Abstract

The invention relates to packaging (1) having elastically deformable external container (2) with a neck, an inner bag for receiving the filling goods being arranged therein, and a valve (4) for distributing the filling goods. Said valve (4) comprises a base body (7) with at least one through opening (10) and a valve maintaining element (12) in which a valve body, which comprises an elastically deformable separating wall (15) and a valve journal (17) pointing away from the external container, is fixed. Said separating wall (15) together with the valve maintaining element (12) delimits an air chamber (18) below the valve maintaining element (12). Also comprising a cap (8) covering the base body and the valve body secured to the neck of the external container (2), said cap delimiting a receiving chamber for the filling goods between the cap and the base body and has an outlet (5) for the filling goods which can be closed by the valve journal (17). When the packing is in the unpressurised state, the air in the chamber, together with the elasticity of the separating wall, presses the valve journal securely against the cap after adding the filling goods by squeezing the outer container.

Description

Verpackung  packaging
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung, die einen im wesentlichen formstabilen, dabei elastisch verformbaren Außenbehälter, einen darin angeordneten, leicht verformbaren, das Füllgut aufnehmenden Innenbeutel und ein Ventil aufweist, durch dessen Öffnung Füllgut abgegeben wird, wenn auf den Außenbehälter Druck ausgeübt wird. Dabei handelt es sich um ein sogenanntes Airless-System, bei dem nach Abgabe von Füllgut keine Luft in den Innenbeutel eintritt, sondern es tritt Luft aus der Außenatmosphäre in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter und dem Innenbeutel ein, wobei der Innenbeutel zunehmend zusammen gedrückt wird und in diesem Zustand verbleibt, bis das gesamte Füllgut aus der auch als Quetschflasche bezeichneten Verpackung ausgetreten ist. The invention relates to a package having a substantially dimensionally stable, while elastically deformable outer container, an arranged therein, easily deformable, the filling receiving inner bag and a valve, through the opening of filling material is discharged when pressure is exerted on the outer container. This is a so-called airless system, in which after delivery of contents no air enters the inner bag, but it enters air from the outside atmosphere in the space between the outer container and the inner bag, wherein the inner bag is increasingly pressed together and remains in this state until the entire contents have leaked out of the packaging, also referred to as a squeeze bottle.
Es sind zahlreiche Verpackungen dieser Art bekannt. Beispielsweise offenbart die DE 1 02 1 7 655 A1 eine Verpackung, bei der das Ventil eine Membran mit einem hülsenförmigen Vorsprung aufweist, der einen Zapfen eines sich über die Öffnung des Außenbehälters erstreckenden Basiskörpers umgibt, wobei das Füllgut zwischen der Hülse und dem Zapfen hindurch zur Austrittsöffnung einer Kappe gelangt. Wenn diese Verpackung für flüssiges Füllgut verwendet wird, kann es geschehen, dass der hülsenförmige Abschnitt der Membran bei der Abgabe von Füllgut stellenweise an dem Zapfen des Basiskörpers anhaftet, was zur Folge hat, dass der Flüssigkeitsstrahl beim Zusammendrücken des Außenbehälters nicht in Längsrichtung des Außenbehälters, sondern in einer There are numerous packages of this type are known. For example, DE 1 02 1 7 655 A1 discloses a packaging in which the valve has a membrane with a sleeve-shaped projection which surrounds a pin of a base body extending over the opening of the outer container, the filling material passing between the sleeve and the pin Outlet opening of a cap passes. If this package is used for liquid product, it may happen that the sleeve-shaped portion of the membrane in the discharge of contents in places adheres to the pin of the base body, with the result that the liquid jet when squeezing the outer container is not in the longitudinal direction of the outer container, but in one

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein aus wenigen Teilen bestehende, mit geringem Aufwand herstellbare und zusammensetzbare Verpackung anzugeben, die bevorzugt auch für flüssiges Füllgut geeignet ist. Hierauf soll die Verpackung aber nicht beschränkt sein, sondern sie soll ebenso zur Abgabe von pastösem Füllgut geeignet sein. The present invention has for its object to provide a few parts existing, producible with little effort and composable packaging, which is preferably also suitable for liquid filling. However, the packaging should not be limited thereto, but should also be suitable for dispensing pasty filling material.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Ventil einen sich über die Öffnung des Außenbehälters erstreckenden Basiskörper, der wenigstens eine Durchgangsöffnung für das Füllgut und eine Ventilhalterung aufweist, die sich mittig an dem Basiskörper befindet und in der ein Ventilkörper befestigt ist, der eine die vorzugsweise zylindrische Ventilhalterung dicht verschließende, elastisch verformbare Trennwand und einen von der Ventilhalterung weg weisenden Ventilzapfen aufweist, wobei die Trennwand mit dem Ventilhalterung eine Luftkammer unter sich bzw. dem Ventilzapfen begrenzt, und eine auf dem Hals des Außenbehälters befestigte, den Basiskörper und den Ventilkörper überdeckende Kappe enthält, deren Wand einen Aufnahmeraum für das Füllgut zwischen der Kappe und dem Basiskörper begrenzt und eine mittige Austrittsöffnung für das Füllgut aufweist, die im drucklosen Zustand der Verpackung von dem Ventilzapfen verschlossen ist, der unter Vorspannung der elastisch verformbaren Trennwand an dem die Austrittsöffnung enthaltenden Bereich der Kappe anliegt, wobei der Ventilzapfen bei Ausübung von Druck auf den Außenbehälter durch das in dem Aufnahmeraum befindliche, unter Druck stehende Füllgut von der Kappe zurück gezogen wird, so dass Füllgut austreten kann. Dabei wird die Luft in der Luftkammer komprimiert, die im drucklosen Zustand der Verpackung nach Abgabe von Füllgut zusammen mit der Elastizität der Trennwand den Ventilzapfen wieder fest gegen die Kappe drückt. Die Ventilhalterung befindet sich radial innerhalb der bevorzugt mehreren Durchgangsöffnungen durch den Basiskörper, die ihrerseits am Rand der Öffnung des Außenbehälters vorgesehen sind, so dass die Ventilhalterung eine große Fläche einnimmt, auf die der Druck des Füllguts einwirkt, um den Ventilzapfen zurück zu ziehen. The invention provides that the valve has a base body which extends over the opening of the outer container and has at least one passage opening for the filling material and a valve holder which is located centrally on the base body and in which a valve body is fastened, one preferably cylindrical Valve holder has a tightly closing, elastically deformable partition wall and a valve pin facing away from the valve holder, wherein the partition with the valve holder an air chamber under it or the valve pin limits, and a mounted on the neck of the outer container, the base body and the valve body overlapping cap contains whose wall defines a receiving space for the filling material between the cap and the base body and has a central outlet opening for the filling material, which is closed in the non-pressurized state of the packaging of the valve pin, the bias of the elastically deformable Tr Partial wall on which the outlet opening containing region of the cap is applied, wherein the valve pin is pulled back by exerting pressure on the outer container by the located in the receiving space, pressurized product from the cap, so that contents can escape. The air is compressed in the air chamber, which in the unpressurized state of the package after delivery of filling material together with the elasticity the partition again presses the valve pin firmly against the cap. The valve holder is located radially within the preferably more through openings through the base body, which in turn are provided at the edge of the opening of the outer container, so that the valve holder occupies a large area, which acts on the pressure of the filling material to pull back the valve pin.
Außerdem sieht die Erfindung vor, dass die Kappe einen von dem Aufnahmeraum für das Füllgut hermetisch abgetrennten, gegen den Aufnahmeraum und den Außenbehälter abgedichteten Luftraum aufweist, der über wenigstens eine Bohrung durch die Wand des Außenbehälters mit dem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter und dem Innenbeutel und über wenigstens ein Belüftungsventil mit der Außenatmosphäre verbunden ist. Das Belüftungsventil wird beim Zusammendrücken (Quetschen) des Außenbehälters durch den erhöhten Druck in dem Luftraum dicht verschlossen, so dass keine Luft aus dem Luftraum austreten kann. Die ausgeübte Druckkraft auf den Außenbehälter wird somit vollständig auf das Füllgut ausgeübt, das auf die oben beschriebene Weise aus der Austrittsöffnung des Ventils austritt. Nach Beendigung dieses Vorgangs tritt infolge des in dem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter und dem Innenbeutel entstandenen Unterdrucks Luft durch das Belüftungsventil in den Luftraum und von dort in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter und dem Innenbeutel ein, da sich das Belüftungsventil durch den Unterdruck öffnet, bis der Druckausgleich erfolgt ist. In addition, the invention provides that the cap has a hermetically separated from the receiving space for the contents, sealed against the receiving space and the outer container air space, at least one bore through the wall of the outer container with the space between the outer container and the inner bag and over at least one vent valve is connected to the outside atmosphere. The vent valve is tightly closed upon squeezing (squeezing) of the outer container due to the increased pressure in the air space, so that no air can escape from the air space. The exerted pressure force on the outer container is thus fully exerted on the contents, which emerges in the manner described above from the outlet opening of the valve. After completion of this process occurs due to the resulting in the space between the outer container and the inner bag negative air through the vent valve in the air space and from there into the space between the outer container and the inner bag, as the vent valve opens by the negative pressure until the Pressure equalization is done.
Die Ventilhalterung hat eine geschlossene Bodenwand und eine umlaufende, bevorzugt kreiszylindrische Seitenwand, an der die Trennwand dicht anliegt, wobei die unter der Trennwand befindliche Luftkammer durch die Trennwand und die davon beabstandete Bodenwand der Ventilhalterung begrenzt und gegenüber dem Aufnahmeraum für das Füllgut hermetisch abgeschlossen ist. Der Ventilzapfen erstreckt sich mittig von der Trennwand in Richtung der oberen Wand der Kappe und fluchtet mit deren Austrittsöffnung. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Trennwand fest an der umlaufenden Seitenwand der Ventilhalterung angebracht z.B. an dieser angeklebt. Die Ventilhalterung ist bevorzugt einstückig an dem Basiskörper angeformt. The valve holder has a closed bottom wall and a circumferential, preferably circular cylindrical side wall, against which the partition wall is tight, wherein the air chamber located below the partition wall bounded by the partition and the spaced therefrom bottom wall of the valve holder and hermetically sealed against the receiving space for the contents. The valve pin extends centrally from the partition in the direction of the upper wall of the cap and aligned with the outlet opening. Conveniently, the partition is firmly attached to the circumferential side wall of the valve holder, for example glued to this. The valve holder is preferably integrally formed on the base body.
Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung verläuft die Trennwand nicht eben, sondern querschnittlich gewellt oder mäanderförmig. Dies trägt zur Beweglichkeit des Ventilzapfens durch den Druck des Füllguts in der oberen Aufnahmekammer der Kappe bei. According to a further proposal of the invention, the partition wall is not flat but cross-section corrugated or meandering. This contributes to the mobility of the valve pin by the pressure of the filling material in the upper receiving chamber of the cap.
Weiter ist vorgesehen, dass an der Innenwand der Kappe neben der Austrittöffnung eine Führungseinrichtung für den Ventilzapfen angesetzt ist. Hierzu können z. B. Stege von der Innenwand der Kappe abstehen, die sich über den Bewegungsbereich des Ventilzapfens erstrecken, an denen der Ventilzapfen anliegt. It is further provided that a guide device for the valve pin is attached to the inner wall of the cap in addition to the outlet opening. For this purpose, z. B. webs protrude from the inner wall of the cap, which extend over the range of movement of the valve pin against which the valve pin rests.
Es versteht sich, dass die Luftkammer solche Abmessungen, d.h. eine solche Höhe hat, dass der Ventilzapfen im ausreichenden Maße von der Austrittsöffnung der Kappe zurück gezogen werden kann, so dass das Füllgut ungehindert aus der Austrittsöffnung austreten kann. It will be understood that the air chamber has such dimensions, i. Such a height that the valve pin can be sufficiently pulled back from the outlet opening of the cap, so that the contents can freely escape from the outlet opening.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung ist nicht nur zur Abgabe von pastösem oder cremigen Füllgut geeignet, sondern auch für flüssiges Füllgut, das in axialer Richtung aus der Austrittsöffnung der Kappe austreten kann. The packaging according to the invention is not only suitable for dispensing pasty or creamy filling material, but also for liquid filling material, which can emerge in the axial direction from the outlet opening of the cap.
Als Material für den Basiskörper mit der bevorzugt einstückig daran angeformten Ventilhalterung sind z. B. HDPE oder PP geeignet, während der Ventilkörper beispielsweise aus TPE oder LLDPE besteht. Ein geeignetes Material für die Kappe ist PP. As a material for the base body with the preferably integrally formed thereon valve holder z. B. HDPE or PP suitable, while the valve body consists for example of TPE or LLDPE. A suitable material for the cap is PP.
Das Ventil besteht nur aus zwei getrennten Bauteilen, die schnell und einfach auf dem Außenbehälter der Verpackung anbringbar sind. Die Kappe ist an ihrem radial äußeren Rand mit einer Dichtung versehen, die in eine umlaufende Nut in der Schulter des Außenbehälters eingreift. Die Dichtung kann zwei radial beabstandete Lippen aufweisen, für die jeweils eine umlaufende Nut in der Schulter des Außenbehälters vorgesehen ist. The valve consists of only two separate components, which can be quickly and easily attached to the outer container of the packaging. The cap is provided at its radially outer edge with a seal in a circumferential groove in the shoulder of the outer container engages. The seal may have two radially spaced lips, for each of which a circumferential groove is provided in the shoulder of the outer container.
Vorzugsweise sind zwei diametral gegenüber liegende Belüftungsventile in entsprechende Wandaussparungen des ringförmigen Luftraums der Kappe eingesetzt, die z. B. eingeklebt sein können. Preferably, two diametrically opposed ventilation valves are inserted into corresponding wall recesses of the annular air space of the cap, the z. B. can be glued.
Der Basiskörper liegt vorzugsweise auf dem Rand des Behälterhalses auf und wird von einer umlaufenden inneren Schulter der Kappe dicht gegen den Behälterrand gedrückt. Der Basiskörper kann aber auch in den Behalterhalt eingesetzt sein. The base body is preferably located on the edge of the container neck and is pressed by a circumferential inner shoulder of the cap tightly against the container edge. The base body can also be used in the Behalterhalt.
Die Kappe ist vorzugsweise auf den Behälterhals aufgesteckt, wobei sie mit hakenförmigen inneren Vorsprüngen unter einer Außenwulst am Rand des Behälterhalses eingerastet ist. Die Kappe kann aber auch auf den Behälterhals aufgeschraubt sein. The cap is preferably attached to the container neck, wherein it is locked with hook-shaped inner projections under an outer bead at the edge of the container neck. The cap can also be screwed onto the container neck.
Bei der Montage des Ventils wird der Basiskörper in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform auf den Rand des Behälterhalses aufgesetzt und dabei z.B. durch eine ringförmige Schulter zentriert. Anschließend wird die Kappe aufgesetzt, die mit hakenförmigen Ansätzen unter der Außenwulst des Behäiterhalses einrastet. Bei diesem Vorgang kann auch die wenigstens eine Dichtlippe (bevorzugt zwei Dichtlippen) der am Rand befestigten Dichtung in die zugehörige Nut des Außenbehälters eintreten oder sie wird an die Schulter des Außenbehälters angepresst. Die Dichtlippe besteht beispielsweise TPE. When assembling the valve, the base body in the preferred embodiment is placed on the edge of the container neck, e.g. centered by an annular shoulder. Subsequently, the cap is placed, which engages with hook-shaped projections under the outer bead of the neck of the container. In this process, the at least one sealing lip (preferably two sealing lips) of the edge-mounted seal can also enter into the associated groove of the outer container or it can be pressed against the shoulder of the outer container. The sealing lip consists for example of TPE.
Das System kann auch vormontiert auf die gefüllte Flasche aufgeschnappt werden. Hierzu ist an der Abfüllstation eine Aufprellvorrichtung angeordnet. The system can also be pre-mounted on the filled bottle to be snapped. For this purpose, a Aufprellvorrichtung is arranged at the filling station.
Das Belüftungsventil hat eine bezüglich der Luftkammer konvexe Querschnittsform und erstreckt sich kreisbogenförmig bevorzugt an zwei diametral gegenüber liegenden Seiten der Kappe. Durch die Wand des Belüftungsventils verläuft ein längs gerichteter, bevorzugt mittiger Schnitt, der durch die Wand des Belüftungsventils hindurch geht und so ausgebildet ist, dass kein Material weg geschnitten wurde. Dieses Belüftungsventil öffnet sich bei Unterdruck in der Luftkammer der Kappe, in dem sich der Schnitt ein wenig spreizt, und wird bei Überdruck in der Luftkammer dicht verschlossen, in dem das Ventil an dem Schnitt zusammen gepresst wird. The ventilation valve has a convex cross-sectional shape with respect to the air chamber and preferably extends in an arcuate manner to two diametrically opposite sides of the cap. Through the wall of the vent valve extends a longitudinal, preferably central cut, which passes through the wall of the vent valve and is formed so that no material was cut away. This vent valve opens at negative pressure in the air chamber of the cap, in which the section spreads a little, and is sealed at overpressure in the air chamber in which the valve is pressed together at the cut.

Die gesamte Verpackung 1 ist in Figur 1 dargestellt und enthält einen formstabilen, elastisch verformbaren Außenbehälter 2 und einen das Füllgut aufnehmenden Innenbeutel 3, der im gefüllten Ausgangszustand an der Innenwand des Außenbehälters 2 anliegt und in dessen Halsbereich fest mit dem Außenbehälter 2 verbunden ist. Der Innenbeutel 3 ist auch mit dem Boden des Außenbehälters verbunden. Auf dem Hals des Außenbehälters 2 ist ein Ventil 4 befestigt, durch dessen Austrittsöffnung 5 beim Zusammendrücken des Außenbehälters 2 Füllgut abgegeben wird. Dabei zieht sich der Innenbeutel 3 entsprechend zusammen, ohne dass Umgebungsluft zum Druckausgleich in den Innenbeutel eintritt, so dass es sich bei der Verpackung um ein sogenanntes Airless-System oder Airfree-System handelt. Der Außenbehälter 2 wird zweckmäßigerweise von einem Benutzer seitlich zusammengedrückt, um Füllgut abzugeben, wobei der Außenbehälter auch als Quetschbehälter bezeichnet werden kann. Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen in näheren Einzelheiten, dass das Ventil 4 im wesentlichen aus einem sich quer über die Öffnung 6 des Außenbehälters 2 erstreckenden Basiskörper 7 und einer Kappe 8 besteht, die außen auf den Hals des Außenbehälters 2 aufgeschnappt ist. Der Basiskörper 7, der beispielsweise aus HDPE besteht, liegt dabei mit seinem kreisförmigen Randbereich auf dem oberen Rand des Behälterhalses 9 auf, und wird von der Kappe 8 fest an den Behälterhals 9 angedrückt. The entire package 1 is shown in FIG. 1 and contains a dimensionally stable, elastically deformable outer container 2 and an inner bag 3 receiving the filling material, which rests against the inner wall of the outer container 2 in the filled initial state and is firmly connected to the outer container 2 in its neck region. The inner bag 3 is also connected to the bottom of the outer container. On the neck of the outer container 2, a valve 4 is attached, is discharged through the outlet opening 5 when squeezing the outer container 2 contents. In this case, the inner bag 3 contracts accordingly without ambient air enters the inner bag for pressure equalization, so that the packaging is a so-called airless system or Airfree system. The outer container 2 is expediently compressed laterally by a user to deliver contents, wherein the outer container can also be referred to as squeeze container. Figures 2 and 3 show in more detail that the valve 4 consists essentially of a transversely over the opening 6 of the outer container 2 extending base body 7 and a cap 8 which is snapped on the outside of the neck of the outer container 2. The base body 7, which consists for example of HDPE, lies with its circular edge region on the upper edge of the container neck 9, and is pressed by the cap 8 fixed to the container neck 9.
Der Basiskörper 7 enthält in dem sich quer über die Öffnung 6 des Behälterhalses 9 erstreckenden, plattenförmigen Abschnitt mehrere über den Umfang verteilte Durchgangsbohrungen 1 0, die den Innenraum des Innenbeutels 3 mit einem über dem plattenförmigen Abschnitt liegenden Aufnahmeraum 1 1 für das Füllgut verbinden. Der Basiskörper 7 enthält ferner mittig eine Ventilhalterung 1 2, die durch eine kreisrunde oder z.B. ovale Bodenwand 1 3 und eine kreiszylindrische oder z. B. ovale Seitenwand 14 gebildet ist, die sich von der Bodenwand 1 3 in Richtung der Oberseite der Kappe 8 erstreckt. An der zylindrischen Umfangwand 1 4 ist im Abstand von der Bodenwand 1 3 eine gewellte Trennwand 1 5 eines Ventilkörpers 1 6 fest angebracht, der außerdem einen Ventilzapfen 1 7 enthält, der von der Mitte der Trennwand 1 5 bis zu der oberen Abschlusswand der Kappe 8 verläuft. Der Ventilzapfen 1 7 und die Trennwand 1 5 sind einstückig ausgebildet, wobei unter der Trennwand 1 5 ein Luftraum 1 8 dicht eingeschlossen ist. Die gewellte Trennwand 1 5 hat radial außen einen umlaufenden Wandabschnitt 1 9, der innen an der zylindrischen Umfangswand 1 4 der Ventilhalterung 1 2 angeklebt ist. The base body 7 includes in the extending transversely across the opening 6 of the container neck 9, plate-shaped section a plurality of circumferentially distributed through holes 1 0, which connect the interior of the inner bag 3 with a lying above the plate-shaped portion receiving space 1 1 for the contents. The base body 7 also contains centrally a valve holder 1 2, which is replaced by a circular or e.g. oval bottom wall 1 3 and a circular cylindrical or z. B. oval side wall 14 is formed, which extends from the bottom wall 1 3 in the direction of the top of the cap 8. On the cylindrical peripheral wall 1 4 at a distance from the bottom wall 1 3, a corrugated partition 1 5 a valve body 1 6 fixedly mounted, which also contains a valve pin 1 7, from the center of the partition 1 5 to the upper end wall of the cap. 8 runs. The valve pin 1 7 and the partition wall 1 5 are integrally formed, wherein under the partition 1 5 an air space 1 8 is sealed enclosed. The corrugated partition 1 5 has radially outside a circumferential wall portion 1 9, the inside of the cylindrical peripheral wall 1 4 of the valve holder 1 2 is glued.
Der obere Endabschnitt des Ventilzapfens 1 7 ist durch zwei oder mehr über den Umfang verteilte, an der oberen Abschlusswand der Kappe 8 angesetzte Stege 1 9 geführt, wenn der Ventilzapfen 1 7 durch in dem Aufnahmeraum 1 1 unter Druck stehendes Füllgut nach unten gezogen wird, so dass Füllgut aus der Austrittsöffnung 5 austreten kann, wobei der Ventilzapfen 1 7 durch die Elastizität der Trennwand 1 5 und die in der Luftkammer 1 8 komprimierte Luft wieder in die in Figur 2 dargestellte Ausgangslage zurück geschoben wird, in der der Ventilzapfen 1 7 die Austrittsöffnung 5 dicht verschließt. The upper end portion of the valve pin 1 7 is guided by two or more distributed over the circumference, attached to the upper end wall of the cap 8 webs 1 9, when the valve pin 1 7 is pulled in the receiving space 1 1 under pressure filling down, so that contents can escape from the outlet opening 5, wherein the valve pin 1 7 7 by the elasticity of the partition wall 5 and in the air chamber 1 8 compressed air is pushed back into the starting position shown in Figure 2, in which the valve pin 1 7, the outlet opening 5 closes tightly.
Die Kappe 8 rastet beim Anbringen auf den Behälterhals 9 mit radial inneren, hakenförmigen Vorsprüngen 1 9 an axialen Stegen 20 unter der Außenwulst 21 am Behälterhals ein. The cap 8 engages when mounted on the container neck 9 with radially inner, hook-shaped projections 1 9 at axial webs 20 under the outer bead 21 on the container neck.
Am unteren Rand der insgesamt stufenförmig glockenartigen Kappe 8 befindet sich eine Dichtung 22, die beispielsweise in eine umlaufende Nut in der Wand der Kappe 8 eingeklebt ist und zwei radial voneinander beabstandete Dichtlippen 23 enthält, die in ringförmige Nuten in der Wand des Außenbehälters 2 eingreifen. Hierdurch ist eine untere Luftkammer 24 in der Kappe 8 gegenüber dem Außenbehälter 2 abgedichtet, abgesehen von wenigstens zwei durch die Wand des Außenbehälters führenden Bohrungen 25, die den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter 2 und dem Innenbeutel 3 mit dem Innenraum der Luftkammer 24 verbindet, sowie von zwei diametral gegenüber liegenden Belüftungsventilen 26, durch die bei Unterdruck in der Luftkammer 24 Umgebungsluft zum Druckausgleich in die Luftkammer 24 eintreten kann, durch die jedoch bei Überdruck in der Luftkammer 24 keine Luft zur Außenatmosphäre hin entweichen kann. At the lower edge of the overall stepped bell-shaped cap 8 is a seal 22 which is glued, for example, in a circumferential groove in the wall of the cap 8 and two radially spaced sealing lips 23 which engage in annular grooves in the wall of the outer container 2. As a result, a lower air chamber 24 is sealed in the cap 8 relative to the outer container 2, apart from at least two through the wall of the outer container leading holes 25 which connects the gap between the outer container 2 and the inner bag 3 with the interior of the air chamber 24, as well as two diametrically opposed vent valves 26 through which atmospheric pressure can occur in the air chamber 24 at low pressure in the air chamber 24, through which, however, can escape at excess pressure in the air chamber 24 no air to the outside atmosphere.
Hierzu haben die beiden sich jeweils über einen kurzen Kreisbogen erstreckenden Belüftungsventile 26 eine bezüglich dem Innenraum der Luftkammer 24 konvexe, d.h. zu der Luftkammer 24 hin vorgewölbte Form, wobei die Wand der Belüftungsventile jeweils einen mittigen, durch die Wand hindurchgehenden Schnitt 27 enthalten. For this purpose, the two ventilation valves 26 each extending over a short arc of a circle have a convex one relative to the interior of the air chamber 24, i. to the air chamber 24 toward bulging shape, wherein the wall of the ventilation valves each have a central, passing through the wall section 27.
Zur Abgabe von Füllgut wird der Außenbehälter 2 seitlich zusammen gedrückt, wodurch bei hierdurch fest verschlossenen Belüftungsventilen 26 ebenfalls der Innenbeutel zusammen gedrückt wird und Füllgut, das den Aufnahmeraum 1 1 ausfüllt, gegen die Oberseite der Trennwand 1 5 drückt. Dadurch wird diese mit ihrem Zapfen 1 7 nach unten gedrückt, so dass Füllgut ungehindert austreten kann. Nach Freigabe des Außenbehälters (d.h. Beendigung der Druckausübung) kehrt die Trennwand 1 5 mit dem Ventilzapfen 1 7 wieder in den abdichtenden Zustand zurück. Infolge des verringerten Volumens des Innenbeutels ist in dem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter 2 und dem Innenbeutel 3 ein Unterdruck entstanden, der zu einem Unterdruck in der Luftkammer 24 führt, mit der Folge, dass Umgebungsluft zum Druckausgleich in die Luftkammer und durch die Bohrung 25 in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Außenbehälter 2 und dem Innenbeutel 3 eintritt. For dispensing of filling material, the outer container 2 is pressed laterally together, whereby the inner bag is pressed together with thereby firmly closed ventilation valves 26 and contents that fills the receiving space 1 1, presses against the top of the partition 1 5. As a result, it is pressed with its pin 1 7 down so that contents escape unhindered can. After release of the outer container (ie termination of the pressure application), the partition wall 1 5 returns to the valve pin 1 7 back to the sealing state. Due to the reduced volume of the inner bag, a negative pressure has resulted in the space between the outer container 2 and the inner bag 3, which leads to a negative pressure in the air chamber 24, with the result that ambient air for pressure equalization in the air chamber and through the bore 25 in the Interspace between the outer container 2 and the inner bag 3 occurs.
Bei der in Figur 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform liegt der umlaufende Wandabschnitt 1 9a des Ventilkörpers an der Außenseite der zylindrischen Umfangswand 1 4a der Ventilhalterung an mit einer dazwischen liegenden Olivdichtung. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the circumferential wall portion 1 9a of the valve body is located on the outside of the cylindrical peripheral wall 1 4a of the valve holder with an intermediate olive gasket.
