Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spout made of plastic for film bag according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Container in particular for liquid consumer goods are in the course of development to material-saving and cost-effective packaging increasingly designed as a film bag with a spout for easy and unproblematic opening and, preferably with a Screw thread and a screw cap provided, designed to reclosure.
  • a foil bag can be easily produced by conventional means as a flat bag, bottom fold bag or gusset bag in conventional technology. The introduction of a spout in such a bag, however, presents difficulties.
  • Pourers which are provided for sealing or shrink-wrapping in a foil bag with a (weld), usually receive in the nozzle area a lanzettliche or ship-shaped basic shape, the side walls converge towards two end regions, so that two opposite film edges of the bag, the otherwise flat lying on one another, the nozzle can accommodate between them and with the side walls of the nozzle, which form sealing surfaces on the outside, are uniform and wrinkle-free to seal or to weld.
  • the side walls are in contact with the sealing jaws with different pressure, which in particular also results from the different compliance in the course of the side surfaces.
  • This is often given by the fact that curved surface areas have a greater stiffening than flat surface areas that inner supports achieve localized stiffeners.
  • spouts are preferably formed with wall thicknesses of about 1.0 mm or less, so relatively thin, which is both the general goal of a material savings as well as a rapid workflow in injection molding as well as an adaptation to the thin and flexible film of the film bag corresponds, on the other hand, a bulky, rigid and heavy spout in the handling in the course of manufacturing, shipping and use would cause special stress.
  • the object of the invention is hereafter, to provide a spout that allows even with progressive development to low wall thicknesses and using uniform and uniform sealing jaws to achieve a uniform pressure between sealing tool, film edges and side walls of the nozzle and thus a more reliable and uniform seal or welding achieved the nozzle with the adjacent foil edges.
  • this object is achieved by a spout according to the preamble of claim 1, starting by the characterizing features of claim 1. It has been shown that the basic structure of the nozzle by itself brings different surface stiffness at the sealing surfaces with it, since the edges of the sealing surfaces are stiffened on the side towards the spout through the spout and through adjacent covering and connecting surfaces, while the opposite, open-ended edges are more yielding. Of course, this applies the more, the further the wall thicknesses of the side walls are reduced. This is counteracted by the fact that the walls are formed unevenly strong and have an increased wall thickness towards the open edges.
  • This change in wall thickness can in principle be uneven, for example in stages or with a bead. In the sense of a uniform stiffening and also in terms of a comfortable releasability, a steady increase in the wall thickness towards the edge will generally be preferred.
  • the increased wall thickness towards the edges is also suitable for counteracting the deformation of the nozzle as a result of high material shrinkage of the plastic material after injection molding.
  • Spouts of this type can be provided with wall thicknesses between 0.3 and 2.0 mm, unless higher wall thicknesses for firmly screwing on screw caps and the like are to be provided in the spout area.
  • the increase in the wall thickness towards the open edges can be limited to a small amount of 0.02 to 0.5 mm, but nevertheless provides the desired stiffness compensation for the edge regions.
  • the opposite sealing surfaces of the side walls to the open edges of the walls slightly apart.
  • the thus spread apart walls then provide compared to conventional, largely parallel aligned sealing jaws stronger during sealing deformed lower edge areas, which are then seal despite greater flexibility of the edge areas with the same pressure as the edge lying towards the spout, resulting in a homogenization of the sealing process serves.
  • a designated in the drawing with a total of 1 spout is divided functionally into a spout 2 and a nozzle 3, wherein the spout 2 is reclosable as ffertülle for receiving a screw cap with a circular cylindrical passage opening 4, threads 5, a collar 6 with 7 stops for the screw cap and a collar part 8 provided with open, prismatic chambers, in particular for machine handling during filling and closing and for hanging storage in sales stands.
  • These areas of the spout are basically known type and largely determined by sales-side specifications.
  • the neck 3 represents an extremely important and critical component.
  • the neck 3 has a lanzettliche basic shape or "Schiffchen" shape apparent in particular from FIGS. 2 and 5, in the two side walls 9, 10 in a central region between a free interior according to the spout interior 4 left free and to two opposite end portions 11, 12 - in the present case approximately straight - converge and there with sequels in the form of thin end flags 13, 14 lead.
  • the side walls 9, 10 are in a central region by a ring neck 15 of the spout and the two end regions 11, 12 towards the tulle side by cover walls 16, 17 at longitudinal edges 18, 19 connected and stiffened, while the spout 2 remote edges 20, 21st open the neck 3 open.
  • the side walls 9, 10 of the spout have received a non-uniform, to the open edges 20, 21 towards increasing wall thickness, with respect to the rigidity in the sealing process a compensation for the support of the side walls 9, 10th is created by the top walls 16, 17 in the region of the upper edges 18, 19.
  • the side walls are slightly exposed to the open edges, ie, spread apart from each other.
  • the sealing surfaces when placing sealing jaws which extend in the direction of a longitudinal central axis 24 (Fig. 8) parallel to this central axis, a pre-spread and thus a bias receive that equip the inherently weaker edge areas with an adapted pressure .
  • the side walls 9, 10 thus receive on the outside a conicity, which also noticeably reflected in that the end lugs 13, 14 have attachment lines 25, 26, the Diverge towards the open edges of the side walls 9, 10 - as can be seen for example from Fig. 1, 2 and 3.
  • the spout thus created is expediently made of an injection-moldable and sealable plastic material.
  • a PE material comes into consideration here in adaptation to common bags made of polyethylene.
  • other weldable or sealable plastic materials such as e.g. Polypropylene can be used both for the spouts and for the bags.
