Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tamper-evident closure for containers with a threaded neck with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Tamper-evident closures according to this basic configuration are used in a wide variety of applications, such as medicine vials or beverage bottles. By taking place at the first opening of the closure caps separating the tamper evident ring from the cap is visualized after reclosing that the container was already open at least once.
  • Another problem is the simple operability of the tamper-evident closure. This is often affected by the fact that the rupture webs do not tear off completely when first opened, so that upon further screwing the tamper-evident ring is deformed and partially pulled over the transfer ring shoulder. In order to avoid this, a correspondingly narrow design of the inner diameter of the tamper-evident ring produces an increased blocking effect on the transfer ring that is uniform over the circumference of the ring. This in turn leads to the problem that the tamper-evident ring can become stuck on the transferring ring shoulder when it is first opened. After resealing then sit cap and tamper-evident ring close together, so that practically no longer recognizable that the container has already been opened once. In that regard, then the reliability of the originality detection is severely impaired.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a tamper-evident closure of the generic type so that a reliable recognizability of a Clearöffs the closure is ensured even in the case of clamping the tamper-evident ring on the transferring shoulder.
  • the claims 2 and 3 indicate a form-technically simple realization of the Abstreifvorsprunges and the associated recess in the opposite end edge of the tamper-evident ring. This can be done by a wavy course of the parting line between cap and tamper evident ring.
  • the claims 4 to 7 relate to an additional entrainment between the cap and the tamper-evident ring, which serves to support the torque transmission between the cap and tamper-evident ring when it slides over the transfer ring shoulder during Warveridess. While in tamper-evident closures according to the prior art, such as the above WO 2004/048220 A1 the braking torque exerted on the tamper-evident ring when sliding over the transferring ring shoulder during initial sealing must be completely absorbed by the sensitive rupture webs, in the subject of the invention this function essentially takes over the entrainment device.
  • the design of the driver device in the form of an undercut in the end edge of the closure cap and a hook projection engaging therein on the front edge of the tamper-evident ring does not only provide for one highly effective torque transmission, but at the same time for locking the cap and tamper evident ring in the axial direction to each other during the screwing for Clearverschhari. This prevents the risk associated with the prior art that the breaker webs are broken open by the over-snap of the originality ring over the transferring ring shoulder and the axial forces exerted thereby on the ring even before the first opening.
  • the measure specified in claim 8 ensures that the stripping projection always comes into contact with the tamper-evident ring before reclosure elements of the entrainment, ie in particular the hook projection on the tamper evident ring in the undercut of the cap can engage. This would be tamper-evident ring and cap pulled together and give the impression that the tamper-evident closure is still intact.
  • the invention also relates to a container with a threaded neck and a tamper-evident closure according to the invention, as discussed above (claim 10).
  • the tamper-evident closure shown serves to close a container, which is only partially shown with its threaded neck 1, for example in the form of a medicine bottle made of brown glass.
  • the threaded neck 1 has at its upper end an external thread 2 (FIG. 2), which is followed by a horizontally encircling transferring ring shoulder 3 (FIG. 4). This has on the side of the external thread 2 a flat rising edge 4, to which on the side facing away from the external thread 2 a steep step 5 follows.
  • a cap 6 On the threaded neck 1 is a cap 6 can be screwed, which has a substantially cylindrical side wall 7 with gripping grooves 8 and a top wall 9. As is not apparent, but is usually designed so, the cap 6 on its inner side sealing ring elements which engage in the threaded neck 1 and ensure a tight closure of the container.
  • a tamper-evident ring 12 At the end edge 10 of the cap 6 is integrally connected via filigree fracture ribs 11 a tamper-evident ring 12, whose inner diameter is slightly smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the transfer ring shoulder 3.
  • Four such breaker webs 11 are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the closure cap 6 and the tamper-evident ring 12. They bridge the parting line 13 between these two elements substantially in the axial direction and are formed on the side of the cap 6 in a flat recess 14 on the cap 6.
  • the course of the parting line 13 between two adjacent rupture webs 11 is designed so that, on the one hand, at the end edge 10 of the cap 6 down in the direction of the tamper-evident ring 12 protruding, nose-shaped trained Abstreifvorsprung 15 is formed, which comes to rest in another in a shape-responsive recess 16 in the opposite end edge 17 of the tamper-evident ring 12.
  • this wave-shaped course of the parting line 13 for forming the Abstreifvorsprunges 15 and the recess 16 follows to the right with respect to FIG.
  • a fin-shaped portion of the parting line 13, which is designated as a whole with 18 entrainment between cap 6 and tamper-evident ring 12 is formed.
  • this entrainment device 18 has an undercut 19 in the end edge 10 of the closure cap 6 on the one hand and a hook projection 20 engaging therein on the front edge 17 of the tamper-evident ring 12 on the other hand.
  • two wiper projections 15 are arranged with adjacent driver devices 18 offset by 180 ° on the closure cap 6 or on the tamper-evident ring 12.
  • a larger proportion, such as three or four such pairs with a displacement of 120 ° or 90 ° is feasible.
  • the cap 6 is screwed onto the threaded neck 1. From the moment at which the tamper-evident ring 12 runs from above onto the transferring ring shoulder 3 with corresponding inhibition, a braking torque directed counter to the screw-on moment is exerted on the tamper-evident ring 12. As a result, the hook projection 20 engages reinforced in the peripheral direction in the undercut 19 and hooks there, so that the break webs 11 only slightly deformed and no additional torque must be absorbed.
  • the cap 6 can be overcome by the transferring from the shoulder 3 on the originality ring 12 exerted braking torque can be further screwed.
  • the hook-shaped configuration of the entrainment device 18 not only a radial, but also a locking in the axial direction of the cap 6 and tamper-evident ring 12 is achieved to each other.
  • the cap 6 When reclosing the container, the cap 6 is screwed onto the threaded neck 1. In this case, the stripping projections 15 abut against the tamper-evident ring 12 and strip it down from its clamping position, shown in FIG. 3, on the transferring ring shoulder 3. The tamper-evident ring 12 drops down to the indicated container shoulder 21st
  • the stripping projections 15 are each arranged in an immediately leading direction in the closing direction of rotation S of the closure cap 6 of the entrainment device 18. If this were not the case, there would be the risk that the tamper evident ring 12 happens to be in such a rotational position that upon reclosure of the cap 6 of the wiper projection 15 at the end of Aufschraubvorgangs exactly in the recess 16 in the tamper evident ring 12 and the hook projection 20 exactly in the undercut 19 come in. This would prevent stripping of the tamper-evident ring 12 from the transferring ring shoulder 3.
  • wiper projection 15 and entrainment device 18 Due to the immediate vicinity of wiper projection 15 and entrainment device 18, however, the latter would in each case be pushed down by abutment of the wiper projection 15 on the upwardly directed hook projection 20 of the tamper-evident ring 12, even if the tamper-evident ring 12 engages exactly in the reclosure (FIG. 3) would stand in the position shown in Fig. 1.
