Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of a container made of tubular glass and a one-piece plastic closure for the container. It further relates to a container made of tubular glass for receiving a closure.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a tamper-evident arrangement of a container made of tubular glass and a one-piece plastic closure for the container.
  • the object of the invention is also to provide a specially designed container made of tubular glass, which is ideally suited to ensure a tamper evidence of a closure for the container.
  • the invention proposes an arrangement, which is formed according to the features of claim 1, further comprising a container, which is formed according to the feature of claim 10.
  • the container has a nozzle with external thread and the closure has a cap with internal thread for screwing the closure on the neck. It is of particular importance that the nozzle has an annular bead and arranged in the screwing of the closure behind the annular bead undercut.
  • the closure further comprises a ring connected to the cap via tear-off, which slides when screwing the closure on the neck with elastic deformation over the annular bead and is arranged in screwed position in the region of the undercut behind the annular bead.
  • the ring When screwing the closure on the neck thus the ring can stretch elastically over the annular bead and retracts behind the annular bead together again, in the region of the undercut behind the annular bead. If the container is opened by unscrewing the closure, the ring can not slide over the annular bead, since it is axially fixed by this, so that the tear-off webs tear and as a result, the ring is separated from the cap. This guarantees a secure originality.
  • the container is in particular a container with a relatively small filling volume. This is understood to mean a filling volume of preferably not more than 50 ml, in particular not more than 20 ml.
  • the container is designed in particular as a bottle or vial.
  • the outer diameter of the external thread of the nozzle substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the annular bead.
  • container and closure The arrangement of container and closure is used primarily in the pharmaceutical and diagnostic field. An application for dietary supplements, cosmetics and other chemical-technical areas is also possible.
  • the container or bottle produced from the tube glass has an extremely small thread profile depth.
  • tube glass bottles have a very pronounced, thick thread, because the liquid glass is easier to press into the tool.
  • the pitch of the thread can be reduced.
  • a thread with a symbol GL 18 and thus an external thread d of 18 mm has a pitch P of 3 mm, a thread profile depth c of 1.015 and a constant k for construction of the thread profile of 0.675.
  • the thread profile depth of the external thread of the nozzle basically, thus independent of the respective external thread diameter, a maximum of 65%, preferably at most 55%, in particular 50% of the thread tread depth of a corresponding external thread according to DIN 168-1: 1998 -04.
  • the thread pitch of the external thread of the nozzle is at most 75%, preferably at most 70%, in particular 66% of the thread pitch of a corresponding external thread according to DIN 168-1: 1998-04.
  • the thread tread depth at the external thread of the container is about 50%, a maximum of 65% of the industry standard.
  • the thread pitch is preferably about 66%, maximum 75% of the industry standard.
  • a container made of tubular glass in which the outer diameter of the external thread of the neck is 14 to 28 mm, preferably 14 to 25 mm, in particular 14 to 22 mm.
  • the closure is in particular designed such that its ring, which serves the tamper-evident, on its inside, thus on its in the screwed state the nozzle side facing elastically deformable and / or flexibly connected lamellae.
  • the ring has an outer ring part and via webs arranged within the outer ring part slats are connected to the outer ring part.
  • the lamellae may have radially inwardly directed projections with respect to the connecting piece, which conically widen in the opposite direction to the screwing-on direction of the closure and subsequently taper non-uniformly at its maximally extended region.
  • the conical extension ensures that the lamellae and thus the ring when screwing the closure on the container safely slide over the annular bead and with screwed closure the lamellae due to the unsteady tapering, thus with a crack rejuvenating area, behind the annular bead.
  • the container used in the arrangement is preferably designed in accordance with the details discussed above, in particular from the point of view of the modification of industry standardization, specifically the standardization according to DIN 168.
  • the essential idea of the present invention is thus the production of containers or bottles made of tubular glass, in particular containers with a relatively small filling volume, which have an extremely small thread tread depth.
  • tube glass bottles have a very pronounced, thick thread, because the liquid glass can be easily pressed into the tool for producing the bottle. Due to the very challenging to produce small thread profile also the pitch of the thread can be reduced.
  • These measures make it possible to construct the closure so that it can be provided with the elastic lamellae or elastically connected lamellae on the ring, also referred to as tamper-evident ring.
  • These lamellae grip securely behind the annular bead on the container or on the bottle in the undercut of the container or the bottle. In this way, a secure tearing of the ring is guaranteed at the first opening of the closure.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the upper end of a container 1 made of tubular glass. This is designed as a bottle and has in the region of its upper end a nozzle 2 with external thread 3 and annular bead 4. Through the nozzle 2, the contents of the container can be output. It is essentially cylindrical, corresponding to the tube glass and it is formed on the nozzle 2, the external thread 3 and the annular bead 4. In screw-on direction of a screwed onto the nozzle 2 closure ( Fig. 2 ), behind the external thread 3 of the nozzle 2, the annular bead 4 is arranged and behind the annular bead 4, the nozzle 2 has an undercut 5. The annular bead 4 extends over the entire circumference of the nozzle 2.
  • the two reference lines 6 illustrate the thread pitch.
  • the reference numeral 7 denotes the thread profile.
  • the thread profile depth, denoted in DIN as the thread profile depth c of the external thread 3 of the nozzle 2 is a maximum of 65%, preferably at most 55%, in particular 50% of the thread profile depth c of a corresponding external thread according to DIN 168-1: 1998-04.
  • the thread pitch 6, denoted by DIN as the pitch P, the external thread 3 of the nozzle 2 is a maximum of 75%, preferably at most 70%, in particular 66% of the thread pitch P of a corresponding external thread according to DIN 168-1: 1998-04.
  • the outer diameter of the external thread 3, denoted in DIN as the outer diameter d, is 14 to 28 mm, preferably 14 to 25 mm, in particular 14 to 22 mm.
  • the pitch P is 2 mm, in contrast to the pitch P for the corresponding outer diameter d of the external thread according to DIN, which is 3 mm.
  • the thread profile depth c is 0.55, in contrast to 1.015 according to DIN.
  • the constant k for the construction of the thread profile in the container according to the invention is 0.55, in contrast to 0.675 according to DIN.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the plastic closure having a - cap 9 with internal thread 10.
  • the internal thread 10 is formed in accordance with the external thread 3 of the neck 2, so that the cap can be screwed onto the neck 2.
  • the closure 8 also has a ring 11 and tear-off webs 12, which connect the ring with the cap 9.
  • the tear-off webs 12 connect the cap 9 with the ring 11 on the side of the cap 9 facing away from the bottom 13 of the cap 9. In the region of the bottom 3, the cap receives a sealing washer 14 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) on.
  • the ring 11 has an outer ring part 15, via which the tear-off webs 12 is connected to the cap 9.
  • the fins 16 are arranged radially within the outer ring part 15.
  • the respective lamella 16, directed radially inward, has a projection 18. This projection expands conically opposite to the screw-on direction of the closure 8 and subsequently tapers discontinuously to the maximally enlarged region of the projection 18, thus with a jump.
  • the conically widening region of the projection 18 is denoted by the reference numeral 19, the discontinuously widening region of the projection 18 by the reference numeral 20.
  • the arrangement according to Fig. 3 which shows the screwed onto the container 1 one-piece closure 8 made of plastic, illustrates that when screwing the closure 8 on the nozzle 2, the areas 19 of the fins 16 come into contact with the annular bead 4 and the hinged via the webs 17 fins 16 slightly be pivoted in the direction of the outer ring part 15, so that the projections 18 of the fins 16 can slide over the annular bead 4.
  • the filling volume of the container 1 is preferably not more than 50 ml, in particular not more than 20 ml. It may well also be a maximum filling volume of the container of 10 ml or 5 ml.
