Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an opening device for packaging containers, more particularly a container for liquids, produced from a material web or a material sheet according to the preamble of claim 1 and a covering element for such a device according to claim 21.
  • Such opening devices for packaging containers are for instance known from EP 0 658 480 A1 or EP 95 920 224.3, according to which at least one base element is placed on a package produced from a material web or a material sheet, in particular, which comprises an opening in the form of a hole or a hole indication, for instance, in the region of this container opening. Furthermore, these known opening devices comprise at least one covering element for closing the opening, wherein the covering element may be placed on the base element in such manner that the opening may both be closed and opened.
  • the preferred package type which is produced from a laminate, which is produced from a cardboard or paper core with thermoplastic layers and, optionally, aluminium foil, can be produced from a continuous material web or from individual blanks.
  • This package type is frequently provided with an opening device which consists of a so-called tear-off strip which is torn off when the package is opened.
  • an opening device which consists of a so-called tear-off strip which is torn off when the package is opened.
  • EP-A-0 558 946 it is also known to provide this package type with an outer thermoplastic structure which surrounds this strip.
  • This thermoplastic structure may be provided with a pouring element and a covering element which may be folded onto each other by means of a hinge function and may be rigidly interlocked due to their design.
  • the strip which is most of the time situated beneath this thermoplastic structure, often has a part which is unsealed and folded over the sealed portion of the strip. This facilitates gripping the strip when the package is being opened and to tear it off for opening the hole or the hole indication.
  • packaging container which is formed of a web of packaging material which mainly consists of paper or plastic material, by means of a film-shaped foil or, respectively, a pull tab or a plastic tab consisting of synthetic resin.
  • the foil or, respectively, the pull tab is torn off or, respectively, the foil is pierced with a drinking straw.
  • the pull tab may be connected with the innermost layer of the container laminate so that the aseptic requirements are met when the container is being filled. This layer is initially torn during opening and then removed together with the tab in the opening area.
  • an opening device for opening the sealing of a packaging container at a position for the opening such that an opening section is provided for opening the sealing of the sealing portion, an actuating section for actuating the opening section and a supporting section for supporting the actuating section in such a manner that the device for opening the sealing is safely attached to the packaging container.
  • the opening section can for instance be used inwardly in a hinge-like manner for piercing the optionally pre-perforated opening.
  • thermoplastic structure mounted on the opening of the packaging container, which is attached to the container surface in the opening area by means of a hot-melt adhesive.
  • the drawback of these conventional opening devices particularly consists in that it is, most of the time, difficult to apply these thermoplastic structures since expensive positioning devices are provided and that it cannot always reliably be avoided that the thermoplastic structure becomes detached during transport.
  • the material edges of the opening of the packaging container are not sealed by a thermoplastic structure applied onto the surface of the packaging container so that the package material softens on the edges of the opening when the package content is poured out. It is also difficult to reliably disinfect or, respectively, sterilize such opening arrangements before the package is formed and filled.
  • JP 09 254 967 discloses an opening device which is glued to the base part on the inside of the package in the area of the opening.
  • the invention meets the underlying object by means of the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized and explained in detail in the subclaims.
  • a covering element for a device according to the invention is characterized in claim 21.
  • the inventive opening device for packaging containers which are, more particularly, produced from a laminate having a core of paper or cardboard onto which thermoplastic layers and, optionally, aluminium are laminated, and which are most often produced from a continuous web, but may also consist of individual material sheets, comprises at least one base element which is placed on an opening of the packaging container, the opening having been pre-fabricated in the material web or the material sheet by punching, for instance.
  • a covering element which may be used for closing or covering the opening, can be placed on the base element such that the opening is covered or closed.
  • the covering element according to the invention fulfills a double function: on the one hand, the covering element comprises joining means for joining the covering element to the base element once the base element has been placed on the container and, on the other hand, functional means for performing a predeterminable function. More particularly, the covering element comprises snap, detent, clamping, hinged or screw joining means for joining to the base element.
  • the covering element advantageously comprises a base portion, said base portion being joinable to the base element by means of a snap, detent, clamping or screw connection.
  • the covering element advantageously has a closure part which serves for closing the package and may be joined to the base part of the covering element by means of snap, detent, clamping, hinged or screw connection.
  • the covering element may be produced and mounted separately and may be shaped in different ways according to the desired application. While the package together with the base element can be completely filled, folded and produced to be ready for packing or distribution, respectively, the covering element is advantageously fitted in a second production step only.
  • the covering element may comprise, as a functional means, a closure part for reclosing the opening, a protective part for protecting the base element against damage due to the transporting of the package or, for instance, also a safety seal which can be irreversibly changed the first time the packaging container is opened or, respectively, which is destroyed so that one can biuniquely determine whether third persons had already opened the package prior to that.
  • a closure part for reclosing the opening
  • a protective part for protecting the base element against damage due to the transporting of the package
  • a safety seal which can be irreversibly changed the first time the packaging container is opened or, respectively, which is destroyed so that one can biuniquely determine whether third persons had already opened the package prior to that.

  • the base element of the opening device advantageously comprises an opening element which can be removed for opening the container and which is joined to the base element before the container is opened.
  • Both the base element and the opening element are advantageously formed or injected from a common thermoplastic structure so that the base element and the opening element are only separated when the container is opened for the first time as the opening element is removed from the base element.
  • the base element is attached to the edge area of the opening of the packaging container such that it completely surrounds the edge area on the outside and/or inside of the container and thus seals the packaging material edges in the opening area on the inside of the container, in particular.
  • the laminate edges of the packaging container are completely bordered, it is prevented that, for instance, a liquid in the container penetrates into the laminate and, thus, that the material edges in the opening area get soaked.
  • the base element of the opening device according to the invention may safely and tightly be attached to the packaging container so that it is avoided that the opening device gets torn off during the forming, folding and filling of the container as well as during distribution and at the end-user.
  • the base element for instance consists of an injectable plastic material which may be injected, in the injection process, around the edge area of the opening for sealing the edges of the container material.
  • This so-called DIM technology Direct Injection Molded
  • the opening device according to the invention further comprises a covering element which may be produced separately. Due to the fact that the base element and the covering element are separate, there is also achieved a separation of functions for the opening device. Thus, different materials may be used both for the base element and the covering element, which are especially adapted to the respective applicational purpose.
  • the covering element is, for instance, integrally formed and is joined to the base element by means of a snap, detent, clamping, hinged or screw connection.
