Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Siegelkappe für einen Behälterverschluss mit einer Deckelscheibe, die einen Befestigungsring aufweist, der mit einer Unterseite der Deckelscheibe verbunden ist, wobei der Befestigungsring zur Herstellung einer lösbaren Eingriffsverbindung mit dem Behälterverschluss eine Rastvorrichtung aufweist, die über eine Verbindungseinrichtung mit einer am Umfang der Deckelscheibe angeordneten Zuglasche verbunden ist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung einen in der Deckelscheibe ausgebildeten Deckelstreifen aufweist, der durch seitliche Sollbruchlinien von benachbarten Bereichen der Deckelscheibe abgeteilt ist und einen mit der Rasteinrichtung des Befestigungsrings verbundenen Zugsteg aufweist.The present invention relates to a sealing cap for a container closure with a cover disc having a fastening ring which is connected to a bottom of the cover disc, wherein the fastening ring for establishing a releasable engagement connection with the container closure has a locking device, which via a connecting device with a peripheral the cover disc arranged pull tab is connected, wherein the connecting means comprises a cover strip formed in the lid strip, which is divided by lateral predetermined breaking lines of adjacent areas of the cover plate and having a connected to the locking device of the mounting ring drawbridge.
Eine Siegelkappe der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der
Hierzu ist die bekannte Siegelkappe so ausgebildet, dass zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring eine auch nach Entfernung der Siegelkappe von dem Behälterverschluss bestehende Verbindungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist. Die bekannte Siegelkappe ist so ausgestaltet, dass zum einen eine zerstörbare Verbindung mit einer Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring vorgesehen ist, und zum anderen ein heraustrennbarer Deckelstreifen in der Deckelscheibe ausgebildet ist, der sich ausschließlich innerhalb eines Mittelteils der Deckelscheibe von der Deckelscheibe zum Befestigungsring erstreckt. Darüber hinaus ist eine Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen einer Randschürze der Siegelkappe und der Deckelscheibe vorgesehen.For this purpose, the known sealing cap is formed so that between the cover disc and the mounting ring, a connection device is provided, even after removal of the sealing cap from the container closure. The known sealing cap is designed so that on the one hand a destructible connection with a predetermined breaking device between the cover plate and the mounting ring is provided, and on the other hand a detachable lid strip is formed in the cover disc, which is exclusively within a central portion of the cover plate from the cover plate to the mounting ring extends. In addition, a predetermined breaking device between an edge skirt of the sealing cap and the cover plate is provided.
Bei einer Entfernung der Siegelkappe von dem Behälterverschluss wird sowohl die Verbindung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring als auch eine Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und benachbarten Bereichen der Deckelscheibe zerstört. Zusätzlich wird die Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen der Randschürze der Siegelkappe und der Deckelscheibe zerstört. Nach der Entfernung der Siegelkappe vom Behälterverschluss verbleibt eine Verbindungseinrichtung zwischen einer an der Randschürze angeordneten Zuglasche und dem Befestigungsring, die die Randschürze, einen zwischen der Randschürze und dem Deckelteil verbleibenden Zugsteg sowie einen weiteren zwischen einem Ende des Deckelstreifens und dem Befestigungsring verbleibenden Zugsteg umfasst.Upon removal of the sealing cap from the container closure, both the connection between the cover disk and the fastening ring and a predetermined breaking device between the cover strip and adjacent regions of the cover disk are destroyed. In addition, the predetermined breaking device between the edge skirt of the sealing cap and the cover plate is destroyed. After removal of the sealing cap from the container closure, a connection device remains between a pull tab disposed on the skirt and the attachment ring comprising the skirt, a drawbridge remaining between the skirt and the lid and another drawstring remaining between one end of the lid and the attachment ring.
Zur Entfernung der Siegelkappe von dem Behälterverschluss ist eine Öffnungsbewegung erforderlich, bei der zunächst die an der Randschürze ausgebildete Zuglasche erfasst, die Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen der Randschürze und der Deckelscheibe durch eine schräg nach oben gerichtete erste Bewegung der Randschürze gegenüber der Deckelscheibe zerstört wird, wobei der erste Zugsteg zwischen der Randschürze und der Deckelscheibe als Schwenkscharnier dient, und anschließend durch eine zweite, in eine Gegenrichtung zur ersten Bewegung ausgeführte zweite Bewegung eine Zugkraft von dem Deckelstreifen über den zweiten Zugsteg auf den Befestigungsring übertragen wird, um den Befestigungsring nach innen zu deformieren und somit die Eingriffsverbindung zwischen der Rasteinrichtung des Befestigungsrings und dem Behälterverschluss lösen zu können.To remove the sealing cap from the container closure an opening movement is required in which initially formed on the skirt apron pull tab, the predetermined breaking device between the skirt and the cover plate is destroyed by an obliquely upward first movement of the skirt relative to the cover plate, the first Drawbridge between the skirting and the Lid serves as a pivoting hinge, and then by a second, executed in a direction opposite to the first movement second movement a tensile force is transmitted from the lid strip on the second pull tab on the mounting ring to deform the mounting ring inward and thus the engagement connection between the latching of the To solve fixing ring and the container closure.
Die aus einander entgegengesetzt gerichteten Bewegungen zusammengesetzte Öffnungsbewegung wird in der Praxis als sehr komplex empfunden, insbesondere in Situationen, in denen relativ begrenzte Raumverhältnisse zur Durchführung einer entsprechenden Öffnungs- oder Entnahmebewegung der Siegelkappe vorherrschen.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Siegelkappe so auszugestalten, dass die Entfernung der Siegelkappe von einem Behälterverschluss vereinfacht wird.The present invention is therefore based on the object, a sealing cap in such a way that the removal of the sealing cap is simplified by a container closure.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Siegelkappe so ausgestaltet, dass sich der Deckelstreifen von der Zuglasche am Umfang der Deckelscheibe in einen zentralen Innenteil der Deckelscheibe innerhalb des Befestigungsrings erstreckt und der Zugsteg in einem Kreuzungsbereich zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und dem Befestigungsring angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, the sealing cap according to the invention is designed so that the cover strip extends from the pull tab on the circumference of the cover disc in a central inner part of the cover disc within the mounting ring and the pull bar is arranged in a crossing region between the cover strip and the mounting ring.
Die erfindungsgemäße Siegelkappe ermöglicht somit eine Öffnungsbewegung zur Entfernung der Siegelkappe von einem Behälterverschluss, bei der die Zuglasche stets in dieselbe Richtung bewegt wird. Nach einer Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtungen zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und der Deckelscheibe infolge einer schräg nach oben gerichteten Bewegung der Zuglasche wird durch Fortsetzung der Bewegung in dieselbe Richtung über den Deckelstreifen und den Zugsteg zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und dem Befestigungsring aufgrund der Verbindung des Zugstegs mit dem Deckelstreifen in einem Kreuzungsbereich zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und Befestigungsring weiterhin eine Zugkraft auf den Befestigungsring ausgeübt, die den Befestigungsring nach innen deformiert und ein Lösen der Eingriffverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und dem Behälterverschluss ermöglicht.The sealing cap according to the invention thus allows an opening movement for the removal of the sealing cap from a container closure, in which the pull tab is always moved in the same direction. After destruction of the predetermined breaking devices between the cover strip and the cover plate as a result of an obliquely upward movement of the pull tab is by continuing the movement in the same direction on the cover strip and the drawbridge between the cover strip and the mounting ring due to the connection of the pull bar with the cover strip in one Crossing area between the lid strip and fastening ring further exerts a tensile force on the fastening ring, which deforms the fastening ring inwardly and allows release of the engagement connection between the fastening ring and the container closure.
Im Unterschied zu der bekannten Siegelkappe wird die zur Entfernung der Siegelkappe benötigte, auf den Befestigungsring wirkende Zugkraft unmittelbar von der Zuglasche auf den Deckelstreifen und von diesem über den Zugsteg auf den Befestigungsring übertragen. Im Gegensatz hierzu ist die Zuglasche an der bekannten Siegelkappe nicht unmittelbar mit dem Deckelstreifen verbunden, sondern benötigt zur kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zum Deckelstreifen noch die lösbar mit der Deckelscheibe verbundene Randschürze, so dass, wie eingangs geschildert, die Entfernung der bekannten Siegelkappe von dem Behälterverschluss einen Bewegungsablauf mit zwei einander entgegengesetzten Bewegungen erfordert.In contrast to the known sealing cap, the pulling force required to remove the sealing cap, acting on the fastening ring, is transmitted directly from the pull tab to the cover strip and from there via the pull web to the fastening ring. In contrast, the pull tab on the known seal cap is not directly connected to the lid strip, but still needed for non-positive connection to the lid strip releasably connected to the cover plate skirt, so that, as mentioned above, the removal of the known seal cap of the container closure a movement with two opposing movements required.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Siegelkappe ist der Zugsteg zwischen der Rasteinrichtung und dem Deckelstreifen im Bereich einer im Befestigungsring ausgebildeten Ausnehmung mit der Rasteinrichtung verbunden, so dass die Rasteinrichtung aufgrund der Ausnehmung im Befestigungsring leichter verformbar ist.In a preferred embodiment of the sealing cap, the pull bar between the latching device and the lid strip is connected to the latching device in the region of a recess formed in the fastening ring, so that the latching device is easier to deform due to the recess in the fastening ring.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Rasteinrichtung angrenzend an einen Anschlussbereich des Zugstegs durch parallel zur Deckelscheibe und seitlich zum Zugsteg verlaufende Rasteinrichtungs-Sollbruchlinien von einer mit der Deckelscheibe verbundenen Ringbasis des Befestigungsrings abgeteilt ist, so dass die Verformbarkeit der Rasteinrichtung gegenüber dem Befestigungsring noch weiter erhöht wird und somit eine Entfernung der Siegelkappe vom Behälterverschluss beziehungsweise ein Lösen des Eingriffs der Rasteinrichtung mit dem Behälterverschluss erleichtert wird.It is particularly advantageous if the latching device is divided adjacent to a connection region of the pull bar by parallel to the cover plate and laterally to the drawbar Rasteinrichtungs-breaking lines of a connected to the cover ring ring base of the mounting ring, so that the deformability of the locking device relative to the mounting ring even further increases and thus removal of the sealing cap from the container closure or a release of the engagement of the latching device with the container closure is facilitated.
Wenn der Zugsteg einen parallel zur Deckelscheibe verlaufenden Abschnitt aufweist, der mit der Rasteinrichtung verbunden ist, und einen daran anschließenden, quer zur Deckelscheibe verlaufenden Abschnitt aufweist, der mit einem im Innenteil der Deckelscheibe angeordneten Deckelstreifenabschnitt des Deckelstreifens verbunden ist, wird eine weitestgehend radiale Ausrichtung einer auf die Rasteinrichtung des Befestigungsrings wirkenden Zugkraft ermöglicht, so dass bereits eine relativ geringe Zugkraft zur Trennung der Verbindung zwischen der Rasteinrichtung und dem Behälterverschluss ausreichend ist.When the pull bar has a parallel to the cover disc extending portion which is connected to the latching device, and has a subsequent, transverse to the cover plate extending portion which is connected to a arranged in the inner part of the cover plate cover strip portion of the cover strip, a largely radial alignment of a allows the locking device acting on the locking device tensile force, so that even a relatively low tensile force to separate the connection between the locking device and the container closure is sufficient.
Wenn der Deckelstreifenabschnitt eine gegenüber der Deckelscheibe reduzierte Dicke aufweist, wird gewährleistet, dass die Steifigkeit des Deckelstreifenabschnitts gegenüber der Steifigkeit der Deckelscheibe reduziert ist, so dass die Wirkung der vom Deckelstreifen auf die Rasteinrichtung wirkenden Zugkraft erhöht wird.When the lid strip portion has a thickness reduced with respect to the lid disc, it is ensured that the rigidity of the lid strip portion is reduced from the rigidity of the lid disc, so that the effect of the pulling force acting on the latch means from the lid strip is increased.
Ebenfalls erhöhend auf die Wirkung der Zugkraft bzw. die Steifigkeit der Rasteinrichtung im Anschlussbereich der Rasteinrichtung reduzierend wirkt sich aus, wenn die Rasteinrichtung angrenzend an den Anschlussbereich des Zugstegs und im Bereich der im Befestigungsring ausgebildeten Ausnehmung eine Einkerbung aufweist.Increasing also on the effect of the tensile force or the rigidity of the latching device in the connection region of the latching device has a reducing effect if the latching device has a notch adjacent to the connection region of the tensile web and in the region of the recess formed in the fastening ring.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Deckelscheibe an ihren Umfang einen konzentrisch zum Befestigungsring angeordneten und durch eine längs des Umfangs der Deckelscheibe ausgebildete, kreisförmige Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie von der Deckelscheibe abgeteilte Randschürze aufweist, und die Zuglasche des Deckelstreifens in der Randschürze ausgebildet ist, derart, dass die Zuglasche an seitlichen Sollbrucheinrichtungen mit benachbarten Bereichen der Randschürze verbunden ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Siegelkappe mit einer, einen etwaigen Spalt zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Behälterverschluss abdeckenden Randschürze zu versehen, ohne dass die Randschürze den eingangs ausführlich erläuterten einfachen Bewegungsablauf zur Entfernung der Siegelkappe von dem Behälterverschluss beeinträchtigen würde.It is particularly advantageous if the cover disc has a concentric with the fastening ring at its circumference and formed by a along the circumference of the cover disc formed, circular edge aprons predetermined breaking line of the cover disc divided edge skirt, and the pull tab of the cover strip is formed in the skirt, such, that the pull tab is connected to lateral predetermined breaking devices with adjacent areas of the skirt. As a result, it is possible to provide the sealing cap with an edge skirt covering a possible gap between the cover disc and the container closure, without the skirt opening having the simple movement sequence for the removal explained in detail at the outset the sealing cap would interfere with the container closure.
Wenn darüber hinaus der Befestigungsring mit dem zentralen Innenteil der Deckelscheibe einen Becherteil der Siegelkappe bildet, derart, dass der Innenteil der Deckelscheibe einen in der Deckelscheibe ausgebildeten Becherboden bildet, und der Becherboden von einem Außenteil der Deckelscheibe durch eine kreisförmige Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie abgeteilt ist, wird eine besonders starre Verbindung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring ermöglicht, so dass mittelbar über den Becherboden zwar eine Sollbruchverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und der Deckelscheibe vorgesehen ist, die eine Manipulation an der Siegelkappe dadurch erkennbar macht, dass zusammen mit dem Befestigungsring der Becherboden aus der Deckelscheibe herausgetrennt wird.Moreover, when the fixing ring with the central inner part of the cover disc forms a cup portion of the sealing cap, such that the inner part of the lid disc forms a cup bottom formed in the lid disc, and the cup bottom is partitioned from an outer part of the lid disc by a circular inner part predetermined breaking line allows a particularly rigid connection between the cover plate and the mounting ring, so that indirectly over the cup bottom a predetermined breaking connection between the mounting ring and the cover plate is provided, which makes a manipulation of the seal cap recognizable that together with the mounting ring of the cup bottom from the cover plate is cut out.
Im Gegensatz hierzu führt die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Ausgestaltung der Sollbrucheinrichtung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring dazu, dass ein leichtes Abheben oder geringfügiges Verschwenken der Deckelscheibe gegenüber dem Befestigungsring mit Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtung möglich ist, ohne dass an der Deckelscheibe der Manipulationsversucht sichtbar ist.In contrast, the known from the prior art embodiment of the predetermined breaking device between the cover plate and the fastening ring to the fact that a slight lifting or slight pivoting of the cover plate relative to the mounting ring with destruction of the predetermined breaking device is possible without on the cover disc of manipulation attempt is visible ,
Anderseits wird über die starre Verbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und dem Innenteil der Deckelscheibe eine ausreichend stabile Verbindung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring gegeben ist, um eine unbeabsichtigte Zerstörung der Sollbruchverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und der Deckelscheibe bei der Montage der Siegelkappe zu verhindern.On the other hand, a sufficiently stable connection between the cover plate and the mounting ring is given over the rigid connection between the mounting ring and the inner part of the cover disc to prevent inadvertent destruction of the predetermined breaking connection between the mounting ring and the cover plate during assembly of the sealing cap.
Vorzugsweise sind die Sollbrucheinrichtungen zwischen der Zuglasche und den benachbarten Bereichen der Randschürze im Verhältnis zu der Sollbrucheinrichtung der Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie so ausgebildet, dass bei einer Trennung der Zuglasche aus der Randschürze die Sollbrucheinrichtung der kreisförmigen Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie erhalten bleibt.Preferably, the predetermined breaking devices between the pull tab and the adjacent regions of the edge skirt are formed in relation to the predetermined breaking device of the edge skirt break line so that upon separation of the pull tab from the skirt the breaker means the circular edge skirt break line is maintained.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Sollbrucheinrichtung der Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie im Verhältnis zu einer Sollbrucheinrichtung einer Rasteinrichtungs-Sollbruchlinie so ausgebildet ist, dass bei einer Trennung des Deckelstreifens aus der Deckelscheibe die Sollbrucheinrichtung der Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie erhalten bleibt.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the predetermined breaking device of the inner part predetermined breaking line is designed in relation to a predetermined breaking device of a Rasteinrichtungs breaking line so that when a separation of the cover strip from the cover disc, the predetermined breaking device of the inner part predetermined breaking line is maintained.
