Definitions

  • the invention relates to a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packaging, in particular drinks packaging, with a base element having a circumferential fastening flange and an external thread, with opening means arranged inside the base element at least when the pouring element is unopened and a screw cap with an internal thread, wherein the opening means are designed such that when the composite packaging is first opened when the screw cap is unscrewed, a pouring opening is created inside the pouring element by breaking open the composite material of the packaging or a barrier layer located in the base element, wherein an anchor ring is arranged below the screw cap and is connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner, which can rotate freely radially around the base element and is connected to the base element in a tensile manner in the axial direction, and wherein, in order to securely connect the screw cap to the base element even when unscrewed, the anchor ring is articulated to the screw cap via a hinge element whose pivot axis is aligned tangentially to the outer circumference of
  • a generic pouring element is known from the applicant's patent application EN 10 2006 016 113 B3 known.
  • the screw cap is moved over the cutting element protruding from the pouring element and pressed (bounced) together with it onto the base element.
  • a plate is molded onto the screw cap in one piece, which is connected to the screw cap via connecting bridges.
  • the plate has pins on its underside that engage in corresponding recesses in the flange of the base element and are caulked from below after assembly. The connecting bridges break when opening the pouring element for the first time, so that the screw cap is then only loosely attached to the pouring element and the composite packaging.
  • the US 5 215 204 A shows a closure cap for a bottle with a ring arranged under the screw cap, which is firmly connected to the screw cap via two connecting bridges.
  • the ring and the bottle are designed in such a way that the ring cannot be pulled off the bottle.
  • the WO 2009/048273 A2 a screw cap for a conventional bottle.
  • the screw cap consists of a screw lid and a ring connected via a film hinge.
  • the ring ensures that the screw cap is connected to the bottle in a tensile manner in the axial direction.
  • the EP3 805 126 was only published after the filing date and also shows a pouring element with partly comparable features. However, the screw cap and anchor ring are not connected in a rotationally fixed manner by the lever-like connection, nor is the pivot axis aligned tangentially to the outer circumference of the screw cap even when unscrewed.
  • the present invention is based on the task of designing and developing a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packaging of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the screw cap is connected to the pouring element even when unscrewed.
  • a tensile connection is provided between the screw cap and the pouring element, in which the screw cap cannot be detached from the pouring element in the axial direction with a force of at least 10 to 30 N, which is usually necessary for the first opening of a commercially available screw cap.
  • the screw cap is reliably locked in an open position with respect to the pivoting open in order to enable pouring from the composite packaging without the screw cap pivoting shut in an undesirable manner.
  • a radial adjustment of the screw cap in the locked open position is particularly advantageous in order to enable pouring from any direction of the pouring element, since composite packaging is not essentially rotationally symmetrical like commercially available PET bottles or has an essentially square cross-section and can be poured equally well from any side. It is also desirable that in the locked open position there is as much free space as possible in front of the pouring opening, despite the opening means often present in the screw cap of cardboard/plastic composite packaging, which are necessary for creating a pouring opening.
  • a further ring is arranged below the anchor ring, which is connected to the anchor ring via a plurality of material bridges and serves as a tamper-evident seal.
  • the screw cap, the anchor ring and the further ring serving as a tamper-evident seal are manufactured as one piece.
  • the ring can only be rotated to a limited extent by blocking webs that protrude inwards from the ring with locking elements arranged around the circumference of the base element, so that when the screw cap is unscrewed for the first time, it is released from the anchor ring by tearing off the material bridges and remains in its position on the base element.
  • This design makes it possible to use the ring as a tamper-evident seal in a simple and elegant way, since when the screw cap is first opened, the material bridges between the ring and the anchor ring arranged above it are reliably destroyed by the rotating movement of the screw cap due to the ring's inability to rotate.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the base element has an outwardly projecting and essentially circumferential collar on its outside, wherein the clear inner diameter of the collar is smaller than the clear distance between the oppositely arranged webs of the ring.
  • the axially tensile connection of the screw cap to the base element ensures that the screw cap does not represent a loose plastic part even when the pouring element is open and that this cannot enter the environment as a loose plastic part.
  • the invention thus makes a valuable contribution to reducing environmental pollution.
  • the film hinges commonly used to connect a screw cap to a base element often break after only a small number of openings and therefore cannot guarantee a secure connection of a screw cap to its base element.
  • the special design of the hinge element ensures that the screw cap does not come loose from the rest of the base element even after the pouring element has been opened several times.
  • the opening means comprise a cutting element arranged in the interior of the base element and at least one driver web arranged in the interior of the screw cap and connected thereto in a form-fitting or material-fitting manner, which is preferably attached to the hinge element as far as possible in the circumferential direction.
  • the hinge element can be locked in the external thread of the flange in order to keep the screw cap open.
  • Arranging the carrier bar as far away from the hinge element as possible in the circumferential direction ensures that the hinge elements do not get in the way when the screw cap is opened/tilted away. This enables clean opening/tilting without the hinge element and the upper edge of the pouring spout getting caught.
  • the base element has on its outer side an outwardly projecting and essentially circumferential collar, wherein the clear inner diameter of the collar is smaller than the clear distance between the oppositely arranged webs of the ring.
  • the at least one carrier web When pivoted open, the at least one carrier web can protrude at least partially from the inside of the screw cap. It is therefore particularly important that a sufficiently large opening angle of the screw cap can be achieved.
  • the anchor ring has a slot running in the circumferential direction, which divides the anchor ring in one section into upper parts and a lower part, wherein the upper parts and the lower part are arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction. It is advantageous if the slot is arranged in the circumferential direction in the area of the hinge element.
  • the hinge element can thus be connected to the upper parts of the anchor ring in such a way that the end of the upper parts facing the hinge element is twisted after the screw cap is pivoted open.
  • hinge element is arranged circumferentially centrally to the slot. This ensures that both sides of the upper parts of the anchor ring are evenly loaded when the screw cap is swung open.
  • the lower end of the hinge element can protrude downwards over the lower end of the upper parts of the anchor ring in the direction of the fastening flange.
  • the hinge element folds over with its lower end in the direction of the slot, so that at an opening angle of 120° to 150° the screw cap is locked in its open position with respect to its swung open. In this state the screw cap can no longer swing back without the application of force from the outside. This has the great advantage that the screw cap does not automatically swing back when pouring and does not come into contact with the product during the pouring process.
  • the hinge element can be designed with a greater or equal wall thickness than the rest of the screw cap, but also with a smaller wall thickness.
  • the screw cap can be designed to be freely radially rotatable in its locked open position. This has the great advantage that the screw cap can be rotated into a position desired by the user. In the locked position, a slight force must still be applied from the outside to enable rotation, since fixing the screw cap in relation to its opening creates increased frictional resistance between the hinge element and the base element. However, the increased frictional resistance is also desired so that the screw cap does not easily move in the direction of the pouring stream when pouring, caused by the force of gravity.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides that the hinge element is arranged above the lower third of the base element with respect to its pivot axis in the unopened state.
  • the hinge element By arranging the hinge element above the lower third, it is ensured that the screw cap can achieve an opening position with an opening angle of 120° to 150° before the screw cap hits the composite packaging. Since composite packaging typically does not have a bottle neck like PET bottles, the swiveling movement of the screw cap is significantly more limited than with PET bottles. In order to still achieve a sufficiently large opening angle for a pleasant pouring process, it is desirable to arrange the hinge element as high up as possible.
  • the base element has on its outer side an outwardly projecting and substantially circumferential collar.
  • a further embodiment according to the invention provides that the collar with its outer peripheral surface in the upper region of the anchor ring touches the inner surface of the anchor ring.
  • the anchor ring By providing a substantially circumferential web at the lower end of the anchor ring, which is directed towards the base element and is arranged below the collar, the anchor ring is reliably prevented from being pulled off via the collar.
  • At least either the collar or the web can also be interrupted at one or more points, provided that it is ensured that the anchor ring with its web directed towards the base element cannot slip over the collar provided on the base element.
  • the collar is arranged in the axial direction in the upper region of the anchor ring in the unopened state, so that when the screw cap is unscrewed, the hinge element can move in the axial direction until the web comes into contact with the collar.
  • the anchor ring including the hinge element can cover as much distance upwards as possible when the screw cap is unscrewed and swung open, so that the swivel axis of the hinge element is moved upwards.
  • a swivel axis arranged as high as possible is desirable in order to enable the screw cap to open at as large an angle as possible for comfortable pouring, despite the lack of a bottle neck on composite packaging.
  • the pivot axis of the hinge element is arranged in the axial direction in the upper half of the base element when the screw cap is pivoted away, particularly preferably in the upper third of the base element.
  • ribs are provided on the base element below the collar, which protrude outwards in the direction of the anchor ring and extend perpendicular to the fastening flange. These ribs ensure that the anchor ring always has a certain distance from the base element in the radial direction. As a result, the anchor ring is centered with respect to the base element in every state.
  • the fastening flange of the pouring element can be connected to the inside of the composite packaging.
  • a corresponding composite packaging has a material recess at the location of the later pouring opening.
  • the pouring element is guided through the interior of the composite packaging, positioned in the area of the material recess and then connected to the inside of the composite packaging.
  • the base element is closed on the packaging side in the unopened state, so that the product in the composite packaging cannot flow into the pouring element in the unopened state.
  • the opening means comprise an opening element which is arranged inside the base element in the unopened state and is integrally connected to it, and at least one force transmission element which is arranged inside the screw cap and is integrally connected to it.
  • the opening element is positively connected to the at least one force transmission element and is separated from the base element at predetermined breaking points when the pouring element is opened for the first time, triggered by the rotation of the at least one force transmission element, so that there is no longer a material connection between the base element and the opening element. From this point on, the opening element is only positively connected to the at least one force transmission element, so that it cannot get into the composite packaging located under the pouring element.
  • the opening element can protrude at least partially from the inside of the screw cap when it is swung open.
  • Corresponding opening means are already known from the JP5857668B2 known.
