Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly comprising a package and an apparatus for metered emptying of the package containing a viscous material and being squeezable including at least one discharge opening by being at least partly manufactured from a flexible sheet-like foil material, which apparatus comprises a frame and a metering control means to be coupled therewith for emptying the package, which frame comprises a flat supporting surface for supporting the package, which, starting from a first end, can be squeezed nipwise in the direction of an opposite second end provided with the at least one discharge opening for dispensing the viscous material, by a relative movement between the package and the metering control means.
- the invention further relates to a package for use in such an assembly.
- Such an assembly is known from DE-U 86 08 053, where a sausage-like package is laid in a box-shaped frame with a flat bottom.
- the discharge opening is situated in a spout which, directed upwardly, is laid against a wall of the frame extending perpendicularly to the bottom.
- After cutting away the end of the spout the contents are to be expelled from the package by means of a cylindrical body to be rolled over the bottom.
- the rolling movement of the cylindrical body is confined by a bottom bent upwardly on the side of the spout and ending before the wall against which the spout lies.
- US-A 2 830 734, DE-A-2 061 850 and FR-A-1.252.743 disclose apparatuses intended for emptying a tube with a cap.
- the same problem is encountered with such an assembly, i.e. the package cannot be emptied completely, because the threaded discharge opening of the package is of a relatively stiff construction.
- the same problem occurs with an assembly as known from FR-A-2 443 975, when a tube toothpaste placed in a hanging apparatus is emptied.
- the object of the invention is to design an assembly of the type described in the opening paragraph such that the problems discussed rarely, if ever, occur.
- the discharge opening is situated on the flat supporting surface and the metering control means being movable with respect to the package from said first end to at least the at least one discharge opening for thoroughly emptying the package by completely squeezing the package including the at least one discharge opening.
- the available supporting surface forms a very suitable base for effecting a highly controlled and accurately metered emptying by nipwise squeezing the package from one side to the other, so that material is hardly, if at all, left on the inner walls of the package.
- a very advantageous assembly can be obtained according to a further embodiment of the invention if the package is longitudinally divided into at least two mutually separated compartments, which are situated on the frame lengthwise in a longitudinal direction of the supporting surface, and the metering control means is designed and positioned with a pressure line for the nipwise squeezing of the package extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the supporting surface.
- fixing elements are preferably provided, with which the package can be arrested relative to the supporting surface.
- a clamping strip may be considered, but also projections or hooks which extend through holes suitably provided in the package; of course without creating an access to the interior of the package.
- the metering control means comprises a spindle for winding up the package in emptied form, while during metering the package moves backwards over the supporting surface
- the package may have various forms, for instance a sausage form.
- a package can now be emptied nearly completely, because it is completely squeezed flat and is no longer wrinkled together.
- the package for use in an assembly according to the invention has a flat bag-shaped configuration.
- Such a package can be formed from a tubular foil which is laid down flat and is sealed in this form at the ends; of course after having filling it with the material to be metered.
- the package is formed from two sheet-like parts which are bonded together along their longitudinal edges and according to two strips located transversely thereto, at a distance from each other.
- the supporting surface forms part of an elongated frame part and the package is extended with a loop-shaped part to an endless shell part which fits tautly around the elongated frame part.
- one of the edges of the supporting surface may serve as nip-former, because when pulling over this edge the walls of the package are intimately pressed together and thus displace the viscous material, that is to say press it out.
- a roller pressing on the package and supported on the supporting surface via the package may of course also be provided.
- the movement of the package over the supporting surface can be realized in a relatively simple manner if the metering control means comprises a stationary rotatable deflecting roller with which the shall part can be moved over the elongated frame part.
- the deflecting roller is movable between a placing position in which the shell part can be slid on the elongated frame part and a tensioning position in which the shell part can be moved around the elongated frame part.
- the metering apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises a plate-shaped supporting part 1, to which a substantially U-shaped handle 2 is pivotably attached near the end which, seen in the figures, is the left end.
- a substantially U-shaped supporting arm 3 the free leg ends are pivotably connected to the handle 2, roughly approximately halfway the lengths of the legs of the handle 2.
- Rotatably mounted on the body part of the supporting arm 3 is a roller 4, the arrangement being such that when the handle 2 is swung back and forth, the roller 4 rolls back and forth in a controlled manner over the upper surface of the supporting part 1.
- the supporting part 1 is provided near the left end with a plurality of hooks 5 for arresting a package 6, which is manufactured from two sheets of flexible foil material which are mutually connected stripwise, such that two closed and mutually separated spaces 6a and 6b are formed for accommodating viscous material.
- a package 6 which is manufactured from two sheets of flexible foil material which are mutually connected stripwise, such that two closed and mutually separated spaces 6a and 6b are formed for accommodating viscous material.
- the strip-like connecting area is provided with a plurality of holes 6c for attaching the package 6 to the hooks 5.
- the spaces 6a and 6b each end funnelwise in a mouth 6d.
- the two mouths 6d are opened by cutting away a connecting area comparable to that in which the holes 6c are provided.
- the package 6 After swinging the handle 2 with supporting arm 3 and roller 4 aside, is laid flat on the supporting part 1, while the hooks 5 are passed through the holes 6c. Subsequently, the handle 2 is swung such that the roller 4 can be pressed on the package 6 at the beginning of the spaces 6a and 6b adjacent the hooks 5. After removing a strip for opening the mouths 6d, the metering apparatus is ready for use. By swinging the handle 2 to the right while pressing, the roller 4 will roll over the supporting part 1 to the right and squeeze the package 6 held by the hooks 5, which rolling movement beromes possible, because viscous material is simultaneously expelled from the mouths 6d.
- a roller part with a relatively large radius of curvature which may or may not be constant, can be also used, of which a possible surface to be contacted with the supporting surface is indicated in Fig. 1 by the line 4'.
- the package 6 can be emptied by means of a rocking-rolling movement.
- the relevant roller part can be incorporated in a rocking mechanism which lays down a controlled pressing movement over the supporting surface.
- Figs. 3 and 4 show a metering apparatus comprising a supporting part 11, which, at the left end, carries two ears 12 for supporting a freely rotatable pressure roller 13 and a winding roller 14 which is rotatable by means of a wing grip 15.
- a package 16 of the type as described above is provided at the left end with a flat connecting area, such that it can be passed below the pressure roller 13 into the winding roller 14, which is therefore provided with an inlet slot 14a.
- a clamping strip 17 can be arranged thereon, which comprises a clamping groove 17a and snapping projections 17b. The latter can cooperate with snapping edges 11a, which, as shown in Fig. 4, laterally extend along the supporting part 11.
- the upper surface of the supporting part is provided with a plurality of grooves 18, with which, as shown in the right part of Fig. 3, the clamping groove 17a can engage for intimately clamping the package 16.
- a clamping strip 17 could also be provided with more than one clamping groove 17a, in which case the grooves 18 could be omitted.
- the arrangement of several grooves 18 over the length of the upper surface of the supporting part 11 means that packages of different lengths can be clamped and/or that a package 16 can be emptied portionwise and can be temporarily sealed between times.
- the package After removing the clamping strip 17 and opening the package 16 along the edge where the clamping strip was situated, the package can be emptied in metered amounts by rotating the winding roller 14 by means of the wing grip 15. Consequently, the package 16 is pulled to the left and wound on the roller 14, while the contents of the package are held in place by the pressure roller 13 relative to the supporting part 11, which has the result that the viscous material contained in the package 16 is expelled therefrom. This material falls on the upper surface of the supporting part 11. If this is to be prevented, then this can be simply realized by designing the lower sheet of the package as a slab-shaped extension.
- the dispensing part thereof When a predetermined portion of viscous material is withdrawn from the package 16, the dispensing part thereof will be situated approximately near a further groove 18. By placing the clamping strip 17 the package 16 can be sealed airtight again. Of course, it is also possible not to provide grooves 18 and/or to design the clamping strip 17 such that it can be snapped fast in any place.
- the metering apparatus shown in Figs. 5-7 comprises a supporting part 21, which supports two side walls 22 and 23, on which are mounted racks 22a and 23a, respectively, and above which are arranged guide grooves 22b and 23b, respectively, breaking through the relevant side wall 22, 23.
- a shaft 24 Through the guide grooves 22b and 23b extends a shaft 24, on which is mounted a pressure roller 25, which is interposed between the walls 22 and 23.
- the various dimensions are selected such that the pressure roller 25 can squeeze a package 26.
- Mounted on the shaft 24 and cooperating with racks 22a and 23a are pinions 24a and 24b, respectively. By rotating the shaft 24 via a handwheel 27 the pressure roller 25 will be advanced through the rack-and-pinion cooperation while emptying the package 26.
- the package is arrested relative to the supporting part 21 by means of a spring clamp 28 placed at the left end.
- a closing spring 29 can be placed at the right end for temporarily sealing a partially emptied package 26.
- the metering apparatus shown in Fig. 8 comprises a supporting part 31 with a corrugated upper surface 32. At the right end the supporting part 31 is provided with two side arms 33, between which is supported a tension roller 35 rotatable by means of a handwheel 34.
- a package 36 is of the type as discussed above, though the lower sheet is extended to a shell-shaped part, which has such a circumferential dimension that in the operating position of the metering apparatus it fits tautly around the supporting part 31 and the tension roller 35.
- the expelled viscous material falls on the corotating lower sheet of the package 36 and can thus be easily mixed and removed without filling the corrugated upper surface 32.
- Reliably sealing an opened and partially emptied package 36 is realized by cooperation of a groove in the corrugated upper surface 32 with a wire clamp 37.
- a pressure roller 38 can be arranged, for instance by means of a detachable wire clamp 39 comparable to the wire clamp 37. Furthermore, at the left end of the supporting part 31 a deflecting roller corre. ponding to the tension roller 35 could be arranged.
- the shell part of the package 36 fits tautly around the supporting part 31 and the tension roller 35.
- the tension roller 35 may be adjustable between two positions, for instance in the manner shown in Fig. 10.
- the lower surfaces of the two ears 33 supported by the supporting part 31 are provided with a cam track 40, into which the shaft 35a of the tension roller 35 extends.
- the position shown in Fig. 10 represents the tensioned or operating position.
- the tension roller 35 By pulling the tension roller 35 to the right and then bringing it down and to the left, which movement is possible due to the elasticity of the package 36, the tension roller 35 can be brought into a placing position, which, relative to the tensioning position, is located farther to the left, with the result that the shell part comes to lie loosely around the supporting part 31 and the tension roller 35, so that a package can be easily removed and placed.
- the metering apparatus partly shown in Fig. 11 comprises a supporting part 41, which, at the left end, carries on both sides an L-shaped supporting arm 42 for supporting a pressure roller 43 and a counter roller 44, which cooperate nipwise, while the pressure roller 43 can be rotated by means of a handwheel 45.
- a package 46 of the type discussed before is placed on the supporting part 41 in lying position, with its left connecting part in the nip between the rollers 43 and 44, after which the package 46 is pulled to the left by turning the handwheel 45 and can thus be emptied, after making an opening on the right side not shown.
- the circumferential surfaces of the rollers 43 and 44 can be provided with cooperating profiles.
