Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package consisting of a container and a lid with a grip tab, wherein the lid is attached to the container edge via a sealing layer, and wherein the container wall has at least in the region of the container edge formed to the container interior recess.
  • Packages of the type mentioned are from the US Pat. No. 7,217,434 B1 and the US 3,318,487 A. known and are used for example for food.
  • the containers are filled with food and then closed with the lid.
  • the lid material has, on the side facing the container, a sealing layer, via which the lids are fastened to the edge of the container with the aid of sealing tools. This closure protects the food from the ingress of air, moisture and contaminants.
  • the package is consumer friendly, as it can be opened without additional aids. This is done by applying a so-called tearing force, which is necessary to peel the lid from the container can.
  • the containers are filled with food, it is a primary goal in the selection of materials that they comply with the provisions of the Food Law.
  • suitable container materials are in particular polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate.
  • the cover material used is preferably aluminum foil or foil composite containing polymers, paper or aluminum, see WO 99/29 508 A ,
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a packaging solution with reduced material consumption, which simultaneously meets the legal requirements and customer needs.
  • a lid for the packaging according to the invention takes place, for example, according to the teaching of WO 98/26 931 , wherein in a continuous process by means of print marks the lid mold is applied to the lid material and the lid are then punched out according to this printing form.
  • the show Fig. 1 and 2 a known pack 1 with a container 2, which has a recess 7 in the form of a circle segment. According to Fig. 3 a film material 9 for the production of the lid 3 is shown.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a container 2a, which is suitable for the package according to the invention and is provided with a V-shaped recess 7a. As is known, this container can be closed with a hexagonal lid 3b made of a material as in Fig. 9 shown can be produced.
  • the 10, 11 and 12 show polygonal lid 3c suitable for the invention, which have a recess 10a and a handle 11a.
  • the starting material for the production of the lid should be exploited as efficiently as possible. This is required insofar as the resources for aluminum are limited and sometimes by customers desired composite materials are so complex in their construction, so that for these reasons, a saving of the starting material is necessary.
  • the packaging material film can consist, for example, of aluminum or a multilayer composite of a sealable polypropylene layer and polyethylene layers adjoining it. Since the cover 3 has no gripping tab, almost no material waste is to be expected when punching the cover. Nevertheless, for the consumer a simplified handling when opening the pack 1 - see Fig. 1 and 2 - Ensures that the container 2, at least in its edge region 5 has a recess 7 of the type that in the region of the depression by means of thumb pressure, the lid 3 can be withdrawn from the container edge 4.
  • a predetermined breaking point 8 can sometimes be provided in the edge of the container, which makes it easier for the consumer to touch the lid 3 when the opening process is initiated, with a partial region 5 'being torn out of the container rim 8 in the course of the application of force.
  • the containers 2 are produced, for example, such that a polystyrene film is fed to a heating unit, so that the polystyrene is brought into a soft-elastic state. Subsequently, the soft elastic film is processed by thermoforming using die and Patrizenwerkmaschineen. These tools are such that on the one hand the recess 7 in the container edge 8 and the container edge 6 accordingly Fig. 1 and 2 can be formed.
  • the containers 2 can now be stored or filled immediately after their preparation and sealed with appropriate sealing tools using the punched-lid 3. Nevertheless, should there be a desire to provide an opening aid in the form of a grip tab, so this is based on the Fig. 4, 5 and 6 explained in more detail.
  • a material-saving method for producing the lid 3a is shown.
  • 9 printing marks are set on the packaging material film such that in each case a gripping tab 11 engages in a recess 10 of the adjacent lid.
  • a plurality of lids 3a can be punched out without, however, wasting unnecessary starting material.
  • the lid in its dimension must also be adapted to the container, this is the already described thermoforming process, since now the recess 10 in the lid 3 a match exactly with the recess 7 in the container edge region 5.
  • the grip tab 11 itself projects beyond the container edge 4, but this does not affect the overall appearance of the package 1a, since consumers are used to opening aids such as the grip tab 11.
  • a film material 9 is used, on which the hexagonal shape of the lid 3b is applied by means of print marks.
  • the print marks are positioned such that in each case the cover 3b are arranged like a honeycomb, so that only in the edge region of the film 9 is expected to waste film.
  • the thermoforming method can be used, with the difference that here a U-shaped recess 7a is advantageous since there by means of thumb pressure in a simple manner, the opening process, ie the peeling off of the lid 3b from the edge 4a can take place.
  • FIG. 12 A particularly imaginative embodiment of the lid 3c is based on the 10 to 12 explained. How out Fig. 12 can be seen, a polygonal lid by means of print marks on the film 9 is given, wherein the recess 10a of the recess 7a corresponds. On the opposite side a gripping tab 11a is provided, which engages in the recess 10a of the adjacent lid for the purpose of saving material. If the lid 3c punched, so it is only expected in the edge region or film 9 with unwanted waste.
