The second cup part (5) has a filling space of lesser depth than the first cup part (1) has, and it is arranged, in a dispatch position, with a coaxial arrangement to the first cup part (1) upside down on the latter and is joined thereto to form a unit. In this case, both cup parts (1, 5) are thermoformed from a common film blank. In the common region of the edge flanges (3, 6) located between the two cup parts (1, 5), a line of weakness forming a hinge is provided, which coincides with a line of symmetry (10) of the edge flange contour (12). In the dispatch position of the two cup parts (1, 5), the edge flanges (3, 4) lying one on the other are connected to one another in at least one spot region (11) on the side of the cup facing away from the line of weakness. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Doppelbecher aus Kunststoff für die getrennte Aufnahme von unterschiedlichen Füllgütern gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a double cup made of plastic for the separate reception of different filling goods according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Doppelbecher finden hauptsächlich im Nahrungs- bzw. Genußmittelbereich Anwendung, wobei der größere Füllraum des ersten Becherteils beispielsweise mit Quark-, Joghurt- oder Puddingzubereitungen und der kleinere Füllraum des zweiten Becherteils beispielsweise mit Cerealien, Soßen, Fruchtzubereitungen od.dgl. befüllt ist.Such double cups are mainly used in the food or luxury food sector, the larger filling space of the first cup part, for example with curd, yogurt or pudding preparations and the smaller filling space of the second cup part, for example with cereals, sauces, fruit preparations or the like. is filled.

Bei einer bekannten Doppelbecherausführung sind die Becherteile separate Einheiten, die getrennt befüllt, verschlossen und danach dadurch zusammengefügt werden, daß der zweite Becherteil kopfüber auf den ersten Becherteil aufgestülpt wird und dessen Randflansch verrastend umgreift. Ein derartiger Doppelbecher ist in seiner Herstellung aufwendig und unterliegt der Gefahr, daß sich auf Transportwegen und bei Handhabungen die Becherteile voneinander trennen.In a known double cup design, the cup parts are separate units, which are filled separately, closed and then joined together in that the second cup part is placed upside down on the first cup part and engages around the edge flange in a latching manner. Such a double cup is expensive to manufacture and is subject to the risk that the cup parts separate from one another on transport routes and during handling.

Bei einer anderen bekannten Doppelbecherausführung sind beide Becherteile aus einem gemeinsamen Folienzuschnitt tiefgezogen und haben Füllräume gleicher Tiefe, jedoch unterschiedlich großer Querschnittsfläche. Die beiden Füllräume sind durch eine gemeinsame Deckelfolie verschlossen, und in der Versandstellung liegen beide Füllräume nebeneinander und die Füllöffnungen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene. In dem für beide Becherteile gemeinsamen Randflansch ist eine ein Scharnier bildende Schwächungslinie ausgebildet, die es ermöglicht, den zweiten, kleineren Becherteil nach Abziehen der Folie umzuklappen und so das Füllgut aus seinem Füllraum in den Füllraum des ersten Becherteils zu überführen. Ein derartiger Doppelbecher nimmt eine verhältnismäßig große Grundfläche ein und bietet oberseitig eine große, beschädigungsgefährdete Deckelfolienfläche dar, die bei Stapelungen erheblichen Belastungen ausgesetzt ist.In another known double cup design, both cup parts are made from a common film blank deep-drawn and have filling spaces of the same depth, but with different cross-sectional areas. The two filling spaces are closed by a common cover film, and in the shipping position both filling spaces lie next to one another and the filling openings are in a common plane. In the edge flange common to both cup parts, a line of weakness forming a hinge is formed, which makes it possible to fold over the second, smaller cup part after pulling off the film and thus to transfer the filling material from its filling space into the filling space of the first cup part. Such a double cup occupies a relatively large base area and offers a large cover film surface which is at risk of damage and which is exposed to considerable loads when stacked.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen mit geringem Aufwand herstell-, befüll- und verschließbaren Doppelbehälter zu schaffen, der ein hohes Maß an Transportsicherheit bietet und eine geringe Grundfläche in Anspruch nimmt.The invention has for its object to provide a double container that can be produced, filled and closed with little effort, which offers a high degree of transport security and takes up a small footprint.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch einen Doppelbecher in einer Ausbildung gemäß Anspruch 1. Hinsichtlich wesentlicher weiterer Ausgestaltungen wird auf die Ansprüche 2 bis 10 verwiesen.The invention solves this problem by means of a double cup in an embodiment according to claim 1. With regard to further essential configurations, reference is made to claims 2 to 10.

Bei dem Doppelbecher nach der Erfindung sind beide Becherteile unverlierbar miteinander verbunden, wobei in der Versandstellung die beschädigungsgefährdeten Deckelfolien geschützt zwischen den Becherteilen liegen. Da die Becherteile übereinander angeordnet sind, nehmen sie nur eine verhältnismäßig geringe Standfläche bezogen auf das Füllvolumen des Doppelbechers ein, während die Ausformung beider Becherteile aus einem gemeinsamen Folienzuschnitt den Aufwand bei der Becherherstellung und bei der -handhabung gering hält.In the double cup according to the invention, both cup parts are captively connected to one another, the lid foils at risk of damage being protected between the cup parts in the shipping position. Since the cup parts are arranged one above the other, they only take up a relatively small footprint in relation to the filling volume of the double cup, while the shaping of both cup parts from a common film blank keeps the effort involved in cup production and handling low.

Der erfindungsgemäße Doppelbecher für die getrennte Aufnahme von unterschiedlichen Füllgütern, z.B. unterschiedlichen Nahrungs- und/oder Genußmitteln, die erst zum Zeitpunkt des Verzehrs miteinander vermischt werden sollen, oder z.B. chemischen Substanzen wie Komponenten von Lacken, Kunststoffen, Klebern od.dgl., die erst unmittelbar vor ihrer technischen Anwendung zusammengefügt werden dürfen, besteht aus einem ersten Becherteil 1 mit einem dessen obere Öffnung 2 umgebenden Randflansch 3 für eine dichte Verbindung mit dem Randbereich einer Becherfolie 4, und aus einem zweiten Becherteil 5 mit einem dessen obere Öffnung 7 umgebenden Randflansch 6 für eine dichte Verbindung mit dem Randbereich einer Deckelfolie 4, die eine gesonderte, von der Deckelfolie 4 für den ersten Becherteil 1 getrennte Deckelfolie oder Teil einer gemeinsamen Deckelfolie 4 für beide Becherteile 1,2 sein kann.The double cup according to the invention for the separate reception of different filling goods, e.g. different foods and / or luxury foods that are only to be mixed together at the time of consumption, or e.g. Chemical substances such as components of paints, plastics, adhesives or the like, which may only be put together immediately before their technical application, consists of a first cup part 1 with an edge flange 3 surrounding its upper opening 2 for a tight connection to the edge area of a cup film 4, and from a second cup part 5 with an edge flange 6 surrounding its upper opening 7 for a tight connection with the edge region of a cover film 4, which has a separate cover film separated from the cover film 4 for the first cup part 1 or part of a common cover film 4 for both cup parts can be 1.2.

Der erste Becherteil 1 hat einen Füllraum 8 einer größeren Tiefe, als sie der Füllraum 9 des zweiten Becherteils 5 besitzt, jedoch ist die Querschnittsfläche beider Becherteile 1,2 in Höhe ihres oberen Öffnungsrandes 2,7 untereinander gleich.The first cup part 1 has a filling space 8 of a greater depth than the filling space 9 of the second cup part 5 has, but the cross-sectional area of both cup parts 1, 2 is equal to one another at the height of their upper opening edge 2,7.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 veranschaulicht den Doppelbecher erfindungsgemäßer Ausbildung in ausgezogenen Linien in einer Stellung, wie sie sich nach dem Tiefziehvorgang ergibt und in der die Befüllvorgänge vorgenommen werden und das Verschließen der Füllräume 8,9 durch eine Deckelfolie 4 erfolgt.1 and 2 illustrate the double cup according to the invention in solid lines in a position such as is obtained after the deep-drawing process and in which the filling processes are carried out and the filling spaces 8, 9 are closed by a cover film 4.

Zwischen beiden Becherteilen 1,5 ist in dem gemeinsamen Bereich der Randflansche 3,6 eine ein Scharnier bildende Schwächungslinie vorgesehen, die mit einer Symmetrielinie 10 des Randflanschumrisses zusammenfällt. Um dieses Scharnier ist der zweite Becherteil 5 um 180° auf den ersten Becherteil 1 in eine Versandstellung umklappbar, in der beide Becherteile 1,5 eine koaxiale Anordnung zueinander haben. Dies veranschaulicht der in Fig. 1 in Strich-Doppelpunkt-Linien veranschaulichte Becherteil 5, der auch nach dem Umklappen auf den Becherteil 1 mit diesem eine Einheit bildet, bei der die Deckelfolie(n) 4 einem direkten Beschädigungszugriff entzogen sind. Zur Sicherung der beiden Becherteile 1,5 in der Versandstellung sind gegen ungewolltes Aufklappen diese auf der der Schwächungslinie abgewandten Becherseite in zumindest einem Punktbereich 11 untereinander verbunden, wobei die punktförmige Verbindung bevorzugt eine Klebverbindung, z.B. eine Hotmelt-Verbindung ist. Die Verklebung kann die zwischen den übereinanderliegenden Randflanschen 3,4 befindlichen Becherfolienränder untereinander verbinden; jedoch besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Randflansche 3,4 im Punktbereich untereinander direkt zu verbinden und hierzu bereichsweise die Deckelfolienränder auszusparen.Between the two cup parts 1.5 is in the common In the region of the edge flanges 3, 6, a weakening line forming a hinge is provided, which coincides with a line of symmetry 10 of the edge flange outline. Around this hinge, the second cup part 5 can be folded over 180 ° onto the first cup part 1 into a shipping position in which both cup parts 1, 5 have a coaxial arrangement with one another. This is illustrated by the cup part 5 illustrated in dash-and-dot lines in FIG. 1, which, even after being folded over onto the cup part 1, forms a unit therewith, in which the cover film (s) 4 are removed from direct damage access. To secure the two cup parts 1, 5 in the shipping position, they are connected to one another on the side of the cup facing away from the weakening line in at least one point area 11 against unwanted opening, the point connection preferably being an adhesive connection, for example a hot melt connection. The adhesive bond can connect the cup film edges located between the superimposed edge flanges 3, 4; however, there is also the possibility of connecting the edge flanges 3, 4 directly to one another in the point area and for this purpose omitting the lid film edges in certain areas.

Die dargestellte bevorzugte Ausführung hat einen etwa rechteckigen Randflanschumriß 12 und Füllräume 8,9 mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt, jedoch können die Füllräume 8,9 ebenfalls einen etwa rechteckigen Querschnitt erhalten.The preferred embodiment shown has an approximately rectangular edge flange outline 12 and filling spaces 8.9 with a circular cross section, but the filling spaces 8.9 can also have an approximately rectangular cross section.

Die Randflansche 3,4 weisen in der Versandstellung vorteilhaft fluchtend übereinanderliegende Innen- und Außenränder auf, so daß der Doppelbecher eine optisch besonders ansprechende Einheit bildet, in der der zweite Becherteil 5 eine harmonische Fortsetzung des ersten Becherteils 1 darstellt, und beim Umfüllen des Füllguts aus dem zweiten in den ersten Becherteil ein glatter Übergang gewährleistet ist.The edge flanges 3, 4 in the shipping position advantageously have aligned inner and outer edges, so that the double cup forms an optically particularly appealing unit, in which the second cup part 5 represents a harmonious continuation of the first cup part 1, and when decanting the filling material the second into the first cup part a smooth transition is guaranteed.

Die Füllräume 8,9 können gleichzeitig befüllt werden und nach der Befüllung durch eine gemeinsame Deckelfolie 4 oder getrennte Deckelfolien verschlossen werden. Wenn die Gefahr besteht, daß die Befüllung eines Füllraumes mit Füllgut die Befüllung des anderen Füllraumes mit unterschiedlichem Füllgut beeinträchtigt, z.B. durch eine Staubentwicklung, wie sie beim Einfüllen von Cerealien auftreten kann, dann ist der Verschluß der Füllräume durch getrennte Deckelfolien 4 zu bevorzugen. Dies bringt z.B. die Möglichkeit, daß bei Befüllen des Füllraumes 9 des zweiten Becherteils 5 der Füllraum 8 des ersten Becherteils 1 bereits befüllt und mit seiner Deckelfolie verschlossen ist und Staubpartikel aus dem Befüllvorgang des zweiten Becherteils 5 nicht mehr in den Füllraum 8 des ersten Becherteils gelangen können.The filling spaces 8, 9 can be filled at the same time and after filling through a common cover film 4 or separate cover foils are closed. If there is a risk that the filling of one filling chamber with filling material will impair the filling of the other filling room with different filling material, for example due to the dust development that can occur when filling cereals, then the closure of the filling spaces by separate cover foils 4 is preferred. This brings, for example, the possibility that when the filling space 9 of the second cup part 5 is filled, the filling space 8 of the first cup part 1 is already filled and closed with its cover film and dust particles from the filling process of the second cup part 5 no longer get into the filling space 8 of the first cup part can.

Die Randflansche 2,3 beider Becherteile 1,5 weisen eine bereichsweise Erweiterung 12,13 zur Bildung einer Grifflasche auf und die Grifflaschen 12,13 liegen in Versandstellung der Becherteile entsprechend ihrer Anordnung zur Symmetrielinie des Randflanschumrisses übereinander, so daß ein leichtes Aufheben der Verbindung im Punktbereich 11 und Aufklappen der Becherteile möglich ist, in der dann bei beiden Becherteilen 1,5 die Deckelfolie 4 entfernt und die Öffnungen 2,7 freigelegt können. Danach kann dann durch erneutes Umklappen des Becherteils 5 dessen Inhalt in den Füllraum 8 des ersten Becherteils 1 entleert werden.The edge flanges 2.3 of both cup parts 1.5 have a regionally widening 12, 13 to form a grip tab and the grip tabs 12, 13 lie one above the other in the shipping position of the cup parts according to their arrangement with respect to the line of symmetry of the edge flange outline, so that the connection can be easily lifted in Point area 11 and opening of the cup parts is possible, in which the cover film 4 can then be removed from both cup parts 1.5 and the openings 2.7 can be exposed. Then, by folding the cup part 5 again, its contents can be emptied into the filling space 8 of the first cup part 1.
