Description

Produktverpackung für ReinigungsmittelProduct packaging for detergents

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Produktverpackung für Reinigungsmittel, insbesondere eine Sichtverpackung (Blisterverpackung), die es dem Kunden erlaubt, den verpackten Gegenstand zu sehen.The present invention relates to a product packaging for cleaning agents, in particular a blister packaging, which allows the customer to see the packaged item.

Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Produktverpackung für stückförmige Mittel, die zum Reinigen und Beduften von Toiletten dienen und in WC-Körbchen oder hakenförmigen Hängevorrichtungen am Rand der Toilettenschüssel befestigt werden oder in die Toilettenschüssel geklebt oder in den Wassertank eingebracht werden können und in Blisterverpackungen angeboten werden.In particular, the present invention relates to a product packaging for lumpy compositions which are used for cleaning and scenting toilets and which are fastened in toilet baskets or hook-shaped hanging devices on the edge of the toilet bowl or can be glued into the toilet bowl or introduced into the water tank and are offered in blister packs .

In diesen Sicht- (Blister)verpackungen sind die Produkte für den Verbraucher sichtbar, und auf der Rückwand der Verpackung, die beispielsweise aus Pappe, Kunststoff oder aluminium-kaschiert sein kann, befinden sich dann die erforderlichen Produktinformationen.In these blister packs, the products are visible to the consumer, and the required product information is then on the back wall of the packaging, which can be made of cardboard, plastic or aluminum, for example.

Es ist bekannt, die stückförmigen Toilettenreinigungsmittel aus der jeweiligen Masse zu extrudieren, in Stücke zu schneiden und dann in die entsprechende Blisterverpackung einzufügen. Bei Reinigungsmitteln, die aus einer Schmelze hergestellt werden wie beispielsweise transparente Seifen, die Natriumstearat enthalten, erfolgt die Herstellung so, dass die heiße Masse in eine Form gegossen wird, wo sie erkaltet. Anschließend wird entformt und nachfolgend dieser erkaltete Formkörper in z.B. eine Blisterverpackung endverpackt.It is known to extrude the piece-shaped toilet cleaning agents from the respective mass, to cut them into pieces and then to insert them into the corresponding blister pack. Detergents made from a melt, such as transparent soaps containing sodium stearate, are made by pouring the hot mass into a mold where it cools. Subsequently, the mold is removed and subsequently this cooled shaped body in e.g. a blister pack is finally packed.

In Bezug auf die aus einer Schmelze hergestellten stückförmigen Reinigungsmittel wäre es aus ökologischen Gründen sowie wegen der Kosten- und Zeitersparnis wünschenswert, die Verkaufsverpackung (Blisterverpackung) selbst als Gießform zu verwenden, weil dadurch das Entformen und Einlegen des Reinigungsmittelstücks in die Blisterverpackung vermieden werden könnte.With regard to the piece-shaped cleaning agents produced from a melt, it would be desirable for ecological reasons and because of the cost and time savings to use the sales packaging (blister packaging) itself as a casting mold, because this would prevent the detergent piece from being removed from the mold and inserted into the blister packaging.

Versuche, die heiße Reinigungsmittelmasse in die Blisterverpackung zu gießen, sind jedoch daran gescheitert, dass das gegossene und erkaltete Toilettenreinigungsmittel in der Blisterverpackung festklebt und aus dieser nicht mehr ohne Beschädigung der Form oder der Oberfläche des Mittels entformt werden kann.Attempts to pour the hot detergent mass into the blister pack have failed, however, because the poured and cooled toilet detergent sticks in and out of the blister pack cannot be removed from the mold without damaging the shape or the surface of the agent.

Anmelderseitig wurde versucht, das Entformen aus der Verkaufsverpackung durch den Einsatz von Trennmitteln zu verbessern. Trennmittel werden verwendet, um bei Abformprozessen ein Verkleben der Form mit dem gegossenen Teil zu verhindern. Versuche mit dem Trennmittel Wachs führten jedoch nicht zum Erfolg, da das Wachs mit der warmen Gießmasse reagiert und die Trennmittelschicht durch das heiße Eingießen zerstört wird.On the part of the applicant, attempts were made to improve the removal from the sales packaging by using release agents. Release agents are used to prevent the mold from sticking to the cast part during molding processes. However, attempts with the release agent wax were unsuccessful, since the wax reacts with the warm casting compound and the release agent layer is destroyed by hot pouring.

Um Lebensmitteln wie z.B. Eiskreme oder Käse ein handgefertigtes Aussehen zu verleihen, sind aus der WO 2005/ 068 318 A1 Verpackungen mit strukturierten Innenflächen bekannt, die die Strukturen auf den Lebensmitteln abbilden.To give foods such as ice cream or cheese a hand-made look, are from the WO 2005/068 318 A1 Known packaging with structured inner surfaces that map the structures on the food.

Die WO 2012/148 936 A1 lehrt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von strukturiertem Gewebe, das dem Nutzer ein angenehmes haptisches Gefühl oder einen guten optischen Eindruck vermitteln soll.The WO 2012/148 936 A1 teaches a process for the production of structured fabric, which should give the user a pleasant haptic feeling or a good visual impression.

Aus der JP 2006-315686 A ist eine Press-Trough-Pack-Verpackung bekannt, die einer verbesserten Lichtabschirmung dient.From the JP 2006-315686 A a press-through-pack packaging is known which serves for improved light shielding.

Aus der US 2007/0196601 A1 ist eine strukturierte Folie mit Vertiefungen, die zur Bevorratung von aktiven Substanzen dient, bekannt.From the US 2007/0196601 A1 is a structured film with recesses, which is used to store active substances.

Die US 2010/0294780 A1 betrifft eine Verpackung für elektronische Komponenten.The US 2010/0294780 A1 relates to packaging for electronic components.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Verpackung anzugeben, die ein einfaches Herstellen und Verpacken und ein beschädigungsloses Entnehmen eines stückförmigen Reinigungsmittels ermöglichen.The object of the present invention is to provide a packaging which enables simple manufacture and packaging and damage-free removal of a bar-shaped cleaning agent.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Verpackung, die einen Hohlraum zur Bevorratung des stückförmigen Reinigungsmittels umfasst, in dem Bereich des Hohlraums, in den die Reinigungsmittelformkörpermasse eingegossen wird, mit einer mikroskopisch aufgerauten oder strukturierten Oberfläche ausgerüstet. Die aufgeraute oder strukturierte Oberfläche bewirkt, dass die Wechselwirkungen zwischen der in dem Hohlraum befindlichen erstarrten Masse und der Innenseite des Hohlraums im Vergleich zu einer glatten Oberfläche an der Innenseite des Hohlraums vermindert sind, weil das stückförmige Reinigungsmittel quasi nur noch an den nach außen weisenden Enden der nach außen stehenden Strukturen der rauen Oberfläche zu liegen kommt. Das Mittel haftet somit nicht mehr so stark an der Innenseite des Hohlraums, wie es bei einer glatten Innenseite der Fall wäre.According to the invention, the packaging, which comprises a cavity for storing the piece-like detergent, is provided with a microscopically roughened or structured surface in the region of the cavity into which the detergent molding composition is poured. The roughened or textured surface causes the interactions between those solidified in the cavity Mass and the inside of the cavity are reduced compared to a smooth surface on the inside of the cavity, because the piece-like cleaning agent only comes to rest on the outward-facing ends of the outward-facing structures of the rough surface. The agent therefore no longer adheres to the inside of the cavity as strongly as would be the case with a smooth inside.

Ein leichtes Anheben des Formkörpers in der Verpackung führt zum Einströmen von Luft in die Grenzfläche Verpackung/Reinigungsmittelformkörper und löst dadurch den Reinigungsmittelformkörper von der Verpackung ab. In dem Maß, in dem der Reinigungsmittelformkörper angehoben wird, strömt Luft nach, was letztendlich zum vollständigen Ablösen des Reinigungsmittelformkörpers von der Unterlage führt.A slight lifting of the molded article in the packaging causes air to flow into the packaging / detergent tablet interface, thereby detaching the detergent tablet from the packaging. To the extent that the detergent tablet is raised, air flows in, which ultimately leads to the detachment of the detergent tablet from the base.

Nachdem durch die Aufrauung der Oberfläche das Problem des starken Anhaftens des eingegossenen Mittels gelöst ist, kann die flüssige Reinigungsmittelformkörpermasse bei der Herstellung direkt in den aufgerauten Hohlraum der Verpackung eingegossen und nach dem Erkalten ohne Beschädigung aus der Form entnommen werden.After the problem of the strong adherence of the poured-in agent has been solved by the roughening of the surface, the liquid detergent molding body composition can be poured directly into the roughened cavity of the packaging during manufacture and can be removed from the mold after cooling without damage.

Der im Stand der Technik erforderliche Schritt des Gießens in eine spezielle Gussform und Umverpacken in die Blisterverpackung kann somit entfallen, so dass die Herstellung vereinfacht und Herstellungskosten reduziert werden können.The step of casting into a special casting mold and repackaging into the blister packaging, which is required in the prior art, can thus be dispensed with, so that production can be simplified and production costs can be reduced.

Vorzugsweise weist die aufgeraute oder strukturierte Oberfläche eine Vielzahl von nach außen und nach innen gerichteten Strukturen, ähnlich einer Berg- und Tal- bzw. Hügellandschaft, auf. Die nach außen und innen stehenden Strukturen sind über die Oberfläche statistisch verteilt. Die Strukturen sind Strukturen im mikroskopischen Bereich, da sie letztendlich über die gesamte Anlagefläche eine im Wesentlichen gleichmäßige Verringerung der Wechselwirkung zwischen der Innenseite des Hohlraums und dem anliegenden Reinigungsmittel bewirken sollen.The roughened or structured surface preferably has a multiplicity of outward and inward structures, similar to a mountain and valley or hill landscape. The outward and inward structures are statistically distributed over the surface. The structures are structures in the microscopic range, since they are ultimately intended to bring about a substantially uniform reduction in the interaction between the inside of the cavity and the detergent applied over the entire contact surface.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der gemittelte Abstand a zwischen den nach außen weisenden Strukturen kleiner als 500 Mikrometer, vorzugsweise kleiner als 200 Mikrometer und besonders bevorzugt kleiner als 100 Mikrometer.In a preferred embodiment, the averaged distance a between the outward-pointing structures is less than 500 Microns, preferably less than 200 microns and particularly preferably less than 100 microns.

Durch die raue oder strukturierte Oberfläche liegt das Reinigungsmittel nur noch an den nach außen weisenden Enden der hervorstehenden Strukturen an, so dass die Kontaktfläche zwischen der Außenseite des Reinigungsmittels und den hervorstehenden Strukturen gegenüber der bislang bekannten glatten Innenseite des Hohlraums reduziert wird.Due to the rough or structured surface, the cleaning agent is only in contact with the outwardly facing ends of the protruding structures, so that the contact area between the outside of the cleaning agent and the protruding structures is reduced compared to the previously known smooth inside of the cavity.

Vorzugsweise beträgt die Kontaktfläche zwischen der aufgerauten Oberfläche und dem Reinigungsmittel weniger als 50 %, vorzugsweise weniger als 30 % und besonders bevorzugt weniger als 20 % der Kontaktfläche bei einem vollflächig an der glatten Innenseite des Hohlraums anliegenden Reinigungsmittel.The contact area between the roughened surface and the cleaning agent is preferably less than 50%, preferably less than 30% and particularly preferably less than 20% of the contact area in the case of a cleaning agent which is in full contact with the smooth inside of the cavity.

Die Verpackung weist in der Regel eine im Wesentlichen rechteckige Grundform auf und ist bis auf den Hohlraum zur Aufnahme des Reinigungsmittels mit dem Aufhänger (Hängevorrichtung), der aus der Ebene der Verpackung herausragt, im Wesentlichen eben. Darüber hinaus kann die Verpackung selbstverständlich auch eine unregelmäßige 3-D-Form aufweisen.The packaging generally has an essentially rectangular basic shape and is essentially flat except for the cavity for receiving the cleaning agent with the hanger (hanging device) which protrudes from the level of the packaging. In addition, the packaging can of course also have an irregular 3-D shape.

Wesentlich ist, dass die Verpackung keine Hinterschnitte aufweist, da das Mittel sonst nicht unbeschädigt entnommen werden kann.It is essential that the packaging has no undercuts, otherwise the product cannot be removed undamaged.

In einer bevorzugten Variante ragt ein Ende des Aufhängers in den Bereich des Hohlraums für die einzugießende Reinigungsmittelmasse hinein, die Masse wird dann in diesen Bereich des Hohlraums eingegossen und erstarrt dort, wobei das erstarrte Reinigungsmittel gleichzeitig das eine Ende des Aufhängers umschließt. Der Verbraucher kann das Reinigungsmittel somit an dem Aufhänger entnehmen und das Reinigungsmittel an dem Rand der Toilettenschüssel mit der Halteschlaufe des Aufhängers aufhängen.In a preferred variant, one end of the hanger protrudes into the area of the cavity for the detergent mass to be poured in, the mass is then poured into this area of the cavity and solidifies there, the solidified detergent simultaneously enclosing one end of the hanger. The consumer can thus remove the detergent on the hanger and hang the detergent on the edge of the toilet bowl with the strap of the hanger.

Um beim Eingießen den zum Erstarren des Mittels vorgesehenen Bereich des Hohlraums von dem Bereich des Hohlraums, in dem sich der Aufhänger befindet, abzudichten, weist der Aufhänger vorzugsweise eine Wand auf, die zusammen mit der Blisterverpackung eine Art Schale bildet, in die das Reinigungsmittel dann eingegossen werden kann, ohne dass Reinigungsmittelmasse in den Bereich der Halteschlaufe des Aufhängers fließt.In order to seal the area of the cavity intended for solidification of the agent from the area of the cavity in which the hanger is located, the hanger preferably has a wall which, together with the blister pack, forms a type of shell into which the cleaning agent then enters can be poured in without Detergent mass flows into the area of the hanging loop of the hanger.

Falls gewünscht, kann die Verpackung an ihrem unteren Ende noch einen sich rechtwinklig zur Verpackungsmittelebene verlaufenden Standfuß aufweisen, so dass die Verpackung auf diese Kante aufgestellt werden kann. Der Standfuß muss von dem Raum, in den das Reinigungsmittel gegossen wird, abgetrennt sein.If desired, the packaging can have a base at right angles to the packaging material level, so that the packaging can be placed on this edge. The base must be separated from the room in which the cleaning agent is poured.

Der Hohlraum für das Reinigungsmittel kann quaderförmig oder auch anders geformt sein, beispielsweise in Form von Figuren wie Schmetterlingen o.ä. ausgebildet sein. In Kombination mit dem sich ebenfalls in der Verpackung befindlichen Aufhänger und einer transparenten eingefärbten Reinigungsmittelmasse kann somit eine ansprechende geformte farbige Figur an einem Aufhänger bereitgestellt werden, die vom Verbraucher aus der Verpackung an dem Aufhänger entnommen werden kann, ohne dass die Reinigungsmittelmasse in der gewünschten Form beschädigt wird und dann in die Toilettenschüssel eingehängt werden.The cavity for the cleaning agent can be cuboid or other shapes, for example in the form of figures such as butterflies or the like. be trained. In combination with the hanger, which is also in the packaging, and a transparent, colored detergent mass, an appealing, shaped, colored figure can thus be provided on a hanger, which the consumer can remove from the packaging on the hanger without the detergent mass in the desired shape damaged and then hung in the toilet bowl.

Die Verpackung wird vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, insbesondere einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff wie z.B. PET, PP, PE hergestellt, ebenso kann sie aus Metall oder Glas bestehen.The packaging is preferably made of plastic, in particular a thermoplastic such as e.g. PET, PP, PE manufactured, it can also consist of metal or glass.

Die Verpackung wird vorzugsweise dadurch hergestellt, dass sie in einer entsprechenden Form zwischen einem oberen Formteil und einem unteren Formteil geformt wird. Im Bereich, in dem die raue oder strukturierte Oberfläche des Hohlraums hergestellt werden soll, weist die Werkzeugform eine sandgestrahlte, gelaserte oder mit rauen Materialien wie Sand oder Glaskugeln, Metall oder Kunststoff beschichtete Oberfläche auf.The packaging is preferably produced by molding it in a corresponding shape between an upper molded part and a lower molded part. In the area in which the rough or structured surface of the cavity is to be produced, the tool shape has a sandblasted, lasered or surface coated with rough materials such as sand or glass balls, metal or plastic.

Das stückförmige Reinigungsmittel wird in der Verpackung (Blisterverpackung) dadurch hergestellt, dass die flüssige Reinigungsmittelmasse in den für die Reinigungsmittelmasse vorgesehenen Hohlraum der Verpackung gegossen wird und dort erstarrt, wobei der Hohlraum an seiner in Richtung des Reinigungsmittels weisenden Innenseite eine mikroskopisch aufgeraute oder strukturierte Oberfläche aufweist. Die flüssige Reinigungsmittelmasse, die eine Schmelze ist und deren Viskosität bei 50 °C oberhalb von 200 mPas liegt, dringt nicht vollständig in die Poren der rauen Oberfläche ein, sondern erstarrt vielmehr im Wesentlichen an der durch die Enden der hervorstehenden Strukturen gebildeten Fläche. Dies ist vermutlich darauf zurück zu führen, dass die heiße Masse aufgrund ihrer Viskosität oder aufgrund einer Art Luftpolster, das sich zwischen der aufgerauten Oberfläche und der Schmelze während des Eingießens bildet, nicht in die Poren bzw. Täler oder nach innen gerichteten Strukturen der gerauten Oberfläche eindringt, sondern vielmehr auf den aufgerauten Strukturen "abperlt".The piece-like cleaning agent is produced in the packaging (blister packaging) by pouring the liquid cleaning agent mass into the cavity of the packaging intended for the cleaning agent mass and solidifying there, the cavity on its inside pointing in the direction of the cleaning agent microscopically roughened or structured surface. The liquid detergent mass, which is a melt and whose viscosity at 50 ° C is above 200 mPas, does not penetrate completely into the pores of the rough surface, but rather solidifies essentially on the surface formed by the ends of the protruding structures. This is probably due to the fact that the hot mass does not enter the pores or valleys or inward structures of the roughened surface due to its viscosity or due to a kind of air cushion that forms between the roughened surface and the melt during pouring penetrates, but rather "pearls off" on the roughened structures.

Im Allgemeinen liegen die Viskositäten solcher heißen Reinigungsmittelschmelzen mit einer Temperatur von wenigstens 50 °C, vorzugsweise wenigstens 60 °C, während des Eingießens über 500 mPas.In general, the viscosities of such hot detergent melts with a temperature of at least 50 ° C., preferably at least 60 ° C., are above 500 mPas during the pouring.

Falls gewünscht kann die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung zusätzlich noch mit weiteren, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Trennmitteln versehen werden (Abpudern, Wachsen etc.), sofern der Ablöseeffekt weiter verbessert werden soll oder die entformte Masse eine trockene Oberfläche aufweisen soll.If desired, the packaging according to the invention can additionally be provided with further release agents known from the prior art (powdering, waxing, etc.), provided that the detachment effect is to be improved further or the demolded composition is to have a dry surface.

Die Verpackung 11 in Figur 1 weist eine rechteckige ebene Grundfläche 18 auf und einen aus der Ebene 18 hervorragenden Hohlraum 12, der zur Aufnahme eines stückförmigen Toilettenreinigungsmittels 13 dient. In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Variante weisen Toilettenreinigungsmittel 13 und Hohlraum 12 Quaderform auf.The packaging 11 in Figure 1 has a rectangular, flat base area 18 and a cavity 12 protruding from the plane 18, which is used to hold a lump-shaped toilet cleaning agent 13. In the in Figure 1 shown variant have toilet detergent 13 and cavity 12 cuboid shape.

Die in Figur 1 nach oben weisende Seite der Verpackung 11 ist die Sichtseite 20 der Verpackung 11.In the Figure 1 upward-facing side of the packaging 11 is the visible side 20 of the packaging 11.

Auf der Rückseite 19 der Verpackung 11 ist die Oberfläche 14 im Bereich des Hohlraums 12 angeraut bzw. strukturiert, wie schematisch in der Schnittdarstellung des vergrößerten Bereichs B entlang der Linie A-A aus Figur 1 in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. An der Innenseite (= Rückseite) 19, die mit dem in Figur 2 gestrichelt dargestellten Reinigungsmittel 13 in Kontakt kommt, sind hervorstehende Strukturen 15 und zwischen den hervorstehenden Strukturen 15 befindliche Täler 21, die statistisch über die Innenseite des Hohlraums 12 verteilt sind. Die hervorstehenden Strukturen 15 und die Täler 21 bilden eine Art Hügellandschaft.On the back 19 of the packaging 11, the surface 14 is roughened or structured in the region of the cavity 12, as shown schematically in the sectional view of the enlarged region B along the line AA Figure 1 in Figure 2 is shown. On the inside (= back) 19, which with the in Figure 2 Cleaning agent 13 shown in dashed lines comes into contact are protruding structures 15 and valleys 21 located between the protruding structures 15, which are statistically distributed over the inside of the cavity 12. The protruding structures 15 and the valleys 21 form a kind of hilly landscape.

Die gemittelten Abstände a (vgl. Figur 3a ) zwischen zwei Hügeln 15 liegen in der Regel unter 200 Mikrometer, so dass die raue Innenseite 14 des Hohlraums 12 etwa einer mikroskopischen Hügellandschaft entspricht.The averaged distances a (cf. Figure 3a ) between two hills 15 are generally less than 200 micrometers, so that the rough inside 14 of the cavity 12 corresponds approximately to a microscopic hilly landscape.

Die hervorstehenden Strukturen 15 weisen an ihren Enden 16 jeweils eine kleine Fläche 17.2, 17.2, 17.3 etc. auf, die schematisch in Figur 3b für die Oberflächenstruktur 14 aus Figur 3a dargestellt ist.The protruding structures 15 each have a small area 17.2, 17.2, 17.3 etc. at their ends 16, which is shown schematically in FIG Figure 3b for the surface structure 14 Figure 3a is shown.

Die Summe der Flächen 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 etc. ergibt die Kontaktfläche 17, mit der die Verpackung mit dem in dem Hohlraum 12 befindlichen Reinigungsmittel 13 wechselwirken bzw. ankleben kann.The sum of the areas 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 etc. results in the contact area 17 with which the packaging can interact or stick with the cleaning agent 13 located in the cavity 12.

Dadurch, dass durch die aufgeraute Struktur 15 der nach innen weisenden Oberfläche 14 die Kontaktfläche 17 mit dem Reinigungsmittel 13 gegenüber einer herkömmlich ebenen Oberfläche vermindert ist und somit die Wechselwirkungen und das Ankleben verringert ist, kann das Mittel 13 aus der Verpackung 11 ohne Beeinträchtigung der Form oder Oberfläche entnommen werden. Die Kontaktfläche 17 beträgt vorzugsweise weniger als 40 % einer vollflächig anliegenden ebenen Oberfläche. Die Kontaktfläche einer vollständig ebenen Fläche 14 würde in Figur 3b letztendlich der ebenen Oberfläche des Mittels 13 entsprechen und 100 % betragen.Because the roughened structure 15 of the inward-facing surface 14 reduces the contact area 17 with the cleaning agent 13 compared to a conventionally flat surface and thus reduces the interactions and the sticking, the agent 13 can be removed from the packaging 11 without affecting the shape or surface can be removed. The contact surface 17 is preferably less than 40% of a flat surface lying against the entire surface. The contact area of a completely flat surface 14 would be in Figure 3b ultimately correspond to the flat surface of the means 13 and amount to 100%.

Eine andere Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung 11 ist in Figur 4 dargestellt. Die Verpackung 31 ist rechteckig und weist einen ebenen Bereich 18 auf. Aus der Ebene 18 tritt in Richtung der Sichtseite 20 ein Hohlraum 32 in Form eines Schmetterlings 33 mit einer Form 34 für einen Aufhänger 40 hervor. Im Bereich des Schmetterlings 33 ist der Hohlraum 32 an seiner Rückseite an der Oberfläche wie bereits zuvor beschrieben aufgeraut bzw. strukturiert, damit das in diesen Bereich 33 des Hohlraums 32 eingegossene Mittel 45 ohne Beschädigung entnommen werden kann.Another variant of the packaging 11 according to the invention is shown in Figure 4 shown. The packaging 31 is rectangular and has a flat area 18. A cavity 32 in the form of a butterfly 33 with a shape 34 for a hanger 40 emerges from the plane 18 in the direction of the visible side 20. In the area of the butterfly 33, the cavity 32 is roughened or structured on the back of the surface as already described, so that the agent 45 poured into this area 33 of the cavity 32 can be removed without damage.

Ein anderer Bereich 34 in dem Hohlraum 32 dient dazu, den weitaus größten Teil des Aufhängers 40 aufzunehmen, insbesondere den Teil des Aufhängers 40 mit der Halteschlaufe 42, die dazu dient, den Rand der Toilettenschüssel zu umgreifen. Das der Halteschlaufe 42 entgegengesetzte Ende 41 des Aufhängers 40 ragt in den Bereich 33 des Hohlraums 32 hinein. Gleichzeitig dichtet eine an dem Aufhänger 40 vorgesehene Wand 43 den Schmetterlingsbereich 33 von dem Bereich 34 für den restlichen Aufhänger 40 ab (vgl. Figur 6 ), so dass sich nach Eingießen der Reinigungsmittelmasse in den Bereich 33 des Hohlraums 32 das Reinigungsmittel 13 um das Ende 41 des Aufhängers 40 in Schmetterlingsform verfestigt und das an dem Aufhänger 40 befestigte Reinigungsmittel 45 dann aus der Form/Verpackung entnommen werden kann. Das Ende 41 des Aufhängers 40 ist in Figur 6 ein Haltestift, der gestrichelt dargestellt und unterhalb einer Widerlagerplatte liegt, wie in der DE 10 2011 055 412 beschrieben.Another area 34 in the cavity 32 serves to accommodate the vast majority of the hanger 40, in particular the part of the hanger 40 with the holding loop 42, which serves to grip around the edge of the toilet bowl. The end 41 of the hanger 40 opposite the holding loop 42 projects into the region 33 of the cavity 32. At the same time, a wall 43 provided on the hanger 40 seals the butterfly area 33 from the area 34 for the remaining hanger 40 (cf. Figure 6 ), so that after pouring the detergent mass into the area 33 of the cavity 32, the detergent 13 solidifies around the end 41 of the hanger 40 in a butterfly shape and the detergent 45 attached to the hanger 40 is then removed from the mold / packaging can. The end 41 of the hanger 40 is in Figure 6 a retaining pin, which is shown in dashed lines and lies below an abutment plate, as in the DE 10 2011 055 412 described.

Ein solches aus der Form 31 entnommenes schmetterlingsförmiges Reinigungsmittel 45 mit Aufhänger 40 ist in Figur 5 dargestellt.Such a butterfly-shaped cleaning agent 45 with a hanger 40 removed from the mold 31 is shown in FIG Figure 5 shown.

Am unteren Ende der Sichtseite 20 der Verpackung 31 (Figur 4) kann ein weiterer Hohlraum 38 mit einem sich etwa rechtwinklig der Ebene 18 erstreckender Standfuß 37 vorgesehen sein, der dazu dient, die Verpackung 31 in vertikaler Position aufzustellen. Der Standfuß 37 kann die Seitenwand eines weiteren Hohlraums 38 am unteren Ende der Sichtseite der Verpackung 31 sein.At the lower end of the visible side 20 of the packaging 31 ( Figure 4 ) A further cavity 38 can be provided with a base 37 which extends approximately at right angles to the plane 18 and which serves to set up the packaging 31 in a vertical position. The stand 37 can be the side wall of a further cavity 38 at the lower end of the visible side of the package 31.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung eignet sich als Gießform und Verpackung für Toilettenreinigungsmittel, die aus einer flüssigen Toilettenreinigungsmittelmasse durch Gießen in eine Form und Erkalten und Erstarren herstellbar sind. Insbesondere eignet sich die Erfindung zur Verpackung von aus Schmelzen hergestellten Reinigungsmitteln für Toiletten.The packaging according to the invention is suitable as a casting mold and packaging for toilet cleaning agents which can be produced from a liquid toilet cleaning agent composition by pouring into a mold and cooling and solidifying. In particular, the invention is suitable for packaging detergents made from melts for toilets.

Vorzugsweise umfassen die Reinigungsmittel, die als Massen in die Verpackung gegossen werden, Tenside, auch als Gelbildner, wie beispielweise Stearate oder Alkylethoxylate, Lösemittel sowie ggfs. Duftstoffe und weitere Bestandteile. Eine mögliche Beispielrezeptur ist nachfolgend wiedergegeben: Nichtionische Tenside < 50 Gew.% Anionische Tenside 2 - 10 Gew.% Abspülregulator 2 - 8 Gew.5 Gelbildner 2 - 6 Gw.% Co-Emulgator 1 - 3 Gew.% Lösemittel 20 - 24 Gew.% Farbstoff < 0,5 Gew.% Duftstoff 2 - 6 Gew.% The cleaning agents which are poured into the packaging in bulk preferably comprise surfactants, also as gel formers, such as, for example, stearates or alkyl ethoxylates, solvents and, if appropriate, fragrances and other constituents. A possible example recipe is given below: Nonionic surfactants <50% by weight Anionic surfactants 2 - 10% by weight Rinse regulator 2 - 8 wt. 5 Gelling agent 2 - 6% by weight Co-emulsifier 1 - 3% by weight Solvents 20-24% by weight dye <0.5% by weight Fragrance 2 - 6% by weight
