Definitions

  • This invention relates to a capsule closure, that is a cap closure with a receiving capsule for mounting over the spout hole or on the threaded neck of a liquid or bulk container.
  • the capsule closure allows the metered addition of a substance by the operation of the cap, namely by their depression or unscrewing (see, eg FR-A-2 569 666 ).
  • This capsule closure can be mounted on various containers, such as all kinds of glass or plastic bottles or similar containers. Next, the closure can also be carried out for threaded connection of bottles or containers of all kinds, which are optionally closed by a film material.
  • the capsule closure is also suitable for a wide variety of liquid or bulk containers. In particular, it is intended to liquid packages in the form of composite packages of foil-coated paper in which, for example, milk, fruit juices, all kinds of non-alcoholic drinks or general liquids are also packed from the non-food area. But the closure can also be used for composite packages in which bulk goods such as sugar, semolina or all kinds of chemicals, medicines, such as tablets and the like are kept or packaged.
  • This film-coated paper is a laminate material, such as a paper or board web coated with plastic such as polyethylene and / or aluminum. Common volumes of such packages range from 20cl up to 2 liters and more.
  • an active substance in the form of a substance in liquid form or in the form of a free-flowing bulk material must be added or added before the application of a liquid or a powder or other bulk material.
  • this substance or substance can not be added to the bulk material from the very beginning of the liquid. Rather, the substance must be stored separately and hermetically sealed, for example, to prevent an oxygen input.
  • vitamins that are bound in effervescent tablets and are dissolved in a drink or water immediately before ingestion.
  • all sorts of medicines, such as headache tablets are only dissolved immediately for use in water. It could also be a small portion of a high percentage of alcohol contained in such a receiving capsule, which is metered when opening the closure in a sweet or fruit drink, to produce a so-called Alcopop beverage with about 5% by volume of alcohol content.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a capsule closure, by its first opening in a separate, hermetically by means of a gas and liquid-resistant barrier automatically added to the closed capsule. If necessary, the entire capsule must be made of such a barrier-material.
  • This capsule closure should be able to be carried out both as a threaded cap closure as well as slip-on or Aufsetzkappenver gleich, and he should be mountable depending on the design on a threaded neck of a container or bottle, or provided with a flange over the spout of any container by sealing or Weldable mountable, such as on the spout hole of a composite packaging container or a metal or plastic container.
  • a capsule closure for mounting over the spout hole or on the threaded neck of a liquid or bulk container for dosing a substance stored separately by depressing or unscrewing the cap according to claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the capsule closure. He is here designed as a threaded cap closure by the cap 1 forms a threaded cap. On its inner side of the lid, a receiving device 2 arranged concentrically with respect to the cap 1 is formed, which fits into the interior of an associated nipple piece 3. The nipple piece 3 is a separate molded part. The outer wall 4 of the threaded cap 1 has on its inner side 5 a thread 6, which fits on the external thread 7 of this nipple piece 3. It is a left-handed thread. That means, when turning the Cap 1 seen from above in a counterclockwise direction, it is screwed on the nipple piece 3 down.
  • a guarantee strip 15 which is here formed on a predetermined breaking point 16 on the nipple piece 3 and on the tab 24 can be grasped.
  • the threaded cap 1 on the nipple piece 3 by a counterclockwise rotation can be screwed until the lower edge of the threaded cap 1 on the outer shoulder 17 on the nipple piece 3 finds a stop.
  • a receiving capsule 8 is housed in the interior of the receiving device 2. This can be made in one piece with the cap 1 or also produced separately in a separate sequence, filled and sealed.
  • the entire capsule may be made of a gas and liquid-tight barrier material, for example, EVOH, polyamide, aluminum, composites or laminates thereof, if desired.
  • this receiving capsule 8 consists of a deep-drawn or injection-molded container whose opening is closed with an at least single-layered film 9.
  • the film 9 is first sealed onto the container or this receiving capsule 8 after it has been filled with contents, for example with a certain active substance.
  • the receiving capsule 8 here has the shape of a cone portion and has fallen, that is, with the film 9 closing it on the underside inserted into the receiving device 2 of the cap 1.
  • the receiving capsule 8 fits into at least one tapered support member 19 on the underside of a pusher element 20 a which pusher element 20 forms part of the cap lid and is enclosed by a circumferential, deformable thin layer 44. Therefore, the pusher member 20 can be pressed axially under deformation of the thin spot 44 on the cap 1 to push out after removing the cap 1, the receiving capsule 8 from the same.
  • the receiving device 2 extends partially or along the entire circumference a slightly projecting bead 21.
  • the receiving capsule 8 When the receiving capsule 8 is pushed with its bottom in the receiving device 2, so engages her radially projecting edge 22 behind this bead 21 a , so that the receiving capsule 8 between the support member 19 and this bead 21 is held slightly biased. At the same time, this ensures that it can not be twisted in the receiving device 2.
  • its projecting edge 22 may still be equipped with drive cams, which engage in corresponding recesses in the receiving device 2, so that the security against rotation is further enhanced.
  • depressions can also be attached to the projecting edge 22, and the receiving device can be equipped with corresponding elevations.
  • a radially inwardly projecting annular shoulder 10 is formed.
  • three piercing and / or cutting elements 12 are formed distributed around the circumference, of which one sees in the sectional drawing, of course, only the two.
  • the cutting edges 23 of these piercing and / or cutting elements 12 extend at an angle to the plane of rotation of the cap and are directed upward.
  • the guarantee strip 15 is formed on the predetermined breaking point 16.
  • the guarantee strip 15 may also be formed on a predetermined breaking point or some discrete predetermined breaking points at the bottom of the threaded cap 1.
  • the nipple piece 3 extends slightly downwards in the axial direction and thus forms a threaded sleeve 14. With this sleeve 14, the entire closure can be screwed onto the threaded socket 13 of a container, namely approximately onto the threaded connection of a bottle.
  • the closure now works as follows: In the receiving capsule 8 is hermetically sealed by the film 9, an active ingredient in the form of a liquid substance or a free-flowing bulk material. If the bottle equipped with the capsule closure, to the contents of which the active substance is to be added, is opened for the first time, the guarantee strip 15 must first be removed. Thereafter, the threaded cap 1 on the external thread 7 of the nipple piece 3, which is screwed tightly to the threaded pipe 13 of the bottle, are screwed down. Therefore, the Threaded cap 1 turned to the left, that is seen from above in a counterclockwise direction. In this case, the threaded cap 1 shifts downwards thanks to the left-hand rotation of the thread.
  • the receiving capsule 8 is rotated with the threaded cap 1, because it is held against rotation in the same. Accordingly, the film 9 is lowered and turned over the piercing and / or cutting elements 12. These cut in the sequence on the film 9 with its cutting edges 23, after which the active substance in the receiving capsule 8 flows into the interior of the bottle or container, trickles or falls. As soon as the lower edge of the threaded cap 1 is present on the outer shoulder 17 of the nipple piece 3, this is rotated with the further turning of the threaded cap 1 with the same and is thereby unscrewed from the threaded neck 13 of the bottle or container. Thus, the cap closure is completely removed from the bottle or container. Afterwards, the contents of the bottle or container can be poured out or poured out.
  • the threaded cap 1 is first rotated after removing the guarantee strip 15 in a clockwise direction until the lower edge of the threaded cap 1 abuts against the outer shoulder 17 of the nipple piece 3.
  • the receiving capsule 8 is moved downward in the same way and on the piercing and / or.
  • Cutting elements 12 is rotated so that their cutting edges 23 cut open the film 9 and the contents of the receiving capsule 8 falls into the container or the bottle.
  • the threaded cap 1 is unscrewed counterclockwise from the nipple piece 3 and the exposed Nippel Community 3 then forms the spout nozzle of the bottle or container.
  • FIG. 2 shows this cap closure according to FIG. 1 in a section along the axis of rotation of the closure in perspective viewed obliquely from below.
  • the shape of the piercing and / or cutting elements 12 with their obliquely arranged to the plane of rotation cutting edges 23.
  • the threaded cap 1 is rotated from above viewed in the counterclockwise direction down, so first prick the tips 25, the film 9 at three around the circumference Distributed locations and when further turning down the threaded cap 1 afterwards cut the edges 23 clean cuts along the circumference of the capsule opening in the film 9 so that the capsule contents reliably flows into the interior of the bottle or container or falls.
  • the central stabilizing mandrel 26 helps to keep the film 9 stretched along its periphery during cutting.
  • the thread between the nipple piece 3 and the threaded cap 1 is a right-handed thread, because the nipple piece 3 is bounced with its lower part only on the bottle neck and therefore not wegschraubbar.
  • the threaded cap 1 To open the shutter so the threaded cap 1 must be unscrewed without taking the nipple piece. It is therefore first taken to open the warranty strip 15 on the tab 24 and torn away. After that, the threaded cap 1 is rotated clockwise viewed from above, whereby it is screwed down on the nipple piece 3, which causes the slicing of the film 9 of the receiving capsule 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows such a capsule closure according to FIGS. 1 or 2 in a view from the side.
  • the guarantee strip 15 is integrally connected via some predetermined breaking points 27 with the threaded cap 1, while it rests with its lower edge on the outer shoulder 17 of the nipple piece 3.
  • a tab 24 is formed, on which it can be grasped and can be torn away from the threaded cap 1 while breaking the predetermined breaking point 27.
  • FIG. 4 shows a capsule closure as a threaded cap closure with a receiving capsule 8 accommodated therein in a section along the axis of rotation of the closure. He is screwed here on a turn closed with a film 29 threaded connector 13.
  • this threaded cap closure with its foil-sealed receiving capsule 8 for a Active substance is applied to such a container with in turn foil-sealed threaded connector 13, so ultimately two films must be opened, namely first that film 9 of the receiving capsule 8 with the active substance and secondly that film 29 on the neck 13 of the bottle 28 or the container.
  • the threaded cap closure shown here allows this by having not only piercing and / or cutting elements with upwardly directed cutting edges, but also those with downwardly directed piercing tips and / or cutting edges.
  • the piercing and / or cutting element 12 for opening the film 9 of the receiving capsule 8 here consists of a vault, which is laterally supported on the edge 11 of the projecting annular projection 10 and forms a piercing tip 33 on its upper side.
  • the further piercing and / or cutting elements 30 on the inner edge 11 of the annular, inwardly projecting shoulder 10 on the nipple piece 3 are movable, that is about the shoulder edge 11 1 downwardly pivotable lancing and / or cutting elements 30. They have downwardly directed piercing tips 31 on.
  • This capsule closure works as follows. First of all, the guarantee strip 15 is torn off again. Thereafter, the threaded cap 1 can be screwed down, whereby the stationary piercing and / or cutting element 12 opens with its upwardly directed piercing tip 33, the film 9 on the receiving capsule 8. At the same time the piercing and / or cutting elements 30 are pivoted downward by the downwardly pressed receiving capsule.
  • This lancing and / or cutting elements 30 are in fact pivotally formed on each of a thin point 32 on the inner edge 11 of the radially on the nipple piece 3 inwardly projecting shoulder 10. By pivoting down this piercing and / or cutting elements 30 whose piercing tips 31 are pressed by the film 29 and open the same.
  • the contents of the receiving capsule 8 thereby passes into the interior of the bottle or container and afterwards the threaded cap 1 can be screwed off completely.

  • the cap closure is shown in Figure 7 in a further view seen from approximately below her.
  • FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of such a cap closure as an escutcheon closure with a receiving capsule 8 housed therein in a section along the axis of rotation of the closure.
  • the closure can be sealed onto a composite package.
  • the cap here has no thread, neither a left nor a right-handed, but is simply slipped over the outside smooth nipple piece 3.
  • the cap 1 with a smooth inner side fits snugly on the nipple piece 3 and between the cap 1 and nipple piece 3, an additional seal may be inserted or molded, for example in the form of a lip 35.
  • the underside of the nipple piece 3 is designed as a flange 34.
  • the cap closure can be welded or sealed onto the spout opening on a container made of plastic or metal.
  • the function of the cap closure remains the same.
  • the Stülpkappe 1 can be depressed, whereby the piercing and / or cutting elements 12 with their upwardly directed cutting edges 23 cut the film 9 on the receiving capsule 8.
  • the cap 1 can subsequently be rotated by, for example, 120 ° or more so that the film 9 is completely cut out.
  • the contents of the receiving capsule 8 thus falls into the interior of the container and its contents are ready for use.
  • the cap 1 is pulled up and the contents of the container can be distributed.
  • FIG. 9 shows an alternative embodiment of this cap closure, here on the basis of a perspective longitudinal section.
  • a biasing lever 36 is formed on a support member 37, so that it is pivotable about the support member 37 in the vertical, that is, is pivotable about a horizontal axis. If the cap 1 is screwed in the release direction after the tearing off of the guarantee strip, it moves in the axial direction down and presses the receiving capsule 8 with its outer edge on the rear lever 38 of the biasing lever 36. The lever 38 therefore moves as with the small Arrow drawn down and accordingly, the biasing lever 36 is pivoted upward as shown by the longer arrow.
