Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure cap with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Plastic caps are used in a large number of containers to close them.
- a sealing insert made of a softer material on the inside of the cap base. So that the outer upper edge of the container to be closed is adequately sealed, it is known, for example from EP 55 916, to provide a circumferential pressure bead in the area of the transition between the cap base and the cap apron, which presses the sealing disk against the edge of the container mouth. With such a construction, very good sealing results are achieved.
- EP 370 272 therefore proposes to provide the circumferential bead with segment-like interruptions. In the area of these interruptions, the sealing insert can be pressed outwards. Gas can escape and the internal pressure can be reduced.
- closure cap according to EP 370 272 has the disadvantage that in the area of the segment-like interruptions The sealing effect is no longer optimal even with normal internal pressure. There is a risk of leakage under normal conditions.
- the closure cap for a container essentially consists of a cap base and a cap apron.
- the cap apron is provided with inner retaining elements, which can be brought into engagement with outer retaining means at the mouth of the container.
- the closure cap also has a sealing washer, which lies at least partially on the cap base and which can be pressed against the mouth of the container.
- the cap is also provided with a bead in the transition area between the cap base and the apron. The bead serves to press the sealing washer onto the upper, outer edge of the mouth of the container.
- the bead is also divided into several blocks by at least one segment-like interruption. If the internal pressure in the container rises, the sealing disc can be pushed radially outwards in the area of the interruptions, which enables the internal pressure to be reduced.
- the sealing washer can also be designed in a ring shape.
- the closure cap is particularly suitable for drinks containing C0 2 , fruit juices and hot fillings.
- the inside of the cap base is provided with at least one rib running radially outwards.
- the rib extends radially at least over a sealing section on the inside of the head plate.
- the sealing section here and below means a section of the inside of the head plate, by means of which the sealing disk can be pressed against the mouth of the container to be closed, in particular against the end face.
- the rib on the inside of the cap base viewed in the circumferential direction, is arranged adjacent to the interruptions between the individual blocks of the bead for pressing on the sealing washer.
- the arrangement of the radial ribs, adjacent to the interruptions, leads to a reliable seal and still ensures gas release with increased internal pressure.
- the sealing washer is pressed against the container mouth in the area of the radial rib.
- a good seal is also ensured in the area of the interruption between the blocks of the bead.
- the cap base is raised due to the increased internal pressure (so-called doming).
- the radial ribs are relieved of pressure. The sealing effect of the sealing disk in the area of the interruptions between the blocks of the bead is thus reduced. The excess pressure can escape particularly well in the area of the rib and the recess.
- interruptions are preferably arranged in the bead, so that several blocks are formed.
- at least one radial rib is advantageously arranged in radial alignment. This leads to a particularly uniform ventilation function.
- the angular extent of the ribs is preferably chosen to be smaller than the angular extent of the interruptions. This creates additional channels for venting between the outer boundary line of the rib and the recess between the blocks. With increased internal pressure, the sealing washer can be pushed into these channels.
- the closure cap is preferably provided with approximately 9 interruptions and 9 blocks and radial beads. This value corresponds to an optimal compromise between sealing and venting properties.
- the interruptions advantageously extend over an angle of approximately 5 ° to 30 °.
- a circumferential rib on the cap base can also be provided, which has a smaller thickness than the radial rib.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a section of a closure cap according to the invention
- FIG. 2 bottom view of a cap without a sealing washer
- Fig. 3 cross section through a section of a closure cap according to the invention.
- a section of a closure cap 1 is shown in perspective and cut open.
- the closure Cap 1 essentially consists of a cap base 2 and a cap apron 3.
- the cap apron 3 collides with the cap base 2 in a transition region 7.
- a circumferential bead 6 is arranged in the transition region 7.
- the bead 6 serves to press a flexible sealing disk 5 (not shown in FIG. 1, see FIG. 3) onto the mouth of the container 20.
- the bead 6 is divided into individual blocks 9 by segment-like interruptions 8.
- Ribs 11 which extend radially outward are arranged on the inside 10 of the cap base 2.
- the ribs 11 extend radially up to approximately the area of the interruptions 8. It is important that the sealing ribs 11 extend at least over a sealing section 12.
- the sealing section is defined by the area in which a sealing disk 5 can be pressed against the mouth of the container 20 by the action of the cap base 10 or the sealing ribs 11.
- FIG. 2 shows the closure cap from FIG. 1 from below. To simplify the illustration, the sealing disk 5 is also not shown.
- a large number of individual blocks 9 are arranged in the transition region 7 between the cap base 2 and the cap apron 3. The individual blocks 9 are separated from one another by interruptions 8.
- a rib 11 which extends radially outward is provided for each interruption 8. The ribs 11, the blocks 9 and the interruptions 8 are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction over the inside 10 of the cap base 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a section of a closure cap 1 according to the invention in cross section.
- the cap 1 is with the cap apron 3 held on the neck of a container 20 by means of a screw thread 4.
- a sealing washer 5 is inserted into the sealing cap 1.
- the sealing disc 5 essentially touches the inside 10 of the cap base 2.
- the sealing disc 5 is pressed against the upper mouth of the container 10 by the action of the inside 10 of the cap base 2.
- a circumferential bead 6 presses the sealing disk 5 against the upper outer edge 21 of the container mouth.
- the circumferential bead 6 is arranged in the transition area 7 between the cap base 2 and the cap apron 3.
- the bead 6 has interruptions 8.
- a radially extending rib 11 is provided on the inside 10 of the cap base 2.
- the rib 11 presses the sealing disk 5 in a targeted manner against the upper edge of the container mouth of the container 20.
- the rib 11 extends at least over a sealing section 12. In the sealing section 12, the sealing disk 5 is pressed against the container mouth.
- a radial rib 11 is arranged between two blocks 9 for each interruption 8.
- the sealing disk 5 is pressed, except in the area of the interruptions 8, by the blocks 9 against the upper outer edge 21 of the container and thereby seals.
- the sealing disk 5 is not pressed against the outer edge.
- the sealing washer 5 is pressed against the upper edge of the container mouth.
- the cap base 2 is curved upward in the direction of arrow R (so-called “doming”). In doming, the sealing disk 5 is still pressed by the blocks 9 in a sealing manner against the outer upper edge of the container mouth.
- the gas inside the cap 1 closed container can escape through the interruptions 8 between the individual blocks 9.
- An interruption 8 is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
- the blocks 9 are shown with dashed lines.
- the arrow v indicates the path through which the gas degradation takes place.
