Definitions
- the invention relates to a container closure made of plastic according to the preamble of claim 1 and a container with such a container closure according to the preamble of claim 14.
- closures which have a retaining ring and a lid which is pivotably held on the retaining ring with a hinge.
- Such closures are also referred to as flip-top closures and are held on a container neck in order to close and release the pouring opening which the container neck delimits.
- the lid can be moved from a closed position to an open position by means of the joint. In the closed position, the lid latches onto the container neck or the retaining ring so that the contents do not accidentally flow out of the container.
- Such a flip-top closure is known, for example, from WO 2019/192714 A1.
- the retaining ring can be latched to a first ring-shaped projection of the container neck with first retaining means formed on its inner wall and is thus held non-detachably on the container neck.
- a ring-shaped sealing extension is formed on the inside of the lid, which protrudes into the pouring opening in the closed position and closes it with a seal.
- a second annular projection is formed at the open edge of the container neck, which can snap onto second retaining means on the inside of the retaining ring when the lid is in the closed position. As a result, the lid has a snap function in the closed position.
- a further object is that the flip-top closure has a structurally simple snap function.
- first holding means On the inside of the retaining ring there is a first retaining means which is designed in such a way that the container closure can be held on an external thread of the container neck.
- This first holding means has the particular advantage that the container closure according to the invention can be mounted on a container neck with a standard external thread. This means that the container closure can be used for existing bottles with an external thread on existing bottling plants. Thanks to its large product outlet, the container closure allows drinks to be poured out of the container quickly. This also includes milk bottles, for which a flip-top closure is often used.
- the first holding means can be realized by one or more projections.
- the invention is preferably characterized in that a jacket section is formed on the lid, on the inside of which a second holding means is formed, the second holding means being latchable on the external thread of the container neck.
- a snap closure for the cover is implemented in a simple manner.
- the jacket section is bent outwards by the external thread until the second retaining means snaps into the external thread of the container neck.
- the user bends it slightly outwards and then opens it.
- the snap lock prevents in more reliable Show an unintentional opening of the lid.
- the second holding means latches onto a structure which, although it does not follow or correspond to the external thread, is designed in such a way that it does not interfere with the function of the thread
- the first Garmit tel is an internal thread, which can act ogether with the outer thread of the container neck Z.
- the internal thread enables the container closure to be pressed onto the container neck in the bottling plant. It goes without saying that the container closure can also be screwed onto the container neck. It is also conceivable that the geometry of the first holding means can deviate from the standard thread form.
- the recess interrupts the internal thread and the second retaining means supplements the interrupted internal thread as a threaded section.
- the threaded section has the same thread pitch as the external thread. As a result, the threaded section can latch exactly and flush with the external thread.
- the threaded section has the thread pitch of the internal thread, since the pitch of the external thread and the internal thread are usually identical.
- the outer contours of the casing section expediently correspond to the outer contours of the recess. This protects the external thread, since there are no free spaces between the recess and the jacket section. In addition, this embodiment is visually appealing.
- an anti-twist device is designed on the retaining ring. As a result, the container closure can no longer be removed after it has been mounted on the container neck for the first time. A manipulation of the container contents is therefore reliably prevented. In addition, the anti-twist device ensures that the container closure is captively held on the container, which means that future regulations relating to environmental protection are met.
- the anti-twist device is expediently realized by at least one retaining lug formed on the lower edge of the retaining ring.
- the retaining lug has a ramp and a step adjoining the ramp. Using the ramp, the retaining lug can be pushed over the corresponding projections on the container neck in the screwing direction. Unscrewing is prevented because the stage can not overcome the projections on the container neck.
- the hinge is realized by at least one holding web which connects the facing edges of the holding ring and the cover.
- the holding web can be designed as a film hinge at each of its ends, so that it acts as a double joint. As a result, the edge of the lid is spaced from the retaining ring by the length of the retaining web in the open position. This is particularly beneficial for the hook described below.
- the invention is also preferably characterized in that a hook is formed next to the hinge on the retaining ring, with which the lid latches in the open position.
- Two hinges are preferably provided, which are spaced apart from the hook. The edge of the lid can be pulled over the hook thanks to the double joint. In the open position, the lid latches onto the hook. Therefore, both in the closed position and in the open position, there is a snap function that holds the lid in a defined position.
- a sealing element with a sealing edge for sealing the container neck in the closed position is expediently present on the inside of the lid.
- the sealing element can be what is known as a “cone sealer” which, thanks to its truncated cone-shaped wall, makes it possible to seal against the container neck.
- a tongue is formed on the sealing edge in the area of the hinge, which increases the height of the sealing element in the area of the hinge. In a half-open position of the lid, the tongue lies against the edge of the container neck. As a result, a further open position of the cover is realized. It proves to be expedient if the mutually facing edges of the Hal terings and the lid are connected to one another by predetermined breaking webs which break when the lid is opened for the first time. The predetermined breaking webs indicate the opening of the lid by being broken, as a result of which the container closure has the function of a guarantee closure.
- a further aspect of the invention relates to a container which comprises the container closure described above. Because the first retaining means snaps into place on the external thread in the closed position and the cover snaps into place on the hook in the open position, the double snap function described above is made possible.
- FIG. 1 a first side view of a container closure
- FIG. 2 a second side view of the container closure from FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 a third side view of the container closure from FIG. 1
- FIG. 4 a first sectional illustration of the container closure
- FIG. 5 a second sectional illustration of the container closure
- FIG. 6 a third sectional illustration of the container closure
- FIG. 7 a first axonometric view of the container closure
- FIG. 8 a second axonometric view of the container closure
- Figure 9 an axonometric sectional view of the container closure and
- FIG. 10 a detail of an axonometric sectional view of the container closure mounted on a container neck.
- FIGS. Figure 10 shows that the container closure 10 can be mounted or screwed onto the container neck 13 of a container 15 .
- the container neck 15 transitions into a container body 17 .
- the container closure 11 comprises a retaining ring 19 and a cover 21.
- the retaining ring 19 borders a first filling material outlet 23 through which the filling material can flow out of the container 15 in order to empty it.
- the cover 21 is connected to the retaining ring 19 in an articulated manner by means of a hinge 25 .
- the lid 21 can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position by means of the hinge 25 . In the closed position the cover 21 closes the first filling material outlet 23 and in the open position this is released by the cover 21 .
- the cover 21 also closes and releases the second filling material outlet 27 (FIG. 10), which is bordered by the container neck 13.
- the diameter of the first filling material outlet 23 is slightly larger than the diameter of the second filling material outlet 27. This allows the filling material to be emptied quickly from the container.
- a first retaining means preferably in the form of an internal thread 29 , is formed on the inside of the retaining ring 19 .
- the internal thread 29 interacts with an external thread 31 formed on the outside of the container neck 13, as a result of which the retaining ring 19 is held on the container neck 13.
- the container closure 11 can therefore be screwed or pressed onto the container neck 13 .
- V er gleiches that the lid 21 locked in the VerInstitutposiüon and in the open position or snaps.
- a jacket section 33 is formed on the cover 21, which can also be regarded as a tongue. So that the jacket section 33 has room in the closed position of the cover 21, a recess 35 is provided on the retaining ring 19, in which the jacket section 33 is accommodated.
- the outer contours of the recess 35 and the jacket section 33 essentially correspond to one another.
- a second holding means in the form of a threaded section 37 is formed on the inside of the jacket section.
- the internal thread 29 is necessarily interrupted in the region of the recess 35 and is supplemented by the threaded section 37 when the Lid 21 is in the closed position. It is preferred if the threaded portion 37 has the same pitch as the internal thread.
- the threaded portion 37 can engage exactly on the external thread 31 since the external thread 31 also has the same thread pitch.
- the cover 21 When the cover 21 is closed, the jacket section 33 is bent outwards slightly by the external thread 31 until it snaps into place on the external thread 31 .
- the cover 21 can only be pivoted to open when the user bends the jacket section outwards. So that the container closure 11 satisfies future regulations relating to environmental protection, it is held captive on the container 15 . This is achieved by means of an anti-rotation lock, for example in the form of at least one first retaining lug 39a and one further retaining lug 39b.
- the retaining lugs 39a, 39b are arranged on the lower edge 45 of the retaining ring 19.
- the retaining lugs 39a, 39b have a ramp 41 and a step 43. As a result, the retaining lugs 39a, 39b can be held over projections on the container neck (in the
- the hinge is realized by a first and second holding web 25a, 25b.
- a hook 47 is formed on the retaining ring 19 between the two retaining webs 25a, 25b.
- the cover 21 can latch or snap into place on the hook 47 and is thereby held in a clear open position.
- an edge 49 is formed on the cover 21, which protrudes beyond the cover 21. This edge 49 can latch onto the hook 47 in a defined manner.
- a sealing element 51 with a sealing edge 53 is formed on the inside of the cover 21 for reliable sealing of the first and second filling material outlet 23 , 27 .
- the sealing element 51 can be realized in that the cover 21 is turned partially inwards. This is a conversion of the sealing element 51 that is gentle on the material.
- the sealing edge 53 rests on the inside of the container neck 13 .
- a tongue 55 is formed on the sealing edge 53 (FIGS. 5 and 6).
- the tongue 55 is formed in the area of the hinge 25 on the sealing edge 53 and increases the height of the sealing element 51.
- the tongue 55 can provide a further open position in which the tongue rests on the open edge of the container neck 13. In this further open position, the cover 21 is not open as wide as in the open position in which it is locked on the hook 47 .
- the edges of the retaining ring 19 and the cover 21 facing one another are connected to one another by predetermined breaking webs 57 .
- the predetermined breaking webs 57 break when the cover 21 is opened for the first time and thereby indicate that the cover 21 has already been opened.
