Abstract

According to this process, the reclosable outlet (9) of a container is moulded on the front zone (1) of an injection moulding, dispensing with a remote, independent, two-part moulding tool to produce the reclosable outlet (9). The use of materials that slide on one another makes the opening movement possible in spite of the moulding. Moreover, moulding makes a cost-effective and functionally advantageous design of the reclosable outlet (9) possible, including a double tamper-proof sealing system.

Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Behälters mit Wiederverschluss Process for making a reclosable container
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Behälters mit Wiederverschluss durch Spritzgiessen und einen nach diesem Verfahren hergestellten Behälter.The invention relates to a method for producing a reclosable container by injection molding and a container produced by this method.
Durch die EP 1033318 (US 6464921 ) ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer zweischichtigen Tubenschulter bekannt, bei dem in einer ersten Form eine Tubenschulter hergestellt wird, die anschliessend in einer zweiten Spritzgiessform formschlüssig mit einer Schicht aus einem anderen Material umspritzt wird, durch das die Tubenschulter eine Diffusionssperre erhalten soll. Die sich durch das Umspritzen ergebende formschlüssige Verbindung soll die gegenseitige Ablösung von nicht aneinander haftenden Materialien verhindern.EP 1033318 (US 6464921) discloses a method for producing a two-layer tube shoulder, in which a tube shoulder is produced in a first mold, which is then molded in a form-fitting manner with a layer of another material in a second injection mold, through which the tube shoulder should receive a diffusion barrier. The positive connection resulting from the extrusion coating is intended to prevent the mutual detachment of materials that do not adhere to one another.
Aktuell benutzte Verfahren zur Herstellung. Z.B. einer Zahnpastatube mit deren Wiederverschluss benötigen eine besonders aufwändige und umfangreiche Verfahrensanlage, da sie den vorderen Bereich des Behälters, einen auf die Stirnseite des Behälters als Garantieverschluss aufzusiegelndes Folienstück und den Wiederverschluss voneinander getrennt herstellen und Fördermittel und Montagemittel benötigen, um diese Teile zusammenzuführen und miteinander zu verbinden.Manufacturing processes currently used. For example, a toothpaste tube with its reclosure require a particularly complex and extensive process system, since they produce the front area of the container, a piece of film to be sealed on the front side of the container as a guarantee closure and the reclosure separately and require funding and assembly means to bring these parts together and together connect.
Durch die EP 0178377 ist auch ein Behälter bekannt, dessen Schulterbereich in einen zur Ausbringung eines streichfähigen Materials ausgeführten Düsenteil übergeht, an dessen äusserem Ende ein mit seitlichem Grifflappen versehener Abreiss- verschluss einstückig angeformt ist. Dadurch entfällt zwar die separate Herstellung eines Garantieverschlussteiles, jedoch muss die den Düsenteil mit Abstand um- schliessende Schraubkappe separat hergestellt, gespeichert, zugeführt und am Behälter montiert werden.A container is also known from EP 0178377, the shoulder area of which merges into a nozzle part designed for dispensing a spreadable material, on the outer end of which a tear-off closure provided with a lateral grip tab is integrally formed. Although this eliminates the separate manufacture of a guarantee closure part, the screw cap which surrounds the nozzle part at a distance must be manufactured, stored, supplied and mounted on the container separately.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Behälters und seines Wiederverschlusses zu finden, das mit einer gegenüber bekannten Herstellungsanlagen wesentlich einfacheren Anlage ausführbar ist, so dass erhebli- ehe Kosten sowohl für die Bereitstellung einer Verfahrensanlage als auch bei der Herstellung des Behälters mit seinem Wiederverschluss eingespart werden. Ausserdem liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde einen insbesondere für Zahnpasta, Pharmaka und Lebensmittel geeigneten, preisgünstig herstellbaren Behälter zu finden, bei dem die Unversehrtheit seines Inhaltes ohne Öffnen seines Wiederverschluss leicht erkennbar ist.The invention is based on the object of finding a method for producing a container and its reclosure which can be carried out with a system which is considerably simpler than known production systems, so that before costs are saved both for the provision of a process plant and for the manufacture of the container with its reclosure. In addition, the invention is based on the object of finding a container which is particularly suitable for toothpaste, pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs and can be produced inexpensively and in which the integrity of its contents can be easily recognized without opening its resealable container.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgaben erfolgt aufgrund der Merkmale der Patentansprüche 1 und 5. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Patentansprüche und der folgenden Beschreibung an Hand der Zeichnungen zu entnehmen. Es zeigt:These objects are achieved on the basis of the features of patent claims 1 and 5. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent patent claims and the following description based on the drawings. It shows:
Fig.1 eine sektorförmig ausgeschnitte perspektivische Darstellung eines vorderen Behälterbereichs mit angeformtem Wiederverschluss, mit für den Wiederverschluss versetztem Schnittwinkel,1 shows a sector-like cut-out perspective representation of a front container area with a molded reclosure, with a cutting angle offset for the reclosure,
Fig.2 eine Aufsicht auf den Entleerungsstutzen des Behälters nach Fig.1 vor dem Anformen des Wiederverschlusses,2 shows a top view of the emptying nozzle of the container according to FIG. 1 before the resealable is formed,
Fig.3 eine Seitenansicht der Anordnung nach Fig.1 ,3 shows a side view of the arrangement according to FIG. 1,
Fig.4 einen Radialschnitt einer Spritzgiessform zur Herstellung des vorderen Behälterbereichs nach Fig.1 mit dessen unschraffierter Darstellung und4 shows a radial section of an injection mold for producing the front container area according to FIG. 1 with its unshaded illustration and
Fig.5 den auf einen inneren Formteil einer Spritzgiessform angeordneten vorderen Behälterbereich entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 4 nach Anformung eines Wiederverschlusses durch eine aufgesetzten äusseren Formteil.5 shows the front container area arranged on an inner molded part of an injection mold in accordance with the illustration in FIG. 4 after a reclosure has been molded on by an outer molded part placed on it.
Wie die Darstellungen der Fig.1 , 4 und 5 zeigen, verläuft der vordere Behälterbereich 1 von einer die Entleerungsöffnung 2 verschliessenden Verschlusswand 3 über einen Entleerungsstutzen 4 und einen Schulterbereich 5 bis zu einem umlaufenden Schürzenrand 6, der auf an sich bekannte Weise für die Verschweissung mit einem nicht dargestellten, schlauchförmigen Behältermantel vorgesehen ist. Vor dem Schürzenrand 6 bzw. angrenzend an den Behältermantel hat der vordere Behälter- bereich 1 eine umlaufende Rille 7, in die ein Randbereich 8 des an den vorderen Behälterbereich 1 angeformten Wiederverschlusses 9 eingreift. Diese Rille 7 hat an mehreren engbegrenzten Stellen des Behälterumfanges eine Verbindung zur vorderen Aussenseite 10 des vorderen Behälterbereichs 1 , so dass sich beim Anformen des Wiederverschlusses 9 an diesen Stellen axial gerichtete Solltrennstege 11 ausbilden, über die der Wiederverschluss an seinem Umfangsbereich an dem vorderen Behälterbereich 1 verankert ist. Somit bilden die Solltrennstege 11 einen von aussen gut sichtbaren Verschluss, so dass deren Unversehrtheit garantiert, dass der Behälterinhalt und auch der vordere Behälterbereich 1 mit Entleerungsstutzen 4 und Schulterbereich 5 vor dem erstmaligen Öffnen unberührt geblieben sind. Dieser folglich für den gesamten vorderen Behälterbereich 1 wirksame Garantieverschluss macht den Behälter besonders auch für Pharmaka geeignet, da für solche auch die Sterilität des vorderen Aussenbereichs des Behälters von besonderer Bedeutung ist.1, 4 and 5 show, the front container area 1 extends from a closure wall 3 closing the emptying opening 2 via an emptying nozzle 4 and a shoulder area 5 to a circumferential skirt edge 6, which is known per se for welding is provided with a tubular container jacket, not shown. In front of the skirt edge 6 or adjacent to the container jacket, the front container Area 1 has a circumferential groove 7 into which an edge area 8 of the reclosure 9 molded onto the front container area 1 engages. This groove 7 has a connection to the front outer side 10 of the front container area 1 at several narrowly limited points on the circumference of the container, so that when the reclosure 9 is formed, axially directed separating webs 11 are formed at these points, via which the reclosure on its circumferential area on the front container area 1 is anchored. The predetermined separating webs 11 thus form a closure which is clearly visible from the outside, so that their integrity guarantees that the container contents and also the front container region 1 with emptying nozzle 4 and shoulder region 5 have remained unaffected before the first opening. This guarantee closure, which is consequently effective for the entire front container area 1, makes the container particularly suitable for pharmaceuticals, since the sterility of the front outer area of the container is also of particular importance for such.
Zusätzlich zu solchem Garantieverschluss über die aussen am Wiederverschluss 9 sichtbaren Solltrennstege 11 ist auch am Umfang der die Entleerungsöffnung 2 verschliessenden Verschlusswand 3 des Entleerungsstutzens 4 mindestens eine Solltrennstelle 12 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise aus einem sehr eng begrenzten, die unter Aussenkante 13 der kreisförmigen Verschlusswand 3 mit der umlaufenden Innenkante 14 verbindenden Materialbereich 15 besteht, der sich beim Öffnen des Wiederverschlusses 9 leicht zertrennen lässt, aber andererseits am Entleerungsstutzen 4 einen dichten Verschluss garantiert.In addition to such a guarantee closure via the predetermined separating webs 11 which are visible on the outside of the reclosure 9, at least one predetermined separating point 12 is also provided on the circumference of the closing wall 3 of the emptying nozzle 4 which closes the emptying opening 2 and which, for example, consists of a very narrowly defined one, which is located below the outer edge 13 of the circular closing wall 3 the peripheral inner edge 14 connecting material region 15, which can be easily separated when opening the reclosure 9, but on the other hand guarantees a tight seal on the emptying nozzle 4.
Das Ablösen der Verschlusswand 3 vom Entleerungsstutzen 4 durch die erste Öffnungsbewegung des Wiederverschlusses 9 ergibt sich durch einen unlösbaren und verdrehfesten Einschluss der Verschlusswand 3 in der Deckelwand 16 des Wiederverschlusses 9. Hierzu hat die über die Öffnungsebene abstehende Verschlusswand 3 mindestens eine umlaufend gerichtete Rille 17 und mindestens eine Vertiefung 18, in die das Material der Deckelwand 16 eindringt, wenn der Wiederverschluss 9 in dem Formwerkzeug entsprechend Fig.5 an den Vorderbereich 1 des Behälters angeformt wird.The detachment of the closure wall 3 from the emptying nozzle 4 by the first opening movement of the reclosure 9 results from an inseparable and non-rotatable inclusion of the closure wall 3 in the cover wall 16 of the reclosure 9. For this purpose, the closure wall 3 projecting beyond the opening level has at least one circumferentially directed groove 17 and at least one recess 18 into which the material of the lid wall 16 penetrates when the reclosure 9 is molded onto the front region 1 of the container in the molding tool according to FIG.
Der für ein erneutes Schliessen des Behälters erforderliche Eingriff des Wiederverschlusses 9 erfolgt über ein Schraubgewinde 19, das zwischen dem Entleerungsstut- zen 4 und der Innenkappe 20 des Wiederverschlusses 9 vorgesehen ist. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass zwischen dem vorderen Behälterbereich 1 und dem Wiederverschluss 9 auch andere Eingriffsmittel oder Rastmittel vorgesehen sein können, um den Wiederverschluss erneut am Behälter zu sichern.The reclosure 9 engages to reclose the container by means of a screw thread 19 which is located between the emptying tube. zen 4 and the inner cap 20 of the reclosure 9 is provided. However, it goes without saying that other engagement means or latching means can also be provided between the front container area 1 and the reclosure 9 in order to secure the reclosure on the container again.
Nach aussen ist der Wiederverschluss 9 in Abstand von der Innenkappe 20 mit einer axiale Griffrippen 21 aufweisenden Griffwand 22 versehen, die sich in Fortsetzung des Behältermantels erstreckt. Aufgrund ihres gegenüber der Innenkappe 20 wesentlichen grösseren Durchmessers kann sie von einer Hand umschlossen werden, so dass die zum Erstöffnen und Zerstören der Solltrennstege 11 erforderliche Kraft leicht aufgebracht werden kann.To the outside, the reclosure 9 is provided at a distance from the inner cap 20 with an axial grip ribs 21 having a grip wall 22 which extends in continuation of the container shell. Because of its substantially larger diameter than the inner cap 20, it can be enclosed by one hand, so that the force required to open and destroy the predetermined separating webs 11 can be easily applied.
Die Herstellung des vorderen Behälterbereichs 1 erfolgt durch ein in üblicher Weise ausgeführtes Formwerkzeug entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 4, so dass es durch Einspritzen von Kunststoff in den Formhohlraum zwischen dem einteiligen inneren Formteil (Formkern) 23 und zwei backenartig auseinander bewegbaren äusseren Formteilen 24,25 ausgeformt wird. Nach Öffnen und damit Entfernen der äusseren Formteiie 24,25 in Richtung der Pfeile 26,27 wird zur Anformung des Wiederverschlusses 9 ein einteiliger äusserer Formteil 28 in axialer Richtung über den zuvor hergestellten vorderen Behälterbereich 1 geschoben, so dass zwischen seiner formgebenden Innenwand 29 und dem vorderen Behälterbereich 1 ein geschlossener Formraum für die Ausbildung und Anformung des Wiederverschlusses (9) gebildet wird.The front container region 1 is produced by a molding tool which is carried out in a customary manner, as shown in FIG. 4, so that it is injected with plastic into the mold cavity between the one-piece inner molded part (mold core) 23 and two outer molded parts 24 which can be moved apart like a jaw. 25 is formed. After opening and thus removing the outer molded parts 24, 25 in the direction of the arrows 26, 27, a one-piece outer molded part 28 is pushed in the axial direction over the previously produced front container region 1 so that the reclosure 9 is formed, so that between its shaping inner wall 29 and the front container area 1, a closed mold space for the formation and molding of the reclosure (9) is formed.
Damit der im Formwerkzeug 28 an den vorderen Behälterbereich 1 angeformte Wiederverschluss nicht an diesem derart anhaftet, so dass sein leichtes Öffnen verhindert wird, besteht dieser aus einem anderen, an ersterem gleitfähigen Material. Eine hierzu beispielsweise geeignete Materialkomposition besteht aus Polyethylen und Polypropylen. So that the reclosure formed on the front container region 1 in the molding tool 28 does not adhere to the front container region 1 in such a way that its easy opening is prevented, the latter consists of a different material that is slidable on the former. A suitable material composition, for example, consists of polyethylene and polypropylene.
