Definitions

  • the invention relates to containers with a Spendegut-residue removal possibility and their production method, characterized in that each container has a possibility for opening the container body, in particular a tear strip.
  • the extrusion blow technique generally allows the production of any hollow body, in particular the production of bottles, tubes and canisters.
  • the blow molding process for the production of plastic bottles takes place in AIIg. according to the following principle:
  • a tube of hot, moldable plastic is ejected from a flanged tool as a preform vertically downwards (extruded) continuously or discontinuously.
  • the material thickness in the hose is regulated according to the shape of the finished workpiece.
  • the plasticized tube is extruded in sufficient length between the open tool halves. After reaching the required hose length, the tool halves are closed, so that the shared tool completely envelops the hose. Then a blow pin enters the hose from above or below. Compressed air is then forced through the mandrel into the hose, whereby it is inflated and pressed against the contour of the blow mold and cooled. The plastic adapts to the given shape and becomes firm. At the neck and at the bottom or at the areas where the hose was squeezed by closing the tool halves, plastic slugs are created. This slug is usually removed after removal of the Blaslings from the tool with a suitable cutting / or punching tool. This process can be done "inline” as well as separately.This waste is reused (recycling), especially in the production of unmixed blown bodies, it is shredded and fed into the extruder, and re-integrated into the manufacturing process.
  • the thickness of the plastic in the finished product can be controlled.
  • the wall thickness can be calculated in advance or is varied in more complex forms in a so-called null series by experiments until the desired wall thickness profile is reached.
  • a characteristic of blow molding over injection molding is that hollow parts can be produced and also undercuts without a slide (see mold construction) can be produced to a limited extent.
  • the variation of the wall thickness is only indirectly possible compared to injection molding, therefore achievable tolerances greater.
  • Tubes are also produced in the extruded extrusion process or from flat foil blanks (eg in the lamination process).
  • the extruded tube is calibrated to the desired wall thickness and shape, cooled and cut into cylindrical tubes, which are then (usually in a separate process) connected to the separately produced tube head.
  • sheet blanks e.g., made by flat extrusion
  • a hollow body e.g., cylindrical shape
  • the junctions may be overlapping or flush (e.g., by chamfered / slanted strin areas), depending on the process.
  • a container of the type mentioned is inventively designed such that the container body has a tear strip and opened by this (broken / separated) can be.
  • extrusion-blown containers which have a container body and a dispensing opening connected via a shoulder region are suitable according to the invention.
  • tear strips, tear strips, opening strips are understood to mean aids of a first material which are embedded in or attached to a second, flat or circumferentially closed material, have a free end projecting from or from the second material, which serves as a handle and as soon as you pull it to cause an opening / division of the second material.
  • containers according to the invention it is possible for the consumer to achieve a significantly improved degree of emptying.
  • the containers according to the invention can be stored in any position, because an almost complete emptying is guaranteed by the direct removal from the 'broken' container. Even a partially dried (thickened) donation can thus be removed.
  • the production of the containers according to the invention can be carried out by blow molding, injection molding or another conventional method.
  • containers are particularly preferred which are made of thermoplastic materials, since in the course of the manufacturing process of the tear thread can be easily on or attach. Very particular preference is given to containers which have been produced by extrusion blow molding or extrusion molding.
  • the tear thread can run in any direction of the container axis.
  • the tear strip along a side edge or along the extrusion direction is incorporated.
  • the tear strip runs substantially along the longitudinal axis, wherein the tear strip runs along a generatrix of the tube.
  • the tear strip can be arranged substantially along a circumferential profile; that surrounds the subject.
  • tearing tapes / yarns represent a simple and well-known way of opening a package since they are provided on a considerable variety of packages and they are accustomed to these opening possibilities (e.g., carton packs for washing powder or food).
  • the container wall is separated by means of one or more tear strips. From the opened container body is a removal of Spendegutreste by means of spatulas, fingers, spoons o.a. readily possible. Finally, only the packaging (the container) remains and can be disposed of.
  • the container can have any cross section and shape and any wall thickness.
  • the nature and properties of the inner surface e.g., coefficients of friction
  • the remaining amount remaining can be significantly reduced.
  • strength enhancing geometric profiles may be introduced (e.g., extruded) into the interior of the hollow body, which would otherwise adhere to an increased level of product without the invention.
  • containers according to the invention are bottles or tubes.
  • a very great advantage of this invention is that a container with tear strips has the same or comparable visual effect as a corresponding container known from the prior art.
  • the tear strip consists of a second material, which is different from the material of the container wall, the first material, at least in a physical size.
  • a material is selected as the second material, which is tougher and / or has a higher tensile strength than the first material. It is particularly advantageous if the tear strip has a 50% higher tensile strength than the first material of the container.
  • first and second materials prefferably be of the same type of polymer (plastic class), e.g. HDPE, where the second material is e.g. equipped with additives tougher than the first material, so that the first and second material do not form a homogeneous compound and are connected only in the form of an adhesion with each other.
  • polymer plastic class
  • the second material is e.g. equipped with additives tougher than the first material, so that the first and second material do not form a homogeneous compound and are connected only in the form of an adhesion with each other.
  • tear strip in the form of a flat and / or thin metal strip.
  • Particularly preferred materials for containers according to the invention are: as the first material HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PET, PA and laminates or coextrusion products with and without barrier layers and adhesion promoters, possibly with Metallevampfung or the like and as a second material (tear strip): HDPE , LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PET, PA, laminates or coextrusion products of different materials, which in particular may also be transparent, semitransparent, opaque or opaque.
  • Separation of the tear strip from the slash / crush (especially plastic bottles) and the rest of the container material may also be facilitated under "thermal assistance” (heat), in which case the tear strip material a higher plasticizing / melting point than the container body material (container melts or remains elastic in the separation area, the tighter tear strip is not damaged or separated during the peeling or separating operation.
  • thermal assistance heat
  • a particular embodiment of the opening device according to the invention according to the principle of the tear tape is that the opening strip is completely delaminated or sheared within a material layer contained in the opening strip and thus opens the container wall.
  • the thread for the Extrusionsblasformen is such that it expands during the stretching or stretching process of the hose, when inflating the plastic bottle, or can be added to the hose in the respective body shape of the hollow body. This is done by suitable choice of material (and the corresponding elasticity of the material) or by suitable construction of the thread itself (eg by a net or "float" structure - similar to eg some embodiments of the dental floss - which tapers when stretched without tearing.
  • the individual threads of the net can be used later to open the main material of the bottle body through the fabric Due to the simultaneous tapering of the thread and the obliquely applied shearing forces, the separation of the container wall (eg bottles or tubes) can be made easier / easier and with less force.
  • the remaining visible on the container end can be made shorter than in threads that have no such structure (the thread with network structure is elongated with increasing taper until the threads have reached the maximum length of the free-standing end and the separation process of the container begins.
  • This space-saving variant allows the free end: ⁇ Make the container shape better visually (or not as distracting as long threads in the bottle design)
  • tear strips opening strips
  • the cohesively delaminatable intermediate layer of the opening strip consists of a physical mixture of polyethylene and polybutylene, i. H. a mixture in which the two said constituents are only physically mixed with one another without any element of chemical reaction between them or any other structural linkage between the constituents.
  • a special variant is the combination of the container with a notched closure (for example on the front side - see drawing).
  • the consumer eg: the less strong eg older or younger or “more comfortable” consumers
  • a longer thread outside of the closure (eg, also different colored) can be adhered to the closure and can be used in addition as a tamper-evident seal.
  • the free end of the thread after the filling process of the container to the, wetted with a suitable, for example, transparent adhesive sealing surface is adhered (this can, for example by the Blowing the thread to the appropriate point of the closure done.
  • the network structure has the advantage that a larger surface area (than in the case of a net / float-free structure) enables faster bonding / drying.
  • Also according to the invention is the manufacturing method of the containers according to the invention, which differs from the known from the prior art extrusion blown in such a way that
  • the strip of the second material is not separated from the container body.
  • the resulting slug (waste) is not mixed with the tear strip material.
  • the "waste from trash” now sorted
  • This step allows a manufacturing process of the hollow body would not be possible without special precautions in the mixing of different types of material.
  • Containers according to the invention can accordingly be produced according to the following method steps:
  • the Aufreisst Shape of a second material or a material combination is inserted in the formation of the container in the container wall of a first material or externally fed separately through the extruder head as a starting material or alternatively extruded into it (eg coextruded as in the view strip principle), so that the end of the tear strip undergoes at least one slug / pinch after molding or sealing / sealing of the container;
  • the difference to conventional deburring lies in the particular shape of the cutting tool, which does not sever the degree in the region formed by the second material AufreisstMake so that it remains as a free end of the container body, thereby protrudes the free end of the tear strip formed in the mold halves Squeezing and suture area protruding from the container shoulder.
  • the cut may only take place so deep that the tear strip itself is not cut.
  • the step B separating the squeezing and separating the free end of the tear thread, can also be advantageously carried out by a suitable "cutting jaw" construction and process management, the cutting jaws are guided by the thread during the separation process on a suitable cam track -Process separation of the squeezing of the thread, whereby no loss of speed or efficiency occurs during the production.
  • the cutting / separating jaws are designed so that an unintentional separation of the thread is avoided.
  • This sub-process step is applicable both to the manufacturing process of containers (plastic bottles, tubes), as well as to the filling process (e.g., tubes) or integrated manufacturing and filling process at the bottler.
  • the tear strip can already be shortened if necessary in the separation process of the squeezing / slugging of the bottle shoulder.
  • the separation of the thread takes place in the area of the Butzen stressess. in this connection remains a residue of the tear thread in the slug.
  • the slug may also be shortened in a separate step, for example after the slug removal.
  • the tear thread on the inside or outside of the container wall, or depending on the material and execution in the middle of the bottle wall, with a permanent and sufficient adhesion must be given or the tear thread completely or on the outer side areas embedded in the container wall
  • the tear strip can also have at least one-sided mechanical "anchors", ie specially shaped, profiled threads or extruded or extruded profiles, which facilitate anchoring in poorly connectable materials / material types (eg PE with PET) forcibly demolded from the side wall during the opening process, pulled out and / or sheared off in a targeted and / or controlled manner.
  • anchors ie specially shaped, profiled threads or extruded or extruded profiles
  • one or more tear strips can be incorporated in the bottle circumference, wherein these are on one side or z.
  • the one-piece container (1) shown in Fig. 1a shows a tear thread (2) running parallel to the longitudinal axis, extending from the container shoulder (3) supporting the container neck (4) to the container bottom (5a).
  • the free end (2.1) of the tear thread (2) is expediently in the region of the container shoulder out of this and serves to grip, whereby the removal of the strip is facilitated.

  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through the container (1) along the axis A-A 'in Figure 1a. Clearly visible is the fact that the tear-open thread in the embodiment shown is embedded in the container wall and completely replaces it in a very narrow area (6).
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment in which the tear strip (7) rests on the inside of the container wall and this only partially replaced, so that the outside of the container wall (8) covers the tear strip.
  • a particular variant is the combination of the container with a notched closure (10) is shown in Figure 4.
