Definitions
- the invention relates to a can according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Cans come for example for food, beverages or the like. to use.
- a major problem with such cans is that the emptied cans have so far been sent to household waste or to recycling in essentially unchanged form.
- the emptied cans form a bulky good, which is why half an attempt is often made to compress the emptied cans at least on their jacket part in order to reduce their volume. Due to the bottom connected to the jacket part, however, when the jacket part is pressed together due to the rigidity of the bottom, there is hardly any possibility of compressing the empty box very space-saving or at least approximately flat.
- a can of the type mentioned is known from US-A 2 783 934.
- the jacket part is formed with tabs which protrude axially from both the upper and the lower edge of the jacket part.
- the base and the lid of this box have a base part with a peripheral contour that is adapted to the peripheral contour of the jacket part.
- longitudinal slots are formed along the peripheral edge of the base or the cover, through which the tabs protruding from the cover part are inserted when the base and cover are fixed to the cover part.
- the tabs inserted through the longitudinal slots then become part of the jacket bent, after which a band is arranged, which is provided for fixing the tabs on the jacket part.
- US Pat. No. 3,179,321 describes a container with a bottom, a jacket part and a lid, the bottom and the lid closing the jacket part on the top and bottom.
- This container is formed on the upper edge of the jacket part with tabs with which it is possible to detachably or tightly arrange the lid on the jacket part.
- the bottom of this container is not intended to be detached from the jacket part; rather, the bottom is fixed there, for example by means of rivets, and thus virtually inseparably on the lower edge of the jacket part.
- DE-A 4 006 193 shows a screw jar that not only has a screw cap, but also a screw bottom. Space-saving disposal is not possible with such a screw-on jar because it cannot be squeezed to save space. This applies in particular to the two closures of this known screw jar.
- the invention has for its object to provide a can of the type mentioned, which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and which can be easily converted into a small volume in a drained state without additional tools, so that it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
- the predetermined breaking line of the corresponding ring-pull opening device expediently runs in the immediate vicinity of the peripheral edge or the peripheral contour of the bottom or lid, so that after opening the bottom and the lid, respectively remaining bottom or lid edge is as narrow as possible and consequently does not cause any undesirable buckling stiffness for the casing part.
- the tear-off tape opening device is provided on the casing part in the vicinity of the bottom and the lid in the case of the can according to the invention.
- the contents in the can can be emptied from the can easily and without remaining residues.
- the casing part can e.g. after opening the bottom and the lid or after removing the bottom and the lid can be squeezed or pressed flat with the palm of your hand or with one foot.
- the emptied can has the smallest possible volume, which is also advantageous, for example, for refuse collection, for transport to a landfill, or for recycling.
- the flattened cans including or exclusive bottom and lid e.g. like collecting magazines and recycling them.
- the ability to flatten the cans easily and effortlessly means that there is a high level of motivation for collecting waste cans.
- FIG. 1 shows a can 10, partly in section, in a side view, the can 10 having any base shape.
- a can 10 usually has a circular, oval, rounded polygonal or any other base shape.
- the can 10 has a jacket part 12 which is closed at the top by a lid 14 and at the bottom by a bottom 16 as soon as the can 10 is filled with content.
- the sealing arrangement of bottom 16 and cover 14 on the casing part 12 is known and is not the subject of the present invention, so that there is no need to go into this in detail.
- Both the lid 14 and the bottom 16 are provided with an opening device 18 in the box 10, which - as can be seen from FIG. 2 - are designed as a ring-pull opening device. They have a ring 20 and a tear-open claw 22 in a manner known per se and are fixed, for example, to the cover 14 or to the base 16 by means of a rivet 24. If the corresponding ring 20 is pulled up, the tear-open claw 22 is simultaneously pressed into the cover 14 or the bottom 16.
- a predetermined breaking line 25 in the immediate vicinity of the edge of the bottom 16 or lid 14 serves to tear off the lid 14 or the bottom 16 along the corresponding predetermined breaking line 24 in a force-saving manner.
- the predetermined breaking line 25 is provided in relation to the associated opening device 18 in such a way that the corresponding tear-open claw 22 is inserted into the predetermined breaking line 25 when the ring 20 is pulled up.
- FIG. 3 Another embodiment of the can 10 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3 in a side view.
- the box 10 shown here has opening devices 18 on the jacket part 12 in the vicinity of the base 16 and the lid 14, which are designed as tear-off tape opening devices known per se with a tear-off tape 26 running around the jacket part 12.
- Each tear strip 26 has a freely accessible end section 28, which is gripped in order to be able to tear off the corresponding tear-off tape from the jacket part 12 of the can 10.
- the jacket part 12 can be formed in the immediate vicinity of the corresponding tear-off tape 26 with circumferential predetermined breaking lines 30.
- the opening devices 18 on the bottom 16 and on the lid 14 of the can 10 also have the advantage that both opening devices 18 can be actuated without problems, without the reduced stiffness of the can 10 after actuation of an opening device 18 affecting the operability of the remaining second opening device 18 adversely affects.
- both opening devices 18 can be actuated without problems, without the reduced stiffness of the can 10 after actuation of an opening device 18 affecting the operability of the remaining second opening device 18 adversely affects.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dose gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a can according to the preamble of claim 1.
Dosen kommen beispielsweise für Nahrungsmittel, Getränke o.dgl. zur Anwendung. Ein großes Problem derartiger Dosen besteht darin, daß die entleerten Dosen bislang im wesentlichen in unveränderter Form dem Hausmüll oder einem Recycling zugeführt werden. Die entleerten Dosen bilden hierbei ein sperriges Gut, wes halb oftmals auch versucht wird, die entleerten Dosen wenigstens an ihrem Mantelteil zusammenzudrücken, um ihr Volumen zu reduzieren. Durch den mit dem Mantelteil verbundenen Boden ergibt sich jedoch beim Zusammenpressen des Mantelteils durch die Steifigkeit des Bodens kaum die Möglichkeit, die leere Dose sehr raumsparend bzw. mindestens näherungsweise platt zusammenzudrücken.Cans come for example for food, beverages or the like. to use. A major problem with such cans is that the emptied cans have so far been sent to household waste or to recycling in essentially unchanged form. The emptied cans form a bulky good, which is why half an attempt is often made to compress the emptied cans at least on their jacket part in order to reduce their volume. Due to the bottom connected to the jacket part, however, when the jacket part is pressed together due to the rigidity of the bottom, there is hardly any possibility of compressing the empty box very space-saving or at least approximately flat.
Eine Dose der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US-A 2 783 934 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Dose ist das Mantelteil mit Laschen ausgebildet, die sowohl vom oberen als auch vom unteren Rand des Mantelteils axial wegstehen. Der Boden und der Deckel weisen bei dieser Dose ein Grundflächenteil mit einer Umfangskontur auf, die an die Umfangskontur des Mantelteils angepaßt ist. Vom Umfangsrand des Bodens bzw. des Deckels stehen radial Laschen weg. Außerdem sind entlang des Umfangsrandes des Bodens bzw. des Deckels Längsschlitze ausgebildet, durch welche die vom Mantelteil wegstehenden Laschen durchgesteckt werden, wenn Boden und Deckel am Mantelteil festgelegt werden. Die durch die Längsschlitze durchgesteckten Laschen werden dann zum Mantelteil umgebogen, wonach ein Band angeordnet wird, das zum Festlegen der Laschen am Mantelteil vorgesehen ist. Das bedingt nicht nur eine aufwendige Herstellung aller Einzelteile dieser bekannten Dose, sondern auch einen erheblichen Aufwand beim Zusammenbau der besagten Einzelteile.A can of the type mentioned is known from US-A 2 783 934. In this known box, the jacket part is formed with tabs which protrude axially from both the upper and the lower edge of the jacket part. The base and the lid of this box have a base part with a peripheral contour that is adapted to the peripheral contour of the jacket part. There are radial tabs away from the peripheral edge of the bottom or the lid. In addition, longitudinal slots are formed along the peripheral edge of the base or the cover, through which the tabs protruding from the cover part are inserted when the base and cover are fixed to the cover part. The tabs inserted through the longitudinal slots then become part of the jacket bent, after which a band is arranged, which is provided for fixing the tabs on the jacket part. This not only requires a complex production of all individual parts of this known can, but also a considerable effort in the assembly of said individual parts.
Die US-A 3 179 321 beschreibt ein Behältnis mit einem Boden, einem Mantelteil und einem Deckel, wobei der Boden und der Deckel das Mantelteil unter- und oberseitig abschließen. Dieses Behältnis ist am oberseitigen Rand des Mantelteils mit Laschen ausgebildet, mit welchen es möglich ist, den Deckel am Mantelteil lösbar bzw. dicht anzuordnen. Der Boden ist bei diesem Behältnis jedoch nicht dazu vorgesehen, vom Mantelteil losgelöst zu werden, vielmehr ist der Boden dort bspw. mittels Nieten und somit quasi unlösbar am unterseitigen Rand des Mantelteils fixiert.US Pat. No. 3,179,321 describes a container with a bottom, a jacket part and a lid, the bottom and the lid closing the jacket part on the top and bottom. This container is formed on the upper edge of the jacket part with tabs with which it is possible to detachably or tightly arrange the lid on the jacket part. However, the bottom of this container is not intended to be detached from the jacket part; rather, the bottom is fixed there, for example by means of rivets, and thus virtually inseparably on the lower edge of the jacket part.
Die DE-A 4 006 193 zeigt ein Schraubglas, das nicht nur einen Schraubdeckel aufweist, sondern auch einen Schraubboden. Eine platzsparende Entsorgung ist mit einem solchen Schraubglas nicht möglich, weil es selbst nicht platzsparend zusammendrückbar ist. Das gilt insbesondere auch für die beiden Verschlüsse dieses bekannten Schraubglases.DE-A 4 006 193 shows a screw jar that not only has a screw cap, but also a screw bottom. Space-saving disposal is not possible with such a screw-on jar because it cannot be squeezed to save space. This applies in particular to the two closures of this known screw jar.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dose der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die einfach und preisgünstig herstellbar ist, und die im entleerten Zustand ohne weiteres Werkzeug kraftsparend in ein kleines Volumen umwandelbar ist, so daß sie umweltfreundlich entsorgt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a can of the type mentioned, which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and which can be easily converted into a small volume in a drained state without additional tools, so that it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruchs 1 oder durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichenteiles des Anspruchs 2 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 or by the features of the characterizing part of claim 2.
Die Herstellung der Dose mit an sich bekannten Ring-Pull-Verschlüssen bzw. mit an sich bekannten Abreißband-Öffnungseinrichtungen ist preisgünstig auf an sich bekannten, d.h. handelsüblichen Maschinen möglich, wobei es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich ist, durch nur geringfügige Modifikationen der vorhandenen Maschinen diese für die erfindungsgemäße Dose zum Einsatz zu bringen.The production of the box with ring-pull closures known per se or with tear-off tape opening devices known per se is inexpensively possible on known, ie commercially available machines, it being possible in an advantageous manner to use them for the can according to the invention by only slightly modifying the existing machines.
Nachdem es mit den bekannten Ring-Pull-Öffnungseinrichtungen bzw. mit den bekannten Abreißband-Öffnungseinrichtungen einfach und kraftsparend möglich ist, Deckel und Boden ohne besondere Werkzeuge vom Mantelteil der Dose zu gegebener Zeit zu entfernen, ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, das Mantelteil kraftsparend zusammenzufalten und das so komprimierte Mantelteil, den Deckel und den Boden platzsparend zu entsorgen.After it is possible with the known ring-pull opening devices or with the known tear-off tape opening devices in a simple and energy-saving manner to remove the lid and base from the casing part of the can at any given time without special tools, it is advantageously possible to save the casing part fold up and dispose of the thus compressed jacket part, the lid and the floor to save space.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Dose ist es also möglich, nicht nur den Deckel vom Mantelteil zu entfernen, sondern auch den Boden, so daß das Mantelteil nach der Entfernung des Deckels und des Bodens kraftsparend und ohne weiteres Hilfsmittel problemlos plattgedrückt werden kann. Einesolche plattgedrückte Dose weist nur einen minimalen Raumbedarf auf, so daß sie problemlos dem Hausmüll oder einem Recycling zugeführt werden kann. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, Boden und Deckel nur so weit zu öffnen, daß sie mit einem schmalen Abschnitt am Mantelteil verbleiben, wobei es zweckmäßig ist, wenn Boden und Deckel im Bereich der gleichen Mantellinie vom Mantelteil wegstehen, um das Mantelteil plattdrücken zu können, wobei Boden und Deckel in der gleichen Ebene liegen wie das plattgedrückte Mantelteil.In the case of the can according to the invention, it is therefore possible not only to remove the cover from the casing part, but also to remove the base, so that the cover part, after removal of the cover and the base, can be easily pressed flat and without further aids. Such a flattened can has only a minimal space requirement, so that it can be easily disposed of with household waste or for recycling. Of course, it is also possible to open the bottom and lid only to such an extent that they remain with a narrow section on the jacket part, it being expedient if the bottom and lid protrude from the jacket part in the region of the same jacket line in order to be able to flatten the jacket part, the bottom and lid are in the same plane as the flattened jacket part.
Die Sollbruchlinie der entsprechenden Ring-Pull-Öffnungseinrichtung verläuft zweckmäßigerweise in nächster Nähe des Umfangsrandes bzw. der Umfangskontur des Bodens bzw. Deckels, damit der nach dem Öffnen des Bodens und des Deckels jeweils verbleibende Boden- bzw. Deckelrand möglichst schmal ist und demzufolge keine unerwünschte Knicksteifigkeit für das Mantelteil bewirkt.The predetermined breaking line of the corresponding ring-pull opening device expediently runs in the immediate vicinity of the peripheral edge or the peripheral contour of the bottom or lid, so that after opening the bottom and the lid, respectively remaining bottom or lid edge is as narrow as possible and consequently does not cause any undesirable buckling stiffness for the casing part.
Dem selben Zweck, d.h. einer möglichst geringen Knicksteifigkeit, ist es dienlich, wenn bei der erfindungsgemäßen Dose die Abreißband-Öffnungseinrichtung am Mantelteil in der Nachbarschaft des Bodens und des Deckels vorgesehen sind.The same purpose, i.e. the lowest possible stiffness, it is useful if the tear-off tape opening device is provided on the casing part in the vicinity of the bottom and the lid in the case of the can according to the invention.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Dose ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß durch Entfernen nicht nur des Deckels sondern auch des Bodens der in der Dose befindliche Inhalt einfach und ohne zurückbleibende Reste aus der Dose entleert werden kann. Das Mantelteil kann nach dem Öffnen des Bodens und des Deckels bzw. nach dem Entfernen des Bodens und des Deckels z.B. kraftsparend mit der flachen Hand oder mit einem Fuß zusammen- bzw. plattgedrückt werden. In diesem Zustand besitzt die entleerte Dose das kleinstmögliche Volumen, was beispielsweise auch für die Müllabfuhr, für den Transport zu einer Mülldeponie, oder beim Recycling von Vorteil ist. Außerdem ist es möglich, die flachgedrückten Dosen inclusive oder exclusive Boden und Deckel z.B. wie Zeitschriften gebündelt zu sammeln und dem Recycling zuzuführen. Weiterhin ist durch die Möglichkeit, die Dosen einfach und kraftsparend flachdrücken zu können, auch die Modivation zur Abfalldosen-Sammlung hoch.With the can according to the invention there is the further advantage that by removing not only the lid but also the bottom, the contents in the can can be emptied from the can easily and without remaining residues. The casing part can e.g. after opening the bottom and the lid or after removing the bottom and the lid can be squeezed or pressed flat with the palm of your hand or with one foot. In this state, the emptied can has the smallest possible volume, which is also advantageous, for example, for refuse collection, for transport to a landfill, or for recycling. It is also possible to include the flattened cans including or exclusive bottom and lid e.g. like collecting magazines and recycling them. Furthermore, the ability to flatten the cans easily and effortlessly means that there is a high level of motivation for collecting waste cans.

Fig.1 zeigt eine Dose 10 teilweise auf geschnitten in einer Seitenansicht, wobei die Dose 10 eine beliebige Grundflächengestalt besitzen kann. Üblicherweise weist eine solche Dose 10 eine kreisrunde, ovale, eine abgerundet vieleckige oder eine beliebige andere Grundflächengestalt auf. Die Dose 10 besitzt ein Mantelteil 12, das oberseitig durch einen Deckel 14 und unterseitig durch einen Boden 16 abgeschlossen ist, sobald die Dose 10 mit Inhalt gefüllt ist. Die abdichtende Anordnung von Boden 16 und Deckel 14 am Mantelteil 12 ist bekannt und nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung, so daß hierauf nicht detailliert eingegangen zu werden braucht.1 shows a
Sowohl der Deckel 14 als auch der Boden 16 sind bei der Dose 10 mit einer Öffnungseinrichtung 18 versehen, die - wie aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist - als Ring-Pull-Öffnungseinrichtung ausgebildet sind. Sie weisen in an sich bekannter Weise einen Ring 20 und eine Aufreißklaue 22 auf und sind bspw. mittels eines Nietes 24 am Deckel 14 bzw. am Boden 16 fixiert. Wird der entsprechende Ring 20 hochgezogen, so wird gleichzeitig die Aufreißklaue 22 in den Deckel 14 bzw. in den Boden 16 eingedrückt. Eine in der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft des Randes des Bodens 16 bzw. Deckels 14 umlaufende Sollbruchlinie 25 dient dazu, den Deckel 14 bzw. den Boden 16 entlang der entsprechenden Sollbruchlinie 24 kraftsparend von der Dose 10 abreißen zu können. Die Sollbruchlinie 25 ist hierbei in bezug auf die zugehörige Öffnungseinrichtung 18 derartig vorgesehen, daß die entsprechende Aufreißklaue 22 beim Hochziehen des Ringes 20 in die Sollbruchlinie 25 eingesteckt wird.Both the

Die hiergezeigt Dose 10 weist am Mantelteil 12 in der Nachbarschaft des Bodens 16 und des Deckels 14 Öffnungseinrichtungen 18 auf, die als an sich bekannten Abreißband-Öffnungseinrichtungen mit einem um das Mantelteil 12 umlaufenden Abreißband 26 ausgebildet sind. Jedes Abreißband 26 weist einen frei zugänglichen Endabschnitt 28 auf, der gegriffen wird, um das entsprechende Abreißband vom Mantelteil 12 der Dose 10 abreißen zu können. Um den Abreißvorgang zu erleichtern, kann das Mantelteil 12 in unmittelbarer Nähe des entsprechenden Abreißbandes 26 mit umlaufenden Sollbruchlinien 30 ausgebildet sein.Another embodiment of the
Die Öffnungseinrichtungen 18 am Boden 16 und am Deckel 14 der Dose 10 weisen auch den Vorteil auf, daß beide Öffnungseinrichtungen 18 problemlos betätigt werden können, ohne daß sich die reduzierte Steifheit der Dose 10 nach der Betätigung einer Öffnungseinrichtung 18 auf die Betätigbarkeit der verbleibenden zweiten Öffnungseinrichtung 18 nachteilig auswirkt. Bei bekannten Dosen mit nur einer Öffnungseinrichtung ist nämlich immer wieder festzustellen, daß es infolge der nach dem Entfernen des Deckels reduzierten Steifheit der Dose kaum noch oder nicht mehr möglich ist, mit einen Dosenöffner auch noch den Boden vom Mantelteil zu entfernen.The
