Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap for a container, wherein at least one predetermined breaking point is provided for guaranteeing a first opening. Furthermore, the invention relates to a container with such a cap and a method for producing such a container.
  • Packaging and containers are often provided with a so-called "first-opening guarantee.”
  • a first-opening guarantee indicates to the user of the container whether the container has already been opened once.
  • Tanks with a tamper-evident guarantee are used in particular in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries.
  • the tamper-evident guarantee can be realized, for example, by providing a cuff which encloses the cap and a part of the container and which must be torn to open.
  • One of the disadvantages of this solution is that a significant amount of waste is produced when it is opened.
  • a relatively simple solution is to use a strip, e.g. from paper, to be glued to the cap and the container top, which penetrates the first time the cap is removed.
  • this solution has the disadvantage that it is not safe, because the strip can usually be detached without damage.
  • the strip can not always be optimally integrated into the optical product design and, in particular, can be cheap and unprofessional.
  • closure cap having a closure cap body and a sealing extension with a welding body for welding to the container, wherein the at least one predetermined breaking point is formed for interrupting a connection between closure cap body and welding body.
  • a removal means which removes connecting agent residues of the connection between the closure cap body and the weld body from the weld body. This is done with a cutting or shearing of these residues by means of the removal means during rotation of the cap body relative to the fixed, attached to the container weld body in the ⁇ ffungsnavbewe- movement of the cap. Characterized protruding remnants of the bonding agent are removed, which is particularly advantageous for eye drops or other on the human or animal body to be applied liquids or ointments, since thereby the risk of injury is avoided by the remains.
  • FIG. 1 shows a closure cap according to the invention in an embodiment with two webs
  • FIG. 3 shows the container from FIG. 2 after it has been closed and sealed with the closure cap from FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows the container from FIG. 3 after the closure cap has been lifted a little way and the fluid fractures have been severed
  • Figure 5 shows the container of Figure 4 after the cap has been completely removed
  • Figure 6 shows a preferred embodiment of the cap and the container with cap with a removal means for the connecting means in the closed position
  • FIG. 7 shows the embodiment of FIG. 6 during the opening of the container with destroyed predetermined breaking point
  • Figure 8 shows the embodiment of Figure 6 with further rotated in the opening direction cap and remote connection means
  • FIG. 9 shows the embodiment of FIG. 6 with the container open
  • the closure cap 1 shows an example of a closure cap 1 according to the invention.
  • the closure cap 1 has a closure cap body 2 and a seal extension 3.
  • the closure cap body 2 has, for example, substantially the shape of a cone or is cylindrical and has a longitudinal central axis to which when opening the with the Closure cap sealed container, the rotation of the cap takes place.
  • the outer surface of the closure cap body has, for example, a corrugation 8, which serves to improve the grip. It also has one or two or more burrs 7. Such a projection 7 can be used to align the closure cap during rotation with respect to its axis.
  • the sealing extension 3 consists of a welding body 6 and preferably of a connecting means 4 between the closing cap body 2 and the welding body 6, preferably in the form of a web 4 or, as shown, two webs 4.
  • the sealing extension 3 preferably has the shape a disc, ie, it is flat and its surface is essentially formed by two plane, in particular parallel, surfaces, a first inner for support and for welding to the container and a second outer than attack surface for the welder. The inner surface, and possibly also the outer surface, but can also be curved to adapt to the container.
  • the disc is preferred, but not necessarily round, in particular it may also be straight at the connection to the connecting means 4. It is located directly on the closure cap body 2 so that only minimal residues remain on the closure cap body 2 from the seal extension 3 after the first opening.
  • the inventive closure cap 1 is preferably formed in one piece. Furthermore, it is preferably an injection molded part made of plastic.
  • the container may be, for example, a tube or a bottle.
  • the container may be a Polyfoil® laminate tube.
  • the cap is placed on a spout 11 with an opening 10.
  • the container 9 preferably has a weld-on surface 12 Welding the weld body 6 on.
  • the weld-on flat 12 is preferably formed by a neck of the container, which has approximately the same diameter as the container-side end of the closure cap 1, ie in the region of plus / minus 1 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows the container 9 from FIG. 2 after it has been closed with the closure cap 1 from FIG. 1 and the seal extension 3 has been firmly welded to the welding surface 12 of the container 9.
  • the welding of the welded body 6 to the welding surface 12 is preferably carried out by means of ultrasonic welding.
  • the closure cap 1 is preferably designed such that during assembly at the predetermined breaking points 5 a buckling takes place, so that they break more easily during the initial opening. This can be achieved, in particular, by virtue of the fact that, after the injection molding, as shown in FIG. 1, the sealing extension 3 initially protrudes substantially radially and is then bent in a substantially axial direction.
  • the closure cap 1 is held on the spout of the container 9 at least through the sealing extension 3.
  • Fig. 4 shows the container of Figure 3, after the cap 1 lifted and the predetermined breaking points 5 were severed.
  • Fig. 5 shows the container of Figure 4 after the cap 1 has been completely removed.
  • the seal extension 3 remains on the container 9.
  • the seal extension is preferably welded by means of ultrasound to the container.
  • other types of fastening are possible, for example other welding methods, fastening by means of gluing or ' fastening by means of a snap mechanism.
  • Figures 6 to 10 show a preferred embodiment in which the closure cap is provided with a removal means for the connecting means.
  • the same reference numerals as used heretofore denote the same elements.
  • two webs 4 are again provided with predetermined breaking points 5 on the cap as connecting means 4 between cap 2 and welding body 6, but it could also be provided only a web 4 or, for example, a wider, band-shaped web.
  • a removal means 14 is arranged on the closure cap and attached thereto, in particular integrally formed with the closure cap 2.
  • the removal means is a cutting means or a shearing means and serves to remove the connection means 4 from the weld body 6 by means of the closure cap 2.
  • FIG. 6 shows the closure position in which the intact seal indicates that the guarantee closure of the container 9 has never been opened
  • FIG. 7 shows a position during opening in which the predetermined breaking point 5 of the connecting means 4 or, in this example, the two predetermined breaking points 5 of the two webs 4 are broken by rotation of the closure cap 2, so that the closure cap 2 is separated from the connecting means 4 or the two webs 4 is solved. In the position shown in FIG.
  • the removal means 14, which is rotated with the rotation of the closure cap 2 is about to contact the connection means 4 remaining on the welding body 6.
  • the removing means is formed so that it forms a cutting edge or shearing edge for the connecting means 4, which cuts off or shears this from the weld body 6, when the cap is rotated further in the opening direction.
  • a weakening zone or provided in this example in each case between the webs 4 and the weld body 6 a slashing zone be, which facilitates the cutting or shearing of the connecting means 4 and the webs 4 or the cutting or shear area defined more accurately than without weakening zone.
  • the weakening zone is in any case designed so that it does not yield when the closure cap is rotated to its opening instead of the predetermined breaking point, so that the opening of the guarantee closure is always accompanied by the destruction of the predetermined breaking point 5.
  • FIG. 8 shows the position of the closure cap in which the connecting means 4 or the webs 4 have already been completely separated from the welding body by the removal means.
  • the now detached webs are denoted by 4 '.
  • FIG. 9 shows the container 9 with the closure cap removed therefrom and it can be seen that the connecting means 4 or the webs 4 are now largely removed from the weld body, so that virtually no protruding remainders of the connecting means project therefrom. This can be further improved if the end face of the weld body 6, to which the connection means is connected with, is a straight end side, so that the weld body is no longer circular, but is only partially circular, or also square or rectangular.
  • FIG. 10 shows the closure cap 1 with its closure cap body 2 and the seal extension 3 with the welding body ⁇ and the connection means 4.
  • the removal means 14 can be seen to be arranged on the closure cap body in such a way that, when the welding body is stationary and the cap cap is rotating - Pen emotions 2, so in the situation as it results in a sealed container 9 at its opening, after a predetermined opening angle of rotation, the connecting means 4 separates from the weld body. Seen here are preferably provided Schwarzszonen 16 at the junction of weld body 6 and connecting means. 4
