Abstract

Packaging for at least two tablet shaped objects, especially detergent or cleansing agent tablets, in the form of a closed foil bag. The aim of the invention is to improve said packaging in as simple a manner possible in order to prevent several tablets in the same packaging from being damaged while at the same time allowing for all tablets contained in said packaging to be removed in a single opening process. This is achieved by dividing the interior of the foil bag (1) into a number of areas (5, 6) corresponding to the amount of tablets (4) that are to be accommodated. Each area is separated from by a seam (7, 7', 7'') which prevents the adjacent tablets (4) from coming into contact with each other. The seam (7, 7', 7'') extends between the accommodating areas (5, 6) at certain points only, whereby a seamless zone (8, 8', 8'') is created. A tear-off line (9, 9', 9'') is also provided, touching all of the accommodating areas (5, 6) along the seamless zones (8, 8', 8'') when torn.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für wenigstens zwei tablettenförmige Gegenstände, insbesondere Wasch- und/oder Reinigungsmitteltabletten, aus einem geschlossenen Folienbeutel mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a packaging for at least two tablet-shaped Objects, in particular washing and / or cleaning agent tablets a closed film bag with the features of the preamble of Claim 1.

Wasch- und/oder Geschirrspülreinigungsmittel in Tablettenform werden üblicherweise in Folienbeuteln verpackt, und zwar vorzugsweise einzeln, und werden dann in ein Transportbehältnis eingegeben. Bei bestimmten Waschund/oder Geschirrspülmitteln kommt es aber vor, daß zur bedarfsgerechten Dosierung nicht nur eine Tablette benötigt wird, sondern mehrere, so daß es für den Anwender erforderlich ist, jeweils die entsprechende Anzahl von Beuteln zu öffnen und die Tablette zu entnehmen. Dies führt einerseits zu einem verstärkten Folienbedarf und Folienabfall, andererseits ist von wesentlichem weiteren Nachteil, daß es leicht zu Fehldosierungen kommen kann, wenn der Anwender nicht die jeweils benötigte Anzahl von Tabletten verwendet.Detergent and / or dishwashing detergent in tablet form are common packed in foil bags, preferably individually, and are then placed in a shipping container. With certain washing and / or Dishwashing detergents, however, sometimes need to be used Dosage is required not just one tablet, but several, making it the corresponding number of is required for the user Open bags and remove the tablet. On the one hand, this leads to a increased film requirements and film waste, on the other hand, is essential Another disadvantage that incorrect dosing can easily occur if the user does not use the required number of tablets.

Grundsätzlich sind auch gattungsgemäße Verpackungen für zwei oder mehrere derartiger Tabletten in einem Folienbeutel, z.B. einem sogenannten "Flow pack", bekannt. So ist eine gattungsgemäße Verpackung beispielsweise in DE-GM 295 09 593 beschrieben. Bei einer solchen Verpackung tritt jedoch das Problem auf, daß benachbarte Tabletten durch den relativ engen Folieneinschlag aneinanderreiben, wodurch Bruch, Kantenbruch und Abrieb entstehen kann.Basically, generic packaging for two or more such tablets in a foil pouch, e.g. a so-called "flow pack", known. A generic packaging is for example in DE-GM 295 09 593. With such packaging, however, the problem arises that neighboring tablets rub against each other due to the relatively narrow film wrap, which can cause breakage, edge breakage and abrasion.

Grundsätzlich ist es bei Beuteln allgemein bekannt, das Beutelinnere in verschiedene, voneinander getrennte Aufnahmebereiche aufzuteilen, indem Trennähte vorgesehen werden. So ist aus CH-PS 511 157 ein Beutel für Nahrungs- oder Genußmittel in schüttfähiger Form bekannt, der zwei voneinander getrennte Aufnahmebereiche aufweist. Zum Öffnen dieser Verpackung ist es erforderlich, zunächst entlang einer ersten Kerbe oder dergl. den einen Aufnahmebereich des Beutels aufzureißen, während der andere Aufnahmebereich dann verschlossen bleibt. Zum Öffnen des anderen Aufnahmebereiches ist es erforderlich, diesen entlang einer weiteren Kerbe aufzureißen. Eine Dosierhilfe ist bei einem solchen Verpackungsbeutel somit nicht gegeben. Weitere Lösungen für Aufnahmebeutel mit teilweise voneinander getrennten Bereichen sind aus US-PS-4,674,128, US-PS-4,362,241 und DE-PS 39 00 702 bekannt.It is generally known in the case of bags to divide the inside of the bag into different to divide separate recording areas by Separation seams are provided. CH-PS 511 157 is a bag for food or stimulants known in pourable form, the two of each other has separate recording areas. It is to open this packaging required, first along a first notch or the like of the bag, while the other receiving area then remains closed. To open the other recording area, it is necessary to tear it open along another notch. A dosing aid is included such a packaging bag is not given. More solutions for Receiving bags with partially separated areas are known from US Pat. No. 4,674,128, US-PS-4,362,241 and DE-PS 39 00 702 known.

Eine gattungsgemäße Verpackung ist aus der JP-A-9240683 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Verpackung werden unterteilte Aufnahmebereiche dadurch erhalten, daß entweder beabstandet zu den Längsrändern punktförmige Schweiß- oder Klebebereiche oder an den Randbereichen dreieckförmige Verschweißungen mit einer Einreißkerbe in der Basis ausgebildet sind. Bei beiden Ausführungsformen liegen sich jeweils zwei Schweißbereiche spiegelsymmetrisch gegenüber.A generic packaging is known from JP-A-9240683. At this known packaging, subdivided receiving areas are obtained by that either spaced apart from the longitudinal edges spot welding or Adhesive areas or triangular welds at the edge areas a tear notch are formed in the base. In both embodiments there are two welding areas opposite each other with mirror symmetry.

Nachteilig bei dieser Verpackung ist es, daß dort entweder nur kleine Kontaktpunkte oder zwei relativ kurze, gegenüberliegende Nahtbereiche für die Unterteilung der unterschiedlichen Aufnahmebereiche vorgesehen sind. Für die dauerhafte und sichere Trennung der beiden Aufnahmebereiche bedingt dies eine exakte, produktionssichere Ausbildung dieser Trennbereiche. Ist nämlich eine Trennaht oder ein Kontaktpunkt nicht exakt und fest ausgebildet, so daß sich beispielsweise während des Transportes dieser Kontakt lösen kann, ist die gewünschte Trennung der beiden Aufnahmebereiche nicht sichergestellt und können die Tabletten gegebenenfalls aneinanderstoßen und den zu vermeidenden Bruch verursachen.The disadvantage of this packaging is that either there are only small contact points or two relatively short, opposing seam areas for the subdivision of the different recording areas are provided. For the permanent and safe separation of the two recording areas requires this exact, production-safe training of these separation areas. Because it is one Separation seam or a contact point is not formed precisely and firmly, so that for example, this contact can be released during transport is the desired one Separation of the two recording areas is not ensured and cannot if necessary, hit the tablets together and avoid the tablets Cause breakage.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Verpackung mit möglichst geringem Aufwand so zu verbessern, daß eine Beschädigung mehrerer Tabletten in einer Verpackung vermieden, gleichzeitig aber beim Öffnen der Verpackung mit einem einzigen Öffnungsvorgang sämtliche darin befindlichen Tabletten entnommen werden können.The object of the invention is to provide a generic packaging with as much as possible little effort to improve so that damage to multiple tablets avoided in packaging, but at the same time when opening the packaging all in one opening process Tablets can be removed.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Verpackung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß eine alle Aufnahmebereiche beim Aufreißen erfassende, parallel zur Längsnaht angeordnete Aufreißlinie entlang der trennahtfreien Bereiche vorgesehen ist,
wobei entweder im Bereich zwischen zwei Aufnahmebereichen jeweils vier Trennähte vorgesehen sind, welche paarweise spiegelsymmetrisch zur Längsachse des Folienbeutels angeordnet sind und jeweils paarweise die Endbereiche einer nicht geschlossenen V-Form bilden,
oder zwischen zwei Aufnahmebereichen randseitig nur eine Trennaht angeordnet ist und am gegenüberliegenden Randbereich der trennahtfreie Bereich vorliegt sowie die Längsnaht mit Aufreißlinie sich außermittig zur Verpackungslängsachse durch den trennahtfreien Bereich erstreckt.
This object is achieved according to the invention with a packaging of the type mentioned at the outset in that a tear line, which detects all of the receiving areas during tearing and is arranged parallel to the longitudinal seam, is provided along the areas without the separating seam,
wherein four separating seams are provided either in the area between two receiving areas, which are arranged in pairs mirror-symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the film bag and each form the end areas of an open V-shape,
or only one separating seam is arranged on the edge between two receiving areas and there is the separating seam-free area on the opposite edge area and the longitudinal seam with the tear line extends eccentrically to the longitudinal axis of the packaging through the separating seam-free area.

Es steht somit eine einzige Verpackung für mehrere Tabletten zur Verfügung, in welcher sich die einzelnen Tabletten jedoch nicht berühren können, so daß Bruch, Kantenbruch und Abrieb zuverlässig vermieden werden kann. Gleichzeitig ist zuverlässig gewährleistet, daß beim einmaligen Aufreißen des Folienbeutels sämtliche Aufnahmebereiche und somit sämtliche Tabletten freigelegt werden und gleichzeitig entnommen werden können bzw. herausfallen, so daß die erforderliche Dosiermenge, d.h. alle in der Verpackung befindlichen Tabletten, direkt zur Verfügung steht. Fehldosierungen werden damit zuverlässig vermieden.There is therefore a single packaging available for several tablets, in which the individual tablets cannot touch, so that Breakage, edge breakage and abrasion can be reliably avoided. simultaneously is reliably guaranteed that when the film bag is torn open once all recording areas and thus all tablets are exposed and can be removed or fall out at the same time, so that the required dosage, i.e. all tablets in the packaging, is available directly. Incorrect dosing becomes reliable avoided.

Dadurch, daß die Aufreißlinie parallel zur Längsnaht angeordnet ist, erfolgt das Aufreißen zum Öffnen der Verpackung besonders handhabungsfreundlich entlang der gesamten Verpackung, so daß besonders sicher gewährleistet ist, daß alle Aufnahmebereiche auf einfachste Weise geöffnet werden. Die Aufreißlinie kann dabei mittels Perforation, als Aufreißstreifen oder dergl. ausgebildet sein.This is done by arranging the tear line parallel to the longitudinal seam Tear open to open the packaging particularly easy to use of the entire packaging, so that it is ensured with particular certainty that all recording areas can be opened in the simplest way. The tear line can be formed by means of perforation, as a tear strip or the like.

In Ausgestaltung ist bei einer Verpackung mit zwischen zwei Aufnahmebereichen randseitig angeordneter Trennaht und am gegenüberliegenden Randbereich vorliegendem trennahtfreiem Bereich sowie mit sich außermittig zur Verpackungslängsachse durch den trennahtfreien Bereich erstreckender Längsnaht mit Aufreißlinie ist vorteilhaft und zweckmäßig vorgesehen, daß die Trennaht parallel zu den Qüernähten (Flossen) angeordnet ist.In one embodiment, the packaging has between two receiving areas Separating seam arranged on the edge and the one present on the opposite edge area area without seams and with itself off-center to the longitudinal axis of the packaging longitudinal seam with tear line extending through the area without the seam is advantageously and appropriately provided that the dividing seam parallel to the transverse seams (fins) is arranged.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in:

Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf eine zweite Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung.
The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in:
Fig. 1
a plan view of a first embodiment of a packaging according to the invention and in
Fig. 2
a plan view of a second embodiment of a packaging according to the invention.

In den Figuren ist jeweils eine Verpackung für zwei tablettenförmige Gegenstände, insbesondere Wasch- und Geschirrspülreinigungsmitteltabletten, dargestellt. Diese Verpackung besteht jeweils aus einem sogenannten Doppel-"Flow pack"-Folienbeutel 1, der aus einem Folienschlauch gebildet ist, der beidendseitig mit Quernähten 2, sogenannten Flossen, und in Längsrichtung mit einer Längsnaht 3 verschlossen ist. Der Innenraum des Folienbeutels 1 ist, da er zur Aufnahme von zwei Tabletten 4 bestimmt ist, erfindungsgemäß in zwei Aufnahmebereiche 5, 6 unterteilt, wobei die Trennung der beiden Aufnahmebereiehe 5, 6 bei den Ausgestaltungen nach Figuren 1 bis 2 unterschiedlich ist. In the figures there is a packaging for two tablet-shaped objects, especially detergent and dishwashing detergent tablets, shown. This packaging consists of a so-called double "flow pack "film bag 1, which is formed from a film tube that on both ends with transverse seams 2, so-called fins, and in the longitudinal direction a longitudinal seam 3 is closed. The interior of the foil bag 1 is there is intended for receiving two tablets 4, according to the invention in two receiving areas 5, 6 divided, the separation of the two recording areas 5, 6 is different in the configurations according to FIGS. 1 to 2.

Bei den Ausführungsformen nach Figur 1 und 2 sind bereichsweise Trennähte 7' und 7" vorgesehen. Außerdem sind trennahtfreie Bereiche 8' und 8" ausgebildet, welche jeweils von der Längsnaht 3 durchdrungen werden.In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2, parting seams 7 'are in some areas and 7 "are provided. In addition, regions 8 'and 8" without seams are formed, which are each penetrated by the longitudinal seam 3.

Durch die Trennung in zwei Aufnahmebereiche 5, 6 ist gewährleistet, daß die beiden benachbarten Tabletten 4 nicht in Kontakt miteinander stehen, so daß sie sich nicht berühren können und mechanische Beanspruchungen zuverlässig vermieden werden.The separation into two receiving areas 5, 6 ensures that the two adjacent tablets 4 are not in contact with each other, so that they cannot touch and reliably avoid mechanical stress become.

Da andererseits die Trennähte 7' und 7" nur bereichsweise ausgebildet sind, läßt sich zuverlässig gewährleisten, daß beim Aufreißen der gesamte Folienbeutel 1 geöffnet wird und beide Aufnahmebereiche 5, 6 zugänglich werden, so daß die Tabletten 4 entnommen werden können. Dazu ist parallel zur Längsnaht 3 eine Aufreißlinie 9' bzw. 9" vorgesehen, die beispielsweise als Perforation, als Aufreißstreifen oder dergl. ausgebildet sein kann und sich ersichtlich entlang des von den Trennähten 7' bzw. 7" freien Bereiches 8' bzw. 8" erstreckt. Dadurch, daß beim Öffnen somit beide Tabletten 4 aus der Verpackung freigegeben werden, erfolgt zwangsläufig eine richtige Dosierung, wenn bei dem betreffenden Produkt zur Dosierung zwei Tabletten benötigt werden.On the other hand, since the separating seams 7 'and 7 "are only partially formed, can reliably ensure that the entire film bag 1 is opened and both receiving areas 5, 6 are accessible so that the Tablets 4 can be removed. For this there is a parallel to the longitudinal seam 3 Tear line 9 'or 9 "provided, for example as a perforation, as Tear strips or the like. Can be formed and can be seen along the extends from the dividing seams 7 'and 7 "free area 8' and 8". Thereby, that when opening both tablets 4 released from the packaging correct dosage is inevitable, if at the concerned Product for dosing two tablets are needed.

In Figur 1 ist eine Ausführungsform dargestellt, die nur eine Trennaht 7' aufweist, die randseitig angeordnet ist, so daß am anderen Randbereich der trennahtfreie Bereich 8' vorliegt. Dementsprechend ist die Längsnaht 3 nicht mittig, sondern außermittig angeordnet mit entsprechend zugeordneter Aufreißlinie 9'. Diese erstreckt sich somit ebenfalls im trennahtfreien Bereich 8', so daß ein vollständiges Öffnen der Verpackung durch Aufreißen entlang der Aufreißlinie 9' bei Freigabe beider Tabletten 4 aus den beiden Aufnahmebereichen 5, 6 gewährleistet ist. 1 shows an embodiment which has only one separating seam 7 ', which is arranged on the edge side, so that the seam free at the other edge region Area 8 'is present. Accordingly, the longitudinal seam 3 is not in the middle, but arranged off-center with a correspondingly assigned tear line 9 '. This thus also extends in the seam-free area 8 ', so that a complete Opening the packaging by tearing along the tear line 9 'when released guaranteed both tablets 4 from the two receiving areas 5, 6 is.

In Figur 2 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform dargestellt, wobei dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Figur 1 verwandt sind, sofern gleiche Teile betroffen sind. Im Unterschied zur Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 sind die hier mit 7" bezeichneten Trennähte nicht parallel zu den Quemähten 2 angeordnet, sondern im Bereich zwischen den beiden Aufnahmebereichen 5, 6 sind jeweils vier Trennähte 7" vorgesehen, welche paarweise spiegelsymmetrisch zur Längsnaht 3 des Folienbeutels 1 angeordnet sind und jeweils paarweise die Endbereiche einer nicht geschlossenen V-Form bilden. Auch bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist eine zuverlässige räumliche Trennung der beiden Tabletten 4 gewährleistet. Andererseits ist der trennahtfreie Bereich 8" ausreichend groß, um zu gewährleisten, daß beim Aufreißen des Folienbeutels 1 entlang der Aufreißlinie 9" beide Tabletten 4 freigegeben werden.In Figure 2, an alternative embodiment is shown, with the same reference numerals as in Figure 1, provided the same parts are affected. in the Differing from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 are those designated 7 "here Separating seams are not arranged parallel to the transverse seams 2, but in the area Between the two receiving areas 5, 6 there are four separating seams 7 " provided which is mirror-symmetrically in pairs to the longitudinal seam 3 of the film bag 1 are arranged and the end regions of each are not in pairs form a closed V-shape. This configuration is also reliable spatial separation of the two tablets 4 guaranteed. On the other hand the seam-free area 8 "is large enough to ensure that the Tear open the film bag 1 along the tear line 9 "both tablets 4 released become.

Die Trennähte 7' und 7" können als Schweißverbindung oder Klebeverbindung ausgebildet sein.The separating seams 7 'and 7 "can be used as welded connections or adhesive connections be trained.
