Abstract

The invention relates to a closure consisting of a screw cap (10) with a tamperproof strip (3). The screw cap has at least one cylindrical cap casing (2) with an inner thread and a circumferential tamperproof strip at the lower open end of the cap casing, said tamperproof strip being connected to the lower edge of the cap casing along easily tearable weakness lines (13, 14), wherein the tamperproof strip remains captively connected to the cap casing after a tearing process along the weakness lines by means of holding strips (15, 16). The aim of the invention is to design a captive screw cap with a tamperproof strip in such a manner that after the screw cap has been unscrewed and released from the bottleneck opening, the screw cap is folded away or tilted into a position in which the screw cap does not interfere with the additional use of the bottle or with pouring or drinking out of the bottle and can remain there without additional measures. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the holding strips are formed by two weakness lines, each of which is interrupted at least once in the circumferential direction and which partly overlap in the circumferential direction and run at an axial distance to each other at least in the overlap region. The separating web (11, 12) of each of the two weakness lines is bridged by the respective other weakness line preferably at an axial distance.

Abstract

The invention relates to a closure consisting of a screw cap (10) and a tamperproof strip (3). The screw cap (2) has at least one cylindrical cap casing (2) with an inner thread (17), and the lower edge of the cap casing (2) is connected to the circumferential tamperproof strip (3) along easily tearable weakness lines (13, 14) at the lower open end of the cap casing (2). The tamperproof strip (3) remains captively connected to the cap casing (2) after a tearing process by means of holding strips (15, 16). The aim of the invention is to improve a closure of the aforementioned type such that the screw cap can be reliably moved away from the opening region of a corresponding container neck without the risk of the screw cap reaching across the cross-section of the container opening or at least into the proximity of the container opening, where the screw cap would interfere while pouring or drinking directly from the container for example, when the container is tilted. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the holding strips (15, 16) are formed by two separate weakness lines (13, 14), each of which is interrupted at least once in the circumferential direction and which overlap in the circumferential direction and run at an axial distance to each other at least in the overlap region. The interruption sections (11, 12) of the two weakness lines (13, 14) are bridged by the respective other weakness line (14, 13) preferably at an axial distance, and at least two overlap regions on both sides of the interruption section of the upper weakness line extend over a respective circumferential angle of the tamperproof strip of at least 60° and less than 160°.

Abstract

The invention relates to a closure consisting of a screw cap (10) with a tamperproof strip (3). The screw cap has at least one cylindrical cap casing (2) with an inner thread and a circumferential tamperproof strip at the lower open end of the cap casing, said tamperproof strip being connected to the lower edge of the cap casing along easily tearable weakness lines (13, 14), wherein the tamperproof strip remains captively connected to the cap casing after a tearing process along the weakness lines by means of holding strips (15, 16). The aim of the invention is to design a captive screw cap with a tamperproof strip in such a manner that after the screw cap has been unscrewed and released from the bottleneck opening, the screw cap is folded away or tilted into a position in which the screw cap does not interfere with the additional use of the bottle or with pouring or drinking out of the bottle and can remain there without additional measures. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the holding strips are formed by two weakness lines, each of which is interrupted at least once in the circumferential direction and which partly overlap in the circumferential direction and run at an axial distance to each other at least in the overlap region. The separating web (11, 12) of each of the two weakness lines is bridged by the respective other weakness line preferably at an axial distance.

Abstract

The invention relates to a closure consisting of a screw cap (10) and a cylindrical protrusion (9) which comprises a tamperproof strip (3). The screw cap (10) has at least one cylindrical cap casing (2) with an inner thread (17), and the cylindrical protrusion (9) is partly (3) connected to the lower edge of the cap casing along easily tearable tear lines (13, 14). The tamperproof strip (3) remains captively connected to the cap casing (2) after a tearing process along the tear lines by means of holding strips (15, 16). The aim of the invention is to prevent the screw cap from interfering with the emptying the container after the screw cap has been unscrewed. This is achieved by a closure design which allows the released screw cap to be positioned in a relatively stable, non-interfering position laterally on the container neck. For this purpose, the holding strips (15, 16) are formed by two cylindrical protrusion tear lines (13, 14), each of which is interrupted in the circumferential direction by at least one separating web and which run at an axial distance to each other at least at the location where the tear lines partly overlap in the circumferential direction and which mutually bridge the separating web (11, 12) of the respective other tear line in the circumferential direction, wherein the upper separating web (11) which interrupts the upper tear line forms an axial elongation of the cap casing and has an axial recess (7) on the lower edge (11d) which faces away from the cap edge (2a) and is released from the tamperproof strip.

Abstract

The invention relates to a pouring closure for a liquid container, comprising a pour spout (10) which can be sealingly fixed to a container neck and the cross-section of which is closed by a membrane (1) prior to use. A membrane (1) part (1') which extends transversely over the membrane (1) and which is approximately pear-shaped in plan view is connected to the remaining part of the membrane via an easily tearable line of weakness (2) and can be detached from the membrane (1) so as to release a membrane (1) opening (5), which is correspondingly pear-shaped in plan view, after the detachment such that liquid can be poured selectively out of the relatively narrower section (6) or the relatively wider section (7) of the pear-shaped opening (5) according to the orientation of the container upon tilting the container. The aim of the invention is to provide a pouring closure for liquid containers of the aforementioned type, wherein the pour opening can be produced in a well-controlled and well-defined manner by detaching a membrane section, and the metered pour of the liquid is further simplified in said liquid containers. This is achieved in that the membrane (1) has webs (8) on the inner face of the membrane with a narrow spacing parallel to the line of weakness (2) and outside of the detachable section, said webs extending away from the membrane surface and inwards substantially transverse to the membrane surface and running on both sides of the narrow section (6) of the detachable part (1') or the opening (5) and along at least one part of a transition region (9) between the narrower and the wider section.
