Definitions
- the invention relates to packaging for flowable products with a product receptacle and with a closable metering tip fastened in the area of the outlet opening of the receptacle, the product receptacle being provided at least in some areas with a wall surface which can be pressed in under external pressure and which resets when pressure is released.
- Such packaging 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 escapes through the opened dosing tip.
- This known packaging is sufficient for many applications. A precise dosage of the amount of adhesive to be applied is only possible if the user exerts a very precisely measured pressure on the packaging. In practice, this is only possible with great difficulty in the known packaging of the type mentioned at the beginning with different filling levels.
- tubular packaging for such adhesives made of soft metal are known.
- the adhesive emerges under pressure on the tube, the main disadvantage being that the tube-shaped packaging remains in its pressed-in position after the pressure has been exerted and in particular after it has been emptied, which makes handling particularly easy difficult if the packaging is no longer fully filled. In this case, the stability of the packaging is also impaired.
- the same problem arises as with known plastic bottle packaging, since even with this tubular metal packaging it is not possible to achieve an exact dosage.
- EP-A-0 061 522 describes a tube made of plastic which has a membrane-like area which is intended to enable a precisely metered, portion-by-portion emptying.
- the object of the invention is to provide a dimensionally stable and extremely water vapor-tight packaging with which an exact dropwise metering is possible regardless of the fill level.
- the product receptacle is formed from an extruded tubular or tubular aluminum container and is of circular cross-section, with at least one resiliently depressible handle recess being formed in the cylindrical wall surface and a sealing plug on the underside, especially made of polyethylene, is used sealingly.
- 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 containers are very hard after extrusion and have a certain deformation Allow resilience. Since the deformation that can be applied from the outside is limited by the user's hand at normal pressure, only a small amount of product can escape at any one time, 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 only slight deformation, dimensionally stable packaging is available regardless of the filling condition. This packaging is also very leak-proof, in particular water vapor-tight, so that it is particularly suitable for flowable adhesives, in particular for cyanoacrylate.
- the circular extruded aluminum container is almost completely dimensionally stable and cannot be easily pushed in.
- the required impressionability for dosing is therefore provided by the at least one embossed recessed grip.
- the product receptacle has two recessed grips. Handling is considerably simplified because the container can then be gripped by a user by hand and can be compressed by simultaneous pressure on both sides in order to be able to dispense dosed product.
- the closable dosing tip of the product receptacle consists of aluminum or polyethylene, wherein this dosing tip can be made tapering to the outlet end in a known manner.
- the closure can z. B. formed by a plastic cap and screwed. Reliable, tightly closing packaging is then available.
- Packaging for flowable products in particular for flowable adhesives, is generally designated 1 in the drawing.
- This packaging has a product receptacle 2 which is provided at the upper end with an outlet opening which cannot be seen in the drawing.
- the outlet opening can be closed with a membrane which is pierced before the first use for product delivery.
- 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.
- the product receptacle 2 is formed by an extruded tubular aluminum container.
- a container is very hard after extrusion and leaves a certain deformation with resilience to.
- two opposite recessed grips 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.
- the metering tip 3 is preferably made of aluminum or a solid polyethylene, and the closure 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, is suitable for cyanoacrylate and solvent-based products.
- a fillable sealing plug 8 can be arranged on the underside of the packaging container for filling, which can be made of polyethylene or other suitable materials, for example.
- 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.
- 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 enables sufficient compression of the container when pressure is applied to the elongated wall surface areas marked with 9, with pressure application that is still sufficiently low for easy handling, at the same time a provision of the corresponding wall surfaces after pressure relief is guaranteed.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Further refinements of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea. So of course, the cross-sectional shape of the product receptacle can also be chosen differently, provided that it is ensured that there is only a slight indentation of the wall surface in question and complete resetting of the same when the pressure is relieved, and the like.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für fließfähige Produkte mit einem Produktaufnahmebehältnis und mit einer im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung des Aufnahmebehältnisses befestigten verschließbaren Dosierspitze, wobei das Produktaufnahmebehältnis wenigstens bereichsweise mit einer bei äußerer Druckeinwirkung eindrückbaren und bei Druckentlastung rückstellenden Wandfläche versehen ist.The invention relates to packaging for flowable products with a product receptacle and with a closable metering tip fastened in the area of the outlet opening of the receptacle, the product receptacle being provided at least in some areas with a wall surface which can be pressed in under external pressure and which resets when pressure is released.
Derartige Verpackungen, insbesondere für fließfähige Klebstoffe, 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 Dosierspitze austritt. Diese bekannte Verpackung ist zwar für viele Anwendungszwecke ausreichend. Eine genaue Dosierung der auszubringenden Klebstoffmenge ist jedoch nur dann möglich, wenn der Benutzer einen ganz genau dosierten Druck auf die Verpackung ausübt. Dies ist in der Praxis bei den bekannten Verpackungen der eingangs genannten Art bei unterschiedlichen Füllgraden nur sehr schwer möglich.Such packaging, 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 escapes through the opened dosing tip. This known packaging is sufficient for many applications. A precise dosage of the amount of adhesive to be applied is only possible if the user exerts a very precisely measured pressure on the packaging. In practice, this is only possible with great difficulty in the known packaging of the type mentioned at the beginning with different filling levels.
Darüber hinaus sind tubenförmige Verpackungen für derartige Klebstoffe aus weichem Metall bekannt. Dabei tritt der Klebstoff bei Druck auf die Tube aus, wobei von wesentlichem Nachteil ist, daß die tubenförmige Verpackung nach der Druckausübung und insbesondere nach fortschreitender Entleerung in ihrer eingedrückten Position verbleibt, was die Handhabung insbesondere dann erschwert, wenn die Verpackung nicht mehr voll gefüllt ist. Außerdem ist in diesem Fall die Stabilität der Verpackung beeinträchtigt. Darüber hinaus stellt sich dasselbe Problem wie bei bekannten Kunststoffflaschenverpackungen, da auch mit dieser tubenförmigen Metallverpackung keine genaue Dosierung erreichbar ist.In addition, tubular packaging for such adhesives made of soft metal are known. The adhesive emerges under pressure on the tube, the main disadvantage being that the tube-shaped packaging remains in its pressed-in position after the pressure has been exerted and in particular after it has been emptied, which makes handling particularly easy difficult if the packaging is no longer fully filled. In this case, 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 it is not possible to achieve an exact dosage.
Aus der DE-A-2 639 952 ist eine Tube aus Aluminium mit einem steifen, eine Ausdrückwiederlagerfläche bildenden Bereich bekannt. Diese Tube hat jedoch keine sich rückstellenden Wandflächen.From DE-A-2 639 952 a tube made of aluminum with a stiff area forming an expression repositioning surface is known. However, this tube has no resettable wall surfaces.
Ferner wird in der EP-A-0 061 522 eine Tube aus Kunststoff beschrieben, die einen membranartigen Bereich aufweist, der eine genau dosierte, portionsweise Entleerung ermöglichen soll.Furthermore, EP-A-0 061 522 describes a tube made of plastic which has a membrane-like area which is intended to enable a precisely metered, portion-by-portion emptying.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine formstabile und äußerst wasserdampfdichte Verpackung zu schaffen, mit der unabhängig vom Füllstand eine exakte tropfenweise Dosierung möglich ist.The object of the invention is to provide a dimensionally stable and extremely water vapor-tight packaging with which an exact dropwise metering is possible regardless of the fill level.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Verpackung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Produktaufnahmebehältnis von einem fließgepreßten röhrchen- oder tubenförmigen Aluminiumgebinde gebildet und querschnittlich kreisförmig ausgebildet ist, wobei in der zylindrischen Wandfläche wenigstens eine elastisch eindrückbare Griffmulde ausgebildet und an der Unterseite ein Verschlußstopfen, insbesondere aus Polyethylen, dichtend eingesetzt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention with a packaging of the type mentioned at the outset in that the product receptacle is formed from an extruded tubular or tubular aluminum container and is of circular cross-section, with at least one resiliently depressible handle recess being formed in the cylindrical wall surface and a sealing plug on the underside, especially made of polyethylene, is used sealingly.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird eine formstabile Verpackung zur Verfügung gestellt, die gleichzeitig auch eine genaue Dosierung bei Druckanwendung von außen ermöglicht. Es hat sich nämlich herausgestellt, daß derartige Aluminiumgebinde nach dem Fließpressen sehr hart sind und eine gewisse Deformation mit Rückstellvermögen zulassen. Da die von außen aufbringbare Deformation bei normalem Druck durch die Benutzerhand begrenzt ist, kann nur eine geringe Produktmenge jeweils austreten, so daß eine genaue Dosierung möglich ist. Da außerdem aufgrund des Rückstellvermögens und der nur geringen Deformation die komprimierte Wandfläche nach der Druckausübung in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückgelangt, steht unabhängig vom Füllzustand eine formstabile Verpackung zur Verfügung. Diese Verpackung ist darüber hinaus sehr dicht, insbesondere wasserdampfdicht, so daß sie für fließfähige Klebstoffe, insbesondere für Cyanacrylat, besonders geeignet ist.With the solution according to the invention, 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 containers are very hard after extrusion and have a certain deformation Allow resilience. Since the deformation that can be applied from the outside is limited by the user's hand at normal pressure, only a small amount of product can escape at any one time, 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 only slight deformation, dimensionally stable packaging is available regardless of the filling condition. This packaging is also very leak-proof, in particular water vapor-tight, so that it is particularly suitable for flowable adhesives, in particular for cyanoacrylate.
Das kreisförmige fließgepreßte Aluminiumgebinde ist nahezu völlig formstabil und läßt sich nicht ohne weiteres eindrücken. Die erforderliche Eindrückbarkeit zur Dosierung wird deshalb durch die wenigstens eine eingeprägte Griffmulde bereitgestellt.The circular extruded aluminum container is almost completely dimensionally stable and cannot be easily pushed in. The required impressionability for dosing is therefore provided by the at least one embossed recessed grip.
Dabei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn das Produktaufnahmebehältnis 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 komprimiert 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 can then be gripped by a user by hand and can be compressed by simultaneous pressure on both sides in order to be able to dispense dosed product.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die verschließbare Dosierspitze des Produktaufnahmebehältnisses 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 aufschraubbar ausgebildet sein. Es steht dann eine zuverlässig dicht schließende Verpackung zur Verfügung.In an advantageous embodiment, it is further provided that the closable dosing tip of the product receptacle consists of aluminum or polyethylene, wherein this dosing tip can be made tapering to the outlet end in a known manner. The closure can z. B. formed by a plastic cap and screwed. Reliable, tightly closing packaging is then available.

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 erkennbaren 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 Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 eine verschließbare Dosierspitze 3 befestigt, die beispielsweise mit einem Außengewinde 4 zum Aufschrauben einer nicht dargestellten Verschlußkappe versehen ist und zum freien Austrittsende 5 hin spitz zuläuft.This packaging has a
Das Produktaufnahmebehältnis 2 ist erfindungsgemäß von einem fließgepreßten röhrchenförmigen Aluminiumgebinde gebildet. Ein derartiges Gebinde ist nach dem Fließpressen sehr hart und läßt eine gewisse Deformation mit Rückstellvermögen zu. Da die querschnittlich kreisförmige Form jedoch sehr formstabil ist und eine leichte Deformation zur Produktentnahme schwer ermöglicht, sind im Bereich der Wandfläche des Produktaufnahmebehältnisses 2 zwei gegenüberliegende Griffmulden 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 Ausgangsposition zurück.According to the invention, the
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 austreten können. Dabei ist aufgrund der Formstabilität der Verpackung gleichzeitig gewährleistet, daß diese genaue Dosierung unabhängig vom Füllstand der Verpackung gegeben ist.Due to the limited deformability of the
Vorzugsweise besteht die Dosierspitze 3 aus Aluminium oder einem festen Polyethylen, wobei die nicht dargestellte Verschlußkappe ebenfalls beispielsweise aus Polyethylen bestehen kann. Es steht dann eine stabile und dichte Verpackung zur Verfügung, die auch für wasserempfindliche Klebstoffe, z.B. für Cyanacrylat und lösungsmittelhaltige Produkte geeignet ist.The
An der Unterseite des Verpackungsbehältnisses kann zur Befüllung ein dichtend einprellbarer Verschlußstopfen 8 angeordnet sein, der beispielsweise aus Polyethylen oder anderen geeigneten Materialien bestehen kann.A
Fig. 3 zeigt ein anderes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung, wobei dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Fig. 1 verwendet sind, sofern gleiche bzw. ähnliche Teile 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 ausreichende Komprimierung des Behältnisses bei noch für eine einfache Handhabung ausreichend geringer Druckanwendung, wobei gleichzeitig eine Rückstellung der entsprechenden Wandflächen nach Druckentlastung gewährleistet ist.In this exemplary embodiment, the packaging 1 has a
Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind möglich, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So kann selbstverständlich die Querschnittform des Produktaufnahmebehältnisses auch noch anders gewählt werden, sofern gewährleistet ist, daß bei einer äußeren Druckeinwirkung eine nur geringe Eindrückung der betreffenden Wandfläche und eine vollständige Rückstellung derselben bei Druckentlastung gegeben ist und dgl. mehr.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. Further refinements of the invention are possible without leaving the basic idea. So of course, the cross-sectional shape of the product receptacle can also be chosen differently, provided that it is ensured that there is only a slight indentation of the wall surface in question and complete resetting of the same when the pressure is relieved, and the like.
