  • the lock / container combination problem-free according to known plastic molding techniques economically can be manufactured and improved handling in automatic Allow mounting of caps on containers.
  • the cap circumference wall is therefore not to be feared. It may also be sufficient if the peripheral wall area is only partially separated from the peripheral wall of the cap, so that it can be bent out of the plane of the cap circumference wall, and in the The remainder remains in contact with her, so that impairment by severed surrounding peripheral wall areas can be avoided.
  • the invention allows the production of the cap part and container part of the Combination in an economical manner by injection molding using suitable Plastics, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc., where the demolding of the Cap parts unlike those with tamper evident rings no problems prepares.
  • a Tamper evident between the cap part and a lid part be provided for the repeated closure of a pouring opening on Cap part can be hinged thereto.
  • a preferred embodiment of a such further tamper-evident is the subject of claim 8 and basically known, cf. e.g. EP-A-0 201 138.
  • the closure cap portion of the closure / container combination carries the general reference numeral 1 and a container part the reference numeral 2.
  • the container part 2 is present a separate plastic molding for attachment to a container (Not shown).
  • the container part 1 can also be an integral part of Be container by a neck portion of the container corresponding to the container part 2 is trained.
  • the separate training of the container part 2 allows its Combination with containers made of any materials, such as glass, plastic, metal, wherein suitable known connection techniques for permanent connection of the Container part 2 can come with a separate container for use.
  • the container part 2 has a substantially tubular configuration with a Passage passage defining an access opening 3 through which access to the Inside a container is possible.
  • a Screw thread 4 provided with a complementary screw thread (not shown) on the inside of a peripheral wall 5 of the closure cap part first can cooperate, so that the closure cap part 1 on the container part. 2 can be screwed, in the course of this process, the access opening. 3 is closed.
  • the Councilgreifnocken 6 From the outer circumference of the container part 2 is radially a Stromgreifnocken 6 at one Point from that on the axial and circumferential position of a recess 8 in the Circumferential wall 5 of the closure cap part 1 is tuned, so that the Stromgreifnocken 6 completely screwed onto the container part 2 Snap cap part 1 snapping into the recess 8 and engage therein can be taken as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the Hintergreifnocken 6 has a radially aligned stop surface 7, which, when the Hintergreifnocken 6 in the recess 8 is located, with a stop edge 14 at one Can engage circumferential wall portion 9, which is within the peripheral wall 5 of Cap part 1 is recessed to a rotation of the cap part 1 in Abschraubraum to prevent.
  • the stop edge 14 simultaneously forms a Leading boundary edge of the recess 8 when viewed in Screwing the cap part 1 and is part of a leading enlarged portion 10 of the peripheral wall portion 9.
  • the leading portion 10, when viewed in the plane of the peripheral wall 5, has a substantially triangular configuration with one below the other Screw-on opening angle to the free edge 13 of the peripheral wall. 5 extending bevel.
  • the peripheral wall portion 9 further includes a trailing portion 11 which is the Recess 8 bounded on the underside.
  • the sections 10, 11 of the peripheral wall area 9 have a common bottom edge 13 ', which is a continuation of the peripheral edge 13 of Circumferential wall 5 represents.
  • the tear-off webs 12 form predetermined breaking points, in that they are designed such that that they tear under a certain force acting in the circumferential direction, whereby the leading portion 10 of the peripheral wall portion 9 its connection with the peripheral wall 5 loses and the blocking effect of the intervention lost between the Deutschengreifvorsprung 6 and the stop edge 14.
  • the function of Originaltös rejoin is such a complete separation of the Peripheral wall area 9 not compulsory.
  • the lagging Section 11 in the form of a beam-like approach to the leading section 10th be educated.
  • the Hintergreifnocken 6 has a radial cross-section, extending from the stop surface 7 tapers conically in the circumferential direction, so that a ramp-like ramp surface is formed, which allows the peripheral wall 5 of the cap 1 and in particular the peripheral wall portion 9 when screwing the Cap part 1 on the container part 2 along the Hintergreifvorsprunges. 6 can be moved without in this process a tearing of the webs 12, 12 ' takes place.
  • the integrated in the peripheral wall 5 of the closure cap part 1 Circumferential wall area 9 represents a first or main originality assurance, which corresponds to the User gives an indication that no manipulation of the Cap part 1 were made as long as the connection between the Circumferential wall portion 9 and the peripheral wall 5 is intact.
  • the closure cap part 1 can also be provided with a cover part 17 Be provided to a pouring opening 16 in a the access opening. 3 to close spanning cap end wall 15.
  • the cover part 17 can, As indicated at 18, via a film hinge on the closure cap part 1 in a known Be articulated way.
