Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dosierkappe, die an der Mündung eines Behälters durch Aufschrauben festgelegt werden kann und die, wenn sie von der Mündung abgenommen ist, für das Dosieren von im Behälter enthaltener Flüssigkeit nach Art eines "Bechers" verwendet werden kann.The invention relates to a metering cap, which can be fixed at the mouth of a container by screwing and which, when removed from the mouth, can be used for the dosing of liquid contained in the container in the manner of a "cup".

In der US-A-4 566 509 ist in den Fig. 1 bis 6 eine Dosierkappe mit den Merkmalen des einleitenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gezeigt. Allerdings ist kein Hinweis darauf enthalten, dass der dort vorgesehene Schraubring mit dem Becher auf Drehung gekuppelt ist. Dies zeigen insbesondere die Figuren 5 und 6 der US-A-4 566 509, in denen eine am Becher außen vorstehende Ringrippe gezeigt ist, die verhindert, dass der Schraubring vom Becher abrutschen kann. Bei der in den Figuren 7 bis 11 der US-A-4 566 509 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist der Schraubring auf die Außenseite des Bechers geschraubt. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass beim Abschrauben des Schraubringes vom Flaschenhals der Schraubring auch vom Becher losgeschraubt wird, sodass er in eine gegenüber der Mündung des Bechers rückgezogene Stellung bewegt wird, wie dies in Fig. 11 gezeigt ist.In US-A-4 566 509 a metering cap having the features of the introductory part of claim 1 is shown in Figs. 1-6. However, there is no indication that the screw ring provided there is coupled with the cup on rotation. This is particularly shown in Figures 5 and 6 of US-A-4 566 509, in which an outside of the cup projecting annular rib is shown, which prevents the screw ring from slipping off the cup. In the embodiment shown in Figures 7 to 11 of US-A-4 566 509, the screw ring is threaded onto the outside of the cup. It is envisaged that when unscrewing the screw ring from the bottleneck of the screw ring is also unscrewed from the cup, so that it is moved into a retracted relative to the mouth of the cup position, as shown in Fig. 11.

Die WO 03/057582 A zeigt einen Abgabeverschluss für Behälter,der ein Grundelement zum Befestigen am Hals eines Behälters und einen Deckelbereich aufweist, der becherförmig ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist das Grundelement der WO 03/057582 A, das als Verschluss gemäß an einem Behälter aufgeschraubt ist, mit dem becherförmigen Deckelbereich einstückig ausgeführt.WO 03/057582 A shows a dispensing closure for containers, which has a base element for fastening to the neck of a container and a lid region which is cup-shaped. In this case, the basic element of WO 03/057582 A, which is screwed as a closure according to a container, designed in one piece with the cup-shaped lid portion.

Bei der WO 03/057582 ist der Abgabeverschluss einstückig ausgebildet, besteht also nicht aus zwei getrennten Teilen, nämlich einem Becher und einem Schraubring.In WO 03/057582 the dispensing closure is integrally formed, so it does not consist of two separate parts, namely a cup and a screw ring.

Bekannt ist eine Dosierkappe, die aus einem Becher und einem an diesem außerhalb seiner Wand angeordneten Ring besteht. Der Ring weist an seiner der Wand des Bechers zugekehrten Fläche ein Innengewinde auf, das dem Außengewinde an der Mündung des Behälters entspricht. Durch Aufschrauben des Ringes wird die Verschlusskappe an der Mündung des Behälters festgelegt und verschließt diese.Known is a dosing, which consists of a cup and a ring arranged on this outside his wall. The ring has on its the wall of the cup facing surface on an internal thread corresponding to the external thread at the mouth of the container. By screwing on the ring, the cap is fixed at the mouth of the container and closes it.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Dosierkappe ist es, dass der Schraub-Ring an dem Becher lediglich durch Aufschnappen befestigt ist und gegenüber dem Becher verdrehbar ist. Nachteilig ist dies, weil nur am Schraub-Ring selbst angegriffen werden kann, um die Dosierkappe an der Mündung des Behälters festzuschrauben. Am Becher kann zum Festschrauben nicht angegriffen werden, da der Becher gegenüber dem Schraub-Ring verdrehbar ist.A disadvantage of the known dosing is that the screw-ring is attached to the cup only by snapping and opposite the cup is rotatable. This is disadvantageous because only the screw ring itself can be attacked in order to screw the dosing cap to the mouth of the container. The cup can not be attacked for tightening, since the cup is rotatable relative to the screw ring.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Dosierkappe der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung anzugeben, welche die geschilderten Nachteile nicht aufweist.The invention is based on the object to provide a dosing of the type described above, which does not have the disadvantages described.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe in erster Linie mit einer Dosierkappe, welche die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruches 1 aufweist.This object is achieved primarily with a dosing cap, which has the features of independent claim 1.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Dosierkappe sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the metering cap according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Dosierkappe der Schraub-Ring am Becher so festgelegt ist, dass er gegenüber dem Becher nicht verdrehbar ist, kann zum Befestigen (Aufschrauben) der Dosierkappe an der Mündung eines Behälters wahlweise am Schraub-Ring oder am Becher selbst angegriffen werden. Sinngemäßes gilt, wenn der Becher vom Behälter durch Verschrauben abgenommen werden soll.Since in the dosing cap according to the invention the screw ring on the cup is fixed so that it is not rotatable relative to the cup, the dosing cap can be selectively attached to the screw ring or the cup itself for fastening (screwing) the dosing cup to the mouth of a container. The same applies if the cup should be removed from the container by screwing.

So wird auch sichergestellt, dass sich der Becher in jedem Fall dreht, wenn die Dosierkappe durch Drehen des Schraub-Ringes an der Mündung des Behälters festgeschraubt wird. Dies ist für den dichten Abschluss zwischen Becher und der Mündung des Behälters vorteilhaft, da durch die so erreichte Schraub-Dreh-Bewegung des Bechers gegenüber der Mündung des Behälters ein dichter Abschluss mit Sicherheit erreicht wird.This also ensures that the cup in any case Turns when the dosing cap is screwed by turning the screw ring at the mouth of the container. This is advantageous for the tight closure between the cup and the mouth of the container, since the thus achieved screw-twist movement of the cup with respect to the mouth of the container a tight seal is achieved with certainty.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist an der Außenseite der Wand des Bechers eine ringsum vorspringende Rippe vorgesehen, an welcher der Verschraubring festgelegt ist.In a preferred embodiment, on the outside of the wall of the cup a round projecting rib is provided, on which the Verschraubring is fixed.

Diese ringförmige, an der Außenseite der Wand des Bechers vorgesehene Rippe kann sich von der Öffnung des Bechers zu dessen Boden hin verbreiternd (also im Querschnitt keilförmig) ausgebildet sein, so dass bei in die Mündung des Behälters eingreifendem Becher ein sicherer und dichter Sitz der Dosierkappe gewährleistet ist.This annular, provided on the outside of the wall of the cup rib can be widening (wedge-shaped in cross section) from the opening of the cup towards the bottom, so that when engaging in the mouth of the container cup a secure and tight fit of the dosing is guaranteed.

Die Verdrehsicherung zwischen Schraub-Ring und Becher der Dosierkappe kann im Rahmen der Erfindung auf verschiedene Art und Weise erreicht werden. Bevorzugt ist eine Verdrehsperre zwischen Schraub-Ring und Becher, die durch radiale Stege erreicht ist, wobei die Stege am Becher beispielsweise im Bereich von dessen von seiner Wand nach außen abstehenden Ringrippe vorgesehen sein können.The rotation between the screw ring and cup of the dosing can be achieved in the invention in various ways. Preference is given to a rotation lock between screw ring and cup, which is achieved by radial webs, wherein the webs may be provided on the cup, for example in the region of its outwardly projecting from its wall annular rib.

Die Stege des Schraub-Ringes sind beispielsweise im Bereich seines Randes vorgesehen, der an einem Ringwulst an dem dem Boden des Bechers benachbarten Ende der Ringrippe durch Aufprellen oder Aufpressen festgelegt ist.The webs of the screw ring are provided for example in the region of its edge, which is fixed to an annular bead on the bottom of the cup adjacent the end of the annular rib by bouncing or pressing.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Dosierkappe 1 weist einen Becher 3 mit Wand 9, einem Boden 7 und einer dem Boden 7 gegenüberliegenden Öffnung 11 auf, wobei der Boden 7 annähernd halbkugelförmig mit einer Abflachung ausgebildet sein kann. Die Wand 9 ist im wesentlichen zylinderförmig. Von der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 der Dosierkappe 1 steht nach außen eine Ringrippe 13 ab, die sich von dem offenen Ende 11 des Bechers 3 zum geschlossenen Ende (Boden 7) desselben hin keilförmig erweitert, und eine im wesentlichen konusförmige Außenfläche besitzt. Im Bereich dieser Ringrippe 13 ist - bei auf der Mündung eines Behälters aufgesetzter Dosierkappe 1 - der freie Endrand der Mündung angeordnet. An der dicksten Stelle der Ringrippe 13 ist mit Abstand von der Außenseite der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 ein Ringwulst 15 vorgesehen, der mit der Ringrippe 13 einstückig ausgebildet ist.A metering cap 1 according to the invention has a cup 3 with wall 9, a bottom 7 and an opening 11 opposite the bottom 7, wherein the bottom 7 can be formed approximately hemispherical with a flattening. The wall 9 is substantially cylindrical. From the wall 9 of the cup 3 of the dosing 1 is outwardly from an annular rib 13 which widens wedge-shaped from the open end 11 of the cup 3 to the closed end (bottom 7), and has a substantially conical outer surface. In the region of this annular rib 13, the free end edge of the mouth is arranged, with a dosing cap 1 placed on the mouth of a container. At the thickest point of the annular rib 13, an annular bead 15 is provided at a distance from the outside of the wall 9 of the cup 3, which is formed integrally with the annular rib 13.

Der Becher 3 kann beispielsweise ein einstückiger Spritzgussteil aus Kunststoff, insbesondere thermoplastischem Kunststoff, sein.The cup 3 may for example be a one-piece injection molded part made of plastic, in particular thermoplastic.

An der Außenseite des Bechers 3 der Dosierkappe 1 ist im Bereich der Ringrippe 13 ein Schraub-Ring 5 vorgesehen. Der Schraub-Ring 5 ist mit einer im Bereich seines dem Boden 7 des Bechers 3 benachbarten Ende vorgesehenen Ringnut 17 über den Ringwulst 15 an der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 aufgeschnappt, wobei dann der Ringwulst 15 des Bechers 3 in die Ringnut 17 des Schraub-Ringes 5 eingreift. Der Schraub-Ring 5 trägt an seiner Innenseite ein Innengewinde 19.On the outside of the cup 3 of the dosing 1, a screw ring 5 is provided in the region of the annular rib 13. The screw ring 5 is snapped with an adjacent in the region of its bottom 7 of the cup 3 end annular groove 17 on the annular bead 15 on the wall 9 of the cup 3, in which case the annular bead 15 of the cup 3 in the annular groove 17 of the screw Ringes 5 intervenes. The screw ring 5 carries on its inside an internal thread 19th

Der Becher 3 und der an ihm festgelegte Schraub-Ring 5 bilden zusammen die erfindungsgemäße Dosierkappe 1.The cup 3 and the screw ring 5 fixed to it together form the metering cap 1 according to the invention.

Um den Schraub-Ring 5 gegen Verdrehung gegenüber dem Becher 3 der Dosierkappe 1 zu sichern, ist zwischen dem Schraub-Ring 5 einerseits und dem Becher 3 anderseits eine Verdrehsperre vorgesehen. Diese Verdrehsperre besteht im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus zum Becher 3 radial ausgerichteten Stegen 21 zwischen der Innenseite des abstehenden Ringwulstes 15 der Ringrippe 13 und der Außenseite der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 der Dosierkappe 1.In order to secure the screw-ring 5 against rotation relative to the cup 3 of the dosing 1, a rotation lock is provided between the screw ring 5 on the one hand and the cup 3 on the other hand. This rotation lock is in the illustrated embodiment of the cup 3 radially aligned webs 21 between the inside of the protruding annular bead 15 of the annular rib 13 and the outside of the wall 9 of the cup 3 of the dosing. 1

Am Schraub-Ring 5 sind ebenfalls radial ausgerichtete Stege 23 vorgesehen, die im Bereich der Ringnut 17 (die Nut 17, in welcher der Ringwulst 15 des Bechers 3 aufgenommen ist) angeordnet sind. Im Ausführungsbeispiel begrenzen die Stege 23 die Ringnut 17 radial nach innen (vgl. Fig. 5 und 6). Wie Fig. 5 zeigt, sind die am Schraub-Ring 5 vorgesehenen Stege 23 radial nach innen frei endend, d.h. die Spalten 25 zwischen ihnen sind zur Mitte des Schraub-Ringes hin offen. Bei am Becher 3 angesetztem Schraub-Ring 5 greifen die Stege 23 des Schraub-Ringes 5 zwischen die Stege 21 des Bechers 3, so dass der Schraub-Ring 5 gegenüber dem Becher 3 nicht verdreht werden kann.At the screw ring 5 also radially aligned webs 23 are provided, which are arranged in the region of the annular groove 17 (the groove 17, in which the annular bead 15 of the cup 3 is received). In the embodiment, the webs 23 limit the annular groove 17 radially inwardly (see Fig .. 5 and 6). As shown in FIG. 5, the webs 23 provided on the screw-ring 5 are free-ending radially inwardly, i. the gaps 25 between them are open towards the center of the screw ring. When attached to the cup 3 screw 5 engage the webs 23 of the screw ring 5 between the webs 21 of the cup 3, so that the screw ring 5 relative to the cup 3 can not be rotated.

Auch der Schraub-Ring 5 kann einstückig aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt sein.Also, the screw ring 5 may be made in one piece of plastic, in particular of thermoplastic material, by injection molding.

Die in den Fig. 8 bis 11 gezeigte Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der in den Fig. 1 bis 7 gezeigten Ausführungsform durch eine andere Ausgestaltung der Verdrehsicherung zwischen dem Schraubring 5 und dem Becher 3. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die Stege 21 zwischen der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 und dem Ringwulst 15 der Ringrippe 13 keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei sich die Stege 21 zum Boden 7 des Bechers 3 hin verjüngen (Fig. 9). Dementsprechend sind auch die Stege 23 am Schraub-Ring 5 keilförmig ausgebildet (Fig. 11). Diese Ausführungsform besitzt zusätzlich zu den Vorteilen der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 bis 7 noch den Vorteil, dass keine Endflächen der Stege 21 und 23 vorliegen, die beim Ansetzen des Schraub-Ringes 5 an den Becher 3 aneinander anliegen und das Ansetzen behindern könnten.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 11 differs from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 by another embodiment of the rotation between the screw ring 5 and the cup 3. In this embodiment, the webs 21 between the wall 9 of Bechers 3 and the annular bead 15 of the annular rib 13 formed wedge-shaped, with the webs 21 to the bottom 7 of the cup 3 taper (Fig. 9). Accordingly, the webs 23 on the screw ring 5 are wedge-shaped (Fig. 11). This embodiment has in addition to the advantages of the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 7 nor the advantage that no end surfaces of the webs 21 and 23 are present, which abut when attaching the screw ring 5 to the cup 3 together and impede the piecing.

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt dargestellt werden:

  • Eine als Verschluss für einen mit einer Ausgießöffnung versehenen Behälter dienende Dosierkappe 1 besteht aus einem Becher 3 und einem am Becher 3 festgelegtem Schraub-Ring 5. Über den Schraub-Ring 5 kann der Becher 3 der Dosierkappe 1 an einer Mündung eines Behälters durch Aufschrauben des ein Innengewinde 19 aufweisenden Schraub-Ringes 5 auf die mit einem Außengewinde versehene Mündung des Behälters festgelegt werden, dabei greift das vom Boden 7 des Bechers 3 abgekehrte offene Ende der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 dichtend in das Innere der Mündung ein. Der Schraub-Ring 5 ist mit dem Becher 3 der Dosierkappe 1 auf Drehung gekuppelt. Dies wird beispielsweise dadurch erreicht, dass an dem Schraub-Ring 5 wenigstens ein Steg 23 vorgesehen ist, dem wenigstens ein Steg 21 an der Außenseite der Wand 9 des Bechers 3 der Dosierkappe 1 zugeordnet ist. Bevorzugt sind mehrere über den Umfang des Bechers 3 der Dosierkappe 1 und des Schraub-Ringes 5 verteilt angeordnete Stege 21, 23, die radial ausgerichtet und keilförmig ausgebildet sind, vorgesehen.
