Abstract
It is provided a cap (10) for closing an opening (41) of a container (30), comprising a mainly tubular skirt (12), wherein the skirt (12) comprises a bayonet notch (26) for guiding a pin (28) of the container (30), wherein the skirt (12) comprises a guiding rim (38) running in axial direction and in circumferential direction towards the bayonet notch (26) for guiding the pin (28) of the container (30) into the bayonet notch (26). When the cap (10) is mounted to the container (30), the pin (28) may slide along the guiding rim (38) towards the bayonet notch (26) even at an originally significant displacement in circumferential direction, so that a facilitated mounting of a cap (10) to a container (30) with a bayonet mount is enabled.
Claims12
A cap for closing an opening of at least one container, the cap comprising:
- a mainly tubular skirt that comprises a bayonet notch for guiding a pin of a container, wherein the bayonet notch is L-shaped for providing a mainly axial relative movement of the cap relative to the container by means of a first part of the bayonet notch and a turning of the cap relative to the container by means of a second part of the bayonet notch, wherein the mainly tubular skirt further comprises a first guiding rim running in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction towards the bayonet notch for guiding the pin of the container into the bayonet notch,
- wherein a second guiding rim is provided that runs in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction towards the bayonet notch for guiding the pin of the container into the bayonet notch, wherein the first guiding rim and the second guiding rim are arranged funnel-shaped to each other.
A cap for closing an opening of at least one container, the cap comprising:
- a mainly tubular skirt that comprises a bayonet notch for guiding a pin of a container, wherein the bayonet notch is L-shaped for providing a mainly axial relative movement of the cap relative to the container by means of a first part of the bayonet notch and a turning of the cap relative to the container by means of a second part of the bayonet notch, wherein the mainly tubular skirt further comprises a first guiding rim running in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction towards the bayonet notch for guiding the pin of the container into the bayonet notch,
- wherein at least one of the first guiding rim and a second guiding rim runs from the bayonet notch to an axial stop rim or from the bayonet notch to a circumferential stop rim, wherein the circumferential stop rim is provided by means of an axially running rib comprising an extension in the circumferential direction that is smaller than an extension in the circumferential direction of the pin.
A cap for closing an opening of at least one container, the cap comprising:
- a mainly tubular skirt that comprises a bayonet notch for guiding a pin of a container, wherein the bayonet notch is L-shaped for providing a mainly axial relative movement of the cap relative to the container by means of a first part of the bayonet notch and a turning of the cap relative to the container by means of a second part of the bayonet notch, wherein the mainly tubular skirt further comprises a first guiding rim running in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction towards the bayonet notch for guiding the pin of the container into the bayonet notch,
- wherein the first guiding rim is provided by a difference in a wall thickness of the mainly tubular skirt, wherein a whole area of the mainly tubular skirt, between the first guiding rim and a bottom side of the mainly tubular skirt, comprises a wall thickness that is less than a wall thickness of an area of the mainly tubular skirt between the first guiding rim and a top side of the mainly tubular skirt.
