Description

Collection packaging for hygienic tissues Description

The present invention relates to a collection packaging for sanitary towels, such as airtight wrapped wet wipes, wipes, towels or cotton swabs, for example, for household use, in

Cosmetic practices, in the industry and in medical practices and hospitals are determined. Such sanitary towels are typically stacked in the

Collective packaging arranged. The collective packaging has at least one resealable removal opening through which the sanitary towels can be grasped. The problem with such collective packaging that it is often not so easy to take the top cloth of the stack and through the

Remove removal opening. This is especially true if the

Hygienic towels are kept in a tightly folded stack in which the towels are flat. Often it is either more than a cloth grabbed or not even the top cloth safely seized. In many households, but especially in cosmetic practices, medical practices or hospitals, it is necessary to provide such hygienic towels easily removable individually. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a collective packaging for sanitary towels from which individual sanitary towels can be removed quickly and easily. This object is achieved by the collective packaging according to

Claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are

Subject of the dependent claims.

According to one aspect of the invention, a bulk packaging for

Sanitary towels provided, comprising a body which encloses an interior airtight, wherein in the interior sanitary towels are arranged ready for removal. Under arranged ready for removal

Hygienic towels are understood here and below that the

Hygienic towels are provided in a manner in the body, which allows a relatively simple and orderly removal of individual sanitary towels. Typically, such sanitary napkins are folded and stacked. The body furthermore has at least one removal opening which can be closed by a closure lid, the closure lid having on an inside an inner surface which faces the interior and in the closed state of the closure lid fills the closure opening, an adhesive element being arranged on the inner surface Exercise pressure to adhere to the sanitary napkins can be brought.

In this case, the exercise of a very slight pressure or contact is understood by an exertion of pressure, so that even a normal closing of the closure lid, in which the adhesive element is brought into contact with the uppermost sanitary towel, is sufficient for adhesion. The collective packaging has the advantage that, when the closure lid is reopened, at least one sanitary towel adheres to the adhesive element. If the sanitary napkins are stored vertically stacked in the body, only the uppermost sanitary towel adheres to the adhesive element. By opening the closure lid, the adhering towelette is pulled out a bit through the removal opening and can be easily grasped with the hands. The collective packaging thus has the advantage that it automatically provides at least one sanitary towel when opening the closure lid, which can be taken very easily.

The adhesive element can in particular be used as a hook element of a

Velcro fastener be formed. Such an adhesive element has the advantage that it is easy to produce, is permanently adhesive and adheres particularly well to nonwoven fabrics and / or wet wipes. Such nonwovens are typically made of synthetic fibers, but partly also made of cellulose fibers or mixtures and widely used as sanitary towels.

Alternatively, the adhesive element may also be formed as an adhesive surface.

For example, the adhesive surface may have a pressure-sensitive adhesive which is highly viscous and permanently tacky after application to the inner surface. Adhesive surfaces of this type are particularly advantageous when sanitary towels made from crepe materials or from other cellulosic materials with relatively smooth surfaces to which hook-and-loop hooks are difficult to adhere are used.

The areal extent of the adhesive element can be, for example, between 1 and 70% of the inner surface, in particular between 10 and 50% of the inner surface or between 10 and 30% of the inner surface. The plane

Expansion of the adhesive element depends, for example, on the adhesive effect achievable between the adhesive element and the hygiene tissues.

Typically, the areal extent should be relatively large if only a low adhesion per unit area between the

Adhesive element and the sanitary towels is achievable. Furthermore, the flat hangs Extension of which form has the applied adhesive element, since, for example, a rectangular adhesive element can fill an oval removal opening only incomplete. According to one embodiment, the body of the collective packaging is flexible and upsetting or creaseable. For example, the body may be formed of a plastic film. This has the advantage that the body can be compressed when the bulk packaging is emptied. In this way, the adhesive element is also at a teilentleerten

Collective packaging still easily with the hygiene towels in contact.

In one embodiment, the closure lid is formed of a flexible material and forms an adhesive seal with the body, i. the closure lid closes the removal opening in that an adhesive bond is formed between the closure lid and the body. For this purpose, in particular the part of the inside of the closure lid, which lies outside the inner surface, be provided with an adhesive which in the closed state of the collective packaging on the outside of the

Body adheres around the discharge opening.

This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the closure lid is designed as an "adhesive label." The following procedure is used to produce such collective packaging: A film from which the packaging is made is unrolled from a roll Foil is punched through in this area to 80-90%, then a self-adhesive label is glued over the planned removal opening, which is at least as large as the planned removal opening and coated with adhesive over its entire surface, after which the bulk packaging is produced from the foil and filled.

In this embodiment, the punched out film of the removal opening forms the closure lid together with the self-adhesive label. When first opening the bulk packaging by at least partial removal of the self-adhesive label, the pre-punched removal opening is fully opened.

In this procedure, the adhesive element can be applied, for example, before or after the pre-punching of the removal opening on the back of the film, so that it lies within the planned removal opening on the later inside of the bulk packaging.

According to one embodiment, the adhesive seal does not form a unitary surface with the adhesive element, but is separated from the adhesive element by a non-sticky surface and / or the adhesive element is made of a different material than an adhesive surface of the adhesive

Adhesive closure. According to one embodiment, the closure lid forms a

mechanical closure, for example, a snap closure. The closure lid can either directly with the body

form mechanical closure or the closure lid has at least two elements which together form a mechanical closure, wherein one of the elements is connected to the body, for example mechanically or by an adhesive bond.

A mechanical closure is particularly advantageous if the closure lid is not made of a flexible material such as

Plastic film is formed, but of a rigid material. In this case, the closure lid typically comprises an element which is fixedly connected to the body, and another element which is hinged to the first element and which can be latched to the first element. Typically, the procedure for producing such bulk packaging is as follows: a film from which the packaging is made is unwound from a roll. Then the planned

Pre-punched removal opening, ie the film is in this area to 80-90% punched through. Subsequently, a self-adhesive label is stuck over the planned removal opening. This is at most as large as the planned removal opening and fully coated with adhesive. Subsequently, the bulk packaging is produced from the film and filled.

In this embodiment, the punched out film of the removal opening together with the self-adhesive label at the first opening of the

Collective packaging removed and thrown away. Then the cap can be put on.

With this procedure, this can be applied directly to the later

Closing lid are applied.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by means of embodiments with reference to the attached schematic drawings. Show it:

Sanitary towels according to a second embodiment of the invention and

Figure 3: a perspective view of a collective packaging for

Sanitary towels according to a third embodiment of

Invention. The bulk packaging 1 according to FIG. 1 has a body 2 made of a flexible plastic film. The body 2 encloses an inner space 3, in which hygiene towels, not shown in FIG. 1, are arranged hermetically sealed. The sanitary towels are characterized by a removal opening 4 in the body 2 the interior 3 removed. The removal opening 4 is through a

Closure lid 5 airtight sealable.

In the embodiment shown, the closure lid 5 as well as the body 2 is formed of a flexible plastic film.

The closure lid 5 has on its inside facing the interior 3 6 an inner surface 7, which in the closed state of

Closure lid 5 is located within the removal opening 4 and this fills. The inner surface 7 has an adhesive element 8, which in the shown

Embodiment is designed as a hook element of a hook and loop fastener.

In the embodiment shown, the adhesive element 8, shown hatched, fills the entire inner surface 7 of the closure lid 5. Alternatively, the areal extent of the adhesive element 8 can also be significantly less than that

Be inner surface 7 and, for example, only 10 to 30% of the inner surface 7 amount.

If the closure lid 5 is closed, it covers the removal opening 4 of the body 2 and closes the interior 3 of the bulk packaging 1 airtight. If the bulk packaging 1 is completely filled and / or a slight pressure is exerted on the closure lid 5, then the adhesive element 8 comes into contact with and adheres to the uppermost sanitary towel held in the inner space 3. If the closure lid 5 is opened, it pulls a region of the adhering hygienic tissue through the removal opening 4 out of the interior 3 of the collective packaging 1 and makes it ready for removal.

FIG. 2 schematically shows a collection packaging 1 for hygiene tissues according to a second embodiment of the invention. This differs from the first embodiment shown in Figure 1 only by the configuration of the closure lid 5. This is formed in the second embodiment as a lid made of hard plastic and has a first element 9, which is fixed to the body 2 connectable. The first element 9 is with a second Element 10 of the closure lid 5 movably connected via a film hinge.

The first element 9 surrounds the removal opening 4. The second element 10 has on its inner side 6, as already described in connection with FIG. 1, an inner surface 7 with an adhesive element 8.

The first element 9 and the second element 10 form a latching closure. By pressure from above on the second element 10, the second element 10 locks on the first element 9 and thus closes the removal opening 4. The closure lid 5 of the two elements 9, 10 thus provides a mechanical closure.

FIG. 3 schematically shows a collection packaging 1 for hygiene tissues according to a third embodiment of the invention. This differs from that shown in Figures 1 and 2 in that the closure lid 5 is to be opened relative to the extension of the removal opening 4 rotated by 90 degrees. Incidentally, the third embodiment corresponds to the first.
