Abstract
Description
- The invention refers to a liquid flexible container.
- The liquid flexible containers are normally used for containing drinks, seasonings, medicinal, products for the personal hygiene, perfumes and cosmetics.
- The bag of such containers is generally disposable and can be realized in a single piece or superimposing two sheets.
- In the first case a single sheet is used, that is refolded and welded along the edges, except a part of suitable length to allow the filling of the bag with the desired liquid.
- In the second case two separate sheets are joined and welded together, always leaving opened a portion of the edge for filling the bag
- In both cases, after the filling, these containers are normally sealed in correspondence of the opened portion of the bag and can be subsequently opened, for the product fruition, simply tearing partially or totally the bag in proximity of an edge.
- The containers above-described have some drawbacks.
- Particularly when the contained liquid is constituted by a drink, the drink fruition causes problems, because the consumer usually brings the bag container directly to his mouth. In these conditions, due to the difficult regulation of the product pouring, a partial product loss occurs, or even a shedding onto the consumer wears. The containers cannot be closed again and, therefore, their content must be completely used or poured in other suitable container, but these conditions doesn't normally occur, because these containers are used in difficult conditions, such as exhibitions or sporting shows, for instance.
- Liquid flexible containers are known, having a tubular element inserted partially in the bag in correspondence of a bag sealing for liquid pouring. Such tubular element is closed by a stopper. The stopper can be screwed to the tubular element and has a control seal in order to guarantee the first opening of the container.
- This solution, besides allowing to close again the container, allows to drink the content easily and to reduce the risk to pour the liquid while opening the bag.
- Therefore this type of bag container has drawbacks. The presence of the tubular element with the relative stopper makes, in fact, the container more rigid and increases its volume, with consequent limitation of the number of pieces that can be stored in a box or similar for the transport.
- In another embodiment, the stopper is joined upside-down to the tubular element of the container. In this case, the container is opened breaking the stopper and closed again, once consumed part of the content, by means of the cup shape of the stopper. Inside the cup cavity of the stopper a pin, insertable in the tubular body to improve the closing, can be provided.
- This solution doesn't guarantee the hygiene of the content, because the inside of the cup cavity of the stopper remains in contact with the outside until the first container opening.
- The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks above mentioned, providing a liquid flexible container which allows an easy opening and an easy consumption of the content and guarantees, on the other side, a hygienic closure of the same container.
- These objects and others as well, that will better appear during the following description, are achieved, in accordance with the present invention, by a liquid flexible container, which is provided with a bag containing the liquid, having at least one welded area, a tubular element for the liquid pouring, inserted in the welded area and having a first end inside the bag, a closing element of the tubular element. The container has the welded area with a protrusion till to include the second end of the tubular element and defines the closing element, and a cut area is provided between the welded area and the protrusion for separating the bag protrusion.
- Advantageously, at least one notch with a direction transversal to the tubular element in the cut area is provided, in order to facilitate the tear and the separation of the protrusion from the welded area.
- Furthermore advantageously, the notch includes at least two portions disposed at the opposed sides with reference to the tubular element.
- Furthermore the welded area has at least one cut substantially parallel and below the notch and having an initial end in correspondence of the first side edge of the welded area and a final end substantially spaced out from the tubular element; the portion of the welded area between the cut and the notch provides a flexible strip which keeps joined the bag to the closing element of the tubular element, after the opening of the container
- The invention is described in following with reference to the drawings, showing an embodiment purely exemplifying and not restrictive.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a container at a closing position in accordance with the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a detail of the container of Figure 1 at an opening position;
- Figure 3 shows a schematic perspective view of a second embodiment of the container at the closing position;
- Figure 4 shows a partial front view of a third embodiment of the container at the closing position;
- Figure 5 shows the container of figure 4 at the opening position;
- Figure 6 shows a partial front view of a fourth embodiment of the container at the closing position;
- Figure 7 shows the container of figure 6 at the opening position;
- Figure 8 shows a fifth embodiment of the container shown in figure 6;
- Figure 9 shows the detail of the second end of the tubular element in a sixth embodiment of the container.
- With reference to the figures 1 and 2, a liquid
flexible container 1, in accordance with the present invention, includes abag 2 for containing the liquid, having at least onewelded area 3. Atubular element 4 of liquid delivery is inserted in thewelded area 3 and has afirst end 4a coming into thebag 2. - In accordance with the present invention, the
welded area 3 has aprotrusion 3a, extending till to include thesecond end 4b of thetubular element 4 and defining aclosing element 5. - A
cut area 6 is placed between thewelded area 3 and theprotrusion 3a, in order to separate theprotrusion 3a from thebag 2.
In accordance with the example of the realization shown in figures 1 and 2, advantageously, in thecut area 6 there is annotch 7 transversally displaced towards thetubular element 4, in order to facilitate the tear and the separation of theprotrusion 3a of thewelded area 3. -
Such notch 7 extends from afirst side edge 3b to asecond side edge 3c of thewelded area 3 and includes twonotched lines tubular element 4. - Said
lines notch 7 extend to thetubular element 4, without interfering with thewelded area 3 and itsprotrusion 3a in correspondence of thetubular element 4 and without putting in connection the outside with the inside of thecontainer 1. - As shown in figure 2 the
protrusion 3a of thewelded area 3 has, in the opening position of thecontainer 1, acavity 9 for the insertion of thetubular element 4. - With reference to the figure 3, in a variant of the
container 1, thenotch 7 consists of a tear off line further including the twonotched lines welded area 3, in correspondence of the itsprotrusion 3a, has a narrowing around thetubular element 4, in order to minimize the use of the bag material in case of large size containers. - With reference to the figures 4 and 5, in a third embodiment of
container 1, thewelded area 3 has at least aholding area 10 below thenotch 7, in order to avoid liquid pouring during tearing. - A
first end 7a of thenotch 7 is located to a predefined distance from thefirst side edge 3b of thewelded area 3. Asecond end 7b of thesame notch 7 is in correspondence of thesecond side edge 3c of thewelded area 3. - The
notch 7 always includes the twonotched lines welded area 3 has, at thefirst end 7a of thenotch 7, acrack arrester 7c with curved edges, in order to avoid the fracture propagation of thewelded area 3, in correspondence of thefirst end 7a, when thecontainer 1 is opened. Thefirst crack arrester 7c may have an elliptical or circular shape. - The
welded area 3 has acut 11a, substantially parallel and below thenotch 7.Such cut 11a has aninitial end 12a in correspondence of thefirst side edge 3b of thewelded area 3 and afinal end 13a substantially spaced out from thetubular element 4. The fraction of thewelded area 3, included between thecut 11a and thenotch 7, defines aflexible strip 14a that maintains connected thebag 2 to theclosing element 5 of thetubular element 4, after the opening of thecontainer 1. - Advantageously, the
welded area 3 has, at theend 13a of thecut 11a, acrack arrester 15a with curved edges, in order to prevent thewelded area 3 fracture in correspondence of theend 13a of thecut 11a. Thecrack arrester 15a may have an elliptical or circular shape. - The
protrusion 3a of thewelded area 3 has acavity 9, complementary shaped in comparison to thesecond end 4b of thetubular element 4, and atubular portion 16 extending fromsaid cavity 9. Thetubular portion 16 has a transversal section wider than the transversal section of thetubular element 4, in order to facilitate the further insertion of theclosing element 5 onto thetubular element 4 for the liquid delivery. - As shown in the figures 4-8, the
lower end 4a of thetubular element 4 is located in correspondence of the border, between thewelded area 3 and the inside of thebag 2, to allow the whole liquid consumption without leaving residual thereof in thecontainer 1. - Furthermore, as shown in the figures from 4 to 8, the
welded area 3 has, above thenotch 7, at least oneservice hole 17 for hanging thebag 2 in a display. - With reference to the figures 6 and 7, a fourth embodiment of the
container 1 differs from the previously described embodiment and shown in the figures 4 and 5, in having located also thesecond end 7b of thenotch 7 to a predefined distance from thesecond side edge 3c of thewelded area 3 and in including, besides thecut 11a, asecond cut 11b, that is located at the opposed side respect to thetubular element 4 and has all the features of thecut 11a. - Particularly, the
second cut 11b has an initial end 12b in correspondence of thesecond side edge 3c of thewelded area 3 and afinal end 13b substantially spaced out from thetubular element 4. Thesecond cut 11b defines, with thenotch 7, a secondflexible strip 14b of thewelded area 3, that co-operates with the firstflexible strip 14a to maintain connected thebag 2 to theclosing element 5, after the opening of thecontainer 1. - Advantageously, the
welded area 3 has acrack arrester 15b with curved edges at theend 13b of thecut 11b, in order to prevent the fracture of thewelded area 3, in correspondence of thefinal end 13b of thesecond cut 11b. Thehole 15b may have an elliptical or circular shape. - Furthermore the welded
area 3 has advantageously asecond crack arrester 7d with curved edges, at thesecond end 7b of thenotch 7, in order to avoid the fracture propagation of the weldedarea 3, in correspondence of thesecond end 7b, when thecontainer 1 is opened. Thesecond crack arrester 7d may have an elliptical or circular shape. - If the
notch 7 is not too short because of the dimensions of theprotrusion 3a of the weldedarea 3, thesecond cut 11b cannot be done. Once more, thenotch 7 includes the twolines - With reference to the figure 8, a fifth embodiment of the
container 1 differs from the previously described embodiment and illustrated in the figures 6 and 7, since it includes connection elements 18 between the two sides of thecut 11a and between the two sides of thecut 11b, in order to prevent theprotrusion 3a of the weldedarea 3 bends inappropriately during the container placement into a transport box. Furthermore, according to the embodiment shown in figure 3, thenotch 7 is constituted by a tear off line and includes the two notchedlines area 3 has a narrowing around thetubular element 4, in correspondence of itsprotrusion 3a. - Figure 9 shows the detail of the
second end 4b of thetubular element 4 in a sixth embodiment of thecontainer 1 having thesecond end 4b of thetubular element 4 which includes astopper 19, putted on the sametubular element 4. - The operation of the liquid
flexible container 1 object of the present invention, is as follow. Once gripped the container, thecut area 6 has to be managed to separate theprotrusion 3a of the weldedarea 3 from thebag 2. Particularly in the embodiments shown in the figures, a torsion and a light traction on theprotrusion 3a have to be exerted in order to break the protrusion, in correspondence of thenotch 7. - More in the detail, the fracture is initiated in correspondence of the two notched
lines notch 7, interesting also theportion 20 of theprotrusion 3a, shown in the figures by means of a dashed line. - Advantageously, to avoid pouring liquid while tearing, the
container 1 can be gripped using the holdingarea 10, arranged below thenotch 7. - So the
closing element 5 can be unthread from thetubular element 4, in order to use the content of thebag 2. - Furthermore, the
closing element 5 is attached to thebag 2 by the means of theflexible strips tubular element 4 during the liquid fruition. - The liquid is delivered by the
tubular element 4. At the end of the use, thecontainer 1 can be closed again steadily and tightly, inserting again theclosing element 5 onto thetubular element 4 by means of thecavity 9. Advantageously, the presence of thetubular portion 16 allows a facilitated insertion, while thecavity 9, being complementary shaped in comparison to thetubular element 4, forces to press the closing element, determining a steady and hermetic closing of thecontainer 1. - The invention achieves important advantages.
- First of all, this solution is particularly simple since the
container 1 has small dimensions and does not limit seriously the number of pieces that can be stored in a transport box or the like. The presence of thetubular element 4 allows an easy delivery of the liquid contained in thebag 2. Thecontainer 1 can be closed again, using theclosing element 5. Furthermore, since the inside walls of thecavity 9 never become in contact with the outside before opening thecontainer 1, the hygiene of the liquid contained therein is guaranteed. - While opening the liquid escapes from the
container 1 are limited and a steady and hermetic closing of thesame container 1 is realized after the opening. - Secondly, both when the
protrusion 3a of the weldedarea 3 is torn off, in correspondence of thenotch 7, and when thecontainer 1 is reopened a second time, after its closure, there is no risk to lose theclosing element 5, because of the presence of at least oneflexible strip 14a, and the release of inopportune refusals in the environment is avoided. - The invention so conceived is susceptible of numerous changes and variations, all included in the inventive concept characterizing the invention.
- So, for instance, the
notch 7, the notchedlines side 3d of the weldedarea 3. Advantageously they can be made on bothsides area 3.
