Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluß, insbesondere Flaschenverschluß, für einen Behälter.The invention relates to a closure, in particular Bottle stopper, for a container.

Insbesondere bei Flaschen, die ein kohlensäurehaltiges Getränk enthalten, stellt sich immer wieder das Problem, daß erkannt werden muß, ob diese Flasche bereits geöff­ net wurde. Dies gilt nicht nur für den Verkäufer dieser Flasche, die sich beispielsweise in einem Flaschenkasten befindet, für den es unangenehm ist, wenn der Kunde hinterher feststellt, daß bereits eine oder mehrere Flaschen geöffnet wurden, sondern auch für den Verbraucher selbst, da aus einer bereits geöffneten Flasche eher die Kohlensäure entweicht, und damit der Inhalt ungenießbar wird.Especially for bottles that are carbonated Containing drink, the problem always arises that it must be recognized whether this bottle has already been opened was not. This does not only apply to the seller of these Bottle, for example, in a bottle crate for whom it is uncomfortable when the customer afterwards finds that one or more Bottles have been opened, but also for consumers even because from an already opened bottle the Carbonic acid escapes, making the content inedible becomes.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist jedoch nicht nur auf kohlen­ säurehaltige Getränke enthaltende Flaschen beschränkt, sondern bezieht sich auf eine Vielzahl von möglichen Be­ hältern, wobei die Behälter auch unter einem Unterdruck stehen können oder drucklos befüllt sind. However, the present invention is not limited to coal limited bottles containing acidic beverages, but refers to a variety of possible Be keep, the container also under a vacuum can stand or are filled without pressure.  

Bislang werden in der Regel zur Feststellung, ob eine Flasche bereits geöffnet wurde, am Verschluß Sicherheits­ streifen angeordnet, die dann brechen, wenn der Verschluß geöffnet wird. Allerdings haben diese Sicherheitsstreifen den Nachteil, daß sie meist erst dann brechen, wenn der Verschluß bereits ein Stück weit geöffnet wurde. Oftmals versagen diese Sicherheitsstreifen auch und bleiben am Verschluß hängen. Ferner ist es oft nur durch genaues Hinsehen erkennbar, ob der Sicherheitsstreifen bereits ge­ brochen ist. Er befindet sich auch meist am Flaschenrand, so daß bei einer oberflächlichen Kontrolle beispielsweise im Supermarkt, bei der nur die Oberfläche des Verschlusses betrachtet wird, nicht erkannt werden kann, ob der Sicher­ heitsstreifen bereits gebrochen ist.So far, it has generally been used to determine whether a Bottle has already been opened, on the safety cap strips arranged, which break when the closure is opened. However, these have security strips the disadvantage that they usually only break when the Closure has already been opened a bit. Often times these security strips also fail and remain on Hang the clasp. Furthermore, it is often only through precise Look to see whether the security strip is already ge is broken. It’s mostly on the edge of the bottle, so that with a superficial control, for example in the supermarket, where only the surface of the closure is considered, it cannot be recognized whether the safe is already broken.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verschluß der oben genannten Art zu schaffen, wel­ cher diese Nachteile nicht aufweist, und bei dem vor allem auch bei einem flüchtigen Betrachten bereits erkennbar ist, ob der den Verschluß tragende Behälter geöffnet wurde.The present invention is based on the object to create a closure of the type mentioned above, wel cher does not have these disadvantages, and above all is already recognizable when you take a quick look, whether the container carrying the closure has been opened.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß bei einer mechanischen Verformung der Verschluß zumindest teil­ weise eine Färbung erhält bzw. seine Färbung ändert.To solve this problem that leads to a mechanical deformation of the closure at least partially wise receives a color or changes its color.

Durch den Über- oder Unterdruck steht der Verschluß und insbesondere der Werkstoff, aus dem der Verschluß be­ steht, unter einer gewissen Vorspannung. Wird diese Vor­ spannung aufgehoben, so ändert sich die innere Struktur des Verschlusses. Hierauf reagiert eine Einfärbung des Verschlusses, so daß deutlich die Farbe des Verschlusses von den benachbarten Verschlüssen zu unterscheiden ist.Due to the overpressure or underpressure, the closure and in particular the material from which the closure be is under a certain bias. Will this before released, the internal structure of the Closure. This is reacted to by coloring the Closure, so that clearly the color of the closure to be distinguished from the neighboring closures.

Aber auch beim Aufdrehen eines nicht unter Druck stehenden Verschlusses kann aufgrund von dessen Form eine Verformung stattfinden, die zu einer Farbänderung führt. But also when turning on a non-pressurized one Closure can deform due to its shape take place, which leads to a color change.  

Die vorliegende Erfindung kann nicht nur auf Schraubver­ schlüsse angewendet werden, sondern beispielsweise auch auf Kronkorken oder andere bekannte Verschlüsse. Vor allem ist eine mechanische Verformung dann gegeben, wenn der Kron­ korken von einem Öffner angegriffen und geknickt wird.The present invention is not limited to screwdrivers conclusions are applied, but also for example Bottle caps or other known closures. Most of all mechanical deformation is given when the crown cork is attacked by an opener and kinked.
