Abstract
In order to seal a spray cap acoustically, a cap 7 with a button 6 is provided with an elastic connection 49 between the button 6 and the cap 7 so as to form an acoustic seal 49 of the cap 7. The seal 49 is designed as a folded arrangement.
Description
- The invention relates to a cap for a container, in particular an aerosol container or a spray container, with a button for manual actuation and for delivering a product present in the container, for example a hair spray, from a product dispensing opening of the cap.
- It is known, from WO 01/96210, to seal a cap of this kind in order to obtain a pleasant spraying sound while a product is being dispensed. The button acts against a stem (product dispensing tube) of the container via an angled spray channel in order to deflect the stem by manual actuation of the button and in order therefore to open a valve located in the container, as a result of which the product contained in the container moves out through the stem, the spray channel and a product dispensing opening provided on the cap. A flexible connection between the button and the cap provides for an acoustic sealing of the cap.
- EP 0 669 268 A1 discloses a pivotable button which is formed in one piece with the cap and which has a peripheral fold as a seal between the cap and the button. The fold is always stretched on one side during actuation, whereas it is compressed on the opposite side.
- The known caps have the disadvantage that they are not provided for a large, smooth deflection of the button. It is true that they can be used for this, but only by application of quite a substantial manual force.
- The object of the invention is to develop a cap in accordance with the preamble of
claim 1 in such a way that greater deflections of the button can also be easily achieved. - The object is achieved by the fact that the seal is designed as a folded arrangement which is stretched when the button is actuated and which is returned into the original folded arrangement when the button moves back.
- The proposed folded arrangement has the advantage of making it possible to press the button down smoothly without in so doing altering the acoustic seal of the cap. The folded arrangement extends between the button and the housing of the cap. Depending on the required actuation path, this arrangement has a specified number of folds which is suitable for this distance, the folded arrangement opening out slightly in its downward travel, for example, and this opening-out being reversed as the button moves back up.
- The folded arrangement can be disposed at the outer edge of the button and likewise on a peripheral upper edge of the cap. In an advantageous embodiment (claim 2), the button is round, for example oval or circular, and the seal runs annularly around the button. The actuating force is minimized in this design.
- A particularly good acoustic sealing and, consequently, a pleasant spraying sound is obtained if the seal configured as a folded arrangement hermetically seals off the surface between the cap and the button (claim 8). The button and the arrangement can in this case form the upper end face of the cap, so that the button becomes an integral part of the normal appearance of the cap.
- If the seal is designed as a bellows arrangement (claim 3), relatively long actuation paths of the button can be obtained upon application of comparatively slight manual force. However, a single peripheral fold can also be used to form the seal (claim 4). Depending on the actuation path, this is dimensioned to ensure sealing of the cap during actuation of the button.
- The production outlay for the entire cap with sealed button is comparatively low and thus inexpensive if the seal is connected to the cap and the button in a one-piece design (claim 5). Thus, a single part can be produced in a method known per se, for example by injection molding. However, the seal could also be designed as a separate part which is inserted as plug a connection between the cap and the button (claim 6). This design is suitable, for example, for caps (spray caps) which have been produced in a conventional manner known per se and which are intended to have an acoustic seal between the cap and the button.
- The button can be connected to the area of the product dispensing opening via a hinge (claim 7). When it is actuated, a product, for example hair spray, is sprayed out of the product dispensing opening.
- If the spray channel is designed as a spray angle which is connected to the cap in the area of the product dispensing opening (claim 9), then, when the button is actuated, it can be pivoted in a lever function and thus smoothly relative to the cap in order to open a valve located in the container.
- To ensure that a button connected in an articulated manner to the cap can be pressed uniformly and smoothly, it is of advantage if the material thickness of the seal in the area of the product dispensing opening is less than the material thickness in the area of the seal farthest away from the product dispensing opening (claim 10). The greatest travel of a point of the edge of the button is covered with minimal material thickness there. The greatest material thickness is used to seal the gap between the button and the cap where the smallest button deflection occurs. For production reasons, it is of advantage, and a smooth manual actuation is achieved, if the material thickness of the seal, from the area of the product dispensing opening, in particular from a hinge of the button, to the far area, continuously increases from 0 to 180 degrees and continuously decreases from 180 degrees to 360 degrees (claim 11). Very good button properties in respect of a uniform and smooth button actuation are achieved if the material thickness of the seal in the area located at the product dispensing opening is between 0.4 and 0.6 mm and, at the far area, it is between 0.1 and 0.2 mm (claim 12).
- Suitable materials for the seal are elastic elastomer materials (claim 13), for example soft and flexible polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE).
- In principle, the cap and seal and button can be made in one piece from elastomer material (claim 14) for example from two-component elastomer (claim 15).

-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cap with a round button which is provided with a peripheral seal, for fitting onto an aerosol container; -
FIG. 2 shows a vertical cross section of the cap fromFIG. 1 , fitted onto a container, with the button not actuated; -

FIG. 14 shows a vertical cross section of the turned cap fromFIG. 13 ; -
FIG. 15 shows a vertical cross section of the seal of the cap (detail X) fromFIG. 14 , which is designed as a plug connection; -
FIG. 16 shows a vertical cross section of the seal of the cap (detail Y) at a hinge of the button according toFIG. 14 ; -
FIG. 17 shows a top view of the cap fromFIG. 13 ; -
FIG. 18 shows a bottom view of the cap fromFIG. 13 ; -
FIG. 19 shows a perspective view, with partial vertical cross section, of the cap fromFIG. 13 upon use of the peripheral seal, and -
FIG. 20 shows a vertical cross section of the article fromFIG. 14 , but with the button pressed. - In the case of a spray cap having a
cap 7, abutton 6 is used to actuate a valve (not shown) of acontainer 1 which is designed as an aerosol container and contains hair spray (FIGS. 1 through 6 ). Thebutton 6 is intended to act against astem 11 of thecontainer 1 via an angled spray channel in order to deflect thestem 11 upon manual actuation of thebutton 6 and in order therefore to open the valve, as a result of which a product contained in thecontainer 1 moves out through thestem 11 and through aproduct dispensing opening 3 provided on thecap 7, in so doing passing through thespray channel 10. Aflexible connection 49 between the button and thecap 7 functions as anacoustic seal 49 of thecap 7 in order to obtain a pleasant spraying sound for the customer. Theseal 49 is designed as a folded arrangement. - The button is round, and the
seal 49 runs annularly around thebutton 6. It hermetically seals off the surface between thecap 7 and thebutton 6. - The
cap 7 is produced in one piece with theseal 49 andbutton 6 from a two-component elastomer material. - Accordingly, the
cap 7 is connected to thebutton 6 via theseal 49. The spray cap has, for these three components, an elastomer material which contains soft and flexible polyethylene (PE). - The material thickness of the
seal 49 in thearea 29 above theproduct dispensing opening 3 is less than the material thickness in thearea 30 of theseal 49 farthest away from theproduct dispensing opening 3, that is to say at the opposite end of thebutton 6. The material thickness of theseal 49, from thearea 29 of theproduct dispensing opening 3 to thefar area 30, that is to say from 0 to 180 degrees, continuously increases and, from 180 degrees to 360 degrees, continuously decreases. The material thickness of theseal 49 is at most 0,5 mm and at least 0.15 mm. - The
spray channel 10 is designed as a spray angle which is connected to thecap 7 underneath theproduct dispensing opening 3. - In the illustrative embodiment in
FIGS. 7 through 12 , in contrast to the previous example, the spray cap is designed in another configuration and with ahigher hinge 5 for thebutton 6. Theseal 49 is likewise designed in one piece, but as a single peripheral fold. As regards the material thickness of theseal 49, the foregoing again applies accordingly. It is produced in one piece with thebutton 6 and thecap 7. In the area of thehinge 5, however, while maintaining the same material thickness, the fold of theseal 49 could have less height than at thearea 30 remote from thehinge 5, because the travel of the button is greater at thearea 30. - In the third illustrative embodiment in
FIGS. 13 through 20 , in contrast to the second illustrative embodiment, theseal 49 is designed as a separate component which can be inserted as a plug connection between thecap 7 and thebutton 6. This variant is also suitable for spray caps into which aseal 49 is intended to be subsequently inserted after their production. - A common feature of all the illustrative embodiments is that only slight manual force is needed to actuate the
button 6, and in order thereby to stretch the whole of the peripheral folded arrangement. When thebutton 6 is released, theseal 49 is returned to its original folded state. - 1 container
