Abstract

The invention relates to a pourer (1) of a container comprising a pouring nozzle (2) which forms a pouring channel and on the external thread (3) of which a covering cap (4) is screwed. A sealing stopper (6) which closes the pouring channel is guided non-rotatably and is vertically displaceable in the pouring channel of the pouring nozzle. The sealing stopper (6) is retained on the cap which is rotatable relative thereto, such that a screwing on of the cap leads to a lifting of the sealing stopper (6) in the pouring channel. The cap (4) has an upper opening in which the sealing stopper (6) lies with the upper end thereof. The upper end of the sealing stopper (6) has at least one tamper-evident part (7) which breaks off or breaks up when the cap is unscrewed relative to the non-rotatably retained sealing stopper.

Diese bekannte Konstruktion besitzt unterhalb der Pulling up the drinking nozzle this is taken in the mouth to allow the liquid in the container to flow into the mouth in particular to suck out. This known construction has below the
Abdeckkappe einen Originalitätsring, der beim Aufschrauben der Abdeckkappe aufgebrochen wird. Der Originalitätsring ist durch seine Lage unterhalb der Abdeckkappe schwer sichtbar, so dass nicht immer sofort erkannt wird, ob der Verschluss schon einmal geöffnet wurde. Beim Hochdrehen der Abdeckkappe kann der Trinkstutzen verdreht werden, so dass eine absolut sichere Abdichtung nicht erreichbar ist. Cover a tamper evident ring, which is broken when screwing the cap. The tamper-evident ring is difficult to see due to its position underneath the cap, so that it is not always immediately obvious whether the cap has ever been opened. When turning the cap of the drinking spout can be rotated, so that an absolutely secure seal is not achievable.

Der Kunststoffausgießer 1 weist einen hohlen zylindrischen Ausgießstutzen 2 auf, der mit seinem unteren Ende an einem Einschweißteil 15 angeformt ist, dessen Außenseite eine Schiffchenform bildet, so dass die beiden Außenseiten des Einschweißteils konvex geformt sind und an beiden Enden spitz zulaufen. Mit diesen Außenseiten wird das Einschweißteil 15 zwischen die Wände eines Beutels eingeschweißt. Pourer / stopper. The plastic pourer 1 has a hollow cylindrical Ausgießstutzen 2, which is integrally formed with its lower end to a weld-15, the outside of which forms a boat shape, so that the two outer sides of the weld-in part are convex and tapered at both ends. With these outer sides, the weld-in part 15 is welded between the walls of a bag.
Der Ausgießstutzen 2 bildet einen im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Ausgießkanal 17, der sich über die gesamte Länge des Ausgießstutzens und des The pouring spout 2 forms a substantially cylindrical pouring channel 17, which extends over the entire length of the pouring spout and the
Einschweißteils 15 erstreckt und in dem ein im Wesentlichen zylindrischer Dichtstopfen 6 formschlüssig einliegt. Der Dichtstopfen 6 endet oben in einer nach außen vorstehenden flanschförmigen bzw. ringförmigen Erweiterung 13. Welded part 15 extends and in which a substantially cylindrical sealing plug 6 rests positively. The sealing plug 6 terminates at the top in an outwardly projecting flange-shaped or annular enlargement 13.
Auf dem Ausgießstutzen 2 ist von oben eine Abdeckkappe 4 aufgeschraubt. Hierzu weist der Ausgießstutzen 2 ein Außengewinde 3 auf, in das das On the pouring spout 2, a cap 4 is screwed from above. For this purpose, the pouring spout 2 an external thread 3, in which the
Innengewinde 5 liegt. Internal thread 5 is located.
Die Kappe 4 ist nach oben offen und bildet somit eine obere Öffnung 8 mit einer teilringförmigen koaxialen Ausnehmung 11 , in der die flanschförmige Erweiterung 13 im Wesentlichen formschlüssig einliegt. Unterhalb der Erweiterung 13 steht auf der Innenseite der Kappe 4 ein koaxialer Innenring 18 vorsteht, der unterhalb der Erweiterung 13 liegt, so dass bei einem Aufschrauben der Kappe 4 die Kappe den Dichtstopfen 6 nach oben herauszieht. Hierbei kann der Innenring 18 auf seiner Unterseite noch von einem vorstehenden koaxialen, an der The cap 4 is open at the top and thus forms an upper opening 8 with a part-annular coaxial recess 11, in which the flange-shaped extension 13 rests substantially positive fit. Below the extension 13 is on the inside of the cap 4, a coaxial inner ring 18 protrudes, which is below the extension 13, so that when screwing the cap 4, the cap pulls the sealing plug 6 upwards. Here, the inner ring 18 on its underside of a protruding coaxial, on the

Der Dichtstopfen 6 ist im Ausgießkanal 17 des Ausgießstutzens 2 drehfest geführt durch achsparallele Rippen 16 an der Außenseite des Dichtstopfens 6, in die die entsprechenden achsparallelen Nuten 20 des Ausgießstutzens 2 und/oder des Innenkanals des Einschweißteils 15 einliegen. Damit wird beim Hochdrehen der Kappe 4 der Dichtstopfen 6 nach oben hochgezogen, ohne dass er sich verdrehen kann. Der Dichtstopfen 6 reicht bis zur Unterseite des Einschweißteils 15 und bildet dort einen den hohlen Stopfen verschließenden Boden 1 . Dieses untere Ende des Dichtstopfens ist mit einer den Ausgießkanal 17 verschließenden Folie 9 verbunden, die an der Unterseite des Einschweißteils befestigt ist. Beim The sealing plug 6 is rotatably guided in the pouring channel 17 of the pouring spout 2 by axially parallel ribs 16 on the outside of the sealing plug 6, in which the corresponding axially parallel grooves 20 of the pouring spout 2 and / or the inner channel of the welding part einliegen. Thus, when turning up the cap 4, the sealing plug 6 is pulled upwards without being able to rotate. The sealing plug 6 extends to the bottom of the weld-in part 15 and forms there a hollow stopper closing bottom. 1 This lower end of the sealing plug is connected to the pouring channel 17 closing film 9, which is fixed to the underside of the weld-in part. At the

Aluminiumschicht mit dem abgefüllten Produkt nicht in direktem Kontakt gelangen kann. Aluminum layer with the bottled product can not come into direct contact.
Die Abdeckkappe 4 weist statt eines oberen Bodens eine obere Öffnung 8 auf, in der der Dichtstopfen 6 mit seinem oberen Ende einliegt und die Öffnung ausfüllt. Hierbei weist das obere Ende des Dichtstopfens 6 mindestens ein Originalitätsteil 7 auf, das ab- oder aufbricht, wenn die Kappe 4 gegenüber dem unverdrehbar gehaltenen Dichtstopfen aufgedreht wird. Dieses Originalitätsteil wird von einer teilflanschförmigen Erweiterung 7 des Dichtstopfens 6 gebildet, die in einer ringförmigen oder teilringförmigen Ausnehmung 11 des inneren oberen Randes der Kappe 4 einliegt. The cap 4 has, instead of an upper bottom, an upper opening 8, in which the sealing plug 6 rests with its upper end and fills the opening. Here, the upper end of the sealing plug 6 at least one originality part 7, which breaks off or breaks up when the cap 4 is turned against the non-rotatably held sealing plug. This originality part is formed by a teilflanschförmigen extension 7 of the sealing plug 6, which rests in an annular or partially annular recess 11 of the inner upper edge of the cap 4.
Die die Orginalität bildende flanschförmige Erweiterung 7 ist über eine The forming the original flange extension 7 is about a
