Definitions

• This invention relates to a closure which itself contains a component which is metered the first time the closure is opened to the contents of a mixing container equipped with this closure.
• the metering and mixing is thus inevitably at the first opening of the closure and thus before the first application of the mixture.
• closures that contain, for example, a foil-sealed on its bottom capsule, which is then cut when opening the shutter from below, so that the capsule contents fall down into the container.
• FR-25 69 666 shows an example of such a closure.
• the separate capsules that can be filled according to this system are quite limited in their volume, as measured by the diameter of the closure.
• the known solutions do not allow to meter pasty components, because they are only designed for liquid fillers that fall by gravity alone down into the underlying mixing container. In the case of a pasty mass, however, or a very viscous component, the rapid and safe dropping down is not ensured.
• the object of the present invention is to provide, starting from this prior art, an improved solution, this closure should accommodate a much larger component amount in relation to the closure diameter, and this may also be viscous to pasty, and yet, when the closure is first opened, this component reliably falls down into the contents of a mixing container equipped with the closure.
• a closure with dispenser rotary cap for dosing a component in the contents of a mixing container equipped with it before use, which contains a separately filled folding container, which is held below by resilient spacers via stationary puncture and from above by means a pressed by turning the dispenser rotating cap downwards press ring initially pressed on the lancing teeth, thereby pierceable and afterwards squeezed by further downward screwing of the press ring and thus pressed out, so that its contents fall into the underlying mixing container.

• Figure 1 shows the various items of the closure arranged on a common axis.
• the mixing container 17 in which a first filling component is present in grosserer amount, and in which a second component to be mixed.
• a Falt aser- sleeve 4 can be seen, can be seen on the same the actual folding container 3, which contains the second component.
• This folding container 3 is filled separately and then inserted from above into the folding container sleeve 4.
• a press ring 2 is shown and at the top, finally, the dispenser rotary cap 1 with funnel-shaped spout.
• Figure 2 shows these individual parts in a slightly different angle, namely seen obliquely from above.
• the Falt matterser sleeve 4 in its interior helical guide ribs 13, which is a left-handed thread.
• the pressing ring 2 fits into the interior of the folding container sleeve 4 and on its outer side guide ribs 12 are formed, which fit to the guide ribs 13 in the interior of the folding container sleeve 4. If the pressing ring 2 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction inside the folding container sleeve 4, it simultaneously shifts downwards in the interior of the folding container sleeve 4 in the axial direction.
• the inside of the Falt matterser- sleeve 4 may be equipped with such guide ribs 13, which have a progressively increasing steepness downwards, and in which the guide ribs 12 fit on the outside of the press ring 2.
• a larger pressing force can be generated, which later decreases degressively for mere and faster pressing of the contents.
• These drivers 15 engage in the assembled state of the closure in free passages 11 in the press ring 2, so that the driver 15 can exert a torque on him.
• the dispenser rotary cap 1 forms on its upper side a funnel-shaped spout 16, which terminates in a refractive tip 9.
• the breaking point 9 consists of a break-out of the spout muzzle disc or thin spot on which a cross-sectionally cross-shaped shear-handle 19 is formed. If this is rotated relative to the dispenser-turning cap 1, the breaking point 9 shears off, that is, the disc or thin spot is broken out of the mouth and the spout 16 is open at the front.
• the dispenser rotary cap 1 is sealingly alsticianbar on the upper edge of the Falt matterser sleeve 4, and rotatable to open the closure in the mounted state relative to the Falt permittinger sleeve 4.
• the dispenser rotary cap 1 includes a corrugated rotary ring 20, where it can be grasped and rotated.
• the folding container 3 is here shown laterally displaced, to indicate that it affects separately and then only from above into the Falt permittinger sleeve 4 is used.
• FIG. 3 shows the folding container sleeve 4, the pressing ring 2 and the dispenser rotating cap 1 in an enlarged view, in order to better identify the details.
• this Falt matterser- sleeve 4 On its outer side, near the upper edge, this Falt matterser- sleeve 4 has a shoulder 23, formed on the outer edge of an upstanding ring 21 in the manner of a balustrade on the outer shell is.
• This ring 21 is interrupted at one point and forms a gap 22.
• the donor rotary cap 1 clicks with its lower edge on the shoulder 23 and the locking element 6 comes to lie in the gap 22 on the ring 21 ,
• the blocking element 6 prevents the dispenser-turning cap 1 on the folding container sleeve 4 can be rotated as long as this locking element 6 is not broken away.
• the donor rotary cap 1 runs in a funnel-shaped spout 16, which forms a refractive tip 9 at its tip, that is, at the end of the spout 16 a disc 27 or thin spot in the mouth is breakable. On this disc 27 sits a shear-handle 19. By turning this handle 19, the disc 27 or thin spot is broken out of the spout-mouth and releases the flow through the spout 16.
• the pressing ring 2 is shown. This forms a short tube section, on the outside of guide elements 12 are arranged, which match the guide ribs 13 in the interior of the folding container sleeve 4.
• a curved press cap 24 is arranged, which is held by four radial webs 25. Between the outer edge of the press cap 24 and the press ring 2 there are free passages 11, in which the driver 15 can engage, which are integrally formed at the bottom of the dispenser rotary cap 1 down.
• FIG. 4 shows the folding container sleeve 4, the pressing ring 2 and the dispenser rotating cap
• Figure 8 shows the assembled and mounted on a mixing container 17 closure during the pressing of the folding container 3.
• the dispenser rotary cap 1 is rotated from above viewed in the counterclockwise direction, and their drivers 15 put the press ring 2 in a similar rotation. However, this causes the pressure ring 2 is pushed inside the Falt matterser sleeve 4 down, while depressing the folding container 3 in the Falt matterser sleeve 4 with its press cap 24, wherein the resilient spacer elements 7 are pushed away to the outside. Finally, the folding container 3 is pressed over the underlying piercing teeth 8, which leads to the slitting of the folding container 3.
• FIG. 9 shows the final state of the pressing out of the folding container 3.
• the pressing ring 2 has now reached the bottom of the folding container sleeve 4 and the folding container 3 is completely squeezed together.
• the contents of the folding container 3 is now below in the mixing container 17 and is mixed with the contents of the same.
• the mixing container 17 can be taken if necessary and shaken well, because the closure is still tight towards the outside, so then then the two components are intimately mixed, where such an active mixture by shaking is necessary.
• the shear-handle 19 of the breaking tip 9 is taken and rotated and thus the disc 27 or thin spot at the front end of the spout 16 broken.
• the mixing container 17 may be toppled, as shown in FIG.
• the mixed liquid content flows through the passages 10 on the collapsible container sleeve 4 in the dispenser rotary cap 1 and through the spout 16 to the outside.
