Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap for a beverage bottle, wherein the closure cap has a cylindrical cap jacket for connection to the beverage bottle and a cap lid connected to the cap jacket.
  • Caps for beverage bottles are used in many ways. These caps are made in particular of plastic. This is it in particular a HDPE plastic or PP plastic.
  • the beverage bottles are made of glass or plastic. The latter bottles are in particular PET beverage bottles.
  • the beverage bottles are usually provided with an external thread for screwing the cap. But there are also bottles known, in which the cap is pressed.
  • Beverage bottles are the most varied drinks used. These may be liquid or less liquid drinks, for example milk, milk drinks, such as vegetable-milk drinks, water, fruit juice, smoothies, thus in particular mixed drinks from fruit and milk products. Beverage bottles are also filled with beverages that are under pressure, such as mineral waters.
  • caps are usually provided with a tamper-evident closure. This usually causes a positive connection region of the cap with the beverage bottle together, which breaks when opening the beverage bottle, thus unscrewing or removing the cap from the beverage bottle a weakened area in the cap and thus a ring part is separated from the cap.
  • a drinking straw also called a straw.
  • the beverage bottle is opened by removing the cap and the drinking straw is then inserted into the beverage bottle.
  • a disadvantage here is that the dispensing opening of the beverage bottle has a significantly larger diameter than the diameter of the drinking straw, since the dispensing opening of the beverage bottle is usually intended for pouring out the beverage from the beverage bottle.
  • Such an unfavorable dimension ratio between the diameter of the drinking straw and the diameter of the dispensing opening of the beverage bottle when using a drinking straw causes a significant amount of the drink on the drinking straw can pass out of the beverage bottle when the beverage bottle is exposed to shocks.
  • removing a beverage from a beverage bottle by means of a drinking straw is associated with problems in that a portion of the beverage exits the drinking bottle past the drinking straw.
  • a cap of the aforementioned type is for example in the DE 10 2010 038 854 A1 described.
  • Closures of beverage bottles, which have caps that are associated with drinking straws are also from the AT 412 642 B and EP 1 154 713 B1 known.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a cap of the type mentioned for use in a beverage bottle such that, with the simplest design and handling of the cap, this is suitable for use of the beverage bottle with a drinking straw.
  • the problem is solved by a closure cap, which is formed according to the features of claim 1.
  • the closure cap according to the invention is used in a beverage bottle.
  • the closure cap has a cylindrical cap jacket for connection to the beverage bottle and a cap lid connected to the cap jacket.
  • the cap lid on an inner lid portion and a surrounding outer lid portion.
  • the lid sections are connected to each other via a weakening area. With the inner lid portion a handle is connected. This serves to apply a force to the inner lid portion for the purpose of separating it from the outer lid portion.
  • the cap thus on the one hand perform the usual function of a cap, on the other hand, the function of a passage in the cap for receiving a drinking straw, wherein in the drinking straw function, the cap is still connected to the beverage bottle. If the drinking straw function is not of interest, the cap is separated from the beverage bottle in the usual manner for emptying the beverage bottle, for example by unscrewing or removing it from the beverage bottle. If, by contrast, the drinking straw function is desired, the closure cap remains in its position relative to the beverage bottle and only the inner lid section is separated from the outer lid section. This separation is carried out by applying the force to the inner lid portion by means of the handle.
  • a hole is formed in the outer lid portion through which the drinking straw can be inserted.
  • the dimension of the hole is dimensioned so that the drinking straw or a conventional drinking straw with little play can be inserted into the hole and thus introduced into the beverage bottle.
  • This hole has in particular a diameter of 8 to 10 mm.
  • the weakened region thus ensures that, until the inner lid section is separated from the outer lid section, these two lid sections form a unit, with which the beverage can not pass through the closure cap in the weakened area.
  • the weakening area is particularly dimensioned such that no separation of the lid sections takes place when a higher pressure is recorded in the beverage bottle.
  • the cap is particularly used in a beverage bottle, which is provided with an external thread for screwing the cap.
  • the cap skirt has an internal thread for screwing onto the external thread of the beverage bottle.
  • the cap casing is provided with a tamper-evident closure in the region of its edge facing away from the cap lid.
  • the cap can be provided as well as conventional caps with a tamper-evident closure and thus has the same security as a conventional cap.
  • the weakened region between the two cover sections of the cap cover is preferably formed as a circumferential thin spot or predetermined breaking point sealingly connecting the two lid sections.
  • the cap lid has an outer cover part and an inner lid part.
  • the inner lid part is arranged with respect to the outer lid part, to set a recess in the cap lid, set back.
  • the inner lid portion has the inner lid portion of the cap lid and the recess receives the handle.
  • the recess is arranged such that it is placed concentrically to the axis of the cap skirt.
  • the inner lid portion is formed in particular circular.
  • the diameter is about 8 to 10 mm.
  • the inner lid portion has a length and width extent, which is each slightly larger than the diameter of the drinking straw.
  • the inner lid portion may well have a shape deviating from a circular shape, for example, be square, in particular square.
  • a circular formation of the inner lid portion is considered preferable because the shape of a drinking straw will usually be one of a circular diameter.
  • the inner lid portion has a diameter which is slightly larger than the diameter of the drinking straw.
  • the inner lid portion is arranged asymmetrically to the axis of the cap skirt.
  • the particular advantage is the fact that the handle can be arranged symmetrically to the axis of the cap skirt.
  • the handle is connected to it in a region of the inner lid section adjacent to the weakened region.
  • forces can be introduced via the handle directly into the inner lid portion adjacent to the weakened area be so that a separation of the two lid portions is ensured in this defined area.
  • the inner lid portion is completely separated from the outer lid portion prior to insertion of the drinking straw in the beverage bottle. It is sufficient to separate the inner lid portion so far from the outer lid portion, that in the outer lid portion a sufficiently large hole for the passage of the drinking straw is formed by the closure cap. Thus, the inner lid portion may well remain connected in the region of a small ridge with the outer lid portion, after creation of the hole in the cap lid. Such a connection is under disposal aspect of advantage, because the inner lid portion with the handle is not incurred as a loose, to be disposed of part.
  • the handle is preferably designed such that it has a ring which is connected via a web to the inner lid portion. It can thus, starting from the handle over the web in a defined position of the inner lid portion, the force for severing the weakened area between the lid portions are introduced.
  • the ring is arranged parallel to the inner lid portion. This allows optimal placement of the ring, especially in the recess of the cap lid. It is considered advantageous if the ring is arranged concentrically to the axis of the cap skirt, in particular is arranged at a small distance from the outer cover part. Thus, the ring is not only ergonomically located, but is directly recognized in its functionality by the user of the beverage bottle.
  • the handle can be operated particularly well if the ring has on its side remote from the web a projection, in particular a projection which has been brought to the web, for the manual swiveling out of the ring.
  • a projection in particular a projection which has been brought to the web
  • the handle can be operated particularly well if the ring has on its side remote from the web a projection, in particular a projection which has been brought to the web, for the manual swiveling out of the ring.
  • a projection in particular a projection which has been brought to the web
  • closure cap is in one piece.
  • the closure cap is preferably made of plastic, in particular of HDPE, LDPE or PP plastic.
  • a cap for a beverage bottle which in particular can be used on all common PET bottles or cardboard packaging with screw thread and is also compatible with standard closures. Standard closures can thus be easily replaced by the closure cap according to the invention.
  • the cap according to the invention makes it possible to form a hole after tearing, into which a drinking straw for removing the beverage can be introduced. It is thus easy to create the opening, even for children, possible, furthermore, a light drink by means of drinking straw.
  • a hole When moving the bottle, especially in sports activity, no spilling of the drink is recorded and it is for example when traveling, especially in the aircraft, no cup necessary.
  • the dimensions of the hole are matched to the dimensions of the drinking straw to the effect that a small annular gap remains between the drinking straw and the hole boundary, the drink remains fresh for longer or more sparkling in the case of a carbonated beverage.
  • Special use of the cap is thus sports, school, on the road. Important use is also in discotheques in which a manipulation of the beverage is made more difficult by the inventive design of the cap.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 is basically a beverage bottle 1 and a screwed onto a bottleneck 2 of the beverage bottle cap 3 illustrated.
  • the beverage bottle 1 is a conventional PET bottle having an external thread 4 for screwing the cap 3 and a projection 5 as part of a tamper-evident closure between beverage bottle 1 and cap 3 in the area of the bottle neck.
  • the beverage bottle 1 is, based on their length, shortened shown.
  • the capacity of the beverage bottle 1 is preferably, depending on the purpose, between 0.25 I and 1.5 I.
  • the cap 3 is in one piece and consists of plastic, in particular a HDPE plastic or LDPE plastic or PP plastic.
  • the closure cap 3 has a cylindrical cap jacket 6 for connection to the beverage bottle 1 and a cap lid 7 connected to the cap jacket 6.
  • the cap casing 6 is provided with an internal thread 8, for cooperation with the external thread 4 of the beverage bottle 1 with screwed cap 3.
  • the cap cover 7 has in a cap skirt 6 facing region a circumferential, parallel to the cap skirt 6 arranged web 11, to form a sealing receptacle of the discharge opening having the end of the beverage bottle 1 between the cap skirt 6 and the web 11, thus forming the sealing receptacle of free end of the bottle neck 2 between the cap skirt 7 and the web eleventh
  • the inner, plate-shaped cover portion 12 is circular in shape and has a diameter which is slightly larger than the diameter of a drinking straw.
  • the inner lid portion 13 has a diameter of 8 to 10 mm.
  • FIG. 1 shows the closed by means of the cap 3 beverage bottle 1.
  • liquid optionally pressurized liquid is thus prevented from leaking from the beverage bottle 1.
  • the cap 3 is unscrewed from the beverage bottle 1 and this damage the tamper-evident closure. Subsequently, the drink can be dispensed through the bottleneck 2.
  • the alternative shows the FIG. 2 ,
  • the cap 3 remains screwed on the beverage bottle 1 and it is separated by pulling on the handle 15 of the inner lid portion 2 from the outer lid portion 13 of the cap 3, so that in the cap lid 7, the opening 16 is formed for the passage of the drinking straw 17.
  • the diameter of the opening 16 is dimensioned such that a drinking straw 17 can be inserted into the opening 16 in an uncomplicated way, but with no great radial play. Since the diameter of the opening 16 is only slightly larger than the diameter of the drinking straw 17, even when the beverage bottle 1 is moved, for example, during exercise, leakage of liquid from the beverage bottle through the annulus between the outer lid portion 13 and drinking straw 17th largely prevented.
  • the cap lid 7 has an outer lid part 18 and an inner lid part 19.
  • the inner lid part 19 is arranged in the cap lid 7 with respect to the outer lid part 18, to form a recess 20.
  • the inner lid portion 19 receives the inner lid portion 12 and it receives the recess 20, the handle 15.
  • This recess 20 is arranged concentrically to a central axis 21 of the cap skirt 6.
  • the inner lid portion 12 is arranged asymmetrically to the axis 21.
  • the handle 15 is connected in a weakening region 14 adjacent region of the inner lid portion 12 with this.
  • the handle 15 has a ring 22 and a web 23, wherein the ring 22 is connected via the web 23 with the inner lid portion 12.
  • the ring 22 is arranged parallel to the inner cover section 12, preferably at such a distance from the inner cover section 12, that the surface of the ring 22 facing away from the inner cover section 12 forms a plane with the outer cover section 12 facing away from the inner cover section 12 Cover portion 13 in the region of the outer lid portion 18 forms.
  • the ring 22 is arranged concentrically to the axis 21, in particular at a small distance from the outer cover part 18.
  • the ring 22 has on its side facing away from the web 23 a projection 23 directed towards the web 24.
  • This projection 24 facilitates the manual swinging of the ring 22, thus serves the initial gripping of the ring 22 to this from the starting position according to FIG. 4 to pivot the connection by means of the web 23, in a partially upward position. Then, a finger is inserted through the ring 22, for the purpose of applying a force on the ring 22 for separating the inner lid portion 12 and thus forming the opening 16 so that subsequently the drinking straw 17 can be inserted through the opening 16 in the beverage bottle 1.
