  • a screw cap is screwed down to protect the sealing film, and the user then loosens or peels off this film by hand after unscrewing the screw cap and pulling off any originality seal ring that may be present, on the screw cap in order to allow access to the contents of the container.
  • the bottle with its remaining contents can then be resealed by screwing the screw cap back on.
  • the object forming the basis of the invention can thus be regarded as comprising the creation of a method, and also a screw cap for the implementation of said method, in which it is no longer necessary to grasp the sealing film and peel it off by hand once the screw cap has been unscrewed.
  • means can be provided for storing the detached sealing film within the screw cap.
  • the process of unscrewing the screw cap thus includes the detachment of the sealing film from the rim of the container or the bottle and, if appropriate, subsequent storage of the sealing film in the screw cap, which cap can then be screwed onto, or unscrewed from, the neck in the usual manner a number of times, as required, until the contents of the container have been consumed due to removal thereof each time. Separate detachment of the sealing film by hand is thus no longer necessary.
  • a reinforcement disk coated on one side with an adhesive can advantageously be inserted into the screw cap and, when the cap is subsequently screwed onto the neck, said disk will be pressed with its adhesive against the sealing film that is sealingly attached to the rim of the neck, in which case a surface-to-surface bonding of the reinforcement disk with the sealing film is achieved after the cap has been screwed down.
  • Advantageous reinforcement of the generally rather thin and flexible sealing film is thus achieved, which in turn enables the screw top to grip the sealing film more easily.
  • reinforcement of the sealing film may be achieved by using a sealing film which has already been reinforced by a surface-to-surface bonded reinforcement disk, or a sealing film that has been stiffened or is resistant to bending.
  • a glue, lamination, or sealing wax composed of, say, PE, PET, polyester, or polystyrene, or a combination of these substances, may be used as an adhesive on that surface of the reinforcement disk which faces the sealing film.

  • the detachment knife only partially severs the sealing film by its spiral cutting action, while the remainder of the film is simply removed or torn off on account of the tension exerted on the sealing surface of the sealing film when the circumferential zone of the sealing film is further raised as the cap is progressively unscrewed.
  • Each individual detachment knife advantageously has a knife edge that partially extends in the unscrewing direction and that in each case effects a spiral movement producing an inward incision at the sealing surface between the sealing film and the rim of the neck.
  • Each knife edge can advantageously be concavely curved and have a radially projecting, pointed cutting projection trailing in the rotational unscrewing direction, which favors penetration at the sealing surface.
  • At least one circular pressure lip is formed on the inside of the top section of the screw cap, disposed about the center axis opposite to the circumference of the sealing film with its reinforcement disk, if present, which lip presses the circumferential zone of the sealing film and the reinforcement disk, if present, onto the rim of the neck and nestles thereon as the screw cap is screwed down.

  • the at least one detachment knife 15 is disposed on the inside periphery 9 ′ of the sleeve section 9 above the female thread 6 and remote from the top section 8 , and the thread path of the female thread 6 has gaps 71 , the width u of which is substantially equal to, or slightly greater than, the width of the detachment knife 15 or detachment knives in the circumferential direction of the inside periphery 9 ′, so that when the screw cap 70 is removed from the mold (not shown), the at least one detachment knife 15 can be pressed downwardly into the gaps 71 and remain briefly therein until they emerge from the mold and are exposed.
  • This design involving the gaps 71 permits considerable shortening of the height of the screw cap 70 and consequently a saving of plastics construction material, because the detachment knives 15 can be disposed in greater proximity to the female thread 6 , which simultaneously avoids problems concerning the removal of the screw cap 70 from the mold in which it was injection-molded, especially in the case of the preferred use of plastics materials. Without the gaps 71 , the height of a screw cap would inevitably have to be greater, because the detachment knives 15 inevitably bend downwardly when the cap is removed from the mold, and without the gaps the only place where the detachment knives could be accommodated would be in the space above the threads.
  • the detachment knife 15 or each of the detachment knives used always has a free end provided with a knife edge, which end is curved or bent toward the rim 11 when the sealing surface 12 is penetrated between the sealing film 14 and the rim 11 (this can be discerned particularly clearly from FIGS. 3 and 6 ).
  • This favors the penetration of the knife edge(s) 19 between the sealing film 14 and the rim 11 , not only when the sealing film 14 , which in particular is advantageously composed of aluminum and/or plastics material, has a circumferential zone 13 radially overlapping the rim 11 of the neck 3 .
  • the free end of the at least one detachment knife 15 is also curved on both sides in such a way that it has a spoon-like, concave curvature (not shown) facing the rim 11 .
  • the screw cap 70 can also have a counter-pressure lip 72 ( FIG. 16 ) in the form of an annulus disposed on the inside of the top section 8 between at least one concentrically disposed, in this case relatively short, ie, low-height, pressure lip 23 and the inside surface 9 ′ of the sleeve section 9 , which counter-pressure lip presses against the sealing film 14 when the screw cap is screwed down onto the neck 3 , and which, when the screw cap is unscrewed, is designed to support the edge of the sealing film 14 against the pressure of the ends of the detachment knife or knives 15 with its restoring force in such a way that said ends are more able to slide under the circumferential zone 13 of the sealing film 14 and penetrate the sealing surface 12 .
  • a counter-pressure lip 72 FIG. 16
  • circumferential zone 13 does not necessarily have to overlap the rim 11 of the neck 3 . It also does not necessarily have to have an unglued or unsealed circumferential edge in order to ensure optimal penetration by the knife edge(s) 19 of the detachment knife/knives 15 .
  • the respective design of the embodiment of the invention is in this regard dependent on the parameters specified in each case, of which mention may be made of the material of the screw cap itself, the material of the sealing film 14 , the material of the adhesive used, and the elasticity of the detachment knife/knives by way of example only.
  • the screw cap 70 for example, no reinforcement disk 22 is used for a sealing film 14 , although the film may require such reinforcement, as described in previous embodiments, which is why the counter-pressure lip 72 is advantageous in this embodiment.
  • the pressure lip 23 serves not only to exert pressure on a circumferential zone 13 of the sealing film 14 , should such a circumferential zone be present, but also to reseal the neck 3 of, say, a bottle 1 after the sealing film 14 has been removed and when the bottle is reclosed each time the screw cap 7 , 7 ′, or 70 is unscrewed for the removal of part of the contents, by which means the bottle is resealed.
