Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with a special design of a lid to optimize the force acting as buckling membrane acting closure layer, wherein the force is optimized in an adhesive strip (as a seal) to increase the resilience of the seam by a pending internal pressure in a closed package. Other forces can be better absorbed.
  • a generic cover ring which works with an annular component on the inner edge, allows the bulging of the membrane from the inside to the outside, see.
  • WO 20051005277 A1 Crown Packaging
  • Preferred angles of inclination of the flat web are between 10 ° and 20 °.
  • EP 683 110 A1 Carnaudmetalbox
  • the membrane has a completely different shape, has a step and fed with the stored in this stage lid material bulging of the membrane at pressure.
  • the proposed angle of inclination of the flat web is about 30 ° (relative to the horizontal).
  • the other embodiments of the cited document deal with a sealing of the lid edge on an upper body portion, which preferably extends radially outwardly and downwardly angled. There are, however, too Examples, there FIG. 1, 2 disclosed in which this bend of the upper edge portion of the container wall is inclined inwardly.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of increasing a holding force on the flat web without having to make additional changes in the consistency or thickness or width of the sealed seam.
  • the invention proposes not to align the flat web substantially horizontally, but to allow it to extend in its extension inclined at an angle, being used as a reference plane that plane, which results in a sealed-sealing position.
  • the flat web is angled upward, wherein a below-mentioned range of angles is claimed, based on the mentioned level.
  • the closure is already sealed.
  • This plane can also be considered a "horizontal" when the lid ring is placed on a surface. Is the closed position sealed (claim 9), results in a foldable lid.
  • Areas of the angular extent (the inclined extent) of the flat web are between 25 ° and 35 ° or substantially perpendicular or between 80 ° and 90 °.
  • the Be psychologistbord ist is a circumferentially extending, outwardly and downwardly bulging structure that is suitable for Anfalzen the cover ring to a fuselage hook of a fuselage.
  • the fold can be a double fold application.
  • the cover ring is first sealed with the sealing layer, delivered in this prefabricated form and filled at the filler of the fuselage with the contents to then cover it with the cover ring and the sealing position together and then form the double fold edge.
  • the sealing layer delivered in this prefabricated form and filled at the filler of the fuselage with the contents to then cover it with the cover ring and the sealing position together and then form the double fold edge.
  • at a suitable location on the edge of the closure layer at least one or more tabs may be provided, which serve for peeling and the sealing seam begin to split at this point.
  • the entire sealed seam is circumferentially continuously separated and opens the interior to give access to the contents.
  • a Randeinrollung is provided on the inside of the inclined flat web aligned. It forms a deflection point for the closure layer, which is oriented from this réelleeinrollung in a flat position (without internal pressure load), while the edge of this closure position according to the orientation of the flat web inclined and extending ab2020lbar thereon over the seal seam (the adhesive strip or sealing strip) extends.
  • Metallic films can be used as the closure layer, as well as plastic films which are sealed in the edge region. Also possible are composite films (multiple layers or layers) or metallized films which are to be sealed.
  • the sealing surface is an extra applied sealing strip on the flat web, if a metallic sealing layer is used as a foil.
  • the sealing strip has a substantial width, more than half, preferably substantially the entire extension of the flat web.
  • the inner edge curl can extend axially beyond the upper side of the edge bordering for the folded seam (claim 4).
  • FIG. 1 a section of a cover ring is shown, which is closed in the closed state with a film 1, which can take many alternative designs, so may be made of plastic or metal or a composite of such layers.
  • an edge trim 2 is provided, which has a substantially U-shaped form.
  • a different U-shaped shape is found in a groove N1, which is formed between the inner wall of Randbordtechnik as a core wall and an upright flat web 3a.
  • the edge region of the closure layer 1 is closed with a sealing layer not separately shown here.
  • this sealing layer 30 as adhesion layer, for example, adhesive or other suitable, adhesive and food-compatible material.
  • the hull is shown as a trough 20, which has a sloping protruding edge 21, which is inverted when closing the Deckelbordtechnik 2, to be then transferred with a capping machine and a folding roller in a double seam and to close the trunk 20.
  • Vertical is the towering Container wall 22 of the fuselage, which defines the height of the receiving volume of the hull 20.
  • a deviseinrollung 4 On the inside of the flat web 3a, a deviseinrollung 4 is provided, the exact design of the FIGS. 4a, 4b can be removed. It avoids cutting dangers and ensures a deflection u of the closure layer 1, between a sealing portion in its edge region 1 b and a plan section, which freely over the entire interior, within the Randbordtechnik 4 passes over and this closes.
  • the inclination of the flat web 3a is about 90 ° as angle ⁇ 1 in the embodiment of FIG. 1 specified.
  • the alignment of the flat web thus takes place substantially perpendicular to the plane which is predetermined by the inner region of the closure layer 1.
  • the réellebordtechnik 4 protrudes in this example axially over the top of the outside Randbordtechnik 2 over, so that the closure layer 1 protrudes upward on this outside.
  • FIG. 2 An alternative inclination ⁇ 2 is in FIG. 2 shown for the flat bar 3b.
  • This angle is in the (unclaimed) range between 40 ° and 60 °, oriented at the described plane of the membrane 1, which is shown here with the thickness d as very thin.
  • the sheet metal in the cover ring is stronger, so that the molded-in geometries are maintained in normal use, with the exception of the forming of the lid edge 2 in the formation of the seam with the fuselage hook 21 of the fuselage 20th
  • weaker inclination ⁇ 2 compared to FIG. 1 relative to the flat web 3b brings a different cross-sectional shape of the substantially wedge-shaped circumferential groove N2 having a rounded groove bottom.
  • This groove base forms the lowest point of the cover ring, which may be round as such, oval, long oval or rectangular, with slightly rounded inner corners, while allowing the formation of an internal curl 4 also in these inner corners.
  • FIG. 3 Another design shows the FIG. 3 Wherein a flatter alignment ⁇ 3 of the flat web 3c in the range between 25 ° and 35 ° is selected. All other provisos of the preceding description of FIG. 2 are fulfilled as well.
  • the mecaniceinrollung 4 serves as a deflection point for the membrane in the area between the circumferentially extending seal 30,1b and the inner surface 1 for covering the opening within the réelleeinrollung. 4
  • FIG. 4b Due to the inclination of the flat web, shown by way of example by examples ⁇ 1 and a3, a system according to the FIG. 4b receive.
  • An internal pressure on the freely bearing inner surface of the membrane 1 is deflected by the réellebordtechnik 4 and provides a tensile force in the sealing region of the sealing strip 30.
  • the entire width of the sealing strip 30, here in the cross section of FIG. 4b shown, this tensile force z can resist, and better resist, than if a horizontal orientation of the flat bar after FIG. 4a is selected.
  • the compressive force F j acts on the membrane 1 so that a notch effect x at the point 31 of the sealing strip 30 by a vertical tensile force X arises, which by the substantially perpendicular to the extension of the sealing strip 30 pending forces easier to loss of cohesive effect and that leads to a cohesive failure, than that at FIG. 4b was described.
