Abstract
For the first time, a screw cap (1) is realized with which a tubular bag to which the screw cap (1) is attached can be opened by a self-cutting process and metered dispensing from a metering opening (31) is simultaneously realized. The screw cap (1) consists of a lower part (2), on which a spacing means (4), used in practical terms as transport protection, is placed, and onto which a cutting sleeve (3) with a lateral metering opening (31) is screwed. The container can be opened by means of the cutting sleeve (3) and thereafter its contents can be dispensed in a metered manner by means of a valve piston (5) that is guided in the cutting sleeve (3) by a screwing movement. In the closed state, the valve piston (5) reaches into the cylinder (30) of the cutting sleeve (3) underneath the metering opening (31) and seals the cylinder (30), which is open at both ends, off against the container that is welded to the flange (21) of the lower part (2).
Description
- The present invention relates to a screw cap, consisting of a lower part, which comprises a cylindrical threaded tubular section and a terminal flange for attaching to a closed container made from film material, and a cutting sleeve connected to the thread of the lower part by means of a threaded connection.
- Screw caps of the kind mentioned above have already been known since the late 1980s. For example, the European patent application EP 0328652 discloses such a cap. Further modifications thereto are disclosed, for example, by the U.S. Pat. No. 5,147,070, the WIPO patent application 99/62776, the WIPO patent application 2004/083055 and many others. Closures of this kind use entraining elements to drive the cutting sleeve, said elements being mounted to the bottom of the top surface of the screw cap. If said screw cap is unscrewed, the cutting sleeve moves simultaneously in a rotary motion which is in the same direction but has opposite axial displacement. In so doing, the cutting sleeve cuts open the closed container, wherein a combined perforating and cutting effect is employed.
- Closures of this kind have established themselves in the market and have become an integral part of closed receptacles made from film material. Said receptacles have been to date substantially manufactured from laminated film material which consists of a combination of plastic films, cardboard layers, an aluminum barrier layer and an inner sealing layer made from plastic film. Receptacles consisting of such multi-layer film material are relatively pressure-resistant and have been to date a main stay on the beverage market.
- Receptacles have only recently been manufactured from pure plastic film material, said receptacles being substantially more flexible and correspondingly sensitive to pressure. For that reason, not only beverages can now be packaged in such receptacles but also highly viscous liquids, thixotropic liquids or pourable solids. Such contents can in fact be dispensed in a metered manner by pressure being exerted on the receptacle when the closure is open and in so doing reducing the interior volume. A controlled, metered dispensing is, however, difficult to achieve. In particular if the receptacle is still practically completely full, the user has to lift the same. In so doing, a more or less strong pressure is automatically exerted on said receptacle depending on the weight of the filled receptacle. Because the screw cap is completely screwed off with the screw closures comprising a cutting sleeve known to date, the complete passageway in the cutting sleeve is open and the chance is extremely great that the liquid spills out merely by lifting the receptacle.
- A plurality of the most different shapes of metering closures is also available on the market. Said metering closures have metering openings, wherein the metering opening can correspondingly be opened or closed in a more or less strong manner or even wherein the feed to the metering opening can more or less be opened with, for example, a valve piston.
- Screw caps of the kind mentioned above, which have a cutting sleeve with which the container, on which the screw closure is mounted, can be severed and thereby opened, have not been provided up until now with a metering closure. It is now the aim of the present invention to remedy this situation.
- This aim is met by a screw cap of the kind mentioned at the beginning of the application, in which screw cap the cutting sleeve protrudes beyond the lower part and a lateral metering opening as well as an internal thread, in which a valve piston is situated that closes and opens the lateral metering opening, is located in the region where the cutting sleeve protrudes beyond the lower part. In so doing, the valve piston engages in a sealing manner into the cutting sleeve in the region below the lateral metering opening.
- Such a screw cap is preferably embodied such that the cutting sleeve is designed to have double walls below the lateral metering opening, comprising an unthreaded inner lateral wall having a terminal cutting edge and an outer lateral wall having internal thread which mesh with the thread on the lower part, and such that the outer lateral wall is shorter in an axial direction than the height of the cylindrical tubular section of the lower part. In this way, the cutting sleeve can now be grasped from the outside and actuated by hand independently of the screwing movement of a screw cap. Whereas the container can thus be opened while the screw cap is still closed, the danger does not exist that liquid is already squeezed out of the container during opening.
- Further advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention emerge from the additional dependent patent claims and their importance and mode of operation is explained in the description with reference to the attached drawings.
- A preferred exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is depicted in the drawings. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 shows the inventive screw cap in a perspective view prior to the initial use thereof. -
FIG. 2 shows the same screw cap in a perspective exploded view, whereas -
FIG. 3 shows the screw cap pursuant toFIG. 1 in a diametric vertical section after the actuation of the cutting sleeve in a closed state and -
FIG. 4 shows the same view of the screw cap in the maximally opened position. - The self-opening screw cap is denoted in its entirety with the reference numeral 1. The same screw cap could however be just as well referred to as a metering closure because the invention relates to a combination of a self-opening screw cap and a metering closure. The inventive screw cap consists of four components, namely a
lower part 2, a cutting sleeve 3, a spacing means 4 and avalve piston 5 which is designed as a rotary handle in the uppermost region, wherein only this part is visible in the assembled state. The screw cap of interest here is, as previously mentioned, mounted on a closed container made of film. To this end, thelower part 2 comprises an outwardly protruding,circumferential flange 21. The cutting sleeve 3 has alateral metering opening 31, which in this case is implemented relatively large as a square window. Prior to initial use, the spacing means 4 is still present, which can be embodied either as a spacing ring or as atamperproof strip 40. On the one hand, theterminal top surface 52 and on the other hand thecircumferential apron 53 which engages over the cutting sleeve in the upper region can be seen here as parts of the valve piston. Saidapron 53 serves as a gripping surface and is accordingly provided with ribbing 54. - The individual parts of said screw cap will now be described below in detail with reference to
FIG. 2 . - The
lower part 2 comprises a tubular section 20 at the bottom of which aflange 21 oriented radially outwards is integrally formed in a terminal position. An external thread 22 is applied to the outside of the tubular section 20. Thelower part 2 can be adhesively bonded or welded to the closed container. If the closed container relates particularly to a tubular bag made from plastic film, thelower part 2 is preferably welded to said tubular bag. This usually takes place by means of ultrasonic welding. A spacing means 4 can now be placed over the tubular section 20 of thelower part 2, said spacing means 4 approximately bridging the distance between theflange 21 and the external thread 22. In the example depicted here, the spacing means 4 is a spacing ring which can be pushed over the external thread with a slight amount of elongation. Prior to the initial opening of the container, saidspacing ring 40 must be removed. To this end, a pull-offtab 41 is integrally formed to saidspacing ring 40. - The next step entails unscrewing the cutting sleeve 3. The cutting sleeve 3 consists of a
cylinder 30 which is open at both ends and comprises alateral metering opening 31. The region above themetering opening 31 is referred to here as the valve cylinder region. The cutting sleeve 3 is double-walled below the metering opening 31. This double-walled region is denoted with thereference numeral 33. The inner lateral wall, which cannot be seen here, represents the linear continuation of the valve cylinder region 32. Said innerlateral wall 35 has cutting means 38 at the lower end, by means of which the closed container, on which the screw cap is mounted, can be cut open. Prior to the initial use of the screw cap, said cutting means 38 lie completely within the region of the tubular section 20 of thelower part 2. The outerlateral wall 34 of the double-walled region 33 can particularly be recognized inFIG. 2 . This outerlateral wall 34 runs concentrically about the innerlateral wall 35. Said outerlateral wall 34 has aninternal thread 36, which cannot be seen in this figure and which matches the external thread 22 of thelower part 2. Thespacing ring 40 ensures that the cutting means 38 do not inadvertently come into contact with the container prior to the initial use. Only if thisspacing ring 40 has been removed, is the cutting sleeve 3 able to move downwards by means of a screwing movement and thereby open the still closed container. To this end, the cutting sleeve 3 is rotated downwards in a clockwise direction. The double-walled region serves thereby as the gripping surface. - In
FIG. 2 , the internal thread in the valve cylinder region 32 can likewise not be seen. - The
valve piston 5 is embodied as ahollow cylinder 55 and has anexternal thread 56 on the upper end thereof, which matches theinternal thread 39 of the cutting sleeve. Thehollow cylinder 55 of thevalve piston 5 has acircumferential stop lip 51 which ensures that thevalve piston 5 cannot be completely screwed out of the cutting sleeve 3. In the maximally open position, saidcircumferential stop lip 51 strikes against the upper edge of the lateral metering opening. In addition, a circumferential groove can be located at the same height in the cutting sleeve 3, in which the stop lip engages in the uppermost position. - The function of the inventive screw cap will now be explained once again with reference to
FIGS. 3 and 4 . After the screw cap has now been assembled in the order depicted in the exploded view pursuant toFIG. 2 , the assembled screw cap is welded to the film of a tubular bag by means of a sonotrode which bears on theflange 21. Prior to the initial opening of the container, the spacing means 4 is first removed and the user then grips the outerlateral wall 34 and screws the cutting sleeve 3 downwards until the outerlateral wall 34 rests against theflange 21. In the process, the cutting means 38 is screwed downwards, pierces the film of the container and cuts a rondelle out of said film except for a residual area, said rondelle being simultaneously displaced to the side. A cam-like, outwardly protruding locking means 23 can be provided below the thread. At the same time, a retaininglug 34′ projecting to the inside can additionally be integrally formed on the lower edge of the outerlateral wall 34. The retaininglug 34′ engages below this cam-like locking means 23 and thereby secures this relative position of the cutting sleeve 3 relative to thelower part 2 after the initial use. This position depicted inFIG. 3 now forms the closed use position. Thehollow cylinder 55 of thevalve piston 5 now projects into the region of thecylinder 30, which is open at both ends, below themetering opening 31. At the same time, acircumferential sealing bead 37 presses in a sealing manner against the lowermost region of thehollow cylinder 55. - The user can now grasp the gripping area of the
apron 53 and rotate thevalve piston 5 upwards. In so doing, theexternal thread 56 on thehollow cylinder 55 runs in theinternal thread 39 of the cutting sleeve 3 above themetering opening 31. Below saidinternal thread 39 but above themetering opening 31, acircumferential sealing bead 60 oriented to the inside is mounted to the cutting sleeve 3. Thevalve piston 5 can be rotated upwards to such an extent that thecircumferential stop lip 51 comes to rest on the upper edge of themetering opening 31. In the example depicted here, a closed formed-outarea 61 is also provided diametrically opposite themetering opening 31. Said closed formed-outarea 61 is formed by the outerlateral wall 34, which is extended in an axial direction and on which, at the height of the upper edge of themetering opening 31, the connection of said outer lateral wall to the upper region of thecylinder 30, which is open at both ends, is established by ashoulder 62 oriented to the inside. - Instead of the closed formed-out
area 61, the outerlateral wall 34 can also be generally and circumferentially drawn up to the specifiedshoulder 62, which runs at the height of the upper edge of the metering opening. This is however not suitable in this case because during closing, a residual volume would be present below saidshoulder 62, from which a still considerable residual quantity of the contents would subsequently flow after closing. Such a subsequent flow of the contents cannot take place with the closed formed-outarea 61 selected here. The preferred embodiment depicted here comprising the closed configuration diametrically opposite themetering opening 31 can also be realized by means of injection molding with a single lateral slider.
