Definitions
- the invention relates to a plastic injection-molded screw cap with a cap base, a cap wall and a cap opening, wherein on the cap wall, an internal thread with at least one thread is formed, wherein further the thread is formed over its length with different cross-section, and, starting at the cap opening, extends over 360 ° or more.
- screw caps complex requirements are made. They are applied by machine to bottles, so they should be easy to handle in terms of the required forces. Often, such screw caps are also connected to a guarantee strip. In the course of unscrewing an effective separation of the guarantee band should be made. In addition, they should be able to be applied as securely as possible to the containers, in particular bottles. Last but not least, they should be easy to handle by the consumer.
- an object is to provide a manufactured by plastic injection molding screw cap that meets as much as possible the complex requirements that are placed on such screw caps in machine application and also in the consumer application.
- a solution to the problem is initially given by the fact that the thread over a length corresponding to 120 ° or more, seen from the cap opening, has a second cross-section, which is larger in area as the first cross section, which first cross section is formed in a length corresponding to from 0 ° to 100 ° or more, starting from the cap opening.
- the second cross section is given only after 90 ° - 200 ° or more. That is, preferably about half a turn or a little more When screwing another cross-section (initially alone) with mating thread engaged.
- the flanks of the second cross section may include different angles with a horizontal. This means that they are formed asymmetrically with respect to the horizontal. As a result, the vote can be set specifically to the mating thread.
- flank of the second cross section facing the cap opening (the lower flank) encloses a larger angle with the horizontal than the flank facing the cap base (upper flank).
- the angle of the lower flank can be between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably 50 °.
- the angle of the upper flank can be between 20 ° and 35 °, preferably 25 °.
- the first cross-section preferably has a lower flank angle, which includes a smaller angle with a horizontal than the upper flank angle of the first cross-section. Since the screw cap when screwing with the first cross section first comes into contact with the mating thread, for example, the bottle neck, can be achieved by such a setting of a comparatively flat angle favorable tilt stability. This, however, with a relatively slight initial unscrewing, which favors the combination of the threads in the course of unscrewing.
- the lower flank angle of the first cross section is preferably between 0 ° and 20 °, more preferably at 5 °. It is further preferred that the first cross section extends over 50 ° to 100 ° or more. Preferably even over 120 °. The latter in any case, if, as explained below, a segmentation of the thread is provided and this peripheral portion corresponds to a segment. Should a segment be chosen to be larger, the first cross section mentioned is preferably also selected over a longer section.
- a third cross section is formed between the first and the second cross-section.
- This third cross-section preferably corresponds to the "standard" cross-section customary so far for screw caps. It is preferred in this case that the third cross section has flanks with the same flank angles relative to a horizontal.
- the flank angle of the third cross-section is in detail preferably between 20 ° and 35 °, more preferably at 25 °.
- the second cross section is followed by a section corresponding to the third cross section, that is to say a section corresponding to the standard cross section.
- the thread is divided into individual segments.
- the interspaces thus provided are used in a known manner to allow overpressure reduction in the course of unscrewing or screwing the screw cap.
- a segment may preferably extend over 100 ° to 140 °, more preferably over 120 °.
- a segment is formed in each case according to a first, second or third cross-section. In this case, however, it is not excluded, although preferably not provided, for a segment outside one or more of the areas defined above to have yet another cross-sectional shape.
- the invention also provides a screw cap produced by the plastic injection molding method with a cap base, a cap wall and a cap opening, wherein the cap wall is formed with an internal thread having one or more threads, wherein the screw cap is further formed on the opening side with a tamper-evident ring, after the tamper-evident ring having internally projecting blocking cam and a blocking cam has two circumferentially adjacent bumps or the blocking cam is formed in the circumferential direction as a blocking rib.
- the invention has the object to form such a screw cap with tamper evident ring.
- the bumps have a different height in relation to an extension inwards or the blocking rib has over its extension at least two regions which differ in terms of their extent inwards.
- the bumps or ribs are used in the course of unscrewing, at a corresponding radial projection of the associated mouth, such as a bottle to come to rest and be prevented by this concern then in a further vertical movement, whereupon the tearing takes place.
- this attack must first be overcome in the course of screwing.
- the cam has different distances in the starting area to a plane forming the cap opening such that one of the bumps or one of the rib sections starts closer to the opening plane than the other.
- the individual cams provided in the circumferential direction are thus again formed at different distances from the cap opening.
- This can be a stepwise offset or a skew be running. This results in a favorable influence on the required torque when screwing.
- the desired interaction with the counter-protrusion during unscrewing results, since the cooperation with the bottle-side projection, which causes the guarantee ring to be torn off when the closure cap is unscrewed, lies on the same level with respect to all humps.
- the bump or rib portion of greater height begins closer to the opening plane.
- this does not mean that at the beginning of unscrewing necessarily a higher torque is required immediately.
- the wedge angle is the same in each case, which is accompanied by the fact that the humps starting closer to the cap opening extend further radially inward than the other humps
- 1 is a perspective view from below of the screw cap.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the screw cap according to FIG. 1, cut along the line II-II and FIG Fig. 3 shows an angling of the thread of the embodiment with each segment associated cross-sectional view.
- FIG. 1 With reference to FIG. 1, there is illustrated and described a screw cap 1 produced by a plastic injection process with a cap base 2 and a cap wall 3. Opposite the cap base 2 is a cap opening 4 or, if the guarantee strip is included, 4 1 see. Figure 2, formed.
- an internal thread 5 is formed, which in the embodiment has a (single) continuous, although, as described below, divided into segments, thread.
- the thread is over its length, i. in the embodiment, depending on the segment or a number of several segments differently, formed with different cross-section. Reference should be made in particular to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the thread initially begins with a section a (see Figure 3), which corresponds to a first segment of the thread in the embodiment, which region a has a first cross-section.
- This first cross-section Ql can be seen in FIG. 2, but also shown separately again in FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows a development of the thread turn, with, for clarity, exaggerated pitch or pitch (angle .beta.).
- a realistic angle ß for the pitch is about 2 °.
- the cross sections of the thread or the segments are basically each formed V-shaped, with a rounded merge on the V Point pointing radially inward. Also at the V-ends are rounded, viewed from the inside of the cap, concave curves resulting outlets of V-flanks.
- the cross section Ql has, with respect to its lower edge Fl, a flank angle ⁇ l which is comparatively small.
- the flank angle ⁇ l is about 5 ° - 5.5 °.
- This comparatively small flank angle which includes the flank with the horizontal H, leads to an approximately horizontal course of the outer surface of the lower flank of the transverse section Ql. Since this region of the thread first comes into contact with the mating thread on the bottle mouth, for example, when screwed on, this has a favorable effect with regard to a possible tilt-free placement of the screw cap on the thread.
- the upper flank angle of the cross section Ql includes with the horizontal one of the flank angle ⁇ l preferably deviating, larger flank angle ⁇ 2.
- the flank angle ⁇ 2 is about 28 ° - 29 °.
- a second section b As seen in the circumferential direction of the cap wall 3, which is referred to in the present description in each case in Umf-grads, closes after about 120 °, a second section b.
- the second section b is given by a practically (so far for a total thread turn) usual third cross-sectional profile Q3, wherein also here with respect to a horizontal H flank angle ⁇ 3 and ⁇ 4 are given.
- the flank angles ⁇ 3 and ⁇ 4 are chosen differently in the exemplary embodiment in the region of the section b. You can also choose the same. They are at 20 ° - 21 ° ( ⁇ 3) and 35 ° - 36 ° ( ⁇ 4).
- a thread region c follows, which is formed in the embodiment by three individual segments.
- a second profile Q2 is formed, which is characterized by a comparatively large profile in terms of area. It is in the embodiment area larger than the profile Ql and also preferably larger in area than profile Q3.
- the profile Q2 is characterized in that two further flank angles ⁇ 5 and ⁇ 6 are formed, where ⁇ 5 is the upper flank angle and ⁇ 6 is the lower flank angle, which preferably differ from one another.
- the lower flank angle ⁇ 6 is preferably selected larger than the upper flank angle ⁇ 5. In the embodiment, ⁇ 6 is about 46 ° - 47 ° and ⁇ 5 about 28 ° - 29 °.
- this region c extends over three segments, that is to say over 360 °, approximately the circumference of the cap wall, meaning just one complete revolution. Due to the large area selected cross-section and also by the aforementioned asymmetry, a good clawing with the mating thread in this area can be achieved. By this over an entire circumferential length extending portion c ensures that the entire cap when unscrewing the screw pitch also immediately implemented in tear height with respect to an example molded guarantee ring. The design is also important without the guarantee ring.
- the area c is adjoined by an end area d.
- the end region d is formed in the embodiment by a segment, which corresponds here to a circumferential extent of about 120 °.
- the segment of the region d in each case has a cross section Q3, as already explained.
- the angles ⁇ 1, etc. were determined in such a way that straight flank areas extending in cross-section were lengthened graphically, up to an intersection point. Through this point of intersection then the horizontal H is placed.
- the illustrated screw cap is further characterized by the molded-on tamper evident ring 6.
- the tamper-evident ring 6 is sprayed in the usual way via tear-off webs 6 of the same material with the screw cap 1.
- the tamper-evident ring 6 has inwardly projecting blocking cams 7, wherein a blocking cam 7 is composed in detail of two cusps 8, 9 formed in the circumferential direction next to each other. These humps 8, 9 merge into one another via a sidecut 10.
- the bumps 8, 9 have a different height, i. a different extension radially inwardly in the direction of the arrow P in Figure 2.
- loan is in the region of a hump 8 greater deformation required when screwing the screw over a corresponding counter projection on the bottle or container mouth than the hump 9 of the embodiment.
- the actual extent of a bump radially inward is between 0.3-0.5 mm (smaller bump) and 0.6-0.9 mm (larger bump).
- the bumps 8, 9 have different distances x and y to a plane forming the cap opening.
- the hump 8 On the other hand, the areas that are most radially inward are basically preferably located on a plane E, so that the further projection in the sense of a wedge formation, as shown, starting from the plane E a smaller wedge angle or - at different extent radially inward - results in a smaller wedge length with respect to the hump 8 than with respect to the hump 9. Insofar a compensation is achieved in terms of the necessary Aufschraub presentation.
