Abstract

A dual container for multiple-component products, in particular two-component adhesives, comprising a container (1) with a receiving lid (2) having an undercut (7), and a plug-on container (3) which is provided at its lower fold edge (4, 5) with a bead engaging behind the undercut, and in which the surface of the receiving lid (2) is fitted with a peripheral groove (6), and the groove (6) is fitted at its upper inner edge with a projecting outer bead (8) having an outside diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of the fold edge (4) of the plug-on container (3), and the bottom fold (5) being set inwards, calibrated to an extent which is less than the extent of the outer bead (8). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Doppelbehälter für Mehrkomponentenprodukte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention is based on a double container for multi-component products according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei den bekannten Doppelbehältern der beschriebenen Art bildet der der Befestigung des Deckels des aufnehmenden Behälters dienende, die Randbordierung umgreifende Verschlußring selbst aufgrund seiner Dimensionierung die Hinterschneidung, wobei die nach außen gebördelte Bodenfalz des Aufsteckbehälters den nach außen gerichteten Wulst bildet, der beim Aufstecken auf den aufnehmenden Behälter hinter den die Hinterschneidung bildenden Verschlußring greift.In the known double containers of the type described, the fastening ring, which serves to fasten the lid of the receiving container and encompass the rim, forms the undercut itself due to its dimensions, the outwardly flared bottom fold of the plug-on container forming the outward bulge which, when attached to the receiving container Container engages behind the locking ring forming the undercut.

Der wesentliche Nachteil der bekannten Doppelbehälter besteht darin, daß aufgrund der bei der Herstellung von Transportbehältern großen zulässigen relativ großen Fertigungstoleranzen eine für eine einwandfreie Verbindung der Behälter ausreichende Paßgenauigkeit nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Je nach Größe und Richtung der Toleranz kann entweder die Verbindung nur durch gewaltsames Einpressen des Aufsteckbehälters in den aufnehmenden Behälter unter Deformierung in der Regel des (unteren) aufnehmenden Behälters erfolgen oder die Verbindung weist ein mehr oder weniger großes Spiel auf, das sogar bis zum Lösen der Verbindung alleine unter dem Eigengewicht des unteren Behälters führen kann. Hinzu kommt, daß die Anwender derartiger Behälter in einer unerwünschten Weise beim Einsatz derartiger Doppelhälter auf einen bestimmten, auf die Art der Verbindung abgestimmten Verschlußring festgelegt sind, was - bei Verwendung von Behältern verschiedener Hersteller - eine erhöhte Lagerhaltung beim Anwender erfordert.The main disadvantage of the known double containers is that due to the large, relatively large manufacturing tolerances permitted in the manufacture of transport containers, a sufficient fit for a perfect connection of the containers cannot be guaranteed. Depending on the size and direction of the tolerance, the connection can only be achieved by forcefully pressing in the plug-on container usually take place in the receiving container with deformation of the (lower) receiving container or the connection has a more or less large play, which can even lead to the loosening of the connection alone under the weight of the lower container. In addition, the users of such containers in an undesirable manner when using such double containers are fixed to a specific locking ring which is matched to the type of connection, which - when using containers from different manufacturers - requires increased storage by the user.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt als Aufgabe die Schaffung eines Doppelbehälters der beschriebenen Art zugrunde, bei dem eine große Paßgenauigkeit der Verbindung gewährleistet werden kann.The present invention has for its object to provide a double container of the type described, in which a great fit of the connection can be guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit Doppelbehälter mit den im Patentanspruch 1 wiedergegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved with a double container with the features set out in claim 1.

Durch die Erfindung ist ein Doppelbehälter mit einer von einem Drittelement, nämlich dem Verschlußring, unabhängigen Aufnahme im Aufnahmedeckel, die darüberhinaus ohne zusätzlichen Herstellungsaufwand in der gleichen Weise kalibriert hergestellt werden kann wie das Gegenelement, nämlich die Innenschränkung der Bodenfalz des Aufsteckbehälters. Es trägt darüberhinaus die durch die Nutung mit Außensickung bewirkte Deckelverformung nicht unwesentlich zu einer erwünschten Versteifung des Behälterdeckels bei. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil besteht insbesondere für den Anwender des Deckels darin, daß die Verbindung von einer bestimmten Ausbildung des Verschlußringes unabhängig ist, der Anwender für den Verschluß somit einen beliebigen Verschlußring einsetzen kann.The invention provides a double container with a receptacle in the receptacle cover that is independent of a third element, namely the locking ring, and which can also be calibrated in the same way as the counter element, namely the internal restriction of the bottom fold of the receptacle, without additional production outlay. In addition, the lid deformation caused by the grooving with external beading contributes significantly to a desired stiffening of the container lid. Another major advantage, particularly for the user of the lid, is that the connection is independent of a specific design of the lock ring, the user can thus use any lock ring for the lock.

Der in der Zeichnung wiedergegebene Doppelbehälter für Mehrkomponentenprodukte, insbesondere Zweikomponentenkleber, besteht aus einem Behälter 1 mit einem eine Hinterschneidung 7 aufweisenden Aufnahmedeckel 2 sowie einem Aufsteckbehälter 3, der an seinem unteren Rand 4 zu einer Falz 5 gebördelt ist. Zur Herstellung der Hinterschneidung ist die Fläche des Aufnahmedeckels 2 mit einer rundumlaufenden Nut 6 und die Nut 6 an ihrer oberen Innenkante mit einer vorspringenden Außensicke 8 mit einem dem Innendurchmesser des Falzrandes 4 des Aufsteckbehälters 3 entsprechenden Außendurchmesser und die Bodenfalz 5 auf einen den Umfang der Außensicke 8 unterschreitenden Umfang nach innen geschränkt ist.The double container shown in the drawing for multi-component products, in particular two-component adhesive, consists of a container 1 with a receiving lid 2 having an undercut 7 and a push-on container 3 which is flanged at its lower edge 4 to form a fold 5. To produce the undercut, the surface of the receiving cover 2 is provided with a circumferential groove 6 and the groove 6 on its upper inner edge with a projecting outer bead 8 with an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the folded edge 4 of the push-on container 3, and the bottom rebate 5 on the circumference of the outer bead 8 below the scope is limited internally.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Verbindung in gelöster Form und läßt im Vergleich mit Fig. 3 erkennen, daß beim Aufstecken des Behälters 3 auf den Deckel 2 die Falz aufgrund ihrer Materialelastizität paßgenau aufgeclipst werden kann, wobei keinerlei Gefahr der (bleibenden) Deformiernung eines der Teile besteht. Da sowohl die Herstellung der Nut 6 mit Außensicke 8 als auch die Schränkung der Falz 5 kalibriert erfolgen, weist die Verbindung eine hohe Paßgenauigkeit auf, die darüberhinaus an einer randfernen Stelle angeordnet sein kann, so daß der Verschluß des Behälters beliebig in einer von der Behälterverbindung unabhängigen Weise erfolgen kann.Fig. 2 shows the connection in a released form and shows in comparison with Fig. 3 that when the container 3 is placed on the lid 2 the fold can be clipped on due to its material elasticity, with no risk of (permanent) deformation of one of the parts. Since both the production of the groove 6 with the outer bead 8 and the setting of the fold 5 are calibrated, the connection has a high accuracy of fit, which can moreover be arranged at a point remote from the edge, so that the closure of the container can be placed in any of the container connections can be done independently.
