Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen wiederverschließbaren Behälter mit einem Deckel mit Sollbruchstellen und einem Verschluss mit einer Zunge, mit dem durch Kippen der Deckel in einem Bereich zwischen den Sollbruchstellen eindrückbar ist, um eine Öffnung freizugeben, wobei der Verschluss verschiebbar ist, sodass die freigegebene Öffnung verschließbar ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a resealable container having a lid with predetermined breaking points and a closure with a tongue with which the cover can be pressed by tilting the lid in a region between the predetermined breaking points, to release an opening, wherein the closure is displaceable, so that the released opening is closed , according to the preamble of claim 1.

Wiederverschließbare Behälter dieser Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik in Form von Getränkedosen bekannt geworden. In der GB 2 426 970 A ist unter anderem ein solcher, als wiederverschließbare Getränkedose ausgeführter, wiederverschließbarer Behälter offenbart. Um eine Wiederverschließbarkeit zu erreichen, sind an einer Oberseite eines Dosendeckels Führungen vorgesehen, welche einen Verschluss positionell führen, wenn der Dosendeckel verschlossen werden soll. Nachteilig ist hierbei eine Komplexität der Ausbildung des Dosendeckels, da die Führungen an diesem vorzusehen sind.Reclosable containers of this type have become known from the prior art in the form of beverage cans. In the GB 2 426 970 A is, inter alia, such disclosed as reclosable beverage can, reclosable container disclosed. To achieve reclosability, guides are provided on an upper surface of a can lid which positionally guide a closure when the can lid is to be closed. The disadvantage here is a complexity of the design of the can lid, since the guides are provided on this.

Aus der US 4,749,099 ist ebenfalls eine wiederverschließbare Getränkedose bekannt geworden. Bei dieser wiederverschließbaren Getränkedose sind am Dosendeckel zwingend Führungsrillen vorgesehen, mit welchen ein Verschlussteil zum Verschließen des Dosendeckels führbar ist. Auch in diesem Fall ist eine relativ komplexe Ausbildung des Dosendeckels gegeben.From the US 4,749,099 has also become known a resealable beverage can. In this resealable beverage can guide grooves are provided on the can lid, with which a closure member for closing the can lid is feasible. Also in this case, a relatively complex design of the can lid is given.

Aus der EP 0 078 397 A2 ist eine wiederverschließbare Getränkedose bekannt geworden, bei der ein Verschiebeplättchen unter einem Dosendeckel verschoben werden kann, um die Dose nach dem Öffnen wieder zu verschließen. Bei einer derartigen Getränkedose kann es jedoch dazu kommen, dass sich ein Verschlusselement lösen kann, sodass kein optimaler Verschluss gegeben ist.From the EP 0 078 397 A2 has become known a resealable beverage can in which a sliding plate can be moved under a can lid to close the can after opening again. In such a beverage can, however, it can happen that a closure element can solve, so that no optimal closure is given.

Aus der DE 201 19 979 U1 ist eine weitere wiederverschließbare Getränkedose bekannt geworden, bei der ein doppelter Deckel erforderlich ist, um ein Wiederverschließen der Getränkedose zu ermöglichen. Dies bedingt einen komplexen Aufbau insbesondere des Dosendeckels.From the DE 201 19 979 U1 Another reclosable beverage can has become known in which a double lid is required to allow re-closing of the beverage can. This requires a complex structure, in particular the can lid.

NL 2 000 219 C offenbart in Figuren 6a bis 6g einen wiederverschließbaren Behälter mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. Dem Dokument ist der konkrete Aufbau des für konventionelle Dosendeckel vorgesehenen Kipp- und Schiebeverschlusses nicht entnehmbar. NL 2 000 219 C discloses in Figures 6a to 6g a resealable container with the features of the preamble of claim 1. The document is the concrete structure of the provided for conventional can lid tilt and slide closure can not be removed.

Ein weiterer wiederverschließbarer Behälter ist aus WO 2006/112613 A bekannt. Bei dieser Ausführung wird mithilfe eines schlitzgeführten Schiebeplättchens ein an dem Dosendeckel vorgesehenes jalousieartiges Verschlusselement geöffnet und wieder verschlossen.Another resealable container is off WO 2006/112613 A known. In this embodiment, a jalousie-like closure element provided on the can lid is opened and closed again with the aid of a slit-guided sliding plate.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es insbesondere, einen konstruktiv einfach ausgestalteten wiederverschließbaren Behälter anzugeben.The object of the invention is in particular to provide a structurally simple reclosable container.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Behälter gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Varianten eines erfindungsgemäßen Behälters sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche 2 bis 11.This object is achieved by a container according to claim 1. Advantageous variants of a container according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims 2 to 11.

Weitere Merkmale, Vorteile und Wirkungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem nachfolgend dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel. In den Zeichnungen, auf welche dabei Bezug genommen wird, zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf einen Dosendeckel eines erfindungsgemäßen Behälters, der als Getränkedose ausgeführt ist;
  • Fig. 2 einen Teil eines wiederverschließbaren Behälters gemäß Fig. 1 im Bereich des Dosendeckels nach Öffnen desselben im Querschnitt.
Further features, advantages and effects of the invention will become apparent from the embodiment illustrated below. In the drawings, to which reference is made, show:
  • Fig. 1 a plan view of a can lid of a container according to the invention, which is designed as a beverage can;
  • Fig. 2 a part of a resealable container according to Fig. 1 in the area of the can lid after opening the same in cross section.

In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Behälter in Draufsicht auf einen Deckel 3 dargestellt. Am Deckel 3, der durch einen Deckelrand begrenzt ist, befindet sich ein Verschluss 1. Der im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellte Behälter ist als Getränkedose ausgeführt. Darüber hinaus können aber auch andere Medien in einem erfindungsgemäßen Behälter aufbewahrt werden. Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Situation ist eine Oberseite des Behälters komplett geschlossen. Der Behälter besteht bevorzugt aus Metall, insbesondere Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung, allerdings sind auch andere Materialien oder die Kombination verschiedener, gegenüber dem aufzubewahrenden Medium dichte, Materialien möglich. Der Verschluss 1 weist an einem Ende einen erhöhten Verschlussrand 1a auf, an dessen Unterseite sich ein endseitiges Griffstück befindet, mit welchem der Verschluss 1 leicht verschoben werden kann, wie später noch erläutert wird. Unter dem Verschluss 1 ist mittig ein längliches Plättchen 1b angeordnet, das eine Ausnehmung in Form eines geraden Schlitzes aufweist. Das Plättchen 1 b ist mit einem Verbindungsteil 2, der hier als Niet ausgeführt ist, mit dem Deckel 3 verbunden, wobei das Verbindungsteil 2 durch die Ausnehmung bzw. den Schlitz geführt ist, um das Plättchen 1b am Deckel 3 zu halten. Alternativ zu einem Niet ist selbstverständlich auch der Einsatz anderer kraft-, form- oder stoffschlüssig mit dem Deckel 3 verbundener Verbindungsteile 2 möglich, die bewegbar in einer Ausnehmung führbar sind. Anstatt eines geraden Schlitzes ist auch jede andere Form der Ausnehmung möglich, mit der eine Führung des Verbindungsteils 2 gewährleistet werden kann. Der Verschluss 1, der über dem Plättchen 1 b angeordnet ist, umfasst dieses, vorzugsweise bündig, wofür an einer unteren, dem Deckel 3 zugewandten Seite eine Aussparung 1c vorgesehen ist, welche das Plättchen 1 b in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Behälters zur Gänze aufnimmt. Der Verschluss 1 weist des Weiteren an einem dem Verschlussrand 1 a gegenüberliegenden Ende eine Zunge 1d auf, an welcher der Verschluss 1 mit dem Plättchen 1 b fest verbunden ist. Die Verbindung zwischen Verschluss 1 und Plättchen 1 b ist im dargestellten Beispiel stoffschlüssig ausgebildet, wobei auch eine mittelbare oder unmittelbare kraft- oder formschlüssige Art der Verbindung möglich wäre. Verschluss 1 und Plättchen 1b, die bevorzugt aus Metall, insbesondere Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung, bestehen, können auch integral aus einem Teil gefertigt sein. Der Verschluss 1 und das Plättchen 1b sind somit hier einteilig ausgeführt und durch den Niet mit dem Deckel 3 entlang des Schlitzes verschiebbar verbunden. Am Deckel 3 sind Sollbruchstellen vorgesehen, die eine Öffnung 3b begrenzen, sodass die Öffnung 3b mit Kippen des Verschlusses 1 und Druck der Zunge 1d durch ein Brechen des Deckels 3 entlang der Sollbruchstellen freigegeben werden kann.In Fig. 1 a container according to the invention is shown in plan view of a lid 3. On the lid 3, which is bounded by a lid edge, there is a closure 1. The container shown in the embodiment is designed as a beverage can. In addition, however, other media can be stored in a container according to the invention. At the in Fig. 1 illustrated situation, a top of the container is completely closed. The container is preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, but other materials or the combination of different, compared to the medium to be stored dense, materials are possible. The closure 1 has at one end an elevated closure edge 1a, on the underside of which there is an end-side grip piece with which the closure 1 can be easily displaced, as will be explained later. Under the closure 1, an elongated plate 1b is centrally arranged, which has a recess in the form of a straight slot. The plate 1 b is connected to a connecting part 2, which is designed here as a rivet, with the lid 3, wherein the connecting part 2 is guided through the recess or the slot to hold the wafer 1b on the lid 3. As an alternative to a rivet, it is of course also possible to use other connecting parts 2 which are connected in a force-locking, positive or cohesive manner to the cover 3 and which can be guided movably in a recess. Instead of a straight slot Any other form of recess is also possible with which a guide of the connecting part 2 can be ensured. The closure 1, which is arranged above the small plate 1 b, comprises this, preferably flush, for which a recess 1 c is provided on a lower side facing the lid 3, which completely receives the plate 1 b in a closed state of the container. The closure 1 further has, at an end opposite the closure edge 1 a, a tongue 1 d on which the closure 1 is firmly connected to the wafer 1 b. The connection between the closure 1 and plate 1 b is cohesively formed in the example shown, with an indirect or direct non-positive or positive type of connection would be possible. Closure 1 and plate 1b, which are preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, may also be made integrally from one part. The closure 1 and the plate 1b are thus made in one piece and slidably connected by the rivet with the lid 3 along the slot. On the lid 3 predetermined breaking points are provided which limit an opening 3b, so that the opening 3b with tilting of the closure 1 and pressure of the tongue 1d can be released by breaking the lid 3 along the predetermined breaking points.

Anhand von Fig. 2 ist ein Mechanismus des Öffnens und Schließens des Behälters gemäß Fig. 1 näher erläutert. Zum erstmaligen Öffnen des Behälters wird der Verschluss 1 nach oben gezogen, wofür der Verschlussrand 1a an seiner Unterseite das endseitige Griffstück aufweist, sodass der Verschluss 1, der bevorzugt flach ausgebildet ist, leicht gefasst werden kann. Durch Kippen des Verschlusses 1 nach oben bricht durch Einwirkung bzw. Druck der Zunge 1d die Öffnung 3b im Bereich der Sollbruchstellen auf. Der flache Verschluss 1 kann anschließend wieder nach unten gekippt werden und der Behälter steht zur Entnahme des Inhaltes, in diesem Fall eines Getränks, bereit. Wenn der Behälter verschlossen werden soll, wird der Verschluss 1 entlang des Pfeiles in Fig. 2 über die Öffnung 3b bewegt, indem dieser gemeinsam mit dem Plättchen 1 b entlang der Ausnehmung mit diesem bewegt wird, wobei der Niet das Plättchen 1 b samt Verschluss 1 am Deckel 3 hält. Damit der Verschluss 1 bzw. dessen Zunge 1 d die Öffnung 3b gut abdichtet, sind in Fig. 1 ersichtliche Erhebungen 3a vorgesehen, entlang welchen der Verschluss 1 genau verschiebbar ist. Ein Öffnen bzw. eine Freigabe der Öffnung 3b ist wieder möglich, wenn der Verschluss 1 in die Gegenrichtung bewegt wird.Based on Fig. 2 is a mechanism of opening and closing the container according to Fig. 1 explained in more detail. For the first-time opening of the container, the closure 1 is pulled upwards, for which purpose the closure edge 1a has the end-side grip piece on its underside, so that the closure 1, which is preferably flat, can be grasped easily. By tilting the closure 1 upwards breaks through the action or pressure of the tongue 1 d, the opening 3b in the region of the predetermined breaking points. The flat closure 1 can then be tilted down again and the container is ready for the removal of the content, in this case a drink ready. When the container is to be closed, the closure 1 along the arrow in Fig. 2 moved over the opening 3b by this is moved together with the platelets 1 b along the recess with this, wherein the rivet holds the plate 1 b together with closure 1 on the lid 3. So that the closure 1 or its tongue 1 d the opening 3b seals well, are in Fig. 1 apparent elevations 3a provided along which the shutter 1 is precisely displaced. Opening or release of the opening 3b is again possible when the shutter 1 is moved in the opposite direction.
