Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinged closure made of plastic, for a container, in particular a bottle, wherein the closure has a peripheral outer collar, which is insertable via at least one projection in at least one bead of the container, with a connected to the outer collar via a hinge lid , Which has a grip tab and can be locked via an inside lid edge in the closed state behind a circumferential projection of the outer collar.
  • a so-called one-piece snap hinge made of resilient plastic is already known (DE 31 50 493).
  • This snap hinge is molded in one piece with a bottle cap, for example made of polypropylene. It has two hinge parts, of which a hinge part serves as a lower part of a bottle closure for placing on a bottle neck, while the other hinge part forms a lid for closing the lower part.
  • a hinge part serves as a lower part of a bottle closure for placing on a bottle neck
  • the other hinge part forms a lid for closing the lower part.
  • a prior art is a snap closure for vessels, especially for bottles with beaded edge (AT-PS 389 097).
  • the closure has a jacket projecting from the closure bottom, which has snap projections in two annular regions arranged at an axial distance from one another.
  • a skirt portion of the closure is formed by a pull-tab which is bounded laterally by weak points emanating from the free edge of the shell.
  • the object of the present invention in contrast, is to develop a folding closure consisting of an outer collar and a lid in such a way that it can be mounted damage-free with a container in the first step and ensures easy handling in the second step in addition to a tamper-evident feature.
  • the gripping bottle has on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the container extending, connected to the lid breaking points as tamper evidence.
  • the reinforcement may be in a further embodiment of the invention, an inside of the lid arranged web, said web connects two separated by the grip tab areas of the lid edge together.
  • a snap closure 1 is shown made of plastic, which serves to seal a container 2, in particular a bottle.
  • the closure 1 has a peripheral outer collar 5, which can be inserted via at least one projection 10 in at least one bead edge of the container 2.
  • a cover 20 is provided, which is connected via a hinge 15, which may be formed for example as a film hinge, with the outer collar 5.
  • This cover 20 has a grip tab 22.
  • the lid 20 Via an inside lid edge 24, the lid 20 can be locked in the closed state behind a peripheral projection 26 of the outer collar 5, to which the lid inner edge has an edge region 24 'according to FIG. 3, which can be incorporated in the peripheral projection 26 of the outer collar 5.
  • the gripping tab 22 has, according to FIG. 4, on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the container 2 extending, connected to the cover 20 predetermined breaking points 28 as tamper evidence. From Fig. 4 it is also apparent that the lid 20 is provided in the region of the predetermined breaking points 28 with a reinforcement 30. This reinforcement 30 may be formed as arranged inside the lid 20 web 32. Here, the web 32 connects two by the grip tabs 22 separate areas A and B of the lid edge 24 together.
  • the grip tab 22 is pivotally connected via a film hinge 34 to the cover 20, wherein this film hinge 34 extends over part of the circumference in the upper region of the lid 20 of FIG. 4.
  • the circumferential outer collar 5 is connected via an annular region 36 to an inner collar 38 which projects beyond the outer collar 5 and serves as a guide for a closure ring 40 extending on the inner side of the lid 20.
  • the inner collar 38 on the inside and the locking ring 40 are bevelled on the outside, so that an easy insertion of the inner collar 38 results in the locking ring 20, when the cover 20 is transferred according to FIG. 3 from the open position to the closed position of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.
  • the ring portion 36 is higher than the outer collar 5 and is connected via a side wall 42 with this.
  • the side wall 42 has the aforementioned projection 26, in which at least partially the edge region 24 'of the lid 20 in the closed state of FIG. 1 or 2 can be inserted.
  • the cover 20 has on the inside a plurality of radially extending ribs 44 which are arranged between the cover wall 21 and the closure ring 40.
  • the hinged closure according to the invention is pressed onto the upper region of a container 2, for example a bottle, whereby, in particular, via the web 32 the tamper-evident closure, i. the predetermined breaking points 28 experience no damage.
  • a container 2 for example a bottle
  • the handle latch 22 is moved by pivoting about the film hinge 34 from the position of FIG. 1 in the position of FIG. 2, so tear the two shown in Fig. 4 predetermined breaking points 32, after which the cover from the position of FIG. 2 in the position of Fig. 3 can be transferred.
  • medium in the container 2 can be poured out via the inner collar 38.
  • the cover 20 For closing the hinged closure, the cover 20 is moved from the position according to FIG. 3 into the position according to FIG. 2, wherein the locking ring 40 of the cover 20 engages on the inside of the inner collar 38 and thus the position according to FIG. 2 is reached.
  • the grip tab 22 can be rotated around the film hinge 34 in the counterclockwise direction, after which a bead 46 is incorporated on the inside of the grip tab 22 in the projection 26 and thus secures the grip tab properly in the closed position.
  • the bead-like edge region 24 'of the lid 20 superimposed in the circumferential projection 26, so that a perfect closure of the container 2 is ensured.
