertion extends at least to the extent of a wall thickness of the collar inwards.
  • the lead-in has a multiple measure of the wall thickness of the collar. That can go up to five times. It is advantageous if the insertion bevel is formed from a plurality of separate insertion tongues.
  • the bottleneck ie its inner edge, can be additionally chamfered.
  • this means is formed on the bottle neck side in the form of formations.
  • such formations consist of vertically oriented ribs. These ribs are tongue-shaped with a tongue opening associated tongue opening. The latter forms in the manner of a "flow divider" a Einlenkelladdling for the use-part-side antidote of the rotationally secured holder.
  • Said ribs can be formed simply by recesses of the inner wall of the bottle container.
  • the invention proposes that the means for the rotationally secured mounting of the insert part are formed by passing into the recesses between the ribs blocking strips of the insert part. They can be molded right away. It is not necessary, the blocking bars in the number of formations provided.
  • the solution according to the invention is characterized in that the insert part, assigned to a lower gripping projection of the closure cap, forms a latching projection. In order to ensure their solvency with simple means here despite the good bondage of the cap, is further proceeded so that the locking projection of the insert part and the lower gripping projection of the cap in a lateral projection with a horizontal include an acute angle.
  • the latching projection can be converted into the function of a thread with a corresponding course of the closure cap-side lower gripping projection, one or more times.
  • the ring extending at an acute angle consists of two substantially opposite sections covering a same height range.
  • the basis for the above-indicated modulation is when the cap is to be assigned to the bottle container reversible. Accordingly, the latching projection is then formed on the insert part as a mating thread.
  • the insert can also be attached directly to the bottle neck, ie be formed.
  • an embodiment is chosen such that the counter-projection is designed as a mirror-image designed, in cross-section with each other directed to each other, extending in the radial direction strips, which at their leave free ends between them one of the Rastausformung corresponding opening. In the snaps the Rastausformung.
  • the preferred solution is such that the strips can be lifted away from the latch formation by pressing in portions of the jacket wall of the closure cap in positions offset by 90 °.
  • the jacket wall deforms, for example, from a circular shape in an oval shape with a corresponding radial deflection of the counter-projections.
  • the invention consists in the formation of a child safety cap for a bottle container, which solution is characterized by counter-projections forming, mirror-image oriented strips which are directed towards each other in cross-section such that their free ends leave an opening therebetween for receiving a Rastausformung of Bottle container or insert. It is structurally so that the one bar by the Rastausformung, again resetting, is overflowable and forms the other bar a Drehsperranschlag for the cap.
  • the insert part or the bottleneck in a region above the latching projection has a latching projection which cooperates with a recess on the closure cap.
  • Structurally advantageous is when the recess in a separate and radially to the cap wall of the cap formed inside this arranged fuse wall. So parental control and turnstile can be designed to be different in location, this with respective increase in effectiveness. While retaining the outline of the rings, the securing wall also has an oval floor plan. There is a similar course.
  • the recess is formed as a vertical slot, wherein the slot forming Wandend Schemee are reinforced by molded, perpendicular thereto extending strips. So you can work extremely thin-walled with respect to the security wall. Nevertheless, the desired mechanical strength of the recess is present.
  • the above-mentioned separate formation of the securing wall does not mean a multi-part; Accordingly, it continues to proceed so that the cooperating with the locking projection ring is connected to the securing wall.
  • the tethered ring is band-shaped with an oval floor plan adapted to the security wall.
  • the invention proposes that the securing wall with respect to the connected ring is arranged offset radially inward.
  • the offset can be realized by the extent of a wall thickness.
  • the resulting polydirectionality has a strengthening effect, which proves to be particularly useful for the operation.
  • the securing wall is in fact connected to the cap wall moved by the solution pressure, where the sections for pressing in the cap wall of the cap are also located.
  • This Rastausformung is provided in pairs.
  • An embodiment of even independent meaning is characterized realized that on the insert part or the bottleneck a cooperating with a stop edge of Rastausformung counter-projection is formed.
  • This Rastausformung is hook-shaped in plan, forming a catcher corner for the opposite counter-projection.
  • Parental control and turnstile are so separated from each other arranged devices.
  • the cap wall in the solution pressure direction of its actuation section is preceded by an insurmountable annular step radially inward and the corresponding end cap edge has a bead cooperating with the annular step.
  • This facility can be set to a specific threshold. By normal, sensing keys, the release is therefore not possible.
  • the illustrated closure V of a dispenser or container comprises a closure cap 1, an insert part 2 and a bottle neck 3 of a bottle container 4.
  • the bottle container 4 it may be a preform bottle container.
  • the cap 1 is the insert part 2 assignable by bouncing. It can also be assigned by screwing and accordingly unscrew again.
  • the insert 2 stands with the bottle neck 3 in irreversible locking catch.
  • the bottle container 4 or its bottleneck 3 has a latching projection 5 on the jacket wall side.
  • The is designed as a continuous circumferential (or interrupted, albeit here solvability strives) annular bead.
  • the upper edge of the locking projection 5 falls outwards and in the direction of the bottle container 4 obliquely.
  • the lower edge of the locking projection is steep, d. H. it extends substantially horizontally, that is perpendicular to a vertically aligned longitudinal central axis x-x of the bottle neck 3.
  • the insert part-side locking means is a lower gripping projection 6.
  • The is formed as a ring R1.
  • the Untergreif projection 6 slides in the applied here also bouncing over the described oblique edge of the locking projection 5 and finally enters anchoring under the steep flank, where he firmly locked.
  • the ring R1 is supported by two vertically suspended latching arms 7. These are based on a substantially horizontally extending ceiling 8 of the insert part 2, which is substantially pot-shaped in its base region. The front edge 9 of the cup-shaped insert sits snugly on a peripheral shoulder 10 of the bottle container 4 plug-limiting.
  • ring R1 is realized as a closed, virtually pipe section-like axial band contour.
  • the strip has a substantially rectangular cross-section or is sharpened in the area of its narrow side forming the lower gripping projection 6 in the manner of a blade, with an outwardly sloping chamfer facing away from the ceiling. The latter favors anchoring.

  • the ring R1 In the basic position, the ring R1 has an inner diameter d which essentially corresponds to the outer diameter D of the bottle neck 3 in the latching region of the ring R1. Moreover, the ring R1 has portions larger than its inner diameter d. These sections create a length stock L. The latter is dimensioned so that the ring R1 can be expanded against its own restoring force. This condition occurs when the ring R1 overcome the larger outer diameter D than d having locking projection 5 must, as I said, occur by means of bouncing.
  • the length stock L is achieved at the ring R1, for example, due to a wave formation of the ring R1.
