Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottle with a nozzle forming a spout opening, which is associated with an existing two pin bracket closure.
- the sealing of a bottle with a strap closure is for example by the DE 297 13 403 U1 disclosed.
- the clip closure is pivotally fixed by the two pins held in the recesses to the mouthpiece of the bottle and can close the spout opening of the mouthpiece or, if a corresponding force is applied, the clip closure can be opened so that the contents of the bottle from the mouthpiece and the spout opening flows out when the bottle is tilted accordingly.
- a disadvantage of such a bottle has been found that their production is extremely costly, because the wall thickness of the bottle is to be measured in particular thick in the mouthpiece in order to produce a sufficient depth for the recess for holding the pin can. If, in fact, the wall thickness of the mouthpiece is too small, there is no sufficient material in the area of the mouthpiece into which the recesses have been incorporated can be.
- the mouthpiece has a predetermined length, which is responsible for the fact that the bottle is to be produced by the blow-and-blow process, since only through this method such a mouthpiece can be produced. However, the blow-and-blow process increases the wall thickness of the entire bottle.
- a sleeve is arrested in the region of the mouthpiece and that two diametrically opposite recesses are incorporated in the sleeve, in which the two pins of the clip closure are pivotably held in the mounted state.
- the sleeve is made of an elastomeric, semi-elastic or resistant to bending plastic, it is achieved that their weight is based on the volume occupied by the sleeve dimensioned smaller than the weight, which is determined by the volume of the wall thickness of the mouthpiece made of glass, because the wall thickness of the mouthpiece can now be reduced by the wall thickness of the sleeve, so that both the weight of the bottle is reduced in total, as well as the production costs are reduced by the material savings.
- the mouth height of the mouthpiece is about 36 mm in the known glass bottles with clip closure and 6 mm in the glass bottle according to the invention.
- the inner lateral surface of the sleeve is frustoconical and that the outer contour of the mouthpiece is adapted to the inner contour of the sleeve. It is particularly advantageous if the inner lateral surface of the sleeve is flared in the direction of the bottle, since thereby the sleeve can be pushed onto the mouthpiece and consequently by the geometric configuration of the lateral surface and the correspondingly adapted configuration of the inner lateral surface of the sleeve on the outer circumferential surface of the Mouthpiece is held clamped.
- an external thread is incorporated on the lateral surface of the mouthpiece and provided in the inner contour of the sleeve with the external thread corresponding internal thread, so that the sleeve is fixed by screwing on the mouthpiece at this.
- the sleeve made of plastic can reliably and over a prolonged period, even with temperature fluctuations, shocks and other forces acting on the bottle and the sleeve, be reliably fixed to the mouthpiece, so that on the sleeve as an intermediate link of the strap closure in Area of the spout opening clamped by this is held.
- the wall thickness of the mouthpiece can be significantly reduced, whereby glass material is saved for the production of the bottle. Due to the smaller wall thickness of the mouthpiece, the weight of the bottle is reduced overall, because the weight of the plastic sleeve is smaller compared to the glass volume saved.
- the strap closure can be factory pre-assembled on the sleeve to be subsequently pushed or screwed onto the lateral surface of the mouthpiece.
- the two pins of the clip closure are first lovedbiegen and then snap these into the wall of the mouthpiece and fix there by bending together.
- the sleeve is designed to be elastic, semi-elastic or pliable, because this can be compressed both before their attachment to the mouthpiece and after pushing or screwing the sleeve on the mouthpiece, so that the two spaced apart Pins of the swing-top closure are not expandable in order to lock them in the two diametrically opposite recesses of the sleeve can. Also by this material property of the sleeve is thus the mounting of the swing-top closure on the Bottle simplified, so that assembly time and special technical measures for the installation of the swing top closure omitted on the bottle.
- the in the FIGS. 1 to 4 Pictured bottle 1 has a bulbous bottle body, is stored in the interior of liquid.
- the bottle 1 also consists of a narrowing mouthpiece 2, in the end of a spout opening 3 is incorporated.
- the liquid stored inside the bottle 1 flows out through the mouthpiece 2 and the spout opening 3
- the geometric dimension of the mouthpiece 2 is about 6 mm, measured from the end face 21 of the spout opening 3. Due to this reduced length of the Mouthpiece 2, the bottle can be prepared by the press-blow process, so that its wall thickness compared to glass bottles, which are manufactured by the blow-blow process, by a certain value, which is dependent on the minimum wall thickness, is reduced. Thus, glass material can already be saved by using another manufacturing method. The weight of the bottle 1 is reduced and reduced its production costs.
- a strap closure 4 which essentially has two diametrically opposite pins 5, which are integrally formed on a metal frame 8.
- the two pins 5 thus form a common axis; opposite to the pin 5, a sealing cap 9 is attached to the metal frame 8, through which the spout opening 3 can be closed.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen that, in order to save the wall thickness of the mouthpiece 2, a sleeve 11 is mounted from a Kunststoffmaterlal on the mouthpiece 2 in order to secure the strap closure 5 in the region of the spout opening 3 as a closure can.
- the use of the sleeve 11 also allows the production-related reduction of the length of the mouthpiece 2 to 6 mm.
- two diametrically opposite recesses 12 are incorporated on the outside of the sleeve 11, which form a common axis 20.
- each one of the pin 5 is inserted. This can already take place as a preassembly step in that the sleeve 11 made of an elastic or flexurally soft material is compressed in order to reduce the distance between the two recesses 12, so that the spaced-apart pins 5 can be engaged in the recesses 12 without further aids.
- the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve 11 is conically tapered, with respect to the longitudinal axis 6 formed by the bottle 1, because the Inner diameter of the sleeve 11 which extends adjacent to the bottle body 1 in the assembled state, is designed larger than the inner diameter, which is arranged in the region of the spout opening 3.
- the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 is adapted to the inner contour of the sleeve 11, so that the sleeve 11 can be pushed onto the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 and due to the geometric configurations of the inner and outer diameter of the sleeve 11 and the mouthpiece 2, the sleeve 11th held clamped on the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2.
- a collar 18 is formed in the transition region, ie between the bottle body and the mouthpiece 2, which serves as a stop for the sleeve 11 so that it rests against this and supported.
- a lip 22 is formed, which is designed such that the free end of the lip 22 rests in the assembled state on the end face 21 of the mouthpiece 2 and thus the sleeve 11 in addition by the lips 22 on the mouthpiece 2 in Direction of the longitudinal axis 6 of the bottle 1 is fixed.
- the sleeve 11 is pushed over the retaining lugs 15 and the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 and as soon as this Aufschiebterrorism the sleeve 11 is stopped by the collar 18, the lips 22 are on the front side 21 and the retaining lug 15, so that the sleeve 11 can no longer be twisted and slipped.
- the clip closure 5 can already be fixed to the mouthpiece 2 at this before the sliding of the sleeve 11 or subsequently, ie after the sleeve 11 has already been pushed onto the mouthpiece 2, are clipped into the recesses 12.
- the two pins 5 are pivotally held in the respective recess 12.
- the axis 20 formed by the two recesses 12 thus represents the axis of rotation for the pin 5.
- the sleeve 11 can be screwed onto the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 to an external thread 13.
- the external thread 13 is integrally formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 and in the sleeve 11 a corresponding with the external thread 13 internal thread 14 is incorporated.
- the outer and inner diameter of the external thread 13 and internal thread 14 are constant.
- the inner contour of the sleeve 11 is designed according to the internal thread 14 V or trapezoidal. Consequently, the free end face of the sleeve 11 is from the outer circumferential surface of the mouthpiece 2 in the assembled state.
- a projection 17 is formed on the outside of the mouthpiece 2, which engages in a groove 7 incorporated in the inside of the sleeve 7 and through which the Bottle body of the bottle 1 facing portion of the sleeve 11 is pushed outwards.
- the bias is achieved with the pins 5 of the clip closure 4 are held in the two diametrically opposite recesses 12 of the sleeve 11.
- two diametrically opposite recesses 19 are incorporated in the sleeve 11, whose contours are pressed against one another and configured in a wave-like or rectangular manner, so that the sleeve 11 can be compressed.
- the two recesses 19 are parallel to the axis 20, whereby the distance between the two recesses 12 can be reduced in order to clip the pin 5 in this.
- the distance between the two recesses 12 can be reduced by the free end of the sleeve 11 is compressed. This ensures that the pin 5 of the strap closure 4 can be easily clipped into the recesses 12 without additional technical aids for widening the pin 5 are required.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Flasche mit einem eine Ausgussöffnung bildenden Mundstück, dem ein aus zwei Zapfen bestehender Bügelverschluss zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to a bottle with a nozzle forming a spout opening, which is associated with an existing two pin bracket closure.
Die Abdichtung einer Flasche mit einem Bügelverschluss ist beispielsweise durch die
Als nachteilig bei einer solchen Flasche hat sich herausgestellt, dass deren Herstellung äußerst kostenintensiv ist, denn die Wandstärke der Flasche ist insbesondere im Bereich des Mundstückes dick zu bemessen, um eine ausreichende Tiefe für die Ausnehmung zur Halterung der Zapfen herstellen zu können. Wenn nämlich die Wandstärke des Mundstückes zu gering ist, steht kein ausreichendes Material im Bereich des Mundstückes zur Verfügung, in das die Ausnehmungen eingearbeitet werden können. Darüber hinaus weist das Mundstück eine vorgegebene Länge auf, die dafür verantwortlich ist, dass die Flasche im Blas-Blas-Verfahren herzustellen ist, da ausschließlich durch dieses Verfahren ein derartiges Mundstück produzierbar ist. Durch das Blas-Blas-Verfahren wird jedoch die Wandstärke der gesamten Flasche erhöht.A disadvantage of such a bottle has been found that their production is extremely costly, because the wall thickness of the bottle is to be measured in particular thick in the mouthpiece in order to produce a sufficient depth for the recess for holding the pin can. If, in fact, the wall thickness of the mouthpiece is too small, there is no sufficient material in the area of the mouthpiece into which the recesses have been incorporated can be. In addition, the mouthpiece has a predetermined length, which is responsible for the fact that the bottle is to be produced by the blow-and-blow process, since only through this method such a mouthpiece can be produced. However, the blow-and-blow process increases the wall thickness of the entire bottle.
Dadurch wird jedoch auch die Herstellung der Flasche insgesamt verteuert; durch jede Verringerung der Wandstärke der Flasche kann nämlich Material eingespart werden. Die Herstellung von Glasflaschen Ist aufgrund der hohen Einkaufskosten für den Rohstoff Glas äußerst kostenintensiv.However, this also makes the production of the bottle more expensive overall; Namely, by reducing the wall thickness of the bottle material can be saved. The production of glass bottles is extremely cost-intensive due to the high purchase costs for the raw material glass.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Flasche der eingangs genannten Gattung mit einem Bügelverschluss ausrüsten zu können, deren Gewichtskraft gegenüber den herkömmlichen Glas-Flaschen mit Bügelverschluss durch Einsparung von Material reduziert ist und gleichzeitig einen Bügelverschluss aufweist, der im Bereich des Mundstückes der Flasche angeordnet ist. Durch die Einsparung von Glasmaterial sollen zudem die Herstellungskosten für die Massenware der Glasflaschen mit Bügelverschluss verringert sein und die Flasche soll zudem im Press-Blas-Verfahren produzierbar sein.It is therefore an object of the invention to be able to equip a bottle of the type mentioned with a clip closure whose weight is reduced compared to conventional glass bottles with clip closure by saving material and at the same time has a clip closure, which is located in the mouthpiece of the bottle is. Due to the saving of glass material, the production costs for the bulk goods of the glass bottles with clip closure should also be reduced and the bottle should also be able to be produced by the press-blow process.
Diese Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass im Bereich des Mundstückes an diesem eine Hülse arretiert ist und dass in die Hülse zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Ausnehmungen eingearbeitet sind, in die die beiden Zapfen des Bügelverschlusses im montierten Zustand verschwenkbar gehalten sind.These objects are achieved according to the invention in that a sleeve is arrested in the region of the mouthpiece and that two diametrically opposite recesses are incorporated in the sleeve, in which the two pins of the clip closure are pivotably held in the mounted state.
Dadurch, dass die Hülse aus einem elastomeren, semielastischen oder biegefesten Kunststoff hergestellt ist, wird erreicht, dass deren Gewichtskraft bezogen auf das von der Hülse eingenommene Volumen geringer bemessen ist als die Gewichtskraft, die durch das Volumen der Wandstärke des Mundstückes aus Glas vorgegeben ist, denn die Wandstärke des Mundstückes kann nunmehr um die Wandstärke der Hülse reduziert werden, so dass sowohl die Gewichtskraft der Flasche insgesamt reduziert ist, als auch die Herstellungskosten durch die Materialeinsparung verringert sind.The fact that the sleeve is made of an elastomeric, semi-elastic or resistant to bending plastic, it is achieved that their weight is based on the volume occupied by the sleeve dimensioned smaller than the weight, which is determined by the volume of the wall thickness of the mouthpiece made of glass, because the wall thickness of the mouthpiece can now be reduced by the wall thickness of the sleeve, so that both the weight of the bottle is reduced in total, as well as the production costs are reduced by the material savings.
Durch die Hülse wird zudem die Höhe des Mundstückes reduziert, so dass die Flasche nunmehr im Press-Blas-Verfahren gefertigt werden kann. Durch dieses Verfahren wird vorteilhafterweise die Wandstärke der gesamten Flasche verringert. Die Mundungshöhe des Mundstückes beträgt bei den bekannten Glas-Flaschen mit Bügelverschluss etwa 36 mm und bei der erfindungsgemäßen Glas-Flasche noch 6 mm.Through the sleeve, the height of the mouthpiece is also reduced, so that the bottle can now be manufactured by the press-blow process. By this method, the wall thickness of the entire bottle is advantageously reduced. The mouth height of the mouthpiece is about 36 mm in the known glass bottles with clip closure and 6 mm in the glass bottle according to the invention.
Als eine erste Alternative zur Anbringung der Hülse an dem Mundstück ist vorgesehen, dass die Innenmantelfläche der Hülse kegelstumpfartig ausgebildet ist und dass die Außenkontur des Mundstückes an die Innenkontur der Hülse angepasst ist. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Innenmantelfläche der Hülse in Richtung der Flasche konisch erweitert ist, da dadurch die Hülse auf das Mundstück aufgeschoben werden kann und folglich durch die geometrische Ausgestaltung der Mantelfläche und die entsprechend dazu angepasste Ausgestaltung der Innenmantelfläche der Hülse auf der Außenmantelfläche des Mundstückes verspannt gehalten ist.As a first alternative for attaching the sleeve to the mouthpiece, it is provided that the inner lateral surface of the sleeve is frustoconical and that the outer contour of the mouthpiece is adapted to the inner contour of the sleeve. It is particularly advantageous if the inner lateral surface of the sleeve is flared in the direction of the bottle, since thereby the sleeve can be pushed onto the mouthpiece and consequently by the geometric configuration of the lateral surface and the correspondingly adapted configuration of the inner lateral surface of the sleeve on the outer circumferential surface of the Mouthpiece is held clamped.
Um die Fixierung der Hülse auf der Mantelfläche des Mundstückes über einen langen Zeitraum und auch bei Erschütterungen, Temperaturschwankungen und sonstigen die Befestigung zwischen dem Mundstück und der Hülse negativ beeinflussenden äußeren Bedingungen zuverlässig zu gestalten, ist vorgesehen, dass seitlich neben der Ausgussöffnung eine oder mehrere L-förmig ausgestaltete Haltenasen an dem Mundstück angeformt ist bzw. sind, durch die die Hülse in Form einer Hinterschneidung an dem Mundstück im montierten Zustand fixiert ist.To make the fixation of the sleeve on the lateral surface of the mouthpiece over a long period of time and even with shocks, temperature fluctuations and other the attachment between the mouthpiece and the sleeve negative influencing external conditions reliably, it is provided that laterally adjacent to the spout one or more L. -shaped configured holding lugs on the mouthpiece is or are, by which the sleeve is fixed in the form of an undercut on the mouthpiece in the assembled state.
Als eine zweite Alternative zur Halterung der Hülse an dem Mundstück ist auf der Mantelfläche des Mundstückes ein Außengewinde eingearbeitet und in die Innenkontur der Hülse ein mit dem Außengewinde korrespondierendes Innengewinde vorgesehen, so dass die Hülse durch Aufschrauben auf das Mundstück an diesem fixiert ist.As a second alternative for holding the sleeve on the mouthpiece, an external thread is incorporated on the lateral surface of the mouthpiece and provided in the inner contour of the sleeve with the external thread corresponding internal thread, so that the sleeve is fixed by screwing on the mouthpiece at this.
Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Die aus Kunststoff hergestellte Hülse kann zuverlässig und über einen längeren Zeitraum, und zwar auch bei Temperaturschwankungen, Erschütterungen und sonstigen Krafteinflüssen, die auf die Flasche und die Hülse einwirken, zuverlässig an dem Mundstück fixiert werden, so dass über die Hülse als Zwischenglied der Bügelverschluss im Bereich der Ausgussöffnung verspannbar durch diese gehalten ist. Somit kann die Wandstärke des Mundstückes erheblich reduziert werden, wodurch Glasmaterial zur Fertigung der Flasche eingespart ist. Aufgrund der geringeren Wandstärke des Mundstückes ist die Gewichtskraft der Flasche insgesamt vermindert, denn die Gewichtskraft der Kunststoff-Hülse ist gegenüber dem eingesparten Glasvolumen geringer bemessen.The sleeve made of plastic can reliably and over a prolonged period, even with temperature fluctuations, shocks and other forces acting on the bottle and the sleeve, be reliably fixed to the mouthpiece, so that on the sleeve as an intermediate link of the strap closure in Area of the spout opening clamped by this is held. Thus, the wall thickness of the mouthpiece can be significantly reduced, whereby glass material is saved for the production of the bottle. Due to the smaller wall thickness of the mouthpiece, the weight of the bottle is reduced overall, because the weight of the plastic sleeve is smaller compared to the glass volume saved.
Darüber hinaus kann der Bügelverschluss bereits werksseitig an der Hülse vormontiert werden, um anschließend auf die Mantelfläche des Mundstückes aufgeschoben bzw. aufgeschraubt zu werden. Bei den an dem aus Glas hergestellten Mundstück der Flasche angebrachten Bügelverschluss ist die Montage besonders zeitaufwändig, da die beiden Zapfen des Bügelverschlusses zunächst aufzubiegen sind und diese anschließend in die Wandung des Mundstückes einzuschnappen und dort durch Zusammenbiegen zu fixieren sind. Diese Montageschritte können nunmehr in besonders vorteilhafter Weise vor der Anbringung der Hülse an dem Mundstück der Flasche vorgenommen werden, so dass hierdurch eine erhebliche Zeiteinsparung für die Montage des Bügelverschlusses erzielt wird.In addition, the strap closure can be factory pre-assembled on the sleeve to be subsequently pushed or screwed onto the lateral surface of the mouthpiece. When mounted on the glass mouthpiece of the bottle-mounted clip closure assembly is particularly time-consuming, since the two pins of the clip closure are first aufzubiegen and then snap these into the wall of the mouthpiece and fix there by bending together. These assembly steps can now be made in a particularly advantageous manner prior to attachment of the sleeve to the mouthpiece of the bottle, so that in this way a considerable time savings for the assembly of the swing top closure is achieved.
Darüber hinaus ist besonders vorteilhaft, dass die Hülse elastisch, semielastisch oder biegeweich ausgestaltet ist, denn dadurch kann diese sowohl vor deren Anbringung an dem Mundstück als auch nach dem Aufschieben bzw. Aufschrauben der Hülse auf das Mundstück zusammengedrückt werden, so dass die beiden zueinander beabstandeten Zapfen des Bügelverschlusses nicht aufzuweiten sind, um diese in die beiden diametral gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen der Hülse einrasten zu können. Auch durch diese Materialeigenschaft der Hülse wird somit die Montage des Bügelverschlusses an der Flasche vereinfacht, so dass Montagezeit und besondere technische Maßnahmen für die Montage des Bügelverschlusses an der Flasche entfallen.Moreover, it is particularly advantageous that the sleeve is designed to be elastic, semi-elastic or pliable, because this can be compressed both before their attachment to the mouthpiece and after pushing or screwing the sleeve on the mouthpiece, so that the two spaced apart Pins of the swing-top closure are not expandable in order to lock them in the two diametrically opposite recesses of the sleeve can. Also by this material property of the sleeve is thus the mounting of the swing-top closure on the Bottle simplified, so that assembly time and special technical measures for the installation of the swing top closure omitted on the bottle.

Die geometrische Abmessung des Mundstückes 2 beträgt etwa 6 mm, gemessen von der Stirnseite 21 der Ausgussöffnung 3. Aufgrund dieser reduzierten Länge des Mundstückes 2 kann die Flasche im Press-Blas-Verfahren hergestellt werden, so dass deren Wandstärke gegenüber Glas-Flaschen, die nach dem Blas-Blas-Verfahren gefertigt sind, um einen bestimmten Wert, der abhängig von der Mindestwandstärke ist, reduziert ist. Somit kann bereits durch die Anwendung eines anderen Herstellungsverfahrens Glasmaterial eingespart werden. Die Gewichtskraft der Flasche 1 ist verringert und deren Produktionskosten gesenkt.The geometric dimension of the
Um die Ausgussöffnung 3 zu verschließen, ist ein Bügelverschluss 4 vorgesehen, der im wesentlichen zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Zapfen 5 aufweist, die an einem Metallrahmen 8 angeformt sind. Die beiden Zapfen 5 bilden somit eine gemeinsame Achse; gegenüberliegend zu den Zapfen 5 ist an dem Metallrahmen 8 eine Dichtungskappe 9 angebracht, durch die die Ausgussöffnung 3 verschlossen werden kann.In order to close the
Den
Zur Halterung des Zapfens an der Hülse 11 sind auf der Außenseite der Hülse 11 zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Ausnehmungen 12 eingearbeitet, die eine gemeinsame Achse 20 bilden. In die Ausnehmungen 12 wird jeweils einer der Zapfen 5 eingesteckt. Dies kann bereits als Vormontageschritt erfolgen, indem die aus einem elastischen oder biegeweichen Material gefertigte Hülse 11 zusammengepresst wird, um den Abstand zwischen den beiden Ausnehmungen 12 zu verringern, so dass die voneinander beabstandeten Zapfen 5 ohne weitere Hilfsmittel in die Ausnehmungen 12 eingerastet werden können.For holding the pin on the
Die Innenmantelfläche der Hülse 11 ist konisch verjüngend ausgebildet, und zwar bezogen auf die von der Flasche 1 gebildete Längsachse 6, denn der Innendurchmesser der Hülse 11 der benachbart zu dem Flaschenkörper 1 im montierten Zustand verläuft, ist größer ausgestaltet als der Innendurchmesser, der im Bereich der Ausgussöffnung 3 angeordnet ist. Die Außenmantelfläche des Mundstückes 2 ist an die Innenkontur der Hülse 11 angepasst, so dass die Hülse 11 auf die Außenmantelfläche des Mundstückes 2 aufgeschoben werden kann und aufgrund der geometrischen Ausgestaltungen der Innen- und Außendurchmesser der Hülse 11 bzw. des Mundstückes 2 wird die Hülse 11 auf der Außenmantelfläche des Mundstückes 2 verspannt gehalten. Um dennoch ein Verrutschen der Hülse 11 in Richtung des Flaschenkörpers der Flasche 1 zu verhindern, ist im Übergangsbereich, also zwischen dem Flaschenkörper und dem Mundstück 2, ein Bund 18 angeformt, der als Anschlag für die Hülse 11 dient, so dass diese an diesem anliegt und abgestützt ist.The inner circumferential surface of the

Dabei kann der Bügelverschluss 5 bereits vor dem Aufschieben der Hülse 11 auf das Mundstück 2 an dieser fixiert sein oder auch nachträglich, also nachdem die Hülse 11 bereits an dem Mundstück 2 aufgeschoben ist, in die Ausnehmungen 12 eingeclipst werden.In this case, the
Die beiden Zapfen 5 sind verschwenkbar in der jeweiligen Ausnehmung 12 gehalten. Die von den beiden Ausnehmungen 12 gebildete Achse 20 stellt somit die Drehachse für die Zapfen 5 dar.The two

Um eine gewisse Vorspannung für den Bereich der Hülse 11 zu erzeugen, der von dem Mundstück 2 absteht, ist auf der Außenseite des Mundstückes 2 ein Vorsprung 17 angeformt, der in eine in die Innenseite der Hülse 11 eingearbeitete Nut 7 eingreift und durch den der dem Flaschenkörper der Flasche 1 zugewandten Bereich der Hülse 11 nach außen abgedrückt ist. Dadurch wird die Vorspannung erreicht mit der die Zapfen 5 des Bügelverschlusses 4 in den beiden diametral gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 12 der Hülse 11 gehalten sind.In order to produce a certain bias for the region of the
Durch die Verrastung des Vorsprunges 17 in der Nut 7 wird zudem der Weg begrenzt, den die Hülse 11 beim Aufdrehen auf das Außengewinde 13 zurücklegt, sodass die Hülse 11 und folglich der Bügelverschluss 4 exakt in Bezug auf das Flaschen-Etikett ausgerichtet ist.By locking the
Des Weiteren sind zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Freisparungen 19 in die Hülse 11, eingearbeitet deren Konturenverlauf zueinander angepresst und wellen- oder rechteckförmig ausgestaltet ist, sodass die Hülse 11 zusammengedrückt werden kann. Die beiden Freisparungen 19 verlaufen parallel zu der Achse 20, wodurch der Abstand zwischen den beiden Ausnehmungen 12 verringert werden kann, um die Zapfen 5 in diese einzuklipsen.Furthermore, two diametrically
Zur Montage des Bügelverschlusses 4 kann nämlich der Abstand zwischen den beiden Ausnehmungen 12 verringert werden, indem das freie Ende der Hülse 11 zusammengepresst wird. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass die Zapfen 5 des Bügelverschlusses 4 ohne weiteres in die Ausnehmungen 12 eingeklipst werden können, ohne dass zusätzliche technische Hilfsmittel zur Aufweitung der Zapfen 5 erforderlich sind.For mounting the
