A lid mechanism that provides controlled pouring for granular product packaging boxes.

Abstract

The invention relates to a lid mechanism (1) that enables controlled dispensing of granular food or pharmaceutical products from a packaging box (100), preventing the product from spilling out all at once and uncontrollably. The lid mechanism (1) of the invention facilitates portioning by providing a structure that partially closes the outlet (101) of the packaging box (100) and directs the product flow to a smaller product outlet hole (14). The lid mechanism (1) of the invention prevents the product from spilling out suddenly and over a wide area thanks to a base flow restrictor (13) that narrows the outlet (101) of the packaging box (100), ensuring that only a controlled amount of product spills out of the product outlet hole (14) when the consumer tilts the packaging box (100).

Description

1 TARIFF A lid that allows controlled pouring for granular product packaging boxes. MECHANISM Technical Area The invention relates to packaging boxes containing granular food or pharmaceutical products, where the product is 5% with a lid mechanism that allows the consumer to take it in a controlled and measured manner. It is related. More specifically, the invention applies to packaging boxes for granular products, particularly those used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. To prevent the product from spilling uncontrollably from all the openings of the packaging when the lid is opened, A 10 that directs the product flow into a narrower outlet, allowing for controlled pouring. It is related to the lid mechanism. State of the Art In the packaging of granular products used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, the product Various lids to ensure storage conditions and offer practical use to the consumer. These mechanisms are used. The basic function of these mechanisms is to open the outlet of the packaging box by 15 by closing it to protect the product from external factors and allowing it to be taken out in a controlled manner when necessary. to provide. In the previous technique, the lid mechanisms used for granular products were generally simple flip-open mechanisms. They have resealable lids. For example, like chewing gum or chocolate candies in dragee form. The caps used on the products generally feature a simple design with a single wide pouring spout. These 20 The wide pouring spout prevents the consumer from spilling too much into their hand or around them, even when they only want to take one unit. This can cause a large number of products to spill, leading to both product waste and impractical results. It does not offer a use case. In this context, the consumer can obtain the desired quantity of product in a controlled manner with a single action, and When doing this, it is important to eliminate the risk of the entire product spilling out at once. 25 That's the problem. Current applications generally only offer "on" and "off" options, but It does not include an intermediate mechanism that controls the flow rate and speed of the product. The previous technique did not offer a completely effective solution to this problem. For example, it only provided a simple solution. In mechanisms consisting of a hinged lid, the entire outlet of the packaging is free when the lid is opened. 2 and the product flow is entirely dependent on the user's instantaneous tilt angle. This situation, especially for those who want to pick up food with one hand while driving or who want to practice portion control. This poses a significant usability problem for consumers. Similarly, rotary cap mechanisms offering different hole options also enable controlled “pouring”. It is insufficient for the purpose. The pouring spout on such caps also causes an uncontrolled flow. 5 However, other orifice options severely restrict flow, making them impractical. Both In this case, the outlet opening of the packaging box itself and the product outlet hole of the final lid mechanism There are no internal routing or flow restrictors regulating the flow between them. In conclusion, existing capping mechanisms used for granular products do not allow for controlled product distribution. and its inability to ensure measured and controlled pouring leads to sudden spills and product 10 It has disadvantages such as causing waste. This situation affects both ease of use and... An internal system that actively controls the flow, going beyond previous technical approaches in terms of functionality. This revealed the need for a new lid mechanism with a unique structure and the necessity of our invention. It places. Purpose and Brief Description of the Invention 15 The purpose of the invention is to provide a controlled, measured and portioned packaging of granular products. The goal is to create a lid mechanism that allows the liquid to be poured out in this way. Another purpose of the invention is to create a packaging box containing granular products, when the lid is opened... together, the product spills suddenly from all the openings of the packaging, leading to waste and difficulty in use. The aim is to create a lid mechanism to prevent the functionality problem that leads to its creation. 20 Another purpose of the invention is to partially close the outlet of the packaging box and control the flow of product itself. a valve containing an internal flow restrictor that directs flow to a narrower outlet orifice defined by it.

The subject of the invention is the lid mechanism (1), which is used especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries and By preventing the product inside from spilling out all at once and uncontrollably, it provides the consumer with portioned portions. It presents a structure that offers ease of use. The lid mechanism in question (1) basically; inside granular food or pharmaceutical products 20 A base part (11) fixed to a packaging box (100) in which it is located, with a movable base part (11) a cover (31) which is attached in some way and a hinge which provides the connection between these two elements element (21) includes elements. The base part (11) is a fixed part that can be attached to the packaging box (100) of the lid mechanism (1). It is part of the base part (11) outermost part of the lid mechanism (1) packaging box (100) outlet 25 It has an outer edge (12) of the base which ensures that it is tightly attached to the mouth (101). Base on part (11) when the lid mechanism (1) is connected to the packaging box (100) the outlet opening (101) always at least a part of it -preferably at least one-third of it for an effective limitation- There is a bottom flow restrictor (13) that keeps the product closed. Controlled release of the product. If there is a product outlet hole (14) that allows, then 30 in the area not surrounded by this flow restrictor (13). It is positioned. The size of the product outlet hole (14) is the outlet opening (101) of the packaging box (100). It is smaller than its size. The bottom flow restrictor (13) prevents the product from passing through the product outlet hole (14). It forces. Thus, the base flow restrictor (13) suddenly causes the product to bend when the packaging box (100) is tilted. and by preventing it from spilling over a wide area, it allows for controlled flow. Bottom flow limiter (13), outlet of the product in the packaging box (100) 35 This restricts the passage of the product through the mouth (101). In addition, it prevents the product from exiting through the product outlet hole (14). To facilitate this; on the side of the bottom flow restrictor (13) facing the packing box (100) There is a rounded circumferential edge (17). Around the product outlet hole (14), the lid (31) must remain in the closed position (K) and be locked. a base that protrudes axially from the base flow limiter (13) in the form of a ring that assists. The perimeter wall (15) has been formed. At the end of the base perimeter wall (15) there is a product outlet hole 5 (14) has a first end (16) configured to protrude radially. The hinge element (21) is a flexible structure that connects the base (11) and the lid (31). This The element is in an open position where the product outlet hole (14) is opened by pivoting the cover (31). (A) and the ability to switch between a closed position (K) where the product outlet hole (14) is completely closed. It provides. 10 The lid (31) is the movable part of the lid mechanism (1) that performs the opening and closing function. It is an element. The cover (31) is structured to fit the base part (11) into a cover wall (32) It has a ring-shaped structure configured to close the product outlet hole (14) in the closed position (K). There is a closing wall (33) that protrudes axially from the cover wall (32). The subject of the closing wall (33) is matched with the base perimeter wall (15) of the base part (11) of the product 15 It effectively blocks the outlet hole (14) and prevents product passage. At the end of the closing wall (33) Configured to protrude radially and to flex through the first end (16) By doing so, it provides a lock and seal between the base part (11) and the lid (31) in the closed position (K). There is a second end (34). The closed position (K) of the cover mechanism (1) given in Figure-4. As seen in the cross-section view; the first end (16) and the second end (34) of the packaging box (100) are vertical 20 It has a slight angle relative to its axis. Thanks to this angle, when the cover (31) is closed, the first end (16) and The second end (34) matches and locks together. Thus the lid (31) opens with a “click” sound. It is ensured that it is seated in place and a certain vertical "opening force" sufficient to separate them. The lid (31) is prevented from being opened unintentionally before application. On the cover (31), a cover perimeter wall (35) extends as a continuation of the cover wall (32) 25 The lid circumferential wall (35) is located so that the consumer can easily open and close the lid. It includes a latch (36) that forms a gripping surface. The bottom flow restrictor (13) protrudes axially outwards on the bottom flow restrictor. (13) extending at least partially in a ring shape around the perimeter wall of the cover (35) end There is a groove (18) in which part of it sits. Thus, the lid mechanism (1) is in the closed position (K) 30 When brought, the lid (31) is centered and prevented from sliding. 6 During use, the consumer should pull the latch (36) of the lid (31) upwards relative to the packaging box (100). By pushing, the lid mechanism (1) is brought to the open position (A). With this movement, the closing wall (33) opens the product It exits through the outlet hole (14). When the consumer tilts the packaging box (100), the granular product base flows out. With the guidance of the limiter (13), the product is poured out of the outlet hole (14) in a controlled manner. Process When finished, the lid mechanism (1) is brought back to the closed position (K) by pressing the lid (31) and 5 The closing wall (33) is fitted into the product outlet hole (14) so ​​that the outlet of the packaging box (100) (101) will be securely closed. 15
