Abstract

The invention relates to a pack for filling materials which are capable of flow, comprising a tube which is formed by at least one longitudinal sealing seam and which has a bottom and a top mounted to the ends thereof, of which the top has a pouring opening in the vicinity of its outer edge, wherein the tube comprises carrier material, for example cardboard, which is coated with thermoplastic material at least on one side, and the bottom is quadrangular and is formed from the folded-over tube of the pack in the form of a fold closure.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung für fließfähige Füllgüter mit einem durch mindestens eine Längssiegelnaht gebildeten Tubus, an dessen Enden Boden und Deckel angebracht sind, von denen der Deckel in der Nähe seiner Außenkante eine Ausgießeinrichtung aufweist, wobei der Tubus aus mindestens einseitig mit thermoplastischem Kunststoff beschichtetem Trägermaterial, z.B. Karton, besteht, der Boden viereckig ist und aus dem umgefalteten Tubus der Packung als Faltverschluß ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a package for flowable fillings with a tube formed by at least one longitudinal sealing seam, at the ends of which bottom and lid are attached, of which the lid has a pouring device in the vicinity of its outer edge, the tube being made of carrier material coated at least on one side with thermoplastic plastic , for example cardboard, which is, the bottom is quadrangular and is formed altverschluß from the folded-over tube of the pack as F.

Es sind bereits Flüssigkeitspackungen ähnlich der vorstehend beschriebenen Packung bekannt. Bei diesen ist der Dekkel rund und besteht aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff ohne Trägermaterial, so daß der Deckel am oberen Rand des Tubus angespritzt wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die bekannte Packung nur mit größerem Aufwand herstellbar ist und wegen unterschiedlich gekrümmter Flächen im Bereich des Tubus schlecht auf Paletten zusammengefaßt und transportiert werden kann. Die Ausgießöffnung der bekannten Packung befindet sich im Zentrum des runden Deckels, so daß stets ein hochstehender Kragen an der Ausgießöffnung erforderlich ist, weil anderenfalls die Flüssigkeit in der Packung nicht in gewünschter Weise ausgegossen werden kann. Durch den hohen Kragen der Ausgießeinrichtung wiederum ergeben sich andere Stapelprobleme, insbesondere wenn mehrere Packungen übereinander geschichtet werden sollen.Liquid packs similar to the pack described above are already known. In these, the lid is round and consists of thermoplastic material without a carrier material, so that the lid is molded onto the upper edge of the tube. It has been shown that the known package can only be produced with great effort and, due to differently curved surfaces in the region of the tube, it is difficult to combine and transport it on pallets. The pouring opening of the known package is located in the center of the round lid, so that an upstanding collar is always required at the pouring opening, because otherwise the liquid in the package cannot be poured out in the desired manner. The high collar of the pouring device in turn gives rise to other stacking problems, particularly when several packs are to be stacked on top of one another.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher die Verbesserung der bekannten Packung dahingehend, daß bessere Ausgieß- und Stapelmöglichkeiten und dennoch eine preiswerte Herstellung der Packung möglich sind.The object of the invention is therefore to improve the known package in such a way that better pouring and stacking options and nevertheless inexpensive production of the package are possible.

Dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Deckel mindestens vier Ecken und mindestens eine erste und eine zweite Ebene aufweist, die einen Winkel einschließen und von denen die erste Ebene parallel zur Ebene des Bodens liegt, und daß mindestens die zweite Ebene aus dem Tubusmaterial gebildet ist.This object is achieved in that the lid has at least four corners and at least a first and a second plane, which enclose an angle and of which the first plane is parallel to the plane of the bottom, and that at least the second plane is formed from the tube material.

Es ist zwar bereits vorgeschlagen worden, auch den Deckel einer Flüssigkeitspackung ähnlich der eingangs genannten Art viereckig auszugestalten und die Ausgießöffnung nahe einer der vier Ecken anzubringen, dieser Deckel bestand aber ebenfalls aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff ohne Trä- germaterial und mußte längs im Raum schief verlaufender Linien an|den Oberkanten des Tubus angespritzt werden. Die Packung gemäß der Erfindung hingegen hat einen__aus zwei Ebenen gebildeten Deckel, wobei mindestens die zweite Ebene aus dem gleichen Material hergestellt ist wie der Tubus. Außer der Materialeinsparung bei Verwendung des nicht für die Tubusbildung notwendigen Materials ergibt sich erfindungsgemäß der weitere Vorteil, daß die Packung in ihrem oberen Teil in der Nähe des Deckels verjüngt zuläuft, so daß sich das Volumen des Füllgutes zum Deckel hin verringert. Betrachtet man das Problem der verbesserten Ausgießeigenschaften der erfindungsgemäßen Packung, dann spielt besonders die Länge des Flüssigkeitspegels in Gießrichtung eine Rolle, und zwar ausgehend von derjenigen Stelle an der Oberkante der Packung, an welcher die Ausgießeinrichtung ange- bracht ist und von dieser fort zur Deckelmitte hin. Durch die von der Seite der Packung gesehene Abschrägung oder das verjüngte Zulaufen des Packungsoberteils wird diese Länge verringert. Bei dem Ausgießen bedeutet dies, daß die Packung schräger angestellt werden kann, d.h. die dem Stand vordere Ebene oder Linie unter der Ausgießtülle aus der Senkrechten stärker in die Horizontale geneigt werden kann als bei herkömmlichen Packungen, bei denen die Oberfläche der Flüssigkeit größer als bei der Erfindung ist. Das Gießen ist deshalb erfindungsgemäß zweckmäßiger und günstiger, weil sich durch das schrägere Anstellen vor dem ersten Ausgießen der vollständig gefüllten Packung der Gießstrahl von der Gießkante der Ausgießtülle besser abtrennt, so daß mit Sicherheit ein Heruntertropfen an der Fläche oder Kante unter der Ausgießtülle der Packung verhindert wird.It has already been proposed, including the lid of a liquid pack similar to the aforementioned A rt square to design and install the pouring near one of the four corners, but this cover was also made of thermoplastic material without T RAE germaterial and had along wrong in the room running Lines on the upper edges of the tube are injected. The package according to the invention, however, has a _ _aus two levels lid formed, wherein at least the second level of the same material is prepared as the tube. In addition to saving material when using the material not required for tube formation, there is the further advantage according to the invention that the packing tapers in its upper part in the vicinity of the lid, so that the volume of the filling material decreases towards the lid. Considering the problem of improved pouring properties of the package according to the invention, then particularly the length of the liquid level passes in the direction of casting a part, and starting from that point on the upper edge of the pack at which the pouring b reasonable is racht and away from the center of lid there. This length is reduced by the bevel seen from the side of the pack or by the tapering of the top of the pack. When pouring this means that the package can be tilted, ie the level or line in front of the stand under the pouring spout can be inclined from the vertical more horizontally than in conventional packages in which the surface of the liquid is larger than that of the Invention is. The pouring is therefore more expedient and cheaper according to the invention, because the inclined position before the first pouring of the completely filled package separates the pouring jet better from the pouring edge of the pouring spout, so that it is certain to drip on the surface or Edge under the pouring spout of the pack is prevented.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es erfindungsgemäß ferner, wenn die Ausgießöffnung nahe einer Ecke angebracht ist und die zweite Ebene des Deckels dieser Ecke diametral gegenüberliegt. Zwar ist erfindungsgemäß grundsätzlich auch daran gedacht, bei einem von oben gesehen viereckigen Deckel die Ausgießöffnung zwischen zwei Ecken aber an der Außenkante anzuordnen, es hat sich aber als besonders praktisch erwiesen, wenn die Ausgießöffnung an eine der Ecken des von oben gesehen viereckigen Deckels verlegt wird. Um die vorstehend beschriebene Länge von der Ausgießstelle in der Kippebene der Packung beim Gießen in Richtung zur gegenüberliegenden Deckelecke zu verkürzen bzw. die Oberfläche der auszugie- ßenden Flüssigkeit zu verkleinern, wird dann die zweite Ebene des Deckels, die im Stand der noch nicht geöffneten, gefüllten Packung gegen die Horizontale geneigt ist, auf die der Ecke an der Ausgießeinrichtung gegenüberliegende Seite verlegt. Mit anderen Worten ist das Oberteil der Pakkung dadurch, wenn man sie von der Seite betrachtet, praktisch diagonal abgeschnitten. Auch hierdurch wird wieder der Vorteil erreicht, daß der Kippwinkel für die Packung, bevor der Ausgießstrahl die Ausgießöffnung erstmal verläßt, vergrößert werden kann. Die vorstehende Ausführungsform mit der Anordnung der Ausgießöffnung an einer Ecke und der Abschrägung gegenüberliegend erbringt herstellungstechnische Vorteile, weil die Faltung des aus dem beschichteten Papiermaterial hergestellten Tubus sparsame und günstige Umgestaltungen erlaubt. Beispielsweise kann eine doppelt gelegte Rippe zur Versteifung des Deckels oder zur Anbringung von Hebegriffen oder dergleichen verwendet werden.It is also particularly advantageous according to the invention if the pouring opening is arranged near a corner and the second plane of the lid is diametrically opposite this corner. Although, according to the invention, it is fundamentally also contemplated to arrange the pouring opening between two corners but on the outer edge in a square lid seen from above, it has proven to be particularly practical, however, if the pouring opening is moved to one of the corners of the square lid seen from above . To the above-described length of the pouring means in the tilting plane of the pack during the casting towards the opposite D corner lick to shorten or reduce the surface of the auszugie- sequent fluid, then the second plane of the lid, which is not yet opened in the prior filled packing is inclined against the horizontal, on the side opposite the corner on the pouring device. In other words, when viewed from the side, the top of the package is practically cut diagonally. This also has the advantage that the tilt angle for the package can be increased before the pouring jet leaves the pouring opening. The above embodiment with the arrangement of the pouring opening at one corner and the bevel opposite provides manufacturing advantages because the folding of the tube made of the coated paper material allows economical and inexpensive modifications. For example, a double-folded ebegriffen rib for stiffening the cover or for attaching H or the like can be used.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es erfindungsgemäß besonders., zweckmäßig, wenn an der zweiten Ebene des Deckels ein Griff angebracht wird. Zwar ist bereits die Anbringung eines Griffes bei ähnlich ausgestalteten Packungen vorgeschlagen worden, in Verbindung mit dem Deckel aus dem Tubusmaterial handelt es sich aber vorstehend um eine vollständig neuartige Maßnahme, welche ein leichtes Ausgießen und eine gute Handhabung der Packung unter geringem Materialaufwand ermöglicht.In this context, it is particularly advantageous according to the invention if a handle is attached to the second level of the cover. Although the attachment of a handle to packs of a similar design has already been proposed, the connection with the cover made of the tube material is a completely new one above ge measure, which allows easy pouring and good handling of the pack with little material.

Praktisch allen Ausführungsformen gemeinsam ist der allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Tubus der Packung, welcher vier Seitenwände bildet, die in den Figuren 4 und 5 mit 1a, 1b, 1c und 1d bezeichnet sind, wobei in den anderen Figuren nur jeweils zwei der vier Seitenwände gezeigt sind. Man erkennt die Rechteckform der Seitenwand 1b in den Figuren 2 und 4 und die Trapezform der anderen Seitenwände bzw. die einseitig abgeschrägte Form der Seitenwand 1b bei der Ausfüh- rungsform nach den Figuren 1, 3 und 6. Die vier "Seitenwände 1a - 1d werden über die Längssiegelnaht 2 zum Tubus 1 geformt. Diese kann vorn unter der Ausgießöffnung 5 (Figur 1) oder hinten im gegenüberliegenden Bereich der Packung liegen, wie in Figur 6 gezeigt ist.Practically all embodiments have in common the tube of the pack, generally designated 1, which forms four side walls, which in FIGS. 4 and 5 are labeled 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d, only two of the four side walls being shown in the other figures . The rectangular shape of the side wall 1b can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 4 and the trapezoidal shape of the other side walls or the one tig tapered shape of the side wall 1b in the A usfüh- approximate shape of Figures 1, 3 and 6. The four "side walls 1a - 1d are formed on the longitudinal sealing seam 2 to the tube 1. This can in front of the pouring opening 5 (Figure 1) or. are at the back in the opposite area of the pack, as shown in FIG.

Der allgemein mit 3 bezeichnete Boden ist in bekannter Weise gebildet und daher hier nur in den Figuren 2 und 3 durch den unteren Strich angedeutet, hinter welchem die Ebene des Bodens 3 liegt.The bottom, generally designated 3, is formed in a known manner and is therefore only indicated here in FIGS. 2 and 3 by the bottom line, behind which the level of the bottom 3 lies.

Der allgemein mit 4 bezeichnete Deckel hat bei einigen Ausführungsformen vier Ecken 41, 42, 43 und 44 (Figur 4), bei anderen Ausführungsformen hingegen sechs Ecken 41 - 46 (Figur 1). Der Deckel wird bei den in den Zeichnungen gezeigten Ausführungsformen durch zwei Ebenen gebildet, nämlich eine erste Ebene 20 und eine zweite Ebene 21, die mit der ersten Ebene 20 einen Winkeloc einschließt. Die erste Ebene 20 liegt parallel zur Ebene des Bodens 3, die zweite Ebene 21 zeigt daher die in Seitenansicht gemäß den Figuren 2, 3, 6 und 7 nach oben verjüngt sich verengende Packung bzw. den im wesentlichen diagonal weggeschnittenen oberen Teil der Packung. Mindestens die zweite Ebene 21 ist durch Faltung des hier nicht gezeigten Zuschnittes für den Tubus gebildet und besteht daher aus dem gleichen Material, nämlich vorzugsweise auf beiden Oberflächen mit Kunststoff beschichtetem Papier oder Karton. Es ist aber auch möglich, die erste Ebene 20 und die zweite Ebene 21 beide aus dem Tubusmaterial herzustellen und durch Faltungen an den Tubus 1 anzusetzen.The lid, generally designated 4, has four corners 41, 42, 43 and 44 (FIG. 4) in some embodiments, but has six corners 41-46 (FIG. 1) in other embodiments. In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the cover is formed by two levels, namely a first level 20 and a second level 21, which includes an angle oc with the first level 20. The first level 20 lies parallel to the level of the base 3, the second level 21 therefore shows the pack narrowing upwards in the side view according to FIGS. 2, 3, 6 and 7 or the essentially diagonally cut away upper part of the pack. At least the second level 21 is formed by folding the blank (not shown here) for the tube and therefore consists of the same material, namely preferably paper or cardboard coated with plastic on both surfaces. However, it is also possible to produce the first level 20 and the second level 21 both from the tube material and to attach them to the tube 1 by folding.

Man erkennt, daß bei den Ausführungsformen 1 bis 6 die Ausgießöffnung 5 sich nahe der sogenannten vorderen Ecke 41 des Deckels 4 befindet. Bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 4 liegt diese Ausgießöffnung in der Mitte beispielsweise zwi- schen den Ecken 42 und 41 oder 41 und 44, aber an der diese Ecken verbindenden Kante. In jedem Falle liegt die Abschrä- gung bzw. Volumenverminderung des oberen Teils der Packung stets von der Ausgießöffnung 5 gesehen in diejenige Richtung hin, die von der Vorderspitze der Ausgießöffnung, wo die Flüssigkeit zuerst die öffnung verläßt, fortgerichtet ist. In allen Darstellungen der Figuren 1 bis 3 und 6, 7 ist die vordere Spitze der Ausgießöffnung 5 rechts oben angeordnet und folglich die Abschrägung nach links unten verlaufend.It can be seen that in the embodiments 1 to 6 the pouring opening 5 is located near the so-called front corner 41 of the cover 4. In the embodiment of Figure 4, this pouring opening is in the middle, for example be- s chen the corners 42 and 41 or 41 and 44, but at these corners connecting edge. In each case, the A is bschrä- Supply or volume reduction of the upper part of the package always seen from the pouring opening 5 in the direction which is directed away from the front tip of the pouring opening, where the liquid first leaves the opening. In all the representations of FIGS. 1 to 3 and 6, 7, the front tip of the pouring opening 5 is arranged at the top right and consequently the bevel runs to the bottom left.

In den Figuren 3, 5 und 6 sieht man ferner eine Kartonrippe 22, die durch Faltung der zweiten Ebene 21 gebildet ist und einen günstigen Verankerungsteil beispielsweise für einen Griff 23 bietet, der in Figur 6 gezeigt ist.FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 also show a cardboard rib 22 which is formed by folding the second level 21 and which offers a favorable anchoring part, for example for a handle 23, which is shown in FIG. 6.
