Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for a container which comprises a base part which can be fastened to the container and a hinged lid, which is connected to the base part so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis and which has the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a closure with a pivotable about a pivot axis hinged lid is known, which closes a closure opening of the base part in a closed position and has a limited by an edge lidded roof, which is in a horizontal plane when the container equipped with the closure is on a flat floor ,
  • a closure fastened to a bottle is known, the pivotable hinged lid having in a front part of a pressure application range to press the hinged lid by a finger from the closed position can.
  • One way to open the hinged lid of the closure is to embrace the bottle neck with one hand, the thumb of this hand is applied to the hinged lid in the pressure application area to pry this with the thumb up from the closed position.
  • hinged lid and base part of such a closure are equipped with a locking connection to hold the hinged lid with a certain locking force in the closed position, so that the hinged lid does not open unintentionally.
  • this cogging force must be overcome with the help of the thumb, ie. an opening force must be higher than the detent force.
  • this locking force is quite high, so that it is difficult to fold the hinged lid controlled from the closed position. For example, it may be that due to the sudden overcoming of the latching force and the associated jerk, some of the liquid in the container spills out of the closure opening.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a closure with pivoting hinged lid, with a controlled opening of the hinged lid, in particular with only one hand is possible.
  • a support region is provided, which is defined in a rear part of the hinged lid, in order to fix the position of another finger, with which a counteracting force substantially counteracting the opening force can be exerted on the hinged lid.
  • the rear part of the hinged lid has a smaller distance to the pivot axis than the front part of the lidded roof.
  • the support region defines a position of the finger, which can be realized, for example, by a surface section with increased friction.
  • the surface portion may alternatively or additionally be formed as a trough for the fingertip.
  • a latching connection between the hinged lid and the base part is provided, which holds the hinged lid with a latching force in the closed position.
  • the stabilizing effect of the counterforce in the support area is important, since large forces can build up on the closure to overcome the latching force.
  • the support area is defined by a constriction or indentation of the edge of the cover panel.
  • the constriction or indentation has a shape to which a fingertip can cling.
  • a finger, which is placed on or in this constriction, is safe and true to the position on the lid roof, whereby controlled larger forces are introduced without the risk that the finger slips off.
  • the hinged lid on one side of said constriction or indentation, while on the other, opposite side of the hinged lid no constriction or indentation is provided. Also, this other side is consistently convex, ie continuously bent outward.
  • the hinged lid is thus asymmetrical to any axis which is perpendicular to the pivot axis.
  • the constriction or indentation is provided on the side of the hinged lid on which the fingertip of the index finger of the right hand comes to rest when a container with fastened fastener with the right hand (more precisely, with middle finger, ring finger and little finger) is embraced and the thumb of the right hand is used to push the hinged lid upwards.
  • a container with fastened fastener with the right hand more precisely, with middle finger, ring finger and little finger
  • the thumb of the right hand is used to push the hinged lid upwards.
  • the hinged lid or lidded roof would have to be mirror-inverted.
  • a distance, measured in the direction parallel to the pivot axis, between an edge piece on one side and an edge piece on the other side of the hinged lid can steadily decrease in the rear part towards the pivot axis.
  • the hinged lid tapers in the rear steadily towards the pivot axis.
  • the edge is formed as a protruding edge at least in the pressure application range.
  • the protruding edge thus forms an undercut to which the thumb or other finger can be placed to push the hinged lid upwards.
  • the supernatant in the pressure application range may be 1 to 5 mm, preferably 2 to 4 mm.
  • the edge of the lid panel may be formed as a peripheral edge, that is, the edge runs uninterrupted around the lidded roof.
  • the lid can be flat.
  • the cover roof may extend parallel or at a constant angle to the ground plane. For example, if the closure screwed onto a bottle and this bottle is upright on a flat surface, the flat lidded roof can be in a horizontal plane.
  • the lid roof is curved or has a bending edge.
  • the front part of the lid roof is parallel to the ground plane and the rear part has an angle to the ground plane or vice versa.
  • the bent edge could then be understood as a dividing line between the front part and the rear part.
  • the lid roof falls off in the rear area to the pivot axis.
  • the hinged lid may have a sealing plug, which sits in the closed position of the hinged lid in a spout. As a result, the spout is completely closed.
  • the spout and / or the closure plug can be shaped so that they form the latching connection between hinged lid and base part.
  • the hinged lid may have a side wall on which the lidded roof is arranged.
  • the side walls extend perpendicular to the lid roof.
  • the base part and hinged lid are integrally formed and connected to each other via a film hinge.
  • Base and hinged lid can thus be produced as a unit in an injection mold cost as a plastic part.
  • the closure may be threaded onto a rinse-filled bottle or attached to it by other fasteners.
  • the attachment can be detachable (for example, screw) or insoluble (for example, adhesive bond) may be formed.
  • a bottle with detergent and closure is also disclosed, wherein the closure is formed as described herein.
  • the bottle can also be made of plastic.
  • the ingestible volume of the bottle can be 200 to 1000 ml.
  • a bottle neck of the bottle is shaped so that it can be encompassed by a hand (of a human) or of the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of this hand.
  • FIG. 1 shows in perspective view a closure, which is designated in its entirety by 1.
  • the closure 1 has a hinged lid 2 and a base part 3. While FIG. 1 shows the hinged lid 2 in a closed position, shows FIG. 2 the hinged lid 2 in an open position.
  • the hinged lid 2 is connected via a film hinge 4 hinged or pivotally connected to the base part 3.
  • a pivot axis about which the hinged lid 2 can be pivoted is denoted by 5.
  • the hinged lid 2 comprises a lidded roof 6, which is bounded by a peripheral edge 7.
  • the lidded roof 6 has approximately the shape of an asymmetrical drop.
  • the lidded roof 6 is approximately semicircular, that is, the corresponding edge 7 is in this front part a semicircle.
  • the lidded roof 6 runs to the pivot axis 5 pointed. Accordingly, the cover roof 6 in the vicinity of the pivot axis 5 a tip 9. A distance between two opposite edge pieces 7a, 7b of the edge 7 decreases starting from the parting line 8 to the pivot axis 5 towards steadily.
  • the edge 7 in the rear part 6 a constriction 11.
  • the constriction 11 corresponds to a concave portion of the edge 7.
  • the concave portion starts approximately at the edge portion 7a and ends at the top 9.
  • the edge 7 is formed continuously convex.
  • the dashed line 13 is intended to represent a dividing line between the left side and the right side of the hinged lid 2.
  • the hinged lid 2 has a pressure application area 14.
  • the edge is formed in the pressure application area 14 as a protruding edge 15, so that the hinged lid 2 can be pushed upwards with a finger, preferably with a thumb, which is placed under the protruding edge 15.
  • upward force Fo is a torque generated about the pivot axis 5, which corresponds to the product of this force and the lever of the pressure application range 14 with respect to the pivot axis 5.
  • the lever is the distance between the pressure application area 14, to which the force Fo attaches, and the pivot axis. 5
  • the constriction 11 thus defines a support region 17 which determines the position of the index finger or helps that the position of the index finger can be kept simpler in order to exert a counter force F G to the opening force Fo on the hinged lid 2. From the FIG. 1 It is clear that the distance or lever of the counterforce F G to the pivot axis 5 is smaller, the lever of the opening force Fo. In the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, the ratio of the distance of the reaction force F G to the distance of the opening force Fo is less than one third. The ratio preferably assumes values between 0 and 50 percent (more preferably 10 to 30 percent).
  • the length of the concave portion and the curvature of the concave portion are thus dimensioned to provide a good support for the index finger of a human hand.
  • the length of the concave portion between edge piece 7a and tip 9 may be 10 to 20 millimeters long while the constriction has a necking depth of about 1 to 4 millimeters.
  • the constriction should be the maximum distance of the edge 7 in its concave portion and a straight line connecting the edge piece 7a (beginning of the constriction) and the tip 9 (end of the constriction) directly.
  • a side wall 18 Similar to the lid roof 2, the side wall is formed semicircular in the front part of the hinged lid 2, but is slightly withdrawn relative to the lidded roof 2. In the rear part of the hinged lid 2, the side wall 18 is made straight on the right side, while on the left side in the rear part, the side wall is slightly curved and the concave shape of the constriction 11 traces approximately.
  • the side wall 18 represents the connection between the hinged lid 2 and the film hinge 4.
  • the base part 3 has a substantially cylindrical basic shape with a lateral surface 19 and a circular end face 20.
  • flat webs 21, 22, 23 are arranged, which form a support for the hinged lid 2 in the closed position and also reinforce the end face.
  • the webs 21, 22 and 23 are arranged and formed so that the side wall 18 is flush with these when the hinged lid 2 is closed
  • the side wall 18 encloses a sealing plug 24 which, when the hinged lid is in the closing position shown in FIG. 1, is seated concentrically in a spout 25 and closes it securely.
  • the sealing plug 24 extends from an underside of the cover panel 6 and has a height which corresponds to the height of the side wall 18.
  • An upper edge 20 of the spout 25 protrudes beyond the plane in which the circular end face 20 of the base part 3 is located.
  • FIG. 3 shows the embodiment of the Figures 1 and 2 of the page.
  • a lower edge 27 of the base part 3 and the lidded roof 6 are parallel to each other in this embodiment. It can also be seen that the constant height H of the side wall 18.
  • the height H is so dimensioned that a thumb at least partially below the protruding edge 15 finds enough space to attach the upward force Fo. Since the height of the webs 21, 22, 23 is preferably less than 1.5 mm, the height H should be greater than 3, preferably greater than 5 mm.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 Further embodiments are shown, wherein features or components that are to features and components of the in the FIGS. 1 and 3 described embodiment are identical or identical, are provided with the same reference numerals. With regard to these components and features, reference is made to the above description of the figures.
