Definitions

  • Closure devices of this type are welded or glued onto the containers made of laminated paper or cardboard.
  • the containers made of laminated paper that are of interest here have a cubical basic shape and are primarily used in packaging liquid products, in particular products from the food industry. From the outside in laminated paper or cardboard of this type accordingly comprises the following sequence of layers:
  • the closure device made of plastics material, by means of its cylindrical piercing element, cuts through the laminated paper exactly in the region of the pre-punched portion.
  • a closure device with the features of claim 1 achieves this object.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a closure device in a vertical diametrical section, the closure device being shown in the assembled state prior to the first use, while
  • FIG. 2 also shows a vertical cross-section of the closure device in the state of use with the screw cap unscrewed.
  • FIG. 4 shows a development of a piercing element in a first preferred embodiment
  • FIG. 5 shows a similar development of a second advantageous configuration.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 are used merely to clarify and describe two embodiments of a closure device, to which the development according to the invention may be applied, the actual invention is preferably illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 .
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 show the closure devices that are of interest here in their entirety in both cases, the closure device in FIG. 1 being shown in the assembled state before the first use while FIG. 3 shows, in an exploded view, only the three main elements before their assembly.
  • FIG. 2 shows the closure device according to FIG. 1 in the state of use after the screw cap has been fully unscrewed, the piercing element being accordingly located in a lowest position.
  • the closure device comprises the three main components, namely a stopper-like lower part 2 in which a piercing element 3 can be moved downwards in a screw-like manner, and a screw cap 4 which has the function of closing the stopper-like lower part 2 and of causing the piercing element 3 to rotate during the unscrewing operation on the first opening and of causing the piercing element to move downwards in the process.
  • the actual container is only partially shown and is designated by the letter B.
  • the container as already mentioned, consists of what is referred to as laminated paper and has a pre-punched portion V.
  • the pre-punched portion V should optimally be located such that it comes to rest exactly concentrically in the opening of the stopper-like lower part.
  • the pre-punched portion should in turn optimally be provided at a depth such that only the innermost two layers of aluminium foil and polyethylene film remain undamaged.
  • the closure device is welded or glued to this container B made of multi-layer laminated paper.
  • the stopper-like lower part 2 has a flange 21 which is formed on the lower edge of a cylindrical connection piece 20 .
  • This outlet connection piece 20 has an internal thread 22 and an external thread 23 and a plurality of retaining cams 24 formed below the external thread 23 .
  • the piercing element 3 which comprises a cylindrical ring 31 with external thread 32 , and which has a cutting element 33 and a deflector 34 , runs in said internal thread 22 .
  • this piercing element 3 is actuated by means of the screw cap 4 .
  • the screw cap 4 below its top surface 40 , comprises a tappet 44 which engages with interlocking fit on the inner wall of the piercing element 3 . If the piercing element 3 is in its lowest position after the first opening, as shown in FIG.
  • the screw cap 4 also comprises an anti-tamper strip 45 which is connected by pre-determined breaking point bridges 46 to the casing wall 41 of the screw cap 4 . Prior to the first opening said retaining cams 24 engage between the pre-determined breaking point bridges 46 and thus ensure that the screw cap 4 cannot be unscrewed without detaching the anti-tamper strip 4 .
  • the piercing element 3 comprises, as already mentioned, a cylindrical ring 31 , on the lower extension of which one or more cutting elements 33 are formed. In addition there is optionally a deflector 34 on this ring 31 .
  • the two closure devices 1 according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 differ in this aspect. However, each cutting element 33 does consistently have a leading tip 36 and a cutting edge 37 which, in a manner directly adjoining the leading tip 36 , extends in a straight line or in an inclined manner toward the lower edge of the cylindrical ring.
  • This leading direction is also the lowest point, with respect to the ring 31 , in other words the point which comes to rest on the laminated film first when the container B is cut open.
  • a cutting edge 37 follows this leading tip 36 .
  • this cutting edge 37 extends from the leading tip 36 exactly perpendicularly to the cylindrical ring 31 , in a manner directed toward the lower edge thereof.
  • a descending edge 35 that is inclined toward the lower edge of the ring 31 .
  • a perforating tooth 38 is formed on this descending edge 35 .
  • the laminated paper stretches, provided it is not cut, with one or more of its layers made of plastics material and is tensioned over the cutting element 33 , the film resting over the cutting element 33 , on the one hand, and being pulled toward the as yet uncut region of the container B, on the other hand.
  • the film resting over the cutting element 33 , on the one hand, and being pulled toward the as yet uncut region of the container B, on the other hand.
  • the accordingly extended and stretched film that is tensioned is accordingly pierced considerably more easily owing to the existence of this tension and stretching, similar to as is the case with an inflated balloon.
  • the perforating tooth 38 is not as far removed from the lower edge of the ring 31 as the leading tip 36 . With respect to the penetration depth, the perforating tooth 38 is assuredly arranged in the leading half of the maximum penetration depth. While this is not imperative, the reliability of course decreases the closer the perforating tooth comes to rest with respect to the ring 31 .
  • two cutting elements 33 are formed on the piercing element 3 with its cylindrical ring 31 . These two cutting elements 33 extend in front of a deflector 34 in the cutting direction S. While the embodiment according to FIG. 4 does not show any specific deflector 34 the descending edge 35 can, as a result of suitable creative measures, by all means also have the function of a deflector. In such a way the lower end of the deflector 34 can have a reinforced casing wall.
  • the specific configuration of a deflector, as shown in FIG. 5 is certainly a reliable operating variant, however.
  • the perforating tooth 38 follows the two cutting elements 33 in the cutting direction.
  • This tooth could of course also be formed on the descending edge 35 of the cutting element 33 that trails in the cutting direction. In this case, however, this perforating tooth would have to project further from the lower edge of the ring 31 in the direction of penetration than the highest point of the following deflector 34 in the direction of penetration E. In the example illustrated here however, the perforating tooth is formed on the deflector 34 and forms the highest point in the direction of penetration E. The perforating tooth 38 is in turn formed on an elevation 39 of the deflector 34 in this case.
  • the cylindrical piercing element can be equipped with one or more cutting element(s).
  • the cylindrical piercing element can be equipped with one or more cutting element(s).
  • the two perforating teeth 38 would be arranged in the region of the descending edge 35 but at two different heights. It could also be sensible to form two such perforating teeth relatively close to each other.
  • a plurality of perforating teeth 38 could again be provided, wherein the perforating teeth can, for example, be provided on the descending flank 35 or on the deflector 34 .
  • the piercing element is provided with more than one cutting element 33 , it has proven sensible for what are referred to as the tips 36 of the cutting elements 33 to be arranged at an at least approximately equal distance from the nearest, here the lower, edge of the ring 31 .
