Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verpackungsbehälter aus Kunststoff in Form eines umgedrehten, nach unten offenen Bechers für flüssige Produkte, insbesondere für Sahne, dessen Bodenöffnung durch einen Deckel oder eine Folie verschlossen ist, dessen Oberseite eine Ausgießöffnung aufweist, und mit einer konischen, sich nach oben verjüngenden Seitenwand.The invention relates to a packaging container made of plastic in the form of an inverted, downwardly open cup for liquid products, in particular for cream, whose bottom opening is closed by a lid or a film, the top of which has a pouring opening, and with a conical, tapering upwards Side wall.

Ein solcher Verpackungsbehälter ist aus den deutschen Offenlegungsschriften 3640040 und 3337456 bekannt. Bei diesen bekannten Verpackungsbehältern ist das Griffteil verhältnismäßig klein ausgeführt, so daß es schwer von Hand zu greifen ist und damit die Bedienung des Behälters Geschick bedarf.Such a packaging container is known from the German patent applications 3640040 and 3337456. In these known packaging containers, the handle part is made relatively small, so that it is difficult to grip by hand and thus the operation of the container requires skill.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es einen Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß er von Hand leicht gefaßt werden kann.The object of the invention is to improve a packaging container of the type mentioned so that it can be easily grasped by hand.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein Bereich der Seitenwand eine schräge Abflachung aufweist, deren Ebene die Behälteroberseite aber nicht die Behälterunterseite schneidet, und daß aus der Anflachung längs der mittleren Fallinie ein Griffteil nach außen herausragt.This object is achieved in that an area of the side wall has an oblique flattening, the level of which is not the top of the container Bottom of the container cuts, and that a handle part protrudes outwards from the flat along the middle fall line.

Der Griffteil dieses Behälters kann aufgrund der seitlichen schrägen Anflachung ausreichend groß gestaltet werden, so daß er von Hand leicht gefaßt werden kann. Darüberhinaus ist ein solcher Behälter konstruktiv einfach und leicht herstellbar. Ferner können Behälter und Griffteil formschön gestaltet werden.The handle part of this container can be made large enough due to the lateral oblique flattening, so that it can be easily grasped by hand. In addition, such a container is structurally simple and easy to manufacture. Furthermore, the container and handle can be designed in an elegant way.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Griffteil die Form einer senkrechten Scheibe hat. Hierbei können die zwei Seitenflächen des Griffteils zueinander parallel sein. Alternativ kann aber auch der Abstand der zwei Seitenflächen des Griffteils voneinander nach unten hin wachsen.It is particularly advantageous if the handle part has the shape of a vertical disc. Here, the two side surfaces of the handle part can be parallel to each other. Alternatively, however, the distance between the two side surfaces of the handle part from one another can also grow downwards.

Vorzugsweise wird vorgeschlagen, daß die zwei Seitenflächen des Griffteils dreieckförmig sind. Hierbei kann die äußere obere Ecke des Griffteils abgerundet sein.It is preferably proposed that the two side surfaces of the handle part are triangular. Here, the outer upper corner of the handle part can be rounded.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Anflachung ellipsenabschnittförmig ist. Auch kann die Anflachung teilweise oder vollständig konkav gewölbt sein.It is particularly advantageous if the flattening is elliptical. The flattening can also be partially or completely concave.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 eine Seitenansicht,
  • Figur 2 eine Ansicht von oben,
  • Figur 3 eine zweite Seitenansicht und
  • Figur 4 eine perspektivische Ansicht von schräg oben.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and will be described in more detail below. Show it
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view,
  • FIG. 2 shows a view from above,
  • Figure 3 is a second side view
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view obliquely from above.

Der Verpackungsbehälter hat im wesentlichen die Form eines geraden nach oben sich verjüngenden Kegelstumpfes, so daß die Seitenwand 1 über den größten Umfang des Behälters konisch geformt ist. Die waagerechte Oberseite 2 des Behälters ist geschlossen und hat außermittig einen tiefergelegenen Bereich 3, an dem ein Stutzen 4 vorsteht, der eine Ausgießöffnung bildet, die durch einen abnehmbaren, insbesondere abreißbaren Deckel 6 verschlossen ist, der nach dem Abreißen wieder einsetzbar ist.The packaging container has essentially the shape of a straight truncated cone, so that the side wall 1 is conically shaped over the largest circumference of the container. The horizontal top 2 of the container is closed and has an eccentrically lower area 3, on which a nozzle 4 protrudes, which forms a pouring opening which is closed by a removable, in particular tear-off lid 6, which can be used again after tearing off.

Die waagerechte Unterseite 7 des Behälters ist während der Behälterherstellung offen und wird nach dem Füllen durch das flüssige Produkt, insbesondere Sahne durch einen angeschweißten Deckel 8 oder eine Folie ähnlich einem umgedrehten Joghurtbecher verschlossen.The horizontal underside 7 of the container is open during the manufacture of the container and, after being filled by the liquid product, in particular cream, is closed by a welded-on lid 8 or a film similar to an inverted yoghurt cup.

Die Seitenwand 1 weist auf der dem Stutzen 4 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine schräge Anflachung 9 auf, die die Oberseite 2 aber nicht die Unterseite 7 schneidet. Der Winkel α dieser Anflachung gegenüber der Waagerechten beträgt 40 bis 80 Grad. Bei einem verhältnismäßig steilen Winkel von α = 65 bis 80 Grad kann das untere Ende der teilovalen oder ellipsenabschnittförmigen Anflachung 9 verhältnismäßig tief und damit nahe dem Deckel 8 liegen und bei einer geringeren Steigung kann das untere Ende höher mit größerem Abstand zum Deckel 8 sein. Je nach dem, wie weit die Anflachung 9 den Kegelstumpf schneidet, ist die Anflachungsfläche größer oder kleiner.The side wall 1 has an oblique flat 9 on the side opposite the connecting piece 4, which intersects the upper side 2 but not the lower side 7. The angle α of this flattening with respect to the horizontal is 40 to 80 degrees. At a relatively steep angle of α = 65 to 80 degrees, the lower end of the partially oval or elliptical section-shaped flat 9 can be relatively deep and thus close to the cover 8, and with a smaller slope, the lower end can be higher with a greater distance from the cover 8. Depending on how far the flat 9 intersects the truncated cone, the flat surface is larger or smaller.

Längs der mittleren Fallinie der Anflachung 9 steht ein senkrechtes Griffteil aus der Anflachung 9 radial nach außen vor. Das Griffteil 10 hat damit die Form einer senkrechten Scheibe, wobei die Seitenflächen 10a, 10b entweder zueinander parallel sind oder etwas voneinander weg nach unten hin geneigt sind. Die Seitenflächen 10a, 10b können jeweils dreieckförmig sein, wobei vorzugsweise die äußere obere Ecke 11 jeder Dreieckform abgerundet ist.Along the middle fall line of the flat 9, a vertical grip part radially protrudes from the flat 9 left out. The grip part 10 thus has the shape of a vertical disc, the side surfaces 10a, 10b either being parallel to one another or being inclined slightly away from one another downwards. The side surfaces 10a, 10b can each be triangular, the outer upper corner 11 of each triangular shape preferably being rounded.

Vorzugsweise weist jede Seitenfläche 10a, 10b Riffelungen 12 auf, um das Griffteil 10 besser greifen zu können. Statt Riffelungen können auch andere Arten von Erhebungen oder kleinen Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein.Each side surface 10a, 10b preferably has corrugations 12 in order to be able to grip the grip part 10 better. Instead of corrugations, other types of elevations or small recesses can also be provided.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Anflachung bis auf einen oberen Endbereich 9a eben. Vorzugsweise kann die Anflachung 9 aber auch nach innen gewölbt sein.In the exemplary embodiment, the flattening is flat except for an upper end region 9a. Preferably, the flat 9 can also be curved inwards.

In der Oberseite 2 kann noch eine weitere Einwölbung 13 vorgesehen sein, die sich zum Stutzen 4 hin öffnetA further arch 13 can be provided in the top 2, which opens towards the nozzle 4
