Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reclosable, from Pouring element made of film material, in particular for liquid-absorbent cartons, with a base body having a pouring opening, one Pouring lip and a lid that is a deep-drawn or embossed closure tube assigned to the pouring opening and has at least one film hinge (11) having section connected to the base body (4) is, the film hinge spaced from one rear edge of the base body (4) is arranged, wherein the lid and the pouring lip each narrower than that Basic body are formed and the Locking tube in a closed position in the Pour the pouring opening into place and as far as possible seals liquid-tight. It is also the subject of Invention a pack made of thermoplastic material coated cardboard, especially for liquids that have such a pouring element.
  • FIG WO 97/00206 Such a pouring element is shown in FIG WO 97/00206 shown.
  • This well-known pouring element is composed of several elements. It consists of a first item that is on a pack for Liquids are glued on the outside and one Has pouring lip, and a second element, the one thin, deep drawn closure tube and on the first element is laminated. That on the outside of the The first element applied to the pack points to it Top side areas on which the liquid when Pour out in the direction of the pouring lip.
  • US 4,852,764 discloses a pouring element preferably for packaging granules.
  • This Pouring element has a lid and a base body on, the lid over a hinge, which is directly on the Edge of an opening in the base body is attached to the Basic body is connected. Furthermore, there is a Tab provided that way under the body that the front edge of the flap can be folded Can lock the lid in the opening. To achieve, that when folded, the bottom of the flap parallel to the underside of the rest of the body runs, two edges are provided through which the part of the base body above the folded tab is transferred. The edges are directly adjacent to the Pouring opening.
  • Such a pouring element has the disadvantage that the lid and opening in the base body have the same size, making a liquid-tight Closing becomes almost impossible.
  • a pouring element is known from US Pat. No. 4,732,315, which comprises a cover and a basic element.
  • the lid is a hinge on the rear edge of the Basic element connected to this. Furthermore, the Lid beyond the basic element. With that a such pouring element is not on the inside of the Pack are attached and the problem arises the sealing of the cut edges.
  • the present invention is based on the object a reclosable pouring element especially for made of plastic-coated cardboard and if required an aluminum gas barrier Providing liquid packs is the good thing Casting properties as well as a when closed low height.
  • Pouring element to be inexpensive to manufacture and also Safe protection from cost-effectively Penetration of liquid into the cardboard cut edge of the enable the packaging opening covered by it.
  • the pouring element according to the invention can be inexpensive from thin film strip material, preferably from a gas barrier Multi-layer film for use in aseptic produce bottled, long-lasting products in the form of a flat, one-piece Pouring. Because of the thin film material only carries the pouring element according to the invention insignificant. It can't just be on the outside of the Pack, but especially on the inside of the Pack are applied. Through an application on the Inside the pack, the cut edge is the one of it covered package opening on simple and Inexpensive way safe from intrusion Liquid protected.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention Pouring element is that its pouring opening through one connected to the lid's locking tube Foil is sealed liquid-tight, which when opening the lid for the first time. This will an absolute tightness of the pouring element before first opening the lid.
  • the pouring opening has a protruding edge portion has, which is arranged adjacent to the pouring lip.
  • the Lock tube of the lid in its closed position a clamping effect exerted against the lid prevents unwanted opening.
  • the shape of the lid is adjusted the pouring opening so that it fits into the Pour opening into place.
  • the lid can be used in its closure tube position also on one of the Pouring lip trained folding edge can be locked.
  • Pouring element 1 is made in one piece from a thin, produced elastically flexible film strip material 2, preferably made of polyethylene sealable There is plastic and a thickness of preferably has less than 1 mm, for example 0.5 mm.
  • the Film strip material 2 can be used for packaging aseptically filled, oxygen sensitive products preferably from a multilayer film with gas and / or Aroma barrier layers exist. From the Film strip material 2 first becomes the outer shape pouring element 1 and its elongated pouring opening 3 cut out or punched out.
  • the pouring element 1 has a base body 4, a Pour lip 5 and a lid 6.
  • the pouring opening 3 containing base body 4 has a substantially rectangular shape, with rounded corners.
  • the Lid 6 and the lip 5 are each strip-shaped and narrower than that Basic body 4.
  • the cover 6 has a rounded end, that serves as a handling surface 7.
  • the end of the pouring lip 5, on the other hand, is essentially rectangular by two Corners defined.
  • the cover 6 also has a through Deep drawing, embossing or stamping, the Pour opening 3 associated closure tube 8. It is to recognize that the pouring opening 3 a protruding Has edge section 9, which is adjacent to the pouring lip 5 is arranged.
  • the protruding edge section 9 exercises the closure tube 8 of the lid 6 when closed Cover 6 a clamping action, so that the cover 6 in its locking tube position is secured.
  • the Sealing tube 8 is dimensioned so that it is in the Closed position of the lid 6 in the pouring opening 3 snaps into place and largely liquid-tight closes (see FIG. 3).
  • the lid 6 is over a section that two in essentially parallel to each other Has film hinges 10, 11 with the base body 4th connected. Likewise, the pouring lip 5 by one two essentially parallel to each other Film hinges 12, 13 section having the Base body 4 connected.
  • the film hinges 10, 11, 12, 13 are caused by creasing or weakening the film material generated and are each spaced from the pouring opening 3 arranged.
  • the pouring element 1 can thus be in a mold fold in which the between the film hinges 12, 13th located underside section 14 of the pouring lip 5 and that between the film hinges 10, 11 top section 15 of the lid 6 together with the Longitudinal edges 16, 17 of the base body 4 as a sealing edge Application of the pouring element 1 on the inside a pack 18 can be used.
  • FIG. 4 is a top portion of a Blanks 19 of a pack of thermoplastic Material coated cardboard shown. With 20 are in the Cut film hinges produced by grooves designated.
  • the blank 19 is an elongated, rectangular opening 21 punched out only slightly wider than the pouring lip 5 or the lid 6 of the with Inside of the package blank 19 by welding or Glue the liquid-tight pouring element 1 is.
  • the length of the opening 21 is slightly larger than the distance between the film hinges 11, 12 of the applied Pouring element 1, so that the pouring lip 5 zigzag folded through at the top of the package blank 19 Welding or gluing fixed and the lid 6 out of it Lock position unimpeded by more than 90 °, in particular, can be swung open by up to approximately 180 ° can.
  • the handling surface 7 is compared to the one having the closure tube 8 Lid section defined by a section of two essentially parallel to each other Has film hinges 22, 23 (see FIG. 2). The end the handling surface 7 is in the closed position the lid 6 over the side edge of the pack 18 something before, so that the handling surface 7 after bending down the pouring lip 5 can be gripped well.
  • the distances between the film hinges 10 to 13, 22, 23 are so dimensioned that the cover 6 in its closed position the folding edge 12 of the lip 5 engages slightly below and can thus be locked on the pouring lip 5.
