Abstract

A package for flowable material has a sealing zone (2) with a circular cover firmly joined to the package, and a sealing cap extending over the whole cover and rotatably positioned opposite the cover. A seal (13) is assigned to an opening (6) as well as to a non-central sealing zone of the sealing cap (4). One opening (5) in the cover is closed by an elastic sealing element.

Description

  The present invention relates to a container having a sealing region, and the container includes a lid portion that is firmly joined to the container, and a seal cap that crosses the lid portion and is held against the lid portion. Both comprise a seal cap having an outlet that can be accurately attached and a closed area that can be accurately attached to the outlet.

  This type of container is known from US Pat. In this known container, particularly those described as beverage cans, after filling the can and closing its lid, the liquid filled in the can can reach between the lid and the seal cap. is there. This is because the opening of the lid is not sealed before the seal cap is attached. As a further problem with known containers, it is virtually impossible to clean the dirty lid before applying the seal cap without contaminating the material contained in the container with detergent or dust. Also problematic is the very difficult placement of tamper-evident seals that are easy for the end consumer to understand and in particular do not require any additional parts. Such containers are particularly suitable for pourable or flowable products.

German Application No. 19706112C2

  An object of the present invention is to provide a container in which a filled product does not reach between the lid part and the seal cap after the container is filled and the lid part is attached and then a seal cap is attached. . Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to reliably seal the lid part at the time of washing already after filling the container and to manufacture a tamper-resistant sealing part.

  Based on the type of container described above, this object is achieved according to the invention as follows. That is, the discharge port in the lid is sealed by the seal member, and this seal member at least partially opens the seal member for discharging the container.

  Occasionally while filling the liquid, if the container is overfilled, the liquid will reach the lid through the outlet to avoid trapping air or gas while sealing the lid. It is ensured in this embodiment according to the invention that it cannot be done. This is because the discharge port is sealed by the seal member.

  After the seal cap is applied, no liquid can exist between the lid and the seal cap. All problems related to hygiene are therefore avoided. In the case of a pourable product, the present invention is also particularly beneficial because there are no product particles between the lid and the seal cap. The presence of product particles between the lid and the seal cap can cause obstacles in the operation of the seal cap.

  The lid connected to the container may be of any desired shape. The important aspect is that the shape of the lid is selected so that the seal cap is operable relative to the lid. In the case of an oval container, an oval lid where the seal cap moves horizontally relative to the lid is suitable. In view of the large number of round cans used as containers, it is beneficial if the lid connected to the container is circular. As a result, it is possible to expose or seal the discharge port by rotating the seal cap with respect to the lid.

  This is why in a further development it has been proposed that the seal cap be held rotatably.

  The seal cap may be fixed to the lid using a gripper. For this purpose, a separate fabric is sufficient to provide the function of the sealing cap on the lid. However, it is beneficial if the seal area comprises a seal cap that covers the entire lid. This ensures special stability of the seal cap and provides a number of possibilities for arranging the sealing cap to arrange various sealing cap functions.

  It is particularly advantageous in the case of a round lid part from a structural point of view that both the lid part and the seal cap each have an off-center outlet.

  It is particularly beneficial to use a harder material for the seal cap and lid when the lid outlet has a seal area surrounding the outlet.

  The closed area of the seal cap is beneficial when accompanied by a sealed area surrounding the closed area. This seal area may be arranged on both the lid and the seal cap. The seal region may be between the lid and the seal cap, or may be arranged in one piece with the lid and / or the seal cap.

  The seal area is beneficial when it is provided with a seal. The sealing part in the present invention is understood not only as an individual sealing part, but also as a sealing part which is a specially arranged region of a lid or a sealing cap that provides a special sealing effect.

  Even when the sealing area is mentioned within the scope of the present invention, it does not exclude that the entire lid or the entire sealing cap may also be made from a material having sealing properties to achieve the desired sealing.

  A special embodiment results in a lift that operates between the lid and the seal cap, which rotates the seal cap and at the same time provides the sealing effect of the seal area between the lid and the seal cap. Remove.

  The seal member is beneficial if it has elasticity. This allows deformation as a result of excessive pressure in the container or as a result of pre-tensioning at the connection of the seal cap and lid. An elastic seal cap can extend into such an opening when it reaches below the opening in the seal cap. This serves to hold the seal member or to operate with the seal cap on the seal member.

  The outlet and the sealing member in the lid are generally not subject to any restrictions with respect to their shape, but in a further development of the present invention, the sealing member expands outwardly in a cap-shaped manner relative to the container and outwards. It would be beneficial to have one or more flanges that project radially.

  An outwardly expanding structure proves beneficial, for example when a handle is provided for opening the seal member. It is beneficial if the handle is firmly joined to the seal member or if it is integral within the seal cap. After rotating the seal cap to the open position, the cap part that expands outward is pressed outward through the discharge port in the seal cap, and the handle for opening the seal member through the discharge port is very It can be easily grasped.

  Moving the seal member to at least a portion open is facilitated when the seal member has a predetermined limit point. The predetermined limit point may be arranged such that the seal member only partially opens, or the predetermined limit point may also allow the seal member to be fully opened.

  The presence of a predetermined limit point is also beneficial if the handle is integrated into the seal cap, particularly as a molded part of the seal cap, and engages with the seal member while rotating the cap portion. . As a result, the seal member is at least partially already open. This movement is performed in conjunction with a predetermined limit point while rotating the seal cap.

  The handle may also be movably held within the seal cap as a punch tool. When the seal member is opened, the punching tool needs to come to an open position by being pressed downward after rotating the seal cap. Through this, the seal cap material is cut either partially or completely depending on the structure of the blade of the punching tool.

  The seal member may be fixed inward or outward using a flange.

  A beneficial embodiment can also be obtained by the boundary region of the lid outlet being accommodated between the two flanges of the sealing member. The reason why this arrangement is useful is as follows. That is, on the one hand, the sealing member can be arranged particularly hard on the lid part, and on the other hand, in this arrangement, the upper part of the two flanges serves as a sealing part in the closed region of the sealing cap. This is because it is possible to surround the closed region. This type of arrangement of the sealing part also provides the advantage of a close connection between the sealing part and the lid part.

  If the seal cap is provided with a recess in the closed region that accommodates at least a portion of the seal member, it is very beneficial for the seal member to expand outwardly in the shape of a cap. In this position where the seal member is at least partially received in the recess of the seal cap, the seal member can be broken and opened very easily while rotating the seal cap.

  Since the seal cap can be made from such materials, it is beneficial to place both seals together with the outlet so as to integrally surround the closure area with the seal cap.

  Both seals surrounding the closed area together with the outlet may also be firmly fixed to the seal cap. In this case, it is particularly beneficial for the seal part to be partially embedded in the recess of the seal cap.

It is particularly beneficial for the sealing member to remain connected to the lid in the cut state. This is because the cut seal portion is discharged into the contents of the container, which is particularly inconvenient in beverage cans when beverages are drunk directly from the cans.

  In this embodiment, it is beneficial to project into the container with the pretension after the seal member is cut. Therefore, it is impossible for a fault to occur during container discharge.

  It is alternatively or additionally proposed that the seal member comes into engagement with a gripper which is fixedly secured to the seal cap during operation of the seal cap relative to the lid. As a result, the cut or severable portion of the seal member is kept on the seal cap so that it does not fall to any location in the container or the surrounding environment. The gripper can grip the seal member or at least a portion of the seal member before cutting, hold it during cutting, and preferably hold it after cutting.

  The seal member is locked to the seal cap after opening. In this way, the seal member or a cut portion of the seal member is firmly attached to the seal cap so that it cannot be detached.

  The lifting device includes a locking cam disposed on the lid or the seal cap, and a locking recess disposed on a corresponding portion. A locking cam and a locking recess that determine two positions of the seal cap according to its geometrical arrangement, two outlets in one position, and a closing area of the other sealing cap are the lid It is in line with the discharge port. This arrangement ensures that the two operating positions of the seal cap are determined simultaneously, as well as the necessary lifting of the seal cap during operation of the seal cap relative to the lid. Thus, it can be ensured that in some positions the container is fully open and in other positions it is completely closed.

  In order to facilitate the discharge of the container, in particular when liquid is involved or when the discharge process is accelerated, in a further embodiment a second opening is provided, this second opening being a second, preferably Is sealed by a rigid sealing member. The second opening is used as an exhaust port when the seal member is broken.

  For the exhaust process, it is beneficial for the second opening in the lid to be located in a region that is generally opposite the outlet. In this way, air can flow in particularly beneficially during container discharge.

  Advantageously, a seal cap with a protrusion is provided to open the seal member of this second opening. When the seal cap is in the open position, the protrusion penetrates the second seal member and opens the seal cap.

  The seal cap includes an additional seal area that seals the second seal member when in the closed position. The second seal member is normally used as a discharge means during the discharge of the liquid, and allows the liquid to flow out after being opened. Due to the further sealing area, which is preferably arranged as a seal, the open second sealing member is sealed, particularly when the can is closed.

  There are various possibilities for opening the sealing member. Furthermore, in addition to the above possibilities of a retractable handle or a pushable punch, there is also the possibility of cutting the sealing member horizontally. It is proposed for this purpose that the seal cap comprises a blade.

The basic embodiment results in the blade being placed in the outlet. When the seal member enters the discharge port, it is cut off by the blade. After that, the seal cap is slightly reversed,
As a result, the contents of the container can pass through the discharge port.

  When actually handling the container, it has been found beneficial to place the blade in a further opening in the seal cap. As a result, the functions of cutting off a portion of the seal and discharging the contents of the container are separate.

  In the basic embodiment, the further opening is an oval hole. As a result, the seal member that is aligned with the oval hole can enter the opening, and the seal member can be opened by the operation of the seal cap with respect to the lid.

If pressurized fluid beverages containing CO ₂ is transferred into the container, a pressure of a few bars often take. When the sealing cap closed area compresses the seal in the closed position of the seal cap, the seal arranged in an unstable manner can withstand such pressure.
A particularly simple linkage between the blade fixed to the seal cap and the seal part is achieved as follows. That is, while the seal cap is operating with respect to the lid portion, a part of the seal portion to which pre-tension is applied protrudes into the opening portion of the seal cap, thereby achieving cooperation. Until the seal portion penetrates into the opening of the seal cap, the seal portion may now be pretensioned by a unique deformation, or may be under pretension by the pressure of the seal cap against the seal portion.

  During the operation of the seal cap with respect to the lid, it is particularly beneficial that a part of the pretensioned seal is moved with noise, particularly into the opening of the seal cap. The seal portion makes a “pong” and moves to the opening. Thereafter, in the opening portion, the seal portion is separated by the operation of the seal cap with respect to the lid portion. The audible signal is also emitted by the seal portion moving into a recess in the seal cap, thus indicating the particular position of the lid relative to the seal cap, preferably in an audible manner.

  In order to make it easy to separate the seal portion at a predetermined position, it is determined that the seal member includes a peripheral weak portion for fitting the blade.

  It is further beneficial that the seal portion in the open state forms a seal region between the lid portion and the seal cap. However, it must be noted in this respect that sufficient seal material remains to open the seal even after removing a portion of the seal. This is to ensure a sufficient seal between the lid and the seal cap.

  In order to avoid losing the cut portion of the seal portion, the seal cap may include an opening having a lid portion. The lid portion forms a cavity for accommodating at least a part of the seal portion. The lid portion may be arranged so as to be integrated with the seal cap, or may be connected in the same manner as the additional portion. The opening having the blade is preferably defined to comprise a lid. Especially when the inside of the container is at high pressure, the seal portion that is in line with the opening in the seal cap opens by its own force or in an uncontrolled manner, and liquid is ejected, or a part of the seal is accelerated and pushed out by pressure. .

  It is beneficial that the seal and the outlet in the seal cap be arranged so that the seal cannot penetrate the outlet, especially if a special opening is provided that separates the seal.

  The seal cap moves only in one direction relative to the lid to ensure that the function of opening the seal and discharging the container is provided in the correct alignment by operating the seal cap relative to the lid. It is suggested that it is possible.

  It can be seen in practice that the distance between the outlet and the further opening is beneficial if it is smaller than the diameter of the seal. Thereby, it becomes possible to arrange | position a seal cap in the arbitrary desired positions on a cover part.

  If the seal cap comprises an embossed part for information, it has the special possibility of placing advertisements or information on the container seal.

  In production, it is beneficial if the seal cap is made of a multi-component material. This can provide a particularly strong material for connecting the seal cap and the lid. On the other hand, other properties of the material are required in the seal area.

  An advantageous embodiment thus provides that the sealing cap comprises a metal frame with a plastic insert.

  The elasticity of the seal member is not necessary for many embodiments. However, it is beneficial if the seal member is deformable to secure in the vicinity of the seal cap. As a result, the seal member can be supported using the seal cap in the closed state.

  It is advantageous in this respect that the sealing member comprises a frame that seals against the sealing cap.

  The seal member is beneficial when it comprises a bellows. Thereby, a part of the sealing member can be pushed into the container by a simple method, or a part of the sealing member can be extended like a faucet, for example.

  Other embodiments result in the seal member having a film hinge. One film hinge or several film hinges allows the provision of a predetermined bending point. A bellows is produced using this inflection point, or this inflection point allows the seal member to be clearly deformed.

  Although the present invention is described below with reference to a round can, features of the present invention may also be used in containers where the seal cap can be replaced, depending on the application.

  The present invention will now be described in further detail below with reference to various illustrated embodiments.

  Referring to FIGS. 1-6, the container (1) is, for example, in the shape of a beverage can, and the container (1) is in a closed region defined by the reference number (2) as a whole in the container (1). Has a lid (3) and a seal cap (4) rotatable with respect to the lid (3). The lid (3) includes an off-center discharge port (5) for discharging the contents. The seal cap (4) can rotate with respect to the lid, but cannot be lifted in this embodiment. The seal cap (4) also includes an off-center outlet (6). The discharge port (6) is arranged so as to fit the discharge port (5) in the lid at the rotational position according to FIG.

  The seal cap (4) also further comprises an off-centered closure region (7). The closed region (7) is arranged off the center like the discharge port (6) and is arranged so as to fit the discharge port (5) in the lid as shown in FIG.

  After filling the container (1), the lid (3) is fixed, for example, by splicing it onto the container (1). In this regard, it is possible to fill the container with only a few percent excess when it comes to the liquid contained in the container. Accordingly, air is not trapped after the lid (4) is arranged. The seal cap is mounted on the lid (3). When not in use, the closed region (7) of the seal cap (4) is arranged to fit snugly with the outlet (5) in the lid, as shown in FIG.

  When the lid (3) is attached to the container (1), the discharge port (5) is hermetically sealed by the seal member (8). The sealing member (8) is in the shape of a cap having an outward expansion in the illustrated embodiment, and has a flange (9) protruding outward in the radial direction. The flange (9) is used to fix the seal member (8) to the inside of the lid (4). For example, this fixing is performed by tightly bonding.

  In a non-use state, the sealing member (8) reaches the recess (10) arranged in the closed region (7) within the sealing cap. The sealing member is provided with a handle (11). The handle (11) protrudes from the discharge port (6) of the seal cap (4) after rotating the seal cap (4) from the position in FIG. 7 to the position in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the handle (11) can detach the seal member (8) at a predetermined limit point (21).

  After at least partially removing the sealing member (8), the contents of the container (1) are discharged. 7 to 10, FIG. 7 shows a normal state, FIG. 8 shows an intermediate position, FIG. 9 shows an end position before cutting off the seal member (8), and FIG. Show.

  1 to 12, the seal cap (4) comprises a single radially projecting flange. This flange is defined by reference number (9) and is fixed to the bottom side of the lid (3). In all the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 12, the area around the outlet (6) and the closed area (7) in the seal cap (4) are surrounded by the seal parts (12) and (13). This is to ensure that the substance does not reach from the container between the seal cap (4) and the lid (3) when the discharge port according to FIG. 10 is open.

  The closed area (7) reaches the outlet (5) of the lid while it is sealed again. Even in this state, the seal portion (13) seals the gap between the seal cap (4) and the lid portion (3). As a result, neither liquid nor particles of other substances reach between the seal cap (4) and the lid (3).

  In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, the flange (9) of the cap-shaped seal member (8) is fixed to the upper side of the lid (3).

  The embodiment according to FIG. 12 differs from all the previous embodiments in that the cap-shaped sealing member (8) comprises two flanges (9) and (9 '). The flanges (9) and (9 ') accommodate the open end of the lid (3) between them.

  In the embodiment according to FIG. 13, the upper flange is defined as (9 ″), resulting in a significantly wider and thicker structure. As a result, this flange (9 '') can be used as a seal part, and the seal part (12) surrounding the outlet (6) in the seal cap (4) and the seal surrounding the closed area (7). It is possible to replace both of the parts (13).

  While discharging the liquid, a vent (22) is provided to ensure that the liquid can flow out of the relatively small outlet (5) relatively quickly. The vent (22) is sealed by the seal member (14) while the container is not open. Vents and seal members are particularly shown in FIGS.

  In order to open this vent, a protrusion (15) is brought to the bottom side on the seal cap (4). This seal cap (4) fits into the recess (16) in the lid in a state where the entire closed region is closed. This is to prevent the seal cap from being lifted in this closed state.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the vent (22) is sealed by the seal member (14). The region of the seal cap (4) on the side opposite to the seal member (14) is surrounded by the seal portion (17). This seal part (17) is used to seal the vent (22) after the container is sealed again. As a result, liquid or substance particles cannot reach between the lid (3) and the seal cap (4) via the vent (22). When the seal cap (4) is rotated from the position shown in FIG. 5 to the position shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion (15) penetrates the seal member (14) and opens a hole.

  Figures 14 to 16 show a modified embodiment that allows other types of openings in the sealing member (8). FIG. 14 shows the state in which the closed area (7) of the seal cap is on the seal member. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the region of the discharge port (6) of the seal cap (4), and a punching tool (18) for making a hole in the seal member (8) is arranged. As shown in FIG. 16, this punching tool (18) is for making a hole by pushing down a partial circumferential portion of the tip cap region of the seal member (8).

  For this purpose, the punching member (18) is provided with a blade (23) so as to cover a partial area of the circumference. On the other hand, since the other partial region (24) has a non-pointed structure, the sealing member is not cut as shown in FIG. The non-cut portion of the seal member is arranged to push the cut portion into the container using a pretension. This state is shown in FIG.

  The advantage of this arrangement of the sealing member is that in the case of a beverage can, the stamped part does not fall and protrudes into the container without disturbing the drinking process.

  In order to ensure that the seal is not broken while rotating the seal cap (5), a lift is provided. The lift comprises a locking cam (19) on the bottom side of the seal cap and a locking recess (20) in the relevant area of the lid.

  The geometry of these two parts is that the seal cap (4) begins to rotate relative to the lid (3) and the seals (12) and (13) are released from the lid and lifted. Is made by In the arrangement according to FIG. 13, the seal cap is released from the flange (9 ″) used as a seal.

  Since the outlet (6) in the seal cap (4) and the closed region (7) in the seal cap (4) are just opposite each other, the locking cam (19) is again locked into the locking recess (20). It is necessary to rotate the seal cap 180 degrees to fit it. In this position, the lid (2) and the outlets (5) and (6) of the seal cap are in line with each other. On the other hand, in the second position rotated 180 degrees, the closed region (7) is located on the opening (5) of the lid. The description in FIGS. 1 to 4 shows that the vent (22) is substantially opposite the outlet (5) in the lid, resulting in favorable ventilation.

  FIG. 17 shows a seal cap (2) with an outlet (5). The schematic description further shows an elliptical hole (25). The oval hole (25) has a blade (26) disposed at one end thereof. The seal member (27) is shown in the oval hole (25) and protrudes into the oval hole (25). The seal member (27) is held by two flanges on the lid portion (28), while the cap-shaped lid portion (29) of the seal member (27) projects into the plane of the seal cap (30). . The seal cap (30) comprises a blade (26) at one end of an elliptical hole (25). The blade comes into engagement with the seal member (27) by rotating the seal cap (30) with respect to the lid portion (28). For this purpose, the sealing member (27) has a peripheral weakened portion (31), which allows the cap (29) to be cut from the sealing member (27) using a blade (26). .

  A further embodiment in which the seal cap works with a seal member disposed on the lid is described in FIGS.

  FIG. 20 shows the lid (40) of the can (41) with a seal member (43) eccentrically attached to the opening (42) of the lid (40). The seal member (43) is pretensioned depending on its shape. This ensures that the cap (44) clearly protrudes above the position of the lid (40).

  22 and 23 show how the lid (44) of the seal member (43) is pushed down when the seal cap (45) is placed. A plastic film hinge (46) in the seal member (43) allows the seal member (43) to be pressed inside the interior space of the can. Thereby, the cover part (44) of the sealing member (43) is directly positioned on the cover part (40) of the can (41). The sealing member (43) is still in a tense state with a tendency to jump out. Since the seal cap (45) disposed at a position on the seal member (43) has no opening, the seal cap (45) holds the internal pressure in the can (40). I support that. This is particularly relevant for carbonated beverage cans. The upper flange (47) of the seal member (43) is used as a seal portion between the lid portion (40) and the seal cap (45) of the can (41).

  FIG. 23 is a view showing how the seal cap (45) covers the seal member (43).

  24 to 27 show that the seal cap (45) is rotated by rotating the oval hole-shaped opening (49) having the blade (50) on the seal member (43) in the direction of the arrow (48). It is a figure which shows how to slide. When the seal member (43) is fully penetrable through the oval opening (49), the seal member (43) makes a “pon” and moves to the oval opening (49); and Move to the working plane of the blade (50). The user of the beverage can can audibly and visually recognize that the seal (43) in the oval opening is integrated.

  28 to 29 are diagrams showing how the blade (50) cuts the lid (44) of the seal member (43).

  When the seal cap (45) further rotates relative to the lid (40) of the can (41), the cap (44) is completely cut and the oval hole (51) is an opening in the lid (40). Rotate beyond (42). As a result, the outlet (51) reaches the area above the outlet (42) in the can lid (40). This allows the contents of the can to appear through the outlets (42) and (51). Even in this position, the upper flange (47) of the seal member (43) provides a seal between the lid (40) of the can (41) and the seal cap (54).

  A special embodiment of the can seal (60) is shown in FIG. The bisected lid (62) is attached to the can (61). The bifurcated lid (62) is composed of an annular member (63) made of metal, and is joined to a can (61) and an inner part (64) made of plastic and is fixed using a flange. The The seal member (65) is disposed in an inner portion (64) made of plastic, the seal member is coupled to the recess (66) in the seal cap (67), and the seal cap (67) is connected to the lid portion (62). When it is rotated in the direction, the seal cap (67) reaches the discharge port (68).

  Also in this embodiment, the opening of the seal portion (65) can exist by using a handle or a blade.
