Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure with automatically opening closure flap, wherein the automatic opening of the closure flap is effected by an elastic, product-carrying tube.
- EP1427647B1 discloses a closure formed in particular for dispensing beverages with an elastic, product-carrying tube, one end of the tube being fixed in the closure. Furthermore, the closure has a closure cap hinged to the closure body which, in the closed position, squeezes the tube against a sealing element, so that a product delivery is prevented by the corresponding cross-sectional constriction of the tube. To open the closure, the cap must be unlocked and folded so that the tube is upright in its product dispensing position. This must be the Locking container to be fixed in one hand of the user, while the shutter is opened as described above with the other hand.
- closure known from EP1427647B1 is unsuitable for sealing a surfactant-containing product, such as something a detergent or cleaner for textiles, household goods, household surfaces, for human skin or hair from accidental leakage, especially in an over-head position.
- a surfactant-containing product such as something a detergent or cleaner for textiles, household goods, household surfaces, for human skin or hair from accidental leakage, especially in an over-head position.
- the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages known from the prior art and to provide a cost-producible closure, which makes it possible to open the closure with one hand in a simple and convenient way.
- the object is achieved by a closure having the features of claim 1 and a packaging having the features of claim 19.
- closure according to the invention is that no separate spring element is required for the formation of the self-opening mechanism, since the product-carrying, elastic hose acts both for product delivery from the container and as a spring element. As a result, the self-opening function of the closure can be realized in a very cost-efficient manner.
- a closure flap in the sense of this application is a closure means arranged on the closure which serves alone or in conjunction with the closure for closing a product discharge opening.
- flap all the lid suitable for the closure according to the invention, closure caps, pins, plugs and the like are covered by the term flap.
- closure flap can be designed as an outer flap, inner flap or closing flap, flap lid, cam cover, bayonet closure lid, hinge lid, sliding lid, snap lid, clamping lid, screw cap, slip lid, overcap lid or the like.
- closure flap fixedly but movably on the closure so that the closure flap does not unintentionally detach from the closure when the closure is opened.
- closure flap in one piece on the closure wherein it is particularly advantageous that the closure flap in this embodiment can be articulated on the closure.
- material fatigue can occur in the vicinity of the hinge line, which can lead to crack formation and complete detachment or to a changing coupling behavior, depending on the structural design.
- the shutter is movably connected to the shutter via a hinge. Due to the storage, the movement of the closure flap does not lead to any wear that is relevant for the life of the closure.
- the means for fixing the hose to the closure flap comprise all material, force, and / or form-fitting fixing means which appear suitable for the person skilled in the art.
- the hose may be glued to the closure flap.
- the fixing means may also be formed as a sleeve arranged on the closure flap, through which the tube is feasible and which at least partially encloses the tube.
- the closure flap may include means for narrowing the tube cross-section.
- an adaptation or adjustment of the metering can be done by adjusting the respective tube cross-sections.
- the product delivery as well as the force necessary for the automatic opening of the closure is realized in the closure according to the invention by a product-carrying, elastic tube.
- the deformation of the elastic tube as the closure closes creates a force against the deformation by the elastic tube and causes the tube to spring back to its original position when the force inducing the deformation is removed from the tube. It is particularly preferred to cause a deformation of the hose due to a bending load, wherein one end of the hose is fixed in the closure, while a directed force at the free end of the hose causes a deflection, up to a kinking of the hose. As a result, sufficiently large spring paths between a closing position and a delivery position of the closing flap can be realized.
- the tube has a certain elastic bias in the dispensing position. This can be effected by forming an angle ⁇ greater than 5 ° between the longitudinal axis of the tube in the product delivery position of the closure flap and the longitudinal axis of the tube in the untensioned state of the tube.
- the hose is preferably made of an elastic plastic material.
- the tube is made of a silicone material.
- the closure comprises an opening aid for releasing the latching connection between the closure flap and closure, so that upon actuation of the opening aid, the closure is automatically moved out of the closure position into the product dispensing position by the spring effect of the tube.
- the opening aid may be formed as a finger recess on the closure, wherein the finger recess represents a recess below the locking element, in which a finger is inserted in such that it can be moved under or behind the shutter to release the latching connection. stabilizing element

- the stabilizing element may be formed as a flap, strap, stamp, cylinder or the like.
- the stabilizing element biases a traverse, which encloses the footing of the closure on a horizontal flat surface in the overhead position.
- the support points of the shutter on the horizontal plane in this case form the support points of the polygon, when the support point is substantially punctiform or the sides of the polygon, when the support point is substantially linear.
- the polygon can be designed in particular as Dreieich, truncated cone, square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram.
- the projection of the center of gravity of the container arranged on the closure is perpendicular to the horizontal plane within the standing surface of the closure spanned by the traverse.
- the center of gravity of the container relative to the center of gravity of the support surface is slightly displaced in the direction of the support line formed by the bracket, whereby the stability of the closure with the container can be further increased.

- the stabilizing element shaped as a pivotable bracket in the closed position.

- a fragrance In order to be perceptible, a fragrance must be volatile, whereby besides the nature of the functional groups and the structure of the chemical compound, the molecular weight also plays an important role. For example, most odorants have molecular weights up to about 200 daltons, while molecular weights of 300 daltons and above are more of an exception. Due to the different volatility of fragrances, the smell of a perfume or fragrance composed of several fragrances changes during evaporation, whereby the odor impressions in "top note”, “middle note” or “body note” ) and “base note” (end note or dry out).

- the colorants When choosing the colorant, it must be remembered that the colorants have a high storage stability and insensitivity to light as well as not too strong affinity for glass, ceramic or plastic dishes. At the same time, it should also be taken into account when choosing suitable colorants that colorants have different stabilities to the oxidation. In general, water-insoluble colorants are more stable to oxidation than water-soluble colorants. Depending on the solubility and thus also on the sensitivity to oxidation, the concentration of the colorant in the detergents or cleaners varies. In the case of readily water-soluble colorants, colorant concentrations in the range of a few 10 -2 to 10 -3 wt% are typically selected.
