Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-chamber container for pourable substances, in particular liquids, in which the interiors of a first and a second container part are separated from one another by at least one film and a device is provided for severing the film.
  • containers which allow separate storage of several substances and in which the substances can be mixed shortly before use.
  • One of the known multi-chamber containers (DE-GM 77 07 618) consists of two superposed, releasably connected cans, which are guided against each other and are held at a distance from each other so that a film separating their interiors can be separated by reducing the distance between the cans is. The distance can be reduced by turning if, according to a development of the known multi-chamber container, the cans are provided with a thread.
  • this known multi-chamber container is quite complex to manufacture.
  • Another known multi-chamber container (EP-PS 0 101 594) consists of a one-part bottom container and a one-part head container, which are separated from one another by a separating film.
  • a punching tool is provided which is adapted to the cross section of the container and which pierces the separating film when the bottom container is deformed.
  • a relatively large amount of force is required to pierce the separating film.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a multi-chamber container which can be produced with little effort and which is easy to fill and easy to handle when mixing and using the substances.
  • the multi-chamber container according to the invention is characterized in that a spindle is provided in the first container part, on which the device for severing is rotatably mounted, and that a rotatable actuating device is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the device for severing.
  • the multi-chamber container according to the invention is suitable for holding various pourable substances.
  • a preferred application is in the packaging of hair dyes, with the first container part a peroxide solution and the paint is stored in the second part of the container.
  • a further development of the multi-chamber container according to the invention is that the actuating device and the device for severing are axially displaceable relative to one another and that the actuating device is secured against axial displacement. This further improves the manageability of the multi-chamber container according to the invention.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the multi-chamber container according to the invention consist in that the actuating device has an annular part and that the annular part partially surrounds the first container part and is designed as a standing ring.
  • the actuating device further has a pivot which is mounted in an axially running bore of the spindle and whose end pointing into the interior of the first container part is designed as a driver for the device for severing. It is advantageous that the pivot is provided with a circumferential bead, which together with a circumferential groove in the bore represents an axial securing of the actuating device.
  • At least one sealing ring can be provided on the spindle.
  • the spindle has a steep thread.
  • the device for severing has a spindle nut and at least one arm, which extends in the radial and axial direction and whose end facing away from the spindle nut is designed as a cutting edge.
  • a plurality of arms can be provided, which are connected to one another in a ring shape in the area of the cutting edges.
  • the device for severing can have devices for improving the mixing of the substances, in particular guide vanes.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the multi-chamber container according to the invention is that the container parts are each closed on the surface facing the other container part with a foil, that one of the container parts has a circumferential edge and that the other container part is provided with a snap ring encompassing the circumferential edge is. On the one hand, this ensures simple assembly of the container parts after they have been filled. On the other hand, there is one secure sealing of the containers against each other and to the outside.
  • the removal of the mixed substances is facilitated in that the first container part can be crushed.
  • an advantageous embodiment is that the second container part has a removal opening and that the inner wall of the second container part is provided with ribs at least in the region of the removal opening.
  • the multi-chamber container shown in Fig. 1 consists of a first container part 1 - hereinafter called the lower part - and a second container part 2 - hereinafter called the upper part. Both parts are made of plastic in a manner known per se. The interiors of the container parts are separated from one another by foils 3, 4, so that one container part each holds a substance.
  • the upper part 2 comprises a removal opening 5 which can be closed with a rotary closure 6.
  • a circumferential edge 7 is provided on the upper part 2, while the lower part is provided with a snap ring 8 which slides over the circumferential edge 7 of the upper part 2 when the container parts are joined, is radially deformed and contracts again as soon as the annular Paragraph 9 has exceeded the circumferential edge 7.
  • a spindle 10 which is connected in one piece to the lower part and has a steep thread 11.
  • a spindle nut 12 which is also made of plastic and has arms 13, 14, the ends of which bear a ring 15 which is provided with two cutting edges 16, 17.
  • an actuating device 18 which has a pin 19 which is mounted in an axial bore of the spindle 10. Furthermore, the actuating device is designed as a ring 20, which can be easily gripped for rotation with one hand while the other hand holds the multi-chamber container.
  • the ring 20 encloses a part of the lower part which is designed with a smaller radius. This creates a circumferential shoulder 21 on which the ring 20 is supported. This and a corresponding design of the lower edge of the ring 20 ensures a secure stand of the multi-chamber container.
  • the non-rotatable connection (for example in the form of a square or hexagon) between the pin 19 and the spindle nut 12 is made axially displaceable. Furthermore, the actuating device 18 is secured against axial displacement or falling out by a circumferential bead 22 which engages in a circumferential groove 23. A sealing lip 24 seals the interior of the lower part 1 from the bore in the spindle.
  • the assembly and filling of the multi-chamber container according to the invention takes place as follows: The device for cutting through the film is inserted into the lower part 1, the spindle nut 12 being screwed onto the spindle 10. Then the actuator 18 is inserted into the bore of the spindle 10 until it snaps into place. The lower part can then be filled and welded with a film 3. The closure cap 6 is screwed onto the upper part 2, whereupon the upper part 2 is filled upside down and welded to the film 4. The two container parts are then pressed against each other so that the snap ring 8 snaps over the peripheral edge 7.
  • the ring 20 is rotated by a little more than one turn relative to the lower part 1, the cutters 16, 17 moving upward along the outer wall of the lower part 1.
  • the cutting edge dips into the foils and cuts them in a circle.
  • the two substances are mixed by shaking vigorously.
  • the square or hexagon is shorter than the thread 11, so that the spindle nut 12 remains on the spindle when the foils 3, 4 are severed.
  • the device for severing the film thus remains in its place when the container is shaken. After loosening the cap 6, the mixture can be removed by gently crumpling the upside down container.
  • Polypropylene or polystyrene is suitable as the material for the upper part 2 and the actuating device 18.
  • the crushable lower part 1 can be made of polyethylene. Another selection of materials adapted to the respective intended use is left to the person skilled in the art.
  • the container parts and the actuating device per se are designed similarly to the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
  • the upper part 2 is designed to be crushable.
  • the device for severing the film also differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1. Namely, the cutting edges 25, 26 are arranged on a cutting ring body 27, which consists of a ring 28 and four arms, of which three arms 29, 30, 31 are shown. The arms are provided with guide vanes 32, 33 to improve the mixing process.
  • a further seal 36 is arranged in a circumferential groove 34 of the pin 35.
  • the lower part 37 and the ring 38 are designed somewhat differently, but this has essentially only an aesthetic effect.
  • a plurality of ribs 39, 40 are provided on the inner wall of the upper part 2. This prevents the cut-out film from covering the removal opening 5 and thus impairing the emptying of the container.
  • Fig. 2 only two ribs are shown; the number and shape of the ribs in detail can be selected within the scope of the expert.
