Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter für gasdichte Verpackungen gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container for gas-tight packaging according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bisher erfolgte die gasdichte Verpackung, z.B. von kohlesäurehaltigen Getränken, entweder in Glasbehältern oder in tiefgezogenen, zylindrischen Belchbehältern. Diese Behälter haben den Vorteil, dass sie auch den für eine Sterilisierung des Behälterinhaltes erforderlichen Temperaturen von 130 bis 140°C aussetzbar sind, sie beanspruchen jedoch für ihren Transport vom Hersteller zum Abfüller ein verhältnismässig grosses Transportvolumen, da sie nicht stapelbar sind. Versuche mit Kunststoffbehältern, z.B. aus Polyester, das auch ohne Verformung erhöhten Temperaturen ausgesetzt werden kann, haben gezeigt, dass deren Gasdichtigkeit nicht ausreicht, um über einen längeren Zeitraum einen erhöhten Gasinnendruck aufrechtzuerhalten, wie es für die Abfüllung z.B. von kohlesäurehaltigen Getränken erforderlich ist. Gebrauchte gasdichte Behälter bekannter Art bilden ausserdem eine Belastung von Abfallbeseitugungssystemen.Up to now, gas-tight packaging, for example of carbonated beverages, has been carried out either in glass containers or in deep-drawn, cylindrical sheet metal containers. These containers have the advantage that they can also be exposed to the temperatures of 130 to 140 ° C required for sterilizing the contents of the container, but they require a relatively large transport volume for their transport from the manufacturer to the bottler, since they cannot be stacked. Experiments with plastic containers, e.g. made of polyester, which can be exposed to elevated temperatures even without deformation, have shown that their gas tightness is not sufficient to maintain an elevated gas pressure over a longer period of time, as is required for the filling of, for example, carbonated drinks. Used gas-tight containers of known type also put a burden on waste disposal systems.

Durch die DE-A 1 925 977 ist ein nicht vollständig gasdichter Behälter der eingangsgenannten Art bekannt, dessen Aussenbehälter aus Schaumstoff und dessen Innenbehälter aus einer nahtlosen Kunststoffschicht besteht. Mit Kunststoffmaterial ist jedoch nur eine begrenzte Gasdichtigkeit und Lichtundurchlässigkeit erzielbar.From DE-A 1 925 977 a not completely gastight container of the type mentioned is known, the outer container of which is made of foam and the inner container of which is made of a seamless plastic layer. However, only limited gas-tightness and opacity can be achieved with plastic material.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der genannten Art zu finden, der im wesentlichen aus rückstandslos verbrennbarem Material besteht und bei ausreichender mechanischer Widerstandsfähigkeit, insbesondere gegenüber bleibender Verformung, z.B. aufgrund von Transportbelastungen, eine ausreichende Gasdichtigkeit aufweist und der ausserdem eine thermische Sterilisierung seines Inhalts ermöglicht. Weiterhin soll der Behälter vor seinem Füllen stapelbar sein.The invention has for its object to find a container of the type mentioned, which consists essentially of residue-free combustible material and with sufficient mechanical resistance, in particular against permanent deformation, e.g. due to transport loads, has sufficient gas tightness and which also enables thermal sterilization of its contents. Furthermore, the container should be stackable before it is filled.

Die Lösung der genannten Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäss aufgrund der kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved on the basis of the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Vorzugsweise besteht der Innenbehälter aus einer kunststoffbeschichteten Aluminiumfolie, wobei die äussere Kunststoffschicht mit dem Material des Aussenbehälters verschweissbar ist, falls dieser ebenfalls aus Kunststoff besteht oder mit diesem durch Kleben verbunden ist, falls er aus einem anderen Material, wie z.B. Karton besteht. Einschliesslich der Kunststoffbeschichtung beträgt die Dicke der genannten Folie weniger als 0,15 mm und die Aluminiumschicht selbst vorzugsweise weniger als 0,02 mm.The inner container preferably consists of a plastic-coated aluminum foil, the outer plastic layer being weldable to the material of the outer container if the latter is also made of plastic or is connected to it by adhesive if it is made of another material, e.g. Cardboard consists. Including the plastic coating, the thickness of the film mentioned is less than 0.15 mm and the aluminum layer itself is preferably less than 0.02 mm.

Der aus einem Folienzuschnitt hergestellte Innenbehälter gewährleistet die Dichtigkeit des Behälters sowie den Lichtschutz des Behälterinhalts. Die Kunststoffbeschichtung der Aluminiumfolie trägt zu dieser Dichtigkeit bei und schützt ausserdem die Aluminiumschicht vor Korrosion. Die Ueberlappungsnähte des Innenbehälters sind vorzugsweise in an sich bekannter Weise so ausgeführt, dass jeweils die gleichartigen Beschichtungen der Folie miteinander verschweist sind. Dies ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Innenschicht zuvor nach aussen gefaltet wird, bevor der Ueberlappungsrand zum Verschweissen darüber gelegt wird. Somit ergibt sich entlang der Ueberlappungsnähte eine dreifache Schichtdicke. Bei Innendruckbelastung des Behälters werden diese Schichten an der Naht gegeneinander gepresst, so dass die Zuverlässigkeit der Abdichtung dort noch erhöht wird.The inner container made from a film cut ensures the tightness of the container and the light protection of the container contents. The plastic coating of the aluminum foil contributes to this tightness and also protects the aluminum layer from corrosion. The overlap seams of the inner container are preferably designed in a manner known per se so that the same coatings of the film are welded to one another. This results from the fact that the inner layer is first folded outwards before the overlap edge is placed over it for welding. This results in a triple layer thickness along the overlap seams. When the container is subjected to internal pressure, these layers are pressed against each other at the seam, so that the reliability of the seal is increased there.

Dadurch, dass der die Aluminiumschicht aufweisende Innenbehälter besonders dünnwandig ist, sind bleibende Verformungen unter äusserer örtlicher Druckanwendung und elastischer Verformung des Aussenbehälters nicht möglich. Der Aussenbehälter bewirkt die Stabilität des Behälters und schützt den Innenbehälter vor Beschädigungen, die eine Undichtigkeit verursachen könnten.The fact that the inner container having the aluminum layer is particularly thin-walled means that permanent deformations under external local pressure application and elastic deformation of the outer container are not possible. The outer container ensures the stability of the container and protects the inner container from damage that could cause a leak.

Für die dekorative Ausstattung des Behälters können vorzugsweise die Zuschnitte für den Innenbehälter und somit der Innenbehälter bedruckt sein, falls der gespritze oder tiefgezogene Aussenbehälter aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polypropylen, hergestellt wird. Der Aussenbehälter kann jedoch selbst die Bedruckung aufweisen und beispielsweise aus Karton hergestellt sein, wie an sich durch die CH-PS 647 453 bekannt ist.For the decorative equipment of the container, the blanks for the inner container and thus the inner container can preferably be printed if the injection-molded or deep-drawn outer container is made of transparent plastic, for example polypropylene. However, the outer container itself can have the printing and, for example, be made of cardboard, as is known per se from CH-PS 647 453.

Der Verschluss des Behälters nach seiner Befüllung kann je nach Verwendungszweck, z.B. als Trinkbehälter, durch einen verhältnismässig steifen, gasdichten Deckel erfolgen, der mit dem Behälterflansch, z.B. durch Bördeln oder Schweissen, verbunden wird. Beispielsweise ist der Behälterdeckel, ähnlich wie bei Blechdosen, aus Blech mit einem Aufreissverschluss hergestellt, oder er ist, ähnlich wie der übrige Behälterteil, mehrschichtig ausgeführt, mit einem die Dichtigkeit gewährleistenden dünnen Folienteil und einem mit diesem verbundenen steifen Deckteil. Ein Behälterverschluss aus Blech ist beispielsweise durch die US-PS 3 190 485 bekannt.The closure of the container after it has been filled can, depending on the intended use, e.g. as a drinking container, through a relatively stiff, gas-tight lid, which is connected to the container flange, e.g. by flanging or welding. For example, the container lid is made of sheet metal with a zipper, similar to tin cans, or, like the rest of the container part, it is made of multiple layers, with a thin film part ensuring tightness and a rigid cover part connected to it. A container closure made of sheet metal is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,190,485.

Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemässen Behälters mit zwei Beispielen für die Ausführung einer Ueberlappungsnaht, dabei zeigt:

  • Fig.1 einen Axialschnitt durch den Behälter ohne Deckel,
  • Fig.2 einen vergrösserten Teilquerschnitt im Bereich des Oeffnungsrandes des Behälters nach Fig.1,
  • Fig.3 einen Teilquerschnitt durch den Innenbehälter im Bereich einer entlang einer Mantellinie verlaufenden Ueberlappungsnaht,
  • Fig.4 eine Darstellung entsprechend Fig.3 mit einer anders ausgeführten Ueberlappungsnaht,
  • Fig.5 und 6 einfache Ueberlappungen im Verbindungsbereich zwischen dem Mantel und dem Boden des Innenbehälters, bevor diese gegen den Mantel oder den Boden gedrückt werden, zur Herstellung der Ueberlappungsverbindung und
  • Fig.7 einen Teilquerschnitt durch einen Behälter im Bereich des Uebergangs zwischen Mantel und Boden mit einer schematischen Darstellung der aufgrund der einfachen Ueberlappung nach Fig.6 hergestellten Ueberlappungsverbindung.
The drawing shows an embodiment of a container according to the invention with two examples for the execution of an overlap seam, showing:
  • 1 shows an axial section through the container without a lid,
  • 2 shows an enlarged partial cross section in the region of the opening edge of the container according to FIG. 1,
  • 3 shows a partial cross section through the inner container in the region of an overlap seam running along a surface line,
  • 4 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 3 with a differently designed overlap seam,
  • 5 and 6 simple overlaps in the connection area between the jacket and the bottom of the inner container, before they are pressed against the jacket or the bottom, to produce the overlap connection and
  • 7 shows a partial cross section through a container in the region of the transition between the jacket and the bottom with a schematic representation of the overlap connection produced on the basis of the simple overlap according to FIG.

Der dargestellte Behälter 1 hat einen verhältnismässig steifen Aussenbehälter 2, der die Behälterformstabilität bestimmt und den innen an ihm anliegenden sehr dünnwandigen und entsprechend flexiblen Innenbehälter 3 gegen Beschädigung schützt. Der Aussenbehälter 2 kann durch Spritzgiessen aus Kunststoff, z.B. Polypropylen, Tiefziehen oder Wickeln aus Kartonmaterial separat hergestellt sein, so dass der in jedem Fall separat aus Folienzuschnitten hergestellte Innenbehälter nachträglich in ihn eingefügt und mit ihm durch Kleben oder Verschweissen zumindest enlang der Randflansche 4,4' verbunden wird. Vorzugsweise wird jedoch der vorgefertigte Innenbehälter 3 in eine Spritzgiessform eingelegt und der Aussenbehälter 2 durch Spritzgiessen unmittelbar an den Innenbehälter 3 angeformt, so dass er mit dessen dünnen Kunststoffschicht verschweisst. Somit bildet der Innenbehälter 3 eine Behälterauskleidung.The container 1 shown has a relatively rigid outer container 2, which determines the shape stability of the container and protects the very thin-walled and correspondingly flexible inner container 3 lying against it from damage. The outer container 2 can be injection molded from plastic, e.g. Polypropylene, deep-drawing or winding from cardboard material must be made separately, so that the inner container, which is in each case made separately from film blanks, is subsequently inserted into it and connected to it by gluing or welding at least along the edge flanges 4, 4 '. However, the prefabricated inner container 3 is preferably placed in an injection mold and the outer container 2 is directly molded onto the inner container 3 by injection molding, so that it is welded to its thin plastic layer. The inner container 3 thus forms a container lining.

Die Wanddicke des Aussenbehälters 2, die z.B. 0,5 mm oder mehr beträgt, ist im wesentlichen durch die Festigkeitsanforderungen an den Behälter 1 bestimmt. Bei seiner Materialwahl ist die Gasdurchlässigkeit unwesentlich, so dass andere Gesichtspunkte, wie Umweltfreundlichkeit und/oder Preisgünstigkeit bevorzugt werden können. Der Innenbehälter hingegen besteht aus einer dünnnen Folie von vorzugsweise weniger als 0,02 mm Dicke, deren Materialwahl in erster Linie durch die Anforderung an sehr hohe Gasdichtigkeit bestimmt ist. Entsprechend ist ein verhältnismässig hochwertiges Material, wie z.B. kunststoffbeschichtete Aluminiumfolie, zu wählen, das jedoch nur in sehr geringer Quantität benötigt wird. Die minimale Dicke ist im wesentlichen durch die Verarbeitbarkeit zu einem Innenbehälter 3 bestimmt, so dass dieser aus Zuschnitten für seinen Mantelteil 8 und seinen Bodenteil 7 hergestellt wird, indem die Verbindungsnähte zur Herstellung des Raumgebildes durch gasdichte Ueberlappungsnähte 5, 5', 13 gebildet werden. Aussen ist die Folie des Innenbehälter 3 mit einem Material dünn beschichtet, das mit dem Material des Aussenbehälters, z.B. Polypropylen, leicht verschweisst. Die andere, innere Seite der Folie ist durch üblichen Thermolack beschichtet, um die Nahtverbindungen 5, 5', 13 durch Heissiegeln einfach herstellen zu können.The wall thickness of the outer container 2, which e.g. Is 0.5 mm or more, is essentially determined by the strength requirements for the container 1. When choosing the material, the gas permeability is immaterial, so that other aspects, such as environmental friendliness and / or cost-effectiveness, can be preferred. The inner container, on the other hand, consists of a thin film, preferably less than 0.02 mm thick, whose choice of material is primarily determined by the requirement for very high gas tightness. Accordingly, a relatively high quality material, such as plastic-coated aluminum foil to choose, but this is only required in very small quantities. The minimum thickness is essentially determined by the processability into an inner container 3, so that this is produced from blanks for its jacket part 8 and its bottom part 7 by the connecting seams for producing the spatial structure being formed by gas-tight overlap seams 5, 5 ', 13. The outside of the film of the inner container 3 is thinly coated with a material which is compatible with the material of the outer container, e.g. Polypropylene, slightly welded. The other, inner side of the film is coated with conventional thermal lacquer in order to be able to easily produce the seam connections 5, 5 ', 13 by heat sealing.

Die Fig.3 und 4 zeigen zwei Beispiele für eine überlappende Verbindung entlang der in Richtung einer Mantellinie verlaufenden Mantelnaht 5 bzw. 5', derart, dass entlang der Naht 5,5' jeweils Innenschichten der Folie aufeinander liegen und miteinander verschweisst sind. Im Beispiel nach Fig.3 ist ausserdem ein Folienrand 11 vorhanden, der sich in Umfangsrichtung über den umgefalzten Folienteil 10 fortsetzt, so dass zusätzlich auch ein Kontakt mit Verschweissung, Verkelbung oder auch nur mit einfacher Auflage zwischen der Innenbeschichtung und Aussenbeschichtung der Folie entlang dem Folienrand vorhanden ist.3 and 4 show two examples of an overlapping connection along the casing seam 5 or 5 'running in the direction of a casing line, such that the inner layers of the film lie one on top of the other and are welded together along the seam 5,5'. In the example according to FIG. 3, there is also a film edge 11 which continues in the circumferential direction over the folded-over film part 10, so that in addition there is also contact with welding, bonding or even with a simple contact between the inner coating and the outer coating of the film along the film edge is available.

Die Fig.5 und 6 zeigen für zwei verschiedene Anordnungen einer überlappenden Verbindungsnaht 13 die anfängliche einfache Ueberlappung, bevor diese beim Beispiel nach Fig.5 gegen den Mantelteil 8 des Innenbehälters 3 und beim Beispiel nach Fig. 6 gegen den Bodenteil 7 des Innenbehälters 3 umgelegt wird, um in dieser Endposition verschweisst zu werden. Wie beim Ausführungsbeisiel nach Fig.3 einer Mantelnaht, ist bei den Ausführungsbeispielen der Fig.5 und 6 ebenfalls ein Folienrand 11',11" vorhanden, der sich in Endposition über den umgefalzten Folienteil 10' fortsetzt.5 and 6 show the initial simple overlap for two different arrangements of an overlapping connecting seam 13 before it is folded against the jacket part 8 of the inner container 3 in the example according to FIG. 5 and against the bottom part 7 of the inner container 3 in the example according to FIG. 6 to be welded in this end position. As in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 of a jacket seam, in the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 5 and 6 there is also a film edge 11 ′, 11 ″ which continues in the end position over the folded-over film part 10 ′.

Durch einen verhältnismässig breiten Ueberlappungsbereich 10,10' sowie die Umfalzung der aneinanderliegenden Folienteile gegen die Wand des Innenbehälters 3, d.h. gegen den Mantelteil 8 oder den Bodenteil 7 ergibt sich eine zuverlässige Abdichtung entlang der Nähte 5, 5', 13, die noch dadurch unterstützt wird, dass der Innendruck des gefüllten Behälters 1 die Ueberlappungsnähte komprimiert.Due to a relatively wide overlap area 10, 10 'and the folding of the foil parts lying against one another against the wall of the inner container 3, i.e. against the jacket part 8 or the bottom part 7 there is a reliable seal along the seams 5, 5 ', 13, which is further supported by the fact that the internal pressure of the filled container 1 compresses the overlap seams.

Obwohl der Anteil an Aluminium bei Verwendung einer Aluminiumfolie für den Innenbehälter 3 vernachlässigbar gering ist, wirkt sich die thermische Leitfähigkeit der Aluminiumschicht überraschend vorteilhaft auf das thermische Schrumpfen nach dem Ausformen des fertiggestellten Behälters 1 aus einer Spritzgiessform aus, wenn der Innenbehälter 3 in dieser durch den Aussenbehälter 2 umspritzt wird, indem die Schrumpfung um ca. 50 Prozent geringer ausfällt als ohne Verwendung einer Aluminiumfolie.Although the proportion of aluminum is negligibly small when using an aluminum foil for the inner container 3, the thermal conductivity of the aluminum layer has a surprisingly advantageous effect on the thermal shrinkage after the finished container 1 has been molded from an injection mold, if the inner container 3 is in it by the Outer container 2 is encapsulated by the shrinkage is about 50 percent less than without using an aluminum foil.

Die Darstellung des Behälterdeckels erübrigt sich, da dieser auf an sich bekannte Weise, z.B. entsprechend der US-PS 3 190 485 ausgeführt sein kann.The representation of the container lid is unnecessary, since it is known in a manner known per se, e.g. can be carried out in accordance with US Pat. No. 3,190,485.
