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
Das gattungsbildende Dokument
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.
