Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refillable container for liquids or powders with a tank, a removal opening, on which a lid is detachably placed, and a handle.
  • Such containers are used, for example, to store and dispense detergents or lubricants.
  • the refilling takes place through the removal opening, even if these are rather fine for the purpose of dosing.
  • known containers of this type are frequently of an unfavorable shape in terms of stackability and space utilization.
  • the invention is intended to provide an improved construction of a refillable container.
  • the construction according to the invention should also offer the possibility of refilling a powdery or liquid concentrate and adding a liquid, e.g. B. water to dissolve a ready-to-use solution that can be conveniently dispensed from the container.
  • a container is particularly suitable for dishwashing detergents.
  • This construction is characterized in that there is a refill opening closed by a removable lid in the upper region of the tank. This avoids that the refilling is difficult because of a possibly only small discharge opening and that in containers in which the discharge opening is not in the upper container area, the container must be brought into a special position deviating from the stable normal position.
  • the container construction according to the invention is particularly suitable for plastic bottles. Due to the resilient and resilient properties of this material, the cover can be designed simply and expediently according to claims 2 to 7 or 15 to 17.
  • the top of the tank is expediently formed with a step which creates a transition between two top levels.
  • the refill opening is then in the upper level and the removal opening starts from the lower level, which makes it possible to add a pouring tube or the like to the removal opening.
  • the container is preferably approximately cuboid in shape, with rounded narrow side faces, and has a height which is of the same order of magnitude as the longitudinal extent of the cuboid, which has side walls which rise essentially in a straight line. In this way, a good use of space is achieved.
  • raised and recessed wall sections alternate with one another on the outer surface of the tank, with the result that the adaptability to different contents is improved and the wall is more flexible.
  • the drawing illustrates the geometry of the refillable container with sufficient clarity. It consists of a tank 1 with a removal opening 2 located at the top of the tank at the end of an inverted funnel, onto which a lid 3 (FIG. 5) can be placed, a refill opening 4 into which a stopper-like lid 5 can be inserted in the example shown, and a handle 6.
  • the tank 1 has an approximately cuboid shape, with a side outline approximating a square and one Transverse dimension that corresponds to half the length of the square edge. In the example described, the square edge measures just under 20 cm.
  • the handle 6 is designed as a passage through the tank 1, specifically between the side walls in the upper half of the tank in the vicinity of the one corner of the square. To make it easier to grip the handle 6, the container is narrowed from the side walls in this area of the handle, as shown in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, so that side walls 11 and 12 in the area of the handle compared to side walls 13 and 14 form a central longitudinal Plane of symmetry are offset.
  • the opposite narrow side is rounded as a whole and is approximately semi-cylindrical, as shown at 16.
  • the tank 1 Adjacent to the area of the handle 6, the tank 1 extends up to a higher top level 21.
  • the area of the handle 6 is, seen on the plan of the container, in the longitudinal direction of its plan at one end and the area the top plane 21 extends from this end towards the other end over about 2/3 of the top where it is broken off by a step 22.
  • the step 22 leads to a second, somewhat lower top level 23, which then determines the top to the edge of the container opposite the area of the handle 6.
  • a pouring beak 24 which has the shape of an inverted funnel, rises from the top plane 23 and on the outside of which, in the lower part, bead portions 25 extend, which form thread turns in sections. While the shape of the pouring spout 24 has a continuously decreasing diameter away from the plane 23 and a constant diameter in the last area, in the outermost area at the removal opening 2 the wall widens again outwards in a funnel shape, in order to provide guidance for to offer a cover sleeve described later and to allow a tight contact with the cover 3 described later, the piece directed outwards by its placement force slightly elastic depressed and expanded.
  • the refill opening 4 is a circular opening in the tank wall in the region of the higher top level 21 and is there in turn in a flat channel 31 running across the top side, in which a cylindrical flange 32 projects upwards around an opening in the tank wall. On the inside of the flange 32 runs around a flat notch 33, which serves to hold the cover 5 described later.
  • the refill opening 4 has a substantially larger diameter than the removal opening 2.
  • the level of the refill opening 4, namely the upper edge of the flange 32, and the level of the removal opening 2 at the tip of the pouring spout 24 are approximately at the level of the top plane 21
  • the step 23 thus has approximately the height of the pouring spout 24, which can be in the order of 10 to 15% of the total height of the container.
  • the axis of the refill opening 4 lies approximately in the central region of the longitudinal plan extension, but only approximates in the example shown and, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is shifted a small distance to the side of the handle 6.
  • the walls of the tank 1 have raised wall sections 36 and recessed wall sections 37, and the floor can also be structured accordingly, as indicated in the drawing (FIG. 4).
  • This structure results in an improved ductility of the wall in the event that lightly gassing substances have been filled in which create an overpressure on the inside, or that the containers are generally overfilled with heavy contents.
  • the structure of the wall surface also supports the pleasing appearance of the container.
  • the removal opening 2 and the refill opening 4 are mostly closed by the covers 3 and 5, respectively, which are shown in FIG. 5.
  • the removal opening is detachably closed by the cover 3, not shown in FIG. 1, which also serves as a measuring cup for Dosing is used.
  • the cup-shaped cover has on its inside threaded bead portions 42 which cooperate with the bead portions 25 by being pushed past them and then being screwed into them by turning them. Due to the elasticity of the material, it is also possible to snap the beads 42 over the beads 25 by applying increased force.
  • the cup of the lid 3 has fill level markings 43 and is made of a translucent material, so that the filling quantity can be determined by comparison with the markings 43.
  • the shell edge 52 carries on its outside two circumferential projections 53, one of which is snapped into the notch 33 of the flange 32 when the cover 5 is inserted.
  • a possibly slightly conical shape of the shell wall 52 also forces the flange 32 into a slightly conical position, with the result that the lid 5 is held tight in the opening 4 due to the elastic deformation of the material.
