Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle or bag-like container made of a plastic, in particular for foodstuffs, such as a baby bottle provided with a pacifier, and a method for filling this container in particular.
  • Baby bottles made of glass or an unbreakable plastic, are known and proven for the administration of liquid baby food.
  • liquid baby food often consists of two components, a liquid and a powder phase.
  • the baby bottle is heated with the liquid phase and then the powdered one is added. After mixing the two components, the baby food is ready, has the correct temperature and can be administered immediately.
  • a container for example a baby bottle, which avoids the disadvantages described, for which purpose in such a container, the aim is that at least one chamber is tearably separated from a second chamber.
  • At least two chambers are formed in this one container, which can be filled differently. After tearing open, after which essentially only one chamber is formed within the container, and the then possible mixing of the ingredients, a finished baby food is available, for example.
  • a chamber is separated from a second chamber by at least one seam.
  • a chamber is separated from a second chamber by a membrane that can be torn open and / or torn off.
  • two chambers are separated from one another by a film or the like, for example, welded or glued into the container. It is also conceivable to form such a membrane in one piece with the container itself in the course of container production.
  • a chamber is separated from a second chamber by a boat-like molded part.
  • a boat-like molded part As a rule, two tearable seams between the shaped parts and the opposite container walls are then expedient.
  • Such a molded part can be used to increase the stability of a container according to the invention.
  • the molded part can be arranged in a longitudinal extension between two seam sections.
  • a tearing open or tearing off of the seam, the membrane and / or the molded part is facilitated if it is designed in a side view or the membrane tapering from a larger chamber to a smaller chamber like a funnel, conical, rounded or the like.
  • a maximum pressure will then build up in the direction of the funnel-like taper, which leads specifically to tearing and thus the possibility of mixing the contents of the at least two Chambers allowed.
  • This effect can be enhanced by the measure if it is provided that the seam, the membrane and / or the boat-like molded part is arranged at a location of a locally smallest cross-section of the container.
  • More than two chambers can easily be separated from one another in this way, for example three chambers, an arrangement of the chambers axially one above the other being expedient in many cases. Intermediate floors are then formed, as it were, by the separating seams, membrane and / or molded parts.
  • one chamber is filled with a powdered solid and another chamber is filled with a liquid. It will also be considered to fill a smaller upper chamber with the powdery component, for example, while the chamber axially underneath contains a liquid phase.
  • the container according to the invention can then be bottle-shaped, for example formed with the lower chamber in conventional heating devices for baby bottles, and the liquid phase can be warmed up, after which the seam or membrane tears by pressing or pulling and the contents of the chambers are mixed together can be.
  • an opening of a bottle-like container in a chamber is provided with a baby teat.
  • a baby teat In the case of a type of disposable bottle, this cannot be lost on the container tethered.
  • the suction cup can, for example, be formed in one piece with the container or alternatively can be made separately from a suitable plastic material and can be glued or welded to the container covering the container opening.
  • Such a teat connected to the container will preferably be covered by a hood connected to the container for hygienic reasons.
  • a hood for example also formed in a film-like manner from a plastic, protects such a suction device against contamination.
  • the hood can also at least form a guarantee closure, for example by being connected to the container by means of a plastic ring which can be torn open or torn off. In addition, it is useful if the hood closes a drinking opening of the vacuum cleaner.
  • a container opening has a thread for closing with a cap and / or a suction cup.
  • an opening of a chamber is kept open by a dimensionally stable plastic ring, in particular when the container is formed by a film material. This ensures that a liquid can escape through the opening in any position of the container.
  • the plastic ring has at least one opening which is connected to a chamber via a tube.
  • the individual chambers can then advantageously be filled via such tubes. Subsequently, the individual tubes are apparently only closed again.
  • a tube passes through a boat-like molded part to which it is connected in a liquid-tight manner.
  • a comparatively stable core is formed, formed by the plastic ring, the molded part and the tube, which in particular gives the container a high degree of buckling resistance if the tube still protrudes further at the end, inside the chamber to be filled by it. It is understood that sharp corners, edges or the like on the tubes, molded parts, plastic rings etc., which are suitable for damaging the walls of the container or a seam during transport, are avoided.
  • Such a stiffening can be further underlined by the measure if it is provided that a tube and / or a boat-like molded part has stiffening elements lying against the container walls.
  • the plastic is heat-resistant, food-safe and / or suitable for microwaves. The latter also just in case it warms up.
  • the container is provided with light protection, in particular against UV rays, for example a glued-on film or a corresponding coloring of the plastic.
  • light protection in particular against UV rays
  • a protective film for example made of a PET material, can also protect the container contents Shield oxygen or specifically only against UV radiation and are also available as a carrier film for printing.
  • the container In a structural design of the container, it can be provided that it is made in several parts with a half-shell-like front and rear side made of a film-like plastic, which are glued and / or welded to one another in a liquid-tight manner at one edge and more preferably with a base part.
  • the base part can, for example, be curved, in particular outwards, which also ensures a high level of stability of the container on the lower, if necessary. reinforced, protruding edges of the front or Back is given.
  • the formation of the edge can be such that it has a sufficient material thickness and the half-shells or the base part is formed so far above that this edge can have an integrated tool, for example an embossed or stamped spoon or the like.
  • Such an edge protruding from the half-shells or the base part can further serve to connect a large number of containers to one another.
  • a large number of interconnected half-shells can be embossed in one work step and with a corresponding counterpart and, if necessary, 1. welded to floors and / or glued.
  • These containers, which are then finished, are expediently also jointly fed to a filling station and are only separated when necessary after filling.
  • a front and / or a rear side and / or a base made of a multilayer plastic film exist, "in particular a composite film which is advantageously a co-extrudate. A simple and inexpensive manufacture of the container is thus given.
  • a layer of the plastic film pointing into the interior of the container prefferably be made of a PE material with a peel component, arranged on a carrier layer and also made of a PE material.
  • a seam is expediently formed here by two opposite, welded and / or bonded PE layers, each with a peel component.
  • the force required for the tearing can be set reproducibly by the seam dimensions and also by parameters such as the temperature, the pressure applied and the duration of a weld and by the proportion of the peel component, for example to 2 N, 4 N or 8 N ,
  • an outer lamination made of a PET material can also be applied to the film, which on the one hand offers a protective function against, for example, oxygen or light, in particular UV rays, and on the other hand can serve as a printing base.
  • the print will usually be mirror-inverted on the back, the side of the PET film that lies against the PE layer without peel component, so that it cannot be damaged.
  • Two PE carrier layers and / or in particular two PET layers of a front and a rear side and / or a base part can be destroyed while at least destroying the one in between Layers of PE material with peel components can be welded and / or glued to one another in a liquid-tight manner on the edges.
  • the force required to tear open such adhesive or weld seams corresponds essentially to that required to tear the film itself and is significantly higher than the force required to tear open a seam or a membrane. This ensures that a seam and no edge welding and / or gluing will tear open under pressure.
  • Filling is thus not carried out through a possibly provided pouring opening, but rather through specially provided filling sections which remain unsealed on the edge and which are closed, in particular glued and / or welded, only after filling.
  • a spout opening if provided, can already be provided with a guarantee closure, for example, during the manufacture of the containers according to the invention.
  • the filling section is widened to a filling opening before filling.
  • a tube can then easily be inserted into a chamber for filling.
  • the edge is gripped on both sides of a filling section and widened to the filling section by shifting towards one another and, after filling, is closed by shifting in opposite directions, after which the filling section is sealed.
  • grippers can be provided, for example, which hold the containers at the edge or, for example, the edge strips can be provided with openings into which movable bolts can be introduced, so that widening or reclosing for sealing the filling sections in can be done easily.
  • a chamber is preferably widened before filling, for example by blowing in a gas under pressure. So filling the chamber does not require excess pressure, but can only be done under atmospheric pressure and from above under the influence of gravity, even if filling under pressure has proven to be significantly faster.
  • a chamber can also be filled completely, so that the container is also stiffened by the filling and remains largely dimensionally stable. Since the filling sections are preferably formed along an edge, the filling of several chambers can take place at the same time, which can further save considerable time.
