Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plastic container.
  • Numerous plastic containers are known from the prior art. Usually, such plastic containers have a bottom region, an adjoining main body, a shoulder region and an orifice region. Furthermore, different methods and devices for filling these containers are known from the prior art.
  • the invention also relates to a method for filling a plastic container according to the invention.
  • PET containers or bottles In the known from the prior art containers, in particular PET containers or bottles, is usually located below the mouthpiece or the mouth of a cylindrical portion having a predetermined length. This cylindrical portion is usually followed by an inward, i. to the interior of the container towards curved area, which usually connects tangentially to this cylindrical part.
  • This area can in turn be followed by another curved area or a straight part. These areas can in turn go into several radii or straight lines, which have as limit the maximum container diameter.
  • the diameter of the bottle neck is variable.
  • the FR 1 594 446 A1 and the US 2008/093330 A1 each show a plastic container.
  • the second mentioned document discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the US 2004/195 199 A1 shows a hotfill container for filling hot liquids to be filled.
  • the known from the prior art containers have the disadvantage that in particular in the mouth region of the containers, the filling product does not run off the wall, but the flow is disturbed by the interior design of the container and thereby can tear off.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container which facilitates its filling with such products, which are filled through the inner wall of the container. This object is achieved by a container according to claim 1 and a filling method according to claim 9.
  • Claim 1 relates to a plastic container having a mouth region, a shoulder region adjoining the mouth region in a longitudinal direction of the plastic container, a base body adjoining this shoulder region in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container, and a bottom region adjoining the main body in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container, wherein the shoulder region widens in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container from the mouth region in the direction of the main body, and wherein a transition region is provided between the mouth region and the shoulder region, the transition region having a section widening in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container from the mouth towards the shoulder region a straight line, wherein the transition region next to the section with the straight course another, starting from the mouth Area in the direction of the body, adjacent to the section has section.
  • the section has a concavely curved course, wherein the curved section adjoins the widening section tangentially.
  • the inner wall of the container in the said section has a straight course or extends in a straight direction and in particular in a straight direction, which lies with the longitudinal direction of the container in a common plane.
  • this is at the widening portion to a frustoconically widening section.
  • This section is thus advantageously obliquely to the above-mentioned longitudinal direction of the container.
  • Another advantage of this approach is an improved material distribution of the plastic material.
  • this rectilinear region instead of an inwardly pointing radius of curvature more material can be pulled out of the mouth region of the container and thus material can be saved. If, for example, said rectilinear course is already specified on the mold wall, it is possible for the thinned and tempered (plastic) material to better fit against the mold wall and to formally slide around the edges and thus to thinn out cleanly. In the prior art, the material was fixed in this area and thus could not be distributed to other areas of the container.
  • a straight-line or essentially rectilinear course is understood to mean that a radius of curvature in this range is greater than 10 cm, preferably greater than 20 cm and particularly preferably greater than 40 cm. Preferably, no sections with radii of curvature less than 10 cm occur in said substantially rectilinear section.
  • the curved section has a radius of curvature which lies between 0.1 mm and 4.0 mm, preferably between 0.5 mm and 3.0 mm, whereby, starting from the mouth region in the direction of the main body, another section adjoins the section connects, which is either straight or curved.
  • the further section adjoins the curved section tangentially, so that the curvature of the curved section increases in the direction from the mouth region towards the main body.
  • the widening portion extends at an angle to the longitudinal direction, and the angle is between 0.01 ° and 80 °, preferably between 2 ° and 65 °.
  • the specified angle are particularly well suited to achieve a uniform filling of the container on the inner wall. By the above sizes can be particularly efficient tearing off of the filling flow can be prevented within the container.
  • sample bottles with different geometries in the area of the neck initial geometry were produced and filled with a blow mold.
  • the plastic material is in particular PET, but other plastic materials may also be used.
  • the mouth region has a cylindrical section, to which the transition region adjoins.
  • the expanding portion has a length that is between 0.01 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 0.1 mm and 40 mm, and especially preferably between 1 mm and 20mm.

  • the rectilinear portion directly adjoins the cylindrical portion. It is possible that an edge is formed between the rectilinear and the cylindrical portion, but it would also be a (short) tangential transition possible. In a further advantageous embodiment, the shoulder area expands starting from the transition area.
  • the container has a support ring.
  • This support ring can already be used in the production, to transport the container.

  • a blow molding process and in particular a stretch blow molding process is used for the production of this container.
  • the shoulder area widens in relation to the transition area.
  • this shoulder area can in turn widen conically, but it would also be here a curved example, concave or convex expansion possible.
  • the container has an external thread.
  • the container also has a retaining ring which serves to tear open a closure seal when the container is opened.
  • the cylindrical portion is at least partially and preferably arranged completely below the support ring.
  • the cylindrical section preferably has a length which is between 0.01 and 8 mm, preferably between 0.1 and 7 mm and particularly preferably between 1 mm and 6 mm and particularly preferably between 3 mm and 5 mm.
  • the plastic container is at least in the mouth region and the shoulder region and the transition region rotationally symmetrical.
  • the plastic container has an internal volume which is between 0.1 l and 5 l, preferably between 0.25 l and 4 l.
  • the shoulder region and / or the base body of the plastic container is formed edge-free in the circumferential direction, i. in particular here has no edges that extend in a longitudinal direction of the plastic container.
  • the entire transition region is composed of a plurality of, in particular, differently curved sections, wherein at least one of these sections also has the above-mentioned rectilinear profile.
  • the present invention is further directed to a method of filling a plastic container according to claim 9.
  • the liquid is applied to the inner wall region in the mouth region of the container.
  • the liquid is applied at least partially to an inner wall section of the mouth region of the plastic container.
  • the liquid is applied in a direction to the inner wall of the container, which also has a component in the circumferential direction of the container.

  • This container 1 has a mouth region 2, via which the container 1 z. B. liquid can be supplied or removed.
  • an external thread 24 is arranged at this mouth region 2.
