Definitions

  • This invention relates to lightweight disposable tubular containers, particularly but not exclusively for direct primary packaging of perishable goods such as foodstuffs, for example biscuits, and made of barrier coated card.
  • barrier coated card we mean cardboard, paperboard or similar lightweight semi-rigid sheet material having on at least one face a coating or layer of a metallic and/or plastics hermetic sealing material such as aluminium foil and/or polyethylene.
  • the present invention provides a tubular container for perishable goods, having a tubular body made of a single sheet of barrier coated card made into tubular form with coating material on the inside and with its opposite edges sealed together lengthwise of the tube, and hermetically sealed at its ends by suitable end closures.
  • the invention provides a method of making such a tubular container, comprising taking a sheet of barrier coated card, printing desired subject matter on one side, then wrapping the sheet around forming means with the printing on the outside and coating material on the inside, then sealing the opposite edges of the sheet together lengthwise to form a tubular body, and then applying hermetically sealed closures to both ends.
  • the contents will of course be inserted at an appropriate stage, usually after one end closure has been applied.
  • the said forming means may however be constituted by the contents, around which the sheet is wrapped. Alternatively it may be wrapped around a mandrel.
  • the said opposite edges of the sheet are overlapped. They may then be sealed together in any convenient fashion, such as ultrasonically or by means of hot melt adhesive.
  • the said end closures are plastics caps applied over the ends of the tube and hermetically sealed thereto in any convenient fashion, such as ultrasonically or by hot melt adhesive.
  • At least one of the end closures is arranged to be readily openable by an end user.
  • a plastics cap such a facility may be provided by means of a tear strip extending around the side wall of the cap, which when removed releases a lid portion thereof which may then be removed and replaced as desired.
  • a lid portion could be a clip fit on the tubular body.
  • at least one of the end closures could be made of barrier coated card like the tubular body, hermetically sealed to the latter.
  • Other alternatives are to provide end closures in the form of metal caps, or to use a metal or paper diaphragm sealed to the tubular body and covered by a push on cap.
  • the tubular body of a container according to the invention could be made of sheet plastics material, in which case it would not of course be necessary to provide it with a separate coating of hermetic sealing material.
  • Tubular containers according to the invention may be of any desired shape in transverse cross section but will generally (but not essentially) be of rounded shape, e.g. circular, or elliptical, or with three or more straight sides and rounded corners.
  • the sheet 1 of barrier card shown in Figure 1 is plastics coated on its top side and has already been printed on that side in an area indicated at 2, the areas 3 being left unprinted to enable them to be sealed as described hereinafter.
  • the other side of the sheet is coated with aluminium foil and plastics in well known fashion.
  • the sheet 1 is wrapped around a circular cylindrical mandrel 4 and its overlapping edges 5 (being parts of the area 3) are sealed together ultrasonically to form a tubular body.
  • FIG 3 shows a finished container fitted with top and bottom end closures 6 and 7 respectively, each comprising a plastics cap engaged over an end of the tubular body and hermetically sealed thereto by ultrasonics, or by adhesive or tape.
  • the top closure 6 incorporates a tear strip 8 which when removed as shown in Figure 4 enables the lid portion 9 of the closure to be removed and replaced as desired.
  • the region 10 of the top closure, below the tear strip 8 is sealed to the tubular body, so as to leave the tear strip and the lid portion 9 free for removal.
  • the end closures could alternatively fit inside the tube, for example to form a recessed base.
