Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a closure for a container and, in particular, to a container closure device with substances accommodated therein which are introduced into a container when the closure device is removed therefrom.
  • a screw cap for a container in which an additive for mixing with an insert having a container content is rotated relative to a lid during a rotary movement to open the closure. Due to the friction of the insert on the inside of the container opening, a predetermined breaking point of the insert is separated and a cover closing the insert is detached therefrom. As a result, the additives can get into the container from the insert, it being disadvantageous that the closure lid detached from the insert also falls into the interior of the container.
  • EP 0 190 593 A2 discloses a closure cap for two-component packaging systems, in which a concentrate to be mixed with a bottle content is accommodated.
  • the closure cap has an inner cylinder with an external thread, onto which a cup-shaped container with the internal thread containing the concentrate is screwed.
  • the thread of the cap for screwing onto a bottle and the thread of the external thread of the inner cylinder are selected so that when the cap is turned, the container is screwed onto the inner cylinder until the inner cylinder reaches a predetermined breaking line in the area of Severed the bottom of the container.
  • the opening of the container to release the concentrate is effected when the closure cap is rotated in the closing direction. In this case, the concentrate can be released into the bottle if the cap is turned too far in the closing direction.
  • a closure cap for a container in which a medium to be introduced into the container is contained. Turning the cap releases a channel in the cap through which the medium can get into the container. To open the channel, window surfaces of two cylinders lying one inside the other must be brought to cover. The disadvantage here is that the closure cap must be turned so that the window surfaces assume the positions required to open the channel.
  • US 5,984,141 discloses a screw cap for a drinking container.
  • the screw cap contains a liquid to be mixed with a container liquid, which can be introduced into the container by rotating the screw cap.
  • a channel is released through which the liquid from the screw cap enters the container.
  • the screw cap must be turned exactly so that the channel is released.
  • the extent of the twisting of the cap determines the amount of liquid in the screw cap that is to enter the container. This can result in the amount of liquid in the screw cap entering the container being too small.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a closure for a container which enables substances in the closure to be supplied to the interior of the container when the container is opened, the disadvantages of the prior art being avoided. So, apart from the substances contained in the closure, no components of the closure should be able to get into the interior of the container. Furthermore, the amount of substances contained in the closure, which is introduced into the container, should have a desired value in order to achieve a desired mixing ratio with the original container content. Furthermore, the closure should be easy and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
