Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with a mouth section and a closure cap which is removably fastened to the container and has cooperating latching elements, the mouth section having a circumferential projection and a ring which is connected circumferentially to the lateral surface via a tear-off skin.
  • a large number of variants of containers and closures which have a tamper-evident closure and/or a child safety device are disclosed in the prior art. These can be implemented in various ways, e.g. with the help of partially circumferential cams and with tear-off strips. It is often necessary for such a container to seal the contents from the environment in the original, not yet opened state. Furthermore, a desiccant may need to be included inside the container to protect moisture-sensitive contents.
  • the U.S. 5,398,829 shows an arrangement of an attachment that is placed on a container and a cap attached thereto. Before the closing part of the cap can be removed, a tear-off strip must be removed, which is a sign of originality. Furthermore, the closure cap must be brought into a specific position relative to the attachment in order to be able to remove it. This mechanism represents a child safety device.
  • More childproof lids are available from the US5938054A , the DE 19712364 A1 , the DE 69202489 T2 , the EP 0217630 A2 and the US4573599A known.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore in particular to create a container which has an original seal and which, in the originally closed state, is essentially impervious to liquid vapour, in particular water vapour.
  • a container of the type mentioned in the introduction in which the tear-off skin is in contact with the first projection, the container having a second, preferably circumferential, projection and the ring having a projection on its inner side, the second projection of the container and the projection of the ring are designed as second latching elements and are in a latching connection with one another.
  • the container accordingly has an opening and a mouth section which extends essentially cylindrically starting from the opening.
  • a closure cap which closes the opening in a closed position and can be removed from the opening, is provided on the container and has a substantially cylindrical lateral surface, which at least partially encloses the mouth section in the closed position. The lateral surface preferably completely encloses the mouth section in the circumferential direction.
  • First interacting latching elements are provided on an inner surface of the lateral surface of the closure cap and on an outer surface of the mouth section, so that in the closed position the closure cap and container are reliably connected to one another, and the closure cap, for example when rotating out of the intended use position of the container, in which the opening in up in the vertical direction, to an inverted position with the container opening down, the closure cap being held on the container.
  • These first interacting locking elements can, for example, a Represent a child-resistant mechanism or part of a child-resistant mechanism of the container closure cap.
  • a first circumferential projection is provided below the first interacting latching elements in the mouth section of the container.
  • a ring is also provided, the upper edge of which is connected circumferentially to the lateral surface via a tear-off skin.
  • the ring is designed in particular in such a way that the closure cap cannot be removed from the container without opening or breaking open the ring; i.e. the ring is designed in particular as a tamper-evident closure.
  • the tear-off skin is in contact with the first projection in a closed position. The tear-off skin is thus at the same time a sealing skin which, in contact with the first projection, provides a sealing effect against moisture entering the container.
  • the tear-off skin is preferably in circumferential contact with the first projection.
  • the first projection can, for example, also serve as protection against manipulation of the closure cap of the container with a tool. In particular, it can prevent a pointed object from being driven under the lateral surface of the cover.
  • the container to have a second, preferably circumferential, projection and for the ring to have a projection on its inside, with the two projections being designed as second latching elements and being in a latching connection with one another.
  • these second latching elements can prevent the closure cap from being removed and/or twisted as long as the tear-off skin is intact.
  • one or both of the projections are circumferential and are in a snap-in connection with one another in such a way that axial movement relative to the essentially cylindrical mouth section is prevented.
  • This latching connection can also have a sealing effect and/or an additional seal can be provided between the second latching elements.
  • it can preferably be provided that the ring itself protrudes below the second projection of the container in the closed state.
  • the second latching elements are preferably connected under a tensile force acting essentially in the longitudinal direction of the container.
  • the tear skin is under tension such that the tear skin is pressed against the first projection, thereby improving the seal between the tear skin and the projection.
  • the ring has a predetermined breaking point.
  • the ring can thus serve in particular as an originality closure which can be torn open at the predetermined breaking point and subsequently separated from the closure cap by tearing the tear-off skin.
  • the predetermined breaking point is preferably designed as a thinning of the material.
  • the ring can therefore also serve as a seal, as it is tight all the way around.
  • the ring preferably has a grip element. This is shaped in such a way that pulling on it breaks the ring at the predetermined breaking point and tears the tear-off skin so that the ring is separated from the closure cap.
  • the gripping element is preferably located in the vicinity of the predetermined breaking point. More preferably, it has an inscription and/or a symbol, such as an arrow, indicating the direction in which to pull to separate the ring from the closure cap.
  • the first interacting latching elements are designed as an outwardly projecting snap bead on the mouth section and as an inwardly projecting snap bead on the lateral surface.
  • the snap-in bead in the mouth section essentially runs around the container apart from an opening section.
  • the snap-in bead on the lateral surface is divided into at least one holding bead and one opening bead, and the snap-in bead is interrupted between these two beads, with the opening bead being smaller than the opening section.
  • the opening bead on the opening portion is aligned, the opening bead can be moved through the opening section when pulled in the direction of the opening of the container.
  • the retaining bead extends essentially over half or a fraction smaller than half of the circumference of the lateral surface. More preferably, this half is approximately opposite the opening bead.
  • the retaining bead preferably has one or more interruptions, one interruption being located, for example, in the middle of the retaining bead. Such an arrangement makes it easier to remove the ring when it has been rotated into the appropriate position, since the opening bead is not prevented from being pulled through the opening portion by the retaining bead, and subsequently an elastic deformation of the closure cap allows the retaining bead to be pulled over the to pull the outwardly protruding snap bead of the muzzle area.
  • the container advantageously has an indicator which shows the position of the opening section on the mouth section side.
  • this indicator can be in the form of an engraving, a bulge, knurling in sections and/or inscription.
  • the extent of the indicator can correspond approximately to that of the opening section and/or be aligned with it in the radial direction.
  • the closure cap it is also advantageous for the closure cap to have an opening tab on an outer surface, which is essentially aligned with the opening bead in the radial direction.
  • a combination of the features of the indicator and the opening tab which can however also be designed independently of one another, makes it easier to align the opening bead on the opening section.
  • the opening tab can be designed, for example, as a ramp whose extent in the radial direction, for example, in can correspond approximately to the expansion of the opening bead.
  • the side of the lower elevation of the ramp is preferably that which is closer to the lower edge of the closure cap.
  • the opening tab is particularly preferably located directly above the lower edge of the closure cap. All of these embodiments also make it easier to remove the closure cap, since the opening bead can be pulled through the opening section by pulling/pressing on the opening tab when the opening bead is aligned with the opening section and/or the closure cap is elastically deformed in such a way that the retaining bead slides over the opening section outwardly projecting snap bead of the muzzle area can be pulled.
  • the closure cap has a holder on the side facing the container in the closed position, which holder can be used, for example, to hold a desiccant.
  • the desiccant can already be attached to or in the closure cap before the closure cap is placed on the container.
  • a separate work step for introducing the desiccant into the container is therefore not necessary.
  • the holder is particularly preferably designed as a holder for a desiccant tablet. More preferably, the desiccant tablet comprises a silica gel or a molecular sieve-based desiccant.
  • the desiccant can be used, among other things, to extend the shelf life of the contents of the container.
  • the holder for holding a desiccant tablet is designed in the shape of a cylinder and has a preferably circumferential holding element in which the desiccant tablet can be accommodated. This simplifies the production process, since the desiccant tablet can simply be pushed into the holder after the closure cap has been manufactured and the desiccant tablet is preferably peripheral, in the form of a hook-shaped latching element, trained holding element is held.
  • the outer surface of the lateral surface of the closure cap has knurling.
  • the knurling can encompass part of the outer surface of the closure cap or run around it all the way around, over part of the height of the closure cap or over the entire height of the closure cap.
  • a large number of other deviations in shape can also be provided, which simplify the handling of the closure cap.
  • the knurling can be designed as a groove or serrated profile, with the grooves/tines advantageously running parallel to an axial direction of the lateral surface.
  • the inner surface of the lateral surface of the closure cap can advantageously have a substantially circumferential sealing cam and the mouth section can have a sealing surface, with the sealing cam and the sealing surface are in contact.
  • the closure cap and the ring are injection molded from one part and thus have the same material and/or the closure cap and/or the ring are made of a softer plastic, in particular a plastic with a lower Shore hardness, for example a lower Shore A hardness or Shore D hardness than the container.
  • the cap and/or the ring preferably consist of polyethylene and/or an aromatic and/or aliphatic copolyester, for example ECOFlex® or ECOVia® from BASF SE.
  • the container also preferably consists of polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene furanoate (PEF) and/or polyactide (PLA), particularly preferably polypropylene (PP) and/or high density polyethylene (HDPE). Furthermore, it is advantageous if the tear-off skin is thinner than 0.8 mm, particularly preferably between 0.1 and 0.5 mm thick.
  • the closure cap and the ring are suitable for being pushed onto the container in one production step, and this causes a pretension between the container and the closure cap, the ring and the tear-off skin.
  • This can be achieved, for example, in that some or all of the projections, parts or all of the first latching elements, the snap-in beads of the mouth section and/or the lateral surface and/or the sealing cam are ramp-shaped in the push-on direction.
  • the prestress serves in particular to produce or reinforce the sealing effect.
  • the invention described herein is particularly suitable for storing medicines, but should not remain restricted to this area of use.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the container 1 with a closure cap 3 attached thereto and a ring 5 connected to the closure cap.
  • the container 1 is designed here as a cylinder. On its mouth section 10, which is at least partially covered here, see eg 3 , the sealing cap 3 and the ring 5 are seated.
  • the closure cap 3 has an outer surface 30 .
  • the upper edge 50 of the ring 5 is peripherally connected to the lateral surface 30 via a tear-off skin 4 .
  • the lateral surface 30 has knurling 31 and an opening tab 32 .
  • the ring 5 has a predetermined breaking point 52 and, in the vicinity thereof, a handle element 51, which also has a marking in the form of an arrow indicating the preferred direction of pull.
  • a predetermined breaking point 52 is designed as a tapered material 53 .
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 show an embodiment of the container 1 with the mouth portion 10 and an opening 9.
  • an indicator 16 indicates the position of the opening portion 12 .
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show the closure cap 3 and the ring 5 from a frontal view, with the lateral surface 30 of the closure cap 3 being connected to the upper edge 50 of the ring 5 via a tear-off skin 7 . Also visible are the opening tab 32, the handle element 51, the predetermined breaking point 52, which is designed as a material taper 53, and the knurling 31.
  • the sealing cap 3 and the ring 5 are 8 and 9 from obliquely below and in 10 in section through plane B (cf. 6 ) shown.
  • the first latching elements on the lateral surface side of the closure cap are designed as an inwardly projecting snap-on bead 34, which is divided into an opening bead 35 and a retaining bead 36.
  • the retaining bead 36 is larger than the opening bead 35 and extends approximately over half the circumference of the lateral surface 30 opposite the opening bead 35, see also 12 , wherein the retaining bead 36 has an interruption 37.
  • the closure cap 3 has a holder 38, for example for a desiccant tablet, on its side 4 facing the container 1 in the closed position. Furthermore, the closure cap 3 has a sealing cam 39 which is formed above the first latching elements 33 . Furthermore, the ring has a projection 54 on its inside, which is in a latching connection with the second, preferably circumferential projection 15 of the container in the closed state before the ring 5 is torn off.
  • 11 and 12 show the closure cap 3, with the ring 5, not shown, being torn off.
  • the first latching elements 33 on the lateral surface side can be seen, which are designed as a snap-on bead 34 projecting inwards, which consists of an opening bead 35 and a retaining bead 36 .
  • the retaining bead 36 is larger than the opening bead 35 and extends approximately over half the circumference of the lateral surface 30 which is opposite the opening bead 35 .
  • the retaining bead 36 has an interruption 37 .
  • 13 and 14 show again an embodiment of the container 1 and the closure cap 3 fastened on the container 1, from which the ring 5 has already been separated.
  • the closure cap 3 has the opening tab 32 and the container 1 has the indicator 16 .
  • the closure cap 3 is in a position relative to the container 1 in which the closure cap 3 cannot be removed from the container 1.
  • the closure cap 3 is in a position relative to the container 1 in which the opening tab 32 is aligned with the indicator 16 and the closure cap 3 can thus be removed from the container 1.
  • the container 15 shows an embodiment of the container 1 with the closure cap 3 and the ring 5 in a section along the plane A (cf. 1 ).
  • the container has the snap bead 11 with the interruption 37, the first projection 13, the second projection 15, the indicator 16, the sealing surface 14 and a holder 38.
  • the essentially cylindrical holder 38 has a holding element 40 in the form of a circumferential hook-shaped latching element. A desiccant in tablet form can thus be simply inserted into the holder 38 in which it is then reliably secured via the holding element 40 .
  • the closure cap 3 has an outer surface 30 with a sealing cam 39 which rests on the sealing surface 14 .
