Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container closure according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a container closure system according to the preamble of patent claim 12.
  • Plastic closures with tamper-evident or with tamper evident indicator are available in a wide variety. They are intended to ensure that the purchaser of a product bottled in a bottle or other container can be certain that nothing has been manipulated on the product itself and that he can therefore use the product without hesitation. Therefore, these fuses and indicators must on the one hand ensure that the closure has not been opened and, on the other hand, that it has not been removed from the container for a short time.
  • the first task is usually accomplished by a guarantee strip securing the lid of the closure. For the bottle to be opened, the guarantee strip must first be removed.
  • the prior art proposes various solutions.
  • the guarantee element not only secures the cover against its lower part but also at the same time the lower part opposite the bottleneck.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that after the first opening of the bottle can no longer be determined whether the closure has been removed from the bottle at a later date and the liquid in the bottle has been replaced.
  • EP-A-0'322'366 discloses a snap closure for bottles with beaded edges on the neck of the bottle, the snap closure having a tamper-evident closure in the form of a push-off element which is bounded on both sides by weak points.
  • the push-off element forms part of the jacket.
  • EP-A-0'214'095 describes a plastic closure with a guarantee strip and a push-through element, which can pierce the bottle neck closing membrane only after removal of the guarantee strip.
  • WO 02/36451 shows a screw cap with a guarantee strip, which has recesses in which radially projecting parts of the bottle neck engage and thus prevent mutual rotation.
  • the screw cap is rotated, shearing forces act on the breakaway webs of the guarantee strip so that the webs break.
  • DE 200 09 203 discloses a closure with an integrity guarantee element and with an integrity indicator.
  • This tamper evident indicator is formed by a ring molded on the bottom of the closure and connected to the effective base via breakaway bridges.
  • the container closure according to the invention has a lower part, a top part connected thereto via a hinge axis and at least one tamper-evident indicator which is irreversibly destroyed in the first-applied state to a container during a rotational movement of the closure relative to the container. Furthermore, an integrity guarantee element is present, which is destroyed irreversibly in the first-closed state of the closure during a pivoting movement of the upper part relative to the lower part about the hinge axis. According to the invention, the at least one tamper-evident element is completely independent of at least one tamper-evident indicator.
  • the indicator is an integral part of the shell of the closure bottom and the guarantee element is a tamper evident band which can be completely torn away.
  • the indicator according to the invention can also be used for other closures, in particular also for closures without further integrity guarantee elements. It is therefore a further object of the invention to provide a container closure system having a low cost manufacturable integrity indicator.
  • This inventive container closure system has a container and an associated closure, wherein the closure has at least one tamper evident indicator, which is irreversibly destroyed in the Clearaufget state on the container during a rotational movement of the closure relative to the container.
  • the tamper-evident indicator is a jacket part of the closure, wherein this jacket part is strip-shaped and is connected at one end of the band via a hinge with the remaining sealing jacket. At the opposite end of the shell part it is connected via predetermined breaking points with the remaining sealing jacket.
  • the tamper indicating device has an inwardly projecting nose which abuts against a wing of the container neck in the first applied condition.
  • a further advantage is that it can be applied to the bottle in a simple manner, without special processing steps to close the indicator are necessary. Furthermore, the indicator hardly affects the design of the closure and can adapt to the most varied forms of the closure.
  • the integrity guarantee element according to the invention can also be used for other closures, in particular also for closures without further indicators of integrity. It is a further object of the invention to provide a closure with an integrity guarantee element which is easy to open.
  • This container closure according to the invention has a lower part, a top part connected to it via a hinge axis and at least one integrity guarantee element which is irreversibly destroyed in the first-closed state of the closure during a pivotal movement of the upper part relative to the lower part about the hinge axis.
  • the tamper-evident element has desired bridge bridges which are connected to the upper part.
  • a retaining band is arranged, which has at least one male element with at least one barb, which can be inserted into a recess of the lower part.
  • the warranty element can be removed or removed in various ways. It can be completely or partially torn away or it can simply be crushed. Thus, the closure of anyone, including handicapped or elderly people can be opened easily.
  • FIG. 1 shows a closure according to the invention. It is designed as a snap hinge closure and manufactured in one piece from plastic by injection molding. It has a lower part 1 and an upper part 2, which are pivotally connected to each other via a film hinge 3 of known type about a hinge axis. Instead of the film hinge 3, other known hinge types can be used.
  • the lower part 1 is used for attachment to a container neck, in particular a bottleneck.
  • the upper part 2 forms the lid of the closure and, in the open state, releases a pouring opening.
  • the closure has an integrity guarantee element in the form of a tamper-evident band 4.
  • This tamper-evident band 4 connects in the first-closed state the upper part 2 with the lower part 1, wherein it has a pusher 20th covered, as can be seen in Figure 2.
  • This pusher 20 is used when opening the upper part 2 as a pressure surface for a finger, especially the thumb.
  • the guarantee strip 4 is connected via upper breakaway bridges 40 with the upper part 2, that is molded onto this.
  • the guarantee strip 4 can be connected via lower breakaway bridges 41 with the lower part 1.
  • a retaining bridge or a retaining band 5 is injection-molded on the guarantee band 4.
  • This retaining band 5 has two rectangular plug-in elements and a band connecting these elements. There are barbs on the male elements.
  • the lower part 1 has two mutually spaced recesses 13, 14 into which the two male members of the retaining band 5 can be inserted.
  • the closure is injected in the open state and then closed.
  • the male elements are inserted into the recesses 13, 14 and can no longer be removed without destruction due to their barbs.
  • For the initial opening of the closure of the user now has various options: he can tear away the guarantee strip 4, where it can be completely or only partially removed from the retaining band 5. But he can also press the guarantee strip 4 in the region of the pusher 20 and open the upper part 2, whereby in turn here break the break bridges 40 to the upper part 2.
  • the upper part 2 in this region of the guarantee strip 4 has a recess in order to facilitate the impressions.
  • the retaining band 5 lowers downwards and releases the pusher 20 better. As a result, the subsequent repeated opening of the closure is facilitated and the retaining band 5 is also optically nicely placed.
  • the guarantee strip 4 can be completely removed when opened for the first time in a simple manner or can be torn away more easily, it has a protruding handle 42 at one end, as can be seen in particular in FIG.
  • the tamper-evident indicator 6 serves as an indicator of whether the entire closure has already been removed from the container once it has been applied to the container. In contrast to the guarantee strip 4, the indicator 6 is not completely removed, but remains on the closure.
  • the indicator 6 forms an integral part of the shell of the lower part 1. It is band-shaped and extends at the bottom of the lower part 1. At one end of the band, it is connected via a hinge 62 with the remaining sealing skirt and at an opposite end of the casing part it is connected via predetermined breaking points, here in the form of three predetermined breaking webs 60, with the remaining sealing jacket.
  • the band-shaped indicator 6 has between its two ends a longitudinal extent which extends parallel to the circumference of the shell of the lower part 1. In the first-closed condition of the closure on the container, the indicator follows the shape of the remainder of the jacket.
  • FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal section through the closure according to the invention.
  • the closure has an internal thread 12 so that it can be screwed onto a corresponding external thread of a container neck in order to produce the first-closed or the first-applied state.
  • the invention is not limited to closures with screw threads. It can also be realized in bottle necks with a bead or other connection options.
  • the spout opening 11 can be seen, which is formed by the lower part 1 of the closure.
  • This spout opening 11 is surrounded by a collar 21 of the upper part 2, so that a tight seal is formed.
  • this is just one of many training opportunities.
  • the lower part 1 after one downwardly projecting collar 10 to form a sealed closure with the container neck, not shown in this figure.
  • the closure in particular the lower part 1, does not necessarily have to have a round cross section.
  • the closure shown here has a hexagonal shape, wherein the hexagon is designed uniformly.
  • not only an indicator 6, but exactly two diagonally opposite indicators 6 are present. These two indicators 6 are identically formed, having the same sense of rotation, i. the predetermined breaking webs 60 point in the same direction.
  • the indicators 6 each extend over a corner of the shell and thus have an angle. In this case, the indicator 6 has in the region of this corner via a nose 61, which protrudes inwards and which has directed her step or edge to the predetermined breaking webs 60 out.
  • FIG. 7 It can now be seen in FIG. 7 how the associated bottle must be formed. It must have in the region of the receptacle of the closure, which is preferably formed by a neck, two radially outwardly projecting wings 71 or lugs. These wings 71 are arranged diagonally opposite each other and they have the same direction of rotation. One side of the wing 71 is slightly rounded, the other side forms a sharp edge. The edge is directed in each case to the edge of the nose 61 of the indicator 6 out. In the fond locallyen or Waretzmonyen state is the nose 61 of the indicator on the wing 71 of the container 7 at.
  • the closure can be applied to the container neck without destroying the indicator 6.
  • the material taper in the joints 62 is clearly visible.
  • These hinges 62 give the indicator 6 some flexibility so that the lugs 61 can be engaged with the wings 71. This situation is shown enlarged in Figure 8.
  • the container closure according to the invention thus makes it possible to separately check the first-time opening and the first-time removal of the closure, wherein the integrity indicator is a cost-effective and adaptable element of the closure.
