Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing device for containers, e.g the retaining elements on the locking part side can be brought into engagement when the opening of the container is being closed.
  • closure devices which are, for example, screw caps or closures or the like. can act, find a very wide distribution and are suitable for containers of all kinds and in use.
  • microcapsules which are arranged between a closure part and a mouth area of a container and contain a free-flowing substance are known. When the container is opened by turning the closing part, these microcapsules are damaged or destroyed, so that the liquids contained in them flow at the mouth area of the container. This is to ensure that once a container has been opened it can be recognized as such.
  • a corresponding closing device in which an indicator is arranged on the threaded mouth area of a container, which is carried along or changed by the substance in the container during pouring after the closing device has been removed from the container and the container has been poured out.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing the generic closing device for containers in such a way that it can also be used for other purposes apart from closing purposes.
  • the holding elements on the container side are designed as identification elements, namely as lettering, sequence of numbers, or have such identification elements by means of which the containers can be assigned to a specific type, class, size, manufacturer, processor, bottler .
  • components of the same that are required in any case for such closure devices are designed in such a way that, in addition to their holding function, which is essential for the functioning of the closure device, they also perform an identification function. Because of this identification function of the holding elements on the container side, containers provided with them can be arranged without great effort.
  • the locking part of the locking device according to the invention is designed to be transparent at least on its section interacting with the holding elements on the container side.
  • the holding elements on the container side which are also designed as identification elements or have identification elements, are also visible when the container is closed.
  • the container-side holding elements can advantageously as lettering, as a sequence of numbers or the like. be trained. However, it is also possible that these identification elements or the like as picture elements or as certain graphic configurations. are trained.
  • the holding elements on the container side protrude from the outer surface of the mouth area of the container or are arranged in a raised manner on this outer surface of the mouth area.
  • a closing device 1 shown in principle in the single figure is used to close a container 2, which can be a glass container, for example, in such a way that it can be opened at any time.
  • the container 2 is divided into a main section 3 and a mouth area 4, at the upper edge of which an opening 5 of the container 2 is provided, the closure of which the closure device 1 serves.
  • the closing device 1 includes a closing part 6, which can be designed, for example, as a screw cap or the like. is formed and by means of which the opening 5 of the container 2 can be closed.
  • the locking part 6 is designed as a screw cap and has locking part-side holding elements 8 on the inner surface of its, for example, cylindrical screw projection 7, which are shown in the figure by a dot-dash line.
  • the closing part 6 is provided with container-side holding elements 9 on its mouth area 4 or on the outer surface of its mouth area 4.
  • these holding elements 9 on the container side are configured as digit projections projecting raised from the outer surface of the mouth area 4, the lower edge of the digit projections 9 being offset slightly in the downward direction from right to left in the single figure with each digit projection 9.
  • the holding elements 9 on the container side thus function as identification elements in addition to their holding function. They are easily visible in the mouth area 4 of the container 2. Using them, each container provided with them can be assigned in a simple manner, be it a specific type, a specific class, a specific size or the like. or be it a specific manufacturer of such containers.
  • the closing part 6 is designed to be transparent at least on its section assigned to the holding elements 9 on the container side, the corresponding assignment is also possible when the containers 2 are closed.
  • the holding elements on the container side are configured as a sequence of numbers. However, you can also use lettering, graphics or the like. be designed.
