Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reusable container with a closure unit, wherein the reusable container consists of a first material and the closure unit consists of a second recyclable material and the reusable container has an opening.
  • containers with closure units as they are known today can be divided into two groups, for example, as follows with regard to their technical characteristics.
  • a first group includes, for example, containers with closure units, both of which are made of the same or similar materials. These include, for example, plastic containers which are provided with a plastic closure. The container and closure are manufactured separately and put together before or after filling a flowable product into the container. The closure can always remain connected to the container or can be separated from the container after opening. If the container is no longer used, it is disposed of together with the closure, or each part individually, or sent for recycling.
  • containers for edible oils, vinegar, syrup, etc. which have a screw cap with a loose lid or which may also have a two-part lid, the lid having an elastic bridge remains connected to the other part of the lock. Two-part, foldable closures are also known in this group.
  • the opening cannot simply be made larger because the closure can then be deformed to such an extent that it no longer closes tightly.
  • the stiffness necessary for the locking unit must be given here by the design of the locking unit itself. For this, the recycling or disposal of the material from which the container and closure unit are made is very simple and complete.
  • Containers in this group are also known which have an opening with a relatively large diameter. In this case, however, the cover is always removable, for example unscrewable, and the opening is stiffened by the thread.
  • a second group comprises containers with closure units, in which the container and closure unit consist of very different materials, both of which can be recycled separately, that is to say separately from one another.
  • the recycling of the materials no longer necessarily takes place in that the container with the Closure is melted, but the container can possibly be reused even after mere cleaning.
  • reusable containers are preferably made of glass or metal and the closure unit usually consists of plastic.
  • Such containers are used because one wants to use a certain material for various reasons.
  • the containers are not or only very slightly elastically deformable and their opening is therefore stiff or non-deformable in comparison to the closure unit.
  • the closure units which are used for these containers are often made of plastic and are usually very light and consist of a single deformable part which is not firmly connected to the container. This is possible because of the rigidity of the container and, in particular, its opening, and nevertheless results in tightly closing closures, because the opening is undeformable and the elastic closure lies tightly against it.
  • Examples of such containers and closures are mineral water bottles made of glass, which have a screw cap made of plastic, and glasses for yoghurt or cream, which have a removable plastic lid with a snap closure.
  • Oil containers made of sheet metal are also known which have a two-part closure made of plastic, in which both parts remain elastically connected to the container in several directions. If screw closures are provided, the screwable part of the closure is never firmly connected to the container. The same applies to any snap locks.
  • the reason why such combinations are selected is primarily that the container can be completely disposed of together with the closure. However, this can mean both recycling of the material and, above all, problem-free and complete combustion of the container with the closure. With the usual Heine diameters of the openings, the freedom of design for the closure is relatively large.
  • closure unit is to consist of two parts, of which a first part is attached to the container and a second part on the first part via two different whose connections are arranged.
  • One of these connections is released when the closure unit is opened for the first time and the other connection remains after this first opening and connects the two parts to one another so as to be movable.
  • One connection is formed, for example, by a destructible membrane, the other connection by a hinge.
  • the second part of the hinge can preferably be locked in a first closed position and in a second open position on the first part.
  • the first part consists of a first material and the second part mainly consists of a second material, both of which are essentially the same, but can nevertheless differ at least slightly in individual properties such as color, strength, etc.
  • the first and the second part of the closure are always connected to one another and can only be separated from the container together.
  • Closure unit gives great freedom in terms of shape, size of the opening, etc. Since both closure parts are always connected to one another and consist of similar materials, they can be produced in a multi-material spraying technique, which opens up enormous design options. Very simple shapes for the closure parts are also conceivable, which also promote and facilitate the handling of the closure unit before assembly on the container. For example, they can be made easily stackable or can be adapted to certain properties of a processing machine. Properties can also be provided that are advantageous for the user. For example, handles have to be provided on the movable closure part which facilitate opening or predetermined breaking points can be provided which indicate from the outside whether the closure has already been opened etc.
  • the multi-material spraying technique can be used, for example, to identify or label the container on the closure will be realized. This saves creating and attaching labels, etc.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a container with a closure according to the invention in the closed position
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the container according to FIG. 1 with the closure open
  • FIG. 4 shows a section through a closure on a container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a reusable container 1, which here consists for example of glass and can be filled with a good again and again and given to a consumer who returns it to the distributor when it is empty.
  • a closure unit 2 which consists of a first part 3, which is fixedly arranged on the container 1, and which also consists of a second part 4, which is arranged on the first part 3, for example via a connection 5, which is designed, for example, as a hinge is movably arranged.
  • the second part 4 has, for example, a recess or a profile 6 on the outside for its stiffening.
  • FIG. 2 shows the reusable container 1 from FIG. 1 with the closure unit 2 in the open position.
  • the first part 3 can be seen, which encloses an opening 7 in the reusable container 1 and is fastened in the region of this opening by a positive connection.
  • This first part 3 is connected to the second part 4 via a hinge 8 and the second part 4 is thus arranged to be movable in one direction on the first part 3.
  • the first part 3 and the second part 4 each have an essentially ring-shaped element 9 and 10, both of which come to lie next to one another in the closed state and, for example, one or more sealing surfaces 11, 12, 13 and 11 ', 12', 13 ' exhibit.
  • the first part 3 consists, for example, of a first plastic with certain properties such as elasticity, color, etc.
  • the second part 4 consists, for example, of a second plastic with similar properties, but for example with a different color, etc.
  • a region in the second part 4 can also be used the material of the first part 3 exist.
  • Such an area is designated 14 here. If the two parts 3 and 4 are connected to one another by a film hinge as shown here, the area 14 is also connected to the first part 3. This area 14 then serves to anchor the first part 3 to the second part 4.
  • a further connection 30 is provided which is destroyed when the first and the second part are detached from each other for the first time, or when the closure unit for the first time. is opened.
  • This further connection 30 consists, for example, of a very thin web or a membrane or skin, which consists, for example, of the material that occurs in both parts.
  • This connection 30 thus consists of the first plastic and in particular connects the annular element 9 via an edge to the region 14. Remnants of a torn skin 30 'are indicated here via one of these edges.
  • one or more points 15 can be provided on the first part 3, which are shaped in such a way that the second part 4 can snap into the first part 3. This creates a releasable positive connection with which the second part 4 can be held on the first part 3 in the closed position after the first opening.
  • a predetermined breaking point that is clearly visible from the outside can also be provided, as is identified by the numbers 16a and 16b.
  • This predetermined breaking point 16 breaks when the closure unit 2 is opened for the first time. If the first part 3 and the second part 4 have different colors, this predetermined breaking point can be recognized particularly well by the user.
  • a cam 17 can also be provided, which is shaped and deviates from a circular arc shape in such a way that the second part 4 is held in the position shown relative to the first part 3.
  • the cam 17 is supported, for example, on the edge 18.
  • profile or reinforcement elements 19 are also visible, which reinforce the second part in a targeted manner, so that it can also have softer and deformable points where it is desired. Such locations are desired, for example, in the area of the sealing surfaces 11, 12, 13, 11 ', 12', 13 '.
  • the closure unit 2 thus has two seals. One is formed by the sealing surfaces mentioned, the other seal is formed by the connection 30.
  • Figure 3 shows a section through a container with a closure unit as shown in Figure 1.
  • the container 20 can be seen with an opening
  • the first part 23 of the closure unit 22 is fastened to this edge or to the opening 21. It forms approximately a collar that extends beyond the opening 21.
  • the second part 24 is placed on the first part and is connected here to the first part 23 via a film hinge 25. A region 26 of the first part 23 reaches into the second part 24 via this film hinge 25.
  • This can be achieved using the multi-material casting technique, for example first the first part 23 is cast and then the second part 24 is cast in the partially identical mold, which is now also formed by the first part.
  • the two parts interlock.
  • further areas 27 can be created, which can, for example, identify the closure or the container. For example, you can display brands, fonts, etc.
  • a handle 28 is also provided on the second part 24, on which the part 24 can be gripped and opened, an area 29 of the film hinge bending.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further section through a closure unit of the type represented, for example, by FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the cut lies approximately parallel to a plane in which the opening 31 of the container lies.
  • Areas of a first part 33 and a second part 34 from which the closure unit 32 is composed can also be seen.
  • Two pins 36a and 36b are provided as the hinge 35, which lie on an axis 37 and are fastened to the second part 34 and protrude into corresponding recesses 36c and 36d in the first part 33.
  • Such hinges can also be produced by the multi-material casting technology, the recesses 36c, d acting as a casting mold for the pins 36a, b.
  • the first part of the closure unit can also be shaped in such a way that it has a spout or it can additionally be provided with a filter or be provided with a membrane which is destroyed when it is opened for the first time and which, like a skin, covers the entire opening of the reusable container.
  • sealing surfaces can in particular be formed by the surfaces 11, 11 ', or 12, 12' or 13, 13 '. All of this can be taken into account in the corresponding design. Due to the arrangement of a hinge, the locking unit is always asymmetrical. This means that this asymmetry can be pushed further and can go so far that an absolutely original design is created. The invention thus opens up a wide field for the design of such container-closure combinations, which always leads to completely reusable combinations.
