Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein standfestfestes kollabierbares Behältnis für insbesondere fluide Nahrungen mit einem durch einen Deckel verschließbaren Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen, mit einem Boden mit einer Standfläche, auf der das Behältnis insbesondere im befüllten Zustand selbständig stehen kann, und mit einer außen am Behältnis angebrachten, dem Stutzen im wesentlichen gegenüberliegenden Aufhängevorrichtung.The invention relates to a stable collapsible container for particular fluid diets with a closable by a lid filling and discharge nozzle, with a bottom with a base on which the container can stand independently especially in the filled state, and attached to the outside of the container, the Neck substantially opposite suspension.

Personen und Patienten, die ihre Nahrung nicht auf normalem Wege zu sich nehmen können, sind darauf angewiesen, dass ihnen die erforderliche Nahrung auf anderem Wege zugeführt wird, beispielsweise in Form einer sogenannten enteralen Nahrung, die beispielsweise als Sondennahrung dem Körper zugeführt werden kann. Es handelt sich dabei üblicherweise um flüssige beziehungsweise fluide Nahrungen. Unter diesem Begriff "fluide Nahrungen" werden hier alle derartigen Nahrungen, beispielsweise Standardnahrungen, Spezialnahrungen, enterale Nahrungen, enterale Substrate sowie jegliche Flüssigkeiten, beispielsweise ergänzende Flüssigkeiten, verstanden.Individuals and patients who are unable to eat their food in the normal way depend on being supplied with the required food by other means, for example in the form of so-called enteral nutrition, which can be supplied to the body, for example, as a tube feed. These are usually liquid or fluid foods. This term "fluid foods" is understood here as meaning all such foods, for example standard foods, special foods, enteral foods, enteral substrates and any liquids, for example supplemental liquids.

Derartige Nahrungen können in einem Behälter aufgewahrt werden, aus dem diese Nahrungen im Bedarfsfalle entnommen und mit Hilfe eines sogenannten Überleitgerätes der nahrungsbedürftigen Person verabreicht werden. Dies kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe der Schwerkraftapplikation oder auch mit Hilfe von Ernährungspumpen erfolgen.Such foods can be stored in a container from which these foods are removed if necessary and administered with the help of a so-called Überleitgerätes the person in need of food. This can be done for example with the help of gravity application or with the help of nutritional pumps.

Zur Aufbewahrung und Verabreichung derartiger fluider Nahrungen sind bereits standfeste, kollabierbare Behälter bekannt. Bei einem derartigen bekannten Produkt handelt es sich beispielsweise um den sogenannten Flocare Container der Firma Pfrimmer Nutricia.Stable, collapsible containers are already known for storing and administering such fluid foods. Such a known product is, for example, the so-called Flocare container from Pfrimmer Nutricia.

Der Ausdruck "standfest" soll bei diesen Behältern beziehungsweise Behältnissen zum Ausdruck bringen, dass die Behältnisse im befüllten Zustand und im leeren, nicht kollabierten Zustand von alleine auf ihrer Bodenfläche selbsttätig stehen können.The term "stable" is intended to express in these containers or containers that the containers in the filled state and in the empty, not collapsed state of themselves can stand on their own floor surface.

Mit dem Merkmal "kollabierbar" wird zum Ausdruck gebracht, dass sich diese Behältnisse von selbst entleeren können und von ihrem Aufbau her derart konzipiert sind, dass sie bei Entnahme der darin enthaltenen fluiden Nahrung "von selbst zusammenfallen". Die Entleerung dieser kollabierbaren Behältnisse erfolgt somit ohne eine Belüftung von außen.The term "collapsible" expresses that these containers are self-draining and structurally designed to "self-collapse" upon removal of the fluid food contained therein. The emptying of collapsible containers thus takes place without ventilation from the outside.

Um eine fluide Nahrung aus einem derartigen Behältnis an eine Person oder einen Patienten zu verabreichen, wird das Behältnis üblicherweise kopfüber an einem Gestänge, bei dem es sich auch um ein mobiles Gestänge handeln kann, gehaltert. Dazu sind die bekannten Behältnisse mit einer Aufhängevorrichtung ausgestattet, mit der sie an das Gestänge angehängt werden können. Der Einfüllstutzen befindet sich der Aufhängevorrichtung gegenüberliegend angeordnet, so dass die fluide Nahrung aus dem Behältnis nach unten auslaufen kann. Der Einfüllstutzen stellt daher auch einen Auslaufstutzen dar. Dieser Auslaufstutzen kann auf beliebige Weise, worauf nachstehend noch näher eingegangen wird, mit einem Überleitgerät verbunden sein, bei dem es sich meistens um ein Schlauchsystem handelt, mittels dessen die fluide Nahrung zur Sonde etc. geleitet wird.To deliver a fluid food from such a container to a person or a patient, the container is usually held upside down on a linkage, which may also be a mobile linkage. For this purpose, the known containers are equipped with a suspension device with which they can be attached to the linkage. The filler neck is located opposite the hanger so that the fluid food may leak out of the container. The filler neck is therefore also an outlet nozzle. This outlet nozzle can be connected in any way, which will be discussed in more detail below, with a transfer device, which is usually a tube system, by means of which the fluid food to the probe, etc. is passed ,

Bei den bekannten Behältnissen ist die Aufhängevorrichtung entweder am Rand des Bodens oder an der Seite angebracht. Da der Einfüllstützen der Aufhängevorrichtung möglichst diametral gegenüberliegen sollte, damit der Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen möglichst am tiefsten Punkt im aufgehängten Zustand des Behältnisses angeordnet ist, ist dieser Stutzen dann an der gegenüberliegenden Ecke des bekannten Behältnisses angeordnet. Derartige bekannte Behältnisse lassen hinsichtlich ihrer Standfestigkeit und auch hinsichtlich ihrer Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu wünschen übrig.In the known containers, the suspension device is mounted either on the edge of the floor or on the side. Since the Einfüllstützen the hanger should be diametrically opposite as possible, so that the filling and outlet nozzle is located as possible at the lowest point in the suspended state of the container, this nozzle is then arranged at the opposite corner of the known container. Such known containers leave something to be desired in terms of their stability and also with regard to their possible applications.

Bekannte Behältnisse sind z.B. beschrieben in der WO 2005/032450 A1 und in der EP 0070641 A1 .Known containers are described for example in the WO 2005/032450 A1 and in the EP 0070641 A1 ,

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Behältnis der hier in Rede stehenden Art mit einer verbesserten Standfestigkeit bereitzustellen, das ferner mehrfach benutzbar ist.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a container of the type in question with an improved stability, which is also repeatedly usable.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Behältnis gemäß der Lehre des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a container according to the teaching of claim 1.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Behältnis ist die Aufhängevorrichtung somit außen am Boden angeordnet, und zwar in einem Bereich, der gegenüber der Auflageebene nach innen zurückversetzt ist. Diese Auflageebene wird durch die Standfläche des Behältnisses definiert, auf der das Behältnis auf einer Unterlage aufliegt. Die Aufhängevorrichtung ragt dabei nicht über die Auflageebene hinaus. Wird somit das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis auf eine Unterlage aufgesetzt, dann wird die Standfestigkeit dieses Behältnisses durch die Aufhängevorrichtung nicht beeinträchtigt. Gleichwohl ist es möglich, die Aufhängevorrichtung am Boden und somit so weit weg wie möglich vom Stutzen anzuordnen.In the container according to the invention, the suspension device is thus arranged on the outside of the floor, in a region which is set back in relation to the support plane inwards. This support level is defined by the footprint of the container on which the container rests on a base. The suspension does not protrude beyond the support plane. Thus, if the container according to the invention placed on a pad, then the stability of this container is not affected by the suspension. However, it is possible to arrange the suspension on the ground and thus as far away as possible from the nozzle.

Wenn hier davon die Rede ist, dass die Aufhängevorrichtung nicht über die Auflageebene hinausragt, dann bezieht sich dies auf den Funktionszustand dieser Aufhängevorrichtung. Mit anderen Worten, die Aufhängevorrichtung befindet sich in derjenigen Position bezüglich des Behältnisses, welche sie einnehmen würde, wenn das Behältnis daran aufgehängt ist. Sie ist somit nicht irgendwie weggebogen oder weggeschwenkt.If it is mentioned here that the suspension device does not protrude beyond the support plane, then this refers to the functional state of this suspension. In other words, the hanger is in the position relative to the container which it would occupy when the container is suspended therefrom. She is not bent away or moved away.

Es ist nun nicht erforderlich, dass der Boden des erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisses außerhalb des zurückversetzten Bereiches an jedem Punkt mit der Unterlage, auf der das Behältnis zu stehen kommen soll, in Kontakt sein muss. So ist es durchaus möglich, dass der Boden nur punktweise oder bereichsweise mit der Unterlage in Kontakt kommen kann. Die Standfläche wird dann durch diejenige Bereiche gebildet, welche auf der Unterlage aufliegen können. Die durch diese Bereiche und somit durch die Standfläche aufgespannte virtuelle Ebene wird erfindungsgemäß als Auflageebene bzw. Auflagefläche bezeichnet.It is now not necessary that the bottom of the container according to the invention outside the recessed area at each point with the pad on which the container is to come to be in contact must be. So it is quite possible that the soil can come into contact only pointwise or partially with the substrate. The base is then formed by those areas that can rest on the surface. The plane defined by these areas and thus by the footprint virtual plane is inventively referred to as a support plane or support surface.

An sich erstreckt sich eine Ebene beliebig in den Raum. Erfindungsgemäß wird als Auflageebene bzw. Auflagefläche nur derjenige Bereich bezeichnet, der von der Standfläche umgrenzt bzw. umschlossen wird.In itself, a plane extends arbitrarily into the room. According to the invention, only the region which is bounded or enclosed by the base surface is referred to as the support plane or support surface.

Dieser zurückversetzte Bereich des Bodens, welcher mit der Aufhängevorrichtung ausgestattet ist, befindet sich dabei im Wesentlichen mittig in der Auflageebene.This recessed area of the floor, which is equipped with the suspension device, is located substantially centrally in the support plane.

In diesem zurückversetzten Bereich ist die Aufhängevorrichtung angeordnet und ragt nicht über die Auflageebene des Bodens hinaus, so dass die Flasche sicher auf dem Boden zu stehen kommt.In this recessed area, the suspension device is arranged and does not protrude beyond the support plane of the floor, so that the bottle comes to rest securely on the floor.

Natürlich ist es auch möglich, dass dieser zurückversetzte Bereich in Aufsicht eine längliche Form besitzt und sich von einem Bodenrand zum anderen Bodenrand erstreckt und quasi eine Art Tal bildet.Of course, it is also possible that this set-back area has an elongated shape in plan view and extends from one bottom edge to the other bottom edge and forms a sort of valley.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis besitzt mindestens eine Symmetrieebene. Diese Symmetrieebene verläuft insbesondere durch den Stutzen.The container according to the invention has at least one plane of symmetry. This plane of symmetry extends in particular through the neck.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis besteht somit aus zwei gleichen Abschnitten, von denen einer ein Spiegelbild des anderen darstellt. Aufgrund dieser Symmetrie kann das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis leicht gereinigt werden und beispielsweise in einer Spülmaschine ohne Schwierigkeiten gespült werden. Daher ist das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis mehrfach benutzbar. Dieses bedeutet eine nicht unerhebliche Kostenersparnis.The container according to the invention thus consists of two equal sections, one of which represents a mirror image of the other. Because of this symmetry, the container according to the invention can be easily cleaned and, for example, rinsed in a dishwasher without difficulty. Therefore, the container according to the invention is reusable. This means a not inconsiderable cost savings.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis besitzt in etwa die Form einer flachgedrückten Flasche mit zwei parallel zueinander liegenden ebenen Seitenwänden. In diesem Fall stellt die Mittelebene, welche parallel zu diesen Seitenwänden mittig durch das Behältnis verläuft, eine derartige Symmetrieebene dar. Es ist im übrigen nicht erforderlich, dass die Seitenwände absolut eben sind. Vielmehr können auch diese Seitenwände leicht nach außen gewölbt sein.The container according to the invention has approximately the shape of a flattened bottle with two mutually parallel planar side walls. In this case, the center plane, which runs parallel to these side walls in the middle through the container, such a plane of symmetry. It is otherwise not necessary that the side walls are absolutely flat. Rather, these side walls can be slightly curved outward.

Wenn hier davon die Rede ist, dass das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis eine Symmetrie bezüglich einer Ebene besitzt, dann bezieht sich dies auf die wesentlichen Bestandteile und Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisses und somit nicht auf alle Details. So kann beispielsweise der Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen mit einem Außengewinde versehen sein, das natürlich bezüglich der oben beschriebenen Mittelebene nicht symmetrisch ist.If it is mentioned here that the container according to the invention has a symmetry with respect to a plane, then this refers to the essential components and embodiments of the container according to the invention and thus not to all the details. Thus, for example, the filling and discharge nozzle can be provided with an external thread, which is of course not symmetrical with respect to the center plane described above.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform besitzt das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis zwei im Wesentlichen gleich ausgebildete Bodenabschnitte, welche die Standfläche bilden. Der zurückversetzte Bereich des Bodens ist dann zwischen diesen Bodenabschnitten angeordnet.According to a further preferred embodiment, the container according to the invention has two substantially identically formed bottom sections, which form the footprint. The recessed area of the floor is then arranged between these floor sections.

Die Aufhängevorrichtung kann im Prinzip beliebig ausgestaltet sein, sofern es mit ihrer Hilfe möglich ist, das Behältnis "kopfüber" an einem Haken oder ähnliches und insbesondere an einem in Krankenhäusern üblichen Gestell für die Verabreichung von Infusionen etc. anhängen zu können.The suspension can be configured in principle arbitrary, if it is possible with their help to be able to attach the container "upside down" on a hook or the like, and in particular on a hospital usual rack for the administration of infusions, etc.

Bei dieser Aufhängevorrichtung handelt es sich um eine Lasche. Die Aufhängevorrichtung ist weiterhin flach und blättchenartig ausgestaltet. So ist es möglich, die Aufhängevorrichtung in Form eines Hakens und insbesondere eines flachgedrückten Hakens vorzusehen. Weiterhin bevorzugt besitzt die Aufhängevorrichtung jedoch eine geschlossene Bohrung und somit ein Loch.This suspension is a tab. The suspension device is further configured flat and flake-like. Thus, it is possible to provide the suspension device in the form of a hook and in particular a flattened hook. Further preferably, however, the suspension device has a closed bore and thus a hole.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis kann aus jedem bisher bekannten Material, welches für die Herstellung von kollabierbaren Containern beziehungsweise Behältern der hier in Rede stehenden Art verwendet wurden, hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei diesem Material um Polyethylen.The container according to the invention can be made of any previously known material which has been used for the production of collapsible containers or containers of the type in question here. Preferably, this material is polyethylene.

Weiterhin bevorzugt ist die Aufhängevorrichtung mit dem Behältnis oder einem Teil davon einstückig, insbesondere einstückig spritzgeformt.Further preferably, the suspension device is integral with the container or a part thereof, in particular injection-molded in one piece.

Da die Aufhängevorrichtung nicht über die Auflageebene hinaus erstreckt, ist auch nicht erforderlich, die Aufhängevorrichtung wegzuschwenken oder zur Seite zu biegen oder zu schwenken, damit das Behältnis einen sicheren Stand hat. Die Aufhängevorrichtung kann somit auf einfache Weise zusammen mit dem Behältnis hergestellt werden. Es ist beispielsweise nicht erforderlich, die Aufhängevorrichtung über ein Scharnier mit dem Behältnis zu verbindenAlso, since the hanger does not extend beyond the support plane, it is not necessary to pivot the hanger or bend or pivot to the side so that the container has a secure footing. The suspension device can thus be produced in a simple manner together with the container. For example, it is not necessary to connect the suspension device to the container via a hinge

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis weist vorzugsweise mindestens eine Mengenskalierung auf, damit man von außen die sich im Behältnis befindende Menge an fluider Nahrung ablesen kann. Um dies zu ermöglichen, wird das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis vorzugsweise aus einem durchsichtigen Material gefertigt.The container according to the invention preferably has at least a quantity scaling, so that you can read from the outside located in the container amount of fluid food. In order to make this possible, the container according to the invention is preferably made of a transparent material.

Wie bereits oben dargelegt, wird das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis kopfüber aufgehängt. Der Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen befindet sich dann unten und quasi am tiefsten Punkt. Der mit diesem Stutzen zusammenwirkende Deckel ist vorzugsweise mit einem Anschluss für ein Überleitgerät versehen, so dass die fluide Nahrung aus dem erfindungsgemäßen Behältnis ausfließen und mittels des Überleitgerätes an die Person beziehungsweise den Patienten verabreicht werden kann.As already stated above, the container according to the invention is suspended upside down. The filling and discharge pipe is then below and virtually at the lowest point. The cooperating with this nozzle cover is preferably provided with a connection for a transfer device, so that the fluid food flow out of the container according to the invention and can be administered by means of the transfer device to the person or the patient.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der beiliegenden, skizzenhaften und nicht maßstabsgetreuen Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In diesen Zeichnungen zeigen.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the enclosed, sketchy and not to scale drawings. In these drawings show.
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
a supervision of that in the Fig. 1 shown container towards a flat side wall, and
Fig. 3
a supervision of that in the Fig. 1 shown container in the direction of a narrow, curved side wall.

Das in der Fig. 1 gezeigte Behältnis 1 besitzt die Form einer flachgedrückten Flasche mit zwei parallel einander gegenüberliegenden ebenen Seitenwänden 2,3 und zwei gebogenen beziehungsweise runden, schmäleren Seitenwänden 4,4'.That in the Fig. 1 shown container 1 has the shape of a flattened bottle with two parallel opposite side walls 2,3 and two curved or round, narrower side walls 4,4 '.

Das Behältnis 1 ist oben mit einem Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen 5 versehen, der mit einem Außengewinde 6 versehen ist, das mit dem entsprechenden Innengewinde eines nicht gezeigten Deckels zusammenwirken kann. Dieser Einfüll- und Auslaufstutzen 5 wird nachstehend nur noch Stutzen 5 genannt. Dem Stutzen 5 gegenüberliegend befindet sich der Boden 7 des Behältnisses 1, der in drei Bereiche unterteilt ist. So besitzt dieser Boden 7 zwei im Wesentlichen gleich ausgebildete, die Standfläche bildende Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 und einen dazwischenliegenden, zurückversetzten Bereich 10.The container 1 is provided at the top with a filling and discharge nozzle 5, which is provided with an external thread 6, which can cooperate with the corresponding internal thread of a cover, not shown. This filling and discharge nozzle 5 is hereinafter referred to only 5 stubs. The nozzle 5 is opposite the bottom 7 of the container 1, which is divided into three areas. Thus, this bottom 7 has two substantially identically formed, the base surface forming bottom portions 8 and 9 and an intermediate, recessed area 10th

Wird das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis auf eine Unterlage gestellt, dann kommt es auf den die Standfläche bildenden Bodenabschnitten 8 und 9 zu stehen. Wie aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, sind diese Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 nicht plan und liegen somit nicht vollflächig auf der Unterlagen auf. Vielmehr sind diese Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 leicht geneigt, und zwar ausgehend von ihren an der Seitenwände 2,3 befindlichen Rändern zur Mitte und zum Innenraum des Behältnisses 1 hin. Durch diese Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9, genauer durch deren Ränder, welche auf eine Unterlage aufliegen können und damit in Kontakt kommen können, wird eine Auflageebene 11 definiert, die auch als Auflagefläche bezeichnet werden kann. Natürlich ist es auch möglich, die Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 im wesentlichen plan auszugestalten, so dass sie vollflächig aufliegen. Auch andere Ausführungsformen sind möglich.If the container according to the invention is placed on a base, then it is important to stand on the floor surface forming the bottom sections 8 and 9. Like from the Fig. 3 it can be seen, these floor sections 8 and 9 are not flat and thus are not on the entire surface of the documents. Rather, these bottom sections 8 and 9 are slightly inclined, starting from their located on the side walls 2.3 edges to the center and the interior of the container 1 out. Through these bottom sections 8 and 9, more precisely through their edges, which can rest on a pad and thus come into contact is defines a support plane 11, which may also be referred to as a support surface. Of course, it is also possible to design the floor sections 8 and 9 essentially flat, so that they rest over the entire surface. Other embodiments are possible.

Zwischen diesen Bodenabschnitten 8 und 9 befindet sich der zurückversetzte Bereich 10, der quasi in den Innenraum des Behältnisses 1 hineinragt. Dieser zurückversetzte Bereich 10 bildet eine Art U-förmige Rinne, an deren Boden die Aufhängevorrichtung 12 angebracht ist. Diese Aufhängevorrichtung 12 erstreckt sich von der äußeren Mantelfläche des Bereiches 10 und somit vom Boden der U-förmigen Rinne in Richtung der Auflageebene 11, ragt jedoch nicht über diese hinaus. Dadurch ist es möglich, das Behältnis 1 auf die Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 zu stellen und beispielsweise zu befüllen, ohne dass dies durch die Aufhängevorrichtung 12 behindert wird. Bedingt dadurch, dass die Bodenabschnitte 8 und 9 voneinander beabstandet sind und der zurückversetzte Bereich 10 dazwischen liegt, ergibt sich eine großflächige Auflageebene und damit ein sicherer Stand für das auf einer Unterlage stehende Behältnis 1.Between these bottom portions 8 and 9 is the recessed portion 10, which protrudes quasi into the interior of the container 1. This recessed area 10 forms a kind of U-shaped channel, at the bottom of the suspension device 12 is attached. This suspension device 12 extends from the outer surface of the region 10 and thus from the bottom of the U-shaped groove in the direction of the support plane 11, but does not protrude beyond this. This makes it possible to provide the container 1 on the bottom sections 8 and 9 and to fill, for example, without this being hindered by the suspension device 12. Due to the fact that the bottom sections 8 and 9 are spaced apart from each other and the set-back region 10 is located therebetween, a large contact surface and thus a secure position for the container 1 standing on a support results.

Die Aufhängevorrichtung 12 stellt eine flache und blättchenartig ausgestaltete Lasche mit einer geschlossenen Bohrung 13 dar.The suspension device 12 is a flat and flake-like designed flap with a closed bore 13.

Das Behältnis 1 besitzt eine Symmetrieebene, nämlich die Mittelebene 14, die parallel zu den ebenen Seitenwänden 3 sowie mittig dazu verläuft. Die Ebene der flachen, blättchenartigen Lasche 12 liegt in dieser Mittelebene 14.The container 1 has a plane of symmetry, namely the median plane 14, which runs parallel to the planar side walls 3 and centrally thereto. The plane of the flat, leaflet-like tab 12 lies in this median plane 14.

Das in den Figuren gezeigte Behältnis 1 besitzt im übrigen noch weitere Symmetrieebenen. Eine derartige weitere Symmetrieebene läuft senkrecht zu der Mittelebene 14 und erstreckt sich ebenfalls durch den Stutzen 5. Diese weitere Symmetrieebene ist in der Fig. 2 mit dem Bezugszeichen 16 versehen.The container 1 shown in the figures also has other planes of symmetry. Such a further plane of symmetry runs perpendicular to the center plane 14 and also extends through the neck 5. This further plane of symmetry is in the Fig. 2 provided with the reference numeral 16.

Wenn im Rahmen der vorliegenden Unterlagen bezüglich des Behältnisses 1 von oben und unten gesprochen wird, dann bezieht sich das auf diejenige Position, in der das Behältnis 1 auf dem Boden 7 auf einer Unterlage aufliegt. Die Aufhängevorrichtung 12 befindet sich dann unten, während sich der Stutzen 5, der der Aufhängevorrichtung 2 diametral gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist, dann oben befindet.If spoken in the context of the present document with respect to the container 1 from above and below, then this refers to the position in which the container 1 rests on the floor 7 on a base. The suspension device 12 is then down, while the nozzle 5, which is arranged diametrically opposite the suspension device 2, then up.

Zum Verabreichen der in dem Behältnis 1 befindlichen fluiden Nahrung wird das Behältnis 1 an der Aufhängevorrichtung 12 auf geeignete Art und Weise aufgehängt und somit kopfüber angeordnet.For administering the fluid food in the container 1, the container 1 is hung on the suspension device 12 in a suitable manner and thus arranged upside down.

Bedingt dadurch, dass das Behältnis 1 symmetrisch zur Mittelebene 14 ausgestaltet ist, kann das erfindungsgemäß Behältnis schnell und einfach gereinigt werden, indem es beispielsweise in einer Spülmaschine gewaschen wird. Dies ermöglicht es, das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis mehrfach zu benutzen und damit Kosten zu sparen.Due to the fact that the container 1 is designed symmetrically to the center plane 14, the container according to the invention can be cleaned quickly and easily, for example, by being washed in a dishwasher. This makes it possible to use the container according to the invention multiple times and thus to save costs.

Da das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis 1 zudem selbständig auf einer Unterlage stehen kann, wird dadurch das Handling, beispielsweise das Aufbewahren und Befüllen, erleichtert, was ebenfalls zu einer Kostenersparnis führt.In addition, since the container 1 according to the invention can stand independently on a base, the handling, for example the storage and filling, is facilitated, which likewise leads to a cost saving.

Das Behältnis 1 ist mit mehreren Mengenskalierungen 15, 17 versehen, mit deren Hilfe die Menge bzw. das Volumen der im Behältnis 1 vorhandenen fluiden Nahrung von außen visuell abgelesen werden kann. Bei der Mengenskalierung 15 handelt es sich dabei um eine Auslaufskalierung 15, mittels der abgelesen werden kann, wie groß das im umgedrehten Zustand bzw. im aufgehängten Zustand im Behältnis 1 noch vorhandene Volumen an fluider Nahrung ist, wobei diese Auslaufskalierung 15 derart angebracht wird und berücksichtigt, dass das Behältnis 1 beim Auslaufen der darin befindlichen Nahrung kollabiert und somit zusammenfällt.The container 1 is provided with a plurality of Mengenskalierungen 15, 17, by means of which the amount or volume of existing in the container 1 fluid food can be read visually from the outside. The quantity scale 15 is an outlet scale 15, by means of which it is possible to read the size of the volume of fluid food remaining in the container 1 in the inverted state or in the suspended state, wherein this outlet scale 15 is mounted and considered in that the container 1 collapses during the leakage of the food contained therein and thus coincides.

Die Einlaufskalierung 17 zeigt das in das Behältnis 1 eingefüllte Volumen an, wenn das Behältnis 1 "normal" steht (Stutzen 5 befindet sich oben) und davon ausgegangen wird, dass sich das Behältnis 1 im nicht kollabierten Zustand befindet und somit sein zur Verfügung stehendes Innenvolumen besitzt.The inlet scale 17 indicates the volume filled in the container 1 when the container 1 is "normal" (nozzle 5 is at the top) and it is assumed that the container 1 is in the non-collapsed state and thus its available internal volume has.
