Abstract
A self-opening closure includes a pouring sport, a screw cap and a self-opening cylinder, which is disposed inside the pouring spout and can be set rotating by the screw cap. The self-opening cylinder) on its lower rim and protruding therefrom, are three combined piercing and cutting elements. The interior of the self-opening cylinder has three nail-type integrally molded elements, evenly distributed and extending toward the center of the cylinder, which have a nail shank and a nail head. The nail shank and the bottom side of the nail head of each element acts as a guide for one of the three cylinder wall segments located on the interior of the cap, concentrically to the axis of rotation of the cap. The screw cap, on its lower rim, is connected to a flat retaining element by at least two material bridges extending non-radially in relation thereto that are configured as predetermined breaking points. The retaining element can engage with a flange on the pouring spout, in a horizontal position, with pins.
Description
- This invention relates to a flat self-opening closure for combipacks as well as for containers and bottle nozzles of all kinds that are to be sealed with sheeting. This especially includes the liquid packings in the form of such combipacks that are made up of foil-laminated paper, in which liquids like milk, fruit juices, other non-alcoholic drinks or also general liquids of the non-food variety are packed. The closure can also be used for combipacks, in which, free-flowing substances, like sugar, powder, a variety of chemicals or similar substances, are stored or packed. This foil-laminated paper is a laminated substance, similar to paper or board web coated with a plastic such as polyethylene and/or aluminium. Normally, the volumes of such packings range from 20 cl to up to 2 litres or more. Alternatively, the self-opening closure can also be mounted on the containers, such as bottles made of glass or plastic or similar containers which are sealed by a sheeting. Such seals made up of plastic are available in various designs. When meant for a combipack, they form a pouring nozzle with a shoulder protruding radially from its lower edge, which forms a locking flange at this pouring nozzle. The nozzle is threaded externally, on which a threaded cap can be tightened as the closure. Such a self-opening closure is flanged on to the combipack by welding or sticking to the combipack with the lower side of its protruding edge i.e. with the lower side of its flange. The free passage at the lower end of the nozzle is thereafter blocked by the paper and the dense foil of the combipack. In case of a bottle, the pouring nozzle can be screwed or mounted on the mouth of the bottle and on the inside it can be sealed with a foil membrane. The nozzle is threaded on the outside, on which a threaded cap can then be tightened as the closure.
- The foil-reinforced paper, passing below the welded or the stuck nozzle or the foil membrane, fastened within the nozzle must be cut, torn open or pressed out for opening, so that the passage is made clear and the liquid or the free-flowing substance can be poured out of the container through the nozzle. For this, a tube is arranged within the nozzle, which is pressed axially downward when the cap is rotated and thereafter starts rotating in the direction of rotation. The lower end of the tube is provided with one or more piercing or cutting teeth. In this way, the tube is meant to cut out a disc of the foil-reinforced paper or the foil membrane running below it, owing to its axial downward and subsequent rotational movement.
- The common self-opening closure comprises of a pouring nozzle, which can be mounted tightly on a combipack or on a container- or a bottle nozzle, which is to be sealed by a foil, a related rotating cap and a self-opening tube arranged within the pouring nozzle, which can be set in motion by the rotating cap. The latest designs have a self-opening tube with at least one individually combined piercing or cutting element at its lower end and away from it. This self-opening tube, the pouring nozzle as well as the rotating cap are provided with guides and force transmitters, which coordinate with one another in such a manner that when the rotating cap is rotated for the first time in the direction of opening, the self-opening tube can be pushed first in the pouring nozzle axially downward without rotation and can then be rotated on its axis without any axial movement.
- However, if the self-opening tube shows only one individually combined piercing and cutting element, then the tube must have a specific length proportionate to its diameter, which permits its stable guiding in the pouring nozzle in the axial direction, so that tilting is definitely avoided. This necessitates a corresponding overall height of the self-opening closure. Moreover, the self-opening closure must be designed to be relatively sturdy and stable, in order to absorb the reaction forces that originate from a single piercing and cutting element. The guaranteed first opening of such a closure is mostly ensured by installing a safety seal at the lower end of the cap over a number of pre-determined breaking points, whereby the safety seal then bounces over a bulge at the pouring nozzle during the first mounting. For opening the cap for the first time, a great number of individual breaking points must be broken at the same time, which necessitates a correspondingly higher force.
- The basic function of this self-opening closure is to achieve an essentially flatter and simpler design with a lower overall height, whereby the self-opening tube opens unfailingly despite the foil and the tilting. Moreover, the self-opening closure would require less plastic material because of its smaller overall height. In a special design, apart from this, the self-opening closure should offer a guaranteed first opening, which is easier to realize for the user of the closure. This first opening guarantee should also be designed flatter and easier i.e. by using less synthetic material.
- This basic function is fulfilled by a flat self-opening closure for combipacks, as well as for containers or bottle nozzles, to be sealed with sheeting, comprising of a pouring nozzle, which can be fixed tightly on a combipack or on a container- or bottle nozzle, to be sealed with sheeting, a related rotary cap as well as a self-opening tube arranged within the pouring nozzle, which can be rotated by this rotary cap, in which connection the self-opening tube has a combined piercing and cutting element at its lower end and is away from it, and is characterized by the fact that the self-opening tube shows, in its interior, toward the center of the tube, protruding nail-shaped arrangements with a nail shaft and nail head. The nail shaft and the lower side of the nail head are meant as guides for cylindrical wall segments arranged concentric to the rotating axis of the cap on the inner side of the cap lid, which form an angular profile running at an acute angle to the lower side of the lid and a thrusting face running vertical to the lid surface, connected to this. The special design of the first opening guarantee arises from the dependant claims.
- The figures show a favorable design of this self-opening closure for combipacks in different views. With the help of these figures, the self-opening closure is described below in detail and its function is explained.
- One can see the following:
-
FIG. 1 : The self-opening closure with its three components in the knocked-down condition in a perspective representation; -
FIG. 2 : The self-opening closure with its three components in the knocked-down condition in a perspective representation, but with a sectional representation of the individual components; -
FIG. 3 : The self-opening closure in the assembled state in a perspective representation, in a sectional view. -
FIG. 1 shows the self-opening closure with its three components in knocked-down condition as seen in perspective, whereby the view is diagonal from the top. On the top one can see therotary cap 1, in the middle the self-opening closure 2 and at the bottom thepouring nozzle 3. Therotary cap 1 is designed as a threaded cap and accordingly provided with an inner threading, which fits the outer threading 4 at thepouring nozzle 3. The self-opening closure 2 shows, as the first essential feature three combined piercing and cutting elements 57 at its lower end and distant from it. Two of these piercing and cutting elements, namely the piercing andcutting elements 5 and 6, lie diametrically opposed, while the third piercing andcutting element 7 is formed between 85° and 100° of the circumference of the self-opening closure, away from both the other piercing and cuttingelements 5 and 6 at itslower end 8. - Further, the self-opening
tube 2 shows nail-shaped projections nail shaft 12 andnail head 13. Theactual nail shaft 12 of each of these projections 9-11 as well as the lower side of therespective nail head 13 acts as guide and forces transmission elements for three cylinder wall segments arranged concentric to the rotating axis of the cap at the inner side of the lid, which become visible in another representation ofcap 1. At the upper edge, the self-opening closure 2 shows a slightlyprojecting edge 14, from whoseouter side clearances 29 are available over certain sections of the circumference. At the outer wall of the self-opening closure 2, axially running ridges 15-17 are formed. These interact with the correspondingaxial ridges 18 andhorizontal ridges 19 at the lower side of thepouring nozzle 3, which shall be explained later. - One can see the
flange 20 at thepouring nozzle 3. Here, on the front side of theflange 20 lies anelement 21, which is locked on to theflange 20 with the help of bolts on its lower side. Theflange 20 has bolt-passing holes in which the bolts are tightened. At thiselement 21, one can make out three fine material bridges 22-24, which are arranged parallel to one another, so that at least both theouter ones nozzle 3. Originally, that is at the mounted closures, these material bridges 22-24 are connected in one piece with thelower edge 25 of thecap 1. The self-opening tube 2 is used for mounting the closure in the correct rotating position in thepouring nozzle 3 and hereafter thecap 1, together with theelement 21 formed at it through the material bridges 22-24, is fixed at the thread 4 of thepouring nozzle 2 and theelement 21 is pressed hereafter with its bolts at its lower side in the holes of thepouring nozzle flange 20. - If hereafter the
cap 1 is rotated in the opening direction i.e. in the counter-clockwise direction when seen from the top, as shown with the help of arrows at the upper side of the cap, first the fine material bridges 22-24 are broken. Because these material bridges 22-24 are arranged parallel to the pouring nozzle and all are not radial, they do not break at the same time. At first, thematerial bridge 24 becomes taut and breaks, followed by themiddle material bridge 23 and finally thematerial bridge 22. Owing to this sequential breaking of the material bridges 22-24, force required is less than in the case of the solutions till now, which necessitated the simultaneous breakage of a lot of material bridges. For this reason, even the older and the weaker people can easily break this first-use guarantee. In one version, themiddle material bridge 23, arranged here radially to the nozzle, can be perforated mechanically, so that at the finished closure only both of theouter material bridges cap 1. - In
FIG. 2 , one can see the self-opening closure with its three components in a disassembled condition in a perspective representation. Here, each of the three components are shown in an axial representation, namely in an axial section. Contrary toFIG. 1 , one can see here parts of the threecylinder wall segments 26, arranged concentric to the rotating axis of the cap at the inside of the lid. All thesecylinder wall segments 26 show abevel 27 running at an acute angle to the lower side of the lid, to which athrusting edge 28 vertical to the lower side of the lid connects. In case of a composite closure and when therotary cap 1 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, thisbevel 27 acts on thenail shaft 12 of the nail-shaped formation 11 at the inner wall of the self-opening tube 2. The same also applies to thebevels 27 of the other twocylinder wall segments 26. Because thecylinder wall segments 26 are designed as the nail-shaped projections 9-11, they cannot deviate through a bending toward inside. This design through the projections 9-11 enables that thecylinder wall segments 26 are essentially thinner and hence can be designed in a lighter form than the previous designs. - Owing to the guiding ridges at the outer side of the self-opening
tube 2 as well as those at the inner side of the pouringnozzle 3, the self-openingtube 2 cannot rotate, but can only move axially downward. When therotary cap 1, seen from the top, is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, it moves downward and is thus pushed axially downward in the pouringnozzle 3, whereas thebevels 27 slide over theshafts 12 of the nail-shaped projections 9-11, until the thrustingedges 28 are stopped at thenail shafts 12. - Thereby, the self-opening
tube 2 is pushed down axially as far as that it now lies with itsupper edge 14 below theaxial ridges 18. Thehorizontal ridges 19 can be passed from theupper edge 14 of the self-openingtube 2, because theclearances 29 in this edge face thehorizontal ridges 19. In the course of this axial downward push of the self-openingtube 2, its three piercing and cutting elements 5-7 perforate a foil running below it. When thecap 1 is rotated further in the loosening direction, the self-openingtube 2 is not pushed down axially further, but rotates horizontally. Thereby, the three piercing and cutting elements 5-7 cut out a section in the foil in the counter-clockwise direction along the length of the circumference of the pouringnozzle 3, and that too at an angle of about 120°. Approximately over this range of rotation, the threadedcap 1 is loosened further on the pouringnozzle 3 and thereby moves upward, so that thecylinder wall segments 26 lie over the projections 9-11 and their thrustingedges 28, these projections 9-11 do not further rotate them and as a result the self-openingclosure 2. Because the two piercing and cuttingelements 5 and 6 are arranged 180° apart from one another, they leave a piece of the foil uncut along the circumference of the pouringnozzle 2, when the self-openingtube 2 is rotated at around 120°. The foil is folded toward inside in the pouring nozzle exactly around this intact piece and continues to hang in the opening, without falling into the packing. -
FIG. 3 shows an axial section of the closure in assembled condition. One can see here, how thecylinder wall segments 26, which are arranged down at the lid of the threadedcap 1, interact with the nail-shaped projections 9-11, of which only the projection 11 is visible here. If, starting from this position, thelid cap 1 is moved in the direction of loosening, the diagonally runningface 27 pushes on thenail shaft 12 of the adjacent projection 11. The self-openingtube 2 cannot rotate along with this and is pushed downward as a result, whereby the piercing and the cutting elements 5-7, of which only the piercing and cuttingelement 7 is visible here, pierce the foil lying below it. This movement continues, till therotary cap 1 has rotated so far and has also moved axially upward, till thevertical face 28 is present at thenail shaft 12 of the projection 11. Because the self-openingtube 2 was moved axially downward, it can now rotate horizontally and accordingly upon further rotation of therotary cap 1 it is rotated further by the thrustingedges 28 in the counter-clockwise direction as seen from top, as a result of which the piercing and cutting elements 7-9 almost completely cut out a circular piece from the foil, which they perforated earlier, which, in the end phase of the rotation, is folded downward. - This self-opening closure is characterized by an especially flat construction. The nail-shaped
projections tube 2 in an especially light and low design. Still, it is guided reliably in the axial direction, because theshafts 12 and the nail heads 13 of the nail-shapedprojections rotary cap 1 gets engaged with the downward-directedcylinder wall segments 26 at theseprojections tube 2 can be comparatively so low that the ratio of its height, without the piercing and cutting elements 5-7, to its inner diameter is only 1:3, or else, together with the piercing and cutting elements 5-7, just 1:2. The complete overall height of the composite closure including thelid cap 1, self-openingclosure 2 and pouringnozzle 3 is in the ratio of just 3:5 to the inner diameter of the pouringnozzle 3. This, therefore, produces a very flat self-openingclosure 2, which also manages with less material and correspondingly having less weight owing to the filigree design yet being fully functional.
