Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a two-piece plastic dosing for solid or flexible containers, in particular for use on plastic film bag, consisting of a fastened to the container base and a screw-on held closing part, said by the screwing movement, the two parts relative to each other in the axial direction displaceable and can be brought from a closed position in an open position and vice versa, wherein the base part has an external thread and disposed above at least one outlet opening, while the closing part has an internal thread and a central outlet opening, and wherein the base part with a cylindrical portion with external thread and a head part with a frusto-conical outer contour is present above this, and that the head part has a conical jacket wall which has at least one outlet opening and is closed with a cover surface of the head part n is while the closing part above it in a cylindrical section attached internal thread is designed as a counterparts truncated cone.
  • the closing part contributes a functional proportion to the metered delivery, shows the GB 1399840 a solution which is much more complex and is provided with an actual valve plate, in which case the closing part does not play any part in the metering action of the closure.
  • a closing and dosing function has the closing part in the form of a screw cap like this GB-1187081-A shows. In this case, an opening is present eccentrically in the top surface and this opening is closed by the container neck or a base part which engages in the closed position in this opening.
  • This solution is extremely simple in construction, but is only suitable as a metering closure for dispensing small quantities. Typically, such dosing caps have been mounted on containers for cosmetics.
  • DE-A-2839284 considered. It is a two-piece plastic dosing for solid and flexible container, consisting of a fastened to the container base and a schraubbeweglich held closing part, wherein the screwing movement, the two parts relative to each other in the axial direction and displaceable from a closed position in an open position and vice versa are brought.
  • the base part has an external thread and arranged above at least one outlet opening
  • the closing part has an internal thread and a central outlet opening
  • the base part with a cylindrical portion with External thread and above a part with frustoconical outer contour is present.
  • two-part metering closures of the above type are known in a similar construction for a long time.
  • An example of these older closures shows a tube closure according to the DE 636805 A .
  • Closures constructed on the same principle, namely with a lower frusto-conical part and a conical part displaceable relative thereto, have been known for a long time, but these are conceived as tube closures and the base part is practically designed as a full body.
  • the proven closest prior art has a lower part, which is practically made of a solid body and the openings are practically designed as channels.
  • a tube closure is known, but here, instead of a truncated cone, two conical parts are aligned. This of course allows only a small outlet opening and this must be centrally located above the top of the lower cone, while in the lower part, the openings are formed in the cone wall.
  • the present invention two-part dosing closure is designed and designed for containers with large volumes and corresponding larger amounts to be dosed. Accordingly, significantly larger outlet openings are thus closed.
  • the cost of materials is much too large.
  • a corresponding thin-walled solution of both the lower part As well as the upper part to thus save material would be obvious to the skilled person, but this can not be realized because of the forces occurring in an obvious way, since a one to one implementation of the previous solutions would lead to leakage problems resulting from the Thinness would result.
  • the base part should have the shape of a above the external thread over a cylindrical portion arranged with the male thread head portion, wherein in the conical jacket wall at least one outlet opening is mounted and the top surface of the head portion is closed, while the closing part is designed above its mounted in a cylindrical portion internal thread, as opposed truncated cone, the top surface of the truncated cone is at least approximately completely open and in the closed state, the conical outer surface of the shell wall of the base part and the conical inner surface of the Closing parts sealingly come to rest on each other and is characterized by the features of claim 1.
  • the dosing closure which is generally designated 1, and as such in FIG. 2 it can be seen, consists of the two main components, namely the base part 2 and the closing part 3.
  • the base part 2 is used for direct attachment to a container, in the example enclosed here for attachment to a foil bag.
  • the base part 2 has a circumferential, outwardly directed flange 26, which adjoins terminally on a cylindrical portion 22.
  • This cylindrical portion 22 has an external thread 20.
  • a part which is referred to collectively as the head part 23.
  • This head part 23 has a conical jacket wall 24.
  • a cover surface 25 closes the head part 23 upwards. The top surface 25 is thus completely closed.
  • At least one outlet opening 21 is formed.
  • a plurality of outlet openings 21 are present.
  • the outlet openings can here be practically so large that only narrow webs remain between the individual outlet openings 21.
  • three outlet openings 21 are formed, which make up a total of approximately 50% of the surface of the conical jacket wall 24.
  • the outlet openings 21 in height designed so that they extend at least approximately over the entire height of the conical jacket wall 24. This embodiment is particularly suitable for liquid media in which a large volume should be dispensed each.
  • the outlet openings will be so large that virtually only narrow webs remain between the individual outlet openings 21, so that virtually no material on the outside surface of the closure will be present when closing the closure now on a few webs reduced conical jacket wall 24 may remain.
  • the completely closed cover surface 25 adjoins.
  • the top surface is preferably designed in the material thickness so that the wall thickness of the top surface 25 is practically twice as thick as the conical jacket wall 24 of the head part 23.
  • a circumferential shoulder is formed in the edge region, which forms a ledge 28.
  • the height of this ledge 28 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the conical jacket wall 24 of the head part 23.
  • In the vertical region of the ledge 28 also has a circumferential sealing groove 29 is formed, as most likely in the FIG. 4 is recognizable.
  • On the base part 2 of the already mentioned closing part can be screwed.
  • the closing part 3 is designed so that its inner surface in the closed state comes to lie sealingly on the outer surface of the base part.
  • the closing part 3 also has a cylindrical portion 31.
  • the internal thread 30 of the closing part 3 is formed. This internal thread is only in the sectional drawings of FIGS. 3 and 4 recognizable.
  • the cylindrical portion 31 of the closing part 3 also includes a truncated cone 33 at.
  • the jacket wall 34 of the truncated cone 33 is completely closed.
  • the top surface 32 of the truncated cone 33 is completely open except for an upper edge 35 and forms the outlet opening 32 'of the closing part 3.
  • the cylindrical portion 31 has on its outside means 42 for increasing the grip. These means may be designed, for example, vertically extending ribs or as darg Congress here, like a polygonal nut polygonal.
  • FIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the various seals for a liquid media metering closure.
  • the seal is characterized in that the truncated cone 23 of the base part 2 engages positively in the outlet opening 32 'of the top surface 32 of the closing part 3.
  • the base part as already described, a circumferential ledge 28 and the jacket wall 34 of the truncated cone 33 of the closing part is designed so that the jacket wall 34 is bent inwardly terminal and thus forms the aforementioned crank 36.
  • This crank 36 comes to lie positively in and on the ledge 28, which bounds from the top surface 25 marginally inwardly projecting this top surface 25.
  • the bend 36 at the vertical end with a sealing bead 37, which is directed towards the center, provided.
  • This sealing bead is practically a short inward lip with a thickness of a few tenths of a millimeter. It makes sense to bring into the vertical portion of the ledge 28 a form-fitting to the sealing bead 37 matching sealing groove 29 at. In the fully closed state thus engages the sealing bead 37 in the corresponding sealing groove 29 a.
  • sealing beads 38 are formed, which project perpendicularly from this conical jacket wall 34, and their course of the shape of the outlet openings 21 are adapted. These sealing beads 38 are in the fully closed state of the metering at the edges of the outlet openings 21 sealingly. This results in a tactile snapping in the closed position, since these sealing beads 38 already rest on the outer surface of the conical jacket wall 24 before reaching the end position and thereby practically clean this conical jacket wall. The user hears and therefore feels when he closes the dosing completely and just as he has to overcome an increased resistance before he can open the dosing.
  • retaining collar 27 formed at the base part 2 a retaining collar 27 formed at the base part 2 .
  • This retaining collar 27 extends below the external thread 20 of the base part 2, so practically in the region between the flange 26 and the external thread 20 on the cylindrical portion 22.
  • retaining hooks 39 are formed at the closing part 3 , which at the maximum screwing of the closing part 3 on the retaining collar 27 for Stop come.
  • These retaining hooks 39 may be formed directly on extensions or on the lower edge of the cylindrical portion 31. In the illustrated here, particularly preferred embodiment, the retaining hooks 39 are integrally formed on spring tongues 41.
  • spring tongues 41 are formed in recesses 40 in the jacket wall of the cylindrical portion of the closing part 3. This embodiment has two advantages, namely on the one hand is facilitated by a mounting and secondly carried by the retaining hook 39, during assembly, no violation of the thread, which therefore also retains its sealing effect.
  • the spring tongues 41 are designed to be longer than the height of the cylindrical portion 31 and therefore protrude downwards. This is for example in the FIG. 2 but also in the FIGS. 3 and 4 , recognizable. In the FIG. 1 are such spring tongues 41 can not be seen, since here the retaining hook 39 is designed as a circumferential bead on the inside of the cylindrical portion 31 of the closing part 3.
