Abstract

The invention relates to decorative caps for bottle tops. The decorative caps are pressed onto the screw caps with a positive fit, said screw caps being provided with axially parallel studs. Screw caps with varying numbers of studs are available on the market and up until now, this has created problems for the producers of decorative caps, who had to produce different tools for manufacturing the decorative caps accordingly. According to the invention, the decorative caps are produced with a considerably smaller number of axially parallel studs (13-20). These easily-yielding studs each fit into the areas between the studs of the screw cap.

Description

1 Zierkappe für Flaschenverschluß 1 decorative cap for bottle stopper
Technisches GebietTechnical field
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zierkappe für einen Flaschenverschluß, insbesondere einen Schraubverschluß für Sektflaschen. Diese aus Kunststoff bestehenden Zierkappen sind formschlüssig und verdrehungssicher mit der aus Metall bestehenden Schraubkappe verbunden.The invention relates to a decorative cap for a bottle cap, in particular a screw cap for champagne bottles. These decorative caps made of plastic are positively and non-rotatably connected to the metal screw cap.
Aus dem Patent DE 28 16 811 ist ein Flaschenverschluß bekannt geworden, der aus einer topfförmigen Schraubkappe und einer formschlüssig damit verbundenen Abdeckung besteht. Das Patent zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Abdeckung am unteren Rand einen Kragen aufweist, der den Gewindeteil der Schraubkappe überragt und mit einer nach innen vorspringen Lippe versehen ist. Diese Lippe soll am Flaschenhals unmittelbar anliegen, um das Eindringen von Schmutz zu verhindern.From the patent DE 28 16 811 a bottle stopper has become known which consists of a cup-shaped screw cap and a cover connected to it in a form-fitting manner. The patent is characterized in that the cover has a collar at the lower edge which projects beyond the threaded part of the screw cap and is provided with a lip projecting inwards. This lip should be in direct contact with the bottle neck to prevent dirt from entering.
Um die Flasche gegen die Haltekraft eines Abreißringes öffnen zu können, muß von Hand ein beachtliches Drehmoment aufgebracht werden, das von der Abdeckung oder Zierkappe auf die Schraubkappe übertragen werden muß. Um die Mitnahmewirkung zwischen Abdeckung und Schraubkappe zu verbessern wird vorgeschlagen, den Kragen innen mit Axialrippen zu versehen, die in entsprechende Kerben des Gewindeteiles der Schraubkappe greifen.In order to be able to open the bottle against the holding force of a tear-off ring, considerable torque must be applied by hand, which must be transferred from the cover or decorative cap to the screw cap. In order to improve the entraining effect between the cover and the screw cap, it is proposed to provide the inside of the collar with axial ribs which engage in corresponding notches in the threaded part of the screw cap.
Am Markt sind Schraubkappen aus dünnem Leichtmetallblech weit verbreitet, die oberhalb des Gewindebereiches eine Zone mit sehr vielen achsparallelen Stegen und Kerben aufweisen. Je nach Hersteller sind zum Beispiel 38 oder 44 Stege üblich. Es gibt aber auch noch andere Stegzahlen.Screw caps made of thin light metal sheet are widespread on the market, which have a zone above the thread area with a large number of axially parallel bars and notches. Depending on the manufacturer, 38 or 44 webs are common. But there are also other numbers of bars.
Für den Hersteller der Zierkappen, die aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff gespritzt werden, ergab sich bisher die Schwierigkeit, daß er sich mit seinen recht teuren Spritzwerkzeugen den Stegzahlen der Kappenhersteller anpassen mußte. Ein weiterer Nachteil ergibt sich in der Handhabung dadurch, daß man bei an sich sehr großer Ähnlichkeit der Verschlüsse darauf achten muß, daß z.B. Zierkappen mit 38 Stegen nicht auf Gewindekappen mit 44 Kerben aufgepreßt werden und umgekehrt. 2 Darstellung der ErfindungFor the manufacturer of the decorative caps, which are injection molded from a thermoplastic plastic, there has been the difficulty that he had to adapt to the number of bars of the cap manufacturers with his rather expensive injection molds. A further disadvantage in handling arises from the fact that, with the closures being very similar, care must be taken to ensure that, for example, decorative caps with 38 webs are not pressed onto threaded caps with 44 notches and vice versa. 2 Presentation of the invention
Der Erfinder hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Zierkappe zu schaffen, die formschlüssig auf verschiedene übliche Schraubkappen paßt und mit diesen einen Flaschenverschluß bildet, der die angesetzten Drehmomente sicher übertragen kann. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Zierkappe an der Innenseite des hohlzylindrischen Bereiches eine wesentlich kleinere Anzahl von Stegen aufweist, die sich zwischen den Stegen der Schraubkappe festsetzen.The inventor has set himself the task of creating a decorative cap that fits positively on various conventional screw caps and forms a bottle cap with them, which can safely transmit the applied torques. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the decorative cap has a much smaller number of webs on the inside of the hollow cylindrical region, which are fixed between the webs of the screw cap.
Beschreibung der ZeichnungenDescription of the drawings
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand von Fig. 1 und 2 der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing.
Fig. 1 stellt die Innenansicht der Zierkappe dar,1 shows the inside view of the decorative cap,
Fig. 2 einen Teilschnitt der Seitenansicht.Fig. 2 is a partial section of the side view.
Die neuartige Zierkappe weist einen hohlzylindrischen Teil 1 auf, der nach oben hin in einen ungefähr halbkugelfόrmigen Bereich 2 übergeht. Der gewölbte Deckel 3 ist durch sechs radiale Stege 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 versteift.The novel decorative cap has a hollow cylindrical part 1 which merges into an approximately hemispherical area 2. The domed cover 3 is stiffened by six radial webs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Von einem äquatorialen Ring 10 sind meridianartige Stege 11, 12 nach oben geführt. Zur Erhöhung der Griffigkeit sind solche Stege rund um über die Oberfläche verteilt. Im zylindrischen Bereich des Innenraumes sind acht achsparallele Stege 13 - 20 vorgesehen, die so elastisch sind, daß sie sich in den nächstliegenden Nuten der Schraubkappe verkeilen.Meridian-like webs 11, 12 are guided upwards from an equatorial ring 10. To increase the grip, such webs are distributed all over the surface. In the cylindrical area of the interior, eight axially parallel webs 13-20 are provided, which are so elastic that they wedge in the closest grooves of the screw cap.
Gewerbliche VerwertbarkeitCommercial usability
Da auf dem Markt der Schraubkappen für Getränkeflaschen nicht damit zu rechnen ist, daß sich die Hersteller auf eine bestimmte Anzahl von achsparallelen Stegen einigen könnten, ist es für den Abfüllbetrieb oder den Hersteller kompletter Verschlüsse eine große Erleichterung, wenn eine einzige, auf verschiedene Schraubverschlüsse passende Zierkappe zur Verfügung steht.Since it is not to be expected on the market for screw caps for beverage bottles that the manufacturers could agree on a certain number of axially parallel bars, it is a great relief for the bottling company or the manufacturer of complete closures if a single one fits different screw caps Decorative cap is available.
Die neuartige Zierkappe ist dazu bestimmt, in großen Stückzahlen hergestellt und in der Getränkeindustrie eingesetzt zu werden. Sie ist weiterhin dadurch kostensparend, als Verwechslungen beim Einsatz unterschiedlicher Schraubkappen ausgeschlossen werden. BezugszeichenlisteThe new decorative cap is designed to be manufactured in large quantities and used in the beverage industry. It is also cost-saving, as confusion when using different screw caps is excluded. Reference list
