Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container closure for closing a container according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a container with such a container closure according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • Closure caps are known from the prior art in the field of plastic closure caps with a guarantee ring, which are captive on the container and close its pouring opening. There are also such closure caps are known which have two straps which connect a threaded part of the closure cap with a guarantee ring of the closure cap. The two retaining straps can act as a hinge around which the threaded part can be folded away from the guarantee ring or from the container to be closed.
  • Such a closure cap is known from EP 2 308 772 A1.
  • the retaining straps are C-shaped and each have a weakening at their center of curvature at which the retaining strap can be bent.
  • the Hal teb stands together as a hinge for the threaded part.
  • a protruding piece is formed which protrudes downward. In the unfolded position of the threaded part, the protruding piece comes into contact with the retaining ring of the container neck, which retaining ring holds the guarantee ring on the container neck.
  • the protruding piece holds the threaded part in the unfolded position and prevents the threaded part from being a hindrance when a product contained in the container is poured out.
  • the threaded part is a hindrance because it is in the way of the user.
  • US 2018/0370701 A1 discloses a closure cap which also has two retaining straps. However, the ends of the retaining straps are alternately connected to the Ga rantiering and the open edge of the threaded part, that is, the ends of the retaining straps, which are connected to the open edge of the threaded part and to the guarantee ring, alternate. This gives the threaded part a certain stability when it is held in the open position on the bottle neck.
  • the threaded part can with its upper side or its cylindrical side wall rest against the bottle neck.
  • a captive closure cap there are a plurality of open positions for the threaded part. Without instructions, the user therefore does not recognize in which of the possible open positions he should transfer the threaded part in order to be able to pour product from the bottle through the threaded part as unhindered as possible.
  • the invention is characterized in that the first, second, third and fourth ends are arranged one after the other in the circumferential direction on the free edge or on the guarantee ring and that the length of the first and the second retaining strap is between 27% and 32% and preferably corresponds to between 29% and 30% of the outer diameter of the screw cap.
  • the consecutive arrangement of the first, second, third and fourth ends and the precisely coordinated length of the straps allow the screw cap to surprisingly rotate independently with its inside upwards when it is unscrewed when it is pushed away from the bottle neck and jumps in the direction of the support ring. With its free edge, the screw cap can be fixed under the support ring in the corner formed by the bottle neck and support ring. Snapping in below the support ring is intuitive for the user of the container closure.
  • the inside of the cap is oriented upwards in the open position. This means that any remaining product remains in the screw cap and cannot contaminate the outside of the container. Accordingly, it is preferred if the lengths of the first and second retaining strips enable the screw cap to be latched with its free edge in the open position on the underside of a support ring formed below the container neck.
  • the retaining straps have a joint function, by means of which the screw cap is oriented with the inside upwards after unscrewing and is positioned under the support ring. The open position therefore arises automatically and no instructions are required for the correct use of the container closure.
  • the first and second retaining straps are preferably of the same length.
  • a first and a second kink is provided on the first and on the second holding band at the second and fourth ends. These kinks make it easier to pivot the retaining straps outwards, which improves their joint function.
  • a first and second recess for receiving the first and second retaining band is provided on the edge of the guarantee ring facing the first and second retaining band.
  • the first and second retaining straps can be formed from the guarantee ring in a space-saving manner and without additional material expenditure.
  • the first and second retaining straps can be cut out of the guarantee ring or shaped during the manufacturing process of the closure cap.
  • the provision of the retaining straps does not increase the height of the guarantee ring and no additional material expenditure is necessary.
  • An extension is expediently formed between the second end and the second recess on the guarantee ring.
  • the extension keeps the guarantee ring sufficiently stable, although the first and second recesses are provided on this.
  • a third recess is provided on the guarantee ring between the second end and the second recess.
  • the third recess is preferably V-shaped and improves the joint function of the first retaining strap.
  • the second and fourth ends enclose an opening angle of at least 60 degrees and at most 90 degrees and preferably of at least 70 and at most 80 degrees with respect to the center of the screw cap as the apex.
  • the first and second retaining straps have a spacing from one another which enables the functions described above together with the retaining strap lengths. It is preferred if the predetermined breaking webs are arranged at regular intervals along the free edge. The guarantee ring is therefore held in a sufficiently stable manner on the screw cap so that the container closure can be bounced onto the container neck. The screw cap can also be unscrewed with even force thanks to the even spacing of the predetermined breaking bars.
  • an inwardly protruding inner cone e.g. in the form of a sealing cylinder or a sealing ring
  • the closure cap can therefore act as a so-called “cone sealer” and reliably seals the bottle neck.
  • a “liner” can also be used for sealing.
  • the first and second retaining straps have a width between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm and preferably a width between 1.8 mm and 2.2 mm. This dimensioning ensures that the retaining straps do not tear off unintentionally, especially if the predetermined breaking webs are torn off.
  • the guarantee ring is not too high and can be joined together to form a seal using standardized container necks with external threads. It is preferred if the retaining straps have a cross-sectional area of 1 mm 2 .
  • the invention is also characterized in that the closure cap is designed to interact with a standardized container neck with an external thread and retaining ring.
  • the closure cap can therefore be placed on standardized container necks, in particular on PET beverage bottles. Containers which are joined together with the closure cap according to the invention therefore do not have to be specially adapted to the closure cap.
  • the closure cap is expediently made of a plastic material, preferably HDPE (high density polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene).
  • the closure cap can therefore be made with standard plastic materials, from which known closure caps with a guarantee ring are also made.
  • the screw cap, the guarantee ring, the retaining straps and the predetermined breaking webs are made in one piece.
  • the container closure can be produced in an injection mold without the need for further processing steps in order to form the first and second retaining straps.
  • the inner cone is preferably also produced in one piece together with the other parts of the container closure.
  • the guarantee ring has slots distributed over the circumference with an upper edge and a lower edge, the upper edge being formed by an arcuate section of the guarantee ring and the lower edge being formed by a wall section inclined inward in the radial direction and the lower edge of each slot forms the projections, whereby engagement means are formed for a positive engagement with the retaining ring.
  • the engagement means in the form of the inwardly inclined wall sections are not completely present on the guarantee ring and there are also slots, the shape of which further reduces the use of material, the material requirement for plastic can be significantly reduced by up to 5%.
  • the Wandab section is immovable inward in the radial direction, whereby the guarantee ring is held on the retaining ring and can only be pulled over this when the guarantee ring is stretched along its circumference.
  • the guarantee ring is held on the retaining ring by the wall sections in such a way that the predetermined breaking webs reliably tear before the retaining of the wall sections is overcome.
  • the wall sections are flexible or movable.
  • the wall sections can be removed from the injection mold or the injection molding tool with little effort.
  • the application force for bouncing open the container closure is significantly reduced compared to the prior art.
  • a stretching of the guarantee ring, which can lead to permanent damage to the container closure, is largely prevented during demolding and bouncing.
  • a projection is formed on the guarantee ring below the first and second recess.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a container having a container body, a container neck adjoining the container body, an external thread formed on the container neck and a support ring formed at the transition from the container neck to the container body, the length of the first and second retaining straps corresponds to between 28% and 32% and preferably between 29% and 31% of the outside diameter of the support ring.
  • the screw cap can be locked with its free end on the underside of the support ring.
  • the screw cap is locked with its free edge in the open position on the underside of the support ring.
  • the length of the retaining straps and their joint function make it possible for the screw cap to pivot automatically in the direction of the support ring when it is pushed away from the bottle neck and can be jammed there.
  • the screw cap in the open position is oriented with its free edge in the direction of the pouring opening. After opening the product residues, such as sugar-containing lemonade, remain in the open position in the screw cap and therefore cannot contaminate or stick the container neck.

It is preferred if the first and second arms 19a, 19b have a width between 1.8 mm and 2.2 mm, or have a width which corresponds to at least 15% of the height of the guarantee ring, so that they are sufficiently stable. It is preferred if the retaining straps 19a, 19b have a cross-sectional area of 1 mm 2 . According to FIG. 1, the screw cap 15 is in a closed position in which it is pressed or screwed onto the container neck 29.
  • the first and second retaining straps 19a, 19b are pulled upward in the axial direction (FIG. 2).

In the open position, the inside of the cap points upwards, as a result of which filling material adhering to the screw cap 15 remains in the latter and cannot contaminate the container neck 29. This is a great advantage, especially with beverages containing sugar, since these cannot glue the container body together.
  • the first and second retaining straps 19a, 19b make it possible for the screw cap 15, after it has been unscrewed from the container neck 29, to be moved into the open position in a forced folding movement.
