Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for a container, wherein the closure comprises a base part and a hinged lid.
  • the closure may be attached to a container opening of the container and has an outlet opening.
  • the hinged lid can be pivoted about a pivot axis to the base part.
  • Such a closure is for example from the WO 2005/090185 A1 known.
  • the cap can be placed on a bottle filled with liquid detergent.
  • the hinged lid closes the outlet opening of the base. Through the container opening and the closure then no detergent can occur.
  • the outlet opening opens, so that detergent can be removed from the bottle.
  • the loads on the product or on the primary packaging during transport to the customer can not be precisely defined.
  • the conditions can not be specified during transport to the customer.
  • the shipping package can be exposed to different temperatures, vibrations and shocks. Also, the shipping container may fall during transport from different heights.
  • padding materials are used within the shipping packaging.
  • the quantity of the padding material used is different.
  • products are shipped without padding material.
  • Different formats of the shipping packaging as well as the position or orientation of the primary packaging within the shipping packaging influence the loads on the primary packaging during transport to the customer.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to further develop a closure with base part and hinged hinged lid, so that a container equipped with such a closure is better suited for distribution via Ecommerce channels.
  • the base part has two opposing shoulders, wherein in the closed position the hinged lid lies between the two shoulders and the two shoulders project beyond the hinged lid in a vertical direction.
  • the hinged lid is thus protected by the shoulders from shocks or strains from the side and from above. This reduces the risk that the hinged lid will pop open or become damaged under such loads. This leads to a significantly reduced risk of unwanted leakage of the product in the container.
  • the opposing shoulders each have an upper shoulder edge parallel to each other.
  • the two upper shoulder edges define an approximately rectangular shelter in which the hinged lid is in the closed position.
  • the laterally arranged shoulders absorb impacts from the side and from above.
  • An implementation of the invention provides that the upper shoulder edge extends in a longitudinal direction which is transverse to the pivot axis.
  • the through the shoulder edges or through the Shoulders formed shelter can be tailored to the shape of the hinged lid.
  • the distance between the shoulder edges can be minimized, which means better protection for the hinged lid.
  • the distance between the shoulders is 0.01 to 5 mm larger than a width of the hinged lid.
  • the width of the hinged lid can be 4 to 45 mm.
  • the upper shoulder edge can project beyond the hinged lid over substantially its entire length. If the hinged lid has a first area facing the pivot axis, a second middle area and a third area facing away from the pivot axis, then the hinged lid is surmounted by the upper edge in all areas, which means particularly good mechanical protection for the hinged lid. Before the invention, however, embodiments are also covered in which, for example, only the second, middle region and the third region are surmounted by the upper shoulder edge. The first area is not overshadowed by the shoulder edge, here would not offer a direct protection in a shock from above the shoulder. Preferably, based on the entire longitudinal extent of the hinged lid from the pivot axis to an outer end, the hinged lid is surmounted in more than 70, 80 or even 90% of the shoulders. The total length can be between 20 and 80 mm.
  • the base member may include a support for the flip cover wherein an inner shoulder wall of each shoulder may extend perpendicularly (90 ° +/- 10 °) from the overlay to the upper shoulder edge.
  • a height of the inner shoulder wall is greater than a vertical height of the hinged lid.
  • the supernatant may be 0 to 5 mm, preferably 0.1 to 4 mm).
  • the recess can vary over the longitudinal extent of the hinged lid constant or only within narrow limits. If, for example, the hinged lid has a curved shape in its longitudinal extent, then the individual shoulder edge can follow this shape and be bent with the same or comparable curvature. Also, the support of the base part may be bent or curved.
  • the hinged lid has a U-shaped cross section with two legs and with a base connecting the legs.
  • the legs can rest with their open ends on the support of the base part, when the hinged lid is in the closed position.
  • the legs are parallel to the inner shoulder wall of the shoulder.
  • the closure may be formed in one piece, wherein the base part is connected to the hinged lid expediently via a film hinge.
  • the closure can thus be easier Produce way as an injection molded part.
  • Preferred material is plastic, in particular polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • the hinged lid In order to facilitate opening the hinged lid, its grip can be increased by suitable means such as grip ribs or nubs. It is also conceivable to facilitate grasping for opening and closing the hinged lid by providing handle regions of softer material (for example thermoplastic elastomers).
  • the base part may have a latching projection on an end opposite the pivot axis, which on a lower side forms a latching undercut for a latching lug of the hinged lid.
  • a bevel or rounding is provided for the locking lug on an upper side of the latching projection, to facilitate closing of the hinged lid. The interaction of locking projection and locking lug keeps the hinged lid securely in the closed position, even if the closure is deformed by external loads.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show a closure 1 with a base part 10 and a hinged lid 30.
  • the base part 10 is fixedly connected to a container 2 shown only partially here with an upwardly directed container opening 3.
  • the attachment of the closure 1 to the container 2 or at the container opening can be done in different ways, for example by plugging with Verrast réelle, screwing etc.
  • the container may be a plastic bottle with a container volume of 75ml to 5000ml.
  • a liquid product such as a liquid detergent or a detergent (for example dishwashing detergent) may be stored.
  • the base part 10 comprises an apron 11, which rests with a peripheral, lower edge 12 on the container 2.
  • the skirt 11 merges into a first shoulder 13 and a second shoulder 14. Since the base part 10 is constructed symmetrically to a central axis 4, the shoulders 13, 14 each have the same structure. The description of the first shoulder 13 thus applies equally to the second shoulder 14.
  • the first shoulder 13 has an upper shoulder edge 15.
  • An inner shoulder wall 16 extends from a support 17 of the base member 10 for the hinged lid 10 to the upper shoulder edge 16.
  • the angle between the support 17 and the inner shoulder wall is shown in the Embodiment approximately 90 °, ie in the understanding of the invention, the angle between 85 ° and 125 ° vary.
  • the hinged lid 30 is connected via a film hinge 31 with the base part 10.
  • the film hinge 31 defines a pivot axis for the hinged lid 30, which in FIG. 1 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show the hinged lid 30 in a closed position.
  • the support 17 With a small inclination, it being noted that the support may have areas on which the hinged lid 30 does not rest.
  • a circular outlet opening 18 is formed centrally, in which a cylindrical plug 32 of the hinged lid 30 sits. The plug 32 closes the outlet opening 18 so that the liquid product in the container can not pass through the container opening 3 to the outside.
  • a downwardly directed connection piece 19 of the base part 10 projects into the container opening 3.
  • the hinged lid 30 has the shape of a curved strip having a U-shaped cross section.
  • the cross section comprises two mutually parallel legs 33 and a base 34 perpendicular thereto.
  • the length of the leg 33 is smaller than a height of the inner shoulder wall 16.
  • a return R between the upper shoulder edge 15 and the base 34 is given.
  • the hinged lid 32 is - in the representation of FIG. 2 completely below an imaginary connecting line (not shown) between the upper edge 15 of the first shoulder 13 and the upper edge of the second shoulder 14.
  • the two opposite shoulders 13, 14 form a shelter for the hinged lid 30. This shelter prevents that impacts on the closure from the side or from above directly on the hinged lid 30 act. As a result, the risk is reduced that the hinged lid 30 is released from the closed position shown and the liquid product can escape from the container.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates that the hinged lid 30 is not necessarily over its entire longitudinal extent - starting from the film hinge 31 to an opposite end 35 - surmounted by the shoulder 13, 14 and their upper edges 15.
  • closure variants are preferred in which, based on its longitudinal extent, at least the predominant part of the hinged lid 30 is vertically projected beyond the shoulders 13, 14.
  • the return R so the supernatant of the upper edge 15 with respect to the hinged lid 30, runs in the vicinity of the film hinge at a position designated S against the value zero or can also assume values less than zero.
  • the hinged lid 30 is mainly protected by the projection of the shoulders 13, 14 from external shocks or the like.
  • the hinged lid 30 has a latching nose 36, which cooperates with a latching projection 20.
  • the latching projection 20 forms a latching intersection behind which the latching nose engages when the hinged lid is in the closed position.
  • the top of the locking projection 35 is rounded. This rounding helps to push the hinged lid 30 in the closed position shown here.
  • a finger grip 37 is provided at the end 35.
  • the locking connection between locking lug 36 and latching projection 20 can be solved, so that the hinged lid 30, in the representation of FIG. 1 , can be folded upwards counterclockwise.
  • the plug 32 is pulled out of the outlet opening 18 and releases it.
  • the film hinge 31 may be formed so that the hinged lid 32 is pressed by elastic restoring forces in a defined open position (for example, offset by 180 ° to the closed position shown).
  • To close the hinged lid is pivoted back in a clockwise direction until the latch 36 comes to rest on the top of the locking projection 20.
  • a compressive force from above is caused by the rounding the locking lug 36 is pressed outwards so that they can pass the locking projection 18. Then it locks in the position shown.
