Definitions

  • the invention relates to a box for receiving so-called moisture or Oil towels, consisting of a container which is closed with an outer lid, which in turn has an opening which is closed by a further inner cover becomes.
  • Container with a removable lid that holds wet wipes serve are known in the prior art.
  • the European patent application EP 0 331 027 discloses a reclosable dispenser container which consists of a container and a key part.
  • the container must be closed with a tab.
  • the key part lies inside the container on the wet wipes and has a recess for removing the wipes.
  • the closure of the container with the help of a tab is unsatisfactory.
  • this type of closure is not so tight that the ingress of dirt or dust into the container can be ruled out, on the other hand, the tab is already visually unattractive, especially if the adhesive strength of the tab on the container decreases.
  • a fixed outer cover, in which an inner cover is integrated, is not mentioned.
  • WO 93/17933 also discloses a container which is used to hold damp cloths, which in turn are in an airtight bag.
  • the Pouch is kept in the container.
  • the bag has a tab reversibly closed.
  • No. 5,699,912 also describes a container for wet wipes.
  • the container consists of a lower part that is open at the top and an upper part that is placed on the lower part. There is an opening in the upper part which serves to remove the wet wipes and which can be reversibly closed by means of a cover.
  • the lid is hinged to the upper part in such a way that the lid can be opened, an elastic molded body being present between the lid and the upper part, so that the lid is pressed open after release.
  • the US 4,739,900 shows a container, which is also closed by a lid in which an additional flap is integrated.
  • a spring element is not intended.
  • a disadvantage of the elastic shaped bodies is that the shaped bodies often do not store sufficient energy after being deformed in order to be able to press the inner lid securely on. Furthermore, the clamping force of the moldings diminishes over time, so that the entire box - an exchange of the spring elements is usually not provided is no longer used.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a box for packed in bags
  • the box according to the invention which is used in particular for wet wipes packed in bags, consists of an open-topped container and an outer lid which is placed on the container.
  • the container and the outer lid are shaped in the overlapping areas in such a way that the outer lid snaps over the edge area of the container. In this way, the container is closed securely against contamination by the outer lid. Nevertheless, the outer lid can be removed from the container at any time with little effort. This is necessary, for example, if a bag with wet wipes is to be refilled in the box.
  • the outer cover is also provided with an opening.
  • a recess can also be formed in the outer cover contains an arbitrarily shaped recess for removing the wet wipes.
  • the recess itself can in turn be partially closed in such a way that when the uppermost of the usually layered, wet wipes is removed, the subsequent ones are prevented from emerging from the box by being caught on the recess by friction.
  • the box has an inner cover which is articulated on the outer cover, preferably by means of a conventional film hinge. This inner cover reversibly closes the opening provided in the outer cover.
  • the inner cover can also be shaped so that it fits into the outer cover existing recess is fitted and thus the existing there Closure closes.
  • the inner cover has in particular on the side opposite that on which the outer cover is articulated, a shape that corresponds to a shaped recess in the outer cover engages.
  • the positive connection between the inner cover and the outer cover is released by pressing on the outer cover at the recess, the inner cover being pressed open by a metallic spring element provided in the outer cover.
  • the metallic spring element is in particular a coil spring made of spring steel. Pressing on the point in question thus enables elegant access to the contents of the box.
  • a flap is articulated on the outer cover, which flap extends from the outer edge of the outer cover to the opening in the outer cover and which lies above the recess in the outer cover.
  • This flap emphasizes the pressure point purely visually.
  • the flap is suitable for creating an undercut of the inner cover behind the flap, so that the flap is displaced in its position for opening the inner cover to such an extent that the inner cover is released and can open.
  • Figure 1 shows a particularly advantageous version of the box 1, which is characterized by its great user friendliness.
  • the box 1 is composed of the container 2, the outer lid 3 and the inner lid 4.
  • the inner lid 4 is articulated on the outer lid 3. All parts are preferably made of a thermoplastic.
  • the outer lid 3 is firmly seated on the container 2, but can be removed from it at any time, for example to refill a new bag with wet wipes.
  • a metallic spring element 5 is let into the outer cover 3 in the rear area.
  • a recess 31 is formed in the outer cover 3 and has a central opening 32 through which the wet wipes can be removed from the box.
  • the shape of the recess 31 corresponds to the outer contour of the inner cover 4, so that when the inner cover 4 is closed, only a small gap remains between the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 3. Furthermore, the outer cover 3 has a flap 6. If a vertically acting force is exerted on the flap 6, the inner cover 4 springs open up to the complete opening due to the force resulting from the metallic spring element 5.
  • the inner cover 4 is hinged to the outer cover 3 via a hinge 41.
  • the hinge 41 is designed as a conventional pin / eyelet construction.
  • the inner cover 4 has a sealing lip 42, which brings about a dust-impermeable seal between the inner cover 4 and the outer cover 3 when the inner cover 4 is closed.
  • the shape of the sealing lip 42 largely corresponds to the shape of the recess 31 in the outer cover 3.
  • the inner cover 4 undercuts the flap 6 with the area 43 in order to ensure a positive connection.
  • the outer cover shown in Figure 2 is shown in an advantageous embodiment.
  • the flap 6 is provided which, for the user of the box 1, particularly clearly emphasizes the location to which it must be pressed to open it.
  • the flap 6 is hinged to the outer cover 4 via a film hinge 61.
  • the flap 6 can be reversibly fixed in the outer cover 3, for which purpose the lugs 62 which engage in correspondingly shaped recesses in the outer cover 3 are used. If the flap 6 is to be transferred from the open state shown here to the closed state, pressure is exerted on the flap 6 until the lugs 62 snap into the recesses.
  • the inner cover 4 undercuts in the area 63 of the flap 6. Pressure on the flap 6 deforms it until the inner cover 4 is released and opens.
  • the essentially elliptical design is located centrally in the outer cover 3 Well 31, in which the opening 32 is present, through which the wet wipes from the Box 1 can be removed.
  • the opening 32 itself is again in cross section narrowed by the formation 33, which is preferably made slightly flexible in plastic is.
  • recesses 34 in which the pivot pins of the inner cover 4 engage, so as to form the hinge 41. Furthermore, there is free space in the outer cover 3 35 recessed, which allows the movement of the inner cover 4.
  • the recess 36 in turn serves to receive the end of the spring element 5.
  • the inner cover 4 is shown in plan view and the metallic spring element 5, which can press the inner cover 4.
  • the inner cover 4 there is the elliptical sealing lip 42, the contour of which is adapted to the recess 31 in the outer cover 3.
  • the spring element 5 is first in a so-called Sleeve "or Capsule "51 installed Sleeve “or Capsule “51 encloses and protects the spring element 5, in this case a coil spring made of spring steel, so that only one end of the spring element 5 looks out and can press on the inner cover 4 if necessary.
  • the installation of the spring element 5 in the Sleeve “or Capsule “51 takes place such that the spring element 5 is under tension when the inner cover 4 is closed. When the inner cover 4 is open, the spring element 5 is relaxed.
  • the Sleeve “or Capsule “51 is then installed in the inner cover 4, the inner cover 4 thus completed is mounted in the outer cover 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows how the container 2 and the outer lid 3 are shaped in the edge region, on the one hand to ensure a dust-tight seal between the outer lid 3 and the container 2 and on the other hand to allow the outer lid 3 to be removed easily.
  • the container 2 has an edge region 21 which is formed in that the walls of the container 2 are bent through 180 °.
  • the outer lid 3 has a circumferential outer edge 37 which extends over the container 2.
  • An inner edge 38 is formed behind the outer edge 37 and also extends over the entire outer cover 3.
  • the inner edge 38 is spaced apart from the outer edge 37 such that the edge region 21 of the container 2 is firmly but releasably arranged between the two in the press fit.
  • the height at which the container 2 is seated in the outer cover 3 is regulated by the edge 39, which is also circumferential.
  • FIG. 5 shows several exemplary variants of the formations 33 in FIG Opening 32 shown.
  • the design of the formation 33 is hardly subject Restrictions, as long as it is guaranteed that when the top of the usually wipes placed in layers, the subsequent ones at the outlet are prevented by hanging on said formation 33 by friction stay.
  • the spring element 5 is preferably a helical spring made of spring steel.
  • the ends of the helical spring protrude from the spring and have an eyelet-like closure.
  • the angle between the eyelets influences the energy that can be stored when the spring is twisted, as happens, for example, when box 1 is closed.
  • the spring can also have an arc in the middle that protrudes from the spring.
  • the boxes according to the invention are produced by injection molding. In this way each box can be manufactured quickly and inexpensively in large numbers.
  • Starting materials for the box are preferably polypropylene or polyethylene selected, but also made of polystyrene can be made of such containers.
