Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for containers or the like.
  • the invention therefore relates in particular to one-piece rocker arm closures which are suitable for leak-proof closing of containers and bottles for storing liquids of all kinds.
  • a closure of this type is known from DE-A-31 04 561.
  • a pivotable pouring spout is sealed in the closed position by a sealing projection which engages in the outer end of a through opening in the pouring spout and which is integrally formed on an outer end wall of a recess provided in the cap part, in which the pouring spout in the closed position is essentially included.
  • the sealing projection can also take on the function of locking the pouring spout in the closed position, so that separate measures can be saved in this regard, heavy contamination of the recess in the cap part cannot be avoided since the sealing projection is exposed to the fluid to be sealed and drips or drips through Leakage leaked fluid can accumulate in the recess and cannot easily flow away due to the required outer end wall.
  • DE-C-32 02 151 it is further known to seal the through opening in the pouring spout instead of at the outer end at the inner inlet end thereof.
  • a sealing lip is provided along the inner end of the through-opening, which is pressed against a rigid wall provided on the cap part when the pouring spout is pivoted into the closed position.
  • An advantage of the known internal sealing of the through opening of the pouring spout is, however, that there are fewer restrictions with regard to the design of the recess receiving the pouring spout than with closures with an outside sealing of the passage passage, since in principle there is no need for an outside end wall of the recess.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a closure of the type mentioned, which allows an improved sealing of the passage passage of the pouring spout with a simple construction favorable construction and reduced susceptibility to contamination.
  • the closure according to the invention comprises a cap part which can be applied to the container and has a pouring spout which, for pivoting between a first and a second position, extends circumferentially with the cap part through Film hinge and otherwise connected in one piece by a flexible folding wall and has a passage passage as part of a flow path between the inside of the cap part and the outside, which passage passage is opened in the first position of the pouring spout and in the second position by an engaging in an end region of the passage passage Sealing pin is sealed, which is arranged on the cap part in a relation to the passage passage that is essentially aligned with respect to the second position of the pouring spout, the sealing pin being provided on the inside of the pouring spout and outside the flow path, such that when the pouring spout is pivoted into the second position an area of the folding wall can be pressed into the inner end area of the passage passage through the sealing pin.
  • the sealing pin not only takes on the function of sealing the passage of the pouring spout, but also locking it in the closed position, so that additional locking or locking means can be dispensed with, which correspondingly simplifies the construction of the closure.
  • the sealing pin engages in the inner end region of the passage passage. including the folding wall as a further sealing means, in that an area of the folding wall is pressed into the closed position into the inner end of the passage passage when the pouring spout moves. At the same time, this creates an increased sealing effect and prevents the sealing pin from becoming dirty since it does not come into contact with the fluid to be sealed.
  • an outer end wall of the recess in the cap part which receives the pouring spout in the closed position, can be dispensed with, which also contributes to accumulations of polluting fluid in the recess can be avoided.
  • the folding wall can be formed as a simple wall thinning without predetermined folding or folding lines.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a closure constructed according to the invention with the pouring spout shown in a first or open position
  • FIG. 3 shows the closure in a view similar to FIG. 2, but showing the pouring spout in a second or closed position
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectioned view along section line IV-IV in FIG. 3.
  • the closure according to the invention comprises, as shown, a cap part 1 which can be fastened to a neck of a container or a bottle (not shown) in a suitable manner, for example by means of a screw thread 13 shown in FIG. 2 an upper wall 2 and an inner sealing cone 11 which can engage sealingly in the mouth opening of the container neck.
  • the cap part 1 can also have means for impinging on a container neck in a known manner.
  • the top wall 2 forms a recess 3 which is open towards the outside and upwards, the longer axis of which is radial to the center line and which is otherwise adapted to the dimension and configuration of a pouring spout 6 connected to the cap part 1 described below, so that this is accommodated in the recess 3 can be.
  • the pouring spout 6 can comprise a rigid plate-shaped cover wall 8, on the underside of which a tubular shape with a passage passage 7 with an inner and an outer end is provided.
  • the top wall 8 is integrally connected to the top wall 2 of the cap part 1 along its inner broad side 'via a film hinge 9 and thus enables the pouring spout 6 to be pivoted relative to the cap part 1 between two end positions, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • a further connection between the pouring nozzle 6 and the cap part 1 is created by a flexible wall thinning or folding wall 10, which is on the one hand between an inner edge 14 of the pouring nozzle 6 and an outer edge 15 of an inner end wall region 4 of the recess 3 in the cap part 1 and on the other hand on both sides of the film hinge 9 extended extensively.
  • the folding wall 10, together with the film hinge 9, surrounds an area which is hermetically shielded from the outside and which is part of a flow path comprising the passage passage 7, cf.
  • Arrows A in FIG. 2 which connects the interior of the cap part 1 or the container to the outside environment when the pouring spout 6 is first in the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Position. In this position, the passage passage 7 of the pouring nozzle 6 can lie on an extension of the center line of the closure.
  • the folding wall 10 is stretched in the first position of the pouring spout 6 and can fold several times when the pouring spout 6 is pivoted into the second position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. If desired, the folding can be carried out in a defined manner by means of folding lines predetermined in the folding wall 10. Since the closure is formed in the first position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 with the folding wall 10 extended, the latter has to strive to assume the first position when no external force acts on the nozzle 6.
  • a spherical cap-shaped sealing projection or pin 5 is formed on the inner end wall region 4 of the recess 3, which protrudes into the recess 3 and is oriented in relation to the passage passage 7 in such a way that it can engage in a sealing manner in its inner end region when the nozzle 6 is pivoted from the first to the second position.
  • the folding wall 10 is also connected to the cap part 1, as indicated at 15.
  • the sealing pin 5 also acts as a detent to hold the pouring spout 6 in the second position.
  • separate latching means could also be provided between the side walls of the recess 3 of the cap part 1 and the top wall 8 of the pouring spout 6 in order to hold them in the second position.
  • the top wall 8 of the pouring spout 6 can be extended somewhat beyond the outer end of the passage passage 7, so that one Gripping surface 12 is formed, which can be grasped by a finger of a hand for pivoting the nozzle 6.
  • the closure according to the invention is a plastic part molded in one piece in the injection molding process, the molding preferably taking place in the first position of the pouring spout 6 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 with the folding wall 10 extended.
