Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for assembling a multi-part closure for containers for liquid, pasty or powdery products, a mountable with the inventive method multipart closure according to the preamble of claim 7, a container with such a multipart closure and its use.
  • Such a multi-part closure is for example from the DE 20 2009 000 138 U1 known.
  • This has the form of a snap closure for a container, in particular a drinking bottle, with a lower part, preferably for connecting the flap closure with the container, and an upper part, preferably a lid, wherein the lower and upper part are preferably connected by a hinge.
  • Liquid, pasty or powdered products such as beverages, chemicals, medicines or detergents
  • containers such as bottles, cans, bags or packages, preferably of plastic, glass or composites.
  • the containers are often provided with a separately produced closure, wherein a closure means a device for controlled removal of the product from the container, which can be opened and / or closed manually in general by the user or automatically.
  • the closure is fixed or removable mounted on the container, for example screwed, locked, pressed, welded or laminated.
  • the closure is usually mounted in the filling line before or after the container is filled with the product.
  • closure is in many cases designed in several parts, wherein the closure parts, for example, a closure housing, a lid or a valve insert, preferably with a self-closing valve.
  • Shutter parts in this context are to be understood as meaning both individual, separately produced parts and individual functional sections of such parts, preferably a cover which is connected to a closure housing by a film hinge and which is produced together with the closure housing in one piece.
  • a closure member may also be an assembly of a plurality of interconnected separate parts, such as a valve insert consisting of a valve holder, a valve, and a valve mover.
  • Containers and closures of the type described must, in many cases, be contacted with a fluid prior to filling with the product.
  • fluid in the context of this invention is meant a liquid or gas which is both a Newtonian, i. H. a uniformly flowing, or non-Newtonian, d. H. may be a non-proportional or leaking fluid.
  • the product is a perishable food, such as fruit juice or milk
  • all surfaces of the container and closure with which the product may come into contact during storage must be sterilized prior to filling. This is generally done by so-called wet or dry aseptic, ie the sterilization by a liquid or a gas, for which inter alia peracetic acid or H 2 O 2 are used.
  • a reusable baby feeding nipple assembly with a nipple, a union nut, a protective cap, and a closure disc is also known, these components being nested together, sterilized as a unit in a water bath, and mounted on a jar of baby food after removal of the closure disc.
  • the method according to the invention contains the following three steps:
  • the closure is first preassembled by bringing the closure parts into a preassembly position, wherein a preassembly position means a provisional, later still changeable, connection between the closure parts.
  • a preassembly position means a provisional, later still changeable, connection between the closure parts.
  • the pre-assembly position of at least two pre-assembled closure parts, namely at least one housing and a valve insert inside the housing, not their final assembly position corresponds to a final assembly position, the final position of the closure parts is understood in the mounted on the container closure.
  • the pre-assembly of the closure parts preassembled in step a) is such that all portions of surfaces of closure parts which are to be brought into contact with a sterilization fluid can be reached by the sterilization fluid from outside the preassembled closure.
  • the preassembly is such as to provide a continuous open space from the vicinity of the preassembled closure to all such surface sections through which the sterilizing fluid can flow to contact the surface sections.
  • step b) all such surface sections of the closure parts are then brought into contact with the sterilization fluid.
  • the sterilization fluid is provided outside the preassembled closure, is brought into contact with the preassembled closure in a suitable manner and flows to all these surface sections due to the aforementioned nature of the pre-assembly of the closure parts.
  • the sterilization fluid is removed again from the preassembled closure, preferably by independently draining off or being sucked off.
  • step c) the pre-assembled closure is mounted on the container, with all the pre-assembled closure parts also assuming their final assembly position.
  • This method has the advantage that only one aseptic station for contacting the pre-assembled closure with the sterilization fluid is required in the filling line and that the achievement of the final assembly position of the pre-assembled closure parts and the assembly of the pre-assembled closure on the container together in one step in the same assembly station the filling line can take place.
  • the pre-assembly according to step a) can already take place at the manufacturer of the closure, so that the pre-assembled closure can be supplied as a single component to the filling operation. This has logistical advantages and simplifies the construction of the filling line, which also reduces the cost of bottling.
  • one or more apertures are formed in step a) during preassembly between the preassembled closure parts, through which the sterilization fluid then passes in step b) and the surface sections which are to be brought into contact with the sterilization fluid from outside can reach the pre-assembled closure.
  • Such breakthroughs between the preassembled closure parts are sufficiently large to ensure contact of the sterilization fluid with these surface sections.
  • the openings are small enough to still allow a sufficiently stable mechanical connection between the pre-assembled closure parts.
  • At least two closure parts are preassembled in step a) in such a way that surface sections of these closure parts which are not to be brought into contact with the sterilization fluid can not be reached by the sterilization fluid from outside the preassembled closure.
  • the contacting with the sterilization fluid can be restricted to certain surface sections, preferably to those surface sections which can come into contact with the product after filling.
  • the contacting of the surface sections of the preassembled closure parts with the sterilization fluid in step b) is a sterilization, such as with a sterilizing liquid such as peracetic acid or H 2 O 2 , especially in the case that the product is a perishable food.
  • the contacting of the surface sections of the preassembled closure parts in step b) takes place by the flooding, ie the complete or almost complete filling of all externally accessible cavities, the pre-assembled closure with the sterilization fluid.
  • This is preferably done by immersing the preassembled closure in a bath consisting of the sterilizing fluid. Due to the pre-assembly of the pre-assembled closure parts, the sterilization fluid reaches all relevant surface sections in the bath and comes into contact with them. After a given contact time, for example, sufficient to kill any germs present on the surface sections, the preassembled closure is lifted out of the bath, whereupon the sterilization fluid may drain down and possibly evaporate sterilization fluid films remaining on the surface sections.
  • the pre-assembly of the closure parts in step a) comprises the provisional latching of at least two closure parts with one another.
  • the closure parts which are provisionally latched together in the preassembly position are locked together during assembly of the preassembled closure onto the container in step c) for the final assembly position, unlike in the pre-assembly position.
  • This has the advantage that no further tools are necessary for achieving the final assembly position of the pre-assembled closure parts.
  • the final assembly position may be automatically achieved, for example, by the pressure on the preassembled closure members exerted on the container during assembly of the preassembled closure (preferably by unscrewing, bouncing, or latching) by adjusting the preassembled closure members from the detent position corresponding to the preassembly position to the detent position corresponding to the final assembly position be pushed. As a result, a minimum of processing effort is achieved.
  • the preassembled closure parts comprise a housing and a valve insert, wherein the container is preferably a beverage bottle.
  • the sterilization fluid also comes into contact with such surface portions of closure members which, in the final assembly position of these closure members, are separated from the environment of the closure by the (closed) valve and thus only due to the preassembly of these closure members for the closure member Sterilization fluid can be reached, which are nevertheless accessible after filling for the product, when, for example, by pressure on the container, the product is pressed against the valve and this then opens.
  • the closure parts in a pre-assembly ie, a provisional, later still changeable connection between the closure parts, and in a final assembly position, ie in its final position in that on the container mounted closure, be brought.
  • the closure parts of the multi-part closure comprise in a preferred Embodiment a self-closing valve.
  • a self-closing valve This has the advantage that the container with the closure is always tight, which is important, for example, in the case of a beverage bottle when using during a car ride or during sports. Nevertheless, the user may remove the product from the bottle at any time, in the case of a beverage bottle, preferably by squeezing the bottle and / or simultaneously sucking on the closure, whereby the valve opens and the product can pass.
  • the closure parts of the multi-part closure comprise a housing and a lid, wherein the lid can be produced as a separate part or can be produced together with the housing and connected to it by a film hinge.
  • the lid preferably serves as additional contamination protection for the closure, z. B. against dust, dirt or insects.
  • the housing and the lid of the closure are connected to each other by a tamper-evident.
  • a tamper-evident This may take the form of a circumferential, latched with the housing of the closure ring, which is preferably connected to the lid by thin webs, which are demolished when first opening the lid by the user. This makes it clear to the user when buying the container at first glance that this has not yet been opened.
  • Corresponding tamper-evident devices are already known for the connection between a closure and a container, for example a screw cap on a beverage bottle.
  • the tamper-evident is captively mounted between the housing and the lid of the closure, that is, it is mounted so that the tamper-evident even after opening the lid still with the closure, preferably positive and / or non-positively connected. In this way, the user does not have to dispose of the tamper-evident device after opening the lid for the first time, and there is no danger for any nearby infants to swallow the tamper-evident tamper-evident device.
  • the operation by the user in particular the opening and / or closing of the lid, can be done with only one hand.
  • This may preferably be achieved by a corresponding projection on the lid, at which the user can push the lid up with his thumb while enclosing the container, for example the beverage bottle, with the palm of the hand and the remaining four fingers of the same hand.
  • the possibility of such one-handed operation is especially advantageous when cycling or driving a car when the other hand is needed to control the vehicle.
  • the multi-piece closure does not include closure members projecting radially beyond the largest diameter of the closure housing, possibly with the exception of closure members on the edge of the closure, such as a tamper evident ring, facing the container.
  • This feature has the advantage of allowing a simple mounting of the closure on the container, in which a cap-shaped tool is placed over the closure from the side facing away from the container, is engaged with the closure, and the closure is for mounting forces necessary movement, preferably a rotary / lowering movement for screwing on, a jerky linear movement for a bouncing or a linear movement with higher pressure for locking.
  • the engagement is preferably made by attached in the surface of the closure housing ribs and corresponding ribs in the cap-shaped tool.
  • the closure parts comprise the closure housing 1 and the cover 2, which are interconnected by the tamper-evident 9, as well as consisting of the valve holder 3, the valve counter-holder 4 and the valve 5 valve insert.
  • the cover 2 is connected to the closure housing 1 by a film hinge to be recognized on the upper left edge of the picture and has at the upper right edge a small projection on which the user can push up the cover 2 with his thumb and thus open it.
  • the cover 2 encloses both the upper part of the closure housing 1 from the outside and the outlet nozzle by a pin projecting downwardly from the inside of the cover plate.
  • valve core Inside the closure housing 1 is located in a concentric position of the valve core.
  • the elastomer used may preferably be silicone or a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the elastomeric membrane has essentially the shape of a spherical cap. It lies on the underside of the valve holder 3 on a peripheral to the ball cap flange and is fixed by the annular, pressed into the valve holder 3 from below valve counter-holder 4.
  • the valve 5 and the valve counter-holder 4 can also be made of one piece.
  • the three or two mentioned individual parts of the valve insert are connected to one another in a preceding assembly step and viewed in the context of the method according to the invention as a single closure part.
  • the entire closure is flooded with a sterilizing liquid.
  • the valve insert as in Fig. 1 shown, first preassembled in step a) of the method according to the invention in a pre-locking position 13.
  • This pre-locking position is defined by the narrow annular projection at the upper end of the valve holder 3 (see above all the left side of the valve holder 3), which engages in an annular groove on the inside of the closure housing 1.
  • the valve holder 3 has at one point on the circumference of its upper edge a return at which the latching is interrupted and the opening is formed. Furthermore, the sterilization liquid penetrates from the top through the opening 8 into the interior of the valve insert to the top of the valve 5 a.
  • the sterilization fluid can not penetrate into the interspace 11 between the closure housing 1 and the cover 2 due to the pin closing the outlet nozzle on the inside of the cover plate.
  • step c) of the method according to the invention finally the pre-assembled closure is mounted on the beverage bottle by screwing.
  • the threads required for this purpose in the interior of the closure housing 1 are at the oblique, tongue-shaped strips in the lower part of the closure housing 1 to recognize.
  • valve insert thereby assumes its final assembly position 14 in the closure housing 1 by the annular projection on the upper edge of the valve holder 3 above the upper annular projection on the inside of the closure housing 1 is locked.
  • the sharp-edged annular projection 12 is pressed on the flat top of the valve holder 3 (in the drawings at the two upwardly pointing teeth) from below into the material of the closure housing 1. In this way, the opening 6 is closed, and it is made a particularly tight connection between the valve core and the closure housing 1.
