Definitions
- the invention relates to a cap for a container, which has a central closure means and radially projecting from the closure means ribs, according to the preamble of claim 1, as from US 2012/228 257 A1 known.
- cap for a container which has a central closure means and radially projecting from the closure means elements, for example, from 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.
- caps show the DE 296 08 463 U1 in which the radially projecting ribs are designed as protection against suffocation when swallowing the cap, and the DE 10 2007 060896 A1 and the WO 99/51507 A1 that describe ribbed caps with spherically rounded outer contours.
- the invention has for its object to further develop such a cap. This object is achieved with a cap for a container having the features of claim 1.
- the ribs which protrude radially from the closure means are formed in a manner known per se so that the ribs delimit radially open gaps.
- the cap according to the invention thus has open radially outward column. As a result, the ribs projecting radially from the closure means themselves become the grip part.
- the gaps between the protruding ribs allow for a special shape and grip of the handle part, which makes it easier to apply even greater rotational forces to the cap.
- the cap has more than five and preferably more than ten protruding ribs.
- the plurality of ribs also leads to a variety of columns that provide a special grip of the cap.
- the gaps between the ribs projecting from the closure means ensure passage of air when the cap is to be swallowed and obstructs a trachea.
- the ribs projecting radially from the closure means thus initially ensure, by enlarging the cap, that the cap can not easily be swallowed.
- the gaps formed between the radially projecting ribs continue to ensure that the trachea is not completely closed, because a channel remains open radially outwards, which allows a high air flow.
- the radially outwardly open column can be used to plug the protruding from the closure means ribs of a first cap in the radially outward open column another cap.
- a non-positive or a positive connection can be achieved.
- the ribs according to the invention have a thickening in each case in their radially outer region. Such a material reinforcement results in that a positive connection between two caps can be achieved in a simple manner.
- the protruding ribs and the gaps can thus form a plug-in device with which a plurality of caps can be connected to one another.
- 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 ribs 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.
- ribs and columns should ensure that with high stability of a radially spaced grip element little material is needed, preferably a simple connector is ennöglicht and high air permeability remains at a swallowed cap. This is achieved in that the ribs in the axial direction of the central closure means between them radially outward limit open channels.
- the radially projecting from the closure means ribs may have different shapes.
- the ribs 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.
- the ribs have a convex outer side. It is advantageous that in the axial direction of the closure means there is an arcuate outline which allows a substantially spherical grip part.
- the ribs have a spherical or hemispherical enveloping surface.
- 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 ribs. As a result, the central closure means is at least partially disposed within the envelope surface of the ribs.
- the central closure means has a safety closure, which is arranged at a distance from the ribs. As a result, the function of the safety closure is not affected by the ribs.
- An alternative embodiment not belonging to the invention 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 non-inventive method for 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, from which elements 3, 4, 5 designed radially as ribs project (numbered only by way of example). Between the elements 3, 4, 5, a gap 6, 7 is provided in each case. These gaps 6, 7 are slightly conical and are bounded on two opposite sides by walls 8, 9 of the elements 3, 4, 5. After radially outward, each gap is open and, radially inwardly, each gap adjoins the walls 8, 9, which are located close together in the region of the central closure means.
- a thickening 10, 11 (numbered only as an example) is provided in the radially outer region of all 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 in the form of ribs each form between them a radially outwardly open channel 13, which extends in the axial direction of the central closure means 2.
- the channel 13 thus lies in each case between two elements 3, 4, 5 projecting radially from the closure means 2.
- the cap 1 has a central axis 14 which lies in the center of the central closure means 2 and from which the rib-shaped elements 3, 4, 5 extend radially. levels (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 to a safety lock 16, so you can easily see later that the bag was already open.
- FIG. 3 An alternative, non-inventive 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), to which the cap 20 is screwed to the closure means 22.
- On this coupling piece also one of the caps 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 in accordance with the claimed invention is disclosed in U.S.P. 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.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine derartige Verschlusskappe weiterzuentwickeln. Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Kappe für ein Behältnis gelöst, die die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 hat.The invention has for its object to further develop such a cap. This object is achieved with a cap for a container having the features of claim 1.
Es ist bekannt, um das Verschlussteil sich radial erstreckende Stege anzubringen, die ein ringförmiges Griffteil halten. Da das Verschlussmittel in der Regel ein Gewinde aufweist, erleichtert das radial beabstandete Griffteil durch den vergrößerten Hebel, das Gewinde zu drehen. Da beim Öffnen des Verschlussmittels häufig eine mit der Kappe verbundene Sicherheitseinrichtung gelöst werden muss, werden größere Kräfte als bei einem einfachen Schraubverschluss benötigt. Das durch die Stege radial vom Verschlussmittel beabstandete ring- oder zylinderförmiges Griffteil erleichtert es somit, das Verschlussmittel zu öffnen.It is known to attach the closure member radially extending webs which hold an annular handle portion. Since the closure means usually has a thread, the radially spaced grip part facilitates by the enlarged lever to rotate the thread. Since a safety device connected to the cap often has to be loosened when opening the closure means, larger forces are required than with a simple screw cap. The annular or cylindrical grip part which is radially spaced from the closure means by the webs thus makes it easier to open the closure means.
An der erfindungsgemäßen Kappe sind die radial vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen in an sich bekannter Weise so ausgebildet, dass die Rippen nach radial außen offene Spalte begrenzen. Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe hat also nach radial außen offene Spalte. Dadurch werden die radial vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen selbst zum Griffteil.On the cap according to the invention, the ribs which protrude radially from the closure means are formed in a manner known per se so that the ribs delimit radially open gaps. The cap according to the invention thus has open radially outward column. As a result, the ribs projecting radially from the closure means themselves become the grip part.
Außerdem ermöglichen die Spalte zwischen den abstehenden Rippen eine besondere Formgebung und Griffigkeit des Griffteils, die es erleichtert, auch größere Drehkräfte auf die Kappe aufzubringen. Durch die Erhöhung der Anzahl der abstehenden Rippen wird auf einfache Art und Weise die Stabilität des Griffteils im Hinblick auf die Übertragung der Kräfte vom Griffteil auf das zentrale Verschlussmittel erhöht. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, dass die Kappe mehr als fünf und vorzugsweise mehr als zehn abstehende Rippen aufweist. Die Vielzahl der Rippen führt auch zu einer Vielzahl an Spalten, die für eine besondere Griffigkeit der Kappe sorgen.In addition, the gaps between the protruding ribs allow for a special shape and grip of the handle part, which makes it easier to apply even greater rotational forces to the cap. By increasing the number of protruding ribs, the stability of the grip part with regard to the transmission of forces from the grip part to the central closure means is increased in a simple manner. It is therefore proposed that the cap has more than five and preferably more than ten protruding ribs. The plurality of ribs also leads to a variety of columns that provide a special grip of the cap.
Außerdem gewährleisten die Spalte zwischen den vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen einen Luftdurchgang, wenn die Kappe verschluckt werden sollte und eine Luftröhre versperrt. Die radial vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen sorgen somit zunächst durch eine Vergrößerung der Kappe dafür, dass die Kappe nicht leicht verschluckt werden kann. Selbst nach einem Verschlucken der Kappe sorgen jedoch weiterhin die zwischen den radial abstehenden Rippen gebildeten Spalte dafür, dass die Luftröhre nicht vollständig verschlossen wird, denn es bleibt nach radial außen ein Kanal offen, der einen hohen Luftdurchfluss ermöglicht.In addition, the gaps between the ribs projecting from the closure means ensure passage of air when the cap is to be swallowed and obstructs a trachea. The ribs projecting radially from the closure means thus initially ensure, by enlarging the cap, that the cap can not easily be swallowed. However, even after swallowing the cap, the gaps formed between the radially projecting ribs continue to ensure that the trachea is not completely closed, because a channel remains open radially outwards, which allows a high air flow.
Außerdem können die nach radial außen offenen Spalte dafür verwendet werden, die vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen einer ersten Kappe in die nach radial außen offenem Spalte einer weiteren Kappe zu stecken. Dabei kann eine kraftschlüssige oder eine formschlüssige Verbindung erzielt werden.In addition, the radially outwardly open column can be used to plug the protruding from the closure means ribs of a first cap in the radially outward open column another cap. In this case, a non-positive or a positive connection can be achieved.
Die Rippen weisen weiter erfindungsgemäß jeweils in ihrem radial äußeren Bereich eine Verdickung auf. Eine derartige Materialverstärkung führt dazu, dass auf einfache Art und Weise ein Formschluss zwischen zwei Kappen erzielt werden kann.Furthermore, the ribs according to the invention have a thickening in each case in their radially outer region. Such a material reinforcement results in that a positive connection between two caps can be achieved in a simple manner.
Die abstehenden Rippen und die Spalte können somit eine Steckeinrichtung bilden, mit der mehrere Kappen miteinander verbindbar sind. Eine Steckeinrichtung zur Verbindung mehrerer Kappen miteinander kann jedoch auch durch die weitere Ausgestaltung der Elemente erzielt werden. So können die Rippen konkave und konvexe Enden aufweisen, die es ermöglichen, ein konvex geformtes Ende eines Elementes einer ersten Kappe mit einem konkav geformten Ende eines Elementes einer anderen Kappe zu verbinden.The protruding ribs and the gaps can thus form a plug-in device with which a plurality of caps can be connected to one another. However, a plug-in device for connecting a plurality of caps with each other can also be achieved by the further embodiment of the elements. Thus, the ribs 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.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Rippen eine rastende Steckeinrichtung bilden. Eine rastende Steckeinrichtung ermöglicht es, eine spezielle Kraft festzulegen, mit der mehrere Kappen aufeinander zu bewegt werden müssen, um eine Steckverbindung zu erzielen. Diese Kraft kann derart festgelegt werden, dass die Kappen beim Transport und bei der Verarbeitung nicht versehentlich ineinander gesteckt werden, aber andererseits nach Öffnen des Verschlusses mit einer für den Nutzer angenehmen Kraft ineinander gesteckt werden können.It is advantageous if the ribs form a latching plug-in device. 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.
Das Zusammenwirken von Rippen und Spalten soll dafür sorgen, dass bei hoher Stabilität eines radial beabstandeten Griffelementes wenig Material benötigt wird, vorzugsweise eine einfache Steckverbindung ennöglicht wird und eine hohe Luftdurchlässigkeit bei einer verschluckten Kappe verbleibt. Dies wird dadurch erzielt, dass die Rippen in axialer Richtung des zentralen Verschlussmittels zwischen sich nach radial außen offene Kanäle begrenzen.The interaction of ribs and columns should ensure that with high stability of a radially spaced grip element little material is needed, preferably a simple connector is ennöglicht and high air permeability remains at a swallowed cap. This is achieved in that the ribs in the axial direction of the central closure means between them radially outward limit open channels.
Die radial vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Rippen können unterschiedliche Formen aufweisen.The radially projecting from the closure means ribs may have different shapes.
Die Rippen können leicht greifbar und stabil ausgebildet werden.The ribs can be made easily tangible and stable.
Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in den Rippen liegende Ebenen sich im Wesentlichen in einer Achse schneiden.It is advantageous if planes lying in the ribs intersect substantially in one axis.
Insbesondere wenn das Verschlussmittel einen Drehverschluss aufweist, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich die Achse, in der sich die Ebenen der Rippen schneiden, durch das Verschlussmittel erstreckt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Längsachse eines Gewindes des Verschlussmittels der Achse der sich schneidenden Ebenen entspricht.In particular, when the closure means comprises a rotary closure, it is advantageous if 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.
Die Rippen weisen eine konvex geformte Außenseite auf. Es ist vorteilhaft, dass in axialer Richtung des Verschlussmittels eine bogenförmige Außenlinie vorliegt, die ein im Wesentlichen kugelförmiges Griffteil ermöglicht.The ribs have a convex outer side. It is advantageous that in the axial direction of the closure means there is an arcuate outline which allows a substantially spherical grip part.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es weiterhin, dass die Rippen eine kugelartige oder eine halbkugelartige Hüllfläche aufweisen. Dadurch entsteht ein kugelartiger Griff, in den vorzugsweise das zentrale Verschlussmittel integriert ist, sodass die gesamte Kappe im Wesentlichen kugelförmig oder halbkugelförmig ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, furthermore, the ribs 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.
Eine kompakte Bauform entsteht dadurch, dass das zentrale Verschlussmittel ein Innengewinde aufweist, das radial innerhalb eines Endes der Rippen angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist das zentrale Verschlussmittel zumindest teilweise innerhalb der Hüllfläche der Rippen angeordnet.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 ribs. As a result, the central closure means is at least partially disposed within the envelope surface of the ribs.
Vorteilhaft ist es wenn das zentrale Verschlussmittel einen Sicherheitsverschluss aufweist, der beabstandet von den Rippen angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird die Funktion des Sicherheitsverschlusses durch die Rippen nicht beeinträchtigt.It is advantageous if the central closure means has a safety closure, which is arranged at a distance from the ribs. As a result, the function of the safety closure is not affected by the ribs.
Eine nicht zur Erfindung zählende alternative Ausführungsvariante sieht eine Kappe für ein Behältnis mit einem zentralen Verschlussmittel und einem radial vom Verschlussmittel abstehenden Element vor, bei der das Element einstückig mit der Kappe und ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Ein derart einfacher Ring gewährt einen einfachen Aufbau einer Kappe. Wenn dieser Ring nicht vollständig geschlossen ist, kann der Ring einer weiteren Kappe mit dem Ring einer ersten Kappe verbunden werden. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die zentrale Achse des Ringes eine zentrale Achse des Verschlussmittels schneidet.An alternative embodiment not belonging to the invention 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. Such 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.
Für alle beschriebenen Kappen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sie einstückig im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Dies ermöglicht eine schnelle preisgünstige Herstellung.For all described caps, it is advantageous if they are produced in one piece by injection molding. This allows a fast and inexpensive production.
Ein nicht erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zur Verwendung einer derartigen Kappe sieht vor, dass mehrere derartige Kappen rastend ineinander gesteckt werden. Während bereits eine formschlüssige oder eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung vorteilhaft sind, erschließt die rastende Verbindung weitere Vorteile.A non-inventive method for 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.

Die Kappe 1 hat ein zentrales Verschlussmittel 2, von dem radial als Rippen ausgebildete Elemente 3, 4, 5 (nur beispielhaft beziffert) abstehen. Zwischen den Elementen 3, 4, 5 ist jeweils ein Spalt 6, 7 vorgesehen.
