Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a flexible dispensing package, in particular for fine food and/or pharmaceutical products, usable in packaging of products, in particular such as sweeties, lozenges, tablets, chewing gums, and the like.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide the construction of a new form of dispensing package, in particular intended for fine food and/or pharmaceutical products, including sweeties, lozenges, tablets, chewing gums, and the like, having a hygienic product dispenser enabling precise administration.
  • the subject matter of the invention is the construction of a flexible package for food and/or pharmaceutical products, having a package body and the closure characterized in that the package body is formed by at least three arcuate surfaces, converging towards each other in the top part. Wherein the angle of arcuate surfaces relative to each other can be individually modified and changed. However, the application of at least one third of the arcuate surface intersecting in the upper part at least one vertically juxtaposed arcuate surface forms a dispensing opening in the top part of the package. The angle of inclination of the third arcuate surface is in the range of 1 to 800.
  • In the bottom part of the package there is located its closure in the form of a rectangular vessel with a bottom. The side edges of the vertically juxtaposed arcuate surfaces are joined together, preferably welded or glued together.
  • At least one suitably selected projection which is used for precise product dispensing, allowing the dispensing of individual pieces of the product.
  • the projection prevents larger amounts of product from penetrating to the vicinity of the dispensing opening outlet, that protects the remaining package contents from contact with hand, thus serving as a hygienic dispenser.
  • Each dispensing of the product is carried out by compressing the side edges of the package body. Due to the pressing force applied to the side edges of the package body, the dispensing opening repeals and releases one piece of the product placed in the package. By reducing the pressing force, the dispensing opening returns to the initial position, closing the interior of the package body and preventing spillage of other products from the package.
  • At least one of the vertically juxtaposed arcuate surfaces has a side surfaces chamfered with a suitable angle.
  • dispensing of the product is carried out by compressing the chamfered side surfaces of the package body. Meanwhile, closing is carried out in the same manner as in the above embodiment, by reducing the pressing force.
  • the dispensing opening is factory-supplied with a closing element, preferably a weld provided with a handle or an element of reinforced breaking tape, or the like.
  • Flexible package also comprises a closure with a bottom, the shape of which, at its edges, substantially corresponds to the shape of the package body.
  • Application of the package closure detachably connected to the package body enables the package interior to be filled with the product.
  • the flexible dispensing package is in fact being filled in the inverted position, mechanically or manually.
  • the closure of the package is put onto its body using a suitable constricting of the upper edge of the package closure and at least one protrusion/groove corresponding to the shape of the at least one groove/projection situated on the inner side of the lower edge of the package body.
  • the applied method for permanent attaching of the closure connects the two portions of the flexible package—its body and closure.
  • Another embodiment of the invention may comprise a package closure in the form of a plug, mounted on the underside of the package body, provided with the collar comprising at least one projection/groove enabling mounting of the plug to the package body.
  • the solution according to the invention shows a package made from flexible synthetic materials, for example injection molded thermoplastics.
  • the flexible dispensing package in particular for fine food and/or pharmaceutical products, comprising a body and a closure of the package, is characterized in that the body of a substantially rectangular shape is in the form of a pocket formed of arcuate surfaces juxtaposed relative to one another with straight edges, at least one of the arcuate surfaces comprising a third arcuate surface intersecting in its upper part the juxtaposed vertical surfaces to form the arcuate edge being the dispensing opening, and in the lower part the body on the inner side comprises at least one groove/projection, and the closure is in the form of substantially rectangular vessel with a bottom, which in the upper part constricts and comprises at least one projection/groove, which is located near the upper edge; wherein after overlapping of the body and the closure, the body overlaps the closure, and moreover, the inner side of at least one of the arcuate surfaces comprises at least one projection in the vicinity of the dispensing opening.
  • one of the arcuate surfaces has chamfered side surfaces.
  • the dispensing opening of the flexible dispensing package is closed in the upper part with a closing element provided with a handle.
  • the closing element is made if the form of reinforced breaking tape or horizontal weld.
  • the flexible dispensing package has a projection in the form of rib.
  • the package closure has in the upper, constricted part at least one venting slot.
  • the angle of inclination and/or bend of the arcuate surface intersecting the upper part of the body is dependent on the desired deflecting force of the dispensing opening.
  • filling of the flexible dispensing package is carried out in the inverted position, and is performed manually or automatically.
  • dispensing of the product is carried out by compressing of the longer side edges of the package body in its upper part, and closing is carried out by reducing the pressure force applied to the package body.
  • closure of the package is made of the same material as the body, or of other material, including non-elastic material.
