Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum vollständigen Entleeren einer Tube, die einen Tubenkörper mit Tubenkopf und in diesem vorhandenen Tubenöffnung umfasst, wobei die Vorrichtung einen Grundkörper mit einer schlitzförmigen Tubenaufnahme sowie eine in dem Grundkörper drehbare Welle mit einer Tubenfalzhalterung umfasst und die Welle in dem Grundkörper zum Aufrollen des Tubenkörpers auf der Welle drehbar ist und der Tubeninhalt durch Ziehen des Tubenkörpers durch die schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme ausrückbar ist.The invention relates to a device for completely emptying a tube comprising a tube body with tube head and in this existing tube opening, wherein the device comprises a base body with a slot-shaped tube receptacle and a shaft rotatable in the base shaft with a Tubenfalzhalterung and the shaft in the Base body for rolling the tube body on the shaft is rotatable and the tube contents can be disengaged by pulling the tube body through the slot-shaped tube receiving.

Eine Vorrichtung zum Entleeren von Tuben der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise in der DE 297 17 321 U1 beschrieben. Durch die bekannte Vorrichtung sollen Kunststofftuben nahezu restlos entleert werden können. Dazu werden Kunststofftuben auf einer in einem Rohr gelagerten, geschlitzten Welle mit Rad stufenlos dosierbar zum Entleeren platzsparend aufgerollt.A device for emptying tubes of the type mentioned is, for example, in the DE 297 17 321 U1 described. By the known device plastic tubes should be able to be emptied almost completely. For this purpose, plastic tubes on a mounted in a pipe, slotted shaft with wheel infinitely adjustable to empty space-saving rolled up.

Beim Entleeren von insbesondere Metalltuben mit einem einer Kegelstumpfoberfläche folgenden Tubenkopf und sich daran anschließender zylindeiförmiger Tubenöffnung tritt das Problem auf, dass durch die bekannte Vorrichtung ein vollständiges Entleeren nicht erfolgen kann, da Reste des Tubeninhalts in dem Tubenkopf verbleiben, da dieser nicht durch die schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme gezogen werden kann. Bei wertvollem Tubeninhalt, wie beispielsweise Haarfärbemittel, Salben oder Cremes kann eine vollständige Entleerung zu einer enormen Kosteneinsparung führen.When emptying particular metal tubes with a cone head following a tube head and subsequent cylindrical tube opening the problem arises that can not be done by the known device complete emptying, as remains of the tube contents remain in the tube head, as this is not through the slit-shaped tube receiving can be pulled. With valuable tube contents, such as hair dyes, ointments or creams, a complete emptying can lead to a huge cost savings.

In der DE 203 10 094 U1 ist eine Quetschvorrichtung zum Ausdrücken von aus Kunststoff hergestellten Tuben mit einem einen Austrittsstutzen aufweisenden Tubenkopf und einem daran angeschlossenen Tubenschlauch beschrieben. Die Quetschvorrichtung besteht aus einem Klemmstück mit einem den Tubenschlauch zusammendrückenden Querschlitz und zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Klemmstück eine sich sch!auchseitig an den Tubenkopf anlegbare und diesem formmäßig angepasste Druckform aufweist.In the DE 203 10 094 U1 is a squeezing device for expressing tubes made of plastic with an outlet nozzle having a tube head and a tube connected thereto described. The squeezing device consists of a clamping piece with a tube slot compressing transverse slot and is characterized in that the clamping piece has a sch! Also applicable to the tube head and this shape adapted printing form.

Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum vollständigen Entleeren von Tuben derart weiterzubilden, dass auch die im Tubenkopf verbleibenden Reste vollständig entleert werden können.Based on this, the present invention is based on the problem of developing a device for completely emptying tubes in such a way that even the remains remaining in the tube head can be completely emptied.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß u. a. dadurch gelöst, dass an dem Grundkörper ein Hebel angesenkt ist, in dem der Tubenkopf zum vollständigen Entleeren dieses gegen den Grundkörper andrückbar ist.The object is u. a. solved in that on the base body, a lever is countersunk, in which the tube head for complete emptying this is pressed against the body.

Gegenüber dem Stand der Technik wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass auch die im Tubenkopf verbleibenden Reste vollständig entleert werden könnten, da mittels des Hebels hohe Kräfte ausgeübt werden können, um den Tubenkopf gegen die Außenfläche des Grundkörpers zu drücken mit der Folge, dass die sich im vorzugsweise kegelstumpfförmigen Tubenkopf befindlichen Reste vollständig entleerbar sind.Compared to the prior art, the advantage is achieved that even the remains remaining in the tube head could be completely emptied, since by means of the lever high forces can be exerted to press the tube head against the outer surface of the body with the result that in the preferably frustoconical tube head residues are completely emptied.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die im Grundkörper eingeformte Tubenaufnahme eine vorzugsweise kugel- oder kegelförmige Wölbung aufweist, welche mit einem in dem Hebel eingeformte vorzugsweise kugel- oder kegelförmige Vertiefung zusammenwirkt, wobei die Vertiefung eine Durchbrechung zur Aufnahme der Tubenöffnung aufweist. Durch die im Bereich der Tubenaufnahme ausgebildete Wölbung wird eine bessere Anpassung an den in der Regel kegelstumpoörmigen Tubenkopf erreicht, so dass der Kraftaufwand zum vollständigen Entleeren des Tubenkopfbereichs einer Tube minimiert wird.A preferred embodiment provides that the tube receptacle formed in the base body has a preferably spherical or conical curvature, which cooperates with a preferably spherical or conical depression formed in the lever, wherein the recess has an opening for receiving the tube opening. By virtue of the curvature formed in the region of the tube receptacle, a better adaptation to the usually frusto-conical tube head is achieved, so that the force required for completely emptying the tube head region of a tube is minimized.

Bevorzugt weist der Grundkörper einen trommelförmigen Abschnitt auf, in dem die schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme eingebracht ist. Der bogenförmig ausgebildete Hebel ist vorzugsweise an einer Außenseite des trommelförmigen Abschnitts angelenkt und liegt im geschlossenen Zustand vorzugsweise formschlüssig an der Oberfläche der Trommel an.Preferably, the base body has a drum-shaped section, in which the slot-shaped tube receptacle is introduced. The arc-shaped lever is preferably articulated on an outer side of the drum-shaped portion and is in the closed state preferably on a form-fitting manner on the surface of the drum.

Um die Handhabung des Hebels zu vereinfachen, weist dieser einen vorzugsweise T-förmigen Griffbereich auf, welcher sich in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers erstreckt und beispielsweise mittels jeweils eines Daumens einer Benutzerhand betätigbar ist.In order to simplify the handling of the lever, this has a preferably T-shaped handle portion, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the base body and, for example, by means of one thumb of a user's hand is actuated.

Die Welle ist vorzugsweise in dem trommelförmigen Grundkörper drehbar gelagert, wobei diese seitlich ein Drehrad aufweist, welches an der stirnseitigen Öffnung des trommelförmigen Grundkörpers anliegt.The shaft is preferably rotatably mounted in the drum-shaped base body, wherein this laterally has a rotary wheel, which rests against the frontal opening of the drum-shaped base body.

Vorzugsweise ist der trommelförmige Grundkörper gegenüber der offenen Stirnseite mit einem dem Drehrad der Welle entsprechenden Griff versehen. Die Welle kann sich in Richtung ihres freien Endes verjüngen, um ein Abstreifen des aufgerollten Tubenkörpers zu vereinfachen.Preferably, the drum-shaped base body is provided with respect to the open end side with a handle corresponding to the rotary wheel of the shaft. The shaft may taper towards its free end to facilitate stripping of the rolled-up tube body.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen, den diesen zu entnehmenden Merkmalen - für sich und/oder in Kombination - sondern auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines der Zeichnung zu entnehmenden bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels.For more details, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent not only from the claims, the features to be taken these - by itself and / or in combination - but also from the following description of a drawing to be taken preferred embodiment.

In den trommelförmigen Abschnitt 18 ist in Längsrichtung, parallel zur Drehachse eine schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme 26 eingebracht, die sich von der stirnseitigen Öffnung 20 bis zu dem Griff 24 erstreckt.The main body 12 with pressure lever 16 is in Fig. 2 shown. The main body 12 comprises a drum-shaped portion 18, which is open at a first end face 20 and provided with a handle 24 at an opposite end face 22. In the drum-shaped portion 18, a slot-shaped tube receptacle 26 is inserted in the longitudinal direction, parallel to the axis of rotation, which extends from the frontal opening 20 to the handle 24.

In dem trommelförmigen Abschnitt 18 des Grundkörpers 12 ist das Drehelement 14 drehbar gelagert, welches eine Welle 28 mit zumindest einem Schlitz 30 zur Aufnahme einer Tubenfalz aufweist. Die Welle ist mit einem Drehrad 32 versehen, welches in Form und Gestalt in etwa dem Griff 24 des Grundkörpers 12 entspricht.In the drum-shaped portion 18 of the base body 12, the rotary member 14 is rotatably mounted, which has a shaft 28 with at least one slot 30 for receiving a Tubenfalz. The shaft is provided with a rotary wheel 32, which corresponds in shape and shape approximately to the handle 24 of the base body 12.

Der Hebel 16 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Mit einem ersten Ende 34 ist der Hebel 16 gelenkig mit dem Grundkörper 12 verbunden. Dazu ist auf der Oberfläche des trommelförmigen Abschnitts 18 ein Auflager 36 angeformt, an dem das Ende 34 mittels eines Stiftes 38 nach Art eines Scharniers gelenkig angeordnet ist. An einem zweiten Ende 40 des Hebels ist ein im Wesentlichen T-förmiger Griff 42 zur Betätigung des Hebels beispielsweise mittels des Daumens jeweils einer Hand des Benutzers angeordnet. Der T-fönnige Griff 42 weist eine Länge auf, der im Wesentlichen der Längserstreckung des Grundkörpers zuzüglich der Seite des Drehrads 32 entspricht.The lever 16 is in Fig. 4 shown. With a first end 34 of the lever 16 is pivotally connected to the base body 12. For this purpose, a support 36 is integrally formed on the surface of the drum-shaped portion 18, to which the end 34 is articulated by means of a pin 38 in the manner of a hinge. At a second end 40 of the lever is a substantially T-shaped handle 42 for actuating the Levers arranged, for example by means of the thumb of one hand of the user. The T-shaped handle 42 has a length which essentially corresponds to the longitudinal extent of the main body plus the side of the rotary wheel 32.

Der Fig. 1 ist zu entnehmen, dass der Hebel 16 bogenförmig ausgebildet ist und im Wesentlichen an die zylinderförmige Oberfläche des trommelförmigen Abschnitts 18 angepasst ist. Der T-förmige Griff 42 erstreckt sich im geschlossenen Zustand des Hebels im Wesentlichen in radialer Richtung nach außen.Of the Fig. 1 It can be seen that the lever 16 is arcuate and is substantially adapted to the cylindrical surface of the drum-shaped portion 18. The T-shaped handle 42 extends in the closed state of the lever substantially in the radial direction to the outside.

Einzelne Stationen der Verwendung der Tubenpresse sind in den Fig. 5 a) bis c) dargestellt. Fig. 5 a) zeigt die Tubenpresse 10 in einer Stellung, in der ein Tubenkörper 43 einer Tube 49 bereits vollständig auf der Welle 28 aufgerollt ist, wobei allerdings ein Tubenkopf 50 noch nicht vollständig entleert ist. Eine weitere Entleerung durch Drehen der Welle 28 ist nicht mehr möglich. Durch Anlegen des Hebels 16 und pressen dieses gegen den Grundkörper 12 wird der Tubenkopf 50 gegen die Wölbung 44 gepresst, so dass ein im Tubenkopf 50 enthaltener Rest 51 vollständig entleert wird, ein Zustand der in Fig. 5 c) dargestellt ist.Individual stations of use of the tube press are in the Fig. 5 a) to c) shown. Fig. 5 a) shows the tube press 10 in a position in which a tube body 43 of a tube 49 is already completely rolled up on the shaft 28, although a tube head 50 is not completely emptied. Further emptying by rotating the shaft 28 is no longer possible. By applying the lever 16 and pressing it against the base body 12, the tube head 50 is pressed against the curvature 44, so that a residue contained in the tube head 50 51 is completely emptied, a state of in Fig. 5c) is shown.

Zur vollständigen Entleerung insbesondere des Tubenkopfes 50, der üblicherweise einer Oberfläche eines Kegelstumpfabschnittes folgt, ist im Bereich der schlitzförmigen Tubenaufnahme des trommelförmigen Abschnitts 18 eine sich nach außen erstreckende Wölbung 44 vorgesehen. Entsprechend ist in dem Hebel 16 eine mit der Wölbung 44 zusammenwirkende Vertiefung 46 eingebracht. Ferner ist die Vertiefung 46 mit einer Durchbrechung 48 zur Aufnahme einer Tubenöffnung 52 versehen.For complete emptying, in particular of the tube head 50, which usually follows a surface of a truncated cone portion, an outwardly extending curvature 44 is provided in the region of the slot-shaped tube receptacle of the drum-shaped portion 18. Accordingly, in the lever 16 a cooperating with the bulge 44 recess 46 is introduced. Furthermore, the recess 46 is provided with an opening 48 for receiving a tube opening 52.

Zur Benutzung der Tubenpresse wird ein Tubenfalz 53 einer vorzugsweise bereits teilweise entleerten Tube 49 in die schlitzförmige Aufnahme 30 der Welle 28 eingeführt und sodann zusammen mit dem bereits entleerten Abschnitt der Tube 49 in die schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme 26 eingeschoben. Durch Drehen des Drehrades 32 wird der Tubenkörper auf der Welle 28 aufgerollt, wobei der Tubenkörper durch die enge schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme 26 gezogen und der Tubeninhalt durch die Tubenöffnung ausgepresst wird. Liegt der Tubenkopf an der kugelförmigen oder zylinderförmigen Wölbung 44 an, kann zur vollständigen Entleerung erfindungsgemäß der Hebel 16 benutzt werden, durch den der Tubenkopf gegen die Wölbung 44 pressbar ist, um den Tubenkopf sodann vollständig zu entleeren.To use the tube press a Tubenfalz 53 a preferably already partially emptied tube 49 is inserted into the slot-shaped receptacle 30 of the shaft 28 and then inserted together with the already emptied portion of the tube 49 into the slot-shaped tube receptacle 26. By turning the rotary wheel 32, the tube body is rolled up on the shaft 28, wherein the tube body is pulled through the narrow slot-shaped tube holder 26 and the tube contents is squeezed out through the tube opening. Is the tube head at the spherical or cylindrical bulge 44, the lever 16 can be used for complete emptying according to the invention, through which the tube head against the curvature 44 can be pressed to then completely empty the tube head.

Die Tubenpresse kann durch eine Bedienperson derart benutzt werden, in dem der Grundkörper 12 durch das Griffelement 24 in einer Hand festgehalten und durch die andere Hand mittels des Drehrades 14 ein Aufrollen und somit Entleeren des Tubeninhaltes erfolgt. Die Benutzung des Hebels 16 erfolgt sodann ebenfalls beidhändig, wobei der T-fömtige Griff 42 durch Kraftbeaufschlagung durch die Daumen der rechten und linken Hand ein vollständiges Entleeren des Tubenkopfes gewährleistet. -The tube press can be used by an operator such that the base body 12 is held by the handle member 24 in one hand and by the other hand by means of the rotary wheel 14 is rolled up and thus emptying the tube contents.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 6 unterscheidet sich von der in den Fig. 1 bis 5 dargestellten dadurch, dass die kugel- bzw. kegelförmigen Wölbung 44 und die entsprechende Ausformung 46 des Hebels 16 durch eine sich entlang einer Längsachse der Welle erstreckende, im Wesentlichen der Oberfläche eines Halbzylinders folgende Wölbung 64 ersetzt ist. Eine schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme 66 teilt die Wölbung 64 in zwei Abschnitte. Korrespondierend weist der Andruckhebel 62 eine Ausformung 68 auf, deren Innenseite 70 im Wesentlichen der Oberfläche eines Zylinders folgt. Zur Durchführung des Tubenkopfes 52 ist selbstverständlich eine Öffnung 72 innerhalb der Ausformung 68 vorgesehen.The embodiment according to Fig. 6 is different from the one in the Fig. 1 to 5 illustrated in that the spherical or conical curvature 44 and the corresponding shape 46 of the lever 16 is replaced by a curvature 64 extending along a longitudinal axis of the shaft, substantially following the surface of a half-cylinder. A slot-shaped tube receiver 66 divides the bulge 64 into two sections. Correspondingly, the pressure lever 62 has a formation 68, the inside 70 of which follows substantially the surface of a cylinder. For the implementation of the tube head 52 of course an opening 72 is provided within the formation 68.

Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass ein Anlenkpunkt 74 für den Hebel 62 bezogen auf die schlitzförmige Tubenaufnahme 66 in einem Winkel α von 30 ≤ α ≤ 70 ° vorzugsweise 45 ≤ α ≤ 55 ° angeordnet ist. Durch den Hebel 62 wird ein Hebelverhältnis von 1/3 zu 2/3 erreicht, wobei die Länge zwischen Anlenkpunkt 74 und Ausformung 68 etwa 1/3 der Gesamtlänge des Hebels 62 entspricht.Furthermore, it is provided that an articulation point 74 for the lever 62 with respect to the slot-shaped tube receptacle 66 is arranged at an angle α of 30 ≦ α ≦ 70 °, preferably 45 ≦ α ≦ 55 °. By the lever 62 is a Lever ratio of 1/3 to 2/3 reached, wherein the length between articulation point 74 and formation 68 corresponds to about 1/3 of the total length of the lever 62.

Fig. 6 e) zeigt die Tubenpresse 60 in einem Zustand, in dem der Hebel 62 geschlossen ist und der Inhalt der Tube 50 völlig entleert ist, in Umfangsrichtung des Hebels 62 verlaufend. Fig. 6 e) shows the tube press 60 in a state in which the lever 62 is closed and the contents of the tube 50 is completely empty, in the circumferential direction of the lever 62 extending.

Vorzugsweise umfasst ein Winkel α zwischen Anlenkpunkt 74 und Tubenaufnahme 66 einen Winkel α im Bereich von 0 ° ≤ α ≤ 90 °, vorzugweise 45 ° α ≤ 55 °. Der Hebel 62 kann in Umfangsrichtung eine Umfangserstreckung β im Bereich von 110 ° ≤ β ≤ 180 °, vorzugsweise β = 145 ° aufweisen.Preferably, an angle α between articulation point 74 and tube receptacle 66 comprises an angle α in the range of 0 ° ≦ α ≦ 90 °, preferably 45 ° α ≦ 55 °. The lever 62 may have a circumferential extension β in the circumferential direction in the range of 110 ° ≦ β ≦ 180 °, preferably β = 145 °.
