Description

Beschreibungdescription
Behälterverschluß mit GeräuscherzeugerContainer closure with noise generator
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälterverschluß mit Mitteln zur Geräuscherzeugung .The invention relates to a container closure with means for generating noise.
Handelsüblich sind einerseits Flaschen mit Kronkorken und andererseits Flaschen mit Bügelverschlüssen, wobei letztere wegen des beim Öffnen entstehenden auffälligen satten Geräusches ("Plop") bei den Verbrauchern beliebter sind. Ein deutliches Öffnungsgeräusch, das durch einen Druckausgleich zwischen Flascheninhalt und Umgebung verursacht wird, hat zudem den Vorteil, daß es die Unversehrtheit des Flaschenverschlusses anzeigt und also beim Fehlen einen Hinweis gibt auf möglicherweise verdorbenen Flascheninhalt oder auf Manipulationen am Flascheninhalt .Commercially customary bottles are on the one hand with bottle caps and on the other hand bottles with buckles, the latter being popular with consumers because of the conspicuous rich sound ("plop") that occurs when they are opened. A significant opening noise, which is caused by a pressure equalization between the bottle contents and the environment, also has the advantage that it indicates the integrity of the bottle cap and so in the absence of an indication of possibly corrupted bottle contents or manipulation of the bottle contents.
Bügelverschlüsse sind in der Herstellung aber teurer und haben zudem den Nachteil, daß die damit ausgestatteten Flaschen sich nur schwer in einen Pfandkreislauf oder ein Entsorgungssystem eingliedern lassen.Ironing closures are more expensive to manufacture and moreover have the disadvantage that the bottles equipped with them are difficult to integrate into a deposit cycle or a disposal system.
Aus der Patentliteratur sind zahlreiche Flaschenverschlüsse bekannt, die ein deutliches Öffnungsgeräusch auch ohne Verwendung von Bügelverschlüssen erzeugen sollen. So wurden Kronkorken vorgeschlagen, bei denen ein Öffnungsgeräusch mittels zusätzlicher elastischer Wülste erzeugt wird, die so an die Innenseite des Kronkorkens angeformt sind, daß sie sich, solange die Flasche verschlossen ist, an die obere Innenwandung des Flaschenhalses pressen und sich beim Öffnen der Flasche schlagartig vom Flaschenhals lösen, wobei sie ein Geräusch verursachen (JP 01-139 350A, JP 04-018 255A, JP 07-257 628 A, JP 07-277 358A und WO 2004/067 402 Al) . Diese Verschlüsse haben aber verschiedene Nachteile: So können nicht die üblichen Kronkorken Verwendung finden, sondern es müssen besondere Korken hergestellt werden (welche an der Innenseite die besagten Wülste aufweisen) . Zudem ist die Herstellung aufwendig, weil die geräuscherzeugenden Teile unmittelbar mit den abdichtenden Teilen des Korkens verbunden sind und deren Maßtoleranzen einhalten müssen. Schließlich ist die Art der Geräusche, die sich mit einem solchen Verschluß erzeugen lassen, auf ein "Plop" beschränkt.Numerous bottle closures are known from the patent literature, which are intended to produce a clear opening noise even without the use of clip closures. So crown caps have been proposed in which an opening sound is generated by means of additional elastic beads which are formed on the inside of the crown cork, that they, as long as the bottle is closed, press against the upper inner wall of the bottle neck and abruptly when opening the bottle from the bottleneck, causing a noise (JP 01-139 350A, JP 04-018 255A, JP 07-257 628 A, JP 07-277 358A and WO 2004/067 402 Al). But these closures have several disadvantages: So can not find the usual bottle caps use, but it must be made of special corks (which said on the inside Have beads). In addition, the production is complicated because the noise-generating parts are directly connected to the sealing parts of the cork and must comply with their dimensional tolerances. Finally, the type of noise that can be generated with such a closure is limited to a "plop".
Weiterhin ist aus der Patentliteratur ein Flaschenverschluß bekannt, der ein pfeifendes Geräusch dadurch erzeugt, daß nach dem Öffnen des eigentlichen Korkens das entweichende Gas durch eine in der Flaschenöffnung angebrachte Pfeife nach außen strömt. (NL 8001976 und JP 2000085779 A) . Ein solcher Geräuscherzeuger ließe sich aber nur vergleichsweise aufwendig herstellen und hätte zudem den Nachteil, daß er auch nach Entfernung des Verschlusses in der Flasche verbliebe, was bei Getränkeflaschen von den meisten Verbrauchern als störend empfunden würde, weil die im Flaschenhals angeordnete Pfeife z.B. das Einführen von Trinkhalmen oder Zitronenscheiben in den Flaschenhals erschwert wie auch das Ausfließen des Getränks.Furthermore, a bottle cap is known from the patent literature, which generates a whistling noise in that after opening the actual cork, the escaping gas flows through a pipe attached in the bottle opening to the outside. (NL 8001976 and JP 2000085779 A). However, such a noise generator could be produced only comparatively expensive and would also have the disadvantage that it would remain even after removal of the closure in the bottle, which would be distracting in beverage bottles by most consumers, because the arranged in the bottleneck pipe, for example. the introduction of drinking straws or lemon slices into the neck of the bottle makes it difficult, as does the flow of the drink.
Mittel zur Erzeugung von Pfeifgeräuschen sind auch für Getränkedosen vorgeschlagen worden (US 5 388718 A und JP 2000 006 968 A) . Wie die o.g. Pfeifen in Flaschenhälsen haben jedoch auch diese Geräuscherzeuger den Nachteil, daß das Behältnis vor dem Abfüllen und Verschließen in abgewandelter Form hergestellt werden muß, daß sich also die Mittel zur Geräuscherzeugung nicht nachträglich anbringen lassen.Means for generating whistling noises have also been proposed for beverage cans (US 5,387,818 A and JP 2000 006 968 A). Like the o.g. However, pipes in bottle necks also have this noise generator the disadvantage that the container must be made before filling and closing in a modified form, so that can not attach the means for generating noise subsequently.
Alle vorgenannten Möglichkeiten haben zudem den Nachteil, daß das zur Geräuscherzeugung verwendete Material mit der Flüssigkeit in der Flasche in Berührung kommt - es muß also ggf. lebensmittelecht sein, was die Herstellung verteuert.All the aforementioned possibilities also have the disadvantage that the material used for generating noise comes into contact with the liquid in the bottle - it must therefore be food safe, which makes the production more expensive.
Schließlich ist aus der Patentliteratur ein Geräuscherzeuger bekannt, bei dem das Material des Flaschendeckels in der Art des Kinderspielzeugs "Knackfrosch" ausgeformt ist und sich im geschlossenen Zustand der Flasche im halbstabilen Zustand be- findet, so daß es beim Öffnen der Flasche in Folge des Druckausgleichs in den stabilen Zustand umspringt und dabei ein Geräusch verursacht (JP 2004 196 318 A) . Ein solcher Geräuscherzeuger ist aber nur für Schraubverschlüsse geeignet, nicht hingegen für Kronkorken, weil letztere beim Öffnen verformt werden und dadurch der in seiner Funktion vom Bestand seiner äußeren Form abhängige Geräuscherzeuger an seiner Funktion gehindert oder darin zumindest gestört würde. Außerdem weist auch dieser Geräuscherzeuger den Nachteil auf, daß Verschlußteile hergestellt werden müssen, die verhältnismäßig maßkritisch sind und damit teurer als die üblichen Kronkorken.Finally, a noise generator is known from the patent literature, in which the material of the bottle cap is formed in the manner of the toy "Knackfrosch" and in the closed state of the bottle in the semi-stable state. takes place so that it opens when opening the bottle as a result of pressure equalization in the stable state and thereby causes a noise (JP 2004 196 318 A). However, such a noise generator is only suitable for screw caps, not for crown caps, because the latter are deformed when opening and thereby prevented in its function of the existence of its outer shape dependent noise generator in its function or at least disturbed therein. In addition, this noise generator has the disadvantage that closure parts must be made, which are relatively critical and therefore more expensive than the usual crown corks.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälterverschluß zu schaffen, mit dem verschiedene Öffnungsgeräusche erzeugt werden können und der dabei preiswert herzustellen ist. Insbesondere soll sich der Geräuscherzeuger für die Verwendung mit üblichen Getränkebehältnissen und deren Verschlüssen, wie z.B. für Getränkedosen oder für Flaschen mit Kronkorken eignen.The invention has for its object to provide a container closure, with the various opening noise can be generated and it is inexpensive to produce. In particular, the noise generator is intended for use with conventional beverage containers and their closures, such as e.g. suitable for beverage cans or bottles with bottle caps.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch einen Behälterver- schluss. mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a container closure. solved with the features of claim 1.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil ergibt sich daraus, daß das geräuscherzeugende Mittel (spröder Stoff) außerhalb des Behälterinneren angebracht wird oder zumindest durch die üblichen Abdicht- mittel (bei der Verwendung von Kronkorken durch dort im Inneren angeordnete Dichtscheiben) von dem Getränkeinhalt getrennt wird. Bei der Gestaltung der Geräuscherzeuger muß deshalb in Form und Material kaum Rücksicht auf die Bedürfnisse der Abdichtung oder der Reinheit des Behälterinhalts genommen werden. Die dadurch ermöglichte Vielfalt verwendbarer Stoffe und Formen ermöglicht verschiedene Ausführungen zur Erzeugung verschiedener Töne .A significant advantage results from the fact that the noise-generating agent (brittle material) is mounted outside the container interior or at least by the usual Abdicht- medium (when using crown corks by there arranged inside sealing washers) is separated from the beverage content. In the design of the noise generator must therefore be taken in the form and material hardly consideration for the needs of the seal or the purity of the container contents. The variety of usable substances and shapes thus made possible different designs for producing different tones.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird ein Kronkorkenverschluß bekannter Bauart mit einer Scheibe aus ei- nem spröden Stoff beklebt. Das erlaubt nicht nur, in besonders kostengünstiger Weise geräuscherzeugende Verschlüsse herzustellen. Vielmehr können dadurch sogar Flaschen, die bereits in herkömmlicher Weise verschlossen wurden, nachträglich in einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt mit dem Geräuscherzeuger ausgerüstet werden. Es muß nicht bereits bei der Abfüllung entschieden werden, welche Flaschen einen Geräuscherzeuger erhalten sollen. Vielmehr können die Flaschen abgefüllt, transportiert und gelagert werden, um erforderlichenfalls erst anschließend mit dem Geräuscherzeuger versehen zu werden. Dies erleichtert die Herstellung von Kleinserien, z.B. für zeitlich begrenzte Werbeaktionen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a crown cap of known type is provided with a disc of a stuck to a brittle material. This not only allows to produce noise-generating closures in a particularly cost-effective manner. Rather, even bottles that have already been sealed in a conventional manner, can be subsequently equipped in a further step with the noise generator. It does not have to be decided already at the bottling, which bottles should receive a noise generator. Rather, the bottles can be filled, transported and stored to be provided, if necessary, only then with the noise generator. This facilitates the production of small series, eg for temporary promotions.
Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus nachfolgender Beschreibung eines besonders für Kronkorkenverschlüsse geeignetes Ausführungsbeispiels.Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment particularly suitable for crown caps.
Es ist aber ebenfalls möglich, den Geräuscherzeuger auf dem Verschluß einer Getränkedose anzubringen oder einen Flaschenverschluß vollständig aus dem spröden Material herzustellen (z.B. in der Art eines Kronkorkens aus sprödem Kunststoff) .However, it is also possible to mount the sound generator on the closure of a beverage can or to make a bottle closure completely out of the brittle material (e.g., in the manner of a brittle cork of brittle plastic).

Der Verschluss 1 ist dabei ein handelsüblicher Kronkorken 1 aus Metallblech, der mit seinem umgebörtelten Rand den Hals der Flasche 2 formschlüssig abdeckt. Auf dessen Oberseite ist eine Glasscheibe 3 gleichen oder geringeren Durchmessers aufgeklebt, wobei eine Scheibe geringeren Durchmessers im Wesentlichen konzentrisch befestigt werden muß.The closure 1 is a commercial crown cork 1 made of sheet metal, which covers the neck of the bottle 2 with a form-fitting with its umgebörtelten edge. On the upper side of a glass plate 3 is glued same or smaller diameter, with a smaller diameter disc must be mounted substantially concentric.
Beim Öffnen (Fig. 2) biegt sich der Kronkorken 1 durch und das spröde Glas bricht - hier in Fig. 2 gezeigt im räumlichen Be- reich 4 - , wobei es ein knirschendes Geräusch erzeugt, wie es ähnlich z.B. beim Zerstoßen von Eiswürfeln entsteht. When opening (FIG. 2), the bottle cap 1 bends and the brittle glass breaks - here in FIG. rich 4 -, where it produces a crunchy sound, as it arises, for example, when crushing ice cubes.
