Definitions
- the invention relates to a container having a bottom, side walls and an opening surrounded by a peripheral edge, the container having a closure device for the opening with a frame and a lid.
- active substances for example from the group of laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, agricultural auxiliaries, building materials, dyes, adhesives or food, in a flowable or pourable form, which are stored as pre-dosed units in a container.
- plastic containers which may be transparent or semi-transparent, inter alia, known.
- Such containers typically include a closure device having a frame and a lid, the frame being connected to the peripheral edge of the container. Through the lid of the closure device, the container can be opened or closed.
- closure device should be childproof.
- a closure device with lid and frame wherein the lid is held in a closed position by two arranged on a same edge of the closure device locking means.
- the locking means each have a latching tab and a latching hook, wherein the latching hook in the closed position of the lid engages behind an undercut of the latching tab to prevent opening of the lid.
- the locking between the latching hook and locking tab can be solved by an externally accessible actuating element, wherein the actuating element is coupled to the latching hook and the latching tab.
- Locking means for opening the lid must be unlocked at the same time, which is difficult for a child to realize.
- the problem with such containers that the connection between the frame of the closure device and the container is often too easy to solve.
- the container can then be opened by removing the entire closure device and the parental control thus be bypassed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a container that provides good protection against accidental opening of the lid, childproof and can be easily opened at the same time when used as intended.
- a container having a bottom, side walls and an opening surrounded by a peripheral edge, the container having a
- Closing device for the opening having a frame and a lid, wherein the frame is connected by means of a latching connection with the peripheral edge of the container, wherein a holding force of the frame at the peripheral edge FH amounts.
- the stiffness of the sidewalls is understood here and below to mean the resistance which the sidewalls oppose to a deformation by a force acting on them, in particular a force component acting perpendicular to the surface normal.
- the container has the advantage that it is impossible or very difficult to release the frame of the closure device from the container by pressure on the side walls. If a force is exerted on the side walls of the container, they buckle and are deformed - at least when the force exceeds a threshold, but is chosen so low that even a force applied by a child can cause a deformation. As a result, it is not possible by pressure on the side walls to transfer sufficient force to the peripheral edge of the container in order to overcome the holding force of the frame at the peripheral edge. In other words, pressure on the side walls does not result in a displacement of the outer edge which would be sufficient to release the holding force of the frame at the peripheral edge.
- At least the bottom and the side walls of the container are formed from deep-drawn plastic. This has the advantage over an injection-molded container that smaller wall thicknesses of the container and thus lower stiffness of the
- the side walls of the container may be reinforced by a cardboard band.
- a cardboard band has the advantage that it does not appreciably increase the stiffness of the side walls, but protects the container from damage and at the same time can stiffen the side walls in the vertical direction.
- the banderole offers a way to label the container.
- Such a band can be glued at least in places on the side walls.
- the wall thickness of the side walls is according to one embodiment at least 0.1 mm and at most 0.8 mm. As has been found, wall thicknesses below 0.8 mm, in particular below 0.5 mm, are sufficient for producing a stable container, but also sufficiently well deformable.
- the circumferential edge of the container may in particular have a U-shaped cross-section and the wall thickness may be at least 0.5 mm and at the most 1, 8 mm in the region of the peripheral edge.
- the U-shaped cross section of the peripheral edge has the advantage that the frame can be fixed by means of latching hooks on the peripheral edge.
- a wall thickness between 0.5 mm and 1, 8 mm in the region of the peripheral edge gives the edge sufficient stability and protects it from bending, which could result in a loosening of the locking connection between the frame and the edge.
- the side walls are at least partially reinforced by ribs.
- ribs typically contribute to increased stiffness of the sidewalls.
- an increase in rigidity is at least in some areas of
- the closure device has at least first
- Locking means which hold the lid in a closed position on the frame.
- the locking means may be configured in particular as a child safety device.
- the frame and the lid can be made in one piece in particular.
- Manufacturing processes are thermoforming or injection molding.
- the frame and the lid may be connected to each other by at least one film hinge.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a plan view of an open closure device according to
- Figure 3 shows a cross section through the edge region of the container according to Figure 1 with
- Figure 4 shows a cross section through the edge region of an alternative container with
- the container 1 shows a perspective view of a container 1 with a bottom 2, side walls 3 and an opening 4, which is surrounded by a peripheral edge 5.
- the bottom 2 and the side walls 3 and the peripheral edge 5 are formed of plastic and manufactured in a deep-drawing process.
- the container 1 serves to receive and provide predosed units of an active substance.
- the side walls 3 are surrounded by a band 6 made of cardboard.
- the band 6 encloses the side walls 3 and is at least selectively glued to the side walls 3 and thus secured against slipping.
- the band 6 has the task to reinforce the side walls 3 against a load from above (top load).
- FIG. 2 shows a closure device 10 for the container 1 in the unfolded state in a plan view.
- the closure device 10 is divided into a frame 1 1 and a lid 12.
- the frame 1 1 and the lid 12 are integrally formed of a plastic and connected to each other by a number of film hinges 17.
- By means of the film hinges 17 10 are frame 1 1 and cover 12 against each other about the pivot axis 19 pivotally.
- the closure device 10 can be produced, for example, in an injection molding process.
- the frame 1 1 has a U-shaped profile with an outer web 13 and an inner web 14.
- the frame 1 1 encloses an opening 15 which is aligned in the assembled state of the closure device 10 with the opening 4 of the container 1.
- the frame 1 1 has a number of latching hooks 16 which are arranged on the outer web 13 of the frame 1 1 and which serve to connect the frame 1 1 with the peripheral edge 5 of the container 1.
- 12 snap hooks along the circumference of the frame 1 1 are arranged.
- the lid 12 is used to close the opening 15 of the frame 1 1 and thus in the assembled state of the closure device 10 also for closing the opening 4 of the container 1.
- the lid 12 from the open positions shown in Figure 2 by pivoting about the pivot axis 19th be folded into a closed position in which the lid 12 rests on the frame 1 1.
- first locking means 18 on the frame 1 1 and the cover 12 are provided. These can be configured in a known manner such that the with the closure device 10th
- closed container 1 can be opened only in a predetermined manner.
- the first locking means 18 are designed child-resistant.
- FIG 3 shows an Ouerrough through the edge region of the container 1 according to Figure 1 with attached closure device 10 according to Figure 2. It can be seen that the frame 1 1 surrounds the peripheral edge 5 of the container 1.
- the peripheral edge 5 of the container 1 has a U-shaped Ouerten with a first leg 22, a second leg 23 and a connection 24 between the two legs 22, 23.
- the side wall 3 has basically a small wall thickness between 0, 1 mm and 0.8 mm. In the area of the peripheral edge 5, however, it has a higher
- connection 24 and the second leg 23 has a bevel 20 on which can slide down the mounting frame 1 1 on the container 1 latching hooks 16 of the frame 1 1.
- the frame 1 1 is mounted for mounting on the peripheral edge 5 from above on this.
- the latching hook 16 slides on the slope 20 down until it has reached the open end of the leg 23 and locked with its raised end 25 behind this.
- This condition is shown in FIG.
- the frame 1 1 is connected to the peripheral edge 5 by the latching connection, which form the latching hooks 16 with the leg 23.
- the latching hooks 16 form in the assembled state of the frame 1 1 a contact surface 21 with the leg 23.
- the child safety of the container 1 is not only important that the locking of the lid 12 on the frame using the first locking means 18 is childproof. In addition, it is also important that not the entire closure device 10 can be easily removed from the container 1.
- a force Fi By exerting pressure on the side walls 3, it can namely in conventional Packaging may be possible to exercise so much force on the latching hooks 16 on the contact surface 21 via the leg 23 that they yield and open the latching connection.
- the force Fi acts on the distance h, which serves as a lever arm, on the latching connection.
- the side wall 3 is formed slightly deformable. Their rigidity is thus relatively low. This has the consequence that the container 1 is deformed upon the action of the force Fi on the side wall 3. Thus finds no transmission of the force on the
- the distance h can no longer serve as a lever arm and transmitter of the force.
- the low rigidity of the side walls 3 can be achieved in particular by a small wall thickness of the side walls 3. In addition, it is also achieved by a suitable aterial inches.
- the forces acting are shown only schematically in FIG.
- the release force FL and the holding force FH counteracting it are shown for the case of a force Fi acting perpendicular to the contact surface 21.
- the wall thickness and the geometry of the latching hook 16 and the leg 23, the latching connection can also be solved by forces acting in other ways.
- the absolute value of the holding force FH of the frame 1 1 on the peripheral edge 5 is also dependent on the exact geometry of the latching connection, for example, the size of the contact surface 21st
- FIG. 4 schematically shows a further embodiment of the frame 1 1, which differs from that shown in FIG. 3 only in that the latching hooks 16 do not surround the leg 23 because they do not have a raised end 25. Instead, the latching hook 16 has a greater length, so that the distance a, on which it engages in the mounted state, the leg 23, is sufficiently large to prevent easy removal of the frame from the container 1.
- the container 1 has a low rigidity.
- the leg 23 is only slightly displaced upon the action of a force Fi on the side wall 3.
- the shortening of the distance a causes a reduction of the holding force FH of the latching connection.
