Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container closure, comprising a lower closure part and a cap, as well as a mouthpiece and means for piercing a closure film, a guarantee band being provided which ensures that the closure film can only be penetrated by the means when the guarantee band has been removed, the Guarantee band is arranged between the lower closure part and the cap, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a container closure which can be placed, for example screwed, onto a container, such as a plastic bottle.
  • This container closure has a lower closure part and a cap as well as a mouthpiece and means for piercing a closure.
  • a guarantee tape is provided, which ensures that the sealing film can only be pierced by the means when the guarantee tape has been removed.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a generic container closure in such a way that no additional waste arises when handling the container closure.
  • the guarantee band is designed as a closed ring which is connected to a lower edge of the cap via at least one separable web and the cap is rotatably and pushably mounted in sections on the lower closure part. Due to the design of the guarantee band as a closed ring, it remains on the container closure after the cap has been actuated, so that the generation of waste is effectively avoided. After use, the container closure can be disposed of, if necessary together with the container on which it is arranged. At the same time, the operation of the container closure is optimized since the cap is mounted on the lower part of the closure so that it can be rotated and pressed in sections.
  • the rotational movement of the cap relative to the lower closure part separates the closed ring, which is axially but non-rotatably mounted on the lower closure part, by the at least one web being severed by the rotational movement of the cap relative to the non-rotating guarantee band .
  • the design of the at least one web preferably a plurality of webs, is selected such that a certain amount of force is required to turn the cap and thereby separate the at least one web from the guarantee band.
  • the closed ring can move axially, that is, along the longitudinal axis of the container closure. It moves away from the lower edge of the cap after the at least one web has been severed, with sufficient space available for this movement.
  • the cap After the cap has been rotated relative to the lower closure part over a certain partial circumference, it arrives in a position in which a pushing movement is possible. This position, in which the pushing movement is possible, can be achieved by a corresponding stop. If the cap has reached this point after twisting, not only is the guarantee band, which is designed as a closed ring, separated from the cap, but the cap can also be moved from above in the direction of the lower part of the closure lower part, i.e. in the direction of the container, by applying a compressive force become. By means of this movement, the means for piercing the sealing film are also taken along and sever this sealing film.
  • the severing of the closure film means that a medium which is located in the lower closure part and is initially arranged in a sealing manner by the closure film in the lower closure part can get into the container underneath.
  • the container closure according to the invention thus offers the advantage that the means for piercing the closure film can be actuated in a handling that is simple to carry out, while at the same time the generation of waste is effectively avoided. All parts of the container closure remain on the container closure after they have been moved (tear off the guarantee tape, pierce the sealing film), which, if necessary, can then be disposed of together with the container after use and can be recycled in an advantageous manner:
  • the cap is formed by a base part on which a swivel part is arranged.
  • the base part is rotatably and pushably mounted on the lower closure part so that it cannot be lost, a swivel part can be moved relative to it to allow access to the mouthpiece and to remove the contents of the container.
  • the swivel part is a separate part and can be arranged on the base part, for example by means of a positive and / or non-positive connection.
  • the swivel part is arranged on the base part such that it can be moved and cannot be lost. While it is conceivable, as already described above, that the swivel part is a separate part from the base part and can possibly be lost, in this further embodiment of the invention the swivel part is arranged on the base part so as to be movable and captive. This has the advantage that the swivel part can also be moved in order to make the mouthpiece accessible. At the same time, however, this swivel part is also captively attached to the base part, so that the generation of waste after the final use of the container closure is thereby also avoided.
  • the guarantee band designed as a closed ring is arranged over the at least one web on the lower edge of the base part of the cap.
  • the base part of the cap and the guarantee band are initially connected to one another. If a force is now applied to the cap, including the base part, it is possible, due to the permissible rotational movement of the cap and its base part, to rotate this element relatively with respect to the lower closure part.
  • the guarantee band which is designed as a closed ring, is mounted on the lower closure part in such a way that a linear movement along the longitudinal axis of the container closure is possible, but no rotational movement.
  • the cap itself with its base part is rotated by the force that is applied to the cap to rotate it, but the closed ring cannot take part in this rotary movement.
  • the at least one web is severed.
  • the severing is an optically perceptible sign that the cap has been twisted.
  • this visual perception of the separation of the guarantee band is increased in that the guarantee band, which is designed as a closed ring, moves away from the circumferential lower edge of the base part of the cap. This also creates space for the lower edge of the base part to approach the guarantee band when a compressive force is applied to the cap, with which the means for piercing the sealing film are actuated.
  • a distance between the lower edge of the guarantee band and an upper edge of the lower closure part corresponds at least to the distance that the means for piercing the closure film can cover.
  • FIGS. 1 to 11 show a container closure 1 with a cap 2 in different views and functional sections.
  • the container closure 1 has a mouthpiece 3, a piercing nail 4 as a means for piercing a closure film (not shown) and a closure lower part 5 with a guarantee band 6.
  • a mouthpiece 3 In the mouthpiece 3 is the Figures 1 to 3 an opening 7 facing upwards, in which the piercing nail 4 is arranged in its starting position in a sealing manner. As can be seen, the piercing nail 4 protrudes a little beyond the top of the mouthpiece 3.
  • the guarantee band 6 is designed as a closed ring and is arranged on the lower edge of the cap 2 via a web, preferably a plurality of webs 8 distributed over the circumference.
  • a rotary guide for the cap 2 is shown, as are locking means by which the cap 2 is fixed on the lower closure part 5 after the rotational movement has been carried out.
  • the cap 2 can no longer be rotated further, but it can carry out a linear movement (parallel to the printing direction 9).
  • the cap 2 is thus rotated, the guarantee band 6 tearing off.
  • the cap 2 can then neither be rotated nor moved axially. This means that a backward movement of the cap 2 is no longer possible.
  • This is advantageously implemented in an advantageous manner so that the container closure 1 can no longer move relative to the container on which it is arranged. This also makes it easier to release the container closure 1 from the container.
  • means such as latching means or the like that cause the guarantee band 6 to be fixed with respect to the lower closure part 5 in such a way that it does not undergo a rotary movement of the cap 2 (as a result of which the at least one web 8 is separated), but a linear movement (likewise along the printing direction 9) is possible.
  • the latter After severing the at least one web 8 and thus detaching the guarantee band 6 from the cap 2, the latter can move linearly in the direction of an upper edge 10 of the lower closure part 5 without executing a rotary movement.
  • a space is available for this, a distance A being available between the circumferential lower edge of the guarantee band 6, which is designed as a closed ring, and the upper edge 10 ( Figure 1 ).
  • This distance A is at least as large as the upper part of the piercing nail 4, which projects beyond the top of the mouthpiece 3.
  • This distance A is in Figure 3 drawn.
  • the mouthpiece 3 has a guide groove 11, in which a correspondingly shaped and inward projection, such as a pin (round, square, elongated or the like), slides along the cap 2 during the rotational and pushing movement of the cap 2 and thus is led.
  • the guide groove 11 has a horizontal section 12 and a vertical section 13 (when viewing the Figure 2 ), a transition being angled between these two sections 12, 13, for example at right angles, stepped or, as shown, arched). If the cap 2 is now turned around the mouthpiece 3, the projection of the cap 2 initially runs in the horizontal section 12. During this partial movement, the interaction of the projection of the cap 2 and the horizontal section 12 prevents movement of the cap 2 in the pressure direction 9.
  • the at least one web 8 is severed because the cap 2 makes the partial movement (rotation or rotation), which the guarantee band 6 cannot take part in due to its corresponding definition, for example, via locking means, since the means between the guarantee band 6 and Cap 2 are present (but not shown), only allow movement of the guarantee band 6 in the printing direction 9.
  • the cap 2 can be moved downward in a further partial movement (pushing or linear movement) (in the direction of pressure 9).
  • the guarantee band 6 is already detached from the cap 2, so that after a complete movement (rotary and pushing movement) of the cap 2, its circumferential lower edge comes into contact parallel to the circumferential upper edge of the guarantee band 6.
  • the circumferential lower edge of the guarantee band 6 is aligned parallel to the upper edge 10, preferably also comes into contact.
  • the dimension "A" is thus reduced.
  • the projection of the cap 2 is in the horizontal section 12 of the guide groove 11, it can only be rotated, but not pressed (moved linearly). Only from the transition from the horizontal section 12 in the direction of the vertical section 13 is a pure linear movement or a combination of rotary and pushing movements permitted.
  • the cap 2 which has a base part 21 and a pivot part 22, preferably arranged so that it cannot be lost. While the base part 21 is rotatably and linearly mounted on the lower closure part 5, the pivot part 22 can be pivoted by the base part 21 to open the opening 7 or to close it.
  • Figure 5 shows a detailed view of the lower closure part 5 with its mouthpiece 3, the opening 7 (here without piercing nail 4) being shown at the upper end of the mouthpiece 3.
  • FIG 6 An exemplary detailed design of a piercing nail 4 can be seen, which has a compression geometry 41 at one end and a piercing geometry 42 at its other end and at least one sealing geometry 43 in between.
  • the printing geometry 41 is, as already in the Figures 1 to 3 recognizable, arranged outside the upper end of the mouthpiece 3.
  • the at least one sealing geometry 43 is present in a plane E, with which it is in the plane E in which the opening 7 is located ( Figure 5 ) arranged so that this opening 7 in the original state of the Sealing geometry 43 is closed.
  • the piercing geometry 42 is located, for example, in a plane which is somewhat above the plane in which the circumferential lower edge of the lower closure part 5 is arranged.
  • a closure film is also arranged, so that the interior of the closure lower part 5, in which essential parts of the piercing nail 4 and a freely selectable medium are located, of the closure film on the one hand and of the Sealing geometry 43 closed on the other hand. If a force is applied to the pressure geometry 41, the piercing nail 4 is moved along its longitudinal axis in the direction of the lower closure part 5, whereby on the one hand the opening 7 is opened and on the other hand the closure film (not shown) is pierced by means of the piercing geometry 42.
  • Figure 7 shows the delivery state in which the guarantee band 6 is still arranged on the cap 2 via its at least one web 8 and the cap 2 is arranged on the lower closure part 5.
  • the piercing nail 4 with its pressure geometry 41 protrudes a little beyond the upper edge of the mouthpiece 3.
  • Figure 8 shows the next step, in which the cap 2 is rotated along a partial circumference (rotary movement R), the cap 2 can be rotated a little until it reaches a defined end position.
  • the at least one web 8 is cut through and the guarantee band can move linearly in the direction of the upper edge 10 of the lower closure part 5.
  • Figure 10 shows as the next step that the opening 7 in the mouthpiece 3 can be made accessible by moving the pivoting part 22 along a pivoting movement V, while at the same time the base part 21 remains on the lower closure part 5.
  • the opening 7 in the mouthpiece 3 it could also be considered to design the cap 2 in one piece or to design the swivel part 22 to be detachable and thus detachable from the base part 21.
  • Figure 11 shows as the last step that the pivoting part 22 can be moved again in the opposite pivoting direction V, so that the opening 7 in the mouthpiece 3 is closed again by means of the cap 2 and the container is thereby sealed from its external environment.
