Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container and a container closure loading according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- No. 8,752,720 B1 shows a container closure with a securing element which prevents the container closure from being completely removed from the bottle.
- the securing element is rotatably mounted on the container closure, so that the container can be opened and closed. It is not clear whether the container has already been opened.
- a container closure is to be created which is easy to manufacture and preferably makes it possible to determine whether the container has already been opened.
- a container closure for different container such as art or S toffflaschen Kar clay containers can be provided.
- a container closure according to the invention comprises a closure cap with an internal thread for application to a pouring opening with an external thread.
- the container closure also includes a connecting element with a first end and a second end.
- the closure cap is rotatably held at the first end of the connecting element.
- the second end of the connec tion element is rotationally fixed or fixable with respect to the pouring opening.
- the connecting element has at least one first opening for engaging a pin.
- a pin is preferably in engagement with the opening.
- the pin and the opening are preferably designed such that after the pin has been removed from the opening, it can no longer be brought into engagement with the opening.
- the opening narrows conically in the direction of the pin, for example, so that it has a diameter at its end directed towards the pin which is smaller than a largest diameter of the pin.
- the pin can widen ver ver in the direction of the opening, in particular alswei sen a mushroom head-like extension.
- a sawtooth-like configuration is also conceivable, which allows a relative movement between the pin and the opening in only one direction.
- the connecting element enables the closure cap to be held after opening with the connecting element on the container on which the pouring opening is arranged.
- the closure cap is permanently connected to the container.
- this prevents the closure cap from being lost, and on the other hand, it ensures that all elements are disposed of together at the end of their service life, in particular returned for recycling.
- this prevents pollution of the environment, on the other hand, resources can be used multiple times.
- the rotationally fixed arrangement of the second end of the connecting element in relation to the pouring opening ensures that the second end of the connecting element assumes a defined position in relation to the pouring opening. Since the closure cap is rotatably held at the first end of the connecting element, the closure can be opened and closed again. closing cap possible, as the closing cap can be turned.
- the provision of an opening for the engagement of a pin enables the provision of a guarantee seal or a quality seal at the same time. This allows the container to be checked; in particular, the quality seal enables a so-called tamper-evident guarantee. The buyer can thus determine whether the container closure has already been opened or not. If the pin is in engagement with the opening in the closed state, it can be determined immediately whether the container closure has already been opened or not.
- the pouring opening is preferably designed as a circular cylindrical hollow body which has a first opening into an interior of a container and a second opening for dispensing a medium, for example a beverage.
- the pouring opening thus has a wall on or on which the external thread can be formed.
- the second opening for dispensing the medium has a contact element with one or more contact surfaces.
- the contact element in particular the contact surfaces, are designed to come into operative connection with corresponding contact surfaces of the closure cap and to seal the interior of a container from the environment.
- the connecting element can have at least one first joint, the first opening being arranged between the first joint and the first end of the connecting element.
- a hinge enables the closure cap to be opened or folded away easily.
- a partial area of the connecting element in which the first opening is arranged is held at two ends, on the one hand at the first joint, on the other hand at the first end of the connecting element.
- the connecting element can have a second joint and a second opening which is arranged between the first joint and the second joint.
- the first opening and the second opening can preferably be brought to overlap by folding the connecting element.
- a connecting element can be created that, in contrast to a connecting element with only one joint, has a greater length in the unfolded state. Accordingly, an opening area of the closure cap or a pivoting area of the closure cap can be enlarged.
- the overlap enables a pin to simultaneously extend through the first opening and through the second opening and thus secure the first and second openings.
- the joints can, for example, be used as a flat hinge or as a conventional two-part hinge. It is also possible to design the joints only as a flexible, elastic element. Each of the joints can be designed differently, a combination of different designs of the joints is therefore possible.
- the container closure can comprise a molded piece for attaching the container closure to a container, the Benzol ter being in particular a cardboard container.
- the pouring opening can be formed on the molded piece.
- the pin is preferably formed on the fitting.
- the container closure is preferably designed such that the second end of the connecting element is arranged on the molded piece or is formed thereon.
- the arrangement or formation of the second end of the connecting element on the molded piece and in particular the formation of the pouring opening on the molded piece enables the second end of the connecting element to be arranged in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the pouring opening.
- the container closure can be provided as a complete unit with an intact quality seal.
- the shaped piece and the connecting element can be formed in one piece.
- the pin can be formed on the connecting element. This he makes it possible to form the seal of quality on the connecting element itself. Further components or elements that are not part of the connecting element are not necessary. For example, it is conceivable to attach the second end of the connecting elements regardless of the design of a container on the corresponding container. In other words, conventional containers which typically do not have any pegs can be equipped with a container closure as described here.
- This connecting element can have a second joint, where the pin is arranged between the first joint and the second joint.
- Such a configuration makes it possible to create a connecting element which, in contrast to a connecting element with only one joint, has a greater length in the unfolded state. An opening area of the closure cap or a pivoting range of the closure cap can be increased accordingly.
- the pin can have a predetermined breaking point. This predetermined breaking point is destroyed or broken in particular when the container closure is opened.
- the pin can, for example, have the predetermined breaking point below the mushroom-like extension. This predetermined breaking point is destroyed or broken open, in particular when the container closure is opened, and the mushroom head-like extension is severed, the quality seal is broken.
- Tear-off bars are connections between two elements that form a weak point in relation to the elements to which they are attached. So they are dimensioned weaker and form a predetermined breaking point.
- the container closure can be designed such that a ring with which the closure cap is rotatably held is formed at the first end of the connecting element.
- the connecting element can thus be manufactured independently of the closure cap.
- the first end of the connecting element as a ring, the locking cap can be held in a rotatable manner.
- the closure cap can simply be screwed onto or removed from a pouring opening.
- the container closure can be made of a polyolefin, in particular polyethylene or polypropylene or one of their mixtures. Alternatively, it can be made from PET or from PET-G or from PCT-G or from a bioplastic or from a polystyrene blend.
- the material of the container closure can be selected according to the desired properties. In particular, when container closures for carbonated drinks are used, a certain strength of the material is desired.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a container, in particular a beverage container, comprising a container closure as described herein.
- V Closure can offer a full package provided to whoever.
- the second end of the connecting element is connected to the container, that is to say is fixed directly to the container.
- the second end can be fixed directly to the container, for example by means of an adhesive.
- a corresponding surface or a corresponding element is also formed on the container, to which, for example, the second end of the connecting element can be fixed.
- the second end of the connecting element is preferably fixed to the container by means of an ultrasonic welding.
- connection options described here are formed accordingly between the molded piece and the second end of the connecting element.

- the connecting element 203 is connected with a first end 231 to the closure cap 201 and connected with a second end 232 to the molded piece 204.
- the second end 232 and the shaped piece 204 coincide. Accordingly, the second end 232 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner to the pouring opening 202.
- the second end 232 is thus formed in one piece with the molded piece 204.
- a pin 205 is arranged on or on the molded piece 204, which extends through a third opening 237, a second opening 235 (see FIG. 5) as well as through a first opening 233 and thus forms a seal of quality.
- the connecting element 203 is accordingly arranged and designed in such a way that the first opening 233 and the second opening 235 (see FIG. 3) and the third opening 237 (see FIG. 5) are brought into overlap by folding the connecting element 203.
- the connecting element 203 is folded at the joints 234, 236, and 238.
- FIG. 5 shows a top view of the container closure 200 from FIG. 4.
- the ring-shaped configuration of the first end 231 is clearly visible.
- the direction of rotation R in which the closure cap 201 must be turned in order to close the container closure 200 is also shown in FIG to open
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective and partially cut-away view of the container closure 200 according to FIG. 4 in an open position.
- the molded piece 204 is essentially flat and has an underside, not shown here, for fastening on a cardboard container.
- the pouring opening 202 is formed in one piece with the shaped piece 204 and has a wall.
- an external thread is formed which can be brought into engagement with an internal thread which is formed in the closure cap 201.
- the closure cap 201 has already been opened so far that the internal thread and the external thread are separated from one another and the closure cap 201 can be lifted off the pouring opening 202.
- By unscrewing the closure cap 201 in the direction of rotation R a distance between the closure cap 201 and molded piece 204 was created.
- the connecting element 3 has a first joint 234, a second joint 236, a third joint 239 and a fourth joint 238.
- These joints 234, 236, 239 and 38 each connect two subsections of the connecting element 203 to one another.
- the fourth joint 238 connects the second end 232, which in this case corresponds to the molded piece 204, with a third section of the connecting element 203.
- This third section is connected to the second joint 236 with a second section.
- This second section is connected to the first joint 234 with a first section of the connec tion element 203.

- the first opening 233 and the second opening 235 and the third opening 237 can be brought into overlap by folding the joints 234, 236, 238 such that the pin 235 extends through these three openings (see FIG. 4).
- the pin 205 which extends in the closed state through the first opening 233, the second opening 235 and the third opening 237, was removed from these openings, in other words, the Detailab sections of the connecting element 203 with the respective openings were from the pin 205 deducted and the quality seal separated accordingly.
- the pin 205 is a pin 205 with a predetermined breaking point. An element or part of the pin 205 is torn off by pulling off at least one of the openings 233, 235, 237 from the pin 205.
- the closure cap 201 is still connected to the molded piece 204 via the connecting element 203 and is thus held captive on the molded piece 204.
- the molded piece 204 is arranged on a cardboard container that holds a drink and is connected to it.
- the first end 231 of the connecting element 203 is designed as a ring.
- This ring is rotatably held in a corresponding groove on the closure cap 201. Accordingly, the closure cap 201 can be rotated in the ring.
- the pin 205 is designed with a predetermined breaking point, the element to be torn off / broken off already being removed in the illustration according to FIG. 6 and correspondingly is not shown. Although this configuration does not prevent the openings 233, 235 from being reapplied to the peg 205, it is immediately apparent that the seal of quality has been broken and the container closure 200 has been opened accordingly.
- the pin 205 can, however, also be designed like the pin 5 (see FIG. 3).
