Definitions
- the invention relates to a plastic closure of a tubular
- Outlet connector of a container with a closure cap which is releasably fastened in particular via a thread on the connector, the cap being permanently connected to the connector via a retaining strap.
- the object of the invention is to improve a closure of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with simple construction and handling, the screwed-on cap is held securely on the container even if the thread between the cap and the outlet connection has a greater angle of rotation.
- this object is achieved in that, when the neck axis is vertical, the retaining strap is attached to the neck with a first lower end and from there runs upwards with a first strap area to the side of the cap, and when the cap is closed, it has a bend in the upper area to allow for a second band area to run down again to its second lower end, which is fixed to the cap.
- Such a construction leads to a retaining strap of greater length, so that the thread can have a large angle of rotation to open the cap. Production, construction and handling are particularly simple here.
- the two strip areas run parallel to one another over a large part of their lengths. It is also advantageous if the two band areas with part of their lengths parallel to the
- An arbitrarily large opening angle can be achieved if the first end of the retaining strap connected to the socket is fixed to a ring that is coaxial to the socket axis and rotatably mounted on the socket, so that the ring rotates with the cap.
- the first opening of the lock can be displayed
- tearable web is connected to the cap
- the tape has a tearable web with the cap or a
- a particularly secure hold of the cap on the container is achieved if a retaining strap is arranged on both sides of the cap diametrically opposite one another.
- a slight opening rotation of the cap is necessary if the cap is attached to the socket via a bayonet connection (bayonet connection) and if the thread between the cap and the socket is so steep that the cap is removed from the socket after turning the cap by 90 to 180 degrees solves.
- the cap is easy to grip if the cap has laterally protruding, wing-shaped gripping surfaces at its upper end.
- the retaining strap is in a protected position if, in the closed state, the retaining strap with its upper bent area clings to the underside of the wing-shaped gripping surface.
- a protected and visually attractive position of the retaining strap is achieved when the retaining strap clings to the outer contour of the cap.
- one band area or both band areas of the retaining band be in an outwardly opening recess or groove of the cap
- a boat-shaped weld-in part be molded onto the lower end of the connecting piece for pouch packaging.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment with a closed cap with handle wings and a retaining strap
- Fig. 2 shows the first embodiment with the cap open with handle wings and a
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment with a closed cap without a handle and two retaining straps
- a liquid receiving container made of plastic has on his
- Cap 2 made of plastic has two wing-shaped gripping surfaces 2a, 2b molded onto it, which protrude beyond the cap on diametrically opposite sides.
- the cap 2 is connected to the connecting piece 1 via a retaining strap 4.
- the retaining strap has two
- the second band area 4b is attached or molded via a bend (bent over point) 4c, the lower end of which is fixed to the cap 2, as shown in FIG.
- the two band areas 4a, 4b form a loop projecting vertically upwards with two band areas 4a, 4b running parallel to one another over most of their length, which also run parallel to the socket axis 8.
- the holding strap 4 with its upper bent area 4c nestles against the underside of the wing-shaped gripping surface 2a, 2b, the gripping surface 2b having a recess on its underside into which the bend 4c protrudes.
- the retaining band 4 thus hugs the outside of the cap 2.
- a band area 4b or both band areas 4a, 4b of the retaining band are located in an outwardly opening recess or groove of the cap 2, so that the retaining band against
- the lock has a guarantee function. This is either
- the retaining strap 4 is connected between its ends via at least one tearable web with the cap 2, or
- the retaining strap is connected to the cap or a cap grip surface 2b via a tearable web 6, or
- the two band areas 4a, 4b are connected to one another by at least one tearable web 7.
- the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 in that a vertically arranged folded tape 4 with two superimposed tape areas 4a, 4b is fastened on both diametrically opposite sides of the connector 1 and the cap 2.
- the cap 2 is held captive on the outlet connector 1 even more securely.
- the cap does not have any protruding gripping surface.
- the cap 2 is not connected to the connecting piece 1 via a thread, but rather via a bayonet connection (bayonet connection). Furthermore, a boat-shaped weld-in part 7 can be molded onto the lower end of the nozzle 1 for pouch packaging.
