Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlusskappe aus Kunststoff für den Ausgießstutzen eines Behälters mit von der Mantelaußenfläche der Kappe insbesondere radial abstehenden Flügeln, die auf diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten an der Kappe befestigt sind, wobei jeder Flügel von dem der Kappe nahem Befestigungsbereich in einen weiter außen anschließenden, der Betätigung von Hand dienenden Betätigungsbereich übergeht.The invention relates to a closure cap made of plastic for the pouring spout of a container with wings which protrude in particular radially from the outer surface of the cap and are fastened to the cap on diametrically opposite sides, wherein each wing passes from the fastening area close to the cap into an actuating area further outwards which serves for manual actuation.

WO 2007/002292 und WO 2015/114084 A1 beschreiben eine Verschlusskappe, an der als Griffflächen zwei Flügel auf diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Kappe außen radial vorstehen. Bei schwergängigem Gewinde, klemmendem Halt oder zum Brechen einer Originalitätssicherung ist oft eine solch hohe Drehkraft auf die Verschlusskappe von Hand aufzubringen, dass es zu einem Verbiegen oder Abbrechen der Griffflächen kommen kann. WO 2007/002292 and WO 2015/114084 A1 describe a closure cap on which two wings protrude radially on diametrically opposite sides of the cap as gripping surfaces. In the case of a stiff thread, a jammed hold or to break a tamper-evident seal, such a high torque must often be applied to the closure cap by hand that the gripping surfaces can become bent or broken off.

Aufgabe der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1 ist es, eine Verschlusskappe der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, dass sie bei einfacher Konstruktion eine hohe Festigkeit und Steifigkeit aufweist. Hierbei sollte die Verschlusskappe eine gute Griffigkeit und ein angenehmes Greifgefühl bieten.The object of the invention according to claim 1 is to improve a closure cap of the type mentioned at the outset so that it has a high level of strength and rigidity with a simple construction. The closure cap should offer a good grip and a pleasant feeling when gripping.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Befestigungsbereiche beider Flügel zu beiden Seiten einer durch die Kappendrehachse verlaufenden, mittigen Ebene drehsymmetrisch zur Kappendrehachse angeordnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the fastening areas of both wings are arranged on both sides of a central plane running through the cap rotation axis in a rotationally symmetrical manner to the cap rotation axis.

Durch eine solche seitliche Anordnung der Befestigungsbereiche zur mittigen Ebene wird eine hohe Festigkeit der Flügel an der Verschlusskappe geschaffen, so dass über die Flügel von Hand hohe Drehkräfte auf die Verschlusskappe aufbringbar sind, ohne die Flügel wesentlich zu verformen oder abzubrechen. Auch wird eine angenehme Handhabung geboten.Such a lateral arrangement of the fastening areas to the central plane creates a high level of strength for the wings on the closure cap, so that high torques can be applied to the closure cap by hand via the wings without significantly deforming or breaking the wings. It also offers comfortable handling.

Diese Vorteile werden noch verbessert, wenn der Befestigungsbereich jedes Flügels beim Betrachten der Mantelaußenfläche der Kappe senkrecht zur Kappendrehachse von einem konkaven der Kappe entfernterem Biegungsbereich in einen konvexen, der Kappe näheren Biegungsbereich übergeht, wobei der konvexe Biegungsbereich sich an die konvexe Mantelaußenfläche der Kappe anschmiegt und/oder in die konvexe Mantelaußenfläche der Kappe stetig übergeht.These advantages are further improved if the fastening region of each wing, when viewed at the outer surface of the cap perpendicular to the cap rotation axis, transitions from a concave bending region further away from the cap to a convex bending region closer to the cap, wherein the convex bending region conforms to the convex outer surface of the cap and/or transitions continuously into the convex outer surface of the cap.

Die Festigkeit der Flügel an der Verschlusskappe wird noch erhöht, wenn an der Mantelaußenfläche der Kappe mindestens eine Strebe oder Zunge vorsteht, deren äußeres Ende an eine Flügelaußenfläche angeformt ist. Hierbei wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Strebe oder Zunge als Hohlform ausgebildet ist, deren Hohlraum sich zur Rückseite des Flügels öffnet. Eine solche Hohlform verringert Gewicht und Materialaufwand der Verschlusskappe und bietet als Fingermulde eine angenehme Griffigkeit. Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass Rippe, Strebe oder Zunge sich in ihrer Ausführungsform auf den konkaven Flügel-Befestigungsbereich beschränken oder sich darüber hinaus in den senkrechten Betätigungsbereich erstrecken.The strength of the wings on the closure cap is increased even further if at least one strut or tongue protrudes from the outer surface of the cap, the outer end of which is molded onto the outer surface of the wing. It is proposed that the strut or tongue be designed as a hollow shape, the cavity of which opens towards the back of the wing. Such a hollow shape reduces the weight and material required for the closure cap and offers a pleasant grip as a finger recess. It is also proposed that the rib, strut or tongue be limited in their design to the concave wing attachment area or extend beyond it into the vertical operating area.

Zu den beiden Betätigungsbereichen der Flügel wird als mögliche Ausführungen vorgeschlagen

  • dass sie in einer mittigen Ebene liegen, in der die Kappendrehachse liegt,
  • dass sie derart gewölbt sind, dass ein Querschnitt durch den Betätigungsbereich quer zu seiner Längserstreckung eine Wölbung bildet,
  • dass sie in ihrer Längserstreckung gewölbt sind,
  • dass sie parallel und in einem seitlichen Abstand zur mittigen Ebene angeordnet sind.
The following are suggested as possible designs for the two operating areas of the wings:
  • that they lie in a central plane in which the cap rotation axis lies,
  • that they are curved in such a way that a cross-section through the operating area forms a curvature transverse to its longitudinal extension,
  • that they are curved in their longitudinal extension,
  • that they are arranged parallel and at a lateral distance from the central plane.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Verschlusskappe auf einem Ausgießstutzen eines Behälters über ein Gewinde befestigt ist und dass die Verschlusskappe über eine Originalitätssicherung mit dem Ausgießstutzen eines Behälters verbunden ist.It is further proposed that the closure cap is attached to a pouring spout of a container via a thread and that the closure cap is connected to the pouring spout of a container via a tamper-evident device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe 1 ist im Spritzguss aus Kunststoff hergestellt mit einem zylindrischen Mantel, der einen Innenraum umgibt, der an seiner Oberseite verschlossen ist, so dass die Verschlusskappe mit ihrem Innengewinde auf das Außengewinde eines Ausgießstutzens eines Behälters aufgeschraubt werden kann. Hierbei besteht zwischen dem unteren Ende der Verschlusskappe 1 und dem Verschlusskappensitz des Ausgießstutzens eine Originalitätssicherung 11, die beim erstmaligen Aufschrauben der Verschlusskappe 1 aufbricht und hierdurch anzeigt, ob der Verschluss schon einmal geöffnet worden ist.The closure cap 1 according to the invention is made of plastic by injection molding with a cylindrical shell that surrounds an interior that is closed at the top so that the closure cap can be screwed with its internal thread onto the external thread of a pouring spout of a container. There is an authenticity lock 11 between the lower end of the closure cap 1 and the closure cap seat of the pouring spout, which breaks open when the closure cap 1 is screwed on for the first time and thereby indicates whether the closure has already been opened.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 3 ist am unteren Ende des Ausgießstutzens ein schiffchenförmiges Einschweißteil 12 angeformt, das zwischen die zwei Seitenwände eines beutelförmigen Behälters eingeschweißt wird.In the execution according to Fig.3 A boat-shaped welded part 12 is formed on the lower end of the pouring spout, which is welded between the two side walls of a bag-shaped container.

An der Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Verschlusskappe 1 stehen auf diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Kappe zwei angeformte Flügel 2 radial vor, die bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und 2 in einer senkrechten Ebene 5 liegen, in der auch die senkrechte Drehachse 6 der Kappe 1 liegt. Hierbei stehen die beiden Flügel zu beiden Seiten so weit vor, dass die Verschlusskappe 1 eine solche erhebliche Gesamtbreite aufweist, dass sie von einem Kind nicht verschluckt werden kann.On the outer surface 10 of the closure cap 1, two integrally formed wings 2 protrude radially on diametrically opposite sides of the cap, which in the design according to Fig. 1 and 2 lie in a vertical plane 5 in which the vertical axis of rotation 6 of the cap 1 also lies. The two wings protrude so far on both sides that the closure cap 1 has such a considerable overall width that it cannot be swallowed by a child.

Jede der beiden Flügel 2 ist mit einem Flügel-Befestigungsbereich 3 an der konvexen Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe angeformt, wobei der Befestigungsbereich 3 jedes Flügels beim Betrachten der Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe senkrecht zur Kappendrehachse 6 von einem konkaven der Kappe entfernterem Biegungsbereich a in einen konvexen, der Kappe näheren Biegungsbereich b übergeht, wobei der konvexe Biegungsbereich b sich an die konvexe Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe 1 anschmiegt und/oder in die konvexe Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe stetig übergeht. Der Befestigungsbereich 3 kann damit in einer Ansicht von oben mit seinen zwei Biegungsbereichen a und b als S-förmig bezeichnet werden.Each of the two wings 2 is formed with a wing fastening area 3 on the convex outer surface 10 of the cap, wherein the fastening area 3 of each wing, when viewing the outer surface 10 of the cap perpendicular to the cap rotation axis 6, transitions from a concave bending area a further away from the cap into a convex bending area b closer to the cap, wherein the convex bending area b clings to the convex outer surface 10 of the cap 1 and/or continuously transitions into the convex outer surface 10 of the cap. The fastening area 3 can thus be described as S-shaped in a view from above with its two bending areas a and b.

An den Befestigungsbereich 10 schließt bei beiden Flügeln 2 außen ein insbesondere radialer, flächenförmiger, senkrechter Betätigungsbereich 4 an, der bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und 2 in der senkrechten Ebene 5 liegt. Der Betätigungsbereich 4 kann aber auch parallel zur Ebene 5 versetzt liegen und ferner in seiner Querrichtung und/oder in seiner Längserstreckung gebogen bzw. gewölbt sein. Zwei Arten der Wölbung in Querrichtung sind in der Ausführung nach Fig. 4 und 5 mit S1 und S2 dargestellt.On the outside of both wings 2, the fastening area 10 is adjoined by a particularly radial, flat, vertical actuation area 4, which in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 and 2 in the vertical plane 5. The operating area 4 can also be offset parallel to the plane 5 and can also be curved or arched in its transverse direction and/or in its longitudinal extension. Two types of curvature in the transverse direction are possible in the design according to Fig. 4 and 5 shown with S1 and S2.

Rippe, Strebe oder Zunge 7 können sich in ihrer Ausführungsform auf den konkaven Flügel-Befestigungsbereich 3 beschränken oder sich darüber hinaus in den senkrechten Betätigungsbereich 4 erstrecken. Rippe, Strebe oder Zunge 7 können in ihren Ausführungsformen auch kombiniert werden.The rib, strut or tongue 7 may be limited in their design to the concave wing attachment area 3 or may also be extend into the vertical operating area 4. Rib, strut or tongue 7 can also be combined in their embodiments.

Um die Festigkeit und die Steifigkeit der Befestigung der beiden Flügel 2 an der Kappe 1 zu erhöhen, steht an der Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe mindestens eine Strebe, Zunge oder Rippe 7 vor, die sich nach außen erstreckt und deren äußeres Ende 8 an der Außenfläche eines Flügels angeformt ist. Diese Strebe, Zunge oder Rippe 7 überbrückt den Spalt oder Zwickel 13, der zwischen dem Befestigungsbereich 3 und der Mantelaußenfläche 10 besteht.In order to increase the strength and rigidity of the attachment of the two wings 2 to the cap 1, at least one strut, tongue or rib 7 protrudes from the outer surface 10 of the cap, which extends outwards and whose outer end 8 is formed on the outer surface of a wing. This strut, tongue or rib 7 bridges the gap or gusset 13 that exists between the attachment area 3 and the outer surface 10 of the casing.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 3 ist die Strebe oder Zunge 7 als Hohlform ausgebildet, deren Hohlraum 9 sich zur Rückseite des Flügels 2 öffnet. Ferner kann jeder der zwei Flügel jeweils durch zwei oder mehr Streben, Zungen oder Rippen an der Mantelaußenfläche 10 der Kappe befestigt sein.In the execution according to Fig.3 the strut or tongue 7 is designed as a hollow shape, the cavity 9 of which opens towards the rear of the wing 2. Furthermore, each of the two wings can be attached to the outer surface 10 of the cap by two or more struts, tongues or ribs.
