Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Kunststoffbehälter mit Deckel, der einen mit ihm verbundenen, in den Kunststoffbehälter hineinragenden, zweiten Behälter mit Deckel aufweist, wobei beide Deckel jeweils einen Verschlussteil aufweisen, der ebenfalls aus Kunststoff hergestellte zweite Behälter einstückig mit dem Deckel gespritzt ist und der Verschlussteil des Deckels des grossen Behälters eine um das verdickte Ende der Behälterwand reichende äussere Wand mit umlaufenden Nocken und eine Innenwand aufweist. Ein solcher Behälter ist aus der US-A-2 766 796 bekannt, wobei es sich in der Ausführungsbeschreibung um einen luftdicht abzuschliessenden Trinkbecher handelt, in dessen Deckel beispielsweise Medikamente aufbewahrt werden können.The present invention relates to a plastic container with a lid, which has a second container with a lid connected to it, protruding into the plastic container, both lids each having a closure part, the second container also made of plastic being injection-molded in one piece with the lid and the closure part of the lid of the large container has an outer wall extending around the thickened end of the container wall with circumferential cams and an inner wall. Such a container is known from US-A-2 766 796, the embodiment description being an airtight drinking cup, the lid of which can be used, for example, to store medication.

Hingegen sind für den Transport von im Maler-und Baugewerbe verwendeten Materialen wie beispielsweise Farben und Verputz, die erst an Ort und Stelle vermischt werden, wobei die Komponenten in der Regel verschiedene Volumina aufweisen, besonders bei Materialen mit einem Härter, weitaus grössere und stabilere Behälter notwendig, wobei in diesem Falle die Transportsicherung eine grosse Rolle spielt.On the other hand, for the transport of materials used in the painting and construction industry, such as paints and plaster, which are only mixed on the spot, the components generally having different volumes, particularly in the case of materials with a hardener, far larger and more stable containers necessary, in which case the transport lock plays a major role.

Es ist daher davon ausgehend Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Kunststoffbehälter für im Maler- und Baugewerbe verwendete Materialen anzugeben, dessen beide Behälterteile bei geringen Verpackungskosten. dicht verschlossen werden können und die, einzeln oder verbunden, transportsicher, d. h. insbesondere stossicher ausgebildet sind. Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a plastic container for materials used in the painting and construction industry, the two container parts with low packaging costs. can be tightly closed and which, individually or connected, are safe for transport, d. H. in particular are designed to be shockproof. This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.Preferred embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Figur 1 eine teilweise aufgeschnittene Draufsicht auf einen erfindungsgemässen Behälter,
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt gemäss Linie 11-11,
  • Figur 3 eine Ausschnittsvergrösserung von Figur 1 und
  • Figur 4 einen Schnitt im vergrösserten Massstab gemäss Linie IV-IV von Figur 1.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing of exemplary embodiments. Show it :
  • FIG. 1 shows a partially cut open top view of a container according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 shows a section along line 11-11,
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of Figure 1 and
  • 4 shows a section on an enlarged scale according to line IV-IV of FIG. 1.

Man erkennt in Figur 2 den Kunststoffbehälter 1, den Deckel 2 und den Traggriff 3. Ein solcher Eimer mit Deckel ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A-2 549 400 bekannt, wobei der Behälter einen polygonalen Flansch 4 mit Gruppen'von Rippen 5 aufweist und der Traggriff 3 an diesem Flansch befestigt ist. Ein solcher Behälter ist insbesondere für den Transport durch die Bahn oder durch einen Lastwagen geeignet, bei welchem seitliche Stösse häufig vorkommen können, die durch den polygonalen Flansch aufgefangen werden, wobei die polygone Formgebung ein Aneinanderreihen der Behälter erleichtert und die Gruppen von Rippen das Verschieben untereinander verhindert.The plastic container 1, the lid 2 and the carrying handle 3 can be seen in FIG. 2. Such a bucket with a lid is known for example from DE-A-2 549 400, the container having a polygonal flange 4 with groups of ribs 5 and the carrying handle 3 is attached to this flange. Such a container is particularly suitable for transport by train or truck, in which lateral impacts can often occur, which are absorbed by the polygonal flange, the polygonal shape making it easier to line up the containers and the groups of ribs to move among themselves prevented.

Wie aus der Zeichnung hervorgeht, ist am Deckel, beispielsweise konzentrisch dazu, ein kleinerer Behälter 6 angeordnet. In vorliegendem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der zweite Behälter einstückig mit dem Deckel hergestellt, so dass der einerseits aus einem weicheren und kostengünstigeren Material und andererseits auch dünner hergestellt werden kann als der Behälter 1. Der zweite Behälter 6 weist ebenfalls einen Deckel 7 auf, der einen ähnlichen Verschlussteil 8 besitzt wie der Verschlussteil 9 des Deckels am Behälter. Der Verschlussteil 8 am zweiten Deckel 7 weist eine äussere Wand 10 auf, die um einen um den zweiten Behälter 6 laufenden Kragen 11 mit verdicktem Ende 12 greift sowie zwei daran anschliessende, eine umlaufende Nut 13 bildende Wände 14 und 15, woran sich nach innen ein Wulst 16 anschliesst, der der Verstärkung dient. In der umlaufenden Nut 13 sind Verstärkungsrippen 17 angeordnet, die einen Absatz 18 aufweisen, der der Zentrierung des Bodens 36 des zweiten Behälters dient, womit eine gute Stapelbarkeit der zweiten Behälter er zielt wird. Die äussere Wand 10 des Verschlussteils weist einen nach innen gerichteten umlaufenden Nocken 19 auf, der unter das verdickte Ende des Kragens greift, wodurch ein fester Halt und auch ein Wiederverschliessen des Deckels ermöglicht wird. Zwecks Abdichtung des Deckels kann zwischen dem verdickten Ende 12 und der um dieses verdickte Ende greifenden äusseren Wand 10 eine Gummipackung gelegt werden oder, wie in vorliegendem Beispiel, kann die Innenwand des um das Kragenende liegenden Teils eine umlaufende Lippe 20 aufweisen, die sich beim Verschliessen auf das obere Ende des umlaufenden Kragens anschmiegt und so eine gute Dichtung bewirkt.As can be seen from the drawing, a smaller container 6 is arranged on the cover, for example concentrically thereto. In the present preferred embodiment, the second container is made in one piece with the lid, so that it can be made on the one hand from a softer and less expensive material and on the other hand also thinner than the container 1. The second container 6 also has a lid 7 which is similar Closure part 8 has like closure part 9 of the lid on the container. The closure part 8 on the second cover 7 has an outer wall 10 which engages around a collar 11 with a thickened end 12 which runs around the second container 6, and two adjoining walls 14 and 15 forming a circumferential groove 13, which is inwardly directed Bead 16 connects, which serves for reinforcement. In the circumferential groove 13 reinforcing ribs 17 are arranged, which have a shoulder 18, which serves to center the bottom 36 of the second container, so that the second container is easy to stack. The outer wall 10 of the closure part has an inward circumferential cam 19 which engages under the thickened end of the collar, which enables a firm hold and also a reclosing of the cover. In order to seal the cover, a rubber packing can be placed between the thickened end 12 and the outer wall 10 encompassing this thickened end, or, as in the present example, the inner wall of the part lying around the collar end can have a circumferential lip 20 which closes when closed hugs the upper end of the circumferential collar and thus creates a good seal.

Der Verschlussteil 9 des grossen Deckels ist ähnlich wie derjenige des kleineren Deckels aufgebaut und weist eine Aussenwand 21 mit Nocken 22 auf, die um das obere verdickte Ende 23 der Behälterwand 24 greift. Die Innenseite des Verschlusses weist ebenfalls eine Dichtungslippe 25 auf. Der Verschlussteil 9 weist ferner eine Innenwand 26 auf, an der sich das Deckelinnere 27 anschliesst. Zwischen der inneren Wand 26 und dem Deckelinneren sind Verstärkungsrippen 28 angeordnet, die einen Absatz 29 aufweisen, wodurch beim Stapeln der Boden 30 des grossen Behälters zentriert werden kann. An beiden Deckeln befinden sich Oesen 31, die das Oeffnen der Deckel erleichtern.The closure part 9 of the large lid is constructed similarly to that of the smaller lid and has an outer wall 21 with cams 22 which engages around the upper thickened end 23 of the container wall 24. The inside of the closure also has a sealing lip 25. The closure part 9 also has an inner wall 26 to which the lid interior 27 connects. Reinforcing ribs 28 are arranged between the inner wall 26 and the inside of the lid, which have a shoulder 29, whereby the bottom 30 of the large container can be centered when stacked. There are eyelets 31 on both lids which facilitate the opening of the lids.

Wie aus Obigem hervorgeht, bewirkt die Gestaltung der Deckel eine gute Stapelbarkeit der vollen grossen und kleinen Behälter, wobei die Böden 19 und 30 jeweils auf die Absätze 18 bzw. 29 abgestimmt sind. Um ein Verklemmen der kleinen Behälter beim Ineinanderstapeln zu verhindern, sind zwischen der Wand 32 des kleinen Behälters und der inneren Wand 26 des Deckels Flügel 33 angeordnet, die zugleich als Verstärkung dienen. Diese Flügel verhindern, dass die kleinen Behälter beim Ineinanderstapeln zu fest ineinander geraten und klemmen.As can be seen from the above, the design of the lids results in good stackability of the full large and small containers, the bottoms 19 and 30 being matched to paragraphs 18 and 29, respectively. In order to prevent the small containers from jamming when stacked one inside the other, wings 33 are between the wall 32 of the small container and the inner wall 26 of the lid arranged, which also serve as reinforcement. These wings prevent the small containers from getting too tight and jamming when stacked.

Um ein Mischen beider Komponenten zu erleichtern, ist der Boden des kleinen Behälters derart ausgebildet, dass er ohne grossen Kraftaufwand geöffnet werden kann. In vorliegendem Fall weist der Boden zwei senkrecht zueinander stehende Rippen 34 auf (s. Figuren 1 und 4), wodurch der Boden in vier Sektoren aufgeteilt wird. Innerhalb von jedem Sektor ist entlang des Umfangs und daran anschliessend teilweise entlang den Rippen 34 eine Schwächungsritze 35 (s. Figur 4) angeordnet. Die Tiefe dieser Ritze respektive die verbleibende Wandstärke bei der Schwächungsritze wird derart gewählt, dass die Sektoren ohne zu grossen Kraftaufwand hinausgestossen werden können. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, eine andere Anordnung der Rippen 34 und somit andere Sektoren zu erhalten und auch die Schwächungsritze innerhalb der einzelnen Sektoren anders zu gestalten.To make it easier to mix both components, the bottom of the small container is designed in such a way that it can be opened without great effort. In the present case, the floor has two ribs 34 which are perpendicular to one another (see FIGS. 1 and 4), as a result of which the floor is divided into four sectors. A weakening crack 35 (see FIG. 4) is arranged within each sector along the circumference and then partly along the ribs 34. The depth of this crack or the remaining wall thickness of the weakening crack is chosen such that the sectors can be pushed out without too much effort. It is of course possible to obtain a different arrangement of the ribs 34 and thus other sectors and also to design the weakening cracks differently within the individual sectors.

Die beschriebenen grossen Behälter für sich allein, mit dem polygonalen Flansch, und einem ähnlichen Verschluss, mit Gummidichtung, haben sich als sehr widerstandsfähig gegen Stösse bei Transporten mit der Bahn oder mit dem Lastwagen erwiesen und sind daher insbesondere für den Transport von Farber, Mörtel und Verputz geeignet. Der Widerstand gegenüber Stössen im Bodenbereich kann beim grossen Behälter dadurch erhöht werden, dass zwischen dem senkrechten Bodenrand 37 und dem Boden 30 Versteifungsrippen 38 vorgesehen werden, deren Richtung von der radialen Richtung abweicht.The large containers described on their own, with the polygonal flange, and a similar closure, with a rubber seal, have proven to be very resistant to shocks when transported by train or truck and are therefore particularly suitable for the transport of paint, mortar and Suitable for plastering. The resistance to impacts in the bottom area can be increased in the large container by providing stiffening ribs 38 between the vertical bottom edge 37 and the bottom 30, the direction of which deviates from the radial direction.

Die Herstellung eines Behälters mit einem einstückig mit dem Deckel aus Kunststoff gespritzten zweiten Behälter beschränkt sich nicht auf die oben beschriebene Ausführungsform. Es ist vielmehr möglich, einen zweiten Behälter an einem anderen Deckel anzubringen, der für einen anderen als oben beschriebenen Kunststoffbehälter verwendbar ist. Es kann unter Umständen auch zweckmässig sein, ein anderes Herstellungsverfahren als den Spritzguss zu verwenden.The production of a container with a second container injection-molded in one piece with the plastic lid is not limited to the embodiment described above. Rather, it is possible to attach a second container to another cover, which can be used for a plastic container other than that described above. It may also be appropriate to use a manufacturing process other than injection molding.

Zum Zwecke der Rationalisierung und weiterer Senkung der Herstellungskosten ist es nicht notwendig, für jeden Behältertyp einen kleinen Behälter anzufertigen. Es kann jeweils für eine Gruppe von Behältern mit verschiedenem Inhalt ein einziger Innenbehälter hergestellt werden. Dabei wird man zweckmässigerweise den Behälteroberteil für einige Typen mit den gleichen Massen herstellen und die Länge der Behälterwände variieren. Es ist weiterhin möglich, wie bei einem in der EP-A-0 052 172 dargestellten Verschluss an einem Kunststoffbehälter beschrieben ist, einen Ausguss aus Metall oder aus Weichplastik anzubringen. Ausserdam kann, wie dort beschrieben, ein anderes Kunststoffmaterial verwendet werden und die Deckel mittels Abreissbänder gesichert sein.For the purpose of streamlining and further reducing the manufacturing cost, it is not necessary to make a small container for each type of container. A single inner container can be produced for a group of containers with different contents. It will be convenient to manufacture the upper part of the container for some types with the same mass and vary the length of the container walls. It is also possible, as described for a closure shown in EP-A-0 052 172 on a plastic container, to provide a spout made of metal or soft plastic. In addition, as described there, another plastic material can be used and the covers can be secured with tear-off tapes.
