Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Behälteranordnung.The present invention relates to a container assembly.

Aus der EP 97954995.3 geht ein sogenannter Doppelbehälter hervor, der zwei Behälterkammern umfasst, deren Inhalte durch ein- und dieselbe Öffnung abgebbar sind. Dabei können die beiden Behälterkammern voneinander trennbar miteinander verbindbar sein, wobei sie im miteinander verbundenen Zustand eine einheitliche Flasche bilden. Beide Behälterkammern besitzen einen gemeinsamen Verschluss, der an einer Seite des Doppelbehälters angeordnet ist.From the EP 97954995.3 goes out a so-called double container, which comprises two container chambers, the contents of which can be issued through one and the same opening. In this case, the two container chambers can be separably connected to one another, wherein they form a uniform bottle in the interconnected state. Both container chambers have a common closure, which is arranged on one side of the double container.

Aus der DE 201 07 736 111 ist eine Getränkedose bekannt, die neben einem Flüssigkeitsraum einen weiteren Hohlraum aufweist. In dem Flüssigkeitshohlraum kann ein Getränk, wie z.B. Bier oder Limonade enthalten sein, während in dem weiteren Hohlraum Gegenstände, wie z.B. Nahrungsmittel, angeordnet sein können. Dabei kann der Hohlraum die Getränkedose vollständig oder nicht vollständig durchdringen.From the DE 201 07 736 111 a beverage can is known which has a further space in addition to a liquid space. In the liquid cavity, a beverage such as beer or lemonade may be included, while in the further cavity objects, such as food, may be arranged. In this case, the cavity can completely or not completely penetrate the beverage can.

Die AU 475 148 B2 beschreibt eine Behälteranordnung, bei der im Inneren eines ersten Behälterteiles ein weiteres Behälterteil angeordnet ist.The AU 475 148 B2 describes a container arrangement in which a further container part is arranged in the interior of a first container part.

Gemäß der US 2004/159625 A1 ist eine Behälteranordnung durch eine in Querrichtung verlaufende mittlere Trennwand in ein oberes Behälterteil und ein unteres Behälterteil unterteilt, wobei die Entnahmeöffnungen der beiden Behälterteile in entgegengesetzte Richtungen weisen.According to the US 2004/159625 A1 a container assembly is divided by a transverse central partition in an upper container part and a lower container part, wherein the removal openings of the two container parts have in opposite directions.

In der US 975 939 A ist eine Behälteranordnung erläutert, die ein zylinderförmiges erstes Behälterteil umfasst, an dessen Außenwand ein zweites Behälterteil angeordnet ist. In das zweite Behälterteil ragt unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Längsachse des ersten Behälterteiles ein drittes Behälterteil hinein.In the US 975 939 A a container arrangement is explained which comprises a cylindrical first container part, on whose outer wall a second container part is arranged. In the second container part protrudes at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the first container part, a third container part.

Bei der EP 145 425 A2 sind zwei Behälterteile äußerlich derart miteinander verbindbar, dass sie insgesamt eine quaderförmige, rechteckige Behälteranordnung bilden. Auf diese Weise wird eine hohe Verpackungsdichte erreicht. Jedes Behälterteil weist eine halsförmige Entnahmeöffnung auf, die beim Aneinanderlegen der beiden Behälterteile in eine entsprechende, an die Form der Entnahmeöffnung angepasste Aussparung einschiebbar ist, die sich in dem jeweils anderen Behälterteil befindet. Im verbundenen Zustand weisen die halsförmigen Entnahmeöffnungen der beiden Behälterteile in verschiedene Richtungen.In the EP 145 425 A2 two container parts are externally connected to each other so that they form a total of a rectangular, rectangular container arrangement. In this way, a high packing density is achieved. Each container part has a neck-shaped removal opening, which can be inserted when the two container parts are placed in a corresponding recess adapted to the shape of the removal opening, which is located in the respective other container part. In the connected state, the neck-shaped removal openings of the two container parts in different directions.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Behälteranordnung zu schaffen, die extrem einfach handhabbar ist, eine Einheit für zwei unterschiedlich aufeinander abgestimmte Produktkomponenten bilden kann und die Aufbewahrung und Abgabe der Produktkomponenten wesentlich vereinfacht. Dabei sollen zwei lösbar miteinander verbindbare Behälterteile dann, wenn sie aneinander befestigt sind, eine platzsparende Einheit bilden.The object of the present invention is to provide a container assembly which is extremely easy to handle, can form a unit for two differently matched product components and greatly simplifies the storage and delivery of the product components. In this case, two detachably connectable container parts when they are attached to each other, form a space-saving unit.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Behälteranordnung gelöst, die ein erstes, eine Entnahmeöffnung aufweisendes Behälterteil und ein zweites, eine Entnahmeöffnung aufweisendes Behälterteil umfasst. Das erste Behälterteil und das zweite Behälterteil sind dabei derart miteinander verbindbar, dass die Entnahmeöffnung des ersten Behälterteiles in eine erste Richtung und die Entnahmeöffnung des zweiten Behälterteiles in eine zweite Richtung weisen.This object is achieved by a container arrangement which comprises a first container part having a removal opening and a second container part having a removal opening. In this case, the first container part and the second container part can be connected to one another such that the removal opening of the first container part point in a first direction and the removal opening of the second container part in a second direction.

Das erste Behälterteil weist eine Aussparung auf, die ausgehend von der der ersten Entnahmeöffnung gegenüberliegenden Bodenwand in das Innere des ersten Behälterteiles hinein verläuft. Das zweite Behälterteil ist in der Aussparung anordenbar. Die Aussparung greift mit einem Teilumfang in einen seitlichen Ausschnitt der Wandung des ersten Behälterteiles dicht ein, sodass ein Teilbereich des zweiten Behälterteiles von außen her sichtbar ist.The first container part has a recess which, starting from the bottom wall opposite the first removal opening, extends into the interior of the first container part. The second container part can be arranged in the recess. The recess engages with a partial circumference in a lateral section of the wall of the first container part tightly, so that a portion of the second container part is visible from the outside.

Auf diese Weise kann gemäß einem Vorteil der Erfindung ein Benutzer z.B. eine Beschriftung des zweiten Behälterteiles von außen erkennen. Wenn die Wandung des zweiten Behälterteiles und die Wandung des ersten Behälterteiles zumindest im Bereich des genannten Ausschnittes aus einem durchsichtigen Material bestehen, kann ein Benutzer vorteilhafterweise den Füllstand des zweiten Behälterteiles von außen her erkennen.In this way, according to an advantage of the invention, a user may e.g. recognize a label of the second container part from the outside. If the wall of the second container part and the wall of the first container part at least in the region of said cutout of a transparent material, a user can advantageously detect the level of the second container part from the outside.

Vorteilhaferweise sind das eine Behälterteil von einer Seite und das andere Behälterteil von der anderen, gegenüberliegenden Seite her zugänglich. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass dann, wenn die Behälteranordnung in einem aufrecht stehenden Zustand angeordnet bzw. abgestellt wird, die Öffnung des einen Behälterteiles nach oben und die Öffnung des anderen Behälterteiles nach unten weisen. Dies ist besonders wichtig und vorteilhaft, wenn in dem einen Behälterteil, dessen Öffnung nach oben weist, ein dünnflüssigeres Medium und in dem anderen Behälterteil, dessen Öffnung nach unten weist, ein dickflüssigeres Medium enthalten sind. Das dickflüssigere Medium fließt somit automatisch immer in den Bereich, der nach unten weisenden Behälteröffnung, sodass es stets zur Entnahme zur Verfügung steht. Besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf die Standfestigkeit sowie das Fließverhalten der Medien ist es dabei, wenn die erste Richtung und die zweite Richtung um 180° gegeneinander versetzt sind.Advantageously, one container part is accessible from one side and the other container part from the other, opposite side. It is thereby achieved that, when the container assembly is placed or parked in an upright condition, the opening of one container portion facing upward and the opening of the other container portion facing down. This is particularly important and advantageous when in the one container part, the opening facing up, a less liquid medium and in the other container part, the opening facing downward, a viscous medium are included. The viscous medium thus always automatically flows into the area of the downwardly pointing container opening, so that it is always available for removal. It is particularly advantageous with regard to the stability and the flow behavior of the media, when the first direction and the second direction are offset by 180 ° from each other.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Entnahmeöffnung des einen Behälterteiles der vorliegenden Behälteranordnung durch ein erstes Deckelteil verschließbar. Entsprechend ist die Entnahmeöffnung des zweiten Behälterteiles durch ein zweites Deckelteil verschließbar sei.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the removal opening of the one container part of the present container arrangement can be closed by a first cover part. Accordingly, the removal opening of the second container part is closed by a second cover part.

Bei einer anderen Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Behälteranordnung ist in der Bodenwand des ersten Behälterteiles eine Öffnung angeordnet, wobei der die Entnahmeöffnung des in dem ersten Behälterteil angeordneten zweiten Behälterteiles umgebende Wandbereich durch die Öffnung der Bodenwand verläuft. Dabei kann eine Abdichtung des Innenraumes des ersten Behälterteiles besonders einfach dadurch erfolgen, dass der den genannten Wandbereich umgebende Randbereich des zweiten Behälterteiles auf der Bodenwand des ersten Behälterteiles aufliegt. Dabei können der genannte Randbereich und die genannte Bodenwand durch Verschweißen oder Verkleben dicht miteinander verbunden sein.In another embodiment of the container arrangement according to the invention, an opening is arranged in the bottom wall of the first container part, wherein the wall region surrounding the removal opening of the second container part arranged in the first container part extends through the opening of the bottom wall. In this case, a sealing of the interior of the first container part can be carried out particularly simply by the fact that the edge region of the second container part surrounding said wall region rests on the bottom wall of the first container part. In this case, said edge region and said bottom wall may be connected tightly by welding or gluing together.

Alternativ kann eine effektive und einfache dichte Verbindung im Bereich der Öffnung der Bodenwand des ersten Behälterteiles auch dadurch erfolgen, dass an den Rand der Öffnung der Bodenwand des ersten Behälterteiles ein den die Entnahmeöffnung des zweiten Behälterteiles umgebenden Wandbereich aufnehmendes Flanschteil angesetzt ist, Dabei können das Flanschteil und der Wandbereich vorzugsweise durch Verschweißen oder Verkleben dicht miteinander verbunden sein.Alternatively, an effective and simple tight connection in the region of the opening of the bottom wall of the first container part can also take place by attaching to the edge of the opening of the bottom wall of the first container part a flange portion receiving the removal opening of the second container part and the wall portion preferably be sealed together by welding or gluing.

Eine hervorragende Standfestigkeit der vorliegenden Behälteranordnung auf einer ebenen Unterlage wird erreicht, wenn das die erste Entnahmeöffnung verschließende erste Deckelteil eine ebene Fläche besitzt, die auf der Unterlage derart anordenbar ist, dass die Behälteranordnung aufrecht steht. Entsprechend kann das die zweite Entnahmeöffnung verschließende zweite Deckelteil ebenfalls eine solche ebene Fläche besitzen. Die Behälteranordnung kann dann wahlweise mit der ersten Entnahmeöffnung oder mit der zweiten Einnahmeöffnung nach unten weisend auf der Unterlage abgestellt werden.Excellent stability of the present container assembly on a flat surface is achieved when the first lid portion closing the first extraction opening has a flat surface which can be arranged on the base such that the container arrangement is upright. Accordingly, the second removal part occluding the second removal opening may likewise have such a flat surface. The container assembly can then optionally with the first removal opening or with the second intake opening pointing down on the base.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Behälteranordnung kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass die beiden Behälterteile aus unterschiedlich harten Materialien, vorzugsweise Kunststoffmaterialien, bestehen, sodass das ein relativ dickflüssiges Medium enthaltende Behälterteil zur Entnahme leicht zusammendrückbar ist. Wenn, das andere Behälterteil, dessen Öffnung nach oben weist, aus einem relativ hartem Material besteht, ist es besonders gut geeignet, für das aus einem vergleichsweise weichen Material bestehende Behälterteil als Träger zu dienen.Another advantage of the container arrangement according to the invention can be achieved in that the two container parts made of different hard materials, preferably plastic materials, so that the containing a relatively viscous medium container part is easily squeezable for removal. If, the other container part, the opening facing upwards, consists of a relatively hard material, it is particularly well suited to serve as the carrier for the container part consisting of a comparatively soft material.

Vorteilhafterweise eignet sich die erfindungsgemäße Behälteranordnung zur Aufbewahrung der verschiedensten Materialen, besonders bevorzugt für Kosmetika. Beispielsweise kann in dem einen Behälterteil, dessen Öffnung nach oben weist, ein Shampoo enthalten, sein, während, in dem anderen Behälterteil, dessen Öffnung nach unten weist, eine vergleichsweise zähflüssige Spülung angeordnet ist. Neben viskosen Stoffen, können in den Behälterteilen jedoch auch feste, rieselfähige Stoffe, z. B. pulverförmige oder granulatförmige Materialien, angeordnet sein. Beispielsweise können die Behälterteile Zucker und Salz oder Düngemittel, getrennt für das Düngen im Sommer oder im Winter, enthalten.Advantageously, the container arrangement according to the invention is suitable for storing a wide variety of materials, particularly preferably for cosmetics. For example, in the one container part, the opening facing up, containing a shampoo, while, in the other container part, the opening facing downward, a comparatively viscous rinse is arranged. In addition to viscous substances, however, in the container parts also solid, free-flowing substances, eg. As powdery or granular materials may be arranged. For example, the container parts may contain sugar and salt or fertilizer, separated for fertilizing in summer or in winter.

Vorzugsweise weist die vorliegende, mit den Deckelteilen versehene Behälteranordnung die Form eines Zylinders auf. Es sind jedoch auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, bei denen das zweite Behälterteil in einer Aussparung angeordnet ist, die sich nicht in der Bodenwand, sondern in der Wandung des ersten Behälterteiles befindet. Dabei ist das zweite Behälterteil mit der Hilfe einer Verriegelungseinrichtung lösbar in der Aussparung befestigbar. Das zweite Behälterteil kann vollständig in der Aussparung enthalten sein, sodass es die Außenkonturen des ersten Behälterteiles ergänzt, oder auch über die Außenkonturen des ersten Behälterteiles vorstehen. Es ist auch denkbar, dass das zweite Behälterteil kleiner ist als die Aussparung.Preferably, the present, provided with the lid parts container arrangement in the form of a cylinder. However, embodiments are also conceivable in which the second container part is arranged in a recess which is not in the bottom wall but in the wall of the first container part. In this case, the second container part with the aid of a locking device releasably fastened in the recess. The second container part can be completely contained in the recess so that it complements the outer contours of the first container part, or project beyond the outer contours of the first container part. It is also conceivable that the second container part is smaller than the recess.
