DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(15) The present invention relates to a screwed cover embodiment (101) having apparatus of foil-cutting and folding to the inner part in the aseptic liquid cardboard packages, comprising lower cover (01), cylindrical ridge (03) and flat plate (13) located on the inner part of the lower cover (01); axial hinge (05) and tension spring (04) connected to the cylindrical wall (14) in the lower cover (01); upper cover (02) and spiral friction ramp (08) located on the inner part of the upper cover (02).

(16) When said spiral friction ramp (08) rotated in the cover-opening direction, it applies a pressure in the downward direction. Cylindrical ridge (03) located on the inner part of the lower cover (01) is exposed to this pressure.

(17) The connection between the right and left flat plates (13) on which the cylindrical ridge (03) provided on the inner part of lower cover (01) is located and the cylindrical wall (14) inside the lower cover (01) is provided by means of the axial hinge (05). Moreover, a tension spring (04) which provides the connection of said flat plates (13) to the inner wall (14) with an asymmetrical parallel angle by means of the axial hinge (05), is used.

(18) The cover embodiment (101) according to the present invention comprises a surface which will be attached on the surface of the cardboard package (15) forming the lower cover (01); a cylindrical body (10) to make the upper cover (02) screwed; cylindrical ridge (03) located in the middle of this cylindrical body (10) and flat plates (13) adjacent to the protrusions on both sides of this cylindrical ridge (03); incisors (12) ordered all around the lower part of the flat plates (13); axial hinges (05) connecting all these channel, plates and incisors to the cylindrical inner wall (14) from two points and tension springs (04) providing pushing and drawing force in a form inclined 90 degree located asymmetrically with different angles from different points by means of the axial hinges (05) connected to the inner wall (14) from two sides, which can rotate the embodiment 90 degree, to which these axial hinges (05) are connected; drainage protrusions (06-07) located at the front and back part on the cylindrical ridge (03) in the middle of the flat plates (3); screwable upper cover (02) and spiral friction ramp (08) on the inner part of this upper cover (02) embodiment; screwing threads (09-11) parallel to each other on the lower cover (01) and upper screwable cover, which provide this spiral friction ramp (08) to rotate. As a result of the calculations conducted, it has been found out that this embodiment provides an ease of flowing which is much more evident compared to the other embodiments while the product is flowing after the opening and homogeneous opening of at least 90% of the inner wall of the lower cover by taking the foil away from the flowing mouth.

(19) When the upper cover (02) and the lower cover (01) are in a closed position, when the upper cover (02) is rotated in the opening direction, the spiral friction ramp (08) on the inner part of the upper cover (02) applies pressure on the lower flat plates (13) in the downward direction thanks to the spiral height of the spiral friction ramp (08) on the inner part of the upper cover (02) by rubbing onto the upper part of the cylindrical ridge (03) located in the middle of the inner wall (14) of the lower cover (01). Because of this pressure, the incisors (12) ordered all around the flat plates (13) create holes on the foil. On the foil, a hole is created in the form of the inner wall (14) of the lower cover (01), and a pressure is applied until it will be curved downwards with 30 degree. The movement of the spiral friction ramp (08) to the left and right because of the pressure applied is prevented by the drainage protrusion (06) located on the cylindrical ridge (03) and on the front part, and it is provided to progress on the same line. Following the 180-degree rotation in the opening direction, the spiral friction ramp (08) on the inner part of the upper cover (02) rests on the second drainage protrusion (07) located on the upper part of the cylindrical ridge (03) in the middle of the lower cover (01) and on the back part, pushes the flat plates (13) opening the foil in the downward direction, and enables it to be dragged until it reaches the 90-degree position. The flat plates (13) and the lower cover (01) are provided to rotate in the same axis thanks to the axial hinges (05) located onto the inner wall (14). Thanks to the tension springs (04) connected to the flat plates (13) located in the middle of the lower cover (01) with in the inner wall (14) of the lower cover (01), the flat plates (13) which are provided to progress 90 degree in the backward direction are totally taken away from the flowing mouth, and therefore a homogeneous flowing mouth is obtained.

(20) After the 360-degree rotation of the upper cover (02) on the cardboard package (15) is completed, the inner mechanism on the lower cover (01) is folded into the cardboard package (15) with 180 degrees, and therefore, makes the 90% of the flowing mouth open by compressing the foil between the mechanism and the cardboard package (15). Thus, both an ease of flowing is obtained, and the flowing mouth of the foil is prevented from getting closed.

(21) The embodiment within the cover is an embodiment enabling cylindrical ridge (03) mechanism, the lower part of which is hollow, to be rotated 180 degrees.

(22) It is illustrated with the drawings (FIG. 1-13) that the operation of the mechanism is designed specifically and the items in the current embodiment constitute a whole. It is provided that the cover embodiment (101) consists of two pieces, and the inner mechanism rotates 180 degree with this configuration. Therefore the resources are used more efficiently, and the product is used in a more functional manner.

ADAPTATION OF THE INVENTION TO THE INDUSTRY

(23) It is a cover embodiment which can be produced with the plastic injection molding method so as to be used in aseptic cardboard packages, attached onto the cardboard package with the help of an installation machine as in the other cardboard package covers, minimizing the raw material usage as its number of parts is quite low thanks to the functional characteristics of its design.
