The present invention refers to a container with a closure area that has a cover that is attached to the container in a resistant manner and a closure cap that extends over the cover and is mounted opposite to the cover, where both the cover and the closing cap respectively have a pouring opening that can be aligned exactly, and the closing cap has a closing area that can be aligned exactly with the pouring opening, where the opening of poured into the cover is sealed by a sealing element that, for emptying the container, can be brought to at least a partially open state of the sealing element, the sealing element is arched outwardly by way of a cap with respect to the container and has at least one flange that protrudes radially outwards.

A package of this class is known by application DE 197 06 112 C2. In the case of this container which is particularly described as a beverage can, the problem arises that after filling of this can and after beading of the cover, the liquid introduced into the can can penetrate between the cover and the cap of closing, since the opening in the cover is not closed before the application of the closing cap. Other problems of the known container are the practically impossible cleaning of the cover that is dirty before the application of the closure cap without contamination of the product with cleaning agents or dirt, as well as the highly difficult execution of a closure with safety seal understandable to end consumers - in particular without additional components. Similar containers are especially suitable for free flow or fluid products.

Other beverage cans of the class mentioned in the introduction are also described in applications US 5,692,633 A, DE 201 14 741 U1, WO 02/18225 A1, US 3,726,432 A, DE 297 12 852 U1, DE 298 12 936 U1, EP 0 340 835 A, WO 02/18225 A, as well as in the application WO 2007/054568 A1 which is disclosed in the preamble of claim 1.

It is an object of the present invention to design in such a way that, after filling of the container and the application of the cover, as well as the subsequent application of the closing cap, the introduced product cannot penetrate between the cover and the closure cap. Other objects of the invention consist of a secure closure of the cover already at the time of cleaning after filling of the container, as well as the manufacture of a security seal.

This object will be achieved based on a package of the kind mentioned in the introduction, where the sealing element is designed in an elastic manner. This allows deformation due to excess pressure in the container or as a result of a claim applied during the connection of the closure cap and the cover. Therefore, the elastic sealing element - as long as it reaches an opening in the closure cap - can extend inwards in this opening. This facilitates the seizing of the sealing element or the effect of the closure cap on the sealing element.

Therefore, when the container is overloaded, which happens partially in the case of a filling with liquids, to avoid an inclusion of air, as well as gas during the beading of the cover, in this conformation according to the invention ensures that no liquid can reach the cover through the pouring opening, since the pouring opening is closed through a sealing element.

Thus, after application of the closure cap, no liquid is found between the cover and the closure cap, so that all problems related to hygiene are suppressed. In the case of free flow products, the present invention is particularly advantageous, since no particles of the product are present between the cover and the closing cap, which could lead to a disturbance regarding the mobility of the closing cap. .

The arcuate outward conformation is particularly advantageous when a handle is provided for opening the sealing element, where it is considered advantageous that the handle is fixedly attached to the sealing element or is integrated in the closure cap. After torsion of the closing cap towards the opening position, the arched outward cap certainly exerts pressure through the pouring opening in the closing cap towards the outside, due to which the handle for opening the element Sealing can be grasped more easily.

The cover that is attached to the container can have any shape. It is important that the shape is chosen so that a closure cap can be moved relatively towards the cover. In the case of an elongated container an elongated cover is presented, where the closing cap is displaced laterally with respect to the cover. In view of the plurality of round cans used as a container,

considers it advantageous that the cover that is attached to the container is circular. This makes it possible to twist the closure cap in relation to the cover, to keep the pouring opening free or to seal it.

Therefore, by way of an improvement it is suggested that the closing cap be rotatably mounted.

The closing cap can be fixed to the cover by means of claws. For this, individual souls are sufficient to arrange the functions of the closing cap there. However, it is considered advantageous for the closure area to have a closure cap that extends over the cover as a whole. In this way, a particular stability of the closing cap is achieved, thus presenting a plurality of possibilities for the design of the closing cap, for there to arrange the most varied functions.

In particular, in the case of a round cover, constructively, it is considered particularly advantageous that both the cover and the closing cap respectively have an eccentric pour opening.

First of all, in the case of using materials of greater hardness for the closing cap and for the cover, it is considered advantageous that the pouring opening is associated with a sealing area surrounding the pouring opening.

It is considered advantageous that the closure area of the closure cap is associated with a sealing area surrounding the closure area. This sealing area can be arranged both in the cover and in the closing cap, it can be placed between the cover and the closing cap or it can be formed in one piece with the cover and / or the closing cap.

It is considered advantageous that the sealing area has a seal. In the present case, not only a separate sealing gasket is considered as a sealing gasket, but also an area of the cover or the closing cap designed as a sealing gasket, which produces a sealing gasket, is also considered as a gasket. special sealing effect.

Although reference is made within the scope of the invention to a sealing area, this does not exclude that the entire cover or the closing cap as a whole can be formed of a material that has sealing properties, in order to achieve sealing required.

A particular embodiment variant provides that between the cover and the closing cap a lifting device is provided that is effective between the cover and the closing cap, where said device causes a suppression of the sealing effect of a sealing area between the cover and the closing cap when the closing cap is twisted.

The transposition of the sealing element to an at least partially open state is thus facilitated, when the sealing element has a breaking point. This may be shaped such that the sealing element opens only partially, or the breaking point may also allow a complete opening of the sealing element.

The presence of a breaking point, therefore, is advantageous when the handle is integrated in the closing cap and, in particular, is designed as a formation of the closing cap and, when twisting it acts with the sealing element . Because of this, in particular in relation to the breaking point, the sealing element can be transposed to a state at least partially open, already during torsion of the closing cap.

The handle can also be held as a mobile die cutter tool in the closure cap. Thus, to open the sealing element, the die cutting tool must be pressed back after twisting the closing cap in the opening position, due to which the sealing element is partially or completely separated according to to the conformation of the blade of the die cutting tool.

The sealing element can be fixed by means of a flange to the inner side or the outer side.

An advantageous conformation results from the fact that the area of the edge of the opening in the cover is housed between two flanges of the sealing element. Therefore, this conformation is considered advantageous, since, in the first place, the sealing element can be arranged particularly resistant in the cover and, in addition, in this conformation, the upper flange or both flanges, in the closed position of the closure cap, you can surround the closure area thereof as a joint. This kind of joint design has the advantage that an internal connection between the joint and the cover can also be made in this case.

When the closing cap, in the closing area, has a recess for the at least partial housing of the sealing element, there is a particular advantage that the sealing element is arched outwardly as a cap. In this at least partially housed position of the sealing element in a recess of the closing cap, the sealing element is disturbed very slightly for opening, during torsion of the closing cap.

The closing cap, advantageously, can be made of a material that can be formed in one piece with the closing cap both the pouring opening and also the sealing gasket that surrounds the closing area.

However, it is also possible that both the pouring opening and the sealing gasket surrounding the closure area are fixed in the closure cap. In this case it is considered particularly advantageous that the sealing gaskets can partially enter recesses of the closure cap.

It is considered particularly advantageous that the sealing element, in an open state, remains attached to the cover, since this prevents the separate sealing part from being poured with the contents of the package, which would be particularly disadvantageous in the case of beverage cans, when drunk directly from the can.

In this design it is considered advantageous that the sealing element protrudes by pretension in the package after opening, so that it cannot cause discomfort during emptying of the container.

Alternatively or additionally, it is suggested that the sealing element, when moving the closing cap relatively with respect to the cover, act together with the claws that are fixed in the closing cap. This allows a support of the separated part or to be separated from the sealing element in the closure cap, so that it does not fall into the container or elsewhere in the surrounding environment. The claws can grip the sealing element or at least a part of the sealing element before a separation, hold it during the separation and, preferably, retain it even after its separation.

In this case it is considered advantageous that the sealing element is locked with the closure cap after opening. In this way, the sealing element, as well as the separate part of the sealing element, hangs in the closure cap, where it is possibly lifted in a non-detachable manner.

The lifting device comprises a locking cam that is formed in the cover or in the closing cap and a locking concavity shaped in such a way that it is associated respectively to a part, where the blocking cam and the concavity interacting here , through its geometric shape, determine the two positions of the closing cap, in which, on the one hand, both pouring openings are aligned and, on the other hand, the closing area of the closing cap is aligned with the opening of pouring on the deck. Through this conformation not only the necessary lifting of the closing cap is achieved during the movement of the closing cap with respect to the cover, but at the same time the two operating positions of the closing cap are determined, so that ensures that in one position the container opens completely and in the other position it closes completely.

In order to empty the container, in particular in the case of a liquid, to facilitate, as well as to accelerate the emptying process, a second opening in the cover is provided in another embodiment of the invention, where said opening is closed, preferably, through a second elastic sealing element. This second opening, when the sealing element is damaged, serves as a ventilation opening.

For the ventilation process, it is considered advantageous that the second opening in the roof is formed in a sector that is essentially opposite from the pouring opening. In this way, the air can circulate particularly favorably when the container is emptied.

For the opening of the sealing element, for this second opening, it is considered advantageous that the closing cap is provided with a projection which, in the opening position of the closing cap, penetrates the second sealing element and opens it.

It is considered particularly advantageous for the closure cap to have an additional sealing area that seals a second sealing element in the closed position. The second sealing element, which generally serves for ventilation during the pouring of liquids, is open after opening and, thus, allows the liquid to escape. The additional sealing area, which is preferably designed as a gasket, especially when the can is closed, allows the sealing of the second sealing element that is open.

There are different possibilities to open the sealing element. Together with the described possibilities of a handle that can be extracted or of a die-cutter that can press inwards, there is also the possibility of separating the sealing element horizontally. For this it is suggested that the closing cap has a blade.

In a simple variant of execution, the blade is provided to be arranged in the pouring opening. When the sealing element enters the pouring opening, it can be cut with the blade. Then, the closure cap is twisted a little backwards, so that the contents of the container can leave from the pouring opening.

In practical handling with the container it has been found as advantageous that the blade is arranged in another opening of the closure cap. In this way, the functions of cutting a part of the seal and the exit of the contents of the package from it are separated.

A simple embodiment provides that the additional opening consists of an elongated hole. This allows a sealing element that is aligned with the elongated hole to enter the opening and, through a movement of the closure cap relative to the cover, the sealing element can be opened.

In particular, when drinks that are under pressure, such as CO2-containing drinks, are transported in the package, pressures of several bars frequently arise. When the closure area of the closure cap exerts pressure against the seal in the closed position of the closure cap, a less stable shaped seal can withstand this pressure.

A particularly simple interaction between a blade that is fixed in the closure cap and a seal is achieved because, when the closure cap moves with respect to the cover, a portion of a prestressed seal rises inwards in an opening of the closure cap. In this case, the seal may be prestressed through a special deformation or it may be under a claim through the pressure of the closure cap against the seal until the seal rises within an opening of the closure cap.

It is considered particularly advantageous that the portion of the prestressed seal when the closure cap travels relative to the cover becomes audible in one position, in particular in the case of an opening of the closure cap. With a "plop" the seal jumps into the opening, where the seal is then cut through a movement of the closure cap with respect to the cover. However, an acoustic signal can also be achieved by jumping the seal into a cavity in the closure cap, thereby indicating a special position of the cover - preferably audible - in relation to the closure cap.

In order to facilitate the sealing of the seal at a predetermined point, the sealing element is expected to have a circumferential decrease in the engagement of the blade.

Likewise, it is considered particularly advantageous for the open seal to form a sealing area between the cover and the closure cap. It should be considered here that also after the separation of a part of the seal for the opening of the seal there is still sufficient sealing material to allow sufficient sealing between the cover and the closing cap.

To prevent loss of the cut part of the seal, the closure cap may have an opening with a coating. The coating, therefore, forms a cavity for housing at least a portion of the seal. This coating can be made of one piece with the closure cap or can be attached to it as an additional piece. In this case, preferably, it can be provided that the opening with the blade has a coating. In particular, in the case of high pressures in the package, it is thus prevented that a seal that is aligned with the opening in the closure cap opens by itself or in an uncontrolled manner and that the liquid flows out or that a part of the seal, accelerated by pressure, is fired outwards.

In particular, when a special opening is provided for the sealing of the seal, it is considered advantageous that the seal and the discharge opening in the closure cap are designed so that the seal cannot penetrate the discharge opening.

In order to guarantee the functions related to the opening of the seal and the emptying of the container in the correct order through a movement of the closing cap in relation to the cover, it is suggested that the closing cap can only move in one direction with respect to the cover.

In practice it has been shown that it is advantageous that the distance between the pouring opening and another additional opening is smaller than the diameter of the seal. This allows placement of the closure cap on the cover in any position.

Special possibilities of advertising or also related to the use of the closing cap can be indicated by an embossing for information that may be present in the closing cap.

As for the manufacturing technique, it is considered advantageous that the closure cap is made of a multi-component material. This makes it possible to provide particularly solid materials for joining the closure cap and the cover, while other qualities of the materials are required for the sealing areas.

An advantageous embodiment variant therefore provides that the closure cap has a metal frame with an added plastic part.

For the exemplary embodiments, an elasticity of the sealing element is required, so that the closure cap can deform in the vicinity of the closure cap. In a closed state, this allows the sealing element to be held with the closure cap.

In this case, it is considered preferred that the sealing element has a frame that produces a seal with respect to the closure cap.

It is considered advantageous that the sealing element has a folding bellows. This makes it possible to simply press a part of the sealing element in the package or also to extend a part of the sealing element, for example, as a spill.

In another embodiment, the sealing element is provided to have a sheet hinge. A sheet hinge or several sheet hinges allow to provide bending points by means of which a folding bellows or a defined deformation of the sealing element can be manufactured.

Although the present invention is explained in a round can below, the characteristics of the invention, according to the case of application, can also be used for a container in which the closure cap is movable.

Next, the present invention is explained in detail by different exemplary embodiments. The drawings show:

Figure 32: A cut through a can with a cover divided in two and a closure cap arranged on it.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, an example package 1 designed in the form of a beverage can has a cover 3 and a closure cap 4 which can rotate with respect to its closure area 2 to cover 3. Cover 3 has an eccentric pour opening 5 for emptying the contents. The closing cap 4 that can rotate with respect to the cover 3, but which in the present exemplary embodiment cannot be raised, also has an eccentric pour opening 6 which in the rotation position according to Figure 3 can be aligned exactly with the pouring opening 5 on the cover 3.

In addition, the closure cap 4 also has an eccentric closure area 7 which, in turn, such as the pouring opening 6, is eccentrically arranged and can be aligned exactly with the pouring opening 5 in the cover, such as shown in figure 2.

After filling the container 1, the cover 3, by way of example, is fixed through a flange in the container 1. In this case, the container 1, in case of housing liquids, can be filled in a reduced percentage, so that after the application of the cover 3 no air blisters are present. The closure cap 4 is then placed on it. In a state of non-use, the closure area 7 of the closure cap 4 is exactly aligned with the opening 5 in the cover 3, as shown in the figure 2.

When the cover 3 is placed on the container 1, the pouring opening 5 is hermetically closed with respect to the liquid by means of a sealing element 8. This sealing element 8, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is in the form of a cap arched outwards and has a flange 9 that protrudes radially outward. By means of this flange 9, the sealing element 8 is fixed on the inner side of the cover 3, by way of example through adhesion.

In a state of non-use, the sealing element 8 reaches a recess 10 of the closing cap 4 which is in the closing area 7. The sealing element 8 is provided with a handle 11 which after twisting of the cap of closing 4 from the position shown in figure 7 towards the position shown in figure 9, exits from the pouring opening 6 of the closing cap 4, thus enabling a tearing of the sealing element 8 at a breaking point 21, such as shown in figure 9.

After at least partial separation of the sealing element 8, the contents of the container 1 can be emptied. Figures 7 to 10 show the completely closed state in the original state corresponding to Figure 7, an intermediate position in Figure 8, the final position in Figure 9 before tearing the sealing element 8 and the state already partially torn in Figure 10

In the exemplary embodiments according to Figures 1 to 12, the closure cap 4 has a single flange 9 that protrudes radially, which is fixed on the lower side of the cover 3. In all embodiments according to the Figures 1 to 12, both the area around the pouring opening 6 in the closing cap 4, and the sealing area 7, are surrounded by a seal 12, as well as 13, to ensure that in the open state according to figure 10 no product can penetrate from the container between the closure cap 4 and the cover 3.

When closed again, the closing area 7 reaches the pouring opening 5 of the cover 3. Also in this state the sealing gasket 13 seals the space between the closing cap 4 and the cover 3, so that no liquid or other product particles can penetrate between the closure cap 4 and the cover 3.

In the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 11, the flange 9 of the cap-shaped sealing element 8 is fixed on the upper side of the cover 3.

The embodiment according to Figure 12 differs from all the embodiments represented until such time as the cap-shaped sealing element 8 has two flanges 9 and 9 'which between them house the opening edge of the cover 3.

In the embodiment according to Figure 13, the upper flange 9 '' is made essentially wider and thicker. Because of this, this flange 9 '' can serve as a sealing gasket, thereby replacing both the sealing gasket 12 surrounding the pouring opening 6 in the closing cap 4, as well as the sealing gasket 13 surrounding the area closing 7.

Thus, in order for a liquid drain to take place, it can deviate relatively quickly in the case of a relatively small discharge opening 5, a ventilation opening 22 is provided which is closed through a sealing element 14 while the container is in a state in which it has not yet been opened. The ventilation opening 22 and the sealing element 14 are shown particularly in Figures 4 and 5.

For the opening of this ventilation opening 22, a projection 15 is provided on the lower side of the closure cap 4, which in a closed state of the entire closure area engages in a cavity 16 in the cover 3, thus avoiding an elevation of the closure cap 4 in this closed state.

Figure 5 shows the state in which the ventilation opening 22 is closed through the sealing element 14. The area of the closing cap 4 that is located opposite to the sealing element 14 is surrounded by a gasket of sealing 17 which serves to seal the ventilation opening 22 after a new closure of the container 1, so that no liquid, as well as small particles of the product, can penetrate between the cover 3 and the closing cap 4 through the ventilation opening 22 After twisting the closure cap 4 from the position according to figure 5 to the position according to figure 6, the projection 15 penetrates the sealing element 14 by pricking it.

Figures 14 to 16 show a modified embodiment allowing another form of the opening of the sealing element 8. Figure 14 shows the state in which the closing area 7 of the closing cap 4 is placed on the sealing element 8. Figure 15 shows the sectioned representation in the area of the pouring opening 6 of the closure cap 4, where a die cutter tool 18 is located, which, in the position shown in Figure 16, pressing down the area of the element of sealing 8 in the form of a cap passes through it.

For this, the die-cutting element 18 is provided with a blade 23 over a partial area of the circumference, while another partial area 24 is made in an obtuse manner, so that a separation of the sealing element takes place, such as results from figure 16. The part of the sealing element that has not been separated is formed in such a way that, by claim, the separated part presses inwards in the container, where said state is shown in figure 16.

The advantage of this conformation of the sealing element resides in the fact that in the case of a can of beverage the die-cut part cannot be swallowed, but instead protrudes inwards in the container 1 without damaging the process of ingesting the beverage.

In order that the sealing gaskets 12, 13 are not damaged during torsion of the closing cap 4, a lifting device is provided which on the lower side of the closing cap 4 comprises a locking cam 19 and an associated locking concavity 20 to the latter in the area of the roof.

The geometric conformation of these two parts is realized in such a way that, at the beginning of a rotation of the closing cap 4 with respect to the cover 3, the closing cap 4 is elevated, where the sealing gaskets 12 and 13 are separated from the cover. In the case of the conformation according to figure 13, the closure cap 4 is released from the flange 9 '' which functions as a joint.

Since the pouring opening 6 in the closing cap 4 and the closing area 7 in the closing cap 4 are positioned exactly opposite, a rotation of the closing cap 4 by 180 ° is required for the locking cam 19 it engages again in the locking concavity 20. In one position, the pouring openings 5 and 6 of the cover 3 and the closing cap 4 align exactly with each other, while in the second position twisted in 180 ° the area of closure 7 is located above the opening 5 of the cover 3. Based on the representations of figures 1 to 4 it can be seen that the ventilation opening 22 of the pouring opening 5 in the cover 3 is located almost opposite , which contributes to good ventilation.

Figure 7 shows a closing cap 2 with a pouring opening 5. The schematic representation also shows an elongated hole 25, at which end a knife 26 is arranged. Inside the elongated hole 25 a sealing element 27 is indicated. protruding into the elongated hole 25. The sealing element 27 is held in the cover 28 by two flanges, while the cap-shaped coating 29 of the sealing element 27 is raised in the plane of a closing cap 30. The closing cap 30, at one end of the elongated hole 25, has a blade 26 that can be engaged with the sealing element 27 through a twist of the closing cap 30 in relation to the cover 28. The sealing element 27 presents here a circumferential decrease 31 which facilitates the separation of the cap 29 from the sealing element 27 by means of the blade 26.

Another embodiment example is described in Figures 20 to 31, where a closing cap interacts with a sealing element that is arranged in the cover.

Figure 20 shows a cover 40 of a can 41 with a sealing element 43 that is eccentrically placed in an opening 42 of the cover 40. The sealing element 43 has a pretension through its formation, which deals with that a cap 44 protrudes to a high degree above the level of the cover 40.

Figures 22 and 23 show how when the closure cap 45 is placed the cover 44 of the sealing element 4 is pressed back. A hinge of elastic sheet 46 in the sealing element 43 makes it possible to press the sealing element 43 inwards into the internal space of the can, so that the cover 44 of the sealing element 43 is located directly above the cover 40 of the can 41. The sealing element 43 thus remains under pressure, so that it also attempts to jump outwards. Since the closing cap 45 in the position placed above the sealing element 43 does not, however, have any opening, the closing cap 45 holds the sealing element 43 maintaining an internal pressure inside the can 40. This is very relevant. particularly in the case of cans with drinks containing carbonic acid. In this case, the upper flange 47 of the sealing element 43 serves as a seal between the cover 40 of the can 41 and the closure cap

Four. Five.

Figure 23 shows how the closure cap 45 covers the sealing element 43.

In figures 24 to 27 it is shown how the closing cap 45, through a rotation in the direction of the arrow 48, moves an opening in the manner of an elongated hole 49 with a blade 50 on the sealing element 43. In when the sealing element 43 can completely penetrate the elongated hole 49, it jumps with a "plop" into the elongated hole 49 and, thereby, in the plane of action of the blade 50. The user of the beverage can then recognizes acoustically and optically the integrity of the seal 43 within the elongated hole.

Figures 28 and 29 show how the blade 50 separates the cover 44 from the sealing element 43, as it is displaced by the closure cap 45 below the cover 44.

When the closing cap 45 is rotated again with respect to the cover 40 of the can 41, the cap 44 is completely separated and the elongated hole rotates outwardly through the opening 42 in the cover 40. Due to this, a pouring opening 51 reaches the area above the opening 42 in the can cover 40, so that the contents of the can can flow outwardly through the pouring openings 42 and 51. Also in this position the upper flange 47 of the sealing element 43 produces a sealing effect between the cover 40 of the can 41 and the closing cap 54.

A special embodiment of a closure of a can 60 is shown in Fig. 32. In this case, a two-piece cover 62 is placed on the can 61. This two-piece cover 62 is composed of a metal annular element 63 that is flanged in the can 61 and a plastic inner part 64 that is fastened by flanges. In the plastic inner part 64 a sealing element 65 is formed which interacts with a recess 66 in a closing cap 67 and, by twisting the closing cap 67 towards the cover 62, a pouring opening 68 can be reached.

Also in this exemplary embodiment, an opening of the seal 65 can take place by means of a handle or a knife.
