Definitions

  • the invention relates to packaging, in particular made of plastic, for pourable materials Products with a receptacle and with a lockable removal and a closable refill opening, the refill opening being pivotable by one is hinged to the receptacle hinged container lid and the lockable removal opening is integrated in the container lid.
  • the container lid has several smaller removal openings, also from a second one hinged lid hinged to the receptacle can be closed.
  • Disposable packaging made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard blanks for powdery Products, such as detergents or the like, by reusable, i.e. H. Refillable packaging that remains with the user and that can be refilled.
  • refill packaging filled with product can be purchased as simple Bag packaging is designed, however, only for dosed product removal itself are extremely unsuitable.
  • Box-like packaging made of metal or plastic has already become known in which a refill bag can be set.
  • This packaging box then serves only as outer packaging for the refill bag.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment is for example from DE 40 36 945 C2 Applicant known.
  • the disadvantage of this packaging is that it is bag-like Refill packaging in the box-like outer packaging and then Product in dosed quantity only with an additional dosing aid, such as a measuring spoon or the like, is removable. An immediate dosed product delivery from a such packaging without aids, especially in small quantities, is hardly possible possible.
  • packaging has already become known which has a receptacle have, on which a lid-shaped upper part is bounced, through which Product can be delivered.
  • a receptacle have, on which a lid-shaped upper part is bounced, through which Product can be delivered.
  • For refilling product in the lower part of the packaging or in the receptacle it is necessary with a relatively high Pull the lid-shaped top part off the bottom part to open the refill opening to release.
  • the invention has for its object a refillable packaging of the beginning mentioned type to develop, in which the container lid without great manufacturing effort to be attached to the receptacle.
  • Such packaging enables both perfect and precisely metered Product delivery even in small product quantities as well as a simple and easy to do handling refill.
  • the removal opening which is integrated in the container lid, open and close again easily and for refilling the container lid can be opened without the Need to remove or remove the lid in a cumbersome way.
  • chute-like guides are integrated, which are in the area of closable removal opening open. This design becomes a tour or line of the pourable product from the receptacle to the removal opening reached, d. H. the
  • the product becomes compulsory if the packaging is pivoted accordingly directed to the removal opening.
  • the chute-like guides slightly tapered towards the discharge opening.
  • the container lid has side wall areas, which in the closed state all the way to the upper side wall area of the Fit the receptacle.
  • the closable removal opening is preferably in one Sidewall area of the container lid formed, of course above the contact area of the side wall areas of the container lid on Receptacle.
  • the handling of the packaging can still be improved in that the removal opening at one end on the swivel Articulation opposite side of the packaging is provided.
  • the top of the container lid and the underside of the receptacle are stackable, preferably such that at the same time with stacked packaging the respective extraction openings are protected.
  • inwardly curved area is formed, which continues in configuration can be designed so that when two are stacked Packaging the inwardly bulging area of the upper packaging in the Container lid of the lower packaging arranged in its closure Locked position fixed.
  • a receptacle for a dosing element is molded into the container lid is.
  • the invention sees a further embodiment of achieving consumer protection before that below one that forms the pivot axis of the container lid Film hinge on both sides on Container lid each arranged a small tamper evident, preferably molded directly onto the container lid.
  • the container lid has an opening and / or a locking projection on the inside has that with a closed lid with a locking lug of the receptacle interact, as does the invention provides.
  • a packaging according to the invention for pourable products, in particular for washing powder or the like, is generally designated 1 in the drawing.
  • This packaging 1 initially has a receptacle 2, preferably made of plastic, on.
  • This receptacle 2 is bottle-shaped designed and has a refill opening 3 on the top, the is designed as large as possible for easy refillability illustrated embodiment takes the opening cross-section of the refill opening 3 approximately 75% of the total cross section of the receptacle 2 on.
  • Adjacent to the refill opening 3 is at the top of the receptacle a with this upward excellent attachment approach 4 with circumferential locking beads 5 are provided, for bouncing a cup-shaped Lid fastening piece 6 of a container lid 7 of the packaging 1 serves.
  • This cover fastening piece 6 points in the lower, to the opening edge adjoining area revolving ridges on the drawing are not shown and that when bouncing on the mounting approach 4 cooperate with the locking beads 5 of the receptacle 2, such that the pot-shaped cover mounting piece 6 firmly on the receptacle 2 is located.
  • the container lid 7 is preferably via a film hinge 8 on the lid fastening piece 6 is pivotally articulated and is cross-sectional in such a way adapted the cross section of the receptacle 2 that he in the not shown closed state is close to the receptacle 2, i.e. the refill opening 3 of the receptacle 2 is tightly closed when the container lid 7 is closed.
  • the container lid 7 is closed Condition of a locking lug 9 with a not shown Locking projection cooperates inside the container lid 7 or engages in an opening of the container lid 7, held and can only be opened after sufficient force has been overcome.
  • This Latch 9 is at the same time pressure point or push button to open the container lid 7, which then opens the refill opening 3.
  • the container lid 7 is designed so that it is in its side wall area 7a encloses upper side wall regions 2a of the receptacle 2.
  • the height of the container lid 7 or its side wall regions 7a is included chosen so that in the closed state of the container lid 7 on the protrudes the upper edge of the refill opening 3, i.e. the container lid 7 forms in the closed state above the refill opening 3 of the receptacle 2 a cavity in which with appropriate pivoting of packaging 1 product can enter.
  • a removal opening 10 is provided through which with the container lid 7 closed, product removed from packaging 1 can be.
  • This removal opening 10 can be expanded and retracted by means of a Closure 11, which is pivotable about an axis 12 on the container lid 7 is hinged, lockable.
  • This closure 11 acts it is preferably a so-called seal spout.
  • seal spout is the arrangement preferably taken so that the removal opening in the Film hinge 8 opposite the front end of the container lid 7 is located.
  • the container lid 7 is on the inside provided with chute-like guides 13, which in the area of Discharge opening 10 open and serve the product during removal to direct in the area of the removal opening 10. Combined with the design of the closable removal opening 10 is therefore a largely precisely dosed product removal possible.
  • the underside of the receptacle 2 is preferably on the inside curved inside, this area is designated 14. Because of this curvature 14, it is possible to make a package 1 largely non-slip stack on another suitably designed packaging 1, then the arched area 14 of the upper package 1 on the closed Container lid 7 rests largely form-fitting and at the same time with the lower packaging edge the closed Seal Spout Removal opening 10 keeps closed, so that an unwanted in the stacked state Opening the packaging 1 is not possible.
  • a receiving trough 15 can be placed in the container lid 7 a spoon-shaped metering element, not shown, may be molded in.
  • the removal opening 10 is opened by opening the seal spout 11 opened and product can be removed.
