- closures achieve a hermetic seal of containers for packaging and preserving food, in particular of
- Baby food or sports nutrition The food can be filled hot and after closing and cooling creates a vacuum that can significantly complicate the Loscardgraphy the cap by the consumer.
- the closure lid comprises a metal shell body with an upper mirror (panel) and a skirt portion projecting axially (downwardly) therefrom.
- Generally cylindrical upper portion of the skirt portion has a deformable plastic liner into which threads are formed when vertically pressed onto an orifice equipped with thread segments radially outward.
- the consumer can later by an ordinary Losdusgraphy the
- Thread segment 16 Thread segment 16. Also US 4,552,279 (Mueller), there Summary, and PT cover 10 for the threaded portions 13 on the neck 12 of the container shows such a closure.
- Vacuum seal can be achieved, on the other hand, the training of
- Plastic lining (compound) to be designed so that they on the one hand the Sealing conditions for the vacuum seal fulfilled, but also by the
- the invention has set itself the task of the metal, glass and
- a closure unit (claim 1). It consists of a container (glass or hard plastic) with external, circumferentially offset and staggered arranged (inclined) threaded elements (also called “threads” or “thread segments”) on a container neck of the container. Belonging to a cap made of sheet metal is provided, wherein the
- Cover lid inside the lid has a circumferential plastic layer, which is arranged sealingly and holding him and also acts.
- the closure cap is (or was) pressed onto the container neck and is to be opened via the thread segments and a vertical section of the plastic layer with a rotary movement.
- Claim 1 mentioned container neck of the claimed glass container.
- the claimed state is not only the closed state (claim 37) after the closure cap has been pressed onto the container neck, but also the two "parts" which are intended for each other, but still separate from each other (claim 1). Contents are in the closed state (claim 37) contained in the container and is closed by the metallic closure lid vacuum-tight.
- the closure lid is suitable for a plastic or glass container and also mechanically designed and adapted for the closure unit (claim 1).
- the glass container has external, circumferentially offset threaded elements which can replace a continuous thread but can be staggered circumferentially. These thread segments are arranged on a container neck of the container body, to which the closure lid (also called "metallic" closure lid) can be assigned.
- the assignment is done in the context of the PT concept, in which the lid is first pressed axially, and by the user, as a customer (or Consumers) is removed by a rotary motion. This is expressed by feature (a) in claim 1.
- the closing takes place at the bottler, who reaches the seal between face and plastic layer after filling by pressing.
- the short mouth (a shortened neck) of the container for the closure cap contributes particularly to the solution (claim 13, 17, 31, 35).
- the above object is also achieved with a method for closing (claim 24, 25).
- the shortened container mouth contributes to the saving of material especially and still achieves the required vacuum-lock security in connection with the
- the food can be filled hot and after closing and cooling creates a vacuum that can significantly complicate the Loscardzi the cap by the consumer.
- elastic PVC-backed or PVC-free elastomers or TPE thermoplastic elastomers
- TPE thermoplastic elastomers
- They are suitable for a cold filling at a few degrees Celsius above zero (below 10 ° C), a filling at room or normal temperature (around 20 ° C to 25 ° C), for a filling with a subsequent pasteurization (up to approx 110 ° C) or a filling with a subsequent sterilization (up to 125 ° C) of the filled product.
- Plastic layers can cover all mentioned temperature ranges, so they are suitable for all types of thermal filling or thermal treatment. However, it is still possible to favor certain compounds for certain temperature ranges and in this case the various mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph
- the claimed closure unit consisting of container and metallic closure lid (claim 1) or the container itself (made of glass or hard plastic (claim 13) are filled at the customer and then sealed (claim 24, 25) , 31, 35) at the customer so fillable and to close in accordance with a method (claim 25.)
- the sealed state describes claim 37 to (still open) state of the closure unit (claim 1)
- the customer will set his filling conditions so that they are suitable for the contents to be filled and give it the necessary properties on both the transport route, as well as for the period that has to wait for this bottled container on the shelf on the buyer.
- ColdFill Cold filling
- hot fill hot fill
- the thermal aftertreatment may take the form of a pasteurization or a
- Sterilization take place, the sterilization with a temperature of above 110 ° C acting on the filled product, currently at most 125 ° C. Below 110 ° C, to about 98 ° C the temperature of the aftertreatment, the expert speaks of a pasteurization.
- Pasteurization and sterilization
- ster can be done with or without back pressure.
- back pressure during pasteurization is somewhat lower, e.g.
- the duration of exposure to the temperature during the aftertreatment is between 15 minutes and 60 minutes, during which the product is exposed to the higher temperature and pressure during sterilization. Naturally this also burdens the
- Closure unit primarily the compound (the plastic layer), which is subjected to high thermal stress and during the pasteurization or sterilization by the building up internal pressure in the closed container also subjected to pressure (with pressure to the outside, which can be intercepted by a back pressure and / or of the thread segments that are "sheared" over the compound loaded in the closure cap by a lift-off force).
- pressure with pressure to the outside, which can be intercepted by a back pressure and / or of the thread segments that are "sheared" over the compound loaded in the closure cap by a lift-off force.
- a vacuum forms during the cooling phase, which loads the closure and especially the compound with an oppositely directed pressure than during the thermal treatment.
- Closure lid and primarily the plastic layer must be able to absorb both the build-up overpressure, as well as the existing after cooling negative pressure and still close tight, as well as to remain permanently tight.
- the filling material is filled with an initial temperature which is below or at most of the order of magnitude of the temperature with which the thermal aftertreatment takes place. In the "after-treatment" without one
- Pasteurizing or sterilizing does not involve a warming effect of temperature.
- the warm to hot (preheated) product with a coldfill temperature of up to 70 ° C and a hotfill temperature of up to 98 ° C is passively cooled only after filling, in the sense of "cooling down". The period of this cooling is the longer, the higher the filling temperature of the medium has been.
- the thermal aspect of the aftertreatment can be classified into four categories, no such aftertreatment, the aftertreatment consists only of the (passive) cooling of the filled contents, the aftertreatment is a
- Pasteurization or post-treatment is a sterilization (with a technically controlled cooling afterwards, in the last two categories).
- controlled cooling also takes place to cool the sealed containers to a transport temperature and to obtain the desired differential pressure on the PT lid in the cooling phase.
- the final temperature is often the room temperature.
- Those products that are filled cold or at room temperature do not need to be cooled down. From the circumscribed applications, it will be appreciated that there are a variety of possible combinations that will be deemed to be co-disclosed by those skilled in the art in these paragraphs, for example, one that sterilizes at 125 ° C for about 60 minutes and no back pressure has been used. Subsequently, the controlled cooling takes place.
- a saving in the raw material is favored by the axially relatively short skirt of the closure cap.
- a savings in the raw material sheet metal is achieved by the axially shortened skirt, which is in the range of the largest radial dimension, so makes in terms of area with the square of the radius in the savings noticeable.
- the saving of the raw material plastic follows the axially shorter apron, which must be lined inside on a shorter length.
- the closure cap must be pressed axially onto the container neck and over the threaded elements.
- the closure lid has a plastic layer which rests on the lid inside a peripheral transition zone and on the apron section, and permanently adhesive.
- Plastic layer has an axial extent and a radial extent.
- the said transition zone is oriented circumferentially, connecting the central region of the closure lid (usually called “panel") with the axially projecting one
- Internal curl or an external curl can have.
- Movement to release must be smooth, so can be performed by older people and children, which runs counter to the desire, one
- This axial force transmitted to the compound by means of threaded elements is adjusted very precisely and must be coordinated; if this force is too small, the lid remains down and can not be unscrewed in the axial direction (by the rotational movement). If the adhesion of the compound to the threaded elements is too weak, the holding is for sealing during transport, in the storage condition and for the duration of one
- the container neck has a horizontally oriented "surface" (as the upwardly facing end face) on which a horizontal portion of the plastic layer on the closure lid under pressure sealingly can (claim 1, claim 13, claim 17) and in the closed state so deep depresses that one
- the closure lid has a central region with a subsequent, circumferentially oriented transition zone and an axially projecting transition
- the plastic layer is on the inside of the lid adhering to the transition zone and the apron section
- closure cap as a part of the closure unit (claim 1) achieves this combination task by implementing a ratio of two functional elements, which is defined as follows:
- the upper end face of the mouth region of the container presses accurately and reliably in the radially aligned portion of the plastic layer.
- Mouth area respectively the upper end face presses after pressing the closure lid even a little way into the plastic layer, here forms a sufficient three-dimensional sealing surface (as an annular surface), so that not only a pure touch, but also a clearly acting in the depth of completion Pressure is given (claim 17, last feature), based on the horizontal portion of the plastic layer of the closure cap.
- the container neck has the overhead horizontal end surface, which is formed as an annular surface with a ring width. It is adapted and adapted to press in a horizontal portion of the plastic layer of the closure lid under pressure and seal under pressure.
- I154 is defined as: It extends between the axially upper ends of the circumferentially offset threaded elements and a horizontal plane through the horizontally oriented end face of the container neck of the container.
- the ring width is defined by the overhead horizontal end face as an annular surface. It is a component of the three-dimensional acting sealing surface.
- the container neck has the outside step.
- the outboard step is placed axially above upper ends of the thread segments and below the horizontal end face so that the step does not extend axially further from the horizontal one above
- (Claim 35) defines a (fourth) structural relationship.
- the container neck has the outer stage, which axially above upper ends of the
- the fourth relationship applies. It is formed of an axial distance (illustrative: h 6 o) between the outer step and the upper horizontal end face and a radial width
- the goal achieved with this shortening of the neck or the purpose associated therewith is a double reduction of material needed. It can be achieved with the same sealing effect, that the thread segments get closer to the sealing profile, so that glass is saved; if a hard plastic is used instead of glass, the same is saved. Parallel or hand in hand is also the savings on the cover page.
- the apron of the lid can be made shorter, as it is less far axially down to the mouth of the container to reach and cover the thread segments.
- the maintenance of the sealing surface contributes to the fact that the material components which have been eliminated in the axial direction do not have to be added in the radial direction in order to additionally supplement the axial sealing action which is eliminated there. Instead, the radial dimension of the sealing surface should remain as known in the art.

- Inner roller or outer roller according to the two aforementioned figures join.
- the goal achieved with this shortening of the neck 52 or the purpose associated therewith is to reduce material. It can be achieved with the same sealing effect, that the thread segments get closer to the 3D sealing surface 51 (the sealing profile), so that glass (in general: container material) can be saved. If a hard plastic is used instead of glass, the same is saved. Parallel or hand in hand is also the savings on the cover page.
- the skirt 12 of the lid may be made shorter because it must extend less axially down the glass to reach the thread segments 53-58. The maintenance of the sealing surface 51 helps to eliminate the axial direction
- the somewhat shortened neck leaves the skilled person surprisingly save not only the container material, but also the sheet material for the associated lid. Auxiliary measures or compensatory measures that are saved It is not necessary to replenish materials otherwise, but the savings are absolute.
