Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an airtight closing device for the delivery opening of a container.
  • the invention concerns a device for substantially airtightly closing several times the delivery opening of a container, specially of a dispenser of sanitary tissues or similar moist material, in order to avoid evaporation of the liquids it is impregnated with.
  • a first type of containers is the one made of rigid plastic material to be used with tissues which engage to one another in a way that the removal of the first tissue causes the end of the subsequent one to be drawn to the removal position.
  • a solution to this problem is the one represented by flexible containers, e.g. of the type as that described in the patent EP-B-0030348 filed by NAKAMURA.
  • the closing device consists of a limb of flexible and impermeable material positioned in correspondence with the delivery opening of the container and provided with a layer of pressure adhesive of the repositionable type.
  • Said element is fastened in a permanent manner to the container, by way of permanent bonding or adhesive, in correspondence with one of its ends, in a position far from the delivery opening. Furthermore to this adhesive limb a closing "cap” is fastened, consisting of an element made of the same material as the container and generally obtained by die-cutting along a closed line the aforesaid delivery opening.
  • the realisation of such a container involves an operation of permanent bonding or glueing of the closing limb to the container surface, an operation which, besides being expensive and complicated, may also deform container and limb in the fastening area and may moreover introduce a different thickness from that of the repositionable adhesive.
  • the patent EP-B-0247031 filed by CHANG, presents a closing device for flexible containers comprising a closing limb, only provided with repositionable adhesive, wherein there are provided two side small tongues in correspondence with the opposite side with respect to the lifting side of said limb, to form a hinging line which stops the lifting course, in absence of bonding stripes or permanent adhesive in said position.
  • An object of the present invention is that of solving the aforesaid problems by proposing a closing device for flexible containers of the aforedescribed type which allows to perform several closing operations substantially maintaining airtightness for the whole useful life of the container.
  • a device for substantially airtight closure of an opening in a container, specially in a dispenser of sanitary tissues or similar moist material of the type comprising a first flexible closing element, repositionable, arranged in correspondence with the delivery opening of said dispenser and with the area surrounding it; and a second flexible closing element, obtained by die-cutting said delivery opening, having position and size corresponding to those of said opening, said first element being fastened to said dispenser and to said second closing element by means of pressure-fixable removable adhesive, characterized in that: said first flexible element is provided with a uniform layer of said pressure-fixable removable adhesive only and comprises, on the opposite side with respect to the lifting side, two or more shaped nicks, defining as many portions of flexible element which remain adhering to the container during the lifting of the flexible element and present a longitudinal course with free end turned towards the start edge of the lifting, the outlines of said portions not intersecting the perimetral line of said first element; in that said portions are aligned perpendicular
  • Figure 1 shows a flexible container 1 for sanitary tissues provided with a delivery opening 2 foreseen on the upper wall 3 of the container.
  • a first closing element 4 constituted by a limb of flexible material provided on its front side with removable pressure fixable adhesive.
  • a small grip tongue 8 On the lifting side there is a small grip tongue 8 whose lower portion is preferably but not necessarily free of adhesive.
  • the closing element 4 comprises at least two nicked portions 5 which extend longitudinally towards the lifting side, obtained by die-cutting a backwardly open line or by other similar operations.
  • the closing element 4 is temporarily fixable to the upper wall 3 of the container, and repositionable theron, after each opening by means of said pressure adhesive.
  • the adhesive of known type commercially available, is applied to the closing element 4, but can obviously be applied on the surface 3 of the container 1 as well in correspondence with the area involved by said closing element 4.
  • the portions 5 are positioned inside the closing element 4, this means that the die-cut lines do not intersect the perimetral line of the closing element 4 and result to be perpendicularly aligned with the lifting direction of the closing element 4 to form a hinging line where the stop of said closing element 4 takes place during its lifting and around which the element 4 is then rotated to make the access to the content easier and finally to close the container.
  • the portions 5 advantageously present a large base in correspondence with the non cut back part to favour the stop of the closing element 4 during lifting.
  • the portions 5 stop the lifting of the closing element 4, avoiding possible tearings thereof and favour its rotation as far as a position allowing the delivery of the content.
  • the closing element 4 is fastened to a second flexible closing element 6, having size substantially corresponding to that of the opening 2 and constituting a closing "cap” fastened to said first element 4 in correspondence with the opening 2.
  • Said second element 6 is preferably made of the same material as the container 1, obtained from the die-cutting of the opening 2, and generally forms a single piece with the surface 3 of the container, being fastened to the latter by means of a not die-cut portion 7 of the perimeter of the opening 2.
  • not die-cut portion 7 extends substantially beyond said hinging line defined by the portions 5.
  • the not die-cut portion 7 is aligned with said hinging line defined by the portions 5 to cooperate to the stop of the closing device during lifting.
  • Figure 2 represents in plan the closing element 4 superimposed to the second closing element 6, the latter being identified by a dashed line, according to the preferential embodiment shown in figure 1, wherein the portions 5 are defined by not closed cut lines with curvilinear ends, turned inwards, which extend along arcs of circumference.
  • Said arrangement provides the closing element 4 with excellent resistance to tearings during the lifting stage of same as far as the hinging line defined by said portions 5.
  • the internal position of the portions 5, with respect to the perimetral edge of the closing element 4, allows the stop and subsequent rotation of the latter in correspondence with a precise and effective hinging line, avoiding possible tearings and favouring better airtightness of the closing device for the whole duration of the useful life of the container.
