The International Application was published in German on Nov. 22, 2012 as WO 2012/155890 A1 under PCT Article 21(2).
- The present invention relates to a drinks container for pressurized drinks, in particular for carbonated drinks. The drinks container has a lateral container surface which is closed by base and cover elements and comprises at least one parallel-wound layer of cellulose-containing material, for example, cardboard, and at least one liquid-tight, food-compatible barrier layer.
- Such drinks containers have previously been described, for example, in US 2004/0052987 A1, WO 03/006237, JP 2005-239230 A and EP 08 013 126.
- The drinks containers described in the prior art have proved to not have a sufficiently high barrier action against water, water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide, and also, in particular in the region of their lateral surface, are not able, over the long term, to withstand internal pressures acting thereupon, as they occur, in particular, in the case of beer containers.
- An aspect of the present invention is to provide a drinks container which is able to withstand high pressure forces acting thereupon, in particular, in the region of a lateral surface.
- In an embodiment, the present invention a drinks container for a pressurized drink which includes a lateral container surface defining an inner lateral surface and a height, a cover element configured to close the lateral container surface, and a base element configured to close the lateral container surface. The lateral container surface comprises the inner lateral surface comprising a barrier layer, an exterior side, at least one parallel-wound laminate comprising a cellulose-containing material, a multilayered sheet material arranged in a region of the inner lateral surface, and a laminate overlapping region arranged on the exterior side. The laminate overlapping region comprises a first strip-like section extending over the height of the lateral container surface. The first-strip-like section comprises a width of from 8 to 15 mm. A second section is configured to curve convexly outwardly in a circumferential direction. The second section is arranged to symmetrically adjoin the first strip-like section. The at least one parallel-wound laminate comprises overlapping peripheral strips. The at least one parallel-wound laminate is covered at least in the laminate overlapping region on at least one side with an adhesive sheet material. The overlapping peripheral strips are connected to each other via an ultrasonic welding or a hot gluing.
- The present invention is described in greater detail below on the basis of embodiments and of the drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a drinks container of the prior art, the lateral container surface of which consists of at least one parallel-wound laminate made of cellulose-containing material; -
FIG. 2 shows, in an exploded view, a drinks container having the overlapping region configured according to the present invention for connecting superimposed laminate sections; -
FIG. 3 shows an unrolling of the lateral container surface; -
FIG. 4 shows, in a simplified view, a cross section of the laminate used in particular for the lateral container surface; -
FIG. 5 shows the layer structure of a multilayered sheet material forming a barrier layer facing the container interior; and -
FIG. 6 shows, in a simplified perspective view, and on a greatly enlarged scale, the layer structure of the laminate used in particular for the lateral container surface. - It has now been found that ultrasonic welding, for example, using a sonotrode, produces a drinks container which even resists high internal pressures.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the overlapping region can, for example, have a first strip-like section which extends over the entire height of the lateral container surface which has a width of 8 to 15 mm, for example, 9 to 12 mm, and symmetrically adjoining this first section, a second section that is curved convexly outwardly in the circumferential direction. An optimum distribution of the forces, in particular tensile forces, acting on the lateral container surface is achieved via this “bulge”.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the convex section can, for example, be slanted at the ends thereof towards the upper and lower lateral container rims in the direction of the first strip-like section in order to achieve the highest possible strength and safety in the region of the transition points between the lateral container surface and the container bottom or the container cover.
- In order to obtain a drinks container having a high barrier effect with respect to water, water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide, an embodiment of the present invention provides that the multilayered sheet material (III) can, for example, have a total thickness between 50 μm and 120 μm, for example, between 80 and 100 μm, and that the thickness fraction of the sheet (14), based on the total thickness of the multilayered sheet material (III), can, for example, be between 5% and 15%, for example, between 8% and 12%, and that the sheet (14), for example, be embedded on both sides over the whole surface between polyolefin sheets, for example, PE sheets.
- It has been found that a satisfactory solution to the existing problems in drinks containers of the type according to the present invention is achieved for the first time using the thicknesses and grammages of the individual layer that are proposed according to the present invention.
