Definitions
- the invention relates to a tamper-proof lid for a container, which container has an opening edge surrounding an upper container opening, in particular flared opening edge, with a lid portion substantially covering the upper container opening and a lid edge extending substantially downwards in the direction of the container, which at least in places a locking element engages under the cross-locking element which is irrevocably separated from the lid, in particular together with a lower Randendabterrorism the lid edge for removing the lid from the container.
- Such a cover is from the US-A-5002198 known.
- the corresponding cover part is placed from above on the opening edge and covers the container opening. With this cover part of the lid edge is connected, which extends from the lid part vertically downwards.
- the lid edge is substantially tangent to the rolled-up or flanged container edge and from its free end is a locking element, which ends below the opening edge and this engages below substantially.
- a part of the lid edge and in particular a lower edge end portion is separated together with the locking element. Then the lid can be removed from the container. Due to the irrevocable separation of Randendabites with locking element from the rest of the lid is essentially ensured that even when still or re-attached lid is determined whether this has already been removed by another user or at least prepared for losing weight. This makes it possible to detect any manipulation or attempt to break up or open the container.
- Such a cover can prevent, for example, that the corresponding container is opened, the content influenced in some way or partially removed and then the container is closed again, without the opening of the container is visible from the outside.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a tamper-proof cover of the type mentioned in that this secured in a structurally simple manner against any manipulation of the locking element for removing the lid and on the other hand, the closure function of the lid is guaranteed safe.
- the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the cover edge extends from the cover part substantially obliquely downwards and outwards and the locking element is designed as a peripheral circumferential edge of the lid locking edge.
- peripheral locking edge lacks possibilities to intervene laterally between the locking edge and the obliquely extending edge of the cover and, for example, thereby releasing the locking edge from engagement below the edge of the container.
- the corresponding locking edge can not be brought into a substantially vertical arrangement without simultaneous manipulation of the lid edge in order to optionally remove the lid from the container. Instead, is held by the oblique arrangement of the lid edge of the corresponding locking edge even when resting against the lid edge from the inside in a certain angle, so that a passing past the opening edge for removing the lid without visible traces is almost impossible.
- the tamper resistance of the lid according to the invention is increased in a simple manner.
- the placement of the lid on the container by the distribution of elasticity on the lid edge and locking edge lighter, without thereby tamper resistance or the tightness of the lid is reduced.
- the corresponding cover part has different shapes.
- the geometric shape of the cover part along the opening edge substantially corresponds to the shape of the container opening.
- the cover part is arched, bent or otherwise deformed in the direction of the interior of the container, for example, or is also correspondingly deformed away from the container.
- a simple lid part which is also easy to produce, can be essentially flat. This is then on the edge of the container and covers the entire container opening to secure it against external influences and at the same time to seal the container interior.
- the lid part may have a circumferentially circumferential and substantially vertically upwardly projecting edge flange.
- the lid edge can be connected directly to the flat lid part or to the edge flange.
- a simple example of a direct connection to the edge flange can be seen therein when the lid edge has a substantially inverted U-shaped upper Having edge end portion, wherein the edge flange is inserted into the U-opening and secured there.
- the depth of the U-opening may correspond substantially to the vertical length of the edge flange.
- the edge flange is encompassed on both sides by the corresponding U-legs of the upper edge end portion and can be attached to these, for example, by gluing, heat sealing or otherwise.
- the lid edge between the upper Randendabites and its lower end at least an upper and a lower edge portion which extend obliquely outward away from the lid part and which by a essentially vertical intermediate edge portion are connected.
- This intermediate edge portion can in particular be used to bear against the opening edge from the outside, so that the lid is securely placed on the container and held there even in irrevocably separated lower Randendabites.
- the already mentioned lower edge end portion may in this context be designed so that it extends substantially vertically between the lower edge portion and the lower end of the lid edge.
- the gap between the lower edge end portion and the container wall is smaller than in a skewed course of this lower edge end portion, so that there is less space for possible manipulations.
- the substantially vertical course of the intermediate edge section and the lower edge end section can also be replaced by a certain oblique course of these sections, these sections running obliquely outwards at a smaller angle of inclination than the upper and lower edge sections.
- a stabilization of the lower edge end portion and thus also a stabilization of the locking edge can result from the fact that at least the lower edge end portion is formed in two layers with outer and inner layer. As a result, this lower edge end section has increased rigidity, which on the one hand makes it more difficult to manipulate it to remove the cover and, on the other hand, reinforces the locking edge.
- the locking edge may be formed as an extension of the inner layer. He simply extends in extension of the inner layer in the direction of the container to engage under the corresponding opening edge.
- the locking edge can protrude directly as an extension of the inner layer in the region of the lower edge end portion.
- this inner layer at least partially extends into the lower edge portion and the corresponding angle of inclination of this edge portion for deflecting the inner layer and thus the locking edge towards the container wall is used.
- the inclination angle of the lower edge portion can also be continued in the locking edge, so that it extends obliquely upwards in the direction of the container wall with the lid attached to the container and engages under the opening edge.
- the elasticity for deflecting the lid edge and the locking edge and thus for placing the lid on the container is divided between lid edge and locking edge.
- the locking edge is elastically deflected radially outward. This concerns at least the part of the locking edge projecting from the lower edge section or lower edge end section.
- the locking edge may have at its free end a substantially parallel to the container wall with the lid attached cutting edge.
- This Thomasendkante can also rest directly on the container wall with attached lid.
- a tear handle can protrude from the edge of the lid.
- the Aufr possesshandhabe example can protrude approximately perpendicularly from the edge of the lid so that it can be easily grasped laterally from the lid edge and then used to separate the corresponding part of the lid.
- the tear handle extending in extension of the lid edge at its lower end.
- a substantially vertical tear-open aid can be formed in the lid edge in the region of the tear handle and in particular on its front edge in the tearing direction. If the tear-handle is then grasped and moved in the tear-open direction, tearing of the lid edge along the vertical tear-open aid takes place first, followed by a further separation of the corresponding part of the lid edge substantially in the circumferential direction.
- Such a tear-open can be designed in different ways. In general, it is designed as a material weakening line.
- a material weakening line may be a material thinning, a perforation or the like.
- the Randabr detailed beautiful can be similar to the Aufr regarding Vietnamese formed as a material weakening line.
- the Randabrmonyiere can with attached on the container lid closer to the lower end of the Cover edge may be arranged as the opening edge. This ensures that at least as much of the lid edge remains after tearing off the corresponding part, that it extends substantially over the opening edge down and allows a re-placement of the lid and secure holding the lid on the container is.
- the lid can be made entirely or even partially of a plastic material. This may be at least partially transparent or translucent, which may apply in particular to the cover part. As a result, the interior of the container is visible.
- An easy-to-produce and easy-to-recycle lid may result in that the lid is formed essentially of one or more layers of paper. In addition, such a paper layer is easily printable for promotional purposes or to indicate the contents of the cup.
- a fluid-tight plastic film can be applied to its underside.
- a plastic film is additionally prevented, for example, in the case of a liquid in the container, the paper layer the lid and in particular the lid part softened by the liquid and optionally optically unfavorably influenced.
- the lid or one of its parts consists not only of a paper layer, but of interconnected and in particular laminated paper layers. It has already been pointed out that at least in the region of the lower edge end section there is a two-layered structure, wherein the locking edge is formed by the inner layer. Again, the appropriate layer may be a paper layer.
- the lid In order to be able to store the lid in a simple manner for closing the containers or after their production, the lid can be stackable and unstackable.
- Such stackability and final stackability can be achieved, for example, by virtue of an inner diameter of the lid edge being larger than an outer diameter of the upper edge end portion, at least at its lower end.
- a corresponding relation between inner diameter and outer diameter can also be present for the lower edge end section, possibly in the region of the lower edge section, whereby the stackability of the cover is improved.
- the locking edge may be formed as a stack stop element, which rests in stacked lids from the outside and in particular at the top of the upper edge end.
- FIG. 1 shows a side, partially sectioned view of an embodiment of a lid 1 according to the invention on a cup-shaped container. 2
- the container 2 has an upper container opening 3, see also the other figures, which is surrounded by an outwardly flared opening edge 4. At its lower end, a bottom part is inserted in the container 2 and held there in a conventional manner by an inwardly bent end portion of a container wall 24 and sealed.
- the lid 1 is placed at the top of the container 2, which comprises a substantially flat cover part 5, which abuts sealingly on the opening edge 4 from above.
- the Lid 1 also has a lid edge 6 which extends obliquely downwards and outwards from the lid part 5.
- the lid edge 6 extends along the opening edge 4 in the circumferential direction 9 around the container.
- a tear handle 27 is arranged on the lid edge 6 is in particular at a lower end 14, see also FIG. 2 . This is graspable by a user and movable along a tearing direction 29 substantially in the circumferential direction 9 around the container 2, see also FIGS. 6a, 6b and 7 ,
- a tear-open aid 30 is formed as a material weakening line 31 in the lid edge 6 , This extends substantially vertically upward in the direction of the opening edge 4.
- Perpendicular to the Aufr regarding Anlagen 30 extends in the circumferential direction 9 and also in the tear 29 a Randabr employ Anlagen 32. This is also designed as a material weakening line.
- the lid By separating the corresponding part of the lid edge for removing the lid 1, one obtains an indication that container 2 with lid 1 is already in use or at least first attempts have been made to remove the lid 1 from the container 2. As a result, the lid is tamper-proof, since this attempt to open can not be undone and is always determined by another user.
- FIG. 2 is a detail "X" off FIG. 1 shown enlarged.
- Like parts are indicated by like reference characters throughout the figures, and are sometimes mentioned only in connection with a figure.
- the container 2 has at the upper end of its container wall 24 an outwardly flared opening edge 4.
- cover part 5 of the lid 1 On the upper side is cover part 5 of the lid 1 with its bottom 33.
- cover part 5 has a substantially vertically upwardly projecting edge flange 11.
- a fluid-tight plastic film 34 is applied to the lid part 5.
- the cover part 5 as well as the remaining part of the lid 1 is otherwise formed from one or more paper layers 38. Instead of a paper layer, it is also possible to use two paper layers connected to each other in particular by lamination, corresponding to one or more cardboard layers and the like.
- a lid edge 6 of the lid 1 is connected via its edge flange 11. This cover edge 6 extends obliquely downwards and outwards from the cover part 5.
- the lid edge 6 has an upper edge end portion 12. This is essentially inverted U-shaped. In a corresponding U-opening 13 of the edge flange 11 is inserted and fastened there between the corresponding U-legs.
- the lid edge 6 then has, at the upper edge end section 12, an upper edge section 15, an intermediate edge section 17, a lower edge section 16 and a lower edge end section 8.
- Upper and lower edge portions 15, 16 extend at an inclination angle outward relative to the container 2.
- Intermediate edge portion 17 and lower edge end portion 8 are inclined less towards the outside and can also be substantially vertical, see FIGS. 7a to 7 ,
- FIG. 3 The corresponding angles of inclination of upper edge section 15, intermediate edge section 17, lower edge section 16 and lower edge end section 8 are shown in FIG FIG. 3 shown there, the reference numerals 18, 19, 20 and 21st
- the inclination angles 20 and 21 for upper and lower edge portions 15, 16 there is the possibility that these are the same, see also FIGS. 4a to 7 as well as the inclination angles 18, 19 of intermediate edge portion 17 and lower edge end portion 8.
- the inclination angles 20, 21 are different, wherein in particular the inclination angle 21 may be greater than the inclination angle 20.
- the edge tear-off aid 32 can be seen below the opening edge 4. This is arranged at a smaller distance from the lower end 14 of the lid edge 6, as a bottom of the opening edge 4. This ensures that even when separated along the Randabr regarding Anlagen 32 part of the lid edge 6 still placing the lid 1 on the container 2 and a corresponding Holding the lid on the opening edge 4 by its investment in the corresponding inner side of the lid edge 6 is possible.
- the lower edge end portion 8 is substantially two-layered of an outer layer 22 and an inner layer 23, see also FIG. 3 built up. This two-layer structure results from folding or bending an extension of the outer layer as an inner layer on the inner side of the outer layer and corresponding joining of both layers at least in the region of the lower edge end section 8. Otherwise, the inner layer 23 is a continuation of the outer layer 22.
- the inner layer 23 extends into the lower edge portion 16 with an angle of inclination 21 and extends correspondingly obliquely inwards and upwards in the direction of the cover part 5.
- the inner layer extends substantially subsequent to the lower edge portion 16 separated from the remaining lid edge 6 in the direction of the container wall 24 and forms the locking edge 10 as a locking element 7.
- the locking edge 10 extends around the entire container 2 in the circumferential direction. 9
- a free end of the locking edge 10 engages under the opening edge 4 and is located near an outer side of the container wall 24 when placed on the container 2 lid 1 or possibly also with the container wall in Appendix.
- the attachment of the free end 25, see also FIG. 3 , the locking edge 10 on the outside of the container wall 24 can be made in such a way that after appropriate placement of the lid 1 on the container 2, the free end 25 is further deflected by the system on the container wall 24 in the direction of the opening edge 4 to the ManipulierSystem of the lid 1 to increase. In this connection, the deflection can take place so far that the free end substantially at least partially engages in a gap 39 between the opening edge 4 and the container wall 24.
- the lid edge 6 When placing the lid 1 on the container 2, the lid edge 6 at least with lower edge end portion 8, lower edge portion 16 and intermediate edge portion 17 and the locking edge 10 elastically radially outwardly expandable to be guided past the opening edge 4 can. Once the free end 25 reaches the bottom of the opening edge 4, it is pressed due to the elasticity of the lid edge 6 and locking edge 10 in the direction of the container wall 24 and in particular in the gap opening 39 between the flanged opening edge 4 and the container wall 24.
- FIGS. 4a to 4c Various steps are shown when placing a corresponding cover 1 on a container 2. In these steps, in particular the deflection of the locking edge can be seen.
- FIGS. 4a to c a structuring of the lid 1 on its outer side in the region of the upper edge end portion 12 recognizable.
- This structuring is formed by a plurality of recesses or elevations arranged in the circumferential direction 9.
- FIG. 3 two superimposed lid 2 are shown, which are stacked.
- an inner diameter 35 from the lower edge end section 8 is greater than an outer diameter 36 of the upper edge end section 12.
- the two covers 2 are at least as far stackable that the upper edge end portion 12 of a lower lid to the bottom of the locking edge 10, see also FIG. 5 , is inserted in the upper lid.
- the locking edge 10 forms at least in the embodiment FIG. 3 a stack stop element 37, which rests from above and substantially outside on the upper edge end portion 8 of the lower lid 2.
- FIG. 5 run lower edge end portion 8 and upper edge end portion 12 is substantially vertical, so that the stacked lid are accurately arranged one above the other and inserting the lower lid in the upper lid until approximately to rest the lower end 14 of the upper lid with the upper edge portion 15.
- FIGS. 6a and b and 7 Further embodiments of a tear handle 27 are shown.
- FIG. 6b is the separable part of the lid edge 6 at least partially already solved.
- the tear handle 27 is substantially not formed as a separate part of the lid edge 6, but is formed by an adjacent to the tear line 30 arranged part of the lid edge 6.
- the lid edge 6 and according to the locking edge 10 a placement of the lid 1 on the container 2 is possible.
- the container 2 in the region of the opening edge 4 or the container wall 24 is at least partially elastic, so that this can deform elastically when placing the lid.
- FIGS. 4a to 7 is another difference that there the cover part 5 extends substantially to the lower end of the upper edge portion 15 radially outwardly and terminates approximately to the outer contour of the opening edge 4. This results in a better sealing of the container 2 by the cover part 5.
- a smaller gap between the lid edge 6 and opening edge 4 remains, see for example FIG. 2 compared to Figure 4c ,
- FIGS. 4a to 7 is shown in particular as the free end 25 of the locking edge 10 engages in the gap opening 39 between the container wall and the opening edge 4.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen manipulationssicheren Deckel für einen Behälter, welcher Behälter einen um eine obere Behälteröffnung umlaufenden, insbesondere umgebördelten Öffnungsrand aufweist, mit einem die obere Behälteröffnung im Wesentlichen abdeckenden Deckelteil und einem vom Deckelteil im Wesentlichen nach unten in Richtung Behälter verlaufenden Deckelrand, welcher zumindest stellenweise ein den Öffnungsrand untergreifendes Verriegelungselement aufweist, das vom Deckel insbesondere zusammen mit einem unteren Randendabschnitt des Deckelrandes zum Abnehmen des Deckels vom Behälter unwiderruflich abtrennbar ist.The invention relates to a tamper-proof lid for a container, which container has an opening edge surrounding an upper container opening, in particular flared opening edge, with a lid portion substantially covering the upper container opening and a lid edge extending substantially downwards in the direction of the container, which at least in places a locking element engages under the cross-locking element which is irrevocably separated from the lid, in particular together with a lower Randendabschnitt the lid edge for removing the lid from the container.
Ein solcher Deckel ist aus der
Um den Deckel vom Behälter manipulationssicher bzw. aufbruchsicher zu lösen, wird ein Teil des Deckelrandes und insbesondere ein unterer Randendabschnitt zusammen mit dem Verriegelungselement abgetrennt. Danach kann der Deckel vom Behälter abgenommen werden. Durch das unwiderrufliche Trennen von Randendabschnitt mit Verriegelungselement vom übrigen Deckel ist im Wesentlichen gewährleistet, dass auch bei noch oder wieder aufgesetztem Deckel feststellbar ist, ob dieser durch einen anderen Benutzer bereits abgenommen oder zumindest zum Abnehmen vorbereitet wurde. Dies ermöglicht, jegliche Manipulation oder jeglichen Versuch zum Aufbrechen bzw. Öffnen des Behälters festzustellen. Ein solcher Deckel kann beispielsweise verhindern, dass der entsprechende Behälter geöffnet, der Inhalt in irgend einer Weise beeinflusst oder auch teilweise entnommen und anschließend der Behälter wieder verschlossen wird, ohne dass das Öffnen des Behälters von außen erkennbar ist.In order to solve the cover from the container tamper-proof or secure against breakage, a part of the lid edge and in particular a lower edge end portion is separated together with the locking element. Then the lid can be removed from the container. Due to the irrevocable separation of Randendabschnitt with locking element from the rest of the lid is essentially ensured that even when still or re-attached lid is determined whether this has already been removed by another user or at least prepared for losing weight. This makes it possible to detect any manipulation or attempt to break up or open the container. Such a cover can prevent, for example, that the corresponding container is opened, the content influenced in some way or partially removed and then the container is closed again, without the opening of the container is visible from the outside.
Bei dem vorbekannten Deckel besteht allerdings die Möglichkeit, dass eine Manipulation am Verriegelungselement stattfindet, wodurch dieses soweit elastisch radial nach außen auslenkbar ist, dass der Behälterrand nicht mehr untergriffen und der Deckel auch ohne unwiderrufliches Trennen des unteren Randendabschnitts vom Behälter gelöst werden kann. Weiterhin ist der vertikal verlaufende Deckelrand relativ wenig elastisch auslenkbar, so dass beim Aufsetzen des Deckels auf den Behälter das Verriegelungselement über eine entsprechend hohe Elastizität verfügen muss, damit es im Bereich des nach außen umgerollten Öffnungsrandes ausreichend radial nach außen auslenkbar ist. Diese relativ große Elastizität des Verriegelungselements erleichtert eine entsprechende Manipulation zum Abnehmen des Deckels, indem aufgrund dieser relativ hohen Eigenelastizität des Verriegelungselements dieses leichter nach außen auslenkbar und dann der Deckel vom Behälter abnehmbar ist.In the prior art lid, however, there is the possibility that a manipulation takes place on the locking element, whereby this is so far elastically deflected radially outward that the container edge is no longer under attack and the lid can be solved without irrevocable separation of the lower Randendabschnitts from the container. Furthermore, the vertically extending edge of the cover is deflected relatively little elastic, so that when placing the lid on the container, the locking element must have a correspondingly high elasticity, so that it is sufficiently radially outwardly deflected in the region of the outwardly rolled opening edge. This relatively large elasticity of the locking element facilitates a corresponding manipulation for removing the lid, because this relatively high inherent elasticity of the locking element, this easier to deflect outward and then the lid from the container is removable.
Ferner offenbart
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen manipulationssicheren Deckel der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dieser in konstruktiv einfacher Weise gegen eventuelle Manipulationen des Verriegelungselements zum Abnehmen des Deckels gesichert und andererseits die Verschlussfunktion des Deckels sicher gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a tamper-proof cover of the type mentioned in that this secured in a structurally simple manner against any manipulation of the locking element for removing the lid and on the other hand, the closure function of the lid is guaranteed safe.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of
Die Erfindung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass der Deckelrand vom Deckelteil im Wesentlichen schräg nach unten und außen verläuft und das Verriegelungselement als in Umfangsrichtung des Deckels umlaufender Verriegelungsrand ausgebildet ist.The invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the cover edge extends from the cover part substantially obliquely downwards and outwards and the locking element is designed as a peripheral circumferential edge of the lid locking edge.
Durch die Verwendung eines umlaufenden Verriegelungsrandes fehlen Möglichkeiten seitlich zwischen Verriegelungsrand und dem schräg verlaufenden Deckelrand einzugreifen und beispielsweise dadurch den Verriegelungsrand aus dem Eingriff unterhalb des Behälterrandes zu lösen. Durch das Verlaufen des Deckelrandes schräg nach unten und außen ist dieser beim Aufsetzen des Deckels ebenfalls elastisch auslenkbar, so dass beim Aufsetzen des Deckels sowohl Verriegelungsrand als auch Deckelrand elastisch ausgelenkt werden und damit die Elastizität im Wesentlichen nicht nur im Bereich des Verriegelungselements zu finden ist.The use of a peripheral locking edge lacks possibilities to intervene laterally between the locking edge and the obliquely extending edge of the cover and, for example, thereby releasing the locking edge from engagement below the edge of the container. By running the lid edge obliquely downwards and outwards this is also elastically deflected when placing the lid, so that both elastically deflected when placing the lid both locking edge and lid edge and thus the elasticity is not only to be found in the region of the locking element.
Außerdem kann bei dem schräg verlaufenden Deckelrand der entsprechende Verriegelungsrand nicht ohne gleichzeitige Manipulation des Deckelrandes in eine im Wesentlichen vertikale Anordnung gebracht werden, um den Deckel gegebenenfalls vom Behälter abzunehmen. Statt dessen wird durch die schräge Anordnung des Deckelrandes der entsprechende Verriegelungsrand selbst bei Anlage an den Deckelrand von innen in einer gewissen Schräglage gehalten, so dass ein Vorbeischieben am Öffnungsrand zum Abnehmen des Deckels ohne sichtbare Spuren nahezu unmöglich ist.In addition, in the obliquely extending edge of the lid, the corresponding locking edge can not be brought into a substantially vertical arrangement without simultaneous manipulation of the lid edge in order to optionally remove the lid from the container. Instead, is held by the oblique arrangement of the lid edge of the corresponding locking edge even when resting against the lid edge from the inside in a certain angle, so that a passing past the opening edge for removing the lid without visible traces is almost impossible.
Dadurch ist die Manipulationssicherheit des erfindungsgemäßen Deckels in einfacher Weise erhöht. Gleichzeitig wird das Aufsetzen des Deckels auf den Behälter durch die Verteilung der Elastizitäten auf Deckelrand und Verriegelungsrand leichter, ohne dass dadurch die Manipulationssicherheit oder die Dichtigkeit des Deckels vermindert wird.As a result, the tamper resistance of the lid according to the invention is increased in a simple manner. At the same time the placement of the lid on the container by the distribution of elasticity on the lid edge and locking edge lighter, without thereby tamper resistance or the tightness of the lid is reduced.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass das entsprechende Deckelteil verschiedene Formen aufweist. Einerseits entspricht die geometrische Form des Deckelteils entlang des Öffnungsrandes im Wesentlichen der Form der Behälteröffnung. Andererseits besteht die Möglichkeit, dass außerhalb des Öffnungsrandes das Deckelteil beispielsweise in Richtung zum Inneren des Behälters gewölbt, geknickt oder in anderer Weise verformt ist, oder auch vom Behälter weg entsprechend verformt ist. Ein einfaches Deckelteil, dass ebenfalls einfach herstellbar ist, kann im Wesentlichen eben sein. Dieses liegt dann auf dem Behälterrand auf und überdeckt die gesamte Behälteröffnung, um diese gegen äußere Einflüsse zu sichern und gleichzeitig das Behälterinnere abzudichten.There is the possibility that the corresponding cover part has different shapes. On the one hand, the geometric shape of the cover part along the opening edge substantially corresponds to the shape of the container opening. On the other hand, there is the possibility that, outside the opening edge, the cover part is arched, bent or otherwise deformed in the direction of the interior of the container, for example, or is also correspondingly deformed away from the container. A simple lid part, which is also easy to produce, can be essentially flat. This is then on the edge of the container and covers the entire container opening to secure it against external influences and at the same time to seal the container interior.
Um beispielsweise ein Handhaben des Deckels zum Abnehmen vom Behälter zu vereinfachen, kann das Deckelteil einen in Umfangsrichtung umlaufenden und im Wesentlichen vertikal nach oben abstehenden Randflansch aufweisen.For example, in order to simplify handling of the lid for removal from the container, the lid part may have a circumferentially circumferential and substantially vertically upwardly projecting edge flange.
Der Deckelrand kann direkt mit dem ebenen Deckelteil oder auch mit dem Randflansch verbunden sein.The lid edge can be connected directly to the flat lid part or to the edge flange.
Ein einfaches Beispiel für eine direkte Verbindung mit dem Randflansch kann darin gesehen werden, wenn der Deckelrand einen im Wesentlichen umgekehrt U-förmigen oberen Randendabschnitt aufweist, wobei der Randflansch in die U-Öffnung eingesteckt und dort befestigt ist. Die Tiefe der U-Öffnung kann im Wesentlichen der vertikalen Länge des Randflansches entsprechen. Auf diese Weise wird der Randflansch beidseitig durch die entsprechenden U-Schenkel des oberen Randendabschnitts umgriffen und kann mit diesen beispielsweise durch Verkleben, Heißversiegeln oder in anderer Weise befestigt werden.A simple example of a direct connection to the edge flange can be seen therein when the lid edge has a substantially inverted U-shaped upper Having edge end portion, wherein the edge flange is inserted into the U-opening and secured there. The depth of the U-opening may correspond substantially to the vertical length of the edge flange. In this way, the edge flange is encompassed on both sides by the corresponding U-legs of the upper edge end portion and can be attached to these, for example, by gluing, heat sealing or otherwise.
Um allerdings das Aufsetzen und gleichzeitig das Abdichten durch den Deckelrand zu vereinfachen bzw. zu verbessern, weist der Deckelrand zwischen oberem Randendabschnitt und seinem unteren Ende zumindest einen oberen und einen unteren Randabschnitt auf, welche jeweils schräg nach außen weg vom Deckelteil verlaufen und welche durch einen im Wesentlichen vertikalen Zwischenrandabschnitt verbunden sind. Dieser Zwischenrandabschnitt kann insbesondere zur Anlage an den Öffnungsrand von außen dienen, so dass der Deckel selbst bei unwiderruflich abgetrenntem unteren Randendabschnitt sicher auf den Behälter aufsetzbar und dort gehalten ist.However, in order to simplify and improve the placement and at the same time the sealing by the lid edge, the lid edge between the upper Randendabschnitt and its lower end at least an upper and a lower edge portion which extend obliquely outward away from the lid part and which by a essentially vertical intermediate edge portion are connected. This intermediate edge portion can in particular be used to bear against the opening edge from the outside, so that the lid is securely placed on the container and held there even in irrevocably separated lower Randendabschnitt.
Durch diesen im Wesentlichen stufenartig schrägen Verlauf des Deckelrandes ergibt sich ein optisch vorteilhaftes Erscheinungsbild für den Deckel und der Deckel ist leichter ergreifbar und auf den Behälter aufsetzbar.By this substantially stepwise oblique course of the lid edge results in a visually advantageous appearance for the lid and the lid is easier to grasp and placed on the container.
Der bereits erwähnte untere Randendabschnitt kann in diesem Zusammenhang so ausgebildet sein, dass er zwischen unterem Randabschnitt und unterem Ende des Deckelrandes im Wesentlichen vertikal verläuft. Dadurch ist der Zwischenraum zwischen unterem Randendabschnitt und Behälterwand kleiner als bei einem Schrägverlauf dieses unteren Randendabschnitts, so dass weniger Platz für mögliche Manipulationen ist.The already mentioned lower edge end portion may in this context be designed so that it extends substantially vertically between the lower edge portion and the lower end of the lid edge. As a result, the gap between the lower edge end portion and the container wall is smaller than in a skewed course of this lower edge end portion, so that there is less space for possible manipulations.
Der im Wesentlichen vertikale Verlauf von Zwischenrandabschnitt und unterem Randendabschnitt kann auch durch einen gewissen Schrägverlauf dieser Abschnitte ersetzt werden, wobei diese Abschnitte unter einem geringeren Neigungswinkel als oberer und unterer Randabschnitt schräg nach außen verlaufen.The substantially vertical course of the intermediate edge section and the lower edge end section can also be replaced by a certain oblique course of these sections, these sections running obliquely outwards at a smaller angle of inclination than the upper and lower edge sections.
Für das optische Erscheinungsbild und für die Herstellung des Deckels ist es weiterhin als vorteilhaft zu erachten, wenn die Neigungswinkel von oberem und unterem Randabschnitt und/oder vom Zwischen- und unterem Randendabschnitt jeweils gleich sind.For the visual appearance and for the production of the lid, it is also to be considered advantageous if the inclination angles of the upper and lower edge portion and / or the intermediate and lower edge end portion are the same.
Eine Stabilisierung des unteren Randendabschnitts und damit ebenfalls eine Stabilisierung des Verriegelungsrandes kann sich dadurch ergeben, dass zumindest der untere Randendabschnitt zweischichtig mit äußerer und innerer Schicht ausgebildet ist. Dadurch weist dieser untere Randendabschnitt eine erhöhte Steifigkeit auf, die einerseits dessen Manipulation zum Abnehmen des Deckels erschwert und andererseits den Verriegelungsrand verstärkt.A stabilization of the lower edge end portion and thus also a stabilization of the locking edge can result from the fact that at least the lower edge end portion is formed in two layers with outer and inner layer. As a result, this lower edge end section has increased rigidity, which on the one hand makes it more difficult to manipulate it to remove the cover and, on the other hand, reinforces the locking edge.
Bei einem einfachen Ausfürhungsbeispiel kann der Verriegelungsrand als Verlängerung der inneren Schicht ausgebildet sein. Dabei erstreckt er sich einfach in Verlängerung der inneren Schicht in Richtung Behälter, um den entsprechenden Öffnungsrand zu untergreifen.In a simple embodiment, the locking edge may be formed as an extension of the inner layer. He simply extends in extension of the inner layer in the direction of the container to engage under the corresponding opening edge.
Der Verriegelungsrand kann direkt als Verlängerung der inneren Schicht im Bereich des unteren Randendabschnitts abstehen. Es besteht allerdings auch die Möglichkeit, dass sich diese innere Schicht zumindest teilweise bis in den unteren Randabschnitt erstreckt und der entsprechende Neigungswinkel dieses Randabschnitts zur Umlenkung der inneren Schicht und damit des Verriegelungsrandes in Richtung Behälterwand dient.The locking edge can protrude directly as an extension of the inner layer in the region of the lower edge end portion. However, there is also the possibility that this inner layer at least partially extends into the lower edge portion and the corresponding angle of inclination of this edge portion for deflecting the inner layer and thus the locking edge towards the container wall is used.
Dabei kann der Neigungswinkel des unteren Randabschnitts ebenfalls im Verriegelungsrand fortgesetzt werden, so dass sich dieser bei auf dem Behälter aufgesetztem Deckel schräg nach oben in Richtung Behälterwand erstreckt und den Öffnungsrand untergreift.In this case, the inclination angle of the lower edge portion can also be continued in the locking edge, so that it extends obliquely upwards in the direction of the container wall with the lid attached to the container and engages under the opening edge.
Es wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass erfindungsgemäß die Elastizität zum Auslenken des Deckelrandes und des Verriegelungsrandes und damit zum Aufsetzen des Deckels auf den Behälter auf Deckelrand und Verriegelungsrand aufgeteilt ist. Gerade beim Aufsetzen auf den Behälter ist es dabei von Vorteil, wenn der Verriegelungsrand elastisch radial nach außen auslenkbar ist. Dies betrifft zumindest den vom unteren Randabschnitt bzw. unteren Randendabschnitt abstehenden Teil des Verriegelungsrandes.It has already been pointed out that, according to the invention, the elasticity for deflecting the lid edge and the locking edge and thus for placing the lid on the container is divided between lid edge and locking edge. Especially when placing on the container, it is advantageous if the locking edge is elastically deflected radially outward. This concerns at least the part of the locking edge projecting from the lower edge section or lower edge end section.
Um einen möglichst geringen Zwischenraum zwischen freiem Ende des Verriegelungsrandes und einer Behälterwand zu gewährleisten und gleichzeitig ein Manipulieren des Verriegelungsrandes zu erschweren, kann der Verriegelungsrand an seinem freien Ende eine im Wesentlichen parallel zur Behälterwand bei aufgesetztem Deckel verlaufende Schnittendkante aufweisen. Diese Schnittendkante kann auch direkt an der Behälterwand bei aufgesetztem Deckel anliegen. Durch den entsprechenden Verlauf der Schnittendkante wird ein Aufspreizen und damit Vorbeiführen des freien Endes des Verriegelungsrandes am Öffnungsrand erschwert.In order to ensure the smallest possible space between the free end of the locking edge and a container wall and at the same time to make it difficult to manipulate the locking edge, the locking edge may have at its free end a substantially parallel to the container wall with the lid attached cutting edge. This Schnittendkante can also rest directly on the container wall with attached lid. By the corresponding course of the cutting edge, a spreading and thus passing the free end of the locking edge is made more difficult at the opening edge.
Zum Öffnen des Deckels ist die unwiderrufliche Abtrennung des unteren Randendabschnitts und des Verriegelungsrandes vom übrigen Deckel notwendig. Um dies in einfacher Weise durchführen zu können, kann eine Aufreißhandhabe vom Deckelrand abstehen. Es besteht ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, dass mehr als eine Aufreißhandhabe angeordnet ist. Die Aufreißhandhabe kann beispielsweise in etwa senkrecht vom Deckelrand abstehen, so dass sie einfach seitlich vom Deckelrand ergreifbar und dann zur Abtrennung des entsprechenden Teils des Deckels einsetzbar ist. Es besteht ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, dass sich die Aufreißhandhabe in Verlängerung des Deckelrandes an seinem unteren Ende erstreckt.To open the lid, the irrevocable separation of the lower edge end portion and the locking edge from the rest of the lid is necessary. To be able to carry out this in a simple manner, a tear handle can protrude from the edge of the lid. There is also the possibility that more than one rupture handle is arranged. The Aufreißhandhabe example, can protrude approximately perpendicularly from the edge of the lid so that it can be easily grasped laterally from the lid edge and then used to separate the corresponding part of the lid. There is also the possibility that the tear handle extending in extension of the lid edge at its lower end.
Um durch die Aufreißhandhabe ein Einreißen in den unteren Randendabschnitt in sicherer und kontrollierter Weise zu ermöglichen, kann im Bereich der Aufreißhandhabe und insbesondere an ihrer in Aufreißrichtung vorderen Kante eine im Wesentlichen vertikale Aufreißhilfe im Deckelrand ausgebildet sein. Wird die Aufreißhandhabe dann ergriffen und in Aufreißrichtung bewegt, erfolgt zuerst ein Einreißen des Deckelrandes entlang der vertikalen Aufreißhilfe und anschließend eine weitere Abtrennung des entsprechenden Teils des Deckelrandes im Wesentlichen in Umfangsrichtung.In order to allow tearing into the lower edge end section in a secure and controlled manner by the tear-open handle, a substantially vertical tear-open aid can be formed in the lid edge in the region of the tear handle and in particular on its front edge in the tearing direction. If the tear-handle is then grasped and moved in the tear-open direction, tearing of the lid edge along the vertical tear-open aid takes place first, followed by a further separation of the corresponding part of the lid edge substantially in the circumferential direction.
Eine solche Aufreißhilfe kann in unterschiedlicher Weise ausgebildet sein. Allgemein ist sie als Materialschwächungslinie ausgebildet. Eine solche Materialschwächungslinie kann eine Materialverdünnung, eine Perforation oder dergleichen sein.Such a tear-open can be designed in different ways. In general, it is designed as a material weakening line. Such a material weakening line may be a material thinning, a perforation or the like.
Um auch das weitere Entfernen des entsprechenden Teils des Deckelrandes in einfacher und kontrollierter Weise zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig das Erscheinungsbild des Deckels auch nach Entfernen dieses Teils nicht zu verschlechtern, kann im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Aufreißhilfe im Deckelrand beabstandet von dessen unterem Ende eine in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende Randabreißhilfe ausgebildet sein. Diese schneidet sich mit der senkrechten Aufreißhilfe, so dass bei Bewegen der Aufreißhandhabe in Aufreißrichtung nach Einreißen der Aufreißhilfe anschließend entlang der Randabreißhilfe die weitere Abtrennung des entsprechenden Teils des Deckelrandes erfolgt.In order to allow the further removal of the corresponding part of the lid edge in a simple and controlled manner and at the same time not to deteriorate the appearance of the lid even after removing this part, can substantially perpendicular to the Aufreißhilfe in the lid edge spaced from the lower end of a circumferentially extending Randabreißhilfe be formed. This intersects with the vertical tear-open, so that when moving the tear-handle in the tear after tearing the tear aid then along the Randabreißhilfe the further separation of the corresponding part of the lid edge.
Die Randabreißhilfe kann dabei ähnlich wie die Aufreißhilfe als Materialschwächungslinie ausgebildet sein.The Randabreißhilfe can be similar to the Aufreißhilfe formed as a material weakening line.
Um in diesem Zusammenhang zu gewährleisten, dass selbst bei entsprechend abgetrenntem Teil des Deckelrandes noch ein Aufsetzen des Deckels auf den Behälter und ein Halten des Deckels mittels des Deckelrandes am Öffnungsrand möglich ist, kann die Randabreißhilfe bei auf dem Behälter aufgesetztem Deckel näher zum unteren Ende des Deckelrandes als der Öffnungsrand angeordnet sein. Dadurch ist gesichert, dass vom Deckelrand zumindest so viel nach Abreißen des entsprechenden Teils verbleibt, dass dieser sich im Wesentlichen über den Öffnungsrand nach unten erstreckt und ein Wiederaufsetzen des Deckels und sicheres Halten des Deckels am Behälter ermöglicht, ist.To ensure in this context that even with a correspondingly separated part of the lid edge still placing the lid on the container and holding the lid by means of the lid edge at the opening edge is possible, the Randabreißhilfe can with attached on the container lid closer to the lower end of the Cover edge may be arranged as the opening edge. This ensures that at least as much of the lid edge remains after tearing off the corresponding part, that it extends substantially over the opening edge down and allows a re-placement of the lid and secure holding the lid on the container is.
Für den Deckel sind im Wesentlichen verschiedene Materialien denkbar. Der Deckel kann vollständig oder auch nur teilweise aus einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt sein. Dieses kann zumindest teilweise transparent oder durchscheinend sein, wobei dies insbesondere für das Deckelteil gelten kann. Dadurch ist das Innere des Behälters einsehbar. Ein einfach herstellbarer und leicht zu recycelnder Deckel kann sich dadurch ergeben, dass der Deckel im Wesentlichen aus einer oder mehreren Papierschichten gebildet ist. Außerdem ist eine solche Papierschicht leicht zu Werbezwecken oder zum Hinweis auf den Inhalt des Bechers bedruckbar.Essentially different materials are conceivable for the lid. The lid can be made entirely or even partially of a plastic material. This may be at least partially transparent or translucent, which may apply in particular to the cover part. As a result, the interior of the container is visible. An easy-to-produce and easy-to-recycle lid may result in that the lid is formed essentially of one or more layers of paper. In addition, such a paper layer is easily printable for promotional purposes or to indicate the contents of the cup.
Da der Deckelteil bei aufgesetztem Deckel den im Behälter befindlichen Inhalt vor einem Eindringen ungewollter Substanzen, aber auch gegenüber einem Ausdringen des Behälterinhalts schützen soll, kann zumindest im Bereich des Deckelteils auf dessen Unterseite eine fluiddichte Kunststoffolie aufgebracht sein. Durch eine solche Kunststofffolie wird zusätzlich verhindert, dass beispielsweise bei einer Flüssigkeit im Behälter die Papierschicht des Deckels und insbesondere des Deckelteils durch die Flüssigkeit aufgeweicht und gegebenenfalls optisch unvorteilhaft beeinflusst wird.Since the cover part is intended to protect the contents in the container against ingress of unwanted substances, but also against the container contents being dispensed, at least in the region of the lid part, a fluid-tight plastic film can be applied to its underside. By such a plastic film is additionally prevented, for example, in the case of a liquid in the container, the paper layer the lid and in particular the lid part softened by the liquid and optionally optically unfavorably influenced.
Es besteht natürlich ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, dass der Deckel oder eines seiner Teile nicht nur aus einer Papierschicht, sondern aus miteinander verbundenen und insbesondere laminierten Papierschichten besteht. Es wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass zumindest im Bereich des unteren Randendabschnitts ein zweischichtiger Aufbau vorliegt, wobei durch die innere Schicht der Verriegelungsrand gebildet ist. Auch hier gilt, dass die entsprechende Schicht eine Papierschicht sein kann.Of course, there is also the possibility that the lid or one of its parts consists not only of a paper layer, but of interconnected and in particular laminated paper layers. It has already been pointed out that at least in the region of the lower edge end section there is a two-layered structure, wherein the locking edge is formed by the inner layer. Again, the appropriate layer may be a paper layer.
Um den Deckel in einfacher Weise zum Verschließen der Behälter bzw. nach deren Herstellung bevorraten zu können, kann der Deckel stapel- und entstapelbar sein.In order to be able to store the lid in a simple manner for closing the containers or after their production, the lid can be stackable and unstackable.
Solche Stapel- und Endstapelbarkeit kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass ein Innendurchmesser des Deckelrandes zumindest an seinem unteren Ende größer als ein Außendurchmesser des oberen Randendabschnitts ist. Eine entsprechende Relation zwischen Innendurchmesser und Außendurchmesser kann auch für den unteren Randendabschnitt bis gegebenenfalls in den Bereich des unteren Randabschnitts vorliegen, wodurch die Stapelbarkeit der Deckel verbessert ist.Such stackability and final stackability can be achieved, for example, by virtue of an inner diameter of the lid edge being larger than an outer diameter of the upper edge end portion, at least at its lower end. A corresponding relation between inner diameter and outer diameter can also be present for the lower edge end section, possibly in the region of the lower edge section, whereby the stackability of the cover is improved.
Um während des Stapelns die Deckel nicht so fest miteinander zu verklemmen, dass ein Endstapel beipielsweise durch einen entsprechenden Automaten erschwert ist, kann der Verriegelungsrand als Stapelstoppelement ausgebildet sein, welches bei gestapelten Deckeln von außen und insbesondere oben am oberen Randendabschnitt anliegt.In order not to jam the lid so tightly together during stacking that an end stack is difficult, for example, by a corresponding machine, the locking edge may be formed as a stack stop element, which rests in stacked lids from the outside and in particular at the top of the upper edge end.

Der Deckelrand 6 weist einen oberen Randendabschnitt 12 auf. Dieser ist im Wesentlichen umgekehrt U-förmig. In eine entsprechende U-Öffnung 13 ist der Randflansch 11 eingesteckt und dort zwischen den entsprechenden U-Schenkeln befestigt.The
Der Deckelrand 6 weist anschließend an den oberen Randendabschnitt 12 einen oberen Randabschnitt 15, einen Zwischenrandabschnitt 17, einen unteren Randabschnitt 16 und einen unteren Randendabschnitt 8 auf. Oberer und unterer Randabschnitt 15, 16 verlaufen unter einem Neigungswinkel nach außen relativ zum Behälter 2. Zwischenrandabschnitt 17 und unterer Randendabschnitt 8 sind geringer nach außen geneigt und können auch im Wesentlichen vertikal verlaufen, siehe

Bezüglich der Neigungswinkel 20 und 21 für oberen und unteren Randabschnitt 15, 16 besteht die Möglichkeit, dass diese gleich sind, siehe auch
Die verschiedenen Neigungswinkel ergeben sich jeweils durch den entsprechenden Winkel zwischen einer Vertikalen und der entsprechenden Neigung nach außen des entsprechenden Randabschnitts.The different angles of inclination result in each case by the corresponding angle between a vertical and the corresponding outward inclination of the corresponding edge section.
Im Bereich des Zwischenrandabschnitts 17 ist unterhalb des Öffnungsrandes 4 die Randabreißhilfe 32 erkennbar. Diese ist in geringerem Abstand zum unteren Ende 14 des Deckelrandes 6 angeordnet, als eine Unterseite des Öffnungsrandes 4. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass selbst bei entlang der Randabreißhilfe 32 abgetrenntem Teil des Deckelrandes 6 noch ein Aufsetzen des Deckels 1 auf den Behälter 2 und entsprechend ein Halten des Deckels am Öffnungsrand 4 durch dessen Anlage an die entsprechende Innenseite des Deckelrandes 6 möglich ist.In the area of the

In angular embodiments, rounded edges are advantageous.
Weiterhin sei noch darauf verwiesen, dass nicht nur aufgrund der Elastizität des Deckelrandes 6 und entsprechend des Verriegelungsrandes 10 ein Aufsetzen des Deckels 1 auf den Behälter 2 möglich ist. In der Regel ist auch der Behälter 2 im Bereich des Öffnungsrandes 4 bzw. der Behälterwand 24 zumindest teilweise elastisch, so dass sich auch dieser beim Aufsetzen des Deckels elastisch verformen kann.Furthermore, it should be pointed out that not only due to the elasticity of the
