Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beutel, insbesondere einen Konturenbeutel, zur Aufnahme flüssiger oder pastöser Stoffe, bestehend aus zwei im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordneten Abschnitten aus flexiblem folienartigem Material mit vorgegebener Außenkontur, die mindestens an ihren Rändern dichtend miteinander verbunden sind und zwischen sich einen mit dem flüssigen oder pastösen Stoff füllbaren Innenraum begrenzen, wobei ein Teil dieses Innenraums als schmaler, zum Rand des Beutels hin laufender Austrittskanal ausgebildet ist, der durch einen Abrißverschluß verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a bag, in particular a contour bag, for holding liquid or pasty substances, consisting of two sections of flexible film-like material arranged essentially parallel to one another with a predetermined outer contour, which are sealed together at least at their edges and one with the liquid between them or paste-like material fillable interior space, part of this interior space being designed as a narrow outlet channel running towards the edge of the bag, which is closed by a tear-off closure.

Derartige nach der Art einer Weichpackung aufgebaute Beutel werden im allgemeinen zur Aufbewahrung und Mitnahme von kleineren Mengen flüssiger oder pastöser Lebens- oder Kosmetikmittel verwendet. Es ist allgemein bekannt, einen solchen Beutel mit einem Abrißverschluß zu versehen, so daß die Öffnung des Beutels durch Abziehen, Abreißen oder auch Abschneiden dieses Abrißverschlusses geschieht, so daß der Inhalt herausgepreßt oder ausgegossen werden kann. Ein derartiger Konturenbeutel ist beispielsweise im deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 81 27 806.3 und in der deutschen Patentschrift Nr. 31 43 671 beschrieben.Such bags constructed in the manner of a soft pack are generally used for storing and taking small amounts of liquid or pasty food or cosmetic products. It is generally known to provide such a bag with a tear-off seal so that the opening of the bag is done by pulling, tearing off or even cutting off this tear-off seal so that the contents can be pressed out or poured out. Such a contour bag is described, for example, in German utility model G 81 27 806.3 and in German Patent No. 31 43 671.

Ein Nachteil eines solchen Konturenbeutels besteht darin, daß er nach der ersten Öffnung nicht wieder verschlossen werden kann, was das Aufbewahren, das Mitnehmen und den mehrmaligen und späteren Gebrauch erschwert. Der Konturenbeutel wird dann häufig vor seiner vollständigen Entleerung weggeworfen, was zu einer Verschwendung des unbenutzten Inhalts führt.A disadvantage of such a contour bag is that it cannot be closed again after the first opening, which makes storage, taking away and repeated and later use more difficult. The contour bag is then often thrown away before it is completely emptied, which leads to waste of the unused content.

Der Verbraucher wäre an sich daran interessiert, den unbenutzten Inhalt eines geöffneten Konturenbeutels für den späteren Gebrauch aufzuheben. Das Auslaufen des Inhalts während der Aufbewahrung könnte jedoch zu unerwünschten Schäden an Kleidung, Tasche usw. führen.The consumer would be interested in saving the unused contents of an opened contour pouch for later use. However, leakage of content during storage could result in undesirable damage to clothing, bags, etc.

Es ist offensichtlich trotz mehrfacher Versuche bisher nicht gelungen, einen Konturenbeutel zu schaffen, der in einfacher Weise wieder verschließbar ist, so daß der unbenutzte Inhalt für den späteren Gebrauch ohne Auslaufen aufbewahrt werden kann und eine Verschwendung des Inhalts sowie Schäden infolge Auslaufen der Flüssigkeit aus dem Konturenbeutel verhindert und somit die herkömmlichen Probleme beseitigt werden.It has obviously not been possible, despite repeated attempts, to create a contour pouch which can be resealed in a simple manner, so that the unused content can be stored for later use without leakage, and waste of the content and damage as a result of leakage of the liquid from the Contour bags are prevented and thus the conventional problems are eliminated.

In der französischen Patentschrift Nr. 1 016 042 ist ein tubenartiger Beutel aus thermoplastischem Material beschrieben zur Aufnahme flüssiger oder pastöser Stoffe, der an einem Ende einen schmalen, mit einem Austrittskanal versehenen Abschnitt aufweist, der zum Verschließen des Beutels zurückgefaltet und unter einen Gürtel eingesteckt werden kann, der mit den Rändern des Beutels verbunden ist. Dieser bekannte Beutel hat den Nachteil, daß der Verschluß nur dann flüssigkeitsdicht ist, wenn ein ausreichender Innendruck herrscht, der den zurückgefalteten Abschnitt an den Gürtel anpreßt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß bei nur noch halbgefülltem Beutel leicht Flüssigkeit austreten kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Herstellung dieses bekannten Beutels hohe Kosten verursacht.French patent specification No. 1 016 042 describes a tube-like bag made of thermoplastic material for holding liquid or pasty substances, which has at one end a narrow section provided with an outlet channel, which is folded back to close the bag and inserted under a belt can, which is connected to the edges of the bag. This known bag has the disadvantage that the closure is only liquid-tight if there is sufficient internal pressure which presses the folded-back section against the belt. This has to As a result, liquid can easily escape if the bag is only half full. Another disadvantage is that the production of this known bag causes high costs.

Es ist weiterhin aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung Veröffentlichungs-Nr. 0 370 957 ein Kunststoffbeutel bekannt, der einen Beutelhals aufweist, in dem ein Aluminiumplättchen angeordnet ist. Zum Verschließen wird der Beutelhals im Bereich dieses Aluminiumplättchens zurückgefaltet, wobei das Aluminiumplättchen den Beutelhals in der Schließstellung festhalten soll. Auch dieser bekannte Verschluß ist wegen des benötigten Aluminiumplättchens teuer in der Herstellung und garantiert kein absolut dichtes Verschließen des Beutels.It is also from European patent application publication no. 0 370 957 a plastic bag is known which has a bag neck in which an aluminum plate is arranged. To close the bag neck is folded back in the area of this aluminum plate, the aluminum plate should hold the bag neck in the closed position. This known closure is also expensive to manufacture because of the required aluminum plate and does not guarantee an absolutely tight closure of the bag.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Beutel, insbesondere einen Konturenbeutel, mit den eingangs erwähnten Merkmalen so auszugestalten, daß er kostengünstig herzustellen ist und dennoch nach der Öffnung vom Verbraucher in einfacher Weise derart wieder verschlossen werden kann, daß ein Auslaufen der Flüssigkeit sicher verhindert wird.The invention has for its object to design a bag, in particular a contour bag, with the features mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be produced inexpensively and can nevertheless be easily closed again by the consumer after opening in such a way that the liquid is reliably prevented from escaping becomes.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe geschieht erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß mindestens ein Teilabschnitt des Austrittkanals in einer aus der Außenkontur des Beutels herausragenden streifenartigen Öffnungslasche angeordnet ist, an deren äußerem Ende der Abrißverschluß angeordnet ist und im Körper des Beutels ein von der einen Seitenfläche zur anderen Seitenfläche durchtretender, gegenüber dem Innenraum abgedichteter Festhalteschlitz angeordnet ist, dessen Länge an die Breite der Öffnungslasche und dessen Breite an die Dicke der Öffnungslasche angepaßt ist und dessen Lage am Körper des Konturenbeutels derart ist, daß die umgefaltete Öffnungslasche durch den Festhalteschlitz mindestens mit einem Teil ihrer Länge hindurchziehbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least a partial section of the outlet channel is arranged in a strip-like opening tab protruding from the outer contour of the bag, at the outer end of which the tear-off closure is arranged and in the body of the bag a through-going from one side surface to the other side surface, relative to the interior sealed retaining slot is arranged, the length of which is adapted to the width of the opening tab and the width of the thickness of the opening tab and whose position on the body of the contour bag is such that the folded-over opening flap can be pulled through at least part of its length through the holding slot.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind weiter unten beschrieben.Advantageous developments of the invention are described below.

Wie weiter unten anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen noch näher erläutert wird, besteht der Grundgedanke der Erfindung darin, eine Methode zu schaffen, mit der ein flüssige oder pastöse Stoffe enthaltender Beutel nach der Öffnung durch Abreißen oder Abschneiden des Abrißverschlusses wieder verschlossen werden kann, und zwar dadurch, daß eine die Außenkontur des Beutels überragende, die Austrittsöffnung tragende Öffnungslasche durch Rückfaltung auf den Körper des Beutels und Sichern der Öffnungslasche im gefalteten Zustand durch einen im Körper des Beutels angeordneten Festhalteschlitz, durch den die Öffnungslasche hindurchgezogen ist, verschlossen wird. Durch die Falte in der Öffnungslasche wird diese in einem engen Bereich ihrer Länge zusammengepreßt, wodurch der Austrittskanal verschlossen wird und ein Auslaufen des unbenutzten Inhalts des Beutels sicher verhindert wird.As will be explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments, the basic idea of the invention is to create a method with which a bag containing liquid or pasty substances can be closed again after opening by tearing or cutting off the tear-off closure, specifically by that an opening flap projecting beyond the outer contour of the bag and carrying the outlet opening is closed by folding back onto the body of the bag and securing the opening flap in the folded state by a holding slot arranged in the body of the bag, through which the opening flap is pulled. The fold in the opening flap compresses it in a narrow region of its length, as a result of which the outlet channel is closed and leakage of the unused contents of the bag is reliably prevented.

Abgesehen von den die Öffnung und Wiederverschließung des Beutels bestimmenden Teilen kann der erfindungsgemäße Beutel in beliebiger Weise hinsichtlich seiner Größe, Form und Außenkontur ausgestaltet sein und als Behältnis für die üblichen flüssigen oder pastösen Stoffe dienen, die in derartige Beutel eingefüllt werden.Apart from the parts determining the opening and reclosing of the bag, the bag according to the invention can be designed in any way with regard to its size, shape and outer contour and can serve as a container for the usual liquid or pasty substances which are filled into such bags.

Es wird zunächst anhand der Fig. 1 bis 3 und 7 eine erste Ausführungsform eines Konturenbeutels sowie sein Öffnen und Wiederverschließen näher erläutert.1 to 3 and 7, a first embodiment of a contour bag and its opening and reclosing will be explained in more detail.

Der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 insgesamt mit Bezugsziffer 1 bezeichnete Konturenbeutel besitzt einen Körper 2, der, wie aus Fig. 7 zu entnehmen, aus zwei im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordneten Abschnitten 2.1 und 2.2 zusammengesetzt ist, die aus einem flexiblen folienartigen Material, beispielsweise einer Kunststoffolie oder einer mit Metall beschichteten Kunststoffolie, bestehen und an ihren Rändern dichtend miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen den Abschnitten 2.1 und 2.2 befindet sich der Innenraum 3 des Konturenbeutels, der einen flüssigen oder pastösen Stoff enthält. Mit dem Körper 2 ist eine streifenartig ausgebildete Öffnungslasche 4 verbunden, die an einem Ende einen als Abrißstück 5 ausgebildeten Abrißverschluß aufweist und in der ein schmaler Austrittskanal 3.1 verläuft, durch dessen nach Abreißen des Abrißstückes 5 offenes Ende 8 ein Herauspressen des Inhaltes aus dem Innenraum 3 durch den Austrittskanal 3.1 möglich ist. Weiterhin besitzt der Körper 2 in seinem Randbereich einen Teilbereich 6.1, in dem die beiden Abschnitte 2.1 und 2.2 dichtend und fest aneinander anliegend miteinander verbunden sind, einen Festhalteschlitz 6, der bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel parallel zur Richtung der Öffnungslasche 4 verläuft und dessen Länge an die Breite der Öffnungslasche 4 angepaßt ist, während seine Breite an die Dicke der Öffnungslasche 4 angepaßt ist.The contour bag generally designated by reference number 1 in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a body 2 which, as can be seen from FIG. 7, is composed of two sections 2.1 and 2.2 arranged essentially parallel to one another, which are made of a flexible film-like material, for example a plastic film or a plastic film coated with metal, exist and are sealingly connected to one another at their edges. Between the sections 2.1 and 2.2 is the interior 3 of the contour bag, which is a liquid or pasty substance. A body-like opening flap 4 is connected to the body 2, which has at one end a tear-off closure designed as a tear-off piece 5 and in which runs a narrow outlet channel 3.1, through the end 8 of which, after the tear-off piece 5 has been torn off, the content 8 is pressed out of the interior 3 through the outlet channel 3.1 is possible. Furthermore, the body 2 has in its edge region a partial region 6.1, in which the two sections 2.1 and 2.2 are connected to one another in a sealing and firmly abutting manner, a holding slot 6, which in the exemplary embodiment shown runs parallel to the direction of the opening tab 4 and its length to the Width of the opening tab 4 is adapted, while its width is adapted to the thickness of the opening tab 4.

In Fig. 2 ist der Konturenbeutel nach Fig. 1 nach dem Abreißen des Abrißstückes 5 dargestellt, also in dem Zustand, in dem sein Inhalt entnommen werden kann.FIG. 2 shows the contour bag according to FIG. 1 after the tear-off piece 5 has been torn off, that is to say in the state in which its contents can be removed.

Das Wiederverschließen des Konturenbeutels geschieht, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, dadurch, daß die Öffnungslasche 4 entlang einer Faltlinie 7, die im Ansatzbereich der Öffnungslasche 4 an den Körper 2 des Konturenbeutels unter einem Winkel von etwa 45° zur Längsrichtung der Öffnungslasche 4 angeordnet ist, auf den Körper 2 zurückgefaltet und das offene Ende 8 in den Festhalteschlitz 6 eingeführt und durch den Schlitz 6 hindurchgeführt wird bis die entlang der Faltlinie 7 entstehende Falte der Öffnungslasche 4 kräftig zusammengepreßt ist.The contour bag is reclosed, as shown in FIG. 3, in that the opening tab 4 is arranged along a fold line 7, which is in the region of the opening tab 4 on the body 2 of the contour bag at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the longitudinal direction of the opening tab 4 , folded back onto the body 2 and the open end 8 inserted into the holding slot 6 and passed through the slot 6 until the crease of the opening flap 4 along the fold line 7 is pressed firmly together.

Die mechanische Wirkung dieser Zusammenpressung der Falte der Öffnungslasche 4 entlang der Faltlinie 7 ist ausreichend, um ein Auslaufen der Flüssigkeit aus dem Innenraum 3 unter normalen Verwendungsumständen zu verhindern.The mechanical effect of this compression of the fold of the opening flap 4 along the fold line 7 is sufficient to prevent the liquid from escaping from the interior 3 under normal conditions of use.

Zur Wiederöffnung des Konturenbeutels nach Fig. 1 bis 3 wird die Öffnungslasche 4 aus dem Festhalteschlitz 6 herausgezogen und in den ursprünglichen in Fig. 2 dargestellten Zustand zurückgebracht. Ein Druck auf die den Innenraum 3 begrenzenden Außenflächen der Abschnitte 2.1 und 2.2 veranlaßt, daß wiederum ein Teil der Flüssigkeit oder die ganze Flüssigkeit, die sich noch im Innenraum 3 befindet, durch den Austrittskanal 3.1 und das offene Ende 8 der Öffnungslasche 4 aus dem Konturenbeutel herausfließt. Der oben geschilderte Vorgang des Wiederverschließens und Öffnens kann bis zur vollständigen Entleerung des Konturenbeutels wiederholt werden.To reopen the contour bag according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening tab 4 is pulled out of the holding slot 6 and returned to the original state shown in FIG. 2. Pressure on the outer surfaces of sections 2.1 and 2.2 delimiting the inner space 3 in turn causes part or all of the liquid which is still in the inner space 3 to pass through the outlet channel 3.1 and the open end 8 of the opening flap 4 from the contour bag flows out. The process of reclosing and opening described above can be repeated until the contour pouch is completely emptied.

Anhand der Fig. 4 bis 6 werden im folgenden weitere Ausführungsformen eines wieder verschließbaren Konturenbeutels beschrieben. Dabei sind Teile, die genau der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 bis 3 entsprechen, mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet.4 to 6, further embodiments of a reclosable contour pouch are described below. Parts that correspond exactly to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated with the same reference numbers.

Der in Fig. 4 dargestellte, insgesamt mit Bezugsziffer 20 bezeichnete Konturenbeutel unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 bis 3 dadurch, daß der hier ebenfalls parallel zur Öffnungslasche 4 in einem Teilbereich 60.1 am Rand des Körpers 2 des Konturenbeutels angeordnete Festhalteschlitz 60 zum Rand hin offen ist, was das Einschieben der um die Faltlinie 7 herumgefalteten Öffnungslasche 4 in den Festhalteschlitz 60 von außen her erleichtert.The contour bag shown in FIG. 4, designated overall by reference number 20, differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in that the retaining slot 60, which is also arranged here parallel to the opening tab 4 in a partial region 60.1 on the edge of the body 2 of the contour bag, extends to the edge is open, which facilitates the insertion of the opening flap 4 folded around the fold line 7 into the retaining slot 60 from the outside.

Bei der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Konturenbeutel insgesamt mit Bezugsziffer 30 bezeichnet und der Festhalteschlitz 62 verläuft senkrecht zur Öffnungslasche 4 und ist nicht am Rand des Körpers 2, sondern vom Rand entfernt zur Mitte hin angeordnet, und zwar in einem Teilbereich 62.1, in dem die Abschnitte aus flexiblem Material, aus denen der Körper 2 des Beutels gebildet ist, dicht aufeinanderliegend miteinander verbunden sind. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform geschieht das Öffnen durch Abreißen des Abrißstückes 5 und das Wiederverschließen durch Umfalten der Öffnungslasche 4, um die in diesem Falle senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Öffnungslasche 4 verlaufende Faltlinie 70, Einstecken der Öffnungslasche 4 in den Festhalteschlitz 62 und Hindurchziehen der Öffnungslasche 4 durch diesen Schlitz bis entlang der Faltlinie 70 ein ausreichendes mechanisches Zusammenpressen der Falte erreicht ist und somit ein Auslaufen des Inhalts aus dem Innenraum 3 verhindert wird. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform ist ein mehrmaliges Wiederöffnen und Wiederverschließen ohne weiteres möglich.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the contour pouch is designated as a whole by reference number 30 and the retaining slot 62 runs perpendicular to the opening tab 4 and is not arranged at the edge of the body 2, but away from the edge toward the center, and in a partial area 62.1, in which the sections of flexible material, from which the body 2 of the bag is formed, are connected to one another in close proximity to one another. In this embodiment, too, the opening takes place by tearing off the tear-off piece 5 and the reclosing by folding the opening flap 4 around the fold line 70, which in this case is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the opening flap 4, inserting the opening flap 4 into the retaining slot 62 and pulling the opening flap 4 through this slot until a sufficient mechanical compression of the fold is achieved along the fold line 70 and thus leakage of the contents from the interior 3 is prevented. In this embodiment as well, repeated reopening and reclosing is easily possible.

Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 6, in welcher der Konturenbeutel allgemein mit Bezugsziffer 40 bezeichnet ist, ist wiederum der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 ähnlich, bis auf die Tatsache, daß der in einem Teilbereich 61.1 am Rand des Körpers 2 angeordnete Festhalteschlitz 61 unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Längsrichtung der Öffnungslasche 4 verläuft.The embodiment according to FIG. 6, in which the contour bag is generally designated by reference number 40, is again similar to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, except for the fact that the holding slot 61 arranged in a partial region 61.1 on the edge of the body 2 extends at an acute angle to the longitudinal direction of the opening tab 4.

Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform erfolgt das Öffnen und Wiederverschließen analog den oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen.In this embodiment as well, the opening and reclosing takes place analogously to the embodiments described above.

Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Ausführungsformen des beschriebenen wieder verschließbaren Konturenbeutels möglich. Entscheidend ist, daß Öffnungslasche und Festhalteschlitz so angeordnet sind, daß nach dem Abreißen des Abrißverschlusses die Öffnungslasche in den Festhalteschlitz eingeführt und hindurchgezogen werden kann, so daß sich längs einer Faltungslinie eine Falte bildet, durch deren mechanische Zusammenpressung das Austreten des Inhalts verhindert wird.Of course, other embodiments of the reclosable contour bag described are also possible. It is crucial that the opening tab and retaining slot are arranged so that the opening tab in the retaining slot after tearing off the tear-off closure can be inserted and pulled through, so that a fold is formed along a fold line, the mechanical compression of which prevents the content from escaping.
