Abstract

PCT No. PCT/EP85/00008 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 17, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 17, 1986 PCT Filed Jan. 12, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO85/05342 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 5, 1985.A bottle for containing a multi-phase liquid product has a bottle member with a main bottle wall and a lower bottle wall forming a neck with an opening, and a closure member having a central closure wall which engages and supports the neck and an outer closure wall which is in an end-to-end abutting relationship with the main wall of the bottle member and supports the main wall.

Description

Für kosmetische Zwecke ist es bekannt, Flaschen mit einer Füllung von zwei Flüssigkeiten unterschiedlicher Dichte zu verwenden, beispielsweise Haarfestiger oder festigerähnliche Produkte mit sogenanntem Top-Zusatz. Diese oben befindliche Flüssigkeit besteht aus Isoparaffinen und ist schon bei Raumtemperatur leichtflüchtig; erst recht bei höheren Temperaturen, so daß ein flüssigkeitsdichtes 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 als Zusatz immer oben.For cosmetic purposes, it is known to use bottles with a filling of two liquids of different densities, for example hair fixers or products similar to setting agents, with what is known as a top additive. This liquid on top consists of isoparaffins and is volatile even at room temperature; especially at higher temperatures, so that liquid-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 as an additive.

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 Kapillare und Mikrospalten nicht zu vermeiden sind, was zu Undichtigkeit führt. 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 creeping in the area of the closure. For economic reasons, the caps of the bottles are provided with integral sealing elements, whereby capillaries and micro-gaps cannot be avoided between the bottle neck and the sealing element, which leads to leaks. 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, eine Flasche für Flüssigprodukte, die mit einem lösbaren Flaschenverschluß versehen ist und mit zwei Flüssigkeiten unterschiedlicher Dichte gefüllt ist, wobei die oben befindliche Flüssigkeit leichtflüchtig bzw. kriechaktiv ist, so zu gestalten, daß Flüssigkeitsverluste durch Diffusion und Kriechen vermieden werden. Dies wird gemäß der Erfindung auf vorteilhafte Weise dadurch erreicht, daß der lösbare Flaschenverschluß als Standfläche ausgebildet ist und die Flasche eine solche Form besitzt, daß sie sich nicht mit der Öffnung nach oben stellen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to design a bottle for liquid products, which is provided with a detachable bottle cap and is filled with two liquids of different densities, the liquid above being volatile or creeping, so that liquid losses due to diffusion and creep are avoided will. This is achieved according to the invention in an advantageous manner in that the detachable bottle closure is designed as a standing surface and the bottle has a shape such that it cannot be placed with the opening facing upwards.

Bei der erfindungsgemäß gestalteten Flasche wird die leichtflüchtige und spezifische leichtere Flüssigkeit (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 Gesamtsproduktes verhindert. Die Flasche und der Verschluß lassen sich kostengünstig herstellen und eine teuere Verschlußversiegelung, die auch eine umständliche Handhabung zu Folge haben würde, entfällt.In the bottle designed according to the invention, the volatile and specific lighter liquid (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 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 manufactured 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 in 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 top of 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.
