Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure cap for a container having an opening, a container having a closure cap and a method of manufacturing a closure cap.
  • Closure caps for containers are already known in various configurations.
  • closure caps are known that cover a container aperture for closing the container and are removed from the region of said aperture for opening the container aperture.
  • Typical examples of this type are conventional screw tops, many of which have a screw thread which for closing is screwed together with a thread arranged in the region of a container aperture, generally at a container neck.
  • such configurations provide for the closure caps to be completely separated from the container when the container aperture is open. Examples of the use of such configurations include packages for personal hygiene articles such as toothpaste, shower gels, shampoos or the like, or packages for foodstuffs such as ketchup or the like.
  • closure caps are known in which the closure cap itself has another opening adapted to be opened and closed. Such closure caps are typically mounted in the region of a container aperture wherein in most cases medium can be discharged from the container simply by opening and closing the additional opening in the closure cap while the closure cap itself remains on the container. Examples of such types include hinged lids or similar parts. As mentioned above, many such closure caps are releasably fixed to the container such as to allow for example an easy refilling of the container. Examples of this kind of closure caps are also known from the field of packages for foodstuffs or hygiene articles.
  • sealing elements include cone arrangements or spherical seals.
  • inserts into the container aperture a separate insert which in turn has an opening for discharging medium from the container.
  • Such inserts are configured such as to generate a substantially tight connection between the insert and the container such as to allow medium to be discharged from the container only via the opening provided in the insert.
  • Said insert may then for example be provided with a screw-on or snap-on closure cap by means of which the opening in the insert or in the container, respectively, can be opened and closed.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an operationally reliable closure cap which is inexpensive and simple in manufacture, and an arrangement of a container having a closure cap and a method of manufacturing a closure cap.
  • the object is solved by a closure cap according to claim 1 .
  • the container of the present invention or an arrangement of a container with a closure cap, respectively, is the object of claim 17 .
  • the method of the present invention is the object of claim 19 .
  • Preferred embodiments are objects of the subclaims.
  • the present invention proposes in particular a closure cap for a container having a container aperture.
  • the closure cap is structured such that it serves to release a container aperture for discharging medium from the container and to close it such as to substantially prevent a discharge of medium from the container.
  • the closure cap can for example be such that the closure cap serves to release and close an opening provided in a container neck.
  • close and release do not necessarily mean that the cross-section of the container opening is itself changed. Instead, closing and releasing is to be understood to mean that medium may or may not be discharged from the container or the unit container-closure.
  • the closure cap of the present invention comprises at least one circumferentially closed wall section. Said section extends in particular around a longitudinal axis of the closure cap.
  • the present invention further provides a fin sealing device having at least two fins spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of the closure cap and integrally connected to the closure cap.
  • the closure cap may in particular be provided with a retaining section that serves to retain it at a container.
  • retaining section may for example be part of a snap-on closure or a screw-thread.
  • the fin sealing device is a retaining device or part of a retaining device.
  • the term “retaining device” is in particular to be understood to mean that the retaining device—possibly in conjunction with a support provided at a container—results in that said closure cap—when positioned correspondingly—cannot detach from the container by its own weight. It may also be provided that the retaining device is such that a certain minimum force is required for detaching it from the container.
  • a retaining device may also be a surface adapted to be frictionally connected with a surface area of the container or the container neck.
  • the closure cap preferably comprises a cap body and a hinged lid hinged to it.
  • the closure cap may also be configured as a snap-on closure.
  • Said closure cap may in particular be such a type of a snap-on closure that—if it is screwed onto a container or a container neck, respectively—it releases a corresponding container aperture when the threaded connection is separated.
  • an additional opening may be provided in the closure cap which for example can be closed via a flap wherein said closure cap can be screwed onto a container neck or a container, respectively.
  • the closure cap comprises a flap hinged to a cap body by means of at least one film hinge.
  • a different type of hinge may also be provided.
  • fins of the fin sealing device may form a closed circle. They may in particular be designed in a washer-type shape. Several or all of the fins of the fin sealing device may be identical in shape. They may, however, also have different shapes.
  • a preferred embodiment provides for several or all of the fins of the fin sealing device to be arranged substantially in parallel. They may also be arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the fin sealing device comprises two fins.
  • the fin sealing device may also comprise three or four or five or more than five fins. Fins of the fin sealing device may be arranged at the same wall or at the same wall section, respectively.

It is particularly preferred to provide such a configuration with fins of the fin sealing extending from the one of said walls on the side facing the other wall. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, a screw thread or a threaded section is provided on the other wall. Said other wall is particularly preferably the one radially further outward.
  • a screw-thread or threaded section may also be provided at a wall extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the closure cap and fins of the fin sealing device may be provided at the same wall. This may in particular be such that the fins are located above said screw-thread or threaded section.
  • the screw thread may be an internal or external thread.
  • closure cap is entirely formed integrally.
  • the fins consist of elastic material.
  • the fins are preferably made of plastics. It is particularly preferred that the entire closure cap consists of plastics. It may be of the same plastics or of different plastics.
