Definitions

  • This invention relates to a plastic container which is produced either by extrusion or by means of a PET blow molding process or by plastic injection molding, and which is equipped with a screw cap, so that this by simply turning a certain angle from the closed position into a Open position can be brought. In the open position, liquid can be poured out of the container directly through the rotary closure.
  • Containers produced by extrusion or PET blow molding or plastic injection molding are known.
  • screw caps which can be brought by simply turning by a certain angle from a closed position to an open position.
  • screw caps For this purpose, for example, on the WO2007 / 009888 directed.
  • screw caps have always been made of several parts and require assembly for the assembly of these parts, which makes these closures much more expensive, compared to a simple rotary cap.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a plastic container, produced either by extrusion, by means of a PET blow molding process or by plastic injection molding, which is equipped with an associated rotary closure, which from a closed position by a rotation or Pivoting in an open position is brought, and which consists of a minimum number of parts, is easy to install and in Closing reliable sealing, as cost-effective as possible in the production and finally is extremely simple and foolproof in the operation and thereby offers maximum ease of use.
  • a plastic container produced either by extrusion, by means of a PET blow molding or plastic injection molding process, with an associated rotary closure, which can be brought from a closed position by a pivoting in an open position, and thereby characterized in that the container has a straight neck or a neck which tapers conically or spherically on its inner side in the direction of the container and which forms a radially projecting collar in its lower half, on whose lower edge an attachable rotary closure can be latched with snap-action elements, so that it engages the neck is pivotally held about its axis of rotation, wherein the collar also forms radial surfaces which act as stop surfaces for radial ribs on the inside of the associated rotary closure for limiting the pivoting range between closing and open position of the rotary closure on the neck, far he that the mouth of the nozzle forms an end face, in which a formed on the nozzle inside, from the nozzle bulging in the radial direction, towards the inside of the nozzle open channel opens,
  • FIG. 1 is shown a manufactured either by extrusion or by a PET blow molding or by plastic injection molding container. You can see him here diagonally above. It is a bottle as it is used for shampoos, with other ingredients are possible, be it liquids or not too viscous creams, such as a sunscreen milk or similar products from the food or non-food sector ,
  • the material of this container or bottle may have a milky color, in this case is translucent, but only very limited, just so that the level of a liquid therein is still recognizable.
  • the neck of this container or bottle in a whole designed specific way, which is essential for the reception and function of the screw cap.
  • the screw cap is placed by means of a snap mechanism by bouncing on this nozzle, and once attached, the rotary closure seals the nozzle and is nevertheless pivotable on the same in the horizontal plane, from a closed position to an open position, as is already known from earlier rotary fasteners ,
  • these conventional screw caps are consistently composed of several parts, at least two parts, sometimes even three or more parts, which requires a laborious assembly and makes such solutions costly.
  • the container on the one hand and the associated rotary closure on the other hand each form an individual part, so that only two items must be manufactured and assembled.
  • the neck of the container must have a shape as shown here.
  • the nozzle 3 of the container is cylindrical in the example shown.
  • it may also be slightly conically shaped to diverge upwards, or even spherically shaped, with concave surfaces running towards the interior of the nozzle and converging towards the container.
  • it forms in each case outside a radially projecting collar 4, at whose lower edge an attachable associated rotary closure with snap members can be latched so that it is pivotally supported on the neck 3 about its axis of rotation in a horizontal plane.
  • the collar 4 also forms radial surfaces 5, which act as abutment surfaces for radial ribs on the inside of the associated rotary closure. They serve to limit the pivoting range between closing and open position of the rotary closure on the nozzle 3.
  • the mouth of the nozzle 3 forms in the example shown a cantilever, annular, flat end face 1, which acts as a sealing surface and sliding surface for the screw-on closure. In this end face 1 opens from the inside of the nozzle 3 ausucht in the radial direction, against the inside of the nozzle 3 through open channel. 2
  • FIG. 2 is the corresponding screw cap in a fallen position, so with a view into its underside inside.
  • cover surface 12 On the inside of its cover surface 12 are two concentrically arranged, straight or slightly conical pipe sections 6, 7 integrally formed, wherein the outer 7 sealingly rests with attached rotary closure on the annular end face 1 of the container neck 3.
  • the inner, longer pipe section 6 extends precisely fitting and thus sealingly fitting along the cylindrical connecting piece inner wall into the nozzle interior. If the neck is tapered inwardly, so instead of this longer pipe section 6, a slightly tapered towards the bottom tube, which then fits sealingly on the conical neck inner wall.
  • the container manufactured either by extrusion, or by means of a PET blow molding or injection molding process, is equipped with this associated rotary closure, which in the example shown has snap-action members 11 formed by two cylinder sections 10, each approximately 180 ° ° extend and enclose the collar 3 when placing the rotary closure on the neck 3.
  • the lower edges of the cylinder wall sections 10 forms an inwardly projecting bead, which acts as snap member 11.
  • the rotary closure can be adopted on the neck 3 of the container.
  • the two approximately semi-cylindrical cylinder wall sections 10 comprise the collar 4 at its thickest points when bouncing and finally snap their radially inwardly projecting beads 11 at the bottom of the collar 4 and tighten the rotary closure from top to bottom on the neck.
  • the rotary closure as described previously has an overcap 13, which has a downwardly diverging wall, which is aligned with its edge with the outer contour of the bottle to be equipped.
  • the lower edge of the overcap 13 may also be designed to be curved so that it is tracked to a matching shoulder contour of the bottle or container.
  • This cover or overcap 13 is formed outside the snap members 11 and connected by a plurality of webs with the outside of the cylinder wall sections 10, and also lead the side walls and the peripheral wall of the overcap 13 seamlessly into the cap lid 12 inside.
  • the webs 18 are in the example shown radial webs 18 which extend between the circumferential ends of semi-cylindrical cylinder portions 10 extend radially outwardly against the inner wall of the rotary closure overcap 13.
  • FIG. 3 shows this special nozzle 3 of the container in a side view.
  • the rotary closure alsprellbar on the neck, this has grooves extending in the axial direction 17 in the outer wall of the collar 4, so that in a mounting position, the ribs 14 come to rest on the rotary closure just above the grooves 17 and therefore the rotary closure axially on the neck 3 can be facebookprellt.
  • the ribs 14 Once the ribs 14 have passed through the grooves 17, they only act to limit the pivot angle of the rotary closure on the neck and strike at both ends of the pivoting path to the local radial surfaces 5 on the collar 4 of the nozzle 3.
  • the rotary closure is engaged with its semi-cylindrical cylinder wall portions 10 with their inwardly projecting beads 11 under the collar 4 and held in the axial direction on the neck 3. He can only swing over the defined pivoting between the closed position and the open position.
  • the whole solution is made only of two very inexpensive to produce injection or blow molding parts and the assembly is simple, by merely axial bouncing of the rotary closure on the container neck.
  • this combination of the container or the bottle with the associated screw cap is particularly cost-effective, but still the closure solution works convincing and is foolproof and comfortable to use.
  • the container has in its upper region as in the example of the FIGS. 4 and 5 shown a bent in at least one direction shoulder 15.
  • the associated rotary closure then closes down with a rotary closure overcap 13 whose edge 19 is tracked in the closed position of the rotary closure of the contour of this shoulder 15.
  • FIG. 4 which shows this upper portion of the container with the attached rotary closure in the closed position in a 9.anischt.
  • FIG. 5 you pull the screw cap in the open position.
  • the lower edge 19 of the rotary closure overcap 13 is no longer congruent with the shoulder 15 on the container.
