Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with a method for forming the compound layers in a sealing cover made of preferably metallic material.
  • Such caps also called “caps”, are used to close containers, preferably glass containers, whose upper end section is provided radially on the outside with cams, which are circumferentially limited as screw cams, but each extend obliquely in order to rotate the "caps" into one to be able to implement axial movement and thus to be able to close and remove the container with the described closure lid.
  • the closure lids therefore serve for reclosable use on a container.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing such a lid closure, in particular for manufacturing the compound layer in the edge region of the closure lid, the compound layer sealingly sealing with the front end of the container and having a mechanical closing effect laterally on the upper end section of the container.
  • This area thus has a dual function of sealing and closing, so that it should be referred to as the sealing and sealing zone of the cover (radially outside a cover mirror or panel).
  • the invention also relates to the closure cap produced by the method, which includes the cover mirror and the edge area, referred to as the "panel area” and "edge area". These two areas merge into one another via a transition zone, which is to be referred to as the lid mirror edge area.
  • the invention relates to a molding tool for placing and shaping an introduced compound (as a preform) in the edge region of the lid ⁇ claim 20 ⁇ .
  • closure cover types available for closure covers.
  • One type of closure to be picked up here is the PT closure cap, described in EP-B 844 972 (Taber, White Cap), there in particular in column 1, paragraphs [03], [04], which are included here for explaining PT caps. They are provided with compound in the edge area, which both Closure function, as well as sealing function.
  • An axial section of the compound is used for sealing by means of an axial pressure, the screw cams on the container to be sealed pressing into the compound and causing a mechanical locking which can later, in use, only be released by turning.
  • the "P” stands for axial pressing (P-Closing) and the "T” stands for screwing opening (T-Opening), cf. Claim 14, generic term.
  • sealing caps Two essentially different methods of introducing the compound are used to produce such sealing caps.
  • the lining compound process and the molded compound process which are explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, alternatively also in a mixed form in US Pat. No. 5,686,040 (Taber, White Cap), cf. there abstract.
  • the sealing material is introduced through a nozzle in a circumferential stiff shape, which corresponds to the lining method.
  • stamp shaping is used, which corresponds to the molded compound process.
  • two types of sealing caps can be distinguished, those with a circumferential "channel" in the edge area, which has an essentially flat bottom, cf. see EP-B 844 972, there FIG. 29, and those sealing covers which have a wedge-shaped circumferential channel in the edge region, cf. in addition US-B 5,413,234 (Hekal), there cover sheet, upper figure, and associated abstract.
  • the invention has set itself the task of creating sealing lids with a closing behavior that is identical to current systems, in which the amount of the compound used is to be reduced in order to reduce the costs.
  • current and future requirements are to be met, which involve the closure of containers that are filled with food.
  • a fundamentally new submission process should not be created that entails additional costs, but known processes should be adapted accordingly.
  • the invention therefore intends to work as closely as possible on the prior art in order to make the transition to the new method, new sealing cover and new tool as smooth as possible, but at the same time also to provide the properties of the new cover described above.
  • the two layers of Compounds are preferably two different types of compound ⁇ claim 19, claim 1 ⁇ , the distinction being in a chemical nature or in a physical property.
  • One of the compounds can be inexpensive in nature and its food compatibility does not have to be as pronounced if it is only used radially far outside in the sealing area of the sealing and sealing area.
  • the second compound can be of higher quality, that is, it is burdened with higher costs, but is only used to a limited extent in its radial extent, in an area that seals the front side of the container and potentially comes into contact with the food in its closed state on its radial inner edge.
  • the radially inner compound is improved in terms of food compatibility, but is reduced in quantity, while the radial strength of the compound located further out can be optimized in its mechanical strength without having to solve the property of food compatibility.
  • both compounds are of the same chemical and physical nature, only they are introduced into the edge area of the lid using two different processes in order to then create an interface between them, which can be used to recognize that a Claim 1) manufactured cover ⁇ claim 14 ⁇ was provided with two differently introduced compound layers, even if they consist of the same compound material.
  • the process “molded compound” described at the beginning is used (for the compound lying radially further out), and the lining process (as described at the beginning) for the layer of compound lying radially further inside.
  • the compound on the outer edge region in the case of an axially extending apron, is preferably inflated to a greater extent than the compound lying radially further inward, which makes the front-side seal with the front-side end of the container.
  • the compounds By naming the compounds as the first and second compound ⁇ claim 1 ⁇ , no order is specified in which these compound layers are introduced as layers in the edge region of the sealing cover. It is only intended to express a distinction in that the first compound is introduced by a first method and the second compound by a second method, which two methods were explained. The order of these procedures can be changed. The layer in the apron area can be inserted first. However, it is also possible first to introduce the compound layer lying radially further inwards, which is introduced using the lining method. According to the order of the methods used, there is a corresponding overlap zone in which the two compounds overlap, which is preferably located in the area of the circumferentially provided groove ⁇ claim 14, feature (a) ⁇ .
  • the two methods can also be described in such a way that the radially outer layer does not extend (or not significantly) beyond the inner radial end of the circumferential groove ⁇ claim 14, feature (a) ⁇ .
  • the radially inner compound layer should not extend further radially outward than the radially outer end of the circumferential groove or the "channel" in the cover ⁇ claim 14, feature (b) ⁇ .
  • the two layers can be distinguished in such a way that one layer extends essentially radially and the other layer essentially axially, but both layers have a given thickness, which is provided for their purpose.
  • the essentially radial position is adapted to the sealing of the container at the front.
  • the essentially axial position is provided for the closure zone in order to cooperate with the screw cams of the container.
  • Both layers together form the sealing and sealing zone, which is placed in the edge area, but does not necessarily have to occupy the entire edge area of the sealing lid.
  • the transition zone which extends radially within the circumferential groove.
  • the compound layer lying radially further inside practically does not extend into this area, preferably not at all, so that the least possible contact of this layer with the sealed foodstuff takes place inside the container.
  • the three sub-areas of the sealing and sealing zones described in the edge area of the lid can be oriented in such a way that they are called “Areal”, “Area2” and “Area3".
  • the first zone, “area” is in contact with the contents, so it is located in the intermediate area (transition zone) between the panel and the edge area.
  • the second zone, “Area2”, is the sealing area, which mainly performs the sealing function with the front end of the container.
  • the third zone, "Area3” is used for embedding the thread and ensures the mechanical closure or the hold of the closed lid after it has been closed with an axial press, in order to be opened later by screws.
  • the compound layers introduced with the different insertion methods occupy different geometric sections in the edge area, such as the closure area and the sealing area ⁇ claim 1 ⁇ ; an overlap zone is provided ⁇ claim 9 ⁇ .
  • an overlap zone is provided ⁇ claim 9 ⁇ .
  • the introduction of the compounds through the combined use of molded compound and lining compound serves for the precise alignment of the compound used in each case for its specific purpose at its specific location in the edge region of the sealing cover ⁇ claim 8 ⁇ .
  • the lining process is achieved by injecting a compound that rotates the lid. After the compound has been introduced onto a circumferential path, there is no need for mechanical post-forming by means of a ring stamp ⁇ claim 2 ⁇ . However, there is a rotation of the closure cap during or after insertion, with a displacement effect, the still flowable - just injected - compound being moved radially outward, but only to a limited extent ⁇ claim 2; Claim 14, feature (b) ⁇ . This radial displacement can also start during the injection.
  • the compound preform which is also introduced in the manner of a lining process and is located radially further outside than the above-described lining introduction, is deformed with a stamp which is a ring stamp ⁇ claim 20 ⁇ after the introduction ⁇ claim 3 ⁇ .
  • This second compound is initially placed (when inserting, with a rotation of the closure cover), but then has no rotational deformation, but an axial stamp deformation, which only extends into an area of the sealing and closure zone that at least contains the closure zone of the cover.
  • This is an essentially axially extending deformation, with small amounts of radial deformation, insofar as the circumferential channel of the metallic "shell" (the cover blank) is affected ⁇ claim 15 ⁇ .
  • this compound layer is rotated by a subsequent lining forming
  • the overlapping zone that is formed is then designed such that it points axially, to the frontal closure area of the container, only the second compound is exposed, while the first compound underneath is covered.
  • the second compound geometrically deformed by the molded compound process does not extend into the sealing zone, but remains only in the sealing zone ⁇ claim 3, claim 14, features (a) and (c) ⁇ .
  • the second applied compound also extends into the sealing zone ⁇ claim 4 ⁇ , it is covered there - as previously explained - by the first compound subsequently introduced, which is displaced from the inside radially by rotation of the cover.
  • the displacement of the two compounds after their respective introduction as a circumferentially extending, toroidal compound strand is limited ⁇ claim 5 ⁇ .
  • This limitation can be brought about by an annular lock so that this lock is either in the cover groove ⁇ claim 7, claim 25, claim 26 ⁇ , or is provided by the annular stamping tool ⁇ claim 6 ⁇ , on the front side of which it is as front elevation, such as web, or as a relatively sharp edge on the outer edge is provided.
  • either the stamp or the ring-shaped lock in the circumferential groove of the sealing cover counteracts the radially inward flow movement of the deformed compound from a predetermined point and limits this flow movement ⁇ claim 5 ⁇ . It therefore does not extend any further than into the sealing zone, based on the point in time at which the flow of the second compound caused by the ring stamp ended.
  • This inner limit does not mean that this flow movement should always extend to the inner end, it can also be ended earlier, for example by the edge of the ring die located radially far outwards
  • the adhesion and also the other properties of the double layer result from the use of an additional stamp which also applies a compressive force to the compound layer introduced radially further inwards, the first compound ⁇ claim 10 ⁇ .
  • This pressure can be applied before the second compound is introduced, or afterwards.
  • the axial pressure creates one
  • the second stamp has a different shape than the stamp which is used for deforming displacement of the radially outer compound ⁇ claim 20 ⁇ .
  • the step of rotary displacement by centrifugal force for the compound located further inside can be reduced in strength due to the stamping.
  • the result is a double layer of compound, which is bubble-free, has good adhesion and is formed without jagged, frayed transitions, that is to say with good transitions.
  • This process step in the sense of post-forming supplements the lining process with an additional process step.
  • This process step acts on the still flowable first compound, in order to reduce bubbles or improve adhesion ⁇ claim 12 ⁇ , in each case in a strip area near the outer edge of the compound layer located radially further inwards.
  • the additional stamp permits channel formation on its end face ⁇ claim 13 ⁇ , which is delimited by a radially outer web ⁇ claim 24 ⁇ .
  • a circumferential recess ensures pressed-on condition for the channel formation to take up and radially constrict the compound already applied and displaced by centrifugal force.
  • the compound is pressed on, the adhesion is improved and the conditions for a better separation of surfaces in the overlap zone are created in the area of the smaller, narrower groove.
  • the smaller groove in the larger (wider) circumferential groove has a different task than the same groove in the application process in which the compound lying radially further out is first applied ⁇ claim 7 ⁇ .
  • the smaller ring groove in the larger circumferential groove at least hinders further radial displacement, although it may not prevent it entirely.
  • it has a more or less “disabling” effect on the outward displacement of the still flowable, radially inner compound. It goes without saying that this lock has the consequence that the radially further outward lying compound is applied in a subsequent step and is displaced deforming again by a stamp ⁇ claim 13, claim 20 ⁇ .
  • the extent of the compound in the "area" in the edge of the panel
  • the extent of the compound in the "area" can be greatly reduced or even completely avoided in order to minimize contact with the filling material.
  • Practically only the surface used for sealing is covered by the high-quality compound with a free surface provided for sealing, which is "Area2".
  • the "Area3" for creating the mechanical hold is not or only insignificantly occupied by the high-quality compound.
  • the geometrical position and spatial extent of the two compound layers, which consist of the first or second compound, which are preferably different, are thus specified in a dedicated manner, based on their suitability and purpose ⁇ claim 8 ⁇ . This specification of the geometrical extent is particularly favorable for PT closure lids which require the compound in the apron area of the lid for closure purposes.
  • any shape of the circumferential grooves in the area between the apron and the cover mirror can be used, with a rounded bottom ⁇ claim 18 ⁇ , with a flat bottom ⁇ claim 17 ⁇ , or with an additional bead in the flat bottom.
  • the amount of the high-quality compound to be applied, which must be food-compatible, is limited to the "Area2" area.
  • the "area” is practically free of sealant and the "area3" can be occupied by a lower-quality compound for the purpose of mechanical maintenance.
  • the exact geometry and extent of the higher-quality compound in the "Area2" can be determined by the location of the introduction of the toroidal, circumferential compound preform, the speed of rotation of the closure lid and the amount or mass of the compound initially introduced.
  • the shape and position of the second compound is determined by the shape and geometry of the stamp, which causes the displacement and deformation of this compound after it has been introduced.
  • stamp forming this process is divided into two sections, the introduction of the compound preform and the stamp forming.
  • these two process steps can also overlap in time by rotative introduction and rotational displacement, so that the rotational speed at the same time causes radial displacement.

Abstract

L'objectif de cette invention est de concevoir des couvercles de fermeture présentant un comportement de fermeture analogue à celui de systèmes de fermeture PT courants, et de réduire la quantité de composé utilisé. Il est en outre impératif de satisfaire à des exigences actuelles et futures qui entraînent la fermeture de récipients remplis de denrées alimentaires. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, l'on conçoit un procédé pour former une zone d'étanchéité et de fermeture (10 ; 10V, 10D) comportant un composé (A, B), dans un couvercle de fermeture (capuchon ; 1) constitué d'un matériau sensiblement métallique. Ce procédé fait appel à deux procédés d'insertion successifs pour deux couches de composé, ces procédés permettant d'insérer un premier composé (A) ainsi qu'un deuxième composé (B), différent dudit premier composé. Les deux couches de composé (A, B) s'étendent dans des zones géométriques différentes (zone2, zone3) de la zone de bord (R) du couvercle de fermeture, de façon à former une zone d'étanchéité et de fermeture (10D, 10V).
