Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluss für einen Behälter, bevorzugt für eine Flasche für Getränke oder dergleichen, umfassend einen mit einem Kragen mit Innengewinde versehenen ersten Teil.The invention relates to a closure for a container, preferably for a bottle for drinks or the like, comprising a provided with a collar with internal thread first part.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Speziell bei der Verpackung von Getränken oder dergleichen ist die Haltbarkeit nach Abfüllung immer ein Thema. Im Allgemeinen ist es so, dass fertig gemischte Getränke eine verminderte Haltbarkeit aufweisen gegenüber einer getrennten Lagerung von Wasser und einem einzumischenden Konzentrat, sei es ein Pulver oder ein Flüssigkonzentrat. Prinzipiell besteht die Möglichkeit, Pulver oder Konzentrate, wie beispielsweise Brausetabletten oder Fruchtsirupe direkt zu verkaufen, diese müssen jedoch dann vom Endkunden mit der richtigen Menge an Lösungsmittel versetzt werden, wodurch die Bequemlichkeit der Anwendung herabgesetzt ist. Bei einer Vorrichtung zum getrennten Lagern innerhalb eines Behälters sowie einer entsprechenden Mischvorrichtung zeigt der Stand der Technik mehrere Lösungen, welche jedoch alle in der Herstellung deutlich teurer sind, als die Abfüllung bereits fertig gemischter Getränke. Dies liegt einerseits an der aufwändigen Konstruktion der Lager- und Mischbehälter und andererseits daran, dass herkömmliche Abfüllanlagen zumeist nicht mit diesen Konstruktionen kompatibel sind.Especially in the packaging of drinks or the like, the shelf life after bottling is always an issue. In general, ready-mixed beverages have reduced shelf life over separate storage of water and a concentrate to be mixed, be it a powder or a liquid concentrate. In principle, it is possible to directly sell powders or concentrates, such as effervescent tablets or fruit syrups, but these must then be added by the end customer with the right amount of solvent, whereby the convenience of the application is reduced. In a device for separate storage within a container and a corresponding mixing device, the prior art shows several solutions, which, however, are all significantly more expensive to produce than the filling of already mixed drinks. On the one hand, this is due to the complex design of the storage and mixing containers and, on the other hand, to the fact that conventional filling systems are generally incompatible with these constructions.

So zeigt zum Beispiel die US 6045254 einen Behälter, der durch einen speziellen Kragen in Zusammenwirken mit einem axial verschiebbaren Stempel mit Dichtring den Behälter in zwei Abteilungen unterteilt. Darin kann dann separat Flüssigkeit und Konzentrat gelagert werden. Beim Aufschrauben des einzigen Gewindes am Behälterausgang, wird der Stempel angehoben und es kommt zu einer Vermischung zwischen Konzentrat und Flüssigkeit. Diese Konstruktion ist aufwändig, da eine spezielle Flasche mit speziellem Verschluss hergestellt werden muss. Das Gewinde am Flaschenhals muss ebenfalls mit einem speziellen Endanschlag versehen werden, damit beim Nutzer ein vollständiges Abschrauben des Stempels vor Beendigung des Mischvorgangs verhindert wird. Die Abfüllanlage muss auch entsprechend ausgestattet sein, damit dieser Typ von Behälter überhaupt befüllbar ist. Insgesamt erhöhen sich dadurch die Herstellungskosten derart, dass es für die meisten Anwendungen in der Praxis unwirtschaftlich wird, diese Art von Behälter zu verwenden.So shows, for example, the US 6045254 a container, which divides the container into two compartments by a special collar in cooperation with an axially displaceable punch with sealing ring. It can then be stored separately liquid and concentrate. When screwing on the single thread at the container outlet, the plunger is raised and mixing between the concentrate and the liquid occurs. This construction is complex because a special bottle with a special closure must be made. The thread at the bottleneck must also be provided with a special end stop, so that the user a complete Unscrewing the punch is prevented before completion of the mixing process. The bottling plant must also be equipped accordingly so that this type of container can be filled at all. Overall, this increases the manufacturing costs such that it becomes uneconomical for most applications to use this type of container in practice.

Die DE 69905185T2 zeigt einen Flaschenverschluss mit einer Mischvorrichtung, welcher einen Zusatz in eine Flüssigkeit innerhalb der Flasche einbringen kann. Der Aufbau ist generell kompliziert und erfordert verschiedene Materialien für den Flaschenverschluss, da zur Auslösung des Mischvorgangs eine Membran durchstochen werden muss. Der Verschluss mit dem befüllten Zusatz kann bei diesem Aufbau ebenfalls nur mit hohem Herstellungsaufwand gefertigt werden, was die Anwendung in der Praxis unwirtschaftlich macht.The DE 69905185T2 shows a bottle cap with a mixing device which can introduce an additive into a liquid within the bottle. The structure is generally complicated and requires different materials for the bottle closure, as to trigger the mixing process, a membrane must be pierced. The closure with the filled additive can also be made in this structure only with high production costs, which makes the application in practice uneconomical.

Die WO 2007/006414 A1 und die US 2631521 zeigen jeweils Ausführungsformen, bei welchen der Auslösemechanismus durch eine flexible Membran gebildet wird und bei Druck auf die Membran eine weitere Membran im Inneren des Behälters durchstoßen bzw. durchtrennt wird. Auch hier ist der Herstellungsaufwand groß aufgrund der verschiedenen Materialien für den Verschluss.The WO 2007/006414 A1 and the US 2631521 each show embodiments in which the triggering mechanism is formed by a flexible membrane and when pressure on the membrane, another membrane in the interior of the container is pierced or severed. Again, the manufacturing cost is large due to the different materials for the closure.

Kurzbeschreibung der ErfindungBrief description of the invention

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, einen Verschluss zu schaffen, welcher einfach aufgebaut ist, einfach zu befüllen ist und in herkömmlichen Abfüllanlagen bei der Endmontage mit einem Behälter einsetzbar ist. Der Verschluss soll dabei idealerweise aus wenigen Teilen bestehen, die alle aus einem Materialtyp gefertigt werden können. Im Verschluss soll eine druckdichte Kammer zur Aufnahme von zumindest einem Konzentrat in flüssiger Form oder in Form eines Pulvers ausgebildet werden.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure which is simple, easy to fill and can be used in conventional filling systems during final assembly with a container. The closure should ideally consist of a few parts, all of which can be made of one material type. In the closure, a pressure-tight chamber for receiving at least one concentrate in liquid form or in the form of a powder is to be formed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die vorliegende Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass am ersten Teil eine nach oben hin offene und nach unten hin geschlossene erste zylindrische Hülse angeformt ist, in welcher eine oben geschlossene und unten offene zweite zylindrische Hülse axial verschiebbar gelagert ist, wobei in der ersten Hülse am unteren geschlossenen Ende Öffnungen vorgesehen sind, welche bei vollständig eingeschobener zweiter Hülse durch den Rand am offenen Ende der zweiten Hülse abgedichtet sind, wodurch eine druckdichte Kammer zur Aufnahme einer Flüssigkeit und/oder eines Pulvers sowie gegebenenfalls eines Treibmittels ausgebildet ist, und dass am oberen geschlossenen Ende der zweiten Hülse ein Außengewinde vorgesehen ist, welches mit einem Innengewinde eines Deckelteils in Eingriff steht, wobei der Deckelteil mittels Rastvorsprüngen am Kragen des ersten Teils gehalten und gegenüber diesem drehbar gelagert ist. Der Verschluss kann somit in einfacher Weise, beispielsweise mittels Spritzguss hergestellt werden. Er besteht aus lediglich 3 Teilen, welche aus dem gleichen Material gefertigt sein können und leicht und automatisiert zusammenfügbar sind. Das Konzentrat kann dabei in die entstehende Kammer zwischen erster Hülse und zweiter Hülse eingefüllt werden und der zusammengesetzte Verschluss mit Konzentrat wird dann ebenso wie ein herkömmlicher Flaschenverschluss in einer Abfüllanlage verwendet, wobei nur geringe oder gar keine Modifikationen an der Abfüllanlage notwendig sind.This object is achieved by the present invention in that on the first part an upwardly open and downwardly closed first cylindrical sleeve is formed, in which an upwardly closed and open at the bottom second cylindrical sleeve axially is slidably mounted, wherein in the first sleeve at the lower closed end openings are provided which are sealed at fully inserted second sleeve by the edge at the open end of the second sleeve, whereby a pressure-tight chamber for receiving a liquid and / or a powder and optionally a blowing agent is formed, and that at the upper closed end of the second sleeve, an external thread is provided, which is in engagement with an internal thread of a cover part, wherein the cover part is held by means of latching projections on the collar of the first part and rotatably supported relative thereto. The closure can thus be produced in a simple manner, for example by means of injection molding. It consists of only 3 parts, which can be made of the same material and are easy and automated zusammenfügbar. The concentrate can be filled into the resulting chamber between the first sleeve and second sleeve and the composite closure with concentrate is then used as well as a conventional bottle cap in a bottling plant, with little or no modifications to the filling system are necessary.

Es ist ein weiteres Merkmal der Erfindung, dass die Gewinde am Deckelteil und an der zweiten Hülse gegenläufig zu dem Gewinde am Kragen des ersten Teils verlaufen. Bei einem herkömmlichen Flaschenverschluss wird dieser bei Drehung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn aufgedreht. Dies entspricht im Normalfall der Laufrichtung des Gewindes am Kragen des ersten Teils, welcher auf einen Behälter, beispielsweise eine herkömmliche Flasche, aufgeschraubt wird. Wird nun der Deckelteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusses in Aufdrehrichtung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verdreht, so bewirkt das gegenläufige Gewinde zwischen Deckelteil und zweiter Hülse, dass die zweite Hülse angehoben wird, wodurch die Öffnungen am geschlossenen unteren Ende der ersten Hülse freigegeben werden und das unter Druck stehende Konzentrat ins Flascheninnere austreten kann. Dabei kommt es zu einem Vermischen der Flüssigkeit im Behälter und dem Konzentrat. Sobald die Hülse vollständig in den Deckelteil eingedreht ist kommt diese an einen Endanschlag. Wenn man nun den Verschluss weiter in Aufdrehrichtung weiterdreht, so würde der gesamte Verschluss vom Behälter abgeschraubt werden, sofern dies vom Benutzer gewünscht ist.It is a further feature of the invention that the threads on the cover part and on the second sleeve run counter to the thread on the collar of the first part. In a conventional bottle cap, this is turned on counterclockwise rotation. This normally corresponds to the running direction of the thread on the collar of the first part, which is screwed onto a container, for example a conventional bottle. If now the cover part of the closure according to the invention is rotated in the counterclockwise direction of rotation, the counter-rotating thread between the cover part and the second sleeve causes the second sleeve to be raised, thereby releasing the openings at the closed lower end of the first sleeve and the pressurized concentrate can escape into the bottle interior. This results in a mixing of the liquid in the container and the concentrate. Once the sleeve is completely screwed into the cover part this comes to a End stop. If you now continue to turn the closure in the direction of rotation, so the entire closure would be unscrewed from the container, if desired by the user.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass im Deckelteil eine zentrale Austrittsöffnung vorgesehen ist, welche in geschlossener Ausgangsstellung durch einen Schließstopfen am geschlossenen Ende der zweiten Hülse abgedichtet ist, und dass Durchtrittsöffnungen an der Außenseite der zweiten Hülse sowie am Kragen des ersten Teils vorgesehen sind, durch welche bei offener Endstellung des Verschlusses eine kommunizierende Verbindung zwischen dem Inneren des Behälters und der in dieser Stellung offenen zentralen Austrittsöffnung im Deckelteil ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme kann am Verschluss eine Trinköffnung ausgebildet werden. Durchtrittsöffnungen am Kragen des ersten Teils sowie an der Außenseite der zweiten Hülse bilden gemeinsam mit der zentralen Austrittsöffnung im Deckelteil einen Weg zum Inneren des Behälters, durch welchen die fertig gemischte Flüssigkeit austreten kann.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that in the cover part a central outlet opening is provided, which is sealed in the closed starting position by a closing plug at the closed end of the second sleeve, and that passage openings on the outside of the second sleeve and on the collar of the first part are provided, through which in the open end position of the closure, a communicating connection between the interior of the container and the open in this position central outlet opening in the lid part is formed. By this measure, a drinking opening can be formed on the closure. Passage openings on the collar of the first part and on the outside of the second sleeve together with the central outlet opening in the cover part form a path to the interior of the container, through which the ready-mixed liquid can escape.

In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass im Inneren der ersten Hülse oder der zweiten Hülse zumindest eine Trennwand angeordnet ist, wodurch eine Unterteilung der Kammer zur Aufnahme unterschiedlicher Substanzen ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme können mehrere verschiedene Substanzen getrennt voneinander im Verschluss gelagert werden, was je nach Anwendungsfall die Haltbarkeit der Substanzen innerhalb der Verpackung weiter erhöhen kann.In one possible embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one partition wall is arranged in the interior of the first sleeve or the second sleeve, whereby a subdivision of the chamber for receiving different substances is formed. By this measure, several different substances can be stored separately in the closure, which depending on the application, the durability of the substances within the packaging can further increase.

Es ist ein weiteres Merkmal der vorliegenden Erfindung, dass der Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem Gewinde an der zweiten Hülse und dem Gewinde im Deckelteil geringer ist als der Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem Gewinde am Kragen des ersten Teils und einem entsprechenden Gewinde an der Öffnung des Behälters. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass bei einem Verdrehen des Verschlusses in Aufdrehrichtung, also im Normalfall gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, immer zuerst die zweite Hülse in Richtung Offenstellung bewegt wird und erst nach Erreichen des Endanschlags der zweiten Hülse, der gesamte Verschluss vom Behälter abgeschraubt werden kann.It is another feature of the present invention that the frictional resistance between the thread on the second sleeve and the thread in the cover part is less than the frictional resistance between the thread on the collar of the first part and a corresponding thread on the opening of the container. This ensures that with a rotation of the closure in the Aufdrehrichtung, ie normally in the normal counterclockwise direction, always first the second sleeve is moved in the direction of the open position and only after reaching the end stop of the second sleeve, the entire closure can be unscrewed from the container.

Zusätzlich ist es ein Merkmal der Erfindung, dass am ersten Teil oberhalb der ersten zylindrischen Hülse entlang des Innenumfangs des ersten Teils mehrere senkrechte Führungsnuten angeordnet sind, in welchen entsprechende Führungsvorsprünge, die an der Außenseite am oberen geschlossenen Ende der zweiten zylindrischen Hülse angeordnet sind, geführt sind, wodurch die zweite zylindrische Hülse bei Bewegung zwischen geschlossener Ausgangsstellung und offener Endstellung gegenüber dem ersten Teil drehfest axial verschiebbar gelagert ist. Dies stellt eine einfache Möglichkeit dar, sicherzustellen, dass die zweite zylindrische Hülse innerhalb des ersten Teils zwangsgeführt ist und sich nicht beim Verdrehen des Deckelteils mit diesem mitdreht.In addition, it is a feature of the invention that at the first part above the first cylindrical sleeve along the inner periphery of the first part a plurality of vertical guide grooves are arranged, in which corresponding guide projections, which are arranged on the outside at the upper closed end of the second cylindrical sleeve, out are, whereby the second cylindrical sleeve during movement between the closed starting position and the open end position relative to the first part rotatably mounted axially displaceable. This provides a simple way to ensure that the second cylindrical sleeve is constrained within the first part and does not rotate with it during rotation of the cover part.

Schließlich ist es ein Merkmal der Erfindung, dass die senkrechten Führungsnuten an ihrem oberen offenen Ende Einlaufschrägen aufweisen, welche beim Zusammenbau des Verschlusses der Zentrierung der Führungsvorsprünge der zweiten zylindrischen Hülse in den Führungsnuten dienen. So kann bei einem automatischen Zusammenbau des Verschlusses immer sichergestellt werden, dass sich beim Einsetzen der zweiten zylindrischen Hülse in den ersten Teil die Führungsvorsprünge immer richtig zu den Führungsnuten ausrichten. Dabei können zusätzlich auch an den Führungsvorsprüngen gegengleiche Zentrierschrägen vorgesehen sein. Er versteht sich für den Durchschnittsfachmann, dass selbstverständlich auch die Führungsvorsprünge am Innenumfang des ersten Teils und die Führungsnuten an der Außenseite der zweiten zylindrischen Hülse angeordnet sein können.Finally, it is a feature of the invention that the vertical guide grooves have at their upper open end inlet slopes, which serve in the assembly of the closure of the centering of the guide projections of the second cylindrical sleeve in the guide grooves. Thus, in an automatic assembly of the closure can always be ensured that align with the insertion of the second cylindrical sleeve in the first part of the guide projections always correct to the guide grooves. It can additionally be provided on the guide projections opposite centering bevels. It will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that, of course, the guide projections on the inner periphery of the first part and the guide grooves on the outer side of the second cylindrical sleeve may be arranged.
