Definitions
- the invention relates to a drinking cup lid for a drinking cup with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a drinking cup lid is in the JP S60 20733 U disclosed.
- Another drinking cup lid is in the EP 2 532 601 B1 disclosed.
- the drinking spout is designed as a flexible tube made of plastic, which can be bent to close the internal flow channel.
- the kinked position of the tube via which a tightness of the drinking cup lid alone can be ensured, is secured by a cap which can be locked with a snap connection to the lower part of the drinking cup lid. If the cap is loosened and folded back, the drinking nozzle can return to its original shape due to the elastic restoring forces, and the internal flow channel is released again.
- Such drinking cup lids are intended in particular for use in sporting activities in which drinking is to be carried out directly from the bottle via the drinking neck, also called a drinking snorkel.
- the disadvantage of the known drinking cup lid is that the pivoted cap, which also causes the closure, is a hindrance. When drinking over the drinking neck, it must be held back with a finger.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a drinking cup lid with a drinking spout that does not require an additional cap to bend the drinking spout, hold it in the bent position and thus effect a tight seal.
- a drinking cup lid with the features of claim 1, in particular in that the drinking neck is held in an articulated and / or displaceably mounted guide slide and that the kinked drinking neck within a through the Edge of the receiving space is storable.
- the receiving space for the drinking neck is formed in the cavity below the cap
- the receiving space according to the invention is formed directly on the base part.
- the drinking nozzle is secured in the bent position by means of the guide carriage, which is located in the locking position on the top of the receiving space.
- a defined kink is achieved in that the drinking neck does not simply protrude freely from the base element, but is held in the guide carriage with its defined bearing points.
- the guide carriage is arranged in relation to the position of the outlet opening in the base element in such a way that a double kink occurs. Seen in cross-section, an S-shaped meandering configuration of the drinking neck is formed, so that the internal drinking channel is even shut off at two points and a reliable shut-off is achieved.
- the interplay between the position of the guide carriage and the elasticity of the drinking neck is also essential to the invention.
- the guide carriage is pressed down with the thumb, tilts forward and takes the drinking spout with it.
- the articulation points of the guide carriage come into a rail due to the guidance in a sliding link, which allows a linear retraction movement.
- the user can thus pull back slightly after pushing down the drinking neck of the guide carriage, that is to say radially outward, where the guide carriage is blocked by an unlocking button and thus also keeps the bent drinking neck below.
- the locked position of the guide carriage is held in that it is articulated and that the spring force of the deformed drinking spout presses the guide carriage firmly against the release button.
- the user In order to be able to drink from the bottle again, the user only needs to push the guide carriage forward slightly so that it comes out of engagement with the release button. With the slight pressure that releases the lock, the guide projections on the guide carriage are also pushed back into the sliding link, so that the guide carriage can straighten up, caused by the elastic return of the drinking nozzle. The user then pushes the guide carriage forward again, the drinking neck kinking and the guide carriage being moved back into its locked position.
- a safety slide is preferably provided which can be moved into a position above the receiving space, where it either locks the angled drinking spout and / or secures the guide carriage, for example, in that it forms a latching connection with the guide carriage. Since the safety slide can only be moved translationally, the guide slide cannot tilt as long as the guide slide engages with the safety slide. Rather, the user must first bring the safety slide into the outer position in order to be able to move the guide carriage and the drinking spout at all, and must then trigger the release button already described above to release the guide carriage.
- the radial displacement can be carried out by the user himself by a withdrawal movement.
- the guide carriage slides on a guide link with a sliding edge or sliding surface, when the user swings the guide carriage down.
- This positive guidance is achieved when the guide carriage is pressed slightly below the transport position.
- the guide carriage in an inclined position, in which its outer, rear support edge is slightly raised, is pushed outwards so far that the support edge lies above a support surface.
- a preferred embodiment also provides at least one additional spring element which acts on bearing journals on the outside of the guide carriage. The user then only has to swivel the guide slide with the drinking neck down. The necessary retraction movement to produce the lock is achieved via the spring elements that linearly push the guide carriage back into the locked position.
- the base element 10 has an outer, approximately cylindrical body, which extends from a lower edge, at which a screw thread begins, to an upper edge 15.
- the screw thread can be used to produce a sealing connection with a bottle neck of a drinking cup or a drinking bottle, in particular an insulating bottle.
- the interior of the base element 10 is divided by a base plate 11 which has a plurality of openings 12, 19. On the one hand, there is a pouring opening 19. In addition, there are several small ventilation openings 12 in the base plate.
- the insert element 20 lies against the bottom 11 in the base element 10 and is connected to it in a sealing manner.
- a drinking spout 23 which has an inner flow channel 24 which starts from an inlet opening 21.
- the insert element 20 is provided with a small dome, which is clamped over a spacer 13 which projects downward from the base plate 11.
- FIG 1 the closed transport position of the drinking bottle closure 100 is shown.
- the drinking spout 23 is bent twice, namely once radially to the left from the outlet opening 21, from where it is deflected in a bend 22 and runs in the other direction. Due to the double folding, on the one hand the drinking spout 23 can be made longer and still be stored within the edge 15, and on the other hand the double closure of the inner flow channel 24 provides greater security against leakage of liquid.
- the part of the drinking spout 23 lying behind the bend 22 lies completely within the receiving space 14, which is surrounded by the edge 15 and is delimited at the rear by the bottom 11.
- the position of the kinked drinking spout 23 is secured on the one hand by the guide carriage 30, which is in Figure 1 is in a locked position.
- the guide carriage 30 has a bearing pin 31 on both sides for pivotable mounting in the base element 10
- a safety slide 40 has been brought into the locking position, in which the guide carriage 30 lies above the receiving space 14.
- the safety slide 40 is guided in a rail 16. It secures the guide carriage 30 and thus prevents the drinking spout 23 from erecting unintentionally and thus being able to open the flow channel 24 inside.
- the rail 16 is formed on both sides on the inner flanks of a U-shaped clasp 17 which extends radially outward beyond the edge 15 of the base element 10.
- the clasp 17 can also be used for carrying in the closed position.
- the guide carriage 30, despite being released by the safety slide, cannot yet snap up automatically, since it is still positively coupled to the housing 10 over a short distance, so that it can be displaced in the radial direction, but cannot yet rotate about its bearing journals.
- the guide carriage 30 is pushed radially forward, towards the center, by lightly pressing the release button 50 and is thus free at its rear end, as is the case Figure 3 shows.
- the sledge 30 is no longer secured against rotation relative to the base element 10 and can straighten up again due to the restoring force of the bent, elastic drinking nozzle 23.
- FIG 4 the drinking position is shown.
- the drinking spout 23 has unfolded completely, so that the internal flow channel 24 between the outlet opening 21 and the end of the drinking spout 23 is open.
- the drinking spout 23 is held in the guide carriage 30, so that both components assume approximately the same angular position.
- FIG 5A, 5B the closed position is analogous to Figure 1 shown, but in a perspective view.
- Both the guide slide 30 and the safety slide 40 are located in an approximately horizontal position above the receiving space 14 inside and completely cover the opening of the receiving space 14.
- Protrusions are formed on the top of the guide slide 30 and the safety slide 40, which form a recessed grip in order to facilitate the operation of the drinking cup lid 100 by moving the components.
- the guide carriage 30 is on the one hand by the in the partially sectioned view in Figure 5B visible journal 31 fixed in a receptacle 18 in the base member 10.
- the guide carriage 30 has a rear edge 32 on one shoulder in the base element 10. With its front edge, it is held by the safety slide 40.
- the bearing seat 18 is designed as a double bearing seat or as an elongated hole. The bearing journal 31 can thus be changed in its position by displacement.
- the first contact of the sliding edge 33 with the guide link 13 shows Figure 9 .
- the guide carriage 30 is slightly inclined downwards inwards.
- the rear side of the guide carriage 30 is slightly raised.
- the rear edge 32 is located above the support 10.1 on the base element 10. Since there is contact on the guide link 30 on the one hand, the bearing journals 31 on the other hand in the receptacles 18 (see Figure 6B , 7B ) are held, the force applied by the user is redirected so that the pins 31 are displaced radially until they lie in their rearward position within the receptacles 18. If the user then lets go, the guide carriage 30 is pressed upwards by the elasticity of the drinking nozzle 23, as a result of which the rear edge 32 lies on the support surface 10.1. The transport position is thus already secured. An additional securing can finally be brought about by the securing slide 40, which prevents the guide carriage 30 from being moved out of the blocking position by inadvertent slight pressure.
- Figure 11A shows a trick cup lid 100 'according to a second embodiment in a perspective view. A secured transport position is shown. The guide slide 30, the locking slide 40 and the base element 10 are essentially unchanged from the first embodiment.
- a compression spring element 25 ' is provided, which is arranged between the bearing journal 31 and the base housing 10. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is part of the insert element and thus, together with the drinking nozzle 23 ', is formed in one piece from elastomeric material.
- the compression spring element 25 ' is a compressible body, which presses the guide carriage 30 into the secured position via the bearing pins 31 and holds it there.
- the user In order to be able to erect the drinking nozzle 23 ', the user must push the guide carriage 30 against the force of the compression spring element 25' into the in Figure 11B move shown position.
- the elastomeric compression spring element 25 ' is compressed.
- This position corresponds to the representation of the first embodiment in FIG Figure 7B . Accordingly, the drinking position, in which the drinking nozzle 23 'is erected, is also exactly the same in the case of the drinking cup lid 100' as in FIG Figure 8 represents.
- a trick cup lid 100 "according to a third embodiment is shown in a perspective view, again in an unlocked position.
- the guide carriage 30, the locking slide 40 and the base element 10 are also essentially unchanged here compared to the first and the second embodiment. It is different the insert element with the drinking spout 23 ", which in this embodiment does not have a molded-on, elastomeric spring element, but instead has a metallic pressure spring element 50" in the same position and function outside and thus automatically moves the guide carriage 30 back into the locking position as soon as the user no longer exerts pressure on the guide carriage 30.
- the friction between the bearing journal 31 and the elastomeric compression spring element 25' additionally brakes the movement.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Trinkbecherdeckel für einen Trinkbecher mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a drinking cup lid for a drinking cup with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solcher Trinkbecherdeckel ist in der
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, einen Trinkbecherdeckel mit Trinkstutzen anzugeben, der ohne eine zusätzliche Kappe auskommt, um den Trinkstutzen abzuknicken, in der abgeknickten Stellung zu halten und damit einen dichten Verschluss zu bewirken.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a drinking cup lid with a drinking spout that does not require an additional cap to bend the drinking spout, hold it in the bent position and thus effect a tight seal.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung durch einen Trinkbecherdeckel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, und zwar insbesondere dadurch , dass der Trinkstutzen in einem an dem Basiselement gelenkig und/oder verschiebbar gelagerten Führungsschlitten gehalten ist, und dass der geknickte Trinkstutzen innerhalb eines durch den Rand umfassten Aufnahmeraums lagerbar ist.This object is achieved according to the present invention by a drinking cup lid with the features of claim 1, in particular in that the drinking neck is held in an articulated and / or displaceably mounted guide slide and that the kinked drinking neck within a through the Edge of the receiving space is storable.
Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, wo der Aufnahmeraum für den Trinkstutzen im Hohlraum unterhalb der Kappe gebildet ist, wird der Aufnahmeraum erfindungsmäß direkt am Basisteil gebildet. Die Sicherung des Trinkstutzens in der abgeknickten Stellung wird über den Führungsschlitten bewirkt, welcher sich in der Verriegelungsstellung an der Oberseite des Aufnahmeraums befindet. Dadurch, dass der Trinkstutzen erfindungsgemäß nicht einfach frei von dem Basiselement aufragt, sondern in dem Führungsschlitten mit seinen definierten Lagerpunkten gehalten ist, wird eine definierte Knickstelle erreicht.In contrast to the prior art, where the receiving space for the drinking neck is formed in the cavity below the cap, the receiving space according to the invention is formed directly on the base part. The drinking nozzle is secured in the bent position by means of the guide carriage, which is located in the locking position on the top of the receiving space. A defined kink is achieved in that the drinking neck does not simply protrude freely from the base element, but is held in the guide carriage with its defined bearing points.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist zudem vorgesehen, dass der Führungsschlitten in Bezug auf die Position der Auslauföffnung im Basiselement so angeordnet ist, dass eine doppelte Abknickung erfolgt. Es bildet sich somit im Querschnitt gesehen eine S-förmig geschlängelte Konfiguration des Trinkstutzens, sodass der innenliegende Trinkkanal sogar an zwei Stellen abgesperrt ist und eine zuverlässige Absperrung erreicht wird.In a preferred embodiment it is also provided that the guide carriage is arranged in relation to the position of the outlet opening in the base element in such a way that a double kink occurs. Seen in cross-section, an S-shaped meandering configuration of the drinking neck is formed, so that the internal drinking channel is even shut off at two points and a reliable shut-off is achieved.
Erfindungswesentlich ist auch das Zusammenspiel zwischen der Position des Führungsschlittens und der Elastizität des Trinkstutzens. Der Führungsschlitten wird mit dem Daumen herabgedrückt, kippt nach vorn und nimmt dabei den Trinkstutzen mit. Beim Übergang in eine eher horizontale Lage gelangen die Gelenkpunkte des Führungsschlittens aufgrund der Führung in einer Schiebekulisse bis in eine Schiene, die eine lineare Rückzugsbewegung erlaubt. Der Benutzer kann also nach dem Herunterdrücken des Trinkstutzens der Führungsschlitten leicht zurückziehen, also radial nach außen, wo der Führungsschlitten an einer Entriegelungstaste blockiert wird und damit auch den abgeknickten Trinkstutzen unten hält. Die verriegelte Stellung des Führungsschlittens wird dadurch gehalten, dass dieser gelenkig gelagert ist und dass die Federkraft des verformten Trinkstutzens den Führungsschlitten fest gegen die Entriegelungstaste drückt.The interplay between the position of the guide carriage and the elasticity of the drinking neck is also essential to the invention. The guide carriage is pressed down with the thumb, tilts forward and takes the drinking spout with it. When transitioning to a more horizontal position, the articulation points of the guide carriage come into a rail due to the guidance in a sliding link, which allows a linear retraction movement. The user can thus pull back slightly after pushing down the drinking neck of the guide carriage, that is to say radially outward, where the guide carriage is blocked by an unlocking button and thus also keeps the bent drinking neck below. The locked position of the guide carriage is held in that it is articulated and that the spring force of the deformed drinking spout presses the guide carriage firmly against the release button.
Um wieder aus der Flasche trinken zu können, braucht der Benutzer lediglich den Führungsschlitten leicht nach vorne zu schieben, sodass er aus dem Eingriff mit der Entriegelungstaste gerät. Mit dem leichten Druck, über welchen die Verriegelung ausgelöst wird, werden auch die Führungsvorsprünge am Führungsschlitten wieder zurück in die Schiebekulisse gedrückt, sodass sich der Führungsschlitten aufrichten kann, bewirkt durch die elastische Rückstellung des Trinkstutzens. Anschließend schiebt der Benutzer erneut den Führungsschlitten nach vorne, wobei der Trinkstutzen abknickt und der Führungsschlitten zurück in seine Sperrstellung bewegt wird.In order to be able to drink from the bottle again, the user only needs to push the guide carriage forward slightly so that it comes out of engagement with the release button. With the slight pressure that releases the lock, the guide projections on the guide carriage are also pushed back into the sliding link, so that the guide carriage can straighten up, caused by the elastic return of the drinking nozzle. The user then pushes the guide carriage forward again, the drinking neck kinking and the guide carriage being moved back into its locked position.
Um eine noch größere Sicherheit gegen unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen und gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Auslaufen des Getränks zu geben, ist vorzugsweise ein Sicherungsschieber vorgesehen, der in eine Position oberhalb des Aufnahmeraums bewegt werden kann, wo er entweder den abgeknickten Trinkstutzen zusätzlich arretiert und/oder den Führungsschlitten sichert, beispielsweise dadurch, dass er eine Rastverbindung mit dem Führungsschlitten ausbildet. Da der Sicherungsschieber nur translatorisch zu bewegen ist, kann ein Kippen des Führungsschlittens solange nicht erfolgen, wie der Führungsschlitten mit dem Sicherungsschieber im Eingriff ist. Der Benutzer muss vielmehr erst den Sicherungsschieber in die Außenposition bringen, um den Führungsschlitten und den Trinkstutzen überhaupt bewegen zu können und muss dann die bereits oben beschriebene Entriegelungstaste auslösen, um den Führungsschlitten freizugeben.In order to provide even greater security against unintentional opening and against unintentional leakage of the beverage, a safety slide is preferably provided which can be moved into a position above the receiving space, where it either locks the angled drinking spout and / or secures the guide carriage, for example, in that it forms a latching connection with the guide carriage. Since the safety slide can only be moved translationally, the guide slide cannot tilt as long as the guide slide engages with the safety slide. Rather, the user must first bring the safety slide into the outer position in order to be able to move the guide carriage and the drinking spout at all, and must then trigger the release button already described above to release the guide carriage.
Vorteilhaft bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Trinkbecherdeckel ist also die Verknüpfung einer Schwenkbewegung des Führungsschlittens, um ihn in die liegende Stellung zu bringen, in welcher der Trinkstutzen abgeklemmt wird, und einer anschließenden radialen Verschiebung nach außen zwecks Sicherung. Durch diese Kombination wird eine selbstsichernde Transportstellung eingenommen, die auch nur durch eine radiale Verschiebung wieder aufgehoben werden kann.It is therefore advantageous in the case of the drinking cup lid according to the invention to link a pivoting movement of the guide carriage in order to bring it into the lying position in which the drinking nozzle is clamped off, and a subsequent radial displacement to the outside for the purpose of securing. This combination assumes a self-locking transport position that can only be canceled by a radial displacement.
Die radiale Verschiebung kann durch den Benutzer selbst durch eine Rückzugsbewegung vorgenommen werden. Vorzugsweise ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass der Führungsschlitten mit einer Gleitkante oder Gleitfläche an einer Führungskulisse abgleitet, wenn der Benutzer den Führungsschlitten nach unten schwenkt. Diese Zwangsführung wird erreicht, wenn der Führungsschlitten bis etwas unter die Transportstellung gedrückt wird. Dann wird der Führungsschlitten in einer geneigten Lage, bei der seine äußere, hintere Auflagekante leicht angehoben ist, soweit nach außen geschoben, dass die Auflagekante oberhalb einer Auflagefläche liegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer lediglich den Führungsschlitten herabdrücken muss, um die Sicherung herzustellen. Lässt der Benutzer ihn los, legen sich die Flächen aneinander an und die Transportstellung ist gesichert.The radial displacement can be carried out by the user himself by a withdrawal movement. However, it is preferably provided that the guide carriage slides on a guide link with a sliding edge or sliding surface, when the user swings the guide carriage down. This positive guidance is achieved when the guide carriage is pressed slightly below the transport position. Then the guide carriage in an inclined position, in which its outer, rear support edge is slightly raised, is pushed outwards so far that the support edge lies above a support surface. This has the advantage that the user only has to push the guide carriage down in order to make the securing. When the user releases it, the surfaces line up and the transport position is secured.
Damit der Benutzer beim Verschließen nicht zwei verschiedenartige Bewegungen durchführen muss, sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform noch wenigstens ein zusätzliches Federelement vor, das auf Lagerzapfen an der Außenseite des Führungsschlittens wirkt. Der Benutzer muss den Führungsschlitten mit dem Trinkstutzen dann nur herunterschwenken. Die notwendige Rückzugsbewegung zur Herstellung der Verriegelung wird über die Federelemente erreicht, die den Führungsschlitten linear in die Sperrstellung zurückschieben.So that the user does not have to perform two different movements when closing, a preferred embodiment also provides at least one additional spring element which acts on bearing journals on the outside of the guide carriage. The user then only has to swivel the guide slide with the drinking neck down. The necessary retraction movement to produce the lock is achieved via the spring elements that linearly push the guide carriage back into the locked position.

Der Führungsschlitten 30 kann trotz Freigabe durch den Sicherungsschieber noch nicht selbsttätig hochschnellen, da er noch über eine kurze Distanz formschlüssig mit dem Gehäuse 10 gekoppelt ist, so dass er zwar in radialer Richtung verschiebbar ist, aber sich noch nicht um seine Lagerzapfen drehen kann. Um diese Zwischenstellung zu überwinden wird der Führungsschlitten 30 über leichten Druck auf die Entriegelungstaste 50 radial nach vorn, in Richtung des Zentrums, geschoben und ist damit an seinem hinteren Ende frei, wie

Das Druckfederelement 25' bei dem Trinkbecherdeckel 100' bzw. das Druckfederelement 50" bei dem Trinkbecherdeckel 100' erleichtert zum einen den Schließvorgang, da der Benutzer nur noch den Führungsschlitten 30 mit dem Trinkstutzen nach unten drücken muss, den Führungsschlitten aber nicht aktiv bis in die verriegelte Stellung zurückziehen muss. Zum anderen bremst es das Hochschnellen des Führungsschlittens 30 mit dem Trinkstutzen, weil der Benutzer über einen längeren Weg des Führungsschlittens 30 seinen Finger darauf aufliegen lassen muss, um diesen gegen die Kraft des Druckfederelements zu verschieben. Dadurch dämpft der Benutzer automatisch den sich aufrichtenden Führungsschlitten ab. Bei der zweiten Ausführungsform des Trinkbecherdeckel 100' bremst zusätzlich die Reibung zwischen dem Lagerzapfen 31 und dem elastomeren Druckfederelement 25' die Bewegung.
