Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure cap according to the preamble of protection claim 1.
- Such a closure cap is known from DE 43 38 004 C2.
- the originality circlip is formed by a deformation zone in the area of the shaft, which is delimited at the top by a series of horizontal slots with webs in between and at the bottom by an outwardly projecting bead.
- vertical material weakenings are provided in the area of the deformation zone.
- the closure can be manipulated with simple means when reclosing, for example with a round object, such as a nail, after unscrewing the closure cap in the area of the originality circlip, the original curling by pressing this object again can be generated. The consumer can then no longer clearly identify whether the first opening has already taken place. An exchange, a mixture or in the worst case even a poisoning of the bottle contents opens the door.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a closure cap which enables a one-piece screwing in connection with a tight reclosure and a clear originality assurance.
- the tamper-evident element is formed by at least one material weakening in the region of the deformation zone, which, starting from a lower, non-weakened baseline, forms a closed contour pointing upwards.
- the material area enclosed by this contour becomes the first time the
- the cap from the bottle mouthpiece when the deformation zone is expanded is partially separated from it and folded inwards, so that irreparable imperfections occur in the material, which clearly indicate to the user whether the bottle is originally closed or whether it was already open. Because the areas within the
- the invention can be used particularly advantageously on a closure cap in which a further shaft region adjoins the deformation zone at the bottom.
- Such caps are known to the experts under the terms Stelcap or Longcap.
- the deformation zone is preferably delimited by an upper bead and a lower bead. Such beads ensure a clear delimitation of the deformation zone and give the closure more stability in the shaft area.
- contour of the material weakening extends in the lower region of the deformation zone.
- the uppermost point of the contour of the material weakening is located approximately in the middle of the deformation zone, preferably somewhat below the center of the deformation zone. This measure ensures that the material in the region of the contour of the deformation zone at the first opening clearly moves inward into the inner region of the closure cap, so that no projections are formed to the outside that could pose a risk of injury to the user's fingers.
- a plurality of further substantially vertically extending material weakenings are preferably provided in the deformation zone distributed around the circumference, as are known per se from the prior art cited at the beginning. These material weaknesses facilitate the expansion of the deformation zone when the bottle is first opened.
- a plurality of material weakenings serving as original securing elements are preferably arranged distributed around the circumference. In this way, regardless of the viewing direction of the cap, it can be clearly determined whether the bottle is still originally sealed or whether it was already open.
- the shaft preferably does not have any horizontally running slots with webs in between. This clearly ensures that the upper part of the cap does not separate from the lower part, which means that the lower part is removed from the bottle and thus the separate recycling of metal and glass would complicate.
- the cap according to the invention can be completely unscrewed from the bottle without the aid of tools by widening the deformation zone when it is opened for the first time. It can be screwed tightly onto the bottle several times for reclosing and can finally be completely removed from the bottle during recycling. The waste glass melt is thus kept free from unnecessarily high aluminum content.
- the one-piece removability of the closure also enables it to be used with bottles of the reusable system.
- the closure cap has at least one knurl in the area of the side edge of the cover and / or below the roll area.
- a knurl increases the grip in a manner known per se, two knurls spaced apart being particularly preferred.
- the weakening of the material used for the tamper-evident element preferably has a contour in the form of a regular geometrical figure, starting from the un weakened base, which preferably directly reaches the lower bead, such as that of a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a semicircle, a half -Ellipse or the like.
- a regular geometrical figure can be produced in a simple manner on a corresponding roller burnishing tool.
- a specific contour or a specific sequence of several alternating contours can also serve as coding for the bottle contents. Similar to a barcode, properties, filling time, shelf life, filling location or the like can be stored in coded form on the cap as information.
- a closure cap according to the invention is preferably used for closing a wine bottle. After this already with wine bottles of the lower price segment with short caps is customary, a cap according to the invention is also outstandingly suitable due to its excellent sealing and handling properties for closing wine bottles of the middle or upper price segment.
- the outer surfaces of the shaft can be printed as advertising space.
- closure cap serves to close a bottle containing spirits.
- sealing cap is also not to be understood in the narrower sense as a purely metallic sealing cap, even if this is preferably made from aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- sheets, plastics or films made of composite materials could also be used to produce a sealing cap, the Material enables plastic deformation and ensures that the tamper-evident elements are broken or flipped out when they are opened for the first time.
- FIG. 2 a somewhat enlarged partial area with the deformation zone and several variants of a contour of a material weakening as a tamper-evident element
- FIG. 3 a partial cross section according to line III. - III. to illustrate the depth of the material weakening.
- a cap 1 is composed of a lid 2 and a total
- a raw sheet made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy with a thickness d ⁇ of approximately 0.21 mm to 0.24 mm. Such boards are initially printed and / or varnished and - if necessary - cut into strips.
- the raw caps are produced by punching circular cutouts with subsequent deep drawing, onto which beads, knurls, material weaknesses or the like are then formed by rolling.
- a lid 3 which delimits the lid 2 at the bottom and projects inwards, is preferably used for fastening a sealing element, not shown, which on the inside of the lid 2 either as an inserted sealing washer, as a valve insert or as a plastic foam (PVC compound or PVC-free sealing compound) is trained.
- the sealing elements can have sealing lips, ribs or the like on the side facing the bottle mouth.
- a beading area 4 adjoins the bead 3 at the bottom, in which the thread (on the bottle or the manufacturer or filler) is later rolled onto the bottle after the cap has been placed on it.
- a first upper knurl 5 is provided in the area of the cover 2 on the outer edge. This is preferably supplemented by a second lower knurl 6, which adjoins the rolling area 4 for the thread at the bottom.
- an outwardly projecting bead 7 is formed, which delimits a flaring zone 8.
- the flaring zone 8 is delimited at the bottom by a further bead 9 projecting outwards.
- the area of the crimping zone 8 lying between the beads 7 and 9 is designed as a deformation zone 10, which is deformed and rolled on by the user by means of a rolling tool under the crimping tape on the bottle neck adjoining the thread.
- vertical material weakenings 14 are provided, of which several are preferably distributed evenly over the circumference are and secondly at least one material weakening 11, which is used as a tamper-evident element.
- a plurality of material weakenings 11 serving as tamper-evident elements are likewise preferably distributed around the circumference of the deformation zone 10 and offset from the vertical material weakenings 14.
- the material weaknesses 14 serve to facilitate the formation of beads in this area when rolling on and also to facilitate the expansion of the deformation zone 10 when the bottle is opened for the first time.
- the described material weaknesses 11 tear open at their respective contours, the tamper-evident element loosens up to the closed lower base line 15 from the deformation zone 10 and is opened by the mouthpiece of the bottle via the base line 15 when the cap 1 is unscrewed the inside of the shaft folded down. This results in windows corresponding to the contours of these material weakenings 11 in the closure cap 1.
- the material weakenings 11 used as tamper-evident elements extend from their lower, closed, un weakened base line 15, which adjoins the lower bead 9 over a maximum of the lower half of the
- Contour 117 As shown in FIG. 3, these contours are notches in the material of the closure cap 1 is molded in such a way that a thickness d 2 of approximately 0.10 mm or less is retained from the original thickness d. of approximately 0.21 mm to 0.24 mm.
- the arrangement in the lower region of the deformation zone 10 ensures that when the closure is unscrewed from the mouthpiece of the bottle, the material regions surrounded by the contours 111 to 117 fold inwards, so that no metal parts projecting outwards pose a risk of injury.
- the material weakenings 11 produce broken windows in the deformation area 10 when they are opened for the first time, which cannot be closed again and thus clearly and irreversibly signal an opening of the bottle.
- a lower shaft area 13 preferably adjoins the lower bead 9, which is used in printed form in particular when closing wine bottles or liquor bottles.
- a side printing machine is preferably used for printing on this area.
- the closure cap according to the invention is also suitable for closing bottles with high-quality drinks due to its excellent handling properties when opening and reclosing for the first time and because of its tamper-evident tamper-evident element. Both spirits and wines of the middle and upper price segment are available for this.
- a metallic closure cap has clear advantages over a cork in terms of reliable sealing and equally tight reclosing, whereby lying down is also possible after reclosure due to the excellent sealing properties. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
