Description

Conical packaging with improved tear opening

description

The present invention relates to conical packaging, in particular tapered packaging, preferably for foodstuffs such as ice cream in waffles and the like, having a packaging wall tapering from an axial discharge end along a packaging axis, the packaging wall providing a tear-open aid with a first material weakening of the packaging wall material and having a second material weakening spaced from the first weakening of the material such that the first and second weakenings of material define a tear strip therebetween.

A generic packaging is known from EP 0 226 958 A. In the known bag-shaped pointed cone-shaped packaging, a perforation defined by two substantially parallel circumferential perforations around the packaging axis is formed as a tear strip defined as the material weakenings which can be completely torn away from the conically tapered packaging wall in an axial center region of the packaging, so that after complete tearing off of the package Tear strip a frusto-conical upper packaging part and a by the width of the tear strip of this spaced-apart conical lower packaging part remains.

A disadvantage of the known packaging is that the upper packaging part, which usually has to be removed in such packaging in order to get to the packaged goods, even after the tearing of the tear strip on the packaged contents remains. Since this upper packing portion is itself frusto-conical in shape and tapers off from the largest packaging cross-section along the packaging axis, it is not readily accessible along the packaging axis. Packing axis of the packaged, usually also conical Good strip and must itself in turn by further opening actions are removed consuming.

EP 1 484 251 A discloses a tapered packaging in which a cutting line running around the packaging axis in the circumferential direction is provided, along which an upper packaging part, which encompasses the region of larger packaging cross sections, is unwound in the circumferential direction and torn off by a lower conical packaging part can.

A similar tapered packaging is known from DE 100 56 811 A. In this a tear line is introduced by laser processing in the circumferential direction around the packaging axis in the packaging, so again with the help of a tear tab on the peripheral edge of the conical packaging formed by winding an upper, so larger packaging sections associated portion of the packaging by unwinding around the packaging axis of a lower Packaging part can be separated.

Reference is further made to US Pat. No. 4,657,142 A, which shows a conical packaging in which, similar to the aforementioned generic EP 0 226 958 A, a tear strip defined by two essentially parallel weakenings of material is provided circumferentially around the packaging axis, wherein after removal of which two spaced Teilverpackungswandungen remain on the packaged Good.

Starting from the above-described prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a conical packaging of the type mentioned, which can be opened more easily than the packaging of the prior art. This object is achieved in that in a package of the type mentioned the tear strip starting from the discharge end of the package with a tear component in the direction of the packaging axis and ends in a Axialmittelbereich the package.

With the conical packaging according to the invention, it is possible, starting from the axial removal end by removing the tear strip along the two material weaknesses defining it to create an outgoing from the Axialmittelbereichs removal end, ie the end of the largest packaging cross section of the conical packaging, outgoing gap, which is also in the direction the packaging axis extends into the Axialmittelbereich inside.

Characterized in that the tear strip approximately in the Axialmittelbereich the package, ie in a axial packaging ends including the withdrawal excludes symmetrically about the axial center of the package extending range of about 15-85% of the packaging height, preferably 30-70% of the packaging height particularly preferred 40-60% of the packaging height ends, a material context of the conical packaging may initially remain when opening, ie the tear strip is actuated without the packaging breaking up into several pieces.

Then, starting from the gap formed by the tear strip, the axial opening area of the package, ie the axial region along which the tear strip has extended, extends along an imaginary peripheral groove connecting the removal ends of the tear strip and the nip generated by the tear strip, respectively be folded so that the hand of a person holding the conical package at its gap-free axial portion, the still intact gap-free axial portion of the conical packaging can grip while the hand radially outward of the folded packaging material surrounded like a cuff, so that the hand, as in the case of packaged wafers, is protected by the folded packaging part from contamination by melting ice cream.

In the present application, the term "removal end" designates the longitudinal end of the conical packaging with the larger packaging cross section In principle, it is conceivable that the packaged product can be removed from this end through an opening in the conical packaging, even though the rule is that described above in that the material context of the packaging is at least partially destroyed and the contents of the package are exposed by forming or even partially removing the packaging wall.

If it is desired to completely remove the tear strip from the packaging according to the invention, it may be provided to facilitate this removal that the package has a third material weakening in the axial center region, which extends substantially in the circumferential direction or at least in a circumferential direction Component runs around the packaging axis. In this case, the third material weakening may preferably define a longitudinal end of the tear strip remote from the removal end of the packaging.

In order to facilitate the folding over of the opening region of the packaging, which is altered by the tearing of the tear strip and the formation of a gap, it can be provided that the dimension of the third material weakening in the circumferential direction is greater than the width of the tear strip in the circumferential direction.

In order to further facilitate the folding over of the packaging opening region which has been changed by the formation of a gap by means of the tear strip, provision can be made for the third material weakening to run around the packaging, preferably to circulate closed. In this case, the third material weakening, as known for example from EP 1 484 251 A, the Help consumers to fold the gap-prone opening portion of the package not only to the third material weakening to a cuff, but tear off from the axially adjacent intact gap-free packaging section.

The complete tear-off of the tear strip from the packaging can in other words also be ensured by the tear-off strip located at least in sections, preferably with its longitudinal end region remote from the removal end, particularly preferably completely in the circumferential extension region of the third material weakening. Then, the third material weakening may form a tear in the width direction of the tear strip breaking point of the tear strip.

While prior art tear strips typically range from peripheral edge to peripheral edge of the piece of material forming the package, the tear strip of the package of the present invention begins at the axial withdrawal end, i.e. an axial edge of the package, and preferably does not terminate at a peripheral edge or edge Rather, the complete removal of the tear strip can be ensured by its ending at the third material weakening with its longitudinal end remote from the removal end, ie the tear strip can first move along the first material weave and the second material weakening and then torn off along the third Materialschwächuπg.

A particularly advantageous opening behavior of the packaging according to the invention can be achieved in that the first and the second material weakening are of different lengths. Thus, the prerequisite is created that the tear strip is first torn open along its extension direction and thus on the axial section with larger packaging cross sections, a gap extending in the axial direction is generated, wherein the tear strip due to kurzereπ training one of the two weakening material with the gap-prone opening portion of the packaging in material context remains.

Then, when a material weakening of first and second weakening of material extends to and preferably ends at the third weakening, and if the other weakening is shorter than the weakening of material and ends away from the third weakening, the tear strip may be initially along its direction of extension was separated from the rest of the packaging, continue to be used to initiate a crack in the packaging along the third material weakening in the material connection with the then gap-prone opening region of the packaging and thus to separate the gap-prone opening region of the packaging from the axially adjacent intact gap-free packaging section. so that the packaging substantially with a single continuous movement, preferably initially primarily predominantly axial movement component and then with predominantly extending in the circumferential direction movement component , can be opened easily and an intact packaging section remains in the consumer's hand, while as packaging waste a coherent piece is obtained, which can be easily disposed of.

It can further be thought that the tear strip extends not only in the axial direction along the packaging axis, but that adjoins a tear strip portion extending substantially in the circumferential direction at least in the axial direction, preferably integrally connected.

For this purpose, it may be provided that the conical packaging of the present invention comprises a fourth material weakening, which starting from the longitudinal end of the respective other shorter Materiaischwächung from the first and the second material weakening, preferably parallel to the third material weakening, extends substantially in the circumferential direction, preferably rotates.

To facilitate gripping the tear strip, the conical

Packaging be further developed such that at the closer to the removal end longitudinal end of the tear strip a gripping tab is provided which projects beyond an edge of the package, preferably the axial edge of the package at the removal end.

A rupture with a tear force that is as constant as possible can advantageously be generated by the first and the second material weakening being parallel, at least in sections, preferably completely.

Basically, it is an object of the present invention to provide the tear strip an opening portion of the package in the region of larger packaging cross sections, in which the package has a running at least in the axial direction gap and an axially, ie in the direction of the packaging axis, adjacent intact packaging section in the area smaller packaging cross-sections to preserve in which the gap formed by the tear strip does not extend into it.

For this purpose, it may be provided that the first and the second material weakening run in a direction of weakening, which has a component in the direction of the packaging axis. In the simplest case, both the first and the second material weakening lie in a common plane with the packaging axis. The result of this is a substantially straight and therefore as short as possible along the packaging axis of the removal end away tapering tear strip, which has no other course component than an axial component on the conical packaging wall. However, it can also be thought to increase the tear strip formed by the split surface to allow the tear strip to extend approximately helically. For this purpose, or for other courses of the tear strip, it can be provided that the first and the second material weakening run in a course, which has both a component in the direction of the packaging axis and a component in the circumferential direction.

Furthermore, it can be thought that the tear strip extends at least in sections, preferably over its entire length, meandering.

In principle, it can be thought that the packaging wall material in the region of the discharge end of the package has such a large packaging surplus that thus the opening cross section of the conical packaging can be closed like a lid.

For the filling and opening of the packaging, however, it has proved to be more advantageous if the conical packaging comprises a lid which is formed separately from the conical packaging wall and which is held on the packaging wall. Preferably, the lid is positively held on the packaging wall, such as by crimping the packaging at the discharge end of the package radially inward, ie on the packaging axis, whereby the fold formed on the lid comes to rest and thus prevents lifting of the lid.

In order to produce a cost-effective packaging, the packaging wall material may comprise a paper layer. Paper layers have the advantage of low restoring forces after their forming.

This paper layer may have the above-mentioned material weakenings. For better protection of the packaging contents from external influences, it may be provided that the packaging wall material comprises a laminate of at least two layers. It can be thought that only a part of the layers of the laminate has the above-mentioned material weakenings, so that at least one laminate layer is substantially intact and unimpaired.

For example, for better shelf-life of foods, which are preferably packaged in the conical packages described herein, the laminate may comprise a barrier layer. Suitable barrier layers include metal layers, in particular metallized layers, such as an aluminum layer, metal oxide layers, such as an aluminum oxide layer or a silicon oxide layer, or also an ethylvinyl alcohol layer. Preferably, the barrier layer is free of material weakening, so as not to impair its barrier function. Preferably, the barrier layer is vapor-deposited on a carrier layer.

In order to impart stability to the conical packaging and / or to improve its hygienic properties, the laminate may comprise a plastic layer, wherein preferably at least one plastic layer of the laminate has material weakenings. Plastic layers are particularly easy to provide with material weakenings, such as laser processing. As material for the at least one plastic layer is polypropylene or / and polyethylene and / or PLA (polylactic acid) or / and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in question.

If the laminate, as in a preferred embodiment, has a paper layer, a plastic layer and a metallization layer applied to the plastic layer, then it is sufficient for correct tearing of the Aufreßstreifens and optionally for initiating further desired cracks, if only the plastic layer Has material weakening. In addition, the paper layer may also exhibit material weakenings.

As material weakening, for example, a material thin point is considered, as it can be produced by embossing.

In particular, but not only when the packaging wall material is a laminate, the weakening of the material may also be a discontinuity of material, such as a perforation. It is usually sufficient if one of several layers is perforated, or it is advantageous if at least one layer, particularly preferably the above-mentioned barrier layer, is free of material weakenings.

Also, it may be thought to use for cracking plastic layers with stretched in one direction plastic.

Preferably, the package includes tearing open at the removal end, such as in the form of notches, which is provided to facilitate the initiation of crack initiation at the entnehmendseitigeπ longitudinal ends of the first and the second material weakening.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments in the accompanying drawings. It shows:

Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of a laminate from which the packaging walls of Figures 1 to 6 may be formed.

Sn FIG. 1 is a packaging wall of a pointed conical packaging according to the invention, generally designated 10. The pointed conical packaging wall 10 extends along a packaging axis V and tapers from its removal end 10a having a large packaging cross-section with respect to the packaging axis V to a tip 10b at the longitudinal end of the packaging wall 10 which is axially opposite the removal end 10a.

The packaging formed from the packaging wall 10, which can be formed by crimping the axial edge 10c, after a previously not shown in FIG. 1 removal opening 12 a lid not shown in Figure 1 was inserted (see also Fig. 3), extends along the packaging axis V. over the height h. Symmetrically around the axial center of the package 10 at h / 2, an axial center area A ₁ which occupies approximately 70% of the total height h in the example shown in FIG. 1 extends.

Starting from the removal end 10a of the packaging wall 10, which is located outside the axial center region A, or also the packaging formed therefrom, a tear strip 14 extends on the conical surface Packaging wall 10 only in the axial direction in the Axialmittelbereich A of the packaging and ends there. The tear strip 14 is bounded in the circumferential direction U about the packaging axis V to one side of a first material weakening 16 and the other side of a second material weakening 18.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first and the second material weakenings 16 and 18 run essentially parallel to one another, so that the tear strip 14 has essentially the same width over its longitudinal extension. However, this does not have to be the case.

For easier gripping of the tear strip 14, a gripping tab 20 is preferably formed at its end closer to the removal end 10 a, which extends axially beyond the removal end 10 a of the packaging wall 10.

At its opposite, so far from the removal end 10a of the packaging wall 10 Längseπde the tear strip 14 can easily end in the material, d. H. it ends where the material weakenings 16 and 18 delimiting it in the circumferential direction U end.

In order to allow a complete tearing off of the tear strip 14 from the rest of the packaging wall 10, a third material weakening 22 extending in the circumferential direction U may be provided, at which the tear strip 14 preferably terminates. This means that the first and the second material weakening 16 and 18 extend in the shown embodiment to the third material weakening 22. The third material weakening 22 advantageously extends at least across the width of the tear strip 14, so that its tearing off along the third weakening of the material 22 can be ensured.

The axial extent of the tear strip 14 defines on the packaging wall 10 and thus on the packaging formed therefrom itself an opening portion 24 which extends in the axial direction, starting from the removal end 10a to the axial longitudinal end of the tear strip 14.

This opening region 24 is adjoined in the axial direction by a tear strip-free and thus gap-free packaging section 26, which remains essentially intact when the packaging is opened.

After the tearing strip 14 has been torn off, the packaging wall material of the opening region 24 can be folded around the third material weakening 22, which is advantageously closed in the circumferential direction U, according to the arrows M, so that the hand of a consumer can grip the intact packaging section 26 and radially outward is covered by the cuff-like folded opening region 24 of the packaging.

Thus, the hand of the consumer may be advantageously protected against dripping or precipitating melted ice cream, which is preferably packaged in the conical packings discussed herein.

Figure 2 shows the Verpackungswandung 10 in the settlement as a so-called flat blank.

Evident is formed on a peripheral edge 28 folding tab 30, with which the other, opposite peripheral edge 32 is brought to form a so-called "Lap-Seal" compound in overlap and then permanently connected to the folding tab 28.

The lap-seal connection can be seen in FIG. 1 in the interior of the packaging wall 10 immediately to the right of the packaging axis V.

The first to third material weakenings 16, 18 and 22 are preferably formed by perforation, as will be explained below in connection with Figure 7.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a conical packaging according to the invention.

FIG. 3, in which identical and functionally identical components and component sections are provided with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 and 2 but increased by the number 100, will only be described insofar as they differ from the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 different. Otherwise, to explain the figure 3 expressly made to the explanations of Figures 1 and 2.

On the right-hand side of FIG. 3, a complete embodiment of a package 132 according to the invention with fold folded radially inward can be seen at the removal end 110a of the packaging wall 110. The folded seam edge advantageously overlaps a cover 134, which covers the removal opening 112 of the package 132 or the packaging wall 110. As a result, the lid 134 is held on the packaging wall 110 in a form-fitting manner.

This type of attachment of a lid can be realized on all embodiments shown in the present application.

Furthermore, the third material weakening 122 in the region of the circumferential extent of the tear strip 114 may have a stepped shape, so that the same position of the remaining third material weakening 122 as in the first embodiment, the tear strip 114 has a greater axial length. As a result, the opening portion 124 of the package 132 is enlarged in the axial direction to the detriment of the tear stripe-free and gap-free packing portion 126.

Moreover, the second material weakening 118 can be axially aligned. going from the Entπahmeende 110a of the packaging be shorter than the first material weakening 116 so that it ends at an axial distance a before the third material weakening 122.

As a result, an opening in the opening area 124 of the package 132 can be created by tearing open the tear strip 114, as in the first embodiment of FIG. 1, but the tear strip 114 then remains in material connection with the remaining packaging material of the opening area 124 Consumption of the packaging 132 fewer items must be disposed of.

Furthermore, in an advantageous development of the present invention, parallel to the third material weakening 122, a fourth material weakening 136 may be provided, which preferably extends in the circumferential direction starting from the longitudinal end of the second material weakening 118 remote from the removal end 110a of the packaging 132 and which starts from the first material weakening 116 extends approximately in the same axial position also in the circumferential direction, but without passing through the tear strip 114. So the tear-off

20 strips 114 have a starting from the removal end 110a mainly in the axial direction extending axial portion 114a and in the region of its remote from the removal end 110a longitudinal end of the axial portion adjacent peripheral portion 114b, which extends predominantly in the circumferential direction.

25

Advantageously, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the third and the fourth material weakening 122 or 136 at least run from the first material weakening to the second weakening of the material around the packaging axis. The third material weakening 122 preferably runs closed around the packaging axis.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the planar raw material, which leads to the second embodiment of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the fourth material weakening 136 may also be omitted. In addition, the third material weakening 122 may extend only over part of the circumference of the packaging wall 110.

5

It should be added that also the third material weakening 22 of the first embodiment can extend only over part of the circumference of the packaging wall 10.

lo FIGS. 5 and 6 show a third and a fourth embodiment of a packaging wall of a packaging according to the invention.

Identical or functionally identical components as in the first embodiment i5 of Figure 1 are provided in the third and fourth embodiment of Figure 5 and 6, respectively, with the same reference numerals, but increased by the number 200 or 300th

The third and the fourth embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 are explained in the following only to the extent that they differ from the embodiment of FIG. 1, to the description of which reference is otherwise expressly made.

The packaging wall 210 of FIG. 5 corresponds substantially to the embodiment of FIG. 1, except that the tear strip 214 and, associated therewith, the first and second weakenings 216 and 218, respectively, may meander along the packaging axis V. As a result, the gap area in the opening area 224 of the packaging formed from the packaging wall 210 can be increased compared with the first embodiment of FIG. 1.

According to the fourth embodiment of the packaging wall 310 in Fig. 6, the tear strip 314 can be helically formed from the discharge end 310a of Figs Packaging or the packaging wall 310 extend to completely and closed circumferential third material weakening 322.

The third material weakening 222 of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 also runs completely and closed around the packaging axis V.

Furthermore, it may be thought to combine the embodiments of Figures 5 and 6 such that a tear strip, for example meandering along a helical line from the removal end of the package or the packaging wall in the axial center region of the package follows.

FIG. 7 shows by way of example a laminate with which the packaging walls of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 6 can be formed. This laminate 40 comprises, for example, a paper layer 42, on whose one side an aluminum layer 44 can be laminated as a barrier layer. This aluminum barrier layer 44 keeps gases such as oxygen and water vapor away from the interior of the conical packaging, so that foods located inside the conical packaging are longer lasting, as would be the case without a barrier layer.

On the side facing away from the paper layer 42 side of the aluminum layer 44, a film of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 46 may be laminated.

In the PET layer 46, a perforation 48 is preferably introduced by means of laser processing, which forms, for example, the first Materiaischwächung 16.

It is advantageous that the Materiaischwächung 16 is provided in the laminate 40 only in the plastic layer, more precisely PET layer 46, while above all the barrier layer 44 is intact and thus can fulfill their barrier function. Additionally or alternatively, the paper layer 42 may be provided with a material weakening.

However, especially in the case of the combination of paper, aluminum and PET shown in FIG. 7, it is sufficient, due to the stability of PET, to provide only the PET layer 46 with perforations 48. The so introduced perforations 48 act on the entire laminate rißführend so that a suitably introduced into the laminate 40 crack along the material weakenings 16, 18 and 22 is guided and propagates accordingly upon application of force.
