Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cap-like screw cap for containers, in particular for beverage bottles, for screwing onto a container mouthpiece with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a container equipped with such a screw cap itself.
  • containers in a wide variety of areas must be provided with tamper-evident devices in order to reliably rule out tampering with the contents of the container.
  • Pharmaceutical containers or beverage bottles are to be mentioned as examples.
  • the tamper-evident device conventionally consists of a so-called tamper-evident ring, which is connected to the lower edge of the grip collar of the closure cap via tear-off webs.
  • the quality assurance ring is pressed over an annular bead on the bottle neck.
  • the cap is screwed on for the first time, the webs are separated because the quality assurance ring is held back by the ring bead.
  • a closure cap is known for example from EP 0 290 720 A1.
  • the quality assurance rings have various disadvantages, such as the sensitivity of the webs when screwing on mechanically and the fact that the quality assurance ring often sticks to the closure cap with one or a few webs and is then a hindrance when the closure cap is screwed on again.
  • EP 1 174 358 A2 proposes to equip a closure cap with a different type of tamper-evident device.
  • the central part of the cap of the cap is designed so that when the cap is first mechanically screwed on, it lies coplanar with the edge of the cap, whereas when the cap is unscrewed and screwed on again, the central cap part is pressed upwards by a corresponding resistance on the bottle neck and raised above it The edge of the cover part protrudes. This ensures tamper-evidentness due to a shape deviation in the sealing cap.
  • US Pat. No. 4,801,028 A proposes a cap-like screw cap for containers which has an outer cap and an inner cap rotatably mounted therein.
  • a locking mechanism is coupled between these two components, so that when the outer cap rotates, the inner cap can be taken along and the closure can be unscrewed.
  • Due to the axial movement of the two cap parts a viewing window in the cover part of the outer cap is pierced by a corresponding stub protrusion on the inner cap, so that the stub ledge of a different color protrudes through the viewing window and is thus recognizable from the outside.
  • twist lock is the lack of protection against counterfeiting, since after the container has been opened for the first time, the outer and inner caps can be brought back to one another in the original axial position, in which the stub projection is retracted inwards. Then the opened window pane can be returned to the starting position be pushed back, so that an already opened screw cap can only be recognized with very precise control. Furthermore, due to the necessary axial displacement, the twist lock is more child-proof and therefore less user-friendly for non-safety-critical applications, such as soft drink beverage bottles.
  • US Pat. No. 5,884,788 A discloses a cap-like twist lock with an outer cap and an inner disk, in which the outer cap has tamper-evident locking disks that can be removed in the cover part. The detachment takes place via locking tabs formed on the inside of the locking washers, which cooperate with corresponding locking teeth on the inner washer.
  • the twist lock is opened for the first time, the locking lugs are torn out by a relative rotation between the outer cap and the inner pane and pulled away inwards. This makes the possibly different colored inner pane visible.
  • the constructions shown in this publication, in particular with regard to the latching lugs and the design of the inner pane are extremely complex in terms of shape and problematic in their reliability due to their filigree nature.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a cap-like screw cap for containers in such a way that a good visual recognition of the tamper-evident device is combined with a high degree of reliability and easy actuation of the screw cap.
  • a releasable blocking device is provided on the inner cap which, when the twist lock is first opened, rotationally blocks the inner cap over a certain angle of rotation of the outer cap. This will cause the outer cap to turn further a relative rotation from the outer to the inner cap caused by a marking indicating the first opening of the twist lock can be brought into its visible position in the viewing window. After this relative rotation from the outer to the inner cap when first opened, a locking device ensures that these two components are locked in relation to one another, so that it remains permanently recognizable that the closure has already been opened at least once.
  • the invention clearly has the advantage of a high level of reliability, good visibility of the tamper-evident by visual perception through the viewing window and simple operation.
  • the screw cap can be actuated like any threaded cap on a conventional beverage container, so that the consumer does not have to get used to it.
  • the releasable blocking device on the inner cap.
  • the implementation of the blocking device by means of a latching tab that works in the manner of a pawl and over-dead center kinematics ensures that the original closing process and initial opening function properly. Further details can be found in the corresponding description of the exemplary embodiment.
  • the releasable blocking device can also be formed by the static friction moment of the inner cap with the original closing process in relation to the container mouthpiece. This functional design of the blocking device eliminates its physical configuration, so that the twist lock is easier to manufacture in terms of shape.
  • FIG. 4 Further preferred embodiments according to claims 4 to 6 relate to the driver device and locking device, which are formed together by corresponding locking projections and rotary stops on the inner cap.
  • the construction of the twist lock according to the invention becomes particularly simple when the edges of the viewing window itself in the outer cap act as complementary locking recesses or counter stops. If, according to a preferred embodiment, at least two or more locking projections are provided between two viewing window positions for improved locking between the inner and outer cap, corresponding locking recesses between the viewing windows act as counter elements.
  • Claim 7 indicates a particularly simple implementation of the visually perceptible marking, which is based only on the different color design of the materials for the outer or inner cap.
  • the color change during the relative rotation between the outer and inner cap is not caused by the different areas of the inner cap entering the viewing window of the outer cap, but by separating the bottom of the viewing window of the outer cap, which is made of outer cap material, and placing this bottom under the outer cap, the bottom is permanently stored in a pocket on the inner cap.
  • the separated part serving as tamper-evident is removed cleanly without falling onto the floor, for example, as waste or being able to be reset to its original tamper-evident position.
  • the separable separators provided according to claim 8 between the bottom and the remaining outer cap can transmit a torque between the outer and inner cap, they can simultaneously serve as a driver device act for the original closing process and the beginning of the first opening process of the twist lock. So you have a multiple function.
  • the measure provided in claim 9 considerably improves the visual perceptibility of the tamper-evident device. In particular, it can be seen from a distance from a beverage crate which bottles have not yet opened in the crate.
  • claim 10 relates to the combination of a container and in particular a beverage container with a cap-like screw cap according to the invention.
  • the latching tab on the inner cap can use one of the ventilation grooves in the thread webs of the bottle's external thread, in particular in the case of polymer beverage bottles (PET bottles), as a latching recess.
  • PET bottles polymer beverage bottles
  • the screw cap according to the invention can be used with conventional polymer beverage bottles without structural adaptation to the screw cap.
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 The first embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 9 is explained in more detail below.
  • a cap-like screw cap V for screwing onto the mouthpiece of a beverage bottle consists of an outer cap 1 and an inner cap 2 rotatably mounted therein.
  • the outer cap 1 is of an approximately circular outer lid 3 and a integrally molded cylindrical handle collar 4 is formed thereon.
  • the inner cap 2 is composed equally of an approximately circular inner cover 5 and an internally threaded collar 6.
  • a circumferential sealing shoulder 7 is also formed on the inner cover 5 and engages in the pouring opening of the container mouthpiece.
  • viewing windows 8 are arranged equidistantly in a circular row along the periphery, which are shaped like a sector in a plan view. These viewing windows are not continuously open in the original state (FIGS. 1 and 7A), but are closed by a bottom 9 which is recessed relative to the outer cover 3 and which is integrally formed on the outer cap 1.
  • the viewing windows 8 are thus quasi formed by depressions in the outer cover 3, whose side walls form separable webs 10 with a function to be explained in more detail.
  • the grip collar 4 of the outer cap 1 is provided on its outside with gripping grooves 11 and at its lower end with an inwardly projecting ring projection 12.
  • the inner cap 2 is held captively by the annular projection 12 and - as mentioned - is rotatably supported over a limited angle of rotation, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the internal thread collar 6 On its inside, the internal thread collar 6 has the internal thread 14 interrupted by axial ventilation grooves 13, with which the screw cap can be screwed onto the external thread 15 of a container mouthpiece 16 (see FIG. 9).
  • a releasable blocking device in the form of a locking tab 17 extending over the axial length of the internal thread 14 is integrally formed on the internal thread collar 6, the shape of which is shown in detail in FIG. 6.
  • the latching tab 17 is basically arranged in the region of a pocket 18 that extends axially in the inside of the internally threaded collar 6.
  • the latching tab itself is designed as a substantially L-shaped head 19 in radial section with a massively widened latching end 20, which is integrally formed in one piece on the inner cap 2 via a hinge-like hinge 21.
  • the latching end 20 of the head 19 points against the direction of rotation D C of the twist lock when closing. From FIG.
  • the screw cap V is screwed mechanically onto the external thread 15 of the container mouthpiece 16 in the direction of rotation D C (FIG. 9A).
  • the head 19 of the latching tab 17 is pushed back into the pocket 18 and slides along the outside of the thread webs 22 of the external thread 15 of the container mouthpiece 16 practically without resistance.
  • Outer cap 1 and inner cap 2 are non-rotatably via the locking projections engaging in the recesses 27 and 28 23 and rotary stops 26 coupled together.
  • the screw cap V can thus be screwed on after filling the beverage bottle with a predetermined torque. Because of their bottoms 9, the viewing windows 8 have a uniform coloring with the rest of the outer cap 1 and are therefore inconspicuous.
  • the inner cap 2 When the closure V is opened for the first time by rotating the outer cap 1 in the direction of rotation D O , the inner cap 2 is taken along by the coupling between the outer cap 1 and the inner cap 2 via the flat flanks 25 of the latching projections 23 and the engagement of the rotary stop 26 in the corresponding receiving recess 28 until Spring the locking tabs 17 into the ventilation grooves 29 which penetrate the webs 22 of the external thread 15 of the container mouthpiece 16 in the axial direction (FIG. 9B).
  • the latching end 20 of the latching tab head 19 abuts against the web flank 30 of the thread webs 20 pointing counter to the direction of rotation D O , as a result of which the inner cap 2 is locked in rotation.
  • the head 19 of the latching tab 17 is turned upside down from the web flank 13 in the manner of an over-dead center kinematics against the direction of rotation D O (FIG. 9D) and by widening the head 19 guided towards the catch end 20 via a lateral catch 32 on the pocket 18 and snapped into the undercut formed thereby (FIG. 9E). So that the locking tab 17 is permanent in the in this drawing. shown inactive position, so that the subsequent reclosing and reopening is done by screwing and unscrewing the screw cap V like a conventional one-piece screw cap and without changing the color code.
  • the second embodiment compared to the first instead of eight, has only a number of four viewing windows 8, which are evenly distributed over angular distances of 90 ° over the circumference of the top surface of the outer cover 3. Accordingly, there are only four correspondingly arranged pockets 18 with laterally adjacent rotary stops 26 in the inner cap 2.
  • the locking projections 23 have moved away from the edges of the pockets 18, whereby two locking projections 23 between two pockets 18 and thus between two viewing window positions distributed over their distance to the inner cap 2 (FIG. 15).
  • Corresponding locking recesses 27 are formed in the inside of the outer cover 3 (see Fig. 14).
  • the screw cap V is screwed mechanically onto an external thread of a container mouthpiece (not shown in FIG. 16).
  • Outer cap 1 and inner cap 2 are coupled to one another in a rotationally fixed manner via the locking projections 23 and rotary stops 26 engaging in the recesses 27 and 28, so that the screw cap can be screwed on with a predetermined torque after filling a beverage bottle.
  • This is to be dimensioned such that a defined static frictional moment is generated between the inner cap 2 and the external thread 15 of the container mouthpiece 16.
  • the viewing windows 8, due to their bottoms 9, in turn have a uniform coloration with the rest of the outer cap 1, and are therefore inconspicuous.
  • one of the two locking projections 23 is snapped into the undercut formed by the receiving recess 28 at the edge of the viewing window, so that the outer cap 1 and inner cap 2 are rotationally locked in both directions of rotation D C and D O (FIG. 16C).
