Abstract

In the case of a closure cap (1) for a container, with a disk-like lid (3) in which a product delivery channel (5) leading to an opening (4) is provided, a hinge (6) is used to hold the lid (3) in an articulated manner a casing body (7) of the closure cap (1). The joint (6) is provided so that the cover (3) can optionally be pivoted into a closed position, in which the opening (4) is closed by an inner surface (8) of the casing body (7), and into an open position , in which the opening (4) is not covered by the casing body (7). A connection (9), in particular a screw thread, is used to attach the closure cap (1) to the container and to supply product from the container via a recess (10) in the closure cap (1) to the product dispensing channel (5). A seal (15) is provided on the opening (4) in order to reliably prevent product from being dispensed from the opening (4) if the lid (3) is not exactly closed or if the container is accidentally placed on the container.

Description

Of the The subject of the application relates to a container with a disc-top closure. Such containers have a hinged lid. The lid forms z. B. the Head area of a cap. By manual pressure on one The edge of the lid will be opposite lying lid edge pivoted upwards and gives one in the lid provided opening for product release free. After a product removal, the lid back in his the opening closes Starting position pushed back.

From the US 6,564,978 B1 Such a cap for a container is known. The cap has a disc-like lid in which a product delivery channel leading to an opening is provided. A hinge serves to pivotally hold the cover to a shell body of the closure cap to pivot the lid about the hinge, thereby selectively pivoting the lid to a closed position in which the opening is closed by an inner surface of the jacket body, and in an open position, in which the opening is not covered by the jacket body. A connection, in particular a screw thread, is provided for applying the closure cap to the container and for feeding product of the container via a recess of the closure cap to the product delivery channel.

The known cap has the disadvantage that when not exactly closed lid product can escape from the opening.

It the object is to eliminate this disadvantage.

Solved is the Task according to the characterizing Part of claim 1. Thereafter, a seal is provided at the opening, which serves to seal the lid against the inner surface of the jacket body.

The Proposed innovation has the advantage of being safe is prevented that when not exactly closed lid or accidentally applied pressure on the container in unwanted Way product from the opening is delivered. A particularly secure seal is achieved here, if this is a first sealing surface on the inner surface has, against which a second, provided at the opening and the lid Sealing surface acts (Claim 2).

Around on the inner surface stripping off adherent product, it is suggested that on the lid two Sealing webs are provided, which are above and below the opening transversely run to the pivoting direction (claim 3). When swinging the lid a product deposit is wiped from the inside surface. Will the lid open, Thus, the lower sealing web touches the adhesive adhering to the inner surface of the jacket body Product upwards so that this area of the jacket body is cleaned. To A product discharge may contain a small amount of product at the opening of the product Lids remain. This is when closing the lid from the upper sealing bar at an attachment to the inner surface hindered when the lid is in an unfastened position is pivoted.

in the The following is the invention with reference to two embodiments illustrative figures closer described.

It shows:

1 in a perspective view of a closure cap for a container having a pivotable lid in the head region of a jacket body;

2 in a perspective view, the cap of the 1 but with the lid removed;

3 in a view from above the cap of the 1 ;

4 in a section along AA the 3 the cap of the 1 with the lid closed;

5 in a cut a detail X the 4 ;

6 in a section along AA the 3 the cap of the 1 with pivoted and thereby opened lid;

7 in a section along CC the 3 the cap of the 1 with the lid closed;

8th in a section along DD the 3 the cap of the 1 with the lid closed; such as

9 in a cut analogous to an object 8th , but with a differently designed snap connection between the lid and the jacket body.

With a cap 1 ( 1 ) for a container is in a disc-like lid 3 one to an opening 4 leading product delivery channel 5 intended ( 4 ). A joint 6 ( 2 . 8th ) serves for hinged holding the lid 3 on a jacket body 7 the cap 1 to the lid 3 around the joint 6 to be able to pivot while holding the lid 3 optionally in a closed position ( 4 ) to pivot in which the opening 4 from an inner surface 8th of the jacket body 7 is sealed, and in an open position ( 6 ), in which the opening 4 not from the shell body 7 is covered. A connection 9 , which is designed as a screw thread, serves for applying the cap 1 on the container, and for feeding product of the container via a recess 10 the cap 1 to the product delivery channel 5 , The joint 6 is designed as a snap connection. So can the lid 3 in a simple way to the otherwise complete cap 1 ( 2 ) are plugged. The then complete cap 1 ( 1 . 3 ) can then by manually pressing on a finger rest 19 be opened.

In the embodiment of 1 to 8th points the lid 3 on his cap inside 11 facing side two hinge recesses 12 on, to the cap inside 11 are open and one each with the jacket body 7 connected pivot pin 13 take up.

In contrast, the lid points 3 the cap 1 of the embodiment of 9 on his cap inside 11 facing side two pivot pins 13 on top of two with the shell body 7 connected joint recesses 12 be recorded.

Both embodiments have in common that in each case two undercuts 14 a joint recess 12 for snapping the joint recess 12 on a pivot pin 13 serve. On two opposite sides of the sheath body 7 is in each case a pivot pin 13 provided in a joint recess 12 intervenes. To each of the four undercuts 14 borders as a Einfädelhilfe an orientation slope 2 to even with inaccurate feeding of the lid 3 still an exact mounting of the lid 3 to reach. Two orientation slopes each 2 at a joint recess 12 serve as a funnel for a pivot pin to be used 13 ,

At the opening 4 is a seal 15 provided, which serves to cover 3 opposite the inner surface 8th of the jacket body 7 seal ( 5 ). The seal 15 has a first sealing surface 16 on the inner surface 8th on, against the second, at the opening 4 and on the lid 3 provided sealing surface 17 acts. On the lid 3 are two sealing webs 18 provided above and below the opening 4 run transversely to the pivoting direction. The seal 15 is by the against the sealing surface 16 set sealing webs 18 educated. It reliably prevents the product from escaping even if the lid is not closed exactly 3 , Furthermore, the sealing webs serve for stripping off on the inner surface 8th adhering product residues, so that there can occur no appreciable product incrustations.
