Closure for the metered addition of a component
The closure includes a rotary dispenser cap ( 1 ), and is used for metering of a component in the content of a so-equipped mixing vessel ( 17 ) before use. It contains a separately filled folding container ( 3 ) which is held on its lower side by resilient spacer elements ( 7 ) over stationary piercing teeth ( 8 ) and which is pusable downword by means of rotating the rotary dispenser cap ( 1 ) which will screw down the press ring ( 2 ) and press the container ( 3 ) over the piercing teeth ( 8 ). The folding container ( 3 ) is thereby torn open. By further screwing down of the pressing ring ( 2 ), the folding container ( 3 ) is being squeezed and pressed out, so that its contents are mixed in the underlying container ( 17 ).
1. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use, which closure comprises a separately filled folding container ( 3 ), which is below held by resilient spacer elements ( 7 ) above at least one stationary piercing tooth ( 8 ), and, by turning the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) and screwing downward a press ring ( 2 ), said folding container ( 3 ) is being pressed onto the at least one piercing tooth ( 8 ) and by this pierced open, and hence by further screwing down of the press ring ( 2 ), the folding container ( 3 ) is being squeezed and pressed out, whereby its content is moved into the underlying mixing vessel ( 17 ).
2. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , consisting of a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) with funnel-shaped spout ( 16 ) with tip ( 9 ) that can be broken off, which tip has on its underside at least one actuator ( 15 ), further comprising a folding container sleeve ( 4 ), to which the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) can be rotatably sticked, and for receiving a foldable container ( 3 ) made from soft material and to be separately filled with a filling component and to be inserted into the spout ( 5 ) of an associated mixing vessel ( 17 ), whereby the folding container ( 3 ) rests on resilient spacer elements ( 7 ) arranged at the bottom of said folding container ( 3 ) and is held above at least one piercing tooth ( 8 ) which is arranged on the lower edge ( 18 ) of the sleeve, and that the folding container ( 3 ) is impinged from above by a press ring ( 2 ), which by means of engaging in it with at least one actuator ( 15 ) of the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ), is screwed down along of helical guide grooves ( 13 ) on the inner side of the folding container sleeve ( 4 ), so that the folding container ( 3 ), by bending the resilient spacer elements ( 7 ) to the side, is pressed onto the at least one piercing tooth ( 8 ) and therefore pierced open and be pressed out by the press ring ( 2 ), so that its contents is moved into the underlying mixing vessel ( 17 ).
3. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 2 , wherein the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) comprises a break- off locking element ( 6 ) for preventing unwanted twisting of the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) on the folding container sleeve ( 4 ) when the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) is mounted onto it, said locking element ( 6 ) engages in a recess in the folding container sleeve ( 4 ), so that the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) is only rotatable after breaking off of the locking element ( 6 ) on the folding container sleeve ( 4 ).
4. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) on its upper side forms funnel-shaped spout ( 16 ) which extends into a breaking tip ( 9 ), which includes a disc ( 27 ) or thin spot to be broken off from the aperture of the spout, and whereby a shear off handle ( 19 ) is formed on said disc ( 27 ) or thin spot.
5. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) comprises a rotary handle ( 20 ) with a corrugated surface.
6. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the folding container sleeve ( 4 ) forms a shoulder ( 23 ) at its upper end, and at the outer edge of said shoulder ( 23 ) a parapet-like upwardly projecting ring ( 21 ) is formed, interrupted by a gap ( 22 ), wherein the locking element ( 6 ) at the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) engages in this gap ( 22 ) as lock against rotation in order to form a tamper evidence when the rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) is mounted.
7. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the folding container ( 3 ) is designed as a filled up tubular bag or filled up dose.
8. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 1 , characterized in that the folding container sleeve ( 4 ) is sealingly pressable into the socket ( 5 ) of an associated mixing vessel ( 17 ).
9. Closure having a rotatable dispenser cap ( 1 ) for metering of a component into the content of a mixing vessel ( 17 ) equipped with this closure before use according to claim 3 , characterized in that the inside of the folding container sleeve ( 4 ), guide ribs ( 13 ) are formed which have a progressively increasing downward slope, and which fit into the guide ribs ( 12 ) on the outside of the press ring ( 2 ).
