Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for a beverage can according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a closure is from the WO 2005/026004 A1 known.
  • the lid is arranged on the can lid at the time of completion in the factory, namely welded. If the user wishes to open the can / lid unit for the first time, he must move a tab into which the lid extends into a blocking position in which the lid is definitively released from the can lid. As an independent part, after use, the user can re-insert the lid by hand into the pouring opening.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve such a beverage can closure in terms of sealing function and operability.
  • the rotary cover is so connected captively via a groove with the can lid and at least partially formed as a curved snap disk, which is convertible by force perpendicular to the lid mirror plane from a stable first bending state by bending and after overcoming a pressure point in a stable second bending state in which the outer edge of the rotary lid to the pouring opening limiting lid edge applies with increased closing pressure and from which the snap-action disc by renewed force In its first bending state springs back (cracking-frog effect).
  • the sealing tab ensures the sealing function permanently.
  • a further increased closing pressure can be achieved, for example, by virtue of the fact that the rotary cover has a slightly larger outer diameter due to a lower deflection in the second bending state than in the first bending state.
  • the rotary cover in the second bending state, the lid covering the pouring opening slightly overlaps or under engages or engages in this, when the pouring opening limiting lid edge region, for example, groove-like, is formed.
  • the rotary lid is attached to the rivet with a fastening strap which, viewed from the snap-action disc, extends beyond the rivet and around an opposing actuating portion.
  • the aforementioned support is preferably formed integrally with the Aufdrücklasche for manufacturing reasons and partially punched out of this.
  • the support can at its end facing away from the rivet on a Umbugline be connected to the push-on tab.
  • the length of the support is less than about half the length of the push tab and greater than about one third of the length of the push tab.
  • the catch of the can lid which in all embodiments is preferably provided underneath the press-on tab on the can lid, for example as a rib or as a groove, is in this case about half to one third of the length of the push-on tab, viewed from the end of the push-on tab , In the latched locking position, the angle of the raised Aufdgurlasche to the plane of the can lid mirror is preferably between about 30 and 45 °.
  • the push-on tab can be attached to the rivet via a fastening tab punched out in some areas from the push-on tab material.
  • the rivet and / or the catch are integrally formed from the material of the can lid.
  • a guide groove for receiving an expression on the underside of the rotary lid is provided.
  • the rotary lid can be reliably guided out of its - with respect to the pouring opening - rear opening rotational position in its front locking rotational position, whereby handling is facilitated.
  • the rotary cover may near the rivet, next to this or on the opposite side of the indenting, have reinforcing beads to better withstand the material stress there.
  • the simplification of the operation when closing the pouring opening may further comprise the can lid a stop for the rotary lid in the closed rotational position.
  • the sealing function can be further improved if the rotary cover is at least partially coated, for example on the inside of its edge region.
  • the choice of material is in particular to be made so that the material thickness of the can lid preferably between 0.1 and 0.3 mm, in particular at about 0.224 mm, the material thickness of the Aufdrücklasche preferably between 0.15 and 0.35 mm, in particular about 0.265 mm and the material thickness of the rotary cover is preferably between 0.05 and 0.15 mm, in particular about 0.1 mm.
  • the material may be rolled aluminum, optionally with a clearcoat finish.
  • the invention further relates to a can lid with the above-described closure and to a beverage can with a thus-equipped can lid.
  • the invented closure system according to the FIGS. 1a to 1d can be beverage cans with a pouring opening designed as a Eindschreibö réelle 7 reseal.
  • the can lid D which is permanently mortared, for example, on the upper end of an approximately cylindrical can body K, has a rivet 5, on which a rotary lid 2 is rotatably mounted from an opening rotational position in a closed rotational position above the pouring port 7 and back again.
  • the rotary cover 2 is in each case in its closed rotational position above the pouring opening 7, which has been previously released, for example by utilizing material weakening lines.
  • the rotary cover 2 is at least partially formed as a curved snap-action disc S, which can be converted by a force acting perpendicular to the lid mirror plane from a stable first bending state by bending and after overcoming a pressure point in a stable second bending state in which the outer edge 10 of the rotary cover 2 to the the pouring opening 7 limiting lid edge 9 applies a closing pressure and from which the snap-action disc S jumps by renewed force in their first bending state, as shown in the FIGS. 1a to 1d is illustrated in turn.
  • the snap disc S takes the essential part of the pouring opening 7 and is adapted in its outer contour of the inner edge contour of the pouring opening 7, namely special circular.
  • the rotary lid 2 overlaps the pouring opening 7 limiting lid edge 9 slightly.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b When comparing the FIGS. 1a and 1b is clarified that according to FIG. 1a initially with little play in the pouring opening 7 fitting snap disk portion of the rotary cover 2 after bending down according to FIG. 1b circumferentially sealed at the pouring opening 7 limiting lid edge 9 is pressed.
  • the rotary lid 2 is attached to the rivet 5 of the can lid D with a fastening tab 8. Seen from the snap-action disc S, the fastening tab 8 is extended beyond the rivet 5 by an opposing actuating portion 15. As if from a comparison of Figures 1c and 1d it can be seen, the snap disc S can be converted by pressure from the top of the actuating portion 15 again from its second tightly closing bending state in the first bending state in which the rotary cover 2 can be easily rotated to release the pouring opening 7.
  • the rotary lid 2 is partially formed as a snap-action disc S, which can be transferred by force F perpendicular to the lid mirror plane from an upper stable bending state - after overcoming a pressure point - in a lower bending state, in which latter the outer edge the rotating lid 2 is pressed more strongly against the lid edge 9 delimiting the pouring opening 7 than before to produce a sealed closure.
  • the deflection of the snap disc S upward in the initial bending state may be stronger than the deflection of the snap disc S down in the second stable bending state, so that the diameter of the rotary cover 2 in the latter second bending state is slightly larger than in the first bending state, in which the snap disc is arched upwards.
  • the pouring opening 7 is circular in the illustrated case, but it can also oval, trapezoidal with optionally rounded corners or other
  • the rotary cover 2 (in a manner not shown) at its outer edge 10 have one or more wings or the like handle elements, so that the rotary cover 2 can be detected to rotate easier.
  • the material thickness of the Aufdrücklasche 1 may be slightly larger than that of the can lid D, that of the rotary lid 2 is slightly less than that of the can lid D.
