  • the top additive consists of isoparaffins as the second phase. These are very volatile liquids which have this property even at room temperature and even more so at higher temperatures, so that tight packaging is very difficult.
  • the isoparaffins have an extremely good creeping ability. They have a low specific weight and therefore always swim at the top in a two-phase mixture.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to design the packaging for multi-phase liquid products so that liquid losses through diffusion and creep are avoided.
  • This is achieved in an advantageous manner according to the invention in that the bottle stopper is designed as a base for bottles filled with multi-phase liquid products, and the bottle has such a shape that it cannot be opened with the opening facing upwards.
  • the volatile and specifically lighter top additive is encapsulated in the part of the bottle opposite the opening, so that the volatile liquid is not in the opening / closure area and losses during storage are thereby avoided.
  • the bottle and the closure can be produced inexpensively and an expensive closure seal, which would also result in cumbersome handling, is eliminated.
  • the bottle 1 has a bottle neck 2 and an outwardly curved base 3, which prevents the bottle 1 from being opened with the opening 4 facing upwards.
  • a cap 5 is screwed or clamped onto the bottle neck 2, which laterally engages over the bottle neck 2 and has an outer ring 6.
  • the outer ring 6 has approximately the same diameter as the bottle 1, so that there is a standing surface 7 which corresponds to the bottle diameter or is even larger. In order to be able to store the bottle horizontally, it can be provided with one or more lateral support surfaces.

Abstract

Die Verpackung für mehrphasige Flüssigprodukte ist so ausgebildet, daß bei Verwendung eines leichtflüchtigen Top-Zusatzes keine Flüssigkeitsverluste durch Diffusion und Kriechen auftreten können. Zu diesem Zweck wird der Flaschenverschluß (5) als Standfuß (7) ausgebildet, und der Flasche (1) eine solche Form gegeben, daß sie sich nicht mit der Öffnung (4) nach oben aufstellen läßt. Der Schraub- oder Klemmverschluß (5) übergreift seitlich den Flaschenhals (2) oder ragt seitlich über diesen hinaus, um eine ausreichend große Standfläche (7) zu bilden. Das der Flaschenöffnung (4) gegenüberliegende Ende (3) der Flasche (1) ist ganz oder teilweise nach außen gewölbt, damit kein Boden zum Aufstellen vorhanden ist, und der leichtflüchtige Top-Zusatz (11) bei Lagerung der Flaschen in dem der Öffnung (4) und dem Verschluß (5) gegenüberliegenden Teil der Flasche (1) abgekapselt wird.The packaging for multi-phase liquid products is designed in such a way that when using a volatile top additive, no liquid losses due to diffusion and creep can occur. For this purpose, the bottle stopper (5) is designed as a stand (7) and the bottle (1) is given such a shape that it cannot be opened with the opening (4) facing upwards. The screw or clamp closure (5) laterally overlaps the bottle neck (2) or projects laterally beyond it to form a sufficiently large footprint (7). The end (3) of the bottle (1) opposite the bottle opening (4) is curved in whole or in part so that there is no floor to be set up, and the volatile top additive (11) when the bottles are stored in the opening ( 4) and the closure (5) opposite part of the bottle (1) is encapsulated.

Description

Für kosmetische Zwecke ist es bekannt, zweiphasige Flüssigprodukte zu verwenden, beispielsweise Haarfestiger oder festigerähnliche Produkte mit sogenanntem Top-Zusatz. Der Top-Zusatz besteht aus Isoparaffinen als zweite Phase. Dies sind sehr leichtflüchtige Flüssigkeiten, die schon bei Raumtemperatur und erst recht bei höheren Temperaturen diese Eigenschaft aufweisen, so daß ein dichtes Verpacken mit großen Schwierigkeiten verbunden ist. Hinzu kommt noch, daß die Isoparaffine eine extrem gute Kriechfähigkeit aufweisen. Sie haben ein geringes spezifisches Gewicht und schwimmen daher in einer Zweiphasen-Mischung immer oben.For cosmetic purposes it is known to use two-phase liquid products, for example hair setting or setting-like products with a so-called top additive. The top additive consists of isoparaffins as the second phase. These are very volatile liquids which have this property even at room temperature and even more so at higher temperatures, so that tight packaging is very difficult. In addition, the isoparaffins have an extremely good creeping ability. They have a low specific weight and therefore always swim at the top in a two-phase mixture.

Werden diese Flüssigprodukte in die üblichen Flaschen abgefüllt, dann treten beachtliche Verluste an Top-Zusatz durch Diffusion und Kriechen im Bereich des Verschlusses ein. Aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen werden die Verschlußkappen der Flaschen mit einstückig integrierten Dichtungselementen versehen, wobei zwischen Flaschenhals und Dichtelement Kapillaren und Likrospalte nicht zu vermeiden sind. Die meistens infolge notwendiger Wirtschaftlichkeit und Funktionalität aus Polyolefinen hergestellten Verschlüsse weisen gegenüber Isoparaffinen nur eine geringe Diffusionsdichte auf.If these liquid products are filled into the usual bottles, there is considerable loss of top additive due to diffusion and creep in the area of the closure. For economic reasons, the caps of the bottles are provided with integral sealing elements, with capilla between the bottle neck and sealing element and liqueur columns cannot be avoided. The closures, which are usually made from polyolefins as a result of the necessary economy and functionality, have only a low diffusion density compared to isoparaffins.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, die Verpackung für mehrphasige Flüssigprodukte so zu gestalten, daß Flüssigkeitsverluste durch Diffusion und Kriechen vermieden werden. Dies wird gemäß der Erfindung auf vorteilhafte Weise dadurch erreicht, daß bei mit mehrphasigen Flüssigprodukten gefüllten Flaschen der Flaschenverschluß als Standfuß ausgebildet ist, und die Flasche eine solche Form besitzt, daß sie sich nicht mit der Öffnung nach oben aufstellen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to design the packaging for multi-phase liquid products so that liquid losses through diffusion and creep are avoided. This is achieved in an advantageous manner according to the invention in that the bottle stopper is designed as a base for bottles filled with multi-phase liquid products, and the bottle has such a shape that it cannot be opened with the opening facing upwards.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß gestalteten Flaschen wird der leichtflüchtige und spezifisch leichtere Top-Zusatz in dem der Öffnung gegenüberliegenden Teil der Flasche abgekapselt, so daß sich die leichtflüchtige Flüssigkeit nicht im Bereich Öffnung/Verschluß befindet und dadurch Verluste während der Lagerung vermieden werden. Es wird also sowohl eine optisch sichtbare Füllspiegelsenkung als auch ein objektiver Wirkungsverlust des Gesamtproduktes verhindert. Die Flasche und der Verschluß lassen sich kostengünstig herstellen und eine teuere Verschlußversiegelung, die auch eine umständliche Handhabung zur Folge haben würde, entfällt.In the bottles designed according to the invention, the volatile and specifically lighter top additive is encapsulated in the part of the bottle opposite the opening, so that the volatile liquid is not in the opening / closure area and losses during storage are thereby avoided. This prevents both an optically visible lowering of the filling level and an objective loss of effectiveness of the overall product. The bottle and the closure can be produced inexpensively and an expensive closure seal, which would also result in cumbersome handling, is eliminated.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird darin gesehen, daß der Schraub- oder Klemmverschluß den Flaschenhals übergreift. Um die Flasche auch liegend lagern zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, diese mit mindestens einer seitlichen Auflagefläche zu versehen.An advantageous development of the invention is seen in the fact that the screw or clamp closure engages over the bottle neck. In order to be able to store the bottle horizontally, it is advisable to provide it with at least one lateral support surface.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung können den Unteransprüchen sowie der Zeichnung und der zugehörigen Zeichnungsbeschreibung entnommen werden.Further features of the invention can be found in the subclaims and the drawing and the associated drawing description.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert, und zwar zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Flasche im Längsschnitt, die auf ihrem Verschluß aufgestellt ist und
  • Fig. 2 die Flasche nach Fig. 1 in Liegestellung.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing, which shows:
  • Fig. 1 is a bottle in longitudinal section, which is placed on its closure and
  • Fig. 2 shows the bottle of FIG. 1 in the lying position.

Die Flasche 1 weist einen Flaschenhals 2 und einen nach außen gewölbten Boden 3 auf, der ein Aufstellen der Flasche 1 mit der Öffnung 4 nach oben verhindert. Auf den Flaschenhals 2 ist eine Verschlußkappe 5 aufgeschraubt oder aufgeklemmt, die seitlich den Flaschenhals 2 übergreift und einen Außenring 6 aufweist. Der Außenring 6 hat etwa den gleichen Durchmesser wie die Flasche 1, so daß eine dem Flaschendurchmesser entsprechende oder eine noch größere Standfläche 7 vorhanden ist. Um die Flasche auch liegend lagern zu können, kann sie mit einer oder mehreren seitlichen Auflageflächen versehen sein.The bottle 1 has a bottle neck 2 and an outwardly curved base 3, which prevents the bottle 1 from being opened with the opening 4 facing upwards. A cap 5 is screwed or clamped onto the bottle neck 2, which laterally engages over the bottle neck 2 and has an outer ring 6. The outer ring 6 has approximately the same diameter as the bottle 1, so that there is a standing surface 7 which corresponds to the bottle diameter or is even larger. In order to be able to store the bottle horizontally, it can be provided with one or more lateral support surfaces.

Wie die beiden Figuren erkennen lassen, befindet sich sowohl in der stehenden Stellung nach Fig. 1 als auch in der liegenden Stellung nach Fig. 2 der oben auf der Flüssigkeit 10 schwimmende, leichtflüchtige Top-Zusatz 11 aus Isoparaffinen nicht im unmittelbaren Bereich des Flaschenverschlusses, so daß Lagerungsverluste am Top-Zusatz durch Diffusion und Kriechen nicht auftreten können.As can be seen from the two figures, both in the standing position according to FIG. 1 and in the lying position according to FIG. 2, the volatile top additive 11 made of isoparaffins floating on the liquid 10 is not in the immediate area of the bottle cap, so that storage losses at the top additive due to diffusion and creep cannot occur.

Es versteht sich, daß die Erfindung keineswegs auf das in der Zeichnung dargestellte und oben beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt ist, denn es gibt mannigfaltige Abwandlungsmöglichkeiten in der Gestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Flasche und ihres Verschlusses, ohne daß dabei der Rahmen der Erfindung verlassen wird.It goes without saying that the invention is in no way limited to the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing and described above, because there are various possible modifications in the design of the bottle according to the invention and its closure, without thereby leaving the scope of the invention.
