Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen auspreßbaren Behälter für insbesondere flüssige Füllgüter, hergestellt aus einem einzigen, steifen, jedoch biegsamen, flachen Werkstoffzuschnitt aus beschichtetem Karton, welcher durch Aufwölben und Formen eines Mittelabschnittes oder Bodens des zunächst flachen Zuschnittes vorzugsweise nach innen und durch gleichzeitiges Aufrichten und Aufwölben von zwei Seitenabschnitten bis zur Zusammenfügung und dichten Verbindung der gegenüberliegenden Seitenränder und Flansche dieser Seitenabschnitte geformt ist, wobei an wenigstens einer Stelle die aufeinanderliegenden Flansche zur Bildung zumindest eines flachen Durchtrittes oder Austrittes nicht verbunden sind und flache durch den Auspreßdruck voneinander abhebbare Begrenzungswände für den Durchtritt bilden, welcher in eine vor Gebrauch geschlossene, abtrennbare Zunge mündet.The invention relates to a squeezable container for liquid goods in particular, made from a single, stiff, but flexible, flat material blank made of coated cardboard, which by bulging and shaping a central portion or bottom of the initially flat blank preferably inwards and by simultaneously erecting and bulging two side sections are formed until the opposite side edges and flanges of these side sections are joined and sealed, the flanges lying one on top of the other not being connected at least at one point to form at least one flat passage or outlet and forming flat boundary walls for the passage which can be lifted off from one another by the extrusion pressure, which opens into a removable tongue that is closed before use.

Ein derartiger Behälter ist aus der EP-A-78 471 (DE-OS-3 143 671) bekannt und hat sich vor allem als mehrfach verwendbare Packung für relativ kleinige Mengen oder als Einmalpackung insbesondere für pastöse Füllgüter bewährt. Der Inhalt des Behälters kann nach Abreißen oder Abschneiden der Zunge durch den dann geöffneten Austritt ausgepreßt werden.Such a container is known from EP-A-78 471 (DE-OS-3 143 671) and has proven itself above all as a reusable package for relatively small quantities or as a single-use package, in particular for pasty filling goods. The contents of the container can be pressed out through the then opened outlet after the tongue has been torn off or cut off.

Beim Auspressen einer Flüssigkeit ergibt sich jedoch aufgrund der Breite des Durchtrittes sowie einem ungeregelten Abheben der beiden Begrenzungswände voneinander und eventuell aufgrund einer relativ unregelmäßigen Abreißkante, daß Flüssigkeitsstrahlen unterschiedlicher und vor allem nicht vorhersehbarer Richtungen entstehen können, so daß ein Benutzer sich unter Umständen durch eine überraschende nicht erwartete Richtung dieses Strahles beschmutzen kann oder Flüssigkeit, die aufgrund dieser nahezu beliebigen Austrittsrichtung ihr Ziel nicht findet, verschwendet wird.When squeezing out a liquid, however, due to the width of the passage and an uncontrolled lifting of the two boundary walls from one another and possibly due to a relatively irregular tear-off edge, liquid jets can arise in different and, above all, unpredictable directions, so that a user may be surprised by a surprise can contaminate the unexpected direction of this jet or wastes liquid that cannot find its destination due to this almost any direction of exit.

Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Behälter der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei welchem die Vorteile des vorbekannten Behälters vor allem hinsichtlich einfacher und preiswerter Herstellung sowie auch einfacher Bedienbarkeit erhalten bleiben, dennoch aber ein sicheres und gezieltes Ausgeben auch einer Flüssigkeit durch Auspressen des Behälters möglich ist.It is therefore the task of creating a container of the type mentioned at the outset in which the advantages of the known container are retained, above all in terms of simple and inexpensive production and also easy to use, but nevertheless safe and targeted dispensing of a liquid by squeezing out the container is possible.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß der Austritt oder Durchtritt an wenigstens einer seiner flachen Begrenzungswände eine in Austrittsrichtung verlaufende vorgeformte Aufwölbung in Form eines Führungskanales hat, der bis in den abtrennbaren Bereich der Zunge verläuft. Dadurch ergibt sich, daß beim Abtrennen der Zunge eine Mündung dieses Führungskanales freigegeben wird, der einen gezielten Flüssigkeitsstrahl bewirkt. Die Flüssigkeit wird dann nämlich statt an den mehr oder weniger nah aufeinanderliegenden Begrenzungswänden an diesem Führungskanal austreten, von welchem sie eine gewünschte Richtung erhält.The solution to this problem consists essentially in the fact that the exit or passage on at least one of its flat boundary walls has a pre-shaped bulge extending in the exit direction in the form of a guide channel which extends into the separable region of the tongue. The result of this is that when the tongue is cut off, an opening of this guide channel is released, which causes a targeted jet of liquid. The liquid will then exit at this guide channel instead of at the more or less closely adjacent boundary walls, from which it receives a desired direction.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn beide den Austritt begrenzenden Wandungen an einander entsprechenden Stellen voneinander weggewandte Aufwölbungen haben. Dadurch wird der Querschnitt des Führungskanales vergrößert.It is particularly expedient if both walls delimiting the outlet have bulges facing away from one another at corresponding locations. This increases the cross section of the guide channel.

Die kanalförmigen Verformungen und Aufwölbungen der Begrenzungswände können durch im Querschnitt voneinander weggerichtete Rillungen gebildet sein. Diese lassen sich besonders einfach schon bei der Herstellung des Behälterzuschnittes anbringen.The channel-shaped deformations and bulges of the boundary walls can be formed by grooves which are directed away from one another in cross section. These can be attached particularly easily when the container blank is being produced.

Die Rillung kann etwa rechtwinklig zu der Trennkante der abtrennbaren Zunge verlaufen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine bevorzugte Richtung des austretenden Flüssigkeitsstrahles praktisch quer zur Behältermündung. Es ist aber auch möglich, daß wenigstens zwei, gegebenenfalls parallele oder insbesondere bevorzugt in Austrittsrichtung schräg zueinander gewandte Führungskanäle bzw. Rillungen vorgesehen sind. Die Vergrößerung der Anzahl der Führungskanäle erlaubt es entweder, bei gleichbleibender Austrittsmenge die entsprechenden Verformungen kleiner halten zu können oder aber bei gleich großer Ausbildung der Kanalquerschnitte ein schnelleres Entleeren zu ermöglichen. Letzteres kann vor allem bei größeren Behältern der eingangs erwähnten Art vorteilhaft sein.The creasing can run approximately at right angles to the separating edge of the detachable tongue. This results in a preferred direction of the emerging liquid jet practically transverse to the container mouth. However, it is also possible to provide at least two, possibly parallel or, particularly preferably, guide channels or creases which face one another obliquely in the exit direction. The increase in the number of guide channels either makes it possible to keep the corresponding deformations smaller with the same amount of discharge or else allows faster emptying if the channel cross sections are of the same size. The latter can be particularly advantageous in the case of larger containers of the type mentioned at the outset.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung von erheblicher Bedeutung insbesondere zur Erleichterung der Bedienung kann darin bestehen, daß die abreißbare Zunge über eine Aufreißhilfe mit dem Behältnis verbunden ist. Als Aufreißhilfe kann dabei eine quer zu dem Führungskanal verlaufende Rillung vorgesehen sein. Dadurch ergibt sich zwar nach dem Abreissen der Zunge an der Mündung des Kanales eine Querschnittsverengung dieser Mündung, weil die Rillung den bis in die Zunge reichenden Kanal zusammendrückt. Diese Querschnittsverengung kann jedoch dem Innendruck der auszupressenden Flüssigkeit sofort nachgeben. Gleichzeitig wird erreicht, daß nach dem Abreißen der Zunge die Öffnung des Kanales zunächst noch wenigstens teilweise verschlossen ist, so daß ein Eindringen von Verunreinigungen so lange verhindert wird, bis der eigentliche Entleerungsvorgang an dem Behälter durchgeführt wird, so daß ein solcher Behälter durch Abreißen der Zunge zwar schon für das Entleeren vorbereitet werden kann, aber nicht sofort entleert werden muß.An embodiment of the invention of considerable importance, in particular to facilitate operation, can be that the tear-off tongue is connected to the container via a tear-open aid. A tear extending transversely to the guide channel can be provided as a ripping aid. This results in a narrowing of the cross-section of this mouth after the tongue is torn off at the mouth of the channel, because the creasing compresses the channel reaching into the tongue. However, this narrowing of the cross section can immediately give in to the internal pressure of the liquid to be pressed out. At the same time it is achieved that after the tongue has been torn off, the opening of the channel is initially at least partially closed, so that the ingress of contaminants is prevented until the actual emptying process is carried out on the container, so that such a container is torn off Tongue can already be prepared for emptying, but does not have to be emptied immediately.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung zur Verbesserung der Bedienbarkeit kann darin bestehen, daß die Zunge zum besseren Fassen und leichteren Abreißen gegenüber dem Durchtritt und den Randflanschen vergrößert ist. Sie kann dann auch von an den Händen oder Fingern behinderten Personen oder unter ungünstigen Bedingungen, beispielsweise von einem Sportler während eines Laufes gut erfaßt und abgerissen werden, was mit einer Zunge, die gegenüber dem Durchtritt praktisch nur die Breite der Seitenflansche des Behälters hat, mit verschwitzten oder behinderten Fingern kaum möglich ist.A further embodiment of the invention to improve operability can consist in the fact that the tongue is enlarged compared to the passage and the edge flanges for better grasping and easier tearing. It can then be well gripped and torn off by persons with hand or fingers or under unfavorable conditions, for example by an athlete during a run, with a tongue that has practically only the width of the side flanges of the container with respect to the passage sweaty or disabled fingers is hardly possible.

Vor allem bei Kombination einzelner oder mehrerer der vorbeschriebenen Merkmale und Maßnahmen ergibt sich ein auspreßbarer Behälter, mit welchem vor allem Flüssigkeit gezielt und ohne Verschmutzungs- oder Verschwendungsgefahr entnommen werden kann, wobei dennoch die Herstellung des Behälters und die Bedienbarkeit einfach bleiben. Vor allem durch den vorgeformten Führungskanal im Bereich des Durchtrittes läßt sich somit der Bedienungskomfort dieses Behälters und seine Eignung vor allem für Flüssigkeit erheblich steigern. Es können aber auch in dem Behälter befindliche Pasten dadurch vorgeformt entnommen werden, wie es z. B. bei Zahnpasta oder ähnlichen Pasten häufig erwünscht ist.Especially when combining individual or Several of the features and measures described above result in a squeezable container with which, above all, liquid can be removed in a targeted manner and without the risk of contamination or waste, while the manufacture of the container and the operability remain simple. Above all, the preformed guide channel in the area of the passage allows the ease of use of this container and its suitability, especially for liquids, to be significantly increased. However, pastes located in the container can also be removed in a preformed manner, as is the case, for. B. is often desired for toothpaste or similar pastes.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung mit ihren ihr als wesentlich zugehörenden Einzelheiten anhand der Zeichnung in mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen noch näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with its details that are essential to it, using the drawing in several exemplary embodiments.

It shows:

  • 2 is a partial view corresponding to FIG. 1 of a container with two parallel guide channels in the area of the detachable tongue,
  • 3 a representation corresponding to FIG. 2 of the mouth area of the container with two guide channels running obliquely to one another in the exit direction,

Ein im ganzen mit 1 bezeichneter, jeweils in den verschiedenen Ausführungsbeispielen nur in seinem einen Boden oder Mittelabschnitt abgewandten Bereich dargestellter auspreßbarer Behälter, im folgenden auch kurz Behälter 1 genannt, ist aus einem einzigen, steifen, jedoch biegsam flachen Werkstoffzuschnitt aus beschichtetem Karton hergestellt, welcher durch Aufwölben und Formen des nicht dargestellten Bodens und durch gleichzeitiges Aufrichten und Aufwölben von zwei Seitenabschnitten bis zur Zusammenfügung und dichten Verbindung der gegenüberliegenden Seitenränder und Flansche 2 geformt ist. An einer Stelle sind die aufeinanderliegenden Flansche 2 zur Bildung eines vor allem in Fig. 5 erkennbaren Durchtrittes oder Austrittes 3 nicht verbunden und bilden hier flache, durch den Auspreßdruck voneinander abhebbare Begrenzungswände 4 für den Durchtritt 3, die in Fig. 5 der besseren Deutlichkeit wegen mit einem geringfügigen Abstand zueinander dargestellt sind.A squeezable container, generally designated 1, each shown in the various exemplary embodiments only in its region facing away from its bottom or middle section, hereinafter also referred to briefly as container 1, is made from a single, stiff but flexible flat material blank made of coated cardboard, which is formed by bulging and shaping the bottom, not shown, and by simultaneously erecting and bulging two side sections until the opposite side edges and flanges 2 are joined and sealed. At one point, the flanges 2 lying one on top of the other are not connected to form a passage or outlet 3, which can be seen particularly in FIG. 5, and here form flat boundary walls 4 for the passage 3 that can be lifted off from one another by the extrusion pressure, which in FIG are shown at a slight distance from each other.

Man erkennt in Fig. 5 deutlich, daß an den Rändern die Flansche 2 dicht verbunden sind. Der Durchtritt 3, der im Bereich der Schnittlinie V - V in Fig. 4 und an entsprechender Stelle der übrigen Figuren angeordnet ist, mündet in eine vor Gebrauch geschlossene ebenfalls mit umlaufenden Flanschen versehene, abtrennbare Zunge 5.5 that the flanges 2 are tightly connected at the edges. The passage 3, which is arranged in the region of the section line V - V in FIG. 4 and at a corresponding point in the other figures, opens into a separable tongue 5, which is also closed and has circumferential flanges before use.

Um nach dem Abtrennen der Zunge einen gerichteten und sicher geführten Strahl einer auspreßbaren Flüssigkeit zu erreichen, hat der Austritt oder Durchtritt 3 an wenigstens einer seiner flachen Begrenzungswände eine in Austrittsrichtung verlaufende vorgeformte Aufwölbung 6, die einen Führungskanal 7 für die Flüssigkeit bildet, welcher bis in den abtrennbaren Bereich der Zunge 5 verläuft.In order to achieve a directed and safely guided jet of a squeezable liquid after the tongue has been separated, the outlet or passage 3 has at least one of its flat boundary walls a pre-shaped bulge 6 which extends in the outlet direction and forms a guide channel 7 for the liquid which extends up to the detachable area of the tongue 5 runs.

In Fig. 5 sind sogar zwei derartige Führungskanäle 7 nebeneinander dargestellt, wobei der linke derartige Kanal durch eine einzige Aufwölbung 6 einer der Begrenzungswände 4 gebildet ist. An dem in Fig. 5 rechts befindlichen Führungskanal 7 erkennt man, daß auch beide den Austritt 3 begrenzenden Wandungen 4 an einander entsprechenden Stellen voneinander weggewandte Aufwölbungen 6 für einen entsprechend größeren Querschnitt des Führungskanales 7 haben können. Dabei erkennt man gleichzeitig, daß diese kanalbildenden Aufwölbungen 6 zweckmäßigerweise durch jeweils im Querschnitt voneinander bzw. von der gegenüberliegenden Begrenzungswand 4 weggerichtete Rillungen gebildet sein können, die sehr einfach in einen Kartonzuschnitt eingeformt werden können. Die Aufwölbung 6 bzw. der dadurch gebildete Führungskanal 7 kann gemäß Fig. 1 bzw. auch gemäß Fig. 2 rechtwinklig zu der durch zwei die Zunge 5 begrenzende, einander gegenüberliegende Kerben markierte Trennkante verlaufen. Dadurch entsteht bei einem Behälter 1 gemäß Fig. 1 ein einziger gerade gerichteter Austrittsstrahl während bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 zwei parallele, jedoch definierte derartige Strahlen beim Auspressen entstehen können, die sogar unter Umständen durch ein Abheben des zwischen ihnen liegenden Bereiches der Begrenzungswände 4 ineinander übergehen können.5 even shows two such guide channels 7 next to one another, the left such channel being formed by a single bulge 6 of one of the boundary walls 4. The guide channel 7 on the right in FIG. 5 shows that both the walls 4 delimiting the outlet 3 can also have bulges 6 facing away from one another at corresponding locations for a correspondingly larger cross section of the guide channel 7. At the same time, it can be seen that these channel-forming bulges 6 can expediently be formed by grooves which are directed away from one another in cross-section or from the opposite boundary wall 4 and which can be very easily molded into a cardboard blank. According to FIG. 1 or also according to FIG. 2, the bulge 6 or the guide channel 7 formed thereby can run at right angles to the separating edge marked by two notches delimiting the tongue 5 and lying opposite one another. This results in a single straight-directed exit jet in a container 1 according to FIG. 1, while in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 two parallel, but defined, such jets can arise during the squeezing, which may even result from the region of the boundary walls 4 lying between them being lifted off can merge.

Statt der beiden parallel verlaufenden Führungskanäle 7 können gemäß Fig. 3 und 4 auch in Austrittsrichtung schräg zueinander angeordnete Führungskanäle 7 vorgesehen sein, um ein besseres Zielen auf eine Stelle zu ermöglichen, dennoch aber die Austrittsmenge erhöhen und /oder die Kanalquerschnitte verkleinern zu können. Dabei ist es möglich, daß der zwischen den beiden Führungskanälen 7 befindliche Bereich der Begrenzungswände 4 durch den Austrittsdruck etwas aufgespreizt wird, so daß letztlich ein insgesamt etwa konischer Kanal entsteht, der eine besonders gute gezielte Entnahme erlaubt und erleichtert.Instead of the two parallel guide channels 7, guide channels 7, which are arranged obliquely to one another in the exit direction, can also be provided according to FIGS. 3 and 4, in order to enable better targeting at one point, but nevertheless increase the exit quantity and / or reduce the channel cross sections. It is possible that the area of the boundary walls 4 located between the two guide channels 7 is expanded somewhat by the outlet pressure, so that ultimately an overall approximately conical channel is created which allows and facilitates particularly good targeted removal.

Die Bedienung des auspreßbaren Behälters 1 kann dadurch verbessert sein, daß die abreißbare Zunge 5 über eine Aufreißhilfe mit dem Behälter verbunden ist, die beispielsweise in Form der Kerben 8 realisiert sein kann. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, daß statt dessen oder zusätzlich als Aufreißhilfe eine quer zu dem oder den Führungskanälen 7 verlaufende Rillung vorgesehen ist, entlang welcher die Zunge 5 abgerissen werden kann.The operation of the squeezable container 1 can be improved in that the tearable Tongue 5 is connected to the container via a tear-open aid, which can be implemented, for example, in the form of the notches 8. However, there is also the possibility that instead of or additionally as a tear-open means, a groove running transversely to the guide channel or channels 7 is provided, along which the tongue 5 can be torn off.

In allen Ausführungsbeispielen ist außerdem noch eine Ausgestaltung des Behälters 1 von ganz erheblicher Bedeutung für eine gute und gezielte Entnahmemöglichkeit dargestellt, die darin besteht, daß der Mündungsbereich mit dem oder den Führungskanälen 7 und die Zunge 5 an einem gegenüber dem Behälter 1 vorstehenden Vorsprung 9 angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, nach dem Entfernen der Zunge 5 diesen Vorsprung 9 beispielsweise in eine enge Öffnung oder sogar in den Mund einzuführen und mit Hilfe der Führungskanäle 7 die Flüssigkeit gezielt zu entnehmen. Dies kann vor allem bei der Verwendung des Behälters 1 als Einmalbehälter zum Trinken während eines Wettkampfes oder zur Einnahme eines Medikamentes vorteilhaft sein. Ferner kann dadurch der Behälterinhalt, beispielsweise auch ein Pulver oder eine sonstige Masse bequem in ein größeres Gefäß umgefüllt werden, das vielleicht aber eine verengte Öffnung hat, weil der Vorsprung 9 dann in diese Öffnung etwas eingeführt werden kann.In all of the exemplary embodiments, an embodiment of the container 1 is also shown to be of very considerable importance for a good and targeted removal option, which consists in that the mouth region with the guide channel or channels 7 and the tongue 5 are arranged on a protrusion 9 projecting relative to the container 1 is. This makes it possible, after removal of the tongue 5, to insert this projection 9, for example, into a narrow opening or even into the mouth and to remove the liquid in a targeted manner with the aid of the guide channels 7. This can be particularly advantageous when the container 1 is used as a disposable container for drinking during a competition or for taking a medication. Furthermore, the contents of the container, for example a powder or some other mass, can be conveniently transferred to a larger vessel, which may have a narrowed opening because the projection 9 can then be inserted somewhat into this opening.

Claims (9)

1. A squeezable container particularly for liquid filling matter, produced from a single stiff but pliant, flat piece of material cut to size consisting of coated cardboard and formed by a centre portion or base of the initially flat cut-out being arched and shaped preferably inwardly and by two side portions being simultaneously raised and arched until the opposed side edges and flanges of said side portions are joined and tightly connected, the mating flanges not being connected at at least one place to compose a flat passage or outlet (3) and compose flat defining walls (4) for the passage or outlet which are capable of being cleared from one another through the pressure of squeezing, said passage ending in a removable tongue (5) closed prior to use, characterized in that the outlet or passage (3) has at at least one of its flat defining walls (4) a pre-formed arch (6) which extends in the direction of discharge and forms a guide channel (7) extending into the removed area of the tongue (5).
2. The container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the two walls (4) defining the outlet (3) have at tallying locations arches (6) averted from one another.
3. The container as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that the channel-like deformations or arches (6) of the defining walls (4) are formed by scorings directed away from one another in cross-section.
4. The container as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the guide channel(s) (7) extend approximately at right angles to the separating edge of the removable tongue (5).
5. The container as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that provision is made for at least two guide channels (7) which are possibly parallel or in particular are disposed at an angle to one another in the direction of discharge.
6. The container as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the detachable tongue (5) is connected to the container (1) by way of an aid for ripping, e.g. notches (8).
7. The container as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that a scoring extending at right angles to the guide channel(s) (7) is provided as the aid for ripping.
8. The container as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tongue (5) is enlarged relative to the passage (3) and/or the edge flanges (2) so as to be taken hold of better and torn off more easily.
9. The container as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the mouth area together with the guide channel(s) (7) and tongue (5) are disposed on a projection (9) protruding relative to the container (1).
