Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement of a plurality of moist pads in a packaging container for delivery to the end user, wherein the pads are arranged in two stacks, such that the pads of the stack overlap in a partial area such that between two pads of a first stack Pad of a second stack protrudes into the sub-area.
- Such arrangement are from the EP 1 440 019 B1 and from the DE 10 2006 020 926 A1 known.
- the mutual overlapping arrangement of the pads of different stacks enables a simplified removal of a single pad from the packaging container as compared to an arrangement of pads in only one stack.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an arrangement with which a particularly convenient removal of a single pad from the packaging container is made possible.
- this so-called subregion in which the pads of the stacks overlap may be divided into two and in particular consist of a first overlap section and of a second overlap section, and in particular by a first overlap section intervening free surface, (ie by a material-free gap, which has a parallel to the plane of extension of a pad extending surface), be spaced.
- the pads of different stacks are mutually overlapping (alternately) arranged.
- the pads have a peripheral material recess, which serves as a grip aid.
- a grip aid can, for example, be created by an indentation of the contour of a pad.
- the pads of different stacks are oriented relative to each other at least substantially mirror-symmetrically. In this way, a symmetrical arrangement can be created with the smallest possible grip area.
- a further simplification of the removal of the pads from the packaging container results when the material recesses of the pads of different stacks are oriented in opposite directions, ie, for example, both facing the partial region (the material recesses face a packaging center of the packaging container) or both have the sub-area away (the material recesses are facing an environment of the packaging container). This results in a minimum distance of the boundaries of the material recesses of the pads of different stacks and thus a reduction of the gripping area required for gripping the pads of different stacks.
- the boundary of the pads with the exception of the material recess has a geometric basic shape, wherein the basic shape is preferably circular, oval or polygonal.
- the material recess is in particular part-circular or partially elliptical, so that the boundary of the material recess is particularly easy with a finger on or behind gripped.
- the boundary of the pad with the exception of the material recess has a circular basic shape, preferably with a basic shape associated radius between 23 and 40 mm, more preferably between 28 and 38 mm, more preferably between 32 and 38 mm, more particularly with a radius of 35 mm.
- the pads Due to the peripheral material recess, the pads have a deviating from the radius of the basic shape smallest diameter.
- the smallest diameter is measured using an imaginary line starting from the vertex of the material recess on the center of the basic shape leading to the intersection with the boundary of the pad opposite the material recess.
- the smallest diameter in particular in the case of a circular basic shape of the pad, is preferably between 25 and 73 mm, more preferably between 40 and 63 mm, more preferably between 50 and 58 mm.
- the pad having the material recess occupies a pad area between 13 and 45 cm 2 , in particular between 18 and 37 cm 2 , more particularly between 20 and 35 cm 2 .
- the pads of both stacks are identical in terms of their material and / or their shape (in particular the basic shape and / or the shape of the material recess) and / or their dimensions.
- the respective boundaries of the pads along a portion outside the material recess and / or along the material recess on a kink-free course can be provided.
- a transition, preferably both transitions, of the respective boundaries of the pads between a portion outside the material recess and the material recess is kink-free or are.
- a boundary is provided in the area of the transitions, which is well suited for comfortable grip contact.
- Knickok is understood to mean that there are no abrupt changes within the boundaries of the pads and / or along the material recesses, but in particular changes of direction by different radii merge into each other, so for example, there are rounded corners.
- the marginal material recess deviates from the basic shape of the pad, preferably in the form of a part-circular or partially elliptical indentation.
- the course of the indent limiting boundary can be determined by a radius.
- the radius of the recess may preferably correspond to the radius of the circular basic shape of the pad, wherein the radius of the basic shape is preferably between 23 and 40 mm, more preferably between 28 and 38 mm, more preferably between 32 and 38 mm, further preferably 35 mm.
- the radius of the indentation may be smaller than the radius of the basic shape of the pad.
- the radius of the recess is between 10 and 35 mm.
- the limitation of the indentation is based on the direction of the smallest diameter defined above in opposite transitions, in particular kink-free, in the basic form.
- the boundary in the transitions preferably has a radius which is smaller than the radius determining the basic shape of the pad.
- the radius in the transitions is preferably between 5 and 15 mm, more preferably 10 mm.
- the pads each have a boundary deviating from a rectilinear shape (in particular a jagged or wave-shaped boundary), the respective edge-side material recess extending inwards beyond the boundary deviating from the straight-line shape.
- each pad has exactly one marginal material recess serving as a grip aid.
- one of two mutually overlapping pads of different stacks jointly closed total area is closed. This has the advantage that the packaging volume available through a specific packaging container can be used particularly well.
- one of two mutually overlapping pads of different stacks jointly limited total area has a free surface which is bounded by at least part of the boundaries of the edge material recesses of the two pads.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung einer Mehrzahl von feuchten Pads in einem Verpackungsbehältnis zur Abgabe an den Endverbraucher, wobei die Pads in zwei Stapeln angeordnet sind, derart, dass sich die Pads der Stapel in einem Teilbereich derart überlappen, dass zwischen zwei Pads eines ersten Stapels ein Pad eines zweiten Stapels in den Teilbereich hineinragt.The invention relates to an arrangement of a plurality of moist pads in a packaging container for delivery to the end user, wherein the pads are arranged in two stacks, such that the pads of the stack overlap in a partial area such that between two pads of a first stack Pad of a second stack protrudes into the sub-area.
Solche Anordnung sind aus der
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung zu schaffen, mit welcher eine besonders komfortable Entnahme eines einzelnen Pads aus dem Verpackungsbehältnis ermöglicht wird.The present invention has for its object to provide an arrangement with which a particularly convenient removal of a single pad from the packaging container is made possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verpackungsbehältnis der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Pads des ersten Stapels und die Pads des zweiten Stapels zur Bildung einer Griffhilfe jeweils eine randseitige Materialaussparung aufweisen, und dass die Pads des ersten Stapels und die Pads des zweiten Stapels jeweils derart ausgerichtet sind, dass die Materialaussparungen der Pads des ersten Stapels und die Materialaussparungen der Pads des zweiten Stapels den Teilbereich zumindest abschnittsweise mitbegrenzen.This object is achieved in a packaging container of the aforementioned type according to the invention that the pads of the first stack and the pads of the second stack to form a grip aid each having a peripheral material recess, and that the pads of the first stack and the pads of the second stack respectively are oriented such that the material recesses of the pads of the first stack and the material recesses of the pads of the second stack mitbegrenzen at least partially the portion.
Abhängig von der Ausführung der Materialaussparung und der Anordnung der Pads in den zwei Stapeln zueinander kann dieser sogenannte Teilbereich, in welchem sich die Pads der Stapel erfindungsgemäß überlappen, zweigeteilt sein und insbesondere aus einem ersten Überlappungsabschnitt und aus einem zweiten Überlappungsabschnitt bestehen, und insbesondere durch eine dazwischen liegende Freifläche, (also durch einen materialfreien Zwischenraum, welcher eine sich parallel zu der Erstreckungsebene eines Pads erstreckende Fläche aufweist), beabstandet sein.Depending on the design of the material recess and the arrangement of the pads in the two stacks with respect to one another, this so-called subregion in which the pads of the stacks overlap according to the invention may be divided into two and in particular consist of a first overlap section and of a second overlap section, and in particular by a first overlap section intervening free surface, (ie by a material-free gap, which has a parallel to the plane of extension of a pad extending surface), be spaced.
Die Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel sind einander wechselseitig (alternierend) überlappend angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ragt jeweils zwischen zwei Pads eines Stapels nur ein einzelnes Pad eines anderen Stapels in den Teilbereich der Überlappung hinein. Alternativ hierzu können zwischen zwei Pads eines Stapels aber auch eine Mehrzahl von Pads, vorzugsweise zwei Pads, insbesondere höchstens drei Pads, eines anderen Stapels in den Teilbereich der Überlappung hineinragen, sodass jeweils zwei oder drei Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel einander wechselseitig (alternierend) überlappend angeordnet sind.The pads of different stacks are mutually overlapping (alternately) arranged. Preferably, between each two pads of a stack, only a single pad of another stack protrudes into the partial region of the overlap. Alternatively, between two pads of a stack but also a plurality of pads, preferably two pads, in particular at most three pads, another stack in the portion of the overlap protrude so that each two or three pads of different stacks are mutually overlapping (alternately) arranged ,
Erfindungsgemäß weisen die Pads eine randseitige Materialaussparung auf, welche als Griffhilfe dient. Eine solche Griffhilfe kann bspw. durch eine Einbuchtung der Kontur eines Pads geschaffen werden. Durch die Anordnung solcher randseitigen Materialaussparungen in dem Teilbereich, in welchem sich Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel einander überlappen, wird ein kompakter Griffbereich geschaffen, in welchem das Ergreifen jeweils eines Pads sich besonders komfortabel gestaltet.According to the invention, the pads have a peripheral material recess, which serves as a grip aid. Such a grip aid can, for example, be created by an indentation of the contour of a pad. The arrangement of such marginal material recesses in the sub-area in which pads of different stacks overlap each other, a compact grip area is created in which the gripping of each pad is particularly comfortable.
Insbesondere sind die Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel relativ zueinander zumindest im Wesentlichen spiegelsymmetrisch orientiert. Auf diese Weise kann eine symmetrische Anordnung mit einem möglichst kleinen Griffbereich geschaffen werden.In particular, the pads of different stacks are oriented relative to each other at least substantially mirror-symmetrically. In this way, a symmetrical arrangement can be created with the smallest possible grip area.
Eine weitere Vereinfachung der Entnahme der Pads aus dem Verpackungsbehältnis ergibt sich, wenn die Materialaussparungen der Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel in einander entgegengesetzten Richtungen orientiert sind, also beispielsweise beide jeweils in Richtung auf den Teilbereich weisen (die Materialaussparungen sind einer Verpackungsmitte des Verpackungsbehältnisses zugewandt) oder beide von dem Teilbereich weg weisen (die Materialaussparungen sind einer Umgebung des Verpackungsbehältnisses zugewandt). Hierdurch ergibt sich ein minimaler Abstand der Berandungen der Materialaussparungen der Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel und somit eine Verkleinerung des zum Ergreifen der Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel erforderlichen Griffbereichs.A further simplification of the removal of the pads from the packaging container results when the material recesses of the pads of different stacks are oriented in opposite directions, ie, for example, both facing the partial region (the material recesses face a packaging center of the packaging container) or both have the sub-area away (the material recesses are facing an environment of the packaging container). This results in a minimum distance of the boundaries of the material recesses of the pads of different stacks and thus a reduction of the gripping area required for gripping the pads of different stacks.
Bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Berandung der Pads mit Ausnahme der Materialaussparung eine geometrische Grundform aufweist, wobei die Grundform vorzugsweise kreisförmig, oval oder mehreckig ist. Die Materialaussparung ist insbesondere teilkreis- oder teilellipsenförmig, sodass die Berandung der Materialaussparung besonders einfach mit einem Finger an- oder hintergreifbar ist.It is preferred if the boundary of the pads with the exception of the material recess has a geometric basic shape, wherein the basic shape is preferably circular, oval or polygonal. The material recess is in particular part-circular or partially elliptical, so that the boundary of the material recess is particularly easy with a finger on or behind gripped.
Vorzugsweise weist die Berandung des Pads mit Ausnahme der Materialaussparung eine kreisförmige Grundform auf, vorzugsweise mit einem der Grundform zugeordneten Radius zwischen 23 und 40 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 28 und 38 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 32 und 38 mm, weiter insbesondere mit einem Radius von 35 mm.Preferably, the boundary of the pad with the exception of the material recess has a circular basic shape, preferably with a basic shape associated radius between 23 and 40 mm, more preferably between 28 and 38 mm, more preferably between 32 and 38 mm, more particularly with a radius of 35 mm.
Durch die randseitige Materialaussparung weisen die Pads einen vom Radius der Grundform abweichenden kleinsten Durchmesser auf. Der kleinste Durchmesser wird dabei gemessen anhand einer imaginären Linie ausgehend vom Scheitelpunkt der Materialaussparung über den Mittelpunkt der Grundform führend zum Schnittpunkt mit der der Materialaussparung gegenüberliegenden Berandung des Pads. Der kleinste Durchmesser, insbesondere bei einer kreisförmigen Grundform des Pads, beträgt dabei vorzugsweise zwischen 25 und 73 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 40 und 63 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 50 und 58 mm.Due to the peripheral material recess, the pads have a deviating from the radius of the basic shape smallest diameter. The smallest diameter is measured using an imaginary line starting from the vertex of the material recess on the center of the basic shape leading to the intersection with the boundary of the pad opposite the material recess. The smallest diameter, in particular in the case of a circular basic shape of the pad, is preferably between 25 and 73 mm, more preferably between 40 and 63 mm, more preferably between 50 and 58 mm.
Weiter vorzugsweise nimmt das die Materialaussparung aufweisende Pad, insbesondere das Pad mit einer kreisförmigen Grundform, eine Padfläche zwischen 13 und 45 cm2, insbesondere zwischen 18 und 37 cm2, weiter insbesondere zwischen 20 und 35 cm2 ein.Further preferably, the pad having the material recess, in particular the pad with a circular basic shape, occupies a pad area between 13 and 45 cm 2 , in particular between 18 and 37 cm 2 , more particularly between 20 and 35 cm 2 .
Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn die Pads beider Stapel hinsichtlich ihres Materials und/oder ihrer Form (insbesondere der Grundform und/oder der Form der Materialaussparung) und/oder ihrer Abmessungen identisch sind.It is further preferred if the pads of both stacks are identical in terms of their material and / or their shape (in particular the basic shape and / or the shape of the material recess) and / or their dimensions.
Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung weisen die jeweiligen Berandungen der Pads entlang eines Abschnitts außerhalb der Materialaussparung und/oder entlang der Materialaussparung einen knickfreien Verlauf auf. Hierdurch können besonders komfortabel nutzbare Pads bereitgestellt werden.According to one embodiment of the invention, the respective boundaries of the pads along a portion outside the material recess and / or along the material recess on a kink-free course. As a result, pads which are particularly useful can be provided.
Bevorzugt ist es ferner, dass ein Übergang, vorzugsweise beide Übergänge, der jeweiligen Berandungen der Pads zwischen einem Abschnitt außerhalb der Materialaussparung und der Materialaussparung knickfrei ist bzw. sind. Hierdurch wird auch im Bereich der Übergänge eine Berandung bereitgestellt, welche sich gut für einen komfortablen Griffkontakt eignet.It is further preferred that a transition, preferably both transitions, of the respective boundaries of the pads between a portion outside the material recess and the material recess is kink-free or are. As a result, a boundary is provided in the area of the transitions, which is well suited for comfortable grip contact.
"Knickfrei" wird dabei verstanden, dass keine abrupten Wechsel innerhalb der Berandungen der Pads und/oder entlang der Materialaussparungen vorliegen, sondern insbesondere Richtungsänderungen durch unterschiedliche Radien ineinander übergehen, sodass beispielsweise abgerundete Ecken vorliegen."Knickfrei" is understood to mean that there are no abrupt changes within the boundaries of the pads and / or along the material recesses, but in particular changes of direction by different radii merge into each other, so for example, there are rounded corners.
Erfindungsgemäß weicht die randseitige Materialaussparung von der Grundform des Pads ab, vorzugsweise in Form einer teilkreisförmigen oder teilellipsenförmigen Einbuchtung. Vorzugsweise kann der Verlauf der die Einbuchtung begrenzenden Begrenzung durch einen Radius bestimmt werden. Der Radius der Einbuchtung kann vorzugsweise dem Radius der kreisförmigen Grundform des Pads entsprechen, wobei der Radius der Grundform vorzugsweise zwischen 23 und 40 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 28 und 38 mm, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 32 und 38 mm, weiter vorzugsweise 35 mm beträgt. Alternativ kann der Radius der Einbuchtung kleiner als der Radius der Grundform des Pads sein. Vorzugsweise beträgt der Radius der Einbuchtung zwischen 10 und 35 mm.According to the invention, the marginal material recess deviates from the basic shape of the pad, preferably in the form of a part-circular or partially elliptical indentation. Preferably, the course of the indent limiting boundary can be determined by a radius. The radius of the recess may preferably correspond to the radius of the circular basic shape of the pad, wherein the radius of the basic shape is preferably between 23 and 40 mm, more preferably between 28 and 38 mm, more preferably between 32 and 38 mm, further preferably 35 mm. Alternatively, the radius of the indentation may be smaller than the radius of the basic shape of the pad. Preferably, the radius of the recess is between 10 and 35 mm.
Die Begrenzung der Einbuchtung geht bezogen auf die Richtung des vorstehend definierten kleinsten Durchmessers in einander gegenüberliegenden Übergängen, insbesondere knickfrei, in die Grundform über.The limitation of the indentation is based on the direction of the smallest diameter defined above in opposite transitions, in particular kink-free, in the basic form.
Die Begrenzung in den Übergängen weist vorzugsweise einen Radius auf, welcher kleiner ist als der die Grundform des Pads bestimmende Radius. Der Radius in den Übergängen beträgt vorzugweise zwischen 5 und 15 mm, weiter vorzugsweise 10 mm. Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Pads jeweils eine von einer geradlinigen Form abweichende Berandung (insbesondere eine gezackte oder wellenförmige Berandung) aufweisen, wobei sich die jeweilige randseitige Materialaussparung nach innen über die von der geradlinigen Form abweichende Berandung hinaus erstreckt.The boundary in the transitions preferably has a radius which is smaller than the radius determining the basic shape of the pad. The radius in the transitions is preferably between 5 and 15 mm, more preferably 10 mm. According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the pads each have a boundary deviating from a rectilinear shape (in particular a jagged or wave-shaped boundary), the respective edge-side material recess extending inwards beyond the boundary deviating from the straight-line shape.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn jedes Pad genau eine als Griffhilfe dienende randseitige Materialaussparung aufweist. Somit sind gleichzeitig eine komfortable Entnahme eines Pads und eine Bereitstellung einer möglichst großen Padmaterialmenge gewährleistet.It is particularly preferred if each pad has exactly one marginal material recess serving as a grip aid. Thus, at the same time a comfortable removal of a pad and a provision of the largest possible Padmaterialmenge guaranteed.
Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine von zwei einander überlappenden Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel gemeinsam begrenzte Gesamtfläche geschlossen ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das durch ein bestimmtes Verpackungsbehältnis zur Verfügung stehende Verpackungsvolumen besonders gut nutzbar ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that one of two mutually overlapping pads of different stacks jointly closed total area is closed. This has the advantage that the packaging volume available through a specific packaging container can be used particularly well.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine von zwei einander überlappenden Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel gemeinsam begrenzte Gesamtfläche eine Freifläche aufweist, welche von zumindest einem Teil der Begrenzungen der randseitigen Materialaussparungen der beiden Pads begrenzt ist. Eine solche Freifläche verkleinert zwar das auf ein bestimmtes Verpackungsbehältnis bezogene Nutzvolumen; gleichzeitig wird jedoch eine weitere Verbesserung des Entnahmekomforts erzielt, da ein sich senkrecht zur Freifläche erstreckender Raum zur Einführung eines Fingers und somit zur besonders komfortablen Entnahme eines Pads nutzbar ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that one of two mutually overlapping pads of different stacks jointly limited total area has a free surface which is bounded by at least part of the boundaries of the edge material recesses of the two pads. Although such an open space reduces the useful volume related to a specific packaging container; At the same time, however, a further improvement of the removal comfort is achieved, since a space extending perpendicularly to the free space for inserting a finger and thus for the particularly convenient removal of a pad can be used.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung ermöglicht eine besonders gute Nutzbarkeit des Volumens eines Verpackungsbehältnisses. Dies ist insbesondere gewährleistet, wenn das Verpackungsbehältnis eine Grundfläche zum Aufstellen der Stapel aufweist, wenn die Pads eine von der Berandung eines Pads umschlossene Padfläche aufweisen und wenn das Verhältnis von Grundfläche zu Padfläche zwischen 1,30 und 2,00 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 1,50 und 1,80.The arrangement according to the invention allows a particularly good usability of the volume of a packaging container. This is ensured in particular if the packaging container has a base area for setting up the stacks, if the pads have a pad surface enclosed by the edge of a pad and when the ratio of base area to pad area is between 1.30 and 2.00, preferably between 1.50 and 1.80.
Insbesondere weist das Verpackungsbehältnis eine Grundfläche zwischen 28 und 76 cm2, weiter insbesondere zwischen 35 und 55 cm2 auf.In particular, the packaging container has a base area between 28 and 76 cm 2 , more particularly between 35 and 55 cm 2 .
Ein besonders hohes Nutzvolumen ergibt sich auch dann, wenn zwei einander überlappende Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel gemeinsam eine Stapelfläche einnehmen, wenn die beiden Pads jeweils eine von der Berandung des Pads umschlossene Padfläche aufweisen und wenn das Verhältnis von Stapelfläche zu Padfläche zwischen 1,10 und 1,80 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 1,20 und 1,70.A particularly high useful volume is also obtained when two overlapping pads of different stacks jointly occupy a stack area, when the two pads each have a pad surface enclosed by the boundary of the pad and when the ratio of stack area to pad area is between 1.10 and 1, Is 80, preferably between 1.20 and 1.70.
Eine komfortable Entnahme bei gleichzeitig hohem Nutzvolumen ergibt sich auch, wenn der Teilbereich, in welchem sich Pads der Stapel überlappen, eine Überlappungsfläche aufweist, wenn die Pads jeweils einen von der Berandung des Pads umschlossene Padfläche aufweisen und wenn das Verhältnis von Überlappungsfläche zu Padfläche zwischen 0,25 und 0,90 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,28 und 0,83, insbesondere zwischen 0,40 und 0,67.A comfortable removal with simultaneous high utilization volume also results if the subregion in which pads of the stack overlap has an overlapping surface, if the pads each have a pad surface enclosed by the border of the pad and if the ratio of overlap surface to pad surface is between 0 , 25 and 0.90, preferably between 0.28 and 0.83, in particular between 0.40 and 0.67.
Eine komfortable Entnahme bei gleichzeitig hohem Nutzvolumen kann auch dadurch gewährleistet sein, dass der Teilbereich, in welchem sich die Pads der Stapel überlappen, eine Überlappungsfläche aufweist, dass das Verpackungsbehältnis eine Grundfläche zum Aufstellen der Stapel aufweist und dass das Verhältnis von Überlappungsfläche zu Grundfläche zwischen 0,12 und 0,83 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,16 und 0,50.A convenient removal with simultaneous high useful volume can also be ensured by virtue of the subregion in which the pads of the stack overlap having an overlapping surface, the packaging container having a base area for erecting the stacks and the ratio of overlapping surface to base area being between 0 , 12 and 0.83, preferably between 0.16 and 0.50.
Besondere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn das Verpackungsbehältnis eine Wandung, insbesondere eine deckelseitige Wandung aufweist, in welcher eine eine Entnahmeöffnungsfläche aufweisende, vorzugsweise lösbare verschließbare Entnahmeöffnung zur Entnahme jeweils eines Pads vorgesehen ist. Eine solche Entnahmeöffnung ermöglicht es, Einfluss darauf zu nehmen, wie komfortabel ein Pad aus dem Verpackungsbehältnis entnehmbar ist und wie stark ein mechanischer Schutz und/oder ein Schutz gegen Austrocknung feuchter Pads ausgeprägt sein soll.Particular advantages arise when the packaging container has a wall, in particular a cover-side wall, in which a removal opening surface having a, preferably releasable closable Removal opening is provided for each removal of a pad. Such a removal opening makes it possible to influence how comfortable a pad can be removed from the packaging container and how strong a mechanical protection and / or protection against desiccation of moist pads should be pronounced.
Es ist möglich, dass die gesamte Wandung des Verpackungsbehältnisses, welche die Entnahmeöffnung aufweist, entfernbar ist. Dies ist bspw. bei einem Deckel der Fall, welcher bei zu einander parallelen Seitenwänden eines Verpackungsverhältnisses zumindest im Wesentlichen dieselbe Fläche aufweist wie eine Grundfläche des Verpackungsbehältnisses, welche zum Aufstellen der beiden Stapel dient. Besonders bevorzugt ist es jedoch, wenn die Entnahmeöffnungsfläche bezogen auf die Grundfläche zum Aufstellen der Stapel kleiner ist. Insbesondere ist bevorzugt, dass das Verhältnis von Entnahmeöffnungsfläche zu Grundfläche zwischen 0,06 und 0,20 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,10 und 0,18, insbesondere zwischen 0,10 und 0,16. Die genannten Verhältnisse gehen damit einher, dass die Entnahmeöffnungsfläche bezogen auf die Grundfläche relativ klein ist, sodass ein besonders guter Schutz gegen Austrocknung der Pads bereitgestellt werden kann. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung der Materialaussparungen in dem sich überlappenden Teilbereich ist eine komfortable Entnahme der einander alternierend überlappenden Pads aber trotz der vergleichsweise kleinen Entnahmeöffnung gewährleistet.It is possible that the entire wall of the packaging container, which has the removal opening, is removable. This is the case, for example, in the case of a lid which, when the side walls of a packaging ratio are parallel to one another, has at least substantially the same area as a base area of the packaging container which serves to set up the two stacks. However, it is particularly preferred if the removal opening area is smaller relative to the base area for setting up the stacks. In particular, it is preferred that the ratio of removal opening area to base area is between 0.06 and 0.20, preferably between 0.10 and 0.18, in particular between 0.10 and 0.16. The conditions mentioned are associated with the fact that the removal opening area relative to the base area is relatively small, so that a particularly good protection against dehydration of the pads can be provided. Due to the inventive arrangement of the material recesses in the overlapping portion of a comfortable removal of each other alternately overlapping pads but guaranteed despite the relatively small removal opening.
Die Entnahmeöffnung kann dabei jegliche Form aufweisen. Vorzugsweise weist die Entnahmeöffnung eine erste Längserstreckung und eine dazu senkrechte, vergleichsweise kürzere zweite Längserstreckung auf. Die Entnahmeöffnung kann eine im Wesentlichen längliche Form, bspw. eine Rechteckform oder eine Langlochform oder eine aus diesen Formen kombinierte Form aufweisen. Die Entnahmeöffnung kann zur Verkleinerung der Entnahmeöffnungsfläche der Entnahmeöffnung einen eingeschnürten, insbesondere einen symmetrisch ausgebildeten Verlauf aufweisen.The removal opening can have any shape. The removal opening preferably has a first longitudinal extent and a second length that is perpendicular thereto and comparatively shorter. The removal opening may have a substantially elongate shape, for example a rectangular shape or a slot shape or a shape combined from these shapes. The removal opening can to reduce the removal opening area of the removal opening a constricted, in particular have a symmetrical course.
Die Entnahmeöffnung ist vorzugsweise mittig in der die Entnahmeöffnung aufweisenden Wandung des Verpackungsbehältnisses angeordnet.The removal opening is preferably arranged centrally in the removal opening having wall of the packaging container.
Weiter vorzugsweise ist die Entnahmeöffnung derart in der Wandung des Verpackungsbehältnisses angeordnet, dass die erste längere Längserstreckung der Entnahmeöffnung in Richtung der längeren Erstreckung des Verpackungsbehältnisses (bzw. der Wandung des Verpackungsbehältnisses, in welchem die Entnahmeöffnung vorgesehen ist) angeordnet ist.Further preferably, the removal opening is arranged in the wall of the packaging container such that the first longer longitudinal extent of the removal opening is arranged in the direction of the longer extension of the packaging container (or the wall of the packaging container in which the removal opening is provided).
Die Entnahmeöffnung weist insbesondere eine Entnahmeöffnungsfläche zwischen 3 und 10 cm2, weiter insbesondere zwischen 3 und 8 cm2, weiter insbesondere zwischen 3 und 7 cm2 auf. Insbesondere weist die Entnahmeöffnung eine längliche Form auf, mit der ersten längeren Längserstreckung zwischen 20 und 50 mm, insbesondere zwischen 25 und 45 mm, weiter insbesondere zwischen 30 und 40 mm.The removal opening has, in particular, a removal opening area of between 3 and 10 cm 2 , more particularly between 3 and 8 cm 2 , more particularly between 3 and 7 cm 2 . In particular, the removal opening has an elongated shape, with the first longer longitudinal extent between 20 and 50 mm, in particular between 25 and 45 mm, more particularly between 30 and 40 mm.
Ein besonders guter Schutz vor Austrocknung feuchter Pads ergibt sich, wenn die Entnahmeöffnung derart positioniert und dimensioniert ist, dass durch die Entnahmeöffnung hindurch lediglich zugänglich sind: Ein Teilabschnitt des Teilbereichs, in welchem sich die Pads der Stapel überlappen; eine Materialaussparung eines Pads des ersten Stapels oder ein Teil davon; nach Entnahme eines solchen Pads des ersten Stapels eine Materialaussparung eines Pads des zweiten Stapels oder ein Teil davon.A particularly good protection against dehydration of moist pads results when the removal opening is positioned and dimensioned such that only access is possible through the removal opening: a partial section of the partial area in which the pads of the stack overlap; a material recess of a pad of the first stack or a part thereof; after removal of such a pad of the first stack, a material recess of a pad of the second stack or a part thereof.
Eine weitere Verbesserung ergibt sich, wenn der Teilabschnitt des Teilbereichs, in welchem sich die Pads der Stapel überlappen, eine Teilabschnittsfläche aufweist, und wenn das Verhältnis von Teilabschnittsfläche und Entnahmeöffnungsfläche zwischen 0,12 und 0,90 beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,20 und 0,90, insbesondere zwischen 0,33 und 0,90.A further improvement results when the subsection of the subregion in which the pads of the stacks overlap has a subsection area, and when the ratio of subsection area and removal opening area is between 0.12 and 0.90, preferably between 0.20 and 0.90, in particular between 0.33 and 0.90.
Für den Fall, dass eine von zwei einander überlappenden Pads unterschiedlicher Stapel gemeinsam begrenzte Gesamtfläche eine Freifläche aufweist, welche von zumindest einem Teil der Begrenzungen der randseitigen Materialaussparungen der beiden Pads begrenzt ist, ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Entnahmeöffnung derart positioniert und dimensioniert ist, dass durch die Entnahmeöffnung hindurch lediglich zugänglich sind: die Freifläche oder ein Teil der Freifläche; eine Materialaussparung eines Pads des ersten Stapels oder ein Teil davon; nach Entnahme eines solchen Pads des ersten Stapels eine Materialaussparung eines Pads des zweiten Stapels oder ein Teil davon. Dies ermöglicht einen komfortablen Zugriff eines Fingers in einen senkrecht zur Freifläche anliegenden Raum und eine Entnahme eines Pads eines ersten Stapels; danach eine Entnahme eines Pads eines zweiten Stapels; danach wieder eine Entnahme eines Pads des ersten Stapels usw.In the event that one of two overlapping pads of different stacks of common stacked total area has an open area bounded by at least a portion of the boundaries of the peripheral material recesses of the two pads, it is preferred that the removal opening be positioned and dimensioned such that through the removal opening are only accessible: the open space or part of the open space; a material recess of a pad of the first stack or a part thereof; after removal of such a pad of the first stack, a material recess of a pad of the second stack or a part thereof. This allows a comfortable access of a finger in a space applied perpendicular to the free space and a removal of a pad of a first stack; thereafter a removal of a pad of a second stack; then again a removal of a pad of the first stack, etc.
Eine besonders komfortable Entnahme der Pads bei gleichzeitig kleiner Entnahmeöffnung ergibt sich, wenn die durch die Entnahmeöffnung zugängliche Freifläche oder der durch die Entnahmeöffnung zugängliche Teil der Freifläche eine Zugangsfreifläche aufweist, und wenn das Verhältnis von Zugangsfreifläche und Entnahmeöffnungsfläche zwischen 0,16 und 0,64 beträgt.A particularly convenient removal of the pads at the same time small removal opening is obtained when the accessible through the removal opening or the accessible through the removal opening part of the open space has an access area, and if the ratio of access area and Entnahmöffnungsfläche between 0.16 and 0.64 ,
Schließlich ergibt sich eine komfortable Entnahme eines Pads bei gleichzeitig kleiner Entnahmeöffnung, wenn ein senkrecht zur Entnahmerichtung gemessener Abstand einer Begrenzung der Entnahmeöffnung und der am nächsten positionierten Begrenzung der randseitigen Materialaussparung eines Pads zwischen 5 mm und 16 mm beträgt, vorzugsweise zwischen 5 mm und 12 mm, insbesondere zwischen 5 mm und 8 mm.Finally, there is a comfortable removal of a pad at the same time small removal opening when a measured perpendicular to the removal direction distance of the removal opening and the next positioned boundary of the edge material recess of a pad between 5 mm and 16 mm, preferably between 5 mm and 12 mm , in particular between 5 mm and 8 mm.
Es erweist sich weiter als vorteilhaft, wenn das Verpackungsbehältnis aus polymeren Materialien gebildet ist oder solche umfasst, wie insbesondere thermoplastische Kunststoffe, wie Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Polyester und/oder Polystyrol.It also proves to be advantageous if the packaging container is formed from or comprises polymeric materials, in particular thermoplastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester and / or polystyrene.
Das Verpackungsbehältnis weist einen Verpackungsgrundkörper mit einer Grundfläche zum Aufstellen der Stapel und einer Seitenwandung auf.The packaging container has a packaging base body with a base area for setting up the stacks and a side wall.
Vorteilhaft ist der Verpackungsgrundkörper aus den polymeren Materialien über einen Tiefziehprozess hergestellt. Ein derartiger Verpackungsgrundkörper als Tiefziehteil kann somit leicht und billig hergestellt werden, und ermöglicht zudem viele Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Auf dem Verpackungsgrundkörper ist weiter vorzugsweise eine deckelseitige Wandung aufgebracht, insbesondere mittels unlösbaren Kleb-, Siegeloder Schweißverbindungen.The packaging base body is advantageously produced from the polymeric materials by means of a deep-drawing process. Such a packaging base body as a deep-drawn part can thus be easily and inexpensively manufactured, and also allows many design options. On the packaging base body is preferably further applied a cover-side wall, in particular by means of permanent adhesive, seal or welded joints.
Die in das Verpackungsbehältnis eingebrachten Pads können aus beliebigem Material gebildet sein. Vorzugsweise können die Pads aus Faservliesstrukturen bestehen oder solche umfassen. Vorzugsweise umfassen oder bestehen die Pads aus Baumwollfasern und/oder Viskosefasern, wobei vorzugsweise auch synthetische Fasern, wie vorzugsweise Bikomponentenfasern und/oder Polyesterfasern beigemischt sein können.The introduced into the packaging container pads can be formed of any material. Preferably, the pads may consist of or include nonwoven fibrous structures. Preferably, the pads comprise or consist of cotton fibers and / or viscose fibers, preferably also synthetic fibers, such as preferably bicomponent fibers and / or polyester fibers may be added.
Die Pads sind durch übliche Vliesbildungsverfahren hergestellt, wie Kardieren, Airlaying, und insbesondere durch Verfestigungsmaßnahmen wie Wasserstrahlvernadelung und/oder thermische und/oder chemische Bindemittel verfestigt.The pads are made by conventional nonwoven forming processes, such as carding, airlaying, and in particular solidified by solidification methods such as water jet needling and / or thermal and / or chemical binders.
Die Pads sind mit einer Flüssigkeit beaufschlagt. Diese Flüssigkeit kann beispielsweise aus einer wässrigen Lösung, einer Öl-in-Wasser-Emulsion oder einer Wasser-in-Öl-Emulsion bestehen. In der Flüssigkeit können insbesondere weitere Komponenten, wie beispielsweise pflegende Extrakte, wie Aloe vera, und/oder Duftstoffe/Parfüme enthalten sein.The pads are loaded with a liquid. This liquid can consist for example of an aqueous solution, an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion. In the liquid can in particular more Components such as nourishing extracts, such as aloe vera, and / or perfumes / perfumes may be included.

Vorzugsweise ist ein Radius 62 in einem Übergangsbereich 58, 60 kleiner als der die Grundform des Pads 32, 34 bestimmende Radius 48. Insbesondere ist der Radius 62 gleich 10 mm.The
Die Pads 32, 34 sind bezogen auf ihre jeweiligen Stapelachsen 38, 42 einander entgegengesetzt orientiert. So weisen die randseitigen Materialaussparungen 50 der Pads 32 des ersten Stapels 36 in Richtung auf den zweiten Stapel 42 und die randseitigen Materialaussparungen 50 der Pads 34 des zweiten Stapels 34 weisen in Richtung auf den ersten Stapel 36. Insbesondere sind die Pads 32 und 34 dabei spiegelsymmetrisch oder zumindest im Wesentlichen spiegelsymmetrisch angeordnet, und zwar im Hinblick auf eine erste Symmetrieebene 64 (vgl.
Die Pads 32, 34 weisen eine von der Berandung 46 einschließlich der Begrenzung 52 umschlossene Padfläche 68 auf. Die Pads 32, 34 unterschiedlicher Stapel 36, 40 begrenzen gemeinsam eine Gesamtfläche 70, welche für die in

Die Einschnürung 87 ist vorzugsweise bezogen auf mindestens eine der Symmetrieachsen 64, 66 symmetrisch ausgebildet.In order to further reduce the
Zur Entnahme eines Pads 32, 34 aus dem Verpackungsbehältnis 10 wird die Verschlusslasche 24 von der Entnahmeöffnung 20 abgehoben, sodass die Entnahmeöffnungsfläche 22 freigelegt ist. Anschließend kann eine Begrenzung 52 einer randseitigen Materialaussparung 50 eines ersten Pads 32 mit einem Finger ergriffen werden, welcher im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung 20 zwischen der Begrenzung 52 der randseitigen Materialaussparung 50 und einer Begrenzung 84 der Entnahmeöffnung 20 einführbar ist. Dabei stützt sich eine Fingerkuppe auf einer Oberseite eines zweiten Pads 34 ab. Die Entnahme des ersten Pads 32 durch die Entnahmeöffnung 20 hindurch geht mit einer Verformung des Pads 32 einher. Nach Abschluss der Entnahme des ersten Pads 32 kann ein Finger in die Entnahmeöffnung 22 eingeführt werden und an der Begrenzung 52 der randseitigen Materialaussparung 50 des Pads 34 angreifen, sich dabei auf einer Oberseite des nächsten "ersten" Pads 32 abstützen und unter Verformung des zweiten Pads 34 durch die Entnahmeöffnung 20 hindurch das zweite Pad 34 aus dem Innenraum 30 entnehmen.To remove a
