Abstract
The inventive closure includes an annular part, to which a lid is joined by a hinge, and a the spout that is pushed inside the annular part. When pushing the spout into the annular part, the edge of the spout abuts against segments and is thus brought into the optimal drop-preventing shape. When closing the lid, the air in the slot can escape through the outlets so that it does not impede the closing or have the tendency to open the closure. Also during closing, the upper end of the spout comes into contact with the supporting surfaces, which are arranged in an interspaced manner inside the slot, whereby remaining liquid can be accommodated in the cavities.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Swiss Application 2000 2303/00 filed in Switzerland on Nov. 27, 2000, and under 35 U.S.C. §120 to PCT/EP01/12955 filed as an International Application on Nov. 9, 2001, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field
- The invention relates to a closure of flexible plastic for containers, in particular bottles, having a ring which has means for securing it to the container neck, having a lid which is joined to the ring by means of a hinge and has a stopper that is surrounded on the upper end by an annular slot, having a tubular spout, which can be introduced sealingly by its lower end into the container neck and on the upper end has a drip-preventing edge of the spout, which when the closure is closed engages the annular slot of the lid.
- 2. Background Information
- One such closure is disclosed in a one-piece embodiment in Spanish patent disclosure EP-A-9103392, for instance. Two-piece versions are described in European patent disclosure EP 0 685 406, Spanish Utility Model 87024456, Brazilian Utility Model 7400915, and in French patent disclosure FR-A-2749565 and BR-A-9605553 that corresponds to it.
- This known prior art will now be described in further detail in conjunction with FIGS.1-4. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a known closure is shown, of the kind found in EP-A-0 685 406, Spanish Utility Model 9103392 and Brazilian Utility Model 7400915. This closure has a
ring 11, which has means 13 for securing it to thecontainer neck 15. Thelid 17 is joined to thering 11 by means of ahinge 19 and has astopper 21, which is surrounded on the upper end by anannular slot 23. Thetubular spout 25 is embodied as a separate part. Thespout 25 can be introduced sealingly by itslower end 27 into thecontainer neck 15. On theupper end 28, it has a drip-preventingedge 29 of the spout, which when the closure is closed (FIG. 2) engages theannular slot 23. - The
edge 29 of the spout has the usual shape, which can be described by saying that the edge is curved outward and downward. - The
spout 25 has acollar 31, which in cross section, together with the outlet wall, has the shape of an inverted U. - When the closure is seated on the
neck 15 of the bottle, various sealing points exist, namely between thelower part 27 of thespout 25 and the inner wall of thecontainer neck 15; between thecollar 31 and the upper end of theneck 15 of the bottle; between thestopper 21 and the inner wall of thespout 25; and between thebottom 24 of theslot 23 and theupper portion 28 of thespout 25. - In FR-A-2 749 565 (BOER-A-9605553), an improvement in the seal between the spout and the lid is proposed, as will now be described in further detail in conjunction with FIG. 3. An
annular flange 35 is disposed coaxially to thestopper 21, so that between them anannular slot 23 is formed. When the closure is closed, thisslot 23 fittingly receives theupper end 23 of thespout 25, whereupon theend 28 of the spout comes to rest, or is intended to come to rest, on thebottom 24 of theslot 23. A disadvantage of this is that when the closure is closed after use of the container, air remains caught in theannular slot 23, becomes compressed, and has the tendency to reopen the closure. The same is correspondingly true for liquid residues, such as oil, adhering to thespout 25 after liquid has been poured out. To counteract the tendency to unwanted opening, this reference proposes the provision of a snap device of the kind disclosed for instance by FR-A-2706425. This known device is shown in FIG. 4. The locking of thelid 17 is provided by thebead 41, which extends annularly around thestopper 21 and which upon closure of thelid 17 is thrust over theannular bead 43 in the interior of thespout 25. A disadvantage of this is that a relatively great expenditure of force is required for closure. Another disadvantage is that such beads make mold construction more expensive and unmolding of the closures more difficult, because the beads have to be pulled out of the indentations in the mold. - The present invention is directed to improving a closure of the generic type defined at the outset. In particular, a closure is to be created that is simple in design and nevertheless assures secure closure. According to the invention, in a closure of the type defined at the outset, this is attained in that the annular slot has at least one outlet. Upon closure of the closure, the air in the annular slot can flow out through this outlet, so that an overpressure having the tendency to lift the lid off again cannot be created in the slot.
- Expediently, the annular slot is formed by the space between the stopper and an annular flange disposed coaxially to the stopper. This makes it possible for the respective outlet to be formed by a slit in the annular flange.
- Advantageously, the diameter of the spout measured via the edge of the spout is somewhat greater than the outer diameter dn of the annular slot. Upon insertion of the spout into the annular closure part, the edge of the spout therefore enters into contact with the annular flange and is bent downward. As a result, it is given an optimal shape, which in use of the container acts to prevent dripping.
- Expediently, supporting surfaces for the spout are provided, spaced apart from one another, on the bottom of the annular slot. Because these supporting surfaces are in contact with the spout, when the closure is placed on the container, the forces acting on the lid are transmitted to the spout. Since the spout rests only on these supporting surfaces, there is an interstice between the upper end of the closure and the bottom of the slot, in which small residues of liquid that might be adhering to the spout find space, so that they do not escape from the outlet.
- A collar on the spout can be provided, which when the closure is placed on the container neck comes to rest on the end of the container neck. The lid advantageously has inner cuffs which rest on the collar when the closure is closed. These cuffs likewise serve to transmit the force from the lid to the spout when the closure is placed on the container.
- The closure can be made in one piece or two pieces. In the two-piece version, the tubular spout is inserted as a separate part into the ring.
- As in the prior art described in the introduction, it can have a proof-of-originality strip that can be broken off.
- One exemplary embodiment of the invention will now be described in conjunction with the drawing. For better comprehension of the invention, however, the known prior art has been described above in conjunction with FIGS.1-4. Shown schematically and not to scale are:
- FIG. 1, a known two-piece closure in the open state;
- FIG. 2, the closure of FIG. 1 in the closed state;
- FIG. 3, a known refinement of the closure of FIGS. 1 and 2;
- FIG. 4, a further known closure with a snap device;
- FIG. 5, a section through an exemplary embodiment of the closure of the invention after it has been placed on a container neck;
- FIG. 6, a view of the closure of FIG. 5 from below, but without the spout inserted;
- FIG. 7, a section not to scale taken along the line A-A in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8, a section not to scale taken along the line B-B in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 9, a section not to scale taken along the line C-C in FIG. 6; and
- FIG. 10, the insertion of the spout into the other closure part.
- The closure in the exemplary embodiment of FIGS.5-9 has a design similar to the known closure that has been described above in conjunction with FIGS. 1-3. The exemplary embodiment has a two-piece embodiment. However, it would also be possible to make the closure in one piece. The closure has a
ring 11, which has means 13 for fastening to thecontainer neck 15. Thelid 17 is joined to thering 11 by means of ahinge 19 and has astopper 21. Thetubular spout 25 is inserted as a separate part into thering 11 and after the insertion forms a unit with the ring. Such units are used for closing the containers. The fastening means 13 engage thecontainer neck 15, and thespout 25 rests sealingly with itslower end 27 on the inner wall of thecontainer neck 15. - The
spout 25 on itsupper end 28, has a drip-preventingedge 29 of the spout, which has the usual shape, that is, is curved outward and downward. In the production of thespout 25, the diameter dv measured via theedges 29 of the spout can be made somewhat larger than the outer diameter dn of theslot 23. When the closure is put together, theedge 29 of the spout therefore strikes theflange 35 and thus put into the optimal drip-preventing shape (FIG. 10). Thespout 25 has acollar 31, which together with the spout wall has the form of an inverted U. After the closure is put in place, thecollar 31 rests on theupper end 33 of the container neck. Agrid 34 that serves to regulate the flow is embodied in the interior of thespout 25 in a known manner. - An
annular flange 35 is disposed on thelid 17, coaxially with the stopper, so that anannular slot 23 is formed between thestopper 21 and theflange 35. - In contrast to the prior art described at the outset, however, there is at least one outlet or slit45. As FIG. 6 shows, this outlet can for instance be embodied as an opening in the
annular flange 35. In the exemplary embodiment shown, sixsuch outlets 45 or openings are provided, so that theannular flange 35 is divided into sixsegments 47. - As FIG. 6 in combination with FIG. 9 shows, supporting
surfaces 50 for theupper end 28 of thespout 25 are located on the bottom 24 of theslot 23, spaced apart from one another. As FIGS. 7 and 8 show, between theupper end 28 of thespout 25 and the bottom 24 there are thuscavities 49, in which any residual liquid adhering to theedge 29 of the spout can be received. In contrast to the prior art described, no sealing takes place between theend 28 and the bottom 24. It can be seen, however, that upon closure of thelid 17, no air remains caught in theslot 23 but instead can escape through theoutlets 45 between thesegments 47. -
Cuffs 52 are embodied on thelid 17, distributed over its circumference; when the closure is closed, they rest on thecollar 31. When the closure is placed on thecontainer neck 15, they have the task of transmitting forces from the lid to thecollar 31. - The exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 also shows a proof-of-
originality strip 55 that can be broken away. - In summary, the following can be stated:
- The closure comprises both the
annular part 11, to which alid 17 is pivotably connected by means of thehinge 19, and thespout 25 that is inserted into theannular part 11. When thespout 25 is inserted, theedge 29 of the spout strikes thesegments 47 and is thus put into the optimal drip-preventing shape. Upon closure of thelid 17, the air in the slot can escape through theoutlets 45, so that the air does not hinder the closing or have the tendency to open the closure. Moreover upon closing, theupper end 28 of thespout 25 comes into contact with the supportingsurfaces 50; which are spaced apart from one another in theslot 23, and any liquid residues can be held in thecavities 49. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restricted. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description and all changes that come within the meaning and range and equivalence thereof are intended to be embraced therein.
