See also accompanying drawing 1,1A, 4 and 4A, around the inside face of the belt 15 that above-mentioned energy evident covers, the hook-shaped locking projections part 16 that many arcs are arranged along the circumference partition distance, and as shown in Figure 5, these protruding positions be arranged on can tighten a circle annular lock flange 17 below so that capping is locked on the bottleneck 18.As seen from Figure 6, these bossings 16 have the many edge 16a that form groove 16b on its radially upwardly extending annular lip 16c.Usually, these flanges 16c is discontinuous, but, also can be continuous.Edge 16a and groove 16b have formed " hook " shape, so that identical with the groove 16b basically annular lock flange 17 of chucking radius.The Normal plane of the inside face of the belt 15 of the surface of flange 16c and energy evident lid at an angle, thereby form " hook " with trough of belt of upset bottom surface, when being contained in capping on the container, this upset bottom surface can allow flange 16c slip over lock flange 17 on the bottleneck 18, but, when the belt 15 of wanting to enable the evident lid was intactly opened capping, but blocked capping and be locked on the container above-mentioned upset bottom surface.Shown in Fig. 6 B, above-mentioned angle can change on the whole surface of flange 16,16c, makes that to have a part of ledge surface at least substantially parallel with the inside face of belt 15 that can the evident lid basically.The position of the edge of this protrusion and groove structure 16a-16c can be can evident on any height on surface of belt 15 of lid, comprises the position near belt 15 bases that can the evident lid shown in Fig. 6 B.Owing to will cut out groove 16b, so must use core rod, this core rod can take out before the demoulding from the mould in capping.For those skilled in the art, various technology comprises the movable mold core retainer plate that use can allow the slot portion of mould take off, and all is known.Shown in Fig. 6 A, 6B, hooked flanges 16c of the present invention also can have some fins or gusset 10 selectively, and these gussets extend upward along vertical with the sealing surfaces of flange basically direction.The effect of fin or gusset 10 be help can the evident lid belt,, can break with the remainder of capping and separate owing to contacting with the outside face of bottleneck when destroying in sealing.
Please participate in Fig. 1-1A, 2-2A and 3-3A, as seen from the figure, can evident have on the belt 15 of lid and manyly on circumference, separate the bridge shape part 35 that annular shirt rim 13 height that dangle towards capping get up.The bridge shape part 35 that each height gets up is molded and when being enclosed within capping on the bottleneck, and the reinforcement that has formed belt 15 that can the evident lid is supported.Shown in Figure 1A, 2A and 3A, the part 14 of frangibility can design between the bridge shape part 35 that height gets up, and the belt 15 that covers from the energy evident extends to plastic closure.Perhaps, shown in Fig. 1,2 and 3, between each bridge shape part 35 of getting up at height the part 14 of frangibility, can also the part 14A that extend to the frangibility on can the belt 15 of evident lid be set on the end face of the bridge shape part 35 that height gets up.In the arc convex part 16 shown in Figure 1A-4A, aim at the bridge shape part 35 that corresponding centre has the height of the part 14 of frangibility to get up in vertical direction.But shown in Fig. 1-4, the bridge shape part 35 that bossing 16 also can get up with height and the part 14 or the 14a of frangibility stagger.
Cover in the process of bottleneck portion in capping, each bridge shape part 35 provides support for the belt 15 of energy evident lid, prevented annulus with respect to the excessive distortion in the shirt rim of dangling 13 and moved, otherwise this distortion will make part 14 fractures of frangibility, because the bridge shape part 35 that height gets up has worked to stop the capping shirt rim 13 of dangling.Also is clearly in capping molding process jackshaft shape part to the protective effect of belt 15 that can the evident lid, otherwise the part 14 of frangibility is easy to destroyed when the demoulding.The part 14A of frangibility be attached to can evident purpose on the height of belt 15 of the lid bridge shape part 35 of getting up, be to be assembled in capping to make capping be subjected to time spent of doing of torsion in the process that the neck 18 of container gets on, help prevent the axial offsetting of bridge shape part that the height of belt 15 that can the evident lid gets up with respect to the annular shirt rim that dangles 13 of capping.
As seen from Figure 5, the screw thread 36 of capping meshes one section known distance with the screw thread 37 that outwards protrudes from the neck 18 of container.Work as rotary closure, it when neck screws down, is consequently made part 14 and the 14A distortion and the fracture of frangibility, the belt that can evident covers is separated from the annular shirt rim that dangles.See also the capping among Fig. 4 A, can see, relative position between the arc convex part 16 on the belt 15 of the screw thread 36 of segmentation and energy evident lid, be the overlapping relation that separates on circumference, this relation makes it to stagger with respect to the annular lip 17 and the screw thread 37 ingears point of the locking on the container neck 18.
Fig. 7 and 7A are second preferred embodiments of the present invention, have represented that a kind of releasable push-and-pull topples over the outlet capping.This capping is made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) usually, normally makes of low density polyethylene (LDPE) except toppling over outlet 20.Shown in Fig. 7-7A and 8-8A, seal disc 12 parts of the downward extension of capping can be designed to the structure of any embodiment shown in Fig. 1-6 and the 1A-6A.
See also Fig. 7 and 7A, usually, at the center of seal disc 12 opening 19 is arranged, the cylindrical shape that has the setting of aiming at it on the opening is toppled over outlet 20.There is an auxiliary top 21 upper end of toppling over outlet 20, and a hole 22 is arranged on this top.Be provided with a capping chock plug 23 on auxiliary top 21, this chock plug is supporting with devices spaced apart on many circumference, oblique upwardly extending supporting part 24, with hole 22 partition distance.A push-and-pull lid 25 is arranged on columnar top of vertically toppling over outlet 20, it has the end face 26 of a band centre hole 27, this centre hole is aimed at chock plug 23, when push-and-pull lid 25 be in shown in Fig. 7 A lean against on the columnar auxiliary top 21 of vertically toppling over outlet 20 time, it forms a seeondary closure.
