Description

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

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 of the lid of the receiving container, which Edge ring encompassing locking ring itself due to its dimensions the undercut, with the bottom fold folded outwards of the plug-on container forms the outwardly directed bead, which when plugging onto the receiving container behind the undercut forming locking ring engages.

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 container is that that due to the large in the manufacture of shipping containers permissible relatively large manufacturing tolerances one for a flawless Connection of the container does not guarantee adequate fit can be. Depending on the size and direction of tolerance, either the connection only by forcefully pressing in the plug-on container deforming in the receiving container usually of the (lower) receiving container or the connection has a more or less big game that even until you solve the Make the connection alone under the dead weight of the lower container can. In addition, the users of such containers in an undesirable Way when using such double container in one certain locking ring, adapted to the type of connection are what - when using containers from different manufacturers - Requires increased user storage.

Es ist aus der US-A-3 039 601 eine Verpackung bekannt geworden, bei der zwei unterschiedlich diemensionierte Behälter dadurch zu einer Transporteinheit verbunden werden, daß der kleinere Behälter mittels eines kappenartigen Überfanges auf dem größeren Behälter fixiert wird. Der Überfang stellt ein Kosten verursachendes zusätzliches Bauelement dar, wobei unter weiterhin erhöhtem Herstellungs- und Lagerhaltungsaufwand Behälter unterschiedlicher Größe bzw. Bauart benötigt werden.A package has become known from US-A-3,039,601, in the case of two differently dimensioned containers a transport unit that the smaller container by means of a cap-like overlay fixed on the larger container becomes. The overlay represents an additional component which causes costs represents, with further increased manufacturing and warehousing costs Containers of different sizes or types are required.

Es ist weiterhin in der DE-C-938 413 ein Behälter beschrieben, dessen Boden mit einem Einzug versehen ist, der das Aufeinanderstapeln von Gebinden mit im wesentlichen gleichem Durchmesser, nicht jedoch die Verbindung zweier oder mehrerer Behälter zu einem als Einheit transportfähigen Gebilde erlaubt.It is further described in DE-C-938 413 a container, the Floor is provided with a feed that the stacking of Containers with essentially the same diameter, but not the Connection of two or more containers to one that can be transported as a unit Structures allowed.

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 the connection can be guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Doppelbehälter mit den im Patentanspruch wiedergegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved with a double container with the in the claim reproduced characteristics solved.

Durch die Erfindung ist ein Doppelbehälter geschaffen, mit einer von einem Drittelement, nämlich einem 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 creates a double container, with one of one Third element, namely a locking ring, independent receptacle in the receptacle cover, which in addition without additional manufacturing effort in can be manufactured calibrated in the same way as the counter element, namely the internal restriction of the bottom fold of the slip-on container. It also carries the through the groove with outside beading caused lid deformation not insignificant to a desired Stiffening of the container lid at. Another major advantage especially for the user of the lid is that the connection independent of a specific design of the locking ring is the user for the lock any lock ring can use.

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 ausgebildet und die Nut 6 an ihrer oberen Innenkante mit einer vorspringenden Außensicke 8 versehen, deren Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Falzrandes 4 des Aufsteckbehälters 3 entspricht, wobei die Bodenfalz 5 auf einen den Umfang der Außensicke 8 unterschreitenden Umfang nach innen geschränkt ist.The double container for multi-component products shown in the drawing, in particular two-component adhesive, consists of a Container 1 with a receiving lid having an undercut 7 2 and a plug-on container 3, which has 4 is crimped into a fold 5. To make the undercut is the surface of the receiving cover 2 is formed with a circumferential groove 6 and the groove 6 on its upper inner edge with a projecting outer bead 8th provided, the outer diameter of the Inner diameter of the folded edge 4 of the slip-on container 3 corresponds, with the bottom fold 5 on a circumference below the circumference of the outer bead 8 to the inside is restricted.

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 dissolved form and lets in comparison with Fig. 3 recognize that when the container 3 is placed on the lid 2 the fold can be clipped on due to its material elasticity can, with no risk of (permanent) deformation of a the parts exist. Since both the production of the groove 6 with the outer bead 8 and the setting of the fold 5 is calibrated, the connection has a high accuracy of fit, which also on a distant edge Place can be arranged so that the closure of the container can be done in a manner independent of the container connection can.
