Description

"Verpackung für fließfähiqe Produkte""Packaging for flowable products"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für fließfähige Pro¬ dukte mit einem Produktaufnahmebehältnis und mit einer im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung des Aufnahmebehältnisses befe¬ stigten verschließbaren Dosierspitze.The invention relates to a packaging for flowable products with a product receptacle and with a closable metering tip fastened in the region of the outlet opening of the receptacle.
Derartige Verpackungen, insbesondere für fließfähige Kleb¬ stoffe, sind beispielsweise in Flaschenform aus Kunststoff bekannt, wobei zur Produktentnahme vom Benutzer von außen auf die Wandflächen der flexiblen Kunststoffflasche Druck ausgeübt wird, wodurch Klebstoff durch die geöffnete Do¬ sierspitze austritt. Diese bekannte Verpackung ist zwar für viele Anwendungszwecke ausreichend, von Nachteil ist je¬ doch, daß eine genaue Dosierung der auszubringenden Kleb¬ stoffmenge nicht oder nur sehr schwierig möglich ist, inde vom Benutzer ein ganz genau dosierter Druck auf die Verpak kung ausgeübt wird.Packaging of this type, in particular for flowable adhesives, is known, for example, in bottle form made of plastic, pressure being exerted on the wall surfaces of the flexible plastic bottle by the user for product removal, as a result of which adhesive emerges through the opened metering tip. Although this known packaging is sufficient for many applications, it is disadvantageous that precise metering of the amount of adhesive to be applied is not possible or is very difficult, regardless of whether the user exerts a very precisely metered pressure on the packaging.
Darüber hinaus sind tubenförmige Verpackungen für derartig Klebstoffe aus weichem Metall bekannt. Dabei tritt der Klebstoff bei Druck auf die Tube aus, wobei von wesentli¬ chem Nachteil ist, daß die tubenförmige Verpackung nach de Druckausübung und insbesondere nach fortschreitender Ent¬ leerung in ihrer eingedrückten Position verbleibt, was die Handhabung insbesondere dann erschwert, wenn die Verpackung nicht mehr voll gefüllt ist. Außerdem ist auch die Stabili¬ tät der Verpackung dann beeinträchtigt. Darüber hinaus stellt sich dasselbe Problem wie bei bekannten Kunststoff¬ flaschenverpackungen, da auch mit dieser tubenförmigen Me¬ tallverpackung keine genaue Dosierung erreichbar ist.In addition, tubular packaging for such adhesives made of soft metal are known. In this case, the adhesive exits the tube under pressure, a major disadvantage being that the tubular packaging remains in its pressed-in position after the pressure has been exerted and in particular after the emptying has progressed Handling particularly difficult when the packaging is no longer fully filled. In addition, the stability of the packaging is also impaired. In addition, the same problem arises as with known plastic bottle packaging, since even with this tubular metal packaging no exact dosage can be achieved.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine formstabile Verpackung zu schaffen, mit der unabhängig vom Füllstand eine exakte Dosierung bei der Produktabgabe bei guter Handhabbarkeit möglich ist.The object of the invention is to provide a dimensionally stable packaging with which, regardless of the fill level, an exact dosage during product delivery is possible with good handling.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Verpackung der eingangs be¬ zeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Produktaufnahmebehältnis von einem fließgepreßten röhrchen- oder tubenförmigen Aluminiumgebinde gebildet ist, welches wenigstens bereichsweise mit einer bei äußerer Druckeinwir¬ kung eindrückbaren und bei Druckentlastung rückstellenden Wandfläche versehen ist.This object is achieved according to the invention with a packaging of the type described at the outset in that the product receptacle is formed from an extruded tubular or tubular aluminum container which is at least partially provided with a wall surface which can be pressed in under external pressure and which resets when the pressure is released.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird eine formstabile Ver¬ packung zur Verfügung gestellt, die gleichzeitig auch eine genaue Dosierung bei Druckanwendung von außen ermöglicht. Es hat sich nämlich herausgestellt, daß derartige Alumini¬ umgebinde nach dem Fließpressen sehr hart sind und eine ge¬ wisse Deformation mit Rückstellvermögen zulassen. Da die von außen aufbringbare Deformation bei normalem Druck durch die Benutzerhand begrenzt ist, kann nur eine geringe Pro¬ duktmenge jeweils austreten, so daß eine genaue Dosierung möglich ist. Da außerdem aufgrund des Rückstellvermögens und der nur geringen Deformation die komprimierte Wandflä¬ che nach der Druckausübung in ihre Ausgangsposition zurück¬ gelangt, steht unabhängig vom Füllzustand eine formstabile Verpackung zur Verfügung. Diese Verpackung ist darüber hin¬ aus sehr dicht, insbesondere wasserdampfdicht, so daß sie für fließfähige Klebstoffe, insbesondere für Cyanacrylat, besonders geeignet ist.With the solution according to the invention, a dimensionally stable packaging is made available, which at the same time also enables precise metering when pressure is applied from the outside. It has been found that such aluminum bandages are very hard after extrusion and allow a certain deformation with resilience. Since the Deformation that can be applied from outside at normal pressure is limited by the user's hand, only a small amount of product can emerge in each case, so that an exact dosage is possible. In addition, since the compressed wall surface returns to its starting position after the pressure has been exerted due to the resilience and the only slight deformation, a dimensionally stable packaging is available regardless of the filling state. This packaging is also very leakproof, in particular water vapor-tight, so that it is particularly suitable for flowable adhesives, in particular for cyanoacrylate.
In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Produktaufnahmebehältnis qμerschnitt¬ lich kreisförmig ausgebildet ist und in der Wandfläche we¬ nigstens eine eindrückbare Griff ulde aufweist. Ein derar¬ tiges kreisförmiges fließgepreßtes Aluminumgebinde ist na¬ hezu völlig formstabil und läßt sich nicht ohne weiteres eindrücken, die erforderliche Eindrückbarkeit zur Dosierung wird deshalb durch die wenigstens eine eingeprägte Griff¬ mulde bereitgestellt.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the product receptacle is of cross-sectional design and has at least one push-in handle in the wall surface. Such a circular extruded aluminum container is almost completely dimensionally stable and cannot be pressed in without further ado, the indentation required for metering is therefore provided by the at least one embossed handle recess.
Dabei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn das Produktaufnah¬ mebehältnis zwei gegenüberliegende Griffmulden aufweist. Die Handhabung wird dadurch wesentlich vereinfacht, da das Behältnis dann von einem Benutzer mit der Hand umgriffen werden und durch gleichzeitigen beidseitigen Druck kompri¬ miert werden kann, um dosiert Produkt entnehmen zu können.It is particularly expedient if the product receptacle has two recessed grips. Handling is considerably simplified because the container is then gripped by a user by hand and can be compressed by simultaneous pressure on both sides in order to be able to take out dosed product.
In einer alternativen Ausgestaltungsform sieht die Erfin¬ dung vorteilhaft vor, daß das Produktaufnahmebehältnis querschnittlich oval ausgebildet ist. Ein derartiges ovales fließgepreßtes Aluminiumprofil weist zur Formstabilität noch eine ausreichende Festigkeit auf und ermöglicht bei guter Rückstellbarkeit ein leichtes Zusammendrücken der beiden gegenüberliegenden länglichen Wandflächenbereiche.In an alternative embodiment, the invention advantageously provides that the product receptacle is of oval cross-section. An oval extruded aluminum profile of this type still has sufficient strength to maintain its shape and, with good resilience, enables the two opposite elongated wall surface areas to be pressed together slightly.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die verschließbare Dosierspitze des Produktaufnahmebe¬ hältnisses aus Aluminium oder Polyethylen besteht, wobei diese Dosierspitze in bekannter Weise zum Austrittsende hin spitz zulaufend ausgebildet sein kann. Der Verschluß kann dabei z.B. von einer Kunststoffkappe gebildet und auf¬ schraubbar ausgebildet sein. Es steht dann eine zuverlässig dicht schließende Verpackung zur Verfügung.In an advantageous embodiment, it is further provided that the closable metering tip of the product receptacle is made of aluminum or polyethylene, whereby this metering tip can be made tapering towards the outlet end in a known manner. The closure can e.g. formed by a plastic cap and designed to be screwed on. Reliable, tightly closing packaging is then available.
Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung bei¬ spielsweise näher erläutert. Diese zeigt inThe invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in
Fig. 1 in perspektivischer Darstellung eine erfindungs¬ gemäße Verpackung nach einer ersten Ausführungs¬ form, Fig. 2 die Verpackung nach Fig. 1 in einer Seitenansicht und1 is a perspective view of a packaging according to the invention according to a first embodiment, Fig. 2 shows the packaging of Fig. 1 in a side view
Fig. 3 in perspektivischer Darstellung eine Ausführungs¬ variante einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung.3 shows a perspective view of an embodiment variant of a packaging according to the invention.
Eine Verpackung für fließfähige Produkte, insbesondere für fließfähige Klebstoffe, ist in der Zeichnung allgemein mit 1 bezeichnet.Packaging for flowable products, in particular for flowable adhesives, is generally designated 1 in the drawing.
Diese Verpackung weist ein Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 auf, welches am oberen Ende mit einer in der Zeichnung nicht er kennbaren Austrittsöffnung versehen ist. Dabei kann die Austrittsöffnung mit einer Membran verschlossen sein, die zur Produktabgabe vor der ersten Anwendung durchstoßen wird. Im Bereich dieser Austrittsöffnung ist am Produktauf nahmebehältnis 2 eine verschließbare Dosierspitze 3 be¬ festigt, die beispielsweise mit einem Außengewinde 4 zum Aufschrauben einer nicht dargestellten Verschlußkappe ver¬ sehen ist und zum freien Austrittsende 5 hin spitz zuläuftThis packaging has a product receptacle 2, which is provided at the upper end with an outlet opening not recognizable in the drawing. The outlet opening can be closed with a membrane which is pierced before the first use for product delivery. In the area of this outlet opening, a closable metering tip 3 is fastened to the product receptacle 2, which is provided, for example, with an external thread 4 for screwing on a closure cap (not shown) and tapers towards the free outlet end 5
Das Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 ist erfindungsgemäß von ei¬ nem fließgepreßten röhrchenförmigen Aluminiumgebinde gebil det. Ein derartiges Gebinde ist nach dem Fließpressen sehr hart und läßt eine gewisse Deformation mit Rückstellveπnö- gen zu. Da die querschnittlich kreisförmige Form jedoch sehr formstabil ist und eine leichte Deformation zur Pro¬ duktentnahme schwer ermöglicht, sind im Bereich der Wand¬ fläche des Produktaufnahmebehältnisses 2 zwei gegenüberlie¬ gende Griff ulden 6 eingeprägt. Durch Druck auf diese Griffmulden 6 in Richtung der Pfeile 7 ist es möglich, das Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 leicht einzudrücken, so daß in geringer und damit genau dosierbarer Menge fließfähiges Produkt durch die Dosierspitze 3 austreten kann. Nach Druckentlastung gelangen die Griffmulden 6 aufgrund des Rückstellvermögens des Aluminiumgebindes in ihre Ausgangs¬ position zurück.According to the invention, the product receptacle 2 is formed by an extruded tubular aluminum container. Such a container is very hard after extrusion and leaves a certain deformation with restoring towards. However, since the cross-sectionally circular shape is very dimensionally stable and difficult to easily deform to remove the product, two opposing handles 6 are embossed in the area of the wall surface of the product receptacle 2. By pressing these recessed grips 6 in the direction of the arrows 7, it is possible to slightly press in the product receptacle 2 so that flowable product can escape through the metering tip 3 in a small and thus precisely meterable amount. After relieving pressure, the recessed grips 6 return to their starting position due to the resilience of the aluminum container.
Aufgrund der begrenzten Deformierbarkeit des Behältnisses 2 steht somit eine formstabile Verpackung zur Verfügung, die gleichzeitig eine exakte Dosierung ermöglicht, da jeweils bei einer Druckanwendung nur geringe Produktmengen austre¬ ten können. Dabei ist aufgrund der Formstabilität der Ver¬ packung gleichzeitig gewährleistet, daß diese genaue Dosie¬ rung unabhängig vom Füllstand der Verpackung gegeben ist.Due to the limited deformability of the container 2, dimensionally stable packaging is thus available which at the same time enables exact dosing, since only small quantities of product can escape in each case when pressure is applied. At the same time, the dimensional stability of the packaging ensures that this exact dosage is given regardless of the filling level of the packaging.
Vorzugsweise besteht die Dosierspitze 3 aus Aluminium oder einem festen Polyethylen, wobei die nicht dargestellte Ver¬ schlußkappe ebenfalls beispielsweise aus Polyethylen beste¬ hen kann. Es steht dann eine stabile und dichte Verpackung zur Verfügung, die auch für wasserempfindliche Klebstoffe, z.B. für Cyanacrylat und lösungsmittelhaltigeProdukte geeig¬ net ist.The dosing tip 3 is preferably made of aluminum or a solid polyethylene, and the sealing cap (not shown) can also consist of polyethylene, for example. Stable and tight packaging is then available, which is also suitable for water-sensitive adhesives, For example, it is suitable for cyanoacrylate and solvent-based products.
An der Unterseite des Verpackungsbehältnisses kann zur Be- füllung ein dichtend einprellbarer Verschlußstopfen 8 ange¬ ordnet sein, der beispielsweise aus Polyethylen oder ande¬ ren geeigneten Materialien bestehen kann.On the underside of the packaging container, a sealing plug, which can be pushed in, can be arranged for the filling, which can consist, for example, of polyethylene or other suitable materials.
Fig. 3 zeigt ein anderes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfin¬ dungsgemäßen Verpackung, wobei dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Fig. 1 verwendet sind, sofern gleiche bzw. ähnliche Tei¬ le bezeichnet werden.FIG. 3 shows another exemplary embodiment of a packaging according to the invention, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 being used if the same or similar parts are designated.
Die Verpackung 1 weist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein aus Aluminium bestehendes Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 auf, das querschnittlich oval ausgebildet ist. Aufgrund dieser ovalen Ausbildung sind eingeprägte Griffmulden wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 und 2 nicht notwendig, die ovale Ausbildung ermöglicht bei Druckanwendung auf die mit 9 gekennzeichneten länglichen Wandflächenbereiche eine aus¬ reichende Komprimierung des Behältnisses bei noch für eine einfache Handhabung ausreichend geringer Druckanwendung, wobei gleichzeitig eine Rückstellung der entsprechenden Wandflächen nach Druckentlastung gewährleistet ist. Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind möglich, ohne den Grundgedanken zu ver¬ lassen. So kann selbstverständlich die Querschnittform des Produktaufnahmebehältnisses auch noch anders gewählt wer¬ den, sofern gewährleistet ist, daß bei einer äußeren Druck¬ einwirkung eine nur geringe Eindrückung der betreffenden Wandfläche und eine vollständige Rückstellung derselben bei Druckentlastung gegeben ist und dgl. mehr. In this exemplary embodiment, the packaging 1 has a product receptacle 2 made of aluminum, which is oval in cross section. Due to this oval design, embossed recessed grips as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 are not necessary; the oval design, when pressure is applied to the elongated wall surface areas marked with 9, enables the container to be adequately compressed while pressure is still low enough for easy handling, at the same time a provision of the corresponding wall surfaces after pressure relief is guaranteed. Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Further refinements of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea. Thus, of course, the cross-sectional shape of the product receptacle can also be selected differently, provided that it is ensured that the external wall pressure causes only a slight indentation of the wall surface in question and that it is completely reset when the pressure is released, and the like.
