Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a so-called self-opener closure, which is suitable for opening and reclosing a composite packaging.
  • Flowable foods such as drinks are often packaged in composite packaging.
  • a cardboard carrier on both sides with plastic, usually polyethylene (PE), laminated.
  • PE polyethylene
  • a barrier layer of aluminum or an oxygen-impermeable plastic such as EVOH and auxiliary layers for laminating the barrier layer are often additionally present. It is known to weaken the package wall in the openable area to facilitate opening, e.g. By punching a line of weakness in the cardboard carrier or by punching a complete hole from the cardboard carrier before laminating the films.
  • the drivers have a running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the Ausgiessstutzens, in the circumferential direction pointing leading edge, which cooperates with a likewise pointing in the circumferential direction surface of the corresponding driving cam.
  • This is eg at the EP 1 088 764 A1 , in the WO 03/002419 A1 or the WO 2008/092289 A2 the case.
  • Self-opening closures often require a relatively large force application to produce the torque required for initial opening on the lid. The necessary forces are difficult to apply, especially for elderly or sick people. It is therefore desirable to minimize the torque required for initial opening as much as possible.
  • the WO 2004/000667 A1 and the WO 2006/050624 A1 disclose self-opener closures in which the self-opening sleeve does not perform a helical movement, but is first pushed axially without rotation down the first time the shutter and then performs a pure rotation.
  • corresponding vertically and horizontally extending ribs are provided on the inside of the Ausgiessstutzens and the outside of the self-opening.
  • the lid has drivers in the form of cylinder wall segments, whose respective front edge initially at an acute angle obliquely to the lid surface and then perpendicular to the lid surface, ie axially, runs.
  • the lid usually has a top wall and a circumferential side wall.
  • On the inside of the side wall usually one or more guide structures are formed, which cause a guide of the lid on Ausgiessstutzen.
  • these guide structures are a single or multi-start internal thread, but it can also be provided, for example, a bayonet guide, in which the lid first performs a pure rotation when opening and then is axially removable.
  • At Ausgiessstutzen usually also one or more guide structures are formed, which are complementary to the guide structures on the lid. If, for example, an internal thread is provided on the cover, the guide structure on the pouring spout is a complementary external thread.
  • the driver is preferably mounted on the top wall of the lid and preferably extends downwardly from the top wall. It preferably has the basic shape of a cylinder wall segment, wherein the front edge of the cylinder wall segment the mentioned leading edge of the driver forms and is accordingly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis. Preferably, exactly one driver is present.
  • the guide surface is preferably not flat with respect to the radial direction, but rather concave, so that it at least partially surrounds the front edge of the carrier when the closure is opened. Accordingly, the leading edge of the driver is preferably correspondingly convexly curved.
  • the guide surface has no sharp kinks. In this way it can be avoided that the driver and the driving cam hooked together so that the opening process is hindered.
  • the leading edge of the driver has a shape that is at least partially complementary to the shape of the guide surface of the driving cam.
  • at least one area of the guide surface lies flat on the opening of the closure and not only pointwise on the leading edge of the driver.
  • the guide surface is preferably along its entire length at the front edge of the driver, which is referred to here as "length" the extension parallel to the leading edge of the driver.
  • the length of the guide surface is at least 2 mm.
  • the closure is designed such that the self-opening after the first opening of the closure remains in its lower end position, so not taken back in the direction of its initial position when reclosing the driver back up.
  • the driving cam is preferably ramp-shaped in a region located in front of the guide surface with respect to the opening direction, with a sliding surface directed inwards in an oblique manner to the opening direction, which merges continuously (without steps) into an inner cylindrical lateral surface of the self-opening sleeve. The driver then slides when reclosing the closure with its trailing edge on the ramp-like sliding surface of the Driving cam, so that the driver dodges when reclosing through the driving cam radially inward and slides past the driving cam.
  • the trailing edge of the driver is preferably inclined by a second inclination angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second inclination angle is greater in magnitude than the first inclination angle.
  • the second inclination angle is at least 50% larger, more preferably at least twice as large as the first inclination angle.
  • a slope angle of the trailing edge in the range of about 30 ° - 45 ° has proven. If the trailing edge should be continuously curved with respect to the longitudinal axis, this information refers to the inclination angle in the middle of the trailing edge.
  • the resulting driver has in its upper region, near the top wall of the lid, its greatest extent along the circumferential direction, while this extension continues to decrease towards the bottom (towards its free end).
  • the driver is most stable there, where the largest forces act on initial opening, namely in the upper region, which is effective at the beginning of the opening movement, when the self-opening sleeve begins to separate the packaging wall.
  • the force acting on the driver during opening and closing reaction forces transferred particularly well to the top wall of the lid and thus to the entire lid structure, and it is avoided that there are places where excessive stresses occur in the material to Deformation or even lead to a termination of the driver. Due to this optimized power transmission, the driver can be made very thin in the radial direction. This not only has advantages for the production (lower material consumption), but also minimizes the forces when re-closing, as a thinner driver can be easily deflected inwards.
  • a radially inwardly extending retaining cam may be formed at the lower end of the Ausgiessstutzens.
  • measures are conceivable to prevent the self-opening sleeve again in the direction of the starting position moved back, for example, that the axial distance between two thread segments of the internal thread tapers at the lower end of the Ausgiessstutzens to produce a clamping action on a cooperating thread of the external thread of the self-opening sleeve.
  • the self-opening sleeve preferably has a support ring on which the external thread is formed, and a first tooth, which extends from the support ring projecting downwards and defines a front cutting edge.
  • the front cutting edge is preferably inclined at a third angle of inclination relative to the longitudinal axis. This angle preferably corresponds at least to the pitch angle of the internal thread of the pour spout, preferably at least twice this pitch angle.
  • the cutting edge acts on the packaging wall during cutting, partly along the direction of movement of the self-opening sleeve and partly downwards.
  • the self-opening sleeve may have a second tooth, which follows the first tooth with respect to the opening direction. If exactly two teeth are present, if the self-opening sleeve otherwise has no further teeth, it is preferred if the second tooth at an angular distance of about 90 ° -180 °, preferably from about 110 ° -150 °, more preferably from about 130 °, with respect to the circumferential direction or opening direction, measured from tip to tip, follows the first tooth. But it is also conceivable that the self-opening sleeve has three or more teeth, in which case the distance between the teeth should be chosen correspondingly lower.
  • a self-opening sleeve with exactly two teeth at said distance has been proven especially in composite packaging in which a hole was punched in the cardboard before the lamination of the plastic and, if necessary, metal layers. In such prepunched packaging, this hole is covered by a film composite which may be quite tough and may be quite ductile, thereby resisting tearing.
  • a film composite which may be quite tough and may be quite ductile, thereby resisting tearing.
  • the film composite is clamped when opening, so to speak between two tooth tips. As a result, the film composite is easier to travel. It has also been confirmed in tests that for pre-cut packaging two teeth are optimal. However, closures with only one tooth or with exactly three teeth can also be used.
  • the second tooth extends with respect to the longitudinal axis substantially equal to the first tooth down.
  • two regions of the film composite are simultaneously reached by the tooth tips, so that the clamping effect occurs early and a high tear effect is achieved.
  • the second tooth has a front cutting edge that extends at substantially the same inclination angle relative to the longitudinal axis as the front cutting edge of the first tooth.
  • both teeth have the same cutting action. This has a positive effect on the further opening process after the film composite has been touched once.
  • a ring segment (a cylinder wall segment-shaped material region) may extend continuously between the first tooth and the second tooth, extending downwardly from the support ring, this ring segment after the first opening of the closure together with the first and second teeth down out of the Ausgiessstutzen sticking out, in particular by at least 1 mm.
  • this material area reinforces the self-opening sleeve and thus contributes to its stability.
  • such a material area can also serve to keep the cut-out packaging segment ("flap") away from the pouring opening after cutting.
  • the self-opening sleeve preferably has a segment along its circumference, which remains substantially completely within the pouring spout after the first opening of the closure.
  • this area hereinafter also referred to as "residual emptying gap"
  • the contents of the container can pass unhindered into the pour spout, without any part of the self-opening sleeve would be in the way.
  • the self-opening sleeve can have a fixing cam on its inside at a certain distance from the driving cam.
  • the catch is located after the assembly of the closure and before the first opening of the closure between the driving cam and the fixing cam.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 a first embodiment of a closure according to the invention is illustrated.
  • This variant of the closure is particularly suitable for composite packaging, which have a cardboard layer with pre-punched opening, which is laminated with plastic films and optionally a metal foil.
  • the closure consists of a base 10, which in the Fig. 4 is shown alone, from a self-opening sleeve 20, which in the Fig. 5 is shown alone, as well as from a lid 30, which in the Fig. 6 is shown alone.
  • the base 10 has a base plate 11 for connecting the closure to a packaging wall, not shown.
  • the base plate 11 has a circular opening which is surrounded by a tubular, cylindrical Ausgiessstutzen 12.
  • the pour spout 12 extends from the base plate 11 up to a circumferential, circular upper edge 13 upwards.
  • the pour spout 12 defines a central longitudinal axis L due to its cylindrical basic shape (see Fig. 3 ) and an opening direction U along its circumference (see Fig. 4 ). Accordingly, a radial direction is a direction extending outward from the central longitudinal axis L toward the peripheral wall of the pouring spout 12.
  • an internal thread 14 is formed, which has a pitch angle ⁇ relative to a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 11 has. In the present example, it is a two-start thread with a pitch angle ⁇ of about 6.5 ° and about 1.5 turns.
  • a retaining cam 19 is formed at the lower end of the thread 14.
  • an external thread 15 is formed on the outside of Ausgiessstutzens 12 , which has a significantly smaller pitch angle than the pitch angle ⁇ of the internal thread.
  • Below the external thread 10 a plurality of retaining webs 16 are arranged on the base, which cooperate with a guarantee strip, which will be described in more detail below.
  • Ramps 17 on the base plate 11 support the transport of the closure in an application device. Reinforcing ribs 18 reinforce the base plate 11 on its underside.
  • the self-opening sleeve 20 has a support ring 21 on which two teeth 22, 23 are formed.
  • the support ring 21 is provided on its outer side with an external thread 25 which is complementary to the internal thread 14 of the Ausgiessstutzens 12.
  • the (also york teche) external thread 25 is slightly more than half a turn.
  • a hook-like driving cam 24 is formed on the inside of the support ring 21, a hook-like driving cam 24 is formed.
  • This defines a guide surface 241 which is inclined to the longitudinal axis L and not flat with respect to the radial direction, but concavely curved. In this case, the guide surface 241 no sharp kinks.
  • the guide surface is approx. 4 mm long.
  • As seen in the opening direction in front of the guide surface 241 of the driving cam 14 is wedge-shaped or ramp-shaped and forms an opening direction inwardly inclined ramp-like sliding surface 242.
  • This sliding surface 242 has no steps or kinks and is continuous in the cylindrical inner peripheral surface of the support ring 21 on.
  • Each of the two teeth 22, 23 has a front cutting edge 221 or 231 and a blunt rear edge 222, 232.
  • the front cutting edge 221 or 231 is inclined at an angle ⁇ relative to the longitudinal axis downwards. In the present example, the inclination angle is about 18 °.
  • the rear edge 232 or 232 extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis L, which is considerably larger than the angle ⁇ . In the present example, this angle is about 65 °.
  • the two teeth are at a distance of about 120 ° along the circumferential direction. Between the first and the second tooth, a ring segment 26 (ie, a cylinder wall segment-shaped material region) is formed, which extends from the support ring 21 downwards.
  • ring segments 27 are formed, which extend but only a relatively small area from the support ring 21 down. Between these two ring segments 27 there is a gap which defines a residual emptying area 28 and whose function will be explained in more detail below.
  • the teeth 22, 23 and shell wall portions 26, 27 are opposite the support ring 21st slightly offset radially inwards. In between, a circumferential edge 29 is formed on the inside of the self-opening sleeve 20, which simultaneously forms the lower edge of the self-opening sleeve 20 in the case of the residual emptying area 28.
  • the cover 30 has a cover wall 31 and a circumferential, substantially cylindrical side wall 32. On the inside of the side wall 32, an internal thread 33 is formed, which cooperates with the external thread 15 on the spout 12. From the top wall 31 of a single driver 34 extends axially downwards. The driver 34 forms a leading edge 341 and a trailing edge 342. The leading edge 341 is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis L by an angle ⁇ . The angle ⁇ in the present example is about 20 °. It is thus significantly larger than the pitch angle ⁇ of the internal thread 14 in the spout 12. The trailing edge 342 is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis L by an angle ⁇ .
  • the angle ⁇ is approximately twice as large as the angle ⁇ and has the opposite sign for this purpose.
  • the driver has the basic shape of a cylinder wall segment, wherein the helical leading edge of the cylinder wall segment forms the aforementioned leading edge 341 of the driver and the helical trailing edge of the cylinder wall segment forms the mentioned trailing edge 342 of the driver.
  • the lower edge of the driver runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • the front edge 341 of the driver 34 is formed in a region which extends over the entire length of the front edge 341, complementary to the guide surface 241 of the driving cam 24. As a result, this region of the front edge 341 lies flat against the guide surface 241.
  • a guarantee strip 35 is formed with inwardly directed retaining cams 36. Between side wall 32 and guarantee strip 35, a cut is made prior to assembly (“Slitten"), so that the guarantee strip is only connected via thin areas of material with the rest of the lid.
  • the retention cams 36 cooperate with the retention webs 16 on the base 10 to prevent co-rotation of the guarantee band 35 upon initial opening of the closure. As a result, the first time the guarantee strip 35 is separated from the rest of the lid, falls down on the base plate 11, thus indicating the Clearö réelle. Possible other embodiments of the guarantee band are out of the state known to the art.
  • the closure is preferably made in two pieces, wherein the base 10 and the self-opening sleeve 20 are manufactured in one piece in a single injection mold, for example made of HDPE.

  • the lid 30 is made in a separate injection mold and may be made of the same material as the base 10 and the self-opening sleeve 20.
  • Such a two-piece production of the closure is basically known from the prior art.
  • the closure is assembled by pressing the self-opening sleeve 20 axially into the pour spout 12 and pressing the lid 30 axially onto the spout 12.
  • the shutter is then in its initial position, in the Figures 3 and 7 is illustrated.
  • the self-opening sleeve 20 is located completely within the Ausgiessstutzens 12.

  • the closure is positioned over an overlaminated opening of the package wall and attached (eg, welded or glued) to the package wall.
  • the user turns the lid 30 counterclockwise (ie, in the opening direction U).
  • the cover 30 takes over the driver 34 and the driving cam 24 with the self-opening sleeve 20 and also puts them in rotation.
  • the front edge 341 of the driver 34 over the entire length of the driving cam 24 on the guide surface 241 of the driving cam 24 and slides on this. Due to the threaded connection between the self-opening sleeve 20 and the Ausgiessstutzen 12, the self-opening sleeve 20 moves downwardly helically.
  • the teeth 22, 23 pierce the laminated films and, if necessary, the metal layer on the opening of the packaging wall and then cut them further on.
  • the lid 30 takes the self-opening sleeve 20 so long with, until it has reached its lower open position, as shown in the Fig. 1 is illustrated.

In the residual emptying region 28, however, the self-opening sleeve 20 does not protrude downwards out of the pouring spout 12, or at least does not protrude down beyond the packaging wall. This facilitates the emptying of the container.
