Definitions
- the invention relates to a plastic container product, in particular manufactured by a blow molding, filling and sealing process, with a container body having a container content and an adjoining head part which delimits a removal area which is closed by a head membrane which has a connecting seam, which penetrates a plane spanned by the head membrane and separates penetrable areas on the free face of the head membrane for a removal process of the container contents.
- Plastic containers that are produced in a blow molding, filling and sealing process are used for food and luxury goods as well as in medicine with great advantage for the packaging of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, enteral nutrition and medical products, e.g. rinsing and dialysis solutions.
- An essential advantage of such containers for these purposes is that the contents only come into contact with a polymer forming the container material, typically a polymer Plastic like LDPE, HDPE or PP.
- a polymer Plastic like LDPE, HDPE or PP typically a polymer Plastic like LDPE, HDPE or PP.
- Containers that are intended for injection, infusion, transfusion or enteral nutrition have a special shape of the head area for the formation of accesses to the container contents.
- the one-piece design of the container and head enables safe sterility of the filling material with particularly efficient implementation of the manufacturing process.
- Caps with elastomer sealing elements (DIN ISO 15759) are attached to the container head by welding or overmolding.
- a plastic container is known with preferred, thin-walled piercing positions for a cannula arranged on a defined lateral shoulder area of the container.
- Sufficient thinning can only be achieved here with a very complex tool technology, taking into account indented areas that make easy cleaning very difficult.
- a complete emptying of the container is not possible via these thin spots, since they are not located at the highest or lowest part of the container.
- U.S. 4,574,965 ( Fig. 1 and 3 ) shows - as well CN 85103261 A ( Fig. 1, 2 and 3 ) - in addition, a disadvantageous course of the mold parting line in the head area ( Fig. 1 and 3 : seam 18); as a result, the puncture point is very close to the edge of the container head and there is a great danger that the cannula will also unintentionally puncture the neck area of the container even if the angle of penetration is slightly different.
- Another disadvantage is the low central rigidity of the container head, which is shown in DE 10 2013 012809 picked up becomes.
- the EP 0621027 A1 shows in Figure 4 a container with a dividing line (42; "parting line”; column 8, lines 26ff) which extends in a straight line across the container body in an end view.
- a parting line typically results in blow molding due to the use of two-part molds.
- the dividing line results from the separations of the shaping two-part tool.
- the associated sealing or connecting seam in the head area has a minimal length and follows the course of the dividing line in a straight line.
- sealing seams are generally made as short as possible - not only with blow-molded containers - in order to minimize the risk of weak points, defects or even leaks, which in the case of filled containers with sterile filling material for medical purposes has very serious consequences for the health of the patient may have.
- the DE 10 2013 012 809 A1 relates to a container product in which, instead of a uniform head membrane, which has a uniform curvature the Spanning the end of the head part of the container body, different head surfaces are formed which form different curvatures at the head part end, so that an increased resistance to bending and easier piercing, cutting or penetration is achieved for the possible total removal area of the head membrane. Evasion of the head membrane during the removal process and the risk of leaks are thereby kept to a minimum and handling is possible in a safe manner even when using less sharp spikes, blades or thick cannulas.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a container product which is further improved compared to the known solutions, in particular with regard to the handling and the removal behavior for the container contents.
- a pertinent object is achieved by a container product with the features of claim 1 in its entirety.
- the connecting seam seen on the free face of the head membrane has a seam course which at least partially deviates from a fictitious straight course, which extends within this plane, which is longer than the straight course and which is penetrable
- At least partially encompassing areas, very thin-walled, penetrable areas can be formed which are supported by the extended connecting or sealing seam lying in the plane of the head membrane in such a way that it does not come into contact with the respective penetrable area during the removal or addition process of the container contents unintentionally denting of the entire head membrane with deteriorated removal behavior, in particular with regard to sterility, can occur.
- the handling of the plastic container product according to the invention as a whole is made easier for an operator and, moreover, a safe addition and / or removal process of the container contents is guaranteed in every case.
- the support and stiffening function for the addition or removal process via the connecting seam according to the invention is also ensured by the fact that, leaving the straight alignment, it at least partially encompasses the penetrable areas and thus further stiffens the edges. Due to the supporting and securing connection seam of the head part, it is therefore possible to reduce the wall diameter of the penetrable areas on the free face of the head diaphragm compared to the other wall parts of the head diaphragm, which further facilitates the mentioned addition and / or removal process.
- connection seam which is considerably lengthened compared to an otherwise straight course, using the known blow molding, filling and sealing process (BFS) in a routine production-safe manner results in thin areas as penetrable areas of 0.10 mm to 0 , 25 mm can easily be created without leaks at the connection seam, which is technically also referred to as a head seal seam or head weld seam, and without tearing at the thin spots when internal pressure loads occur in the temperature range above 110 ° C; Temperature ranges, such as those that arise during the sterilization of the filled container product as part of the necessary autoclave process.
- BFS blow molding, filling and sealing process
- the seam course of the connecting seam is designed as a kind of sealed or welded seam, which is created during the production of the head part within the scope of the blow molding, filling and sealing process (BFS), which continues along the same on opposite sides of the head part and merges into the mold parting line that is created during its production with multi-part, molding tools as part of the BFS process.
- BFS blow molding, filling and sealing process
- the mentioned penetrable areas with a reduced wall thickness compared to the average wall thickness of the head diaphragm also arise in the head membrane in the context of the manufacturing process mentioned.
- the sealed or welded seam extends completely through the head membrane in a sealed manner.
- the seam course in the head membrane merges at two opposite points into the corresponding dividing lines / seam course in the rest of the head part, which form a fictitious connecting straight line between them, on which the centers of the penetrable areas of the head membrane lie and / or outside, and that, in one embodiment, the fictitious straight line delimits at least one penetrable area in the manner of a tangent or this area assumes a predeterminable distance from the fictitious straight line.
- the penetrable areas can be arranged in a supported manner on the head membrane of the container product for a large number of applications in an operationally safe manner.
- the connecting seam similar or directly to the course of a sinusoidal wave on the head membrane, the wave trough and / or wave crest of which each receive a penetrable area of the head membrane and thus at least partially support it.
- the container body is preferably firmly connected via its head part and / or via a collar between the head part and the container body to a cap part which has externally releasable or released piercing parts which are congruent with are to be arranged in the assignable penetrable areas of the head membrane. Since the mentioned penetrable areas in the head membrane can be arranged off-center and the cap part with its piercing parts has to cover the penetrable areas for a removal process, it is possible according to the invention and advantageously provided to apply the cap parts to the container rotated by a predeterminable offset angle .
- the Fig. 1 shows a prior art ( DE 102013 012 809 A1 ) Verifiable plastic container product, which is manufactured according to the so-called blow molding, filling and sealing process (BFS) with a container body 10 having a container content (not shown) of the usual type and an adjoining head part 12 which delimits a removal area 14, which is closed by a head membrane 16, which has a connecting seam 18 which extends through a plane 20 spanned by the head membrane and for a removal process of the container contents according to the detailed illustration according to FIG Fig. 2 two penetrable regions 22, 24 separated from one another on the free end face 26 of the head membrane 16, which are shown idealized in a circular shape with their centers M1, M2. Components of the head part 12 are also a neck part 28 and a collar part 30.
- BFS blow molding, filling and sealing process
- the container product shown is an infusion bottle manufactured in one piece according to the BFS process, consisting of a plastic material, especially a polyolefin material.
- the head part 12 formed in the example shown according to the state of the art according to DIN ISO 15759: 2006-05 can be connected to cap parts 31 according to ISO 15759-BFS-A or ISO 15759-BFS-B by welding or overmolding on the collar part 30, such as this is exemplified in the Figures 9 and 10 is shown.
- the continuously running and uniformly convexly curved head membrane 16 for removal and / or addition processes which for example by means of a cannula (DIN EN ISO 7864) or a piercing part 34 (EN ISO 8536), as exemplified in the Fig. 9 shown, can be pierced in the direction of the arrow.
- a cannula DIN EN ISO 7864
- a piercing part 34 EN ISO 8536
- This fictitious rectilinear course 32 produces the shortest connection between two points E1 and E2, at which the known connecting seam 18 continuously merges into the adjoining mold separating line 19 in the head part 12.
- the connecting seam 18, which extends in the shape of a bow or tendon between the point-like points E1 and E2 follows the curvature of the head membrane 16 and, designed as a type of reinforcing rib, protrudes preferably by a predeterminable overhang over the free end face 26 of the head membrane 16.
- the mold parting lines 19 merge into a mold parting line 21 of the container body 10, which in the BFS process is typically formed with the aid of a two-part mold.
- the two opposing penetrable areas 22, 24 are then located, which for the sake of simplicity are shown as closed circles with their centers M1 and M2.
- the areas 22, 24 can, however, also have other circumferential geometries due to the manufacturing process have, for example, be elliptical, sickle-shaped or the like more.
- These areas 22, 24 which can be penetrated or pierced have, as indicated in FIG Fig. 9 results, reduced wall thicknesses, which turn out to be less than the other wall thickness of the head membrane 16.
- the diameter of the head diaphragm 16 can typically be 30 mm.
- the connecting seam 18, which is technically also referred to as a head seal seam, thus extends from one point E1 of the head part 12 to the opposite point E2 of the same head part and, as a reinforcement device in the form of a protruding rib, offers at least partially a resistance to unintentional pressing in of the entire head part.
- bran 16 when attaching a removal device such as a cannula or a piercing part 34 for a subsequent removal or addition process relating to the container contents. Without such a rib-like reinforcing device, if the piercing tool 34 hits it, as shown in FIG Fig.
- the connecting seam 38 according to the invention seen or arranged on the free end face 26 of the head diaphragm 16, has a seam course 36 deviating from the fictitious straight course 32, which extends within the plane 20 or within the protruding head diaphragm 16 as a surface, longer than the straight course 32 and which at least partially comprises the penetrable regions 22, 24.
- the non-straight course 36 of the connecting seam 38 according to the invention gives an operator an indication of the position or location of the respective penetrable area 22, 24 on the head membrane 16, since the connecting seam 38 encompasses approximately half of the respective penetrable area 22, 24.
- the connecting seam 38 running within the plane 20 of the head diaphragm 16 has an alternating, preferably curved course that forms a sinusoidal wave 40, the wave trough 42 of which and the associated wave crest 44 each receive a penetrable area 22 and 24 of the head diaphragm 16 and such at least partially included in half.
- the seam course 36 in the head membrane 16 again merges here at two opposite points E1, E2 into the rest of the seam course in the head part 12, with the two opposite points E1 and E2 forming the fictitious connecting straight line 32 between them, which follows the fictitious straight seam course 32 the Fig. 2 corresponds.
- the centers M1, M2 of the penetrable areas 22, 24 of the head membrane 16 lie on this fictitious connecting straight line 32.
- the head diaphragm 16 has a circular outer circumference and the said fictitious connecting straight line 32 defines with a further fictitious connecting straight line 48 which is perpendicular to the straight line 32, a fictitious center point Z through which the shaft 40 as shown in FIG Fig. 4 the connecting seam 38 according to the invention goes at the point of transition from wave valley 42 to wave crest 44.
- this tangent T includes an angle ⁇ of approximately 50 ° with the fictitious connecting straight line 32.
- Other angular dimensions ⁇ in the range of approx. 40 ° ( Fig. 8 ) up to 75 ° ( Fig. 5 ) are possible here depending on the embodiment of the connecting seam 38.
- the transition from wave trough 42 to wave crest 44 runs outside the central fictitious center point Z through the other center point Z + 1, through which then according to the representation according to the Fig. 4 the tangent would have to be laid. In this respect, however, nothing changes to the angle specifications ⁇ .
- the beginning P1 of the wave trough 42 and the beginning or the end P2 of the wave crest 44 of a wave 40 of the connecting seam 38 each merges into a section 50, which in turn, viewed from above, on the face 26 of the head membrane 16, along the fictitious connecting line 32 runs, the respective section 50 opening out at the edge into the opposite points E1, E2 on the head part 12.
- sections 50 selected in a straight line these can also have an arcuate course in continuation of the sine wave 40 or in the opposite direction to this wave course.
- the length of the undulating connecting seam 38 is preferably selected to be at least 30% longer than the diameter of the circular head membrane 16.
- the penetrable or pierceable areas 22, 24 on the head membrane 16 are in the embodiment according to FIGS Figures 3 and 4 chosen essentially the same size.
- the two penetrable areas 22, 24 on the head membrane 16 have wall thicknesses that are less than the other average wall thickness of the other head membrane 16, and the average wall thickness of a penetrable area 22, 24 is preferably between 0.15 mm and 0, 35 mm.
- the wall thicknesses for each penetrable area 22, 24 can also be selected differently so that, for example, one penetrable area is particularly suitable for introducing a puncture cannula and another penetrable area enables good accessibility for introducing a syringe needle.
- the two surfaces of the penetrable regions 22, 24 can be selected to be of different sizes, as shown by way of example in FIG Fig. 7 for a head diaphragm 16 modified in this respect, wherein in one embodiment a head diaphragm 16 according to FIG Fig. 8 the sequence from wave valley 42 to wave crest 44 is swapped in such a way that in the direction of view of the Fig. 8 seen first on the left side of the wave crest 44 before the wave valley 42 comes.
- the connecting seam 38 on the respective head membrane 16 can protrude in the manner of a reinforcing rib at least partially outward to the surroundings and / or in the direction of the interior of the container body 10, with a protrusion outward for the known solution according to the Fig. 2 is shown there.
- the head diaphragm 16 shown in the figures is shown as a curved surface in the form of the plane 20, which protrudes convexly outwards towards the surroundings.
- the head diaphragm 16 is a plane, that is to say an uncurved, planar plane (not shown).
- the container wall of the container according to the invention can have a multilayer structure (not shown) made of at least two materials.
- FIG DE 103 17 712 A1 A pertinent molding device for moving molding tools for the purpose of generating pertinent head geometries in plastic containers with link control is exemplified in FIG DE 103 17 712 A1 shown.
- the wave shape shown in the figures for the connecting seam 38 has proven to be particularly advantageous in terms of manufacturing technology.
- other wave forms can also be selected, for example in the form of an S-shaped arc with a different curve shape.
- meander-shaped seam courses or zigzag-shaped seam courses can be implemented if necessary.
- the seam course of the connecting seam 38 is selected in this way is that the respective penetrable regions 22, 24 are at least partially encompassed in order to sufficiently stabilize them during the puncturing. Furthermore, an improved reinforcement of the otherwise flexible plastic head membrane 16 is achieved overall due to the elongated seam course 36. It is also possible to attach more than two penetrable areas to the head membrane 16 (not shown).
- the upper side of the penetrable area 22 is tangent to the fictitious connecting straight line 32 and the further penetrable area 24 has a predeterminable axial distance from this connecting straight line 32.
- the tangent T applied to the wave trough 42 and wave crest 44, which goes through the center point Z, is steeper than in the embodiment according to FIG Fig. 4 .
- the connecting straight line 32 lies as a further tangent in the viewing direction Fig. 6 viewed at the top of the penetrable area 22 or at the bottom of the further penetrable area 24, both of which are approximately the same size in terms of area.
- the diameter of the penetrable area 24 is selected to be smaller than the penetrable area 22. Furthermore, as already explained, the course of the shaft 40 is offset off-center from the center point Z through the further center point Z + 1.
- the two penetrable areas 22, 24, which are approximately the same size, of the connecting straight line 32 is tangent and, as already explained, is the course from wave valley 42 to wave crest 44 according to the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS Figures 3 to 7 applied reversed.
- the cap part 31 is placed on the head part 12 in a manner known per se.
- the cap part 31 is preferably made of a rigid plastic material, which by and large has the shape of a circular cup with a bottom 52 and has detachable tabs 54, 56, of which as shown in FIG Fig. 9 the right flap 56 is removed for a removal process by means of the piercing tool 34.
- the cap part 31 is firmly attached at its lower edge to a flange part 58 which extends on the head part 12 between the collar part 30 and the neck part 28.
- the container body 10 is not shown, which is otherwise as shown in FIG Fig. 10 can also have a different shape than the container body 10 according to Fig.
- the cap part 31 there are two piercing parts 60, 62 which cover the respective penetrable areas 22, 24 in an assigned manner (see FIG. Fig. 9 ).
- the piercing parts 60, 62 each form a type of sealing part and are preferably formed from an elastomeric material that has a low rigidity and low hardness.
- Thermoplastic elastomers are preferably used for the piercing parts 60, 62, which can be connected to the cap part 31 in a simple manner in a materially bonded manner, for example by welding.
- cap alignment of the cap part 31 for a BFS bottle with its two accesses 60, 62 parallel to the axis 32 of the container 10; but also with other cap orientations, preferably between 0 ° to 50 °, to the longer transverse axis or connecting straight line 32 of the container bottle 10 according to the illustration according to FIG Fig. 10 .
