Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container assembly configured to maintain a predetermined humidity for storing a product in the container.
  • the present invention is based on the object of specifying a container arrangement in which products such as pharmaceuticals and herbs can also be stored for longer periods Can be stored for a long time while largely retaining their original properties.
  • the container arrangement comprises a container with a container opening, a stopper or a closure cap with a preferably central, through-hole for attachment to the container opening, and a hollow bellows which has a peripheral wall, a top wall with a likewise preferably central hole and a lower perforated bottom wall, the bellows being fitted with the plug or cap so that the two holes are aligned.
  • the invention further provides that a substance is arranged in the bellows which, as a result of contact with the ambient air entering through the holes, releases water which passes through the perforated bottom wall to the stored product.
  • the amount of substance in the bellows, its ability to cleave water through a chemical process through contact with the ambient air flowing in through the holes, and the perforation of the bottom wall are tailored to maintain the moisture required for the particular product.
  • the period of storage at largely constant relative humidity depends on the chemical decomposition process of the substance put into the bellows.
  • the respective product can therefore be stored with a constant, predetermined humidity. Because of the interior of the container because of the central holes in the stopper/cap and in the bellows and because of those with small holes provided bottom wall of the bellows is in connection with the external environment of the container, pressure differences in the container can also be compensated, which can be caused, for example, by temperature fluctuations or organic processes of the product to be stored. The fact that the stored product is ventilated to a certain extent also prevents the formation of unpleasant odors and the possible formation of mold, which can occur in containers that are hermetically sealed from the outside.
  • the ambient air which enters the container through the holes in the stopper/closure cap and in the bellows serves not only to trigger a chemical decomposition process of the substance introduced into the bellows with the separation of water, but the ambient air can also pass through a suitable perforation of the bottom wall of the bellows can also flow to the product placed at the bottom of the container and in this way prevent, for example, the generation of a "musty" odor from the product.
  • the stopper can have a cavity at the bottom, in which the bellows is inserted in its entirety or with its upper part.
  • the bellows can also be attached to the underside of a closure cap, for example with holding arms.
  • the two holes preferably central ones, can advantageously be connected to each other by a pipe socket, which can be fixed to the wall of the bellows or to the underside of the plug and which engages in the opposite hole.
  • the bellows expediently consists of an upper and a lower part which are plugged into one another or screwed together. In this way, the intended substance can be filled into the bellows in a simple manner.
  • the container, the stopper and the bellows are made of plastic and that these components have a circular basic shape.
  • the substance consists of a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, the ratio of which can be variably adjusted to the respective case.
  • both chemicals react with moisture (H 2 O) to form sodium citrate, water and carbon dioxide.
  • the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape through the stopper opening and the moisture or water is released into the bottom of the container.
  • the sodium citrate remains in the bellows as a solid.
  • the substance filled in the bellows consists of hydrogen peroxide, the concentration of which is variable.
  • the hydrogen peroxide breaks down in air to form oxygen and water.
  • the oxygen escapes to the atmosphere through the vents and the water remains in the bellows, releasing moisture into the lower part of the container.
  • the bellows can be filled with lithium hydroxide, which reacts with carbon dioxide to form lithium carbonate and water.
  • the water is discharged through the perforated bottom while the lithium carbonate remains in the bellows as a solid.
  • hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol or sodium aliganate
  • hydrogel can release water over time and crystallizes at the hole opening facing the air and forms a gas and air barrier. This keeps the moisture in the container.
  • the variants 1 to 3 mentioned above can be placed in the bladder as a pure powder/liquid, or packed in polyvinyl alcohol or in a hydrogel or in sodium aliganate. As a result, the moisture-releasing function can be maintained for longer.
