Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bruised closure system for a container, in particular a blown from a preform bottle for free-flowing detergents and cleaners.
  • Screw closure can cause and too high screwing can cause the closure is not or only with difficulty by a user to reopen or even destroyed when screwed by a too high bolting torque.
  • the object of the present invention is to prevent the disadvantages described.
  • the object is achieved by a container according to claim 1 and a method for producing a container according to claim 7.
  • the container in particular a blown from a preform bottle for pourable detergents and cleaners, comprises

  • the spring detent element has a flank with an axial pitch angle ⁇ of the flank between 2 ° and 85 °, preferably between 4 ° and 70 °, in particular preferably between 5 ° and 60 °. Due to the flank and its pitch positioning inaccuracies when bouncing the pouring aid can be partially compensated for the retaining ring. Furthermore, the spring-elastic deflection and the resilient snap of the spring detent element behind the retaining ring during bouncing is effected by the flank.
  • the spring detent element of the pouring is formed as a resilient, circumferential collar which completely surrounds the retaining ring over its entire circumference.
  • the pouring aid is further preferred to form the pouring aid of a plastic material.
  • a sealing ring may be formed on the pouring, which rests in the bumped with the retaining ring state on the inwardly directed peripheral wall of the retaining ring. Furthermore, the sealing ring serves for a precisely defined positioning and fixing of the pouring aid on the retaining ring of the container.
  • a closure cap can be provided for closing the container provided with the bruised dosing aid, wherein a means for detachably connecting the pouring aid to the closure cap is designed as an internal thread in the pouring aid and as a corresponding external thread in the closure cap, so that the closure cap is inserted into the pouring aid , in particular liquid-tight, can be screwed.
  • the means for releasably connecting the pouring aid with a closure cap is designed as a bouncing connection detachable by a user.

  • a shoulder 9 is formed on the outwardly directed lateral surface of the container opening 2.
  • the shoulder 9 extends at a right angle out of the lateral surface of the container opening 2 outward.
  • the depth of the shoulder is defined by the difference of the outer diameter Dh of the retaining ring 3 and the outer diameter Db of the container opening 2.
  • the pouring aid 4 has a spring detent element 5, which in the example shown is designed as a circumferential, resilient collar 5b at its distal end a flank 5a is arranged.
  • the flank 5b has an axial pitch angle ⁇ . In the bounced state, the flank 5a engages behind the shoulder 9, so that a connection which can not be detached for a user is formed between the container opening 2 and the pouring aid 4.
  • the flank 5a also serves during the Aufprellreaes for resilient spreading of the collar from the retaining ring 3 to the outside, until the collar then snaps by means of the edge 5a in its closed position behind the shoulder 9.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient (1), notamment une bouteille réalisée par soufflage à partir d'une préforme et destinée à des lessives et détergents coulants, comprenant une ouverture de récipient (2) qui est parfaitement ronde et sans pas de vis et qui présente une extrémité distale dont la face extérieure est pourvue d'un anneau de maintien (3) lequel est de forme cylindrique et lequel présente un diamètre extérieur (Dh) supérieur au diamètre extérieur (Db) de l'ouverture de récipient (2), l'ouverture de récipient (2) étant alors située en retrait par rapport à l'anneau de maintien (3), vers l'intérieur en direction de l'axe central de l'ouverture de récipient (2) et de l'anneau de maintien (3), un bec verseur (4) lequel a une forme sensiblement cylindrique et présente sur au moins une extrémité distale une élément élastique d'encliquetage (5), l'élément élastique d'encliquetage (5) étant configuré de manière à ce que l'encliquetage du bec verseur (4) sur l'anneau de maintien (3) conduit à l'établissement d'une liaison étanche aux liquides et non-séparable par un utilisateur, et lequel présente sur son autre extrémité distale des moyens (6) destinés à établir une liaison libérable entre le bec verseur (4) et un capuchon (7).
