Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure for tubes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Many closures or caps with tamper-evident protection for tubes or similar containers are known, for example from EP A2 460 557, EP AI 459 941.
  • tube closures are known which do not have to be completely unscrewed or removed to enable the contents of the tube to be expressed.
  • the closure which has a hole in the middle, is turned one or more turns. The edge of the hole mentioned stands out from a pin which closes it in the screwed state. This frees an annular gap through which the content of the tube, or of the container in general, runs out or can be actively expressed.
  • the object that is to be achieved with the present invention is to create a closure for tubes or soft plastic bottles, which does not have to be completely unscrewed in order to enable the contents to be expressed, and which is simple with an original ⁇ security fuse can be connected.
  • the solution to the problem is given in claim 1 with regard to the main features of the invention, in claims 2 to 9 for further refinements.
  • Fig. 4 A third embodiment in section.
  • the first embodiment is shown in Fig. La, b in section, in Fig. Lb in a plan view.
  • a tube body 1 carries - connected to it, for example by welding - a shoulder 2 which narrows upwards to form a tube neck 7.
  • This has an annular bead 4.
  • a closure cap 3 is divided into two concentric cylindrical parts 8, 9 and an end plate 10, the inner cylindrical part 9 fitting onto the tube neck 7 with little play and having an annular groove 5 corresponding to the annular bead 4.
  • Ring bead 4 and ring groove 5 are shaped such that the closure cap 3 can be pushed over the tube neck 7 by stretching the inner cylindrical part 9, but that it is no longer possible to pull off the closure cap 3 without destroying it.
  • the tube neck 7 is closed except for an eccentrically lying opening 6.
  • the opening 6 is tightly closed by the end plate 10.
  • the outer structure of the closure cap 3 does not have to have the shape shown, but can be designed to be flat, convex or concave with respect to the end plate 10; furthermore, the transition from the end plate 10 to the outer cylindrical part 8 can be a gradual one; nor does the outer cylindrical part 8 really have to have a cylindrical shape: polygonal configurations are also conceivable and form a question of taste, not a technical one.
  • the opening 6 is offset, but at the same distance from the axis of the tube neck 7, a downwardly closed, upwardly open cylinder 11 is formed, which contains a ball 13 pressed upward by a coil spring 12.
  • the ball 13 is movable with play in the cylinder 11 and closes - in the position according to FIGS. La, b - an opening 14 in the closure cap 3, which opening 14 is shaped like a segment of a spherical shell.
  • the closure cap 3 If some of its content is to be removed from the tube, the closure cap 3 is rotated by the angle ⁇ .
  • the end plate 10 presses the ball 13 downward against the resistance of the coil spring 12; the opening 14 in the cap 3 comes to rest over the opening 6: the contents of the tube can be removed.
  • the ball 13 closes the opening 14 again, and any remnants of the tube contents can be removed from the ball with a finger.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective phantom representation of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. La, b.
  • a ring 17 is inserted, which is connected via a strip 19 and a break point 18 to a tab located outside the sealing cap 3.
  • the predetermined breaking point 18 lies directly inside the recess 16.
  • the dimensions of the flap 20 are larger than the width of the recess 16.
  • the thickness of the material of this tamper-evident device, consisting of the parts designated 17 to 20, preferably corresponds to the height of the recess 16.
  • the flap 20 can be provided with price, product information and expiry date, for example. Without tearing the predetermined breaking point 18, the closure cap 3 cannot be rotated and the closure cap 3 otherwise they are blown off the tube only with the use of force and their destruction.
  • the design described has the effect that the strip 19 does not hinder the rotation of the closure cap 3 after the flap 20 has been torn off - that is to say after the tamper-evident device has been breached. Furthermore, it is not possible to put the tab 20 back into the recess 16 in order to simulate originality.
  • the ring 17 is so large that the predetermined breaking point 18 comes to lie between the outer edge of the ring 17 and the tab 20, the strip 19 being omitted.
  • the tamper-evident device shown in FIG. 2 is preferably made of cardboard. This enables cost-effective production, problem-free printing and easy integration during the closing process.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment. Instead of the ball 13 from FIG. 1, there is a ball part 21, which is connected via an annular spring joint 22 to the front end of the tube neck 7 and is produced in the same injection mold. The remaining parts and designs correspond to those of FIGS. 1 and 2. When the closure cap 3 is rotated, the spherical part 21 is pressed downward against the resilience of the spring joint 22. The parts 17 to 20 representing the tamper-proof are unchanged both in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 4 and are no longer described.
  • FIG. 4 a, b Another embodiment is shown in Fig. 4 a, b.
  • the end of the tube neck 7, with undiminished wall thickness has an attachment in the form of a spherical segment 23.
  • the end plate 10 is made thinner in a central area 24 than the rest of the end plate 10. If the closure cap 3 is rotated, the end plate 10 gives upward in the area 24 until the spherical segment 23 into a spherical segment-shaped bulge 25 in Area 24 of the end plate 10 snaps into place.
  • This bulge 25 is also offset by an angle ⁇ with respect to the opening 14 in the closure cap 3, so that the ball segment 23 engages in the bulge 25 in the same position of the closure cap 3 as the release of the Opening 6 in the tube neck 7 through the opening 14 in the end cap 3.
  • the tube which is provided with the closure according to the invention, remains essentially closed.
  • the tube closure according to the invention is suitable for any purpose or content.

Abstract

La fermeture de tube objet de l'invention se compose d'un col de tube cylindrique (7). Dans le col de tube (7) se trouve un cylindre (11) disposé excentriquement qui loge un ressort cylindrique (12). Sur le ressort cylindrique (12) repose une bille (13) qui se déplace dans le cylindre (11) avec un certain jeu. Le col (7) du tube est fermé vers le haut jusqu'à un orifice (6). Cet orifice (6) est lui-même disposé excentriquement et son axe est à la même distance de l'axe du col (7) du tube que l'axe du cylindre (11) et il est décalé d'un angle alpha par rapport à l'axe de ce cylindre (11). Le tube est fermé par un capuchon (3) qui se subdivise en une partie cylindrique extérieure (8) et une partie cylindrique intérieure (9) qui présente une rainure circulaire (5) adaptée au renflement circulaire (4) du col de tube (7). L'originalité de la fermeture consiste en un dispositif de sécurité qui est constitué d'une bague (17), d'une bande (19) reliée à cette bague et d'une languette (20) se trouvant à l'extérieur du capuchon (3).
