Definitions

  • 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".
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the dispensing closure is integrally formed, so it does not consist of two separate parts, namely a cup and a screw ring.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a dosing of the type described above, which does not have the disadvantages described.
  • the dosing cap 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.
  • a round projecting rib is provided, on which the Verschraubring is fixed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a metering cap 1 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.
  • the free end edge of the mouth is arranged, with a dosing cap 1 placed on the mouth of a container.
  • 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.
  • the cup 3 may for example be a one-piece injection molded part made of plastic, in particular thermoplastic.
  • 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
  • the cup 3 and the screw ring 5 fixed to it together form the metering cap 1 according to the invention.
  • 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
  • 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).
  • the webs 23 limit the annular groove 17 radially inwardly (see Fig .. 5 and 6).
  • 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.
  • the screw ring 5 may be made in one piece of plastic, in particular of thermoplastic material, by injection molding.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
