Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screw closure for containers having an external thread in their mouth region, in particular for bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Screw closures with guarantee rings are used in particular where there is a need for the consumer to make tampering, in particular a first opening of the closure, recognizable.
  • the closures are designed in such a way that their guarantee ring remains intact when applied to the container or bottle, but that when the guarantee ring is opened for the first time it is completely torn off from the rest of the closure (in particular in the case of disposable bottles) or, in particular, in the case of reusable bottles Is weakened areas of its circumference in ring segments, so that the guarantee ring can be lifted together with the screw on the thread of the container. In both cases a consumer can see that a container has already been opened.
  • the closure should be able to be fed to a recycling process without any problems in its complete state.
  • a screw cap especially for bottles, is equipped with a guarantee ring that remains intact along its circumferential line, that is to say in the horizontal direction, when it is opened for the first time because it is designed as a continuous ring, injuries to the screw cap even after first open excluded. Protruding ridges or edges cannot be opened the first time this screw cap is opened arise, so that on the one hand injuries to the consumer but on the other hand disabilities in the reprocessing of the closure are reduced to a minimum.
  • the closure with the features mentioned can be easily sorted with the aid of so-called hoppers and fed to a recycling process.
  • the guarantor ring is equipped with at least one deformation area which, when the closure is opened for the first time and the predetermined breaking line is torn open, is deformed and irreversibly deformed in such a way that it keeps the spread ring area in the spreading position. Attempts to completely bend the guarantee ring back into its original position and to make the manipulations at the closure invisible therefore fail. The consumer can thus reliably recognize the first opening of the container.
  • the guarantee ring per se viewed in the circumferential direction — remains intact after the first opening, injuries to the screw closure once opened are not possible — unlike in the case of the ring segments of conventional burst-open closures.
  • the guarantee ring of the type mentioned here does not have any blown-on ring segments which can be removed by the consumer and can therefore no longer be sent to a recycling process.
  • the smooth outer wall of the screw cap reduces the possibility of injuries to a minimum when the container is being transported. Furthermore, it is practically impossible for objects to get caught on the outside of the screw cap and damage it, so that it is falsified for the consumer there is the impression that the closure has already been opened.
  • a preferred embodiment of the screw closure preferably has three segments, each of which extends over a range of 120 °.
  • retaining webs span the predetermined breaking line, which do not tear off when the closure is opened for the first time.
  • the wall of the guarantee ring is provided with deformation areas which deform irreversibly when first opened.
  • closures are used which each have a deformable area on both sides of the individual ring segments. The spread ring segments are therefore particularly secure in their Spread position held. Manipulations at the closure can be easily recognized from all directions.
  • Another embodiment of the screw closure is characterized in that the deformation regions of the guarantee ring have material deformation sections.
  • the deformation ensures a solidification of the wall material of the guarantee and / or a pretension within the ring.
  • the material hardening within the deformation areas leads to the spread-apart ring area being better held in this position and not being able to be returned to its original position.
  • this is formed so that the biasing forces urging the ring into its splayed position, so that fault line to rupture of the Soll ⁇ is preclude recycling of the splayed Ring ⁇ segments.
  • increased security is achieved in that attempts to bend the guarantee ring back into its original position are made even more difficult.
  • screw closure in which the outside of the guarantee ring is highlighted in color at least in the area in which the predetermined breaking line tears open when the closure is opened for the first time.
  • the consumer can see through the predetermined breaking line onto barbs designed as tabs, the upper side of which is contrasted in color with the color of the outside of the guarantee ring.
  • This Broken screw caps are very easy to distinguish from undamaged.
  • an embodiment of the screw closure is preferred in which the closure cap and the guarantee ring are made in one piece from plastic.
  • Such closures can be produced particularly inexpensively, for example by means of a plastic injection molding process or co-pression-aging process.
  • an embodiment of the screw closure is preferred in which the guarantee is connected to a supporting ring made of plastic via the predetermined breaking line and both parts are formed in one piece and can preferably be produced by means of a plastic injection molding process or a compression molding process.

With such a high fold the tabs, the inner surface of the support ring above the predetermined breaking line 29 is subjected to an expansion force, while the predetermined breaking line itself remains practically unloaded. Therefore, the combination of support and guarantee ring remains unchanged when the closure 10 is first put on.

Due to the ramp-like configuration and the thickness of the hooks given in the front area of the tabs, the tabs can slide very difficultly between the inner surface of the closure and the outer surface of the container when first opened. In addition, the tabs can be prevented from folding back by the contact areas 45, which make it impossible to pivot the tabs back too far. In this way it is ensured that the tabs spring back securely under the stop bead 65 on the container and cannot slide along the outside of the container even when the closure is first opened.
  • the straps are provided on their upper side with stiffening webs or with a stiffening ramp which prevent the straps from being compressed and thus ensure that the blasting forces introduced into the straps are transmitted.

  • the material of the guarantee ring 9 made of plastic is selected such that the deformation areas are irreversibly deformed when the closure is first opened. As a result, attempts to push the ring segments back into their original position or to bend them fail. In principle, it is possible for each ring segment to have only one deformation region near an associated retaining web.
  • the closures are preferably designed in such a way that deformation regions are provided at both ends of a ring segment, so that the deformed segment is opened after the closure has been opened for the first time. ment is held in its spread position.
  • a locking device can be provided on the inner surface of the closure or of the support ring, which engages in the tabs when the ring segment area is spread apart. In this way, bending back of the segment areas can additionally be avoided.
  • a depression 23 is made in the area of the holding webs 5 in the outer wall of the guarantee ring 9.
  • These grooves present in the outer surface of the closure can be used to pick up the closure with a picking device and to keep it oriented in such a way that the position of the retaining webs is known for further processing steps. For example, by detecting the closure in this way, only a limited area of the outer wall can be provided with a predetermined breaking line. If a circumferential predetermined breaking line is desired, which is introduced by a horizontal cut extending over 360 °, the depressions 23 can also be dispensed with. In addition, such depressions could also be provided on the inside of the closure if it is to be gripped in an oriented manner.
  • the deformation regions provided at the end of the respective ring segments can additionally be provided with material deformation sections 27, which are introduced, for example, by circular stamping dies, as is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 has been explained. It is also possible to provide one or more grooves running alongside one another in the material deformation sections, which are likewise made by an embossing or cold deformation process. By treating the deformation areas in this way, material hardening takes place, which leads to the fact that the deformation areas are deformed all the more irreversibly when the closure is opened for the first time.

In addition, they are very stably connected to the guarantee ring 9 via the deformation regions 47 shown in FIG. 7, so that high forces can be introduced into the guarantee ring.
  • the guarantee ring 9 remains intact along its circumferential surface even when it is opened for the first time and that only the predetermined breaking line tears open in a defined area and enables a ring segment to be deflected or spread downward.
  • the ring segments are held in the spread-apart position by the deformation regions, so that manipulations on the container can be reliably recognized by the consumer.
  • no burrs or edges can arise which could result in injury to the consumer.
  • closures designed in this way or combinations of carrying and guaranteeing can easily be automatically further processed in a later recycling process.
  • Hopper used for sorting can work without incident since the closures cannot get caught there due to the missing burrs and edges - which are provided on the vertical incisions of conventional guarantee rings. It is therefore, for example easily possible to automatically sort the all-plastic closures and align them so that the sealing insert can be removed automatically.
  • the tolerance ranges that is, the maximum dimensional deviations between the external thread of the container to be closed and the inner diameter which is produced when the closure is put on of the closure, can be chosen very closely. Also in the case where the inside diameter of the closure is somewhat smaller than the outer diameter of the container, the predetermined breaking line is loaded so little that the closure can be put on without damage. '
  • the ring segment regions that are spread apart in the axial direction are very easily recognizable.
  • the optical detection of manipulations can, however, be further improved in that the outer surface of the closure is colored in the area of the ring segments to be spread. A continuous colored line is then interrupted by the broken line. The top of the tabs present in this area can shine through the predetermined breaking line. If, for example, the jacket area of the closure is red here, a white surface of the tabs can be clearly visible, for example. Conversely, in the case of, for example, a white closure, a red upper side of the tabs can be detected very easily when a predetermined breaking line is blown open. Color differences between the outer surface of the closure and the upper side of the tabs make manipulations on the closure even more clearly visible to a consumer.
