Definitions

  • the invention relates to an attachment to be arranged on the neck of tubes, bottles or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a generic attachment to tubes, bottles or the like, in which the lower part forming the bristle body can be laid as close as possible to the area of the neck attachment, with a compact, space-saving design of such order packs.
  • the minimum axial length required for a safe assignment of the lower part is sensibly used for accommodating the internal thread of the closure cap.
  • the cap is also more manageable. Ergonomically, it can be grasped better than a long, cup-like structure.
  • a tight fit of the parts to be connected is achieved by simple means in that the outer surface of the pot wall has a throat for snapping the neck of the tube or the like. The corresponding snap bead is molded onto the latter.
  • the procedure is such that a stepped end portion of the mandrel enters the collar.
  • the mandrel is hollow and designed as a retraction of the top of the cap.
  • a corresponding hollow mandrel is more flexible and also proves to be more adaptable with regard to different mouth openings due to tolerances.
  • a valve plate is formed in the collar. The latter forms an insurmountable barrier for the medium to be applied. In the downward position of the mouth opening, the contents do not leak out in an uncontrolled manner. Rather, what is needed is a deliberate displacement by loading the wall of the tube or the like. In this way, brushing can be carried out without the filling contents inevitably escaping.
  • the invention proposes that the jacket wall of the collar has an engagement groove for the perforated edge of a transverse wall of the neck of the tube or the like. In this way there is an additional anchoring for the lower part, namely in its central area. This anchorage is also in the same cross-sectional plane as the pot rim and the internal thread. Finally, it is advantageous that the lower area of the pot wall, that is, the rim of the pot, enters an annular groove in the neck. Such a configuration also serves to secure the clip connection lying somewhat above it between the lateral surface of the pot wall and the corresponding surface of the neck.
  • the tube 1 for example containing a textile cleaning agent, shoe polish or similar spreading agent, is made of plastic and can be compressed to discharge the medium.
  • the floor area is thermally closed, for example.
  • the weld seam bears the reference symbol 2.
  • the shoulder protrusion is only slight.
  • the neck 4 is covered by an assignable attachment A.
  • Components of this attachment are a pot-shaped lower part 5, which can be assigned to the neck 4 by means of the clip connection, and a closure cap 6 which grips this in the closed position of the tube.
  • material is used which is optimally suitable for the formation of upright, bristle-like coating bodies 7 which are molded onto the lower part in the same way.
  • the closure cap 6 forms a protective space 8 which overlaps this coating body 7.
  • the practically from the ceiling 5 'of the pot-shaped lower part 5 spreading body 7 have an interruption in the central region (bristle recess 33).
  • a mandrel extending from the bottom of the cap 9.
  • the latter is hollow and realized as a retraction 10 starting from the top 6 'of the cap 6.
  • the mouth opening 11 is formed in the region of a collar 12.
  • the latter extends in the same direction as the tube-facing indentation 10 and closes with its free end essentially at the same level as the end edge 13 'of the basically cylindrical pot wall 13 of the lower part 5.
  • the entering into the cylindrical opening 11 formed by the collar 12, the end 9 'of the mandrel 9 is offset from the tube-side weakly funnel-shaped indentation 10.
  • the shoulder which seals onto the upper edge of the mouth opening 11 bears the reference number 14.
  • the lateral surface of the pot wall 13 has a throat 15 at a medium height. The latter extends all around.
  • a protrusion 16 snaps into the corresponding inner surface of the neck 4.
  • the projection 16 is realized as an annular bead. Its top and bottom flanks are broken. This and a chamfer on the lower outer edge of the pot wall 13 facilitate the assignment of the brush body.
  • the lower region of the pot rim enters, as shown in FIG. 2, into an annular groove 17 of the neck 4.
  • This annular groove 17 is delimited on the outside by the lower section of the neck 4 rooted in the edge 3 of the tube 1 and below by a section 18 'One of the tube 1 delimiting transverse wall 18 and directed inward by a parallel to the neck 4, from the section 18' of the transverse wall 18 outgoing ring wall 19.
  • the ring groove side upper edge is chamfered, so that the pot edge is well deflected where it is in rest supported under closing load of the clip connection on the ring wall 19.
  • the transverse wall 18 runs practically horizontally only in the region of the annular groove 17, ie. H. perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis x-x of the tube; on the inside of the ring wall 19, it rises in a funnel shape in the direction of the closure cap 6, approximately up to the middle height of the collar 12.
  • the jacket wall of the collar 12 forms an engagement groove 20.
  • the edge 21 of this correspondingly perforated transverse wall 18 snaps into place , so that there is a connection point between the lower part 5 and the neck 4 of the tube 1 not only in the peripheral area of the lower part 5, but also in the central area of the same.
  • the central collar 12 which acts like a hollow locking pin, its lower outer edge is chamfered.
  • the correspondingly conical inlet clearly results from the graphic representation in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5.
  • the concavity 22 created by closing the transverse wall 18 on the closure cap side accommodates the protruding section of the collar 12; the latter does not protrude into the interior 1 'of the tube 1, so that the squeezing or folding of the tube body does not experience any hindrance, so the content can be dispensed practically without residue.
  • the flank of the engaging groove 20 on the inside of the container is chamfered, whereas the flank on the outside of the container is steep; it runs perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis x-x and at a short distance above the ring zone of the transverse wall 18, which is folded back into the horizontal.
  • the opening for the collar 12 has the reference symbol 23.
  • the assignment of the closure cap 6 takes place via thread engagement.
  • the lower, inner edge region of the closure cap wall 24 has an internal thread 25.
  • the corresponding counter thread 26 is located on the jacket wall of the neck 4. This assignment is such that the cup wall 13 and the internal thread 25 lie opposite one another on the same cross-sectional plane.
  • Central locking and peripheral locking are thus accommodated on a relatively short axial section y, which is somewhat shorter than the length of the Brush body 7 or approximately one fifth of the diameter D of the attachment A corresponds.
  • the ceiling 5 'of the lower part 5 projects beyond the outer surface of the pot wall 13 in such a way that an annular ceiling support edge 27 engages over the end edge 28 of the neck 4.
  • This pot-supporting overlap position is secured by a sealing bead 29 lying on the inner wall of the closure cap 6 and resting on the edge zone 27 at the top. The latter closes flat on the inside with the inner surface of the neck.
  • the underside of the sealing bead 29 is chamfered.
  • the edge zone also has a corresponding bevel.
  • the collar 12 has a valve disk 30 on the inside.
  • the latter is formed as a valve flap in the upper, somewhat larger cross-section of the collar, so it starts from an undercut shoulder edge 12 'of this collar.
  • a molded part on the tube side serves as the joint. It is a narrow gusset 31. This starts from the underside of the valve plate 30 and is rooted in the reduced-cross-section zone of the inner wall of the collar 12.
  • an even larger opening angle results from a conical shape of the valve plate , as it is already favored by the gradation in the area of the shoulder edge.
  • the metered filling content pushes through the collar as a guide channel via the mouth opening 11 into the area of the central bristle recess 33, where it is distributed by brush movement and released to the coating surface.
