Abstract

The invention relates to a mulit-compartment packaging comprising a base part provided with at least two cups (11,12) which are used to receive the components, and a cover film which is connected to the base part. The components can be mixed together by exerting pressure on the connection area between the at least two cups which, as a result, becomes detached. The cover film is made of at least two films (20,30) having different structures. One section or one surface arranged above at least one cup (11) is covered by only one of the two films (20). Due to said selective covering of the base part and/or the components located in the two cups by the films adapted to the user profile of the compartments, the desired physical properties can be adjusted in a separate manner in relation to the density and/or light-impermability for the two cups.

Technischer HintergrundTechnical background
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mehrkammerverpackung mit einem Bodenteil mit mindestens zwei Näpfen zur Aufnahme der Komponenten, und einer Deckfo¬ lie, die mit dem Bodenteil verbunden ist, wobei der Verbindungsbereich zwi¬ schen den mindestens zwei Näpfen durch Druckausübung lösbar ist, um die Komponenten miteinander zu mischen.The invention relates to a multi-chamber packaging with a bottom part having at least two wells for receiving the components, and a Deckfo¬ lie, which is connected to the bottom part, wherein the connection area zwi¬ tween the at least two wells is releasable by applying pressure to the components together Mix.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Derartige Mehrkammerverpackungen sind in vielfältigen Ausführungen be- kannt, zum Beispiel zeigt die EP 1 021 356 der Anmelderin eine solche Ver¬ packung, bei der unterschiedliche Siegelstärken in dem Randbereich zwi¬ schen Deckfolie und Bodenteil einerseits und dem Verbindungsbereich (Steg) zwischen den Näpfen ausgebildet sind, um sicherzustellen, dass bei der Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen den beiden Kammern durch Auf- brechen des Stegs die randseitige Verbindung zwischen Bodenteil und Deckfolie erhalten bleibt.Such multi-chamber packages are known in various designs, for example EP 1 021 356 of the applicant shows such a package in which different sealing strengths are formed in the edge region between cover sheet and bottom part on the one hand and the connecting region (web) between the wells are to ensure that the edge-side connection between the bottom part and the cover foil is maintained when the connection between the two chambers is established by breaking the web.
Auch die WO84/02892 und die WO 02/38468 A1 zeigen ähnliche Lösungen.WO84 / 02892 and WO 02/38468 A1 also show similar solutions.
Der steigende Bedarf an derartigen Mehrkammerverpackungen zeigt, dass diese für eine Vielzahl von Produkten geeignet sind, beispielsweise aus dem medizinischen und dem kosmetischen Bereich, bei denen zwei getrennt zu haltende Komponenten erst kurz vor ihrem bestimmungsmäßigen Gebrauch zusammengeführt und gemischt werden dürfen.The increasing demand for such multi-compartment packages shows that they are suitable for a variety of products, for example in the medical and cosmetic sectors, where two components to be kept separate may only be brought together and mixed shortly before their intended use.
Hierbei sind die zur Mischung vorgesehenen Komponenten in ihrer chemi¬ schen und/oder physikalischen Beschaffenheit oft derart verschieden, dass dies zu unterschiedlichen produktspezifischen Ansprüchen an die physikali¬ schen Eigenschaften der verwendeten Packungsmaterialien, also beispiels¬ weise der Deckfolie, führt. Derartige Anforderungen können z.B. Gasdurch¬ lässigkeit/Gasundurchlässigkeit oder Lichtdurchlässigkeit sein.In this case, the components intended for mixing are often so different in their chemical and / or physical nature that This leads to different product-specific demands on the physical properties of the packing materials used, that is, for example, the cover film. Such requirements may be, for example, gas permeability / gas impermeability or light transmission.
Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, gattungsgemäße Mehrkammerverpak- kungen derart weiterzubilden, dass das "Bedarfsprofil" jeder Komponente hinsichtlich der sie umgebenden und abschließenden Bereiche der Mehr¬ kammerverpackung vor ihrer Mischung zuverlässig erfüllt wird, um auch bei längerer Lagerung und Transport die zuverlässige Qualität des Mischpro¬ duktes zu gewährleisten.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop generic Mehrkammerverpak- kungen so that the "demand profile" of each component with respect to the surrounding and final areas of Mehr¬ kammerverpackung before their mixture is reliably met to the reliable quality of the product even during prolonged storage and transport To ensure Mischpro¬ product.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Deckfolie aus zwei Folien unterschiedlicher Beschaffenheit gebildet ist, und dass ein Ab¬ schnitt oder eine Fläche über zumindest einem Napf nur von einer dieser beiden Folien überdeckt wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the cover film is formed from two films of different nature, and that a section or a surface over at least one cup is covered only by one of these two films.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, durch eine selektive Überdeckung des Bodenteils bzw. der in den beiden Näpfen befindlichen Komponenten mit den beiden auf das "Bedarfsprofil" abgestimmten Folien die gewünschten physikalischen Eigenschaften hinsichtlich Gasdichtheit und Lichtdurchlässigkeit für beide Näpfe separat "einzustellen".The basic idea of the invention can be seen in the fact that by selectively covering the bottom part or the components located in the two wells with the two films tailored to the "requirement profile", the desired physical properties with regard to gas tightness and light transmission for both wells can be set separately.
Es ergeben sich hierbei eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die in den Unteran¬ sprüchen im Einzelnen beschrieben sind:This results in a multiplicity of possibilities, which are described in detail in the subclaims:
So ist es zum Beispiel möglich, die dem Bodenteil und damit der jeweiligen Komponente zugewandte Folie der Deckfolie als Kunststofffolie zu wählen, die sich über die gesamte Oberfläche der Mehrkammerverpackung erstreckt und diejenigen Eigenschaften aufweist, die von einer der Komponenten ge- fordert werden, also z.B. eine Gasdurchlässigkeit in bestimmter Höhe, oder eine Lichtdurchlässigkeit bzw. Lichtundurchlässigkeit in einem bestimmten Maß.Thus, it is possible, for example, to choose the film of the cover film facing the bottom part and thus of the respective component as a plastic film which extends over the entire surface of the multi-chamber packaging and has the properties which are obtained from one of the components. be called, so for example, a gas permeability at a certain height, or a light transmittance or opacity in a certain extent.
Ist die Kunststofffolie beispielsweise durchsichtig, so kann durch eine Be¬ druckung mit einer bestimmten Farbe, die der Farbe des Gemisches nach dem Mischen der beiden Komponenten entspricht, erreicht werden, dass erst dann, wenn die Farbe des Gemischs und die Farbe der Bedruckung überein¬ stimmen, die Packung zur Entnahme des gemischten Endproduktes geöffnet wird, was eine zusätzliche Qualitätsgarantie darstellt.If, for example, the plastic film is translucent, printing by means of a specific color, which corresponds to the color of the mixture after mixing the two components, can achieve that only when the color of the mixture and the color of the printing match the package is opened to take the mixed end product, which is an additional quality guarantee.
Die zweite Folie, die auf der Kunststofffolie aufgesiegelt ist, ist insbesondere eine gasundurchlässige Folie, also eine sogenannte Hoch-Barrierefolie bei¬ spielsweise aus Aluminium, die keinerlei Austausch wie z.B. Wasserdampf mit der Umgebung gestattet. Diese Folie erstreckt sich über einen Napf, bei dessen Inhalt sichergestellt sein muss, dass kein Austausch von Gasen oder Flüssigkeiten durch die Folie erfolgt (in diesem Fall wird auch das Bodenteil aus einem entsprechend gasundurchlässigen Material, z.B. ebenfalls einer Aluminium-Folie, bestehen). Diese gasundurchlässige Folie der Deckfolie erstreckt sich zumindest über den Verbindungsbereich/den Steg zwischen den beiden Näpfen zur Aufnahme der beiden Komponenten.The second film, which is sealed onto the plastic film, is in particular a gas-impermeable film, that is to say a so-called high-barrier film, for example of aluminum, which does not exchange anything, such as e.g. Water vapor allowed with the environment. This film extends over a cup, the content of which must ensure that there is no exchange of gases or liquids through the film (in which case the bottom part will also be made of a suitably gas-impermeable material, for example also an aluminum foil). This gas-impermeable film of the cover film extends at least over the connecting region / the web between the two cups for receiving the two components.
Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, bei gleicher Anordnung die Kunst¬ stofffolie mit einer Einfärbung zu versehen, wenn das im betreffenden Napf befindliche Produkt empfindlich gegen eine hohe Lichtstärke oder einen be¬ stimmten Spektralbereich des Lichtes ist.Another possibility is to provide the Kunst¬ fabric film with a coloring when the same arrangement, if the product in the respective cup is sensitive to a high light intensity or a certain spectral range spectral range of the light.
Insbesondere besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, die von der Kunststofffolie zur Verfügung gestellte "Ausgasungsfläche" durch eine entsprechend anteili- ge Überdeckung mit der zweiten, gasundurchlässigen Folie einzustellen, in¬ dem diese Aussparungen beispielsweise in Form von mehr oder weniger großen Löchern aufweist, wodurch eine begrenzte Ausgasung ermöglicht wird.In particular, however, it is also possible to adjust the "outgassing surface" provided by the plastic film by a correspondingly proportionate covering with the second, gas-impermeable film, in which these recesses are for example in the form of more or less having large holes, whereby a limited outgassing is made possible.
In allen diesen Fällen kann durch produktspezifische Wahl der beiden Folien und deren individuelle Überdeckung der beiden Näpfe erreicht werden, dass die Komponenten entsprechend ihrer physikalisch/chemischen Beschaffen¬ heit optimal gelagert werden.In all these cases can be achieved by product-specific choice of the two films and their individual coverage of the two cups that the components are optimally stored according to their physical / chemical Beschaffen¬.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments
Die in Figur 1 und 2 dargestellte Mehrkammerverpackung besteht aus einem Bodenteil 10, beispielsweise einer Alu-Tiefziehfolie, in der in bekannter Wie- se zwei Näpfe 11 und 12 zur Aufnahme von Komponenten P1 und P2 gebil¬ det sind. Die Abdeckung und der Abschluss des Bodenteils 10 erfolgt durch eine aus zwei Folien 20 und 30 aufgebaute Deckfolie.The multichamber packaging shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a bottom part 10, for example an aluminum thermoforming foil, in which two wells 11 and 12 for receiving components P1 and P2 are formed in a known manner. The cover and the completion of the bottom part 10 is effected by a cover film constructed from two foils 20 and 30.
Die untere, den Näpfen 11 und 12 zugewandte Folie 20 ist beim dargestell- ten Ausführungsbeispiel eine lichtdurchlässige Kunststofffolie, die äußere zweite Folie 30 ist eine gasundurchlässige Alu-Folie oder ein in der Wir¬ kungsweise vergleichbares Material wie z.B. Siliziumoxid-Folie. Die Folie 30 erstreckt sich über den gesamten zweiten Napf 12 und den Steg S zwischen den beiden Näpfen 11 und 12, aber nur zu einem Teil über den ersten Napf 11.The lower, the wells 11 and 12 facing film 20 is in the illustrated embodiment, a translucent plastic film, the outer second film 30 is a gas-impermeable aluminum foil or a similar manner in Wir¬ material such as silica film. The film 30 extends over the entire second cup 12 and the web S between the two wells 11 and 12, but only in part via the first cup eleventh
Dies hat zur Folge, dass die vom Napf 12 und den beiden Folien 20 und 30 gebildete Aufnahmekammer für die erste Komponente P1 insgesamt gas¬ dicht abgeschlossen ist, wogegen die die zweite Komponente P 2 enthalten¬ de, vom Napf 11 und der Folie 20 gebildete Aufnahmekammer sowohl gas¬ durchlässig als auch lichtdurchlässig ist.This has the consequence that the receiving chamber formed by the cup 12 and the two films 20 and 30 for the first component P1 is completed gas¬ tight overall, whereas the second component P 2 contained de, formed by the cup 11 and the film 20 Receiving chamber is both gas permeable and translucent.
Die Kunststofffolie 20 weist in einem dem Napf 11 benachbarten Bereich ei¬ ne Druckmarke D auf, dessen Struktur und/oder Farbgebung so gewählt ist, dass er der Struktur/Farbgebung des aus den beiden Komponenten P1 ,P2 vollständig und korrekt gemischten Endproduktes entspricht.In a region adjacent to the cup 11, the plastic film 20 has a print mark D whose structure and / or coloring is chosen such that it corresponds to the structure / coloring of the end product completely and correctly mixed from the two components P1, P2.
Die beiden Folien 20 und 30 sind mit ihrem Rand R mit einer ersten Siegel¬ stärke auf dem Bodenteil 10 aufgesiegelt, mit einer zweiten, geringeren Sie¬ gelstärke im Bereich des Steges S, wie dies beispielsweise in der oben ge¬ nannten EP 1 021 356 beschrieben ist, so dass dies hier keiner weiteren Er- läuterung bedarf.The two foils 20 and 30 are sealed with their edge R with a first seal strength on the bottom part 10, with a second, lower thickness in the region of the web S, as in the above-mentioned EP 1 021 356 is described, so that this requires no further explanation.
Eine Druckausübung auf einen der beiden Näpfe 11 oder 12 (Figur 2) hat somit zur Folge, dass der Schwachsiegelbereich im Bereich des Steges auf¬ bricht und die beiden Komponenten P1 und P2 beispielsweise durch Biege- oder Walkbewegungen miteinander gemischt werden können und sich dabei über beide Näpfe 11 und 12 gleichmäßig verteilen (in Figur 2 ist der Beginn dieses Mischvorgangs angedeutet).A pressure exerted on one of the two cups 11 or 12 (Figure 2) thus has the consequence that the weak seal area in the region of the web auf¬ breaks and the two components P1 and P2 can be mixed, for example by bending or flexing movements with each other and over both cups 11 and 12 evenly distributed (in Figure 2, the beginning of this mixing process is indicated).
Sobald eine homogene Mischung erreicht ist, kann der Benutzer dies durch Vergleich von Farbe und Struktur im Napf 11 mit Farbe und Struktur derOnce a homogeneous mixture is achieved, the user can do this by comparing the color and texture in the bowl 11 with the color and texture of the bowl
Druckmarke D erkennen und dann durch geeignete Maßnahmen (die . hier nicht separat dargestellt sind), z.B. Aufreißlaschen, Perforationen oder ähnli- ches, die Mehrkammetverpackung in ihrem Randbereich R öffnen und das gemischte Endprodukt entnehmen.Detect print mark D and then by suitable measures (which are not shown separately here), eg tear tabs, perforations or similar open the multi-chambered packaging in its edge area R and remove the mixed final product.
Die Herstellung der Verpackung kann hierbei insbesondere in folgenden Schritten erfolgen:The production of the packaging can be carried out in particular in the following steps:
Die beiden Folien 20 und 30 werden von Walzen abgenommen und einander zugeführt, wobei vorher die Druckmarke D auf die Folie 20 aufgebracht wor¬ den ist.The two films 20 and 30 are removed from rolls and fed to each other, wherein previously the print mark D is applied to the film 20 is the wor¬.
Die beiden Folien 20 und 30 werden miteinander beispielsweise durch Ver¬ schweißen zumindest in ihren Randbereichen miteinander verbunden und dann auf das mit den Komponenten P1 , P2 befüllte Bodenteil 10 geführt, wo die oben beschriebene Peelsiegelung der Folie 20 auf dem Bodenteil 10 stattfindet, die die "Öffnungsfunktion" des Stegbereiches S gewährleistet.The two films 20 and 30 are joined together, for example, by welding, at least in their edge regions, and then guided to the bottom part 10 filled with the components P1, P2, where the above-described peel-sealing of the film 20 takes place on the bottom part 10, which takes place "Opening function" of the web area S guaranteed.
Figur 3A und 3B zeigen zwei weitere Ausführungsbeispiele in Aufsicht, wobei die äußere Folie 30, die hier ebenfalls eine gasundurchlässige Aluminiumfo¬ lie sein kann, über Ausstanzungen 3OA in Form von Kreisflächen verfügt, so dass "Fenster" zur darunter liegenden Folie 20 übrig bleiben, die hier bei¬ spielsweise eingefärbt sein kann. Eine derartige Variante kann Anwendung finden, wenn die im Napf 11 befindliche Komponente P2 eine gewisse Gas¬ durchlässigkeit erfordert, aber gegen starke Lichteinwirkung geschützt wer¬ den muss.FIGS. 3A and 3B show two further exemplary embodiments in a plan view, wherein the outer film 30, which here likewise may be a gas-impermeable aluminum foil, has punched-out areas 30A in the form of circular areas, so that "windows" are left over to the underlying film 20, which may be colored here, for example. Such a variant can be used when the component P2 in the cup 11 requires a certain gas permeability, but must be protected against strong exposure to light.
Bei dem in Figur 3B dargestellten dritten Ausführungsbeispiel sind drei Näpfe 11 ,12,13 vorgesehen, wobei Aussparungen 3OB über dem zweiten Napf 12 und eine Aussparung 3OC in Form einer freigelassenen Ecke vorgesehen sind, in deren Bereich wiederum beispielsweise auch ein (nicht dargestellter) Aufdruck auf der Kunststofffolie 20 vorgenommen sein kann. Die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele sind hinsichtlich der Wahl und des Zuschnittes der beiden Folien insofern nur als Beispiele gedacht, als dass hieraus klar wird, dass je nach Anforderungen der beiden Komponenten P1 , P2 durch eine Kombination zweier geeigneter Folien 20 und 30 eine zuver- lässige Mischqualität des Endproduktes erreicht werden kann.In the third embodiment shown in Figure 3B three wells 11, 12,13 are provided, with recesses 3OB are provided on the second cup 12 and a recess 3OC in the form of a released corner, in whose area in turn, for example, also a (not shown) imprint may be made on the plastic film 20. With regard to the choice and the cutting of the two foils, the illustrated exemplary embodiments are intended only as examples insofar as it becomes clear that, depending on the requirements of the two components P1, P2, a combination of two suitable foils 20 and 30 ensures a reliable mixing quality of the End product can be achieved.
Figur 4 zeigt drei Beispiele zum Aktivierungsschutz der Mehrkammerverpak- kung; alle Beispiele zielen darauf, eine unbeabsichtigte Öffnung des Stegs S zwischen den Näpfen 11 und 12 und somit die Aktivierung des Komponen- tensystems, durch Umfalten der Mehrkammerverpackung um 180° zu blok- kieren:FIG. 4 shows three examples for the activation protection of the multi-chamber package; all examples aim to block unintentional opening of the web S between the cups 11 and 12 and thus the activation of the component system by folding over the multi-chamber package by 180 °:
Entweder durch Einschieben in eine Umverpackung, beispielsweise eine Faltschachtel 40 (Figur 4A), oder durch ein Haftetikett 41 (Figur 4B), oder durch Stanzen von Linien 42A oder 42B.42C in den gegenüberliegenden Endbereichen zur Erzeugung von ineinander greifenden Rastlaschen (Figur 4C, 4D). Either by insertion into an outer packaging, for example a folding box 40 (FIG. 4A), or by an adhesive label 41 (FIG. 4B), or by punching lines 42A or 42B.42C in the opposite end regions to produce interlocking locking tabs (FIG. 4C, FIG. 4D).
