Abstract

The invention relates to a stopper, in particular for bottles or the like containing infusion solutions, with a resilient stopper part (1) which can be sealingly introduced into the bottleneck (9) and rests by means of a bearing shoulder (7) on the bottleneck (9), and a lid part (2) which is connected therewith, and proposes, in order to achieve a particularly optimum practical solution, that the lid part (2) is assigned to the stopper part (1) by means of a clamping plug connection, in that the stopper part (1) possesses a recess (14) for the splaying entry of a flange (13) projecting on the lid part (2), and a flanging cap (3) is clamped between the stopper part (1) and the lid part (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschlußstopfen gemäß Gattungsbegriff des Hauptanspruches. Ein derartiger Verschlußstopfen ist aus der GB-A-918985 bekannt.The invention relates to a plug according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a plug is known from GB-A-918985.

Bei den bekannten Lösungen dieser Art (DE-OS 3239302) ist ein aus Kunststoff mit einem Griffstück einstückig geformter stopfenförmiger Grundkörper vorgesehen, der im Bereich seiner Abdichtflächen mit gummielastischem Material belegt ist. Der Deckelteil ist dabei Stützteil. Zur Erzielung des Verbundes besitzt dabei der Grundkörper skelettartige Gestalt, wobei die Öffnungen durch Umspritzen mit dem anderen Material geschlossen sind derart, daß beide Werkstoffe einander durchdringen und ein zusammenhängendes Teil bilden. Die Lösung ist fertigungs-, abdichtungs- und handhabungs-technisch nachteilig. Die Zurodnung einer Bördelkappe ist schwierig. Die totale hygienische Isolierung einer freizulegenden Durchstechfläche für die Entnahmekanüle ist nicht gegeben bzw. nicht möglich. Ferner wurde gefunden, daß alle spritztechnisch und dichtungstechnisch in Frage kommenden gummiartige Materialien (Thermo-Plastik-Rubber =  TPR) nicht gegen alle entsprechenden Flüssigkeiten über längste Gebrauchszeiten genügend inert sind. Auch ergibt sich manchmal der Nachteil, daß bei dem zur Entnahme erfolgenden Durchstecken der Kanüle durch den Stopfen kleinste Abrißstücke in die Flasche oder dergleichen fallen, wo sie mechanische und bei Weitertransport durch den Sondenschlauch auch medizinische Komplikationen bringen können.In the known solutions of this type (DE-OS 3239302) a plug-shaped base body is provided, which is made in one piece from plastic with a handle and which is covered with rubber-elastic material in the area of its sealing surfaces. The cover part is a support part. To achieve the bond, the base body has a skeletal shape, the openings being closed by extrusion coating with the other material in such a way that the two materials penetrate one another and form a coherent part. The solution is disadvantageous in terms of production, sealing and handling. Assigning a crimp cap is difficult. The total hygienic isolation of a piercing surface to be exposed for the withdrawal cannula is not given or not possible. Furthermore, it was found that all rubber-like materials (thermoplastic rubber = TPR) that are suitable in terms of injection technology and sealing technology are not sufficiently inert to all corresponding liquids over the longest periods of use. There is also sometimes the disadvantage that when the cannula is inserted through the stopper, the smallest pieces of tear-off fall into the bottle or the like, where they can cause mechanical complications and medical complications when transported further through the probe tube.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Verschlußstopfen so auszugestalten, daß bei vereinfachter Bauform unter Vermeidung der vorerwähnten Nachteile eine Lösung mit höheren Gebrauchsvorteilen gegeben ist.The object of the present invention is to design a generic stopper in such a way that, with a simplified design while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages, there is a solution with greater advantages in use.

Erreicht ist dies durch die im gekennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruchs angegebene Erfindung. Die Unteransprüche stellen weitere erfinderische Lösungselemente heraus.This is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of the main claim. The subclaims highlight further inventive solution elements.

Zufolge dieser Ausgestaltung ist ein Verschlußstopfen geschaffen, der bei vereinfachter, in hohen Maßtoleranzen möglicher Herstellung, vorzugsweise im spritztechnischen Verfahren, eine optimierte Lösung hinsichtlich Abdichtung und späterem Gebrauch bis zum Einstecken der Entleerungskanüle darstellt. Es liegt eine einfachst aber sicher vormontierte Einheit von Deckel und Stopfenteil vor, der auch die Bördelkappe günstig zugeordnet werden kann. Die Kanülendurchstechfläche ― Kegelraumboden ― ist absolut hygienisch verdeckt. Der Flansch stabilisiert, insbesondere als Ringflansch, das Stopfenteil und verbessert dessen Abdichtungssitz zur Flasche. Die Flaschenflüssigkeit kommt nicht mehr in Berührung mit dem Gummi. Dieser verkörpert verbessert die Reserve an elastischer Rückstellkraft für die genügende Abdichtungsanlage. Zum Flascheninneren ist die gesamte TRP-Stopfenteilfläche abgedeckt durch entsprechenden Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Polypropylen. Dieses ist absolut inert gegen die in Frage kommenden Flüssigkeiten solcher Infusions- oder Transfusionsflaschen. Die Umfassung des unteren Stirnrandes des Stopfenteiles durch diese Kunststoffabdeckung und deren Auslaufen an entsprechender Stelle vermittelt, wie gefunden wurde, selbst im Bereich dieser Kante eine absolute Abdichtung gegen Durchtritt der Flüssigkeit bis zum Stopfen. Andererseits verkörpert die noch verbleibende durch die Rückstellkraft satt anliegende Rest-Mantelfläche des Stopfenteiles den notwendigen absoluten luftdichten Abschluß. Beim Durchstecken der Entnahmekanüle gelangen, wie gefunden wurde, keine Abbrechteile in das Flascheninnere oder die Kanüle. Insbesondere, wenn der Stopfenteil als Hinterspritzung der vorgefertigten Kunststoffabdeckung erzeugt wird, ergibt sich sogar der überraschende Effekt, daß nach Herausziehen einer solchen, der üblichen Abmessung entsprechenden Kanüle wiederum ein völlig dichter Verschluß vorliegt. Die Flasche läuft, auch auf den Kopf gestellt, nicht selbsttätig aus. Beim Durchstechen der Entnahmekanüle erfolgt übergewichtig nur ein Verdrängen der flächenverbundenen Materialien und es ergibt sich, bedingt durch die hohe elastische Rückstellung des Stopfenmaterials, nach Herausziehen der Kanüle wiederum ein für gewisse kurzzeitige Zwischenaufbewahrungen ausreichendes Verschließen dieses durch Verdrängung gebildeten Loches. Die hohe Abdichtung im Bereich des Auslaufrandes der Kunststoffabdeckung ist begünstigt, wenn sich erfindungsgemäß die Kunststoffabdeckung zum Auslaufende hin verjüngt. Das Durchstechen ist erleichtert, wenn gemäß der Erfindung die Kunststoffabdeckung im Bereich des Topfbodens verdünnt ausgebildet ist. Die dabei gleichzeitig vorgesehene Maßnahme, an der Unterseite Rippen vorzusehen, stabilisiert andererseits diese Zone gegen zu starkes Durchbiegen und damit Längung des Materiales zum Beispiel beim Durchstecken der Entnahmekanüle. Die sternförmige Anordnung entsprechender Rippen ist für eine Vergleichmäßigung dieser Stabilisierung erheblich. Diese Form der Rippen ist auch formungstechnisch vorteilhaft. Das Durchstecken ist optisch und handhabungstechnisch sicherer auszuführen, wenn sich der Topfboden zum Flascheninneren hin als Kegelöffnung anbietet. Die Verbindung der Deckkappe zum Stopfenteil über den entsprechenden Flansch bringt eine gute Zuordnung, die sogar eine verbesserte Halterung gewährleistet bei in die Flasche eingesetztem Verschlußstopfen. Durch diese Halterung kann auch die Spannkraft des Stopfenteiles ohne weiteres sicher so groß erreicht werden, daß man diese Deckkappe gefahrlos zum Anfassen der Flasche benutzen kann. Auch die entsprechende Fesselung der Bördelkappe stellt eine gebrauchstechnisch optimale Weiterbildung dar. Sie gewährleistet auch den Originalitätsverschluß; sie ist beim Tragen der Flasche jedoch nicht die einzige bzw. wesentliche Kraftübertragungsbrücke zum Flaschenhals; dies ist vielmehr stärker die Deckkappe.As a result of this configuration, a sealing plug is created which, with simplified production which is possible with high dimensional tolerances, preferably in the injection molding process, represents an optimized solution with regard to sealing and later use until the emptying cannula is inserted. There is a simple but securely preassembled unit of cover and stopper part, to which the crimp cap can also be conveniently assigned. The cannula piercing surface - cone chamber floor - is completely hygienically covered. The flange stabilizes the stopper part, especially as a ring flange, and improves its sealing fit to the bottle. The bottle liquid no longer comes into contact with the rubber. This embodies the reserve of elastic restoring force for the sufficient sealing system. For the inside of the bottle, the entire surface of the TRP stopper is covered by appropriate plastic, preferably polypropylene. This is absolutely inert to the liquids in question from such infusion or transfusion bottles. The encirclement of the lower front edge of the stopper part by this plastic cover and its leakage at the appropriate place, as was found, provides an absolute seal against the passage of the liquid up to the stopper even in the region of this edge. On the other hand, the remaining residual lateral surface of the stopper part that fits snugly due to the restoring force embodies the necessary absolute airtight seal. When the withdrawal cannula was inserted, it was found that no break-off parts enter the interior of the bottle or the cannula. In particular, if the stopper part is produced as an injection molding of the prefabricated plastic cover, there is even the surprising effect that, after pulling out such a cannula, which corresponds to the usual dimensions, there is again a completely tight seal. The bottle does not leak automatically, even when it is turned upside down. When the removal cannula is pierced, overweight only displaces the materials connected to the surface and, due to the high elastic recovery of the stopper material, the cannula is closed again after the cannula has been pulled out, which is sufficient for certain short-term temporary storage. The high seal in the area of the outlet edge of the plastic cover is favored if, according to the invention, the plastic cover tapers towards the end of the outlet. Piercing is facilitated if, according to the invention, the plastic cover is made thinned in the area of the pot base. The measure provided at the same time, to provide ribs on the underside, on the other hand, stabilizes this zone against excessive bending and thus elongation of the material, for example when the withdrawal cannula is inserted. The star-shaped arrangement of corresponding ribs is considerable for the stabilization of this stabilization. This shape of the ribs is also advantageous in terms of molding technology. Pushing through is to be carried out more safely in terms of appearance and handling if the bottom of the pot offers itself as a cone opening towards the inside of the bottle. The connection of the cover cap to the stopper part via the corresponding flange provides a good assignment, which even ensures an improved retention when the stopper is inserted into the bottle. By means of this holder, the clamping force of the stopper part can easily be reached so large that one can safely use this top cap to hold the bottle. The corresponding tying of the crimp cap also represents an optimal further development in terms of use. It also guarantees the tamper-evident seal; however, it is not when the bottle is carried the only or essential power transmission bridge to the bottleneck; rather, the top cap is stronger.

The object of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in one embodiment. Show it

Fig. 2
a bottom view against the plug.

Der Verschlußstopfen besitzt das aus TPR bestehende Stopfenteil 1, die Deckkappe 2, die Bördelkappe 3 und die Kunststoff-Abdeckung 4. Letztere besteht vorzugsweise aus Polypropylen. Das Stopfenteil 1 ist einerseits vorzugsweise in einer Form im Wege der Hinterspritzung der Kunststoffabdekkung 4 gebildet.The sealing plug has the plug part 1 made of TPR, the top cap 2, the crimp cap 3 and the plastic cover 4. The latter is preferably made of polypropylene. The plug part 1 is, on the one hand, preferably formed in a shape by injection molding the plastic cover 4.

Die Kunststoffabdeckung 4 formt eine flächengeschlossene Abdeckung der gesamten zum Flascheninneren zugekehrten Innenseite 1′ des Stopfenteiles 1. Zu diesem Zweck umfaßt die Kunststoffabdeckung 4 mit ihrem gebogenen Bereich 4′ den vorzugsweise gerundet verlaufenden Stirnrand 1˝ des Stopfenteiles 1 und erstreckt sich mit ihrem Auslaufende 4˝ bis in die Außenmantelfläche 1‴ des Stopfenteiles 1. Das Auslaufende 4˝ der Kunststoffabdeckung 4 verdünnt sich zum Auslaufende hin. Der Stirnrand 5 des Auslaufendes 4˝ sitzt dabei hälftig vertieft in die Mantelfläche 1‴ des Stopfenteiles 1.The plastic cover 4 forms a closed cover of the entire inside of the bottle facing the inside 1 'of the stopper part 1. For this purpose, the plastic cover 4 with its curved area 4' comprises the preferably rounded end edge 1˝ of the stopper part 1 and extends with its outlet end 4˝ to the outer surface 1 ‴ of the plug part 1. The outlet end 4˝ of the plastic cover 4 thins towards the outlet end. The front edge 5 of the outlet end 4˝ sits half deepened in the lateral surface 1 ‴ of the plug part 1.

An den topfförmigen Teil des Stopfenteiles 1 schließt sich ein Kragen 6 an. Dieser bildet mit seiner Unterseite die Auflageschulter 7, welche in Einsteckstellung auf dem Stirnrand 8 des Flaschenhalses 9 zu liegen kommt. Auf der Oberseite 10 dieses Kragens 6 liegt der ringförmige Hals 11 einer Bördelkappe 3. Ein Umfaltelung 11′, die in einer Abschrägungsnische 10′ einliegt, verfestigt diese Anordnung. Überdeckt ist der ringförmige Hals 11 der Bördelkappe 3 von der äußeren Ringzone der Deckkappe 2. Diese besitzt den abgewinkelten Rand 2′ und ferner von der Innenseite abstehend den Flansch 13, welcher in eine Ringnut 14 des topfförmigen Mittelteiles des Stopfenteiles 1 ragt. Der Flansch 13 hat dabei gegenüberliegende auswärts vorstehende Schrägflächen. Diese bewirken bei Kompression des Stopfenteiles 1 eine verbesserte Steckhaftung zwischen Flansch 13 und Deckkappe 2. Der untere Endbereich 12 der Bördelkappe 3 wird bei eingestecktem Verschlußstopfen unter die rückspringende Kante 9′ des Flaschenhalses eingerollt.A collar 6 adjoins the pot-shaped part of the plug part 1. This forms with its underside the support shoulder 7, which comes to rest in the inserted position on the front edge 8 of the bottle neck 9. On the top 10 of this collar 6 is the annular neck 11 of a crimp cap 3. A fold 11 ', which lies in a bevel niche 10', solidifies this arrangement. The annular neck 11 of the crimp cap 3 is covered by the outer ring zone of the top cap 2. This has the angled edge 2 'and further protruding from the inside of the flange 13 which projects into an annular groove 14 of the cup-shaped central part of the plug part 1. The flange 13 has opposite outwardly projecting inclined surfaces. These cause an improved plug-in adhesion between flange 13 and cover cap 2 when the plug part 1 is compressed. The lower end region 12 of the crimp cap 3 is rolled under the recessed edge 9 'of the bottle neck when the sealing plug is inserted.

Der Topfbodenbereich 14 des Stopfenteiles 1 ist kegelförmig zum Flascheninneren hin eingezogen. Der sich an der Unterseite dieses Topfbodens 16 erstreckende Flächenbereich der Abdeckung 4 ist verdünnt ausgebildet. Er ist mit sternförmig zueinanderstehenden Rippen 15 ausgestattet. Die Enden der Rippen 15 belassen im zentralen Bereich einen rippenlosen Abschnitt.The pot bottom region 14 of the stopper part 1 is drawn in conically towards the inside of the bottle. The surface area of the cover 4 which extends on the underside of this pot base 16 is of thinned design. It is equipped with ribs 15 standing in a star shape relative to one another. The ends of the ribs 15 leave a ribless section in the central region.

Alle in der Bescheibung erwähnten und in der Zeichnung dargestellten neuen Merkmale sind erfindungswesentlich, auch soweit sie in den Ansprüchen nicht ausdrücklich beansprucht sind.All new features mentioned in the description and shown in the drawing are essential to the invention, even if they are not expressly claimed in the claims.
