Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for solid, pasty, as well as flowable and scoopable products, in particular for food products, comprising a container base for receiving the product and a container lid designed as a container top, wherein the container base has a closed, running around its container opening edge that the Container upper part consists of a running around the container opening, this collar-like comprehensive collar element, and consists of a substantially planar lid member, and is releasably secured to the edge of the container base.
  • EP-A-1 693 309 A container of this type is known ( EP-A-1 693 309 ).
  • containers are usually made of plastic material and are usually produced by known injection molding techniques.
  • Containers of this or similar type are available in a wide variety of sizes Trade and are used in the most diverse shapes for all sorts of products that are hygienic or germ-free to pack.
  • Products that are offered for example in such containers as packaging units in grocery stores, for example, dairy products of all kinds, meat and sausage products, but also vegetables and fruit products and finished products in chilled and uncooled form.
  • the generic containers are mass products which are intended to absorb the products of the type described above by way of example in a hygienic, germ-free and airtight manner, they must be able to be produced very inexpensively in order to be sold on the market, i. on the one hand by the producers of the products and on the other hand by the consumers to be accepted. Furthermore, such containers must contain as complete as possible, often also separate legal provisions sufficient information about content, composition of the product, energy content of the product and information about the date of manufacture and use and certain other, in certain countries beyond legally required information on health in the container received product and the like.
  • such containers are usually provided with separate labels that declare such information and the corresponding parameters about the product to the consumer.
  • manufacturers' names, specially protected trademarks and the like are attached to the labels and, as a rule, the product itself is also depicted for many products received in such containers, for example the sausage product, the cheese product or a product in the form of liver pate or the like.
  • the separate labels have the disadvantage that they significantly increase the production of the container, as then applied to the container after filling the product and closing the container, the label either on the container itself, the container base or possibly. On the container lid and the actual container will need.
  • a third variant of containers is known in which a lid produced in the course of the production of the container lid by the method of the so-called "Immolded Label (IML)" in the injection mold is already connected to the film which forms the outer end of the container lid and an edge region of the film projecting beyond the container lid is connected to the container.
  • IML Immolded Label
  • Another significant disadvantage is that many times a pollution of the environment or the consumer or user himself is the result of wanting to open a container designed in this way.
  • a significant cost-driving factor are the high production costs of the tools for the injection molds for the production of the above-described, in particular the generic container. With some exceptions, it can be said that the manufacturing costs of injection molds or tools are the lower, the allegedly simpler the products produced therewith.
  • the term "simplicity" in the context of the final product produced should be understood to mean that it can be made in fewer and fewer process steps yet form a highly complex but highly efficient end product upon completion. It is therefore desirable that a simple production tool is provided, with which a possibly real highly complex, highly effective end product, here a container of the generic type, can be produced in a simple manner.
  • the production of the injection molding tool is a very cost-intensive factor, see above, in the final production costs of these containers, depending on the number of manufactured Container, received directly. Rough can the finding that the simpler the injection molding tool is designed, the lower its manufacturing cost and the simpler the injection mold is formed, the easier the process steps with the tool regularly executable to the complete container, but especially the container top (lid) form, and the faster the container or its components can be made.
  • the collar element has a circumferential, with its free end directed to the cover element protrusion surface on which the lid member is attached.
  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention consists essentially, as desired, is that the actual sheet-like cover part is also integral here and together with the circumferential collar element, which forms a mechanical support to ensure the dimensional stability of the lid member here, the container base, ie the contents of the container, can again close safely, but due to the attachment of the lid member to the lid member directed to the projection surface, the Formed at the free end of the collar member, a formation of the attachment of the lid member on the collar member is possible, which allows quasi in a manufacturing step, the production of the collar member and the lid member.
  • Another significant advantage of this offered solution according to the invention consists essentially in the fact that the injection molding tool can be configured so constructive that the attachment, as desired, can be virtually realized in one operation with the production of the collar member, if necessary. Also in one operation with the Production of the lid, wherein it is also possible according to the invention to perform collar element, cover element and attachment in one step with correspondingly designed injection molding tool.
  • the solution according to the invention nevertheless makes use of the principle, as in the generic solution, that the surface-shaped cover element required for receiving visually recognizable information also here in the case according to the invention, perform both the function of the actual cover element and the function of the information carrier carrying the visual information can.
  • the edge of the container base is at least partially formed in the manner of a circumferential flange, ie in fact it is possible to use for the realization of the container according to the invention container bases, as generally in the simplest containers, such as the well-known sogn. Yogurt containers and its modifications are known.
  • the lower container part can thus be designed very simply, without thereby the functionality of the container, ie the above-described interaction of the container upper part with the container lower part is adversely affected.

  • containers or container bases may have any suitable cross-sectional shapes per se, for example trapezoidal, rectangular, bottle-shaped but also cup-shaped structures and the like.
  • the flange is always parallel to a reference plane, namely here the ground formed.
  • the lid member is attached to the edge so that it covers it at least partially, ie, depending on the material of the lid member and / or in dependence of the material of the container base and / or in dependence of a material, the attachment causes the lid member on the edge, if necessary, the mounting width of the lid member can be selected on the edge, with the choice the actual mounting width can be selected on the edge depending on the size of the container.
  • Low-weight food products housed in the container do not require the width of the attachment as heavy-weight products.
  • the lid member is fixed to the inside of the projection surface, which has the advantage that the production of the connection between the lid member and edge element can be done quasi in a manufacturing process, since, if the elements are made of plastic spritzcalledem, only one Side in the injection mold of the plastic needs to be injected.
  • this embodiment of the invention also has the advantage that the attachment or the attachment area between the cover element and the edge from the outside is not visible, i. There is a visual protection and also a mechanical protection, because the cover element is then secured against "tearing up".
  • the cover element may preferably also be fastened to the outside of the projection surface, which would be an alternative way of fastening, for example, in the desirable case if one wishes to make the externally visible, available surface of the cover element as large as possible because you are anxious for certain purposes, as much information as necessary for the consumer, for example, visible from the outside on the cover element accommodate.
  • the edge regions of the cover element, on which the connection with the collar element takes place in full Umfamg for printing and the like. Exploited.
  • the lid member itself is formed according to a further very advantageous embodiment of the container of a foil-like body, it may also be advantageous to form the lid member together with the circumferential collar member in one piece, which z. B. technically feasible that the entire container top can be made in a single injection molding in a single suitably shaped injection mold, at the same time by the method of the already mentioned "Inmolded Label (IML)" the application of the externally recognizable to the viewer visual Information about the contents of the container and other information in the injection mold in the course of production of the container shell can be done.
  • IML Inmolded Label
  • cover element and the collar element are formed as separate parts, which are connected to each other by means of a suitable connection technique, for example by welding and / or gluing.
  • a suitable connection technique for example by welding and / or gluing.
  • the edge of the container is preferably formed integrally with the container itself, ie, in this embodiment of the container, the manufacturing process is completed, for example, produced in an injection mold, the container is formed with edge and completely finished.
  • the manufacturing process is completed, for example, produced in an injection mold, the container is formed with edge and completely finished.
  • Such solutions are for example advantageous if, for example, the material of the actual container base to form the attachment between the edge of the container and the lid member was not readily suitable.
  • the container element made of suitably stable material of paper and / or cardboard base
  • the separate edge region may for example consist of plastic, which in turn is suitably fastened or usable with the lid member, for example by welding, gluing, ultrasonic welding or simple by connecting the material of the cover element and the material of the edge element itself.
  • the thickness of the sheet-like lid member may be widely varied depending on the size of the container, the contents of the container, the product to be contained in the container, and the material used for the formation of the container. directly adapted to each to bewerkstelligende with the container packaging task.

  • the collar element 17 has essentially two regions, namely a web-like region 19, which here in the figures essentially protrudes at an acute angle relative to the edge 15 of the container lower part 11, and a projection 162, wherein the projection 162 is again integrally formed at an acute angle with the web-like region 19.
  • the projection 162 forms a projection surface 161 both on its one side (inside) and on the other side (outside), with reference to the representations in the figures, in particular in FIGS Fig. 1 and 3 ,
  • the region 19 forms part of a clip connection 18 and the edge 15 and the peripheral edge 150 of the container base 11 forms another part of a clip connection 18, wherein both parts form common clip 18, in such a way that the edge 15 and the peripheral flange 150 and in the region 19 of Clip connection 18 on the container base 11 to projecting projection part 180 engage behind latching.
  • the projection 162 which functions as part of the collar member 16, faces the lid member 17 with its free end 160.
  • the actual lid member 17 is fixed, which is part of the container top 12.
  • the cover element 17 consists, as already indicated, of a foil-like body which, for example, has a thickness 24 in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
  • the lid member 17, i. the film-like body may, in one preferred embodiment of the container 10, be made in one piece, i. integral with the collar member 16 may be formed.
  • Such a configuration of the container 10 or the container upper part 12 can be produced in a single injection molding process.
  • the lid member in the form of the film-like body and to connect with the peripheral collar member 16, for example by means of welding and / or gluing.
  • the projection surface 161 of the collar member which, as stated, is formed at the free end of the collar member 160, have a circumferential recess corresponding to the thickness 24 of the cover member 17, as clearly in the enlarged view in FIG Fig. 4 is apparent.
  • the lid member 17 On the peripheral edge or the circumferential flange of the container base 11, the lid member 17, in a prescribed manner connected to the collar member 16, on, see. the Fig. 4 , namely, when the container 10 is closed, that is, the container top 12 is applied to the container base 11, as in Fig. 4 is shown.
  • the container base 11 and the container top 12 have been prepared in the manner described above, the container base 11 is filled with the product at the manufacturer of the product with which the container 10 is to be filled. Subsequently, the container top 12 is placed on the container base and moved towards each other, that said clip 18 between the edge 15 and the free end of the peripheral flange 150 of the container base 11 and the projection 180, "inside” in the region 19 of the clip connection 18 of Container upper part 12 and the collar member attached, locked together, the detent due to a slight elastic deformation of the collar member 16 in the direction of the arrow 30, see Fig.
  • the filling of the container base 11 and the subsequent welding of the lid member 17 with the edge 15 and the peripheral flange 150 can be carried out in a vacuum.
  • the material used for the formation of the container base 11 and the container top 12 which may for example be a suitable injection-moldable material, such as propylene, is elastic, in the direction of arrow 26, an elastic deformation of the free end of the collar member 16 can be effected, so that this comes out of engagement with the free end of the peripheral flange 150 of the edge 15 of the container base 11, wherein subsequently the container top 12 can be raised altogether, wherein subsequently the welding and / or adhesive connection between the circumferential flange 150 of the rim 15 and the cover member 17 triggers.
  • the welding and adhesive connection is set such that when opening no damage to the peripheral flange 150 of the rim 15 and the cover member 17 as such takes place. If the container upper part 12 is then raised even further by corresponding tilting, the connection of the cover element with the peripheral flange around the entire container opening 14 is released. After removal of the container top 12 in its entirety, the product can be removed from the container base 11.
  • the container top 12 is placed back on the container base 11 and in the direction of arrow 27 so far moved toward one another until the clip 18 between the projection 180 and the free end of the peripheral flange 150 of the container base locks together.
  • the residual product located in the container bottom part 11 can then be stored again substantially tightly sealed in the container 11.
  • the user of the container 10 can recognize the container contents even in the closed state of the container 10, which is for presentation purposes of the container contents, for example in shelves or cabinets and the like., Of great advantage.
