Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorratsflasche für Haushaltsflüssigkeiten, insbesondere als Verpackung für Waschmit­tellösungen und andere Haushaltschemikalien.The present invention relates to a storage bottle for household liquids, in particular as packaging for detergent solutions and other household chemicals.

Haushaltsflüssigkeiten, wie Spülmittel, Waschmittel, aber auch Nahrungsmittel, wie z.B. Öl und Essig, werden in Flaschen aus Kunststoff vertrieben. Diese stellen bei der Abfallbeseitigung ein Problem dar.Household liquids such as detergents, detergents, but also foods such as Oil and vinegar are sold in plastic bottles. These pose a problem in waste disposal.

Diese Flaschen sind relativ starr, d.h. sie behalten bei der Entsorgung ihr Volumen bei und verursachen somit im Haushalt, beim Abtransport, beim Recycling oder auf der Halde hohen Platzbedarf.These bottles are relatively rigid, i.e. they retain their volume during disposal and thus take up a lot of space in the household, during transport, recycling or on the heap.

Für Wasch- oder Spülmittellösungen wurde daher schon vorgeschla­gen, flach liegende Beutel mit einem dazu senkrecht ange­schweißten verschließbaren Einfüllstutzen und mit einem gedoppelten Bodenrand an jeder Verpackungshälfte zu versehen, zwischen die sich in gefülltem Zustand ein separat eingefügter Boden legt und die Hälften auseinanderdrückt, um so ein Stehen zu ermöglichen. Diese Beutel sind wegen des senkrecht zur Seiten­fläche stehenden Verschlusses schwer handhabbar bzw. schwer zu befüllen und in der Herstellung relativ kostspielig.For detergent or dishwashing detergent solutions, it has therefore already been proposed to provide flat-lying bags with a closable filler neck welded to them perpendicularly and with a double bottom edge on each half of the packaging, between which, when filled, a separately inserted bottom lies and presses the halves apart, so that To allow standing. These bags are difficult to handle or difficult to fill because of the closure which is perpendicular to the side surface and are relatively expensive to manufacture.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich daher die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Vorratsflasche für die obengenannten Zwecke zu schaffen, die stehfähig ist, von oben befüllt werden kann und nach Entleeren mühelos zu einem flachen, nahezu luftbefreiten Gebilde zusammen­gedrückt werden kann.The present invention has therefore set itself the task of creating a storage bottle for the above purposes, which is standing, can be filled from above and can be easily compressed into a flat, almost air-free structure after emptying.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt bei einer Vorratsflasche aus vorzugsweise extrudiertem Kunststoff mit Hilfe der nachstehenden Konstruktionsmerkmale

  • a) die Flasche weist einen ellipsoiden Querschnitt mit zwei Außenflächen, sowie einen Boden auf,
  • b) kopfseitig ist an die Flasche eine verschließbare Einfüllöffnung angeformt,
  • c) die Flasche weist als Übergang zwischen den Außen­flächen und dem Boden waagerechte Abstellkanten auf,
  • d) der Kunststoff ist so gewählt, daß die Flasche durch ihre Formgebung in ungefülltem Zustand eigenstabil ist, der Boden jedoch flexibel.
This problem is solved with a storage bottle made of preferably extruded plastic with the help of the following design features
  • a) the bottle has an ellipsoidal cross-section with two outer surfaces and a bottom,
  • b) a closable filling opening is formed on the top of the bottle,
  • c) the bottle has horizontal storage edges as a transition between the outer surfaces and the bottom,
  • d) the plastic is selected so that the bottle is inherently stable due to its shape in the unfilled state, but the bottom is flexible.

Zur Herstellung wird zunächst in an sich bekannter Weise ein Kunststoffschlauch extrudiert und unten geschlossen. Danach wird er von den Formhälften umfaßt und unter Druck an deren Innen­wandung angelegt. Die Formhälften weisen eine den oben genannten Merkmalen entsprechende Raumform auf.For production, a plastic tube is first extruded in a manner known per se and closed at the bottom. Then it is enclosed by the mold halves and placed under pressure on the inner wall. The mold halves have a spatial shape corresponding to the above-mentioned features.

Durch die Wahl des ellipsoiden Querschnitts entsteht eine eigenstabile Flasche mit einem weichen instabilen Boden, der von der beidhälftig entsprechend umlaufenden Boden-Abstellkante nach innen absteht. Beim Befüllen hängt der Boden ebenso wie beim Anheben einer gefüllten Flasche nach unten durch. Beim Abstellen auf eine (ebene) Unterlage drückt sich der ausgebeulte Boden problemlos in das elastische Flascheninnere, ggf. ist hierfür eine entsprechende Luftreserve über der Flüssigkeit zu belassen.The choice of the ellipsoidal cross-section creates an inherently stable bottle with a soft, unstable base that protrudes inwards from the bottom half of the bottom support edge. When filling, the bottom sags just as when lifting a filled bottle down. When it is placed on a (flat) surface, the bulged bottom easily presses into the elastic interior of the bottle; if necessary, an appropriate air reserve must be left above the liquid.

Nach dem Entleeren können die ellipsoiden Hälften unter Verdrängen der in der Flasche befindlichen Luft nahezu kraftlos aufeinandergelegt werden und beanspruchen beim Entsorgen im wesentlichen nur noch den Rauminhalt zweier aufeinander gelegter Folien.After emptying, the ellipsoidal halves can be placed on one another almost without force, displacing the air in the bottle, and essentially only take up the space of two foils placed on top of one another during disposal.

Um das Zusammenlegen weiter zu erleichtern, wird vorgeschlagen, mindestens auf einer Außenfläche parallel beabstandet zu den Kanten oder dem Randbereich zwischen den beiden Außenflächen eine sich bis in den Bodenbereich erstreckende Faltsicke vorzusehen, die auch gleichzeitig die eingeklappte Außenfläche ellipsoid konkav gewölbt stabilisiert, d.h. ein ungewolltes Aufspringen verhindert, da diese mit dem vorgenannten Rand verkniet.In order to further facilitate folding, it is proposed to provide at least on one outer surface parallel to the edges or the edge region between the two outer surfaces a folding bead which extends into the bottom region and which at the same time also stabilizes the folded outer surface in an ellipsoidally concave manner, i.e. an unwanted popping prevents because this knots with the aforementioned edge.

Der Boden soll, wie oben angedeutet, lappig weich sein. Um auch bei starrerem Material eine solche Materialeigenschaft zu gewährleisten, wird vorgeschlagen, diesen gewellt auszuführen.As indicated above, the floor should be lobularly soft. In order to ensure such a material property even in the case of more rigid material, it is proposed that the material be corrugated.

Bewährt haben sich für den vorliegenden Zweck Kunststoffe, wie reißfestes Polyethylen, Polypropylen oder dergleichen für das Recycling geeignete Materialien. Diese werden mit Schlauchwand­stärken zwischen 40 - 50 µ extrudiert und durch Blasen auf Wandstärken von etwa 10 bis 40 µ gereckt.For the present purpose, plastics, such as tear-resistant polyethylene, polypropylene or the like, have proven suitable for recycling. These are extruded with tube wall thicknesses between 40 - 50 µ and stretched by blowing to wall thicknesses of around 10 to 40 µ.

Besonders geeignet sind sogenannte Ko-Extrudate wobei zwei Folien aneinander anliegend extrudiert werden. Vorgezogen wird hierbei eine Kombination aus Niederdruck- und Hochdruck-Polyethylen. Es sind aber auch Verbundmaterialien, wie Polyethylen mit Poly­propylen einsetzbar.So-called co-extrudates are particularly suitable, with two foils being extruded adjacent to one another. A combination of low pressure and high pressure polyethylene is preferred. However, composite materials such as polyethylene with polypropylene can also be used.

Die Stabilität der Flasche kann weiterhin durch Zusammenbringen der ellipsoiden Hälften zu einer vollen V-Naht erhöht werden. Diese kann mitgeformt sein, es ist aber auch möglich, die Hälften miteinander zu verschweißen.The stability of the bottle can be further increased by bringing the ellipsoidal halves together to form a full V-seam. This can be molded, but it is also possible to weld the halves together.

Da das gewählte Material nicht eigenstabil genug ist, um Etiketten maschinell leicht auftragen zu können, wird vorge­schlagen, diese in bekannter Weise im In-Mold-Verfahren in der Form mit den Flaschenaußenflächen zu verbinden.Since the selected material is not inherently stable enough to be able to easily apply labels by machine, it is proposed that the shape of the labels be connected to the outer surface of the bottle using the in-mold method.

Vorzugsweise besitzt die Flasche einen Schraubverschluß, wobei das Gewindeteil am Flaschenhals im gleichen Arbeitsgang wie die Formgebung mitgeformt wird.The bottle preferably has a screw cap, the threaded part on the bottle neck being molded in the same operation as the shaping.

Es ist grundsätzlich möglich, die Flaschen mit Griffmulden zu versehen. Diese sind jedoch so zu gestalten, daß sie den Vorgang des Zusammenlegens nicht behindern.In principle, it is possible to provide the bottles with recessed handles. However, these must be designed so that they do not hinder the process of merging.

Deswegen wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, die Flasche oder die Griffmulden zu strukturieren, insbesondere mit einer Noppung zu versehen.For this reason, it is also proposed to structure the bottle or the recessed handles, in particular to provide it with a knot.

Beim Zusammenlegen der Flaschenhälften von Hand oder durch vom anderem Abfall ausgeübten Druck, stellt die Verschraubung einen Widerstand dar, der insbesondere durch benachbarten Abfall nicht überwunden werden kann. Es ist daher erforderlich, die Schraub­kappe ebenso wie beim Zusammenlegen um den Luftaustritt zu ermöglichen, vor dem Wegwerfen zu entfernen.When the bottle halves are folded by hand or by pressure exerted by other waste, the screw connection represents a resistance that cannot be overcome, in particular, by neighboring waste. It is therefore necessary to remove the screw cap just like when folding it to allow air to escape before throwing it away.

Um das Gewinde selbst ebenfalls zusammenlegbar zu gestalten, wird vorgeschlagen, dieses mit Einschnitten zu versehen, wobei insbesondere eine Kehlnaht herzustellen ist, der zwei um z.B. 90° versetzte gerade Einschnitte zuzuordnen sind. Beim Zusammenlegen des Gewindeteils legen sich die Kehlnahthälften aufeinander, wohingegen die Einschnitte aufgeweitet werden.In order to make the thread itself collapsible as well, it is proposed to provide it with incisions, in particular a fillet weld having to be made by two e.g. Straight incisions offset by 90 ° can be assigned. When the threaded part is folded, the fillet weld halves lie on top of each other, whereas the incisions are widened.

Letztlich wird noch vorgeschlagen, die Außenflächen mit Knicklinien zu versehen, die als Versteifung wirken und gleichzeitig eine ansprechende Formgebung ermöglichen.Ultimately, it is also proposed to provide the outer surfaces with crease lines that act as stiffening and at the same time enable an attractive shape.

Anhand der beiliegenden Figuren wird die vorliegende Erfindung beispielhaft näher erläutert:

  • Fig. 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Vorratsflasche in Seitenansicht;
  • Fig. 2 zeigt eine Bodenansicht.
The present invention is explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying figures:
  • Fig. 1 shows a storage bottle according to the invention in side view;
  • Fig. 2 shows a bottom view.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Flaschenhälfte in Seitenansicht mit ihrer Außenfläche 1. Oben befindet sich der Hals als Einfüllöffnung 2 mit der Ringnut 3. Das Flaschenoberteil kann mit einer ausstei­fenden Rippung 4 versehen sein.Fig. 1 shows a side view of a bottle half with its outer surface 1. At the top is the neck as a filling opening 2 with the annular groove 3. The bottle top part can be provided with a stiffening rib 4.

Parallel zu den außen umlaufenden Kanten 5 ist eine Sicke 6 dargestellt, die das Zusammenlegen der Flaschenhälften erleich­tert und durch den Abstand zur Kante 5 eine Verknickung bewirkt, die die eingeschlagene Flaschenhälfte festhält. Zur Mittellinie hin nach innen versetzt sind Knicklinien 7 dargestellt, die die Flaschenhälften aussteifen. Am rechten Flaschenrand ist eine Griffmulde 8 dargestellt. Diese kann durch mitgeformte Noppen versehen oder ersetzt sein.A bead 6 is shown parallel to the outer circumferential edges 5, which facilitates the folding together of the bottle halves and, due to the distance from the edge 5, causes a kink which holds the bottle half in place. Kink lines 7 are shown offset towards the center line, which stiffen the bottle halves. A recessed grip 8 is shown on the right-hand edge of the bottle. This can be provided or replaced by molded knobs.

Der Boden wird durch die Abstellkanten 9 gebildet, die über die Rundung 10 oder über Ecken in die Sicken 6 auslaufen. Die Abstellkanten sind vorzugsweise durch Formgebung versteifte, insbesondere nach innen eingeknickt. An die Abstellkante 9 schließt sich die lappige Bodenfläche 11 an, die hier mit einer Wellung 12 versehen ist.The bottom is formed by the storage edges 9, which end in the beads 6 via the curve 10 or corners. The storage edges are preferably stiffened by shaping, in particular buckled inwards. The lug-shaped bottom surface 11 adjoins the storage edge 9, which is provided with a corrugation 12 here.

Die Flasche ist hier im angehobenen Zustand gezeigt, d.h. die Bodenfläche hängt nach unten sackförmig durch.The bottle is shown here in the raised state, i.e. the floor area sags downward like a sack.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Flaschenboden von unten. Man erkennt die Abstellkanten 9, an die sich nach innen die Wellung 12 der Bodenfläche 11 anschließt. Längs der Linie 13 ist der vor der Formgebung extrudierte Kunststoffschlauch verschweißt. Die an die Abstellkanten anschließenden Außenflächen (Fig. 1) gehen hier in winklig zulaufende V-Nähte 14 über, die die Formstabilität erhöhen.Fig. 2 shows the bottom of the bottle. One can see the storage edges 9, to which the corrugation 12 of the base surface 11 adjoins inwards. Along the line 13 is the front of the Forming extruded plastic tube welded. The outer surfaces adjoining the storage edges (FIG. 1) here merge into angled V-seams 14, which increase the dimensional stability.
