Definitions
- the invention relates to a package for articles with a flexible or dimensionally stable container, which consists of a liquid-impermeable material, wherein the container is closable and vacuumable.
- Such packaging is used for storage and transportation of objects of all kinds.
- the packaging protects the objects from external influences.
- the items may be, for example, food or other food, feed, plants or parts of plants, coins or man-made
- the items can either secrete liquid themselves, such as meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.
- liquid themselves such as meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.
- the leaking liquid must be collected and the contact between the item and the liquid avoided, in order to avoid the formation of unpleasant odors and to make the item more durable.
- packages for pourable items such as cereals, feed, coffee, cocoa or tea, in which a moistening of the items during long storage or long transport is avoided. Such moisture leads to decay or
- the moisture may be contained either in the articles themselves or in the air surrounding the articles. Further will be packed sensitive items such as coins in a container to protect their surface from oxidation and mechanical influences. Since oxidation is promoted by contact of the coins with oxygen, vacuum vessels are used.
- the invention has for its object to provide an airtight packaging for objects in which the penetration and Ausdringen of liquid or moisture is prevented, and in which the liquid contained in the container and / or moisture and / or gases are collected, without the object to be packaged with the collected
- Liquid, moisture or the gases come into contact.
- the packaging is characterized in that a hollow body is arranged in a vacuumable container next to the object to be packaged, which has two hollow body parts: a first hollow body part with an opening which is formed as a central opening, and a second hollow body part, which in a closed position the central opening of the first hollow body part completely covers and at least partially releases the central opening in an open position.
- the container may be wholly or partly made of a flexible or dimensionally stable material.
- the container may for example consist of a bag made of a plastic film.
- the container may have a dimensionally stable plate or shell and a cover made of a film.
- the container may have a dimensionally stable vessel with a dimensionally stable lid or a dimensionally stable cover.
- the hollow body consists of a dimensionally stable material, so that the
- Hollow body in generating a negative pressure in the container substantially retains its shape.
- the volume that limits the dimensionally stable hollow body thus remains substantially constant even when generating a negative pressure in the bag. It does not change or only slightly.
- To support ribs or webs may be arranged on the hollow body. These stabilize the shape of the hollow body under the action of forces that occur during the evacuation of the container.
- the hollow body has at least one first hollow body part and at least one second hollow body part, which are both movable relative to each other, so that they can pass from an open position to a closed position and vice versa.
- the first hollow body part has at least one opening, which can also be referred to as a central opening.
- the first hollow body part can either be free of openings with the exception of this central opening or contain further openings.
- the second hollow body part is designed to close the central opening of the first hollow body part in a closed position. In the open position, the second hollow body part releases the opening of the first hollow body part at least partially. If, in addition to a central opening, further openings are provided on the first hollow body part, the second hollow body part in a closed position can either cover it or not.
- the second hollow body part may be formed as a lid with or without openings.
- the hollow body may be formed identically to the first hollow body part and have a central opening, which is covered in the closed position by the first hollow body part.
- the hollow body is not liquid-tight in the closed position and not sealed gas-tight. In the closed position remains between the first and second hollow body part a gap, such as a slot.
- the gap is formed free of a liquid-tight or gas-tight seal. This results in that liquid or gaseous media contained in the container can penetrate into the hollow body. Due to the
- volume and pressure conditions migrate liquids or gases into the container after pumping off or sucking off and closing the container are contained in the dimensionally stable hollow body. They follow the principle of Le Chatelier. Thus, liquids and gases accumulate in the hollow body. The pressure and volume ratios in the container prevent the liquid and the gases from escaping from the hollow body again, as long as the container is hermetically sealed. A contact between the one in the
- Container-packed object on the one hand and the hiked into the hollow body liquids and gases is prevented.
- the liquids and gases thus do not affect the condition of the item packed in the container.
- the article and an opened hollow body are introduced simultaneously or successively into an opened container. Then the air contained in the container or other media are sucked through an opening. In this case, a negative pressure relative to the atmosphere surrounding the container is generated in the container.
- the container is sealed airtight. For this purpose, the opening of the container is closed. Then there is a vacuum in the container. The process of pumping or sucking the media contained in the container and then closing the container is called evacuation or
- the second hollow body part When sucking the media contained in the container, the second hollow body part is in its closed position, in which it covers the opening of the first hollow body part. Since the hollow body is initially still in a position in which the opening of the first hollow body part is at least partially released, the interior of the
- Containers migrate still contained in the container liquid and the still contained gases in the hollow body.
- the liquid and the Gases are either still contained in the container despite the sucking done before closing the container or separated from the object over a certain period of time.
- the first hollow body part with the exception of the opening which can be covered by the second hollow body part, formed free of openings. If the second hollow body part likewise has no additional openings, liquids or gases can only reach the closed position in the hollow body through the intermediate space between the first and second hollow body parts. Assign the first and second
- Hollow body part with the exception of the central opening of the first hollow body part no additional openings, so the hollow body is closed in the closed position. This has the advantage that the liquid contained in the hollow body remains substantially in the hollow body even when the container is opened and the packaged article and the hollow body are removed from the container.
- the hollow body is formed free of liquid-tight and gas-tight seals.
- the second hollow body part is in the closed position on the first hollow body part.
- the second hollow body part overlaps the first
- Hollow body part or the first hollow body part, the second hollow body part As a result, in the case of a container consisting at least partially of flexible material, it is prevented that parts of the container are drawn into the hollow body during pumping when the hollow body passes from the open position into the closed position.
- the first hollow body part and the second hollow body part snap into each other in the closed position.
- elastically deformable closing parts or locking parts may be provided on the hollow body. As a result, the closed hollow body does not automatically move into the open position, in particular after removal from the container. In this way it is prevented that liquids contained in the hollow body escape undesirably.
- first hollow body part and the second hollow body part snap into one another
- This intermediate position guarantees on the one hand, that the interior of the hollow body can be pumped and that on the other hand, the hollow body can quickly and easily go into the closed position.
- the container consists of a flexible material. It may, for example, be a flexible bag. This is preferably made of plastic.
- the container consists at least partially of a dimensionally stable material. It can be provided, for example, a dimensionally stable shell or tray, which are covered by a flexible film.
- the first hollow body part and the second hollow body part are connected to each other via a hinge.
- a hinge This may be a film hinge, for example.
- the hollow body can be made of one piece in plastic, wherein the first and second hollow body part are connected to each other in the open state captive.
- the first and second hollow body part can also be designed as two separate components. In this case, they are not connected in fully open position.
- the second hollow body part is arranged in a position which at least partially releases the opening of the first hollow body part, before the hollow body is introduced into the container.
- arranged on the first and second hollow body part connecting parts serve, which lock the hollow body in an intermediate position.
- the second hollow body part automatically passes into the closed position covering the opening of the first hollow body part when a negative pressure is generated in the container.
- a negative pressure in the at least partially made of flexible material container
- the volume in the container is reduced.
- the flexible material of the container attaches to the hollow body and the object to be packaged.
- a force is exerted on the first and second hollow body part. This force pushes the first and second hollow body part in the closed position. No additional forces are necessary for this.
- FIG. 1 shows a packaging with a container 1 in the form of a flexible bag made of plastic film, in which an object 2 to be packaged and a hollow body 3 are arranged.
- the container 1 is opened in FIG.
- the container 1 has on its upwardly facing side an opening 4, which is not yet closed.
- the article 2 and the hollow body 3 are arranged side by side in the container.
- the object and the hollow body can be arranged adjacent to each other so that they touch each other.
- the hollow body 3 has a first hollow body part 5 and a second hollow body part 6, which are movably connected to one another via a hinge 7, for example a film hinge.
- the first hollow body part 5 is as
- the first hollow body part 5 is formed with the exception of the central opening 9 free of openings.
- the second hollow body part 6 is formed as a lid. In the open position according to FIG. 1, the second hollow body part releases the opening 9 of the first hollow core part. The opening 9 is not covered.
- the container 1 according to FIG. 1 is closed and vacuumed.
- the opening 4 on the container 1 is closed.
- the hollow body 3 is closed.
- the second hollow body part 6 covers the opening 9 of the first hollow body part 5.
- the opening 9 is closed in such a way that the interior of the hollow body through the opening is no longer visible.
- the opening 9 is covered in such a way that the object 2 can not penetrate into the hollow body 3.
- the cover of the opening 9 through the second hollow body part allows the exchange of liquid and gaseous media, so that liquids and gases can get into the hollow body, even if the opening 9 is covered.
- FIG. 3 shows that the container 1 has a flexible front side 13, which rests against the object 2 and the hollow body 3 in the closed and vacuum-sealed state of the packaging. Furthermore, the container 1 has a rigid rear side 14 in comparison with the front side, which does not change its shape during vacuuming or only insignificantly changes its shape.
- the article 2 is packed with the package as follows:
- the article 2 and an open hollow body 3 are introduced simultaneously or successively in an open container 1 and arranged side by side. Then the air contained in the container or other media are sucked through the opening 4. In this case, a negative pressure relative to the atmosphere surrounding the container is generated in the container.
- the container 1 becomes locked.
- the opening 4 of the container 1 is closed. There is a vacuum in the container.
- the second hollow body part 6 moves into its closed position, in which it covers the opening 9 of the first hollow body part 5. Due to the pressure and volume ratios in the closed and pumped container 1, the liquid still contained in the container 1 and the still contained gases migrate into the hollow body 3. In this case, the liquid and the gases despite the suction before closing the container still in small residues may be contained in the container or segregated from the article for a period of time.
- the liquid and the gases migrate through the slot between the first hollow body part 5 and the second hollow body part 6 into the hollow body 3.
- the pressure and volume ratios in the container 1 prevent the liquid and the gases from escaping from the hollow body 3, as long as the container 1 is hermetically sealed.
- the liquid level 15 of the liquid contained in the hollow body 3 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
