Abstract

short version
The object of the invention is to provide a container system as a replacement of tubes for receiving, transport, storage and output of flowable, especially pasty, pasty or viscous substances available, which eliminates the disadvantages of tubes such as incomplete emptying and poor stackability and can do without cartons.
The invention is a twisted cuboid, which is planned and ordered by planar rotational pressure on the roof surface and ordered by predetermined bending lines, folded into itself. The Twist cuboid is completely emptied via an outlet opening in the floor or roof area for the ingredient.
The Twist cuboid is particularly suitable as a replacement tube, since the cuboid shape can be completely emptied without additional devices and easily used for the presentation of goods by the standing and Aufstelligenschaften of cuboid containers. The cuboid shape provides adequate, usable and easy-to-read surfaces for advertising and design purposes. Outer cartons are not necessary. The cuboid shape is easily stackable and requires no outer cartons. This saves production, space, disposal and transport costs.

Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a usable as a tube replacement container system for flowable materials, in particular for pasty or viscous substances.

State of the art / disadvantages

Containers of this kind are predominantly known as tubes. Tubes are an elongated, firm but malleable container. The ingredients are varied. Toothpaste, mustard, ketchup as well as paints, adhesives and creams are just a few examples of the diverse fields of application. The round tube body is mainly made of plastic or aluminum. The shape of the tube is oval. It also includes circle and ellipse shapes as special shapes of an oval. The basic structure and components of (toothpaste) tubes are in DE 20 2015 000 627 U1 described. Based on this, the terms are also used here.

Disadvantage of the tubes according to the prior art is that the tubes with a nearly circular cross-section can be emptied only insufficiently complete, since the circular cross-section of the tube shoulder prevents complete emptying over the imaginary boundary of the tube shoulder by compressing the tube body.

In Scripture DE 20 2015 000 627 U1 an improvement of the emptying is achieved by forming the shoulder part of a tube oval. This reduces the part of the tube content which remains in the shoulder part and the head of the tube after the tube body has been pressed out. But even the oval shape of the tube shoulder does not prevent a residual tube contents in the shoulder part of the tube and in the head can not be removed.

A tube with breaking point for tearing, which separates the lower part of the tube jacket and the upper part of the tube jacket in the direction of tube shoulder, is in the utility model DE 20 2009 001 443 U1 described. After most of the tube contents have been squeezed out, the tube is separated by twisting the upper and lower tube parts. Through the tear-off opening, the remaining tube contents located there can be removed. The lower tube shell part is placed over the then open, upper tube shell part as a temporary protective cover for the remaining contents, so that the contents can not dry out. In this tube variant is not clear how and whether and with what tools the tube located in the upper tube shell part can be removed. It also remains unclear how the content is taken out of the lower part of the tube.

A similar approach as in DE 20 2009 001 443 U1 is in DE 20 2007 010 382 U1 described. Again, the upper tube body is detached with a tear strip, a predetermined breaking point, a perforation or a weakening line. Again, a portion of the tube contents remaining with other means such as spatula, fingers, spoon u. Ä. Must be removed. Again, it remains unclear how the other part of the contents, which remains in the lower tube shell part, is removed. In Scripture DE 20 2007 010 382 U1 Only the part of the tube contents remaining in the tube shoulder is estimated to be up to 15% of the total tube contents. A publication of the consumer center Hamburg (retrieved on 17.08.2017 under http://www.vzhh.de/presse/448839/ zahnpasta-der-verflixte-rest.aspx) in the press archive of this website speaks of 14%.

The patent DE 691 25 617 T2 shows a cuboid, well stackable tube with attached on both side walls Längsspfalz, which is biased with an inward preforming. Beginning on the closed tube tail, by exerting a squeezing pressure with the hand on the cuboid tube body, the side walls provided with the longitudinal gap are folded inwards and the contents are forced out of the tube body via an open nozzle or closure device. As a result, in particular if a squeezing device known from the prior art is used instead of the hand, this cuboid tube jacket is pressed out quite well. In this solution, too, no statement is made about the emptying of the ingredients, which by design remain in the rectangular shoulder portion in this solution but also in the nozzle or closure device.

The publication DE 37 39 016 A1 describes a stackable tube or bottle-shaped vessel with a pyramid-like shape. This body is suitable for parallelepiped stacking of several units. It originates from an imaginary cube in which diagonals from each corner point are led into each of the other corners of the floor. At the height of the center of the diagonals in the middle, a vertical section takes place, which aligns with the end points of the other two diagonals. The resulting diagonal and the bottom wall are roof-like indented, so that these walls, when the vessel is compressed from the outside, unfold inwards and so the pressing of the Ingredient support. A simple dispensing opening can be made by cutting off the top. In this case, the container can be folded and expressed very flat. In another embodiment, in which a sleeve is provided with a screw or plug cap in the region of the tip, as the tip is cut to accommodate the sleeve and screw or plug cap, the container in this area can not be folded flat , There will remain residual amounts of the ingredient in the container.

In contrast to the last-mentioned writings is in Scripture DE 1486460 A is a "Schraubtube" described in which the content is pressed out not by pressing, but screws. The closure opening opposite the container opening is shaped so that, when the closure side is rotated relative to the opening side, the tube container, starting from the closure side, is screwed together helically. For better handling, a tube jacket conically constricted into a knurled strip is arranged below the opening and at the closure end. About the remaining in the screw holes and at the transition areas to the knurling residual amounts is only said that no significant residues remain in the tube.

In all the variants mentioned remains a more or less large remainder of the tube contents, which is not removed by pressing the tube body.

In all the above variants, no statement is made about the remaining part of the tube contents in the lower tube shell part and the emptying technique to be used.

Again, other solutions have been devoted to this problem. The most well-known solution is an additional device in the form of a squeezing device for the tube jacket. These squeezing devices press the part lying below the tube shoulder almost completely off, but also only this part. In KR 10 2004 0077204 A Such a toothpaste squeezing device will be described. Again, the squeezing device works to the tube shoulder, but does not go beyond it.

The same applies to the proposals in the writings AT 212770 . DE 297 17 321 U1 . DE 199 62 370 A1 . US 4,316,556 and AT 303 606 , All suggestions squeeze the tube contents out to the tube shoulder. The rest remains in the tube.

Due to the tube shape, an upright position of the tube is not possible. To overcome this disadvantage, one approach is to "put upside down" the tube. To make this possible, caps are designed so large that they allow a place of the tube "upside down", ie on the cap. Compared to a closure cap, which only has to be a closure of the tube opening, the tube, which can be placed on the head or the tube closure, requires a larger and stability-permitting closure cap. However, higher material and transport costs may mean higher production costs.

With an externally threaded locking head, with an internally threaded locking cap, which is screwed onto the locking head and with a peelable cover sheet, which in many cases is still applied to the locking head opening, the closure area of a tube is very elaborate. In addition, the opening and closing operation is expensive and requires a certain amount of skill, depending on the configuration of the thread during screwing and unscrewing, in order to open the closure cap and the closure cap. Overlay the head in such a way that the start and end of internal and external threads are adjusted in such a way that it is necessary to turn a screw-threaded tube without any problems without multiple-pass attempts.

Finally, due to its round or oval shape, the tube has the disadvantage that the tube is poorly stackable. With an additional rectangular Umverpackung this circumstance is remedied. However, this advantage is paid for by an additional packaging share. Outer packaging causes costs for additional packaging material, manufacturing costs for this outer packaging, costs for packing the tubes in the outer packaging and then also costs for the transport of the outer packaging and later also costs for the disposal of the outer packaging.

Objectives of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a container system for receiving, transporting, storing and dispensing flowable substances, in particular with pasty, pasty or viscous substances, which eliminates the abovementioned disadvantages.

Description of the invention

These objects and objects are achieved by using a container system in the form of a rotary cuboid or cuboid having the features according to one of claims 1 to 6 with a Method according to one of claims 7 or 8 realized.

It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific combinations of features of the individual embodiments, but also includes combinations of features disclosed in different embodiments, as long as they follow the spirit and purpose of the invention.

By replacing the usual tube form by a cuboid container said re-packaging is no longer necessary. The cuboid shape allows easy stacking, placement and transport of this packaging form. This replacement of the usual tube shape by a suitably trained cuboid container eliminates the aforementioned transport and stacking problems.

By dispensing with the conventional, additional outer packaging of tubes, process, production and transport cost advantages and cost advantages in the subsequent disposal for the outer packaging can be achieved.

By replacing the usual tube shape by a cuboid container eliminates the usual in a tube constructive feature of a tube-shoulder, consisting of tube shoulder, tube head and tube closure parts.

The usual in tubes tube head as an outlet for the content is replaced by a predetermined breaking point in the bottom surface or roof surface of the cuboid container, which can be opened as an outlet opening. The outlet opening is placed in the floor or in the roof so that the stability is not affected by this outlet opening. The outlet opening and associated equipment therefore have a flat surface.

In a further embodiment, the outlet opening is designed so that it can be resealed airtight. Furthermore, it must be recognizable at the outlet opening whether the closure or the outlet opening was already open before the first use. This is important for ingredients intended for consumption or which are added to edibles such as e.g. Mustard or ketchup or other comparable substances.

The different construction of the tube replacement container eliminates the tube parts in which residual amounts of the ingredients can accumulate. This remains when extruding the cuboid container in these parts no residual amounts of the ingredient and it can be saved by eliminating the costly in the prior art tube-shoulder, tube head and tube closure parts production and material costs and transport costs.

Due to the particular embodiment of a parallelepiped container as a compressible and at the same time in a certain form and scheduled collapsible container from which the tube contents is pressed out, the said tube contents residue problems are eliminated, without an additional device such as a roll-Auspressklammer above or similar devices.

With the aforementioned constructive components, the cuboid container is designed so that a complete squeezing of the container content is possible.

By the simultaneous use of the container as a replacement tube and as a squeezing that allows a complete squeezing of the container, the above three separate operations for tubes, namely pressing the tube body lying below the tube shoulder with a squeezing device, separating the tube sheath into two parts, removal the tube contents that can not be squeezed out in the tube shoulder are removed with the help of a finger, spatula or similar tool in one operation and without additional aids.

Description of the twist cuboid

The container system consists of a cuboid cube body, which is formed in a certain way. This body consists of flat, stiff and suitable for the purpose of the material. A single container emerges from the network of a cube-cuboid by the erection of the four side walls by 90 degrees and the angling of the adjoining one of the side walls roof or top surface also by 90 degrees. This is a cuboid container emerged. The edges of this cuboid container, which are not caused by buckling of the side walls are - closed after filling with the ingredient - with techniques of the prior art and, if it is perishable substances, hermetically sealed and germ-free.

Predetermined by a series of desired bending lines or desired folding lines, this is folded by rotation pressure on the roof surface of the cuboid, this plan and ordered as a twisted cuboid.

For this to be possible, all the sidewalls additionally have diagonal desired crease lines which are at an angle of 45 degrees for all side surfaces from an upper corner of the respective sidewall in the opposite lower corner. All diagonal desired crease lines begin in the same right or left upper corner of each sidewall.

If the diagonal desired crease lines on the side surfaces run from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, then the rotary pressure exerted on the roof or floor surface must have a clockwise angular momentum, so that the Twist cube controlled by the Soll-bend lines, completely folded. If the diagonal desired crease lines run from the upper right corner to the lower left corners of the side surfaces, then the rotary pressure requires an anticlockwise angular momentum.

According to the invention, in all embodiments of the twist cuboid described here and following, the roof and bottom surface or only the roof surface or only the bottom surface have a greater rigidity than the side surfaces. As a result, the rotary-pressure process is particularly supported in viscous ingredients by deformation forces that occur due to the rotary pressure just in the bottom and roof area, counteracted by the greater rigidity of these surfaces.

According to the invention, the cuboid body is a cube. Therefore, all edges of the body are the same length. This ensures that when folded after a rotation of 90 degrees of the cuboid body is folded in the form of a cube and the same size areas of the roof and the floor are arranged one above the other. All edges of the twist cuboid are designed as desired bending lines.

According to the invention, the bottom or roof surface contains different types of outlet openings for the ingredient of the twisted cuboid. In a first, simple embodiment, the outlet opening is a predetermined breaking point. This has a circular, oval or angular outline shape or any combination of said outlines, which is mounted in the bottom or roof surface of the twisted cuboid. The size of the outlet opening can be designed arbitrarily and limited only by the size of the floor or roof area. The outlet opening or outlet openings as predetermined breaking points are configured in one embodiment such that break lines extending from the contour line in the direction of the center of the outlet opening break open at rotational pressure on the bottom or roof surface of the twisted cuboid and open at the contour lines and thus the outlet opening for release the ingredient.

In a further embodiment, the outlet openings are closed by a closure material which bursts open at a certain pressure on the appearance of the opening and thus releases the outlet opening for the ingredient.

If ingredient is to be removed from the twisted cuboid, the twisted cuboid is lifted by hand and the predetermined breaking point in the bottom or in the roof of the twisted cuboid is brought to breaking or bursting by applying rotational pressure to the roof or bottom surface. Thus, the twist cuboid is open and the ingredient can be emptied by continued rotary pressure. This embodiment is useful when dumping the twisted cuboid content in a purging process. Then the more complex design of the outlet opening is not necessary.

In an alternative embodiment, the outlet opening can be opened and reclosed and designed so that the integrity of the outlet opening can be seen with the eye. The opening device is designed so that the stability of the floor surface is not affected by surveys

Again, the Twist cuboid is raised by hand and the outlet opening then opened by opening the outlet opening. Depending on the size of the twisted cuboid, the rotary pressure of the roof surface is carried out with one hand. If the twist cuboid is so large that it does not fit into the palm of one hand, then the second hand is used for the emptying process. With this second hand then the bottom of the twist cuboid is held so that it does not change its position when the rotational pressure is applied with the other hand and the contents of the twist cuboid is pushed out.

In a further embodiment, the outlet opening is attached as a predetermined breaking point or folding device in the roof of the twisted cuboid. In this embodiment, the twist cuboid is not raised. He can remain on the floor surface as a footprint. If the substrate and the floor surface of the twisted cuboid are non-slip, the extraction procedure can be easily accomplished with one hand by turning the pressure on the roof surface with the hand. The same applies if on the footprint of a suction device is attached, which fixes the twist cuboid on a smooth surface.

The outline of the outlet opening is pronounced in different forms. The outlines are circular, oval, angular or any combination of these outlines. The outline types determine the appearance of the exit opening for the twisted cuboid content.

In one embodiment, the outlines of the exit opening are rectangular. The outlines of the outlet opening are three directly adjoining outline parts, which are designed as predetermined breaking points. A fourth part of the outline of the outlet opening is not a break point, but a place that allows the opening opening, unfold or unfold the outlet opening. If the contour of the outlet opening is not a square, but a rectangle, then three adjoining contours of the outlet opening are predetermined breaking points, but preferably the shorter contour line part is not a break point, but a tilting point, which is a folding, unfolding or unfolding Outlet opening allows.

Technically, the predetermined breaking points can be designed differently by structural or mechanical or physical measures or appropriate design of the construction elements. At the planned tilting point, an indentation pointing inwards into the twisted cuboid or outwardly is often attached, which supports the unfolding process.

At the planned breaking points often a notch, a scribe or perforation is found, which facilitates the breaking. In all variants of predetermined breaking point characteristics, the tightness and impermeability of these points must be ensured in the original state, for example in the case of perforation of the contour lines by sealing the perforation holes by a thin, easily breakable film or by other suitable materials. The outline of the outlet opening defined as predetermined breaking points must deliberately and predictably fail in order to achieve the opening effect desired here for the outlet opening.

The outlet opening is provided for this purpose in one embodiment with a cover-adhesive film. This cover-adhesive film protrudes beyond the contour lines of the outlet opening, so that the predetermined breaking points are covered with this adhesive film. So that the integrity of the predetermined breaking lines can be recognized, the cover adhesive film is transparent at least in the region of the easily destructible predetermined breaking points. At the Aufklappstelle opposite side of the outline of the outlet opening the cover adhesive film is extended by a non-adhesive, in the form of a nose or tab projecting and thus lifted with the fingers part. By touching this part of the covering film and lifting the entire cover film, the predetermined breaking points are destroyed by the lifting of the adhesive film. The part of the outlet opening outlined by the predetermined breaking lines remains adhered to the adhesive film and unfolds the unfolding position. As a result, the outlet opening is released.

Due to the fact that the outline parts of the outlet opening, which are pronounced as break points, break, it can be seen that the container has already been opened once.

If the removal process is completed, the outlet opening is closed again by folding back and pressing the covering adhesive film, so that drying out of the contents is avoided and the contents are protected against external influences. This embodiment is applicable both to the outlet openings mounted in the roof surface and to the outlet openings provided in the floor surface.

The resealable embodiment of the outlet opening is particularly or preferably used when the ingredient of the twist cuboid has to be dispensed in several subsets and the ingredient must be protected against external influences between the various dispensing operations.

The predetermined breaking point with Aufklapp part pronounced outlet in the bottom or roof of the twisted cuboid fulfills three additional functions in addition to the function as an outlet opening of the container for the ingredient. First, the not yet broken and therefore not open breaking point for the consumer is an indication that the Twist cuboid has not been opened and thus the contents are intact. Furthermore, until the opening of the predetermined breaking point, the twisted cuboid content is protected against external influences. This is particularly important in perishable content, as in sealed against external influences containers, the durability of the contents significantly increased and the penetration of pollutants is prevented. Finally, the predetermined breaking point serves as a simple reclosing device. The unfolded breaking point is folded back and pressed until a click is audible, so that after a removal process, the content is again protected against external influences and dehydration.

If the outlet opening of the twist cuboid is open, then the ingredient can pass outward by rotating pressure onto the roof surface of the twist-cuboid body completely filled with a flowable, pasty, pasty or viscous substance. The pressure to be applied depends, in particular, on the technical data for the stiffness of the material from which the twisted box is made, the flow or spreadability of the ingredient, and the size of the exit orifice.

As soon as the rotary printing ends, the contents still outside the twisted cuboid are withdrawn. This effect is achieved by an appropriate design of the desired bending lines in Combination with the flow or spreadability of the ingredient achieved. In the desired bending lines, the bending lines are designed so that after completion of the rotary pressure on the bottom or roof surface of the twisted cuboid, the entire twisted rectangle "springs back" to one part, so that the rotary motion is partially reversed. The spring-back acting forces of the desired kinks are designed so that any protruding over the outlet opening part of the ingredient that is not removed, is retracted into the twist-cuboid body

If the springback forces of the desired bending lines of the twisted cuboid are no longer sufficient to withdraw the protruding out of the outlet opening content part in the twisted cuboid, then by turning back the roof or bottom surface of not by the restoring forces of the twisted cuboid in the Interior of the twisted cuboid drawn back part of the contents drawn into the body. By turning the twist cuboid, the outlet opens upwards. This supports the process of retracting the overactive ingredient.

When retracting it may happen that when retracting the contents by the springback effect of the desired bending lines in conjunction with flowability or spreadability of the ingredient not only the located in the outlet opening ingredient, but also a small portion of air is sucked with. This is not detrimental to the operation of the twisted cuboid, since the volume content of the twisted cuboid is again reduced by the folding in a renewed removal by applying the rotary pressure.

In a further removal from the twist cuboid escapes or is outwardly either only the ingredient of the twist cuboid or the ingredient of the twisted cuboid along with the previous evacuations in the withdrawal retracted air content or, if the intake air directly in front of the Outlet opening, initially only the air and then the twist-cuboid ingredient through the exit opening from the twisted cuboid. If the intake of air is not directly in front of the outlet opening, this does not prevent the functionality of the twisted cuboid. Since the air contained in the twisted cuboid is not or only slightly compressed in a new emptying process and the twist cuboid reduces the volume of the twisted cuboid as the pressing process continues as a function of the folding process, this becomes another part of the content of the twisted cuboid Be it the ingredient or air squeezed out through the exit port.

The twist-box container is designed so that, in addition to the function "storage of an ingredient" at the same time a squeezing device that achieves comparable effects as the above-mentioned Aufroll-Auspressvorrichtungen, but not by rolling and pressing, but by folding and pressing. Since the container as a twisted cuboid has no tube shape, but a cuboid shape and therefore the tube comparable components such as tube seal, tube head and tube shoulder does not have, can accumulate in these parts no residual amount. The twist cuboid is therefore completely emptied. Additional Auspressvorrichtungen of the type described are not required. The tube contents extraction and squeezing are accomplished simultaneously in one operation.

This is not the case with the usual tube constructions, without the abovementioned tube body squeezing devices. So begins the removal of the contents of a tube so that after opening the outlet opening of the tube by hand, a pressure on the completely filled tube body is exercised. The result is that a certain amount of the tube contents comes out of the opening. Prerequisite for this process step is that the tube is completely filled. In such a state, the maximum volume defined and fixed by the dimensions of the tube is reached. Only then does the reduction in the volume of the tube by hand pressing on the tube body result in a certain amount of ingredient corresponding to the reduced tube volume of the tube also being squeezed out of the tube.

Already at the next pressing with the hand on the tube body, only a lot of the contents of the tube will emerge from the opening again, when the volume of the tube is again reduced by pressing on the tube body. But that is only the case under certain conditions. Experience has shown that the tube contents are only pushed out of the tube again when the maximum volume of the tube body corresponds exactly to the volume of the ingredient still remaining in the tube. If this is the case, then by continuing the pressing on the tube body again a part of the tube contents can be pushed out. This comparable effect is produced in the known prior art retractors for the tube-shell part. According to the invention, this effect is produced by the twist parallelepiped together with the planned folding of the desired bending lines and the rotational pressure exerted on the roof or floor surface, specifically for the entire container.

Without the assistance in removing the contents of the tube by the roll-on ejection device or similar devices, the tube contents are displaced by hand on the tube body in the direction of least resistance during pressing. Since the tube is deformable and only parts of the tube body and not the entire tube body are completely compressed when expressing by hand, the tube contents "migrates" especially in those parts of the tube, which can make room for the tube contents by volume increase and not outwards. The effect is that the tube contents, as in the Aufroll-Auspressvorrichtungen, are pushed back towards the outlet opening of the tube, when the volume of the tube body coincides with the volume of content and thus a further removal of the tube contents by pressing with the hand on the tube body the tube opening takes place.

A wandering of the twist-cuboid content as described for the tubes can not occur in the twisted cuboid since, in parallel with the compression process, the volume of the then twisted cuboid cuboid is reduced by pressing out the twisted cuboid content. The twist cuboid volume then always corresponds to the volume of the ingredient located inside, be it ingredient alone or with an air content. Due to the rigidity of the roof and floor surfaces and the rigidity of the partial sidewalls of the twisted cuboid limited by predetermined bending lines, an increase in the volume content of the twisted cuboid body is prevented. A "migration" of the ingredient while increasing the volume of the container is therefore not possible.

A in the bottom or the roof of the twisted cuboid as a predetermined breaking point or as a break-Aufklappstelle arranged outlet opening through which the ingredient located in the interior of the twisted cuboid can emerge from the twisted cuboid, is preferably in the middle of the roof or Floor surface attached. With this arrangement, the discharge port is located directly in front of the opening narrowing with each rotation-printing operation, which is formed by the folding of the twist cuboid.

Thus, own tests of these companies for the technical design of Auspressvorrichtungen for the twisted cuboid are largely unnecessary.

In a previously mentioned first embodiment of the cuboid is formed as a cube. The cube shape allows a simple, diagonal, desired crease line arrangement on the side surfaces.

In order to cancel the shape limitation to a twisted cuboid in the form of a cube as a special form of a cuboid and also to realize other dimensions, the twisted cuboid is in this case made up of a plurality of equally large, edge-exactly stacked and interconnected Composed of (partial) twist cuboids of the type described. The roof and floor surfaces of the touching roof or floor surface of the newly formed, composite Twist cuboid omitted. The edges of the superimposed and touching roof and floor surfaces are designed as a common desired bending line. The attached on the side surfaces diagonal predetermined bending lines remain.

In a preferred first embodiment of this kind, which eliminates the shape limitation of the cube, the dimensions of the stacked part-twist cuboids are identical and stacked on each other so that the edges of the floor and roof surfaces lie on one another. The roof and floor areas, not the roof or floor area of the newly formed composite twisted cuboid are omitted. The edges of the falling floor and roof surfaces are merged into a single, merged, horizontal desired bending line. Thus, even with a composite twisted cuboid, which does not have the cube shape limitation as a whole, the properties according to the invention are realized. However, each of the stacked part-twist cuboids is considered to have the dimensions of a cube.

In a further embodiment according to the invention of stacked twisted cubes, the cubes with different edge lengths are stacked one above the other. In this case, starting from the lowest standing cube, the cube above then has a smaller edge length. The turn above cubes in turn has a smaller edge length. This creates a stepped upwardly tapering cuboid construction.

In a first embodiment of the stacked cubes with different, decreasing edge lengths, the cubes are centered and stacked one above the other so that the edges of all stacked part-twist cuboids parallel to each other. Ie. the center of the bottom surface of the cube with a smaller edge length stacked on a cube with a larger edge length is located exactly above the center of the roof surface of the sub-cube arranged underneath. Where the roof surface of the respectively below twisted cuboid contacts the bottom surface of the overlying twisted cuboid, the bottom surface of the overlying twisted cuboid and roof surface of the underlying twisted cuboid are removed in the size of the bottom surface of the smaller twisted cuboid. The contact edges of the below twist cuboid and the touch edges of the overlying twist cuboid are joined and executed as desired crease lines. The diagonal predetermined bending lines on the side surfaces of the stacked part-twist cuboid remain.

The result is a kind of twist-cuboid pyramid, which preserves the functionality of the basic Twist cuboid. By rotating pressure on the roof surface of the uppermost part-twist cuboid, the twisted-pyramid pyramid is folded gradually starting from the overhead part-twist cuboid and thereby the contents of the twist-cuboid pyramid from the as predetermined breaking and Aufklapp-site pronounced exit opening pushed out. Even with the twisted cuboid pyramid, the ingredient protruding out of the opening is pulled back into the twisted pyramid by turning back the roof surface, if the return effect caused by the rebounding desired bend lines is insufficient to recover the ingredient protruding from the outlet opening.

In a further embodiment of the stacked cubes with different edge lengths, the cubes are centered and stacked one above the other so that the edges of all stacked part-twist cuboids do not run parallel to each other. The center of the bottom surface of the cube with a smaller edge length stacked on a cube with a larger edge length is again located exactly above the center of the roof surface of the cube below it. Where the roof surface of the respectively below twisted cuboid contacts the bottom surface of the overlying twisted cuboid, the bottom surface of the overlying twisted cuboid and roof surface of the underlying twisted cuboid are removed in the size of the smaller twisted cuboid. The contact edges of the below twist cuboid and the contact edges of the overlying twist cuboid are joined and executed as common desired crease lines. The diagonal predetermined bending lines on the side surfaces of the stacked part-twist cuboid remain.

In a third embodiment of the stacked cubes with different edge lengths, the cubes are not centered and stacked one above the other so that the edges of all stacked part-twist cuboids parallel to each other and the corners of all part-twist cubes come to lie exactly on top of each other. Where the roof surface of the respectively below twisted cuboid touches and covers the bottom surface of the overlying partial twisted cuboid, the bottom surface of the overlying partial twisted cuboid and roof surface of the underlying partial twisted cuboid become smaller in size removed from the smaller part-twist cuboid. The contact edges of the below twist cuboid and the touch edges of the overlying twist cuboid are joined and executed as desired crease lines. The diagonal predetermined bending lines on the side surfaces of the stacked part-twist cuboid remain.

In all embodiments of the stacked part-twist cuboid designed as a predetermined break Aufklappstelle outlet opening is mounted either in the bottom or the roof surface of the resulting stacked and interconnected part-twist cuboids structure.

• - Kantenlänge gleich, zu oder abnehmend,
• - Kanten parallel verlaufend oder nicht parallel verlaufend,
• - Boden- und Dachflächen zentriert oder nicht zentriert übereinander angeordnet.

In addition to the embodiments mentioned here are any combinations of the above Features in the construction of stacked twisted cuboids possible:

• - edge length equal, to or decreasing,
• Edges parallel or not parallel,
• - Floor and roof areas centered or not centered one above the other.

Twist-square-composite

In a further preferred embodiment, the twisted cuboids are equipped at the roof and / or bottom edges with device parts, which bring about side by side, one above the other and / or behind one another Asked Twist cuboids at the touching Twist-cuboid edges again easily releasably stick to each other. In this way, twisted-cuboid composite systems can be formed, which include a certain number of twisted cuboids. This composite system option offers advantages in the combination of containers for transport, delivery and sales units. Even when setting up the twisted cuboids on store shelves, the individual twisted cuboids do not fall on the sales shelves due to the mutual support of the twisted cuboids when they are arranged in a composite as described.

The traps of the Twist blocks are designed so that the Twist blocks adhere to each other, but can also be easily detached from each other again. This may be an edge-sticking, non-sticky adhesive layer that allows for easy re-release. But this can also be correspondingly easily detachable, narrow attached to the edges Velcro-like devices.

Method for using Twist blocks

When using a container filled with a flowable, pasty, pasty or viscous ingredient completely filled in the manner of the described in the claims 1 to 5 containers in the form of twisted cubes depending on the attachment of the outlet opening in the roof or in the bottom of the twist Baser basically distinguish two different manual methods, with certain process steps are identical.

According to the invention, two fundamentally different types of outlet openings and closures are provided. In the simpler version, the exit opening is a discharge opening designed as a predetermined breaking point with a circular, oval, angular or any combination of these outline forms in the roof or floor area, which opens when a certain rotational pressure is exerted on the twisted cuboid.

According to the invention, an embodiment variant is a resealable outlet opening. If this outlet opening is mounted in the bottom of the twisted cuboid, the first method step is such that the outlet opening is checked for integrity. For this it is necessary that the Twist cuboid is previously raised by hand so that you can look at the bottom of the Twist cuboid.

When the floor is visible, the view of the cover adhesive film, which overlaps the exit opening, is released. This adhesive film is made transparent to the extent that at least the region of the outline of the outlet opening, which is designed as a predetermined breaking and Aufklappstelle, is clearly visible. If the predetermined breaking point is damaged before the first use, then it is certain that the container was opened before the first use.

If the outlet opening is mounted in the roof of the twisted cuboid, the integrity of the predetermined breaking point can be checked immediately.

If the predetermined breaking point is intact, the opening of the outlet cuboid can be continued. The opening is done by lifting the designated nose-shaped, non-adhesive part of the cover adhesive film. In this case, the predetermined breaking outline of the outlet opening is destroyed. The roof or floor portion of the exit opening remains adhered to the cover adhesive film and by further lifting the cover adhesive film, the exit opening is opened and the opening for the removal of the ingredient released.

If the outlet opening is located in the roof of the Twist cuboid, the integrity of the break line can be checked immediately. Preferably, in this variant, the bottom of the twisted cuboid is non-slip or designed by an intake device, so that immediately after opening the outlet opening of the removal process can start by rotating the roof surface and is prevented by the skid resistance or by the suction on a smooth floor, that the ground changes its position.

The invention is described in greater detail below with reference to drawings:

• 1 shows a block network 1 that the side surfaces 7 , the roof- 5 and the floor area 6 a cube cuboid 2 shown. On the side surfaces 7 are diagonally from an upper corner of the side surfaces to the lower opposite corner of the side surface desired crease lines 10 appropriate.
• 2 shows a cube cuboid coming out of the cuboid mesh 1 by erecting the side walls 7 and kinking the roof surface 5 and air-tight sealing of the abutting edges 8th With prior art methods, a twisted cuboid is formed, with all edges as desired crease lines 8th are formed and in addition on all side surfaces of each of the same upper corner diagonally in the lower corner of desired bending lines 10 run. In the bottom is - not visible here - the outlet with predetermined breaking point 12 and designed as a resealable outlet opening target Aufklapp site 13 appropriate.
• 3 represents a block network of a multiply stacked twist cuboid cube 3 with special features. In order to overcome the shape and dimensions of a cube, twisted cuboids are used 2 stacked. The roof area 5 of the below partial twist cuboid 2 and the floor area 6 the overlying part-twist cuboid 2 are removed. The contact edges of these surfaces are considered to be a combined single target crease line 11 educated. The diagonal desired bending lines 10 stay there. The multi-cube Twist cuboid 3 arises from the block network 3 by straightening and kinking the individual sidewall pairs 7 each 90 degrees and kinking of the roof and floor area 5 . 6 90 degrees and air impermeable closing of all abutting edges 8th the sidewall pairs 7 to a single desired crease line and the edges 8th the roof and floor area 5 . 6 with methods according to the prior art. All edges 8th and the diagonal lines 10 are executed as nominal bending lines. In the bottom is - not visible here - the outlet opening as a predetermined breaking Aufklapp site 12 . 13 . 14 appropriate.
• 4 shows a perspective view of a multi-cube Twist cuboid 3 , The outlet openings 12 . 13 are not shown here because they are installed in the ground. In 8th the details are shown. Stacked on top of each other by twist-cuboid-single cubes 2 , remove the overlapping roof 5 and floor surfaces 6 and connect the individual cubes by predetermined breaking lines 11 The result is a twisted cuboid that overcomes the limitations of the dimensions of a single twisted cuboid single cube. In the bottom is - not visible here - the outlet opening as a predetermined breaking Aufklapp site 12 . 13 . 14 appropriate..
• 5 shows the perspective view of a twist cuboid - single cube 2 in which the roof wall 5 is rotated to a certain extent and the Twist cuboid thereby partially folds. As a result, a portion of the twist-cuboid content is pushed out of the exit opening (not shown here), which corresponds to the reduced volume part of the twisted cuboid.
• 6 shows the perspective view of a twisted cuboid 3 which is composed of two part-twist cuboid and in which the roof wall 5 is rotated to a certain extent and the twisted cuboid 3 This partially folds up. As a result, a portion of the twist-cuboid content is pushed out of the bottom-mounted, open outlet opening (not shown here). The volume change of the twisted cuboid corresponds to the volume of the pressed-out content.
• In 7 shows the perspective view of a twist cuboid - single cube 2 in which the outlet opening in the roof wall 5 is appropriate. In this example, the cover adhesive film is 14 completely transparent. According to the invention, it is important that the cover adhesive film forms the part of the outline designed as a predetermined breaking point 12 the outlet is not obscured, because then can not be checked before the first use, whether the outline is intact. Except for the grasping nose on the cover adhesive film 15 this is sticky. The adhesive part of the cover foil 17 sticks so tightly that when lifting the grasping nose of designed as a predetermined breaking point outline part of the outlet opening 12 is raised with and thereby the predetermined breaking outline of the outlet opening is destroyed. The not designed as a predetermined breaking point part of the outline of the outlet opening 13 is designed so that when lifting the cover adhesive film, this part of the outline of the outlet opening is not destroyed, but only unfolds.
• 8th shows a partial section of a twisted cuboid. Here are more details of the outlet 18 shown. The outlet opening 18 is either on the roof surface 5 or in the floor area 6 appropriate. The outlet opening 18 is raised in part and so far that the breaking point contour of the outlet opening 12 together with the cover adhesive film 16 is raised and thereby the breaking point 12 is destroyed and the outlet for the ingredient is released. Immediately following the breaking point contour, the opening part of the outline 13 is located in the middle and in the bottom of a depression 20 appropriate. In this depression fits an in the cover-adhesive film immediately before the non-adhesive Anfass-nose located increase 19 (not visible in drawing). The dimensions of the increase 19 and the depression 20 are designed so that when pressing the lifted cover adhesive film 14 to close the outlet opening a click-sound is heard. This clicking sound indicates that the outlet 18 the twisted cuboid is closed again.
