Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlußkappe aus Kunststoff für Ventile in sogenannten KEG-Fässern, bestehend aus einer Abdeckplatte und einer zylindrischen Führung, die die das Ventil aufnehmende Platte umfaßt.The invention relates to a closure cap made of plastic for valves in so-called KEG barrels, consisting of a cover plate and a cylindrical guide which comprises the plate receiving the valve.

Bei den sogenannten KEG-Fässern handelt es sich um Metallfässer verschiedener Größe, die zur Aufnahme von Bier bestimmt sind. Der Boden dieser Fässer ist mit einem Ventil versehen, das mit einer Entnahmevorrichtung verbunden werden kann. Beim Aufsetzen der Entnahmevorrichtung wird am Ventil abgedichtet, und außerdem ein Druck auf ein Verschlußglied des Ventils ausgeübt, so daß der Inhalt über ein Rohr, das bis zur gegenüberliegenden Faßwand reicht, aus dem Inneren entnommen werden kann bzw. durch den inneren Kohlensäuredruck herausgedrückt wird.The so-called KEG kegs are metal kegs of various sizes that are designed to hold beer. The bottom of these barrels is provided with a valve that can be connected to a removal device. When placing the removal device is sealed on the valve, and also a pressure is exerted on a closure member of the valve, so that the content can be removed from the inside via a tube that extends to the opposite barrel wall or is pressed out by the internal carbonic acid pressure.

Das Ventil steht gegenüber dem Boden, in dem es gehalten wird, etwas vor. Am Faß wird das Ventil durch einen umlaufenden Flansch geschützt.The valve protrudes slightly from the floor in which it is held. The valve on the barrel is protected by a circumferential flange.

Ein zusätzlicher Schutz für das Ventil ist beim Transport dieser Fässer nötig. Hierfür sind Abdeckkappen aus Kunststoff bekannt, die dem Flansch des Ventils angepaßt sind, so daß sie aufgedrückt werden können, und durch einen Haltewulst halten. Mittels der Abschlußkappe kann auch der Faßinhalt gekennzeichnet werden. Nach der Entleerung des Fasses soll die Abdeckkappe wieder aufgedrückt werden, um den Verschluß zu schützen, bis das Faß gereinigt und erneut gefüllt wird.Additional protection for the valve is necessary when transporting these barrels. For this purpose plastic caps are known, which are adapted to the flange of the valve so that they can be pressed on, and hold by a retaining bead. The barrel content can also be marked using the end cap. After the barrel has been emptied, the cover cap should be pushed back on to protect the closure until the barrel is cleaned and refilled.

Bei Fässern mit einem Verschluß der vorbeschriebenen Art läßt es sich nicht ausschließen, daß in seltenen Fällen einmal die Füllung des Fasses nicht vollständig gelingt, beispielsweise weil nach dem Füllen nicht sofort ein dichter Verschluß des Ventils erreicht wird, weil die Füllung aus anderen Gründen unvollständig ist, oder weil beim Transport Leckagen auftreten. Außerdem ist es bei dem bekannten Verschluß möglich, daß unkontrollierbar geöffnet und ein Teil des Inhalts entnommen wird. Bei Reklamationen kann also nicht geprüft und unterschieden werden zwischen unvollständig gefüllten Fässern und Leckagen auf dem Transport einerseits und Manipulationen am Verschluß andererseits.In the case of drums with a closure of the type described above, it cannot be ruled out that, in rare cases, the filling of the barrel may not be completely successful, for example because the valve is not immediately sealed after filling, because the filling is incomplete for other reasons or because leaks occur during transport. In addition, with the known closure, it is possible for it to be opened in an uncontrollable manner and for part of the contents to be removed. In the event of complaints, it is therefore not possible to check and differentiate between incompletely filled barrels and leaks during transport on the one hand and manipulations on the closure on the other.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Verschlußkappe für derartige Fässer mit solchen Verschlüssen vorzusehen, die einen sicheren Schutz auf den Transport bietet und unkontrollierbare Manipulationen unmöglich macht.It is an object of the invention to provide a closure cap for such barrels with such closures, which offers reliable protection during transport and makes uncontrollable manipulation impossible.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch eine Verschlußkappe der eingangs genannten Art und schlägt vor, daß die Verschlußkappe Sperrelemente aufweist, die an der zylindrischen Führung nach innen federn und unter die Platte greifen.The invention solves this problem by a cap of the type mentioned and proposes that the cap has locking elements which spring inwards on the cylindrical guide and engage under the plate.

Die Platte, die das Ventil aufnimmt, weist einen Abstand' zum Faßboden auf. Zwischen Faßboden und 'der dem Faßboden zugewandten Seite der Platte sitzen die Sperrelemente an der zylindrischen Führung. Die Sperrelemente sind so angeordnet, daß die Verschlußkappe nicht abgenommen werden kann, ohne daß die Sperrelemente beschädigt, z. B. abgerissen werden, so daß die Sperrelemente anzeigen, ob die Verschlußkappe abgenommen wurde oder nicht.The plate which receives the valve is at a distance from the bottom of the barrel. Between barrel bottom and 'the side facing the barrel bottom side of the plate the locking elements sitting on the cylindrical guide. The locking elements are arranged so that the cap cannot be removed without the locking elements being damaged, e.g. B. be torn off so that the locking elements indicate whether the cap has been removed or not.

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn die Sperrelemente von außen sichtbar sind.It is advantageous if the locking elements are visible from the outside.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist sofort zu erkennen, ob die Sperrelemente beschädigt oder abgerissen sind. Unverletzte Sperrelemente können z. B. ertastet werden.In this embodiment, it can be seen immediately whether the locking elements are damaged or torn off. Undamaged locking elements can e.g. B. can be felt.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform sind Sichtfenster für die Sperrelemente vorgesehen. Diese Sichtfenster, die in der zylindrischen Führung angeordnet sind, lassen schnell erkennen, ob eine Beschädigung der Sperrelemente vorliegt.In another embodiment, viewing windows are provided for the locking elements. These viewing windows, which are arranged in the cylindrical guide, quickly reveal whether the locking elements are damaged.

Die Sichtfenster können entweder nur in der zylindrischen Führung angeordnet sein oder sich bis in die Abdeckplatte der Verschlußkappe erstrecken. Erstreckt sich das Sichtfenster bis auf die Abdeckplatte der Verschlußkappe,. so ist mit einem Blick von oben eine etwaige Manipulation erkennbar.The viewing window can either be arranged only in the cylindrical guide or extend into the cover plate of the closure cap. Extends the viewing window to the cover plate of the cap. any manipulation can be seen at a glance from above.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn die Sichtfenster im wesentlichen den Abmessungen der Sperrelemente entsprechen. Dies vereinfacht auf der einen Seite die Fertigung, und auf der anderen Seite wird eine Manipulation erschwert, da zwischen den Sperrelementen und den Sichtfenstern kein Spalt entsteht, in den mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug gegriffen werden kann.It has proven to be advantageous if the viewing windows essentially correspond to the dimensions of the locking elements. On the one hand, this simplifies production, and on the other hand, manipulation is made more difficult because there is no gap between the blocking elements and the viewing windows, which can be reached with a suitable tool.

Diese Ausführungsform erleichtert zudem das Aufsetzen der Verschlußkappe auf das Ventil. Beim Aufdrücken können die Sperrelemente in die Fenster zurückfedern und behindern das Aufsetzen nicht. Ist die Verschlußkappe über das Ventil geschoben, federn die Sperrelemente wieder nach innen und greifen unter die Platte des Ventils.This embodiment also makes it easier to put the cap on the valve. When pressed on, the locking elements can spring back into the window and do not hinder the installation. If the cap is pushed over the valve, the locking elements spring back inwards and reach under the valve plate.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die Sperrelemente relativ zahlreich sind, da das einen zusätzlichen Schutz gegen unkontrolliertes Öffnen darstellt. Durch die gleichmäßige Anordnung wird ein leichtes Öffnen bei vorschriftsmäßigem Gebrauch erreicht.It is particularly advantageous if the locking elements are relatively numerous, since this represents additional protection against uncontrolled opening. The even arrangement ensures easy opening when used as directed.

Es hat sich als günstig erwiesen, wenn die Sperrelemente mit einem unteren Teil der zylindrischen Führung über eine dünne Bruchstelle, z. B. eine Perforierung, verbunden sind. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Bruchstelle verschiedene Wandstärken aufweist. Als besonders günstig hat es sich erwiesen, wenn etwa in der Mitte der Bruchstelle eine etwas verdickte Stelle sitzt, die aber dünner ist als die Wandstärke der Verschlußkappe. Beim ersten Abnehmen der Verschlußkappe reißen die Sperrelemente nicht ganz ab, sondern bleiben an den dünneren Stellen hängen. Die Sperrelemente können nicht herabfallen und die Ventilfunktion beeinträchtigen.It has proven to be advantageous if the locking elements with a lower part of the cylindrical guide over a thin break, z. B. a perforation are connected. It is advantageous if the breaking point has different wall thicknesses. It has proven to be particularly favorable if there is a somewhat thickened point in the middle of the break, which is, however, thinner than the wall thickness of the closure cap. When the cap is removed for the first time, the locking elements do not tear off completely, but stick to the thinner points. The locking elements cannot fall down and impair the valve function.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein Teil der zylindrischen Führung abreißbar.In another embodiment of the invention, part of the cylindrical guide can be torn off.

Die Abrißstelle kann ebenfalls durch eine Perforierung gekennzeichnet sein. Das Abreißen erleichtert die ordnungsgemäße Handhabung der Verschlußkappe. Die Perforierung ist z. B. so angebracht, daß beim Abreißen die Sperrelemente am abgerissenen Teil verbleiben. Diese Ausführungsform hat den zusätzlichen Vorteil, daß beim Wiederaufsetzen der Verschlußkappe, etwa für den Rücktransport, die beschädigten Sperrelemente kein Hindernis bilden können.The tear point can also be characterized by perforation. The tearing off facilitates the proper handling of the cap. The perforation is e.g. B. attached so that when tearing the locking elements remain on the torn part. This embodiment has the additional advantage that when the cap is replaced, for example for the return transport, the damaged locking elements cannot form an obstacle.

In the drawing, some embodiments of the cap according to the invention are shown schematically. Show it:
  • 1 is a side view, partly in section, of a closure cap according to the invention,
  • 2 shows a side view of another closure cap according to the invention,

  • Fig. 7 is a plan view of another cap and
  • Fig. 8 is a plan view, partly in section, of another embodiment of the invention.

Die Verschlußkappe gemäß den Fig. 1 - 3 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Abdeckplatte 6 und einer zylindrischen Führung 2. In der zylindrischen Führung 2 sind in regelmäßigen Abständen zueinander rundherum Sichtfenster 3. vorgesehen. Diese Sichtfenster 3 können sich bis in die Abdeckplatte 6 fortsetzen, wie in Fig. 3 zu sehen ist. In den Sichtfenstern 3 sitzen die Sperrelemente 1. Die Sperrelemente 1 sind am Unterteil des Fensters 3 angeformt, wie sich aus der Fig. 1 ergibt. Günstig ist es, wenn die Verschlußkappe möglichst viele Sperrelemente 1 aufweist. ,The closure cap according to FIGS. 1-3 essentially consists of a cover plate 6 and a cylindrical guide 2. In the cylindrical guide 2, viewing windows 3 are provided all around at regular intervals. These viewing windows 3 can continue into the cover plate 6, as can be seen in FIG. 3. The blocking elements 1 are seated in the viewing windows 3. The blocking elements 1 are formed on the lower part of the window 3, as can be seen from FIG. 1. It is expedient if the closure cap has as many locking elements 1 as possible. ,

Bei der Herstellung als Spritzgußteil werden die Sperrelemente 1 bei der Verschlußkappe gemäß Fig. 1 mit Hilfe je eines Schiebers, der durch das Sichtfenster 3 nach innen geschoben ist, geformt. Diese Herstellungsweise erfordert relativ wenig Aufwand.In the production as an injection molded part, the locking elements 1 in the closure cap according to FIG. 1 are each formed with the aid of a slide which is pushed in through the viewing window 3. This method of production requires relatively little effort.

In Fig. 1 ist zu sehen, wie die Sperrelemente 1 durch ihre Schrägstellung unter die mit strichpunktierten Linien dargestellte Ventilplatte 7 greifen. Beim Aufsetzen der Verschlußkappe auf die Ventilplatte federn die Sperrelemente 1 in die Sichtfenster 3 zurück und lassen dadurch das Aufsetzen zu.In Fig. 1 it can be seen how the locking elements 1 reach through their inclined position under the valve plate 7 shown with dash-dotted lines. When the cap is placed on the valve plate, the blocking elements 1 spring back into the viewing window 3 and allow to put on.

Ein übermäßiges Verformen der Sperrelemente 1 beim Aufsetzen läßt sich durch achsparallele Rippen 12, wie sie in Fig. 4 dargestellt sind, vermeiden, so daß die Sperrelemente nicht schon beim Aufsetzen der Verschlußkappe abbrechen.Excessive deformation of the locking elements 1 when fitting can be avoided by axially parallel ribs 12, as shown in FIG. 4, so that the locking elements do not break off when the sealing cap is put on.

Sitzt die Verschlußkappe auf dem Ventil, so stellen sich die Sperrelemente nach innen und greifen unter die Ventilplatte 7. Dadurch wird einerseits die Verschlußkappe auf dem Ventil gehalten, andererseits bietet die Ventilplatte 7 den Sperrelementen 1 ein Hindernis, das die Sperrelemente beim Abnehmen der Kappe beschädigt, beispielsweise abreißt.If the cap sits on the valve, the locking elements move inwards and engage under the valve plate 7. On the one hand, the sealing cap is held on the valve, on the other hand, the valve plate 7 offers the blocking elements 1 an obstacle that damages the blocking elements when the cap is removed , for example tears off.

Ist ein vollständiges Abreißen und Abfallen der Sperrelemente 1 beim ersten Öffnen nicht erwünscht, so können die Bruchstellen 5 der Sperrelemente verschiedene Wandstärken, wie sie in Fig. 5 und 6 zu sehen sind, aufweisen. Beim Abknicken der Sperrelemente 1 reißt die dicke Stelle 14 der Bruchstelle 5, während die dünne Stelle 13 elastisch genug ist, um das Abbrechen durch Verbiegen zu vermeiden.If a complete tearing off and falling off of the locking elements 1 is not desired when opening for the first time, the breaking points 5 of the locking elements can have different wall thicknesses, as can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6. When the locking elements 1 bend, the thick point 14 of the breaking point 5 tears, while the thin point 13 is elastic enough to avoid breaking due to bending.

Die Sperrelemente 1 können auch eine Stabform, d. h. eine im Vergleich zur Breite größere Höhe aufweisen. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß sie im Falle einer Manipulation beschädigt, nämlich abgeknickt werden.The locking elements 1 can also have a rod shape, i.e. H. have a greater height than the width. This ensures that they are damaged in the event of manipulation, namely that they are kinked.

Die Sperrelemente 1 sind bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Aussführungsform mit dem unteren Teil 4 der zylindrischen Führung über eine dünne Bruchstelle 5 verbünden. Durch diese dünne Bruchstelle 5 wird ein Abreißen der Sperrelemente erleichtert. Bei der Bruchstelle 5 kann es sich auch um eine Perforierung handeln.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the locking elements 1 are connected to the lower part 4 of the cylindrical guide via a thin breaking point 5. This thin breaking point 5 makes it easier to tear off the locking elements. The breaking point 5 can also be a perforation.

Erstreckt sich das Sichtfenster 3 auch auf die Abdeckplatte 6 der Verschlußkappe, wie in Fig. 3 zu sehen, so ist das Erkennen einer Beschädigung der Sperrelemente erleichtert.If the viewing window 3 also extends to the cover plate 6 of the closure cap, as can be seen in FIG. 3, the detection of damage to the locking elements is made easier.

Noch einfacher ist eine Öffnung der Verschlußkappe zu erkennen, wenn die Abdeckplatte eine oder mehrere Bruchlinien 15 trägt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel, das in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist, wird zum Öffnen die Abdeckplatte 6 an der Bruchlinie 15, die z. B. als Perforierung ausgebildet ist, geteilt. Die Öffnung der Verschlußkappe wird erleichtert, während das Erkennen einer Beschädigung sehr vereinfacht ist. Eine solche Abdeckplatte ist jedoch im allgemeinen dann nicht mehr als Schutzkappe weiterverwendbar.An opening of the closure cap is even easier to recognize when the cover plate bears one or more break lines 15. In this embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 7, for opening the cover plate 6 at the breaking line 15, the z. B. is formed as a perforation, divided. The opening of the cap is facilitated, while the detection of damage is very easy. However, such a cover plate is generally no longer usable as a protective cap.

Bei der Ausführungsform, die in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, sind die Sperrelemente 1 mit dem unteren Teil 4 der zylindrischen Führung ohne Bruchstelle verbunden. Die Perforierung sitzt hier am Fensterzwischenraum 8 in der gleichen Höhe wie die Unterkante der Sichtfenster 3. Nach der Durchtrennung dieser Perforierung 9 kann das untere Teil 4 mit den Sperrelementen 1 entfernt werden. Der Rest der Verschlußkappe wird zum Entleeren des Fasses einfach abgehoben, für den Rücktransport wieder aufgesteckt.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the locking elements 1 are connected to the lower part 4 of the cylindrical guide without breaking point. The perforation sits here at the window space 8 at the same height as the lower edge of the viewing window 3. After cutting through this perforation 9, the lower part 4 with the blocking elements 1 can be removed. The rest of the cap is simply lifted off to empty the barrel and put back on for transport back.

Die Oberseite lO der Abdeckplatte 6 kann zur Kennzeichnung des Faßinhaltes benutzt werden. Der Bund bzw. Flansch 11 erleichtert das Hantieren mit der Verschlußkappe.The top 10 of the cover plate 6 can be used to identify the contents of the barrel. The collar or flange 11 makes it easier to handle the closure cap.

In der Fig. 8 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Am Umfang der zylindrischen Führung 2 sind mehrere Abschnitte 16 vorgesehen, die sich teilweise bis in die Abdeckplatte 6 erstrecken, und die insbesondere abbrechbar sind. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind drei solcher Abschnitte vorgesehen, von denen einer abgebrochen ist. Zwischen diesen Abschnitten 16 sind fest mit der Abdeckplatte 6 verbundene Abschnitte 17 vorgesehen, die beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel nur Rippen 12 aufweisen, wie diese beispielsweise auch in der Fig. 4 gezeigt sind.Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. A plurality of sections 16 are provided on the circumference of the cylindrical guide 2, some of which extend into the cover plate 6, and which in particular can be broken off. In the exemplary embodiment shown, three such sections are provided, one of which has broken off. Between these sections 16, sections 17 are provided which are firmly connected to the cover plate 6 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, have only ribs 12, as shown, for example, in FIG. 4.

Die Abschnitte 16 sind durch Trennschnitte 18 gegenüber der Abdeckplatte 6 abgeteilt und sind jeweils mit den Sichtfenstern 3 und den Sperrelementen 1 versehen.The sections 16 are divided by separating cuts 18 opposite the cover plate 6 and are each provided with the viewing windows 3 and the locking elements 1.

Die Verschlußkappe gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Fig. 8 wird in gleicher Weise auf die Ventilplatte 7 aufgedrückt, wie dies bei den anderen Ausführungsbeispielen der Fall ist. Die Sperrelemente 1 der Abschnitte 16 halten die Verschlußkappe fest.The closure cap according to the embodiment of FIG. 8 is pressed onto the valve plate 7 in the same way as is the case with the other embodiments. The locking elements 1 of the sections 16 hold the cap.

Soll die Verschlußkappe abgenommen werden, werden die Abschnitte 16 abgebrochen, was durch den Trennschnitt 18 jeweils erleichtert wird, so daß nur im Bereich der zylindrischen Führung das Material durchgebrochen werden muß.If the closure cap is to be removed, the sections 16 are broken off, which is facilitated by the separating cut 18, so that the material only has to be broken through in the region of the cylindrical guide.

Auch im Bereich der zylindrischen Führung kann eine Perforation vorgesehen sein, die das Abbrechen der Abschnitte 16 erleichtert.A perforation can also be provided in the region of the cylindrical guide, which facilitates the breaking off of the sections 16.

Da beim Abbrechen auch die Sperrelemente 1 beseitigt werden, kann die verbleibende Abdeckung mit den Abschnitten 17 leicht von der Ventilplatte 7 abgenommen und auch wieder aufgesetzt werden, so daß die Schutzfunktion der Verschlußkappe erhalten bleibt. Die abgebrochenen Abschnitte 16 zeigen aber deutlich an, daß die Verschlußkappe abgenommen worden ist.Since the blocking elements 1 are also removed when the parts are broken off, the remaining cover with the sections 17 can be easily removed from the valve plate 7 and also replaced, so that the protective function of the closure cap is retained. The broken off sections 16 clearly indicate that the closure cap has been removed.

Beim Versuch, die Verschlußkappe gemäß Fig. 8 abzunehmen, ohne die Abschnitte 16 abzubrechen, würden die Sperrelemente 1 abgebrochen oder deformiert, wie dies bei den anderen Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben ist.If an attempt was made to remove the closure cap according to FIG. 8 without breaking off the sections 16, the locking elements 1 would be broken off or deformed, as is described in the other exemplary embodiments.

Es empfiehlt sich, drei Abschnitte 16 bzw. drei Abschnitte 17 vorzusehen, wobei die Abschnitte 16 und 17 sich jeweils ungefähr über einen gleich großen Bereich erstrecken.It is advisable to provide three sections 16 and three sections 17, respectively, with sections 16 and 17 each extending approximately over an equally large area.

Die Verschlußkappen gemäß der Erfindung haben im allgemeinen eine sehr geringe Wandstärke, die geringer ist als beispielsweise in den Zeichnungen dargestellt. In der Regel genügen Wandstärken von etwa einem Millimeter oder etwas weniger.The caps according to the invention generally have a very small wall thickness, which is less than, for example, shown in the drawings. As a rule, wall thicknesses of about one millimeter or a little less are sufficient.
