Definitions
- Tearable pouring part made of plastic and injection mold for the production of the pouring part
- the invention relates to a tear-open pouring part made of plastic for liquid, pasty or powdery products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the object of the invention is furthermore an injection molding tool according to the preamble of patent claim 8.
- Tearable pouring parts make it easier to open plastic containers such as bottles and containers made of laminated materials such as beverage packs, such as brick packs, sacks and bags.
- Such pouring parts are known in various designs. Pouring parts made exclusively of plastic have the disadvantage that their gas-vapor tightness is only guaranteed to a limited extent, particularly in the area of the opening cross section that can be torn open.
- a known pouring part with improved gas vapor tightness comprises a metal foil glued under the opening to be broken open, which by pressing an overlying, firmly connected to the neck of the pouring disc made of plastic and can be broken open. Radial predetermined breaking lines are provided in the disc, which allow the disc to be pressed into the center.
- a disadvantage of this pouring part are the fragments of the plastic cover and the torn-open metal foil which protrude radially into the interior of the container and are still connected to the neck and cannot be removed.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a tear-open pouring part with maximum gas vapor tightness and a lid part which can be removed from the pouring part without leaving any residue after opening and previously closing the pouring opening.
- the pouring part according to the invention not only ensures optimum gas vapor tightness in the region of the pouring opening, but also over the entire cross section of the pouring part, ie up to the periphery of the flange ring of the pouring part, which is glued to the container, Sealing or welding.
- the cut edge of the metal foil, which is inserted into the injection mold prior to the injection of the pouring part, is also completely encapsulated by plastic, so that corrosion in the area of the cut edge by the filling material can be completely prevented.
- the cover part spanning the pouring opening can be torn out effortlessly and without residues together with the metal foil underneath by means of a tear-open tab. be poured out of the pouring part.
- the cross-section of the pouring spout is then available for the pouring spout.
- the pouring part is produced inexpensively in a single work cycle within the injection mold. Reworking on the molding after demolding is no longer necessary.
- the creation of the predetermined breaking line in the lid part on the circumference of the pouring opening and the connecting webs holding the lid part on the neck take place when the injection mold is closed. Additional post-processing and the associated handling can be omitted.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the
- Figure 4 shows a perspective
- Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the groove (section A in Figure 4).
- the pouring part designated by reference number 1 in the figures comprises a disk-shaped base or base plate 3 with a cylindrical jacket-shaped neck 5 placed thereon, if desired or necessary, a cover can be attached to the neck 5.
- the base plate 3 surrounds the neck 5 on the outside as an annular disk 7 and in the interior of the neck 5 as a circular disk 9, which forms the cover part.
- the cover part 9 further comprises an axially extending connecting web 13 which is spaced apart from the inside 11 of the neck 5 and which carries a tear-open tab 15 at its upper end.
- the tear-open tab 15 is preferably designed as an annular body.
- the cover part 9 inside the neck 5 is connected to the inside 11 of the latter by a plurality of connections 17.
- the metal foil 23 preferably spans the entire surface of the base plate 3 with the exception of a narrow, for example 0.5-1 mm wide area 25 on the periphery of the base plate 3. In this circular area 25, the cut edge of the metal foil 23 produced as a stamped part is made of the plastic of the base plate 3 or the pouring part 1 and thus completely covered.
- the metal foil 23 also spans the gaps 21 between the connections 17 or between the periphery 19 of the cover part 9 and the inside 11 of the neck 5.
- the cross section of the gap 19 between the inside 11 of the neck 5 and the periphery 19 of the cover part 9 can V -shaped (not shown), V-shaped with a blunt tip (see Figure 5) or rectangular in cross-section (not shown).
- the connections 17 can have a trapezoidal cross-section (compare FIGS. 1-3), the longer base lying on the periphery 19 of the cover part 9 and the shorter one on the inside 11 of the neck 5 and being connected there. Alternatively, the connections 17 can also have a rectangular shape (not shown).
- the shape of the cover part 9 would change accordingly.
- the pouring part 1 according to the invention is produced directly in an injection mold of an injection molding machine without additional post-processing. After inserting the film 23 serving as a barrier, the injection mold is closed.
- the annular tool part delimiting the inside 11 of the neck 5 is configured on the cover part side with a holding and squeezing edge, which edge comes into non-positive contact with the film 23 inserted in the injection mold and presses it onto the injection mold.
- the pressure 23 holds the film 23 in the inserted position, ie the periphery of the film lies at a distance of, for example, 0.5-1 mm from the wall of the injection mold, which forms the periphery of the base plate 3.
- the holding edge of the injection mold not only serves to hold the film 23 exactly positioned, but it also prevents plastic from entering the surface of the film 23 in the area of the gaps 21.
- the film 23 consequently remains in the area of the gaps 21 Free on both sides of plastic material from which the pouring part 1 is injected.
- the plastic material flows through the connections 17 radially outwards, if the injection is preferably carried out in the center of the cover part 9. Moving, upsetting or injecting the film 23 is thereby prevented without problems.
- the pouring part 1 After the application / insertion of the pouring part 1 in a container (not shown) or in a corresponding opening in the multilayer material forming the container and after the corresponding adhesive bonding to the latter, the pouring part 1 forms a completely vapor-tight closure.
- the large overlap of the film 23 in the region of the flange part 7, i.e. the circular disc with the adjacent container material prevents radial penetration of gases or liquids from the outside of the container inside.
- Opening the pouring part 1 according to the invention is extremely simple and, above all, safe.
- the connections 17 are broken one after the other and the film 23 in the area of the gaps or slots 19 tears off without residue and remains on the torn off cover part 9.
