Definitions
- the invention relates to a bottle, in particular a detergent bottle, with a closure cap and a dosing cup.
- Such a bottle for detergent is known from the prior art.
- the cap has a cap base and a circumferential cap side wall.
- To screw the cap onto an external thread of the bottle neck the cap has an internal thread.
- On the cap or the neck of the bottle can be set up the dosing cup, which is held by a snap connection with the bottle neck in this attached state on the cap.
- the dosing cup should not detach from the bottleneck and possibly be lost. This requires a good attachment of the dosing cup to the bottleneck and / or on the cap. On the other hand, the dosing cup should not be damaged as a result of tipping over or falling over. It has been found that in a very firmly connected to the bottleneck dosing cup increases the risk of damage to the dosing cup. With regard to a safe and easy handling of the bottle thus the consumer is helped neither with a too loosely attached dosing cup still with a too firmly fixed dosing cup.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a bottle with cap and dosing cup, with a simple and safe handling is possible.
- the web has a first web segment and at least one second web segment, which is spaced from the first web segment.
- the web is designed as an annular web, as an alternative to a closed ring, a circumference can also be interrupted, so that it is possible to distinguish between the first web segment and the second web segment.
- the web can, for example, also have more than two web segments, for example three, four or x web segments, which are equally distributed in the form of an annular web in an exemplary embodiment on the circumference.
- the first web segment and the second web segment are arranged so that when the bottle with a bottle bottom is on a horizontal base, the first web segment and the second web segment for a fixation of the cap in a horizontal direction (direction and opposite direction).
- the closure cap is arranged between the first web segment and the second web segment.
- the horizontal fixation via a positive connection between the first web segment and closure cap on the one hand and between the second web segment and cap on the other. Said horizontal direction is also called fixation direction below.
- first web segment and the cap side wall may be given a small game in the horizontal direction.
- the lateral contact of the first web segment on the cap side wall of the closure cap can also be connected free of play or even with a small pretension. The same applies mutatis mutandis to the connection between the second web segment and the cap side wall of the cap.
- Embodiments for the first web segment or for components that interact with the first web segment will be described below. These embodiments may relate in an analogous manner also to the second web segment, or if more than two web segments are provided, to one of the remaining web segments or all the remaining web segments. Preferably, the web segments are constructed identically. If it is not possible to distinguish between different web segments in the web, the statements relating to the first web segment apply mutatis mutandis to the entire web.
- the closure cap is essentially a component that is rotationally symmetrical about a longitudinal axis, wherein the circumferential cap side wall is essentially the lateral surface of a cylinder, a cone or a combination thereof.
- a closure cap preferably has the first web segment in the form of a circular arc, which may extend in an angular range of 90 to 180 °.
- the angle range is 1 10 to 140 °.
- a radius associated with the circular arc is preferably slightly larger than half an outer diameter of the closure cap in the vicinity of the cap bottom.
- the first web segment lies over a certain angular range (for example 120 to 130 °) on an outer side of the cap side wall of the closure cap (with play or clearance).
- a height of the first web segment measured from the inside of the cup bottom, is in an embodiment 3 to 15 mm, preferably 5 to 10 mm.
- the height of the first web segment may be substantially constant along a longitudinal extent. At the ends, the height can be reduced, so that the first web segment at its ends expires slowly in terms of its height.
- the first web segment may have rounded or bevelled ends.
- the angular range in which the height is reduced at one end can assume values between 10 and 30 °.
- the first land segment may be spaced from the cap sidewall of the metering cup. In this embodiment, therefore, a gap between the first web segment and an inner side of the cup side wall is given. This has the advantage that a diameter or the basic shape of the cup side wall is independent of the dimensions of the cap.
- the cup bottom of the dosing cup can rest on the cap base of the closure cap.
- a plant in the horizontal direction namely in the fixing direction is given by the interaction of web segments and cap side wall. This is complemented by a system of dosing cup on the locking means on the bottleneck.
- a first locking cam and to offset in the circumferential direction by 180 °, a second locking cam may be arranged, which engage in the attached state of the dosing cup each have an undercut of the bottle neck.
- the locking cams and the undercuts are thus parts of the locking connection.
- the first locking cam and the second locking cam are arranged in the vicinity of a remote from the cup bottom edge of the dosing cup. This edge limits an opening of the dosing cup.
- the first web segment and the first locking cam can be arranged in the same direction in the circumferential direction in a same angular range. They are thus not offset from one another in the circumferential direction. This makes it possible for the dosing cup to be moved or tilted without great opposing forces on the closure cap or on the bottleneck in a plane which extends perpendicular to the horizontal fixing direction.
- a spout is provided with a spout, with an internal thread for screwing onto the external thread of the bottle neck and with an external thread on which the internal thread of the cap can be screwed.
- the pouring aid it is possible to switch between the bottleneck and the cap, the pouring aid.
- the cap is unscrewed from the external thread of the pouring aid, so that the medium located inside the bottle (for example detergent) can flow through the neck of the bottle and through the pouring aid sitting on the bottle neck. If the pouring aid is not needed, it can be unscrewed from the bottleneck. In this case, the cap can be screwed directly to the neck of the bottle.
- a third locking cam and a circumferentially offset by 180 ° fourth locking cam can be arranged, which engage in the attached state of the dosing and screwed pouring a circumferential shoulder of the pouring.
- a locking connection between dosing cup and pouring aid can be made.
- the third locking cam is arranged above or below the first locking cam. Relative to the edge of the dosing cup, the third locking cam is thus less or farther away from the edge than the first locking cam.
- the dosing cup is preferably made of plastic such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).
- the dosing cup is an injection-molded plastic part. Compared with a blow-molded plastic part of the injection molding allows, in particular as regards the design of the web, more design freedom.
- Figure 1 shows a flat surface according to the invention in the side view ( Figure 1A), in a longitudinal section along a line Ib - Ib ( Figure 1 B) and an enlarged detail (Figure 1 C);
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the inventive bottle in the

- FIG. 5 shows a further side view of the metering cup (FIG. 5A) and a sectional view along the line Va-Va (FIG. 5B);
- Figure 6 in section a pouring aid and a cap.
- FIGS 1 and 2 show two embodiments of the bottle according to the invention, each referred to in its entirety by 1.
- the bottle 1 has a bottle body 10, through which a bottle interior is defined.
- the interior is used to hold a pourable or flowable medium such as liquid detergent 2.
- the volume of the bottle interior can be 500 to 2000 ml.
- At an upper end of the bottle body 10 goes into a bottleneck, which is covered in Figure 1A but by a Dosierbecher 20.
- the bottleneck is shown and designated 1 1.
- Parts of the neck of the bottle are also shown in enlarged scale in views 1C and 2C.
- FIG. 1B the detergent 2 present in the interior of the bottle and the wall of the bottle base 10 are represented by a common hatching. This also applies to FIG. 2B.
- a closure cap 40 is arranged between the dosing cup 20 and the bottle neck 11.
- the embodiment of Figure 2 additionally has a pouring aid 50.
- FIG. 6, shows the pouring aid 50 and the cap 40 on a larger scale in a longitudinal section.
- the closure cap 40 has a cup-shaped basic shape with a flat, circular cap base 41 and a cap side wall 42 formed substantially as a circular cylindrical surface which is slightly tapered or frustoconical in a region 43 near the bottom.
- an apron 44 is integrally formed on an outer side in a central region, through which a receiving space 45 with a Internal thread 46 is formed.
- a seal 47 is provided at the closed end of the receiving space 45.
- the pouring aid 50 has a spout 51 and an external thread 52, which in the screwed-together state with the internal thread 46 of the cap 40 is engaged. Below the external thread 52, a receiving space 53 is formed with an internal thread 54 and a seal 55, so that the pouring aid 50, as shown in Figure 2, on the externally threaded bottle neck 1 1 can be screwed sealingly.
- the external thread is designated 12 in FIG. 2C.
- the receiving space 45 and the internal thread 46 of the closure cap 40 are designed such that the closure cap 40 can also be screwed directly onto the external thread 12 of the bottle neck 11. This embodiment without the pouring aid is shown in FIG.
- FIGS. 3 to 5 show different views of the dosing cup 20.
- the dosing cup 20 has an approximately elliptical or oval cup bottom 21 and a circumferential cup side wall 22 which extends between a transition region 23 and a rim 24 at the open end of the dosing cup 20.
- a first web segment 25 and a second web segment 26 are integrally formed.
- the first web segment 25 has a shape of a circular arc which extends in an angular range of approximately 135 ° (see in particular FIG. 4B). It is clear from the combination of FIGS. 4C and 5B that the web segment 25 has a constant height 28 over a central region of the longitudinal extent. This height 28 is not given over the entire length.
- a radius 30 of the web / circular arc 25 is for example 10 to 20 mm, preferably 12 to 18 mm.
- the second web segment 26 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the first web segment 25 with respect to a longitudinal central axis 30 (see FIGS. 5B, 4C). Also in terms of its basic design, the second web segment does not differ from the first web segment.
- the first web segment 25 and the second web segment 26 form a circle which, however, is open in a horizontal direction 31 or has corresponding gaps. However, in a horizontal direction transverse thereto, designated 32, the circle formed by the two web segments is closed.
- the web segments 25, 26 provide a lateral fixation of the dosing bottom 21 with respect to the closure cap 40 in the direction 32.
- the dosing cup 20 can not be moved relative to the closure cap 40.
- a certain mobility between dosing cup 20 and the cap 40 is given.
- a first locking cam 33 is disposed in the vicinity of the edge 24, which forms a latching connection in the attached state of the dosing cup 20 with an undercut 13 on the bottleneck 1 1.
- a second locking cam 34 is provided on the inside of the cup side wall 22, which also forms a latching connection with a corresponding undercut on the bottleneck 1 1.
- a third locking cam 35 on the inside of the cup side wall 22, which has a greater vertical distance to the edge 24 than the first locking cam 33, and arranged offset by 180 ° fourth locking cam 36 at the same height provide a locking connection between the dosing cup 20 and a circumferential shoulder 56 of the pouring 50 (see corresponding embodiment of Figure 2, in particular Figure 2C).
- a bottle is thus provided with an attached dosing cup 20, which on the one hand is firmly fixed on the closure cap 40, but on the other hand has a certain movability with respect to the closure cap, by which damage to the dosing cup 20 can be reduced, for example if the bottle 1 surrounds and thereby falls onto the attached dosing cup.
