Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic container, each having a graphic representation Container part and lid part, the container part a stacking shoulder and the Cover part has a laterally projecting handle part.
  • Plastic containers of this type are known for example from DE-B-3326369 or EP-B-0,408,515th
  • this is printed with a Provide cardboard jacket.
  • the lid part to be sealed on the upper flange edge receives a printed, advertising-effective outer surface.
  • the container parts and lid parts are stacked in large numbers each one remote filling and locking system supplied and in such a stacked arrangement in these are used to be connected to each other by automatically acting tools become. Because of their at least substantially circular cross section, the containers stacked one inside the other during their handling and during transport twist so that the graphical representation in the circumferential direction is a random or indefinite one Get alignment.
  • the invention is the task of finding a plastic container of the type mentioned, the container parts are secured in the stacked position against mutual rotation so that its Lid part with little effort in a predetermined angular position relative to the container part can be connected to it.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically each show a direction-oriented part 1 and 2 of a graphic representation provided on the plastic container 3.
  • Fig. 1 there is a random and therefore different orientation of part 1 to part 2 of the graph, so that there is no predetermined acting relationship possible between them.
  • the invention achieves that part 1 of the graphic representation of the cover part 4 always the same orientation to part 2 of the graphic representation of the container part 5 of the plastic container, so that both according to the illustration in Figure 2 without mutual transfer can merge.
  • the container parts 5 Because of their manufacture in the deep-drawing process, the container parts 5 have a conical shape Shape that enables their space-saving stacking in one another. In this arrangement it is delivered to a customer who uses it in a stacked manner in a filling system. In They are filled with yoghurt, for example, and then with the supplied one Cover part 4 closed by sealing. So that the stacked container parts 5 during their transport from the manufacturing plant to a remote filling plant itself twist each other, are matching locking elements on the circumference of the container parts 6 and locking recesses 7 are formed, so that the locking recess 7 of one when stacked Container part 5 can snap into place via the locking element 6 of the other container part 5.
  • a mutual twisting of stacked lid parts 4 is by the side protruding handle part 14 prevented.
  • the arrangement of e.g. four latching elements 6 provided at a distance of 90 ° to one another is preferably carried out on a stack edge 8 of the container part 5, while the locking recesses 7 are formed in an edge bead 9 of the container bottom 10.
  • the stack edge 8 has the task of providing an axial distance between the stacked container parts 5, so that they don't wedge into each other
  • the container part inserted into another is thus supported 5 with its bottom edge bead 9 on the stacking shoulder 8 of the one surrounding it other container part 5 from, the recess 7 of the bead on the Locking element 6 slides so that an effective in the circumferential direction of the container part 5 Latching results.
  • the latching element 6 preferably has a shape which tapers upwards, so that its Movement into the recess 7 is supported.
  • bottom edge bead 9 and the stacking shoulder 8 results, for example through a circumferential cylindrical recess formed between the two 11, so that the stacking shoulder 8 through the transition from a cylindrical to a conical Area of the container side wall 12 is formed.
  • the bottom edge bead 9 fulfills the additional task of the graphic representation to engage under the paper sleeve 13 in a form-fitting manner.
  • FIG. 6 shows the example of a container shape, the cross section of which is somewhat different deviates from the circular shape.
  • the anti-rotation device according to the invention has stacked Container parts have the additional advantage that a mutual wedging by twisting the container parts is prevented. This would make removal in the filling system difficult with their possible malfunction.
  • the container part 5 Due to the production of the container part 5 by deep drawing a plastic film, its Profileing e.g. to form the stacking shoulder 8, the locking element 6 and the locking recess 7 executed in the form of correspondingly shaped bulges of the plastic film.
