Since it is possible without further ado, dimensionally stable packaging that only serves the task of If the filling material has to meet the requirements of manufacturing in a material-saving and cost-effective manner with sufficient stability, the supporting part can also be produced in a material-saving manner, since it no longer has to absorb transport forces and the like to the extent that is the case with one-piece packaging of this type is.
• the user-friendly handling is guaranteed as with one-piece packaging. Compared to refill bags etc. there is no need to refill or refill. Compared to pure one-piece plastic packaging, in which printing and labeling are difficult depending on the plastic used, in the embodiment according to the invention all the advertising and consumer information can be attached to the refill, which in particular is also easier to print due to the variety of possible materials and can be labeled.
• the carrying part and refill can also be coordinated with one another so that only certain refill packs fit into a certain carrying part, so that, for example, safety precautions that are necessary for certain filling goods, such as child-resistant closure etc., can be provided on the carrying part and it is ensured that Refill packs with a corresponding filling material can only be used in supporting parts set up in this way.
• the refill can advantageously be snapped into the supporting part in order to create a firm connection in any position, which can only be released with the application of force.
• the carrying part and the refill pack complement one another to form a cylindrical or cuboid outline, so that the impression of a one-piece packaging is created on the outside.
• the supporting part has an essentially U-shaped outline with a lower leg forming the base of the packaging, an upper leg having the device for removing the filling material and a web connecting the two legs with the device for the Has handling, and that the refill can be inserted between the legs to the web.
• a further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the supporting part has side guides for the refill pack, at least on the mutually facing sides of the legs.
• the device for removing the filling material has a removal nozzle which can be fixed on the upper leg and can be connected to the opening of the refill after it has been inserted into the carrying part.
• the removal nozzle on the upper leg of the supporting part is loosened and brought into such a position that the empty refill pack is released and can be removed.
• the dispensing nozzle is again connected to the opening so that the contents can be removed via the dispensing nozzle.
• the lower end of the removal nozzle can be inserted into the opening of the refill so that the contents can be removed properly.
• the design can be such that a sealing seat between the extraction nozzle and the opening which meets the requirements is ensured.
• the refill can be opened at its opening with the simplest type of closure, e.g. B. a sealing membrane, which is either to be removed before inserting the extraction nozzle or is designed so that it is separated by means of the extraction nozzle.
• B a sealing membrane
• the removal nozzle can have a closure flap in order to be able to close the opening on the refill package, or the packaging as such, which is exposed through the removal nozzle.
• Closure flaps of a conventional type can be used for this, especially those that, by opening them, also make child-proofing difficult.
• the removal nozzle can be snapped or screwed onto the edge of the opening on the upper wall of the upper leg of the supporting part.
• the type of determination of the extraction nozzle on the supporting part is primarily based on the requirements placed on the filling material.
• the refill pack consists at least partially of a recyclable material, in particular of paper, cardboard or a composite material formed therefrom, with coatings, inserts or the like which possibly ensure tightness.
• the Have refill packs with membrane-like closure parts on the bottom or top can be stored, transported and presented without problems, in particular conventional transport systems, such as pallets or the like, and conventional presentation devices, such as shelves or the like, can be used for the refill pack.
