Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging container, in particular can-like container with a produced from composite film, cylinder or tube-like container body and a cover device, and a bottom closure, in particular floor.
- Such containers are well known and are used for storage, storage and transport of liquid, pasty and solid contents, the low weight and easy printability of such packaging are extremely advantageous.
- a disadvantage is sometimes the handling, in particular the opening of such containers, due to the flexibility of the container body, which is made of a composite film.
- the container body which is made of a composite film.
- it can happen very easily when opening the container that the contents of the package is spilled uncontrollably. This danger is especially true if the container opening is designed to be flexible.
- the WO 02/055402 A1 For example, to attach to a container opening a dimensionally stable ring.
- the EP 1 621 477 A1 describes flexible container according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein a local base element after removal of filler material from the local container again by placing a cap on holes of a local cover grating can be closed.
- a thickening or a projection is in each case integrally disposed on the cap there on the outside and on the base element thereon, wherein the thickening arranged on the cap on the cap snaps over the ring arranged on the inside of the base element on reclosing.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an alternative to rigid, made of plastic, glass or metal packaging containers, which open in spite of the production of flexible composite film controlled and can be closed again, with a cap closure is provided with snap mechanism , which is suitable under a reduced effort to safely close the container after a first opening, without fear of the above-mentioned disadvantages, in particular a container deformation or destruction.
- the packaging containers according to the invention should be an alternative to rigid packaging cans.
- the object is achieved by a packaging container, in particular can-like container with a manufactured from composite film, substantially cylindrical or tube-like container body and a lid and a bottom, possibly floor, dissolved, the bottom of the opposite peripheral edge of the container body by a relatively stiff or dimensionally stable Is stabilized ring on and / or in which the lid up and / or can be latched, wherein the ring in the radial direction extending protuberances, which is also substantially perpendicular, ie extend in the axial direction or obliquely on the ring and are formed as ribs and wherein the protuberances cooperate with a snap edge located on the lid, wherein the snap edge is moved when closing the lid on the protuberances and snaps behind the protuberances.
- a packaging container in particular can-like container with a manufactured from composite film, substantially cylindrical or tube-like container body and a lid and a bottom, possibly floor, dissolved, the bottom of the opposite peripheral edge of the container body by a relatively stiff or
- the lid In the closed state, the lid is thus fixed on the container and concludes with, for example, a particular circumferential lip with a substantially smooth, in particular flat top of the ring, the lying on the smooth top of the ring coming section of the lid suitable is formed to the top of the ring and is sealed before a first opening of the container with this.
- An essential point of the invention is thus that by means of the upper peripheral edge of the container body stabilizing ring a dimensionally stable pouring opening respectively a dimensionally stable lid approach and / or a dimensionally stable lid device is provided, which can be easily opened, so that a targeted access to the contents of the package is possible.
- This is inventively achieved in that a relatively rigid and / or dimensionally stable ring is attached to the upper peripheral edge of the container body.
- the attachment can be realized by gluing or sealing.
- the ring according to the invention consists of plastic and is preferably produced by injection molding or deep drawing.
- the ring can be produced from a single-layer or multi-layer composite film, wherein preferably the composite film forming the container body is used.
- the ring may also be formed by folding or rolling the composite foil or a subcomponent of the composite foil, e.g. a sealable layer of the composite film may be formed.
- the rigid ring is fixed to the inside of the upper peripheral edge of the container body; however, external fixing of the ring to the upper peripheral edge of the container body is also possible.
- the ring may have a directed towards the container body groove, in which engages the peripheral edge of the container body.
- sealing or bonding is provided, wherein the ring in the former case, at least on the outside has a sealable material.
- the container body can also be slightly widened prior to insertion of the ring in the same, so that the peripheral edge of the container body after a relaxation firmly against the inserted ring, in particular an axial extent of the ring.
- the ring is fully connected to the peripheral edge of the container body, in particular glued, sealed, welded or otherwise tightly connected.
- the ring is at least partially shoulder-shaped.
- the protuberances arranged on the ring have a radial extension in the range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm, preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 6.5 mm and particularly preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
- the inner diameter of the opening of the container according to the invention can be varied by attaching protuberances with a different radial extent in a simple manner, so that an adaptation of containers with different opening radius to a certain lid size is easily possible.
- the protuberances may extend both in the direction of a container axis or away from this, depending on whether a lid snaps onto or into the ring, respectively engages.
- a cover film is arranged between the ring and the cover, which is sealed to the ring as a closure guarantee film or originality guarantee.
- a lid snapped onto the ring is first removed and then the covering film is removed.
- the lid can be designed so that he can be snapped on the ring again, so that the container is always closed again after opening.
- the lid means comprises an attached at the peripheral edge of the container body, in particular sealed, a container opening limiting and relatively rigid or dimensionally stable annular shoulder and extending over the container opening and sealed to the edge of the same covering.
- the neck has a radially outwardly extending latching projection, in particular annular projection, or a radially inwardly extending notch on or corresponding with complementary locking means, in particular the snap edge, on the cover.
- the lid can also be hinged as a hinged lid on the ring, in particular on the shoulder, via a film hinge. Shoulder and lid are then integrally connected. Basically, of course, a multi-part hinge joint is conceivable. It is also possible that the lid itself is formed kinkable. For this purpose, the lid may be formed in a section itself as a film hinge.
- the hinge joint may also be biased in the closed position of the lid, either by appropriate imprinting a tension in the material or by the arrangement of a torsion spring.
- the opening edge may be circular, oval, triangular or the like. With regard to the shaping here are no limits. In particular, the opening edge may comprise a sprue or beak. The lid is then designed accordingly.
- the cover film and / or the cover has at least one grip tab extending radially beyond the edge of the container opening.
- the cover can be easily detached or removed from the opening edge of the container.
- the container body is preferably made of a film which is fin-shaped or lap-seal formed into a cylindrical, frusto-conical or tubular body.
- the container body may alternatively also be a section of an extruded film tube.
- the container body optionally also the bottom and the covering film, preferably consist of a laminate, in particular aluminum laminate, with at least one sealing layer and optionally at least one barrier layer, in particular SiO 2 , ethylvinyl alcohol or a metal foil.
- the film thickness is in the range of 50 ⁇ to 1000 ⁇ , in particular 100 ⁇ to 500 ⁇ , preferably 150 ⁇ to 350 ⁇ . Ultimately, the film thickness also depends on the content and size of the packaging container.
- the bottom of the packaging container can either be cup-shaped flat or formed with V or W-fold and glued or sealed edge side with the bottom-side peripheral edge of the container body.
- the bottom can also be closed only by forming a transverse sealing seam corresponding to the bottom closure of a toothpaste or the like.
- the floor consists of a relatively rigid or dimensionally stable material and is formed as a stand base, so that a total of a can-like container is formed, which is characterized by a relatively stiff bottom, a relatively rigid and dimensionally stable lid device and a container body made of composite film.
- Such containers are relatively lightweight, easy to produce, sufficiently dimensionally stable and safe to open and, if necessary, to close again. They can be used to store liquid, powdery or granular articles, in particular foods, drinks or even pharmaceuticals. Due to the flexibility of the container body or due to the simple deformability of the composite film from which the container body is to be made, can also be any number of different Create container shapes. Also, a printing of the container is very simple; it only needs the composite film to be pre-printed accordingly.
- the lid can be made of a relatively rigid or dimensionally stable material, so that the lid after opening the container for other uses, such as a pad for the container, is suitable.
- the relatively rigid or dimensionally stable bottom and / or lid is produced by injection molding or deep drawing. These manufacturing processes are extremely cost effective and are particularly well suited for the production of large quantities.
- the portion connecting the bottom and the container body, i. the floor, with a stabilizing structuring, in particular in the form of axially extending grooves or ribs be provided.
- a stabilizing structuring in particular in the form of axially extending grooves or ribs.
- the lid has a sloping lid top and thus a certain height extension.
- the lid according to the invention may be formed frusto-conical, with the lid tapers upwards. It should be noted that a combination of the features of a sloping top cover and a taper can be combined.
- the aforementioned embodiments are well suited for containers with a lid whose inclined top is available, for example, for advertising purposes and faces the viewer for better visibility. This is particularly advantageous when installing the containers on store shelves, especially since such a three-dimensionally designed lid has an unusual lid shape and thus represents a certain eye-catching feature.
- such a three-dimensionally designed lid with a truncated cone body and a sloping lid top can be used as a stand aid for the container after its removal from the top of the container, the container with its bottom, preferably at least partially formed approximately complementary to the truncated cone shape of the lid is put on this.
- the lid is designed so that it matches the floor in Intervention can be brought.
- the invention provides that the respective lid have a dome, through which a stacking function, both the lid with each other and the container is guaranteed, so that a stacking of the container, for example, on store shelves, in a secure manner is possible.
- the bottom can either be flat cup-shaped or formed with a V or W-fold and glued edge side with the bottom-side peripheral edge of the container body, welded or sealed.
- This peripheral edge which usually serves at least as a partial footprint of the container, comes by placing the container on the lid in an inclined position, so that now the entire container has a slight inclination.
- the degree of filling of the container is dimensioned so that the filling material does not pour out of this slight skew, especially in a fully open container out of this.
- the lid can be placed either on its underside, but optionally also on its top side, and the bottom of the container, when used as a stand aid, is engaged with the lid on the inside or outside, so that the container does not can slip off the slope of the lid.
- the peripheral edge of the lid has a slightly larger outer diameter than the floor or top opening edge, so that the lid is now placed with its original top down on a base and the container in an opening of the lid comes to a standstill and is held for example by a lip or bar on the now upwardly directed lid peripheral edge.
- the container body has a different height over the circumference, so that the container opening of a horizontally standing container extends obliquely sloping.
- the lid is designed in such an oval shape that it is suitable for closing the container opening.
- a ring section or ring which can be snapped on at least around a section of the neck of the cover device and which surrounds the neck at least partially, is connected to the cover, in particular via a film hinge.
- the container can first be filled and sealed with a cover sheet before the lid is secured to the container by means of a ring or a ring portion at least partially surrounding the neck.
- the lid device is made of a relatively stiff or dimensionally stable material, it being emphasized that not only the lid, but also the entire lid device can be injection-molded or deep-drawn.
- the ring portion or ring are wrapped around at least a portion of the neck and thus connected to the container.
- Such a designed lid with the neck at least partially embracing attachment means may be removable, so that the lid can be used by the end user for various containers. In this way it is possible to close the container in a cost effective manner only with the cover.
- the lid with the neck at least partially embracing fastening device can thus be used by the end user, as needed, for reclosing an opened container.
- these sealability reducing substances may be, for example, polybutylene or polypropylene or a mixture of both, in particular with an admixture of 20% by weight of polybutylene to polypropylene.
- the lid has an opening which can be opened outwards and, in particular, sealed, before use, preferably closed with a film.
- an object such as a spoon, knife, fork or the like.
- Tool or addition can be arranged.
- the tool may preferably be formed foldable or collapsible.
- a cover sheet is removed from the top of the recess having the lid, so that the recess is accessible with the material therein. Then, the lid of the container can be opened, so that the interior of the container is accessible.
- the lid may serve as a stand aid for the container.
- the lid preferably has a larger area than the container bottom and is provided with a depression into which the container bottom can be inserted in an essentially registering manner.
- This embodiment is particularly preferred for use for smaller children, as overturning or overturning of the container is significantly more difficult due to its now enlarged footprint.
- the container itself may be provided with a cover sheet in addition to its lid.
- the packaging container shown is a can-like container 10 with a cylindrical or tube-like container body made of composite film 11 and a cover device 12 and a floor 13.
- the cover device 12 comprises a set on the peripheral edge 14 of the container body 11, namely externally sealed, a container opening 15 limiting and relatively rigid or dimensionally stable annular shoulder 16 and extending over the container opening 15 and to the Edge 17 of the same sealed cover sheet 18.
- a neck 19 is formed, on which a lid 20 can be screwed.
- a thread 21 is impressed on the outer circumference of the neck 19, which corresponds with a corresponding and not shown here internal thread of the screw 20.
- the container body 11 may be made of a rectangular foil blank whose overlapping longitudinal edges are either fin- or lap-seal-like connected to each other. Alternatively, and preferably, the container body 11 is a portion of an extruded film tube. In the bottom area, a dimensionally stable flat pot-like floor 13 is inserted and sealed with the container body 11 along the bottom-side peripheral edge, on the inside. The floor 13 is in a known manner at the bottom in the cylindrical container body 11, possibly with the same slight radial expansion thereof, inserted and welded or sealed with this.
- the covering film 18 has a grip tab 22 extending radially beyond the edge 17 of the container opening 15, by means of which the covering film 18 can be easily removed from the edge 17 of the container opening 15 after removal of the screw cap or screw cap 20.
- the container body 11 and the covering film 18 preferably consist of an aluminum laminate with at least one sealing layer and optionally at least one barrier layer, in particular SiO 2 , ethylvinyl alcohol or a metal foil.
- the laminate of the container body 11 should also be sealable, in particular, because along the upper and lower peripheral edge of the container body 11, the lid device or the annular shoulder thereof on the one hand and the floor 13 on the other hand should be sealable.
- Fig. 2 differs from the one after Fig. 1 only in that the lid 20 can be snapped onto the neck 19, in the direction of the arrow 23.
- the removal of the lid 20 is of course in the opposite direction.
- the cover 20 has a peripheral edge with a radially inwardly extending annular projection 24, which corresponds to a radially outwardly extending annular projection 25 in the region of the edge 17 of the container opening 15.
- FIGS. 3a-3e show a can-like container 10, wherein the attachment of a lid device 12 according to the invention is shown in consequence of the corresponding steps.
- Fig. 3a is sealed to the upper peripheral edge 14 of the container body 11, an annular shoulder 16 together with the neck 19, on the outside. It then creates the configuration according to Fig. 3b .
- a cover sheet 18 with gripping tab 22 is sealed onto the opening edge 17 delimiting the container opening 15 (see FIG Fig. 3c and 3d ).

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verpackungsbehälter, insbesondere dosenartigen Behälter mit einem aus Verbundfolie hergestellten, zylinder- oder tubenartigen Behälterkörper und einer Deckeleinrichtung, sowie einem Bodenverschluß, insbesondere Standboden.The invention relates to a packaging container, in particular can-like container with a produced from composite film, cylinder or tube-like container body and a cover device, and a bottom closure, in particular floor.
Derartige Behälter sind allgemein bekannt und werden zur Aufbewahrung, Lagerung und Transport von flüssigen, pastösen und festen Inhalten verwendet, wobei das geringe Gewicht sowie die einfache Bedruckbarkeit derartiger Verpackungen äußerst vorteilhaft sind. Nachteilig ist jedoch mitunter die Handhabung, insbesondere das Öffnen derartiger Behälter, und zwar aufgrund der Flexibilität des Behälterkörpers, der aus einer Verbundfolie hergestellt ist. Mangels ausreichender Stabilität des Behälterkörpers kann es beim Öffnen des Behälters sehr leicht geschehen, daß der Verpackungsinhalt unkontrolliert verschüttet wird. Diese Gefahr ist insbesondere dann gegeben, wenn auch die Behälteröffnung flexibel gestaltet ist. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, schlägt die
Die
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Alternative zu starren, aus Kunststoff, Glas oder Metall hergestellten Verpackungsbehältern zu schaffen, die sich trotz der Herstellung aus flexibler Verbundfolie kontrolliert öffnen und auch wieder verschließen lassen, wobei ein Kappenverschluß mit Schnappmechanismus zur Verfügung gestellt wird, der unter einem reduzierten Kraftaufwand geeignet ist, den Behälter nach einem ersten Öffnen sicher wieder zu verschließen, ohne oben genannte Nachteile, insbesondere eine Behälterdeformation oder -zerstörung befürchten zu müssen. Insbesondere sollen die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsbehälter eine Alternative zu starren Verpackungsdosen darstellen.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an alternative to rigid, made of plastic, glass or metal packaging containers, which open in spite of the production of flexible composite film controlled and can be closed again, with a cap closure is provided with snap mechanism , which is suitable under a reduced effort to safely close the container after a first opening, without fear of the above-mentioned disadvantages, in particular a container deformation or destruction. In particular, the packaging containers according to the invention should be an alternative to rigid packaging cans.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of
Insbesondere wird die Aufgabe durch einen Verpackungsbehälter, insbesondere dosenartigen Behälter mit einem aus Verbundfolie hergestellten, im wesentlichen zylinderförmigen oder tubenartigen Behälterkörper und einem Deckel sowie einem Boden, gegebenenfalls Standboden, gelöst, wobei der dem Boden gegenüberliegende Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers durch einen relativ steifen bzw. formstabilen Ring stabilisiert ist, auf und/oder in den der Deckel auf- und/oder einrastbar ist, wobei der Ring sich in radialer Richtung erstreckende Ausstülpungen auf, die sich ferner im wesentlichen senkrecht, d.h. in axialer Richtung oder schräg an dem Ring erstrecken und als Rippen ausgebildet sind und wobei die Ausstülpungen mit einem an dem Deckel befindlichen Schnapprand zusammen wirken, wobei der Schnapprand beim Schließen des Deckels über die Ausstülpungen bewegt wird und hinter den Ausstülpungen einschnappt. In geschlossenem Zustand ist der Deckel somit auf dem Behälter fixiert und schließt mit, beispielsweise einer, insbesondere umlaufenden, Lippe mit einer im wesentlichen glatten, insbesondere ebenen Oberseite des Rings ab, wobei der auf der glatten Oberseite des Rings zu liegen kommende Abschnitts des Deckels passend zu der Oberseite des Rings ausgebildet ist und vor einem ersten Öffnen des Behälters mit dieser versiegelt ist.In particular, the object is achieved by a packaging container, in particular can-like container with a manufactured from composite film, substantially cylindrical or tube-like container body and a lid and a bottom, possibly floor, dissolved, the bottom of the opposite peripheral edge of the container body by a relatively stiff or dimensionally stable Is stabilized ring on and / or in which the lid up and / or can be latched, wherein the ring in the radial direction extending protuberances, which is also substantially perpendicular, ie extend in the axial direction or obliquely on the ring and are formed as ribs and wherein the protuberances cooperate with a snap edge located on the lid, wherein the snap edge is moved when closing the lid on the protuberances and snaps behind the protuberances. In the closed state, the lid is thus fixed on the container and concludes with, for example, a particular circumferential lip with a substantially smooth, in particular flat top of the ring, the lying on the smooth top of the ring coming section of the lid suitable is formed to the top of the ring and is sealed before a first opening of the container with this.
Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Erfindung besteht also darin, daß mittels eines den oberen Umfangsrandes des Behälterkörpers stabilisierenden Rings eine formstabile Ausgussöffnung respektive ein formstabiler Deckelansatz und /oder eine formstabile Deckeleinrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt ist, die sich leicht öffnen läßt, so dass ein gezielter Zugang zum Packungsinhalt möglich ist. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass ein relativ steifer und/oder formstabiler Ring am oberen Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers befestigt wird. Die Befestigung kann durch Verkleben oder Versiegeln realisiert sein. Der Ring besteht erfindungsgemäß aus Kunststoff und ist vorzugsweise durch Spritzgießen oder Tiefziehen hergestellt. Ferner kann der Ring erfindungsgemäß aus einer ein- oder mehrlagigen Verbundfolie hergestellt sein, wobei vorzugsweise die den Behälterkörper bildende Verbundfolie verwendet ist. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann der Ring auch durch Falten oder Einrollen der Verbundfolie oder einer Teilkomponente der Verbundfolie, wie z.B. einer siegelfähigen Schicht der Verbundfolie, gebildet sein.An essential point of the invention is thus that by means of the upper peripheral edge of the container body stabilizing ring a dimensionally stable pouring opening respectively a dimensionally stable lid approach and / or a dimensionally stable lid device is provided, which can be easily opened, so that a targeted access to the contents of the package is possible. This is inventively achieved in that a relatively rigid and / or dimensionally stable ring is attached to the upper peripheral edge of the container body. The attachment can be realized by gluing or sealing. The ring according to the invention consists of plastic and is preferably produced by injection molding or deep drawing. Furthermore, according to the invention, the ring can be produced from a single-layer or multi-layer composite film, wherein preferably the composite film forming the container body is used. According to another embodiment, the ring may also be formed by folding or rolling the composite foil or a subcomponent of the composite foil, e.g. a sealable layer of the composite film may be formed.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird der steife bzw. formstabile Ring an der Innenseite des oberen Umfangsrands des Behälterkörpers befestigt; jedoch ist auch eine außenseitige Befestigung des Rings an dem oberen Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers möglich. Alternativ kann der Ring eine in Richtung des Behälterkörpers gerichtete Nut aufweisen, in welche der Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers eingreift. Zur Befestigung des Rings ist erfindungsgemäß Versiegeln oder Verkleben vorgesehen, wobei der Ring in ersterem Fall zumindest außenseitig ein siegelfähiges Material aufweist.According to a preferred embodiment, the rigid ring is fixed to the inside of the upper peripheral edge of the container body; however, external fixing of the ring to the upper peripheral edge of the container body is also possible. Alternatively, the ring may have a directed towards the container body groove, in which engages the peripheral edge of the container body. For attachment of the ring according to the invention sealing or bonding is provided, wherein the ring in the former case, at least on the outside has a sealable material.
Im Falle einer innenseitigen Befestigung des Rings an dem Behälterkörper kann der Behälterkörper ferner vor einem Einsetzen des Rings in denselben etwas aufgeweitet sein, so dass der Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers nach einem Entspannen fest an dem eingesetzten Ring, insbesondere einer axialen Erstreckung des Rings anliegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Ring vollumfänglich mit dem Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers verbunden, insbesondere verklebt, versiegelt, verschweißt oder auf andere Weise dicht verbunden.In the case of an inside fastening of the ring to the container body, the container body can also be slightly widened prior to insertion of the ring in the same, so that the peripheral edge of the container body after a relaxation firmly against the inserted ring, in particular an axial extent of the ring. According to the invention, the ring is fully connected to the peripheral edge of the container body, in particular glued, sealed, welded or otherwise tightly connected.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Ring zumindest abschnittsweise schulterförmig ausgebildet.According to a further embodiment, the ring is at least partially shoulder-shaped.
Ferner weisen die an dem Ring angeordneten Ausstülpungen eine radiale Erstreckung im Bereich von 0,1 mm bis 10 mm, vorzugsweise im Bereich von 0,2 mm bis 6,5 mm und besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 0,5 mm bis 5 mm auf. In vorteilhafter Weise kann der Innendurchmesser der Öffnung des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters durch eine Anbringung von Ausstülpungen mit einer unterschiedlichen radialen Erstreckung in einfacher Weise variiert werden, so dass eine Anpassung von Behältern mit unterschiedlichem Öffnungsradius an eine bestimmte Deckelgröße leicht möglich ist. Zu diesem Zweck können sich die Ausstülpungen sowohl in Richtung einer Behälterachse oder von dieser weg erstrecken, je nachdem, ob ein Deckel auf den oder in den Ring einschnappt, respektive einrastet.Furthermore, the protuberances arranged on the ring have a radial extension in the range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm, preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 6.5 mm and particularly preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 5 mm. Advantageously, the inner diameter of the opening of the container according to the invention can be varied by attaching protuberances with a different radial extent in a simple manner, so that an adaptation of containers with different opening radius to a certain lid size is easily possible. For this purpose, the protuberances may extend both in the direction of a container axis or away from this, depending on whether a lid snaps onto or into the ring, respectively engages.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen Ring und Deckel eine Abdeckfolie angeordnet ist, die als Verschlussgarantiefolie bzw. Originalitätsgarantie an den Ring angesiegelt ist. Zum Öffnen des Behälters wird somit zunächst ein auf den Ring aufgeschnappter Deckel entfernt und sodann die Abdeckfolie abgezogen. In vorteilhafter Weise kann der Deckel dabei so ausgebildet sein, dass er erneut auf den Ring aufschnappbar ist, so dass der Behälter nach einem Öffnen immer wieder verschließbar ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a cover film is arranged between the ring and the cover, which is sealed to the ring as a closure guarantee film or originality guarantee. To open the container, therefore, a lid snapped onto the ring is first removed and then the covering film is removed. Advantageously, the lid can be designed so that he can be snapped on the ring again, so that the container is always closed again after opening.
Im Falle einer schulterförmigen Ausgestaltung des Rings umfaßt die Deckeleinrichtung eine am Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers angesetzte, insbesondere angesiegelte, eine Behälteröffnung begrenzende und relativ steife bzw. formstabile Ringschulter sowie eine sich über die Behälteröffnung erstreckende und an den Rand derselben gesiegelte Abdeckfolie. Diese, sowie auch vorgenannte Ausführungsformen, erlauben auch relativ große formstabile Behälteröffnungen, die sich so verschließen lassen, daß der Behälterinhalt vor Kontamination geschützt ist. Insbesondere läßt sich der Behälterinhalt auch steril verpacken.In the case of a shoulder-shaped embodiment of the ring, the lid means comprises an attached at the peripheral edge of the container body, in particular sealed, a container opening limiting and relatively rigid or dimensionally stable annular shoulder and extending over the container opening and sealed to the edge of the same covering. These, as well as the aforementioned embodiments, also allow relatively large dimensionally stable container openings, which can be closed so that the container contents are protected from contamination. In particular, the container contents can also be packaged sterile.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform erstreckt sich zwischen Ring bzw. Ringschulter und Behälteröffnung ein Hals, auf den ein Deckel aufrastbar ist. Bei der erstgenannten Lösung weist der Hals einen sich radial nach außen erstreckenden Rastvorsprung, insbesondere Ringvorsprung, oder eine sich radial nach innen erstreckende Rastkerbe auf, der bzw. die mit komplementären Rastmitteln, insbesondere dem Schnapprand, am Deckel korrespondieren.In a preferred embodiment extends between the ring or annular shoulder and container opening a neck on which a lid can be latched. In the former solution, the neck has a radially outwardly extending latching projection, in particular annular projection, or a radially inwardly extending notch on or corresponding with complementary locking means, in particular the snap edge, on the cover.
Der Deckel kann auch als Klappdeckel an dem Ring, insbesondere an der Schulter, über ein Filmscharnier angelenkt sein. Schulter und Deckel sind dann einstückig miteinander verbunden. Grundsätzlich ist natürlich auch eine mehrteilige Scharniergelenkverbindung denkbar. Ebenso ist es möglich, daß der Deckel selbst knickbar ausgebildet ist. Hierzu kann der Deckel in einem Teilabschnitt selbst als Filmscharnier ausgebildet sein.The lid can also be hinged as a hinged lid on the ring, in particular on the shoulder, via a film hinge. Shoulder and lid are then integrally connected. Basically, of course, a multi-part hinge joint is conceivable. It is also possible that the lid itself is formed kinkable. For this purpose, the lid may be formed in a section itself as a film hinge.
Das Scharniergelenk kann auch in Schließstellung des Deckels vorgespannt sein, und zwar entweder durch entsprechende Aufprägung einer Spannung im Material oder durch die Anordnung einer Torsionsfeder.The hinge joint may also be biased in the closed position of the lid, either by appropriate imprinting a tension in the material or by the arrangement of a torsion spring.
Der Öffnungsrand kann kreisförmig, oval, dreieckförmig oder dgl. ausgebildet sein. Hinsichtlich der Formgebung sind hier keinerlei Grenzen gesetzt. Insbesondere kann der Öffnungsrand einen Gießtrichter bzw. Schnabel umfassen. Der Deckel ist dann entsprechend ausgebildet.The opening edge may be circular, oval, triangular or the like. With regard to the shaping here are no limits. In particular, the opening edge may comprise a sprue or beak. The lid is then designed accordingly.
Des weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abdeckfolie und/oder der Deckel wenigstens eine sich radial über den Rand der Behälteröffnung hinweg erstreckende Grifflasche aufweist. Mittels dieser läßt sich die Abdeckfolie leicht vom Öffnungsrand des Behälters ablösen bzw. abziehen.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the cover film and / or the cover has at least one grip tab extending radially beyond the edge of the container opening. By means of this, the cover can be easily detached or removed from the opening edge of the container.
Der Behälterkörper besteht vorzugsweise aus einer Folie, die mittels fin- oder lap-seal zu einem zylindrischen, kegelstumpfförmigen oder schlauchförmigen Grundkörper geformt ist. Der Behälterkörper kann alternativ auch ein Abschnitt eines extrudierten Folienschlauches sein.The container body is preferably made of a film which is fin-shaped or lap-seal formed into a cylindrical, frusto-conical or tubular body. The container body may alternatively also be a section of an extruded film tube.
Der Behälterkörper, gegebenenfalls auch der Boden und die Abdeckfolie bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem Laminat, insbesondere Aluminiumlaminat, mit wenigstens einer Siegel- und gegebenenfalls wenigstens einer Barriereschicht, insbesondere aus SiO2, Ethylvinylalkohol oder einer Metallfolie.The container body, optionally also the bottom and the covering film, preferably consist of a laminate, in particular aluminum laminate, with at least one sealing layer and optionally at least one barrier layer, in particular SiO 2 , ethylvinyl alcohol or a metal foil.
Die Foliendicke liegt im Bereich von 50 µ bis 1000 µ, insbesondere 100 µ bis 500 µ, bevorzugt 150 µ bis 350 µ. Letztlich hängt die Foliendicke auch vom Inhalt und der Größe des Verpackungsbehälters ab.The film thickness is in the range of 50 μ to 1000 μ, in particular 100 μ to 500 μ, preferably 150 μ to 350 μ. Ultimately, the film thickness also depends on the content and size of the packaging container.
Der Boden des Verpackungsbehälters kann entweder topfförmig flach oder mit V- oder W-Falte ausgebildet und randseitig mit dem bodenseitigen Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers verklebt oder versiegelt sein. Hier bedient man sich herkömmlicher Techniken. Alternativ kann der Boden auch lediglich durch Ausbildung einer Quersiegelnaht verschlossen sein entsprechend dem Bodenverschluß einer Zahnpasta- oder dgl. -Tube.The bottom of the packaging container can either be cup-shaped flat or formed with V or W-fold and glued or sealed edge side with the bottom-side peripheral edge of the container body. Here one uses conventional techniques. Alternatively, the bottom can also be closed only by forming a transverse sealing seam corresponding to the bottom closure of a toothpaste or the like.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Boden jedoch aus einem relativ steifen bzw. formstabilen Material und ist als Standboden ausgebildet, so daß insgesamt ein dosenartiger Behälter entsteht, der sich durch einen relativ steifen Boden, eine relativ steife und formstabile Deckeleinrichtung sowie einen aus Verbundfolie hergestellten Behälterkörper auszeichnet. Derartige Behälter sind relativ leicht, einfach herzustellen, ausreichend formstabil und sicher zu öffnen sowie gegebenenfalls wieder zu verschließen. Sie können zur Aufbewahrung von flüssigen, pulverförmigen oder granulatartigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Nahrungsmittel, Getränke oder auch Arzneimittel dienen. Aufgrund der Flexibilität des Behälterkörpers bzw. aufgrund der einfachen Verformbarkeit der Verbundfolie, aus der der Behälterkörper hergestellt sein soll, lassen sich auch beliebig viele unterschiedliche Behälterformen herstellen. Auch ist eine Bedruckung der Behälter sehr einfach; es braucht lediglich die Verbundfolie entsprechend vorab bedruckt zu werden.Preferably, however, the floor consists of a relatively rigid or dimensionally stable material and is formed as a stand base, so that a total of a can-like container is formed, which is characterized by a relatively stiff bottom, a relatively rigid and dimensionally stable lid device and a container body made of composite film. Such containers are relatively lightweight, easy to produce, sufficiently dimensionally stable and safe to open and, if necessary, to close again. They can be used to store liquid, powdery or granular articles, in particular foods, drinks or even pharmaceuticals. Due to the flexibility of the container body or due to the simple deformability of the composite film from which the container body is to be made, can also be any number of different Create container shapes. Also, a printing of the container is very simple; it only needs the composite film to be pre-printed accordingly.
Ferner kann auch der Deckel aus einem relativ steifen bzw. formstabilen Material hergestellt sein, so daß der Deckel nach einem Öffnen des Behälters für weitere Verwendungszwecke, wie beispielsweise als Unterlage für den Behälter, geeignet ist.Furthermore, the lid can be made of a relatively rigid or dimensionally stable material, so that the lid after opening the container for other uses, such as a pad for the container, is suitable.
Vorzugsweise ist der relativ steife bzw. formstabile Boden und/oder Deckel durch Spritzgießen oder Tiefziehen hergestellt. Diese Herstellungsverfahren sind äußerst kostengünstig und eignen sich besonders gut für die Herstellung von großen Stückzahlen.Preferably, the relatively rigid or dimensionally stable bottom and / or lid is produced by injection molding or deep drawing. These manufacturing processes are extremely cost effective and are particularly well suited for the production of large quantities.
Erfindungsgemäß kann der den Boden und den Behälterkörper verbindende Abschnitt, d.h. der Standboden, mit einer stabilisierenden Strukturierung, insbesondere in Form von sich axial erstreckenden Rillen oder rippen versehen sein. Durch die Vorsehung solcher Rillen oder Rippen ist die Standfestigkeit eines derartigen erfindungsgemäßen Standbodens weiter verbessert, da diese wesentlich zur Steifheit und Formstabilität des Standbodens beitragen.According to the invention, the portion connecting the bottom and the container body, i. the floor, with a stabilizing structuring, in particular in the form of axially extending grooves or ribs be provided. By providing such grooves or ribs, the stability of such a floor according to the invention is further improved, since these contribute significantly to the rigidity and dimensional stability of the stand.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Deckel eine schräg abfallende Deckeloberseite und somit eine gewisse Höhenstreckung auf. Ferner kann der Deckel erfindungsgemäß kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei sich der Deckel nach oben verjüngt. Es sei erwähnt, daß eine Kombination der Merkmale einer schräg abfallenden Deckeloberseite und einer Verjüngung kombinierbar sind.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the lid has a sloping lid top and thus a certain height extension. Further, the lid according to the invention may be formed frusto-conical, with the lid tapers upwards. It should be noted that a combination of the features of a sloping top cover and a taper can be combined.
Die vorgenannten Ausführungsformen eignen sich gut für Behälter mit einem Deckel, dessen geneigte Oberseite beispielsweise für Werbezwecke zur Verfügung steht und dem Betrachter zur besseren Erkennbarkeit zugewandt ist. Dies ist insbesondere bei einer Aufstellung der Behälter in Verkaufsregalen von Vorteil, zumal ein solcher, dreidimensional gestalteter Deckel eine ungewöhnliche Deckelform aufweist und somit einen gewissen Blickfang darstellt.The aforementioned embodiments are well suited for containers with a lid whose inclined top is available, for example, for advertising purposes and faces the viewer for better visibility. This is particularly advantageous when installing the containers on store shelves, especially since such a three-dimensionally designed lid has an unusual lid shape and thus represents a certain eye-catching feature.
Ferner ist ein derart dreidimensional gestalteter Deckel mit einem Kegelstumpfkörper und einer schräg abfallenden Deckeloberseite nach seiner Entfernung von der Oberseite des Behälters auch als Standhilfe für den Behälter nutzbar, wobei der Behälter mit seinem Standboden, der vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise annähernd komplementär zu der Kegelstumpfform des Deckels ausgebildet ist, auf diesen aufgesetzt wird. Dies bedeutet mit anderen Worten, dass der Deckel so ausgebildet ist, dass er mit dem Standboden in Eingriff bringbar ist. Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die jeweiligen Deckel einen Dom aufweisen, durch den eine Stapelfunktion, sowohl der Deckel untereinander als auch der Behälter gewährleistet ist, so dass eine Stapelung der Behälter, beispielsweise in Verkaufsregalen, auf eine sichere Weise möglich ist.Further, such a three-dimensionally designed lid with a truncated cone body and a sloping lid top can be used as a stand aid for the container after its removal from the top of the container, the container with its bottom, preferably at least partially formed approximately complementary to the truncated cone shape of the lid is put on this. In other words, this means that the lid is designed so that it matches the floor in Intervention can be brought. Further, the invention provides that the respective lid have a dome, through which a stacking function, both the lid with each other and the container is guaranteed, so that a stacking of the container, for example, on store shelves, in a secure manner is possible.
Wie bereits vorerwähnt, kann der Boden entweder flach topfförmig oder mit einer V-oder W-Falte ausgebildet und randseitig mit dem bodenseitigen Umfangsrand des Behälterkörpers verklebt, verschweißt oder versiegelt sein. Dieser Umfangsrand, der üblicherweise zumindest als Teilstandfläche des Behälters dient, kommt durch das Aufsetzen des Behälters auf den Deckel in eine Schrägstellung, so daß nunmehr der gesamte Behälter eine leichte Schräglage aufweist. Selbstverständlich ist der Füllungsgrad des Behälters so bemessen, daß sich das Füllgut durch diese leichte Schräglage, insbesondere bei einem vollständig geöffneten Behälter, nicht aus diesem heraus ergießt.As already mentioned, the bottom can either be flat cup-shaped or formed with a V or W-fold and glued edge side with the bottom-side peripheral edge of the container body, welded or sealed. This peripheral edge, which usually serves at least as a partial footprint of the container, comes by placing the container on the lid in an inclined position, so that now the entire container has a slight inclination. Of course, the degree of filling of the container is dimensioned so that the filling material does not pour out of this slight skew, especially in a fully open container out of this.
Vollständigkeitshalber sei erwähnt, daß der Deckel entweder mit seiner Unterseite, gegebenenfalls aber auch mit seiner Oberseite auf einem Untergrund aufgesetzt werden kann und der Standboden des Behälters im Falle der Verwendung als Standhilfe mit dem Deckel innenseitig oder außenseitig in Eingriff steht, so daß der Behälter nicht von der Schräge des Deckels abrutschen kann.For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the lid can be placed either on its underside, but optionally also on its top side, and the bottom of the container, when used as a stand aid, is engaged with the lid on the inside or outside, so that the container does not can slip off the slope of the lid.
Es ist an dieser Stelle bevorzugt, daß der Umfangsrand des Deckels einen etwas größeren Außendurchmesser als der Standboden oder der obere Öffnungsrand aufweist, so daß der Deckel mit seiner ursprünglichen Oberseite nunmehr nach unten gerichtet auf eine Unterlage aufgestellt wird und der Behälter in einer Öffnung des Deckels zu stehen kommt und beispielsweise durch eine Lippe oder Leiste am nunmehr nach oben gerichteten Deckelumfangsrand gehalten wird.It is preferred at this point that the peripheral edge of the lid has a slightly larger outer diameter than the floor or top opening edge, so that the lid is now placed with its original top down on a base and the container in an opening of the lid comes to a standstill and is held for example by a lip or bar on the now upwardly directed lid peripheral edge.
Durch diese leichte Schrägstellung des geöffneten Behälters ist dessen Inhalt, insbesondere auch für kleinere Kinder leichter zugänglich; zudem kann besser in den Behälter hineingesehen werden.This slight inclination of the open container whose contents, especially for smaller children easier to access; In addition, it can be better seen in the container.
Ein ähnlicher Effekt kann dadurch erzielt werden, daß der Behälterkörper über den Umfang eine unterschiedliche Höhe aufweist, so daß die Behälteröffnung eines horizontal stehenden Behälters schräg abfallend verläuft. In diesem Fall ist der Deckel solcherart oval gestaltet, daß er zum Verschließen der Behälteröffnung geeignet ist.A similar effect can be achieved in that the container body has a different height over the circumference, so that the container opening of a horizontally standing container extends obliquely sloping. In this case, the lid is designed in such an oval shape that it is suitable for closing the container opening.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein zumindest um einen Teilabschnitt des Halses der Deckeleinrichtung aufschnappbarer und den Hals zumindest teilweise umgreifender Ringabschnitt oder Ring vorgesehen, der mit dem Deckel, insbesondere über ein Filmscharnier, verbunden ist.In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, a ring section or ring which can be snapped on at least around a section of the neck of the cover device and which surrounds the neck at least partially, is connected to the cover, in particular via a film hinge.
Der besondere Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß der Behälter zunächst gefüllt und mit einer Abdeckfolie verschlossen werden kann, bevor der Deckel mittels eines Rings oder eines den Hals zumindest teilweise umgreifenden Ringabschnitts an dem Behälter befestigt wird. Hier ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn die Deckeleinrichtung aus einem relativ steifen bzw. formstabilen Material hergestellt ist, wobei betont sei, daß nicht nur der Deckel, sondern auch die gesamte Deckeleinrichtung spritzgegossen oder tiefgezogen sein kann.The particular advantage of this embodiment is that the container can first be filled and sealed with a cover sheet before the lid is secured to the container by means of a ring or a ring portion at least partially surrounding the neck. Here it is of particular advantage if the lid device is made of a relatively stiff or dimensionally stable material, it being emphasized that not only the lid, but also the entire lid device can be injection-molded or deep-drawn.
Der Ringabschnitt oder der Ring werden um zumindest einen Teilabschnitt des Halses herumgelegt und auf diese Weise mit dem Behälter verbunden. Ein solchermaßen gestalteter Deckel mit den Hals zumindest teilweise umgreifender Befestigungseinrichtung kann abnehmbar sein, so daß der Deckel vom Endanwender für verschiedene Behälter verwendet werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Behälter auf kostengünstige Weise nur mit der Abdeckfolie zu verschließen. Der Deckel mit der den Hals zumindest teilweise umgreifenden Befestigungsvorrichtung kann somit vom Endanwender, je nach dessen Bedarf, zum Wiederverschließen eines geöffneten Behälters verwendet werden.The ring portion or ring are wrapped around at least a portion of the neck and thus connected to the container. Such a designed lid with the neck at least partially embracing attachment means may be removable, so that the lid can be used by the end user for various containers. In this way it is possible to close the container in a cost effective manner only with the cover. The lid with the neck at least partially embracing fastening device can thus be used by the end user, as needed, for reclosing an opened container.
Ferner liegt es im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens, den Deckel und die Abdeckfolie in trennbarer Weise miteinander zu verbinden, wobei der Deckel und/oder die Abdeckfolie miteinander versiegelt oder verklebt sind, wobei zumindest die Abschnitte des Deckels und der Abdeckfolie, die miteinander siegeln oder kleben, mit die Siegel- und/oder Klebefähigkeit herabsetzenden Substanzen des Siegel- oder Klebematerials versehen sind. Im Falle des Siegelmaterials Polyethylen können diese, die Siegelfähigkeit herabsetzenden Substanzen beispielsweise Polybutylen oder Polypropylen oder eine Mischung von beiden, insbesondere mit einer Beimischung von 20 Gew.-% Polybutylen zu Polypropylen sein. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, einen Deckel mit einer schwach anhaftenden Abdeckfolie herzustellen, die beim Verschließen des Behälters mit dem Öffnungsrand des Behälters in stärkerer Weise versiegelt oder verklebt als mit dem Deckel. Beim Öffnen des Behälters wird somit zunächst nur der Deckel entfernt, während die Abdeckfolie auf dem Öffnungsrand des Behälters, respektive dessen Deckeleinrichtung verbleibt und im Anschluß, beispielsweise mit Hilfe der Grifflasche die Abdeckfolie separat entfernt und der Behälter somit vollständig geöffnet werden kann.Furthermore, it is within the scope of the inventive idea to connect the cover and the cover in a separable manner, wherein the cover and / or the cover are sealed or glued together, wherein at least the portions of the lid and the cover, which seal or stick together, are provided with the sealing and / or adhesiveness degrading substances of the sealing or adhesive material. In the case of the sealing material polyethylene, these sealability reducing substances may be, for example, polybutylene or polypropylene or a mixture of both, in particular with an admixture of 20% by weight of polybutylene to polypropylene. In this way it is possible to produce a lid with a weakly adhering cover film, which seals or glues on sealing the container with the opening edge of the container in a stronger manner than with the lid. When opening the container thus only the lid is initially removed, while the cover remains on the opening edge of the container, respectively its lid means and subsequently removed, for example by means of the handle tab, the cover separately and the container can thus be fully opened.
Somit ist es möglich, eine Seite einer Abdeckfolie mit die Siegel- und/oder Klebefähigkeit herabsetzenden Substanzen zu versehen und auf diese Weise die Siegelfähigkeit der Abdeckfolie zu dieser Seite hin zu erniedrigen, während die Siegelfähigkeit auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Abdeckfolie voll erhalten ist, so daß die Abdeckfolie zwei Seiten mit unterschiedlicher Siegelfähigkeit, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Siegelfestigkeit, aufweist.Thus, it is possible to provide one side of a cover sheet with substances which lower the sealability and / or adhesiveness, and thus lower the sealability of the cover sheet to this side while fully maintaining the sealability on the opposite side of the cover sheet that the cover has two sides with different sealability, in particular with regard to the seal strength.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Deckel eine nach außen öffenbare und vor Gebrauch, vorzugsweise mit einer Folie verschlossene, insbesondere versiegelte, Vertiefung auf. In der Vertiefung kann ein Gegenstand, wie beispielsweise ein Löffel, Messer, Gabel oder dgl. Werkzeug oder Zugabe angeordnet sein. Das Werkzeug kann vorzugsweise klappbar oder zusammenfaltbar ausgebildet sein.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the lid has an opening which can be opened outwards and, in particular, sealed, before use, preferably closed with a film. In the recess, an object, such as a spoon, knife, fork or the like. Tool or addition can be arranged. The tool may preferably be formed foldable or collapsible.
Zum Gebrauch des Werkzeugs wird somit eine Abdeckfolie von der Oberseite des die Vertiefung aufweisenden Deckels abgezogen, so daß die Vertiefung mit dem darin befindlichen Gut zugänglich wird. Sodann kann der Deckel des Behälters geöffnet werden, so daß das Innere des Behälters zugänglich wird.For use of the tool thus a cover sheet is removed from the top of the recess having the lid, so that the recess is accessible with the material therein. Then, the lid of the container can be opened, so that the interior of the container is accessible.
Ferner kann der Deckel nach einem Entfernen des Deckels von der Oberseite des Behälters als Standhilfe für den Behälter dienen. Der Deckel weist vorzugsweise bei dieser Variante eine flächenmäßig größere Ausdehnung als der Behälterboden auf und ist mit einer Vertiefung, in welche der Behälterboden im wesentlichen paßgenau einsetzbar ist, versehen. Diese Ausführungsform ist vor allem zur Anwendung für kleinere Kinder bevorzugt, da ein Umwerfen oder Umkippen des Behälters aufgrund dessen nunmehr vergrößerter Standfläche deutlich erschwert ist. Nach Bedarf kann der Behälter selbst zusätzlich zu dessen Deckel mit einer Abdeckfolie versehen sein.Further, after removal of the lid from the top of the container, the lid may serve as a stand aid for the container. In this variant, the lid preferably has a larger area than the container bottom and is provided with a depression into which the container bottom can be inserted in an essentially registering manner. This embodiment is particularly preferred for use for smaller children, as overturning or overturning of the container is significantly more difficult due to its now enlarged footprint. If necessary, the container itself may be provided with a cover sheet in addition to its lid.
