  • Patent number: 11820564
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a safety closure, wherein in a first step, a monolithic injection-molded part is made having, one behind the other in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L), a rotary closure with a closure cap, a plurality of break-off points and an actuation piece, and in a second step, a force acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) is applied to the injection-molded part such that the closure cap and the actuation piece move against each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) and the closure cap slides at least partially into the actuation piece, the actuation piece being elastically deformed by the first engagement piece during the sliding-in movement so as to take an oval shape and then regaining its original shape once the sliding-in movement has been completed.

  • Publication number: 20230017122
    Abstract: The dosing device (1) for dispensing a flowable substance comprises a cap (2) with a pivot axis (S) and a closing part (4) arranged in the pivot axis (S), the closing part (4) dividing the pivot axis (S) into a flow chamber (2t) and a partial control chamber (2u), wherein upon pouring, the partial control chamber (2u) is filled with the flowable substance, and wherein the flowable substance is discharged via the flow chamber (2t) and a discharge opening (3b) until the closing part (4) is rotated to a position at which the discharge opening (3b) is closed by the closing part (4), preventing further discharge of the flowable substance.

  • Patent number: 11365998
    Abstract: The dosing device is intended for a neck for pouring defined amounts from a container or hose. It consists of a spout attachment that can be screwed or pushed onto the neck, and that optionally can be closed by a separate lid and has a dosing control chamber (14) with variable volume. As a characterizing feature, this chamber fills up from empty when pouring. Said chamber is formed by the space between a control chamber limiter and the interior of a dosing piston (10) and is filled with liquid when pouring a dose, while liquid at (D1) flows down past the dosing piston (10) to the spout (3). Finally, the downwardly displaced dosing piston (10) closes the spout (3) when the control chamber (14) is full. The dose quantities to be poured are adjustable in that the path of the dosing piston (10) can be limited on its side facing the container or hose. The control chamber limiter is variably displaceable axially with respect to the dosing device into the equipped neck and can be held fixedly in any position.

  • Patent number: 11161658
    Abstract: The closure (1) has a cover cap (2), which is retractably formed on the closure (1) by means of a hinge (3). On the sides of the closure (1) and the cover cap (2), barbs (12, 27) are formed that yield outwardly, when shutting the cover cap (2) due to bulging of the cover cap (2) transversely to the closing direction. The barbs (12) on the closure (1) thus slide over their outer edge and then engage by elastic reversal of the bulge. The cover cap (2) is then fixed onto the closure (1) in a sealing and secure manner. The cover cap (2), using its front region, rests with its edge (11) on a step (9) on the closure (1). This edge (9) is slidable onto the plane of the step (9) by pressing on the front region in the direction of the hinge (3). This creates a bilateral bulge of the lateral edges (10) of the cover cap (2) so that the barbs (26) on the cover cap (2) disengage from those (12) on the closure (1).

  • Patent number: 10234317
    Abstract: The dosing device consists, for example, of a closure, having a closure body (1) with sealing closing means (7), which can be placed in a sealing manner on the connector. The metering means of the closure consist of just two components. There is first, seated securely in the closure body (1), a hollow cup (4) having, on the bottom side of the cup (4), a window (12) arranged in its side wall. The second component is a cap-shaped metering piston (10) having, on the upper side of the cap, a projection (5) which extends in the axial direction. This metering piston (10) with projection (5) fits into the cup (4), wherein its projection (5) covers and closes the window (12). The metering piston (10) is able to move axially in the cup (4) and its projection (5) is able to pivot to a limited degree toward the outer side of the window (12). In the pivoted-out state, it forms, together with the cup (4), an open valve which is otherwise closed.

  • Patent number: 10124938
    Abstract: This pouring closure permits controlled multi-side pouring by means of a canister spout. The pouring closure consists of a spout attachment (2), which forms a channel (14), which is reduced in size with respect to the spout and an upper outer edge of which forms a protruding drop lip (11). A closure cover (1), which acts as a jet former, forms a pipe (4), which extends downward and which fits into a channel (14) on the spout attachment (2) in a sealing manner. The pipe (4) extending downward has a lateral window (5), which extends at least around 90° of the pipe circumference. The remaining pipe circumference is doubled-walled. The interior thus formed leads toward the outside in the axial direction at the lower end of the pipe (4) as an air channel (7), and the air channel (7) likewise leads toward the outside only in the upper region of the window (5) laterally on both sides of the window.

  • Patent number: 8453858
    Abstract: A closure cap for containers has a cap mantle, a circular head portion with a central axis and a pivoting member (4). The cap mantle extends in the same general direction as the central axis, and in which, the cap mantle has a ripping-open-section extending circumferentially with respect thereto. The pivoting member (4) is attached to the ripping-open-section and extends in the same general direction as the central axis. Towards the head portion, the ripping-open-section comprises a thin region, which extends circumferentially with respect to the central axis and which forms a rotational axis. The pivoting member comprises a stop member, which extends in the same general direction as the central axis at least up to the rotational axis. The form of the stop member and its relative, spaced position with respect to the head portion are such that pivoting of the pivoting member around the rotational axis causes the stop member to lie against the head portion.

  • Patent number: 7775400
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rotatable, reclosable closure (1) comprises a base (2) and a cap (3) which is mounted so as to be twistable about a common axis of rotation (D) relative to the base (2). The base (2) encompasses an outer sleeve (2a) that extends coaxial to the axis of rotation (D) and is provided with a laterally protruding spout (2b). The cap (3) is fitted with an inner sleeve (3a) that runs coaxial to the axis of rotation (D) and is disposed inside the outer sleeve (2a). The inner sleeve and outer sleeve (3a, 2a) are designed in a mutually adapted manner such that the closure (1) features a first defined rotary position (R1) in which the interior space of the outer sleeve (2a) extending into the spout (2b) is sealed by the inner sleeve (3a) while the closure (1) features a second defined rotary position (R2) in which the inner sleeve (3a) at least partly unblocks the interior space of the outer sleeve (2a) towards the spout (2b).
