Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging system for a multi-component product preparation with a first container for holding a first product preparation component, with a second container for holding at least one second product preparation component and with a closure element which both seals the first container tightly from the environment and also has a coupling device. to couple the second container to the closure member and to provide fluid communication between the first container and the second container.
- packaging systems are usually used for the targeted mixing of fluids that are initially stored separately and are mainly used when using two- or multi-component product preparations in which the individual preparation components are not compatible with each other due to their chemical composition or only shortly before actual use are to be mixed.
- product preparations are known, inter alia, from the cosmetic, medical, food and detergent and cleaning agent sectors.
- the German utility model describes DE 29721872 U1 for example, an arrangement for coupling two containers with the aim of possible mixing of fluids initially stored separately in the containers.
- the coupling arrangement described there is used, among other things, for mixing individual components of hair dyes, the individual components being incompatible with one another and therefore having to be stored separately from one another in separate containers until they are actually used. The individual components are then mixed to form the ready-to-use hair dye immediately before use.
- the coupling arrangement has two coupling elements, each of which enables the connection of an associated container.
- the coupling elements each form a flow passage which is in fluid connection with the respective interior of the container.
- the two flow passages within the clutch assembly are aligned with one another.
- the clutch arrangement has a control element which is arranged in one of the flow passages so that it can be displaced between a first and second position.
- the flow passages can be open or closed.
- the flow passages are usually closed in the initial state of the clutch arrangement.
- an additional plug is provided, which closes a flow passage in the initial state of the clutch arrangement. During use, the stopper is removed under the action of the displaceable control element, so that the flow passages are released for flow.
- the coupling device has a valve arrangement which can be moved between a closed and an open position. In the open valve position, a flow passage is released in the coupling device, which forms a fluid connection between the two containers. Thus, when the valve is in the open position, mixing of the two contents of the container is permitted.
- EP 1 167 231 A1 WO 2007/145773 A2
- EP 0 520 207 A1 EP 0 520 207 A1
- JP 2006 232323 A known.
- the object of the invention is to specify an adapter-like device for coupling two containers to enable the mixing of fluids stored separately therein, which allows simple and safe operation with a simple overall design and in particular excludes operating errors as far as possible. Furthermore, a safe method for mixing a multi-component product preparation using such a packaging system is to be specified.
- a packaging system for a multi-component product preparation which has a first container for holding a first product preparation component, a second container for holding at least one second product preparation component and a closure element.
- the closure element seals the first container tightly from the environment and has a coupling device in order to couple the second container to the closure element and to create a fluid connection between the first container and the second container.
- the closure element comprises a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined breaking point in order to release the fluid connection between the first container and the second container.
- the closure cap is in a direction of rotation about an axis L des
- the closure element blocks and can be coupled to the second container and has a thread, by means of which the closure cap can be connected to the first container via a corresponding thread on the first container.
- the predetermined breaking point is designed, for example, as an area of the closure element with a particularly small wall thickness.
- the advantage of the packaging system is that it is particularly safe to handle and is therefore also suitable for storing and mixing hazardous chemicals.
- This is achieved in particular in that the first container is initially tightly closed by means of the closure cap. Only when the first container is connected to the second container via the coupling device of the closure cap can the closure cap be separated by breaking the predetermined breaking point. The fluid held in the first container is therefore only released when it can flow into the second container. Since the closure cap is initially tightly connected to the closure element, accidental release of fluid from the first container is largely ruled out.
- closure element is non-releasably connected to the first container, for example latched to the first container, with the exclusion of its destruction. It is then not possible to separate the closure element from the first container, for example by twisting it off, and thereby accidentally release fluid. The probability of operating errors is thus greatly reduced.
- the closure element and the second container have mutually corresponding threaded portions in order to couple the second container to the closure element by screwing. This represents an advantageous possibility of securely and tightly connecting the second container to the closure element and thus ultimately to the first container.
- the coupling device is designed as a collar with an internal thread, which can be slipped over an edge of an opening of the second container when the first container is being coupled to the second container, the internal thread interacting with an external thread of the second container in order to connect the coupling device with connect to the second container.
- This embodiment has the advantage, among other things, that a thread on the edge of the second container, which is also used for a closure element of the second container to be removed before mixing, can be used for the connection to the closure element.
- the second container can therefore be of particularly simple design.
- the closure cap for coupling to the second container can be positively connected to the second container by displacement parallel to the axis L of the closure element.
- the closure element has a particularly simple design.
- the closure element can be shaped in such a way that it can be inserted into the second container.
- the second container can have a short or longer neck, which tightly encloses the closure element.
- the blocking of the closure cap against rotation about the axis L can be achieved, for example, in that the closure cap has at least one projection which, during coupling to the second container, interacts with at least one corresponding depression on the second container in such a way that rotation of the closure cap is relatively to the second container is blocked.
- several such projections and depressions can also be provided, which are distributed over the circumference of the container or the closure cap.
- the sealing cap has in its edge region a multiplicity of locking teeth which engage in recesses on the second container which may form a locking collar.
- the closure cap is covered from the environment by means of a cover element in such a way that manual access to the closure cap from the outside is prevented.
- the cover element can be designed as a sleeve-shaped section of the closure element, which surrounds the closure cap radially and protrudes axially.
- Such a cover element has the advantage that the closure cap cannot be removed manually. This represents a special safeguard that is advantageous if an aggressive substance is kept in the second container.
- the sleeve-shaped section can correspond to the collar mentioned above and have a thread that corresponds to a thread on the second container.
- the closure element can be coupled to the second container in a liquid-tight manner.
- it has in particular at least one seal in order to ensure a liquid-tight connection to the first and/or second container.
- This embodiment has the advantage that the unintentional escape of liquid before, during or after the mixing of the fluids is prevented.
- a method for Mixture of a multi-component product preparation using a packaging system with a first container for holding a first product preparation component, with a second container for holding at least one second product preparation component and with a closure element which seals the first container tightly from the environment and has a coupling device to hold the second To couple the container to the closure element and to create a fluid connection between the first container and the second container, the closure element comprising a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined breaking point.
- the method includes attaching the first container to the second container by means of the closure element, in that both corresponding threaded sections on the closure element and on the second container are attached to one another for screwing and the closure cap is coupled to the second container in a blocked manner in a direction of rotation about an axis L of the closure element becomes.
- the method also includes screwing the closure element to the second container via the corresponding threaded sections and simultaneously separating the closure cap blocked in the direction of rotation from the closure element at the predetermined breaking point.
- the method further includes further screwing the closure member to the second container while simultaneously unscrewing the severed closure cap from an opposing thread of the first container so that the closure cap falls into the interior of the container, and mixing the two product components in the first and/or second container utilizing the open fluid connection between the two vessels.
- the procedure is particularly easy to carry out even without practice. In particular, it is largely impossible for a user of the packaging system to come into contact with components of the product preparation when carrying out the method.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to an alternative method for mixing a multi-component product preparation using a packaging system with a first container for holding a first product preparation component, with a second container for holding at least one second product preparation component and with a closure element which seals the first container tightly opposite the Closes the environment and has a coupling device in order to couple the second container to the closure element and to create a fluid connection between the first container and the second container, the closure element comprising a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined breaking point.
- the method comprises attaching the first container to the second container by means of the closure element by lockingly coupling the closure cap to the second container in a direction of rotation about an axis L of the closure element.
- the method includes the relative rotation of the closure element with respect to the second container about the axis L while separating the closure cap, which is blocked in the direction of rotation, from the closure element at the predetermined breaking point.
- the method further comprises detaching the separated closure cap from the first container by rotating the first container relative to the closure cap about the axis L and pushing the closure cap into an interior space of the second container and mixing the two product components in the first and/or second container Utilization of the open fluid connection between the two containers.

Also provided on the inside of the wall 14 above the inner locking ring 26 is a circumferential locking channel 22 which corresponds to the locking ring 23 of the first container 2 .
- the locking ring 23 cooperating with the locking channel 22 has the task of connecting the closure element 11 in a non-detachable manner to the first container 2 in order to prevent accidental opening of the first container 2, which may contain a dangerous substance.
- FIGS 10a and 11a show a side view and a sectional view of the packaging system 1 with the first container 2, which is connected to the second container 6 by means of the closure element 11, in a first position.
- the first container provided with the closure element 11 has been inserted into the neck 31 of the second container 6 and the ratchet 16 of the closure cap 17 has been brought into engagement with the ratchet 10 of the second container 6 .
- the closure cap 17 was secured against rotation on the second container 6 .
- the first container 6 is then pushed into the neck 31 of the second container 6 until the first container 2 touches the neck 31 of the second container 6 .
- the figures 10b and 11b show the packaging system 1 in a second position.
- the first container 2 provided with the closure element 11 was rotated relative to the second container 6 .
- the closure cap 17 secured against rotation on the second container 6 was separated from the rest of the closure element 11 at the predetermined breaking point 18 .
- the first container 2 is pulled up slightly to ensure that the ratchet 16 remains engaged with the ratchet 10 and then rotated counterclockwise.
- figure 12 shows this position in detail.
- the product preparation components can then be mixed using the fluid connection that has now been established between the containers 2, 6.
