Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-chamber packaging with a bottom part having at least two wells for receiving the components, and a Deckfo ⁇ lie, which is connected to the bottom part, wherein the connection area zwi ⁇ tween the at least two wells is releasable by applying pressure to the components together Mix.
- EP 1 021 356 of the applicant shows such a package in which different sealing strengths are formed in the edge region between cover sheet and bottom part on the one hand and the connecting region (web) between the wells are to ensure that the edge-side connection between the bottom part and the cover foil is maintained when the connection between the two chambers is established by breaking the web.
- WO84 / 02892 and WO 02/38468 A1 also show similar solutions.
- the components intended for mixing are often so different in their chemical and / or physical nature that This leads to different product-specific demands on the physical properties of the packing materials used, that is, for example, the cover film.
- Such requirements may be, for example, gas permeability / gas impermeability or light transmission.
- this object is achieved in that the cover film is formed from two films of different nature, and that a section or a surface over at least one cup is covered only by one of these two films.
- the basic idea of the invention can be seen in the fact that by selectively covering the bottom part or the components located in the two wells with the two films tailored to the "requirement profile", the desired physical properties with regard to gas tightness and light transmission for both wells can be set separately.
- the film of the cover film facing the bottom part and thus of the respective component as a plastic film which extends over the entire surface of the multi-chamber packaging and has the properties which are obtained from one of the components.
- a gas permeability at a certain height or a light transmittance or opacity in a certain extent.
- the plastic film is translucent
- printing by means of a specific color, which corresponds to the color of the mixture after mixing the two components can achieve that only when the color of the mixture and the color of the printing match the package is opened to take the mixed end product, which is an additional quality guarantee.
- the second film, which is sealed onto the plastic film, is in particular a gas-impermeable film, that is to say a so-called high-barrier film, for example of aluminum, which does not exchange anything, such as e.g. Water vapor allowed with the environment.
- This film extends over a cup, the content of which must ensure that there is no exchange of gases or liquids through the film (in which case the bottom part will also be made of a suitably gas-impermeable material, for example also an aluminum foil).
- This gas-impermeable film of the cover film extends at least over the connecting region / the web between the two cups for receiving the two components.
- Another possibility is to provide the Kunststoff ⁇ fabric film with a coloring when the same arrangement, if the product in the respective cup is sensitive to a high light intensity or a certain spectral range spectral range of the light.
- FIG. 1 section and top view of the first exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 2 cross section through the multi-chamber package according to claim 1 during the mixing process
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show two further exemplary embodiments of the multichamber packaging in a top view
- Figure 4A-4D Examples for activation protection of Mehrhuntver ⁇ pack.
- the multichamber packaging shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a bottom part 10, for example an aluminum thermoforming foil, in which two wells 11 and 12 for receiving components P1 and P2 are formed in a known manner.
- the cover and the completion of the bottom part 10 is effected by a cover film constructed from two foils 20 and 30.
- the lower, the wells 11 and 12 facing film 20 is in the illustrated embodiment, a translucent plastic film
- the outer second film 30 is a gas-impermeable aluminum foil or a similar manner in Wir ⁇ material such as silica film.
- the film 30 extends over the entire second cup 12 and the web S between the two wells 11 and 12, but only in part via the first cup eleventh
- the plastic film 20 has a print mark D whose structure and / or coloring is chosen such that it corresponds to the structure / coloring of the end product completely and correctly mixed from the two components P1, P2.
- the two foils 20 and 30 are sealed with their edge R with a first seal strength on the bottom part 10, with a second, lower thickness in the region of the web S, as in the above-mentioned EP 1 021 356 is described, so that this requires no further explanation.
- a pressure exerted on one of the two cups 11 or 12 thus has the consequence that the weak seal area in the region of the web auf ⁇ breaks and the two components P1 and P2 can be mixed, for example by bending or flexing movements with each other and over both cups 11 and 12 evenly distributed (in Figure 2, the beginning of this mixing process is indicated).
- the user can do this by comparing the color and texture in the bowl 11 with the color and texture of the bowl
- the production of the packaging can be carried out in particular in the following steps:
- the two films 20 and 30 are removed from rolls and fed to each other, wherein previously the print mark D is applied to the film 20 is the wor ⁇ .
- the two films 20 and 30 are joined together, for example, by welding, at least in their edge regions, and then guided to the bottom part 10 filled with the components P1, P2, where the above-described peel-sealing of the film 20 takes place on the bottom part 10, which takes place "Opening function" of the web area S guaranteed.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show two further exemplary embodiments in a plan view, wherein the outer film 30, which here likewise may be a gas-impermeable aluminum foil, has punched-out areas 30A in the form of circular areas, so that "windows" are left over to the underlying film 20, which may be colored here, for example.
- the outer film 30, which here likewise may be a gas-impermeable aluminum foil, has punched-out areas 30A in the form of circular areas, so that "windows" are left over to the underlying film 20, which may be colored here, for example.
- Such a variant can be used when the component P2 in the cup 11 requires a certain gas permeability, but must be protected against strong exposure to light.
- FIG. 4 shows three examples for the activation protection of the multi-chamber package; all examples aim to block unintentional opening of the web S between the cups 11 and 12 and thus the activation of the component system by folding over the multi-chamber package by 180 °:
- FIG. 4A Either by insertion into an outer packaging, for example a folding box 40 (FIG. 4A), or by an adhesive label 41 (FIG. 4B), or by punching lines 42A or 42B.42C in the opposite end regions to produce interlocking locking tabs (FIG. 4C, FIG. 4D).
- a folding box 40 FIG. 4A
- an adhesive label 41 FIG. 4B
- punching lines 42A or 42B.42C in the opposite end regions to produce interlocking locking tabs
