Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suspension device for containers equipped with a closure cap, such as bottles, cans, tubes and the like made of glass, plastic or metal, with a suspension loop preferably formed from a cord or the like, with its ends attached to the closure cap.
  • a closure cap such as bottles, cans, tubes and the like made of glass, plastic or metal
  • a suspension loop preferably formed from a cord or the like, with its ends attached to the closure cap.
  • the hanging loop usually consists of an injection molded part made of flexible plastic, which is shaped in the form of a cord, a cord, a band or the like.
  • the hanging loop is equipped in the region of its ends with a push-button-like attachment which can be pressed into a correspondingly shaped recess on the back of the container.
  • a push-button-like attachment which can be pressed into a correspondingly shaped recess on the back of the container.
  • the recess on the back of the container makes the container shape for the production of the container more complicated and an additional operation is required to assemble the suspension loop and container.
  • a particular disadvantage, however, is that the hanging loop protrudes far from the container after assembly, which has a disruptive effect on the packaging process, shipping and sales.
  • Such a construction with a semi-ring-shaped suspension loop is known for example from DE-3 147 097 AI.
  • This semi-ring-shaped suspension loop which is formed in one piece with the closure cap, is provided with a plate-shaped carrier to which a stopper is fastened, with which the outlet opening of the container can be closed.
  • the hanging loop is held in the closed state of the container in the immediate vicinity of the outer surface of the closure cap, but a protrusion of the hanging loop with the disadvantages described above is not prevented.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a completely new type of suspension device in which the problems associated with the protrusion of the suspension loop from the container or from the closure cap do not occur.
  • suspension loop is at least partially detachably sunk in a groove formed in the cap and the length is such that it lies closely against the cap in the recessed position in the groove.
  • a suspension device is created for the first time, in which the suspension loop is fully integrated into the closure cap due to the arrangement in the groove. There are therefore no protruding sections which interfere with the feeding to the automatic sealing machine, when the sealing cap is screwed onto the container, during packaging, during shipping and when selling.
  • the known construction according to DE-3 147 097 AI already has the task of creating a container in which the suspension loop in the closed position of the container assumes a position that does not necessarily protrude from the container.
  • the known construction only reduces the extent to which the hanging loop protrudes from the container, but does not achieve the full integration of the hanging loop caused by the features according to the invention, which avoids the problems described at the outset.
  • the ends of the suspension loop can be attached to the closure cap in any manner.
  • the suspension loop is formed in one piece with the closure cap in a manner known per se, i.e. is produced together with this in one operation. In this manufacturing process, the suspension loop can already be given the shape required for sinking into the groove.
  • the groove for the hanging loop can be guided over the closure cap in any way.
  • a symmetrical or asymmetrical position of the groove on the closure cap can be selected.
  • a particularly expedient embodiment is achieved, however, if the groove extends over the top of the closure cap.
  • Suspension devices of the type according to the invention are particularly suitable for closure caps, the dispensing opening for the contents of the container being covered by a closure flap.
  • the suspension loop runs in the recessed position in the groove over the closing flap. At In such a configuration, the suspension loop secures the closure flap during shipping and transportation, so that unintentional opening and thus leakage of the container contents is avoided.
  • the hanging loop has a securing function during shipping and transportation.
  • the hanging loop can also have an originality function in addition to the securing function. For example, by arranging a sealing mark or the like on the hanging loop, it can be made visible whether the container has already been opened or whether the container is still in its original closed state.
  • the hanging loop can run over the closing flap in any way.
  • a particularly secure position fixation of the suspension loop is achieved, however, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, when the closure flap is equipped with a groove which is aligned with the groove arranged in the closure cap.
  • a container 1 made of plastic or the like is equipped with a closure cap 2.
  • the closure cap 2 has on its top 3 an outlet opening 4 for the contents of the container.
  • This dispensing opening 4 can be closed with a closure flap 5 which is integrally connected to the closure cap 2 in a manner known per se via a film hinge 6.
  • a groove 7 runs over the upper side 3 of the closure cap 2.
  • the closure flap 5 is also equipped with a groove 8 which is aligned with the groove 7 arranged in the closure cap 2.
  • a suspension loop 9 is molded onto the closure cap 2 in the area of its lower edge below the film hinge 6.
  • This hanging loop 9 is designed such that it has the structure of a cord, a cord or the like.
  • the length of the suspension loop 9 is dimensioned such that the suspension loop in the recessed position in the grooves 7 and 8 (see FIG. 1) lies closely against the closure cap 2. In this way, problems with feeding to the automatic sealing machine, screwing the sealing cap onto the container, packaging, shipping and sales are avoided.
  • the hanging loop In the recessed position in the groove, the hanging loop has already described as a start - a safety function.
  • the closing flap 5 is held in its closed position by the hanging loop 9 lying in the groove 8, so that unintentional opening and thus leakage of the container contents is avoided.
  • the hanging loop 9 also has an originality function, as was also described at the beginning.
  • Containers with suspension devices of the type according to the invention reach the consumer in a state as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the suspension loop 9 lies in the groove 7 extending over the top of the closure cap 2 and in the remaining sections closely against the outer wall of the closure cap.
  • the closing flap 5 is pushed upwards in the direction of the arrow P, as shown in FIG. Due to this movement of the closing flap 5, the suspension loop 9 is lifted out of the groove 7. Due to its elasticity, the suspension loop 9 then jumps into the position shown in FIG. H. a pivoting back of the closure flap 5 remains in the closed position. This means that after the first opening of the container, the hanging loop 9 remains in the determination position shown in FIG. 3, in which it can fulfill its hanging function.
