Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine wiederbefüllbare Tube oder Flasche.The present invention relates to a refillable tube or bottle.

Tuben der üblichen Fertigungsart, siehe US2005/0108995 , sind aus einem Schlauch gefertigt, an dessen einen Ende ein verstärktes Schulterstück angebracht ist, das es erlaubt, ein Gewinde oder einen Prellverschluss mit einem Auslass für den Tubeninhalt anzubringen. Der Auslass wird mit einem Schraubdeckel oder einem Klappverschluss verschlossen, die andere Seite der Tube wird verschweißt und so verschlossen. Eine Tube dieser Bauart, ist ohne weitere Hilfsmittel nicht, oder nur schwierig und bei zähflüssigen Produkten nicht ohne Lufteinschlüsse wieder aufzufüllen.Tubes of the usual type of production, see US2005 / 0108995 , are made of a tube, at one end of a reinforced shoulder piece is attached, which allows to attach a thread or a baffle with an outlet for the tube contents. The outlet is closed with a screw cap or a snap closure, the other side of the tube is welded and sealed. A tube of this type is not without further aids, or difficult and refill with viscous products without air pockets.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde zu Grunde, eine Tube zu schaffen, die leicht und ohne weitere Hilfsmittel wieder aufzufüllen ist.The invention is based on the object of providing a tube that is easy to replenish without further aids.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

Über die zweite Öffnung am unteren Ende der Tube oder Flasche ist es problemlos möglich, den Behälter zum einen vollständig zu entleeren, zum anderen kann er leicht und ohne Lufteinschlüsse wiederbefüllt werden. Hierbei kann es nützlich sein, wenn beide einander gegenüberliegende Öffnungen geöffnet werden. Ist die der Behälter wiederbefüllt, kann er mit einem Stopfen am unteren Ende der Tube verschlossen werden.Through the second opening at the bottom of the tube or bottle, it is easily possible to completely empty the container on the one hand, on the other hand, it can be refilled easily and without air pockets. In this case, it may be useful if both opposing openings are opened. If the container refilled, it can be closed with a stopper at the bottom of the tube.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich im Besonderen auf Behälter aus einem weichen zusammendrückbaren Material, wie beispielsweise Tuben. Diese haben den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass sie ohne Hilfsmittel lediglich durch Zusammendrücken entleert werden können. Hinzu kommt, dass sie im Gepäck leicht zu verstaut in sind und nur ein geringes Gewicht aufweisen.The invention more particularly relates to containers of a soft compressible material, such as tubes. These have the significant advantage that they can be emptied without aids only by squeezing. In addition, they are easy to stow in the luggage and have only a low weight.

Aus diesem Grund können wiederbefüllbare Tuben in folgenden Bereichen hilfreich und verkäuflich sein: Für Menschen die auf Reisen ihre gewohnten Produkte in kleinen Mengen mitnehmen wollen. Die wenigsten Produkte im Kosmetikbereich oder bei Waschmitteln sind in kleinen Tuben erhältlich.For this reason, refillable tubes can be helpful and salable in the following areas: For people who travel with their usual products in small quantities. Very few products in the cosmetics sector or in detergents are available in small tubes.

Für Flugreisende kann die Erfindung nützlich sein, um Kosmetiktuben mit ins Flugzeug nehmen zu können. Dort ist zurzeit eine maximale Tuben- oder Flaschengröße von 100 ml erlaubt.For air travelers, the invention may be useful to be able to take cosmetics tubes on the plane. There is currently a maximum tube or bottle size of 100 ml allowed.

Im Outdoorbereich wie z. B. auf Camping-, Fahrrad-, oder Kanutouren, können Lebensmittel wie Butter, Margarine und Marmelade in einer wiederbefüllbaren Tube leicht und sicher mitgenommen, und ohne Besteck verwendet werden.In the outdoor area such. B. on camping, cycling, or canoeing, food such as butter, margarine and jam can be easily and safely taken in a refillable tube, and used without cutlery.

Die Erfindung ist auch überall dort vorteilhaft, wo Produkte in großen Mengen abgefüllt sind (z. B. Vorratspackungen), aber dosiert und punktgenau verwendet werden sollen, z.B. im Haushalt, Apotheken, Arztpraxen, Labors, Werkstätte.The invention is also advantageous wherever products are filled in large quantities (eg, supply packs) but are to be dosed and used with pinpoint accuracy, e.g. in the household, pharmacies, medical practices, laboratories, workshops.

Farben, Spachtelmasse oder ähnliche flüssige bis zähflüssige Materialien können aus größeren Gebinden problemlos in die Tuben gefüllt und Reste aufbewahrt werden, ohne auszutrocknen.Paints, putty or similar liquid to viscous materials can easily be filled from larger containers into the tubes and leftovers stored without drying out.

Um die Dichtigkeit der Tube zu gewährleisten können erfindungsgemäß Stopfen unterschiedlicher Bauart verwendet werden:

  1. 1. Einteilige Stopfen,
  2. 2. Lammellenstopfen.
  3. 3. Mehrteilige Stopfen.
To ensure the tightness of the tube plugs of different types can be used according to the invention:
  1. 1. One-piece plugs,
  2. 2. Lammellenstopfen.
  3. 3. Multi-part plug.

Zu 1.: Der einteilige Stopfen wird von unten in die Tube eingeführt. Er wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Spannring befestigt, der von außen den Tubenschlauch auf den Stopfen presst. In einer bevorzugten Ausflugsvariante kann der Stopfen für zusätzliche Festigkeit mit einer Nut versehen sein, in der der Spannring bei Druck auf die Tube zusätzlichen Halt findet.To 1 .: The one-piece plug is inserted from below into the tube. It is fastened according to the invention with a clamping ring which presses the tube tube onto the stopper from outside. In a preferred Ausflugsvariante the plug for additional strength can be provided with a groove in which the clamping ring finds additional support when pressure on the tube.

Zu 2.: Lammellenstopfen werden in die Tube eingeführt und finden durch die Lamellen, die vorzugsweise an einem zentralen, sich im eingesetzten Zustand mittig in den Behälter erstreckenden Stab befestigt sind und sich von diesem abspreizen, in der Tube Halt und dichten sie ab.To 2 .: Lammellenstopfen be introduced into the tube and find through the slats, which are preferably attached to a central, in the inserted state centrally in the container extending rod and spread from this, in the tube stop and seal.

Zu 3.: Mehrteilige Stopfen bestehen in einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung z. B. aus einer Fassung mit Innengewinde oder einfacher Bohrung, die in die Tube eingeführt und mit ihr verbunden wird. Als Verschluss dient entweder ein Deckel mit Schraubgewinde, der in die Fassung eingeschraubt wird, oder die Fassung wird mit Klapp- oder Prelldeckel verschlossen.To 3 .: Multi-part plug in a first embodiment of the Invention z. B. from a socket with internal thread or simple bore, which is inserted into the tube and connected to it. As a closure is either a screw-threaded lid, which is screwed into the socket, or the socket is closed with hinged or bounce lid.
