Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage bottle made of plastic for household liquids with a bottom, side folding edges, which is stable when filled and has a closable filler opening on the head side, in particular as packaging for detergent solutions and other household chemicals.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FR-A-1385639 which corresponds to the preamble of claim 1
  • collapsible, dimensionally stable bottles for household liquids which have an approximately oval cross section with flat narrow sides.
  • the narrow sides have folded-in folded edges that interact with folded-in bottom folded edges.
  • 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 after emptying into a flat, almost air-free and little springing structure.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the floor sags down as well as when removing a filled bottle.
  • the bulged bottom easily presses into the elastic inside of the bottle; if necessary, an appropriate air reserve must be left above the liquid.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the floor should be lobularly soft.
  • the material be corrugated.
  • 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 ⁇ and stretched to a wall thickness of about 10 to 40 ⁇ by blowing.
  • 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.
  • composite materials such as polyethylene with polypropylene can also be used.
  • 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.
  • the shape of the labels be connected to the outer surface of the bottle using the in-mold method.
  • the bottle preferably has a screw cap, the threaded part on the bottle neck being molded in the same operation as the shaping.
  • 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.
  • a bead 6 is shown parallel to the outer circumferential edges 5, which facilitates the folding together of the bottle halves and causes kinking due to the distance from the edge 5, that holds the half of the bottle
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the bottle is shown here in the raised state, i.e. the floor area sags downward like a sack.
  • Fig. 2 shows the bottom of the bottle.
  • the plastic tube extruded before shaping is welded along line 13.
  • the outer surfaces adjoining the storage edges merge here into angled V-seams 14, which increase the dimensional stability.
