Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spout for liquid containers with an outlet opening, in particular bottles, wherein the spout has an elastic and flexible sheet material which is rollable for use to be inserted as a sleeve-shaped roll in the outlet opening of the liquid container, wherein the sheet material is a smooth and comprises low surface adhesion to liquids having top and the contour of the sheet material is sharp-edged.
  • the invention further relates to a spout-liquid container combination.
  • Such a spout is eg from the document WO 92/05080 known and has been proven on the market for several years.
  • the spout allows a drop-free pouring of a liquid from a liquid container, in particular a bottle, when it is inserted into the outlet opening of the liquid container in a sleeve-shaped rolled state by guided during pouring the liquid jet over the sharp edge of the spout and at the end of pouring the liquid jet is effectively cut off when the pouring is completed by the liquid container is returned to the upright position.
  • the cutting off of the jet of liquid at the sharp edge of the spout prevents the formation of drops on the edge that would otherwise run down the outside of the liquid container.
  • a disadvantage of this known spout is the fact that it is kept separately from the liquid container, is usually also supplied in separate packaging. This leads to inconvenience for the user when, when using the spout, for example, to open a liquid container in the form of a wine bottle and pour out the wine, he must first fetch and prepare a spout from its storage location. It has been found that if the spout is not readily available, in many cases for convenience it is dispensed with. Furthermore, the spouts are often lost because they are flat, small structures.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing a spout of the type described in such a way that it can be glued to the outside of a liquid container for later use, without damaged when removing the sharp-edged contour and the operation of the spout so is impaired or without the appearance of the spout is impaired.
  • the present invention achieves the stated object by providing a spout with the characterizing features of claim 1 and by providing a spout-liquid container combination with the characterizing features of claim 12.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the subclaims and the description below.
  • the sheet material has an underside which is opposite to the top side and onto which an adhesive layer is applied at least in sections which can be removed from the underside of the sheet material substantially residue-free after curing of the adhesive.
  • the spout is preferably distributed in combination with a liquid container having an outlet opening, in particular a bottle, the spout being glued to a surface of the liquid container and being detachable from the surface of the liquid container for use, the adhesive layer being substantially complete upon detachment of the spout remains on the surface of the liquid container.
  • a semifinished product by applying the adhesive to sheets or rolls of the sheet material and covering it with a carrier layer, then to print this semi-finished product and to provide it with a coating layer and then to punch out the spouts in the desired shape, so that the contour has a sharp-edged shape.
  • a composite foil of the sheet material can be produced, to which the adhesive layer is later applied, for example by printing, and then to perform the punching, thus making the production of the To complete spout and later attach the spout on a liquid container or on another substrate, such as a magazine page, where it can be removed after curing by a user without the contour of the spout and thus its function is impaired.
  • the inventive selection of the adhesive ensures at the same time that when removing the spout of the adhesive residue is removed from the underside of the sheet material of the spout and remains on the surface of the liquid container. Since it is already cured, the adhesive can not undergo any further adhesive connection, so that its remaining on the liquid container is not disturbing.
  • This residue-free detachment of the adhesive from the spout during removal is an essential element of the invention, since remaining residues on the one hand would promote the formation of drops and on the other hand would make the spout for use in connection with drinking liquids undesirable.
  • an acrylate adhesive preferably a water-based acrylate adhesive
  • the spouts according to the invention can be used for many liquids and filling methods, if the adhesive has an operating temperature between 0 ° C and 70 ° C, preferably between -20 ° C and 100 ° C.
  • an adhesive which is food-safe and in particular harmless for direct contact with liquid foods.
  • an adhesive which is a permanently adhesive type of adhesive.
  • Permanent adhesive is an adhesive that forms a solid layer between the spout and the surface of the liquid container after curing, which remains when removing the spout as a permanent adhesive layer on the surface of the liquid container, which is why it is also preferred for optical reasons that this glue is clear.
  • Such a permanent adhesive differs from the known volatile adhesive compounds in that the latter form only a temporary adhesive bond, which is subtracted from both substrates to be joined and must be disposed of as waste.
  • the bottom of the sheet material has a smooth surface that has a low Has surface adhesion to liquids.
  • the underside of the sheet material is formed by a base layer, which has a PET film, optionally vapor-deposited with metal, or a paper layer, optionally with a liquid-repellent coating.
  • a base layer which has a PET film, optionally vapor-deposited with metal, or a paper layer, optionally with a liquid-repellent coating.
  • These materials provide a smooth surface from which the cured adhesive layer can be easily removed.
  • On the base layer is advantageously arranged a printing layer which makes it possible to obtain information such as e.g. Application notes or advertising, to show.
  • a transparent, moisture-repellent coating layer which preferably comprises a transparent hot stamping film or a varnish layer.
  • the adhesive layer is covered by a carrier layer which is removable for the purpose of gluing the spout onto a substrate is.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a spout 1 according to the invention in a greatly enlarged view of the thickness direction.
  • the spout 1 comprises an elastic and flexible sheet material 2 which is rollable for use as in Fig. 7 shown to be used as a sleeve-shaped roller in the outlet opening of a liquid container, such as in the outlet opening 11 of a bottle neck 12 of a bottle 10, the in Fig. 2 in plan view and in Fig. 8 is shown in perspective, where Fig. 8 shows the operation of inserting the spout 1.
  • the spout 1 according to the invention has an upper side 9 and a lower side 4a of the sheet material 2.
  • the underside 4a of the sheet material 2 is formed by a base layer 4 which comprises a PET film, optionally vapor-deposited with metal, or a paper layer, optionally with a liquid-repellent coating.
  • a base layer 4 which comprises a PET film, optionally vapor-deposited with metal, or a paper layer, optionally with a liquid-repellent coating.
  • a printing layer 5 is arranged for any kind of graphic information.
  • a transparent, moisture-repellent coating layer 6 is applied, which preferably comprises a transparent hot stamping foil or a lacquer layer. This coating layer 6 forms the upper side 9 of the sheet material 2 of the spout 1.
  • Both the top 9 and the bottom 4a of the sheet material 2 of the spout 1 are smooth and have little surface adhesion to the liquids in the bottle 10, e.g. Wine, up.
  • the sheet material 2 in the form of sheets or rolls of composite sheet from which the spouts are punched or cut in a desired contour to produce the sharpest possible edge of the contour 8.
  • the shape of the spout is not restricted and may include, for example, round shapes or basic polygon shapes. Examples of shapes of spouts according to the invention are shown in FIGS FIGS. 3 to 6 shown in plan view.
  • Fig. 3 shows the spout 1 with elliptical contour.
  • Fig. 4 shows a circular spout 20.
  • Fig. 5 shows a spout 21 with composed of circular arcs contour.
  • Fig. 6 shows a spout 22 with a contour in the form of a rectangle with cut corners.
  • a layer of an adhesive 3 is applied on the underside 4a of the sheet material 2 at least in sections, even in the illustrated embodiment, which is an adhesive which, after hardening, can be removed substantially free of residue from the underside 4a of the sheet material 2 is.
  • the application of the adhesive 3 to the underside 4a may be carried out by common methods, e.g. Printing, spraying, brushing etc. done. It should be noted that the application of the adhesive 3 to the bottom 4a of the sheet material 2 may be made before or after the spout shape has been punched or cut out.
  • the adhesive is still coated with a carrier layer 7, e.g. plastic or paper, to prevent the adhesive from sticking to other objects before the spout 1 is adhered to the liquid container or other substrates. This carrier layer 7 is best removed from the adhesive layer 3 only just prior to the gluing of the spout 1.
  • the adhesive 3 is preferred to first produce a semifinished product by applying the adhesive 3 to sheets or rolls of the base layer 4 and covering it with the carrier layer 7.
  • This semi-finished product can be stored and transported.
  • the semifinished product is provided with a printing layer 5 and a coating layer 6, thereby completing the sheet material 2.
  • the spouts 1 are punched out of the sheet material 2 in the desired shape.
  • the after curing substantially residue-free from the bottom 4a of the sheet material 2 removable adhesive 3 is in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a water-based acrylate adhesive, an operating temperature between 0 ° C and 70 ° C, preferably between -20 ° C and 100 ° C. , having. It is further envisaged to use a food-safe adhesive, which is safe for direct contact with liquid foods. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a permanent adhesive, preferably clear adhesive.
  • Fig. 2 shows in plan view a liquid container in the form of a bottle 10, on the surface 13 of a pour spout 1 according to the invention is glued, wherein the adhesive 3 is cured after a few hours.
  • the adhesive 3 dissolves without residue from the bottom 4a of the sheet material 2, or in other words, remains as a permanent adhesive layer completely on the surface 13 of the bottle 10 back.
  • the detached spout 1 assumes a flat configuration and now has two smooth surfaces, namely the top 9 and bottom 4a, which have little surface adhesion to the liquid in the bottle 10. It is essential that the Adhesive 3 has a higher adhesion with respect to the substrate, here glass, than with respect to the material of the underside 4 a of the sheet material 2 of the spout 1.
  • the thickness of the sheet material 2 is selected according to the desired inherent stiffness of the sheet material and is usually in the tenths of a millimeter range, but not limited to these values. Rather, the skilled person chooses a thickness such that the curled spout 1 tends to unroll in the outlet opening 11 with sufficient force against the inner wall of the outlet opening 11 to create a substantially tight connection between the spout and said interior wall.
