Abstract

The invention relates to a plastic container with lid, preferably of rectangular or oval cross-section, for holding granular, powdery, pasty or liquid materials, with sealing edge and a locating part which is provided with an intermittent snap-on edge and is borne roughly centrally by a continuous supporting edge. The invention is intended to facilitate the grasping of the lid when the container is closed, on the one hand, and the pouring of liquid or pasty materials on the other. The invention is characterized in that the top edge of the locating part (6) and the supporting edge (7) are drawn down to the level of the lower edge of the locating part (6) in the form of an arc in at least one region of major curvature of the container perimeter, in such a way that a recessed grip (13) is formed in this region which makes it possible to grasp below the retaining fold of the lid and in such a way that the lower part of the recessed grip (13) is designed as a pourer (14) consisting of the laterally lowered surfaces of the supporting edge (7) and its lower, plane section.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter mit Deckel aus Kunststoff zur Aufnahme körniger, pulverförmiger, pastenförmiger oder flüssiger Güter mit vorzugsweise rechteckigem oder ovalem Querschnitt, dessen Wand einen oberen Dichtrand zur tragenden und dichtenden Aufnahme eines Deckels aufweist, wobei der Behälter im oberen Teil mit einem diesen abstandsweise umgebenden Aufnahmeteil versehen ist, welches durch eine in der Nähe des Dichtrandes hervorstehende umlaufende Tragkante etwa mittig getragen wird und bei dem das Aufnahmeteil auf der Innenseite am oberen Ende mit einer nicht durchgehenden Schnappkante versehen ist, hinter die der Deckel bei Aufsetzen rastend greift.The invention relates to a container with a lid made of plastic for receiving granular, powdery, pasty or liquid goods with a preferably rectangular or oval cross section, the wall of which has an upper sealing edge for the load-bearing and sealing reception of a lid, the container in the upper part with a spacing therefrom surrounding receiving part is provided, which is supported approximately centrally in the middle by a circumferential supporting edge protruding near the sealing edge and in which the receiving part is provided on the inside at the upper end with a non-continuous snap edge, behind which the cover engages when it is put on.

Derartige Behälter oder Eimer mit Deckel sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Z.B. können an den Innenwänden Abrollrippen und an dem Boden außen Verlängerungsfüße zur einheitlichen Anbringung von Druckbildern angebracht sein. Sie sollen so das eingefüllte Gut sicher aufbewahren, gegen ungewollten Austritt dieses Gutes ebenso wie gegen Eintritt von Staub, Schmutz oder Feuchtigkeit schützen, mechanisch stabil sein und sich ohne besondere Werkzeuge öffnen und möglichst auch wieder dicht verschließen lassen. Der Deckel kann zur besseren Stapelbarkeit bis auf Höhe des Füllgutes heruntergezogen sein.Such containers or buckets with lids are known in various designs. For example, rolling ribs can be attached to the inner walls and extension feet can be attached to the outside of the floor for uniform application of printed images. In this way, they should keep the filled goods safe, protect against unwanted leakage of this good as well as against the entry of dust, dirt or moisture, be mechanically stable and open without special tools and, if possible, close tightly again. For better stackability, the lid can be pulled down to the level of the contents.

So ist aus der EP-A1-0 287 980 ein Eimer aus Kunststoff mit einem zugehörigen einrastbaren Deckel bekannt, bei dem der Eimer und der Deckel an ihren Rändern so ausgebildet sind, daß der Deckel sicher abdichtet und einrastet. Die Eimerwand wird im oberen Teil von einem zylindrischen Ring umgeben, an dem am Eimerumfang einander diametral gegenüberstehende Taschen zur Aufnahme eines Tragebügels angeformt sind. An diesen Stellen ist der Ring bogenförmig heruntergezogen, so daß der zwischen dem Ring und der Eimerwand eingerastete Deckel erfaßt und abgehoben werden kann.For example, EP-A1-0 287 980 discloses a plastic bucket with an associated snap-on lid, in which the bucket and the lid are designed at their edges so that the lid securely seals and snaps into place. The upper part of the bucket wall is surrounded by a cylindrical ring, on which diametrically opposed pockets are formed on the circumference of the bucket to accommodate a carrying handle. At these points, the ring is pulled down in an arc so that the cover which is locked between the ring and the bucket wall can be gripped and lifted off.

Bei rechteckigen Behältern oder Eimern ist das Untergreifen und Abziehen des Deckels in der Mitte der Seiten schwierig bzw. nahezu unmöglich. Die Anordnung der Taschen mit dem an dieser Stelle heruntergezogenen Ring in den Ecken des Behälters ist unzweckmäßig, da diese Anordnung einerseits optisch wenig gefällig wirkt und andererseits der Tragbügel diagonal verlaufen müßte.With rectangular containers or buckets, reaching under and pulling off the lid in the middle of the sides is difficult or almost impossible. The arrangement of the pockets with the ring pulled down at this point in the corners of the container is unsuitable, since on the one hand this arrangement is not very pleasing to the eye and on the other hand the support bracket should run diagonally.

Darüber hinaus ist die in der EP-A1-0287 980 beschriebene Lösung für Farbeimer unzweckmäßig, da beim Ausgießen Farbe zwischen den zylindrischen Ring und die Eimerwand laufen kann, so daß ein erneutes Öffnen des Farbeimers nach vorherigem Verschließen durch die eingetrocknete Farbe erheblich erschwert wird.In addition, the solution described in EP-A1-0287 980 is unsuitable for paint buckets, since when pouring paint, paint can run between the cylindrical ring and the bucket wall, so that reopening of the paint bucket after prior closure is made considerably more difficult by the dried paint.

Aus der GB-PS 14 89 515 ist eine weitere Lösung bekannt, nach der ein Behälter mit Deckel aus Kunststoff zur Aufnahme körniger, pulverförmiger, pastenförmiger oder flüssiger Güter mit rundem Querschnitt beschrieben wird. Die Wand des Behälters weist dabei einen oberen Dichtrand zur tragenden und dichtenden Aufnahme des Deckels auf und ist in seinem oberen Teil mit einem den Dichtrand abstandsweise umgebenden Aufnahmeteil versehen. Das Aufnahmeteil wird von einer in der Nähe des Dichtrandes hervorstehenden umlaufenden Tragkante getragen. Dadurch, daß die Oberkante des Aufnahmeteils und die Tragkante bis auf die Ebene der Unterkante des Aufnahmeteils bogenförmig heruntergezogen ist, entsteht in diesem Bereich eine Art Eingriffsmulde, die ein Untergreifen des Haltefalzes am Deckel ermöglicht.From GB-PS 14 89 515 another solution is known, according to which a container with a lid made of plastic for receiving granular, powdery, pasty or liquid goods with a round cross-section is described. The Wall of the container has an upper sealing edge for the load-bearing and sealing reception of the cover and is provided in its upper part with a receiving part surrounding the sealing edge. The receiving part is supported by a circumferential supporting edge protruding near the sealing edge. Characterized in that the upper edge of the receiving part and the supporting edge is pulled down in an arc to the level of the lower edge of the receiving part, a type of engaging recess is created in this area, which allows the retaining fold on the lid to be gripped under.

Mit dieser Lösung werden aber die aufgezeigten Nachteile nicht beseitigt, insbesondere wird ein Verkleben von Deckel und Behälter nach dem Ausgießen nicht verhindert.With this solution, however, the disadvantages shown are not eliminated; in particular, the lid and container do not stick together after pouring.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter mit Deckel der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß sich der Deckel bei verschlossenem Behälter leichter ergreifen und ohne besonderes Werkzeug abnehmen läßt und bei dem das Ausgießen insbesondere flüssiger oder pastenförmiger Güter erleichtert wird sowie das Eindringen dieser Güter zwischen das Aufnahmeteil und die Wand des Behälters vermieden wird.The invention has for its object to provide a container with a lid of the type mentioned in such a way that the lid is easier to grip and can be removed without special tools when the container is closed and in which the pouring out, in particular, of liquid or pasty goods is facilitated and the penetration of these goods between the receiving part and the wall of the container is avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Oberkante des Aufnahmeteiles und die Tragkante in wenigstens einem Bereich größerer Krümmung des Behälterumfanges bis auf die Ebene der Unterkante der Tragkante bogenförmig heruntergezogen ist, so daß in diesem Bereich eine Eingriffmulde entsteht, die ein Untergeifen des Halteringes des Deckels ermöglicht und daß die Eingriffmulde im unteren Teil als Ausgießer gestaltet ist, der aus den seitlich abgesenkten Flächen der Tragkante und deren unteren ebenen Abschnitt besteht.The object is achieved in that the upper edge of the receiving part and the supporting edge in at least one area of greater curvature of the container circumference is pulled down in an arc down to the level of the lower edge of the supporting edge, so that an engagement trough is formed in this area, which undercuts the retaining ring of the Lid allows and that the engagement trough is designed in the lower part as a spout, which consists of the laterally lowered surfaces of the supporting edge and the lower flat portion.

Wenn ein Behälter dieser Art geöffnet und ganz oder teilweise entleert werden soll, so kann der Deckel in der Eingriffmulde besonders leicht erfaßt und abgezogen werden. Dadurch, daß die Eingriffmulde gleichzeitig als Ausgießer ausgeführt ist, wird das Entleeren des Behälters ebenfalls wesentlich erleichtert und gleichzeitig vermieden, daß beispielsweise Farbe zwischen das Aufnahmeteil und die Wand des Behälters laufen kann. Damit wird verhindert, daß der Deckel festkleben kann, nachdem der Behälter nur teilweise entleert und wieder verschlossen wurde.If a container of this type is to be opened and completely or partially emptied, the lid can be gripped and pulled off particularly easily in the engagement recess. Characterized in that the trough is designed as a spout, emptying the container is also much easier and at the same time avoided that, for example, paint can run between the receiving part and the wall of the container. This prevents the lid from sticking after the container has only been partially emptied and closed again.

In einer Fortbildung der Erfindung ist die Eingriffmulde in einer Ecke des Behälters angeordnet. Soll die Erfindung bei einem eckigen Eimer angewendet werden, so kann der Tragbügel auf übliche Weise unabhängig von der Anordnung der Eingriffmulde mittig an den Seiten des Eimers befestigt werden.In a development of the invention, the engagement trough is arranged in a corner of the container. If the invention is to be applied to a square bucket, the support bracket can be attached in the usual way to the center of the sides of the bucket regardless of the arrangement of the engagement recess.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die Eingriffmulde durch eine abreißbare Blende überdeckt ist, die durch mehrere mit Sollbruchstellen ausgebildete Stege mit dem heruntergezogenen Teil der Tragkante verbunden ist.In a further development of the invention it is further provided that the engagement trough is covered by a tear-off panel which is connected to the pulled-down part of the supporting edge by a plurality of webs formed with predetermined breaking points.

Diese beim Herstellen des Behälters auf einfache Weise anzubringende Blende gestattet das Befüllen und erstmalige Verschließen des Behälters. Ein Öffnen des Behälters ist aber nur nach dem vorherigen Entfernen der Blende möglich, so daß ein unbefugtes Öffnen leicht festzustellen ist.This panel, which can be easily attached when the container is being manufactured, permits the container to be filled and closed for the first time. However, the container can only be opened after the cover has been removed, so that unauthorized opening can be easily determined.

Wie aus Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich, besteht der Behälter 1 aus einem Boden 2 mit einer sich nach oben erstreckenden Wand 3, an deren Ende ein Dichtrand 4 zur Aufnahme eines Deckels 5 angeordnet ist. Entsprechend Figur 2 besitzt der Behälter 1 einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt. Der Dichtrand 4 wird auf der Außenseite des Behälters 1 von einem im Abstand zu diesem angeordneten Aufnahmeteil 6 umgeben, welches durch eine in der Nähe des Dichtrandes 4 aus der Wand 3 hervorstehende umlaufende Tragkante 7 etwa mittig getragen wird. Am oberen Ende des Aufnahmeteils 6 ist auf ihrer der Wand 3 zugewandten Seite eine Schnappkante 8 angeformt, hinter die der Haltefalz 9 des Deckels 5 beim Aufsetzen einrastet. Der Haltefalz 9 umschließt dabei gleichzeitig den Dichtrand 4 des Behälters 1. (Figur 3)
Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist in der Mitte von zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen der Wand 1 die Unterkante des Aufnahmeteiles 6 bogenförmig, eine Lasche 10 bildend, heruntergezogen. In dieser Lasche 10 befindet sich ein Loch 11 zur Aufnahme des umgebogenen Endes eines Tragbügels 12.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the container 1 consists of a base 2 with an upwardly extending wall 3, at the end of which a sealing edge 4 for receiving a lid 5 is arranged. According to Figure 2, the container 1 has a substantially rectangular cross section. The sealing edge 4 is surrounded on the outside of the container 1 by a receiving part 6 arranged at a distance from it, which is supported approximately centrally in the middle by a peripheral supporting edge 7 protruding from the wall 3 near the sealing edge 4. At the upper end of the receiving part 6, a snap edge 8 is formed on its side facing the wall 3, behind which the retaining fold 9 of the cover 5 engages when it is put on. The retaining fold 9 simultaneously encloses the sealing edge 4 of the container 1. (Figure 3)
As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the middle of two opposite side surfaces of the wall 1, the lower edge of the receiving part 6 is pulled down in an arc shape, forming a tab 10. In this tab 10 there is a hole 11 for receiving the bent end of a bracket 12.

Wie aus den Figuren 4 bis 6 ersichtlich, ist zum Öffnen des Deckels 5 in einer der Ecken des Behälters 1 eine Eingriffmulde 13 derart eingearbeitet, daß sowohl die Oberkante des Aufnahmeteiles 6 als auch die Tragkante 7 gemeinsam bis auf die Ebene der Unterkante des Aufnahmeteiles 6 heruntergezogen sind. Dadurch wird in diesem Bereich der Haltefalz 9 frei sichtbar und kann leicht unterfaßt und somit der Deckel 5 abgehoben werden.As can be seen from FIGS. 4 to 6, an opening trough 13 is incorporated into one of the corners of the container 1 in order to open the cover 5 in such a way that both the upper edge of the receiving part 6 and the supporting edge 7 together up to the level of the lower edge of the receiving part 6 are pulled down. As a result, the retaining fold 9 is freely visible in this area and can be easily grasped and thus the cover 5 can be lifted off.

Die seitlichen Flächen der abgesenkten Tragkante 7 und deren unterer ebener Abschnitt bilden gemeinsam einen Ausgießer 14. Dieser Ausgießer 14 ermöglicht ein bequemes Entleeren des Behälters 1, ohne daß beispielsweise Farbe zwischen das Aufnahmeteil 6 und die Außenwand des Behälters 1 laufen kann. Dadurch wird ermöglicht, daß der Behälter 1 teilweise entleert und wieder verschlossen werden kann, ohne daß der Haltefalz 9 in dem durch das Aufnahmeteil 6, die Tragkante 7 und die Außenwand des Behälters 1 gebildeten U-förmigen Teil festkleben kann.The lateral surfaces of the lowered supporting edge 7 and its lower flat section together form a spout 14. This spout 14 enables the container 1 to be emptied comfortably without, for example, paint running between the receiving part 6 and the outer wall of the container 1. This enables the container 1 to be partially emptied and closed again without the retaining fold 9 being able to stick in the U-shaped part formed by the receiving part 6, the supporting edge 7 and the outer wall of the container 1.

Um ein unbefugtes Öffnen des Behälters 1 zu verhindern, bzw. nachträglich feststellen zu können, ist vor der Eingriffmulde 13 eine abreißbare Blende 15 angeordnet. Diese Blende 15 ist durch mehrere als Soll-Bruchstellen ausgebildete Stege 16 mit dem heruntergezogenen Teil der Tragkante 7 verbunden. (Figur 4, 6) Dadurch erscheint das umlaufende Aufnahmeteil 6 in diesem Bereich als geschlossen, so daß deutlich erkennbar ist, daß der Behälter 1 noch nicht geöffnet worden ist.In order to prevent unauthorized opening of the container 1 or to be able to determine it subsequently, a tear-off screen 15 is arranged in front of the engagement trough 13. This diaphragm 15 is connected to the pulled-down part of the supporting edge 7 by a plurality of webs 16 designed as predetermined breaking points. (Figure 4, 6) As a result, the circumferential receiving part 6 appears in this area as closed, so that it can be clearly seen that the container 1 has not yet been opened.

Beim Abreißen der Blende 15 durch Abknicken und gegebenenfalls mehrmaliges Hin- und Herbiegen wird die Eingriffmulde 13 freigelegt, und der Deckel kann, wie bereits dargelegt, abgehoben werden.When the panel 15 is torn off by kinking and, if necessary, repeated bending back and forth, the engagement trough 13 is exposed, and the cover can, as already explained, be lifted off.

Da die Eingriffmulde 13 unabhängig von der Lasche 10 angeordnet werden kann, ist bei einer Anordnung der Eingriffmulde 13 in einer der Ecken des Behälters ein besonders leichtes Öffnen des Deckels möglich.Since the engagement trough 13 can be arranged independently of the tab 10, the lid can be opened particularly easily if the engagement trough 13 is arranged in one of the corners of the container.

Die Erfindung kann ohne weitere Abänderung für runde, eckige oder ovale Behälter verwendet werden. Bei ovalen Behältern, bei denen der Tragbügel 12 üblicherweise diametral gegenüberliegend im Bereich der größten Krümmung der Behälterwand eingehängt ist, ist es möglich, sowohl die zum Einhängen des Bügels erforderlichen Laschen 10 als auch die Eingriffmulden 13 an der gleichen Stelle anzuordnen. Gleichfalls ist es möglich, die Eingriffmulde 13 zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Laschen 10 anzubringen.The invention can be used for round, square or oval containers without further modification. In the case of oval containers, in which the support bracket 12 is usually suspended diametrically opposite in the region of the greatest curvature of the container wall, it is possible to arrange both the tabs 10 required for hanging the bracket and the engagement troughs 13 in the same place. It is also possible to mount the engagement recess 13 between the opposite tabs 10.
