AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a reclosable closure for containers that store liquids, such as beverages. The closure is easy to manufacture and requires minimal space in the container. It includes a fastening insert with a hollow truncated-cone shaped bearing and a rotary closure with a closure cone. The closure cone has one or more outlet openings that form channels between the interior of the container and the interior of the bearing. The closure can be opened and closed repeatedly, making it ideal for containers that store carbonated beverages. The technical effects of the invention are that it provides a cost-effective solution for low-space requirements and achieves a high degree of sealing during closure of the container."

Problems solved by technology

However, this solution is not suitable for containers in which liquids, for example, carbonated drinks are stored.
It is particularly disadvantageous with this solution that the closure requires a complex structure as a result of which the container has an increased space requirement.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]FIG. 1 shows a first preferred embodiment of the reclosable closure according to the invention in an exploded view. The closure shown comprises a fastening insert 01 and a rotary closure 02 which are shown at a moment prior to mounting of a container otherwise not shown on a lid 03. The lid 03 has a circular opening 04 in which the closure is to be inserted. In the example shown the opening 04 is disposed centrally on the lid 03. However, the opening 04 can also be disposed outside the centre of the lid 03. The fastening insert 01 has a circular fastening collar 06, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the opening 04. Upon inserting the fastening insert 01 into the opening 04, the fastening collar 06 enters into the opening 04 whereupon the fastening insert 01 impacts against the lid 03 of the container with a retaining ring 07. The retaining ring 07 is slightly deformable in order to be pressed elastically against the lid 03.

Abstract

There is provided a reclosable closure for a container storing a liquid. The reclosable closure comprises of a fastening insert for inserting the closure into an opening of the container having a hollow truncated-cone shaped bearing formed in the fastening insert, the inner wall of which has at least one passage opening which extends over a section of the inner circumference of the bearing, which opens into a surface of the fastening insert to be turned towards the interior of the container, and which forms a component of a channel extending between the interior of the container to be closed and the interior of a hollow truncated-cone shaped bearing; and a rotary closure comprising a closure cone mounted at least partially rotatably in the bearing, which closure cone has the outer shape of a truncated cone and at least one outlet opening, which extends over a section of the outer circumference of the closure cone and opens into a surface of the rotary closure to be directed towards the outside of the container.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a reclosable closure for a container storing a liquid, for example, a beverage container. The invention further relates to a beverage can and a beverage carton having such a closure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]DE 198 02 953 A1 discloses a method for manufacturing a beverage can made of sheet metal. In this method a reclosable closure system with screw cap is inserted in a central opening.[0003]DE 200 04 152 U1 discloses a can having a lid turn-lock fastener which is disposed on the can so that it can rotate about its central axis. This comprises a bead-like projection which serves as an opening means for tearing a predetermined breaking line and for forming a lid wall opening when the bead-like projection is guided away over the lid wall by turning the lid turn-lock fastener.[0004]DE 93 03 734 U1 discloses a drinking closure for a drinking bottle having a mouthpiece which is movable in the direction of the axis of the dri...
