Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pack, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, for containing at least two hygiene products, in particular for containing at least two toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, household towel rolls, individual packs of handkerchiefs or other tissue paper products, in particular uncompressed hygiene products.
  • the packs are usually made such that an appropriate number of hygiene products can be retailed to the customer.
  • rolls of toilet paper are often supplied to the end customer in packs of 1x2, 2x2, 2x5, 2x4, 3x3, 4x3 or 4x5 rolls.
  • the rolls are arranged in these packs in single, double or triple layer arrangements such that the respective winding axes of the toilet paper rolls of a layer are situated in the plane defined by the layer and the winding axes are substantially parallel to one another.
  • the winding axes of the toilet paper rolls of one layer are parallel to one another but extend substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the layer such that the winding axes represent the nodes of a substantially perpendicular grid.
  • 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.
  • Handkerchiefs in particular tissue handkerchiefs, are typically distributed in small flexible packs containing five to ten single handkerchiefs. However, other numbers between three and 25 single handkerchiefs, and even higher numbers of handkerchiefs, are also used. These small packs, referred to as individual packs in the following, are very convenient for the customer to use and to carry. However, at least in supermarkets and retail markets the individual packs of handkerchiefs are not sold singly, but in packs of a plurality of individual packs. One example of an individual pack used for tissue handkerchiefs is disclosed in DE 41 21 914 A1 .
  • the pack sizes of individual packs of handkerchiefs retailed to the end customer are typically in arrangements of 2x2, 2x5, 2x3x5 or other typical configurations, depending on the outer appearance the tissue handkerchief manufacturer aims to achieve. However, it is customary in these distribution packs to fill at least two layers of individual packs of handkerchiefs on top of one another. Three and more layers 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.
  • All the packs mentioned above have in common that they are used to distribute a plurality of hygiene products, in particular rolls of toilet paper, rolls of household towels, kitchen towels or individual handkerchief packs.
  • the packs used for distribution and for retailing the hygiene products need to be opened by the end consumer.
  • the end consumer opens the distribution package by ripping/tearing it open wherein the end customer typically uses its hands or fingers to pierce through the plastic film material at a random position, then tears the pack open and withdraws the intended number of hygiene products. This tearing open results in a pack that is untidily torn open at a random point and in which the hygiene products are scattered around in an untidy manner.
  • the package Even rips apart completely, bearing the risk that the hygiene products fall out and possibly come into contact with the floor with the inherent risk of contamination. In many cases, the packaging is also torn open in the region of lettering or printing and, thus, any product information or information with respect to expiry dates is lost.
  • US 2002/0112982 A1 discloses a flexible pack for containing articles.
  • a handle for carrying and ripping open the pack is disclosed.
  • this handle is provided in an asymmetric position on the pack such that the pack cannot be easily carried.
  • a pack for containing at least two hygiene products in particular at least two uncompressed toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, household towel rolls, individual packs of handkerchiefs or other tissue paper products.
  • the pack comprises a packaging for containing the hygiene products and an opening section defined in the packaging for defining an opening for removing hygiene products.
  • a handle having a first section attached to the opening section and a second section attached to the packaging in an area outside the opening section is provided.
  • the provision of the handle in this configuration enables the end customer to carry the pack conveniently by using the handle. If it comes to opening the pack, the end customer may use the first section of the handle to open the pack in the opening section in order to withdraw/remove single hygiene products from the packaging.
  • This double function of the handle thus provided is very convenient and has many advantages.
  • using a single handle for the two functions results in less material that needs to be processed, compared to a situation in which a separate handle for carrying and for opening the pack are provided.
  • the specific arrangement of the handle also enables the end customer to conveniently carry the package as there is less risk of accidental opening the pack compared to a situation of holding to a handle that is only attached to an opening section.
  • the pack may hang more balanced on the handle when it is carried, as the first and second sections of the handle are attached to positions spaced apart from one another.
  • the specific concept of providing a handle that is, in a first section, attached to the opening section but is, in a second section, attached to the packaging outside the opening section, provides a flexible pack which can easily be carried, in particular by elderly people, as the handle can be situated such that the pack is well balanced. This enables elderly people to carry the flexible pack, e.g. over the shoulders or aids simply in lifting the pack.
  • section of the handle attached to the opening section can be used in aiding during opening of the pack such that the opening section can be easily opened, in particular by elderly people.
  • the opening section can be defined in the packaging with a reduced opening force.
  • the opening section can be designed such that opening of the pack is made easier.
  • Bags provide 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.
  • wrappers 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 for the packaging in particular for a bag or a wrapper, it is preferred to use polypropylene films, polyethylene films, starch based films, biodegradable films and/or material mixtures thereof. In other embodiments it is envisaged to use a paper material as the packaging. 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, individual packs of handkerchiefs, napkins, facials, hand wiping towels, folded and unfolded tissue paper, object wiping rolls and any other suitable hygiene product for personal hygiene or for object wiping and cleaning. It will be appreciated that also the comparatively big rolls and packs 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 a individual packaging, in particular in the form of individual rolls wrapped in paper or in a plastic film material.
  • the handle is a separate element attached to the packaging.
  • the handle can be placed very flexibly to the packaging, resulting in improved carrying/wearing comfort and improved opening characteristics.
  • the handle may also be made from a material different from the material of the packaging in order to accommodate for the specific needs of the handle.
  • the handle may have a higher tearing resistance than the packaging material itself, resulting in a secure function of the handle, in particular as the handle has typically quite small lateral dimensions.
  • the handle could be formed of a combination of a paper and a scotch tape-like strip.
  • the opening section may be defined by lines of weakness in the packaging, in particular by perforation lines, in order to enable an easy opening process.
  • the provision of lines of weakness by perforation lines is a cost efficient way of defining an opening section.
  • the perforation lines may be provided in the form of circular, triangular, rectangular, oval and/or wavy openings and may be provided as single, double or multi perforation lines.
  • the opening section may comprise a hinge portion for keeping the opened opening section connected to the packaging. This embodiment also enables an easy re-closing of the packaging once the desired amount of hygiene products has been withdrawn from the packaging.
  • a hinge portion is not at all provided such that the opening section can be completely removed from the remainder of the packaging, leaving one section of the handle fixedly attached to the packaging and the other section free.
  • the perforation may extend completely around the opening section.
  • the opening section has dimensions allowing the withdrawal of a single one of the hygiene products through the resulting opening.
  • a specific appearance of the pack results when the first section and the second section of the handle are attached to the same wall of the packaging.
  • This wall is typically the top wall of the pack such that the pack can be carried easily and opened in an opening section situated on the top wall aided by the handle.
  • the first section and the second section of the handle are attached to two separate walls of the packaging, the walls being situated opposite to one another and are substantially parallel to one another.
  • a handle design resembling that of a handbag results, which can be advantageous from a stability point of view.
  • This feature in combination with the proper arrangement of a hinge section at the opening section on an edge opposite the direction in which the carrying force is directed leads to a pack that can be easily carried without the risk of accidental opening of the pack during carrying, but which can be opened easily by using the handle.
  • the hinge section is preferably placed in a position of the opening section opposite the direction towards the second section of the handle.
  • a third section of the handle is attached to the packaging, resulting basically in two separate loops of the handle. Since the third section is attached to the packaging in an area outside the opening section, a first loop that is completely connected to the fixed sections of the packaging, and a second loop that is connected to the opening section are provided. The first loop can be used for carrying the pack safely, wherein the second loop can also be used for opening the pack.
  • first section, second section and/or third section of the handle can be situated on the bottom wall of the packaging, even though this is not shown in the Figures.
  • opening section which may also be defined in the bottom wall of the packaging or may have at least portions extending into the bottom wall.
  • two separate handle segments are used that are joined to the packaging in different positions.
  • the pack has a re-closable tab, in particular a re-closable strip of adhesive material or a re-closable strip of mechanically attachable material, such as Velcro, a button, a snap fastener or a zipper, in order to re-close the opening section after opening.
  • a re-closable tab in particular a re-closable strip of adhesive material or a re-closable strip of mechanically attachable material, such as Velcro, a button, a snap fastener or a zipper, in order to re-close the opening section after opening.
  • an opening mechanism of the opening section is identified by a colour coding of the packaging.
  • the pack is a distribution pack for distributing a plurality of hygiene products to the end customer.
  • the opening section is defined by a line of weakness that tears open when the packaging is held only at the first section of the handle due to the own weight of the pack.
  • Figure 1 shows a pack 1 for hygiene products 100, the hygiene products being shown schematically in Figure 1 in the form of four household towel rolls.
  • the pack 1 comprises a packaging 2 for containing the hygiene products 100, such that the packaging 2 completely encloses the hygiene products 100 and provides the volume for containing the hygiene products.
  • the packaging 2 has typically two main walls 20, two side walls 22, a top wall 24 and a bottom wall 26.
  • the two main walls 20 and the two side walls 22 are typically situated opposite to one another and basically parallel to one another, respectively.
  • the packaging 2 in this embodiment may be provided in the form of a wrapped film or in the form of a pre-fabricated bag.
  • An opening section 3 is provided in the packaging 2 in an upper corner of the packaging 2.
  • the upper corner is defined such that the opening section 3 includes at least sections of main walls 20, one side wall 22 and the top wall 24. Nevertheless, depending on the orientation of the pack 1, the opening section 3 could also be situated in a different position. However, it is convenient for the consumer that the opening section 3 is provided in a corner position of the packaging 2. This is in particular the case as the opening section 3 permits then easy access to the hygiene products 100 contained within the packaging 2 from one end of the contents of the packaging and the remaining hygiene products 100 within the packaging 2 may retain their initial tidy arrangement.
  • the opening section 3 is typically defined in the packaging 2 by lines of weakness, shown in Figure 1 by a perforation 30 in the main wall 20.
  • Another section of the perforation 32 extends through the top wall 24 of the packaging 2 and it is understood that a perforation similar to the perforation 30 shown in Figure 1 is also present in the opposite main wall 20.
  • the perforation 30 of the opening section 3 does not, however, extend through the side wall 22. This leaves a section of the side wall 22 intact, such that the opening section 3 is hinged to the side wall 22 in its opened position.
  • This is shown, e.g., in Figure 2 , in which the lid-shaped opening section 3 is opened and basically hinged in a hinge position 34 to the side wall such that the opening section 3 cannot be removed from the packaging 2.
  • the perforation could also be provided such that the opening section can be completely removed. In other words, the perforation extends completely around the opening section.
  • a handle 4 is present, having a first section 40, which is attached to the opening section 3, and a second section 42, which is attached to the packaging in an area outside the opening section 3, as can be seen in the bottom wall 26 in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the handle extends from the opening section 3 to the bottom wall 26.
  • the handle 4 is made from a separate piece of material and may be provided from a material that is different from the film material of the packaging 2.
  • the handle 4 can be used to carry the pack 1 easily. However, as can be appreciated from Figure 2 , the handle 4 can also be used for opening the opening section 3 by pulling the handle 4 at its first section 40 basically in the direction of the arrow 400.
  • the handle 4 has at least the double function of being usable for carrying the pack 1 from the supermarket to the home of the end customer and to help the end customer opening the opening section 3 when the hygiene products 100 are to be withdrawn from the pack 1.
  • Another beneficial function of the handle is that the end customer may hang up the pack 1 with the remaining hygiene products 100 contained therein, in order to provide a secure, tidy and hygienically unobjectionable form of storage of the opened and unopened packs.
  • the lines of weakness 30 and 32 that are used to define the opening section 3, can be made such that they tear open relatively easy, e.g. by adjusting the step width of the openings, as not the total weight of the pack 1 and the hygiene products 100 rests on the section 40 but this weight is distributed between the first handle section 40 and the second handle section 42. Accordingly, it is possible to design the opening section 3, and in particular the lines of weakness 30, 32, such that it can be more easily opened.
  • the pack 1 can still be carried by using the handle 4 when the opening section 3 is in the opened position.
  • the pack can still be carried, using the handle 4, in particular also because the opening section 3 and the resulting opening are provided on an end of the pack 1 which ensures that the hygiene products 100 remaining in the pack do not fall out of the opening due to gravity.
  • Figure 3 shows a pack 1 with a packaging 2 in which the arrangement of the handle 4 as well as the design of the opening section 3 is slightly different from that described with respect to Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the handle 4 is attached to the top wall 24 of the packaging 2 only.
  • the opening section 3 is defined by a perforation 30 in the main wall 20, another perforation 32 in one of the side walls 22 and it is understood that the perforation 30 is also present in the opposite main wall 20.
  • a hinging portion 34 is present in the top wall 24, a hinging portion 34 is present. The hinging portion is provided by omitting a perforation in this section of the material such that the packaging material remains intact. Accordingly, the opening section 3 opens, as it is shown in Figure 4 , upwards by pivoting around hinging section 34.
  • the handle 4 is attached in a first section 40 to the opening section 3 and in a second section 42 in an area outside the opening section 3 but still on the top wall 24 of the packaging 2.
  • an indication of the opening mechanism of the opening section 3 is colour coded on the packaging 2 in order to enable an easy opening.
  • a colour coding may be achieved e.g. by printing icons on the packaging 2.
  • FIGs 5 and 6 another pack 1 is shown.
  • the hygiene products 100 are shown as single handkerchief packs, wherein each of these single handkerchief packs may contain five or ten tissue paper handkerchiefs.
  • the structure of the packaging 2 of the pack 1 of figures 5 and 6 is similar to the packaging 2 shown in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the opening section 3 is, again, provided by a perforation 30 in the main wall 20 and another perforation 32 in the side wall 22.
  • the perforation 30 also extends in the opposite side wall 20.
  • a hinging portion 34 is also present, around which the opening section 3 is pivoted in the opened state, as can be seen in Figure 6 .
  • the handle 4 is attached to the opening section 3 in its first section 40 in the area of the side wall 22.
  • the second section 42 of the handle 4 is, consequently, attached to the opposite side wall 22.
  • this leads to a pack 1, which can be easily opened by pulling the handle 1 at the first section 40 and can be used for carrying the pack 1 easily, wherein the lines of weakness or perforations 30, 32 of the opening section 3 can be designed such that they can be opened more easily than the ones known in the state of the art.
  • FIGs 7 and 8 an embodiment of the invention is shown. It will be appreciated that the form of the packaging 2 of pack 1 is basically identical to that shown and described with respect to Figures 5 and 6 .
  • the opening section 3 defined by the perforations 30 and 32 as well as by the hinging portion 34 is designed basically identical to that shown in Figures 5 and 6 .
  • Handle 4 is, in its first section 40, attached to the side wall 22 within the opening section 3.
  • the second section 42 of handle 4 is attached to the opposite side wall 22.
  • a middle section or third section 44, of the handle 4 is also attached to the packaging 2 but to the top wall 24.
  • the third section 44 of the handle 4 is attached in an area outside the opening section on the top wall 24.
  • the first loop of the handle 4 that is defined between the first section 40 and the third section 44, can be used to easily open the opening section 3 or packaging 2 in order to be able to withdraw hygiene products 100 from packaging 2.
  • the second loop of handle 4 remains even in the opened position of the opening section 4 in an unchanged state.
  • the second loop of the handle 4, which extends between the second section 42 and the third section 44 of the handle 4, does not change in this arrangement.
  • first loop of the handle and the second loop of the handle are provided by means of two separate strips of material which are then attached to the packaging 2.
  • two separate handle segments can be provided which are joined to one another as well as to the packaging 2 in the third section 44.
  • the two separate handle segments are joined to the packaging 2 in different positions (not shown in the Figures).
  • first section 40, second section 42 and/or third section 44 of the handle 4 could also be situated on the bottom wall 26 of the packaging 2. This is, naturally, also the case for the opening section 3 which may also be defined in the bottom wall 26 of the packaging 2 or may have at least portions extending into the bottom wall 26.
  • Figure 9 shows a further exemplary pack 1'.
  • a packaging 2 is provided in which an opening section 3 is defined by lines of weakness, in particular in the form of perforations 30.
  • a handle 4' is integrated into the packaging 2.
  • the packaging has one of the typical forms of a pre-fabricated bag.
  • FIG 10 shows this pack 1' in the opened state, in which the opening section 3 is opened by means of the integrated handle 4'.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show a yet further exemplary pack 1".
  • a packaging 2 is provided with an opening section 3' wherein the opening section 3' is defined by perforations 30 in the main wall 20 of the packaging 2.

  • Figure 13 basically corresponds to the embodiment shown in Figure 1 .
  • the hinge portion 34 of this embodiment is provided in the top wall 24 of the pack 1, which results, as can be seen in Figure 14 , in a different opening direction of the opening section 3.
  • the hinge portion 34 is situated opposite to the direction towards the second section 42 of the handle 4.
  • This specific arrangement of the pack has the advantage that, during the carrying operation, the force that is exerted from the handle 4 to the opening section 3 is mainly carried by the hinge portion 34 such that an accidental opening of the opening section 3 can be avoided. Even if any accidental opening of the opening section 3 occurs, the hygiene products 100 cannot fall out of the pack as the opening section 3 remains in its closed position due to the pull of the handle 4.
  • the perforation 30' is shown schematically in the form of a double line perforation.
  • the second section 40 of the handle 4 is moved into the direction schematically shown by arrow 400.
  • a pack 1 is shown, in which the hinge portion 34 is situated in a structurally similar position as shown in Figures 13 and 14 .
  • the hinge portion 34 is situated opposite to the direction of the handle 4 towards the second section 42 of the handle 4.
