Abstract

The invention relates to a plastic screw-on lid (1) for a receptacle, particularly for holding cosmetics. Said lid is formed by a threaded element (3) and by a closure element (5) joined thereto by a film hinge. The invention is characterized in that the threaded element (3) has a end edge ring (8), which points upward when in a working position and which delimits the removal opening (10) with a ring lip seal (9), which is located underneath, made of an elastic material and which points inside the opening, and in that the closure element (5) has a pot bottom part (5a) that, in the closed position, projects into the opening (10), whereby the elastic ring lip seal (9), when the receptacle (1) is in a closed position, is supported in a sealed manner against the outer wall (5b) of the pot bottom area (5a) via an area on the upper edge of the receptacle and via a sealing lip (9a).

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Schraubdeckel aus Kunststoff für einen Behälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention is directed to a screw cap made of plastic for a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Behälter sind in unterschiedlichen Gestaltungen bekannt. So zeigt beispielsweise die auf der EP-1 150 896 -T2 basierende DE-699 02 561-T2 einen derartigen Kosmetikbehälter als Einheit, bei dem sowohl der Behälterkörper wie auch der Deckel wie auch das notwendige Dichtelement einstückig bzw. durch Koextrusion gestaltet bzw. hergestellt sind. Auch das DE-299 18 252-U zeigt einen entsprechenden Behälterverschluß, bei dem auch Deckel und Dichtung gleichzeitig bereitgestellt werden. Einen sogenannten "Flip-Top-Verschluß" zeigt auch die EP-0 621 201-A , um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen.Such containers are known in different designs. For example, on the EP-1 150 896 -T2 based DE-699 02 561-T2 Such a cosmetic container as a unit in which both the container body as well as the lid as well as the necessary sealing element are designed or manufactured in one piece or by coextrusion. That too DE-299 18 252-U shows a corresponding container closure, in which also lid and gasket are provided simultaneously. A so-called "flip-top closure" also shows the EP-0 621 201-A just to name a few examples.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Deckel ist aus der GB 20 35 274 bekannt.A generic cover is from the GB 20 35 274 known.

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine möglichst einfache Gestaltung eines solchen Deckels bei gleichzeitiger Sicherstellung der zuverlässigen Abdichtung zwischen Kosmetikbehälter und Schraubdeckel einerseits und dem "Flip Top" andererseits zu schaffen, d.h. ein Verschlußelement das von der benutzenden Person bei Gebrauch des kosmetischen Mittels geöffnet und geschlossen wird.The aim of the present invention is to provide as simple a design as possible of such a lid while ensuring the reliable sealing between the cosmetic container and the screw cap on the one hand and the "flip top" on the other hand, i. a closure element which is opened and closed by the user using the cosmetic product.

Bei einem gattungsgemäßen Schraubdeckel wird diese Aufgabe mit den kenneichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.In a generic screw cap, this object is achieved with the kenneichnenden features of claim 1.

Durch diese zwei Funktionen der Ringlippendichtung wird eine zuverlässige einfache Gestaltung eines solchen Schraubdeckels möglich.These two functions of the annular lip seal a reliable simple design of such a screw cap is possible.

Vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn die Ringlippendichtung an ihren in die Entnahmeöffnung ragenden Bereich querschnittlich sichelförmig ausgebildet ist, wie dies die Erfindung in Ausgestaltung ebenfalls vorsieht.It may be advantageous if the annular lip seal is designed to be cross-sectionally sickle-shaped at its region projecting into the removal opening, as the invention also provides in an embodiment.

Um die Öffnungs- und Schließstellung zu fixieren und das Filmscharnier zu unterstützen, kann nach der Erfindung auch vorgesehen sein, daß zusätzlich die Trennfuge überbrückende Stützbänder vorgesehen sind.In order to fix the opening and closing position and to support the film hinge, can also be provided according to the invention that in addition the parting line bridging support bands are provided.

Der in den Figuren dargestellte, allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Schraubdeckel dient zum Verschließen eines in Fig. 1 im Querschnitt angedeuteten Behälters 2, z.B. zur Aufnahme eines kosmetischen Mittels. Der Schraubdeckel 1 ist aus Kunststoff gefertigt und besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Funktionselementen, nämlich zum einen aus einem mit 3 bezeichneten Gewindeelement und einem daran über ein Filmscharnier 4 einstückig verbundenen Verschlußelement 5, wobei das Gewindeelement 3 gegenüber dem Filmscharnier 4 einen Rastbereich 6 und das Verschlußelement 5 einen entsprechenden Rasthaken 7 aufweist.The illustrated in the figures, generally designated 1 screw cap is used to close a in Fig. 1 in cross section indicated container 2, for example for receiving a cosmetic agent. The screw cap 1 is made of plastic and consists essentially of two functional elements, namely on the one hand from a threaded member 3 and an integrally connected thereto via a film hinge 4 closure element 5, wherein the threaded member 3 with respect to the film hinge 4, a latching region 6 and the closure element 5 has a corresponding latching hook 7.

Zur Abdichtung des Schraubdeckels 1 gegenüber dem Behälter 2 ist unterhalb eines nach oben weisenden Endrandringes 8 durch Koextrusion eine Ringlippendichtung, allgemein mit 9 bezeichnet, angeformt, die querschnittlich einen etwa sichelförmigen Bereich 9a aufweist. Wie sich insbesondere aus den Querschnittszeichnungen 1 und 5 ergibt, weist das Verschlußelement 5 einen in die mit 10 bezeichnete Entnahmeöffnung ragenden Topfbodenteil 5a auf, an dessen in der Gebrauchslage nach unten weisenden Außenrand, in Fig. 2 mit 5b bezeichnet, sich der querschnittlich sichelförmige Bereich 9a der Ringlippendichtung 9 anlegt, wie sich dies insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ergibt.To seal the screw cap 1 relative to the container 2 is below an upwardly facing end edge ring 8 by coextrusion an annular lip seal, generally designated 9, integrally formed, which has a cross-section approximately sickle-shaped portion 9a. As is apparent in particular from the cross-sectional drawings 1 and 5, the closure element 5 has a projecting into the designated 10 removal opening pot bottom part 5a, at its in the position of use downwardly facing outer edge, in Fig. 2 denoted by 5b, the cross-section sickle-shaped area 9a of the annular lip seal 9 applies, as this particular Fig. 2 results.

In Fig. 4 ist noch dargestellt, daß beidseitig des Filmscharnieres 4 Stützbänder 11 vorgesehen sind, die die Trennfugenebene zwischen Gewindeelement 3 und Verschlußelement 5 überbrücken.In Fig. 4 is still shown that on both sides of the film hinge 4 support bands 11 are provided, which bridge the joint plane between the threaded element 3 and closure element 5.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die speziell dargestellte Querschnittsform der koextrudierten Ringlippendichtung 9 beschränkt, auch nicht auf Art und Gestaltung des Topfbodenbereiches 5a.The invention is not limited to the cross sectional shape of the coextruded annular lip seal 9, not even the type and design of the cup bottom region 5a.
