Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1 and a shrink film according to the preamble of claims 24 and 25 and also a set of a first and second shrink film according to claim 29.
  • closure caps which are held captive on the container and close the pouring opening.
  • the holding function is also important insofar as legal provisions are to be expected which will oblige closures of beverage bottles to be captively connected to the beverage bottle even when they are open.
  • the Revelation of US 3,951,292A discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1. It relates to a label on a sealed bottle including a tamper evident feature.
  • the neck label includes a secondary closure in the form of a sleeve of shrinkable oriented thermoplastic material shrunk snugly over the bottle and its closure rim.
  • the label stock is pre-printed in a web and rolled up as a supply, with the roll width representing the label height.
  • the label stock is scored at a partial depth of its thickness extending longitudinally along a line located at a predetermined height in the final label and folded transversely at spaced intervals therealong. The pleats are spaced such that a predetermined number of them in each are cut from stock Label blank appears.
  • Label blanks are cut to length, wrapped into an annular sleeve shape so that the trailing end of the blank overlaps the leading end and the overlapped ends are joined at an axial seam.
  • the sleeves are placed over the neck and skirt of a sealed bottle so that the line of weakness in the material is adjacent the bottom edge of the skirt.
  • a further object is to be able to retrofit existing containers with a closure cap with the function that the closure cap is captively held on the container after it has been unscrewed.
  • Another object is to show a captive closure cap which does not impede any use of the container to be closed.
  • the invention is preferably characterized in that the first area and the second area of the first shrink film are connected with a retaining strap.
  • the function of holding the closure cap on the container neck after the closure cap has been unscrewed from the container neck is therefore taken over by the first shrink film.
  • Any commercially available container with a closure cap, in particular any bottle with a closure cap can therefore be retrofitted with the first shrink film, as a result of which the closure cap is held captive on the container neck.
  • Containers and bottles therefore do not have to be supplemented with additional features which allow the closure cap to be captively held on the container neck but which also increase production costs.
  • a shrink film for covering containers is in any case widespread, since the shrink film can be printed on and thus fulfills a label function.
  • Shrink films are known from the prior art, the perforation of which tears when the closure cap is unscrewed, thereby indicating that the container has been opened for the first time.
  • a shrink film is to be understood as meaning a plastic film which shrinks under the action of heat and assumes the shape of the container body and the closure cap onto which it is shrunk.
  • Such a shrink film is also referred to as a "sleeve”.
  • the shrink film is mostly tubular and printable. The printability of the shrink film means that it can also be used as a label.
  • the retaining strap is formed from the first shrink film or the first area, the second area and the retaining strap are formed in one piece. As a result, all parts that are held captive of the closure cap on the container neck are formed from commercially available shrink film. It would also be conceivable for the retaining strap to be attached to the first and second area, for example glued on.
  • the retaining strap has a first end which is permanently connected to the first area of the first shrink film and has a second end which is permanently connected to the second area of the first shrink film. This ensures the holding function by which the unscrewed closure cap is held on the container neck.
  • the retaining strap is expediently long enough so that the closure cap can be transferred from a closed position, in which the closure cap is screwed onto the container neck, to an open position, in which the closure cap releases the pouring opening and, with the retaining strap on the second area, can be moved to the first Shrink film is held.
  • the retaining strap does not interfere with unscrewing the cap.
  • the tether may be long enough for the user to hold the container body and the closure cap in one hand at the same time.
  • the cap does not interfere with the use of the container.
  • the closure cap does not protrude into the product flow when the product is poured out.
  • the retaining strap is formed in that the first shrink film has first perforations arranged next to one another at the transition from the first area to the second area and first webs in between, which perforations run around the container neck area in the circumferential direction, wherein when the closure cap is unscrewed from break the first webs on the container neck and the retaining strap is detached from the first shrink film.
  • the retaining strap is therefore created automatically by twisting the closure cap in the opening direction.
  • the length of the retaining strap can be determined by the number and length of the perforations and webs. In addition, if at least one bar breaks, it indicates that the closure cap has been twisted in the opening direction and is no longer originally sealed.
  • the sum of the length of the first perforations arranged next to one another and the length of the first webs has a length which is twice the length of the retaining strap. Since the retaining strap can be detached from the first shrink film, it must have first perforations and webs on its upper and lower longitudinal edge. Preferably, the pitches of the first perforations and first ridges are equal along the circumferential direction of the container neck.
  • the distance between first perforations lying one above the other corresponds to the width of the retaining strap.
  • the distance along the tether will be constant. It is also conceivable, however, for the distances between perforations lying one above the other to vary. This makes it possible to design the retaining strap to be more stable at particularly stressed points, for example at the first or second end.
  • the first perforations are arranged in a spiral on the first shrink film, and the retaining strap therefore has the shape of a spiral in the open position, which is formed from the first shrink film.
  • the tether must be longer than a single circumference of the container finish so that the tether does not prevent the closure cap from unscrewing. Due to the spiral arrangement of the first perforations, it is possible to give the strap any length. It is expedient to give the retaining strap an optimized length which best allows user-friendly operation of the container.
  • the invention is also preferably characterized in that the first shrink film has the function of an opening indicator, in that the first webs break when the closure cap is opened for the first time.
  • the first shrink film has the function of an opening indicator, in that the first webs break when the closure cap is opened for the first time.
  • the first shrink film is free of perforations arranged next to one another and ridges in between, and the first and second areas of the first shrink film are only covered by the first and second end of the closure cap before the cap is opened for the first time tether connected to each other.
  • the retaining strap is already formed on the first shrink film before it is opened for the first time and is not detached from the first shrink film when it is twisted.
  • a second shrink film is arranged over the first shrink film, which is shrunk onto the closure cap with a third area and at least onto the container neck area with a fourth area.
  • the required tasks can be divided between the first and the second shrink film in this embodiment.
  • the first shrink film fulfills the holding function of the unscrewed cap.
  • the second shrink wrap holds and protects the first shrink wrap. In particular, it protects the tether.
  • the second shrink film serves as an indicator of whether the container is originally sealed or not.
  • the retaining strap has a first section which extends from the first end in the axial direction along the container neck and has a second section adjoining the first section which extends in the circumferential direction along the container neck region to the second end.
  • the second section can also be easily pulled out from under the second shrink film, since the second section lies in the area of the second perforations and is not held, or only slightly, by the second shrink film.
  • a retaining strap arranged obliquely on the container neck is also conceivable. The less steep the retaining strap is arranged between the first and the second area, the longer it is.
  • the tether makes sense to give the tether a shape and length so that the container is user-friendly and at the same time the tether can be produced with little effort. It is preferably cut out of the first shrink film. However, it is also conceivable that it is fastened between the first and second area, for example by being glued on with its first and second end.
  • the second shrink film has the function of an opening indicator, in that the second shrink film has second perforations arranged next to one another and second webs in between, and the second webs break when the closure cap is opened for the first time.
  • Such Shrink films are known from the prior art and their display function is therefore mature.
  • a combination with a first shrink film and the associated reliable solution to the task is surprising.
  • the second perforations are arranged in a circle on the second shrink film and after the closure cap has been unscrewed, the third area is separated from the fourth area by breaking the second webs. As a result, the closure cap is only held on the retaining strap after it has been unscrewed.
  • the container body has a shoulder area and a jacket area adjoining the shoulder area, and the fourth area of the second shrink film encloses at least the shoulder area and optionally the shoulder area and the jacket area. This allows the fourth area to reliably hold the second area.
  • the fourth area can fulfill a label function.
  • the container body expediently has a shoulder area and a jacket area adjoining the shoulder area, and the second area of the first shrink film encloses at least the shoulder area and optionally the shoulder area and the jacket area.
  • the second portion is held sufficiently firmly to the container body even if there is no fourth portion.
  • the second area can also assume the function of a label.
  • the second region has third perforations and third webs lying between them.
  • the third perforations are provided in the second area in such a way that they connect to the second end of the retaining strap.
  • the first shrink film has a fifth region which is shrunk onto the container body and under the second shrink film at the lower end of the fourth region of the second shrink film is arranged on the container body, wherein a third end of a securing band is permanently connected to the second area and a fourth end is permanently connected to the fifth area.
  • the securing band allows the fourth section of the second shrink film to be easily torn open along the entire height of the fourth section by pulling the tether away from the container body. Nevertheless, the closure cap is still held on the container body, since it is connected to the fifth area via the retaining strap and the securing strap.
  • the fifth area is preferably designed as a ring.
  • the safety strap is preferably a linear extension of the retaining strap.
  • the second shrink film has fourth perforations and fourth webs in between, which extend from the upper edge to the lower edge of the fourth area, with the securing strip being arranged under the fourth perforations.
  • the fourth webs can be torn off in a targeted manner using the safety strap, since the safety strap is arranged directly under the fourth webs.
  • the securing band is therefore preferably covered by the second shrink film or the fourth webs.
  • the fourth webs can be broken particularly easily by pulling the security band away from the container body.
  • the ruptured fourth portion will detach itself from the container body and can be disposed of separately therefrom.
  • a support ring is formed on the container neck and the second area has at least one diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the support ring.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a first shrink film in the form of a tube, the shrink film having first perforations arranged next to one another at the transition from the first area to the second area and first webs in between, which first perforations are arranged spirally in the circumferential direction on the shrink film and when unscrewing the Closure cap can break the first webs of the container neck and thereby a retaining strap in the form of a spiral from the shrink film can be detached.
  • the first embodiment of the first shrink film which has already been described above, can be shrunk onto containers and preferably onto bottles with the closure cap screwed on. As a result, almost every container can be supplemented by the shrink film with a holding function, by means of which the unscrewed closure cap is held captive on the container neck.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a first shrink film in the form of a tube, the shrink film being free of perforations and the first region and the second region of the shrink film being connected only to a first and a second end, respectively, of a retaining strap.
  • the second embodiment of the first shrink film already described above can also be shrunk onto containers and preferably onto bottles with a screwed-on closure cap and makes it possible for the closure cap to be held captive on the container neck after it has been unscrewed.
  • the retaining strap is already formed on the shrink film and is not removed from the shrink film by twisting after it has been shrunk onto the container.
  • the retaining strap is formed from the first shrink film or the first area, the second area and the retaining strap are formed in one piece, with the retaining strap having a first section which extends from the first end in the axial direction of the container neck and has a second section adjoining the first section, which extends in the circumferential direction along the container neck region to the second end. Since the second section is located at the open edge of the third area of the second shrink film, the second section can be easily pulled out from between the closure cap and the third area. As a result, the retaining strap does not prevent the cap from being unscrewed. The longer the second section is, the greater the distance between the container neck and the unscrewed closure cap can be.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a set consisting of the first shrink film, which is free of perforations, and a second shrink film, which can be shrunk onto the closure cap with a third area and at least onto the container neck area with a fourth area, and the second shrink film has perforations arranged next to one another and intervening webs, wherein the second perforations are arranged in a circle on the second shrink film and after the closure cap has been unscrewed, the third area can be separated from the fourth area by breaking the second webs.
  • the second shrink film can be shrunk onto the container and the closure cap over the first shrink film.
  • the second shrink film fulfills the function of indicating whether the closure cap has already been opened or not.
  • the set can be shrunk onto almost any container or almost any bottle with a cap, which means that the cap is held captive on the neck of the container after it has been unscrewed.
  • the holding function of the unscrewed closure cap can therefore also be retrofitted to containers in which the covering with a second shrink film is provided from the outset by the provision of the first shrink film in the second embodiment. For example, because labeling and/or an opening indication is required on the container.
  • a container is shown, which is denoted by the reference numeral 11 as a whole.

  • the fourth perforations or webs extend from the upper edge to the lower edge of the fourth area 63 , with the securing strip 77 preferably being arranged under the fourth webs 85 .
  • the fourth webs 85 therefore cover the securing band 77 .
  • the operation of the third embodiment is shown.
  • the closure cap 17 After the closure cap 17 has been unscrewed, it is held on the container neck 15 by the retaining strap 47 according to the second embodiment.
  • This can be done particularly easily by providing the securing band 77: by pulling the retaining band 47 away from the container body 13, the third webs 73 break.
  • the fourth webs 85 break due to the pull of the securing band 77 and the fourth area 61 is torn open along its entire height and can be disposed of separately.
  • the closure cap 17 is still held on the container body 13 since it hangs on the retaining strap 47 and the securing strap 77 .
