Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging system for pourable goods, such as washing powder, in particular washing powder granules and / or extrudates, as is e.g. is known from US-A-4 653 671.
- Conventional washing powder packaging generally consists of a folding box cut with tear tape, corrugated cardboard frame and riveted handle or handle integrated into the packaging, whereby 3 kg packs are generally used for normal powder or 2 kg containers for so-called heavy powder with a higher bulk density. With the latter, the package size is already significantly smaller than with conventional carrier packs for conventional detergent powder due to the higher bulk density of the product. However, as with the 3 kg large containers, it also works with an enclosed measuring cup or dosing aid, which is filled with a measuring vessel and placed directly in the washing machine. The packaging effort for this conventional packaging is therefore considerable and the disposal of the empty packaging is becoming increasingly problematic.
- the object of the invention is to significantly reduce the packaging effort while improving handling and dosage.
- the packaging material can be minimized in relation to the contents of the package, since the powder extrudate can be filled without empty space, the product having a supporting function during transport and storage, ie the relevant bag packaging is only transport-oriented.
- the rigid bulk container can be loaded with new pouch packaging or its contents as often as desired, the opened pouch with contents can be inserted into the bulk container or the contents of the pouch packaging can also be transferred to the bulk container.
- the remaining packaging material of the bag packaging can easily be compacted by crumpling it up in the smallest space and disposed of accordingly.
- the handling is easy and safe when the bag packaging is opened in the bulk container or the packaging content is poured into the container.
- the pouring container provided with a pouring nose has a measuring spoon which can be sealed between the pouring nose and the lid of the container.
- the dosing spoon forms a part of a sealing envelope of the packaging material in the clamped state, while it serves as dosing agent when the packaging contents are removed.
- a trough can expediently be formed in the lid of the container below the stem of the dosing spoon, such that the dosing spoon can be easily levered out from its clamped position between the pouring nose and the lid of the container by reaching under the stem.
- the cover of the container can be connected to the container in a hinge-like manner at its end opposite the pouring nose, the hinge connection between the container made of plastic and the cover preferably being designed as a simple film hinge.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment results when the metering spoon has a substantially square cross-section with a conically tapering shape into the interior of the container, such that the lid surrounds the metering spoon in a fork shape from the corner from which the Dipper stick extends above the lid, while the pouring nose of the container surrounds the opposite corner sides of the dosing spoon.
- edges of the pouring container, lid and dosing spoon can also be expediently designed in the area of the latter such that the upper edge surfaces of the dosing spoon are flush with the uppermost edge of the pouring container and with the top of the lid.
- the bag packaging can be designed as a simple block bottom bag, as has long been known for example for sugar or flour.
- the bag packaging can expediently be made so long in its upper opening area that the area of the packaging material that lies against the pouring nose of the container can be clamped between the pouring nose and opposite surfaces of the dosing spoon, in such a way that an undisturbed bag packaging is inserted even when opened in the pouring container Distribution is guaranteed.
- the packaging system described above has proven particularly suitable for detergent powder granules and / or extrudates with a bulk density of approx. 900 g / l, because these products remain pourable and free-flowing even with the pressure loads occurring during transport and storage of the relevant bag packaging, ie the individual grains are not destroyed or grow together to form larger grains.
- Fig. 1 is a rigid plastic container 1 made of suitable plastic and a soft, as a block bottom bag, bulging filled bag packaging 2 made of water vapor-tight material, which together form the packaging system according to the invention.
- the bulk container 1 is provided with a lid 3, which is connected to the plastic container via a film hinge 4, the adjacent region of the bulk container continuing in a handle 5.
- the bulk container is also formed with a pouring nose 6 and the lid 3 with an approximately rectangular recess 7, such that when the lid is closed, an approximately square opening is formed in the region of the pouring nose 6 and the recess 7, which opening can be sealed by a measuring spoon 8 , whereby the measuring spoon 8 tapers conically into the interior of the container.
- an edge bead 9 is formed and the lid 3 is provided with a corresponding snap edge 10 such that the top of the lid 3 is flush with the uppermost edge of the bulk container 1, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 1.
- the lid 3 is also provided with a trough 11 in the region of a dipper stick 12, as shown in particular in FIG. 3, such that the dosing spoon 8 can be levered out of its closed position according to FIG. 3 by simply lifting the free end of the stick 12.
- the packaging system in question works as follows: A bulk container 1 with at least one bag package 2, but preferably with a larger number of bag packages, is delivered together and the first bag package 2, whose outer contour is exactly matched to the inner contour of the bulk container 1, is opened in its upper region, as is the case here in block bottom bags for, for example, flour and sugar has been common for a long time and is either inserted into the bulk container 1 with enveloping packaging or the packaging content is transferred from the block bottom bag into the bulk container and then the lid 2 is closed and the measuring spoon also inserted sealingly between the pouring nose 6 and the lid recess 7, so that the contents of the packaging are well secured against the ingress of moisture or foreign matter until the respective use.
- the measuring spoon 8 For removal then only the measuring spoon 8 needs to be levered out in the manner described above and a quantity determined by the receiving volume of the measuring spoon 8 is poured into the measuring spoon via the pouring nose 6 and placed in a washing machine or the like. This process can be repeated as required and then the measuring spoon is immediately brought back into the closed position. After completely emptying, the packaging material of the bag packaging 1 can be crumpled up in the smallest space and disposed of in the waste, whereby the disposal is kept to a minimum.
- the dosing container has a practically unlimited shelf life and can be used again and again in connection with any number of pouch packs.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verpackung-System für schüttfähiges Gut, wie Waschpulver, insbesondere Waschpulvergranulate und/oder -Extrudate, wie es z.B. aus der US-A-4 653 671 bekannt ist.The invention relates to a packaging system for pourable goods, such as washing powder, in particular washing powder granules and / or extrudates, as is e.g. is known from US-A-4 653 671.
Herkömmliche Waschpulverpackungen bestehen im allgemeinen aus einem Faltschachtel-Zuschnitt mit Aufreißband, Wellpapp-Zarge und angenietetem oder in die Verpackung integriertem Tragegriff, wobei bei Normalpulver im allgemeinen 3 kg-Packungen oder bei sogenanntem Schwerpulver mit höherem Schüttgewicht 2 kg-Gebinde verwendet werden. Bei letzteren ist die Packungsgröße infolge der höheren Schüttdichte des Produkts schon signifikant kleiner als bei herkömmlichen Tragepackungen für übliches Waschmittelpulver. Dabei wird jedoch auch noch, wie bei den 3 kg-Großgebinden, mit einem beigelegten Meßbecher bzw. einer Dosierhilfe gearbeitet, die mit einem Meßgefäß gefüllt und direkt in die Waschmaschine gelegt wird. Der Verpackungsaufwand bei diesen herkömmlichen Verpackungen ist demnach beträchtlich und die Entsorgung der leeren Verpackungen wird entsprechend zunehmend problematisch.Conventional washing powder packaging generally consists of a folding box cut with tear tape, corrugated cardboard frame and riveted handle or handle integrated into the packaging, whereby 3 kg packs are generally used for normal powder or 2 kg containers for so-called heavy powder with a higher bulk density. With the latter, the package size is already significantly smaller than with conventional carrier packs for conventional detergent powder due to the higher bulk density of the product. However, as with the 3 kg large containers, it also works with an enclosed measuring cup or dosing aid, which is filled with a measuring vessel and placed directly in the washing machine. The packaging effort for this conventional packaging is therefore considerable and the disposal of the empty packaging is becoming increasingly problematic.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Verpackungsaufwand bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Handhabung und Dosierung wesentlich zu verringern.The object of the invention is to significantly reduce the packaging effort while improving handling and dosage.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of
Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung kann das Verpackungsmaterial bezogen auf den Packungsinhalt minimiert werden, da das Pulver-Extrudat ohne Leerraum abgefüllt werden kann, wobei das Produkt während Transport und Lagerung mittragende Funktion hat, d.h. die betreffenden Beutelverpackungen sind ausschließlich transportorientiert. Der starre Schüttbehälter kann beliebig oft mit neuen Beutelverpackungen bzw. deren Inhalt beschickt werden, wobei man den geöffneten Beutel mit Inhalt in den Schüttbehälter einsetzen oder aber auch den Inhalt der Beutelverpackung in den Schüttbehälter umfüllen kann. Das zurückbleibende Verpackungsmaterial der Beutelverpackung kann leicht durch Zusammenknüllen auf kleinsten Raum verdichtet und entsprechend gut entsorgt werden. Außerdem ist die Handhabung bei in den Schüttbehälter eingesetzter geöffneter Beutelverpackung oder in den Behälter umgefülltem Verpackungsinhalt einfach und sicher.Due to this design, the packaging material can be minimized in relation to the contents of the package, since the powder extrudate can be filled without empty space, the product having a supporting function during transport and storage, ie the relevant bag packaging is only transport-oriented. The rigid bulk container can be loaded with new pouch packaging or its contents as often as desired, the opened pouch with contents can be inserted into the bulk container or the contents of the pouch packaging can also be transferred to the bulk container. The remaining packaging material of the bag packaging can easily be compacted by crumpling it up in the smallest space and disposed of accordingly. In addition, the handling is easy and safe when the bag packaging is opened in the bulk container or the packaging content is poured into the container.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, daß der mit einer Schüttnase versehene Schüttbehälter einen Dosierlöffel aufweist, der dichtend zwischen Schüttnase und Deckel des Behälters einklemmbar ist. Auf diese Weise bildet der Dosierlöffel im eingeklemmten Zustand einen Teil einer dichtenden Umhüllung des Verpackungsgutes, während er bei der Entnahme des Verpackungsinhalts als Dosiermittel dient.It is particularly advantageous that the pouring container provided with a pouring nose has a measuring spoon which can be sealed between the pouring nose and the lid of the container. In this way, the dosing spoon forms a part of a sealing envelope of the packaging material in the clamped state, while it serves as dosing agent when the packaging contents are removed.
Zweckmäßig kann dabei im Deckel des Behälters unterhalb des Stiels des Dosierlöffels eine Ausmuldung ausgebildet sein, derart, daß durch Untergreifen des Stiels der Dosierlöffel leicht aus seiner eingeklemmten Stellung Zwischen Schüttnase und Deckel des Behälters ausgehebelt werden kann.A trough can expediently be formed in the lid of the container below the stem of the dosing spoon, such that the dosing spoon can be easily levered out from its clamped position between the pouring nose and the lid of the container by reaching under the stem.
Ferner kann der Deckel des Behälters an seinem der Schüttnase gegenüberliegenden Ende scharnierartig mit dem Behälter verbunden sein, wobei die Scharnierverbindung zwischen aus Kunststoff bestehendem Behälter und Deckel vorzugsweise als einfaches Filmscharnier ausgebildet sein kann.Furthermore, the cover of the container can be connected to the container in a hinge-like manner at its end opposite the pouring nose, the hinge connection between the container made of plastic and the cover preferably being designed as a simple film hinge.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ergibt sich dabei, wenn der Dosierlöffel einen im wesentlichen quadratischen Querschnitt mit ins Behälterinnere sich konisch verjüngender Form aufweist, derart, daß der Deckel den Dosierlöffel gabelförmig von der Ecke umgreift, von der sich der Löffelstiel oberhalb des Deckels erstreckt, während die Schüttnase des Behälters die gegenüberliegenden Eckseiten des Dosierlöffels umgibt.A particularly advantageous embodiment results when the metering spoon has a substantially square cross-section with a conically tapering shape into the interior of the container, such that the lid surrounds the metering spoon in a fork shape from the corner from which the Dipper stick extends above the lid, while the pouring nose of the container surrounds the opposite corner sides of the dosing spoon.
Ferner kann man das obere Ende des Schüttbehälters mit einem inneren Randwulst ausbilden, mit dem der Rand des Deckels derart zusammenwirkt, daß die Oberseite des Deckels im geschlossenen Zustand mit dem obersten Rand des Schüttbehälters fluchtet.Furthermore, one can form the upper end of the bulk container with an inner bead with which the edge of the lid cooperates in such a way that the top of the lid is flush with the uppermost edge of the bulk container in the closed state.
Auch die Ränder von Schüttbehälter, Deckel und Dosierlöffel können zweckmäßig im Bereich des letzteren derart ausgebildet sein, daß die oberen Randflächen des Dosierlöffels mit dem obersten Rand des Schüttbehälters und mit der Oberseite des Deckels fluchten.The edges of the pouring container, lid and dosing spoon can also be expediently designed in the area of the latter such that the upper edge surfaces of the dosing spoon are flush with the uppermost edge of the pouring container and with the top of the lid.
In einfachster und verpackungssparendster Weise kann die Beutelverpackung als einfacher Klotzbodenbeutel ausgebildet sein, wie diese seit langem beispielsweise für Zucker oder Mehl bekannt sind.In the simplest and most packaging-saving manner, the bag packaging can be designed as a simple block bottom bag, as has long been known for example for sugar or flour.
Vorteilhaft ist es, das Material der Beutelverpackung wasserdampfdicht zu wählen, derart, daß feuchtigkeitsempfindliche Granulate bzw. Pulver-Extrudate bis zur Öffnung der Beutelverpackung in dieser gegen Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme gesichert sind.It is advantageous to choose the material of the bag packaging in a water vapor-tight manner such that moisture-sensitive granules or powder extrudates are secured in the bag packaging against moisture absorption until it is opened.
Zweckmäßig kann man die Beutelverpackung in ihrem oberen Öffnungsbereich derart lang ausbilden, daß der sich an die Schüttnase des Behälters anlegende Bereich des Verpackungsmaterials zwischen Schüttnase und gegenüberliegenden Flächen des Dosierlöffels einklemmbar ist, derart, daß auch bei im geöffneten Zustand in den Schüttbehälter eingesetzter Beutelverpackung ein ungestörtes Ausschütten gewährleistet ist.The bag packaging can expediently be made so long in its upper opening area that the area of the packaging material that lies against the pouring nose of the container can be clamped between the pouring nose and opposite surfaces of the dosing spoon, in such a way that an undisturbed bag packaging is inserted even when opened in the pouring container Distribution is guaranteed.
Als besonders geeignet hat sich das vorbeschriebene Verpackungs-System für Waschpulvergranulate und/oder -Extrudate mit einem Schüttgewicht von ca. 900 g/l erwiesen, weil diese Produkte auch bei den bei Transport und Lagerung der betreffenden Beutelverpackungen auftretenden Druckbelastungen schütt- und rieselfähig bleiben, d.h. die Einzelkörner nicht zerstört werden oder zu größeren Körnern zusammenwachsen.The packaging system described above has proven particularly suitable for detergent powder granules and / or extrudates with a bulk density of approx. 900 g / l, because these products remain pourable and free-flowing even with the pressure loads occurring during transport and storage of the relevant bag packaging, ie the individual grains are not destroyed or grow together to form larger grains.

In Fig. 1 ist ein aus geeignetem Kunststoff bestehender starrer Schüttbehälter 1 und eine weiche, als Klotzbodenbeutel ausgebildete, prall gefüllte Beutelverpackung 2 aus wasserdampfdichtem Material wiedergegeben, die gemeinsam das erfindungsgemäße Verpackungs-System bilden.In Fig. 1 is a rigid
Wie insbesondere Fig. 2 zeigt, ist der Schüttbehälter 1 mit einem Deckel 3 versehen, der mit den Kunststoffbehälter über ein Filmscharnier 4 verbunden ist, wobei sich der angrenzende Bereich des Schüttbehälters in einen Handgriff 5 fortsetzt. Der Schüttbehälter ist ferner mit einer Schüttnase 6 ausgebildet und der Deckel 3 mit einer etwa rechtwinkligen Ausnehmung 7, derart, daß bei geschlossenem Deckel im Bereich der Schüttnase 6 und der Ausnehmung 7 eine etwa quadratische Öffnung gebildet ist, die durch einen Dosierlöffel 8 dichtend verschließbar ist, wobei der Dosierlöffel 8 sich ins Behälterinnere konisch verjüngt.As shown in FIG. 2 in particular, the
Am oberen Rand des Schüttbehälters ist ein Randwulst 9 ausgebildet und der Deckel 3 ist mit einem entsprechenden Schnapprand 10 versehen, derart, daß die Oberseite des Deckels 3 im geschlossenen Zustand mit dem obersten Rand des Schüttbehälters 1 fluchtet, wie insbesondere Fig. 1 erkennen läßt.At the upper edge of the bulk container an
Der Deckel 3 ist ferner mit einer Ausmuldung 11 im Bereich eines Löffelstieles 12 versehen, wie insbesondere Fig. 3 zeigt, derart, daß der Dosierlöffel 8 durch einfaches Anheben des freien Endes des Stieles 12 aus seiner Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 3 ausgehebelt werden kann.The
Die Wirkungsweise des betreffenden Verpackungs-Systems ist wie folgt:
Ein Schüttbehälter 1 mit mindestens einer Beutelverpackung 2, vorzugsweise jedoch mit einer größeren Anzahl von Beutelverpackungen, wird gemeinsan angeliefert und die erste Beutelverpackung 2, welche in ihrer Außenkontur genau an die Innenkontur des Schüttbehälters 1 angepaßt ist, wird in ihrem oberen Bereich geöffnet, wie dies bei Klotzbodenbeuteln für beispielsweise Mehl und Zucker seit langem üblich ist und in den Schüttbehälter 1 entweder mit umhüllender Verpackung eingesetzt oder der Verpackungsinhalt wird aus dem Klotzbodenbeutel in den Schüttbehälter umgefüllt und darauf der Deckel 2 geschlossen und der Dosierlöffel ebenfalls dichtend zwischen Schüttnase 6 und Deckelausnehmung 7 eingesetzt, so daß der Verpackungsinhalt bis zum jeweiligen Gebrauch gut gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit oder Fremdstoffen gesichert ist.The packaging system in question works as follows:
A
Zur Entnahme braucht dann jeweils lediglich der Dosierlöffel 8 in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise ausgehebelt und eine durch das Aufnahmevolumen des Dosierlöffels 8 bestimmte Menge über die Schüttnase 6 in den Dosierlöffel gefüllt und in eine Waschmaschine oder dergl. gegeben zu werden. Dieser Vorgang kann je nach Bedarf entsprechend wiederholt werden und abschließend wird sofort der Dosierlöffel wieder in Schließstellung gebracht. Das Verpackungsmaterial der Beutelverpackung 1 kann nach völliger Entleerung auf kleinsten Raum zusammengeknüllt und in den Abfall gegeben werden, wodurch die Entsorgung auf ein Minimum begrenzt wird. Der Dosierbehälter ist praktisch unbegrenzt haltbar und kann in Verbindung mit beliebig vielen Beutelverpackungen immer wieder verwendet werden.For removal then only the
