Definitions
- the invention relates to a container closure combination consisting of a closure cap part and a neck part of a container having a pouring opening.
- the invention particularly relates to a one-way closure combination.
- One field of use of such disposable closure combinations is for closing containers for products that have to be used immediately after opening the container by spoiling easily, e.g. become toxic as soon as they come into contact with air. It must therefore be ensured that once a container has been opened it cannot be closed again using the same closure.
- a known way of closing containers with this effect is by means of so-called crown closures.
- crown closures require an opening tool and a sturdy container for their application. This requirement is often not met when the access openings of pouring mold parts of bag-like containers are closed.
- the appearance of a conventional screw or plug closure is often desired for aesthetic reasons.
- the invention creates a container lock combination designed as a one-way lock, which is characterized by the features of claim 1.
- a spreading collar is positioned on the closure cap part in a positionally positioned manner on a collar-engaging region of a neck part, said collar having a radial outer dimension that is larger than the radial dimension of a limiting opening of the collar-engaging region.
- the spreading collar can be moved out through the limiting opening against an elastic restoring force, but it is in the process of moving back hindered the area behind the collar.
- the disposable closure according to the invention does not need to differ from conventional container closures, despite the function mentioned.
- the disposable closure can be designed in such a way that the closure cap part can no longer be positioned in relation to the neck part after the first opening. However, it is also possible to design such that the closure cap part can no longer be brought into an actual closed position on the neck part after the first opening, but in an intermediate position in which the closure cap part can assume a defined position relative to the neck part without it increasing hermetic sealing of a pouring opening in the neck part. This facilitates, inter alia, the recycling of containers provided with disposable closures according to the invention after their emptying.
- FIG. 1 shows in longitudinal section a disposable closure combination according to an embodiment of the invention with a fragmentarily indicated container in the initial state
- FIG. 1A shows the disposable closure combination according to FIG. 1 in a state after removal of a closure cap part from a neck part
- Fig. 2 in a view similar to Fig. 1, a disposable closure combination according to another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2A shows the disposable closure combination according to FIG. 2 in a state after removal of a closure cap part from a neck part.
- the invention is described below on the basis of embodiments in which a closure cap part 1 is mounted on a neck part 3 of a container part 2 by providing complementary cooperating threads on the neck part 3 and closure cap part 1, so that the closure cap part 1 is released from the neck part 3 with the release of a pouring opening 5 can be removed by a screwing movement.
- the invention is not limited to such an assembly of the closure cap part 1, but the closure cap part 1 can also be removable from the neck part 3 in another way, for example by an axial translational movement.
- the neck part 3 has a pouring passage 4 with a circumferentially enlarged area 12 near the container part 2 and a narrowed circumferential area 8 near a pouring opening 5.
- the transition between the peripheral regions 8, 12 is formed by a conical transition region 7, which forms an annular engagement surface 13 that tapers conically in the direction of the narrowed peripheral region 8.
- the cap part 1 comprises, in a known manner, a cap end wall 9 and a cap edge 10 protruding from its outer circumference.
- the cap part 1 overlaps the neck part 3, a screw thread 11 being formed on the inner circumference of the cap edge 10 and having a complementary screw thread 6 on the outer circumference of the neck part 3 can cooperate in order to mount the closure cap part 1 while sealing the pouring opening 5 on the neck part 3.
- annular flange 14 projects with an outer diameter which is adapted to the inner diameter of the narrowed peripheral region 8 of the neck part 3, so that the annular flange 14 can engage in the peripheral region 8 of the neck part 3, as shown in FIG. 1 is shown.
- an expansion collar 15 is provided, which extends from the ring flange 14 outwards and downwards and has a tip or edge 16, the diameter of which essentially corresponds to that of the enlarged peripheral region 12 of the neck part 3 or is slightly smaller or somewhat larger than this diameter can be.
- the expansion collar 15 has a conical or slightly convex upper surface which can come into engagement with the rear engagement surface 13 of the transition region 7 when the closure cap part 1 is removed from the neck part 3. This causes the expansion collar 15 to undergo an elastic deformation in the sense of a reduction in diameter until it can be passed through the narrowed peripheral region 8. As soon as the expansion collar 15 has left the pouring opening 5, it resumes its original expansion position due to the elasticity of the material and the restoring force caused thereby, as shown in FIG. 1A.
- the diameter of the edge 16 of the expansion collar 15 is larger than that of the pouring opening 5, so that in an attempt to screw the closure cap part 1 back onto the neck part 3 or to mount it, the edge 16 of the expansion collar 15 abuts an end edge 17 of the neck part 3 comes, whereby the closure cap part 1 is prevented from further axial movement relative to the neck part 3.
- the configuration shown in FIG. 1 between the closure cap part 1 and the neck part 3 cannot be taken up again, since an increased effort only increases or increases the radial dimension of the Spread collar 15 would lead.
- the expansion collar 15 can initially be substantially axially aligned when the closure cap part 1 is first mounted on the neck part 3 or represent an axial extension of the ring flange 14.
- a tool not shown, introduced on the part of the neck part 3 suitably, for example by cold or hot deformation of the expansion collar 15 into the final shape represented by solid lines.
- FIGS. 2 and 2A show a further embodiment of the invention.
- the same or similar components as in the embodiment described above and shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A have the same reference numerals and are not explained again below.
- the means that prevent the closure cap part 1 from being returned to the starting or closing position shown in FIG. 2 after the closure cap part 1 has been removed from the neck part 3 are the outer circumference of the closure cap part 1 and neck part 3 intended.
- an expansion collar 25 is provided at the lower end of the cap edge 10, which extends outwards and downwards from the cap edge 10 and can have a tapered edge 26, a conical top 24 and a conical bottom 31.
- An annular recess or receptacle 27 is provided on the neck part 3, in which the expansion collar 25 is received in the closed position of the closure cap part 1, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the receptacle 27 can be formed by a web 28 projecting radially outwards from the neck part 3 and an edge 29 projecting axially upward from the outer circumference thereof.
- the end edge 32 encircles an access opening to the receptacle 27 with a radial dimension which is smaller than that of the edge edge 26 of the expansion collar 25, so that the expansion collar 25 can be passed through the access opening 32 when the closure cap part 1 is removed from the neck part 3, if either The diameter of the edge edge 26 is temporarily reduced or the diameter of the end edge 32 is temporarily enlarged. This can be because of the elastic property of the expansion collar 25 or Conical approach 30 or both parts take place, the resulting restoring force bringing the parts back into the starting position shown in FIG. 2, as soon as the expansion collar 25 is arranged inside or outside the receptacle 27.
- the edge 26 of the expansion collar 25 projects beyond the shoulder 30 when the closure cap part 1 has been moved at least one axial distance into the position that releases the pouring opening 5.
- the underside 24 of the expanding collar 25 slides on the upper side of the extension 30, which causes the diameter of the peripheral edge 26 to increase, but does not result in the expanding collar 25 re-entering the receptacle 27 may have.
- the lug 30 may have an initial axial extension and may be suitably used, e.g. can be deformed by cold or hot forming into the final shape shown in the drawing in order to position the expansion collar 25 in the receptacle 27.
- the closure cap part and neck part can be produced in one go by two-component injection molding, by first molding one of the parts in an injection mold and then additionally the other part in the same injection mold.
- the two-component injection molding of plastics is known to the person skilled in the art and need not be explained in more detail here. In this way, a mutual configuration of the parts can be obtained, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, without a mechanical subsequent forming step having to be carried out.
- the expansion collar can be designed as a circumferentially continuous or segmented expansion flange. Instead of this, there could also be a reduction in the spread collar and / or the relevant collar engagement area can be provided on diametrically opposite areas of the closure cap part or neck part.
