Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tube container for extrudable coating material.
  • Tube containers are traditionally known as storage and processing containers for extrudable spreadable materials of the most varied types, for example for toothpaste, for pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations of the most varied types in cream or paste form, and furthermore for spreadable materials for technical-commercial purposes such as adhesives, putties, plastic materials , Colors, etc., and finally also for foods such as mustard, horseradish, mayonnaise, meat and liver pies and the like.
  • Tube containers of this type usually have on their outlet end side an outlet device which can be closed with a screw cap and which usually has a substantially circular outlet opening of a diameter which is substantially smaller than the tube diameter.
  • the invention relates to a tube container which is particularly suitable for dispensing spreadable contents in a relatively wide strand shape, which allows the spreadable spread to be conveniently distributed in a wide strand.
  • the invention is intended to create a tube container for spreadable cheese and food or luxury goods of comparable consistency, which is suitable for garnishing purposes, for example garnishing pizzas or the like with cheese.
  • the preparation of spreadable cheese in tube form is new as such and in the form of a tube container particularly suitable for this purpose the subject of the present invention.
  • the invention thus relates to a tube container for extrudable spreadable material, in particular for spreadable cheese or food of comparable consistency, with an outlet device which can be closed with a screw cap and is provided on the outlet end of the tube container.
  • the invention is intended to create a tube container of this type which is particularly, although not exclusively, suitable for spreadable material in the food and foodstuffs field, in particular for the aforementioned new cheese packaging in tube form, and the adjustment of the contents of the tube in the form of a ribbon-shaped strand the preferred applications of the spread, such as for garnishing pizzas or the like with cheese.
  • the tube container is supposed to be easy to apply while being simple and inexpensive to produce Ensure supply in the form of a ribbon-shaped strand which is as far as possible adapted to the respective type of application, while at the same time ensuring hygienic storage and storage before and after opening the tube until the tube contents have been completely used up.
  • the outlet device is designed as an outlet spreading distributor in order to achieve an extrusion strand of the coating material which is suitable in terms of shape and dimension, the provision being made in accordance with the preferred embodiment that the outlet - Spreading distributor consists of a base part inserted into or connected to the end wall and an outlet nozzle part with an end-side outlet opening adjoining the end wall, and that the outlet-spreading distributor, at least in its cross-sectional configuration in the sectional plane perpendicular to the main dimension, has a rounded gradual transition from the relatively larger dimension in the lower part to the relatively smaller transverse dimension of the outlet opening in the upper part.
  • the outlet spreading distributor is formed in one piece and can either be inserted into the end wall of the tube container or is also formed in one piece with the end wall of the tube container.
  • a particularly preferred configuration for food or foodstuffs applications, in particular also for cheese Tung is characterized by a tear-off closure over the outlet opening on the upper end face, this A tear closure as a molded on the end face of the outlet nozzle part, can be formed with this as a one-piece injection molded body.
  • the tear-off closure can be designed with a grip tab protruding beyond the outlet end face of the coating distributor. After removing the screw cap, the tear-off fastener can be gripped easily by right and left-handers using the protruding grip tab.
  • the tear-off seal serves as a factory-side hermetic seal for the outlet opening and guarantees a hermetic seal of the tube contents from the factory filling process until the consumer tears it off when the tube is opened for the first time. The tight reclosure of the outlet opening when the tube contents are not completely used is ensured by screwing on the screw cap, which with its bottom wall fits tightly against the end face of the outlet nozzle body when the screw connection is fully tightened, with reliable closure
  • the tube container design according to the invention with an outlet spreading distributor is, as stated, particularly suitable for the novel packaging of spreadable cheese in tube form; However, it is not limited to this specific application, but is also suitable for other foodstuffs or semi-luxury goods such as mayonnaise, chocolate and cake icing, etc., and for tube masses beyond the food sector.
  • the tube container designated as a whole by 1
  • the tube container has at its outlet-side end 2 a coating outlet distributor, designated as a whole by 3, according to the invention, with which a screw cap 4 can be screwed in a conventional manner.
  • the tube container is a cheese tube for a new kind of preparation of spreadable cheese of corresponding consistency, which is particularly suitable for cheese applications for baking, garnishing, refining or simply as a spread.
  • the invention is not restricted to this special application for cheese tubes, but rather is suitable for use in tube containers for any coating material.
  • the outlet spreading distributor 3 is preferably designed as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part and, in a manner known per se, is inserted into a corresponding opening 5 in the outlet-side end wall 6 of the tube container (which is slightly conical in the usual way).
  • the outlet spreading distributor 3 has a base part 8 provided with an external thread 7 for the screw cap 4 and an outlet nozzle part 9 connected to the end of this. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this has an upwardly tapering parallelepiped shape with a cross section adapted to the particular application and the strand shape desired for the coating material, and has the actual outlet opening 10 for the coating material on its upper end face.
  • a tear-off tab 11 projecting beyond the end face is preferably formed in one piece.
  • the exit opening 10, like the horizontal cross section of the nozzle part 9, has a configuration corresponding to the shape desired for the exit strand of the coating material;
  • the outlet opening 10 is essentially rectangular in shape with dimensions corresponding to the width and thickness desired for the outlet strand of the coating material.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show sectional or partial sectional views according to FIGS. 2a and 2b, of which FIG. 2a shows a (sectional) side view looking towards the broad side, and FIG. 2b shows a (partially sectioned) side view looking towards the narrow side of the coating distributor assembly.
  • the tear-off 11 has, ig in particular from the F. 2a and 2b as well as from the top view of FIG. 3, a grip edge 13 with ribbing 14 on the top and bottom sides protruding sufficiently on three sides of the end face of the nozzle part 9. This grip edge protruding on three sides ensures comfortable handling for both left and right-handers to tear off the tab 11 when the tube is first opened by the consumer.
  • FIG 3 shows a partial top view of the tear-off closure 11 with the grip edge 13 and the outlet opening 10 (indicated by dashed lines) underneath.
  • the tear-off closure 11 with grip edge 13 integrated with the outlet nozzle body 9 is preferably formed as an injection-molded part made in one piece with the nozzle body 9, the connection to the end face of the outlet nozzle body 9 to ensure easy tear-off (with simultaneous hermetic sealing of the outlet opening), for example by one the closed web surrounding the outlet opening can be formed.
  • the tear-off tab thus forms a hermetic seal on the outlet side of the tube until it is torn off by the consumer when the tube is opened for the first time.
  • the external thread section 7 extends axially / downwards to ensure that when the cap is screwed on again in spite of the now lacking material thickness of the tear-off closure 11, the bottom 16 of the closure cap 4 is pressed tightly against the end face of the outlet nozzle body 9 when fully screwed on.
  • the outlet spreading distributor could also be formed in one piece with this tube end wall 6, for example as a one-piece plastic part or possibly also in a metal design.
  • the configuration of the outlet opening and the shape of the nozzle part 9 adapted to it there are of course the most varied possible modifications depending on the particularities of the respective coating material and the particular purposes of use.
  • an oval shape or a shape as a narrow slot with a transverse dimension that is significantly smaller than the longitudinal dimension could also be provided.
  • the peripheral edge of the outlet opening 10 could optionally be serrated or corrugated to achieve a corresponding surface structure of the pressed strand of coated material, be it for decorative purposes (for example for garnishing) or for technical purposes in the narrower sense, for example to enlarge the surface of the extruded strand or for additional work the pressed-S treichgutes.
  • the tear-off tab 11 is designed as a swivel flap closure, which is not torn off completely when the tube is broken open, but rather is left connected along a swivel connecting edge 15 to the outlet nozzle body, for example in the one shown in FIG. 1 (or an even more retracted one) Position to be able to be folded back onto the face of the outlet nozzle body after use of the tube and incomplete use of the tube contents.
  • the hinged closure 11 would then be pressed firmly against the outlet end face through the bottom wall 16 of the closure cap 4 as an additional sealing element.
