Definitions

  • the invention relates to a resealable pouring element for carton / plastic composite packs with a base body to be applied to the package in the region of an overcoated zone of weakening, a cover pivotally mounted at the end of the main body and an opening element pivotally mounted on the cover, with forced guiding elements between the base body and the opening element are arranged.
  • Reclosable pouring elements for beverage packs have been available on the market for a long time in a variety of designs. They usually consist of three parts, a main body, a lid and an opening element for the first time opening provided with such a pouring pack. Depending on the design, these can be screw caps or else those in which the lid is swung up (WO 97/46455 A1) or pulled out
  • the resealable pouring element according to WO 97/46455 A1 is disadvantageous in that the opening element has to be actuated separately after lifting the lid with the finger or another object.
  • pouring elements in which the opening element must be actuated by the folding up of the lid (WO 90/14280 or US 6,257,449 Bl).
  • WO 2005/077769 A1 also describes a pouring element with a lid and an opening element, in which the opening element is articulated on the Basic body is arranged. Since the opening element to be pivoted in this known pouring element when folding the lid down, power transmission means are necessary, for example, the use of a drawstring or meshing gears are described. It is readily apparent that the force to be introduced into the opening element must be enormously large, since the opening element must be pressed against the packing wall in its entire length in order to destroy it. Therefore, such a pouring element can be produced only with extremely high cost and associated costs.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a reclosable pouring available, which avoids the disadvantages described in more detail above and despite a low height reliable opening of the Packing and a defined exposure of the weakening zone ensures.
  • the opening element initially performs a "forward movement" when the lid is raised and thus, due to the corresponding positive guiding elements on the base element, moves into the weakened zone with a “digging” movement, where it reliably destroys the composite PE film and aluminum foil leads. Because the opening element is not fastened to the cover itself, but rather to a web projecting from the cover as a lever, the entire front part of the opening element pivots relatively strongly into the PE / aluminum material to be destroyed and ensures that a sufficiently large pouring opening is exposed , which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the invention has recognized that an optimal power transmission for initiating the opening process of the container when opening the lid is ensured by the positive guide elements used on the lid and / or opening element. This is achieved in particular in that the opening element is not easy in the Packing material pivots into it, but performs a superimposed linear and rotational movement.
  • all positive guidance elements are detected by the present invention, even if only the preferred embodiment is provided with guide rails provided on the base element and sliding elements provided on the opening element. It is also possible within the scope of the invention to make the arrangement reversed, or to use other known in the art positive guide elements. It is thus possible, for example, not to design opening elements as a more or less flat plate, but in a wavy form, wherein the lateral edges of this wavy plate can then serve directly as guide rails.
  • the positive guide elements are arranged on the inside of the main body lateral guide elements corresponding to corresponding guide elements of the opening element, and the other positive guide elements as the base body obliquely arranged lateral guide elements, which correspond with corresponding further sliding elements of the opening element formed.
  • lever extending from the lid is designed as a web. This can be realized in a simple way, a particularly good power transmission.
  • the web extends with the lid closed essentially up to the contact plane of the flange (underside of the pouring element) zoom. This is how to achieve the greatest leverage.
  • the opening element at least in the region which is swung out of the plane of the underside of the pouring element, has a circumferential cutting edge. In this way, it is reliably ensured that the overcoat in the region of the weakened zone can be cut cleanly and removed from the pouring opening.
  • the cutting edge may consist of a plurality of adjacent teeth. This embodiment is particularly favorable, as can be reliably prevented by the perforation by means of several puncture points a strong elongation of the overcoat before tearing.
  • the guide elements are designed on the main body as a sliding guide. As a result, a forced operation of the opening element is achieved when folding the lid in a simple manner.
  • both the cover on the base body and the opening element are attached to the outgoing from the cover web by means of a film hinge.
  • the opening element can be latched in its open position with the main body, so that a re-establishment of the opening element and thus a closure of the opening area during the Ausg cordvorganges is reliably excluded. In this way, a defined pouring opening is always present.
  • the opening element can be latched to the base body before the first opening. This possibility serves to protect against accidental opening, in particular during the transport of containers provided with the pouring element according to the invention.
  • the term "locking" in the sense of the invention not only a positive connection is understood, but it is also conceivable that the opening element is connected to one or more thin webs of material with the body, which are destroyed when first opened ensure that the opening element is damaged or destroyed by vibration or the like before the first intentional opening of the package, the underlying film.
  • the latching takes place by means cooperating with the sliding elements of the opening element arranged on the inside of the body clamping cam.
  • the cover can be latched in the open and / or closed state with the base body.
  • a locking in the closed state is expedient to signal to the consumer on the one hand (acoustically or haptically) that the container is tightly closed by the closed lid, so that, for example, when shaking no product can escape.
  • the latching can also be a sealing connection between the base body and the cover in order to reliably prevent the escape of the product or the ingress of air or the like.
  • a locking in the open state is expedient, since during pouring a contact of the lid with the product can be reliably prevented.
  • a tamper-evident seal is arranged between the base body and the lid. In this way, the consumer is signaled whether the pouring element has already been operated without authorization and the package has already been opened.
  • FIG. 3 shows the pouring element from FIG. 2 with the lid slightly raised
  • FIG. 4 shows the pouring element from FIG. 2 with the lid raised more
  • Fig. 6. the pouring of Fig. 1 in the open position.
  • FIG. 1 the reclosable pouring spout according to the invention is shown in perspective in the closed state. It can be seen clearly that the height of the pouring element is extremely low.
  • FIGS. different representations of closed (FIG. 2), slightly open (FIG. 3), more open (FIG. 4) to completely open (FIG. 5) are shown in FIGS. wherein the pouring element is cut vertically along the line II-II in Fig. 1 in order to better show the kinematic processes can.
  • the pouring element according to the invention consists in the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment initially and essentially a base body 1, a pivotally mounted at the end of the base body 1 cover 2 and a pivotally mounted on the lid 2 opening element 3.
  • the base body 1 is with a peripheral around a pouring orifice O flange 4 above a weakening zone - not shown - container, preferably one Cardboard / plastic composite pack attached.
  • the lid 2 is pivotally connected to the base body 1 via a film hinge 5.
  • a projecting into the interior of the body 1 and acting as a lever web 6 is provided on the underside of the lid 2, at the lower end of the opening element 3 is fixed, in the preferred embodiment with a film hinge. 7
  • Guide elements 8A and 8B are now provided inside the main body 1 according to the invention, the position of which is particularly evident through the sectional representation in FIGS. 2 to 5.
  • the opening element 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, laterally arranged sliding elements 9A and 9B, which together with the guide elements 8A and 8B as a slotted guide serve.
  • Embodiment as a plurality of adjacent teeth 10 is executed.
  • the opening element After the first piercing of the opening element 3 in the over-coated weakening zone and further folding up of the lid 2 (see Fig. 4), the opening element is not only pulled backwards, but moved over the guide elements 8A and corresponding sliding elements 9A down into the package interior, so that the area between the opening element 3 and the forwardly protruding basic body 1 gives a reliably defined pouring opening O, as can also be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 6, where the pouring element according to the invention is again shown completely in its open position.
  • the opening element 3 is connected to a container and also after the application, for example during transport, in a fixed position with the base body 1 before the application of the pouring element, there is a non-positive or positive connection of the two parts.
  • the cylindrical sliding elements 9B projecting from the opening element 3 are preferably concave at their free end faces and the base body 1 has correspondingly protruding clamping cams 11 on, which hold the opening element 3 in a defined position until the first actuation of the lid 2.
  • the pouring element in the illustrated and therefore preferred embodiment also has a tamper-evident seal.
  • an outgoing from the main body pin 12 is caulked with a laterally disposed in the cover 2 at the appropriate place plate 13, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen.
  • the plate 13 is connected to the lid 2 during injection molding of the pouring element via thin material bridges 14.
  • the material bridges 14 serving as predetermined breaking points tear off between the plate 13 and the lid 2 and signal the consumer that the pack in question has already been opened.
