Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verpackung, insbesondere für flache, aufeinander gestapelte Güter, wie beispielsweise Chips, Kekse oder ähnliches.The invention relates to packaging, in particular for flat, stacked goods, such as Chips, cookies or the like.

Derartige Güter müssen in geeigneter Weise gestapelt verpackt werden, um zum einen Beschädigungen zu vermeiden und um zum anderen ein möglichst geringes Verpackungsvolumen zu erzielen.Such goods must be packed in a suitably stacked manner to avoid damage and on the other hand to minimize the packaging volume achieve.

Durch die kompakte Schichtung der zu verpackenden Güter wird weiterhin verhindert, daß diese beim Transport durch äußere Krafteinwirkung beschädigt werden, beispielsweise zerbrechen oder zerbröseln.Due to the compact layering of the goods to be packed further prevents this during transportation by external The application of force can be damaged, e.g. break or crumble.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, derartige flache, aufeinander gestapelte Güter entweder in weichen Verpackungen zu vermarkten, welche, wie beispielsweise bei Keksen bekannt, aufgerissen werden, um auf diese Weise die einzelnen Güter oder Produkte zu entnehmen. Diese Verpackungen haben den Nachteil, daß sie bei einem Teilverzehr der Güter nicht wieder verschließbar sind. Weiterhin sind diese Verpackungen optisch nicht immer den Anforderungen entsprechend und schützen zudem die Güter nur teilweise.It is known from the prior art to use flat, stacked goods either in soft packaging to market which, such as cookies known to be ripped open in this way to the individual Remove goods or products. This packaging have the disadvantage that they are at a partial consumption of the goods cannot be closed again. Furthermore, these are packaging optically not always according to the requirements and also only partially protect the goods.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit der Verpackung derartiger Güter besteht darin, diese in eine zusätzliche Auflageschale, Ummantelung oder ähnliches einzulegen und diese zusammen mit dieser Auflageschale, Ummantelung etc. aus der eigentlichen Verpackung zu entnehmen, um die Güter zu verzehren. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein zusätzlicher Verpackungsaufwand, weiterhin können die Verpackungen nicht wieder verschlossen werden.Another possibility is to pack such goods in this, in an additional support shell, sheathing or the like and put them together with this support shell, casing etc. from the actual one Take the packaging to eat the goods. hereby there is an additional packaging effort, still the packaging cannot be closed again become.

Ganz generell zeigt der Stand der Technik röhrenförmige, meist zylindrische Verpackungen für derartige Güter, beispielsweise Kartoffelchips. Diese Verpackungen sind unter anderem in der DE 26 20 160 C3 oder der DE 17 61 758 B2 beschrieben. Es ist zwar möglich, diese Verpackungen nach teilweisem Verzehr der Chips wieder zu verschließen, die Entleerung oder Entnahme der Verpackungen ist jedoch unhandlich.In general, the prior art shows tubular, mostly cylindrical packaging for such goods, for example Potato Chips. This packaging is under other described in DE 26 20 160 C3 or DE 17 61 758 B2. While it is possible to post this packaging Reseal partial consumption of the chips However, emptying or removing the packaging is unwieldy.

Das US-Patent 2,110,615 beschreibt eine Verpackung mit einem rohrförmigen Körper, in welchen ein verschiebbarer Boden eingesetzt ist. In den Körper ist ein Beutel eingelegt, der sich über den Rand des Körpers erstreckt und an einer verschiebbaren Hülse befestigt ist. Durch Verschieben des Bodens relativ zu dem Körper ist der Verpackungsinhalt, beispielsweise Speiseeis, aus dem Körper herausdrückbar. Hierbei wird der Beutel zusammen mit dem Inhalt nach oben geschoben. Die Hülse dient dazu, den Beutelrand nach unten weg zu ziehen.US Patent 2,110,615 describes a package with one tubular body, in which a sliding floor is used. A bag is inserted into the body that extends over the edge of the body and at one slidable sleeve is attached. By moving the Soil relative to the body is the package contents, For example, ice cream that can be pushed out of the body. Here, the pouch is flipped up with the contents pushed. The sleeve serves to pull the edge of the bag down to draw.

Dieser Verpackung liegt somit das Grundprinzip zugrunde, die Entnahme des Inhalts aus dem rohrförmigen Körper der Verpackung durch Verschieben des Bodens zu ermöglichen. Ein nochmaliges Verschließen oder eine teilweise Entnahme der Füllung ist hierbei nicht möglich. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass der an der Hülse befestigte Beutel mit seiner durch die Füllung der Verpackung beschmutzten Seite nach außen gelangt und somit die Hände des Benutzers beschmutzt werden.This packaging is based on the basic principle that Removing the contents from the tubular body of the packaging by moving the floor. Another one Reseal or partially remove the filling is not possible here. Another disadvantage is in that the bag attached to the sleeve with its by the filling of the packaging soiled side to the outside reaches and thus the hands of the user are dirty.

Das US-Patent 4,052,838 beschreibt eine Verpackungsmaschine, bei welcher einzelne, flache, aufeinander gestapelte Güter über eine Einführrutsche in zylindrische Aufnahmeröhren eingelegt werden, aus denen sie in eine zylindrische Verpackung überführt werden können. Die Verpackung ist weder mit einem Beutel versehen noch weist sie mehrere, zusatzliche Elemente auf. U.S. Patent 4,052,838 describes a packaging machine in which single, flat, stacked goods inserted into cylindrical receiving tubes via an insertion chute from which they are packed in a cylindrical package can be transferred. The packaging is neither with one The bag also has several additional elements on.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung für flache, aufeinander gestapelte Güter zu schaffen, welche bei einfacher, kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit einfach aufgebaut ist, bei welcher die einzelnen Produkte oder Güter bequem stückweise entnommen werden können und welche wiederverschließbar ist.The invention has for its object a packaging for flat, stacked goods, which simply constructed with simple, inexpensive manufacturability is where the individual products or goods Can be conveniently removed piece by piece and which can be resealed is.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Verpackung mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Die Unteransprüche zeigen weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung. Erfindungsgemäß ist weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung und Befüllung einer derartigen Verpackung vorgeschlagen.According to the invention, the task is carried out by packaging solved the features of the main claim. The subclaims show further advantageous embodiments of the invention. According to the invention is also a method for manufacturing and filling of such a packaging is proposed.

Erfindungsgemäß umfaßt die Verpackung somit ein im wesentlichen rohrförmiges Unterteil und ein im wesentlichen rohrförmiges, an dem Unterteil, dieses zum Teil umgreifend, verschiebbar gelagertes Oberteil. Weiterhin ist ein am unteren Bereich des Oberteils befestigter, in das Unterteil eingelegter Beutel vorgesehen.According to the invention, the packaging thus essentially comprises a tubular lower part and an essentially tubular, on the lower part, partially encompassing it, can be moved stored top. Furthermore, one is at the bottom Area of the upper part fastened, inserted in the lower part Bag provided.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe erheblicher Vorteile aus.The packaging according to the invention is characterized by a A number of significant advantages.

Durch die teleskopierbare Verschiebbarkeit des Oberteils relativ zu dem Unterteil läßt sich die Gesamthöhe der Verpackung während des Entnahmevorgangs reduzieren, so daß die gestapelten Produkte durch Niederdrücken des rohrförmigen Oberteils freigelegt und dem Benutzer präsentiert werden. Der in das Unterteil ragende Beutel verschließt zum einen den unteren Bereich der Verpackung, da er mit dem Oberteil dicht und fest verbunden ist. Zum anderen bewirkt ein teleskopisches Verschieben des Oberteils relativ zu dem Unterteil zugleich ein Anheben des Beutels, so daß die Produkte um einen entsprechenden Verschiebeweg des Oberteils relativ zu dem Unterteil angehoben werden.Due to the telescopic displaceability of the upper part relatively the total height of the packaging can be added to the lower part reduce during the removal process so that the stacked products by depressing the tubular Top exposed and presented to the user. The bag protruding into the lower part closes on the one hand the lower part of the packaging as it is with the top is tightly and firmly connected. Secondly, a telescopic Moving the upper part relative to the lower part at the same time lifting the bag so that the products by a corresponding displacement path of the upper part relative be raised to the lower part.

Das Oberteil und das Unterteil führen zu einer starren, die Produkte oder Güter schützenden Verpackung. Da der Beutel fest mit dem Oberteil verbunden ist, ergibt sich eine feuchtigkeits- und geruchsdichte Verpackungseinheit und es kann vorteilhaft sein, die obere Öffnung des Oberteils nach dem Befüllen mit einer dichten Folie zu verschließen, die zugleich den oberen Abschluß der Verpackung bildet. Die Folie, welche alternativ als auch Aufreißdeckel etc. ausgestaltet sein kann, verhindert im gefüllten Zustand der Verpackung ein teleskopisches Verschieben der beiden Verpackungshälften, so daß auch die Länge der Verpackung im wesentlichen stabil bleibt.The top and bottom result in a rigid that Products or goods protective packaging. Because the bag is firmly connected to the upper part, there is a moisture and odor-proof packaging unit and it can be advantageous, the upper opening of the upper part after the Fill with a dense foil to seal that at the same time forms the upper end of the packaging. The foil, which alternatively designed as tear-open lid etc. can be prevented when the packaging is filled a telescopic shifting of the two packaging halves, so that the length of the package essentially remains stable.

Bei der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Beutel so dimensioniert ist, daß er im wesentlichen auf dem Boden des Unterteils aufliegt, wenn sich das Oberteil in der maximal vom Unterteil weq erstreckten Position befindet.The invention provides that the bag is dimensioned so that it essentially rests on the bottom of the base when the upper part in the maximum from the lower part weq Position.

Das Oberteil und das Unterteil sind bevorzugterweise als zylindrische Rohre ausgebildet, sie können jedoch auch in polygonaler Form, beispielsweise rechteckig, quadratisch, als Sechs- oder Achteck, ausgestaltet sein. Insofern ergeben sich erfindungsgemäß die unterschiedlichsten Formvarianten, welche eine Anpassung an die jeweiligen Produkte in optimaler weise ermöglichen. The top and bottom are preferably as cylindrical tubes formed, but they can also in polygonal shape, for example rectangular, square, as a hexagon or octagon. So far according to the invention, the most varied of shapes, which an adaptation to the respective products in an optimal enable wisely.

Das Unterteil ist mit einem Boden versehen.The lower part is provided with a bottom.

Dieser kann einstückig mit dem Unterteil ausgebildet sein, es ist jedoch auch möglich, ein zusätzliches Bodenelement nachträglich an dem Rohr des Unterteils zu befestigen.This can be formed in one piece with the lower part However, it is also possible to add one To attach the bottom element to the pipe of the lower part.

Auf das Oberteil ist ein.lösbarer Deckel aufgesetzt, welcher zum einen die bereits erwähnte Verschlußfolie schützt und welcher des weiteren ein jederzeitiges Verschließen der Verpackung nach einer Teilentnahme der Produkte ermöglicht.A removable lid is placed on the top, which on the one hand the sealing film already mentioned protects and which furthermore at any time Close the packaging after a partial removal of the Products.

Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion der Verpackung gestattet es, das Oberteil und das Unterteil jeweils mit gleichem Querschnitt, beispielsweise beide als zylindrische Teile, auszubilden. Alternativ hierzu ist es jedoch auch möglich, unterschiedliche Querschnitte vorzusehen, beispielsweise einen zylindrischen Querschnitt für das Unterteil und einen polygonalen Querschnitt für das Oberteil. Hierdurch lassen sich vielfältige, den optischen Anforderungen folgende Varianten realisieren, unabhängig von der Form der jeweils zu verpackenden Produkte.The construction of the packaging according to the invention allows it, the top and the bottom each with the same Cross section, for example both as cylindrical parts, train. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to provide different cross sections, for example a cylindrical cross section for the lower part and a polygonal cross section for the top. Let her through diverse, following the optical requirements Realize variants, regardless of the shape of each products to be packaged.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist darauf hinzuweisen, daß die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung selbstverständlich auch für anders geformte Güter einsetzbar ist, welche hinsichtlich der leichten Entnehmbarkeit dem Konsumenten entsprechend präsentiert werden sollen.In this connection it should be noted that the invention Of course, packaging for others shaped goods can be used, which in terms of Ease of removal presented to the consumer accordingly should be.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es günstig, wenn der Beutel im wesentlichen in der Querschnittsform des Oberteils und/oder des Unterteils ausgebildet ist. Der Beutel kann jedoch auch kleiner dimensioniert sein, um eine optimale Anpassung an die zu verpackenden Güter zu ermöglichen.In a development of the invention, it is advantageous if the bag is substantially in the cross-sectional shape of the top and / or the lower part is formed. The bag can however also be dimensioned smaller in order to achieve an optimal To enable adaptation to the goods to be packaged.

Der Beutel ist bevorzugterweise geruchs- und feuchtigkeitsdicht mit dem Oberteil verbunden, beispielsweise durch Verkleben, Verschweißen oder ähnliches. Die Verbindung weist eine ausreichende Festigkeit auf, um ein Ablösen des Beutels während des teleskopischen Verschiebevorgangs zu verhindern.The bag is preferably odor and moisture proof connected to the top, for example by gluing, Welding or the like. The connection points sufficient strength to detach the bag to prevent during the telescopic displacement process.

Erfindungsgemäß können das Oberteil und das Unterteil in unterschiedlichster Weise hergestellt werden. Es ist möglich, Kunststoff- oder Papprohre zu verwenden, auch metallische Verpackungen sind möglich. Bei Papp- oder Papierverpackungen bietet es sich an, diese als gewickelte Rohre herzustellen, die zusätzlich mit einer geeigneten Oberflächenbeschichtung versehen sein können. Der Boden des Unterteils und/oder der abnehmbare Deckel können aus Kunststoff, aus Metall oder aus einem anderen Werkstoff hergestellt werden.According to the upper part and the lower part in can be produced in many different ways. It is possible, Use plastic or cardboard tubes, including metallic ones Packaging is possible. For cardboard or paper packaging it makes sense to manufacture these as coiled tubes, which additionally with a suitable surface coating can be provided. The bottom of the base and / or the removable cover can be made of plastic Metal or made of another material.

Hinsichtlich des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, daß zunächst an dem vorgefertigten Oberteil der Beutel befestigt wird, daß in das Oberteil und in den Beutel die zu verpackenden Güter eingelegt werden und daß nachfolgend das Unterteil auf den Beutel aufgeschoben und dann um einen geringen Betrag seiner Länge in das Oberteil eingefügt wird und daß nachfolgend ein lösbarer Deckel auf das Oberteil aufgesetzt wird.With regard to the method according to the invention, that first on the prefabricated top of the bag attached that in the top and in the bag the goods to be packed are inserted and that subsequently the lower part slipped onto the bag and then around inserted a small amount of its length into the top and that a detachable cover is subsequently placed on the upper part.

Durch das Anbringen des Beutels, welcher als Schlauchbeutel ausgebildet sein kann, ist sichergestellt, daß dieser beschädigungsfrei und mit der erforderlichen Dichtigkeit mit dem Oberteil verbunden werden kann. Der Beutel kann beispielsweise durch Umschlingen eines Formträgers, an welchen das Oberteil angelegt oder auf welchen dieses aufgeschoben ist, hergestellt werden, wobei nachfolgend die Beutel-Folie, beispielsweise durch eine Längsnaht, verschlossen wird. Zur Fertigstellung des Beutels ist es dann lediglich erforderlich, das freie Ende desselben zu verschließen.By attaching the bag, which is used as a tubular bag can be formed, it is ensured that this is damage-free and with the required tightness with can be connected to the top. The bag can, for example by wrapping a mold carrier on which put on the top or on which it is pushed is produced, the bag film, for example by a longitudinal seam. to Completion of the bag is then only necessary to close the free end of the same.

Die Güter werden gestapelt in das Oberteil bzw. den Beutel eingelegt, hierfür kann eine Hilfseinrichtung, beispielsweise eine Schiene oder ähnliches, vorgesehen werden. Das Einführen oder Einlegen der Güter kann horizontal oder vertikal erfolgen, abhängig von der Art der Güter, der jeweils zu verwendenden Verpackungsmaschine usw.The goods are stacked in the top part or the bag an auxiliary device, for example a rail or the like can be provided. Introducing or loading the goods can be horizontal or vertical take place, depending on the type of goods, each to packaging machine etc.

Als zusätzliche Maßnahme kann die gesamte, befüllte und verschlossene Verpackung nochmals mit einer Schrumpffolie, einer Schutzfolie oder ähnlichem eingewickelt werden.As an additional measure, the whole, filled and sealed Packaging again with a shrink film, be wrapped in a protective film or the like.

Dies führt zu einem Hochziehen des unteren Beutelbereichs durch ein Herunterdrücken des Oberteils 4. Hierdurch wird der Stapel der verpackten Güter 1 angehoben und zur leichten Entnahme präsentiert. Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen weiterhin einen Deckel 6, welcher auf das Oberteil 4 aufsetzbar ist und mit Hilfe dessen die Verpackung jederzeit wieder verschlossen werden kann. Es versteht sich, daß bei einer Teilentnahme der Güter gemäß Fig. 2 ein Hochschieben des Oberteils 4 relativ zu dem Unterteil 3 ein Absenken des Beutels 5 und damit des Stapels der Güter 1 bewirkt, so daß der Deckel 6 nachfolgend problemlos aufsetzbar ist.2 and 5, in comparison to FIGS. 1 and 4, can the upper part 4 telescopic relative to the lower part 3 be moved. As a result, the bag 5, which is attached to the lower edge of the upper part 4, over the pulled the upper edge of the lower part 3. This leads to one Pull up the lower bag area by pressing down of the upper part 4. This will stack the packaged Goods 1 raised and presented for easy removal. 1 and 2 also show a cover 6, which can be placed on the upper part 4 and with the help whose packaging can be closed again at any time can. It is understood that with a partial removal of the goods 2 pushing up the upper part 4 relative to the Lower part 3 a lowering of the bag 5 and thus the stack causes the goods 1, so that the cover 6 subsequently without problems is attachable.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt die Verpackung im vollständig entleerten Zustand. In diesem ist das Oberteil 4 vollständig auf das Unterteil 3 aufgeschoben, so daß sich insgesamt ein sehr geringes Restvolumen ergibt.3 shows the packaging in a completely emptied state Status. In this, the upper part 4 is completely on the Lower part 3 pushed on, so that overall a very low residual volume results.

Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen in der Abfolge die unterschiedlichen Verfahrensschritte zur Herstellung und Befüllung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung. 6 and 7 show the different in the sequence Process steps for the production and filling of the invention Packaging.

Zunächst wird ein Oberteil 4 gefertigt, beispielsweise durch Spritzguß, durch Biegen einer rechteckigen Platte und nachfolgendes Längsverbinden der Kanten oder durch Wickeln von Streifen, beispielsweise aus Pappe, Papier oder Metall.First, an upper part 4 is manufactured, for example by Injection molding, by bending a rectangular plate and subsequent Connect the edges lengthways or by wrapping Stripes, for example made of cardboard, paper or metal.

Das Oberteil 4 wird an einen Formträger 7 angelegt oder teilweise auf diesen aufgeschoben. Um den Formträger 7 wird eine Folie 9 gewickelt, welche nachfolgend geschnitten und längs verklebt, verschweißt oder auf andere Weise zu einem Beutel 5 gefügt wird.The upper part 4 is placed on a mold carrier 7 or partially pushed onto this. Around the mold carrier 7 a film 9 is wound, which is subsequently cut and glued lengthways, welded or in any other way to one Bag 5 is added.

Nachfolgend wird durch eine Verschlußeinrichtung 10 das offene Ende des Beutels 5 dicht verschlossen.This is followed by a closure device 10 open end of the bag 5 tightly closed.

Wie die Fig. 6 zeigt, wird ein vorgefertiges Unterteil 3 mittels einer Vorrichtung 11 mit einem Boden 2 abgedichtet.6 shows a prefabricated lower part 3 sealed by means of a device 11 with a bottom 2.

Die zu verpackenden Güter 1 sind gestapelt in eine schienen- oder wannenartige Hilfseinrichtung 8 eingelegt worden. Die Hilfseinrichtung 8 wird nachfolgend in das Oberteil 4 und den Beutel 5 eingeschoben.The goods 1 to be packed are stacked in a rail or tub-like auxiliary device 8 has been inserted. The Auxiliary device 8 is subsequently in the upper part 4 and the bag 5 inserted.

Die vorgenannten Verfahrensschritte können in horizontaler Ausrichtung des Oberteils und des Unterteils der Verpackung durchgeführt werden, um eine leichte Handhabbarkeit der zu verpackenden Güter sicherzustellen.The aforementioned process steps can be carried out horizontally Alignment of the top and bottom of the packaging be carried out for easy manageability of the ensure packing goods.

Nachfolgend wird die gefüllte Anordnung aus dem Unterteil 3 und dem Oberteil 4 um 90° in eine vertikale Stellung verschwenkt. Nachfolgend kann, wie in Fig. 7 gezeigt, die Hilfseinrichtung 8 nach oben abgezogen werden. Mittels einer Verschlußvorrichtung 12 wird im nächsten Arbeitsschritt eine Siegelfolie 13 auf den oberen Randbereich des Oberteils 4 aufgebracht, um dessen Innenraum dicht zu verschließen. Nachfolgend wird aus einem Magazin ein Deckel 6 zugeführt und auf das Oberteil 4 aufgesetzt. Somit ist die vollständig verschlossene Verpackung fertiggestellt.In the following, the filled arrangement from the lower part 3 and pivoted the upper part 4 by 90 ° into a vertical position. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7, the Auxiliary device 8 are withdrawn upwards. By means of a Closure device 12 is a in the next step Sealing film 13 on the upper edge area of the upper part 4 applied to close its interior tightly. A cover 6 is subsequently fed from a magazine and placed on the upper part 4. So it is complete sealed packaging completed.
