Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Abdrückkappe Plastic for attachment to a container with a Container neck with retaining bead, the cap has a circumferential Mantle wall, on which a pusher is formed and a All-round warranty strip attacks via breakaway webs.
  • closures based on relative wide-necked, thread-free containers are placed and themselves hold positively and / or non-positively on the container neck, wherein the container neck has a corresponding circumferential Has retaining bead.
  • a circumferential Wall has formed in which a tab for tearing is and a wrap-around guarantee strip over a predetermined breaking seam is formed.
  • US-A-3,707,240 shows a plastic push-off cap, which is positively and non-positively on a container neck with Fix the retaining bead and in addition to the better Seal and holder with a in the container neck is provided with engaging sealing pin.
  • This closure is also provided with a wrap-around guarantee strip and points at the Anbindestelle a circumferential predetermined breaking seam.
  • the Investigationieband has a pull tab, but is as designed closed ring, but points in the field of Tab a vertical to the circumferential predetermined breaking seam extending breaking point in the mentioned area.
  • a just such a solution, but without the mentioned sealing pin, is from US-A-3,860,137.
  • Plastic ejector caps used as first opening guarantee in the Area of the pusher break seams in the form of Had predetermined breaking webs. These breakage bars were formed by a tear seam, which perforates later has been.
  • Such closures are for example from CH-A-417'378 or US-A-3,899,097.
  • Abdschreibkappen plastic of the type mentioned are available on the market today.
  • the guarantee strips have one tab on and one in the area of the tab existing opening or predetermined breaking point.
  • the entire Abdrückkappe consists essentially of two integrally manufactured elements, namely the actual Abdrückkappe 1 and the one-piece connected Warranty tape 2.
  • the actual push-off cap 1 consists of an upper deck surface 3 and a subsequent, circumferential casing wall 4.
  • On the jacket wall 4 is a pusher 5 molded.
  • the pusher has an actual printing surface 10, which protrudes perpendicularly from the jacket wall and through Support ribs 9 reinforced on the shell wall 4 is held.
  • the guarantee strip is realized as a closed ring and is via predetermined breaking webs 6 with the jacket wall 4 of Abdschreibkappe 1 connected. Between every two adjacent ones Breakaway webs 6 is in each case an elongated support cam 7 the shell wall formed. Between the elongated support cams 7 and the guarantee strip 2 remains a thin, free gap 8.
  • the support cams are so long that they cover almost the entire Space between each two adjacent predetermined breaking webs 6 fill out.
  • the invention extremely thin Ruptured webs 6 would be destroyed in itself, if the Do not put the guarantee strip 2 on the support cam would rest.
  • the actual Abdrückkappe 1 holds on the container neck additionally with a second retaining bead 12, which on the Inner surface of the circumferential jacket wall 4 is formed.
  • a second retaining bead instead of a retaining bead, it would of course also possible, the To realize connection with corresponding retaining cam.
  • This second retaining bead requires in the illustrated here For example, not that this assumes a sealing function.
  • an annular wall which forms the sealing pin 13.
  • the breaker bars because of the order of Chain molecules very resistant, because here practically a pure traction occurs.
  • the force is introduced, caused by a certain deformation of the cap by a Combination of tensile and shear force.
  • the leverage conditions are always more favorable. Accordingly, preferably the diameter of the Predetermined breaking points c - f and i - l chosen larger than the Diameter of the predetermined breaking webs g and h.
  • the predetermined breaking points depending on Choice of material in the range between 0.05 mm and 0.4 mm vary. This information is particularly applicable to the Choice of polypropylene or polyethylene, both for Abdrückkappen have proven to be suitable. Other plastics are by no means excluded. Typically lie the diameters of the breakaway webs in the area of the pusher in of the order of 0.05 mm and 0.25 mm. preferably, However, the diameter is more in the lower range settled, namely in the range between 0.07 mm and 0.15 mm.
  • the predetermined breaking webs c - f and i - l tend to choose the upper range, namely diameters from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.
  • the predetermined breaking webs which are arranged diametrically opposite the pusher in a size of 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm, preferably however, especially between 0.15 mm and 0.25 mm. All The above measures are of course only Measurements, which also in relation to the Abdrückkappe must be seen. At Abdrückkappen with essential Of course, larger diameters also come Rupture webs with larger diameters in question.
  • the breakaway webs are preferably designed conical.
  • This conical design causes the actual Separation point or predetermined breaking point of Sollbruchstege 6 can be placed exactly where this is desired.
  • the predetermined breaking point which is designated 14, directly to the tethering at Guarantee tape 2 laid. This will ensure that the remains of the webs remain on the jacket wall 4. This will so chosen because such closures often on relatively small bottles are attached directly to the Mouth to drink from it. With that come the Lips in contact with the remaining at the container neck Guarantee tape and a certain risk of injury would not be excluded if the remains of the severed Breakaway webs 6 would remain on the guarantee strip.
  • the invention is particularly explained on the hand of a round lock.
