Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for bulk material.
  • packages for bulk material consist mainly of flexible or rigid materials, such as paper, paperboard, cardboard or plastic, in which corresponding bulk material can be filled.
  • the packages are sealed after filling and are then ready for despatch and/or sale.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of providing a package which overcomes the disadvantages of the state of the art.
  • it is intended to provide a package which makes it possible to open the package easily and in particular to dispense bulk material easily and to meter it accurately when it is dispensed.
  • a package for bulk material with a pouring opening to which a tubular, flexible attachment is joined, which protrudes outwards and which, in the state in which it is supplied to the consumer, lies flat against the package in a folded configuration and/or is held within the package and can be unfolded before use into its tubular, flexible configuration.
  • the bulk material comprises granules and/or powder.
  • the package can preferably be made from flexible and/or rigid material, and the material can be selected from paper, paperboard, cardboard, plastic or composite materials.
  • tubular attachment should be made of flexible plastics material, preferably polyethylene.
  • the tubular attachment is sealed at its distal end, and it may be possible to open the tubular attachment in the region of the distal end by means of a perforated seam.
  • the pouring opening should be covered by a removable label.
  • proximal end of the tubular attachment should be fixed to the package, preferably stuck, sealed or welded around the pouring opening on the inside of the package.
  • the tubular attachment In the state in which it is supplied to the consumer, the tubular attachment can be folded, rolled up or pressed together.
  • the pouring opening is disposed in the lower region of the package, preferably on a side wall close to the bottom of the package, particularly preferably at a height of less than a quarter of the total height of the package.
  • the pouring opening should be disposed centrally on a side wall. It goes without saying that it may also be provided that the pouring opening is disposed to the left and right of the centre, such as in the respective corners of the side wall.
  • the tubular attachment is preferably about 1 to 10 centimetres, preferably 3 to 7 centimetres, in diameter. It is also proposed that the package should comprise mounting means for mounting the unfolded attachment to the package after use, where the mounting means can be an adhesive strip, glue or a Velcro fastener.
  • the tubular attachment is preferably from 0 to 30 cm long, preferably 1 to 30 cm, more preferably 5 to 30 cm.
  • the present invention provides a package with which bulk material can be dispensed from a package in a simple manner, permitting extremely accurate metering and targeting accuracy when pouring the bulk material into a vessel.
  • This is achieved by providing a tubular, flexible attachment which protrudes outwards, and which is preferably disposed in the lower region of the package, and through which the bulk material can be metered without great effort and dispensed accurately.
  • the tubular attachment lies flat against the package in a folded configuration and/or is held within the package.
  • the pouring opening, to which the tubular attachment is attached in the state in which it is supplied to the consumer is preferably sealed by a label. After the label is removed the consumer can unfold the tubular attachment in order to use the package and open the preferably sealed attachment, such as by tearing open a perforated seam at the distal end of the tubular attachment.
  • the flexible tubular attachment After a desired amount of bulk material has been dispensed through the flexible tubular attachment, it can be raised in such a way that it is not possible to dispense further bulk material. Any bulk material still contained in the tubular attachment is either still dispensed or returned to the package. In order to store the package, the emptied tubular attachment can either be fixed to the outside of the package or folded together again, so as to prevent any more bulk material from being dispensed.
  • the bulk material contained in the package of the invention can take a wide variety of forms. There may, for example, be powders or granules contained in the package, such as cat litter, dry food for pets, rice, etc. Other features and advantages of the package of the invention will become clear from the detailed description of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the enclosed Figures, in which
  • Figure 1 shows a package in accordance with the invention, in the state in which it is supplied to the consumer, with a label
  • Figure 2 shows the package of Figure 1 in accordance with the invention, without a label
  • Figure 3 shows the package with the unfolded tube and with the distal end sealed
  • Figure 4 shows the package with the tube opened, via which bulk material is dispensed
  • Figure 5 shows the package with the tube after the dispensing of bulk material has finished
  • Figure 6 shows the package after the bulk material has been completely dispensed from an emptied tubular attachment joined thereto.
  • Figure 1 shows a package 1 in accordance with the invention, in the state in which it is supplied to the consumer, in which a pouring opening 2 (see Figure 2) is covered with a label 3, which can easily be removed from the package or simply torn open.
  • Figure 2 shows the package 1 according to Figure 1 , in which the label 3 has been removed and the pouring opening 2 can now be recognised, to or in which a tubular, flexible attachment 4 is disposed in a folded configuration.
  • this tubular attachment 4 can, for example, be folded together, rolled up or pressed together
  • the tubular attachment 4 is unfolded, at. is shown in Figure 3.
  • the tubular attachment 4, in the state in which it is supplied to the consumer, has a sealed distal end 5 which can easily be opened by the consumer.
  • the distal end 5 can preferably have a perforated seam, at which it can be opened with no difficulty by tearing.
  • the distal end 5 of the tubular attachment 4 can, however, also be simply cut open with scissors, as is shown in Figure 3. After the distal end 5 has been opened, bulk material 6 can be dispensed from the package in a simple and metered manner via the tubular attachment 4, as is shown in Figure 4.
  • the tubular attachment 4 can be raised in order to finish dispensing, so that continued dispensing is terminated. Raising in this way has the further effect that any bulk material 6 still present in the tubular attachment 4 can be returned to the package 1 , so that the tubular attachment 4 is finally free of any bulk material 6. This is shown in Figure 5.
  • the emptied tubular attachment 4 can, for example, be attached to the outside of the package 1 in its unfolded form, such as by means of an adhesive label 7, as is shown in Figure 6. It is conceivable that the label 3 has adhesive properties and can be employed to fix the tubular attachment 4 after use. On the other hand, it is also possible that the tubular attachment 4 is folded together again and placed in the exit aperture 2, in order to prevent more bulk material 6 from being dispensed. The package 1 can then be stored ready to be used again.
