Description

CAPACITY AND LID FOR PACKING TWO COMPONENTS

The group of inventions relates to the field of developing containers for bottling drinks, for storing and packaging two components of different composition, for example liquid and / or solid substance in the form of a granular substance or mixture, which are mixed before use, which is used for food, cosmetic, chemical, pharmacological, medical industry and veterinary medicine.

A known container for storing two components (see UA 50121, IPC ⁷ B65D81 / 32, B65D1 / 04, publ. 05.25.2010), which contains a body with a neck, an annular waist is made on the body, and the diameter of the annular waist is less than the diameter of the neck, in The annular constriction of the container has a dividing element in the form of a ring on which a membrane is mounted that separates the components located in the upper and lower cavities, and a plugging element is installed on the neck. The integrity of the separation element, that is, the membrane is destroyed after opening the sealing element with an external device, such as a blade.

The destruction of the separating element - the membrane is also possible by a pressure drop in one of the cavities of the tank by strong compression of one of the cavities of the tank. But not every consumer will be able to provide the desired dosed pressure, taking into account the elasticity and stability of the material itself and the shape of the container. In another case, overcoming the elasticity and stability of the material and the shape of the container, strong compression by the consumer leads to irreversible deformation and destruction of the container, damage to its appearance and product. In this case, an unpleasant crunch of deformed plastic occurs. All this prevents the use of such containers for storing two components by destroying the separation element by compression and subsequent mixing of the two components before consuming the contents of the container.

Closest to the claimed invention is a "Capacity for packaging two components" (see UA 50122, IPC ⁷ B65D81 / 32, B65D1 / 04, publ. 05/25/2010), which contains a body with a neck, a ring waist is made on the body, which separates the container into the lower and upper cavities, and the diameter of the annular waist is less than the diameter of the neck, a ring is mounted in the annular waist of the tank on which the membrane is mounted, which separate the components located in the upper and lower cavities, and the internal mechanism of membrane rupture is installed on the neck and clogging element. The integrity of the separation element, that is, the membrane is destroyed by pressing the cover, which leads to the displacement of the mechanism of rupture of the membrane in the upper cavity and contact destruction of the membrane.

The destruction of the separating element - the membrane is also possible by a pressure drop in one of the cavities by strong compression of one of the cavities of the tank. But, not every consumer will be able to provide the necessary pressure by hand, taking into account the elasticity and resistance of the material itself and the shape of the container. In another case, hard pressing leads to irreversible deformation and destruction of the tank, damage to its appearance. In this case, an unpleasant crunch of deformed plastic occurs. All this prevents the use of such containers for packaging two components by non-contact destruction of the separation element by pressure and subsequent mixing of the two components before using the contents of the container.

It is known "SEAL FOR A CONTAINER WITH FLEXIBLE CENTRAL PANEL" (see RU 2265564, IPC ⁷ B65D41 / 22, publ. 10.12.2005), which contains two fastened elements - a rigid peripheral mounted ring and a flexible central panel, which in turn is made with the possibility of lateral bending and contains a disk and concentric waves around the disk. This design bends into the interior of the container due to a change in the free space under the seal and the release of air through the weak connection of the seal to the container.

But it is impossible to use such a seal as an element for creating a metered pressure in the upper cavity of the container for storing or packaging two components, which contains a separation element installed in the annular waist of the container, sufficient to destroy the separation element. This is due to the weak connection of the seal with the container or container and the presence of several composed elements, which leads to the destruction of the seal itself and marriage in the product.

Closest to the proposed invention is a lid that contains a cylindrical body with an internal thread, a bottom, on which the central panel and a half-wave are located around the central panel with an influx on one side (see the article "Separate packaging for drinks", Packaging N ° 1, 2010 , Kiev, Ukraine, pp. 30-32). This lid is used in a separate packaging for drinks, which contains a body with a neck, an annular constriction is made on the body, which divides the container into lower and upper cavities, moreover, the diameter of the annular constriction is less than the diameter of the neck, a dividing element in the form of a membrane, which separates the components located in the upper and lower cavities of the tank and is mounted on the lower part of the upper cavity, and a lid with a spatula is installed on the neck. The integrity of the separation element, that is, the membrane is destroyed when you press the cover, which leads to the arc movement of the scapula in the upper cavity and destruction of the membrane due to sagging on the cover.

But it is impossible to use such a cover as an element for creating a metered pressure to destroy the separation element in the upper cavity of a separate beverage packaging. This is due to the limited movement of the center panel.

The objective of the group of inventions is to develop a container for packing two components and a cover for such a container that would ensure the creation of a metered pressure drop in one of the cavities of the container for contactless destruction of the separation element and without irreversible deformation and destruction of the container itself, the cover and the connection of the cover with the container, damage their appearance and product by providing the possibility of significant self-returning movement into the inside of the selected part of the surface of the container or lid due to the design su- changes.

An additional task is to provide the necessary and sufficient strength of the separation element for its guaranteed destruction by pressure drop and ensuring the shape of the gaps.

Also, an additional task is to provide protection against unauthorized use, tamper indicators and ease of destruction of protective elements.

The tasks are solved in that the container for packing two components contains a body with a neck, an annular waist is made on the body, which divides the body into lower and upper cavities, moreover, the diameter of the annular waist is less than the diameter of the neck, the ring with the membrane, which are installed in the annular waist and the components located in the upper and lower cavities are separated, and a plugging element is installed on the neck, in accordance with the invention, the body contains an element for creating a metered pressure in the form of a central Neli and waves, which are disposed around the central panel.

In addition, the element for creating a metered pressure is located either in the lower and / or upper cavity, and in the lower cavity it is located on the side surface or on the bottom.

The waves, which are located around the central panel, contain corrugation with ridges and depressions, and the waves contain ridges with a low profile. An additional problem is solved in that the membrane contains one layer and places of weakened strength in the form of cuts that are located on the upper and / or lower surface of the membrane.

An additional problem is solved in that the membrane contains two or more layers and places of weakened strength in the form of grooves or perforations, which are located either on the upper and / or lower layer of the membrane.

In addition, places of weakened strength have the form of an incomplete circle or mitral valve.

The problem is solved in that the lid for the container for packing two components, which contains a cylinder body with an internal thread and a bottom that contains a central panel, in accordance with a group of inventions, two or more half-waves are located around the central panel.

An additional problem is solved in that the cylinder body is made with places of weakened strength, in particular in the form of perforations or notches, and additional protective bridges are installed that are connected to the central panel and the bottom and are made with places of weakened strength, in particular perforations or notches. Also, a protective ring is additionally installed, which is connected to the central panel and the bottom and is made with places of weakened strength, in particular perforations or notches. Moreover, the protective ring contains a gripping eye.

The group of inventions is illustrated by drawings.

The inventive container for packing two components, shown in figure 1 has a neck 2, body 3, which is made in the form of an upper 4 and lower 5 cavities, separated by an ultra-deep ring constriction 6. The diameter of the annular constriction 6 is less than the diameter of the neck 2. The body 3 is from the bottom ends with a bottom 10. The separation element that separates the upper and lower cavities is represented by a ring 7 and a membrane 8. The dosed pressure generating element is represented by a central panel 11 and waves 12 around the central panel 11. The central panel Only 11, as well as waves 12 can be made in the form of a circle or an ellipse, not conventionally shown.

Filling the lower cavity 5 with the first component, installing the separation element (ring 7 and the membrane 8), filling the upper cavity 4 and installing the clogging element 9 is carried out on tanks processing machines in the traditional way, and the membrane 8 is installed on the ring 7, for example, by welding (thermal pressing) ), bonding, mechanical crimping / pinch. The closure element 9 is in the form of an upper membrane or a cover, or a cover is used simultaneously to protect the upper membrane, not shown conventionally.

Use a container for packing two components and a lid for such a container in this way.

A person of any age briefly presses the thumb to create a metered pressure element, that is, exerts a thumb force on the central panel 11 in direction A, FIG. 2. It is known that a person of any age can briefly press with his thumb up to 3 kg / cm ² , but on the area no more than the area of the fingertip. Under pressure, the central panel 11, using waves 12 in the form of ridges and depressions, smoothly moves into the interior of the cavity 5, compressing the first component, for example, liquid, and air. The compressed first component and air press on the membrane 8 of the separation element in the direction B. This leads to the rupture of the membrane 13 and the beginning of mixing the two components without contact with the external environment before use / use of the final prepared drink or mixture. At the same time, the container itself does not deform, the product does not deteriorate, and the container takes on its primary form when pressed. After mixing the two components with a slight shake or turning the container 1, open the clogging element 9 and use the finished product, such as a drink.

In addition, using waves that contain ridges with a low profile, not conventionally shown.

To ensure the necessary and sufficient strength of the separation element for its destruction by pressing on the membrane, places of weakened strength are performed. So, if a single-layer membrane is used, places of weakened strength are made in the form of cuts that are located on the upper and / or lower surface of the membrane. If a multilayer membrane is used, FIG. 4, places of weakened strength are made in the form of grooves or perforations that are located on the upper and / or lower, for example, metal layers of the membrane. Also, on the membrane, it is advisable to make places of weakened strength in the form of an incomplete circle 14, or mitral valve 15, FIG. 5.

The element for creating a metered pressure can also be located on the lateral surface of the body, for example, in the lower cavity, FIG. 3, or in the upper cavity, conditionally not shown.

The inventive lid for a container for packaging two components shown in FIG. 6 has a cylindrical body 16, the bottom of the cover 17, the central panel 19, waves 20, which are made in the form of ridges 22 and depressions 23 and are located around the central panel 19 and are connected to the bottom of the cover 17. A thread 18 is made on the inner surface of the cylindrical body.

The central panel 19 and the waves 20 around it form an element for creating a metered pressure. The central panel 19, as well as the waves 20 can be made in the form of a circle or an ellipse, not conventionally shown. by pressing the center panel 19 in the direction A, FIG. 7, it smoothly moves to a distance that is equal to the length of all ridges 22 and depressions 23. After relieving the pressure, the central panel 19 returns to its initial state, FIG. 1.

In order to indicate tampering and protection against unauthorized use, protective elements 24 of FIG. 8 in the form of protective jumpers 26 of FIG. 9, or the protective ring 27 of FIG. 10, which are connected to the central panel 19 and the bottom of the cover 17 in places of weakened strength 25, in particular with perforations or notches.

The removal of the protective ring 27 can be facilitated by the integrated gripping eye 28, FIG. 10, made in the form of a protrusion on the protective ring 27.

The use of a lid for a container for packaging two components is explained in FIG. 11. The integrity of the separation element, namely the membrane 8 is destroyed by creating a metered pressure, that is, the application of force with a finger on the central panel of the cover 19 in the direction A. The Central panel 19 with the help of waves 20 in the form of ridges 22 and troughs 23 smoothly moves into the inner space of the cavity 4, while compressing a component, such as a liquid. The compressed component presses on the membrane 8 of the separation element in the direction B. This leads to tearing of the membrane 13 and the beginning of mixing of the two components without contact with the external environment before consuming / using the final prepared drink or mixture. After mixing the two components with little shaking or turning the container 1 over, open the lid and use the finished product, such as a drink. At the same time, the lid itself does not deform, the product does not deteriorate, and the lid, at the end of pressing, takes its primary form.

Using the inventive container for packaging two components and a lid for such a container will reduce the number of complex parts, use traditional methods of manufacturing plastic containers by blowing from preforms and simplify production operations in the manufacture of such containers for packaging two components, reduce the time between operations, which can significantly increase the performance of machines that implement a method for processing containers.

The group of inventions also expands the range of containers and caps, which will expand the scope of containers and caps of this form.

The cost of such containers for packing two components and caps for such containers is almost the same as in traditional plastic and PET bottles and caps, which allows for a wide range of applications of the group of inventions in the production of beverages, medical, pharmaceutical and chemical preparations, in the cosmetic industry and veterinary medicine.
