Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Standbeutel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a stand-up pouch according to the preamble of claim 1.

Standbeutel aus Kunststoffolien sind insbesondere als Einwegverpackungen für Getränke, aber auch für Waschmittel oder dergl. bekannt. Standbeutel der gattungsgemäßen Art werden z.B. in dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 89 00 883 oder auch dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 89 00 882 beschrieben. In die Unterseite derartiger Beutel ist ein Standboden eingearbeitet, so daß der Beutel auch nach seinem Öffnen auf einer Unterlage aufgestellt werden kann, ohne daß der Beutelinhalt aus der Entnahmeöffnung, die im oberen Bereich ausgebildet ist, herausläuft, oder der Beutel umkippt. Außerdem ist zur Erhöhung der Stabilität bei Beutein dieser Art im oberen Teil zwischen die Seitenwände ein zusätzliches, ähnlich wie der Standboden aufgebautes Deckenteil eingearbeitet, so daß Beutel dieser Art im gefüllten Zustand eine einem Zylinder ähnelnde Form haben.Stand-up pouches made of plastic films are particularly suitable as disposable packaging for drinks, but also known for detergents or the like. Stand-up pouches of the generic type Be e.g. in the German utility model G 89 00 883 or also the German utility model G 89 00 882. In the bottom of such Pouch is built into a stand so that the pouch can also be used after it Can be opened on a surface without the contents of the bag the removal opening, which is formed in the upper region, or Pouch tips over. In addition, to increase the stability of Beutein this type in an additional part between the side walls, similar to the stand floor built ceiling part incorporated, so that bags of this type in the filled state have a shape similar to a cylinder.

Ein grundsätzlicher Vorteil solcher Standbeutel liegt darin, daß sie im ungefüllten Zustand sehr flach zusammengefaltet werden können und so nur wenig Platz beanspruchen. Andererseits haben sie im gefüllten Zustand eine relativ große Eigenstabilität und eignen sich so insbesondere als Nachfüllpackungen für die bereits genannten Medien.A basic advantage of such stand-up pouches is that they are unfilled can be folded very flat and thus take up little space. On the other hand, they have a relatively high inherent stability when filled and are particularly suitable as refill packs for the ones already mentioned Media.

Bei den bekannten Beutein wird die Entnahmeöffnung entweder im Bereich des Deckenteils verwirklicht (deutsches Gebrauchsmuster 89 00 883) oder aber im oberen Teil einer Seitenwand (deutsches Gebrauchsmuster 89 00 882).In the known bags, the removal opening is either in the area of the ceiling part realized (German utility model 89 00 883) or in the upper Part of a side wall (German utility model 89 00 882).

Im ersteren Fall liegt die Entnahmeöffnung zentral in der Mitte des Standbeutels und ragt in der Art einer Gießtülle hervor, die allerdings aufgrund ihrer Flexibilität beim Ausgießen insbesondere beim Umfüllen in Flaschen nicht immer einen stabilen Auslauf des Mediums ermöglicht, so daß es zu Verschüttungen kommen kann. In the former case, the removal opening is located centrally in the middle of the stand-up pouch and protrudes in the manner of a pouring spout, which, however, due to its flexibility in Pouring out a stable spout, especially when decanting into bottles of the medium so that spills can occur.

Im zweiten Fall, in dem also die Entnahmeöffnung in der Seitenwand ausgebildet ist, muß der Standbeutel zum Umfüllen seines Inhaltes seitlich an das Umfüllgefäß herangeführt werden, was ebenfalls zu Problemen führen kann.In the second case, in which the removal opening is formed in the side wall, the stand-up pouch must be moved to the side of the decanting container to transfer its contents become, which can also lead to problems.

Schließlich ist aus der DE-A-39 25 981 ein Standbeutel bekannt, der die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.Finally, a stand-up pouch is known from DE-A-39 25 981, which has the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Standbeutel der gattungsbildenden Art hinsichtlich seiner Handhabbarkeit zu verbessern.The invention has for its object a stand-up pouch of the generic Art to improve its manageability.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieser Aufgabe durch einen Standbeutel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dadurch, daß in die Entnahmeöffnung ein Schraubverschlußelement eingesetzt ist, läßt sich die Entnahmeöffnung einfach verschließen, wenn beispielsweise nur ein Teilinhalt des Standbeutels um- oder ausgegossen worden ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a stand-up pouch with the features of claim 1 solved. Characterized in that a screw closure element in the removal opening is inserted, the removal opening can be easily closed, if, for example, only a partial content of the stand-up pouch has been cast or poured out is.

Wenn die Eckenbereiche der Seitenwände dreieckförmig mit den zugeordneten Eckbereichen des Deckenteils und des Bodenteils flächig verbunden ist, erhöht sich die Stabilität und es entsteht beim Ausgießen eine seitliche Zuführung des auszugießenden Fluids zur Entnahmeöffnung hin, was insbesondere bei flüssigen Medien zu einem ruhigen Ausströmen führt.If the corner areas of the side walls are triangular with the assigned corner areas of the ceiling part and the bottom part is connected, increases Stability and there is a lateral supply of the poured out during pouring Fluids to the removal opening, which in particular in the case of liquid media leads to calm outflows.

Schließlich sind die Seitenwände mit zwischen den Querkanten beabstandet verlaufenden, nach außen gerichteten Längsprägungen versehen, die Längsfaltlinien bilden, die in der Form von Vertiefungen in das Folienmaterial eingeprägt werden. Beim befüllten Beutel ergibt sich dadurch je nach Anzahl der Längsprägungen eine Polygonform (im Horizontalschnitt gesehen) des gefüllten Behälters, also eine von der runden Form abweichende Gestaltung. Wenn z.B. in jeder Seitenwand zwei derartige Längsprägungen beabstandet angeordnet sind, hat der am Ende erhaltene Standbeutel im gefüllten Zustand die Form eines Sechsecks, so daß die Behälter zum Transport oder auch bei Präsentationen in Regalen von Einkaufsläden eng aneinanderstehend gelagert werden können, so daß weniger Totraum entsteht, wie das bei im Querschnitt runden, aneinanderangrenzenden Behältnissen der Fall wäre. Finally, the side walls with spaced, provide outward-facing longitudinal embossments that form longitudinal fold lines, which are embossed in the form of depressions in the film material. At the filled pouch results in a polygon shape depending on the number of longitudinal embossings (seen in horizontal section) of the filled container, i.e. one of the round shape different design. If e.g. two such in each side wall Longitudinal embossments are spaced apart, the stand-up pouch obtained at the end when filled, the shape of a hexagon, so that the container for Transport or for presentations on shelves of shops close together can be stored, so that less dead space arises, as with cross-sectioned, adjacent containers would be the case.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Entnahmeöffnung von einem an einer Seitenwand ausgebildeten, über eine Querkante der Seitenwand vorstehenden Seitenwandlasche und einer dazu korrespondierend am Deckenteil ausgebildeten Deckenteillasche gebildet, die entlang ihrer Längskanten miteinander verbunden sind.According to a preferred embodiment, the removal opening is one formed on a side wall, projecting beyond a transverse edge of the side wall Sidewall tab and a correspondingly formed on the ceiling part Ceiling part tab formed, which are connected together along their longitudinal edges are.

Durch diese Lösung wird die Entnahmeöffnung von zwei Laschen gebildet, wobei die eine Lasche Teil der Seitenwand ist, während die andere Lasche Teil des Deckenteils ist. Durch Verbinden entlang der Längskanten entsteht so die Entahmeöffnung, wobei das auszufüllende Medium wieder frei entlang der Seitenwandung bis zum Ende im Bereich der Öffnung fließen kann, also nicht umgelenkt wird. Dadurch ergibt sich eine "ruhige" gleichmäßige Ausfließströmung, so daß ein präzises Umfüllen auch kleiner Mengen ohne die Gefahr des Verschüttens möglich ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Herstellung sehr einfach, weil beim Vorbereiten der einzelnen Folienteile lediglich an der Seitenwand ein überstehender Abschnitt zur Bildung der Seitenwandlasche und am Deckenteil ebenfalls lediglich ein entsprechender Überstand ausgeschnitten werden muß.With this solution, the removal opening is formed by two tabs, the one flap is part of the side wall, while the other flap is part of the ceiling part is. By connecting along the longitudinal edges, the enthalpy opening is created, whereby the medium to be filled in again freely along the side wall to the end can flow in the area of the opening, i.e. is not deflected. This results in a "calm" even outflow, so that a precise decanting also small amounts is possible without the risk of spillage. In addition, the Manufacturing very easy, because when preparing the individual film parts only on a protruding section of the side wall to form the side wall flap and only a corresponding overhang should also be cut out on the ceiling part got to.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist zwischen einer Seite des Bodenteils und einer unteren Querkante einer Seitenwand im Bereich des Bodens eine Befüllöffnung vorgesehen. Dabei kann an der Seite des Bodenteils und an der unteren Querkante der Seitenwand im Bereich des Bodens korrespondierend ausgebildete Bodenlaschen vorgesehen sein, die an ihren Längskanten miteinander verbunden sind und die Befüllöffnung bilden. Bei dieser Lösung wird zusätzlich zur Entnahmeöffnung eine gesonderte Befüllöffnung geschaffen, wobei nach dem Befüllen die Befüllöffnung verschlossen wird, indem z.B. vom Boden her die korrespondierenden Laschen miteinander verschweißt werden können. Die Entnahme findet dann über die Entnahmeöffnung statt. Wenn die gesonderte Befüllöffnung nicht vorhanden ist, wird über die Entnahmeöffnung auch gefüllt.In a further advantageous embodiment, between one side of the bottom part and a filling transverse opening of a lower transverse edge of a side wall in the area of the bottom intended. It can be on the side of the bottom part and on the lower transverse edge the side wall in the area of the bottom correspondingly formed bottom tabs be provided, which are interconnected at their longitudinal edges and form the filling opening. With this solution, a separate filling opening created, the filling opening after filling is closed, e.g. from the bottom the corresponding tabs with each other can be welded. The removal then takes place via the removal opening instead of. If the separate filling opening is not available, over the removal opening is also filled.

Schließlich sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß die Seitenwandlasche und die Deckenteillasche im wesentlichen rechteckförmig ausgebildet sind und daß schließlich die Außenkontur des Beutels ein Quadrat mit einer Kantenlänge zwischen 10 und 15 cm bildet.Finally, a development of the invention provides that the side wall tab and the ceiling part flap are substantially rectangular and that finally the outside contour of the bag is a square with an edge length between 10 and 15 cm forms.

Beutel dieser Art sind sehr handlich und eignen sich für die unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten.Bags of this type are very handy and are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung weiter erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

In Figur 1 sind die einzelnen Bestandteile des erfindungsgemäßen Standbeutels gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt. Diese Teile werden bevorzugt aus Folienmaterial im Zweifachverbund in an sich bekannter Weise gebildet.In Figure 1, the individual components of the invention Stand-up pouch according to a first embodiment shown. These parts are preferred of film material in a double bond in a known per se Formed way.

Der erfindungsgemäße Standbeutel umfaßt eine Seitenwand 2, eine Seitenwand 3, ein als Standboden dienendes Bodenteil 10 sowie ein Deckenteil 11.The stand-up pouch according to the invention comprises a side wall 2, a side wall 3, a base part serving as a standing base 10 and a ceiling part 11.

Das Boden- und Deckenteil kommt im verbundenen Zustand des Beutels innerhalb der Kontur der Seitenwände zu liegen. Diese Teile falten sich beim Füllen des Behälters dann entsprechend aus.The floor and ceiling part comes in the connected state of the bag to lie within the contour of the side walls. These parts fold when the container is filled then accordingly.

Am Deckenteil 11 ist erfindungsgemäß eine Deckenteillasche 15 einstückig mit ausgebildet. Ebenfalls einstückig mit der Seitenwand 2 ist die Seitenwandlasche 14 ausgebildet, und zwar korrespondierend zur Deckenteillasche 15. Die einzelnen Teile werden nun zum Erzeugen des Beutels miteinander verbunden. Dabei werden die Längskanten 4 und 5 der Seitenwand 3 mit den Längskanten 6 und 7 der Seitenwand 2 entlang der gestrichelt dargestellten Bereiche versiegelt. Die Eckbereiche 3a, 3b, 3c und 3d der Seitenwand 3 werden mit den Eckbereichen 11a, 11b, 10b und der in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten hinteren Ecke des Bodenteils flächig in der Art eines Dreiecks verbunden.According to the invention, a ceiling part flap is on the ceiling part 11 15 integrally formed with. Also in one piece with the side wall 2 is the side wall tab 14 trained, and that corresponding to the ceiling part tab 15. The individual parts are now to be created of the bag joined together. The Longitudinal edges 4 and 5 of the side wall 3 with the long edges 6 and 7 of the side wall 2 along the dashed line Sealed areas. The corner areas 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d of the side wall 3 are with the corner areas 11a, 11b, 10b and that not shown in the drawing rear corner of the bottom part flat in the manner of a Triangular connected.

Die Eckbereiche 11d, 11c, 10a und 10c werden entsprechend dieser Reihenfolge mit den Eckbereichen 2d, 2c, 2b und 2a der Seitenwand 2 ebenfalls dreieckförmig verschweißt.The corner areas 11d, 11c, 10a and 10c become corresponding this order with the corner areas 2d, 2c, 2b and 2a of the side wall 2 also triangular welded.

Die jeweils zur Seite weisenden Kanten von Boden- und Deckenteil werden mit den Längskanten 4 und 6 bzw. 5 und 7 ebenfalls längs verschweißt.The edges of the floor and Ceiling part with the longitudinal edges 4 and 6 or 5 and 7 also welded lengthways.

Schließlich wird die Unterkante 8 mit der ihr zugeordneten Kante des Bodenteils verbunden, während die auf die Seitenwand 2 weisende untere Kante des Bodenteils 10 mit der Unterkante 9 dieser Seitenwand verschweißt wird.Finally, the lower edge 8 is assigned to it Edge of the bottom part connected while on the lower edge of the base part 10 facing the side wall 2 is welded to the lower edge 9 of this side wall.

Das Deckenteil wird über die Länge seiner auf die Seitenwand 3 weisenden oberen Kante mit der entsprechenden oberen Kante der Seitenwand verschweißt. Die Deckenteillasche 15 dagegen wird nur entlang ihrer Längskanten 16 und 18 mit den entsprechenden Längskanten 17 und 19 der Seitenwandlasche 14 verschweißt.The ceiling piece is on the length of its on the side wall 3 pointing upper edge with the corresponding one welded upper edge of the side wall. The ceiling part tab 15, on the other hand, is only along its longitudinal edges 16 and 18 with the corresponding longitudinal edges 17 and 19 of the Side wall bracket 14 welded.

Bei einer Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Standbeutels, die ebenfalls in Figur 1 gestrichelt angedeutet ist, kann an der unteren Seite der Seitenwand 2 und der auf sie zuweisenden Fläche des Bodenteils 10 entsprechend der Seitenwand- und Deckenteillasche 14 und 15 jeweils eine Bodenlasche 2e bzw. 10e angeordnet sein. Diese Laschen können ebenfalls wieder entlang ihrer Längskanten miteinander verbunden werden, so daß dort in diesem Bereich dann eine Befüllöffnung entsteht, die nach dem Befüllvorgang flächig oder auch entlang der Kanten dann zum Verschließen des Beutels verschweißt werden kann.In a variant of the stand-up pouch according to the invention, which is also indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1, can on the lower side of the side wall 2 and on corresponding surface of the bottom part 10 the side wall and ceiling panel tabs 14 and 15, respectively a bottom flap 2e or 10e can be arranged. This Tabs can also again along their longitudinal edges be connected to each other so that there in this Then a filling opening is created, which after the Filling process flat or along the edges can be welded to seal the bag.

Durch das Verschweißen bzw. Versiegeln entlang der Längskanten der Deckenteillasche und der Seitenwandlasche entsteht die Entnahmeöffnung 12, in die, wie Figur 2 zeigt, ein Schraubverschlußelement 23 eingeschweißt werden kann. Der somit erhaltene Beutel läßt sich insgesamt dann einfach wieder verschließen, wenn er nach der Benützung nicht vollständig entleert worden ist.By welding or sealing along the Long edges of the ceiling panel flap and the side wall flap creates the removal opening 12, in the, like figure 2 shows a screw closure element 23 welded in can be. The pouch thus obtained can be taken as a whole then just close it again when it is finished Use has not been completely emptied.

Die Seitenwände 2 und 3 sind darüber hinaus mit beabstandet zueinander verlaufenden, nach außen gerichteten Längsprägungen 21 versehen, wie dies Figur 5 ebenfalls erkennen läßt.The side walls 2 and 3 are also spaced apart mutually extending, outward-facing Provide longitudinal embossments 21, as is also the case in FIG. 5 reveals.

Diese Längsprägungen 21, von denen jeweils zwei in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel pro Seitenwand verwirklicht sind, bewirken, daß der befüllte Beutel in der Draufsicht geschnitten entlang der Linie V-V der Figur 2 eine Form annimmt, wie sie in Figur 5 gezeigt ist. Mit dieser Sechseckform lassen sich die Beutel ohne toten Raum einfach nebeneinander anordnen. Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen die entsprechenden Längsschnittformen des Standbeutels im Zusammenbau, wobei man erkennen kann, daß dort wo die Entnahmeöffnung 12 gebildet ist, ein über die gesamte Seitenwand glatt durchgehender Entnahmekanal gebildet ist, so daß das Ausgießen sehr einfach und gleichmäßig möglich ist. Wie die Figur 2 erkennen läßt, ist der Beutel bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel im wesentlichen quadratisch, wobei sich als bevorzugte Kantenlänge für die praktische Verwendung eine Länge zwischen 10 und 15 cm herausgestellt hat.These longitudinal embossments 21, two of which are each in the illustrated embodiment realized per side wall are, cause the filled bag in the Top view cut along the line V-V of Figure 2 takes a form as shown in Figure 5. With In this hexagonal shape, the bags can be left dead Simply arrange the room side by side. Figures 3 and 4 show the corresponding longitudinal sectional shapes of the stand-up pouch in assembly, whereby one can see that where the removal opening 12 is formed, an over the entire side wall has a continuous extraction channel is formed so that the pouring is very easy and is evenly possible. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the bag is essentially in this embodiment square, being the preferred edge length a length between for practical use 10 and 15 cm.

Figuren 6 bis 9 zeigen ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung. Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel entspricht im wesentlichen dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel, wobei jedoch zur Bildung der Entnahmeöffnung 12 keine Deckenteillasche 15 am Deckenteil 11 und keine korrespondierende Seitenwandlasche 14 ausgebildet ist. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Entnahmeöffnung zwischen der oberen Querkante 20 der Seitenwand 2 und der entsprechenden Deckenteilkante 22 ausgebildet. Der Beutel wird, wie im Zusammenhang mit dem vorherigen Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, verschweißt, bis auf daß der Beutel im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung zwischen dem Deckenteil und der Seitenwand 2 offen bleibt. Wie in Figur 7 gezeigt ist, wird in die Entnahmeöffnung 12 ein Schraubverschlußelement 23 eingeschweißt. Selbstverständlich kann auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel im Bereich des Bodenteils eine Befüllöffnung, wie zuvor beschrieben, vorgesehen werden.Figures 6 to 9 show a second embodiment according to the present invention. The second embodiment corresponds essentially to the first embodiment, however, to form the removal opening 12 no ceiling part tab 15 on the ceiling part 11 and no corresponding side wall flap 14 is formed is. In this embodiment, the removal opening between the upper transverse edge 20 of the side wall 2 and the corresponding ceiling edge 22. The pouch will be as related to the described previous embodiment, welded, except that the bag in the area of the removal opening between the ceiling part and the side wall 2 remains open. As shown in Figure 7 is, a screw closure element in the removal opening 12 23 welded. Of course can also in this embodiment in the area of Bottom part of a filling opening, as previously described, be provided.

Selbstverständlich ist die in den Ausführungsbeispielen rechteckige Formgebung der Deckenteillasche und der Seitenwandlasche durch andere Formen ersetzbar, beispielsweise kann auch eine spitz zulaufende Laschenform gewählt werden, so daß eine "Gießnase" erhalten wird.It goes without saying that in the exemplary embodiments rectangular shape of the ceiling panel and the side panel replaceable with other forms, for example can also choose a tapered tab shape be so that a "pouring nose" is obtained.
