Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screw cap Plastic and a container made of plastic or Soft material with a spout according to the preamble of the claim as well as a procedure for its assembly.
  • Screw caps of the type mentioned are for many Known years ago. Your design is not least of that depending on which material the container is made of, on which the closure is placed. For glass bottles is the spout is usually standardized and accordingly the Turnbuckles comply with the standard. For containers Plastic, the spout can be varied much more freely. Also used in containers made of so-called soft material one attached to it plastic sinks, in turn be made with great creative freedom can.
  • the invention relates to screw caps, with Containers made of plastic or soft material, whose spout is made of plastic and where Screw cap and spout are matched.
  • Guarantee tape which alone by turning the screw cap can be opened, at the same time the guarantee strip is separated from the screw cap.
  • Such closures go, for example, from DE-A-31 11 692, EP-B-0'149'496, EP-B-0'460'557, EP-B-0'593'396 or EP-B-0'625'950.
  • the production such screw caps is problematic. In the preparation of The core must be torn out of the screw cap. While the rear attacks in the area of the thread are unproblematic, the Schugriffe in the area of Ruptured bridges is a big problem dar. This relatively Fragile spots are relatively common during the Production destroyed. This leads to production interruptions and to scrap of manufactured closures.
  • The. Screw cap 1 can be designed conventionally conventional be. It thus consists of a circumferential cylindrical Shell wall 7, the top of a top surface 50 completed is. On the underside of the top surface 50 may be a annular sealing bead 51 may be provided.
  • the jacket wall 7 is provided with an internal thread, which here preferably designed as a fine thread 17. This Fine thread 17 only needs in the lower part of the Jacket wall 7 to be provided.
  • a guarantee strip. 5 formed at the bottom of the Mantle wall 7 is via predetermined breaking webs 6 a guarantee strip. 5 formed.
  • the guarantee strip 5 is, as in the embodiments according to Figures 1, 2 and 4-6 conically downwards designed widening. Such a design is on the one hand aesthetically satisfactory and also has the Advantage of a particularly simple demolding.
  • Guarantee bands that are aligned directly under the shell wall the screw cap are arranged is in a guarantee strip the form shown here no rear grip available. Accordingly, the core of the injection molding tool be pulled out without losing the guarantee band or in particular the break-off webs, which the connection between the casing wall 7 and the guarantee strip 5, to charge.
  • the spout is always as drawn separate part. This is by no means mandatory.
  • the spout can of course be integral with be made of a plastic container.
  • This one illustrated shape of the spout 2 consists of an annular wall 9, at the lower end of a flange 8 is formed.
  • This Flange 8 is here perpendicular to the annular wall 9 extending arranged.
  • the flange 8 would be practically the container themselves, and the spout 2 would correspond one Forming a bottleneck.
  • a External thread 10 formed, which also preferably as Fine thread is designed. The thread 10 also extends not over the entire length of the ring wall 9.
  • This Positive locking means 11 has the shape of in FIG radially outward projecting cam 12. How to look out Figure 4 recognizes, are over the circumference here, for example arranged four cams 12 evenly distributed. This means that according to the guarantee band is about the same has large openings 15. In this design form pass through the cams 12 Breakthroughs 15. In this design form overlap the mentioned cam 12 a the same engaging part 19 of the guarantee strip 5, as For example, in the figure 2 and in Figure 6 clearly recognizable. This has the advantage that even after a Separation of warranty strip 5 and screw cap 1 the Guarantee tape on the spout 2 is maintained. Indeed requires the production of such a spout still slider, because the manufacturing form or the injection mold the Cam 12 engages behind.
  • That can Form-fitting means 11 also be designed rib-shaped, such this is shown in FIG.
  • These ribs 16 preferably extend on the one hand radially outward directed and on the other hand parallel to the center axis of the Spout 2. Also these ribs 16, the corresponding are much narrower than those previously described and shown cam 12, are in the closed state of Closure in positive connection with the Warranty tape 5 of the screw cap 1.
  • the positive locking means 11 on the spout 2 is in both Designs designed so that the lower edge of the Screw cap 1 in the mounted state directly on the cam 12th or gets up on the ribs 16. This requires that the apertures 15 with their upper edge in the Parting plane T between the guarantee strip 5 and the lower edge of Shell wall 7 run. This situation is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 clearly visible. This embodiment is used directly as a stop during assembly. This will be later received.
  • the Positive locking means 11 or 12, 16 only to some arranged in a few places around the circumference. This requires during assembly in a first step, in turn, an axial Alignment with each other and then a relative Angular positioning of the two parts to each other before in turn by a simple translational movement in Axial direction, the two parts are pressed on each other. Because but again fine threads are provided, the Assembly can be simplified by the screw cap 1 on the Spout 2 is put on and then twisted until practically a not shown here stop element the indicates the correct angular position of the two parts to one another, followed by an axial translation reaches the final position becomes.
