Abstract

A container has a container lid and a container lower section connectible with each other via thread ribs on the lid and the lower section, by twisting the lid and the lower section relative to each other about a screwing axis of rotation. The thread ribs on the lid and the lower section extend over a circumferential angle of 90 degrees or less. A clearance at least equal to the circumferential extension thereof is left in the circumferential direction on the lid and the lower section. At least two thread ribs on the lid and the lower section overlap each other. A complete overrun circumferentially is possible in only one of the two opposing positions when an opposing position of a thread rib in the lower section or the lid is reached during a screwed connection in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A container with a container lid and a container lower section,
wherein the container lid and the container lower section are connectible with each other via thread ribs on the container lid and on the container lower section, by twisting the lid and the lower section relative to each other about a screwing axis of rotation,
wherein only two thread ribs are formed on each of the container lid and the container lower section,
wherein the thread ribs formed on each of the container lid and on the container lower section have a circumferential extension extending over a circumferential angle between 30 and 70 degrees,
wherein each thread rib has a pitch between 2 and 4 degrees,
wherein a clearance at least equal to the circumferential extension is left between two adjacent thread ribs on both the lid and the lower section in the circumferential direction on the lid and on the lower section, and at least two of the thread ribs are constructed on the lid and the lower section in opposed positions to each other,
wherein a complete overrun in the circumferential direction is possible in only one of two opposing positions of the two thread ribs when an opposing position of a thread rib in the lower section or the lid is reached in the course of a screwed connection in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation,
wherein the container lower section comprises a shoulder and the container lid comprises a lower edge, and
wherein in a closed position of the container the lower edge of the container lid lies directly on the shoulder of the container lower section.

2. The container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thread ribs of the container lid and the container lower section are positioned at a distance from each other in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation, and
wherein they are also not aligned to overlap each other in this direction.

3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a stop segment extending in the direction of screwing axis of rotation is attached to one of each of the thread ribs on the lid or the lower section.

4. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container lid comprises a first circumferential wall extending in the direction of screwing axis of rotation and a container upper surface extending perpendicularly thereto,
wherein the thread ribs are formed on an inner side of the first circumferential wall, and
wherein one of the thread ribs is attached to a free front border edge of the first circumferential wall facing away from the upper surface, while the other thread rib is attached to the upper surface of the container.

5. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container lower section comprises a second circumferential wall extending in the direction of the screwing axis of rotation, and a container bottom extending perpendicularly thereto,
wherein the thread ribs formed on the container lower section are formed on an outer side of the second circumferential wall, and
wherein one of the thread ribs is attached to a free front border edge of the second circumferential wall facing away from the bottom surface, while the other thread rib is formed on a bottom portion of the second circumferential wall so that the ribs formed on the container lower section differ from each other in a vertical direction.

6. The container according to claim 3 , wherein one of the stop segments is formed on the thread rib of the container lid that is attached to the upper surface of the container.

7. The container according to claim 3 , wherein one of the stop segments is formed on the thread rib provided on the bottom of the second circumferential wall of the container lower section.

8. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a bracing segment that protrudes radially by the dimension of a thread rib is formed in a circumferential intermediate space between the thread ribs.

9. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the thread ribs on the container lid are a first thread rib and a second thread rib, wherein the first thread rib is disposed vertically higher than the second thread rib.
