The invention relates to a cup made of plastic, which has a thin-walled jacket, which is closed in the region of a first end portion by a bottom and opposite second end portion having a first opening with a closure element, and a transition region from the shell into the ground in a through a Mid-longitudinal axis of the cup extending plane has a convex curvature with respect to the outer surface of the shell or bottom.

The production of cup-shaped packaging containers made of plastic for receiving dairy products has long been known. In this case, plastic cups are deep-drawn with a more or less downwardly tapering main body or produced by similar methods. The resulting cup shape is on both the outside and on the inside strictly conical with mostly sharp-edged transitions to a cylindrical or konterkonischen training in the upper, the opening near area, as well as sharp or formed by small radii transitions from the conical region to the bottom region , 15

Due to these sharp-edged or small-radius transitions or edges, the removal of the contents, which preferably takes place by means of spoons or spoon-like objects, is made more difficult in these areas, especially during the transition from the bottom to the conical jacket and in the transition to the counter-conical part. 20

The document WO 2002/32778 A1 relates to a bottle-like receptacle for liquids with a reinforcement in the bottom area. In this case, the task is there to create a bottle that is as equally resilient in all directions. The focus of the solution is that the reinforcement takes place in the front end sides of a cylindrical shell.

US Pat. No. 5,628,453 A1 describes a packaging container made of a cup-shaped plastic part which has a thin-walled jacket. This cup-shaped plastic part is closed in the region of a first end region by a bottom and, in the second end region opposite to 30, has a first opening which can be closed with a closure element. In a transition region from the shell into the ground, the cup-shaped plastic part has a convex curvature with respect to the outer surface of the shell or bottom in a plane passing through a central longitudinal axis. 35 German Utility Model DE 81 07 433 U describes a packaging container made of a cup-shaped plastic part with a thin-walled jacket. This cup-shaped plastic part is closed in its first end region by a bottom and has in its opposite second end region on a first opening which is closed by a closure element. At the bottom, all wall sections of the oval-shaped cup pass over a curve into the likewise oval-shaped edge of the stand or floor.

The patent application JP 10 305861 A shows a cup-shaped packaging container, which has a convex curvature in the transition region from the jacket into the ground, wherein a stand edge for the cup-shaped plastic part is additionally arranged in the bottom region.

The patent application JP 10 324369 A only describes a receptacle formed elliptical in cross-section, wherein on diametrically opposite sides of the container projections are formed, with which the cup for the opening process can be biased or compressed by the closure element and so spilling or scattering the stored in the interior medium is prevented.

The German Utility Model DE 202 08 068 U1 describes a packaging and food bowl for food with at least one food utensil, which is between Erhe-55 exercises in the packaging and food bowl. These surveys form a 3 AT 500 064 B1

Receiving space for the at least one eating utensil, which are at the outer ends of one or all surveys adhesive surfaces to which a cover for the food utensil can be attached and so the food utensil is covered in a separate receiving space. The surveys usually form the footprint for the packaging and dining dish.

In the cup described in document AT 338 164 B, the beaker wall is slightly conical below the undercut and beaded cup rim, and in the transition region towards the cup bottom part, a more conically shaped bottom region is present. In this more conical recessed bottom area additional bulges are provided, which should prevent according to the stated object of the invention, the inclusion of air bubbles in the filling of such a cup in this area.

From the document WO 02/076834 A1 a cup-shaped plastic part 15 surrounding sleeve is known in which at least one window is arranged to allow in its mounted position on the cup-shaped plastic part a view towards the cup or taken in the sleeve provisions are to form a corresponding window by separating a predeterminable wall part of the sleeve. This sleeve is rotatably supported on the cup-shaped plastic part, whereby the sleeve and thus the 20 provided the window or the area provided for forming an opening weakening region is formed relative to the cup-shaped plastic part displaced. This can be made visible to different predeterminable locations of the cup-shaped plastic part after appropriate relative adjustment of the two parts against each other, an image, an inscription or the like. 25

The publication EP 0 408 515 A1 describes a packaging container for beverage waste utilization in which it is possible to separate a used packaging container into its plastic or cardboard portion in the region of a desired separating strip, namely the cardboard sleeve from the plastic container. In this case, the desired separating strip is formed on the overlapping region 30 of the cardboard sleeve. This has only one on one side limiting, hidden by the overlap line of weakness.

When tearing, the inner cover edge becomes a cutting edge for the outer overlap layer. 35

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a packaging container whose configuration facilitates access to the content or its removal, while maintaining high stability. The object is achieved in that in the region of the curvature in the transition region at least one at least over 50% of the circumference extending reinforcing region is arranged, whose convex curvature in the plane passing through the central longitudinal axis, a radius or a radius of an enveloping circle, the greater than 4 mm and that a wall thickness in the region of the shell is between 10% and 40%, in particular between 45 15% and 30%, of a wall thickness in the region of the reinforcement region.

In this case, it is advantageous that a packaging container can be made available in which no or only little residual material at edges or behind edges or sharp-edged radii or transitions of areas in the jacket change their diameter or exceed 50 cm from the jacket area to the ground area, catch. Due to the large radii of these transitions, it is advantageously possible with customary on the market spoons, especially in the size of commercially available teaspoons, on the packaging container wall or in the region of the bottom, in particular in the transition between bottom region and jacket of the packaging container, adhering, in particular pasty Restgut easy and almost completely remove. The removal of the remainder of the product can be carried out without troublesome, and still mostly incomplete, "scraping" of the remainders, as is otherwise the case with cups otherwise customary in the prior art 4 AT 500 064 B1. In addition to a more complete utilization of the contents, the lower amount of residual material remaining in the cup further results in the fact that the problems of bacterial decomposition of the residual material and the corresponding odor nuisance associated with disposal in the garbage during possibly prolonged storage are reduced.

The invention also relates to a cup made of plastic, which has a thin-walled jacket, which is closed in the region of a first end region by a bottom and in the opposite second end region having a first opening with a closure element, and a transition region from the shell into the ground in one Having a central longitudinal axis of the cup extending plane has a convex curvature with respect to the outer surface of the shell or bottom. According to the invention, it is provided here that a second opening or a first weakening area designed to produce a second opening is arranged in the area of the jacket and / or the floor.

An arrangement of a second opening or a weakening area formed in the area of the shell and / or the bottom for the purpose of producing a second opening is advantageous, since according to the invention it is possible on the one hand to create a further access area to the contents of the container, on the other hand further Specify embodiments of the packaging container, which facilitate the removal or access to the content, as for example, the possibility is created to arrange behind the opening or the opening formed for producing the opening 25 an additional receiving space and thus to provide the opportunity, a therein easy to remove the content contained or pack this content separately from the rest of the content.

It is further advantageous if the radius of the convex curvature or the radius of Hüllkrei-30 ses is greater than 6 mm, in particular greater than 8 mm, since thereby even with larger spoons, or spoons with larger radii, the residual material are easily removed can.

According to one embodiment, it is provided that a difference in radius between the largest radius of the reinforcement region and the radius of the directly adjacent jacket region is between 0.4% and 10% and between 0.8% and 6% of the largest radius of the closure element, As a result, edges are avoided in the transitions of these areas and it is effectively prevented by the rounding that can catch residual or is facilitated removal with, for example, a spoon. By virtue of the fact that the largest radius of the reinforcement region is greater than the radius of the directly adjacent jacket region, the advantage is achieved that a projecting region is created which simplifies the handling of the container.

According to one embodiment of the invention, according to which the largest radius of the reinforcement area is smaller than the radius of the directly adjacent jacket area, the advantage is achieved that transitions with tapering diameters can be better rounded.

Due to the configuration according to which the reinforcing region is arranged in the region of the jacket region which is so close to the first opening, the advantage is achieved that the packaging container will lose a high stability in this upper region and thus there will be no or little deformation when holding the container , It is also possible that the reinforcing region is arranged in the region of the shell region which is close to the bottom, whereby an increased stability of the packaging container is achieved in this region and buckling and thus overturning during stacking or use of the beaker is avoided becomes.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the difference in radius between the largest radius of the bottom and the largest radius of the reinforcement region is between 8% and 22%, in particular between 12% and 18%, of the largest radius of the closure element, since this provides a round transition, whereby a removal of the remainder with a conventional spoon, such as a teaspoon, can be performed easily. By virtue of the fact that at least one receiving space recessed in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the packaging container is formed between the closure element and the reinforcing region, the advantage is achieved that it is possible to arrange accessory articles, such as spoons, in the cup separately from the remaining contents. According to an embodiment, according to which it is possible for a receiving space recessed in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the packaging container to be formed in the region of the base, identification features of the container can be arranged or accessories can be integrated which are visible, for example, by turning the packaging container upside down or are removable. 20

There is also the possibility that the recessed receiving space adjacent to the second opening or the first weakened area, which has the advantage that when removing the goods no edges interfere. It is also advantageous if at least one jacket-like outer part surrounding the packaging container is arranged in the region of the jacket, since the container is thus given greater stability and deformation during use is reduced.

According to a further development, it is provided that a further opening or a further weakening area designed to produce a further opening is arranged in the shell-like outer part, whereby it is advantageously possible to selectively release or re-access access to underlying areas by turning the jacket-like outer part close. 35 Furthermore, there is the possibility that the further opening is reclosable, whereby after returning the content in the receiving space, a protection of this content is guaranteed.

It is also advantageous if between the shell-like outer part and the shell another 40 shell-like outer part is arranged, as this information that is printed on the other shell-like outer part, can be passed. It is also possible that the shell-like outer part consists of a cardboard material whereby an additional reinforcement or stiffening effect of the packaging container is achieved. 45

According to one embodiment, it is provided that the shell-like outer part consists of a plastic material, whereby a sorted disposal or low production costs are achieved. It is furthermore advantageous if the reinforcing area forms coupling or fixing elements for the outer shell part, since this ensures that the outer shell part does not need to be additionally fixed with, for example, an adhesive on the packaging container, but can be held positively and detachably in this area. Due to the fact that a cone angle of the jacket is greater than 4 °, in particular greater than 5.5 °, the advantage is achieved that this large opening angle allows the packaging container to be stacked more space-saving.

According to a variant embodiment, it is provided that the jacket is at least substantially cylindrical, whereby the manufacturing process and the printing is simplified.

Another advantage is that the packaging container is formed from a plastic film, whereby a cost-effective production of the container is possible. According to a further development, it is provided that the material for forming the plastic film is selected from the group of polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) or polyesters, whereby the advantage is achieved that, in addition to the low material costs, ensures easy processability and good service properties are. 15 It is also possible that the wall thickness of the packaging container in the region of the shell between 10% and 40%, in particular between 15% and 30% of the wall thickness in the region of the reinforcing region, since the stiffening shaping a higher strength is achieved and thereby saves material and thus costs can be reduced. It is also advantageous if the reinforcement region has a plurality of radially extending grooves distributed over its circumference, with a depth which is at least twice the wall thickness, preferably at least three times the wall thickness, since this achieves an additional reinforcement or stiffening effect of the packaging container becomes. According to one embodiment, it is possible that the closure element is formed by a sealing flange, whereby it is possible in a simple manner to securely close the packaging container by means of a seal.

According to one embodiment, it is also possible that the closure element is formed by a thread, whereby the advantage is achieved that after removal of the contents or parts thereof, a simple resealing is possible.

The invention further includes the use of the packaging container for receiving, for example, dairy products, in particular yoghurt and other accessories, such as spoon or gift items.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent, inventive or inventive solutions.

1 shows a first embodiment of a packaging container 1 according to the invention.

Shown is a packaging container 1 with a formed by a hollow truncated cone 35 jacket 2, which is closed in the region of a first end portion 3 by a bottom 4 and in the opposite second end portion 5 has a first opening 6 with a closure element 7.

In the region of the first end region 3, a reinforcing region 8 extending over the circumference of the packaging container 40 can be arranged, which forms a transition between the casing 2 and the bottom 4 of the packaging container 1. The reinforcing portion 8 has a convex curvature 9 with respect to the outer surface of the skirt 2 or the bottom 4. The shape of the curvature 9 may be formed as shown in Fig. 1, but may also have the shape of a quarter circle, i. the curvature extends at 45 of the side of the reinforcing region 8 which is adjacent to the jacket 2, approximately parallel to a central longitudinal axis 10 of the packaging container 1 and can extend almost perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 10 at the side of the reinforcing region 8 closer to the bottom 4. The advantage here is that the footprint of the packaging container 1, while maintaining high strength, is maintained. 50

Between these two regions, the curvature 9 can have approximately a radius of curvature 11 or a radius of an enveloping circle which is greater than 4 mm, preferably greater than 6 mm, in particular greater than 8 mm. But according to the invention it is also possible that the curvature 9 has any other shape of a convex curvature, for example in the region of the reinforcing region 8 which is adjacent to the jacket, does not run parallel to the central axis 10, but extends in the longitudinal direction Direction to the first opening 6 out substantially flared.

Of course, the curvature 9 can also be composed of a plurality of "partial curvatures" 5 in such a way that curvatures of different radii of curvature 11 adjoin one another and thus obtain an optimum shape for the respective application.

If the closure element 7 is formed by a peripheral, planar sealing flange, it becomes possible, according to the methods known from the prior art, to close the packaging container with a sealing film, preferably a metal foil. By a corresponding design of the closure element 7, for example by a circumferential curved flange or a circumferential bead, it is further possible to have elastically deformable lid, for example made of plastic, snap over the closure member 7 positively so as to create a resealable packaging container 1 to 15.

Such packaging containers 1 are often stacked in the empty state for the purpose of transport. In the case of embodiments which are known from the prior art, damage may be caused in the region of the first end region 3, due to the high weight caused by the stacking or due to the relatively sharp curves and edges, or may lead to buckling and bending Deformations of the packaging container 1 come. Due to the inventive design of the packaging container 1, such damage is reduced and more containers can be stacked without damage due to the higher strength. 25

The arrangement of the reinforcing region 8 further facilitates access to the contents or the removal of the contents of the packaging container 1. Since the radius of curvature 11 in the packaging container 1 or cups known from the prior art is very small or the transition from the jacket area to the floor area is very sharp-edged, complete or nearly complete removal of the contents was difficult to carry out and a tedious " Scraping "with, for example, a spoon needed. The inventive design, the removal of the content can be substantially facilitated if the curvature 9 or at least parts of the curvature 9 is adapted to that of a conventional spoon, in particular teaspoon. 35

It also proves to be advantageous if the radius of curvature 11 or the radius of an enveloping circle is greater than 6 mm, in particular greater than 8 mm. This ensures that, if larger spoons are used than, for example, common teaspoons, it is easy to remove the goods or the residual material. 40

Furthermore, this embodiment leads to an increase in strength or stiffening in these areas, as a result of which the handling, especially during filling or later use, becomes more secure and buckling during stacking is also prevented. The jacket 2 can also be provided between the first end region 3 and the second end region 5 at least partially by grooves or ribs in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 10, which are distributed along the circumference, which have the advantage of an additional stiffening as well as better orientation or Determining the situation when stacking the packaging container 1 provides (not shown in Fig. 1). 50

FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment variant of the packaging container 1 according to the invention, with a reinforcement region 8 arranged in the second end region 5 in this exemplary embodiment. 55 The reinforcement region 8 can be arranged either alone or in combination with further reinforcing regions.

According to the invention, a radius difference 12 between a maximum radius 51 of the reinforcement region 8 and a radius 52 of the jacket region 5 directly adjacent thereto is between 0.4% and 10% of a closure element radius 13. The radii 51, 52, the closure element radius 13 and the radial differences 12 are understood to be measured perpendicular with respect to the central longitudinal axis 10. According to the invention, it is also possible for this radius difference 12 to be between 0.8% and 6% of the closure element radius 13. As a result, transitions in the radius of the packaging container 1 can be rounded, so that no or only a little residual material can catch at these transitions and thus easier removal is possible.

In this case, according to the invention, the largest radius 51 of the reinforcement region 8 may be larger than the radius 52 of the directly adjacent jacket region 2. According to one embodiment, however, it is also possible, especially when the jacket 2 is formed approximately cylindrically or counter-conically in the second end region 5, that the largest radius 51 of the reinforcing region 8 is smaller than the radius 52 of the directly adjacent jacket region 2 Transition of the arranged in the second end portion 5 shell 2 to the conical shell softens and prevents or reduces a catch of Restgut and thus facilitates 20, the removal of the contents.

In addition, by means of the reinforcing region 8 arranged in the second end region 5, a structural reinforcement of the packaging container 1 or a deformation during the lifting of the container by a user is reduced. 25

The packaging container 1 has, in the first end region 3, the reinforcement region 8 with a curvature 9. This curvature 9 of the reinforcement region 8 has a radius of curvature 11 with respect to a cutting plane contained in the central longitudinal axis 10, which radius of curvature may be different at different points in the curvature 9. As has already been stated, the curvature 9 can have any convex shape, such as e.g. also take the form of a quarter circle. However, the curvature 9 may also have other convex curvature shapes and e.g. also be formed by a Elipsenabschnitt. It is advantageous in particular if tangents to surface points of an inner side 53 of the packaging container 1 show a steady, non-erratic course of their inclination during the transition from the bottom 35 4 into the reinforcement region 8 or from the reinforcement region 8 into the jacket 2. In the transition regions between the bottom 4 and the reinforcing region 8 or between the reinforcing region 8 and the sheath 2 no edges or pointed throats are present on the inside 53 in this case. 40 According to the invention it is further possible that a wall thickness 54 of the packaging container 1 in the region of the shell 2 between 10% and 40%, in particular between 15% and 30% of a wall thickness 55 in the region of the gain region 8 (in Fig. 2 by the hatched Indicated area). This offers the advantage of a material saving and thus lower production costs. The necessary structural strength is nevertheless given, since an increase in the strength is achieved on account of the reinforcing regions 8 or closure element 7 arranged in the first end region 3 or in the second end region 5.

According to the invention, the packaging container 1 can be formed from a plastic film, in particular by a deep drawing process. However, the production or shaping by an injection-molding process or injection blow molding or injection stretch blow molding process is likewise possible.

The material for forming the plastic film may be selected from the group of polypropylene, polystyrene or polyesters. As a result, the raw material costs can be kept low 55 and allows the use of these materials in addition to the food authenticity a relatively uncomplicated processing 10 AT 500 064 B1.

Polypropylene packaging containers have good strength and rigidity at low density, while having good stress cracking resistance. They retain their properties 5 even at higher temperatures, whereby a packaging of warm goods or a heating of the contents in the packaging container 1 according to the invention is possible.

Polystyrene in its basic form is clear-sighted with high rigidity and hardness. However, it is also possible according to the invention to color the material in order to adapt the appearance of the packaging container to the respective requirements. By using these materials, it is possible due to the high strength, to reduce the wall thicknesses of the packaging container to a minimum, which in addition to the costs also reduces the weight and thus brings benefits, inter alia, during transport of the container. FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment variant of the packaging container 1 according to the invention, with an additional weakening region 16 or a second opening 15 arranged in the region of the jacket 2.

It should be noted at this point that individual components of the individual variant embodiments are transferable to the respective other embodiment variants, e.g. the arrangement of reinforcing regions 8 or the arrangement or formation of openings on the packaging container 1 or training with rectangular or triangular cross-section or cylindrical or counter-conical shapes, so that these parts of the description are transferable accordingly, even if not explicitly referenced in the individual embodiments for this purpose becomes.

According to the invention, it is possible for a second opening 15 or a first weakened area 16 designed to produce a second opening 15 to be arranged in the region of the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1. Such a configuration makes it possible, according to the invention, not only to gain access to the contents of the packaging container 1 through a first opening 6, but also, if necessary, to remove the contents through this second opening 15. The production of the second opening 15 can already take place during the actual forming process of the packaging container 1, for example by arranging gaps in the mold. Subsequent punching out of a second opening 15 is also possible, which is advantageous in the case of more complicated shapes of the second opening 15.

For example, to prevent the unwanted falling out of the content or the view of the content, it is possible according to the invention to form the second opening 15 initially closed. This can be done for example by a seal with a foil or a punching 40 along a line of weakness in the weakened region 16. If necessary, access to the content can be released by tearing open or tearing off a first weakening region 16.

According to the invention, the second opening 15 or the weakening area 16 forming this opening can extend between the reinforcing area 8 arranged in the first end area 3 and the reinforcing area 8 arranged in the second end area 5. Furthermore, according to the invention, the extent of the second opening 15 or of the weakened area 16 in the circumferential direction can be up to 120 °. As a result, it is advantageously possible to adapt the second opening 15 or the weakened region 16 optimally to the respective contents of the packaging container 1. Also, the shape of the second opening 15 and the weakening area 16 should not be limited to the rectangular shape shown in FIG. 3, but are erfindungemäß, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, also circular or oval shapes or polygons as training of second opening 15 possible. Also included in the invention are complex shapes, such as the silhouette of objects or figures, in particular comic figures. 1 1 AT 500 064 B1

Fig. 6 shows the packaging container 1 according to the invention in a view along the central longitudinal axis 10 in a circular configuration. The bottom 4 or its contour in the region of the first end region 3 is not shown. FIG. 5 shows a receiving space 17 recessed in the region of the second opening 15 in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 10 of the packaging container 1.

The receiving space 17 can be mitgeformt already during the manufacture of the packaging container 1, but can also, for example, for more complex forms of Aufnahmerau-io mes 17 are formed by prefabricated moldings and subsequently connected to the packaging container 1, for example, welded or glued, be. Since the receiving space 17 is only connected to the packaging container 1 immediately before filling, a high stack density is achieved, as a result of which high transport quantities and thus lower costs are achieved as a consequence. 15

Due to the design of the packaging container 1 with a receiving space 17, it is possible to integrate an additional content to be packaged separately from the remaining contents of the packaging container 1. The size of the receiving space 17 corresponds to the size of the second opening 15 or of the first weakening area 16 (not shown in FIG. 6). It is preferably provided that the recessed receiving space 17 adjoins the second opening 15 or the first weakening area 16. The shape of the receiving space 17 itself is shown in Fig. 6 only by way of example approximately rectangular. However, it is inventively possible to form the receiving space 17 in any desired, adapted to the application form. 25

The outer contour of the packaging container 1 along the central longitudinal axis 10 may be both cylindrical and conically tapered or widening.

FIG. 7 shows the packaging container 1 according to the invention in a view along its central longitudinal axis 10 in a rectangular configuration.

In this embodiment, the contour of the shell 2 of the packaging container 1 is designed rectangular. The predominantly rectangular receiving space 17 is arranged in one of the corners of the packaging container 1. Access to the receiving space via the second opening 35. The corners of the packaging container 1 and the receiving space 17 can also be rounded according to the invention. Likewise, the cross sections of the packaging container 1 and the receiving space 17 may be square.

According to the invention, the receiving space 17 can extend along the central longitudinal axis 10 between the reinforcement area 8 arranged in the first end area 3 and the reinforcement area 8 arranged in the second end area 5 (not visible in FIG. 7). In this case, the receiving space 7 can be arranged both in the lower, first end region 3 and in the upper, second end region 5. The receiving space 17 is preferably arranged in the area of the jacket 2 in a region with the thinner wall thickness 54 (see FIG. 2) 45 thinner than the wall thickness 55.

The outer contour of the packaging container 1 along the central longitudinal axis 10 may be both rectangular or square and conically tapered or widening. That the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1 is preferably conical, with the jacket 2 facing upwards, i. in the direction of the first opening 6, expanded.

Further possible embodiments of the outer contours of the packaging container 1 are shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. 55 In FIG. 8, the packaging container 1 is approximately elliptical or oval. 12 AT 500 064 B1

If the shape of the packaging container 1 is further formed in the direction of a narrow ellipse (boat shape), this has the advantage that this shape of the human hand when gripping and holding the container is even better ergonomically adapted and thus a secure hold at the same time pleasant feeling is given. 5

The receiving space 17 may be arranged, for example, on the longitudinal side and formed in cross section in the form of a half ellipse.

Fig. 9 shows the packaging container 1 according to the invention in a triangular configuration. 10

The semicircular receiving space 17 is located on one of the sides of the triangle.

An advantage of this embodiment is a simplified emptying by the formation of a "gutter" by the acute angle of two adjacent sides of the triangular Seitenacks Packers 15 tersl.

Fig. 10 shows a further embodiment of the packaging container 1 according to the invention, in a perspective view. In the region of the bottom 4, a receiving space 17 set back in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 10 of the packaging container 1 and adjoining the second opening 15 is shown. However, it is also possible according to the invention for a weakened area to be arranged in the area of the bottom 4 after removal thereof allows access to the receiving space 17. In the receiving space 17 may be an identification feature, such as a label with 25 attached thereto barcode or similar codes or other support elements for a code arranged.

Furthermore, it is also possible to attach the barcode, for example, directly to a wall bounding the receiving space 17, for example by means of an offset printing process 30 or by embossing or depressions in the container wall itself. In the case of the attachment of a label, it is possible according to the invention to fix it to the packaging container 1 by, for example, a hot pressing process or by means of an ultrasonic welding process or a wide variety of adhesives or adhesives suitable for secure adhesion. In the region of the first end region 3 and / or in the region of the second end region 5, one or more reinforcement regions 8 can be arranged. The shoulders of the reinforcing regions 8 form coupling elements 14 for fixing a jacket-like outer part 18. The outer part 18 is wrapped around the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1 in the form of a sleeve or sleeve. The outer part 18 may e.g. from a cardboard strip herge-40 presents.

10 shows a shell-like outer part 18, which is arranged between the region of the reinforcement region 8 in the region of the first end region 3 and the region of the reinforcement region 8 in the region of the second end region 5, surrounding the packaging container 1.

The shell-like outer part 18 assumes the function of a support jacket and gives the packaging container in the region of the shell 2 a high stability. According to one embodiment of the invention, a further opening 19 or a further weakening area 20 designed to produce a further opening 19 can be arranged in the shell-like outer part 18. The further opening 19 may be reclosable. This can be done, for example, by a protruding tab 21 which can be clamped between the jacket-like outer part 18 and the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1. It is also possible a glue point at the location of the mantelart outer part which is covered by the tab 21.

Furthermore, a receiving space 17 with a second opening 15 can be arranged behind the area of the further weakened area 20 or behind the further opening 19 (not shown in FIG. 10 5, see FIGS. 6-9). The further opening 19 can according to the invention have the same size as the underlying second opening 15, which allows access to the receiving space 17. It is also possible that the receiving space 17 is formed by corresponding wall parts of the shell-like outer part 18. In the embodiment of the jacket-like outer part 18 made of a plastic material, for example in the form of a bagging io, the advantage of a cost-effective manufacturing process is achieved because, for example, an additional content is integrated in the bag of the jacket-like outer part 18, the bag, for example with a seal, is closed and the shell-like outer part 18 is arranged around the packaging container 1, that the bag is arranged in or behind the second opening 15. 15

The shell-like outer part 18 may be formed according to the invention by a cardboard material. Due to the formation of fixing or coupling elements 14 through the reinforcement region 8 in the region of the first end region 3 and the reinforcement region 8 in the region of the second end region 5, it is possible according to the invention to fix the jacket-like outer part 18 on the packaging container 1. Special advantages of the shell-like outer part 18 when no adhesive or the like must be used by the coupling elements 14, since it is rotatable about the central longitudinal axis 10 of the packaging container 1 and can form a resealable closure element 7 for a receiving space 17. This is advantageous if an attached over the receiving space 17 tamper-evident closure, such as a sealing film, after first use has already been removed, since thus a simple reclosure by rotating the shell-like outer part 18 is possible.

By rotating the jacket-like outer part 18, furthermore, the entire information or images arranged over the circumference of the packaging container 1, for example 30 usage instructions, can be made visible. The shape of the further opening 19 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 10 according to the invention. For example, rectangular or more complex geometric shapes or silhouettes of figures, in particular comic figures, may be formed. Furthermore, it is possible for the further weakened area 20 to form separable elements, which for example form elements of a puzzle.

According to the invention, the reinforcing regions 8 need not be restricted to the region of the first end region 3 or of the second end region 5, but a plurality of reinforcing regions 8 can be arranged distributed over the entire jacket 2 of the packaging container 1. Accordingly, a plurality of shell-like outer parts 18 may be arranged between the respective reinforcing regions 8. It is also possible for the closure element 7, in particular a sealing flange, to form the coupling element 14.

According to the invention, it is possible for the packaging container 1 to be printed directly in the region of the jacket 2 45, for example by means of an offset printing method, as a result of which it is possible to make this information or images visible through the further opening 19.

The height of the further weakening region 20 or the further opening 19 can extend to up to 95% of the jacket-type outer part 18, whereas the width of the wide opening 19 or of the further weakened region 20 extends up to 50% of the circumference can. It is also possible that the shell-like outer part 18 consists of a plastic material, wherein the fixation of this outer part in the region of the first end portion 3 by a arranged in 55 this area reinforcing area 8 or by the closure element 7 14 AT 500 064 B1 can be done or a plastic tube is pushed over the desired area of the packaging container 1 and, for example can be shrunk under heat.

As a material for the shell-like outer part 18, as already stated, Kar-5 ton but also plastic can be used. In particular, it is also possible to use a composite material which is composed of several layers of different materials, such as cardboard, plastic, but also metal foils. In the case of using a cardboard material is provided to provide the corresponding outer part 18 with a water-repellent layer. This can e.g. by using a plastic strip laminated with a cardboard strip, which is cut to size.

It can also be provided in particular that the cardboard is additionally sealed in the region of the cut edges with a water-repellent material. This is particularly advantageous when the packaging container 1 are exposed to increased moisture access. The coating of the cardboard used for the outer part 18 with a water-repellent layer namely prevents that one of the moist environment to swelling of the carton and finally comes to a detachment from the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1. 20 Furthermore, it is possible to arrange a further shell-like outer part between the shell 2 of the packaging container 1 and the shell-like outer part 18, so that by rotating the shell-like outer part 18 and thus the further opening 19 and the further weakening region 20, the further shell-like outer part or whose printing becomes visible. 25

Due to the fact that a plurality of reinforcing regions 8 can be arranged distributed over the height of the packaging container 1, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of jacket-like outer parts 18 and also several further jacket-like outer parts with different colors or imprints and several openings or areas of weakening associated with these areas.

The holder of the shell-like outer part 18 is effected by the coupling elements 14 positively and releasably. According to the invention, the further jacket-like outer part can be undetachably connected, in particular by an adhesive, to the jacket 2 of the packaging container 1.

According to the invention, the conicity of the cup or the cone angle of the casing 2 can be greater than 4 °, in particular greater than 5.5 °, but can be cylindrical or slightly counter-conical, in particular in the second end region 5, since this causes the production or filling 40 process is simplified by improved handling or recording in the filling station.
