Definitions

  • the invention relates to a resealable Container, in particular a cardboard plastic multilayer composite package for holding liquid or pasty Products, with a rectangular base, four in essentially arranged at right angles to each other Side surfaces (body surfaces), one with a web seam after filling the pack closed head area and one on an inclined surface in the head area arranged closure element.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, the known, previously described in more detail So reshaping and reshaping container develop further that the container volume optimally can be exploited without giving up the benefits of known containers in terms of production, Refilling and closing.
  • the blank of such a container should Resulting form of the pack attached Closure in the best possible way against the influence of force and Protect damage.
  • the cut should be like this be that of the current production technology is taken into account, at least in general terms.
  • the provided in the head area web seam to the inclined surface be killed or turn away from her.
  • the advantage of inventive design of the web seam in that this always runs at right angles to the inclined surface, so that the "packing ears" to the body surface with Abut inclined surface adjacent body surfaces.
  • the bulge or indentation from the head area up evenly to the floor area it is possible that the bulge or indentation forming Continue folding lines down to the lower corners of the box, or at the lower front edge of the inclined surface having body surface in the area of the box corners end up.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 is a first embodiment a container according to the invention in perspective shown.
  • the container does not have a closer designated rectangular base and four in essentially arranged at right angles to each other Side surfaces, carcase surfaces 1, 2, 3 and 4, on.
  • in the Head area is the container with a web seam 5 closed, triangular "ears" 6 are on the Body surfaces 3 and 4 folded.
  • In the head area of Carcass surface 1 is an inclined surface 7 can be seen, the from the rectangle profile specified by the base area the container protrudes and on which a closure element 8 is applied. This indicates that below the Closure element 8 located body surface 1 a Bulge on, so that this surface convex out of the cuboid body emerges.
  • the opposite (rear) carcass surface 2 is with a corresponding unspecified indentation provided, as explained in more detail below.
  • Figs. 3 to 5 of the container according to the invention in shown three different side views.
  • the container according to the invention below with reference to the description of its blank explained in more detail.
  • Fig. 6 is the blank of the container according to the invention, from each may consist of appropriate material, preferably from the for beverage disposable packaging usual composite material.
  • the blank is made a square arch of the corresponding material.
  • This quadrangle is divided by the vertical Corner lines 9, 10, 11, 12 and the border lines of the blank in five main fields, the later side surfaces 1, 2, 3 and 4 and a longitudinal seam strip 13.
  • the main fields 1 and 2 differ in essential characteristics.
  • the main square 1 through the vertical corner lines 10 and 11 and the upper and lower Edge of the arc defines, has in the upper area over a centrally arranged square box 7 (the later Inclined surface), which is for receiving the closure element. 8 is determined.
  • field 7 weakens for example, perforation 14, in the composite material intended. From the corner points of the field 7 lead Fold lines to the vertices of the later Packing ears 6 forming triangles 15 and 16.
  • the two bottom corners of the field 7 are about fold lines 17th and 18 with those formed with the bottom edge folding line 19 Intersections of the field 1 connected, they end there in the corners.
  • the position of the field 7 and his Sizing is variable and refer to the Space requirement or the height of the closure element 8. Um to achieve optimal stacking, it is recommended the sizing and positioning of the previously described area of the field 7 and on the rear side wall 2 corresponding surface 20 so form that on the same horizontal plane is like the highest point of the closure element. 8
  • fold lines 21 and 22 for the stabilization and structuring of the indented back surface available are lost from the lower corners of the surface 20 to the with the bottom edge fold line 19 formed intersections of Field 2, there again to the corners.
  • FIGS. 7 to 12 A further embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 to 12 described, wherein the reference numerals used are arranged accordingly.
  • This embodiment of the container according to the invention shows a body surface 1 ', in the head of the container in a Trapezoidal inclined surface 7 'merges, which intended is to receive the closure element 8.
  • this Embodiment of the container according to the invention shows, is also the corresponding surface 20 'of rear body surface 2 'trapezoidal.
  • FIGS. 13 to 18 is another Embodiment of the container according to the invention described.
  • the head area of the Container substantially in the first Embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 6).
  • the web seam 5 has been transferred to the other side, so that the inclined surface 7 "is larger than the first Embodiment.
  • Fig. 18 out The cut shown there can be seen that the longitudinal seam 13 'now not on the back, but at the front of the invention Container, namely on the body surface 1 "is formed.
  • the Stegnaht 5 of the Body surface 1 "and the inclined surface 7" facile turned over to a too strong material bending of the longitudinal seam to avoid.
