Description

CLOSURE HAVING AN ODOROUS SUBSTANCE}

The present invention relates to a closing means operable to open a container, the closing means comprising at least one actuating portion and one closure operatively connected to the actuating portion which enable the user to carry out the opening process of the closing means. And the closure closes the container, the container opens at the closure during the opening process, and the fragrance that produces the desired aroma is associated with the closure and releases the fragrance in response to the execution of the opening process to open the container. Activation is carried out, the closing means comprises a perfume reservoir containing fragrance, the perfume reservoir containing fragrance, the fragrance reservoir comprising a reservoir wall which can be destroyed and opened during the opening process. The invention further relates to a container having said closure means and a method for opening said container.

Products are generally packaged in protective packaging, particularly in the food sector, invisible or undetectable by other human sensory functions. Thus, the purpose of modern packaging is to convey to the consumer the benefits of the packaged product when he buys the product or at least before he consumes the product. It is also advantageous to use the packaging to assure the consumer of the purchase. In this regard, packaging constitutes a marketing tool that ideally addresses one or more human sensory functions that cannot be directly handled by the packaged product.

One type of closure means has been disclosed in EP 1 056 660 B1, for example in the form of a container closure made of a plastic material impregnated with a fragrance, ie a substance affecting both taste and smell. For this purpose, it has been proposed that the fragrance substance or fragrance has a flavor of fruit, sweet or beverage. Injecting the fragrance into the closure means results in air surrounding the outside of the closure means to soak into the "fragrance", thus producing the desired effect.

The drawback of the closure means is that the fragrance is continuously released to the surroundings, such as in the supermarket, by the presence of a plurality of containers with the closure means, which may comprise most different fragrances, so that there is a risk of "overspray of perfume". will be. The usual closure means is equipped with a special cover, such as an additional lid for the closure means, which at least reduces the release of the fragrance around if necessary. In this case, however, additional parts are needed in addition to the closure means, reducing the design options for the closure means.

A closure means of this kind is disclosed, for example, in the first publication DE 100 64 572 A1 which relates to a can lid having a tongue to form a grout opening along the perimeter in the lid mirror of the can. Was released from On the side of the lid mirror facing the inside of the can, the lid mirror includes a separate space defined by a wall for receiving the fragrance, and during the opening process, a portion of the tongue moving inwardly forces against the wall. The space is provided with an opening through which the fragrance can escape during the opening process. While the design prevents the above-mentioned "fragrance overspray", there is a drawback that the fragrance may contact the food stored in the container during the opening process, which is often undesirable.

The present invention is thus based on the object of at least partially eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages of conventional closure means which can be operated to open the container and which the fragrance binds. With respect to the parts of the device, it has already been achieved in a very simple way by closing means that can be operated to open a container comprising the features of claim 1. The closing means according to the invention is characterized by a fragrance applied to the actuating part.

The present invention is based on the intention of providing a closing means, in which the fragrance is applied to the actuating part, so that the provision of the fragrance in the area of the closure can generally be prevented, finally preventing contamination of the food with the fragrance. do. Preferably, in the region of the closure, ie in some of the closing means in which the container is closed and the container is opened during the opening process, no perfume is provided. Instead, the fragrance is preferably used alone in the actuating section. However, it should be appreciated that in this respect the embodiment may also include one or more areas that include an area that is gripped by the user in operation but not gripped as a standard in operation.

It is to be understood that the term "fragrance" may be understood as a carrier which can carry the actual fragrance substance or fragrance substance reagent and can also carry further additives. However, it is also possible to react with different fragrance reagents in the form of fragrance substances, for example in the form of actual fragrance substances which release the fragrance or fragrance reagent alone. Like fragrances, fragrance-releasing agents or fragrance reagents or additives or carrier materials of fragrances are well known to those skilled in the art and need not be described further below.

According to the present invention, means for releasing fragrance in a time-controlled manner are designed to activate fragrance release in response to the implementation of an opening process for opening the container. This can be achieved by means of design measures in which the closing means must be actuated virtually, ie the container must be opened, in which the fragrance is released. According to the invention, this is achieved by connecting the actuation, closure or other part of the container to the fragrance release means, which fragrance release means are only handled or activated at the time of carrying out the opening process in order to release the fragrance. A mechanical actuation connection can be provided, for example, between the opening for the vessel and the means for releasing the fragrance, to ensure that the means for releasing the fragrance are activated into or during the opening process of the vessel so that the fragrance is released to the environment.

According to the invention, the means for releasing fragrance comprise at least one fragrance reservoir, the at least one fragrance reservoir containing fragrance and the reservoir comprising a reservoir wall which can be destroyed and opened in carrying out the opening process. . Advantageously, the reservoir has a scent-tight reservoir wall such that the fragrance material is not released into the surrounding air of the vessel equipped with the closure means herein before the reservoir wall is destroyed and opened.

According to an embodiment, the reservoir wall may in particular be a coating such as paper, foil or varnish on part of the closure, part of the actuating part, part of the different container part and / or the fragrance itself. In the latter embodiment, the fragrance may emanate into ambient air when the encapsulated and encapsulated wall is broken open. It may be particularly advantageous if part of the reservoir wall is formed by a scent-tight coating of fragrance. The coated or encapsulated perfume can constitute the outer interface of the closure means. If the interface is broken and opened during the implementation of the opening process of opening the container, the directional material may escape.

It may typically be advantageous if the means for releasing the fragrance can be activated by an application or production means that applies or produces activation energy. The activation energy may be, for example, mechanical energy obtained by producing motion against frictional forces or by producing a predetermined temperature, a predetermined air humidity and / or by producing electromagnetic radiation such as IR / UV or visible radiation. Can be. In addition, activation energy may additionally be provided to increase the surface area of the perfume and / or to vaporize the perfume to release the fragrance. Thus, the present invention is not limited to designs in which the release of fragrance is only controlled at the point of the opening process. The closure means according to the invention are designed such that the fragrance is released at the latest during the opening process.

The fragrance can be applied to the closing means in different positions. Certain embodiments ensure that the perfume can escape into the ambient air of the container or closing means during the opening process so that the consumer perceives the perfume. For example, it can be provided that the fragrance is applied to the surface of the operating part, such as a metallic strap or a peel-off strap of a container, generally referred to as a "tab" of a can or can. The tab may be provided with encapsulated fragrance, for example by painting, varnishing, paste or coating, and the capsule is broken and opened when the actuator is gripped during the opening process and a force is applied to open the container. It is particularly advantageous if the actuating tab is formed as a lever for breaking and opening the lid mirror, and the lever is moved away from the cover mirror in carrying out the opening process. According to this design, it is difficult for the fragrance to be applied to the operating portion to be in unwanted contact with the food stored in the container.

In order to encapsulate the fragrance, fine capsules having a size of about 4 to 40 μm in diameter, preferably 5 to 10 μm in diameter are used. Suitable encapsulated materials, for example, are melamine resins, crosslinked aminoplasts or melamine formaldehyde resins. Also acrylic resins or gelatins can be provided, for example, which provide a further advantage without the release of formaldehyde.

The encapsulated fine fragrance may be included in a carrier such as ink, varnish or adhesive and applied to the closure means which can be actuated or to the container and the volume of the fine capsule in a dry mixture of varnish / color or ink or the like and the fine capsule It proved to be particularly advantageous if the allocation reached 5 to 35%, preferably 20%. The carrier, for example a mixture of inks or varnishes and fine capsules, is then especially applied to the operating part using a printing process, for example pad printing or jet printing, or a spraying process. If a spraying process or an ink jet process is used, the product parameters or process parameters of the fine capsules are set such that the fine capsules remain intact during the application process. After application, the mixture is dried, for example by infrared, laser or UV radiation.

In general, the fragrance may be applied to the container, for example the container body. It is also possible that the fragrance is a component such as a coating, varnish, foil or paper. In addition, within the scope of the present invention, the coating, varnish, foil or paper will be a component of the reservoir wall which is destroyed and opened in particular by mechanical, chemical, photoelectric or photochemical action to encapsulate the fragrance and release the fragrance. Can be.

In a further preferred embodiment, the actuator is provided by an outer shell of the closure body, while the closure means comprises a screw closure with a closure body, for example with internal threads. In this embodiment, the encapsulated fragrance and / or fragrance reservoir can preferably be arranged in the region of the outer shell of the closure body so that the fragrance can escape when the closure is actuated by breaking open the reservoir or encapsulation. have.

In addition, it may be useful for the described screw closure to have a warranty seal and includes a fragrance reservoir wall that can be broken open at least in part of the screw closure.

Preferably, the closure of the closure means comprises a line of weakness in part of the container wall and at least a part of the closure, in which the container is destroyed and opened during the opening process. This kind of closure means is particularly useful in cardboard or plastic cutting tabs, also in metal container walls, for example in the case of beverage cans, or also in metal foil packaging.

Preferably, the fragility line extends over a portion of the wall of the fragrance reservoir so that the fragrance reservoir is destroyed and opened simultaneously with the opening process of the container.

Preferably, the actuating portion can be designed as an actuating tap that transmits actuation force to the closure to break open the container in the region of the closure.

Preferably, the actuating portion comprises a portion of the fragrance reservoir wall that is broken and opened when the user exerts actuation force by holding the actuating portion.

In general, it may be advantageous for the actuator to comprise part of the reservoir wall, the part being destroyed and opened as a result of closing means operation and / or as a result of actuation gripping to open the container when applying activation energy. Each means of production for generating activation energy of any of the forms described above can be provided.

In addition, it may be advantageous for the closure to include part of the reservoir wall, which is broken and opened as a result of the closing means operation and / or as a result of the operation gripping to open the container when applying the activation energy. The activation energy can be provided here in a variety of ways as described above.

The closure means according to the invention are generally not limited to the fragrances applied to the closure means, ie the closure part or the actuating part alone. In containers comprising a container body and closing means, the fragrance may also be applied to the container body. In the above, it may be useful when the container body comprises part of the reservoir wall, which part is broken open as a result of the application of activation energy by the user grasping the container to open the container. Even in this case, it is possible to generate the activation energy in various ways, for example as described above. Accordingly, the present invention includes a container that holds the container as well as the operating part, for example with its other hand, when the perfume is applied to the container body and the user manipulates the operating part, whereby the required operating force is generated and the release of the perfume Is caused by the user grasping the container. In addition, it may be provided for applying the fragrance to the container body and to the closing means such that the fragrance is released from the container simultaneously or at intervals in different positions during the opening process.

In addition, it may also be advantageous for the closure means to comprise a large number of encapsulated fragrance reservoirs which, in particular, in the surface region of the closure means, are broken and opened upon application of the operating force so that the fragrance can escape to the outside.

In addition, it may be advantageous for the closing means to be designed such that the actuation force for opening the container can be transmitted to the closure through a part of the reservoir wall, and that the reservoir wall is designed to be broken and open in the event of a predetermined actuation force. . For example, the above embodiment is suitable for use in beverage cans or in cans.

The actuating tab is also preferably designed as a lever which presses against one lever arm of the lever towards a portion of the fragrance reservoir wall to break up and open a portion of the fragrance reservoir wall during the opening process of the container.

For some of the apparatus, the present invention relates to a food container comprising a closing means for opening the container, said closing means being designed and operable according to the invention. The food container may be designed to be filled with other products such as stewed fruit, yoghurt, etc., as well as beverages such as milk and fruit juices, and the fragrances used and in the closure means or generally applied to the container may be Is selected in connection with.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the use of the fragrance material as a fragrance can also be provided, the fragrance material being supplied as a flavor as well as as a fragrance. For this purpose, the fragrance material is applied to a part of the closure means, and the fragrance material is removed from the container when the fragrance material is removed from the container so that the fragrance material in the part of the closure means can develop a part of the flavor and also the effect of the fragrance material. And / or product. When the aromatic material is combined with the closing means to open the container, the aromatic material is applied in the region of the closure and in the region of the closure the aromatic material is freely set and / or simultaneously released by the opening process. The opening is preferably exposed or produced in the container. For this purpose, the fragrance material can be applied in the same way as described above for the fragrance in the Sangik region of the closure and also generally applied to the container.

For some of the methods, the object of the present invention is achieved by a container opening method using a closing means operable to open a container, the closing means comprising at least one operating portion, wherein the user at at least one operating portion Combines the closure means for carrying out the opening process with one closure effectively connected to the actuating portion, the closure closing the container, in which the opening is exposed or produced by the operation of the closing means, where the fragrance It is released by the container, in particular by the closing means, and the time of the fragrance release is selectively controlled such that the release of the fragrance is activated in carrying out the opening process. The method of the invention is characterized in that a perfume is applied to the actuating part. Preferably, the fragrance is applied to the area of the operating portion where the user touches or grips the operating portion in order to carry out the opening process.

It may be useful if the release of the fragrance is activated by controlling the ambient conditions of the vessel, such as the power flux density of electron radiation at temperature, air humidity and / or visible, UV or IR distance. The adjustment of the ambient conditions can be coupled to the performance of the opening process, ie the opening process is designed such that the ambient conditions of the at least one of the aforementioned containers are automatically changed accordingly and the release of the fragrance is activated as a result. For example, the fragrance reservoir can be destroyed and opened by the operation of the closing means such that the fragrance is exposed to electromagnetic radiation or to air humidity which the fragrance itself activates to release the fragrance.

The term " opening process " as used above with respect to the method and the closing means for opening the container includes all aspects of time which are directly connected to the container opening process. Therefore, the term includes all said time aspects which are part of the operating process for immediately opening the container. Therefore, after removal of the cover the container itself has not yet been opened and the product stored in the container is not yet accessible and the opening process does not include the removal of the possible cover of the closing means.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a photochemically activatable fragrance may be provided, the fragrance being used in a closure means in a scent-tight manner, and the exposure of the fragrance to light to effect an open process. During the operation of the closing means for ease. The photochemically activatable fragrance is encapsulated or received in a reservoir in a closing means, which reservoir is broken open in the opening process or when the capsule of fragrance is broken.

In a further embodiment it would be useful if the wet chemical reaction of the fragrance is activated such that the fragrance is released upon operation of the closure means. The method is particularly suitable when the fragrance used is activated in response to human secretions such as sweat. In addition, a wet chemical reaction may also be provided that occurs between the product and the fragrance stored in the container and that the contact of the two reagents occurs when the product is removed from the container.

It may be particularly useful for some fragrance components reacting with each other to produce the desired scent applied to the closure means as reagents separated from each other, and the contact of the fragrance components between each other means Becomes easy during operation. Since both reagents are precisely matched in this case, the resulting scent can be exactly constant. It goes without saying that the fragrance components in this case can, for example, be able to undergo a wet chemical reaction with one another to produce the aroma.

Preferably, a force can be applied to the fragrance such that, during operation of the closure means, for example, the capsule of fragrance is broken open and the release of fragrance is activated or increased due to an increase in surface area, the ratio of the surface area to volume of the fragrance is significantly increased. .

In addition, it is also possible to provide a vaporized, granular or sprayed means for the operation of the closing means so that the surface area of the fragrance is significantly increased, so that the release of the fragrance is activated or significantly increased because of the increased surface area.

This is particularly useful if the reservoir containing the fragrance is placed in the closing means and the reservoir is destroyed and opened in the operation of the closing means so that the fragrance can be released. The activation of the closure means can be coupled to the activation energy that is applied to activate the release of the fragrance.

In addition, it can be particularly useful if a fragrance is applied to the actuator and the fragrance is released by the user holding the actuator. The fragrance can be released, for example, by the sweat of the user's hand and the wet chemical reaction of the fragrance or by the explosion of the capsule of the fragrance used on the surface of the operating part. The method is suitable for the case where the actuator is formed by the outer shell of the screw closure, the tab of the cutting strip of cardboard, the plastic or metal packaging, the mixed material packaging or the riveted metal tab of the can. If the actuating unit alone, not the closure of the closing means, comprises a fragrance applied to the actuating unit, for example in the form of a reservoir such as a fine encapsulated fragrance, any contact of the fragrance with the product stored in the food container is generally prevented. .

In further embodiments, it may also be provided that the fragrance is applied to the closure where the container is opened during the opening process. In order to prevent the perfume from being released prior to carrying out the opening process, the perfume can be contained or encapsulated in the reservoir. The coupling may be provided on both the inner and outer surfaces of the closure as well as on the interior of the wall of the closure. The bond may be that the reservoir is broken and opened during the opening process, thus releasing the aroma.
