Definitions
- the invention relates to a container, in particular a canister, for the storage and / or transport of liquids with
- At least one pouring spout arranged on the upper side of the container with a closable outlet opening
- a ventilation duct which extends from an upper end of the channel in the region of the Ausg hasslestutzens up to a lower end of the channel into the container interior.
- the container is preferably a stackable container and consequently particularly preferably a stackable canister.
- a stackable container generally has in the region of the container top form-fitting elements, for example indentations and / or formations and in the region of the container underside positive-locking elements, for.
- the container is preferably made of thermoplastic material, in particular by means of blow molding or stretch blow molding. But there are also other manufacturing processes into consideration.
- the pour spout may be molded to the container top.
- the container is used for the transport and storage of liquids or fluid media, for example, chemicals, oils or the like.
- the container has a ventilation channel, which is intended to compensate for a vacuum created when the container is emptied. This is to a "gluckerskis" emptying the container are made possible.
- the spout is also referred to as outlet and he serves in the
- the container is a canister, it has a handle, which is molded onto the container top.
- the invention also includes other containers, e.g. Bottles, packaging containers or the like. Even with such other containers, the pour spout (integrally) may be integrally formed on the container top. But there is also the possibility that the pouring spout from a separate container part, z. B is formed of a plastic molding, e.g. produced by injection molding. Such a plastic molding is e.g. used in packaging containers made of composite materials or the like.
- a container with a ventilation duct of the type described in the introduction is known, for example, from EP 0 677 445 B1.
- the ventilation duct is pulled up into the outlet and opens with its rear end with an outlet opening into the container interior.
- the interior of the handle is not connected to the ventilation duct. It is therefore provided a separate from the handle ventilation duct.
- the bottom of the substantially horizontally above the upper bottom of the container extending ventilation duct should run at an angle of 2 ° to 15 ° obliquely downward to the inlet and Ausg hasslestutzen opposite container side wall.
- the ventilation channel is brought up so far that an uninterrupted thread is maintained and thus the sealing surface of the opening of the inlet and Ausg screensstutzens is closed throughout circular throughout.
- WO 00/27712 A1 describes a container in which the cavity formed in the interior of the handle is designed as a ventilation channel, which extends from the front region of the outlet nozzle into the rear region of the container, so that
- the ventilation duct is pulled up into the outlet port, namely to a level slightly below the outlet opening.
- a slot-like opening is provided which extends to extends almost to the area of the channel deepest. In this way it should be ensured that liquid which enters the grip channel, can flow through this opening and consequently over the region of the outlet.
- the handle is partially hollow with arranged inside handle channel, wherein the handle channel is at least partially formed as a ventilation channel and with its end facing the outlet to the area of the outlet or the area below the outlet extends and there opens into this area.
- the grip channel has in its channel deepest at least one connection opening, which connects the grip channel with the container interior (see DE 10 2009 021 997 A1).
- WO 99/1 1524 A1 describes a container in which the handle channel of the ventilation is used. In addition to the ventilation duct another channel is connected, which extends below the handle to the rear of the container.
- the front end portion of the handle is formed with a smaller cross-section than the central portion of the handle forming the interior of the handle.
- the rear end portion of the handle is formed with a smaller cross-section than the central portion of the handle forming the interior of the handle.
- the invention has for its object to provide a container, in particular canisters of the type described above, which is characterized by a simple design and simple and cost-effective production by proper handling and allows a "gluckerwalk" emptying.
- the invention teaches in a generic container of the type described above, that the cross section of the ventilation duct decreases at least partially from the upper end of the channel to the lower end of the channel. Consequently, the ventilation channel tapers at least partially from the upper end of the channel to the lower end of the channel.
- a container e.g. Canister provided, in which the ventilation duct is not in communication with the interior of the possibly existing handle, that is, the handle itself is not involved in the ventilation concept, but the ventilation takes place exclusively via the ventilation duct according to the invention.
- this ventilation duct does not extend from the region of the outlet nozzle or from the region below the outlet nozzle, as is customary in the prior art, into the rear region of the container, but only into a region between the pouring nozzle and the rear handle end of the handle , Particularly preferably, the lower end of the channel is arranged in a side view in the container half associated with the pour spout, preferably in the container third assigned to the pour spout.
- the invention is based on the finding that it is expedient to realize the ventilation function exclusively with a separate ventilation duct, without a handle being included in the ventilation concept. In this way, it is initially prevented that liquids can collect in the handle.
- the invention has recognized that it is not necessary to draw such a separate ventilation duct into the rear end of the container, but that it is possible to work with a relatively short ventilation duct which also ends with its lower end in the front region of the container, if the ventilation channel has a "down" tapered cross-section.
- the channel preferably has a larger cross section at its upper end than at its lower end. This prevents liquid from entering the ventilation duct. Because with the containers known from practice there is the problem that in the course of emptying the liquid penetrates where actually the air is to penetrate for venting, namely in the area of the ventilation duct. By dimensioning this invention is this
- the tapered channel also facilitates post-flow of the air similar to a "jet effect".
- the container according to the invention is characterized by a simple structure, because the handle itself does not have to be included in the ventilation concept. It can be worked with squeezed handle. In addition, only a relatively short ventilation duct is required. Nevertheless, a perfect ventilation or ventilation succeeds, so that a gluckertransport emptying is realized, without the risk that accumulate fluid residue in certain areas of a channel.
- the cross-section (i.e., cross-sectional area) of the vent channel at the lower channel end is smaller than the cross-section at the upper channel end.
- Cross-section at the upper or lower end of the channel means, if different projections or sections in the region of the channel end are possible due to the geometry, in each case the minimum cross-sectional area.
- the cross section at the lower end of the channel is at least 20% lower than at the upper end of the channel, particularly preferably at least 40%. It is preferably provided that the ventilation duct tapers continuously and / or stepwise from the upper channel end in the direction of the lower channel end without widening.
- the invention also includes embodiments in which, in spite of regionally tapering, widenings are also realized from the upper channel end in the direction of the lower channel end, in which case it must nevertheless be ensured that the cross section at the lower channel end is smaller than the cross section at the upper channel end.
- the interior of the handle is closed at least partially. This succeeds, for example, in that the handle is squeezed. In any case, the handle is not integrated into the ventilation duct concept.
- the tapered ventilation duct can extend into a region lying in a side view between the pouring spout and the rear grip end of the handle. It is therefore within the scope of the invention that the tapered ventilation duct is oriented at least partially obliquely to the vertical, based on a vertical orientation of the container. The lower end of the channel is therefore not arranged directly under the upper channel end in such an embodiment, but laterally or rearwardly, offset towards the center of the container. Alternatively, however, the invention also encompasses embodiments in which the tapering ventilation channel is oriented essentially perpendicular to the vertical, again with reference to a stationary orientation of the container.
- the lower end of the channel is consequently not arranged laterally or rearwardly offset in the container interior, but directly below the upper channel end.
- the ventilation duct is completely integrated in the pouring spout, ie both the upper end of the channel and the lower end of the channel are arranged within the pouring spout.
- the ventilation duct extends with its lower end into an area below the pouring spout, without however being arranged offset to the pouring spout.
- the invention has recognized that the advantages described can also be achieved with a relatively short, vertically oriented ventilation duct, which may possibly even be completely integrated into the pouring spout.
- the described effects prevent liquid from penetrating into the ventilation channel, so that the ventilation channel can perfectly fulfill its ventilation function in which the air flows in. This succeeds even when the ventilation duct is as it were in the liquid.
- the pouring spout is preferably formed as an integral part of the container and thus integrally with the container.
- the ventilation duct is also integrally formed in the pouring spout or in the container.
- the ventilation duct is thus produced in the course of the shaping of the container, for. B. during blow molding.
- the pour spout is made as a separate component. Even then, however, the ventilation duct can be made in one piece with this pouring spout.
- the ventilation duct is arranged in a separately manufactured molded part which is fastened in or on the pouring spout of the container.
- Such a separate molding with ventilation duct can, for. B. be useful for retrofitting existing container. In addition, it may be expedient for manufacturing reasons to provide the ventilation duct in a separate molded part.
- Such a separate molding can, for. B. be formed as an injection molded part.
- the invention particularly preferably provides a container manufactured in one piece with pour spout and ventilation channel.
- Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a canister according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows the canister of Fig. 1 in a simplified representation in the course of
- FIG 3 is a plan view of a second embodiment (detail)
- Fig. 4 shows a section B-B through the article of Fig. 3.
- a stackable container in the embodiment is shown as a stackable canister for the storage and transport of liquids.
- the container is made of thermoplastic z. B. produced by way of blow molding.
- the container has a pouring spout 2, which is integrally formed on the container top 1 in the front edge region, with an outlet opening 3.
- the pour spout is cylindrical and has an external thread 4, so that the outlet opening 3 can be closed with a screw cap, not shown.
- the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical pouring spout 2 extends essentially in a vertical orientation and consequently perpendicular to the horizontally oriented container top side 1.
- the container has an integrally formed on the container top 1 handle 5, which is closed on both sides in the embodiment, d. H. the interior of the handle 5 is not in communication with the container interior. Consequently, no liquid can enter the interior of the handle 5.
- the container has a ventilation channel 6, which extends from an upper channel end 7 in the region of the pouring spout 2 to a lower channel end 8 into the container interior 9. Consequently, this ventilation duct 6 likewise does not communicate with the handle 5 or the interior of the handle.
- the cross-section of the ventilation duct 6 at least partially decreases from the upper channel end 7 to the lower channel end 8.
- the ventilation duct 6 tapers from top to bottom. It is shown in the figures that the cross-section B of the ventilation duct at the lower channel end 8 is smaller than the cross-section A at the upper channel end 7. In Figure 1 this is shown by the partial view of the top of the channel 6, where the cross-sectional areas A and B are indicated schematically. Incidentally, in the figures, in addition to the cross-sectional areas A and B, there are also exemplified gap widths x and y at the upper channel end 7 and lower channel end 8, these gap widths x, y then referring only to one dimension / direction. Decisive for the pressure conditions is the respective entire cross-sectional area A or B.
- the invention is based on the recognition that it is not necessary to pull the ventilation duct 6 into the rear region of the container when the tapering of the cross section according to the invention is realized.
- This is illustrated by the simplified Figure 2, which shows the container in the course of pouring liquid F. It can be seen how the liquid F emerges from the container. In addition, it is indicated how air L flows into the container. Due to the inventive tapering of the channel 6, the air L can flow smoothly without liquid F penetrating into the ventilation channel, although the channel 6 does not extend into the rear end of the container.
- Figures 1 and 2 thus show an embodiment of the invention in which the tapered ventilation duct obliquely to the vertical - related
- Figures 3 and 4 show a modified embodiment in which the tapered ventilation duct 6 is oriented perpendicular to the vertical.
- the lower channel end 8 is consequently not offset from the upper channel end 7, but directly below the upper channel end 7.
- this vertically oriented ventilation channel 6 is completely integrated into the pouring spout 2.
- This vertical arrangement of the ventilation duct 7 means that not only the upper channel end 7 but also the lower channel end 8 is (completely) visible in the plan view of the pouring spout (compare FIG. 3).
- the invention in one embodiment as a canister made in one piece of plastic, e.g. by blow molding.
- the invention also encompasses other types of containers, e.g. Bottles, packaging containers or the like.
- the pour spout are formed by a plastic molded part which is manufactured separately and e.g. is connected to a packaging box or a composite package.
- Such a plastic molded part can also be configured in the manner according to the invention with a ventilation duct. This embodiment is not shown in the figures.
