Abstract

The invention relates to a tube for storing and dispensing viscous to pasty products, said tube comprising a tube shoulder (16), an extraction tube (17), and a tube jacket (13). Once the tube has been filled with a product to be dispensed, it is sub-divided by means of a piston (4) comprising a separating strip (10) and a handle (11), and can be moved axially in the direction of the tube. Once the piston has been introduced into the tube, the lower edge region of the piston is connected to the corresponding tube jacket in an airtight and annular manner, for example by means of ultrasound. The disassembly of the piston is carried out by destroying pre-defined separating channels (9), removing a separating strip (10), in such a way as to ensure that the piston moves inside the tube in order to empty the same.

Description

Technical area:

The Invention relates to tube, dosing dispenser, container or the like, from Plastic, composite or metal and in any Cross-section produced, the / later after a machine fill with donation and closing, Also suitable for storage, according to claim 1 to 3, and Process for their machinel filling and closure according to claim 16 to 18, as well as methods of removal, in particular the donation residues according to claim 19 and 20.

At the Prior art find several container types such as tubes, containers, dispensers or such as packaging for example for creams, toothpaste, cosmetics, Hair color, household chemistry or the like, application.

is as a tube packaging from a tube shoulder with sampling tube and a tube jacket which is airtight connected to the tube shoulder is provided, it is always a satisfactory problem Spendengutreste removal at the maximum donation goods whereabouts is reduced to two percent, even when applied of aids. Furthermore, today's complete tubes are often material-consuming, especially when a closure cap to the contours of a tube shoulder followed and at the same time should be kept standing on her, which she overpriced and environmentally unfriendly as packaging makes it a disadvantage is.

is as packaging a dispenser, the at least one housing and a displaceably arranged in it piston, wherein the Displacement of the piston by tightening and releasing a dosing dispenser head is provided, the donation is usually much more liquid than should be a movement of the piston, even after a designated To guarantee storage time, which is to be classified as a disadvantage, for example a liquid Toothpaste can only have a limited effect.

is as packaging a container provided, for example, prepared in the hair color mixture and out of it on the hair is to apply by means of a cannula, it is mostly problematic to get out the remains of the urine to use them expediently, which is also classified as a disadvantage of the tube.

Technical task:

In contrast, lies The present invention is based on the object, such Tube, dosing dispenser or container to develop in which at least a portion of the above-mentioned disadvantages are resolved becomes. Another object of the invention is such a method for bottling and closing one tube according to the invention, a metering dispenser or a container suggest that a bottling plant as little as possible to be changed and a process that has a much improved, in particular Spendengutreste withdrawal from a tube according to the invention or a container can be offered.

Disclosure of the invention as well as their advantages:

These Task is with a tube, a dispenser or a container of The aforementioned type inventively achieved in that after filling with a donation, this by means of a piston, the latest in the case of a collection of donation remnants from these, into a permanent one fixed circumference, a separating strip with handle and an axial movable piston section must be dissected, airtight close in which, after its expedient introduction into this, its lower edge area with a corresponding one with it Tube jacket, dispenser housing or container housing permanently and airtight, for example, to connect by means of ultrasound, whereby its dissection by destroying target separation channels to realize is, this being done by removing the separation strip in the to pull so strongly on a handle permanently attached to it is that destruction the desired separation channels he follows.

Another object is achieved according to the invention in a tube or a container of the abovementioned type, that by means of the removal of the separating strip, which must take place at the latest at Spendengutreste removal, is carried out so that the piston portion axially in an open tube or an open container, can be displaced in the direction of a removal opening, thereby ablating on the inner wall of this adhesive Spendengutreste means its stripping lip or edge and displaced in the interior, wherein the displacement process of the piston is no later than cancel out of the removal opening the Spendengutreste or if the desired portion was removed. Now, a tube or container can be closed as usual by means of a cap associated with it, wherein the tube or the container must be removed again for removal of the donation be opened and either on a portion of its elastically deformable tube shell or its elastically deformable container wall, which is located between a sampling tube and a piston according to the invention, a pressure to be exerted, or the piston are displaced in each case expediently by a predetermined section, wherein if by a pressure on the tube jacket or container wall no longer Spendengutreste emerge, the piston must be moved further in the direction of the removal opening, which is to be carried out until the piston is no longer displaced in the direction of removal opening, and only now is a tube or container emptied maximally.

Further Object of this invention is in a dispenser of the initially mentioned genus according to the invention thereby solved, that the removal of the separating strip and thus the release of a Piston section must be made directly before his arrival, if the negative effects of storage, especially dehydration of the donated goods should be prevented and its first-take guarantee, even after removal of the protective film, detect what is going through an inventive, airtight and firm connection of the lower edge region of a piston portion with its inner wall is guaranteed as long as the separating strip is not sufficiently removed to give the piston its axial freedom of movement to give, with its connection, in particular with the inner wall a dispenser housing, so strong that by tensing and releasing his Dosierspenderkopfes and the vacuum generated thereby, no separation the fixed connection or the desired separation channels may take place.

In order to design a tube according to the invention described in point "a", the following changes according to the invention are necessary, for example:

• - The tube shoulder together with a sampling tube is flat and so elastic to make that in the donation residue removal of the floating piston section comes as close as possible to them ran, and their scope may be inventively smaller than the inner circumference of a tube jacket with which they is to be connected airtight, and the remaining circumference of the tube shell is to be sealed by means of a fold or the like;
• - A tube occluding the piston is round, oval or square shape, at least its permanently attached peripheral portion must be adapted to the inner circumference of the tube jacket so that their airtight and permanent connection, for example by means of ultrasound guaranteed, while the freely movable piston section a desired removal of the donation residues from the inner wall of a tube sheath guaranteed;
• - The tube shoulder together with a sampling tube can be arranged in the longitudinal axis of the tube, can be arranged in the center or can be arranged in a corner of the tube;
• - The positioning of the tube for filling in a bottling plant by means of her narrow shoulder directed downwards, optionally together with a cap;
• - The filling of the tube takes place over its largest cross-section, which is not to be closed for closing, but with a, in particular adapted to the cross section piston is to be closed;
• If the tube according to the invention is to be stored standing on its last closed region of a tube envelope, or of this and the permanently attached circumferential section, its inscription must be adapted accordingly if its overall picture should be changed as little as possible;
• - The area of the tube shell or this and the permanently attached peripheral portion can be formed curved according to the invention, for example, on its entire circumference or only on its part and thus present much more decorative than in the prior art;
• - The dispensing material removal takes place at the flatter end of a tube.

The Arrangement of a flat tube shoulder area on a tube jacket must be done so that the label of the tube sheath in this Position is at least as well readable as in current tubes, wherein according to the invention, the tube shoulder including a simple sampling tube or a collection tube to form a striped strand, symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of a tube, or asymmetrical and over whole Width of a fold, or just over its part spreading out, arranged, taking its typical wedge-shaped design which breaks them down into a front and a back area, at least as clearly as in the prior art remains recognizable.

Also according to the invention such a form of a tube shoulder provided, in the extreme case to a simple collection tube or a collection tube by means of which it is possible to form a striped donor web strand, which is fastened directly to a tube jacket, which is especially recommended if a cap is smaller as the entire width of a squeezed together, usual Tube jacket is, and it is important that their attachment sufficient is dense and firm shape and that the thread running on a sampling tube so on the thread of a co-operating with him cap must be adapted to that in their sealing end position, the Contours of the tube connects, if the tube as far as possible be similar to a comparable tube from the prior art should, and that independent of it, whether the length the cap corresponds at least to the length of the tube shoulder, or whether the length the cap is smaller than the length of the tube shoulder and this is integrated and, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical to the longitudinal axis the tube is arranged.

In a further embodiment of the invention, if later taken from the tube a strip of donated Gutstrang should be, is the piston according to the invention with an escape cavity to provide, in the rear protruding end of the sampling tube execution the allows the formation of such stripes, especially in the last phase of donation residue collection, can curse, with its size to the Dimensions of the projecting into the interior of a tube strip collection tube so far that are a desired Donation residue collection (maximum 2 percent remaining) to guarantee is what, in addition, if necessary, also by adjusting the elasticity of the tube shoulder even further supported can be.

First is a tube by means of a customized cap close tightly and with this wedge-shaped Insert end down into a nest of a customized plant and fix and then as in the prior art with the donation to fill with the difference that the achieved filling level of the donated goods in Maintained as the tube jacket is no longer, as in the prior art, flattened is merged, which is an important Feature of the invention is because of the now required white space Minimum can be reduced. Now there is a closure of the invention Tube in its widest range by introducing a piston according to the invention which must have at least one arbitrary ventilation channel, and he is only so far in the tube coat to introduce that no pollution the inner wall of the tube shell or its cylindrical surface, at least in the area of his lower, later connectable extent occurs.

Now, or at the latest after closing its venting channel, the connectable circumference of the piston must be all around and on a width of Minimum 1 mm and without touching the lower target separating channel, by means of at least one permanent connection, for example by means of Ultrasound is to be realized, with the inner wall of a tube be connected permanently and airtight.

Should According to the invention, a leaflet be accommodated in the piston chamber, the adaptation of its rebate width to the height take place in the receiving space, its introduction can be rolled up in a or collapsed state, which, for example, by means of a packaging plant in the piston chamber by means of, for example, a Einführzange is appropriate to introduce.

Consequently For example, the shape of a tube according to the invention can be adapted to one of the prior art The technique known tube shape are largely adapted in the it has a round, oval or angular end and of this starting from a wedge-shaped end, being a sampling tube including a more or less elastically deformable tube shoulder or without it, permanently attached to this wedge-shaped end is, wherein the shape of the cap, as needed, to the wedge-shaped end adapt or not, being consumed in any case the production of the cap much less material and energy as in the prior art when a tube is stored upright should be.

Another advantage of the tube according to the invention is that it can be emptied regardless of the form of their storage, lying or standing, always up to a remainder of a maximum of 2% of the donated goods, in which the first firm and airtight ver Ankerter piston, by separating a separating strip, is axially displaceable and that it is to be shaped so that during its displacement in the direction of the removal opening the Spendengutreste stripped and transported in their direction.

Further inventive solution of Aufgebe the invention is without the outer image of a complete To change dispensers that negative effects of its longer Storage, in particular dehydration of the donated in the area a piston can be largely prevented and its Erstentnahme guarantee, even after removal of the protective film, immediately recognizable, though the piston is considered.

Just by a targeted removal of the separating strip of the piston may a Dosierspenders obtain its axial freedom of movement, wherein the permanently attached peripheral portion remains on the dosing dispenser which is an important feature of the invention.

additional important feature of the invention is that a tube according to the invention by means of a Kiappscharnier-closure or by another any cap, is closable in its wedge-shaped area, to integrate these outlines tube according to the invention so is that a habitual Overall picture of a tube, especially for branded products, remains almost unchanged, however, all or only part of the above advantages of the invention is being used.

The so designed, inventive tube is so far to a known from the prior art comparable Tube optically adaptable, that it looks almost the same, the so increased distance the removal opening caused by a tube shoulder which is shaped flat at least at one point, that pollution can be minimized and at the same time the material consumption for both Tube shoulder as well as a shape-adapted cap, independently whether it is a hinged hinge closure or an attachable Closure is less than in the prior art, wherein the Material consumption for the piston maximum in the weight of one of the prior art known tube shoulder is located.

When Result of this change according to the invention the tube is an improved donation residue collection, by a at the end of the donation material removal activatable, axially freely movable Guaranteed piston and a fail-safe leaflet space formed These advantages are independent of whether a tube was stored standing or lying and how thick the Donation is.

additional important feature of the invention is that after a displacement the piston, for example, to about the middle of the tube, the behind him existing, from this moment superfluous tube coat section can be cut off by means of, for example, a pair of scissors, and thus the further displacement of the piston, for example by means of a Forefinger can be done, which is an important feature of this invention is.

Farther can in any tube according to the invention a folded leaflet, in a designated Cavity which can be formed in a piston according to the invention, permanently and fail-safe housed Further, inventive solution of Task provides that by a small change of the external picture a container, in which its soil becomes a simple and airtight as described above attached piston is redesigned, on the one hand one from the State of the art known and safe accommodation and storage guaranteed a donation, with simultaneous described above and improved donor debris collection and secure housing a leaflet, possible and cost-effective feasible.

Consequently is possible according to the invention a tube to create in their overall appearance quite a bit of one differs from the prior art tube differs but a more cost effective, improved, less the tube shoulder polluting Donor collection from her flat end while the whole application allows and finally, the piston can be separated by means of the separation strip, axially in the direction of a removal opening, Collecting donations will be collected, and this until they stop has to be done, and the more elastic the tube shoulder according to the invention is designed, the greater donor gum exploitation.

Also any other, arbitrary combination of the above individual Features among themselves subject to the protection of the invention and is important component, independent whether it concerns a tube, a dispenser or a container.

Based the attached Drawings the most preferred embodiments of the invention but not limiting the invention will now be described in more detail.

Ways to carry out the invention, wherein in the description the same or corresponding parts are designated by identical reference numerals:
1 shows a filled, complete tube according to the invention ( 1 ) together with the information leaflet ( 25 ) in longitudinal section, wherein the inventive, firmly anchored piston ( 4 ) is also clearly visible. Also the constituents of the piston ( 4 ) like: the two target separation channels ( 9 ) between which the dense but peelable attached separating strips ( 10 ) with handle ( 11 ) is, the lower edge region of the piston ( 5 ) permanently connected by means of a fixed connection ( 8th ) fixed volume ( 6 ) and the leaflet space ( 23 ), are clearly visible. For a later, improved removal of the donation residues from the inner wall of the tube ( 7 ) is in this example a wiping lip ( 15 ) intended. The tube shoulder ( 16 ) has in this example an elongated shape, which is always to be chosen so that on the one hand a material-saving, but subsequent to the shape of the tube tip design of a cap ( 18 ) is given, on the other hand, the elastic deformation of the tube shoulder ( 16 ) at the Spendengutresten emptying as far as desired, since this has a direct influence on the degree of emptying, that is, the more elastically deformable the tube shoulder ( 16 ), the closer a freely movable piston section ( 27 ), especially in the case of the collection of the most donor material, and the better degree of emptying of such a tube ( 1 ) is achieved. Here it must be ensured that the height of the recording room ( 23 ) for a folded leaflet (H _MIN .) must always be greater than the height of the folded leaflet (H _BEIP .). According to the invention, however, care must be taken to ensure that the minimum height (T) of the freely movable piston section is always present, even if a folded leaflet ( 25 ) would allow a smaller height (H _MIN. ), otherwise can be to its tilting in displacement in the interior of a tube ( 20 ), but this is always to be avoided, whereby here is also provided that a handle on the separating strip ( 11 ) also serves as a fixing element of the leaflet, but this is not always absolutely necessary, but this is an important feature times the invention. In this example, the sample tube ( 17 ) in the longitudinal axis of the tube ( 34 ), but this is not absolutely necessary, in which case the maximum length of the closure cap ( 18 ), which adjoins the usual outlines of a tube known from the prior art is recognizable, wherein in her, not shown here side view, the tube widens symmetrically upwards, so that their well-known division into a front and a rear area also can be maintained.

The 2 shows an inventive, filled, complete tube in the 1 has been described in detail, with the difference that there is no leaflet ( 25 ) is accommodated and thus the minimum height (T) of the later freely movable portion of the piston ( 27 ), in the piston ( 4 ) and in dependence on the inner diameter of the latter, it is to be determined that its tilting during the displacement inside the tube ( 20 ) is always excluded, regardless of whether the piston ( 27 ) with a finger or a hip device such as a sliding element ( 32 ) is moved axially.

3 shows one from the 2 known, inventive and filled tube ( 1 ), but without cap ( 18 ), the top view from direction "A" on the tube shoulder ( 16 ), in longitudinal section.

In the 4 is an enlarged section of the 3 in which the, in particular parallel, nominal separation channels ( 9 ), between which the separating strip ( 10 ) must always be arranged, are clearly recognizable, the shape and cross sections of the desired separation channels ( 9 ), as well as their course can be arbitrary. The important thing is that after removal of the separating strip ( 10 ), the so far firmly anchored, movable piston section ( 27 ) for an axial displacement in the interior of a tube ( 20 ), release.

The 5 shows a plan view from direction "A" on the tube from the 3 clearly recognizing that each half of the tube shoulder ( 16 ) is wedge-shaped and flatter than the tube jacket ( 12 ) at its other end. It is just an example of a form of a tube shoulder ( 16 ), which does not restrict these.

In the 6 is a conventionally evacuated tube of donation debris that is normally thrown away. By means of a piston according to the invention ( 4 ) and a method according to the invention, the donation residues ( 24 ) still be taken, what the 7 represents. Here was the separating strip ( 10 ) by means of a handle ( 11 ) from the piston ( 4 ), and thus the piston ( 4 ) in an axially movable piston portion ( 27 ) and a permanently attached perimeter ( 6 ) decomposed. It is important that the axially movable piston section ( 27 ) has at least a minimum height (T) at its entire circumference, which is to be determined in the interior of a tube ( 1 ) or a container ( 3 ) can not tilt (snag) during its movement and thus guarantees its smooth movement.

8th and 8a shows an example of a parallel-shaped separating strip ( 10 ) with handle ( 11 ), which is always between two desired separation channels ( 9 ), firmly and inseparably with the separating strip ( 10 ) must be connected. The outer edges of the separating strips ( 10 ) can according to the invention have an arbitrary course, but always, depending on the plastic, to be determined so that it can be pulled off so far that the piston section formed thereby ( 27 ) is axially movable, the different shapes of the two handles ( 11 ) not limit this invention, but allow any form.

In the 9 , which is mainly the 7 corresponds, the piston section ( 27 ) prepared to be displaced axially in the direction of the removal opening (arrow direction) manually or by means of ^an auxiliary, and during the relocation the donation residues ( 24 ) ^from the inner wall ( 7 ) and further in the direction of the removal opening ( 19 ) to transport.

In the 10 is the one from the 9 known tube with an almost to the end displaced piston section ( 27 ), this displacement is woken up by means of an aid ( 32 ) was realized, since the now excess section of the tube sheath ( 12 ) behind the piston section ( 27 ) was not separated and thus its displacement would be problematic with, for example, an index finger. Will the excess section ( 35 ) but, after previous removal of Spendengutreste separated from him, which is also an important feature of this invention, one can on any auxiliary elements ( 32 ), such as a handle of a hairbrush, etc., dispense, since the piston section displacement can be done by means of, for example, pointer fingers.

11 shows an example of a tube shoulder ( 16 ), except for a sampling tube ( 17 ), wherein the remaining area of the tube shell by means of a fold ( 21 ) is tightly and permanently connected. Again, a stepless transition from the upper, flat and substantially wedge-shaped end of the tube in the lower, circular shaped end of the tube sheath ( 12 ), recognizable.

The 12 is with the 11 comparable, with the difference that the sampling tube ( 17 ) off-center, on the edge of the tube mantle ( 12 ) is attached.

In the 13 is a side view with partial section on the 12 from the direction "B", which in particular clearly shows that the fold ( 21 ) tightly and completely on a sample tube ( 17 ) is formed. At the same time, it is important that this area is designed to be so elastic that when a donation material is removed, a movable piston section (FIG. 27 ) as close as possible to the interior of the sample tube ( 17 ) arrives and thus the maximum amount of Spendengutreste can be removed. Since in the arrangement of a sampling tube ( 17 ) in the corner of a tube rebate is impossible that the piston section ( 27 ) the sampling tube ( 17 ) is reached, it is recommended that this arrangement should rather take place for tubes with a diameter of up to 30 mm.

14 shows a longitudinal section through a tube ( 1 ) used to form a striped donor material strand ( 30 ) is provided in which their sampling tube ( 31 ) protrudes to the rear and is provided with openings, over which the very front mounted colorful donation ( 29 ) is integrated into a main strand as a strip, when in the tubeinneren the pressure is increased so far that the donor material emerges and a striped strand ( 30 ), in which embodiment the piston section ( 27 ) an escape cavity ( 28 ) whose internal dimensions to the dimensions of the sample tube to form a striped Spendengutstranges ( 31 ) are adapted so that a predetermined, desired degree of emptying the tube ( 1 ) is always guaranteed.

besteht, wobei der Innenraum des Kolbens (4) auch als ein Aufnahmeraum für andere Zwecke als für einen zusammengefalteten Beipackzettel (25) genutzt werden kann.The 15 shows an unopened dosing dispenser ( 2 ) in side view, with partial cutout in the bottom area, which by means of a piston according to the invention ( 4 ) is closed. Again, it is clearly visible that the piston ( 4 ) out:

• - a lower edge area ( 5 ), which on one circumference ( 6 ) permanently with the dosing dispenser housing ( 13 ) by means of an airtight connection ( 8th ), and
• From a separating strip ( 10 ) with a handle ( 11 ), which is between two desired separation channels ( 9 ) always has to be arranged, and
• From a movable piston section ( 27 ) and
• From an instruction leaflet space ( 23 )

exists, wherein the interior of the piston ( 4 ) as a receiving space for purposes other than a folded leaflet ( 25 ) can be used.

16 shows a part of the 15 , in which a differently shaped bottom portion of a dosing dispenser is shown, which is also content of the invention, since the shape of a piston according to the invention ( 4 ), in particular its lower edge region ( 5 ), always in the form of a housing ( 13 ) or a coat ( 12 ) or a container ( 14 ) is to be adjusted.

17 shows a one-piece container ( 3 ) in longitudinal section, by means of an inventive, axially movable piston portion ( 27 ) collected in front at the front, whereby its axial movement by means of an aid ( 32 ), at least in its last phase is to force. The tool ( 32 ) is to be chosen so that its contact surface with the piston portion ( 27 ) should be at least about half of the piston section diameter.

In the 18 is another version of an empty tube ( 1 ), here with a wave-shaped floor area ( 33 ), which is also an important feature of the invention. Contents of this invention are also all other, arbitrary design forms of the bottom portion of a tube ( 33 ), which can serve their embellishment and at the same time make the products distinguishable at first glance.

19 shows a side view on the from the 18 known tube ( 1 ), where in particular the wedge-shaped course of the tube sheath ( 12 ) from top to bottom and its shape, cylindrically shaped in the lower part, are clearly visible, practically following the contours of comparable tubes known from the prior art. In order to complete this adjustment, it is important that a cap covering this tube must fit the outline, that is, in this example, it must also be wedge-shaped.

Industrial Applicability:

Of the The invention is particularly in the packaging industry, for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly packaging of all the items that are up to now in tubes, dosing dispensers or containers offered and their emptying is not satisfactory, industrially applicable, since, for example, in tubes, up to 20% of the net contents are not taken by recommended expressions. Furthermore, the storage time of a dosing dispenser can be significantly extended, if this remains hermetically sealed until the first removal. Also his Erstentnahme guarantee can be shown much more clearly be, because only after the removal of a separation strip, is one Donation goods withdrawal from it possible. The stability The inventively designed inventions is at least as large as the the known from the prior art, comparable products.
