Definitions

  • the invention relates to a herbal pack according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Medicinal or health baths often contain herbal extracts as medically effective additives, which are added to the water in a bathtub or in a pool, for example in the form of liquid herbal extracts. An exact dosage is often difficult.
  • the liquid herbal extracts currently on the market contain additional substances, such as emulsifiers, additional binders or preservatives. Such additives are not desirable in many cases.
  • herbal packs have already been proposed (DE-A-3 420 128) which contain dried herbs in a water-permeable bag. Additives, especially preservatives, are generally not required for these herbal packs. Depending on the required concentration of herbal extracts in this bath, one or more herbal packs are then introduced into the water for the preparation of a healing or health bath. Through the water-permeable bag of the herbal pack, the herbs can release their active ingredients into the water, the herbs remaining in the bag of the herbal pack, so that this can be used with the softened or wet or moist herbs without difficulty and, above all, without the risk of the drain pipe becoming blocked softened herbs can be removed from the bath or basin from the medicinal or health bath.
  • the herbal pack To make it easier to find the herbal pack in medicinal and health baths, it is advantageous to design the herbal pack to be floating, in such a way that it floats on the water surface or in the area of the water surface and is therefore easy to find and remove. This also ensures that when a medicinal or health bath is drained, the herbal pack does not lie in front of the drain and can thus prevent the water from flowing away.
  • FR-A-2 353 207 It is also known (FR-A-2 353 207) to provide a plastic packaging film with projections which all protrude from a common surface side of this packaging film and a part of which is provided with a passage opening.
  • the object of the invention is to design a herbal pack of the type described at the outset in such a way that it is not only floatable without additional floating or buoyancy bodies or elements, that is to say it can be used as a floating herbal pack, but also, when used, the most intimate mixing possible of the water with the herbs contained in the herbal pack or the medicinally active substances released by these herbs.
  • the openings in the bag or in the plastic film forming this bag have such a small diameter in the herbal pack according to the invention that the herbs contained in the herbal pack can certainly not penetrate to the outside through the openings.
  • the plastic film is pierced with fine perforation needles either before the bag is manufactured or after its manufacture, from both sides, so that not only the passage openings but also the protrusions are formed by permanent deformation of the material which have, for example, the shape of frustoconical sections. Due to the projections or the frusto-conical sections, the openings have a tendency to expand somewhat in the interior of the bag even under consideration of the inherent elasticity of the plastic material used, namely that the projections projecting beyond the outer surface of the bag are assigned Through openings when the herb pack is compressed, ie expanded at an overpressure, while the passage openings assigned to the other projections increasingly close.
  • the passage openings associated with the projections projecting beyond the inner surface of the bag are widened somewhat, while the other passage openings increasingly close.
  • This "valve effect" results in a very intimate flow of water through the interior of the herbal pack.
  • the design of the herbal pack ensures that a certain amount of residual air always remains in the interior of the herbal pack, so that this pack can float even without the use of additional floating or buoyancy bodies.
  • Polypropylene is particularly suitable for the production of the herbal pack.
  • the plastic material or blanks 2 is provided with a plurality of through openings 4 and 5, which are formed by pressing in or piercing preferably tapering, thin perforation needles, so that in the material of the blank 2 in question in the region
  • Each opening 4 or 5 is formed a section 6 which is approximately frustoconical and has its axis perpendicular or transverse to the surface sides of the blank 2, the inside diameter of which extends from the inside or outside of the blank 2 to the opening 4 or 5 narrowed.
  • the openings 4 and the associated sections 6 are made in that the material of the blank 2 or the plastic roll has been pierced from one surface side of this film, while the blank 2 or the plastic film to form the openings 5 and the associated one Sections 6 was pierced from the other surface side of this film.
  • the sections 6 with the associated openings 4 form nub-like projections which extend over one surface side of the blank 2, i.e. for example protrude beyond the outside of the sachet of the herb pack 1, while the sections 6 with the openings 5 protrude beyond the other surface side of the blank, i.e. protrude, for example, over the inner surface of the bag of the herbal pack 1 into the interior of this herbal pack.
  • openings 4 and 5 or the sections 6 such fine or thin perforation needles were used that the openings 4 and 5 have a very small cross-section, so that herbs 7 contained in the herbal pack 1 or in the interior of this herbal pack neither in the dry nor in the wet or wet state through the openings 4 and 5 can escape to the outside, a passage of water and also air according to the arrows A and B through the openings 5 and 4 into the interior of the bag of the herbal pack 1 and through the openings 4 from this interior to the outside, however, is easily ensured.
  • the openings 4 and 5 By pushing in the openings 4 and 5 with the aid of perforation needles or through the resulting frustoconical sections 6, the openings 4 and 5 have a tendency to close as much as possible due to the inherent elasticity of the plastic material, which also contributes to herbs 7 cannot escape from the herbal pack.
  • a negative pressure inside the herbal pack which is generated, for example, by pulling the two layers of the bag of the herbal pack 1 apart by hand, the openings 5 or the associated sections 6 expand, while the openings 4 and the associated sections 6 close even further, so that water and possibly small amounts of air can get into the interior of the herbal pack 1 through the openings 5 in accordance with the arrow A.
  • the openings 5 and the associated sections 6 close, while the openings 4 and the associated sections 6 expand, so that in particular a water flow through the openings 4 is possible according to the arrow B to the outside, but again here in the form that herbs 7 cannot escape from the interior of the herb pack 1.
  • This valve effect not only enables an advantageous flow through the interior of the herbal pack 1 (according to arrows A and B) with water to transfer the active substances of the herbs 7 to the water, provided the negative pressure or overpressure inside the herbal pack the manner described is carried out under water or under a jet of water, but the training described also ensures that a certain amount of residual air always remains in the interior of the herbal pack 1, in particular when the reduction and enlargement of the Interior of the herbal pack 1 are made by hand in the area of the water surface of a health spa, so that the herbal pack floats on the water surface or in the immediate vicinity of the water surface without additional floating bodies or buoyancy elements.
  • the sections 6 projecting over the outer surface of the herbal pack 1 or the bag of this herbal pack results in a rough surface for the herbal pack 1, so that an advantageous massage effect is achieved when the moist herbal pack 1 is rubbed on the skin of the user.
  • the herbal pack 1 Due to the large number of openings 4 and 5, the herbal pack 1 can also be easily folded or folded in any desired direction.
  • the bag of the herbal pack 1 cannot dissolve in water even after prolonged use, so that the herbs 7 are held safely and reliably in the interior of the herbal pack 1.
