Definitions
- the invention relates to a can closure for insertion into a can lid of a can, in particular a beverage can.
- a can closure which can be used, for example, in a beverage can.
- This known can closure consists essentially of a closure bottom, a closure top and a closure lid, wherein the can closure is made in one piece from plastic.
- the closure bottom is inserted into a can opening in the can lid and welded to the mouth edge of the can opening.
- the can closure is then initially in a transport position flat on the top of the can lid.
- the closure top is then folded onto the closure bottom, wherein the closure upper part pushes out a sealing element in the final part of the closure and thereby opens the beverage can.
- the closure lid is then opened upwards by the upper closure part in order to be able to remove liquid from the can.
- the closure lid can then be folded back onto the closure top to close the beverage can again.
- This known can closure advantageously makes it possible to reclose the can after a liquid withdrawal.
- a disadvantage of this known can closure is the fact that the inside pressure of the can presses against the can closure from the inside, so that the can closure must be sufficiently pressure-resistant.
- the welding between the can interior part and the mouth edge of the can opening must be sufficiently stable.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a correspondingly improved can closure.
- the can closure according to the invention initially has an outer closure part, which is in the mounted state outside the can and is inserted into a can opening in the can lid.
- the closure outer part can be constructed in a similar manner as in the known can closure described in the introduction according to EP 1 542 909 B1, so that the content of this patent can be fully attributed to the present description with regard to the structural design of the closure outer part.
- the can closure according to the invention has a closure inner part, which is assembled in the assembled state with the closure outer part and is located inside the can, wherein the closure inner part is supported from below on the can lid.
- the inner tube pressure in the can pushes this closure inner part from below against the underside of the can lid.
- the closure inner part thus decreases in the case of the can closed the inside of the can, which acts on the welding between the closure bottom and the mouth edge of the can opening in the known can closure according to EP 1 542 909 B1 described in the introduction.
- the closure inner part has a pouring opening which lies below the can opening, so that a liquid withdrawal is possible through the pouring opening and the can opening.
- a sealing element is inserted into the pouring opening of the closure inner part, which rests against the closure inner part from below and seals the pouring opening in the closure inner part, provided that no liquid removal is to take place.
- the sealing element rests from below on the mouth edge of the pouring opening on the closure inner part and is pressed by the inner pressure of the can on the mouth edge of the pouring opening of the closure inner part.
- the inner tube pressure thus does not act on a weld between the mouth edge of the can opening and the closure bottom, as is the case in the prior art.
- the can closure according to the invention is therefore substantially more resistant to pressure and therefore particularly well suited for beverage cans for carbonated drinks.
- closure outer part can be constructed in a similar manner as in the case of the can closure according to EP 1 542 909 B1.
- the closure outer part therefore preferably has a closure lower part which in the mounted state into the can opening in the can lid is inserted and has a pouring opening, which lies above the can opening.
- the closure outer part preferably has an upper closure part which is pivotally connected to the closure lower part and has a pouring opening which lies above the pouring opening in the closure lower part, wherein the closure upper part is pivotable from a delivery position into a use position.
- closure outer part preferably has a closure lid, which is mounted pivotably on the closure upper part in order to close the pouring opening in the closure upper part optionally in a closed position or to open it in a removal position.
- closure lid which is mounted pivotably on the closure upper part in order to close the pouring opening in the closure upper part optionally in a closed position or to open it in a removal position.
- Closure upper part and the closure lower part are in this case preferably in coincidence with the can opening in the can, so that a liquid removal through the can opening and the pouring openings in closure inner part, closure bottom and closure top is possible.
- a tamper-evident element is used, which is connected by at least one predetermined breaking point with the closing part. The closure top then breaks this tamper-evident element out of the closure bottom when the closure top is pivoted from the delivery position to the use position.
- the closure top preferably has at least one projection on its underside which protrudes downwards.
- this projection can also be attached to the underside of the closure lid.
- the tamper-evident element preferably has at least one connecting element (eg pin) in order to produce a mechanical connection with the sealing element. put.
- this pin of the tamper-evident element is pressed into a corresponding bore in the sealing element and thereby establishes a clamping connection between the sealing element and the tamper-evident element.
- the tamper-evident element and the sealing element are then broken out together and then preferably fall into the can.
- the tamper-evident element and the sealing element are in this case preferably dimensioned such that both together can no longer escape from the can opening, but remain permanently in the can.
- closure outer part, the closure interior part, the closure shell, the closure bottom part and / or the closure lid are preferably made of plastic, wherein the entire can closure or at least the closure outer part can be made in one piece.
- the closure outer part is preferably connected by a welded connection or an adhesive connection to the closure inner part, in particular by a welded connection or an adhesive connection between the inner closure inner part and the outer closure lower part.
- the closure inner part is preferably supported on a surface on the underside of the can lid, which is at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or at least 90% of the inner surface of the can lid. This distinguishes the can closure according to the invention also from the known can closure according to EP 1 542 909 B1, in which the can closure is supported on the inside of the can lid only at the mouth edge of the can opening. The closure inner part is thus supported on a surface on the underside of the can lid, which is preferably at least 0.5 cm 2 , 1 cm 2 or 1.5 cm 2 .
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective external view of the can closure from FIG. 1 in a position of use with a closed closure lid
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective exterior view of the can closure from FIGS. 1 and 2 with the closure lid open
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective inside view of the can lid from FIGS. 1 to 3 with the can closure according to the invention
- 5 shows a perspective inside view of the can lid with an open can closure
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the closure inner part with a sealing lip
- FIG. 7 shows an enlarged detail view of the sealing lip from FIG. 6.
- FIG. 1 show a can closure 1 according to the invention, which is mounted in a can lid 2 of a beverage can, wherein the can closure 1 is particularly suitable for beverage cans for carbonated beverages due to its compressive strength.
- the can closure 1 consists essentially of an inner closure part 3 and a closure outer part consisting of a closure bottom part 4 and an upper closure part 5 and a closure lid 6.
- the closure bottom part 4 When the can closure 1 is being mounted, the closure bottom part 4 is inserted into a can opening in the can lid 2 and contains a pouring opening 7, which is initially closed by an original securing element 8 in the delivery position shown in FIG.
- the upper closure part is pivotably attached to the closure bottom 4 by means of a film hinge 9 and initially lies flat on the can lid 2 in the delivery position shown in FIG.
- closure lid 6 is pivotably attached to the closure top 5 by means of a further film hinge 10. brought and initially unfolded in the delivery position shown in Figure 1 on the upper closure part, so that the closure lid 6 is then between the upper closure part 5 and the can lid 2.
- the closure upper part 5 is pivoted by means of the film hinge 9 onto the closure bottom part 4.
- two projections 11, 12 press on the inside of the closure top 5 against two projections 13, 14 on the outside of the tamper-evident element 8, whereby the tamper-evident element 8 is broken inwards into the interior of the can.
- the can closure 1 also has a sealing element 15, which rests against the opening edge of the pouring opening in the closure inner part 3 from the inside and receives the internal dose of the can.
- tamper-evident element 8 During assembly, two pins 16, 17 are pressed into the corresponding holes in the sealing element 15 on the underside of the tamper-evident element 8 and thereby establish a clamping connection between the tamper-evident element 8 and the sealing element 15.
- the tamper-evident element 8 therefore falls into the can together with the sealing element 15.
- the tamper-evident element 8 is in this case dimensioned together with the sealing element 15 so that both can not escape together again from the beverage can.
- closure lid 6 For liquid removal, the closure lid 6 is then pivoted from the closed position shown in Figure 2 into the removal position shown in Figure 3 to liquid pour out of the beverage can. The pivoting of the closure lid 6 is facilitated by a molded onto the closure lid 6 handle 18.
- the closure top 5 has a pour spout 19 to facilitate pouring out of Ge ⁇ beverage can.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show that a sealing lip 20, which surrounds the can opening in the can lid 2 and rests against the underside of the can lid 2 in the mounted state, is formed on the upper side of the closure inner part 3.
- the sealing lip 20 consists of a softer, more elastic material than the closure inner part 3 in order to achieve a good sealing effect.
- the sealing lip 20 is molded onto the closure inner part 3.
