Abstract

A closure cap for containers has a cap mantle, a circular head portion with a central axis and a pivoting member (4). The cap mantle extends in the same general direction as the central axis, and in which, the cap mantle has a ripping-open-section extending circumferentially with respect thereto. The pivoting member (4) is attached to the ripping-open-section and extends in the same general direction as the central axis. Towards the head portion, the ripping-open-section comprises a thin region, which extends circumferentially with respect to the central axis and which forms a rotational axis. The pivoting member comprises a stop member, which extends in the same general direction as the central axis at least up to the rotational axis. The form of the stop member and its relative, spaced position with respect to the head portion are such that pivoting of the pivoting member around the rotational axis causes the stop member to lie against the head portion.

Description

The invention relates to a closure cap according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

The publication WO 2005/115865 A1 discloses a cap for containers and bottles. The cap designed as a guarantee screw cap consists of a screw cap, which includes a cylindrical jacket with internal thread, as well as an annular guarantee strip, which is connected via predetermined breaking webs with the free edge of the shell. When first opening the Garantieschraubverschlusses the screw cap is rotated and thereby raised, whereas the attached to the guarantee band, located on the inside of the guarantee strip bead are pending and retained on the tamper evident ring of the container neck, so that the predetermined breaking webs break at some point during opening. It can thus be seen from the cracked predetermined breaking webs that the bottle or the guarantee screw cap has already been opened once.

The above-mentioned cap has the disadvantage that it is rather unsuitable for certain containers and / or certain drinks. In addition, it is difficult to see whether the cap has already been opened once.

The publication EP 0322366 A2 discloses another cap for bottles. This cap has the disadvantage that the opening of the cap is cumbersome and uncontrolled, and that in particular, when the contents of the bottle are under pressure, there is a risk of the cap flying off in an uncontrolled manner during opening.

Presentation of the invention

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a more advantageous cap, the opening is also better recognizable.

This object is achieved with a closure cap having the features of claim 1. The dependent claims 2 to 15 relate to further advantageous embodiments.

The object is achieved in particular with a closure cap for closing containers, consisting of a cap skirt, a circular head part with a central axis and a pivoting part, wherein the cap skirt extending from the head part in the direction of the central axis, and wherein the cap skirt with respect to the central axis in The tear-away portion extending in the circumferential direction, wherein the pivoting part is connected to the tear-open portion and extending in the direction of the central axis, wherein the tear-open portion towards the head portion has a relative to the central axis in the circumferential direction thin spot which forms an axis of rotation, and wherein the pivot member comprises a stop member , which extends in the direction of the center axis at least up to the axis of rotation, wherein the stop member is configured and spaced relative to the head part, that pivoting of the pivoting part about the axis of rotation z ur consequence has that the stop member rests on the head part.

The closure cap according to the invention has a tear-open section and a pivoting part, wherein the pivoting part is connected to the tear-open section. During opening, the pivoting part is pivotable with respect to the remaining closure cap, so that the tear-open section is at least locally damaged and in particular completely severed, as a result of which the closure cap can be at least partially opened. The pivoting part is also used during opening as a kind of integrated bottle opener by the pivoting part touches the head portion of the cap from a certain pivot position, whereby the Swivel part lever-like attacks on the headboard, which facilitates the complete lifting of the cap. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the closure cap, after the pivoting part touches the head part of the closure cap, is slightly raised relative to the outlet opening of the bottle, preferably on the side on which the pivoting part is located, so that a fluid flows between the interior space and the outside space of the bottle conductive channel is formed, along which fluid can escape. This embodiment has the advantage that the exhaust gas of a pressurized bottle can be controlled and deliberately carried out, in particular before the cap is completely removed. The closure cap according to the invention is preferably opened such that in a first partial movement the pivoting part is moved until the exhaust gas takes place. After completion of the exhaust gas, the pivoting part is moved further in a subsequent second partial movement, and the cap is completely removed from the bottle. This ensures that the cap does not lift uncontrollably or even like a bullet from the bottle.

In an advantageous embodiment, the tear-open section is limited by a defined, predetermined weak point, so that it tears during the pivoting of the pivoting part. This embodiment has the advantage that the closure cap serving as a guarantee closure is damaged at a defined, preferably easily visible point. In addition, this can be reduced by the force required for pivoting the pivoting part force.

In an advantageous embodiment, the pivoting part on the outside of three stiffening ribs. Preferably, the middle of the three extending in the direction of the central axis ribs to the axis of rotation D is designed to be longer than the other two ribs, the middle rib not only serves as a stiffening of the pivoting part, but also functions as an opening rib, in which this extended, middle rib during the opening of the pivoting part from a certain pivot point on Headpiece of the cap rests, and thereby lifts the cap.

In an advantageous embodiment, the pivoting part remains in a pivoted position after opening the closure cap, or in other words, the pivoting part no longer assumes the original starting position, in which the pivoting part was located before the closure cap was opened. This embodiment has the advantage that the opening of the cap can be seen immediately and clearly, even from a distance, at the position of the pivoting part with respect to the rest of the closure cap. In the unopened state, the pivoting part preferably extends in the direction of the center axis. In the open state, the pivoting part extends at an angle transversely or perpendicular to the central axis. When placed on the container cap is thus immediately apparent whether the pivot member extends in the direction of the central axis or in the direction of the container, or whether the pivot member extends obliquely with respect to the central axis or the direction of the container. In addition, the state of the weak points, which are preferably torn after opening, visually recognizable whether the cap has already been opened once.

In an advantageous embodiment, the closure cap according to the invention is designed such that it can be placed on the outlet opening of the container after opening and complete removal, in particular by snapping open, so that the container can be closed again in order to close the outlet opening, e.g. to protect against contamination. Even when re-closing the container is on the cap due to the severed weak points, and preferably also due to the obliquely projecting pivot part, easily and clearly recognizable that the cap has already been opened once.

The cap according to the invention also has the advantage that no loose guarantee strip remains on the neck of the bottle, or that during The opening does not result in a separate, loose guarantee or tear-off strap, which must be disposed of separately. Therefore, the closure cap requires less material and / or is more aesthetically pleasing for its manufacture since, when the bottle is opened, no separate warranty part, which visualizes the opening, remains on the neck of the bottle. A particular advantage of the closure cap according to the invention is the fact that the projecting pivoting part can serve as a guarantee feature, this guarantee feature being virtually integrated in the closure and also serving as an opening aid.

Particularly advantageous is the use of the closure cap according to the invention in combination with a bottle neck whose outlet opening has the geometry of a standard beer bottle. Such a standard beer bottle has an outlet opening, which usually ends in a bead-shaped thickening. Such a standard beer bottle has no thread at the outlet opening. The closure cap according to the invention thus makes it possible to form an easy-to-handle guarantee closure which can be used for such standard beer bottles. Since these caps preferably do not require an internal thread, the cap can be made very short in the direction of the central axis. In addition, no thread is required at the bottleneck, so that this can be made relatively short. The closure cap according to the invention thus enables a considerable saving of material in the production of the bottle and the closure cap, since both can be made very short in the direction of the center axis.

The cap according to the invention has the advantage that it can be applied to bottles made of glass and PET, that it is pressure-tight, and preferably can also have a gas barrier and an oxygen absorber. The closure cap according to the invention preferably consists of a plastic.

The publication WO 2005/115865 A1 discloses a rotatable cap for pressure-tight closure of bottles, wherein the cap has an oxygen absorber. This cap has the disadvantage that it is rather unsuitable for certain beverage products. This cap is out of place for the closure of beer bottles, unfamiliar and strange. The cap according to the invention has the advantage that it is particularly suitable for closing beer bottles. The closure cap according to the invention has the advantage that the classic character of a beer packaging or a beer cap can be retained for the consumer. In addition, the inventive cap allows the classic design of a beer neck can be maintained because a thread on the bottle neck is not required. The closure cap according to the invention makes it possible to close conventional beer bottles, the closure cap being designed as a guarantee closure on which an opening can be seen. In a preferred embodiment, the beer bottle can be closed again after opening with the inventive cap. Thanks to the pivoting part, the cap can also be opened without great effort and, if desired, even with a single finger.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the closure cap is designed such that it can be produced by injection molding with a simple on-off tool, which enables a very cost-effective production.

The invention will be described below with reference to several embodiments in detail.

Unlike the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, for example, only the outer two stiffening ribs 8 may be provided with a stop member 4a, or all stiffening ribs 8 may be provided with a stop member 4a. The abutment part 4a could, for example, also extend along the entire tear-open section 3a, and wherein, for example, all the stiffening ribs 8 could open into the same stop part 4a extending over the tear-open section 3a.

FIG. 3 shows in a side view in the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated cap 1 with jacket 3, pivoting part 4, stiffening ribs 8 and cam 7. In this case, the middle of the three stiffening ribs 8 is designed to extend in the direction of the center axis M longer than the two outer stiffening ribs and has the stop member 4a. The pivoting part 4 has at its lower end an actuating tab 9. On the inside of the actuating tab 9 there is a corrugation 10 protruding toward the center axis M.

FIG. 4 shows in a longitudinal section the in FIG. 3 shown closure cap 1 with jacket 3, pivoting part 4, stiffening ribs 8, 7 cam, actuating tab 9, ribbing 10 and ribs 11. In a preferred embodiment, the shell 3 on its inside two to the central axis M projecting lips 12 on. The disc-shaped head part 2 has on its inside a paragraph 13. In this case, the diameter D2 of the shoulder 13 is preferably designed larger than the diameter D 1 of the head part 2.

On the inside of the head part 2 is created by the paragraph 13 space to insert a liner 14 in the cap 1. In a preferred embodiment, the liner 14 is used in the compression molding process introduced the cap. The liner 14 meets the requirements to seal a carbonated beverage and provides the necessary gas barrier and oxygen absorber. In an advantageous embodiment of the liner 14 are located on the outer diameter of two circularly extending sealing lips 15a, 15b.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the liner 14 is inserted neither in the head part 2 nor introduced by a compression molding process, but the cap 1 is made in one piece, including the function of the liner. The necessary properties for the product in terms of density, barrier and absorber are added to the base material in the form of an additive, so that the closure cap 1 in one preferred embodiment can be produced in one piece as an injection molded part.

FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a bottle 16 with bottle neck ring 17 and attached cap 1.

FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section through a bottle 16 with attached cap 1 in the unopened state. In this case, the pivoting part 4 is close to the bottleneck. The cam 7 is configured and arranged such that it comes to lie just below the bottle neck ring 17, in particular in order to additionally secure the closure cap 1 to the container 16. In a further possible embodiment, the cam 7 of the cap 1 could also be dispensed with. The inside of the jacket 3 with the circular lips 12 is positively against the mouthpiece 18 of the container 16. The diameter of the liner 14 is designed larger than the inner diameter of the outlet opening of the bottle neck, so that the sealing lips 15a, 15b of the liner 14 abut the end face of the outlet opening. As in FIG. 6 illustrated, the cap shell 3 in a preferred embodiment in the direction of the center axis M a curved inner contour 3b, to include the lateral, bead-shaped thickening of the outlet opening of the bottle 16. As a result, the closure cap 1 can also be held securely on a pressurized bottle 16.

FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a container 16 attached to the cap 1 with pivoted by 90 degrees in the direction of B1 pivot part 4. The opening of the cap 1 is carried by the illustrated movement B1 by the operating tab 9 lifted from the surface of the container 16 and then pushed upwards becomes. The pivoting part 4 rotates about the axis of rotation D determined by the thin body 5a, wherein during the pivoting of the pivoting part 4 the tear-open section 3a is lifted, and the tear-off section 3a tears left and right limiting weak points 5. The state of the cracked weak points 5 makes it visually easy to see whether the closure has already been opened. In an advantageous embodiment, the pivot member 4 is so connected to the cap 1, that the pivot member 4, the position taken after the pivotal movement substantially retains, so that together with the state of the weak points 5 in addition in particular by the pivoted and therefore with respect to the cap 1 and the Container 16 projecting pivot part 4 is clearly and easily seen that the cap 1 has been opened. In this embodiment, the weak point or the thin point 5a during the deflection by the movement B1 irreversible and thus permanently deformed.

FIG. 8 shows a side view of the state of the cap 1 after lifting the pivot member 4 by 90 degrees in the direction of movement B1. After the pivoting part 4, the rotational movement B1, has performed around the pivot point D, the pivoting part 4 assumes a position H1 relative to the central axis M, so that the pivoting part 4, if the container 16 is set up vertically, runs in the horizontal direction. In this position, the abutment part 4 a of the central stiffening ribs 8 abuts on the head part 2 via the contact point 19. If now the pivoting part 4 is further pivoted in the direction of movement B2, the pivoting part 4 takes over the contact point 19 a kind of lever function to completely remove the cap 1 in the same manner of a bottle opener from the container 16.

FIG. 9 shows in a longitudinal section the in FIG. 8 illustrated bottle 16 with attached cap 1, the pivot member 4 is pivoted by 90 degrees in the direction of movement B1. The cap 1 is configured in a particularly preferred embodiment such that during pivoting of the pivot member 4 in the direction of movement B1, a channel 20 is formed which forms a fluid-conducting connection between the interior of the container 16 and the outer space of the container 16, so during opening the closure cap 1, the pressure can be discharged before the cap 1 is completely removed by the subsequent movement B2 of the pivoting part 4 of the wrong 16.

This embodiment has the advantage that thereby also a slow, continuous exhaust of the pressure via the channel 20 is possible. The pressure can thus escape before the cap 1 has been completely removed from the container 16. The pressure is thus already released while the cap 1 is still fixed on the jacket 3 on the container 16. As a result, during the opening of the container, at the time of the exhaust gas, an unwanted loosening of the cap 1 due to excessive internal pressure in the container 16 is avoided. In an advantageous embodiment, the exhaust gases can also be influenced by the position of the pivot member 4 by the opening and closing of the channel 20 and the opening cross section of the channel 20 is influenced by the position of the pivot member 4.

The channel 20 can be formed in various ways. In particular, the inner contour 3b and / or the elasticity of the cap skirt 3 can be configured such that during the pivoting of the pivoting part 4 initially the fluid-conducting channel 20 is formed, and only then the cap shell 3 deformed such that the cap 1 completely from the container 16th is removable.

Geometry, wall thickness and / or material of the closure cap 1 or in particular also of the liner can also be designed such that at an excessive pressure in the container 16 such a deformation occurs that forms a fluid-conducting channel 20 between the container interior and the container outer space until the excessive pressure is reduced.

In an advantageous embodiment, the inner contour 3b of the cap jacket 3 is configured such that the closure cap 1 can be snapped back onto the outlet opening of the container 16 after complete removal, so that the closure cap 1 is held. In a further advantageous embodiment, the outlet opening is preferably completely sealed. The cap 1 can be advantageously used after opening as a dust cap to keep the contents of the container 16 and preferably also the outlet opening 8 of the container 16 free of impurities.

FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of an inventive cap 1, which in contrast to the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment has a substantially narrower in the circumferential direction to the central axis M pivot part 4. In a preferred embodiment, the tear-open section 3 a substantially has the width of the pivoting part 4. Otherwise, the in FIG. 10 shown cap to open the same as that in the FIGS. 1 to 9 illustrated embodiment.

FIG. 11 shows a further embodiment of a closure cap 1, which differs from the in FIG. 1 shown closure cap 1 differs in that the head part 2 has a stopper part 2a, which advantageously extends over the width of the tear-open section 3a, and that all three stop parts 4a of the pivoting part 4 are designed to be the same length. FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal section of in FIG. 11 illustrated cap 1. The only difference to the in FIG. 4 shown longitudinal section is in FIG. 12 to see that the stop members 4a are designed shorter, and that the head part 2, the stop member 2a arranged on the left comprises. Otherwise they are in the FIGS. 4 and 12 illustrated closure caps 1 designed identically. The opening behavior of the in the FIGS. 11 and 12 shown Cap 1 is very similar to the one in FIG. 1 shown closure cap 1 by a rotational axis D is formed over the thin spot 5a, so that the pivoting part 4 is pivotable during opening relative to the head part 2, wherein the stop member 4a from a certain pivot position of the pivoting part 4 abuts the stop part 2a of the head part 2, so that the pivoting part 4 causes a leverage effect on the head part 2 and the cap shell 3. In the in the FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrated embodiment, only a single of the ribs 8 or two ribs 8 could include a stop member 4 a, which bears against the stop member 2 a of the head part 2 during opening.

In a further, not shown embodiment, the inner contour 3b of the cap skirt 3 could be designed substantially cylindrical, with a along the inner contour 3b extending internal thread, as for example in the document WO 2005/115865 is disclosed. This closure cap 1 could thus be screwed onto the outlet opening of the container 16, for example. The tear-open portion 3a extends, as in FIG FIG. 1 represented over a portion of the cap skirt 3 in the circumferential direction to the rotation axis M. The weak points 5 are designed such that there is no internal thread under the weak points 5, or that the internal thread is preferably also provided with weak points 5. When lifting the pivoting part 4 of the tear-open section 3 a is raised and thereby the weak points 5 torn, so that the closure cap 1, similar to in the FIGS. 1 to 9 represented, can be removed by the pivoting of the pivoting part 4 from the container 16.

The weak points 5 of the closure cap 1 could also be designed and arranged such that they are destroyed during a violent removal of the closure cap 1 without an actuation of the pivoting part 4.
