Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure of a foil bag for packaging hygiene wet wipes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the removal opening is covered with two partially overlapping flaps, wherein these flaps are biased in the unopened state such that the removal opening is covered.
  • the user will then press apart the two flaps and remove the wet wipe.
  • the flaps will at least partially reseal the resulting gap to prevent the remaining wipes from drying out. Over time, however, these lobes will wear out, so that the gap becomes larger and, after a certain time, a drying out of the wet wipes can no longer be prevented.
  • the present invention the object of providing a closure of the type mentioned, which keeps the wet wipes as moist as possible after opening the shutter.
  • a trained according to this technical teaching closure has the advantage that the skin closes the removal opening airtight and thus drying out of the wet wipes in the closed state is reliably prevented.
  • the predetermined breaking point is pierced and created the removal slot.
  • this slot is very narrow, so that the opening, through which the moisture can escape, remains minimized. This condition will achieved even after repeated removal of wet wipes, so that the withdrawal slot reveals even after repeated removal of wet wipes only a minimal opening.
  • the predetermined breaking point As an area with a reduced material thickness. This is manufacturing technology very easy and inexpensive possible.
  • the skin is formed of a soft plastic, in particular of HDPE. This allows a very easy puncture of the predetermined breaking point and at the same time causes the skin due to their memory property, the opening of the withdrawal slot always reduced to a minimum.
  • the removal slot comprises a main slot and at least one, preferably two transverse slots adjoining the main slot at its ends.
  • the removal slot forms quasi two opposing flaps, which can be pushed away when removing a wet tissue without much effort and then move back due to the memory properties of the material back to their original position to reduce the opening of the withdrawal slot to a minimum, and so as to prevent the wet wipes from drying out.
  • the main slot is curved like an upper lip of a mouth. This has the advantage that due to the thus extended main slot the skin is less stressed when removing a wet wipe and thus the slot remains permanently small, so that permanently low moisture escapes.
  • the frame is made of hard plastic, in particular of PP. This has the advantage that the closure has a high strength and rigidity and remains dimensionally stable over its life.
  • the frame is made of soft plastic, especially HDPE or an elastomer. This has the advantage that the skin can be inexpensively attached to the frame.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of a closure 10 according to the invention, which is attached to a foil bag 12.
  • a number of wet wipes 14 are stored, which can be removed through a removal opening 16 in the closure 10.
  • the closure 10 comprises a lid 18 and a frame 20, wherein the frame 20 is welded to the film bag 12 and wherein the lid 18, the discharge opening 16 airtight closes when the lid 18 rests on the frame 20.
  • the removal opening 16 is hermetically sealed with a skin 22.
  • the skin 22 has an area in which a reduced material thickness is present, so that here a predetermined breaking point is created.
  • the user penetrates the predetermined breaking point, ie the area of reduced material thickness and thus creates a withdrawal slot 24.
  • the uppermost wet tissue 14 can then be removed, wherein due to the folding of the wipes in this case a tip of the next uppermost wet tissue is pulled out through the removal slot 24, as can be seen in particular in Figure 4.
  • the skin 22 is preferably made of HDPE, ie a soft and flexible plastic and has a memory property, so that the skin 22 always strives back to its original form.
  • the opening provided by the removal slot 24 is always reduced to a minimum, so that in the interior of the film bag 12 as good as no air can enter. This has the consequence that no drying of the wet wipes takes place.
  • the only exception to this is the small tip, which protrudes from the withdrawal slots 24. But even this little tip is preserved from excessive drying, since the lid 18 can be pressed onto the frame 20 and thus also hermetically seals the tip.
  • the removal slot 24 is arranged centrally in the removal opening 16 and comprises a substantially elongated and curved main slots 26 and two transversely to the main slot 26 mounted transverse slots 28, 30.
  • the transverse slots 30 are arcuately curved and are arranged at the two ends of the main slot 26 , In this case, the main slot 26 meets centrally on the respective transverse slot 28, 30, so that through the removal slot 24 quasi two flaps are formed in the skin 22, which bend away when removing a wet tissue 14 upwards and then due to the memory property of the material back in get back to their starting position.
  • the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4 only in that the main slot 26 'of the second embodiment is not formed in a wave-like manner, but in accordance with an upper lip of a mouth.
  • the frame 20 is made of a hard plastic, preferably of PP, to which the skin 22 made of a soft plastic, preferably made of HDPE, is attached.
  • both the frame and the skin are made of the same soft plastic, preferably of HDPE.
  • the frame and the skin are made of different soft plastics.
  • the frame is made of an elastomer.
