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 the first container and the
- Such packaging systems are generally used for the targeted mixing of initially separately stored fluids and are primarily used when using two- or multi-component product preparations in which the individual preparation components are incompatible due to their chemical composition or only shortly before the actual use should be mixed.
- product preparations are known, inter alia, from the cosmetic, medical, food and detergent and cleaning agent sectors.
- the German utility model DE 29721872 U1 describes 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 serves, among other things, to mix 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 mixing of the individual components to form the ready-to-use hair dye takes place immediately before use.
- the coupling arrangement has two coupling elements, each of which enables an associated container to be connected.
- the coupling elements each form a flow passage which is in fluid connection with the respective interior of the container.
- the two flow passages are aligned with one another within the coupling arrangement.
- the clutch arrangement has a control element which is arranged displaceably between a first and a second position in one of the flow passages.
- the flow passages can be open or closed. In this respect, depending on the position of the
- Control element a flow through the flow passages and thus the entire
- Coupling arrangement enables or prevents.
- 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 coupling arrangement.
- 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. This allows the two container contents to be mixed when the valve is in the open position.
- the object of the invention is to provide an adapter-like device for coupling two containers to enable the fluids stored separately therein to be mixed, which allows simple and safe operation with a simple overall construction and in particular prevents incorrect operation as far as possible. Furthermore, a safe method for mixing a multi-component product preparation using such a packaging system is to be specified.
- fluids in the sense of the invention is understood to mean all flowable and pourable substances; H. not just liquid or correspondingly viscous
- a packaging system for a multi-component product preparation which has a first container for holding a first
- Has product preparation component a second container for holding at least one second product preparation component and a closure element.
- the closure element closes the first container tightly against the environment and has a
- 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 cap is in a direction of rotation about an axis L of the The closure element is blocked and can be coupled to the second container so as to be slidable in a direction parallel to the axis L.
- the packaging system has the advantage that it can be handled particularly safely and is therefore also suitable for holding 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 sealing cap is initially tight with the closure cap.
- Closing element is connected, an accidental release of fluid from the first container is largely excluded.
- the predetermined breaking point is designed, for example, as an area of the closure element with a particularly small wall thickness.
- closure element is inextricably connected to the first container, excluding its destruction, for example is locked to the first container. It is then not possible to separate the closure element from the first container, for example by twisting it off, and in doing so accidentally release fluid. This greatly reduces the likelihood of operating errors.
- the closure element and the second container have mutually corresponding threaded sections 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 coupled to the second container, the internal thread having a
- External thread of the second container cooperates to connect the coupling device 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 prior to mixing, can be used for the connection to the closure element.
- the second container can therefore be designed in a particularly simple manner.
- the closure element and the second container have mutually corresponding coupling elements which allow a relative rotation of the closure element and the second container in a value range of less than 180 °.
- the rotatability is used to separate the closure cap from the closure element at the predetermined breaking point. Since the closure cap can be fixed on the second container blocked in a direction of rotation about an axis L of the closure element, rotating the closure element with respect to the second container can lead to the closure cap being separated. A rotation of a few degrees may be sufficient for this. In order to ensure easy handling, a relative rotation of, for example, 10 ° to less than 180 °, in particular 30 ° to 90 °, can be advantageous.
- closure cap has at least one projection, which during the coupling with the second container with at least one
- the closure cap has a plurality of in its edge region
- Ratchet teeth that engage in recesses on the second container.
- the closure cap is covered from the surroundings 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 radially surrounds the closure cap and projects axially beyond it.
- Such a cover element has the advantage that the closure cap cannot be removed manually. This represents a special safeguard which is advantageous when an aggressive substance is kept in the second container.
- the sleeve-shaped section can the correspond to the collar mentioned above and have a thread which corresponds to a thread on the second container.
- an edge region of the sleeve-shaped section is as
- Tamper evident ring that breaks into several sections when the
- Closure element is placed on the second container in such a way that the closure cap is separated from the closure element along its predetermined breaking point.
- Embodiment makes use of the fact that the closure cap and the second container approach each other during the separation of the closure cap. This approach causes the tamper evident ring to break. From the state of the tamper-evident ring it can thus be seen whether the closure cap has possibly already been completely or partially severed and the first container is therefore no longer securely closed.
- 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 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 against the Environment closes and has a coupling device to couple the second container to the closure element and to create a fluid connection between the first container and the second container, wherein the closure element comprises a closure cap along a
- the predetermined breaking point can be separated from the closure element.
- the method comprises 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, as well as the
- Closure cap is coupled to the second container blocked in a direction of rotation about an axis L of the closure element.
- the method further comprises screwing the closure element onto the second container via the corresponding threaded sections and separating the closure cap blocked in the direction of rotation from the closure element at the predetermined breaking point
- the method further comprises screwing the closure element to the second container while simultaneously moving the severed closure cap into the interior of the container and mixing the two product components in the first and / or second container using the open fluid connection between the two containers.
- the procedure is particularly easy to carry out even without practice. In particular, it is largely excluded that a user of the packaging system comes into contact with components of the product preparation when carrying out the method.
- a further 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 tightly seals the first container Environment closes and has a coupling device to couple the second container to the closure element and to create a fluid connection between the first container and the second container, wherein the closure element comprises a closure cap along a
- the predetermined breaking point can be separated from the closure element, the method comprising attaching the first container to the second container by means of the closure element by adding corresponding coupling elements on the closure element and on the second container, which allow a relative rotation of the closure element and second container in a value range of less than 180 ° allow to be engaged as well as the locking cap in one
- the direction of rotation about an axis L of the closure element is coupled to the second container in a blocked manner.
- the method includes the relative rotation of the closure element with respect to the second container via the corresponding coupling elements about the axis L while separating the closure cap blocked in the direction of rotation from the closure element at the predetermined breaking point.
- the method further comprises an axial relative movement between the closure element and the second container in order to press the separated closure cap into an interior of the second container and the mixing of the two product components in the first and / or second container using the open fluid connection between the

- FIG. 4 shows different views of the closure system 1 with the first container 2, the second container 6 and the closure element 11 which connects the first container to the second container 6.
- the closure element 11 is connected to the first container 2 via the threads 5, 15 and via the latching connection made up of latching groove 22 and latching ring 23. Due to the design of the latching connection, which is shown in detail in FIG. 5, this can be done once
- Closure element 11 can only be removed again from the first container 2 by force and possibly with destruction of the closure element 11.
- the closure element 11 closes the first container 2 tightly against the environment.
- the first container 2 closed with the closure element 1 1 can therefore also be used for longer storage of a first
- Closing element 11 securely handle non-releasably closed first containers 2 and is therefore also suitable for holding dangerous substances.
- a closure (not shown in the figures) is removed from the second container 6, in particular it is originally connected to the second container 6 via the thread 9 and is unscrewed therefrom before preparation.
- the first container 2 closed with the closure element 11 is then placed upside down on the second container 6 and the closure element 11 is connected to the second container 6.
- Thread 9 of the second container 6 cooperates.
- the closure element 11 connected to the first container 2 is thus screwed onto the second container 6.

- FIG. 13b shows a view of the closure element 11 from a perspective directed into the first opening 12.
- a thread 15 designed as an internal thread is arranged in the interior of the closure element 1 1, as well as a circumferential locking groove 22 corresponding thread formed.
- the locking groove 22 is provided for receiving the locking ring 23 of the first container 2.
- FIGS. 3c and 3e a view of the closure element 1 1 is shown looking into the second opening 13.
- the closure element 11 comprises a closure cap 17 which closes a flow path from the first opening 12 to the second opening 13.
- the projections 28 on the closure cap 17 are arranged rotated by a few degrees with respect to the projections 28 on the wall 14.
- Each projection 28 is exactly opposite an identical projection 28, so that both on the closure cap 17 and on the wall 14 there are two opposite one another
- Projections 28 are arranged.

- the first container 2 and the second container 6 are rotated with respect to one another in such a way that the projections 28 on the closure cap 17 protrude into the recesses 27 on the neck 31 of the second container 6.
- the recesses 27 have a type of L-shape which allows the projections 28 on the closure cap 17 to penetrate into the second container 6 as far as the lower end of the neck 31.
- the projections 28 on the closure cap 17 come to lie in the lower region of the recesses 27, denoted by 33 in FIG. Since this lower region 33 has approximately the same dimensions as the projections 28 on the
- Closing cap 17 the closing cap 17 is secured against rotation on the second container 6 in this second position. Since an upper area 34 of the recesses 27 has a larger angular extent, the remaining closure element 11 is in an angular area rotatable with respect to the second container 6, which results from the angular extension of the upper region 34 relative to the dimensions of the projections 28 on the wall 14.
- Figure 17 shows the closure element 11 in several views in an undamaged state, it being possible to see that the projections 28 on the closure cap 17 compared to the
