Definitions
- the invention relates to a lid made of sheet metal for non-round cans, in particular long oval cans in Hansa format with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a cover is known from GB-A.:1 207 769.
- the tear-off part points in the start section and in End area of the lid on differently oriented beads.
- beads running transversely to the tear-open direction ensure that during the initial break-in and tear-open the start section can no longer bulge around an axis that runs parallel to the tear-open direction.
- the transverse beads facilitate the unrolling of the sheet when the starting section is torn, which can more or less bend along the transverse beads.
- the beads run parallel to the opening direction or at an acute angle to this opening direction, which prevents the sheet from unrolling in the end section of the opening part and stiffens this part like a board.
- This is intended to facilitate and improve the safe handling of the tear-open part in the last phase of the tear-open process and during the moment in which the tear-off part is separated from the can (cf. also DE-A-2 909 076, FIG. 1).
- Similar measures are also known for lids for cans of circular cross-section (cf. US-A-3,478,918).
- the person opening the can must release the force on the tear-open part and bring the sheet metal to break through slight pivoting movements of the tear-open part around the chord-shaped notch line section. This automatically ensures that no greater springback capacity is stored in the tearing part at the moment of the separation process. This largely eliminates the risk of splashing the contents of the can as well as the risk of injury to the person.
- the two outer beads of the bead group are preferably oriented towards the end points of the chord-shaped notch line section in accordance with the teaching of claim 2. In this way, the breaking process along the score line to the end points is carried out safely, since the bead ends are close to the transition point between the end points and the adjacent score line sections. At the same time, it is ensured that, even in the end point areas, deformation of the sheet during the last separation process is largely excluded.
- the cover can be made of aluminum sheet or other thin sheet. It is a lid with a long oval outline, which is widely used for fish cans in the so-called Hansa format. It can be sheets of small thickness, in particular less than 0.24 mm.
- the cover 1 has a flanged edge 2 which merges into the cover mirror 3 via a core wall.
- a tearing part 6 is delimited by a self-contained score line 7, the course of which deviates from the course of the core wall.
- the score line has a start section 8 at the left end of FIG. 2, in the vicinity of which a handle tab 5 of conventional design is fastened by means of a rivet 4 formed from the sheet metal.
- the score line diverges from the break-open start line 8 into two straight sections 9, which delimit the entire start section 16 of the tear-open part 6.
- two transverse beads 21, 22 are formed, which have increasing length in the tear direction.
- a flat recess 20 of approximately square outline is provided, which is delimited by a corresponding shoulder.
- On both sides of the depression 20 extend parallel to the two outer notch line sections 10 beads 26, 27, which run parallel to the longitudinal center line 19 of the cover and the core wall.
- the beads 26, 27 can be arranged at substantially the same distance from the score line 10 or from the shoulder delimiting the depression 20.
- the distance 33 between the beads 26 and 27 and the score line sections 10 is as small as possible in the preferred embodiment and corresponds at most to the bead width (31).
- the beads 26 and 27 end in the end region 18 of the tear-open part 6 directly in the region of a transition point between the notch line sections 12 and 13, namely at a short distance of a few millimeters.
- the score line sections 12 and 13 belong to a polygonal train of individual, straight score line sections 11, 12 and 13 which are connected via points 14 to the lateral straight score line sections 10 and determine the end region 18 of the tear-open part 6.
- the middle section 11 of this polygonal train consists of a notch line 11 which runs in a chord-like manner with respect to the arcuate core wall and whose straight length 38 corresponds to approximately half the total width 39 of the tearing part 6.
- the score line section 11 is at a distance from the core wall, measured on the longitudinal center line 19, which can be between 2 and 15 mm and is preferably about 10 mm.
- the beads each having the same length 36 and the same distribution are assigned to this middle straight or chord-shaped notch line section 11 in the end region 18 of the tear-open part 6.
- the two outer beads 25a and 25d have a mutual center distance approximately equal to the length 38 of the chord-shaped notch line section 11, that is to say that their longitudinal center lines 38a are almost flush with the end points 15 of the notch line section 11.
- the beads preferably have a completely uniform distribution over the length 38 of the notch line section 11.
- the bead width 31 in the preferred exemplary embodiment shown is approximately equal to the width 32 of the undeformed sheet metal region lying between adjacent beads.
- the length 36 of the beads 25 is also the same, this length in the preferred embodiment according to FIG.
- the beads 25 project beyond the connecting line between the transition points 14 in the direction of the starting section.
- the beads 26 and 27 in the end region 18 of the tearing part fit harmoniously into the bead distribution of the bead group 25a to 25d.
- the beads 25 to 27 each have the same width and the same undeformed intermediate areas.
- the beads extend as far as possible to the polygonal score line in the end region 18 of the tearing part.
- the distance 30 of the end products of the beads 25 to the chord-shaped notch line section 11 is between approximately 1 mm and approximately 7 mm and is preferably smaller than the width 31 of the beads and is approximately 0.5 mm to approximately 3 mm in the preferred exemplary embodiment shown.
- the bead distribution in conjunction with the polygonal course of the score line in the end region 18 of the tear-open part 6 ensures particularly safe handling when opening when the tear-off part is detached from the rest of the cover plate. Due to the ribs and the resulting stiffening, the tear-open force is aligned parallel to the longitudinal center line 19 of the cover without special attention when opening, the tear-open process automatically ending at the end points 15 of the tendon-shaped notch line section 11, so that an unexpected resilient tearing off of the tear-off part is excluded is.
- the final separation process is carried out extremely securely by the uniform stiffening of the cover plate, so that uniform separation is also ensured by moving the tearing part back and forth about the hinge axis formed by the tendon-shaped notch line section 11.
- the new measures make the handling of the tear-open part much easier and more convenient when opening.
