Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Verpackung für Gegenstände, welche einen Anteil an Flüssigkeit aufweisen, mit einem flexiblen oder formstabilen Beutel, welcher zumindest teilweise aus einer Kunststofffolie besteht.The invention is based on a packaging for objects which have a proportion of liquid, with a flexible or dimensionally stable bag, which at least partially consists of a plastic film.

Zu derartigen Gegenständen zählen beispielsweise Nahrungsmittel oder sonstige Lebensmittel, Pflanzen oder Teile von Pflanzen sowie künstlich hergestellte Gegenstände. In auf Selbstbedienung gegründeten Einzelhandelsgeschäften werden Nahrungsmittel wie Fleisch, Fisch, Geflügel und Gemüse in abgepackten Portionen zum Verkauf angeboten. Als Verpackungen dienen beispielsweise Beutel aus zumindest teilweise durchsichtiger Kunststofffolie oder formstabile Schalen oder Tabletts, die mit einer transparenten Kunststofffolie abgedeckt sind. Die Behälter haben den Vorteil, dass der potentielle Käufer die entsprechend verpackten Waren betrachten kann und die für ihn wichtigen Eigenschaften der Ware einem Aufdruck auf der Verpackung entnehmen kann. Die Auswahl der Ware kann ohne die Betreuung eines Verkäufers erfolgen. Als Nachteil derartiger Verpackungen erweist sich, dass Lebensmittel wie Fleisch, Fisch, Geflügel und einige gekochte Gemüse Flüssigkeit absondern, die beim Betrachten der entsprechend verpackten Waren einen negativen visuellen Eindruck hinterlassen. Ferner wird durch den Kontakt der Flüssigkeit mit dem Nahrungsmittel das Wachstum von Bakterien in der Verpackung begünstigt. Um dem entgegen zu wirken, sind Absorbenskissen und Saugkörper bekannt, die unter die Ware in die Verpackung gelegt werden. Diese haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie dem Nahrungsmittel mehr Flüssigkeit entziehen als dieses von alleine absondern würde. Ferner bleibt überschüssige Flüssigkeit, die bei einer Sättigung des Absorbenskissens nicht aufgenommen wird, in Kontakt mit dem Nahrungsmittel. Darüber hinaus ist der Anblick eines mit Flüssigkeit gefüllten Saugkörpers für den Kunden unangenehmen, wenn er das Nahrungsmittels nach dem Öffnen der Verpackung aus dieser entnimmt. Da die aus dem Nahrungsmittel austretende Flüssigkeit in der Regel nicht farblos ist, ist sie in dem Saugkissen sichtbar. Aus der US-A-6 298 983 ist ein Beutel aus Kunststofffolie zur Aufbewahrung von Gegenständen bekannt, wobei der Beutel mit einem Flüssigkeit absorbierenden Steifen ausgestattet ist. Dieser Streifen ist in einem abgetrennten Bereich des Beutels angeordnet. Zur Abtrennung des Bereichs ist eine mit Öffnungen versehene, zusätzliche Lage als Abdeckung des Streifens vorgesehen. Bei der Herstellung eines Beutels wird ein Flüssigkeit absorbierender Streifen auf die ausgebreitete Kunststofffolie gelegt. Anschließend wird die Abdeckung über den Streifen gelegt und an der Kunststofffolie befestigt, so dass der Streifen Sandwich-artig zwischen der Kunststofffolie und der Abdeckung aufgenommen ist. Anschließend wird aus dieser Anordnung der Beutel geformt. Als nachteilig erweist sich, dass eine Abtrennung des Streifens vom übrigen Beutel nur durch eine zusätzliche Abdeckung erreicht wird, und dass die Abdeckung die Sicht auf das Innere des Beutels und auf einen in dem Beutel verpackten Gegenstand beeinträchtigt.Such items include, for example, foods or other foods, plants or parts of plants, and man-made objects. Self-service retailers sell food such as meat, fish, poultry and vegetables in packaged portions. For example, bags of at least partially transparent plastic film or dimensionally stable trays or trays covered with a transparent plastic film serve as packages. The containers have the advantage that the potential buyer can look at the correspondingly packaged goods and can take the important properties of the goods from them imprinted on the packaging. The selection of the goods can be done without the care of one Seller. As a disadvantage of such packaging proves that food such as meat, fish, poultry and some cooked vegetables secrete liquid that leave a negative visual impression when viewing the appropriately packaged goods. Furthermore, the contact of the liquid with the food favors the growth of bacteria in the packaging. To counteract this, absorbent pads and absorbent bodies are known, which are placed under the goods in the packaging. However, these have the disadvantage that they extract more liquid from the food than it would secrete on its own. In addition, excess liquid which is not absorbed when the absorbent pad is saturated remains in contact with the food. In addition, the sight of a liquid-filled absorbent body to the customer is unpleasant when he takes the food after opening the packaging from the latter. Since the liquid emerging from the food is usually not colorless, it is visible in the absorbent pad. From the US-A-6,298,983 a bag of plastic film for storing objects is known, wherein the bag is equipped with a liquid-absorbing strip. This strip is arranged in a separate area of the bag. To separate the area an apertured, additional layer is provided as a cover of the strip. In the manufacture of a bag, a liquid-absorbing strip is placed on the spread plastic film. Subsequently, the cover is placed over the strip and attached to the plastic film so that the strip is sandwiched between the plastic film and the cover. Subsequently, the bag is formed from this arrangement. It is disadvantageous that a separation of the strip from the remaining bag is achieved only by an additional cover, and that the cover affects the view of the inside of the bag and on an item packed in the bag.

Aus der US-A-4 861 632 ist ein mehrschichtiger Beutel zur Lagerung und zum Transport von Gegenständen bekannt. Vorder- und Rückseite des Beutels bestehen jeweils aus drei Lagen: eine äußere Schicht aus einem wasserundurchlässigen Material, eine mittlere Schicht aus einem Flüssigkeit oder Feuchtigkeit absorbierenden Material und eine innere Schicht, welche perforiert ist um Flüssigkeit und Feuchtigkeit passieren zu lassen. Als nachteilig erweist sich ein derartiger Beutel zur Verpackung von Gegenständen, welche in einem Selbstbedienungswarenhaus zum Verkauf angeboten werden. Der Kunde möchte derartige Gegenstände bei der Auswahl in Augenschein nehmen. Dies ist bei dem Beutel jedoch nicht möglich, da die verpackte Ware aufgrund des mehrschichtigen Aufbaus und der undurchsichtigen absorbierenden Schicht nicht einsehbar ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil des Beutels besteht darin, dass zur Abtrennung des absorbierenden Materials ein zusätzliche Abdeckung notwendig ist.From the U.S. Patent 4,861,632 is a multilayer bag for storing and transporting objects known. The front and back of the bag each consist of three layers: an outer layer of a water-impermeable material, a middle layer of a liquid or moisture-absorbing material, and an inner layer which is perforated to allow fluid and moisture to pass through. A disadvantage is such a bag for the packaging of items that are offered for sale in a self-service store. The customer wants to take such items in the selection in inspection. However, this is not possible with the bag because the packaged goods are not visible due to the multilayer structure and the opaque absorbent layer. Another disadvantage of the bag is that additional separation is necessary to separate the absorbent material.

Dem gegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung in Form eines flexiblen Beutels zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der ein direkter Kontakt zwischen dem zu verpackenden Gegenstand und dem saugfähigen Element oder einer das saugfähige Element abdeckenden Schicht eines zusätzlichen Materials vermieden wird.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a package in the form of a flexible bag, in which a direct contact between the object to be packaged and the absorbent element or a layer covering the absorbent element of an additional material is avoided.

Die Erfindung und ihre VorteileThe invention and its advantages

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass in der Verpackung zwei getrennte Bereiche vorgesehen sind. Ein erster Bereich dient der Aufnahme des zu verpackenden Gegenstands. Ein zweiter Bereich dient der Aufnahme eines saugfähigen Elements. Die beiden Bereiche sind durch eine Abtrennung voneinander getrennt, die nur teilweise flüssigkeitsdurchlässig ist. Die Abtrennung kann beispielsweise eine oder mehrere Öffnungen aufweisen, durch welche Flüssigkeit von dem ersten Bereich in den zweiten Bereich fließen kann. Durch eine vertikale Ausrichtung der Verpackung mit dem ersten Bereich und dem darin angeordneten Gegenstand nach oben und dem zweiten Bereich mit dem saugfähigen Element nach unten wird das Fließen der Flüssigkeit von dem ersten in den zweiten Bereich unterstützt. Die aus dem Gegenstand austretende Flüssigkeit gelangt unter Einwirkung der Gewichtskraft in den zweiten Bereich. Das Fließen der Flüssigkeit in die umgekehrte Richtung wird durch die Ausrichtung der Verpackung verhindert. Selbst bei einer horizontalen Ausrichtung der Verpackung ist das Fließen von Flüssigkeit aus dem zweiten in den ersten Bereich ausgeschlossen, da die Flüssigkeit in dem saugfähigen Element gebunden ist. Zum anderen kann das Zurückfließen dadurch reduziert werden, dass die für die Flüssigkeit vorgesehenen Öffnungen in der Abtrennung kleiner sind als die flüssigkeitsundurchlässigen Abschnitte.The packaging according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that two separate areas are provided in the package. A first area serves to receive the item to be packaged. A second area serves to receive an absorbent element. The two areas are separated by a separation, which is only partially liquid permeable. The separation can For example, have one or more openings through which liquid can flow from the first region into the second region. By vertically orienting the package with the first region and the article disposed therein upward and the second region with the absorbent element down, the flow of the liquid from the first to the second region is supported. The liquid emerging from the article passes under the action of the weight in the second region. The flow of the liquid in the reverse direction is prevented by the orientation of the package. Even with a horizontal orientation of the package, the flow of liquid from the second is excluded in the first area, since the liquid is bound in the absorbent element. On the other hand, the backflow can be reduced by the fact that the openings provided for the liquid in the separation are smaller than the liquid-impermeable portions.

Der Beutel hat den Vorteil, dass er an dem dem zweiten Bereich abgewandten Ende aufgehängt werden kann. Dadurch wird der Beutel vertikal ausgerichtet. Damit wird das Fließen der aus dem Gegenstand austretenden Flüssigkeit der Gewichtskraft folgend in Richtung des zweiten Bereichs unterstützt. Ferner hat diese Anordnung der Verpackung den Vorteil, dass die in der Verpackung enthaltenen Waren in einem Selbstbedienungswarenhaus aufgehängt und den Kunden präsentiert werden können.The bag has the advantage that it can be hung on the end facing away from the second region. This aligns the bag vertically. Thus, the flow of the liquid emerging from the article is supported by the weight force in the direction of the second region. Furthermore, this arrangement of the packaging has the advantage that the goods contained in the packaging can be hung in a self-service store and presented to the customer.

Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, die Abtrennung aus einem Material herzustellen, das Flüssigkeiten nur in einer Richtung passieren lässt. In diesem Fall kann zwar die Flüssigkeit aus dem ersten in den zweiten Bereich aber nicht von dem zweiten Bereich in den ersten Bereich zurückgelangen.In addition, it is possible to make the separation of a material that allows liquids to pass only in one direction. In this case, although the liquid from the first to the second area but not from the second area in the first area to get back.

Der Beutel besteht ganz oder teilweise aus Kunststoff, nämlich aus Kunststofffolie. Teile des Beutels können außerdem aus Metall, Pappe, Papier oder Verbundmaterialien bestehen. Grundbestandteil der Kunststoffe sind synthetische oder halbsynthetisch erzeugte Polymere mit organischen Gruppen. Es können auch biologisch abbaubare Kunststoffe, so genannte Biokunststoffe oder Bioplastik eingesetzt werden. Diese werden auf der Basis von nachwachsenden Rohstoffen wie Stärke, Öle, Polymilchsäure, Polyhydroxylbuttersäure oder Cellulose erzeugt.The bag is made wholly or partly of plastic, namely plastic film. Parts of the bag may also be made of metal, cardboard, paper or composite materials. The basic component of the plastics are synthetic or semisynthetically produced polymers with organic Groups. It is also possible to use biodegradable plastics, so-called bioplastics or bioplastics. These are produced on the basis of renewable raw materials such as starch, oils, polylactic acid, polyhydroxyl butyric acid or cellulose.

Das saugfähige Element enthält Fasern oder Faserzusammenstellungen beispielsweise aus Zellulose, Rayon, sonstige natürlich vorkommende Fasern oder synthetische Fasern. Die Fasern sind zu Watte, Tissue, Papier oder Vlies verarbeitet. So genannte Superabsorber, die zusätzlich in dem saugfähigen Element enthalten sind, können dessen Fähigkeit, Flüssigkeit zu speichern, steigern. Das saugfähige Element ist vorteilhafterweise an die Form des zweiten Bereichs oder Abschnitts des Beutels angepasst. Je größer das Volumen des saugfähigen Elements ist, um so mehr Flüssigkeit kann es aufnehmen und speichern.The absorbent element contains fibers or fiber compositions, for example of cellulose, rayon, other naturally occurring fibers or synthetic fibers. The fibers are made into cotton, tissue, paper or fleece. So-called superabsorbents, which are additionally contained in the absorbent element, can increase its ability to store liquid. The absorbent element is advantageously adapted to the shape of the second region or portion of the bag. The larger the volume of the absorbent element, the more liquid it can absorb and store.

Die Abtrennung besteht aus mehreren Abschnitten einer Fügeverbindung zwischen dem Kunststoff einerseits und dem übrigen Beutel andererseits, welcher ebenfalls aus Kunststoff bestehen kann. Die Fügeverbindung verläuft dabei entlang einer geraden Linie. Zwischen zwei Abschnitten mit Fügeverbindung ist ein Abschnitt ohne Fügeverbindung vorgesehen. Durch diese offenen Abschnitte kann Flüssigkeit hindurch treten.The separation consists of several sections of a joint connection between the plastic on the one hand and the remaining bag on the other hand, which may also consist of plastic. The joint connection runs along a straight line. Between two sections with joint connection, a section without joint connection is provided. Liquid can pass through these open sections.

Die Fügeverbindung wird durch Schweißen erzielt. Beim Schweißen wird das betreffende Material, in diesem Fall der Kunststoff aufgeschmolzen. Daher kommen für dieses Verfahren nur Thermoplaste in Frage. Das Schweißen kann durch Heizelementschweißen, Warmgasschweißen, Hochfrequenzschweißen, Strahlungsschweißen oder Reibungsschweißen erfolgen. Im Unterschied dazu können auch Duroplaste oder Elastomere geklebt werden. Bei der Verwendung des Klebstoffs ist lediglich darauf zu achten, dass dieser die Qualität des zu verpackenden Gegenstands, beispielsweise des Lebensmittels nicht beeinträchtigt.The joint connection is achieved by welding. During welding, the material in question, in this case the plastic is melted. Therefore, only thermoplastics come into question for this process. Welding can be done by hot plate welding, hot gas welding, high frequency welding, radiation welding or friction welding. In contrast, thermosets or elastomers can also be glued. When using the adhesive, care must be taken to ensure that the quality of the packaging article, such as the food.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Abtrennung aus einem zusätzlichen Abtrennungselement, das fest mit dem Beutel verbunden ist. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Stück Kunststofffolie handeln, das mehrere Öffnungen aufweist, oder um ein Stück eines Materials, das Flüssigkeit nur in einer Richtung passieren lässt. Dieses Abtrennungselement ist fest mit dem Beutel verbunden, um den ersten und den zweiten Bereich voneinander zu trennen. Das Abtrennungselement kann auch das saugfähige Element an einer oder mehreren Seiten umgeben.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the separation of an additional separation element, which is firmly connected to the bag. This may be, for example, a piece of plastic film having a plurality of openings, or a piece of material that allows liquid to pass only in one direction. This separation element is fixedly connected to the bag to separate the first and the second area from each other. The separation element may also surround the absorbent element on one or more sides.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der zweite Bereich am Rand des Beutels angeordnet. Der zweite Bereich kann sich entlang eines Randes oder mehrerer Ränder des Beutels erstrecken. Es kann sich bei dem Rand oder den Rändern um eine oder mehrere Seiten oder ein oder mehrere Enden des Beutels handeln. Wesentlich ist, dass der zweite Bereich nicht in der Mitte des Beutels angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass die Verpackung mit dem zweiten Bereich zumindest teilweise an der nach unten weisenden Seite ausgerichtet werden kann. Eine derartige Ausrichtung ist wichtig, damit die aus dem Gegenstand austretende Flüssigkeit von dem ersten in den zweiten Bereich gelangen und von dem saugfähigen Element aufgenommen werden kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second region is arranged on the edge of the bag. The second region may extend along one or more edges of the bag. The edge or edges may be one or more sides or one or more ends of the bag. It is essential that the second area is not located in the middle of the bag. This ensures that the package can be aligned with the second area at least partially on the downwardly facing side. Such alignment is important to allow the liquid exiting the article to pass from the first to the second region and be received by the bibulous element.

Der Beutel besteht vollständig aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff, nämlich einer Kunststofffolie. Derartige Verpackungen zeichnen sich durch ihr geringes Gewicht und ihre hohe Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Anpassung an die zu verpackenden Gegenstände aus.The bag is made entirely of a flexible plastic, namely a plastic film. Such packages are characterized by their low weight and high flexibility in terms of adaptation to the objects to be packaged.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der zweite Bereich zumindest teilweise mit einer undurchsichtigen Abdeckung oder Beschichtung ausgestattet. Dadurch wird der Einblick in den zweiten Bereich, das dort angeordnete saugfähige Element und eine eventuell dort befindliche Flüssigkeit verhindert. Ein negativer Eindruck des potentiellen Käufers von der Verpackung wird dadurch vermieden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second area is at least partially with an opaque cover or Coating equipped. This prevents the view into the second area, the absorbent element arranged there and any liquid located there. A negative impression of the potential buyer of the packaging is thereby avoided.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung füllt das saugfähige Element den zweiten Bereich der Verpackung zu mehr als 80% aus. Damit nimmt das saugfähige Element den größtmöglichen Raum in dem zweiten Bereich ein. Je größer das Volumen eines saugfähigen Elements ist, um so mehr Flüssigkeit kann es aufnehmen. Darüber hinaus hängt die Fähigkeit, Flüssigkeit aufzunehmen und zu speichern vom Material des saugfähigen Elements ab.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the absorbent element fills the second region of the packaging to more than 80%. Thus, the absorbent element occupies the largest possible space in the second area. The larger the volume of an absorbent element, the more liquid it can absorb. In addition, the ability to pick up and store liquid depends on the material of the absorbent element.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following description, the drawings and the claims.

Entlang dieser Linie wechseln sich Abschnitte, in denen die beiden Kunststofffolien, welche die Vorder- und Rückseite des Beutels 1 bilden, miteinander verschweißt sind mit Abschnitten ab, die nicht verschweißt sind. In dem ersten Abschnitt ist ein Nahrungsmittel 9 angeordnet. In dem zweiten Bereich ist ein saugfähiges Element 10 in Form eines rechteckigen Kissens angeordnet. Die nicht verschweißten Abschnitte der Abtrennung 8 bilden Öffnungen, durch die Flüssigkeit, die aus dem Nahrungsmittel 9 austritt, von dem ersten Bereich 2 in den zweiten Bereich 3 fließen kann um dort von dem saugfähigen Element 10 aufgenommen zu werden. Das Fließen der Flüssigkeit von dem ersten in den zweiten Bereich wird durch die Gewichtskraft unterstützt, wenn die Verpackung, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, mit dem ersten Bereich 2 nach oben und dem zweiten Bereich 3 nach unten ausgerichtet ist. FIG. 1 shows a packaging of a flexible bag 1 of plastic film with a first region 2 and a second region 3. Flexible bags are also referred to as bags. The plastic film forms the back and the front of the flexible bag 1. back and Front are welded together at the edges 4, 5, 6 and 7. The welded joint is liquid and airtight. The first area 2 and the second area 3 are delimited by a partition 8 against each other. The separation runs along a straight line. Along this line alternate sections in which the two plastic films which form the front and back of the bag 1 are welded together with sections that are not welded. In the first section, a food 9 is arranged. In the second region, an absorbent element 10 is arranged in the form of a rectangular pad. The non-welded portions of the partition 8 form openings through which liquid emerging from the food 9 can flow from the first area 2 into the second area 3 to be picked up by the absorbent element 10 there. The flow of the liquid from the first to the second region is assisted by the weight force when the packaging, as in FIG. 1 represented, with the first region 2 upwards and the second region 3 is oriented downward.

Sämtliche Merkmale können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebiger Kombination miteinander efindungswesentlich sein.All features can be essential to the invention both individually and in any desired combination.
