Definitions
- the invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such bottle-shaped containers are widely used, for example as mineral water bottles, in which the mineral water is kept under pressure by carbon dioxide, which is also partly dissolved in the water.
- Such bottle-shaped containers are usually filled at the manufacturer and then combined in the form of packs, for example six-packs, by means of a shrink film and delivered for sale.
- the object on which the invention is based is to create a container of the type defined in the introduction, in which inadvertent actuation of the dispensing valve during packaging or during transport of the containers is excluded.
- This task is solved by a securing element for the opening lever, which engages the opening lever in its securing position and secures it against unintentional actuation.
- the securing element is either supported on the container or expediently on a closure attached or fastened to the bottle neck.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the container particularly a bottle-shaped container, but possibly also in the form of a canister — consists in the fact that the securing element is articulated on the container closure.
- the securing element is advantageously connected in one piece to the attachment, and it is the articulated connection formed between the securing element and the closure by a film hinge.
- This embodiment can be realized particularly simply in that the securing element is produced together with the attachment as a coherent plastic injection molded part.
- the securing element may be det surebil ⁇ as an approximately rectangular or trapezoidal Papers advantageous manner, which is hinged at an edge portion to the attachment and in which the opposite
- Edge area m of the securing position engages in a locking recess on the opening lever.
- associated with the catch recess edge portion of the Siche ⁇ approximately elements is approximately U-shaped design and comprises in particular a central, comparatively wide detent edge and extended, narrower outer arm portions m of the securing position of the securing element to O Stammshebel engage laterally around.
- the invention can have an advantageous embodiment in that the opening lever has an upper section which widens towards the free end of the lever and is reinforced by at least one narrow reinforcing rib running on the underside of the lever in the longitudinal direction thereof.
- This reinforcement step is then expediently designed as a latching device by forming a latching notch therein, which the securing element can engage in the securing position.
- the securing element can be pivoted in contact with the container lock and m locked or locked in this position.
- This latching can take place, for example, via a latching projection and an associated latching recess or via clamping elements which can be formed both on the securing element and on the closure.
- the securing element after transport or after removal from the shrink film packaging can be pivoted into a release position, from which it is held and from which it can also be pivoted back again at any time, which is advantageous, for example, if the person concerned Container to be transported again.
- two mutually spaced, preferably vertical projections are formed on the closure, which can hold the securing element between them.
- the safety device according to the invention is particularly suitable for mineral water bottles to which the mineral water is preferably kept under pressure by carbon dioxide gas.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a bottle-shaped container with features according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the closure portion of the bottle-shaped container of Fig. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the bottle stopper, the securing element occupying an intermediate position as in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the bottle stopper, with the securing element assuming its securing position
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the bottle closure , in which the securing element assumes a release position.
- the valve 10 is shown in more detail in FIG. 2 and comprises a valve seat 16, a valve body 18 and a spring element 19 in the form of a spiral spring, which holds the valve body 18 pressed against the valve seat 16.
- the valve lifter 17 is moved downward against the restoring force of the spring element 19, as a result of which a liquid present in the interior of the bottle-shaped container, which is under pressure (for example with CO; mineral water added), via the hose 3 to a delivery pipe 8 can flow.
- joint regions 22 are formed on the closure 5 and are formed, for example, from thinner wall sections of a dispensing tube, so that actuation of the valve 10 when the opening lever 9 is pressed down is possible due to this elastic connection.
- a securing element 13 is articulated to an edge area, specifically with an articulated connection 15 designed as a low-film membrane.
- the securing element 13 can be pivoted about the articulated connection 15 into different positions, in particular into a securing position, which is shown in FIG. 1 and 5 is illustrated.
- the securing element 13 consists of a trapezoidal leaf with an approximately U-shaped free edge section which has a central, comparatively wide latching edge 13c and lateral outer, comparatively narrow arm sections 13a and 13b.
- the opening lever 9 is designed such that it gradually widens towards its free end h, as can be seen in FIG. 3. This upper, widening section of the opening lever 9 is reinforced by a reinforcing rib 19 (see FIG.
- the attachment 5 is produced by injection molding, the securing element 13 in the position shown in FIG. 2 being produced at a position at an angle of approximately 45 ° from the wall of the closure 5, so see above that it is firmly connected to the closure 5 via the film hinge 15.
- the present invention is not limited to the shape of the securing element shown, and this can be designed in very different ways, for example as a rod or as a round bar, which engages a correspondingly shaped recess under the opening lever in the securing position. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
