Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kunststoff-Flasche aus PET, PEN o.dgl., mit einem ringförmigen Stützkragen am Flaschenhals unterhalb des Verschlussgewindes, welcher Stützkragen an seinem Umfang wenigstens teilweise flächige Bereiche aufweist,The present invention relates to a plastic bottle made of PET, PEN or the like. with an annular support collar on the bottle neck below the closure thread, which support collar is at least partially flat on its circumference Has areas
Kunststoff-Flaschen aus PET oder PEN o. dgl., welche im Spritz-Streckblasverfahren hergestellt werden, weisen in der Regel an der Mündung, unterhalb des Verschlussgewindes am Flaschenhals einen ringförmigen Stützkragen auf, welcher dem Transport der Vorformlinge und der Flaschen beim Herstellungs- und Abfüllprozess dienen. Gemäss EP-A-0 403 259 ist hierfür der an seinem Umfang flächige Stützkragen mit radialen Vertiefungen versehen, in die ein Stopp-Stift einer Station zum Auf- oder Abschrauben der Flaschen-Drehkappe eingreift zur Drehverhinderung der betreffenden Flasche. Plastic bottles made of PET or PEN or the like, which in the injection stretch blow molding process produced, usually point at the mouth, below the closure thread on the bottle neck has an annular support collar, which is used to transport the preforms and bottles during manufacturing and filling process. According to EP-A-0 403 259, this is his Provide circumferential support collars with radial recesses into which a Stop pin of a station for screwing the bottle twist cap on or off intervenes to prevent rotation of the bottle in question.
Flaschen dieser Art sind aber im weiteren für eine maschinelle oder manuelle Sortierung nicht oder nicht genügend identifizierbar. Ebenso wenig besteht eine Identifikation als Merkmal für die Bepfandung von Flaschen, als Herstellermerkmal, als Merkmal einer Branchen- oder speziellen Kundenflasche, als Merkmal für ein spezielles Kunststoffmaterial u.a.Bottles of this type are also for a machine or manual Sorting not or not sufficiently identifiable. Neither does one exist Identification as a characteristic for depositing bottles, as a manufacturer characteristic, as a characteristic of an industry or special customer bottle, as a characteristic for a special plastic material etc.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist deshalb die Schaffung von Flaschen der vorgenannten Art, die anhand einer spezifischen Ausbildung und ohne wesentliche Veränderung der Flasche sowie ohne wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Herstellung unverkennbar in vorstehendem Sinne identifizierbar sind.The object of the present invention is therefore to create bottles of aforementioned type, based on specific training and without essential Modification of the bottle and without significant influence on the production are unmistakably identifiable in the above sense.
Dies wird bei einer Kunststoff-Flasche der vorgenannten Art erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass der Stützkragen mindestens auf seiner oberen Ringfläche wenigstens teilweise Facetten aufweist und der Stützkragen wenigstens über einen Teil seines Umfanges vieleckig ausgebildet ist.This is according to the invention in a plastic bottle of the aforementioned type achieved in that the support collar at least on its upper ring surface has at least partially facets and the support collar at least over part of its circumference is polygonal.
Hierbei kann bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung der Stützkragen als 12-Eck bis 24-Eck ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhaft ist dabei, wenn wenigstens teilweise an den flächigen Bereichen am Umfang des Stützkragens jeweils eine Facette auf der oberen Ringfläche des Stützkragens anschliesst. Here, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support collar be designed as a 12-corner to 24-corner. It is advantageous if at least some at the flat areas on the circumference of the support collar Facet connects to the upper ring surface of the support collar.
Durch diese Massnahmen ist es nunmehr möglich, den ringförmigen Stützkragen am Flaschenhals unterhalb des Verschlussgewindes zusätzlich seiner bisherigen Funktion zur Identifikation von Flaschensorten zu verwenden und zwar durch eine, von der herkömmlichen, rein technisch funktionalen Ausgestaltung geringst abweichenden Formgebung. Dabei gestatten die Anordnungen von flächigen Bereichen am Umfang des Stützkragens und/oder von Facetten auf seiner Ringfläche eine praktisch unbegrenzte Vielzahl von Identifikationsmarkierungen, beispielsweise wie erwähnt, zum maschinellen oder manuellen Sortierung von Flaschen, als Markierung für die Bepfandung von Flaschen, als Herstellerkennzeichnung, als Kennzeichnung einer Branchen- oder speziellen Kundenflasche, als Hinweis auf ein spezielles Kunststoffmaterial u.a.Through these measures, it is now possible to use the annular support collar on the bottle neck below the screw thread, in addition to its previous one Function to identify bottle types by one of the conventional, purely technical functional design deviating shape. The arrangements of flat allow Areas on the circumference of the support collar and / or of facets on its ring surface a virtually unlimited variety of identification marks, for example as mentioned, for the mechanical or manual sorting of bottles, as a mark for depositing bottles, as a manufacturer's mark, as identification of an industry or special customer bottle, as a reference to a special plastic material, etc.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen je einen ringförmigen Stützkragen 1 am Flaschenhals
unterhalb des Verschlussgewindes einer Kunststoff-Flasche aus PET, PEN
o.dgl., wobei hier der Stützkragen jeweils eine unterschiedliche Neigung zum
Rand hin aufweist.1 and 2 each show an
Erfindungsgemäss weist hierbei der Stützkragen 1 an seinem Umfang flächige
Bereiche 2 (Fig.3) und auf seiner oberen Ringfläche Facetten 3 auf. Der so umfänglich
vieleckig ausgebildete Stützkragen 1 stellt gemäss Fig. 1 bis 3 ein 24-Eck
dar, wobei an den flächigen Bereichen am Umfang 2 des Stützkragens 1
jeweils eine Facette 3 auf der oberen Ringfläche des Stützkragens anschliesst.According to the invention, the
Bei den teilweise angedeuteten Ausführungsformen gemäss den Fig. 4 und 5 ist der Stützkragen (1) als 12-Eck ausgebildet, wobei die Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 4 ohne Facetten ist.In the partially indicated embodiments according to FIGS. 4 and 5 the support collar (1) is designed as a 12-corner, the embodiment according to Fig. 4 is without facets.
Die Vieleckigkeit nach unten ist natürlich begrenzt durch die notwendige Randbreite des Stützkragens.The polygonality down is of course limited by the necessary border width of the support collar.
Eine praktisch unbegrenzte Vielzahl von Kodierungsmöglichkeiten ergibt sich nun dadurch, dass der Stützkragen an seinem Umfang auch nur teilweise flächige Bereiche und/oder mindestens auf seiner oberen Ringfläche wenigstens teilweise Facetten aufweist.There is a practically unlimited number of coding options now that the support collar is only partially flat on its circumference Areas and / or at least partially on its upper ring surface Has facets.
Weiter kann auch oder nur die Unterseite des Stützkragens facettiert sein.In addition, or only the underside of the support collar can be faceted.
Diese erfindungsgemässen Massnahmen gestatten, den ringförmigen Stützkragen am Flaschenhals unterhalb des Verschlussgewindes nunmehr zusätzlich seiner bisherigen Funktion zur Identifikation von Flaschensorten zu verwenden, etwa zum maschinellen oder manuellen Sortierung von Flaschen, als Markierung für die Bepfandung von Flaschen, als Herstellerkennzeichnung, als Kennzeichnung einer Branchen- oder speziellen Kundenflasche, als Hinweis auf ein spezielles Kunststoffmaterial u.a.These measures according to the invention allow the annular support collar on the bottle neck below the closure thread now additionally to use its previous function to identify bottle types, For example, for the mechanical or manual sorting of bottles, as a marking for depositing bottles, as manufacturer identification, as identification an industry or special customer bottle, as an indication of a special one Plastic material etc.
