Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a one- or multi-part plastic closure for attachment to the container neck of a flexible bottle for dispensing thixotropic liquids, having a lower part with a jacket wall and a cover surface in which a pouring opening is formed.
  • Thixotropic liquids are liquids with non-Newtonian flow behavior.
  • a typical example of such a liquid is ketchup.
  • various liquid soaps have thixotropic behavior, as do many dispersions.
  • Today, such liquids are offered in flexible plastic containers which are provided with closures with a so-called closure membrane. Closures with a so-called closure membrane have become known in many embodiments. It is for example on the EP-A-545,678 , the EP-A-442,379 or even the US-A-2 175 052 directed.
  • the great advantage of closures with a sealing membrane is that the already opened container can be kept upside down without the liquid flowing out.
  • the sealing membrane By pressure on the flexible bottle the sealing membrane is deformed, as with the WO 2006/11915 or the most slit-shaped opening spreads, and the liquid can be pressed out of the bottle, as shown by the aforementioned documents.
  • the problem here is that the firmer the membrane is held, the better the closing force and the faster the closure closes when the pressure on the Container wears off. This creates over time in the container ever greater negative pressure, so that on the one hand the bottle deforms more and more during use and also the required pressure for dispensing the liquid must be increased. If the closure membrane is less taut, then at least partially a certain amount of the displaced air can flow back into the container, but at the same time the closure tends to drip. In addition, the tighter the sealing membrane is stretched, the more the closure tends to open explosively under pressure, so that a jet emerges at high speed and prone accordingly to spraying.
  • the US-A-4460101 shows a multi-part screw cap of a flexible container for dispensing liquids, with a bottom part with a jacket wall and a top surface having a spout opening. Below the top surface and spaced therefrom is a support surface with axially extending apertures which blocks the axial passage from the container neck to the spout opening.
  • the plastic closures with closure membrane mentioned here are for example from the EP 1 216 932 or the DE-A-196 406 29 known.
  • closures of this type are not only suitable for thixotropic liquids, but practically for all liquids with the exception of very low-viscosity liquids or liquids with a carbon dioxide content.
  • Thixotropy refers to the property of a non-Newtonian fluid in which, with constant shearing, the viscosity degrades over a certain period of time. After exposure to the shear stress, the initial viscosity is rebuilt.
  • the plastic closure is designated overall as 1 and the lower part with 2.
  • the lower part 2 has a jacket wall 3 which is terminated terminally by a cover surface 4.
  • a spout opening 5 is formed in the top surface 4.
  • the top surface 4 may, as shown in the figures, be provided with a survey 7. If such an elevation 7 is not desired, however, the same invention can readily be realized by laying practically the entire structure of the elevation 7 with all elements accommodated therein below the top surface 4 in the direction of the bottleneck. On such a variant is in the drawing but waived. This would in principle lead to the same representation, in which only the survey is altogether offset so far down to the surface or top surface 4 'with the top surface 4 of the lower part 2 is aligned.
  • an annular retaining bead 10 is formed on the underside of the top surface 4. This serves only the function of the seal against the bottle neck and can serve for fastening a sealing film 30.
  • annular groove 9 is formed around the spout opening 5 in the elevation 7 in its top surface 4 '.
  • the elevation 7 has a circumferential casing wall 20.
  • a plurality of struts 21 integrally formed, which also extend in the axial direction. These axial struts 21 are in the FIG. 2 shown running in the sectional plane. Usually one will provide about four such struts 21.
  • These struts hold an upwardly closed, hollow pin 22.
  • the hollow pin 22 has a cover 23.
  • the pin 22 is at least approximately the same size in diameter as the spout opening. 5
  • partial elements of the support surface 12 are formed on the inside of the peripheral jacket wall 20 of the elevation 7. These sub-elements are designed here as a pivotable tongues 24. These tongues 24, which, as already mentioned, are partial elements of the support surface 12, are preferably connected to the inner surface of the annular jacket wall 20 of the elevation 7 via film hinges 25. Thanks These flexible hinges 25, the tongues 24 can move toward the pin 22 and jam with the hollow pin 22. Thus, a frictional connection.
  • a circumferential support bead 26 is integrally formed on the sealing pin. This Stitzwulst 26 ensures that the tongues 24 are not only frictionally, but also latching and thus positively held on the hollow pin 22.
  • the tongues could be designed so that they come to rest completely sealed against each other. If this were the case, then 24 axially extending through holes 13 would have to be formed in the tongues. Although this is a possible variant, but manufacturing technology rather complex. Instead, the tongues 24 are designed somewhat narrower, so that between them gap-shaped through holes 27 remain free. These gap-shaped through holes 27 are axially extending through holes.
  • the support surface 12 on the one hand from the cover 23 of the hollow pin 22 and on the other hand from the tongues 24, which are part elements of this support surface 12.
  • the show Figures 1 and 2 the manufacturing position of the lower part 2.
  • the tongues 24 extend obliquely downwards to the center axis.
  • the space 17 is emptied in the re-deformation of the flexible bottle practically according to the Venturi principle.
  • the cross-sectional area of the spout opening 5 must be smaller than the sum of the areas of the slit-shaped through-openings 27.
  • the through-openings 27 must therefore be larger in the outflow direction than the cross-sectional area of the spout opening 5. In the outflow direction, this is ensured.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 a one-piece hinge closure made of plastic.
  • the cover 6 is shown here via a film hinge 18 with laterally arranged clamping bands 19.
  • the plastic closure is a snap hinge closure.
  • a sealing pin 28 is formed in the cover 6 which engages sealingly in the pouring opening 5 in the closed state of the closure.
  • a two-part plastic closure is shown in a vertical diametral section in the closed state. This is not a hinged or snap hinge closure, but a simple screw cap.
  • FIG. 6 showing a section along the line AA, the arrangement of the struts 21 is clearly visible.
  • this embodiment provides a perspective view, as in FIG. 8 shown, slightly different in the unassembled state. Otherwise, this embodiment also corresponds to the FIGS. 5 to 10 practically the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 to 4 , By the different Arrangement of the tongues 24 extend the support surfaces differently in the two variants mentioned.
  • the support surface 12 extends funnel-shaped upward, as in the FIGS. 3 and 4 it can be seen, while in the other case, the support surface 12 is indeed designed funnel-shaped, however, with the wide opening to the bottleneck out. However, this has no effect on the mode of action of the plastic closure according to the invention.
