Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lid for a container, in particular for a can, which has a lid mirror with a first lid mirror penetrating opening; an inner member disposed on an inner side of the lid mirror and having a ventilation opening penetrating the inner member and aligned with the first opening; and an actuator disposed on an outer side of the lid mirror, and wherein a closing member is provided for closing the vent opening.
  • Lid for a container of the type mentioned are known from the prior art.
  • the closing element in the form of a pin is usually pressed with a certain force in the ventilation opening and thereby secured, for example, that a seal presses laterally against the pin.
  • An embodiment of a closure for the ventilation opening with a pin is, for example, in EP 2711307 disclosed.
  • the ventilation openings according to the prior art have a sufficiently small cross section, so that it remains securely closed, even if, for example, a carbonated beverage is in the container and thereby an internal pressure is present. However, the internal pressure can also be caused by a heating of a portion of air in the container.
  • the vent opening is to have a larger cross-section to allow for the introduction of a drinking straw, the pressure on the pin may be so great that it is pressed on, which is disadvantageous.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the mentioned disadvantage and to allow a safe multiple closure of the ventilation opening.
  • the lid according to the invention for a container comprises: a lid mirror with a first opening that penetrates the lid mirror; an inner member disposed on an inner side of the lid mirror and having a ventilation opening penetrating the inner member and aligned with the first opening; a disposed on an outer side of the lid mirror actuating element, which is preferably made of plastic, wherein the actuating element has a first and a second hinge portion which divide the actuating element into a first, a second and a third portion, and the second portion between the first and the third section is arranged; wherein the first portion of the actuating element is arranged adjacent to the lid mirror; the second portion of the actuating element is pivotable relative to the first portion about the first hinge portion and the second portion has a closing element, in particular a pin, for closing the ventilation opening; the third portion of the actuating element is pivotable relative to the second portion about the second hinge portion and the third portion has a first coupling element; and the inner member has a second
  • first and second coupling elements which can be coupled to one another on the third section or on the inner element, a connection is established between the third section and the inner element.
  • the lid according to the invention can be further developed in that the first and second coupling element in the coupled state when exerting pressure on the closing element, starting from an interior of the container provide a retaining force, in particular a retaining force perpendicular to the lid mirror, which prevents the pressing out of the closing element from the ventilation opening. This prevents that, for example, when a pin as a closing element, this is pushed out of the ventilation opening at a pressure exerted on the pin from the inside of the container (for example, by a carbonated beverage enclosed therein).
  • the first and the second coupling element may be complementary to each other and engageable with each other.
  • a connection between the third section and the inner element can be produced in a simple manner.
  • the first coupling element may be formed as one or more eyelets and the second coupling element as one or more detents or vice versa, wherein respective detents are engageable with respective eyelets.
  • the coupling between the first and the second coupling element can be self-locking, in particular in such a way that a pressure force on the closing element is transmitted to the first coupling element in such a way that it counteracts a decoupling direction of the coupling elements. In this way it is prevented that a pressure exerted from the inside of the container ago unintentional opening, ie pushing out of the closing element, the result, for example, by bending the actuating element and associated decoupling of the coupling elements.
  • the joint areas may be formed in a straight line, in particular parallel to each other.
  • the joint areas may be formed as areas of the actuating element with reduced material thickness, in particular as notches, which are preferably provided on a side facing away from the lid mirror. In this way, the joint areas manufacturing technology can be easily realized.
  • one or more struts between the second and third sections can be provided which, starting from a planar alignment of the second and third sections, enable pivoting in a first direction, in particular by compressibility or buckling of the struts , and make the pivoting in a second direction opposite to the first direction difficult, in particular by the application of force when pivoting in the second direction relative to the application of force when pivoting in the first direction is greater.
  • This has the advantage that buckling of the third section against the opening direction is made more difficult when the closure is open.
  • a buckling or compression of the struts serve as a tamper-evident, to recognize an already opened and re-closed container.
  • the aforementioned development can in turn be developed to the effect that the first direction can be directed away from the cover mirror, wherein in particular the first direction is annenklappraum the third section in an opening of the container. In this way, an undesired folding in of the third section in the direction of the cover mirror is avoided or at least made more difficult.
  • the first and second coupling element can be coupled to one another several times in succession and decoupled again, thereby providing reclosability of the ventilation opening.
  • the ventilation opening can be repeatedly opened and closed again, which in particular, for example, outgassing of CO 2 is avoided from a carbonated beverage in an already open container.
  • a second opening may be provided in the cover mirror and by folding away the inner element from the inside of the cover mirror, a fluid connection between the second opening and a container interior can be produced.
  • This second opening may be, for example, a pouring and / or drinking opening.
  • This second opening is sealed on the inside of the lid mirror by the inner member and it can be released by folding away the inner member of the lid mirror away into the interior of the container, so that, for example, the liquid can be poured into the container.
  • the aforementioned development can in turn be developed to the effect that the first portion of the actuating element is connected to the inner element or contactable, in particular a sliding movement permitting each other, and the inner member is folded away by a displacement of the first portion of the actuating element.
  • the lid may further include an inner slider disposed on the inside of the lid knob, wherein the first portion of the actuator is connected to the inner slider and a unit of the first portion of the actuator and the inner slider is slidable along the lid mirror , wherein furthermore the inner sliding element with the Innelement connected or contacted, in particular a sliding movement permitting each other, and the inner member is folded away by a displacement of the unit.
  • the invention also provides a container, in particular a can, comprising: a body; and a lid according to the invention or one of its developments listed above.
  • Fig. 1 schematically a first embodiment of a lid 100 according to the invention is shown.
  • the cover 100 comprises a cover mirror 110 with a first opening 115 penetrating the cover mirror; an inner member 120 disposed on an inner side of the lid mirror 110 having a ventilation opening (pressure compensating opening) 125 penetrating the inner member 120 and aligned with the first opening 115; a disposed on an outer side of the lid mirror actuator 130, which is formed for example of plastic, wherein the actuating member 130 has a first hinge portion 141 and a second hinge portion 142 which the actuator 130 in a first portion 131, a second portion 132 and a third portion Divide 133, and the second portion 132 is disposed between the first portion 131 and the third portion 133; wherein the first portion 131 of the actuating member 130 is disposed adjacent the lid mirror 110; the second portion 132 of the actuating member 130 is pivotable relative to the first portion 131 about the first hinge portion 141 and the second portion 132 has a pin 135 for closing the ventilation hole 125; the third portion 133 of the
  • the actuating element 130 is connected to the inner element 120, for example by riveting 150 of the first section 131 through the cover mirror 110 with the inner element 120.
  • the first coupling element 161 is exemplarily formed on the actuating element 130 as an eyelet 161 and the second coupling element 162 on the inner element 120 is formed as a nose which can engage in the eyelet.
  • a force is exerted on the pin 135, the second portion 132 of the actuating member 130 can bulge slightly outward.
  • the eyelet 161 is pressed against the inner element 120 and the nose 162, ie counter to the decoupling direction.
  • the ventilation opening is therefore self-locking locked.
