Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 瓶又はこれに類似するものを閉鎖するための、 特にプラスチック製のスクリューキャップ 本発明は、請求項1の上位概念に記載した形式の、瓶又はこれに類似するもの を閉鎖するためのスクリューキャップに関する。 ドイツ連邦共和国特許出願公開第4108453号明細書により、このような 形式のスクリューキャップが公知である。この公知のスクリューキャップでは、 内側に向けられた係止突起が鉤形に形成されている。これにより、このスクリュ ーキャップを瓶首部分の雄ねじ山に初めてねじ締める際には、係止突起が、保護 目的で瓶首部分に配置された環状の外側突部の後方にスナップ係合する。スクリ ューキャップをねじ外す際には、この鉤形の係止突起により保護リングが瓶首部 分に設けられた外側突起の後方に固く保持される。従って、保護リングとスクリ ューキャップの円筒形部分との間の細いウエブによって形成された目標破断個所 が破断されて、保護リングは瓶首部分に残される。これによりオリジナル性の保 護が得られる。何故なら、スクリューキャップを再びねじ締めた後では、保護リ ングは瓶首部分にルーズに保持されるからである。これにより、瓶が既に一度開 放されたということが簡単 に認識できるのである。 この公知のスクリューキャップの欠点は、保護リングの鉤形の係止突起が瓶首 部分の外側突部を越えて運動する際に、比較的大きなトルクを要する点にある。 この大きなトルクに基づき、保護リングとスクリューキャップの円筒形の部分と の間に細いウエブによって形成された目標破断個所が、ねじ締め時に既に剪断さ れてしまうおそれがあり、ひいては、保護リングが瓶首部分に、まるで瓶が一度 開放されて、再び閉鎖された場合のようにルーズに位置するようになる。この結 果、瓶内容物がオリジナルであるということは認識できず、保証されない。 そこで本発明の課題は、冒頭で述べた形式のスクリューキャップを改良して、 初めてねじ締める際に、スクリューキャップの円筒形の部分と保護リングとの間 の目標破断個所が剪断される危険性を減少させるようなスクリューキャップを提 供することにある。 この課題は、本発明によれば請求項1記載の特徴部に記載の手段により解決さ れた。 この手段の根底をなす概念は、スクリューキャップの円筒形の部分と、保護リ ングとを周方向で形状接続的に、但しねじ方向で解離可能に互いに結合させるこ とにある。互いに向かい合って位置する、円筒形の部分の縁部と保護リングの縁 部とが、形状接続的に互いに内外に係合することにより、大きなトルクが、両部 分の相対的な回転運動なしに伝えられる。これにより、オリジナルの状態で、保 護リングをスクリューキャップの円筒形の部分に接続させている目標破断個所が 剪断又は破断されるという危険性がなくなる。 有利には突起と切欠とは方形であって、この場合複数の突起と切欠とが有利に は設けられ、これらの突起と切欠とは有利には波形に互いに内外に係合する。ウ エブは基本的に任意の個所に位置することができる。即ち、例えば、突起と切欠 とが互いに内外に係合していない個所に位置することができる。有利には、目標 破断個所は、周方向で互いに隣接する、突起の面と切欠の面との間に位置してい る。又、目標破断個所は、突起と切欠との間に配置されたウエブによって形成さ れていてもよい。この歯列は有利には、円周全体にわたって延びている。 図面につき本発明を詳しく説明する。 第1図は、本発明によるスクリューキャップを、このスクリューキャップが属 する瓶の首部分と一緒に示す縦断面図、 第2図は、第1図の矢印IIの方向で見た拡大図である。 第1図では、プラスチック製のスクリューキャップ1を本発明の実施例に基づ き示している。このスクリューキャップ1は、底部2と円筒形のねじ部分3とを 有していて、このねじ部分3は、瓶首部分6(部分的 にしか図示しない)の雄ねじ山5にねじ締めるための雌ねじ山4を備えている。 底部2と、瓶首部分6のエッジ7との間にシール部材8が位置している。 円筒形の部分3の下縁部9がウエブ10を介して保護リング11に結合されて いる。この保護リング11の内側には係止突起12が設けられている。この係止 突起12は、図示のねじ締められた状態では、瓶首部分6の外側突起13に後方 から係止している。 第2図は第1図の矢印IIの方向で見た図である。この図面からは、円筒形の 部分3の下縁部14が方形の突起15を有していることがわかる。この突起15 は、保護リング11に設けられた対応する切欠16に、同一平面で係合する。突 起15と、切欠16の底部との間に中間空間17が形成される。この中間空間1 7内にはウエブ10が配置されていて、このウエブ10は保護リング11を円筒 形の部分3に結合させている。 第1図に示したようにスクリューキャップ1を初めてねじ締める際に、大きな トルクが生じ、係止突起12が外側突起13上を滑動し、緊張下で外側突起13 を越える運動をした場合に、第2図に示された突起15は、保護リング11が相 対的な運動なしに連行されるように働く。これにより、細いウエブ10の、ねじ 締め過程における剪断又は破断が防止される。 突起15は、切欠16の、ねじ締め方向で向かい合 って位置するエッジに当接するだけでよい。ただし、切欠16の、逆方向即ちね じ外し方向で向かい合って位置するエッジに当接する必要はない。ここには、例 えば、面18,19と、破線によって示された面20,21との間に、斜線で示 された目標破断個所22,23が配置されていてよい。この目標破断個所22, 23は、目標破断個所を形成するウエブ10と同様の目的で働く。この場合、こ のウエブ10は省略することができる。Detailed Description of the Invention For closing bottles or the like, Especially plastic screw caps The invention is a bottle of the type described in the preamble of claim 1 or the like. Screw cap for closing the. From the German patent application DE 41 08 453 A1, Types of screw caps are known. With this known screw cap, The locking protrusions directed inward are formed in a hook shape. This makes this screw -When the cap is screwed into the male thread on the bottle neck for the first time, the locking protrusion protects it. For the purpose of snap-fitting behind an annular outer projection located on the bottle neck. Screw When unscrewing the fuse cap, the hook-shaped locking protrusion allows the protection ring to It is held firmly behind the outer projections on the minute. Therefore, the guard ring and screen Target break point formed by a thin web between the cylindrical part of the cap Is broken and the guard ring is left on the bottle neck. This keeps the originality You get protection. The reason is that after the screw cap is tightened again, the protective This is because the ring is held loosely on the bottle neck. This will open the bottle once Easy to be released Can be recognized. The drawback of this known screw cap is that the hook-shaped locking projection of the protection ring The point is that a relatively large torque is required when moving beyond the outer protrusion of the part. Due to this large torque, the protective ring and the cylindrical part of the screw cap The target break point formed by the thin web between the There is a risk that the bottle will come off, and the protective ring will be attached to the neck of the bottle. It is opened and comes to rest loosely as if it were closed again. This result As a result, it cannot be recognized that the contents of the bottle are original, and there is no guarantee. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the screw cap of the type described at the beginning, Between the cylindrical part of the screw cap and the protective ring when first screwing Of screw caps to reduce the risk of shearing the target break point of To serve. This problem is solved according to the invention by means of the characterizing part of claim 1. Was. The underlying concept of this measure is the cylindrical part of the screw cap and the protective The ring and the ring in a shape-fitting manner in the circumferential direction, but detachably in the screw direction. And there. The edge of the cylindrical part and the edge of the guard ring, facing each other By engaging the parts with each other in a shape-fitting manner inward and outward, a large torque is generated. Delivered without relative rotational movement of the minutes. This keeps it in its original state. The target break point connecting the guard ring to the cylindrical portion of the screw cap is There is no risk of shearing or breaking. Advantageously, the projections and notches are rectangular, in which case a plurality of projections and notches are advantageous. Are provided, and these projections and notches preferably engage the corrugations in and out of each other. C Eve can basically be located at any location. That is, for example, protrusions and notches And can be located where they are not engaged in or out of each other. Advantageously, the goal The breaking point is located between the surface of the protrusion and the surface of the notch, which are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. You. The target break point is formed by the web placed between the protrusion and the notch. It may be. This dentition advantageously extends over the entire circumference. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a screw cap according to the present invention. A vertical cross-sectional view showing the neck of the bottle, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view seen in the direction of arrow II in FIG. In FIG. 1, a plastic screw cap 1 is shown according to an embodiment of the present invention. Showing. This screw cap 1 has a bottom part 2 and a cylindrical thread part 3. This screw part 3 has a bottle neck part 6 (partial (Only shown in the figure) is provided with a female thread 4 for tightening a male thread 5. A seal member 8 is located between the bottom portion 2 and the edge 7 of the bottle neck portion 6. The lower edge 9 of the cylindrical part 3 is connected to the protective ring 11 via the web 10. I have. A locking projection 12 is provided inside the protection ring 11. This lock The projection 12 is rearwardly attached to the outer projection 13 of the bottle neck portion 6 in the screwed state shown in the drawing. Locked from. FIG. 2 is a view as seen in the direction of arrow II in FIG. From this drawing, the cylindrical It can be seen that the lower edge 14 of the part 3 has a rectangular projection 15. This protrusion 15 Engage flush with the corresponding notches 16 provided in the protective ring 11. Rush An intermediate space 17 is formed between the rise 15 and the bottom of the notch 16. This intermediate space 1 A web 10 is arranged in the web 7, and the web 10 has a protective ring 11 in a cylindrical shape. It is attached to the shape part 3. When screwing the screw cap 1 for the first time as shown in FIG. Torque is generated and the locking projection 12 slides on the outer projection 13 and under tension the outer projection 13 When the exercise is performed over the range, the protrusion 15 shown in FIG. It works so that it can be taken without any counter exercise. This allows the screws of the thin web 10 to Shear or breakage during the tightening process is prevented. The protrusions 15 face each other in the notch 16 in the screw tightening direction. It only has to abut the edge located at. However, in the opposite direction of the notch 16, that is, It is not necessary to abut against the edges which lie opposite one another in the unpickling direction. Here is an example For example, between the surfaces 18 and 19 and the surfaces 20 and 21 indicated by the broken line, a shaded area is shown. Targeted breaking points 22 and 23 may be arranged. This target break point 22, 23 serves the same purpose as the web 10 forming the target break. In this case, The web 10 can be omitted.
