Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for storing and dosing a plurality of components which are to be mixed together or used immediately before use.
- Such packages are used for example for storage of the individual components of a multi-component adhesive.
- Another application is found in the food industry or for the packaging of medical preparations. All these packages have in common that the individual components are stored until consumption in separate containers that are lockable. In particular, such packages are blister packs.
- Blister packs for liquid and powdered ingredients consist of a deeply pressed foil (deep-forming foil) and a sealing foil, which seals off the ingredient.
- some components may or may be required to be packaged separately, but then used together at the same time. It is thus characteristic of these types of packages that they consist of at least two blister packs which can be connected together in a suitable manner.
- double blister packs known in which two components are stored side by side. These double blister packs consist of a deep-forming foil with two adjacent profiled bulges. In each of the bulges a component is entered. The components are sealed with a sealing film so that the components can be stored in their bulges without the risk of leakage. In use, the components are squeezed one after the other. Alternatively, the adjacent lobes over a predetermined bending edge folded over each other and squeezed together.
- a multi-component film container is from the DE 20 2005 001 203 U1 as well as from the WO2006079413 known.
- the multi-component film container has a lower half shell and an upper half shell, which is made of a dimensionally stable plastic film by deep drawing or thermoforming.
- the two half shells are connected by welding or gluing firmly together.
- Each of the half-shells contains a storage area for receiving a respective component in a chamber provided for this purpose. Adjacent chambers for different components are separated by a release film.
- the chambers in the half-shells are arranged one above the other. The chambers open on one side into a mixing area that is separated from the chambers, so that each component is kept tight while it is stored.
- Double blister packs 1 There are double blister packs 1 according Fig. 1 known in which two components are stored side by side.
- the double blister pack 1 is in Fig. 1 at the top in a view from above.
- Right next to it is a view from the front. In this case, only the storage area 2 and the outlet channel 7 are visible, the storage area 3, and the outlet channel 9 are hidden.
- Fig. 2 is designated.
- Fig. 2 also includes the section AA, which includes the interior of the filled with the first and second components storage areas (2,3).
- the 2 consists of a deep-forming film 6 with two adjacent deep-shaped bulges (4,8).
- the deep-shaped bulges (4,8) each form a storage area (2,3) and serve to receive a component.
- a cover 5 is provided to enclose the component in its associated storage area.
- This cover 5 is formed in particular as a sealing film.
- the component is enclosed with a sealing foil in the storage area (2,3), so that the component in the bulge (4,8). can be stored tightly against environmental influences.
- the components are squeezed one after the other.
- the two protrusions (4,8) are folded over a predetermined bending edge and pressed together, as in Fig. 3 will be shown.
- a pressing pressure on the bulges (4,8) is applied after a connection of the bulge has been created with the environment. Suitable means for preparing such a compound are in the WO2006 / 079413 disclosed.
- Fig. 3 shows the variant also known from the prior art, to bring adjacent storage areas (2,3), which are filled with different components, in an opposite position.
- the symmetry axis 18 of the device 1 is used as a bending edge.
- the right part of the Fig. 3 shows the process of folding over the two halves of the device 1.
- the two exit channels 7 and 9 come here as well as the bulges (4, 8) to lie one above the other, so that on both lobes together a pressing pressure can be applied.
- This arrangement has the advantage that both components are pressed out at the same time.
- the volumes of the two bulges (2, 3) are at least approximately the same size so that the pressing pressure is applied as evenly as possible.
- the arrangement according to Fig. 3 thus has limited scope to squeeze different volumes and / or components with highly distinctive flow properties.
- the object of the invention is to provide for said device an improvement, with the aim of producing a simple and inexpensive device with superimposed sealed storage areas for flowable components, wherein the connection of the two devices is insoluble, as long as the device is not in use.
- This has the advantage that the storage areas are securely stored together until use. This eliminates the possibility of mistakenly combining storage areas with the same components.
- An example of such mismanagement would be the assembly of two storage areas, both containing only the hardener component of a two-component adhesive. If such a device were used, the two-component adhesive would not solidify because the binding component is missing. The necessary chemical reaction between hardener component and binding component would fail, so that no adhesive bond is made.
- all components should be stored in separate storage areas already during production of the device, wherein the storage areas remain together by a permanent connection, at least for the duration of storage.
- the two components must be consumed together. It can be formed a common outlet channel for the components.
- the two components can be expressed simultaneously and in a defined amount by simply pressing them by hand or with a simple auxiliary device. If the two components are adhesive components which must be mixed in a given proportion, the exact dosage is of particular importance.
- a mixing element is additionally inserted into a discharge channel formed in the packaging, as is shown in the US Pat WO 2006/079413 was shown, so is an insoluble tight and pressure resistant connection of the two storage areas inevitable. Due to the large number of deflection elements, the mixing element has a high pressure loss, so that a relatively high extrusion pressure is required. Against this extrusion pressure, the storage areas, as well as the connecting channels to the mixing elements and the channel in which the mixing element is added, must be resistant.
- the device for storing a plurality of components, which are intended for common consumption.
- the device comprises a first storage area for receiving a first component and a second storage area for receiving a second component, wherein the storage areas are arranged substantially one above the other.
- Each storage area includes a bulge that is tightly closed with its own cover.
- the cover is sealable with the bulge to form a seam and the storage areas are connectable outside the seam by a connecting means, which is a welded connection.
- thermoforming films which in particular contain polypropylene or polyethylene, are welded together by compressing two opposing heated dies of a welding tool.
- multilayer films such. Aluminum composite films are used, in which the surface to be welded consists of a good weldable plastic.
- a cover for a plurality of bulges is provided or alternatively one Cover provided per bulge.
- the selection of one of these embodiments is on the one hand due to the chemical and physical properties of the components. For particularly reactive components, it may be necessary, for example, to provide a special covering and / or lining of the storage area. Producing overlying bulges of different volumes may also require each component to have its own cover. Further, the manufacturing process may require that the step of filling the protrusions be sequential. This means that first the bulges must be filled with a first component and immediately closed. Only after reaching the desired batch size, the bulges are filled with the second component.
- At least one outlet channel is provided, through which the components are pressed as a result of the action of a pressing pressure from the storage areas forming the bulges.
- a discharge tube is provided downstream of the outlet channel, which may contain a mixing element.
- an opening means is provided to open the storage areas immediately before use.
- Such an opening means may be formed on the one hand as a release agent.

- the opening means may release an exit channel by widening a slot without having to cut through material of the cover or foils.
- Such an opening means is formed for example as a wedge.
- Another category of opening means comprises means for releasing the compound of the films by kinking movements in the area of the still closed Outlet channel. By moving the discharge tube against the bulges, buckling occurs in the region of the discharge channel which prevents the components from escaping into the discharge tube. By acting on the outlet channel bending movement thus a channel is released, through which the associated component can flow, after the opening means has been actuated.
- the device according to one of the preceding embodiments is particularly suitable for multi-component adhesives.
- the components can be mixed in a mixing element.
- An opening means may be provided for each of the embodiments described above to open the storage areas immediately before use.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung und Dosierung einer Mehrzahl von Komponenten, die unmittelbar vor Gebrauch miteinander vermischt oder angewendet werden sollen. Derartige Verpackungen werden beispielsweise zur Lagerung der einzelnen Komponenten eines Mehrkomponentenklebstoffs verwendet. Eine weitere Anwendung finden sie in der Lebensmittelindustrie oder zur Verpackung von medizinischen Präparaten. Allen diesen Verpackungen ist gemein, dass die einzelnen Komponenten bis zum Verbrauch in getrennten Behältern, die verschliessbar sind, gelagert werden. Insbesondere handelt es sich bei derartigen Verpackungen um Blisterverpackungen. Blisterverpackungen für flüssige und pulverförmige Inhaltsstoffe bestehen aus einer tiefgedrückten Folie (Tiefformfolie) und einer Siegelfolie, welche den Inhaltsstoff abschliesst.The invention relates to a device for storing and dosing a plurality of components which are to be mixed together or used immediately before use. Such packages are used for example for storage of the individual components of a multi-component adhesive. Another application is found in the food industry or for the packaging of medical preparations. All these packages have in common that the individual components are stored until consumption in separate containers that are lockable. In particular, such packages are blister packs. Blister packs for liquid and powdered ingredients consist of a deeply pressed foil (deep-forming foil) and a sealing foil, which seals off the ingredient.
Bei einigen Nahrungsmitteln, Kosmetika, Pharmaprodukte oder Klebstoffen müssen oder sollen teilweise mehrere Komponenten separat verpackt werden, die dann aber zusammen zur gleichen Zeit verwendet werden. Für diese Art von Verpackungen ist somit charakteristisch, dass sie aus mindestens zwei Blisterverpackungen bestehen, die in einer geeigneten Weise miteinander verbindbar sind. Es sind sogenannte Doppelblisterverpackungen bekannt, bei denen zwei Komponenten nebeneinander gelagert werden. Diese Doppelblisterverpackungen bestehen aus einer Tiefformfolie mit zwei nebeneinander liegenden tiefgeformten Ausbuchtungen. In jede der Ausbuchtungen wird eine Komponente eingetragen. Die Komponenten werden mit einer Siegelfolie verschlossen, sodass die Komponenten in ihren Ausbuchtungen gelagert werden können, ohne dass die Gefahr einer Leckage besteht. Bei Gebrauch werden die Komponenten nacheinander ausgepresst. Alternativ dazu werden die nebeneinander liegenden Ausbuchtungen über eine vorgegebene Biegekante übereinander gefaltet und zusammen ausgepresst. In diesem Fall kommen die beiden Ausbuchtungen übereinander zu liegen und der Auspressvorgang kann exakt gleichzeitig für alle Komponenten erfolgen. Die vorhin genannten Verpackungen sind zwar einfach herstellbar, haben aber den Nachteil, dass dem Benutzer die richtige Anwendung erklärt werden muss und auch die Möglichkeit von Fehlmanipulationen besteht. Zudem ist eine Lösung mit einem gemeinsamen Auslasskanal oder einem integriertem Mischer in dieser Form nicht realisierbar weil entweder konstruktiv kein gemeinsamer Auslasskanal vorgesehen werden kann oder ein separater Verschlussmechanismus vorgesehen werden muss, der bei Lagerung einen Austritt der Komponenten aus ihren zugehörigen Ausbuchtungen verhindert. Ein derartiger Verschlussmechanismus wäre erst bei Gebrauch zu lösen, um einen Austritt der Komponenten in einen gemeinsamen Auslasskanal zu ermöglichen.For some foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or adhesives, some components may or may be required to be packaged separately, but then used together at the same time. It is thus characteristic of these types of packages that they consist of at least two blister packs which can be connected together in a suitable manner. There are so-called double blister packs known in which two components are stored side by side. These double blister packs consist of a deep-forming foil with two adjacent profiled bulges. In each of the bulges a component is entered. The components are sealed with a sealing film so that the components can be stored in their bulges without the risk of leakage. In use, the components are squeezed one after the other. Alternatively, the adjacent lobes over a predetermined bending edge folded over each other and squeezed together. In this case, the two bulges come to rest on top of each other and the Auspressvorgang can be done exactly at the same time for all components. Although the above-mentioned packaging are easy to produce, but have the disadvantage that the user must be declared the correct application and also the possibility of mis-manipulation exists. In addition, a solution with a common outlet channel or an integrated mixer in this form is not feasible because either constructively no common outlet channel can be provided or a separate closure mechanism must be provided, which prevents a leakage of the components from their associated bulges during storage. Such a closure mechanism would be solved only in use to allow exit of the components in a common outlet channel.

Diese Verpackung ist zwar einfach herstellbar, hat aber den Nachteil, dass die richtige Anwendung erklärt werden muss und auch die Möglichkeit von Fehlmanipulationen besteht. Zudem ist eine Lösung mit einem gemeinsamen Auslasskanal oder einem integrierten Mischelement nicht realisierbar.Although this package is easy to produce, but has the disadvantage that the correct application must be explained and there is also the possibility of incorrect manipulation. In addition, a solution with a common outlet channel or an integrated mixing element is not feasible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, zur genannten Vorrichtung eine Verbesserung zu schaffen, mit dem Ziel, eine einfache und kostengünstige Vorrichtung mit aufeinanderliegenden versiegelten Vorratsbereichen für fliessfähige Komponenten herzustellen, wobei die Verbindung der beiden Vorrichtungen unlösbar ist, solange die Vorrichtung nicht in Gebrauch ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Vorratsbereiche sicher bis zur Anwendung gemeinsam gelagert werden. Hiermit werden Fehler ausgeschlossen, versehentlich Vorratsbereiche mit denselben Komponenten zu kombinieren. Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Fehlmanipulation wäre die Zusammenfügung von zwei Vorratsbereichen, die beide nur die Härterkomponente eines Zweikomponentenklebers enthalten. Würde eine derartige Vorrichtung verwendet werden, würde der Zweikomponentenkleber sich nicht verfestigen, da die bindende Komponente fehlt. Die notwendige chemische Reaktion zwischen Härterkomponente und bindender Komponente würde ausbleiben, sodass keine Klebeverbindung zustande kommt. Daher sollten bereits bei Herstellung der Vorrichtung alle Komponenten in getrennten Vorratsbereichen gelagert werden, wobei die Vorratsbereiche durch eine unlösbare Verbindung zumindest für die Dauer der Lagerung zusammenbleiben. Somit ist es offensichtlich, dass die beiden Komponenten gemeinsam verbraucht werden müssen. Es kann ein gemeinsamer Austrittskanal für die Komponenten angeformt werden. Zudem können die beiden Komponenten durch einfaches Drücken mit der Hand oder mit einem einfachen Hilfsgerät gleichzeitig und in definierter Menge ausgedrückt werden. Wenn es sich bei den beiden Komponenten um Klebstoffkomponenten handelt, die in einem vorgegebenen Mengenverhältnis gemischt werden müssen, hat die genaue Dosierung besondere Bedeutung.The object of the invention is to provide for said device an improvement, with the aim of producing a simple and inexpensive device with superimposed sealed storage areas for flowable components, wherein the connection of the two devices is insoluble, as long as the device is not in use. This has the advantage that the storage areas are securely stored together until use. This eliminates the possibility of mistakenly combining storage areas with the same components. An example of such mismanagement would be the assembly of two storage areas, both containing only the hardener component of a two-component adhesive. If such a device were used, the two-component adhesive would not solidify because the binding component is missing. The necessary chemical reaction between hardener component and binding component would fail, so that no adhesive bond is made. Therefore, all components should be stored in separate storage areas already during production of the device, wherein the storage areas remain together by a permanent connection, at least for the duration of storage. Thus, it is obvious that the two components must be consumed together. It can be formed a common outlet channel for the components. In addition, the two components can be expressed simultaneously and in a defined amount by simply pressing them by hand or with a simple auxiliary device. If the two components are adhesive components which must be mixed in a given proportion, the exact dosage is of particular importance.
Wird in einen der Verpackung angeformten Austrittskanal zusätzlich noch ein Mischelement eingelegt, wie es in der
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Vorrichtung zur Lagerung einer Mehrzahl von Komponenten, die zum gemeinsamen Verbrauch bestimmt sind, gelöst. Die Vorrichtung umfasst einen ersten Vorratsbereich zur Aufnahme einer ersten Komponente und einen zweiten Vorratsbereich zur Aufnahme einer zweiten Komponente, wobei die Vorratsbereiche im wesentlichen übereinander angeordnet sind. Jeder Vorratsbereich umfasst eine Ausbuchtung, die mit einer eigenen Abdeckung dicht verschliessbar ist. Die Abdeckung ist mit der Ausbuchtung unter Ausbildung einer Naht versiegelbar und die Vorratsbereiche sind ausserhalb der Naht durch ein Verbindungsmittel verbindbar, wobei es sich um eine Schweissverbindung handelt. Die aus dem gleichen Material bestehenden Folien, die insbesondere als Tiefformfolien ausgestaltet sind, können bevorzugt durch thermisches Schweissen, Ultraschallschweissen oder Laserschweissen unlösbar und dicht verbunden werden. Als besonders einfaches und sicheres Verfahren hat sich das thermische Schweissen herausgestellt. Hierzu werden gut schweissbare Tiefziehfolien, die insbesondere Polypropylen oder Polyethylen enthalten, durch das Zusammenpressen von zwei gegenüberliegenden beheizten Stempeln eines Schweisswerkzeugs zusammengeschweisst. Um die chemischen oder physikalischen Eigenschaften, wie z.B. Chemikalienbeständigkeit zu verbessern, können auch Mehrschichtfolien wie z.B. Aluminiumverbundfolien eingesetzt werden, bei denen die zu verschweissende Oberfläche aus einem gut verschweissbaren Kunststoff besteht.This object is achieved by the device for storing a plurality of components, which are intended for common consumption. The device comprises a first storage area for receiving a first component and a second storage area for receiving a second component, wherein the storage areas are arranged substantially one above the other. Each storage area includes a bulge that is tightly closed with its own cover. The cover is sealable with the bulge to form a seam and the storage areas are connectable outside the seam by a connecting means, which is a welded connection. The existing of the same material films, which are designed in particular as Tiefformfolien, preferably by insolation and tightly connected by thermal welding, ultrasonic welding or laser welding. A particularly simple and safe method, the thermal welding has been found. For this purpose, well-weldable thermoforming films, which in particular contain polypropylene or polyethylene, are welded together by compressing two opposing heated dies of a welding tool. In order to maintain the chemical or physical properties, e.g. To improve chemical resistance, multilayer films such. Aluminum composite films are used, in which the surface to be welded consists of a good weldable plastic.
Nach einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Abdeckung für eine Mehrzahl von Ausbuchtungen vorgesehen oder alternativ dazu eine Abdeckung pro Ausbuchtung vorgesehen. Die Auswahl einer dieser Ausführungsbeispiele ist einerseits bedingt durch die chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften der Komponenten. Für besonders reaktive Komponenten kann es beispielsweise notwendig sein, eine spezielle Abdeckung und/oder Auskleidung des Vorratsbereichs vorzusehen. Die Herstellung von übereinanderliegenden Ausbuchtungen mit unterschiedlichen Volumina kann es ebenfalls erforderlich machen, dass jede Komponente eine eigene Abdeckung aufweist. Des Weiteren kann das Herstellungsverfahren erfordern, dass der Schritt der Befüllung der Ausbuchtungen sequentiell erfolgt. Das bedeutet, dass zuerst die Ausbuchtungen mit einer ersten Komponente befüllt werden und unmittelbar verschlossen werden müssen. Erst nach Erreichen der gewünschten Losgrösse erfolgt die Befüllung der Ausbuchtungen mit der zweiten Komponente.According to a preferred embodiment, a cover for a plurality of bulges is provided or alternatively one Cover provided per bulge. The selection of one of these embodiments is on the one hand due to the chemical and physical properties of the components. For particularly reactive components, it may be necessary, for example, to provide a special covering and / or lining of the storage area. Producing overlying bulges of different volumes may also require each component to have its own cover. Further, the manufacturing process may require that the step of filling the protrusions be sequential. This means that first the bulges must be filled with a first component and immediately closed. Only after reaching the desired batch size, the bulges are filled with the second component.
Zu jeder Vorrichtung ist mindestens ein Austrittskanal vorgesehen, durch welchen die Komponenten als Folge des Einwirkens eines Pressdrucks aus den die Ausbuchtungen bildenden Vorratsbereichen ausgepresst werden.For each device, at least one outlet channel is provided, through which the components are pressed as a result of the action of a pressing pressure from the storage areas forming the bulges.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung ist stromabwärts des Austrittskanals ein Austragrohr vorgesehen, welches ein Mischelement enthalten kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the device, a discharge tube is provided downstream of the outlet channel, which may contain a mixing element.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Variante ist ein Öffnungsmittel vorgesehen, um die Vorratsbereiche unmittelbar vor Gebrauch zu öffnen. Ein derartiges Öffnungsmittel kann einerseits als Trennmittel ausgebildet sein. Ein derartiges Trennmittel umfasst Schneidkanten, die eine Durchtrennung der Abdeckung bewirken, wobei das Öffnungsmittel als Stössel oder als Steg eines Mischelements ausgebildet ist. Alternativ dazu kann das Öffnungsmittel einen Austrittskanal freigeben, indem eine Aufweitung eines Schlitzes erfolgt, ohne dass Material der Abdeckung oder der Folien durchtrennt werden müsste. Ein derartiges Öffnungsmittel ist beispielsweise als Keil ausgebildet. Eine weitere Kategorie von Öffnungsmitteln umfasst Mittel zum Lösen der Verbindung der Folien durch Knickbewegungen im Bereich des noch verschlossenen Austrittskanals. Durch Bewegen des Austragrohrs gegen die Ausbuchtungen kommt es zur Knickung in dem Bereich des Austrittskanals, der den Austritt der Komponenten in das Austragrohr verhindert. Durch die auf den Austrittskanal wirkende Knickbewegung wird somit ein Kanal freigegeben, durch welchen die zugehörige Komponente fliessen kann, nachdem das Öffnungsmittel betätigt worden ist.According to a further advantageous variant, an opening means is provided to open the storage areas immediately before use. Such an opening means may be formed on the one hand as a release agent. Such a separating means comprises cutting edges, which cause a separation of the cover, wherein the opening means is formed as a ram or as a web of a mixing element. Alternatively, the opening means may release an exit channel by widening a slot without having to cut through material of the cover or foils. Such an opening means is formed for example as a wedge. Another category of opening means comprises means for releasing the compound of the films by kinking movements in the area of the still closed Outlet channel. By moving the discharge tube against the bulges, buckling occurs in the region of the discharge channel which prevents the components from escaping into the discharge tube. By acting on the outlet channel bending movement thus a channel is released, through which the associated component can flow, after the opening means has been actuated.
Die Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiele eignet sich insbesondere für Mehrkomponentenklebstoffe.The device according to one of the preceding embodiments is particularly suitable for multi-component adhesives.
