Description

Spülmittel-Tab-Packung für Geschirrspülmaschinen Detergent tab pack for dishwashers
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Spülmittel-Tab-Packung mit kompakter, tablettenartig konfektionierter Spülmittelmasse und einer diese umgebenden Umhüllung.The present invention relates to a detergent tab pack with a compact, tablet-like detergent composition and a surrounding envelope.
Spülmittel für Geschirrspülmaschinen kommt in Form von Pulver und in Form von Tabletten, sog. Tabs in den Handel. Tabs haben den Vorteil, daß das Abmessen der Spülmittelmenge entfallt. Problematisch ist jedoch die Zugabe von Spülmittel beim Vorspülgang. Manche Hersteller schreiben vor, die Tabs in die Dosierkammer zu geben, wobei dann jedoch für den Vorspülgang kein Spülmittel zur Verfügung steht. Es gibt auch Tabs, die in den Geschirrkorb eingelegt werden sollen. Hier ist es jedoch sehr schwierig, das Lösungsverhalten der Spülmittelmasse so einzurichten, daß sich jeweils die richtigen Mengen beim Vorspülgang und beim Hauptspülgang lösen, da sich Dauer und Temperatur des Vorspülgangs bei den verschiedenen Geschirrspül- maschinentypen und Programmen erheblich unterscheiden können.Dishwashing liquid for dishwashers comes in the form of powder and in the form of tablets, so-called tabs. Tabs have the advantage that there is no need to measure the amount of detergent. However, adding detergent during the pre-wash cycle is problematic. Some manufacturers require the tabs to be placed in the dosing chamber, but then no detergent is available for the pre-rinse cycle. There are also tabs that should be placed in the crockery basket. Here, however, it is very difficult to set up the dissolving behavior of the detergent mass in such a way that the correct amounts dissolve in the pre-wash cycle and in the main wash cycle, since the duration and temperature of the pre-wash cycle can differ considerably between the different types of dishwasher and programs.
Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird dieses Problem dadurch gelöst, daß die in einer Umhüllung enthaltene Spülmittelmasse mindestens zwei getrennte oder an vorgegebener Stelle trennbare Teile umfaßt. Die Teile haben vorzugsweise unterschiedliche Größen, die Spülmittelmasse ist also unsymmetrisch aufgeteilt. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht sie aus einem ersten kleineren Teil für den Vorspülgang und einen zweiten größeren Teil für den Hauptspülgang.This problem is solved by the present invention in that the detergent composition contained in an envelope comprises at least two separate parts or parts which can be separated at a predetermined location. The parts preferably have different sizes, so the detergent mass is divided asymmetrically. In a preferred embodiment, it consists of a first smaller part for the pre-wash cycle and a second larger part for the main wash cycle.
Mehr als zwei Teile in einer Umhüllung können dann sinnvoll sein, wenn bei geringem Geschirranfall mehrmals vorgespült wird und mehrere Vorspülmittel-Teile benötigt werden. Eine mehrfache Unterteilung der Tabs ermöglicht auch eine genauere Dosierung der Spülmittelmenge.More than two parts in a wrapper can be useful if the dishes are prewashed several times and several parts of the pre-detergent are required. A multiple subdivision of the tabs also enables a more precise dosage of the amount of detergent.
Die Teile der Spülmittelmasse können zusammenhängen und durch eine Abbrechrille trennbar sein. Die Umhüllung kann auch mechanisch getrennte Spülmittelkörper enthalten. In diesem Fall kann die Umhüllung getrennte Fächer für die verschiedenen Teile aufweisen.The parts of the detergent mass can be connected and can be separated by a break-off groove. The casing can also be mechanically separated detergent bodies contain. In this case, the wrapper can have separate compartments for the different parts.
Die Spülmittelmasse kann die üblichen Spülmittelzusammensetzungen enthalten. Ihre Teile können sich bezüglich ihrer Inhaltstoffe unterscheiden, um jeweils ein optimales Spülergebnis zu erzielen, und/oder farblich verschieden sein, sich also hinsichtlich ihres Gehalts an farbgebendem Mittel, wie Farbstoff oder Pigment, unterscheiden.The detergent composition can contain the usual detergent compositions. Their parts can differ with regard to their ingredients, in order to achieve an optimal washing result, and / or be different in color, that is to say differ in terms of their content of colorant, such as dye or pigment.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform der Spülmittel-Tab-Packung gemäß der Erfindung, bei der die Spülmittelmasse einen einstückigen, durch eine Abbrechlille zerteilbaren Körper bildet.Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the detergent tab pack according to the invention, in which the detergent mass forms a one-piece body that can be divided by a break-off lens.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine zweite Ausführungsform, bei der die Spülmittelmasse zwei getrennte Teile aufweist.Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment in which the detergent mass has two separate parts.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ausführungsform mit drei getrennten Spülmittelkörpern, die in getrennten Fächern einer zusammenhängenden Umhüllung untergebracht sind.Fig. 3 shows an embodiment with three separate detergent bodies, which are housed in separate compartments of a coherent envelope.
Fig. 4 zeigt eine Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 2.FIG. 4 shows a modification of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2.
Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Spülmittel-Tab-Packung enthält einen einstückigen im wesentlichen quaderförmigen Spülmittelkörper 10, der durch eine parallel zur kleinsten Seitenfläche verlaufende Abbrechrille 12 in zwei Teile unterteilt und dementsprechend zerteilbar ist, nämlich einen kleineren ersten Teil 10a für den Vorspülgang und einen größeren zweiten Teil 10b für den Hauptspülgang. Der Spülmittelkörper 10 ist, wie üblich, mit einer geschlossenen, aufreißbaren Umhüllung 16 aus Kunststoff-Folie umgeben.The detergent tab pack shown in FIG. 1 contains a one-piece, essentially cuboid detergent body 10, which is divided into two parts by a break-off groove 12 running parallel to the smallest side surface and can be divided accordingly, namely a smaller first part 10a for the pre-wash cycle and one larger second part 10b for the main wash cycle. The detergent body 10 is, as usual, surrounded by a closed, tearable sheath 16 made of plastic film.
Bei der Spülmittel-Tab-Packung gemäß Fig. 2 enthalt die Umhüllung 16 zwei mechanisch getrennte, verschieden große Teile 20a und 20b, die gemeinsam im Inneren der Umhüllung untergebracht sind.2, the casing 16 contains two mechanically separate, differently sized parts 20a and 20b, which are housed together in the interior of the casing.
Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 sind zwei kleinere Teile 30a, 30b der Spülmittelmasse in einer ersten und einer zweiten Kammer der Umhüllung 16a untergebracht. Ein ditter, größerer Teil 30c ist in einer dritten, mit den ersten beiden Kammern zusammenhängenden Kammer der Umhüllung untergebracht. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders für den Fall geeignet, daß mehr als zwei Tab-Teile vorgesehen sind.In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, two smaller parts 30a, 30b of the detergent mass are accommodated in a first and a second chamber of the casing 16a. A third, larger portion 30c is in a third, with the first two Chamber related chamber housed the envelope. This embodiment is particularly suitable in the event that more than two tab parts are provided.
Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 enthält, wie die gemäß Fig. 2, zwei getrennte Spülmittelkörper-Teile 40a, 40b für den Vor- bzw. Haupt- Spülgang, die Trennung verläuft hier parallel zur großen Fläche der quaderförmigen Körper.The embodiment according to FIG. 4, like that according to FIG. 2, contains two separate detergent body parts 40a, 40b for the pre-wash or main wash cycle, the separation here runs parallel to the large area of the cuboid bodies.
Wenn die Packung mehrere kleinere Tab-Teile enthält, ist zweckmäßig, wenn die Menge des Spülmittels in den kleineren Tab-Teilen in einem kleinen ganzzahligen Verhältnis zu der Menge steht, die für den Hauptspülgang benötigt wird, z. B. 1 : 2 oder 1 : 3. Man kann dann eine entsprechende Anzahl übriggebliebener kleinerer Teile für den Hauptspülgang verwenden. Es ist auch möglich, in einer Umhüllung mehrere kleinere Teile unterzubringen, deren Spülmittelmenge einzeln zwar für einen Vorspülgang nicht jedoch für einen Hauptspülgang ausreicht, in ihrer Gesamtheit jedoch für einen Hauptspülgang und ggf. einen Vorspülgang genügt.If the pack contains several smaller tab parts, it is expedient if the amount of detergent in the smaller tab parts is in a small integer ratio to the amount required for the main wash cycle, e.g. B. 1: 2 or 1: 3. You can then use an appropriate number of remaining smaller parts for the main wash cycle. It is also possible to accommodate several smaller parts in a casing, the amount of detergent of which is sufficient for a pre-wash cycle but not for a main wash cycle, but in its entirety is sufficient for a main wash cycle and possibly a pre-wash cycle.
Der für den Vorspülgang vorgesehene Teil kann mehr Tensid als der für den Hauptspülgang vorgesehenen Teil enthalten, um das Entfernen von unlösbaren Speiseresten z. B. Spinat, zu fördern, während der für den Hauptspülgang bestimmte Teil z. B. zusätzlich Enzyme etc. enthält, die ihre Wirkung bei dem länger dauernden und mit höheren Temperaturen arbeitenden Hauptspülgang besonders gut entfalten.The part intended for the pre-rinse cycle may contain more surfactant than the part intended for the main rinse cycle in order to remove insoluble food residues e.g. As spinach, to promote while the part intended for the main wash z. B. additionally contains enzymes, etc., which have a particularly good effect in the longer main wash cycle, which works at higher temperatures.
Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Spülmittel-Tab-Packungen sind die kleineren Teile frei von Farbstoff und Pigment, während die größeren Teile einen blauen Farbstoff enthalten.In one embodiment of the present detergent tab packs, the smaller parts are free of dye and pigment, while the larger parts contain a blue dye.
Das Verhältnis der Gewichte von Vorspülteil zu Hauptspülteil beträgt bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel einer zwei Tab-Teile enthaltenden Packung 1 : 4 bis 1 : 6. Es kann, insbesondere bei unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung der beiden Teile, auch zwischen 1 : 2 und 1: 10 Hegen. Diese Werte und Bereiche sind nicht einschränkend auszulegen,The ratio of the weights of the pre-rinsing part to the main rinsing part is 1: 4 to 1: 6 in a preferred embodiment of a pack containing two tab parts. In particular when the two parts have different compositions, it can also be between 1: 2 and 1:10. These values and ranges are not to be interpreted restrictively,
Der Spülmittelkörper 10 in Fig. 1 kann mehr als eine Abbrechrille aufweisen. Die.größeren Teile 20b (Fig. 2), 30c (Fig. 3), und die Teile 40a, 40b (Fig. 4) können auch mit mindestens einer Abbrechrille versehen sein, die z. B. ein Halbieren der betreffenden Körper ermöglicht. Die Körper 10, 20a, 20b, 30a, 30b, 30c können wie in Fig. 4 unterteilt sein. The detergent body 10 in FIG. 1 can have more than one break-off groove. The larger parts 20b (Fig. 2), 30c (Fig. 3), and the parts 40a, 40b (Fig. 4) can also be provided with at least one break-off groove which, for. B. allows halving the body in question.
