Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a captive closure, consisting of a screw cap, which has at least one cylindrical cap casing with an internal thread and a circumferential guarantee band at the lower, open end of the cap casing, the guarantee band being connected to the lower edge of the cap casing via at least one easily tearable line of weakness , wherein the tamper-evident tape remains tied to the cap jacket after tearing along the lines of weakness via retaining straps.
  • the present invention also relates to a combination of a container neck with an external thread and a corresponding screw cap.
  • Plastic products and corresponding plastic waste in particular in the form of so-called microplastics, which are formed from abrasion and decay from plastic waste, are increasingly the focus of public attention.
  • the screw closures to which the present invention relates are also made of plastic, typically of polyethylene or of polypropylene.
  • the deposit system which has also been introduced for single-use plastic bottles, does reduce the number of plastic bottles accumulating in the residual waste, which are instead recycled; however, this does not prevent the caps of the bottles from being screwed back onto the bottle after emptying, but instead being disposed of separately or thrown away and thus entering the environment in an uncontrolled manner and, for example, on the banks and beaches into the sea.
  • the so-called guarantee tapes which are connected to the lower edge of a cap jacket via weak points, remain underneath a so-called pilfer proof ring on the bottle neck and already form a captive part of the closure.
  • a pilfer proof ring is typically a ring-shaped projection running around under a bottle neck thread with an essentially flat or slightly conical underside, behind which protruding radially inward projections or parts of a guarantee band, so that the guarantee band is held in place by the pilfer proof ring when a screw cap is unscrewed while the Tear weak points between the guarantee band and the cap casing.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of designing an adjustable screw cap with a guarantee band in such a way that the screw cap after unscrewing and loosening from the neck of the bottle into a position which does not disturb the further use of the bottle and the drinking or pouring out of the bottle folded away or tilted and can remain there without additional measures.
  • the screw cap is also referred to here briefly as “cap”.
  • retaining straps are formed by two weakening lines which are interrupted at least once in the circumferential direction and which are axially spaced from one another and partially overlap each other in the circumferential direction, interruption sections of both weakening lines being bridged axially by the respective other weakening line.
  • the weakening lines can be made by cuts or can also be produced by dividing lines with webs already formed in the injection molding tool.
  • the aforementioned interruption sections of the weakening lines are referred to below as “separating webs”.
  • the dividing web of the upper weakening line effectively forms an axial extension of the cylindrical cap shell that is limited to a peripheral sector.
  • the separating web of the lower weakening line forms an axial extension of a lower guarantee band section which is held stationary on the bottle neck.
  • the "guarantee band” is understood to mean all sections at the lower edge of a closure cap casing that extend axially below or from the cap thread beyond Levels of the line of weakness lie, which corresponds to the line referred to here as the upper line of weakness.
  • “Axially below” also includes the inward and upward angled section of a so-called flex band, which forms an axial extension of the outer guarantee band section during the manufacture of the closure cap, even if parts of this angled flex band section, when folded up, are on the inside of the cap can extend above the level of the upper weakening line.
  • both dividers are considered part of the guarantee band insofar as they are below the level of the upper weakening line, even if the dividing web of the upper weakening line remains firmly attached to the lower edge of the cap shell and only along the lower weakening line from the parts that are stationary on the bottle neck of the guarantee band releases.
  • This also applies analogously to the straps, which are also below the level of the upper weakening line when the closure is closed, but do not remain in this position when and after opening,
  • the guarantee band defined in this way consists of a part that remains stationary on the bottle neck, which - apart from a rotation - remains immovable relative to the bottle neck, and of moving parts, such as the holding straps and the upper dividing bar, which, when opened, move relative to the bottle neck stationary part and the bottle neck are movable, but remain connected to the stationary part.
  • the separating webs have ends in the circumferential direction which are each connected to one of the ends of the retaining straps over their axial width.
  • the separators have at least the same inner radius as the cap jacket.
  • the lower edge is the free end face of the upper separator pointing axially downwards, while the axial end area of the upper separator comprising the edge is referred to as the “edge”.
  • the circumferentially overlapping portions of the lines of weakness define the retaining straps as between the lines of weakness in the circumferential direction, strip-shaped sections of the guarantee tape.
  • the cylindrical cap jacket with an internal thread defines an axis of the closure, and the bottle neck, onto which a corresponding screw cap is screwed, defines an axis of the bottle neck. When closed, these axes coincide.
  • a sufficient axial distance of the lines of weakness of, for example, at least 2 mm in their overlap area leads to sufficiently strong holding straps which do not tear up to a tensile force of 30 N and generally also up to 40 N.
  • the cap including the guarantee band remains permanently connected to the bottle neck.
  • Each of the two weakening lines expediently has exactly one separating web and the centers of the two separating webs are diametrically opposite one another.
  • the lines of weakness are axially spaced from one another in their overlap areas.
  • the two lines of weakness remain along their entire circumferential extent in the same, but different axial position between the two lines of weakness.
  • the axial position of the lines of weakness can also vary along their course in the circumferential direction, as long as this does not make the retaining straps too narrow and maintain a sufficient tensile strength of at least 30 N to preferably at least 40 N.
  • Such an axial distance is not important in the dividers of the weakening lines and the other weakening line that is not interrupted there could pass into an axial position in this area that otherwise corresponds to the broken weakening line or has an even greater axial distance from it.
  • the upper weakening line defines a dividing line between the lower edge of the cap casing and the guarantee band.
  • the lower weakening line separates the guarantee band along a circumferential section into a lower and an upper guarantee band section, the upper guarantee band section being fixedly connected to the cap jacket in the region of the interruption of the upper weakening line and otherwise defining a section of the dividing line between retaining straps and the lower guarantee band section.
  • the guarantee band is a so-called flex band, which has a first, in the axial extension of the cylindrical cap jacket, outer guarantee band part and a second, from the lower end of the first guarantee band part radially inwardly and upwardly folded guarantee band part, the free, upward-facing part End engaging elements for engagement with the underside of the pilfer proof ring.
  • the terms “above” and “below” are used here as they result from the orientation of the closure placed on the mouth of a vertical bottle.
  • the separation of the guarantee band along the entire length of the weakening lines leads to the fact that in the overlap region of the weakening lines, strip-shaped sections of the guarantee band are produced due to their axial spacing, which are referred to here as holding bands.
  • These retaining straps connect the respective separating webs of the upper and lower weakening lines, these dividing webs in turn forming a connection to the cap jacket or to the first guarantee band part, which is provided for stationary retention on a bottle neck.
  • the separating web of the lower weakening line is one of the factors determining the length of the retaining straps, but has no further function with regard to the stability of the opened cap position.
  • the separator of the upper weakening line (upper separator), on the other hand, depending on the design, contributes significantly to the stabilization of a wide open state of the cap. As far as the "separator” is mentioned below without further identification, this upper separator is therefore always meant.
  • This separating web forms an axial extension of the cap jacket and is firmly connected to it.
  • This separating web in the circumferential direction are each connected to one of the ends of the holding straps, the other end of the holding tapes is each connected to the ends of the lower separating web in the circumferential direction
  • the cap After unscrewing and then folding or folding the screw cap, which remains connected to the bottle neck via the dividers and the retaining straps, the cap comes into a position after a pivoting movement of approx. 90 °, in which the cap swiveled the lower edge of the separating web is moved radially inwards to the bottle neck and the upper edge of the dividing web, directly adjacent to the cap jacket, is moved radially outwards away from the bottle neck.
  • the retaining straps between the two separating webs are thereby twisted and hold the cap or the separating web axially extending the cap in contact with the bottle neck.
  • the lower edge of the separating web or its lower edge is in contact with the bottle neck and forms a pivot point on the bottle neck, which, however, shifts in the axial direction during the pivoting movement on the bottle neck
  • the tamper-evident band initially does not provide any appreciable resistance during the folding movement of the screw cap and the pivoting of the lower edge of the separating web radially towards the bottle neck. Since the retaining straps are connected over their entire width to the ends of the separating web, the sections of the holding tapes which attach directly to the upper end of the separating web are stretched somewhat more than the sections which attach to the lower of the separating web. The axial height of the separating web between the pivot point and the upper attachment of the retaining straps thus forms a lever for the tensile force of the retaining straps, which supports the further opening movement of the cap when the pivot point is at a dead center of approximately 90 °.
  • the cap thereby achieves a stable opening angle of e.g. B. 140 ° with respect to their original position.
  • the straps extend due to the upward movement of the screw cap with the upper separator over the pilferproof ring, which contributes to stretching and tension in the straps.
  • the separator is over a certain peripheral angle of z. B. extends 20 - 60 °, when folding the cap leads to an increase in the distance between the ends of the separator from the bottle neck and thus to a corresponding increase in the tensile force in the because of the arcuate course of the separating web along the circumference and with the radius of the cap jacket Retaining straps that hold the cap in the wide open position by pulling the folded divider on the bottle neck.
  • the straps d. H. the length of the overlap areas of the two lines of weakness, and also the axial height and circumferential length of the separating web, are designed in such a way that an expansion of the bands remains in the elastic range and does not reach the yield point.
  • the elastic restoring forces due to the torsion of these holding straps are relatively low in comparison the force exerted by the straps towards the bottle neck on the upper separator,
  • the folded position of the closure reached after overcoming a dead center remains essentially stable and the screw cap does not move in a disruptive manner in front of or too close to the bottle neck opening.
  • the screw cap does not interfere, especially when drinking from the mouth of the bottle neck, in one embodiment the axis of the cap, which coincides with the axis of the bottle neck in the closed state of the closure, should assume a stable position after opening and folding over to the side it is pivoted by at least 120 degrees, preferably by at least 140 °, with respect to the starting position or with respect to the axis of the bottle neck.
  • the aforementioned parameters can be coordinated in different combinations in such a way that the flip-over movement of the screw cap takes place over a dead center, so that the screw cap as a whole has a bistable position, the screw cap not interfering with access to the bottle neck mouth in the fully open, stable position.
  • Preferred and practically functional values for the above parameters are given below and in the dependent claims.
  • each weakening line has exactly one dividing line and the center points of the dividing lines are diametrically opposite one another.
  • the separator of the lower weakening line which is firmly connected to the rest of the guarantee band, limits in one direction the overlap between the upper and lower weakening lines and the overlapping of the weakening lines determines the length of the retaining straps that the guarantee band remaining on the bottle neck with the screw cap jacket connect.
  • the separating web of the upper weakening line expediently extends over a circumferential angle between 10 ° and 75 °, preferably in the range between 20 “and 60 °.
  • An angle in this area ensures that the separating web is stable in itself and is folded down together with the cap jacket and that not only is the cap jacket bent over in relation to the dividing web when it is opened, but on the other hand this also ensures a sufficient force effect that the folded-over Holds the closure in its fully open position, for which the dividing bridge must have a certain minimum length in the circumferential direction.
  • the separating web of the lower weakening line which is diametrically opposite the dividing web of the upper weakening line, can extend over a circumferential angle between, for example, 120 ° and 200 °, preferably between 170 ° and 190 °, the difference in the circumferential angle of the upper and lower separating webs being the length defines the straps that extend between the remaining part of the guarantee band and the cap jacket.
  • the width of the separating web remaining on the cap jacket should preferably be at least half the width of the total intact, i.e. H. not yet separated along the lines of weakness, guarantee band, so that the torsion of this relatively wide section compared to the rest of the guarantee band causes a corresponding difference in diameter and length between the radially inner, lower edge of the separating web and the upper edge of the dividing web attached to the screw cap.
  • the width (in the intact state) of the separating web remaining on the cap jacket measured in the axial direction should be at least 1.5 mm, preferably at least 2 mm and in particular about 3 mm or more.
  • the wall thickness of the guarantee band is in a range between 0.3 and 0.8 mm, so it is clear that the forces caused in the band by twisting the separating web compared to the rest of the band are caused, among other things, by the different inner and outer radius of the twisted guarantee band sections (consisting of the holding straps and the upper separating web), which is larger the wider the twisted section is.
  • the minimum width of the holding straps measured in the axial direction depends, among other things, on the plastic material actually used and also on the wall thickness of the holding straps.
  • the minimum distance between the lines of weakness, which defines the minimum width of the holding straps should accordingly be greater than 1 mm, preferably greater than 2 mm and in particular greater than 2.3 mm in one embodiment.
  • An upper limit is determined by the width of the guarantee band.
  • the retaining straps which are effectively formed as the sections of the guarantee band running between the dividing lines, then have sufficient tear strength to prevent the screw cap from being torn off forcefully - at least by the hands of children.
  • the retaining straps are preferably tear-resistant up to a tensile force of at least 30 N, preferably at least 40 N.
  • the combination according to the invention of a bottle neck with an external thread and a closure is characterized in that the outside diameter of the bottle neck above a pilfer proof ring, the inside diameter of the guarantee band, as well as the width, the circumferential extent and any thickening of the top Separator are matched to each other so that after loosening and when the screw cap is folded down, the free lower edge of the separator engages with the bottle neck.
  • the straps are twisted a little. When a tilting angle of approx.
  • the cap with the separating web is moved past a dead center, so that the outside of the dividing web then faces the outside of the bottle neck and the screw cap is folded down by more than 90 ° due to a certain tension in the retaining straps Position is stabilized.
  • the tilt or flip angle is defined here as the angle between the axis of the bottle neck (which coincides with the closure axis when the bottle or container neck is closed by the closure) and the closure axis in the folded state.
  • the difference between the outer diameter of the bottle neck in an area above the pilferproof ring, in which the upper separating web of the guarantee band is arranged on the bottle neck after the closure has been opened, should be less than 2.5 mm, preferably at most 1.5 mm, less than that nominal inside diameter of the guarantee band.
  • “No minimum inner diameter” means the inner diameter of the guarantee band without any flexible band section, which in particular also corresponds to the inner diameter of the cap in the area of the upper separating web before the lines of weakness are separated
  • a small difference in diameter ensures that the lower edge of the separator, which is firmly connected to the lower edge of the cap shell and is located above the pilferproof ring after unscrewing the screw cap, engages with the bottle neck at a relatively small angle of tilt and also After the dead center is exceeded, a force caused by this intervention acts between the bottle neck and the separating web, which holds the stabilized screw cap in the wide open position and stabilizes it.
  • the pilferproof ring has a profile which is defined by a lower flank, which extends in an axial section at least 80 ° to the bottle neck axis, an area of maximum diameter and an upper flank, which extends under a tilt angle ⁇ 90 ° relative to the bottle neck axis and below the thread of the bottle neck passes into the outer bottle neck diameter.
  • the upper flank or a section of the bottle neck extends above the upper flank of the profile of the pilferproof ring at least into one or up to an axial position which, when the screw cap is in the maximum folded position, reaches from the lower edge (1 1 a) of the upper separating web becomes.
  • This section has a larger outside diameter than the bottle neck (20) without a thread profile or in the thread root.
  • the difference between the outer diameter of the upper flank or the section above it and the bottle neck diameter without a thread profile, i.e. H. on the thread base, should be at least 0.1 mm, preferably at least 0.3 mm and up to 1 mm in the variant described above.
  • the container neck with screw thread and closure of the pilferproof ring has a triangular profile or a trapezoidal profile, the lower flank of which extends at an angle of 80 ° or more, that is to say perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the axis of the container neck, and the upper flank extends at an angle of about 30 ° or less to the axis of the neck of the container.
  • the flank Due to the small angle of the upper flank, the flank has a large axial extent and the area of a diameter defined by this flank, which is larger than the bottle neck diameter mentioned above, can easily be changed when opening and folding a screw cap from the lower edge of the Spread the divider across the painted area.
  • the cylindrical neck section of the container neck, on which the cylindrical external thread is provided can generally have a slightly larger (about 0.3 - 0.8 mm) larger diameter below the thread and above the pilfer proof ring than what, what leads to an even firmer engagement between the lower edge of the upper separating web and the bottle neck and thus tends to further increase the tilt angle between the bottle neck axis and the axis of the closure
  • the inner radius of the cap shell also has a greater difference to the outer radius of the bottle neck than with a less deep thread, since the inner radius of the cap shell corresponds at least to the radius of the thread root of the screw cap, which in turn is somewhat larger than the outer radius of the bottle neck thread.
  • a further parameter of the closure can be taken into account in order to ensure a sufficiently large and stable flip angle of the closure in the open state, namely the radial thickness of the upper separating web at its lower edge.
  • the separating web of the upper weakening line has a radial thickening at least on its free lower edge.
  • this lower edge (when closed) is thickened radially outwards.
  • This thickening is then after the screw cap is opened and folded over the pilferproof ring on the bottle neck.
  • This thickening on the separating web compensates for at least a part of the radius difference between the bottle neck and the inner radius of the upper dividing web, which, as explained above, is also enlarged because of the deeper thread.
  • the radial thickening is provided on the outside of the separating web and at least at one or two positions in the area of its lower edge. After the cap has been folded down by more than 90 °, the radial thickening lies on the bottle neck or on the upper flank of the pilferproof ring.
  • the radial thickening at the dividing web thus forces the area of the dividing web lying radially inside the thickening, particularly at its lower edge with respect to the bottle neck, radially outwards, which effectively means that the part intended without the thickening of the separating web assumes exactly the same position and angular position as with a smaller radius difference between the bottle neck and the inside of the dividing web.
  • the wall thickness of the separating web is up to 1 mm due to a radial thickening of its lower edge, whereby “thickening” means the radial projection of this area beyond the otherwise cylindrical surface of the guarantee band.
  • thickening With a wall thickness of the remaining guarantee tape of approximately 0.3 to 0.8 mm, this thickening is between 0.2 and 0.7 mm, in particular 0.2 to 0.4 mm. Without this thickening, the wall thickness of the guarantee tape - apart from the lines of weakness - is essentially constant and equal to the wall thickness of the cap jacket.
  • the thickening can also extend over the entire guarantee band section below the separating web, d, h to the lower edge of the guarantee band and in particular also along the entire circumference of a lower guarantee band section below a line, and between the upper and lower weakening lines and at a distance from this lies. This simplifies the manufacture in an injection mold and in particular also the generation of the lower weakening line in comparison to a variant which has a radial thickening which is limited to only a region along the lower edge of the separating web.
  • the radial thickening of the upper separator is particularly noticeable with larger thread depths on the bottle neck beyond 1.3 mm, such as with threads of the widely used standard type PC01881.
  • the thickening has a stabilizing effect on the folded position of the opened cap and holds it Axis of the screw cap in the open state is tilted by more than 120, preferably by more than 140 ° with respect to the bottle neck axis.
  • the closure part below the cap jacket is additionally divided into the elements of the stationary part, holding straps and separating webs
  • both dimensions are in the range of 2 - 3 mm.
  • an axial width of approximately 2-3 mm then also remains for the stationary outer guarantee band section. Any practical variation in the course of the weakening lines along their circumferential extent would therefore also be restricted to an axial area of at most 1 mm width for practical reasons. This would not change the basic function of a closure according to the invention and is therefore not discussed in detail here.
  • the stationary part also forms a flexible band with the outer stationary section already described and a part which is folded inwards and upwards and which engages with the pilferproof ring of a bottle neck.
  • the closure is designed for use on an opening neck of a cardboard packaging.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture comprenant un bouchon fileté (10) équipé d'une bande de garantie (3), qui comporte au moins une surface externe de bouchon (2) cylindrique présentant un filetage interne et une bande de garantie périphérique au niveau de l'extrémité ouverte inférieure de la surface externe de bouchon, qui est reliée au bord inférieur de la surface externe de bouchon le long de lignes d'affaiblissement (13, 14) facilement déchirables. La bande de garantie reste reliée de manière non détachable à la surface externe de bouchon, après déchirure le long des lignes d'affaiblissement par l'intermédiaire de bandes de maintien (15, 16). L'objectif de cette invention est de concevoir un bouchon fileté imperdable équipé d'une bande de garantie de manière que le bouchon fileté, après avoir été dévissé et séparé de l'orifice du col de bouteille, puisse être rabattu ou incliné vers une position ne gênant pas une utilisation ultérieure de la bouteille ainsi qu'un versement du contenu de la bouteille ou une consommation à la bouteille, et puisse rester dans cette position sans mesures supplémentaires. À cet effet, les bandes de maintien sont formées par deux lignes d'affaiblissement qui sont rompues dans la direction périphérique respectivement au moins une fois, qui se chevauchent au moins partiellement dans la direction périphérique et s'étendent à une distance axiale l'une de l'autre au moins dans la zone de chevauchement. En outre, les éléments de séparation (11, 12) des deux lignes d'affaiblissement sont reliés par l'autre ligne d'affaiblissement respective, de préférence à une distance axiale.
