Definitions

  • a particularly hygienic device is used in the DE 35 15 334 A1 discloses, in which case the closure of the container takes place in a sterile room, which is generated by means of a protective gas. Furthermore, from the US 2,974,816 A a closure system according to the preamble of claim 1 with a crown cap known, which does not bear sealingly against the upper edge of the mouth, but in which at its outer edge a peripheral to the container neck seal is provided in the form of an elastic material.
  • the sealing material may be a rubber or foam material, esp. A rubber or foam-like material whose outer surface in the ratio of the inner surface has no or substantially no pores to complicate the incorporation of impurities.
  • a germicidal or proliferation-inhibiting ingredient may be added to the sealing material, such as silver, zinc or copper particles or other permissible substances.
  • the sealing material is formed as a disc-shaped or plate-like shaped piece in the manner of a sealing pad, which has at least two more or less concentric areas.
  • One area is the radially outer area (edge area), which is formed as a bead-like rim or sealing contour. This may be suitably contoured to match the forming ends, i. also have a tooth-like structure.
  • the inner area forms the shallower middle part, which forms the mouth seal on top of the container. This may possibly have a mating to the container muzzle pad or contouring, as a muzzle seal.
  • the sealing material may have a so-called memo effect, which is that a compressed, reduced volume shape after pressure reduction is retained for a while or the original, enlarged volume shape is slowly sought again.
  • the reduction in volume can be made such that the sealing material of the bottle caps is briefly pressed in the supply line to the container or the crown corks and the sealing material are stored under pressure or pressure that the volume reduction in the sorting and Zuleitsystem to the capper or container is already given.
  • materials made of a polyurethane or this comprehensive materials to call can also be done by means of energy input supported or accelerated in a comparable manner, where executed above.
  • the sealing material is radially beyond the shaping ends, that this free sealing material forms a kind of circlip or ring, which must be injured when opening the container because he eg partially deformed, breaks and / or splits.
  • the sealing material also serves as a tamper-proof and Hygienenachweis.
  • the hygiene can be further improved if the sealing material at least partially contains germicidal or germ-inhibiting substances, such as, for example, silver or copper compounds or other known chemicals.
  • an improvement is that after the deformation and activation of the sealing material, the sealing material projects with a ring or coronary region, the free forming ends axially out and by the activation and / or by an additional treatment step the outstanding, free sealing material so esp. Also is enlarged in the radial direction that this covers the axially downwardly facing edges of the crown cap and thus forms a ring or ring below the free forming ends, which ideally has the same or a larger outer circumference, as the largest outer circumference of the forming ends in the deformed closure state.
  • the container is enclosed with an energizing gripper, rotation is not required.
  • the activation of the sealing material could be carried out on a discharge conveyor, esp. An outlet star with suitable heatable head and mouth grippers.

Claims (10)

  1. Système de fermeture de type capsule pour des contenants, comprenant en tant que corps de base un bouchon couronne présentant une pluralité d'extrémités moulées à la manière d'épis ou de dents, qui est formé au moins en partie à partir d'un matériau métallique et/ou contenant de l'aluminium et qui présente un côté intérieur se destinant à venir en appui au niveau du contenant et un côté extérieur, dans lequel le corps de base du bouchon couronne est moulé de telle manière que les extrémités moulées forment, après une déformation conforme à l'usage prévu et fermant le contenant, une ou plusieurs cavités entre la surface de contenant extérieure et les extrémités moulées, dans lequel est prévu sur le côté intérieur dans la zone des extrémités moulées un matériau étanche déformable, qui ferme les espaces creux au moins dans la périphérie de l'extrémité pointant vers le fond de contenant,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le matériau étanche est une ou plusieurs couches d'une colle à chaud et/ou thermofusible et un matériau activable aux fins de son agrandissement de volume.
  2. Système de fermeture de type capsule selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le matériau étanche fait saillie de manière radiale des extrémités moulées.
  3. Système de fermeture de type capsule selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau étanche dépasse du corps de base dans la zone de parties surélevées sur le côté intérieur de manière perpendiculaire au maximum de 1 mm, idéalement seulement de 0 à 0,5 mm.
  4. Système de fermeture de type capsule selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le matériau étanche contient au moins par endroits une substance à inhibition de germes ou germicide.
  5. Système de fermeture de type capsule selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que des sections de creux des extrémités moulées sont chargées au moins en partie d'un matériau de remplissage sur le côté extérieur du corps de base et/ou l'arête extérieure du corps de base est chargée en un matériau d'arête.
  6. Procédé servant à fermer des contenants avec un système de fermeture de type capsule selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5,
    dans lequel les contenants et les bouchons couronnes sont amenés au dispositif de fermeture, caractérisé en ce que
    une étape d'activation suit immédiatement après l'étape de la déformation des extrémités moulées, dans laquelle une augmentation de volume du matériau étanche est provoquée indirectement par l'intermédiaire d'un apport en énergie dans le bouchon couronne ou directement par l'apport en énergie dans des surfaces dégagées du matériau étanche.
  7. Procédé selon la revendication 6, caractérisé en ce que l'apport en énergie est effectué dans une station de transport et/ou de traitement en aval du dispositif de fermeture.
  8. Procédé selon la revendication 7, caractérisé en ce que l'apport en énergie est effectué au cours d'un transport continu des contenants.
  9. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 6 à 8, caractérisé en ce que le changement de forme et/ou d'état du matériau étanche est effectué de telle manière que le matériau étanche restant après la déformation et après l'activation recouvre de manière radiale les extrémités moulées libres et forme ainsi un anneau ou une couronne sous les extrémités moulées libres.
  10. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 6 à 9, caractérisé en ce que le matériau étanche est appliqué sur le corps de base du bouchon couronne,
    dans lequel
    l'étape du regroupement du matériau étanche et du corps de base est effectuée directement avant ou dans le système de fermeture, dans lequel le corps de base et le matériau étanche sont fournis à partir de deux unités de mise à disposition et de stockage différentes et sont acheminés à une unité de liaison par l'intermédiaire de systèmes d'amenée ou de transfert correspondants et y sont reliés en une unique fermeture (bouchon couronne) avant l'application sur le contenant respectif.
