Description

Die Erfindung betrifft den Deckel eines Behälters, insbesondere eine Getränkedose, mit zumindest einer den Deckel durchdringenden Auslassöffnung, die über zumindest ein Verschlusselement wiederverschließbar ist, wobei das zumindest eine Verschlusselement an der Unterseite des Deckels angeordnet ist, und das zumindest eine Verschlusselement über ein an der Oberseite des Deckels angeordnetes Betätigungselement aus einer Geschlossen-Stellung, bei der die zumindest eine Auslassöffnung verschlossen ist, in eine Offen-Stellung, bei der die Auslassöffnung zumindest teilweise freigelegt ist, bewegbar ist, und das zumindest eine Verschlusselement ein erstes Dichtmittel zur Abdichtung der zumindest einen Auslassöffnung gegen die Unterseite des Deckels aufweist.The invention relates to the lid of a container, in particular a beverage can, with at least one outlet opening penetrating the lid, which is reclosable via at least one closure element, wherein the at least one closure element is arranged on the underside of the lid, and the at least one closure element via a on the Upper side of the lid arranged actuator from a closed position in which the at least one outlet opening is closed, in an open position in which the outlet opening is at least partially exposed, is movable, and the at least one closure element, a first sealing means for sealing the at least having an outlet opening against the underside of the lid.

Behälter der oben beschriebenen Art werden beispielsweise als wiederverschließbare Getränkedosen hergestellt. Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung derartiger Dosen ist in dem Deckelspiegel, der wie die übrige Dose aus Metall, üblicherweise aus Aluminium oder Weißblech hergestellt ist, eine Auslassöffnung vorgesehen. Diese Öffnung ist durch ein Verschlussmittel verschlossen, das im Inneren der Dose am Deckelspiegel anliegt. Dieses Verschlussmittel wird durch ein von außen betätigbares Betätigungselement, beispielsweise mittels einer Klappe oder einem Schieber, aus einer Geschlossen-Stellung in eine Offen-Stellung bewegt, wodurch die Auslassöffnung zum Entleeren der Dose freigelegt wird und nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen wieder dicht verschließbar ist. Eine derartige Getränkedose kann beispielsweise der AT 507 950 A1 der Anmelderin entnommen werden.Containers of the type described above are produced, for example, as resealable beverage cans. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of such cans, an outlet opening is provided in the lid mirror, which, like the rest of the metal can, is usually made of aluminum or tinplate. This opening is closed by a closure means which rests inside the can on the lid mirror. This closure means is moved by an externally operable actuator, for example by means of a flap or a slider, from a closed position to an open position, whereby the outlet opening is exposed for emptying the can and is again tightly closed after the first opening. Such a beverage can, for example, the AT 507 950 A1 taken from the applicant.

Das gattungsbildende Dokument US 2007/262079 A1 , sowie US 2005/236411 A1 , US 2008/053997 A1 und US 4746032 A offenbaren Behälterdeckel mit Dichtmitteln, die auf beiden Seiten des Deckels eine Auslassöffnung umgeben. WO 2009/118339 A1 offenbart eine Zweikomponentenfertigung mit einem weichem Kunststoff als Dichtmittel.The generic document US 2007/262079 A1 , such as US 2005/236411 A1 . US 2008/053997 A1 and US 4746032 A disclose container lids with sealing means surrounding an outlet opening on both sides of the lid. WO 2009/118339 A1 discloses a two-component manufacturing with a soft plastic as a sealant.

Ein großes Problem bei wiederverschließbaren Getränkedosen ist die geforderte geringe Keimbelastung. So verbleiben nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen und teilweise Entleeren der Getränkedose häufig Reste des Inhalts im Bereich der Ausgießöffnung, die nach dem Wiederverschließen eine Quelle für Verkeimung und damit für das Auftreten von Schimmel und dergleichen darstellen.A major problem with resealable beverage cans is the required low germ load. Thus, after the initial opening and partial emptying of the beverage can, remnants of the contents often remain in the region of the pouring opening, which after resealing constitute a source of contamination and thus the occurrence of mold and the like.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Deckel für einen wiederverschließbaren Behälter bereitzustellen, der auch beim Wiederverschließen und längerer Lagerung des Behälters das Auftreten bzw. Eindringen von Keimen im Bereich der Dosenöffnung sowie gegebenenfalls in die Getränkedose vermeidet.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lid for a resealable container, which avoids the occurrence or penetration of germs in the can opening and optionally in the beverage can even when re-closing and prolonged storage of the container.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Deckel gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a lid according to claim 1.

Das Betätigungselement verfügt über zumindest ein zweites Dichtmittel, dass die zumindest eine Auslassöffnung gegen die Oberseite des Deckels abdichtet. Die Kombination zweier Dichtmittel führt dazu, dass das erste Dichtmittel, dass am Verschlusselement innenliegend angeordnet ist, ein Austreten des Getränkeinhalts über die Auslassöffnung verhindert, während das zweite Dichtmittel die Auslassöffnung gegen die Umgebung abdichtet und so das Eindringen von Keimen im Produktionszyklus, insbesondere während der Abfüllung, gegebenenfalls während einer Nachbehandlung und während des Transports bis zum Kunden an die Auslassöffnung verhindert.The actuating element has at least one second sealing means that seals the at least one outlet opening against the upper side of the lid. The combination of two sealant means that the first sealant disposed on the closure member prevents leakage of the beverage contents through the outlet opening, while the second sealant seals the outlet opening from the environment, thus preventing germs from entering the production cycle, particularly during the production cycle Filling, possibly during a post-treatment and during transport to the customer prevents the outlet.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass das zweite Dichtmittel einen ersten Bereich aufweist, der in der Offen-Stellung des Verschlusselements im Bereich der Auslassöffnung gelegen ist, und dass dieser erste Bereich nur einen Dichtwulst aufweist. Es ist vielfach unvermeidlich, dass das Dichtelement während der Öffnungsbewegung in einem ersten Bereich die Kante der Ausgießöffnung überstreicht. Eine Dichtlippe kann dabei bzw. während einer späteren Schließbewegung beschädigt oder zerstört werden. Daher ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn das Dichtelement in diesen Bereichen robust ausgebildet ist und beispielsweise nur einen Dichtwulst aufweist. In der Praxis wird das so ausgeführt, dass sich im Übergang zu diesem ersten Bereich Dichtlippe und Dichtwulst vereinigen. Damit wird eine partiell etwas verschlechterte Abdichtung in Kauf genommen, um Probleme beim Öffnen und Wiederverschließen zu vermeiden.The invention provides that the second sealing means has a first region, which is located in the open position of the closure element in the region of the outlet opening, and that this first region has only one sealing bead. It is often unavoidable that the sealing element during the opening movement in a first area sweeps over the edge of the pouring opening. A sealing lip can be damaged or destroyed during this or during a subsequent closing movement. Therefore, it is particularly advantageous if the sealing element is robust in these areas and, for example, has only one sealing bead. In practice, this is done so that unite in the transition to this first area sealing lip and sealing bead. Thus, a partially slightly deteriorated seal is accepted in order to avoid problems with opening and reclosing.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist beabstandet von der zumindest einen Auslassöffnung zumindest eine weitere den Deckel durchdringende Öffnung vorgesehen, die ebenfalls über das zweite Dichtmittel gegen die Oberseite des Deckels abgedichtet ist. Bei dieser zweiten den Deckel durchdringenden Öffnung handelt es sich um eine Druckausgleichsöffnung, die bei Betätigung des Betätigungselements zum Öffnen des Behälters zunächst freigelegt wird, um den üblicherweise in der Getränkedose herrschenden Überdruck, wenn diese mit einem kohlesäurehältigen Getränk gefüllt ist, abzulassen, um anschließend die Auslassöffnung selbst freizulegen. Auch diese zweite Öffnung ist anfällig für Verkeimung, so dass in dieser Ausführung der Erfindung auch diese Druckausgleichsöffnung über das zweite Dichtmittel, das an dem Betätigungselement angeordnet ist, abgedichtet wird. Ebenso kann jedoch vorgesehen sein, dass diese Öffnung über ein weiteres, drittes Dichtmittel, gegen Verkeimung durch die Umwelt geschützt ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, spaced apart from the at least one outlet opening, at least one further opening penetrating the lid is provided, which is likewise sealed against the top side of the lid via the second sealing means. In this second opening penetrating the lid is a pressure equalization opening, which is first exposed upon actuation of the actuating element for opening the container to drain the usually prevailing in the beverage can overpressure when it is filled with a carbonated beverage, then to the Expose outlet opening itself. Also, this second opening is susceptible to contamination, so that in this embodiment of the invention, this pressure equalization opening on the second sealing means, which is arranged on the actuating element, is sealed. Likewise, however, it may be provided that this opening is protected against contamination by the environment via a further, third sealant.

Eine besonders gute Abdichtung wird erzielt, wenn das zweite und/oder dritte Dichtmittel als Dichtlippe und/oder Dichtkante ausgebildet ist. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung schließt die Dichtlippe oder Dichtkante mit dem Deckelspiegel einen Winkel ungleich 90 Grad ein, was eine verbesserte Abdichtung gegen die Umgebung bewirkt.A particularly good seal is achieved if the second and / or third sealing means is designed as a sealing lip and / or sealing edge. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing lip or sealing edge with the lid mirror includes an angle not equal to 90 degrees, which causes an improved seal against the environment.

Hierbei ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das zweite Dichtmittel einstückig mit dem Betätigungsmittel ausgebildet ist. Dies erleichtert die Montage der Verschlusseinrichtung auf dem Deckel während der Fertigung und verringert Fehlstellungen und.damit in weiterer Folge Probleme mit den Dichteigenschaften des zweiten Dichtmittels.In this case, it is particularly preferably provided that the second sealing means is formed integrally with the actuating means. This facilitates the mounting of the closure device on the lid during manufacture and reduces misalignments and, as a result, problems with the sealing properties of the second sealant.

Da das Betätigungselement üblicherweise aus einem starrem Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt ist, während das Dichtmittel flexible Eigenschaften für die Abdichtung aufweisen muss, ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Betätigungselement als Zweikomponenten-Spritzgussteil gefertigt ist, um die einstückige Fertigung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Dichtmittel zu ermöglichen.Since the actuating element is usually made of a rigid plastic material, while the sealing means must have flexible properties for the sealing, it is particularly preferably provided that the actuating element as a two-component injection molded part is made to allow the one-piece production with the sealant according to the invention.

In einer weiteren Ausführung der Erfindung weist das Betätigungselement zumindest ein Gelenk auf, über das sich das zweite Dichtmittel erstreckt. Das Öffnen des Behälters und damit die Freilegung der Auslassöffnung wird dadurch erleichtert, dass das Betätigungselement ein Gelenk aufweist, das ein Anheben und/oder Verschieben des Betätigungselements erleichtert. Durch die Anordnung des zweiten Dichtmittels über das Gelenk ist gewährleistet, dass die Auslassöffnung und gegebenenfalls die Belüftungsöffnung sicher abgedichtet sind, wenn der Behälter wiederverschlossen wird. Die sichere Abdichtung der im Deckel befindlichen Öffnung sind insbesondere dann gewährleistet, wenn das zweite Dichtmittel im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Außenkante des Betätigungselements verläuft. Damit sind alle vom Betätigungselements abgedeckte Öffnung im Deckelspiegel durch das zweite Dichtmittel gegen die Umgebung abgedichtet.In a further embodiment of the invention, the actuating element has at least one joint over which the second sealing means extends. The opening of the container and thus the exposure of the outlet opening is facilitated by the fact that the actuating element has a joint which facilitates lifting and / or displacement of the actuating element. The arrangement of the second sealing means via the joint ensures that the outlet opening and optionally the ventilation opening are securely sealed when the container is resealed. The secure sealing of the opening in the cover are ensured in particular when the second sealing means extends substantially parallel to the outer edge of the actuating element. Thus, all covered by the actuator opening in the lid mirror are sealed by the second sealant against the environment.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist parallel zu dem zweiten Dichtmittel zumindest teilweise zumindest ein Abstandselement angeordnet. Das Dichtmittel ist durch den Innendruck und der daraus resultierenden Verformung des Behälterdeckels sowie beim Öffnen und Wiederverschließen des Behälters Kräften unterworfen, die den Verschleiß des Dichtmittels beschleunigen. Das Abstandselement, das bevorzugterweise als Außenkante ausgebildet ist, hat nun die Aufgabe, diese Kräfte abzufangen, um auf diese Weise eine mechanische Entkopplung zu erreichen und damit die Kräfteeinwirkung auf das Dichtmittel zu verringern.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least partially at least one spacer element is arranged parallel to the second sealing means. The sealant is subject to forces due to the internal pressure and the resulting deformation of the container lid as well as opening and reclosing the container, which accelerate the wear of the sealant. The spacer, which is preferably designed as an outer edge, now has the task of intercepting these forces in order to achieve a mechanical decoupling and thus to reduce the action of force on the sealant.

Im folgenden wird anhand eines nichteinschränkenden Ausführungsbeispiels mit zugehörigen Figuren die Erfindung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen schematisch:

  • Fig. 2 eine Schnittansicht des Deckels aus Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 eine Schnittansicht des in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Betätigungselements,
  • Fig. 4 die dem Deckelspiegel zugewandte Unterseite des Betätigungsmittels,

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a non-limiting embodiment with associated figures. In it show schematically:
  • Fig. 1 a perspective view of the lid according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 a sectional view of the lid Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 3 a sectional view of the in the Fig. 1 illustrated actuating element,
  • Fig. 4 the underside of the actuating means facing the lid mirror,
  • Fig. 5 a further embodiment of the second sealant in a sectional view, and
  • Fig. 5a and Fig. 5b Variants of Fig. 5 ,

In der Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Deckel 100 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht dargestellt, wobei auf dem Deckelspiegel 101 ein Betätigungselement 110 angeordnet ist, das zweiteilig aufgebaut ist, und das Betätigungselement 110 über ein Fixierelement 110a verfügt, das über ein Gelenk 111 mit einem Schiebeelement 110b in Verbindung steht.In the Fig. 1 a cover 100 according to the invention is shown in a perspective view, wherein on the cover mirror 101, an actuating element 110 is arranged, which is constructed in two parts, and the actuating element 110 has a fixing element 110a which is connected via a hinge 111 with a sliding element 110b.

Wie der Schnittansicht der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, weist der Deckelspiegel 101 eine Ausgießöffnung 103 auf, die in der Geschlossenstellung des Betätigungselementes 110 durch ein unterhalb des Deckelspiegels 101 angeordnetes Verschlusselement 120 verschlossen wird. Dieses Verschlusselement 120 verfügt über ein erstes Dichtungsmittel 121, das den Behälterinhalt gegen die Unterseite des Deckelspiegels 101 abdichtet und damit ein Auslaufen der wiederverschlossenen Getränkedose verhindert.Like the sectional view of the Fig. 2 it can be seen, the lid mirror 101 has a pouring opening 103, which is closed in the closed position of the actuating element 110 by a below the lid mirror 101 arranged closure member 120. This closure element 120 has a first sealing means 121, which seals the container contents against the underside of the lid mirror 101 and thus prevents leakage of the re-sealed beverage can.

In dem Deckelspiegel 101 ist des weiteren eine Öffnung angeordnet, die sich in dem Verschlusselement 120 als Druckausgleichsöffnung 122 fortsetzt, in die ein Zapfen 112 des Fixierelementes 110a eingreift, wenn der Behälter verschlossen ist.In the lid mirror 101, an opening is further arranged, which continues in the closure element 120 as a pressure equalization opening 122, in which a pin 112 of the fixing element 110a engages when the container is closed.

In der Fig. 3 ist das Betätigungselement 110 in einer Schnittdarstellung gezeigt, wobei an der Unterseite des Betätigungselements 110 ein zweites Dichtmittel 130 angeordnet ist, das sich im Wesentlichen entlang der Außenkante des Betätigungselements 110 erstreckt (Fig. 4).In the Fig. 3 If the actuating element 110 is shown in a sectional representation, a second sealing means 130, which extends essentially along the outer edge of the actuating element 110, is arranged on the lower side of the actuating element 110 ( Fig. 4 ).

Des weiteren ist ein drittes Dichtmittel 131 an dem Fixierelement 110a angeordnet und umgibt hierbei den Zapfen 112. Dieses dritte Dichtmittel 131 ist als Doppeldichtung ausgebildet, die eine Dichtlippe 131a und einen Dichtwulst 131b umfasst, der in der Art eines O_Rings ausgebildet ist. Dabei dient der Dichtwulst 131b nicht nur zur Abdichtung, sondern auch als Abstandselement, das die Dichtlippe vor übermäßiger Belastung bei unsachgemäßem Öffnen oder Verschließen schützt. Die Dichtlippe 131a schneidet die Auflageebene E1 des Betätigungselements 110 auf dem Deckelspiegel 101 unter einem Winkel von etwa 40° bis 50°. Durch die Anordnung des erfindungsgemäßen dritten Dichtmittels 131 an der Unterseite des Betätigungselements 110 wird bei verschlossenem Behälter die Druckausgleichsöffnung 122 gegen die Umgebung abgedichtet.Furthermore, a third sealing means 131 is arranged on the fixing element 110a and in this case surrounds the pin 112. This third sealing means 131 is designed as a double seal, which comprises a sealing lip 131a and a sealing bead 131b, which is formed in the manner of an O-ring. In this case, the sealing bead 131b serves not only for sealing, but also as a spacer element, which protects the sealing lip against excessive load in case of improper opening or closing. The sealing lip 131a intersects the support plane E1 of the actuating element 110 on the cover mirror 101 at an angle of about 40 ° to 50 °. By arranging the third sealing means 131 according to the invention on the underside of the actuating element 110, the pressure compensation opening 122 is sealed against the environment when the container is closed.

Das zweite und das dritte Dichtmittel 130, 131 sind in dieser Ausführung der Erfindung aus einem einzigen Material, nämlich jenem des Betätigungselementes 110 gefertigt. Die Dichtlippe 131 a ist dabei besonders schlank gestaltet, um eine ausreichende Flexibilität und damit Abdichtung zu erreichen.The second and third sealing means 130, 131 are made in this embodiment of the invention from a single material, namely that of the actuating element 110. The sealing lip 131 a is designed to be particularly slim in order to achieve sufficient flexibility and thus sealing.

In den Fig. 5 sind weitere Ausführungen des erfindungsgemäßen dritten Dichtmittels 131 dargestellt, wobei anzumerken ist, dass die folgenden Ausführungen auch für das zweite Dichtmittel 130 analog gelten.In the Fig. 5 further embodiments of the third sealant 131 according to the invention are shown, wherein it should be noted that the following statements also apply analogously to the second sealant 130.

Bei der Variante von Fig. 5 ist neben einer Dichtlippe 131 a zusätzlich ein Dichtwulst Dichtkante 131b vorgesehen, wobei das gesamte Dichtmittel 131 als weiche Komponente eines im Zweikomponenten-Spritzguss hergestellten Betätigungselementes 110 ausgeführt ist.In the variant of Fig. 5 In addition to a sealing lip 131 a in addition a sealing bead sealing edge 131 b is provided, wherein the entire sealant 131 is designed as a soft component of an actuator produced in two-component injection molding 110.

Die Variante der Fig. 5a sieht vor, dass nur die Dichtlippe 131 a aus einem weichen Material hergestellt ist, und in Fig. 5b ist eine Variante gezeigt, die ein Betätigungselement 110 mit Dichtmittel 131 aus einem einzigen Werkstoff vorsieht, was entsprechende Kostenvorteile bietet. In diesem Fall ist die Ausbildung der Dichtlippe 131 a wesentlich, um eine ausreichende Abdichtung zu gewährleisten.The variant of Fig. 5a provides that only the sealing lip 131 a is made of a soft material, and in Fig. 5b a variant is shown which provides an actuator 110 with sealing means 131 of a single material, which offers corresponding cost advantages. In this case, the formation of the sealing lip 131 a is essential to ensure adequate sealing.

Es versteht sich, dass der erfindungsgemäße Deckel nicht auf die oben beschriebene Ausführung beschränkt ist. Insbesondere kann das zweite Dichtmittel auf unterschiedliche Weise am Betätigungselement angeordnet sein, sowie unterschiedliche Querschnitte aufweisen. Wesentlich ist, dass die Auslassöffnung im Deckelspiegel sowie eine gegebenenfalls vorhandene Druckausgleichsöffnung durch passende Dichtmittel am Betätigungselement gegen die Umgebung abgedichtet sind.It is understood that the lid according to the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In particular, the second sealing means may be arranged in different ways on the actuating element, and have different cross-sections. It is essential that the outlet opening in the lid mirror and an optionally existing pressure equalization opening are sealed by suitable sealing means on the actuating element against the environment.
