Definitions

  • the invention relates to squeeze packaging according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • EP-A-0 305 003 attempts to counter this problem in that the inner container is attached to the outer container approximately in the central region of its axial extent and at its upper end along its circumference, with the result that the section of the discharge opening facing the Inner container under the influence of the existing excess pressure in the space between the outer container and inner container when the first overpressure is compressed, or experiences only an insignificant deformation.
  • the excess pressure leads to a deformation of the section of the inner container facing away from the discharge opening in the sense of a reduction in the volume enclosed by this section.
  • the filling material located in this section is first displaced in the direction of the discharge opening and a corresponding quantity of filling material flows outwards from the discharge opening of the packaging.
  • a further removal of filling material by correspondingly squeezing the outer container finally leads to a more or less complete emptying of the easily deformable section of the inner container facing away from the dispensing opening, so that an intermediate stage is reached, in which essentially only the section of the dispensing opening facing the dispensing opening is reached Inner container is filled with product.
  • the packaging is still approximately half full at this stage.
  • the emptying of the section of the inner container facing the dispensing opening takes place in that, under the action of the excess pressure which occurs when the bottle is squeezed together in the space between the inner container and the outer container, the section facing away from the dispensing opening is pushed and turned over into the other section facing the dispensing opening and thereby displaced in the section fastened in the outer container in the direction of the discharge opening.
  • the free, easily deformable section does not have too great an axial extension, deformations of the inner container, which lead to a constriction of parts of the filling material by the formation of pockets, can be avoided.
  • the production of the squeeze bottle according to EP-A-0 305 003 is due to the fact that the inner container is attached to the outer container, somewhat complicated and therefore expensive. Furthermore, due to the fact that the inner container is attached to the outer container at its end facing the discharge opening is the need to mount the valve, via which the space between the inner container and outer container can be connected to the outside atmosphere, in the area of the packaging facing away from the dispensing opening. This limits the possibility of designing such packaging. Overall, the handling of the inner container, which mainly consists of very thin film material, is somewhat difficult when it is attached to the outer container, especially since the outer container cannot be produced in one piece.
  • the walls of plastic containers with multiple layers, if necessary, at least one of these layers functioning as a barrier layer which is impermeable to the materials in question, that is to say to the oxygen already mentioned.
  • a barrier layer which is impermeable to the materials in question, that is to say to the oxygen already mentioned.
  • such hollow bodies made of thermoplastic material and provided with a multilayer wall are relatively expensive.
  • the inner container will therefore be provided with a barrier layer, since air and thus oxygen also get into the space between the outer container and the inner container for emptying the inner container.
  • the inner container is normally noticeably thinner than the outer container.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to design a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1 so that the disadvantages of known packaging are avoided.
  • B. formed as a squeeze bottle squeeze packaging on the one hand completely or at least almost completely emptied without difficulty, regardless of the position that it occupies during the dispensing of filling material, but on the other hand producing and assembling the pack experience no complication.
  • the packaging should not experience any restrictions with regard to its applicability and usage properties.
  • this also applies to the possibility of using already existing and tried-and-tested container shapes for the production of squeeze packaging. That is, it should be possible to accommodate an inner container in such types of packaging, the latter then taking over the function of the outer container. Furthermore, it should be possible to manufacture the outer container in one piece, even if the inner container has a cross section in the filled state that is larger than the opening of the outer container.
  • the approximately cage-like or basket-like support device essentially supports the section of the inner container which faces the dispensing opening radially, so that this section does not undergo any significant deformation under the action of a pressure difference between atmospheric pressure and the gas pressure in the space between the outer container and the inner container, which could lead to a noticeable change in the volume, in particular a reduction in the volume in this section.
  • the web-like support elements are arranged at intervals from one another in the circumferential direction, no direct radial support of the wall of the area of the inner container provided with the support device will take place in the areas of the support device between each two adjacent web-like support elements. However, this is irrelevant, since the only thing that matters is to prevent this area of the inner container from being compressed with a noticeable reduction in volume caused thereby.
  • the squeeze packaging according to the invention can also be filled in the usual way.
  • the support body is not a hindrance. It is also possible to refill the packaging after emptying and reuse it.
  • the support device will be adapted to the contour of the outer container in order to make the best possible use of the available volume.
  • the web-like support elements can be shaped in accordance with the course of the wall of the outer container.
  • the support device can also be made in one piece from thermoplastic material, for example by injection molding, including, if appropriate, the holder supporting the web-like support elements, which is generally collar-shaped or ring-shaped, so that the bag-like Inner container at its end facing the discharge opening tightly with this holder z. B. can be connected by welding or gluing.
  • the holder thus has the opening through which the filling material emerges from the inner container.
  • the ring-shaped holder for the web-shaped support elements is advantageously inserted in the opening area of the outer container, the ring-shaped holder being able to be provided with a circumferential flange at its free end, the outside diameter of which is somewhat larger than the inside diameter of the opening of the outside container, in order to achieve a positive fit. so that this flange rests on the end face of the edge delimiting the opening of the outer container.
  • the holder or its circumferential flange can then be held in the desired position by the closure part which is usually present.
  • the valve via which the space between the outer container and the inner container is ventilated, can be attached to the actual outer container, for example in the bottom thereof.
  • the ventilation valve in the closure analogously to the version according to EP-B1-0 190 169, since this leads to a simpler manufacture of the outer container.
  • air channels can be provided between the annular holder and the outer container, in particular the neck thereof, through which the connection between the ventilation valve fitted in the closure and the space between the inner container and the outer container is established.
  • Such channels can generally be formed in the manufacture of the outer container and / or the support part or the holder without requiring a special operation.
  • At least two of the web-like support elements at their end, which is turned away from the holder carrying them, are connected to a common support ring made of elastically deformable material, which is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the squeeze packaging runs.
  • This support ring which also suitably consists of plastic, is arranged approximately in the middle of the axial extent of the inner container, So at the transition between its one area, which is supported by the support device, and the other area, which is not supported and is easily plastically deformable under the action of an overpressure in the space between the outer container and inner container, displacing the contents contained therein.
  • the support device it will be necessary to provide at least three web-like support elements. In this case, it is possible not to firmly connect the web-like support element (s) going beyond two web-like support elements to the support ring in order to facilitate its deformability when assembling the parts.
  • the end region of the longitudinal web-like support elements which is not connected to the support ring is adapted to the support ring in such a way that at inside the outer container is a positive connection between the support ring and the non-connected web-like support elements.
  • the inner container on the side of its wall that comes into contact with the support ring is provided with at least one projection which is arranged on the side of the support ring facing away from the discharge opening and engages behind the latter.
  • This configuration has the advantage that a certain form fit is created between the actual inner container and the support device, so that the position of the inner container is fixed relative to the support device. It is also possible to weld or glue the inner container, if necessary additionally, to one or more of the web-shaped support elements or also to the support ring. This also determines the position of the inner container relative to the support device and thus also to the outer container.
  • the main advantage of such squeeze packaging is that the support device can be radially compressed to such an extent that the transverse dimensions of the support ring and all web-like support elements including the inner container are not larger than the cross-sectional area of the opening in the outer container in the area of their smallest cross-section or diameter.
  • the support device with the inner container carried by it can be inserted into the outer container through the opening of the outer container, web-like support elements and support ring springing back into their normal positions with or without mechanical support after passing through the opening of the outer container with or without mechanical support and at the same time expand the inner container within the outer container.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a packaging designed in the manner of a squeeze bottle with an inner container 10, an outer container 12 and a closure 14 which can be screwed or plugged onto the neck 16 of the outer container 12.
  • the outer container 12 is made in one piece.
  • the neck 16 of the same and the opening 18 delimited by it each have a diameter which is noticeably smaller than the diameter of the actual body 20 of the outer container 12.
  • the outer container 12 and inner container 10 and possibly also the closure 14 are advantageously made of plastic.
  • the outer container 12 is substantially dimensionally stable, i.e. i.e., self-supporting, but elastically deformable under the influence of manually applied forces. It can advantageously be produced from a polyolefin, for example polyethylene in a blowing process; however, other materials can be used for this.
  • the inner container 10 consists predominantly of a thin film, so that it is bag-like, i.e. that is, not self-supporting, trained and easily deformable.
  • the inner container 10 is also provided with a neck part 22, the outer diameter of which is adapted to that of the neck 16 of the outer container 12.
  • a support member 24 is further provided, which is arranged within the inner container 10.
  • this support part 24 consists essentially of four web-like support elements 25, 26, 27, 28, an essentially annular holder 30 and a support ring 32 which is arranged on the end of the web-like support elements facing away from the annular holder 30 .
  • the inner container 10 is in this embodiment with its neck region 22 on the extension 54 of the ring-shaped holder 30 firmly and tightly connected, for example by gluing or welding, as can be seen in particular in FIG.
  • the illustrated embodiment represents part or extension of the inner container 10.
  • the ring-shaped holder 30, which defines the outlet opening 39 of the inner container 10 is dimensioned and designed in such a way that it can be inserted in a suitable manner into the neck region 16 of the outer container 12.
  • To produce a positive connection it is provided at its free end with a circumferential flange 34 which, in the assembled state of the parts, engages over and lies against the end face 36 of the neck 16 of the outer container 12.
  • the web-shaped support elements 25, 26, 27, 28 are adapted to the contour of the outer container 12 with regard to their course between the annular holder 30, with which they are connected in one piece, and the support ring 32.
  • the dimensions and shape of the support ring 32 correspond approximately to those of the inner container 10 and possibly approximately to those of the inner contour of the outer container 12. Since, as will be described below, the web-like support elements 25-28 and the support ring 32 at the end of the support elements so deformable, ie must be compressible, that their total cross-section is not larger than the cross-sectional area of the opening 18 delimited by the neck 16 of the outer container 12, only two of the four web-like support elements, namely the support elements 25 and 26, are firmly connected to the support ring 32. The other two support elements 27 and 28, however, are not connected to the support ring 32, so that the latter can deform more easily when the support elements 25-28 are compressed for the purpose of inserting the support part 24 into the outer container 12.
  • both support elements 27 and 28, which may be under an outward bias, are adapted near their free end to the annular support ring 32, so that in the assembled state of the parts there is a positive connection between the support ring 32 and those not firmly connected to it web-like support elements 27 and 28 results.
  • the web 27 is shown in contact with the support ring 32, as is effected by the inner bag 10 or the outer container 12 in the assembled state of the parts.
  • the web 28 is shown in an outwardly spread position, as in the unstressed state, for. B. after production. This spread position is caused by the aforementioned bias.
  • FIG. 3 also shows the projections 37, 38 attached on the inside, which overlap the support ring 32 somewhat when the parts are assembled.
  • the support body 24 is elastically deformable and advantageously also made in one piece from thermoplastic material, for example by injection molding.
  • the wall thickness of the web-like support elements 25-28 and the thickness of the support ring 32 are selected such that these parts are readily elastically deformable, for example under the action of manual forces acting on the outer container 12, but due to their elasticity in unstressed condition the starting position shown, for example, in FIGS. 1 and 2 decrease.
  • the extension of the support part 24 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the inner container is dimensioned such that the support ring 32, which is the end of the support remote from the annular holder forms part, the inner container 10 divided into about two equal areas 40, 42.
  • the area 40 of the inner container 12 is supported by the support part 24 in such a way that, apart from the case of manually squeezing the packaging, it maintains its cross-sectional shape, whereas the area 42 is permanently deformed under the action of external forces.
  • a one-way valve 46 which only allows air to pass from outside into the space 48 between the outer container 12 and the inner container 10.
  • the closure 14 is provided with a discharge opening which can be closed by a valve 50.
  • the valve opens under the influence of excess pressure, which is effective in the inner container 10 and / or in the space 48. It closes automatically as soon as there is pressure equilibrium.
  • Such a valve is described in EP-B1-0 190 169.
  • the packaging To empty the packaging, it is pressed together more or less manually in the manner customary for squeeze bottles.
  • the forces which are applied manually by compressing the outer container 12 may also act directly on the inner container 10, so that the latter is also directly acted upon manually. Whether this occurs and to what extent will also depend on the ratio of the volume of the unloaded outer container 12 to the volume of the filled inner container 10 and thus on the volume of the space 48 between the inner container 10 and the outer container 12.
  • the outer container 12 Since the outer container 12 is elastically deformable, after the squeezing process has ended it returns to its original shape shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 7, which leads to an increase in the volume and thus in the space 48 in comparison to the previous state which the packaging was compressed. This increase in the volume of the outer container 12 causes a decrease in the pressure in the space 48, this pressure dropping below atmospheric pressure if filling material had been released from the packaging during the previous squeezing process. This negative pressure has the result that the valve 46 opens and thus air flows into the space 48 until there is a balance between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure in the space 48.
  • the forces resulting from the pressure difference between the inner container 10 on the one hand and the space 48 on the other hand are relatively low, with the result that only the region 42 of the easily plastically deformable inner container 10, which is not supported on the inside, is deformed, whereas the region 40 due to the support by the supporting part 24 undergoes no or only an insignificant deformation in the areas between the web-like support elements. It is possible, depending on where the compressive forces of the packaging act, that the support member 24 is also deformed during the squeezing process.
  • the support part 24 is elastically deformable, after the squeezing process has ended, it will resume its original shape analogously to the behavior of the outer container 12 and, as a result, the cross section of the inner container in its region 40 will be restored to the original dimensions, i. H. bring back to that of the undeformed state.
  • Fig. 5 shows a state in which a small part of the filling material has already been removed and consequently the area 42 of the inner container, the contour of which is shown in dash-dot lines in the fully filled state, has already undergone a certain volume reduction, which leads to a displacement of the filling material has led into the area 40 and from there through the holder 30 to the dispensing valve 50.
  • 5 shows in a schematic representation that in this intermediate state the easily deformable region 42, which is not supported on the inside, is somewhat compressed axially and radially.
  • FIG. 5 also shows that with appropriate dimensioning, in particular the axial extent of the easily deformable area 42 in relation to the cross-sectional dimension in the region of the support ring 32, a deformation of the area 42 such that parts of the same are constricted and thereby enclose parts of the filling material so that they can no longer be pushed towards the discharge opening, there is no fear.
  • This is also due to the fact that the support ring 32 always springs back into its starting position after being deformed by manually squeezing the packaging, thereby bringing the cross section of the inner container 10 back to its normal dimension.
  • the volume of the area 42 is in any case such that the contents therein are more or less completely displaced in the direction of the area 40.
  • the area 42 After emptying the area 42 facing away from the ring-shaped holder 30, which makes up about half the volume of the inner container, the area 42 enters the area 40 of the inner box 10 facing the ring-shaped holder 30 by squeezing the packaging, until on At the end of the emptying process, the parts assume approximately the position shown in FIG. 6. That is, that during the emptying of the area 40 of the inner container 10, which is supported by the supporting part 24 against noticeable deformation only due to the air pressure in the space 48, the area 42 of the inner container 10 penetrates into the area 40 as a kind of displacement body and displaces the filling material therein in the direction of the dispensing opening.
  • FIG. 6 in particular shows that the support ring 32 limits the extent to which the area 42 is pushed into the area 40 and the support part 24 located therein.
  • the support ring 32 serves in the last phase of the emptying process as a kind of abutment, around which the wall of the area 42 of the inner container 10 is pivoted or folded into the area 40.
  • the change in shape which the inner container 10 experiences during the course of emptying takes place in a controlled manner such that no folds can form in which parts of the filling material are pinched off.
  • Fig. 6 also shows that the packaging can be largely emptied. Possibly. parts of the contents still remaining in the neck area are within the limits that are also common and unavoidable in other packaging. The shape of the interacting parts is also important here.
  • the support ring 32 generally divides the inner container 10 approximately in half - apart from the neck area, if necessary - so that it is arranged approximately halfway up the inner container.
  • the presence of the support ring 32 also has the advantage that, after a squeezing process, the springing back of the outer container 12 into its normal shape is supported by the springing back of the support ring into its original, unstressed form, if the support ring is also in the previous squeezing process had been deformed. This also contributes to the stability of the outer container, so that it can possibly be made with a thinner wall than would be possible without the presence of the support ring. How the parts are arranged and put together depends on the respective circumstances.
  • the packaging shown in the drawing is expediently put together in such a way that first support part 24 and inner container 10 are joined together.

  • the unit produced in this way from the two prefabricated parts is then introduced into the opening 18 in the bottle neck 16 of the outer container 12, which, for example, has been produced in one piece using the blowing method.
  • the unit consisting of the support part 24 and the inner container 10 is compressed radially to such an extent that the web-like support elements 25, 26, 27, 28 and support ring 32 take up a total cross-sectional area which is not larger than that while being elastically deformed Cross-sectional area of the opening 18 in the neck 16 of the outer container 12.
  • the negative pressure can be applied, for example, using a tool which is introduced through the opening 39 in the annular holder 30 into the support part and the inner container.
  • This tool can also be used to axially insert the unit consisting of the support part 24 and the inner container 10 axially into the outer container 12, whereby for compressing the support part 24 in the area of its web-like Support elements can still attack a tool from the outside.
  • 7 shows an intermediate stage of the insertion of the unit consisting of the support part 24 and the inner container 10 into the outer container 12.
  • the compression of the web-like support elements to a cross-sectional area which is not larger than the opening in the neck presents no problems, especially since the support ring 32 is only firmly connected to two of the four web-like support elements, namely the support elements 25 and 26, so that the support ring 32, which is also made of elastically deformable plastic, can be easily brought into the shape required to insert it through the narrower bottle neck 16 into the outer container.

B. in one piece, manufactured and then assembled with the support member 24, the insertion of the support member into the inner container can also be done in such a way that the support member is first compressed and then inserted in the compressed state through the opening of the inner container in this. It is therefore a process analogous to that shown in FIG. 7.
  • the circumferential weld seam 70 can be made such that the wall of the inner container 10 in an area which is in the assembled state of the parts is located at a short distance from the end of the latter which faces away from the annular holder 30 of the support body, is provided with two opposing indentations 72 which as a result form inward projections and, as can be seen in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, reach behind the support ring 32.

Due to the thin-walled design, the support part does not take up a large volume within the packaging, so that its presence does not lead to any appreciable enlargement of the squeeze packaging.
