Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cap for a container, which has a central closure means and radially projecting from the closure means elements.
  • Such a cap is for example from the WO 2008/050361 known.
  • Such caps are used in particular for squeeze bags.
  • a coupling part is inserted into the squeeze bag, which forms the opening of the container.
  • caps are used, which preferably communicate with the coupling via a safety closure.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop such a cap.
  • This object is achieved with a cap for a container, which has a central closure means and radially projecting from the closure means elements, wherein the elements define a radially outwardly open gap.
  • the elements protruding radially from the closure means are designed so that the elements delimit a gap which is open radially outwards. While in the cited references the handle portion is formed as an annular element, the closure cap according to the invention has a radially outwardly open gap. As a result, the radially projecting from the closure element elements themselves become the handle part.
  • the cap has more than five and preferably more than ten protruding elements.
  • the plurality of elements also leads to a variety of columns, which provide a special grip of the cap.
  • the gaps between the elements protruding from the closure means ensure an air passage when the cap should be swallowed and obstruct a trachea.
  • the radially protruding from the closure means elements thus ensure first by enlarging the cap that the cap can not be easily swallowed. However, even after ingestion of the cap, the gaps formed between the radially projecting elements continue to ensure that the trachea is not completely closed.
  • the radially outwardly open column can be used to plug the protruding from the closure means elements of a first cap in the radially outward open column another cap.
  • a non-positive or a positive connection can be achieved.
  • the protruding elements and the columns can thus form a plug-in device with which a plurality of caps are connected to each other.
  • a plug-in device for connecting a plurality of caps with each other can also be achieved by the further embodiment of the elements.
  • the elements may have concave and convex ends which allow a convex shaped end of an element of a first cap to be connected to a concave shaped end of an element of another cap.
  • a latching plug-in device makes it possible to define a special force with which several caps have to be moved towards one another in order to achieve a plug connection. This force can be set so that the caps are not accidentally inserted into each other during transport and during processing, but on the other hand, after opening the closure with a pleasant for the user force can be plugged into each other.
  • the interaction of elements and columns should ensure that with high stability of a radially spaced grip element little material is needed, preferably a simple plug connection is made possible and a high air permeability remains at a swallowed cap.
  • This is achieved, for example, in that the elements bound in the axial direction of the central closure means a radially outwardly open channel. This channel allows a material saving, the insertion of an element of another cap and a high air flow.
  • the radially projecting from the closure means elements may have different shapes. It is advantageous if the elements are designed as rods. Such radially projecting from the closure means rods lead to a hedgehog-like appearance. A thickening at the ends of the rods, for example as a spherical or hemispherical end, improves the grip, reduces the risk of injury and allows a klettenartiges connecting multiple caps.
  • the rods are preferably arranged so that their axes intersect substantially at a point and / or on a line.
  • elements are formed as ribs.
  • the formation of the elements as ribs ensures that the elements can be made easily tangible and stable.
  • the closure means comprises a rotary closure
  • the axis in which the planes of the ribs intersect extends through the closure means. It is particularly advantageous if the longitudinal axis of a thread of the closure means corresponds to the axis of the intersecting planes.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the elements have a convex outer side.
  • the elements have a convex outer side.
  • the length and shape of ribs or bars can be set so that the elements have any envelope or envelope.
  • the elements can thus define a cuboid grip part, a cylindrical grip part or, for example, an egg-shaped grip part. It is advantageous if the elements have a spherical or hemispherical enveloping surface. This results in a ball-like handle, in which preferably the central closure means is integrated, so that the entire cap is formed substantially spherical or hemispherical.
  • a compact design results from the fact that the central closure means has an internal thread, which is arranged radially within one end of the elements. As a result, the central closure means is at least partially disposed within the envelope surface of the elements.
  • the central closure means has a safety closure, which is arranged at a distance from the elements. As a result, the function of the safety closure is not affected by the elements.
  • An alternative embodiment provides a cap for a container with a central closure means and a radially projecting from the closure member element, wherein the element is integral with the cap and annular.
  • a simple ring provides a simple construction of a cap. If this ring is not completely closed, the ring of another cap can be connected to the ring of a first cap. It is advantageous if the central axis of the ring intersects a central axis of the closure means.
  • a method of using such a cap provides that a plurality of such caps are latched into one another. While already a positive or a positive connection are advantageous, the latching connection opens up further advantages.
  • cap 1 is a screw cap for a squeeze bag (not shown).
  • squeeze bags have as opening a coupling which is partly welded in the squeeze bag and from which a tube piece with external thread protrudes from the squeeze bag. On this external thread (not shown), the cap 1 is screwed.
  • the cap 1 has a central closure means 2, of which radial elements 3, 4, 5 (numbered only by way of example) protrude. Between the elements 3, 4, 5, a gap 6, 7 is provided in each case. This gap 6, 7 is slightly conical and it is bounded on two opposite sides by walls 8, 9 of the elements 3, 4, 5. The gap is open radially outward and, radially inward, the gap adjoins the walls 8, 9, which are located close together in the area of the central closure means.
  • a thickening 10, 11 (numbered only as an example) is provided in the radially outer region of the elements 3, 4, 5, a thickening 10, 11 (numbered only as an example) is provided.
  • the elements are designed as ribs, which have such a thickening 10, 11 only in their central region.
  • the rib-shaped elements 3, 4, 5 with their thickenings 10, 11 and the gaps 6, 7 formed therebetween define a plug-in device 12, which makes it possible to connect a plurality of caps 1 together.
  • the thickenings 10, 11 are designed so that the caps can be snapped into one another.
  • the elements 3, 4, 5 are formed as rods or ribs, they form between them a radially outwardly open channel 13, which extends in the axial direction of the central closure means 2.
  • the channel 13 is in each case between two radially projecting from the closure means 2 elements 3, 4, fifth
  • the cap 1 has a central axis 14 which lies in the center of the central closure means 2 and from which the elements 3, 4, 5 extend radially. Layers (not shown) in the elements 3, 4, 5 formed as ribs thus intersect substantially in this axis 14.
  • the elements 3, 4, 5 have a rounded outer surface, which leads to a convex outer side of the cap 1. Together, the elements form a spherical envelope that can be used as a handle. With this handle, the cap 1 can be screwed off with a female thread 15 arranged radially inside one end of the elements 3, 4, 5, from a coupling part of a crimping bag provided with an external thread. The first time unscrewing the cap from the coupling piece tears a connecting bridge on the safety closure 16, so you can easily see later that the bag was already open.
  • FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment of a cap 20 shows the FIG. 3 , This cap is shown in the figure together with a coupling piece 21 of a crimping bag (not shown).
  • This coupling piece 21 has at its upper end a thread (not shown) on which the cap 20 is screwed to the closure means 22.
  • On this coupling piece also one of the cap shown in the other figures can be screwed.
  • the annular member 23 projects radially, so that above the closure means 22, an annular air space 24 is provided. This air space 24 allows an air flow at a swallowed cap, while the annular member 23 allows easy unscrewing of the closure means 22 from the coupling part 21.
  • a ring break 25 may be provided as a cut in the ring, which makes it possible to bend the ring so that another ring of another closure can be inserted into the first ring.
  • a hemispherical cap is in the FIG. 4 shown.
  • This cap is essentially like the one in the FIGS. 1 and 2 constructed cap and makes it possible to provide the functional elements of the spherical cap with less material and a shorter design.
