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.
  • WO 2007/092866 A2 discloses a container having a container opening and having a pouring aid attached to the container opening. At the outwardly directed distal end of the container opening, a cylindrical retaining ring is formed, whose outer diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the container opening, so that the container opening is set back relative to the retaining ring to the central axis of the container opening to the inside.
  • the pouring aid has a spring detent element at a distal end, and has at its other distal end means for releasable connection with a closure cap.
  • US7097076 B1 discloses a container having a container opening and having a pouring aid attached to the container opening. The pouring aid is locked in the container opening. A cap is screwed to the container opening.
  • US5101993 A and WO2009 / 111474 A2 each discloses a container with a container opening and with a pouring aid attached to the container opening.
  • the pouring aid is locked in the container opening.
  • a cap is screwed to the pouring aid.
  • US 2008/0230572 A1 discloses a container having a container opening and having a pouring aid attached to the container opening.
  • the pouring aid is manufactured in one piece in the container opening or attached by gluing, friction welding, or melting.
  • 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 spring detent element has a flank with an axial pitch angle ⁇ of the flank between 2 ° and 85 °, preferably between 4 ° and 70 °, particularly 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.
  • a sealing ring may be formed on the pouring aid, which rests in the bumped with the retaining 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.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section through the bruised closure system in the closed position.
  • the container 1 has a cylinder-shaped container opening 2 lying at the top in the direction of gravity.
  • a likewise cylindrical retaining ring 3 is formed, which extends parallel to the central axis of the container opening 2 in the direction of gravity upwards.
  • the outer diameter Dh of the retaining ring 3 is larger than the outer diameter Db of the container opening 2.
  • 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 is formed in the example shown as a circumferential, resilient collar 5b at the distal end of a flank 5a is arranged.
  • the flank 5b has an axial pitch angle ⁇ .
  • 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.
  • the pouring aid 4 by means of a sealing ring 8, which engages behind the distal end of the retaining ring 3 in the direction of the container interior, is liquid-tightly connected to the retaining ring.
  • the sealing ring 8 has an outwardly rising edge 8a, which facilitates in particular the positioning of the pouring aid on the retaining ring 3.
  • the outer flank edge 8a is sealingly against the inside lateral surface of the retaining ring 3.
  • An internal thread 6 is integrally formed on the distal end of the cylindrical pouring aid 4 directed upwards in the direction of gravity.
  • the cap 7 is detachably screwed by means of a corresponding external thread.
  • Fig. 2 is that off Fig. 1 represented known bruised closure system in an exploded view, based on which can be well explained the method for producing the container according to the invention.
  • a preform is provided with a threadless, circular container opening 2, at the outwardly directed distal end of a cylindrical retaining ring 3 is formed, the outer diameter Dh is greater than the outer diameter Db of the container opening 2, so that the container opening 2 relative to the Retaining ring 3 is set back to the central axis of the container opening 2 and the retaining ring 3 to the inside.
  • the preform is heated and inflated to a container with a threadless, circular container opening 2.
  • the cylindrical pouring aid 4 is bounced on the retaining ring 3 of the container 1, wherein the pouring aid 4 at least at a distal end a Spring latching element 5, wherein the spring detent element 5 and the retaining ring 3 are configured in such a way that by bouncing the pouring aid 4 on the retaining ring 3, a liquid-tight, unsolvable for a user connection is formed, and at its other distal end means 6 for releasable Connection of the pouring aid 4 with a cap 7 has.
  • cap 7 can alternatively be connected in a further process step after the bouncing of the pouring aid 4 on the retaining ring 3 with the pouring aid.
