Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing waxy chalk, in which the waxy chalk mass is poured into a mould which is also the packing receptacle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Wachskreiden und einen Verpackungsbehälter für solche Kreiden. Wachskreiden werden üblicherweise durch ein Extrusionsoder ein Gießverfahren hergestellt. Bei dem letzteren Verfahren wird eine verflüssigte Kreidenmasse in der Kreidegeometrie entsprechende Formen eingegossen. Nach dem Erkalten der Masse werden die Kreiden entformt und verpackt. In US 3,166, 792 ist ein Verfahren beschrieben, mit dem ein Endverbraucher sich selbst Wachsmalkreiden herstellen kann. Dazu ist eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen, die einen mit Wasser befüllbaren Behälter umfasst, mit dem die in eine der Stiftform entsprechende Gießform eingefüllte Kreidenmasse durch Kühlung verfestigbar ist. In DE 1 407 098 ist ein Verfahren zum einbringen von gießbaren Pasten in Stift- oder Stangenform, z.B. von Lippenstiftmassen in einen Behälter beschrieben. Die Offenlegungsschrift DE 43 05 369 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Mine, bei dem die flüchtige Bestandteile enthaltende Minenmasse in ein spritzbares Kunststoffröhrchen eingegossen wird. Das mit Minenmasse gefüllte Kunststoffröhrchen bildet die Mine eines Stiftes mit Holzummantelung.The invention relates to a method for producing Wax crayons and a packaging container for such crayons. Wax crayons are usually made by an extrusion or produced a casting process. In the latter procedure becomes a liquefied chalk mass in the chalk geometry appropriate molds cast in. After cooling the The chalk is removed from the mold and packed. In US 3,166, 792 describes a method by which an end user can make himself wax crayons. There is one Device provided that a water fillable container includes, with which the corresponding to the pen shape Mold filled with chalk can be solidified by cooling is. DE 1 407 098 describes a method for the introduction of pourable pastes in stick or stick form, e.g. of Lipstick masses described in a container. The disclosure DE 43 05 369 A1 discloses a method for the production a mine where the volatile components Lead mass in a sprayable plastic tube is poured. The plastic tube filled with lead mass forms the lead of a pencil with a wooden covering.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es ein vereinfachtes Verfahren zur Herstellung von Wachskreiden und einen Verpackungsbehälter für solche Kreiden vorzuschlagen. The object of the invention is a simplified method for Production of wax crayons and a packaging container to propose for such chalks.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach Anspruch 1 dadurch gelöst, dass die verflüssigte Wachskreidenmasse in eine Form gegossen wird, die ein Verpackungsbehälter mit mehreren der Kreidengeometrie entsprechenden Formhohlräumen ist, wobei die Formhohlräume mit einem abnehmbaren Deckel verschlossen werden. Bei diesem Verfahren entfällt der Entformungs- und im wesentlichen auch der Verpackungsschritt. Ein Entformen und ein Einlegen der Kreiden in Verpackungsbehälter ist also nicht mehr notwendig. Die Form kann beispielsweise so ausgebildet sein, dass mehrere parallel nebeneinander angeordnete, der Kreidengeometrie entsprechende und allseits geschlossene Formhohlräume mit der verflüssigten Kreidenmasse befüllt werden. Die gleichzeitig als Verpackungsbehälter dienende Form kann so ausgebildet sein, dass durch entsprechende Perforierungen oder Schwächungsstellen der Behälter geöffnet werden kann und die Kreiden entnommen werden können.This object is achieved according to claim 1 in that the liquefied wax crayon is poured into a mold, which is a packaging container with several of the chalk geometry corresponding mold cavities, the mold cavities can be closed with a removable lid. With this The process of demolding and essentially also omitted the packaging step. De-molding and inserting the Chalking in packaging containers is no longer necessary. The shape can, for example, be designed such that several the chalk geometry arranged in parallel next to each other corresponding and closed mold cavities with the liquefied chalk mass can be filled. The same time serving as a packaging container can be designed in this way be that through appropriate perforations or weakening points the container can be opened and the chalks can be removed.

Um das Entnehmen zu erleichtern, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Wände der Formhohlräume mit einem Trennmittel benetzt sind. Da üblicherweise Malkreiden in mehreren Farbtönen angeboten werden, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die einzelnen Formhohlräume des Verpackungsbehälters mit unterschiedlich gefärbten Kreidenmassen befüllt werden. To make removal easier, it is advantageous if the Walls of the mold cavities are wetted with a release agent. Since painting crayons are usually offered in several colors be, it is useful if the individual mold cavities of the packaging container with differently colored chalk masses be filled.

Der Verpackungsbehälter kann in vorteilhafter Weise auch Formhohlräume aufweisen, die nach Art einer einerseits offenen Rinne ausgebildet sind. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist der Gießvorgang wesentlich erleichtert. Die Rinne kann nach dem Erkalten der Kreidenmasse durch einen Deckel, zweckmäßigerweise einen mehrere Formhohlräume überdeckenden abnehmbaren Deckel verschlossen werden.The packaging container can advantageously also have mold cavities, which are designed in the manner of a channel which is open on the one hand. Through this configuration the casting process is much easier. The gutter can after cooling Chalk mass through a lid, conveniently one of several mold cavities covering removable cover can be closed.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert:The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to drawings:

Fig.1 zeigt eine schachtelartige Verpackung 1, in der durch Trennwände 2 mehrere Formhohlräume 3 voneinander abgetrennt sind. Die Formhohlräume 3 sind entsprechend der gewünschten Kreidengeometrie gestaltet. Sie weisen eine für Wachskreiden übliche Länge von 8 bis 14 cm auf. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Querschnittsform etwa quadratisch. Es sind aber auch Verpackungsbehälter bzw. Formhohlräume für Kreiden mit dreieckigem, rechteckigem usw. Querschnitt denkbar.1 shows a box-like package 1, in which several are separated by partitions 2 Mold cavities 3 are separated from each other. The mold cavities 3 are corresponding the desired chalk geometry. They assign one for wax crayons Usual length from 8 to 14 cm. In the illustrated embodiment, the cross-sectional shape is about square. But there are also packaging containers or mold cavities conceivable for chalks with triangular, rectangular, etc. cross-section.

Der Gießvorgang erfolgt ganz einfach dadurch, daß über eine Gießeinrichtung 4 eine verflüssigte Kreidenmasse in einen Formhohlraum 3 eingegossen wird. In Fig.2 ist angedeutet, daß für jeden Formhohlraum 3 eine eigene Gießvorrichtung 4, 4a, 4b usw. vorgesehen ist, um den Verpackungsbehälter mit Kreidenmassen unterschiedlicher Farben zu füllen. Nach dem Erkalten der Kreidenmasse wird der Verpackungsbehälter mit einem Deckel (nicht dargestellt), verschlossen. Das Material für den Verpackungsbehälter ist vorzugsweise Kunststoff. Es wird dabei ein solcher Kunststoff gewählt, an dem die Kreidenmassen nicht haften. Eine andere Möglichkeit, ein Festhaften und damit eine Erschwerung der Entnahme der Kreiden aus dem Verpackungsbehälter zu verhindern, besteht darin, die Wände der Formhohlräume mit einem Trennmittel zu benetzen.The casting process is carried out very simply in that a casting device 4 liquefied chalk mass is poured into a mold cavity 3. In Fig. 2 it is indicated that for each mold cavity 3, a separate casting device 4, 4a, 4b, etc. is provided to differentiate the packaging container with chalk masses Fill colors. After the chalk mass has cooled, the packaging container closed with a lid (not shown). The material for the packaging container is preferably plastic. Such a plastic is chosen to whom the chalk masses are not liable. Another way to get stuck and thus complicating the removal of the chalk from the packaging container prevent, is to wet the walls of the mold cavities with a release agent.

Der in Fig.3 gezeigte Verpackungsbehälter ist im wesentlichen quaderförmig. Die Formhohlräume sind hier als Formröhren 6 ausgebildet, die einerseits blind enden und andererseits in einer Stirnseite 9 des Behälters mit Öffnungen 7 münden. Mit der oben beschriebenen Gießvorrichtung werden die Formröhren 6 über die Öffnungen 7 gefüllt. Die Stirnseite 9 ist mit einem abnehmbaren Deckel 8, der sämtliche Öffnungen 7 überdeckt, abschließbar. Neben Kunststoff kommt auch Metall als Material für den Verpakkungsbehälter in Frage.The packaging container shown in Figure 3 is essentially cuboid. The Mold cavities are formed here as molded tubes 6, which on the one hand end blindly and on the other hand, open into an end face 9 of the container with openings 7. With the above Pouring device described, the mold tubes 6 are filled through the openings 7. The end face 9 is provided with a removable cover 8, which covers all openings 7, lockable. In addition to plastic, metal is also used as the material for the packaging container in question.
