Definitions

  • the sealing of the packaging is usually carried out by one of two known methods. For example, by applying pressure and heat, the sealing film is glued or welded directly onto the edge of a container opening before the lid is placed on the container opening. In another method, the sealing film is first placed in the lid and then pressed when mounted on the container opening lid against the edge of the container opening, before the bonding or welding of the sealing film with the edge of the container opening, for example, is made inductively.
  • the latter inductive sealing has the advantage that it can be done in the filling line of production with very short sealing times.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved sealing technique for containers, which manages without a support plate for the sealing film.
  • DE 199 51 331 discloses a lid, package and method of sealing according to the preambles of claims 1, 9 and 11.
  • the sealing film is a metal foil, which in particular contains aluminum, which is provided on both sides with a plastic layer for inductive fixing of the film.
  • a sealing film 26 is arranged in the interior of the lid 16, more precisely on the side of the closure plate 18 facing the container 10, a sealing film 26 is arranged.
  • This sealing film 26 is fixed directly to the lid 16 via a welding or adhesive connection 28.
  • the lid 16 is also provided on the container 10 facing side of its closure plate 18 with a substantially annular designed web 30 and the sealing film 26 is fixed with its side facing away from the container 10 on this web 30.
  • This fixing connection 28 between the sealing film 26 and the web 30 of the cover 16 can optionally be carried out essentially over the entire web region or only in sections (eg adhesive dots).
  • Fig. 1B indicated correspond to the shape and size of the web 30 of the lid 16 in the radial direction (right / left direction in Fig. 1A and 1B In this way it is achieved that the sealing surface 26 is pressed with screwed lid 16 substantially uniformly and completely against the edge 14 of the container opening 12, so that a better or stronger sealing compound 34 between the Sealing film 26 and the edge 14 can be achieved.
  • the distance between the sealing film 26 and the internal thread 24 of the lid 16 in comparison to the embodiment of Fig. 1A and 1B increased. Consequently, the positioning of the external thread 22 on the edge 14 of the container opening 12 must be adjusted accordingly.
  • the position of the internal thread 24 on the cover 16 or the radial dimension of the edge portion 20 of the lid 16 can be adapted to the container 10 accordingly.
