Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packs for containing at least three cylindrical hygiene articles, in particular packs for at least three uncompressed toilet paper rolls, household towel rolls, kitchen paper rolls or other tissue paper rolls.
  • Packs of this kind are also known in the field of other hygiene products that are wound onto rolls, in particular kitchen towels and household towels. Due to the greater axial extension of these rolls, the rolls are typically arranged parallel to one another, particularly in single layer or double layer arrangements. In other words, packs of 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 2x2 or 2x4 kitchen towels or household towels are customary. However, other configurations for containing up to 16 rolls of kitchen towels or household towels are also widely used.
  • the packaging material of these packs is usually made of a plastic film material, in particular a substantially transparent plastic film material, on which product designations, trade names, trademark designations, decorations or the like can be printed.
  • the packs are easy to carry and to handle and have an appealing appearance when being carried in the streets or stored at home.
  • packaging apparatus and packaging material that is already used in the packaging lines and that does not require major restructuring of the packaging lines. Additionally, it is preferred using simple bags having low manufacturing costs.
  • GB 2 380 178 A relates to the packaging of rolls of sheet material in which containers are seated in the hollow spaces of the winding rolls, or between the respective rolls. According to this disclosure, the rolls may be wrapped to form a pack.
  • US 5,735,106 relates to a continuous process for packaging and compressing products, in particular tissue paper rolls in a cylindrical sleeve.
  • EP 0 279 770 A2 relates to a package comprising a wrapper formed from a single web of flexible sheet material formed into a tube having overlapping edge margins sealed together to form a single longitudinal seam for the tube lying substantially in the plane of one wall of the package, and a pair of end seals at opposite ends of the package, at least one end seal comprising end portions of two opposite walls of the tube sealed together in face-to-face relation in a plane extending longitudinally of the tube and generally at right angles to the plane of the overlapping edge margins forming the longitudinal seam.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a pack for containing cylindrical hygiene articles resulting in reduced pallet space, reduced manufacturing cost and an improved appearance of the printed faces of the pack, and which is easy to open.
  • the pack for containing at least three cylindrical hygiene articles in particular at least three uncompressed toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, household towels or other tissue paper rolls, comprises a bag for containing the hygiene products. Furthermore, the at least three substantially cylindrical hygiene articles are arranged in a substantially triangular arrangement in the bag, wherein the pack is closed by a welding seam extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to a winding axis defined by at least one of the cylindrical hygiene articles.
  • Bags may be produced from a tube-like material by simple welding in the cross-direction of the tube-like material.
  • the processing and packaging lines of the tissue paper manufacturers are usually made for processing these bags such that investments in additional equipment can be basically avoided.
  • the arrangement of the at least three basically cylindrical hygiene articles in a substantially triangular form in the bag has more than one beneficial effect.
  • the space needed on a shipping pallet e.g. a Euro pallet
  • the cylindrical objects namely the toilet paper rolls or kitchen paper rolls
  • the respective rolls are situated out of phase with respect to one another.
  • the cylindrical rolls have a round footprint
  • a shifting of the rolls with respect to one another, in particular by half of the diameter leads to a considerable saving of pallet space as the rolls can use the groove between them more efficiently.
  • the outer walls of the bag do typically have three faces, or sides, typically of the same size. On these three different faces a print can be applied enabling a brilliant and large-area print application.
  • an isosceles triangle results, at least in the plane perpendicular to the winding axes of the hygiene articles.
  • the three faces visible on the outside of the pack have basically the same dimensions.
  • the angle of 60° of the three faces with respect to one another is also beneficial if the packs are placed in a display in a supermarket, as the faces are always visible from the outside, independent of the orientation in which the pack is placed in a shelf, provided the pack is placed on its bottom or top wall.
  • the pack is also easier to carry as it does not have such a long vertical extension, which is particularly advantageous for smaller persons.
  • the term "triangular" with respect to the arrangement of the cylindrical hygiene articles is to be understood such that the winding axes of the hygiene articles are situated such that they constitute the three corners of the triangle. This arrangement is independent of the layer in which the hygiene articles are situated. In particular, it is also understood that a triangular arrangement is present if the winding axes of an arrangement of cylindrical hygiene articles in a first layer in combination with the winding axes of cylindrical hygiene articles of a second layer constitute the corners of a triangle.
  • cylindrical in connection with hygiene articles relates to hygiene articles which are distributed in rollform, in particular toilet paper rolls, household towel rolls or kitchen paper rolls, which may have a basically hollow winding core or, in different embodiments, have no such core at all but are wound fully or are provided as coreless rolls.
  • bag will be understood to embrace all types of bags. Bags have the character of providing a volume into which the hygiene products can be filled. Bags are typically pre-manufactured by using a tube-like film material, a folded film material or two webs of film material, the respective layers of the film material being joined together on an appropriate number of edges in order to form the bag, leaving open only one single side of the pre-manufactured bag.
  • bag is, inter alia, in contrast to the term “wrapper” which are provided in the form of a single layer of flat film material which is wrapped around the already arranged hygiene products and is then attached to itself in order to close in the hygiene products.
  • the film material polypropylene films, polyethylene films, starch based films, biodegradable films and/or material mixtures thereof.
  • a shrink film material may also be used.
  • the packaging material may be provided in the form of different layers of material, in particular as a multi-layer film and/or a laminate.
  • the hygiene products that can be contained in the pack include, but are not limited to, toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, household towel rolls, napkins, facials, hand wiping towels, object wiping rolls and any other suitable hygiene product for personal hygiene or for object wiping and cleaning, as long as it is provided in cylindrical form/roll form. It will be appreciated that also the comparatively big rolls used in public or professional dispensers may be the hygiene products contained in the pack. In a preferred embodiment, the hygiene products themselves are also contained in an individual packaging, in particular in the form of individual rolls wrapped in paper or in a plastic film material.
  • the pack has a handle attached to the tope side of the bag, preferably integrated with the welding seam, or integrated into one of the sides/faces of the bag.
  • the handle is particularly advantageous in carrying the pack easily and has, in the integrated form, the advantage of low manufacturing costs.
  • the winding axes of the cylindrical hygiene articles are arranged such that they substantially constitute the three corners of a triangle, in particular of an isosceles triangle. It might be possible that the winding axes of the cylindrical hygiene articles are situated substantially parallel to one another. By these features, particularly beneficial pack sizes may be obtained.
  • the hygiene articles are arranged in at least two layers, the winding axes of the hygiene articles of the first layer being parallel to the winding axes of the hygiene articles of the second layer.
  • the winding axes of the first layer and the winding axes of the second layer of the hygiene articles are displaced with respect to one another to form at least one triangular arrangement.
  • the hygiene articles are phase-shifted with respect to one another, in particular by half of the diameter of the cylindrical hygiene articles.
  • This specific embodiment enables a close packing as the grooves between the cylindrical hygiene products are filled up with the next layer of hygiene products.
  • the hygiene articles are arranged in at least two layers, wherein the winding axes of the hygiene articles of each layer are parallel to one another and are arranged in a triangular form.
  • another preferred form of a packing arrangement is provided.
  • a handle is attached to the bag, wherein the handle extends substantially parallel to the winding axes of the hygiene articles.
  • a handle extends basically orthogonal to the winding axes and intersects with at least one of the winding axes.
  • the outer shape of the pack is important for several reasons. First of all, the outer form aids in the provision of printing faces and provides an individual and aesthetic appearance. Second of all, it aids in finding advanced palleting solutions for packing a plurality of packs on a pallet in a space-saving manner. Accordingly, the pack may have the outer form of a prism, in particular a triangular prism. In another embodiment, the pack has the outer form of a wedge. In yet another embodiment, the pack has the outer form of a substantially pyramidal, conical and/or tapering arrangement. For all these outer forms, an exceptionally close packing scheme can be established, leading to a highly efficient packing of the pallets.
  • an opening section is provided, which is defined by lines of weakness in the material of the bag, wherein the opening section extends over at least two walls of the pack.
  • the opening section may be opened easily when a handle is provided which extends into the opening section and which constitutes a gripping section, in particular having a finger hole.
  • a separate handle may be attached to the bag, wherein a first section of the handle is attached to the bag in a bottom wall and a second section of the handle is attached to the bag in an opening section such that the second section of the handle can be used for aiding in opening the opening section.
  • a re-closable tab means may be provided for closing the pack after it has been opened.
  • the pack is designed for comprising a specially designed opening flap for opening the pack more easily.
  • a first end section and a second end section of the bag material are overlapped in an overlapping area and a printed area extends into the first end section and/or the second end section in the overlapping area.
  • at least one line of weakness in particular a perforation, extends into the first end section and/or the second end section substantially within the boundaries of the printed area, wherein the first end section and the second end section are joined to one another in the overlapping area outside the boundaries of the printed area.
  • the overlap is typically not joined such that a gripping section can be provided which can be easily gripped by an end customer.
  • the overlapping area is situated in at least one of the side walls, preferably extending between two side walls in order to provide an opening flap in the side walls.
  • the objective is also solved by a method for manufacturing a pack according to the present disclosure.
  • the method comprises the steps of providing a first layer of hygiene articles by placing at least two columns of hygiene articles next to one another and providing at least a second layer of hygiene articles on top of the first layer of hygiene articles by placing at least one column of hygiene articles in the groove between the two columns of the first layer.
  • a bag is held open in a substantially triangular form using at least two vacuum grippers which are operated under an angle.
  • the triangular arrangement of the hygiene articles is inserted into the opened bag and the bag is closed by at least two folding blades which are operated under an angle. Then, the folded material is heat welded such that the bag is sealed tightly.
  • Figure 1 shows a pack 1 according to the present disclosure in a schematic view plan view from the bottom of the pack. In other words, the bottom wall 20 of the pack 1 is shown.
  • the pack 1 is comprised of a bag 2 for containing the hygiene products 3, wherein the bag 2 is made from a polyethylene material.
  • the bag 2 shown in the Figure is a so-called flat bag, meaning that it is basically manufactured from a tube-like plastics foil material which carries a seal in the cross direction to seal together both layers of the tube in order to close a top part 28 of the flat bag.
  • the bottom wall 20 shown in Figure 1 is the wall that sits in the position through which the hygiene articles 3 are introduced into the bag 2 before it is sealed off at a welding seam 4.
  • the welding seam 4 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the winding axes 32 of the cylindrical hygiene products 3. This welding seam 4 is situated in this plane such that a bag 2 can be used for manufacturing the pack 1.
  • the hygiene articles 3 are arranged basically in a triangular arrangement, as can be seen in Figure 1 .
  • the winding axes 32 of the toilet paper rolls are situated in the center of the toilet paper rolls, virtually within the winding cores 30.
  • the winding axes 32 of the toilet paper rolls 3 are, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1 , in a parallel arrangement.
  • the three winding axes 32 of the toilet paper rolls 3 are arranged such that they constitute the corners of an triangle, in particular of an isosceles triangle.
  • the bag 2 used may also be a different type of bag, in particular a cylindrical bag, a bottom folding bag, a side folding bag, a shrink film bag or any other suitable type of bag. It will be understood that in all types of bags the top part is the closed part that is pre-manufactured and that has the specific forms.
  • top side and bottom wall of the bag in the disclosure, it is to be understood that the terms “top” and “bottom” are not considered limiting and any other combination of walls can be used, provided that the first side is a pre-sealed side of the bag and the second wall is sealed off after the hygiene products are inserted into the bag.
  • a triangular arrangement is also defined by the pyramidal form of the pack.
  • the base of the packs is wider than the tip, resulting in a pyramidal, or conical, outer form of the packs.
  • the bottom wall 20 of the pack 1 comprises two flaps 202 and 204 which result from the simple form of the bag 2 in its initial form, namely the bag configuration which leads to some excess material that needs to be folded into the center of the bottom wall.
  • the flaps 202 and 204 of bag 2 stand up after filling the bag 2.
  • These flaps 202 and 204 have to be folded into the bottom wall 20 of the pack 1 in order to close the pack.
  • the process of folding in the flaps 202 and 204 will be explained below, in particular with respect to Figures 17 and 18 .
  • the resulting flaps 202 and 204 do, accordingly, remain on the bottom wall 20 of the pack 1.
  • FIG. 2 A schematic perspective view of the pack according to Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2 . It becomes immediately apparent that the three side walls 22, 24 and 26 have basically the same size, owing to the fact that the three hygiene articles in the form of the toilet paper rolls 3 have the same outer dimensions.
  • the winding axes 32 of the toilet paper rolls 3 are arranged in a triangular form as mentioned above, i.e. the winding axes constitute the three corners of a triangle.
  • three toilet paper rolls are basically aligned in a "column" such that the winding axes 32 of the three toilet paper rolls 3 of the respective columns fall substantially together. Accordingly, the three columns of toilet paper rolls 3 are then arranged in a form according to the triangular arrangement of the winding axes of the toilet paper rolls 3.
  • the top wall 28 of the pack which is not directly visible in Figure 2 due to the perspective, is the wall that was manufactured before the hygiene articles 3 were inserted into the bag 2.
  • the top wall 28 carries the single weld that constitutes the bag in the beginning.
  • FIG 3 shows another embodiment of a pack 1 which is basically identical to the pack shown in Figures 1 and 2 but, additionally, carries a handle 5 situated in one of the side walls, namely in side wall 22.
  • the handle 5 has a finger hole 50 which enables the end consumer to carry the pack 1 conveniently.
  • Figure 4 shows yet another embodiment of the pack 1 which has also a basically identical outer shape as that shown in Figures 1 and 2 , but a handle 5 with a finger hole 50 is applied to the top wall 28.
  • the handle 5 and the top wall 28 can be manufactured during the manufacture of the bag 2 itself, before the hygiene articles 3 are filled into the bag.
  • top wall 28 and the bottom wall 20 have both a substantially triangular shape and the side walls 22, 24 and 26 extend between a translation of these two triangles basically in a plane.
  • Wedge-shaped and prism-shaped does not imply necessarily that the corners of the respective triangles are sharp. In fact, the corners are rather rounded due to the cylindrical form of the hygiene articles 3. It will be appreciated, however, that even though there are no sharp corners, the overall appearance of the top wall 28 as well as the bottom wall 20 is triangular.
  • Figure 5 shows another pack 1 having four hygiene articles 3 enclosed therein.
  • the arrangement of the hygiene articles in the form of the toilet paper rolls 3 is such that the lower layer of the hygiene articles is arranged such that the winding axes 32 of the hygiene articles are parallel to one another and constitute the three points of a triangle.
  • a single toilet paper roll is placed on top of the bottom layer such that the winding axis 32 of the second layer toilet paper roll 3 is exactly placed in the middle of the three winding axes of the lower layer.
  • the pack results in a rather pyramidal-shaped form. This form implies that the base of the pack is wider than the top/tip. A handle 5 is placed on top of the pack.
  • an opening section 6 is provided and defined by a perforation line 60 around the opening section 6.
  • the opening section 6 enables the end customer to open the pack 1 easily and at a defined position of the pack.
  • the arrangement of the different toilet paper rolls 3 according to Figure 5 is such that they are all phase-shifted with respect to one another.
  • the four toilet paper rolls 3 are arranged such that they take up as little volume as possible.
  • Figure 6 shows another pack 1 for containing three toilet paper rolls 3.
  • the winding axes 32 of the individual toilet paper rolls 3 are arranged parallel to one another and constitute a triangle.
  • the bag 2 is basically made in the same manner as that shown in Figures 1 to 4 and it can be imagined that the pack according to Figure 6 is basically a slice of the bags shown in Figures 2 to 4 .
  • a handle 5 is provided in one of the corners of the pack. Furthermore, an opening section 6 defined by a perforation 60 is also present.
  • the perforation 60 extends into the handle 5, constituting a gripping section 62 with a finger hole 64, which can be used for opening the opening section 6 by gripping it and ripping the pack apart.
  • FIG 10 shows yet another embodiment of a pack 1, this pack containing six hygiene articles, again in a triangular form.
  • An opening section 6 is defined by a perforation 60 in the bag 2.
  • a first carrying handle 5 is provided, which extends from one of the side walls 22 to the other of the side walls 24 and serves to carry the pack 1 in an upright position.
  • a second handle 52 is provided, basically in a plane perpendicular to the plane constituted by the first handle 5, wherein the second handle 52 extends from a first section 520 which is attached to the bottom wall 20 of the pack 1 towards a second section 522, which is attached to the top wall 28 of the pack.
  • the second section 522 is attached to the foil material of the bag 2 in the area of the opening section 6. Accordingly, the second handle 52 can be used as an aid for opening the opening section 6 by pulling the handle 52 such that a force is effected on the opening section 6.
