Description

Packing device

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of have wall of container and annex that be used for this type of and similar containers thereof with lid and other dividually or the packing device that integrally forms, as bucket, bottle, pipe, jar or sack.The present invention be more particularly directed to the glass bottle that a kind of blowing mould is made, preferably, relate to a kind of bottle of making by the synthetic material blowing mould of any kind of.

Not exclusively, the invention particularly relates to a kind of above-mentioned packing device of making by plastic composite material, wash the container that protects articles for use as the splendid attire cleaning.

Background technology

In the application of this character, then for to make the content in the container under pressure, often require the user by hand container to be imposed squeese pressure, just can pour out the content in a certain amount of container by discharge side.In principle, in this case, the user can hold arbitrary position of container, because vessel surface is identical, user's sense of touch can not be held proper site to it and be played booster action.For also there is similar phenomenon in container from a placement location is put into the action of another location.Like this, container is easy to landing from hand, particularly when the smooth blanket deposition of container during on the surface.Be used on the lid of closed container discharge side similar phenomenon being arranged also, as spiral block or squeeze block.And the appearance design personalization of packing device also should be noted that the problem that does not therefore cause its economical production aspect.

In addition, if just can determine the three-dimensional position and the orientation of packing device separately with sense of touch, this is of great use.This possibility is favourable for the container of for example adorning shampoo or body lotion, because because the user's has foam on the face, he can't open by eyes, but wish to determine vessel port or the residing position of lid, and wish to know that container is just to have taken or taken in hand.

Summary of the invention

Thereby, the present invention has this purpose, under the situation of the sort of packing device of narrating as introductory section, the device that the present invention can provide a kind of user's of making sense of touch to respond, so that the user can feel to obtain, particularly, although the user can't see and can feel the three-dimensional position or the orientation of device and the geometric configuration that need not to observe packing device.

According to the present invention, utilize that at least one place local limited region can achieve this end on the wall of container outside face, the hardness of the synthetic material of described local limited region is different with the hardness of the synthetic material at other position of preparation wall of container.

The present invention be more particularly directed to the field of haptics of this definition, just, the principle of sense of touch.According to the present invention, the outside face of this packing device has its periphery and continues level and smooth belt-like zone, prepare the synthetic material of this belt-like zone sense of touch, and preferred its color all be different from the other parts of packing device outside face.

If only be provided with local limited region on the bottom or the top of wall of container, just simply and easily the perception packing device three-dimensional position and orientation, be favourable like this.

In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, if be provided with the zone of a soft at least in the bottom of wall of container, particularly this zone has the rubber sense of touch, the lower curtate zone that can point out the user to hold packing device like this.

And the present invention advises the outside face of wall of container local limited region and the general aligned of outside face at other position.This arrangement has aesthetic feeling and is beneficial to holds packing device.

According to the present situation of present technique, can only make blowing mould main body with homogenous material surface.Have only by the compound hot extrusion process blowing moulding and can make the different strip material inclusion enclaves similar with packing device.Yet, can obtain the zone that the different materials arranged in the on-plane surface mode is formed by the blowing mould process, for example have the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) of rubber sense of touch, even can be arranged in week intactly around the zone on.Thereby particularly in important embodiment of the present invention, further propose, described local limited region is the artificial material part of separating that links to each other with other positions of wall of container.Therefore the main body of the main body, particularly ampuliform of packing device is divided into two parts at least.This main body is made up of packing device (bottle) and an auxiliary element of reality, and described packing device accommodated product afterwards, second position, the especially injection moulding of described auxiliary element formation packing device outside face.This auxiliary element, be otherwise known as " independent synthetic material element ", by clamping, screw, all the other positions that bonding, welding or similar approach are fixedly attached to packing device especially.

Can there be different modes to produce the independent synthetic material element of casting.It can be made by the material that can produce the different surfaces sense of touch.Yet, use two kinds of composition injection molding methods, the synthetic material element also can be the moulded parts synthetic material by two kinds of compositions of two composition injection moldings manufacturings separately, the element of compound extrusion mo(u)lding comprises the material outer layer that is used for realizing reliable bonded assembly material inner core with the remainder of packing device and has required tactile properties.Under such situation, inner core can partly be projected into outer in or with the roughly setting of aligned of outer field surface, thereby can flush or project into outside the skin with skin, make inner core just outside the surface a little, so that can not only change tactile properties, can also further produce visual effect.

And, advise that harder synthetic material comprises polyolefin, softer synthetic material comprises people's elastomeric material.In this case, preferably harder synthetic material is polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), and softer synthetic material is a thermoplastic elastomer.

In addition, if local limited region with different colors with all the other positions of wall of container outside face, be favourable.In the independent material elements that is grouped into by two kinds of one-tenth, if, especially inner core material with outer institute color different, also can advantageously provide different colors.

Not only by material, choose institute color, and also have the geometric configuration on surface, can distinguish all the other positions of independent synthetic material element and packing device further.For this reason, the local limited region of advising at least one has the structure of a plurality of protrusion-shaped on its outer surface.The structure of protrusion-shaped can be easy to by user's finger perception, he and she need not see also can find on the wall of container preferably to the point of the application of force.And the structure of protrusion-shaped can antiskid.Simultaneously, if especially the structure of these protrusion-shaped protrudes in the background matrix when outstanding significantly by suitable color or quality, the structure of these protrusion-shaped can be carried out visual stimulus to the user.Thereby the structure of these protrusion-shaped is suitable for visually making the packing device personalization, and impels the user to make the decision of purchase.

In addition, the structure of suggestion protrusion-shaped is given prominence to a little from the remainder of wall of container outside face.

And, if the hardness of the structure of protrusion-shaped is favourable greater than the hardness of the synthetic material of wall of container outside face remainder.Yet particularly preferably, the structure of protrusion-shaped has the little hardness of hardness of the synthetic material of specific volume wall outside face remainder.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, further the suggestion wall of container is made up of the multilayered shell with inner casing zone and shell zone, the hardness of the synthetic material in inner casing zone is bigger, wherein, the structure of protrusion-shaped is outwards given prominence to and is embedded in along circumference the synthetic material in shell zone from the inner casing zone.Can produce according to packing device of the present invention on economy of large scale ground, and do not have the problem of two composition injection mould processes.

Less than with regard to the synthetic material hardness of wall of container outside face remainder, the protrusion-shaped structure being placed the opening of wall of container with regard to the hardness of the structure of protrusion-shaped, may be more favourable.

Fig. 8 illustrates a container according to the structure of second embodiment of the invention, and this container is usually represented with label 1.Below with reference to Fig. 8, can only see the circle wall 2 and the base wall 3 of container 1.The top of container 1 is not shown among the figure, and this top can be arbitrary required shape.For example, this top is can tight pouring spout or the similar oral area of sealed cap seal.Circle wall 2 can be cylindricality, rectangle, ellipse or other shape that needs.

Contiguous base wall 3 is provided with many raised structures 4 on the circle wall 2 of container 1, and this raised structures 4 can be equably or is distributed in discontinuously on the circle wall 2.The zone of the circle wall 2 that does not have raised structures 4 can be provided if desired.Preferably, on the circle wall 2 raised structures 4 is being located on the antipodal point, therefore point from the opposition point of circle wall 2 and can apply squeese pressure to container 1 with other with the thumb of a hand, wherein raised structures 4 shows that to the indication of a point of user being preferably in this some place applies squeese pressure.Although in current embodiment of the present invention, raised structures 4 is provided at the zone of circle wall 2 and the base wall 3 of adjacent vessel, can also select other zone of circle wall 2 not at current region or except that current region.Raised structures 4 can be provided with in line with circle wall 2, or gives prominence to a small degree from the surface of circle wall 2.The cross-sectional plane of raised structures 4 can be circle, dihedral, ellipse or other suitable shape, and its plane of exposing can be flat, curved, smooth or coarse.

Compare with previous embodiment, raised structures 4 is made by the synthetic material that hardness is different from the synthetic material hardness of making circle wall 2 outside faces, according to because of the selected synthetic material of structure, raised structures 4 can correspondingly have than the either large or small hardness of synthetic material that forms circle wall 2 surfaces.

The preferred use to the known two composition Shooting Techniques of expert made container, and wherein, a kind of synthetic material composition has big hardness, and another kind of synthetic material composition has less hardness.Preferred first kind of synthetic material is material, the especially polyethylene (PE) selected or polypropylene (PP), the material of preferred second kind of synthetic material for selecting, for example artificial rubber, particularly thermoplastic elastomer from the elastic rubber material group from the polyolefin group.

Adopting two composition injection moulding manufacturings to have under the situation of container of raised structures 4, preferred such step: when the container with raised structures 4 will have the high hardness of the synthetic material of specific volume wall 2 outside faces, at first step, the internal layer of wall of container 2 is formed by injection molding by harder synthetic material, and raised structures 4 from this internal layer to outer process.Subsequently, inject skin on internal layer, this skin forms wall of container 2 outside faces and softer, and raised structures 4 is embedded in the outer field softer synthetic material by this.

Raised structures 4 should have the less hardness of synthetic material than circle wall 2 outside faces if desired, step is such: the first step, be injection molded into whole circle wall 2 with harder synthetic material, wherein on circle wall 2, make simultaneously majority and bore a hole accordingly with a plurality of raised structures 4.In following step, will softer synthetic material be injected in the perforation on the circle wall 2, so that make raised structures 4.These raised structures 4 can interconnect with the inside face of netted mode in circle wall 2 by very thin connection net.

Wall thickness at the total length upper container wall 2 of container 1 can basically identical.Yet the wall thickness of part that the wall of container 2 that contains raised structures 4 also can be provided is greater than the wall thickness of container 1 remainder, and the container 1 near base wall 3 will obtain to be higher than the shape rigidity at all the other positions by this.Opposite Thickness Distribution is also favourable to many application.

Press cover during Fig. 9 illustrates according to another embodiment of the invention, it is usually represented with label 10.In this embodiment, on the circle wall 2 of press cover 10, on the opposed broad side surface 12 raised structures 4 is being arranged along diameter.Where these raised structures 4 signal users should impose the strength of finger so that make broad side surface 12 produce deformation.For example, when removing press cover 10 from container so that can pour out content in the container time, throw off itself and the engaging of supplementary device for the claw type fabricated section 11 that makes press cover 10, need make the such distortion of broad side surface 12 generations, this supplementary device can be bonded on the back (not shown) of container.Can adopt similar mode to construct the circle wall of spiral seal cover cap, to improve controlling to it.

Raised structures also can be provided at outer covering, and this enclosing cover holds the in-to-in seal cover cap, with the convenient enclosing cover of removing.

At last, may need to the invention provides auxiliary component, in the packing device that is used in aforesaid kind.For example, can install, as be clamped in dull and stereotyped wall, plate, dish or analogue (not shown) on container or the seal cover cap, these dull and stereotyped walls, plate, dish or analogue can the aforementioned manner structures and are had raised structures.Term " auxiliary component " also comprises the ribbon (not illustrating similarly) that extends around the circle wall of container or seal cover cap.
