Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle with a shoulder and a neck on which a pump can be attached, and with a cap which can be snapped onto the bottle and thereby covers the shoulder and the bottle neck, wherein an actuating handle of the pump protrudes from the top of the cap,
  • the bottle preferably consists of an outer container of a hard, dimensionally stable plastic and of a soft inner bag, which receives the bottle contents, preferably a liquid.
  • the pump is preferably an airless pump which sucks the contents of the container out of the soft inner bag, but without allowing air to enter the soft inner bag for pressure equalization, so that it increasingly contracts as the contents of the container are dispensed.
  • For pressure equalization openings are provided in the outer container.
  • the invention is not limited to such a bottle, but it is also applicable to single-walled containers which are provided with a cap and with a pump.
  • the EP810036A2 discloses a bottle with shoulder and bottleneck, wherein on the bottle a cap is snapped, which covers the shoulder and the bottle neck and which has an upper opening for a sliding handle of the pump.
  • the closure cap has on its inner side in the circumferential direction extending and approximately radially inwardly projecting locking projections, which can be latched in the assembled state in a correspondingly formed locking groove on the container neck.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a bottle of the type considered, in which it is ensured that the cap is not detached from the bottle by operating the pump.
  • the invention provides that the bottleneck at two diametrically opposite peripheral portions undercuts and to offset by about 90 °, also diametrically opposite peripheral portions laterally projecting lugs, which are each provided with at least one circumferentially extending groove, and that inside the cap two spring arms which are latched with molded hooks under the undercuts, and at least one circumferentially extending, circumferential projection or two separate projecting portions are formed, which are latched to the grooves of the approaches of the bottle neck.
  • the arrangement of the grooves and the projection or the projection portions can also be met vice versa, so that the radially projecting lugs of the bottle neck can be provided with circumferentially extending projections which engage in a corresponding groove or groove portions in the inside of the cap, when the cap is snapped onto the bottle.
  • the bottle in the plan has an oval shape, i. is oval in any cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the dimensions of the bottle being able to decrease continuously from the upper and lower edges towards the center, so that the bottle not only has a very pleasing shape but is also comfortable and easy to operate can be safely grasped.
  • the cap also has an oval shape in this case, which also applies to its upper opening and the handle of the pump displaceably guided therein, which protrudes beyond its shaft in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the grip.
  • the lugs are integrally formed on both the bottleneck and the shoulder and extend almost to the edge of the shoulder. It is preferred that the lugs are set back by a wall thickness of the cap.
  • the grooves of the lugs (or reverse arrangement of groove / projection: the projections of the lugs) are preferably formed directly above the shoulder, so that the shoulder forms the lower groove wall.
  • the approaches each extend over a peripheral region of the neck of the bottle of approximately 90 °, whereby a circumferential region of the same order of magnitude is also proposed for the undercuts.
  • the upper edge strip of the bottle is recessed stepwise about the wall thickness of the cap, and that the cap in the snapped condition rests with its peripheral edge on the circumferential step of the bottle also also for secure attachment of the cap contributes to the bottle.
  • the arrangement of the bottle and cap receives a very pleasing, continuous outer contour and is comfortable in the user's hand when operating the pump.
  • the bottle and the cap are made of a plastic such as PP, which also applies to the handle of the pump.
  • the plastic bottle 1 shown in Figures 1 A and 1 B consists of a dimensionally stable outer container and a not visible in the figures inner bag made of a soft, flexible plastic.
  • the outer container has an oval cross-sectional shape, wherein the cross-sectional dimensions decrease from the upper and the lower edge of the outer container to the center so that the outer contours have the arc shape shown in the drawings.
  • the outer container 1 has at its upper edge a stepped recessed edge portion 2, which merges into the shoulder 3 of the container from which a bottleneck 4 extends.
  • the bottleneck 4 has at two diametrically opposite portions, which face the short sides of the container, undercuts 5, each extending by about a quarter of the peripheral portion of the bottle neck 4.
  • At the two other, also diametrically opposite areas are on the bottleneck 4 and on the shoulder 3 laterally projecting projections. 6 formed, which are provided directly above the shoulder 3, each with a groove 7 extending in the longitudinal direction of the projections 6.
  • Figure 1 A shows a side view of the longitudinal side of the container 1 and can be seen that the projections 6 extend along the longitudinal side of the container 1.
  • the shoulder 3 of the container forms practically the lower groove wall of the grooves 7.
  • Figure 3 shows in a partially sectioned view a cap 8 which can be snapped on top of the container 1 with airless pump 9 arranged therein, which is connected to a handle 10.
  • the handle 10 is seated with a lower in the representation of Figure 3 shank portion 11 in an upper opening 1,2 of the cap, in which the shaft 11 is guided slidably.
  • the shaft 11 merges into an actuating section 13, which protrudes above the shaft 11, in particular in a longitudinal direction of the oval cross-sectional shape of the cap 8 and of the bottle 1.
  • Figure 4A shows a cross section through the approximately bell-shaped cap 8, which has a stepped widened edge portion 14 at its lower edge, which surrounds the edge strip 2 of the container 1 in the snapped-on state of the cap 8.
  • the cap 8 has immediately before the gradation 14 on the inside a circumferential annular projection 15 which engages in the grooves 7 of the projections 8 of the bottle neck 4.
  • two diametrically opposed spring arms 16 are integrally formed on the inside of the cap 8, which engage under hooks, inwardly facing projections 17 at their lower ends undercuts 5 of the bottle neck 4 when the cap 8 is snapped onto the bottle 1.
