Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paint container system, consisting of a bucket-shaped container with a peripheral side wall area closed on one side by a base and a lid for closing the container at the open edge region of the side wall region opposite the base.
- EP 0 723 918 A1 shows a cylindrical or oval bucket-shaped container which can be closed by a cover which is clamped onto the edge of the container.
- the container can be provided with a carrying handle and have information carriers arranged on the outside, on which the necessary information about the contents of the bucket is arranged, usually by printing.
- Such information carriers are generally label-like, so that they can be applied to the bucket after the bucket has been produced, possibly also after the automatic filling, for example by gluing.
- Known containers are preferably made of polypropylene for receiving emulsion paints and water-soluble paints.
- polypropylene for receiving emulsion paints and water-soluble paints.
- This material can be processed well in the injection molding process used in the manufacture of the containers.
- this material is compared to other plastics that contain plasticizers, for example, no significant migration.
- a disadvantage of polypropylene, however, is that it is inherently soft. This poses the risk, particularly in the case of small containers, that lateral pressure is exerted on the container during stacking, transport, etc., which causes the lid to flake off. The color in the interior of the container then runs out disadvantageously. Smaller containers in particular must therefore have such a stability that they can withstand such lateral pressure.
- inking systems have also become established in mass business, in which an exact amount of pigment components are mixed into a white color, so that a defined color tone results. In this case too, users should be able to recognize and check the color tone.
- the present invention has for its object to improve a paint container system of the generic type in such a way that an unimpeded and meaningful visual inspection of the contents of the container is possible without opening the container.
- a paint container system is to be created, the container of which is easy and safe to handle even with a small construction.
- the invention proposes a paint container system, which is characterized in that the container is provided with at least one label-like information carrier, at least the side wall region of the container being at least partially formed and the information carrier made of transparent material and that the container for increasing the The strength and stability of the side wall area below the edge opposite the floor has a circumferential functional ring reinforced by ribs.
- the ink container system according to the invention enables consumers to check the state of the contents of the container on the one hand, as well as the color of the contents of the container in its natural appearance, almost unimpeded.
- the ink container system according to the invention can be produced economically without having to fundamentally change conventional production processes.
- the bucket-shaped container can be produced in a manner known per se from plastic, preferably polypropylene, by the injection molding process, the type of plastic formulation causing a more or less pronounced clouding of the transparency.
- the turbidity is reduced to a minimum over the entire surface. A lower limit can result from the softness of the plastic.
- the hardening additives increase the haze.
- the largely transparent container which can also be completely transparent, can indicate areas of different cloudiness.
- a circumferential edge of strong turbidity arranged on the top of the container can be provided, through which the surface of the color content cannot be recognized. This measure achieves a uniformly clean appearance in the area of the surface level of the color content.
- the information carrier is advantageously a film which is printed with the required information, names, advertising information, product and processing data and the like.
- Part of the side wall area itself can also be designed as an information carrier and be prepared for printing.
- the lid can be colored in the same color as the color filled in the bucket at the factory.
- a color container system that is simple and economical to produce is provided, which allows the view of the color in the container and the detection of the color tone largely unimpeded. Even in the area of printed information, the view of the container contents is hardly impeded for the consumer.
- the container has a circumferential functional ring below the edge opposite the bottom.
- This circumferential functional ring on the outside of the container can be arranged on the container by ribs.
- This functional ring can be designed as a second clamping plane for the cover and can have an engagement trough.
- a tamper-evident device can also be arranged here.
- the functional ring can be designed to receive a carrying handle, which can also be detachable.
- the functional ring also represents a stacking aid, and finally the functional ring can stabilize the container in terms of its strength.
- the lid can have an additional, closable opening, as a result of which the entire color container is particularly suitable for the inking systems described above.
- the additional opening can also be used in a conventional manner for introducing color pigments into the paint in the container without having to open the entire container.
- a container 1 is shown, consisting of a container 2 made of transparent plastic and a lid 3 also made of plastic, which, however, does not necessarily have to be transparent.
- the lid 3 has a closable opening 4, in which there is a stopper-like closure in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the container 2 has a bottom 5, which is likewise transparent in the exemplary embodiment shown, and a circumferential functional ring 6 in the upper edge region.
- This circumferential functional ring 6 consists of a ring trained plastic lip, which is stiffened by underlying reinforcing ribs.
- the upper edge 8 of the functional ring 6 is designed such that the lid 3 pressed onto the container edge 9 is also pressed onto the functional edge with its lower edge, that is to say it has two different clamping areas. In this way, tamper-evident protection can be easily formed between the cover and the functional ring.
- the functional ring has a recess 7.
- the entire functional ring can also be made of transparent plastic.
- Dashed line 10 shows an edge through which an annular strip is formed in the container together with the upper container edge 9. This can be colored with a strong clouding of the plastic or opaque. This upper opaque edge brings about a clean and always uniform appearance of the filled container 2, without an unclean upper mirror being produced, for example, by movement and thus blurring of the color in the container 2.
- a label as shown in FIG. 2 can be applied to the container shown in FIG. 1, which label is formed in the exemplary embodiment shown from a transparent film 11 printed with information 12. It is obvious that the label from the film 11 applied to the container 2 does not obstruct the view of the product.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Farbgebindesystem, bestehend aus einem eimerförmigen Behälter mit einem einseitig durch einen Boden verschlossenen, umlaufenden Seitenwandbereich und einem Deckel zum Verschließen des Behälters an dem dem Boden gegenüberliegenden offenen Randbereich des Seitenwandbereichs.The present invention relates to a paint container system, consisting of a bucket-shaped container with a peripheral side wall area closed on one side by a base and a lid for closing the container at the open edge region of the side wall region opposite the base.
Farbgebindesysteme der gattungsgemäßen Art sind an sich aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise der EP 0 723 918 A1, bekannt und in großem Umfang im alltäglichen Einsatz. So zeigt die EP 0 723 918 A1 einen zylindrisch oder oval ausgebildeten eimerförmigen Behälter, der durch einen auf den Rand des Behälters aufgeklemmten Deckel verschlossen werden kann. Der Behälter kann mit einem Tragebügel versehen sein und an der Außenseite angeordnete Informationsträger aufweisen, auf denen die notwendigen Informationen über den Eimerinhalt angeordnet sind, meist durch Aufdrucken. Derartige Informationsträger sind in der Regel etikettartig ausgebildet, so daß sie nach Herstellung des Eimers, ggf. auch nach der automatischen Befüllung beispielsweise durch Kleben auf den Eimer aufgebracht werden können.Colored packaging systems of the generic type are known per se from the prior art, for example EP 0 723 918 A1, and are widely used in everyday use. For example, EP 0 723 918 A1 shows a cylindrical or oval bucket-shaped container which can be closed by a cover which is clamped onto the edge of the container. The container can be provided with a carrying handle and have information carriers arranged on the outside, on which the necessary information about the contents of the bucket is arranged, usually by printing. Such information carriers are generally label-like, so that they can be applied to the bucket after the bucket has been produced, possibly also after the automatic filling, for example by gluing.
Vorbekannte Behälter werden zur Aufnahme von Dispersionsfarben und wasserlöslichen Lacken vorzugsweise aus Polypropylen gefertigt. Grund hierfür ist, daß sich dieser Werkstoff in dem bei der Herstellung der Behälter angewendeten Spritzgußverfahren gut verarbeiten läßt. Außerdem geht von diesem Wekstoff im Vergleich zu anderen Kunststoffen, die beispielsweise Weichmacher enthalten, keine nennenswerte Migration aus. Von Nachteil bei Polypropylen ist jedoch, daß dieses von Natur aus weich ist. Dieses birgt insbesondere bei kleinen Behältern die Gefahr, daß beim Stapeln, beim Transport usw. seitlicher Druck auf den Behälter ausgeübt wird, der den Deckel zum Abplatzen bringt. In nachteiliger Weise kommt es dann zu einem Auslaufen der im Behälterinneren befindlichen Farbe. Insbesondere kleinere Behälter müssen daher eine solche Stabilität aufweisen, daß sie einem solchen seitlichen Druck standhalten können.Known containers are preferably made of polypropylene for receiving emulsion paints and water-soluble paints. The reason for this is that this material can be processed well in the injection molding process used in the manufacture of the containers. In addition, this material is compared to other plastics that contain plasticizers, for example, no significant migration. A disadvantage of polypropylene, however, is that it is inherently soft. This poses the risk, particularly in the case of small containers, that lateral pressure is exerted on the container during stacking, transport, etc., which causes the lid to flake off. The color in the interior of the container then runs out disadvantageously. Smaller containers in particular must therefore have such a stability that they can withstand such lateral pressure.
Allgemein ist es bei Farben wünschenswert, daß die Verbraucher einerseits den Zustand der im Behälter befindlichen Farbe überprüfen können, andererseits aus gestalterischen Zwecken den Farbton möglichst naturgetreu erkennen und ggf. vergleichen können. Dies ist jedoch bei derzeit im Verkehr befindlichen Farbgebindesystemen nicht möglich. Insbesondere die in großen Mengen hergestellten und in Verkehr gebrachten Wandfarben, die darüber hinaus vorrangig in Baumarktketten vertrieben werden, werden meist zu Zwecken der universellen Einsetzbarkeit in weißen Kunststoffeimem in den Verkehr gebracht. Häufig können vorgemischte Farben anhand von aufgeklebten Farbidentifikatoren erkannt werden, welche jedoch üblicherweise nicht naturgetreu die im Behälter befindliche Farbe wiedergeben. Ein Öffnen der Gebinde ist selbstverständlich aus Originalitätsgründen zu Prüfzwecken nicht vorgesehen.In general, it is desirable for colors that consumers can check the condition of the color in the container on the one hand, and on the other hand, for design purposes, recognize the color tone as realistically as possible and compare it if necessary. However, this is not possible with color container systems currently on the market. In particular, the wall paints, which are produced in large quantities and placed on the market, and which are also primarily sold in DIY chains, are usually marketed for the purpose of universal use in white plastic containers. Often, premixed colors can be recognized by means of glued-on color identifiers, which, however, usually do not reflect the color in the container in a lifelike manner. For reasons of originality, it is of course not intended to open the containers for testing purposes.
In jüngerer Zeit setzen sich auch im Massengeschäft sogenannte Tintingsysteme durch, bei welchen in eine weiße Farbe eine exakte Menge von Pigmentanteilen eingemischt wird, so daß sich ein definierter Farbton ergibt. Auch in diesem Fall sollte den Benutzem ermöglicht werden, den Farbton zu erkennen und zu überprüfen.More recently, so-called inking systems have also become established in mass business, in which an exact amount of pigment components are mixed into a white color, so that a defined color tone results. In this case too, users should be able to recognize and check the color tone.
Ausgehend von dem o. g. Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Farbgebindesystem der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß eine möglichst ungehinderte und aussagekräftige optische Überprüfung des Behälterinhaltes ohne Öffnung des Behälters ermöglicht ist. Zudem soll ein Farbgebindesystem geschaffen werden, dessen Behälter auch bei einer kleinen Bauweise gut und sicher handhabbar ist.Based on the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention has for its object to improve a paint container system of the generic type in such a way that an unimpeded and meaningful visual inspection of the contents of the container is possible without opening the container. In addition, a paint container system is to be created, the container of which is easy and safe to handle even with a small construction.
Zur technischen Lösung wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen ein Farbgebindesystem, welches dadurch gekennzeicht ist, daß der Behälter mit wenigstens einem etikettartigen Informationsträger versehen ist, wobei wenigstens der Seitenwandbereich des Behälters wenigstens teilweise und der Informationsträger aus durchsichtigem Material gebildet sind und daß der Behälter zur Erhöhung der Festigkeit und Stabilität des Seitenwandbereiches unterhalb des dem Boden gegenüberliegenden Randes einen umlaufenden, mittels Rippen verstärkten Funktionsring aufweist.For the technical solution , the invention proposes a paint container system, which is characterized in that the container is provided with at least one label-like information carrier, at least the side wall region of the container being at least partially formed and the information carrier made of transparent material and that the container for increasing the The strength and stability of the side wall area below the edge opposite the floor has a circumferential functional ring reinforced by ribs.
Das erfindungsgemäße Farbgebindesystem ermöglicht den Verbrauchern eine nahezu ungehinderte Überprüfung des Zustandes des Behälterinhaltes einerseits, sowie auch des Farbtons des Behälterinhaltes in seiner naturgetreuen Erscheinungsweise. Dabei ist das erfindungsgemäße Farbgebindesystem wirtschaftlich produzierbar, ohne im wesentlichen herkömmliche Produktionsprozesse grundlegend ändern zu müssen. Der eimerförmige Behälter kann in an sich bekannter Weise aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Polypropylen im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt werden, wobei die Art der Kunststoffrezeptur eine mehr oder weniger starke Trübung der Durchsichtigkeit bewirkt. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die Trübung nahezu ganzflächig auf ein Minimum reduziert. Dabei kann sich eine untere Grenze durch die Weichheit des Kunststoffes ergeben. Die härtenden Additive führen zu einer Zunahme der Trübung. Der weitestgehend durchsichtige Behälter, der auch vollständig durchsichtig ausgebildet sein kann, kann gemäß einem vorteilhaften Vorschlag der Erfindung Bereiche unterschiedlicher Trübung aulweisen. So kann beispielsweise ein an der Behälteroberseite angeordneter, umlaufender Rand starker Trübung vorgesehen sein, durch welchen die Oberfläche des Farbinhaltes nicht zu erkennen ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird ein einheitlich sauberes Erscheinungsbild im Bereich der Oberflächenspiegel des Farbinhaltes erreicht.The ink container system according to the invention enables consumers to check the state of the contents of the container on the one hand, as well as the color of the contents of the container in its natural appearance, almost unimpeded. The ink container system according to the invention can be produced economically without having to fundamentally change conventional production processes. The bucket-shaped container can be produced in a manner known per se from plastic, preferably polypropylene, by the injection molding process, the type of plastic formulation causing a more or less pronounced clouding of the transparency. In an advantageous embodiment, the turbidity is reduced to a minimum over the entire surface. A lower limit can result from the softness of the plastic. The hardening additives increase the haze. According to an advantageous proposal of the invention, the largely transparent container, which can also be completely transparent, can indicate areas of different cloudiness. For example, a circumferential edge of strong turbidity arranged on the top of the container can be provided, through which the surface of the color content cannot be recognized. This measure achieves a uniformly clean appearance in the area of the surface level of the color content.
Der Informationsträger ist in vorteilhafter Weise eine Folie, die mit den erforderlichen Informationen, Namen, Werbeinformationen, Produkt- und Verarbeitungsdaten und dergleichen bedruckt ist. Auch kann ein Teil des Seitenwandbereichs selbst als Informationsträger ausgelegt und für ein Bedrucken vorbereitet sein.The information carrier is advantageously a film which is printed with the required information, names, advertising information, product and processing data and the like. Part of the side wall area itself can also be designed as an information carrier and be prepared for printing.
Der Deckel kann im Farbton der im Eimer werksseitig eingefüllten Farbe gefärbt sein.The lid can be colored in the same color as the color filled in the bucket at the factory.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein einfach und wirtschaftlich herstellbares Farbgebindesystem bereitgestellt, welches den Blick auf die im Behälter befindliche Farbe und die Erkennung des Farbtons weitestgehend ungehindert ermöglicht. Selbst im Bereich aufgedruckter Informationen wird der Blick auf den Behälterinhalt für den Verbraucher kaum gehindert.With the invention, a color container system that is simple and economical to produce is provided, which allows the view of the color in the container and the detection of the color tone largely unimpeded. Even in the area of printed information, the view of the container contents is hardly impeded for the consumer.
Mit Vorteil wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Behälter unterhalb des dem Boden gegenüberliegenden Randes einen umlaufenden Funktionsring aufweist. Dieser an der Behälteraußenseite umlaufende Funktionsring kann durch Rippen verstärkt am Behälter angeordnet sein. Dieser Funktionsring kann als zweite Aufklemmebene für den Deckel ausgebildet sein und eine Eingriffsmulde aufweisen. Auch kann eine Originalitätssicherung hier angeordnet sein. Der Funktionsring kann zur Aufnahme eines Tragebügels ausgebildet sein, die auch lösbar sein kann. Der Funktionsring stellt darüber hinaus eine Stapelhilfe dar, und schließlich kann der Funktionsring den Behälter hinsichtlich seiner Festigkeit stabilisieren.It is advantageously proposed that the container has a circumferential functional ring below the edge opposite the bottom. This circumferential functional ring on the outside of the container can be arranged on the container by ribs. This functional ring can be designed as a second clamping plane for the cover and can have an engagement trough. A tamper-evident device can also be arranged here. The functional ring can be designed to receive a carrying handle, which can also be detachable. The functional ring also represents a stacking aid, and finally the functional ring can stabilize the container in terms of its strength.
Der Deckel kann eine zusätzliche, verschließbare Öffnung aufweisen, wodurch das gesamte Farbgebinde für die oben beschriebene Tintingsysteme besonders geeignet wird. Aber auch in herkömmlicher Weise kann die zusätzliche Öffnung zum Einbringen von Farbpigmenten in die in dem Behälter befindliche Farbe genutzt werden, ohne daß der gesamte Behälter geöffnet werden muß.The lid can have an additional, closable opening, as a result of which the entire color container is particularly suitable for the inking systems described above. However, the additional opening can also be used in a conventional manner for introducing color pigments into the paint in the container without having to open the entire container.
Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Figuren. Dabei zeigen:
- Figur 1

- Figure 1
- a schematic representation of an embodiment of a paint container system and
- Figure 2
- a schematic representation of an information carrier.
In Figur 1 ist ein Gebinde 1 gezeigt, bestehend aus einem Behälter 2 aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff und einem ebenfalls aus Kunststoff gebildeten Deckel 3, welcher jedoch nicht zwingend durchsichtig sein muß. Der Deckel 3 weist eine verschließbare Öffnung 4 auf, in welche sich im gezeigten Ausfühwngsbeispiel ein stopfenartiger Verschluß befindet Der Behälter 2 hat einen im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls durchsichtig ausgebildeten Boden 5 und im oberen Randbereich einen umlaufenden Funktionsring 6. Dieser umlaufende Funktionsring 6 besteht aus einer ringförmig ausgebildeten Kunststofflippe, die durch darunterliegende Verstärkungsrippen versteift ist. Der obere Rand 8 des Funktionsringes 6 ist so ausgebildet, daß der auf den Behälterrand 9 aufgepreßte Deckel 3 mit seiner Unterkante auch auf den Funktionsrand aufgepreßt wird, also zwei verschiedene Klemmbereiche hat. Dadurch kann auf einfache Weise eine Originalitätssicherung zwischen Deckel und Funktionsring gebildet werden. Zur Vereinfachung des Abhebens des Deckels 3 weist der Funktionsring eine Ausnehmung 7 auf.In Figure 1, a container 1 is shown, consisting of a container 2 made of transparent plastic and a lid 3 also made of plastic, which, however, does not necessarily have to be transparent. The lid 3 has a closable opening 4, in which there is a stopper-like closure in the exemplary embodiment shown. The container 2 has a bottom 5, which is likewise transparent in the exemplary embodiment shown, and a circumferential functional ring 6 in the upper edge region. This circumferential functional ring 6 consists of a ring trained plastic lip, which is stiffened by underlying reinforcing ribs. The upper edge 8 of the functional ring 6 is designed such that the lid 3 pressed onto the container edge 9 is also pressed onto the functional edge with its lower edge, that is to say it has two different clamping areas. In this way, tamper-evident protection can be easily formed between the cover and the functional ring. To simplify the lifting of the cover 3, the functional ring has a recess 7.
Der gesamte Funktionsring kann ebenfalls auch durchsichtigem Kunststoff gebildet sein. Durch gestrichelte Linie 10 ist eine Kante gezeigt, durch welche zusammen mit dem oberen Behälterrand 9 ein ringförmiger Streifen im Behälter gebildet wird. Dieser kann mit einer starken Trübung des Kunststoffes oder auch undurchsichtig gefärbt sein. Dieser obere undurchsichtige Rand bewirkt ein sauberes und immer gleichmäßiges Erscheinungsbild des gefüllten Behälters 2, ohne daß ein beispielsweise durch Bewegung und damit Verschwappen der im Behälter 2 befindlichen Farbe ein unsauberer oberer Spiegel erzeugt wird.The entire functional ring can also be made of transparent plastic. Dashed line 10 shows an edge through which an annular strip is formed in the container together with the upper container edge 9. This can be colored with a strong clouding of the plastic or opaque. This upper opaque edge brings about a clean and always uniform appearance of the filled container 2, without an unclean upper mirror being produced, for example, by movement and thus blurring of the color in the container 2.
Auf den in Figur 1 gezeigten Behälter läßt sich ein wie in Figur 2 gezeigtes Etikett aufbringen, welches im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einer mit Informationen 12 bedruckten, durchsichtigen Folie 11 gebildet ist. Es ist offensichtlich, daß auch das auf dem Behälter 2 aufgebrachte Etikett aus der Folie 11 den Blick auf das Produkt nicht behindert.A label as shown in FIG. 2 can be applied to the container shown in FIG. 1, which label is formed in the exemplary embodiment shown from a transparent film 11 printed with information 12. It is obvious that the label from the film 11 applied to the container 2 does not obstruct the view of the product.
Das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel dient nur der Erläuterung und ist nicht beschränkend.The exemplary embodiment described is only for explanation and is not restrictive.
