Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for holding a liquid, in particular a hot liquid, with a container inner part which serves to hold the liquid, with rib-like spacing elements which protrude from the outside of the inner part and extend practically in the axial direction of the container, and with a container outer part.
  • Containers of this type are already known and they mostly serve as drinking containers. Such containers are disclosed for example in US-A 4261501 and in LU-A 59288.
  • the wall of the inner part of the container according to US-A 4261501 extends contiguously between the top of the mouth roll and the bottom of the container, the wall having the shape of the shell of a cone.
  • the wall of the inner part has ring-shaped or band-shaped and smooth sections.
  • furrows lying next to one another are carried out, with a rib rising in each case from two adjacent furrows from the outside of the inner part of the container.
  • the ridges or crests of these ribs lie within that outer contour of the wall of the inner part, which is given by the smooth or undeformed edge regions of the inner part wall.
  • the aim is to use as little material as possible for the individual components of such a container. It should be saved in particular on the material of the inner container part, because the inner part is made of a non-renewable material.
  • the outer part is made of paper or similar and such materials can be easily recycled.
  • a disadvantage of the previously known container according to US-A 4261501 is that the inner container part must have a relatively thick wall so that the ribs and furrows can be formed in the inner container part. Furthermore, the height of the sleeve-shaped outer part must be almost the same as the height of the inner part, so that the outer part can be fastened in the region of the smooth sections of the inner part. This means that a lot of material must also be used for the outer part of this previously known container.
  • LU-A 59288 discloses a second container of the type mentioned.
  • the inner part of this container has two in a row switched sections that have different conicity.
  • a circumferential bead is made in the inner part.
  • An outer part of the container, which serves as a grip ring, is practically only as high as the upper section of the inner container part.
  • the grip ring has on its lower edge an edge directed towards the inside of the cup, which latches in the bead and thereby prevents the grip ring from slipping off the upper section of the cup.
  • the inner part of the container must be stiff enough so that it does not collapse after filling with the hot beverage. This presupposes that the inner part of the container is thick-walled. The consequence of this is that a lot of valuable material is also used to produce the same. There is also a risk that the user of the container burns his fingers in the lower and unprotected area of the inner part of the container.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a container which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and which additionally offers advantages.
  • the container shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can serve as a drinking cup for hot drinks.
  • the container has an inner part 1 and an outer part 2, which are assigned to one another.
  • the inner container part 1 contains a base body 5, which essentially represents the lateral boundary of the inner container part 1.
  • Above the base body 5 is a mouth roller 6 of known design.
  • the inner container part 1 is closed at the bottom with a foot part 7.
  • the inner container part 1 is formed by a single layer of a liquid-tight material.
  • a plastic for example, can serve as such a material, which among other things should also be as odorless as possible.
  • the inner part 1 is advantageously produced from a single piece of material, in particular by deep drawing. Thanks to the design of the container disclosed here, there is no need to take any account of the stability and / or heat insulation capacity of the inner container part 1. The thickness of the simple wall of this inner part 1 can therefore only be selected to be so large that this wall just has the strength required to hold the hot liquid.
  • the base body 5 of the inner container part 1 comprises a wall 8 and spacer elements 9, which are formed on the outside of this wall 8 and which protrude or protrude from the outside of this wall 8.
  • the base 5 of the container also includes a bead 10 which extends along the lower end or edge of the base 5 or closes it off at the bottom.
  • the bead 10 thus runs in a circular manner and the center of this circle lies on the axis of rotation of the inner container part 1.
  • the bead 10 is hollow and, like the spacer elements 9, it projects out of the wall 8 of the base body 5.
  • the bead 10 has an angular or U-shaped cross section, which points towards the inside of the inner part 1 opens.
  • the height of the bead 10 above the outside of the base body wall 8 is greater than the height of the spacer elements 9.
  • At least the wall 8 of the base body 5 is designed as the casing of a cone, in which the base surface with the larger diameter is at the top and the base surface with the smaller diameter is at the bottom.
  • the edge portion of the base body wall 8, which lies in the area of the base of the cone with the larger diameter, is deformed into the mouth roller 6 already mentioned.
  • the base area of the base body wall 8, which has the smaller diameter, is provided with the bead 10.
  • the foot part 7 is designed as a sleeve which has a low and essentially cylindrical side wall 11.
  • the upper mouth of the foot part or sleeve wall 11 merges into the lower end of the base body 5 by connecting to the lower side or edge 101 of the bead 10.
  • the lower mouth of the sleeve wall 11 is closed with a bottom 12.
  • this can have the shape of the shell of a cone.
  • the inclination of this conical wall 11 can be in the same sense, albeit at a different angle, as the inclination of the base body wall 8 run.
  • the inclination of the conical base part wall 11 can also run in a direction which is opposite to the inclination direction of the base body wall 8.
  • the foot part wall 11 then forms a counter cone with respect to the base body wall 8.
  • the foot part wall 11 has the shape of a counter cone. This can be seen in FIG. 1, for example, from the inclination of the lateral contour lines 111 of the base part wall 11, which are opposed to one another with respect to the contour lines 81 of the base body wall 8.
  • the lower edge or wall 101 of the bead 10 which is higher than the lower edge part 16 of the foot part 11, has a smaller diameter than the lower foot part edge part 16.
  • the design of the wall 11 of the foot part 7 as a counter-cone enables, among other things, the individual containers to be removed from a stack without problems. This is because the lower edge part 16 of the respective upper container rests on the practically horizontal lower wall 101 of the bead 10 of the respective lower container. This ensures that distance between the side walls of the adjacent containers in a stack that prevents the side walls of these containers from adhering to one another.
  • This shoulder 17 comprises a shoulder 171, which is formed by a narrow strip of the material of the bottom wall 12.
  • This strip 171 runs in a circle, the center of this circle being on the axis of rotation of the inner container part 1.
  • the main surfaces of the strip 171 are inclined with respect to the plane of the bottom 12.
  • the outer edge of the strip 171 adjoins an annular bottom portion 172 which extends from this shoulder 171 to the edge 16 of the foot part 7.
  • the remaining part 173 of the base 12 adjoins the inner edge of the strip 171, the outer contour of which is thus circular.
  • the strip 171 rises above the inside of the annular bottom section 172. This has the consequence that the circular section 173 of the bottom 12 is higher than the annular bottom section 172.
  • the circular base section 173 thus lies in the interior of the inner container part 1 and the inclined base strip 171 brings about the required stiffening of the base 12.
  • bulges 13 are made in the sleeve wall 11.
  • a plurality of stiffening elements 13 are distributed along the sleeve wall 11 and are located at constant or different distances from one another.
  • the respective stiffening element 13 is one of the Sleeve wall 11 outwardly protruding point.
  • the boundary 14, which separates the undeformed region of the sleeve wall 11 from that wall section 15 which provides the stiffening effect, has a shape which at least resembles the shape of a parabola.
  • a boundary 14 running in this way is oriented such that the legs 18 of this boundary 14 adjoin the lower edge or side 101 of the bead 10 or merge into the lower wall 101 thereof.
  • the crest or the arcuate section 19 of the boundary 14 of the stiffening element 13 lies at a distance from the bottom edge 16 of the foot part 7.
  • the stiffening of the foot part 7 by the specified shape of the sleeve wall 11 and by the bulges 13 is necessary because of an extraordinarily high pressure load on the wall 11 of the foot part 7. This is because the weight of that liquid which rests on the base body 5 is transferred to the wall 11 of the foot part 7 via the lower limit 10 of this base body 5. This influence of weight is actually concentrated by the conical shape of the base body 5 on the foot part 7 having a small diameter.
  • the high temperature of the filled liquid also reduces the rigidity of the material of the foot part 7.
  • the stiffening measures described prevent the wall 11 of the foot part 7 from deforming under these circumstances.
  • the spacer elements 9 are designed as elements protruding outwards from the plane of the base body wall 8.
  • the spacer elements 9 are designed as bulges which protrude from the outside of the wall 8. They are essentially hollow.
  • the cavity in these spacer elements 9 opens towards the inside of the inner container part 1.
  • Such bulges 9 can advantageously be achieved by deforming the base body wall 8.
  • the deep-drawing process known per se can be used for this purpose.
  • the spacer elements 9 have the shape of ribs, the cross section of which is practically triangular.
  • the ribs 9 are straight and they run almost parallel to the axial direction of the inner container part 1. The deviation from this direction is due to the taper of the base body wall 8.
  • Such ribs 9 are spaced apart along the base body wall 8.
  • the intermediate sections 20 of the wall 8 have a cross section which is practically arch-shaped.
  • the upper ends 21 of the ribs 9 are at a distance from the mouth roller 6, while the lower rib ends 22 are in the immediate vicinity of the bead 10 on the base body 5 or even touch the bead 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows a plan view of a section of the base body wall 8 of the inner container part 1, which has a special design.
  • this wall section is shown in a cross section.
  • the base body wall 8 has the shape of the shell of a cone.
  • the ribs 9 with which such a wall 8 is provided extend practically in the axial direction of the inner container part 1. The consequence of this is that the ribs 9 lying next to one another do not run parallel to one another.
  • the angle alpha, which two adjacent ribs 9 close between them, is advantageously 5 degrees.
  • the cross section of the intermediate section 20 of the base body wall 8 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is composed of straight sections. These rectilinear cross-sectional sections represent cross sections of strips made of the wall material, which extend in the same direction as the ribs 9 and whose side edges are connected to one another, so that they represent the respective intermediate section 20 of the wall 8.
  • Such an intermediate section 20 has a central strip 25 which is located approximately in the middle between two adjacent ribs 9 and whose main surface is practically in the circumferential direction of the base body wall 8.
  • a side strip 26 is connected to each of the side edges of this central strip 25 whose main surface is at an angle beta with respect to the main surface of the central strip 25.
  • the side strips 26 are bent outwards relative to the central strip 25.
  • the width of all the strips 25 and 26 mentioned can be the same size and the angle Beta between the central strip 25 and one of the side strips 26 can be 60 degrees.
  • the respective rib 9 is connected to the outer edges of the side strips 26 and thus connects the outer edges of the side strips 26 of the adjacent intermediate sections 20.
  • the outside of the respective rib 9 is defined by two surfaces 27 which are at an angle gamma of approximately 30 degrees to one another. With such a small angle gamma, when deep-drawing such an inner part 1, it happens that the material 28 under these outer surfaces 27 no longer has the same thickness as the material in the region of the strips 25 and 26, but that the material 28 under the outer surfaces has the cavity rather fills between the outer surfaces 27. This results in narrow ribs 9 with a practically full cross section. An edge or a comb 29 is present where the outer surfaces 27 meet.
  • the container outer part 2 is designed as the casing of a cone, the inclination of the wall of the outer part 2 being practically the same as the inclination of the wall 8 of the base body 5. Consequently, the base body 5 of the inner container part 1 can find space in the outer container part 2.
  • the diameter of the upper mouth or opening 32 and the diameter of the lower mouth or opening 23 and the inclination of the wall of the outer part 2 are selected so that the combs 29 of the spacer elements 9 on the inner surface of the outer part 2, advantageously over their entire length , lie on.
  • the wall 8 of the base body 5 thus runs practically parallel to the wall of the outer part 2.
  • the height of the outer container part 2 and the length of the rib-like spacing elements 9 are approximately the same size, so that the outer part 2 covers the ribs 9 almost completely.
  • the container outer part 2 is made of a heat-insulating material. Recycled cardboard, foamed materials such as foamed polyethylene or polystyrene, etc. are advantageously used to produce the outer container part 2, but in principle one could also use cellulose cardboard.
  • the inside and the outside of the outer part 2 are smooth in the simplest version of the container.
  • the outside of the outer part 2 can be decorated in a suitable manner or at least printed.
  • the thickness of the wall of the outer part 2 is chosen, among other things, such that this part 2 gives the inner part 1 of the container filled with a hot beverage the rigidity required for holding and handling the container.
  • the height of the bead 10 is greater than the height of the spacer elements 9. It has also been said that the dimensions of the outer part 2 are chosen so that they rest on the combs 29 of the spacer elements 9 and cover them can. It follows that the diameter of the lower opening 23 in the outer part 2 is smaller than the diameter of the outer wall 24 of the bead 10. Since the outer part 2 is conical and because the diameter of the upper opening 32 in it is substantially larger than the diameter of the outer wall 24 of the bead 10, the outer part 2 can be placed on the inner part 1 from the foot part 7. In the last phase of this placement process, the edge of the lower edge 23 of the casing 2 comes to rest on the lower outer edge of the outer wall 24 of the bead 10.
  • the wall 24 of the hollow bead 10 and the material of the outer part 2 yield to such an extent that the lower edge 23 of the casing 2 jumps over the bead 10 and engages behind it.
  • the lower edge 23 of the casing 2 then rests on the upper wall 31 of the bead 10.
  • the inside of the casing 2 lies on the ridges 29 of the ribs 9.
  • the inner part 1 can be pressed in or deformed a little from one side, since it is thin-walled. As a result, the diameter of the bead 10 is reduced and the inner part 1 can be removed from the outer part 2.
  • the outer part 2 it is also possible to provide the outer part 2 with a tear-open tab (not shown), in which the tear path extends in the direction of one of the surface lines of the outer part 2. By pulling the pull tab, the cover 2 is torn open at one point, it opens and it can then be easily removed from the inner part 1.
  • the rectilinear and axial ribs 9 laterally delimit spaces or channels 30 in the cavity between the inner container part 1 and outer container part 2, which are essentially hollow and only filled with air. At the bottom, these spaces 30 are delimited by the top wall 31 of the bead 10 and they are open at the top, so that hot air can escape from these spaces 30 and be replaced by colder air. Since the outer part or the casing 2 rests only on the sharp edges 29 of the ribs 9, only a little heat passes from the inner part 1 to the outer part 2.
  • the spaces 31 between the ribs 9 are cooled by air circulation and, as is known, air provides a relatively good one It is consequently easy to hold such a container filled with a hot liquid in one hand.
  • Fig. 5 shows in a vertical longitudinal section the left half of two containers. These have a design which differs in some details from the design of the containers according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the cups are of the same design and one of these cups is inserted in the other cup for the purpose of stacking them. 5, like the container described above, comprises an inner part 1 and an outer part 2.
  • the inner part 1 contains a base body 5, the wall 8 of which is configured as described above. Only one of the spacer elements 9 on the base body wall 8 is shown in FIG. 5. In this case, however, the base part 8 is directly assigned to the foot part 7. This is done in such a way that the lower edge of the base body wall 8, where the spacer elements 9 also end, is adjoined by the outer edge of an intermediate floor 35.
  • This intermediate floor 35 is designed as a flat ring made of the material of the inner part 1, which is practically perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the inner part 1 and whose center lies on the axis of rotation.
  • This foot part wall 11 can be smooth in the present case.
  • the bead 10 is present in the transition area between this wall 11 and the bottom 12 of the foot part 7.
  • the lower edge of the foot part side wall 11 adjoins the inner edge of the upper wall 31 of the bead 10.
  • the ring portion 172 of the base 12 adjoins the lower outer edge 24 of the bead 10.
  • the dimensions of the foot part side wall 11 are selected such that the top wall 31 of the bead lies in the extension of the combs 29 of the spacer elements 9.
  • the length of the outer container part 2 is dimensioned such that it can extend from the upper ends 21 of the ribs 9 to the upper wall 31 of the bead 10.
  • the outer part 2 When the outer part 2 is placed on the inner part 1, the lower edge 23 of the outer part 2 is supported on the upper wall 31 of the bead 10 and the outer part 2 is thereby held on the inner part 1.
  • the first advantage of this container is that the foot part 7 is also surrounded by the heat-protecting outer part 2, a chamber 33 being present between the latter and the side wall 11, which is filled with air and which thus has a heat-insulating effect.
  • the support cams 13 (FIGS. 1 and 2) can be spared in the present case because the outer part 2 represents an additional support for the side wall 11 of the foot part 7.
  • FIG. 6 shows a detail from the bottom area of a container, the design of which largely corresponds to that of the cup according to FIG. 5.
  • the only difference compared to the container according to FIG. 5 relates to the stiffening measure in the region of the container base 12.
  • the inner edge of the ring portion 172 of the base 12 is adjoined by a central portion 174 which is curved, this central portion 174 being concave.
  • This shape of the middle section 174 ensures a bias in the bottom 12 which prevents the formation of a sag in the bottom 12 when the container is filled.
  • the described design of the spacer elements 9 ensures maximum air circulation through the channels 20. With such a drinking container, on the one hand, a maximum insulation effect is achieved and, due to the specified material combination, an optimal ecological balance can also be achieved. Because this container is largely recyclable because of the outer casing 2 made of cardboard.
