Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cup, in particular yogurt cup, with a container element which is at least partially enveloped by a shrink film, in particular a shrink tube.
  • yogurt cups in addition to the so-called standard cups, these are simple cups without feet (see EP 0 408 016 A1 . Fig. 1a ), also used cups with foot, especially the so-called foot cup, which have in their lower part a, mostly cylindrical, previewausformung without undercut, and the so-called cup cups, which in its lower part a conical supportiveausformung, which is upwards , tapers to the bottom of the container element, so have a foot shape with undercut.
  • thermoplastics such as PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene) or PS (polystyrene), with thermoforming or deep-drawing used for the standard cups, while injection molding is used for the cup and cup cups becomes.
  • thermoforming is cheaper and faster than injection molding, it is not used for the cup and cup cups. This is due to the shape of the foot cups and cup cups, which is more complicated than the shape of the standard footless cup due to the foot and can not be realized by thermoforming or only with excessive effort.
  • the shrink film / shrink tubing protrudes at least in places at the bottom of the container element down and forms or expands the footprint with this projection, the shrink film / shrink tubing in the lower part at least in places from the cup wall and / or the cup bottom protrudes, creating a corresponding cavity.
  • the projection formed by the shrink film / shrink tube forms the lower part in particular the foot or the stand element of the cup.
  • a manufacturing method is that the container member and the shrink film / shrink tube and at least one molding are guided to each other, and then the shrink film / shrink tubing is shrunk in its outer dimensions and then the molding is separated from the cup. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the molded part is reduced before the separation process.
  • a machine for carrying out the process brings together the container element and shrink film / shrink tube and has a molded part which is adapted to shape the shrink film / shrink tube.
  • the molded part can be changed in size of its outer dimensions.
  • the cup 10 is after Fig. 1 and 2 a Bembonostiil 11 and the container surrounding a shrink film 13.
  • the shrink film (the shrink tube) 13 also referred to as “sleeve” forms even the stationary part of the container (yogurt cup) or expands the footprint, without an additional part (stand element / panel element) is shrunk with.
  • the sleeve 13 is closely connected to at least a lower part of the
  • the sleeve is in its lower part at least in places from the cup wall and / or the cup base, whereby a corresponding cavity 14 is formed.
  • the sleeve 13 has a radial indentation 15 at the lower end, because this results in an increased stability, which carries the weight of the (filled) cup safer, see Figures 2 . 7 . 8th and 11 ,
  • the shrinking film 13 is placed around the container element, preferably a heat-shrinkable tube is placed around the container element 11, Figures 3 and 6 ,
  • the container element and a further part, which has the desired shape of the base / stand part, hereinafter referred to as "molded part" 27, are brought together in such a way that the desired overall shape of the container results, FIGS. 3, 4 . 6 and 7 .
  • the sleeve 13 is brought to shrink. As it cools down, the sleeve solidifies.
  • the molded part 27 and the container part 11 are separated from each other, Figures 5 . 7 ,
  • the container part 11 and the molded part 27 are guided to each other, and then the sleeve is placed around the two parts.
  • the molded part is variable in size, FIGS. 7 to 9 ,
  • the molded part 27 may consist entirely or partially of a moldable hollow body which can be changed in size by pumping up and down, in particular pneumatically or hydraulically.
  • This hollow body may consist entirely or partially of an elastic material.
  • the molding may also be variable in size by a pressing operation by compressing an elastic material wholly or in places, the size of the molding changing as a result of protrusion and retraction of the material.
  • the molded part can be changed by a variety of mechanical processes.
  • the molded part may consist, in whole or in part, of separate parts, for example, of segments or sectors and may, for example, be disassembled and assembled by sliding operations and thus be variable in size.
  • the molding can be variable in size by rolling up and down, for example, a cuff or toroidal ring can be rolled into each other / bent.
  • the molding can be completely or partially covered with elastic material to obtain a desired shape.
  • the molded part does not have to describe the exact shape of the lower part / base / foot, it is sufficient, depending on the shrinkage behavior of the sleeve / shrink film, that the molded part only describes, for example, a donut-shaped ring or a relatively thin disc.
  • the shrink film 13 applies according to such that a voluminous and stable foot shape is achieved.
  • a machine which carries out this method, and has corresponding features, namely: the former 27, which is variable in size, and a device that shrinks the sleeve allows.
