Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kunststoffbehälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a plastic container according to the Preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Behälter sind in einer Vielzahl von Ausführungen bekannt, die dazu dienen, entgasendes, flüssiges Füllgut flüssigkeitsdicht zu lagern und das dabei entstehende Gasvolumen über eine Entgasungseinrichtung eines Verschlusses nach außen entweichen zu lassen. Ohne eine solche Einrichtung würde der Behälter infolge eines sich mehr und mehr aufbauenden Gasüberdrucks extrem Ausbeulen oder sogar Bersten. Beim Lagern von Peroxid-Lösungen, die zusätzliche Wirkadditive enthalten, gibt es eine verstärkte Gasabspaltung - hauptsächlich Sauerstoff - und damit ein größeres Gasvolumen pro Zeiteinheit, welches über die Entgasungseinrichtung abgeleitet werden muß. Diese Einrichtung ist idealerweise nur für Gas durchlässig, nicht aber für Flüssigkeit. Je nach Konstruktion der Einrichtung kann es passieren, daß die (im Verschluß angeordnete gasdurchlässige Membran) Einrichtung durch Benetzung mit dem Füllgut (durch Schütteln) außer Funktion ist, was ein Bersten des Behälters zur Folge haben kann. Eine solche Entgasungseinrichtung ist beispielsweise durch offenkundige Vorbenutzung bekannt. Auch ist ein Umfallen des Behälters kritisch, da dann durch Benetzung der gasdurchlässigen Membran die Einrichtung außer Funktion gesetzt ist und dadurch ein Bersten des Behälter verursacht werden kann.Such containers are in a variety of designs known that serve degassing, liquid filling material to store liquid-tight and the resulting Gas volume via a degassing device To let the lock escape to the outside. Without one such a device would result in the container itself bulging more and more increasing gas pressure or even bursting. When storing peroxide solutions that contain additional active additives, there is an increased Elimination of gas - mainly oxygen - and therefore one larger gas volume per unit of time, which over the Degassing device must be derived. This Furniture is ideally gas permeable only, not but for liquid. Depending on the construction of the facility It can happen that the (arranged in the lock gas permeable membrane) device by wetting with the filling material (by shaking) is out of function what a Bursting of the container. Such Degassing device is for example by obvious Prior use known. Also falling over of the container critical, because then by wetting the gas-permeable Membrane the device is disabled and This can cause the container to burst.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgleichen Behälter zu schaffen, der unabhängig von seiner Lage die Funktionsfähigkeit der Entgasungseinrichtung nicht einschränkt und der in der Herstellung kostengünstig ist. The invention has for its object a generic To create containers that are independent of its Location of the functionality of the degassing device is not restricted and which is inexpensive to manufacture.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe nach den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen/ Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.The task is solved according to the characteristic features of claim 1. Advantageous further training / Embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims forth.
Dadurch, daß der gattungsgemäße Behälter als Entgasungseinrichtung mindestens im Mantelbereich zumindest teilweise mit einer derartigen Behälterwandstärke versehen ist und aus einem derartigen gasdurchlässigen Material besteht, daß der Behälter ein gleiches oder größeres Gasdurchlässigkeitsvermögen pro Zeiteinheit aufweist als das durch die Entgasung des Füllguts entstehende Gasvolumen pro Zeiteinheit, ist erreicht, daß unabhängig von der Lage des Behälters die Funktionsfähigkeit der Entgasungseinrichtung nicht eingeschränkt ist, und daß der Behälter durch Innendruck nicht unerwünscht ausbeult, wobei für eine bessere Stabilität des Behälters die Behälterwandstärke im Schulter- und Bodenbereich stärker ausgebildet ist als im Mantelbereich und der Schulter- und Bodenbereich gegen Ausbeulungen verformungssteif ausgebildet ist. Außerdem ist der Behälter in der Herstellung kostengünstig.The fact that the generic container as a degassing device at least partially at least in the jacket area is provided with such a container wall thickness and consists of such a gas-permeable material that the container has the same or greater gas permeability per unit of time than that by the Degassing of the filling gas volume per Unit of time is achieved that regardless of the location of the Container functionality of the degassing device is not restricted, and that the container by Internal pressure does not bulge undesirably, being for a better stability of the container the container wall thickness in Shoulder and floor area is more developed than in Coat area and the shoulder and bottom area against Bulges is rigid. Besides, is the container is inexpensive to manufacture.
Als Monomaterial eignet sich zum Beispiel vorzugsweise Ethylenvinylacetatmischpolymer oder dessen Polymermischung mit Polyethylen oder Polyethylen niedrigerer Dichte oder Polypropylen oder Polycarbonat oder deren Mischpolymere oder deren Gemische (Polyblends).For example, the preferred mono material is Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer or its polymer mixture with polyethylene or lower density polyethylene or Polypropylene or polycarbonate or their copolymers or their mixtures (polyblends).
Zum besseren Dosieren - mit Hilfe eines Dosiereinsatzes im Behälterhals oder eines Dosierverschlusses - des Füllguts ist der Behälter knautschbar ausgebildet.For better dosing - with the help of a dosing insert in the Neck of the container or a dosing cap - the filling material the container is designed to be crushable.
Zur Stabilitätserhöhung ist die relativ dünne Behälterwand im Mantelbereich mit einer Versteifungsprofilierung versehen. The relatively thin container wall is used to increase stability in the jacket area with a stiffening profile Mistake.
Alternativ oder in Kombination mit der Behälterwandversteifungsprofilierung kann die Behälterwand mindestens im Mantelbereich mit einer äußeren Pappversteifung - wahlweise lösbar - versehen werden.Alternatively or in combination with the container wall stiffening profile can the container wall at least in Jacket area with an outer cardboard stiffener - optional releasable - provided.
Eine andere vorteilhafte Behälterwandstabilitätserhöhung ist dadurch gegeben, daß der Behälter aus geschäumten Kunststoff hergestellt ist.Another advantageous increase in container wall stability is given by the fact that the container is made of foamed Plastic is made.
Als Füllgut eignet sich eine Sauerstoff abspaltende Flüssigkeit oder eine Peroxid-Lösung, wie sie zum Beispiel im Friseurbereich üblicherweise verwendet wird.An oxygen-releasing material is suitable as filling material Liquid or a peroxide solution such as that is usually used in hairdressing.
Die Erfindung wird anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is based on two exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.
Der in der Figur 1 dargestellte Kunststoffbehälter 1 für
entgasendes, flüssiges Füllgut besteht aus Monomaterial und
ist für einen flüssigkeitsdichten Verschluß 2 vorgesehen.
Als Entgasungseinrichtung 3 ist mindestens teilweise im
Mantelbereich 4 eine derartige Behälterwandstärke 5 und ein
derartiges gasdurchlässiges Material 6 vorgesehen, daß der
Behälter 1 ein gleiches oder größeres Gasdurchlässigkeitsvermögen
pro Zeiteinheit aufweist als das durch die
Entgasung des Füllguts entstehende Gasvolumen pro
Zeiteinheit. Zum dosierten Entnehmen einer Teilmenge des
Füllguts ist der Behälter im Mantelbereich 4 knautschbar
ausgebildet. Im Mantelbereich 4 sind Versteifungsrillen 7
angeordnet, die den relativ dünnwandigen Mantelbereich 4
verstärken, wodurch sich eine bessere Handhabung ergibt.
Anstelle (oder zusätzlich) der Versteifungsrillen 7 kann
der Mantelbereich 4 mit einer Pappversteifung 8 versehen
werden, die natürlich das Austreten von Gas durch den
Mantelbereich 4 nicht hindern darf, zum Beispiel durch eine
entsprechende Perforation. Durch geläufige Maßnahmen kann
die Pappversteifung 8 lösbar vom Behälter 1 ausgebildet
sein (wegen getrennter Entsorgung). Die Pappversteifung 8
kann gleichzeitig als ein Etikett vorgesehen sein.The plastic container 1 shown in Figure 1 for
degassing, liquid filling material consists of monomaterial and
is provided for a liquid-
Am Beispiel eines 1000 ml-Behälters 1 nach der Figur 1 ist
eine Höhe von 260 mm und ein Durchmesser von 84 mm
vorgesehen. Als Material ist vorzugsweise PP oder LDPE mit
einer Behälterwandstärke 5 von 0,45 mm bzw. 0,5 mm
vorgesehen, wobei sich eine Einsatzmässe von 40 g bzw. 50 g
ergibt. Ein entsprechender Behälter nach dem Stand der
Technik besteht üblicherweise aus HDPE und weist eine
Behälterwandstärke von 0,6 mm auf bei einer Einsatzmasse
von 63 g. Somit ergibt sich im Hinblick auf den Stand der
Technik auf einfache Weise eine Entgasungseinrichtung 3 und
eine deutlich geringere Einsatzmasse (Kostensenkung durch
Materialminimierung und Wegfall eines separaten
Entgasungsventils und gegebenenfalls geringere
Umweltbelastüng).The example of a 1000 ml container 1 according to FIG. 1 is
a height of 260 mm and a diameter of 84 mm
intended. PP or LDPE is preferably used as the material
a
Aus der nachstehenden Tabelle geht die jeweilige
Sauerstoffpermeation bei verschiedenen Materialien und
Behälterwandstärken näher hervor, wobei der Behälter A den
Stand der Technik darstellt und die Behälter B, C, D
erfindungsgemäße Beispiele darstellen.
Im Vergleich der Behälter B und C wird deutlich, daß bei PP eine Behälterwandverdünnung (von 0,5 mm auf 0,45 mm) eine größere Sauerstoffpermeabilität ergibt, ebenso wie ein noch gasdurchlässigeres Material wie LDPE (Behälter D).A comparison of containers B and C shows that PP a container wall thinning (from 0.5 mm to 0.45 mm) gives greater oxygen permeability, as does one still gas permeable material such as LDPE (container D).
Ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines Behälters 1.1 ist in
der Figur 2 dargestellt. Der Behälter 1.1 besteht aus
geschäumtem Material 9, z. B. PP, und weist als Entgasungseinrichtung
3.1 eine entsprechend dickere, geschäumte
Behälterwandstärke 5 auf, wodurch sich trotz einer geringen
Einsatzmasse eine höhere Stabilität und eine höhere
Gasdurchlässigkeit des Behälters 1.1 ergibt. Dieser
Behälter 1.1 kann im Extrusionsblasverfahren hergestellt
werden.A second embodiment of a container 1.1 is in
shown in Figure 2. The container 1.1 consists of
