Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlusskappenanordnung zur Anordnung auf einer Ausgabeöffnung eines Gefäßes, wobei die Verschlusskappenanordnung einen mehrteiligen Aufbau aufweist, umfassend eine Steckkappe und einen als Hülse ausgebildeten Kragen zur Anordnung auf der Ausgabeöffnung, wobei die Steckkappe eine in einer Hüllkappe aufgenommene Innenkappe aufweist, die über ein Verbindungselement mit der Hüllkappe verbunden ist.The present invention relates to a closure cap arrangement for arrangement on a dispensing opening of a vessel, wherein the closure cap arrangement has a multi-part structure, comprising a plug-in cap and a collar designed as a sleeve for arrangement on the dispensing opening, wherein the plug-in cap has an inner cap accommodated in an outer cap, which over a connecting element is connected to the enveloping cap.
Eine Verschlusskappenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art ist etwa aus der
Obwohl sich diese bekannte Lösung im praktischen Gebrauch der Stecckappe sehr bewährt hat, hat sich hinsichtlich einer möglichst universellen Verwendung einer derartigen Steckkappe, also insbesondere etwa unabhängig von den Abmessungen einer gegebenenfalls von der Stecckappe abzudeckenden, in die Gefäßöffnung eingesetzten Dosierpumpeneinrichtung, herausgestellt, dass es aufgrund des funktionsbedingt notwendigen lediglich geringen Übermaßes des Innendurchmessers der Innenkappe gegenüber dem Außendurchmesser des Kragens als Voraussetzung für eine Rastwirkung des Federnockens zu Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der in die Ausgabeöffnung einsetzbaren Dosierpumpeneinrichtungen kommen kann.Although this known solution has proven very effective in the practical use of the plug-in cap, it has proven itself in terms of the most universal possible use of such a plug-in cap, i.e. in particular Regardless of the dimensions of a metering pump device inserted into the vessel opening, which may be covered by the plug-in cap, it has been shown that due to the functionally necessary only small excess of the inner diameter of the inner cap compared to the outer diameter of the collar as a prerequisite for a locking effect of the spring cam, there are restrictions with regard to the in the Dosing pump devices that can be used in the dispensing opening can come.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verschlusskappenanordnung mit einer Steckkappe vorzuschlagen, bei der derartige Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der Verwendung von Dosierpumpeneinrichtungen in Kombination mit der Steckkappe verringert werden können.The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a closure cap arrangement with a plug-in cap in which such restrictions with regard to the use of metering pump devices in combination with the plug-in cap can be reduced.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappenanordnung die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the closure cap arrangement according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß dient das Verbindungselement unabhängig von der Innenkappe zur Ausbildung einer lösbaren Verbindung mit dem Kragen.According to the invention, the connecting element serves independently of the inner cap to form a detachable connection with the collar.
Aufgrund der Unabhängigkeit des Verbindungselements von der Innenkappe ist es bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusskappenanordnung auch nicht mehr notwendig, den Innendurchmesser der Innenkappe in besonderer Weise an den Außendurchmesser des Kragens anzupassen, um die Verbindung zwischen der Steckkappe und dem Kragen sicherzustellen. Darüber hinaus dient bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusskappenanordnung ein und dasselbe Verbindungselement sowohl zur Verbindung zwischen der Hüllkappe und der Innenkappe der Steckkappe als auch zur Ausbildung der Verbindung der Steckkappe mit dem Kragen. Schließlich ermöglicht die von der Innenkappe unabhängige Ausgestaltung des Verbindungselements auch eine vom Material der Innenkappe unabhängige Materialwahl für das Verbindungselement, so dass eine für die Funktion des Verbindungselements besonders vorteilhafte Materialwahl möglich ist, ohne hiermit die zur Ausbildung der Innenkappe sinnvoll erscheinende Materialauswahl zu beeinträchtigen. Damit ist es auch möglich, für die Innenkappe im Hinblick auf ein möglichst effektives Recycling der Steckkappe ein Material auszuwählen, das mit dem Material der Hüllkappe übereinstimmt, um den für das Recycling bestimmten Materialanteil der Steckkappe bzw. der Verschlusskappenanordnung möglichst hoch zu wählen. So ist etwa eine Materialwahl denkbar, bei der für das Verbindungselement ein Kunststoffmaterial und für die Hüllkappe, die Innenkappe und den Kragen Aluminium gewählt wird.Due to the independence of the connecting element from the inner cap, it is no longer necessary in the closure cap arrangement according to the invention to adapt the inner diameter of the inner cap in a special way to the outer diameter of the collar in order to ensure the connection between the plug-in cap and the collar. In addition, in the closure cap arrangement according to the invention, one and the same connecting element serves both to connect the outer cap and the inner cap of the plug-in cap and to form the connection of the plug-in cap to the collar. Finally, the design of the connecting element, which is independent of the inner cap, also enables a choice of material for the connecting element that is independent of the material of the inner cap, so that a material choice is particularly advantageous for the function of the connecting element is possible without thereby impairing the choice of material that appears sensible for forming the inner cap. This also makes it possible to select a material for the inner cap with a view to recycling the plug-in cap as effectively as possible, which corresponds to the material of the outer cap, in order to select the material proportion of the plug-in cap or the closure cap arrangement intended for recycling as high as possible. For example, a choice of material is conceivable in which a plastic material is selected for the connecting element and aluminum is selected for the outer cap, the inner cap and the collar.
Besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf eine dem Recycling vorausgehende Trennung der für die Verschlusskappenanordnung bzw. die Steckkappe gewählten Materialien ist es, wenn die Verbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement und dem Kragen als mechanische Verbindung ausgebildet ist.It is particularly advantageous with regard to a separation of the materials selected for the closure cap arrangement or the plug-in cap prior to recycling if the connection between the connecting element and the collar is designed as a mechanical connection.
Eine besonders einfache Trennung der verwendeten Materialien kann erfolgen, wenn die Verbindung als kraftschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung ausgebildet ist.A particularly simple separation of the materials used can occur if the connection is designed as a non-positive and/or positive connection.
Wenn das Verbindungselement aus einem vom Material der Hüllkappe und/oder dem Material der Innenkappe abweichenden Material gebildet ist, ist eine Materialkombination bei der Herstellung der Verschlusskappenanordnung möglich, bei der in der Auswahl der Materialien eine Optimierung hinsichtlich der jeweiligen Verwendung des Materials zur Ausbildung des Verbindungselements, der Innenkappe, der Hüllkappe bzw. des Kragens erfolgen kann.If the connecting element is formed from a material that differs from the material of the outer cap and/or the material of the inner cap, a combination of materials is possible in the production of the closure cap arrangement, in which the selection of materials optimizes the respective use of the material to form the connecting element , the inner cap, the outer cap or the collar can be done.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Verbindungselement aus einem Kunststoffmaterial und zumindest die Hüllkappe und das Kappeninnenteil aus Metall, vorzugsweise Aluminium, gebildet sind, wobei der Metallanteil bzw. der Aluminiumanteil mindestens 90 %, vorzugsweise 92 %, besonders vorzugsweise 95 % beträgt, um im Bedarfsfall sogar ein Recycling der Verschlusskappenanordnung bzw. der Steckkappe zu ermöglichen, ohne vorherige mechanische Trennung des Verbindungselements aus der Kombination mit der Hüllkappe und der Steckkappe, also beispielsweise durch ein Einschmelzen der Steckkappe erfolgt, bei dem die besonders geringe Menge eines Kunststoffanteils thermisch eliminiert wird.It is particularly advantageous if the connecting element is made of a plastic material and at least the outer cap and the inner cap part are made of metal, preferably aluminum, the metal content or the aluminum content being at least 90%, preferably 92%, particularly preferably 95%, in order to If necessary, the closure cap arrangement or the plug-in cap can even be recycled enable, without prior mechanical separation of the connecting element from the combination with the enveloping cap and the plug-in cap, for example by melting the plug-in cap, in which the particularly small amount of a plastic component is thermally eliminated.
Insbesondere bei einer Ausgestaltung des Verbindungselements aus einem formelastischen Kunststoffmaterial ist es zur Nutzung der formelastischen Eigenschaften vorteilhaft, wenn die durch das Verbindungselement ermöglichte Verbindung als Rastverbindung ausgebildet ist.In particular, in the case of a design of the connecting element made of a form-elastic plastic material, it is advantageous for the use of the form-elastic properties if the connection made possible by the connecting element is designed as a snap-in connection.
Wenn zur Ausbildung der Rastverbindung das Verbindungselement ringförmig ausgebildet ist mit einer radial inneren Rasteinrichtung, die mit einer radial äußeren Rasteinrichtung des Kragens zusammenwirkt, ist nicht nur im Hinblick auf ein Recycling, sondern insbesondere auch im Hinblick auf den Gebrauch der Verschlusskappenanordnung durch den Konsumenten, der mit der Handhabung eines mit einer derartigen Verschlusskappenanordnung versehenen Gefäßes, also etwa einem Parfümflakon beschäftigt ist, eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Verschlusskappenanordnung gegeben.If, to form the latching connection, the connecting element is designed in a ring shape with a radially inner latching device which cooperates with a radially outer latching device of the collar, this is not only with regard to recycling, but in particular also with regard to the use of the closure cap arrangement by the consumer a particularly advantageous embodiment of the closure cap arrangement is provided when handling a vessel provided with such a closure cap arrangement, i.e. a perfume bottle, for example.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn das Verbindungselement einen unteren Umfangsrand der Hüllkappe mit einem unteren Umfangsrand der Innenkappe verbindet, so dass der Masseanteil des Verbindungselements entsprechend klein gehalten werden kann.It is particularly preferred if the connecting element connects a lower peripheral edge of the outer cap with a lower peripheral edge of the inner cap, so that the mass fraction of the connecting element can be kept correspondingly small.
Wenn die Verbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement und einem unteren Rand des Kragens erfolgt, derart, dass das Verbindungselement in Verbindungskonfiguration mit dem Kragen auf einem Gefäßrand aufliegt, ist gewährleistet, dass durch die Abstützung des Verbindungselements auf dem Kragen eine in der Rastkonfiguration spielfreie und damit in der Wahrnehmung durch den Verbraucher wertige Haptik der Verschlusskappenanordnung gegeben ist.If the connection between the connecting element and a lower edge of the collar takes place in such a way that the connecting element rests in connection configuration with the collar on a vessel edge, it is ensured that the support of the connecting element on the collar ensures that there is no play in the locking configuration and thus in the Perception by the consumer there is a high-quality feel of the cap arrangement.
Vorzugsweise weist das Verbindungselement einen ringförmigen Korpus auf mit einem radial nach außen gerichteten Stützrand, der auf einem radial nach innen gerichteten Stützbund der Hüllkappe aufliegt, und mit einem axialen Stützsteg, auf dem sich ein Stützrand der Innenkappe abstützt, derart, dass das Verbindungselement bei einem Lösen der Verbindung zwischen der Steckkappe und dem Kragen ausschließlich auf Druck beansprucht wird.Preferably, the connecting element has an annular body with a radially outwardly directed support edge, which rests on a radially inwardly directed support collar of the outer cap, and with an axial support web on which a support edge of the inner cap is supported, such that the connecting element at one Loosening the connection between the plug cap and the collar is only subjected to pressure.
Aufgrund der ausschließlichen Druckbeanspruchung des Verbindungselements bei einem Lösen werden entsprechend auch die zwischen dem Verbindungselement und der Hüllkappe sowie der Innenkappe bestehenden Verbindungen ebenfalls auf Druck und somit nicht auf Trennung dieser Verbindungen beansprucht, so dass diese Verbindungen als reine reibschlüssige Verbindungen bei der Montage der Steckkappe hergestellt werden können.Due to the exclusive compressive stress on the connecting element when loosening, the connections existing between the connecting element and the enveloping cap and the inner cap are also subjected to pressure and are therefore not subjected to separation of these connections, so that these connections are produced as purely frictional connections during assembly of the plug-in cap can be.
Wenn der Hüllkörper mehrteilig ausgebildet ist, derart, dass der radial nach innen gerichtete Stützbund an einer mit einer Außenhülse der Hüllkappe verbundenen Innenhülse der Hüllkappe ausgebildet ist, kann die Außenhülse mit einem die Oberseite der Steckkappe ausbildenden Kappenboden versehen sein, ohne dass die vorstehend erwähnte Montage zur Kombination der Hüllkappe mit der Innenkappe mittels des Verbindungselements beeinträchtigt würde.If the enveloping body is designed in several parts, such that the radially inwardly directed support collar is formed on an inner sleeve of the enveloping cap connected to an outer sleeve of the enveloping cap, the outer sleeve can be provided with a cap base forming the top of the plug-in cap, without the above-mentioned assembly to combine the outer cap with the inner cap would be impaired by means of the connecting element.
Nachfolgend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Verschlusskappenanordnung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.A preferred embodiment of the closure cap arrangement is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
