Definitions

  • the invention relates to a product receiving container with a spray nozzle arranged on a product removal opening with an external thread and a closure cap for this product removal opening.
  • KiSi caps child safety locks
  • This type of closure cap is designed in such a way that, for example, the closure cap can only be removed from the thread of the bottle neck by pressing it against the opening due to the two-part design of the closure cap.
  • KiSi closure caps thus protect the sealed product against accidental removal.
  • the current state of the art is to use a tongue and groove connection, i.e. the bottle neck with the external thread has an internal circumferential projection, i.e. the tongue, which is then held in place by a groove section arranged on the outside of the LDPE injection insert. This then causes the LDPE injection insert to snap into this tongue and should secure the LDPE injection insert firmly in the bottle neck.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a product container with a threaded adapter that has the function of a spray insert in that it has a corresponding spray nozzle, but at the same time is also the carrier of the KiSi closure cap, which is intended to prevent the bottles from being opened accidentally.
  • the present adapter thus replaces the PE insert and at the same time forms the holder for the KiSi closure cap. At the same time, this should be achieved with a low overall height.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the present invention in that, in a product receiving container, an additional structural component is not arranged in the form of a spray nozzle inserted into the product removal opening of the container by means of a tongue and groove connection as is known in the prior art, but rather a newly developed threaded adapter is used.
  • This threaded adapter now has the spray nozzle as an integrated component, so that this threaded adapter completely replaces the spray nozzle that was previously present as an insert part.
  • this thread adapter is now screwed tightly onto the product container and onto an external thread on the product removal opening. This provides significantly improved security for the spray nozzle on the product removal opening, which is further secured by additional design features as follows.
  • the thread adapter according to the invention has fastening elements that work together in a form-fitting manner with fastening counterparts on the product removal container. This results in the thread adapter snapping into place on the product removal opening in the form of an external thread on the product removal container. This means that when the thread adapter is arranged on the product removal container, this thread adapter snaps into place via the fastening elements, which are a structurally fixed component of the thread adapter, with the fastening counterparts, which are also a structurally fixed component of the product receiving container. Once a thread adapter has been arranged on the product receiving container, it can no longer be removed and thus becomes a structural component of the product receiving container.
  • the closure cap Only after this step of fastening the threaded adapter to the product container is a removable closure element in the form of a closure cap placed on the product container.
  • the closure cap will be a KiSi closure cap, which completes the secure holding in the product container. Due to the fastening elements on the threaded adapter mentioned above, it can no longer be detached from the product container, even if the KiSi closure cap is opened with force.
  • the fastening elements on the thread adapter are arranged circumferentially below the external thread of the thread adapter in a fastening ring.
  • the fastening elements are arranged on the inside of the fastening ring so that they are arranged facing fastening counterparts which run in a ring shape on the product receiving container around the product removal opening and the additional external thread arranged here.
  • the fastening elements on the thread adapter are designed in an approximately wedge-shaped manner, whereby when the thread adapter is screwed onto the external thread of the product receiving container, these wedge-shaped fastening elements slide from the wedge tip over the wedge flank to the widened wedge foot over the fastening counterparts 7 and finally snap into place.
  • the fastening ring mentioned for holding the fastening elements on the thread adapter expediently has a larger diameter than the external thread on the thread adapter and is thus offset outwards in a stepped manner.
  • the arrangement of the fastening counterparts on the product receiving container also engages outside the external thread on the product removal opening of the product receiving container.
  • a stable connection can also be achieved in terms of manufacturing technology and at the same time the thread height of the internal thread in the thread adapter can be fully adapted to the thread height on the product receiving container.
  • the external thread on the product receiving container is smaller than the external thread on the thread adapter.
  • the additional external thread on the thread adapter is provided above the first external thread on the product receiving container to accommodate the closure cap. It has been shown that it makes the most sense for production to adapt the diameter on the thread adapter to the existing designs of the closure caps, in particular the KiSi closure caps, and not to use a different diameter for the external thread on the thread adapter, which would then require a new design of the KiSi closure caps or other closure caps.
  • the reduction in the diameter of the external thread on the product receiving container must be selected so that it can engage with the internal thread in the thread adapter. It has been shown that, for example, reducing the internal thread diameter by approx. 4 to 7 millimeters compared to the external thread diameter leads to a stable and advantageous solution.
  • the internal thread of the thread adapter and the external thread on the thread adapter form a common wall, whereby the internal thread runs along the external thread.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 The design features of the thread adapter 6 can be seen here in the form of an external thread 1, onto which, for example, a standardized KiSi closure cap 11 engages.
  • the spray nozzle 2 can also be seen on the top, through which the product can be sprayed out of the product receiving container 8, for example a contained cleaning agent.
  • a fastening ring 3 offset outwards below the external thread 1 serves to securely fix the thread adapter 6 screwed onto the product receiving container 8, so that unintentional unscrewing from the product receiving container 8 is prevented.
  • the Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen here that the internal thread 4 is arranged completely in the external thread 1 of the thread adapter 6 and it can thus be achieved that the construction height formed from the elements, for example bottle neck, thread adapter 6 and attached KiSi closure cap 11, remains approximately the same compared to a product receiving container 8 in which no thread adapter 6 is conventionally installed.
  • this special design of the product receiving container 8 also interacts with the thread adapter 6 and ensures that the height of the product removal thread 12 on the product receiving container 8 with the thread adapter 6 attached and, for example, the KiSi closure cap 11 is approximately the same, as is the case with a standard product receiving container into which an LDPE injection insert has been inserted and then a KiSi closure cap 11 has been attached.
  • the threaded adapter 6 cannot be detached from the product receiving container 8 by pressure on the product in the product receiving container 8 and thus by leakage from the spray nozzle 2 on the threaded adapter 6.
  • the threaded adapter 6 is firmly connected to the external thread 12 on the product receiving container 8, which has a reduced diameter, and it can therefore be safely ruled out that the pressure exerted on the inner surface of the threaded adapter 6 with spray nozzle 2 can cause the latter to be detached in any way.
  • the product receiving container 8 is shown in a closed form by a closure cap 11.
  • the thread adapter 6 serves as a connecting intermediate element between the product receiving container 8 with product removal opening 10 and the external thread 12 arranged accordingly thereon.
  • the thread adapter 6 is clearly a lightweight component that only slightly increases the total weight formed from the product receiving container 8, closure cap 11 and thread adapter 6 compared to a previous design in which a syringe insert was inserted directly into the external thread 12 of the product removal opening 10 without a thread adapter 6.
  • the now innovative new shape of the spray insert 2 which is structurally connected to the threaded adapter 6, means that the product pressure exerted on it, for example when the bottle of the product receiving container 8 is compressed, can no longer lead to the spray nozzle 2 becoming detached from the product removal opening 10.
  • fastening elements 5 arranged on the inside of the fastening ring 3 on the thread adapter 6 engage the fastening counterparts 7, which also run in a stepped manner all the way around below the external thread 12 of the product removal opening 10, and thus allow the thread adapter 6 to snap firmly into place on the product receiving container 8.
  • the fastening counterparts 7 on the product receiving container 8 thus reliably prevent the thread adapter 6 from being unscrewed again, and the thread adapter 6 cannot come off if, for example, a KiSi closure cap 11 is unscrewed from the thread adapter 6 with force.
