Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verpackungsbehälter für flüssige Produkte mit einem Behälterverschluß, der bei Druckänderung im Behälter selbsttätig öffnet bzw. schließt.The invention relates to a packaging container for liquid products with a Container closure that opens automatically when the pressure changes in the container or closes.

Verpackungsbehälter dieser Art beispielsweise in Flaschenform sind bekannt (vgl. z.B. US-A-5 000 354. Diese Verpackungsbehälter sind z.B. mit einem Membranverschluß versehen, der öffnet, wenn sich im Behälter der Druck erhöht, und der selbsttätig wieder schließt, wenn sich der Druck im Behälter wieder abbaut. Um die Druckerhöhung zu bewirken, ist es dabei notwendig, auf die Behälterseitenwandungen zu drücken, was es erforderlich macht, daß der Verpackungsbehälter ausreichend flexibel gestaltet ist. Dies führt jedoch dazu, daß ein solcher Behälter, insbesondere wenn er schon teilentleert ist, relativ schlecht zu handhaben ist. Außerdem läßt sich ein solcher Behälter, wenn er beispielsweise in sanitären Einrichtungen als Flüssigseifenspender eingesetzt wird, schlecht aufstellen bzw. an einer Wand befestigen.Packaging containers of this type, for example in bottle form, are known (see e.g. US-A-5,000,354. These packaging containers are e.g. provided with a membrane closure, it opens when the pressure in the container increases, and it opens again automatically closes when the pressure in the tank decreases again. To increase the pressure to effect, it is necessary to the container side walls press, which requires that the packaging container be sufficient is flexible. However, this means that such a container, especially if it is already partially emptied and is relatively difficult to handle. Such a container can also be used, for example, in sanitary facilities Equipment is used as a liquid soap dispenser, poorly set up or attach to a wall.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Behälter so zu verbessern, daß er zum einen unabhängig vom Füllstand leicht zu handhaben und zum anderen gut an einer Wand oder dgl. zu befestigen ist.The object of the invention is to create a generic container improve that it is easy to handle regardless of the level and on the other hand it is to be fastened well to a wall or the like.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This task is with a packaging container of the type mentioned Art solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Ein so gestalteter Verpackungsbehälter läßt sich sowohl gut handhaben als auch gut an einer Wand oder dgl. befestigen. Dabei kann er beispielsweise mit seiner planen Fläche an eine plane Wandfläche angeklebt werden oder in einen Standfuß bzw. in eine Wandhalterung eingebracht werden, wobei die wenigstens eine plane Fläche eine verdrehsichere Einbringung in die Halterung bzw. in den Standfuß gewährleistet. Dabei wird der Behälter selbstverständlich mit der Verschlußseite nach unten befestigt, so daß sich unabhängig vom Füllstand flüssiges Produkt immer im Bereich des Behälterverschlusses befindet, so daß durch Druckaufbringung auf die Betätigungsfläche der Druck im Behälter erhöht wird und ein Ausbringen des Produktes ermöglicht. Durch die gezielte Betätigung durch Druck auf die Betätigungsfläche wird dabei ein Instabilwerden des Behälters verhindert.A packaging container designed in this way can be handled well as well also attach well to a wall or the like. He can, for example, with its flat surface can be glued to a flat wall surface or in one Stand or placed in a wall bracket, the at least one flat surface ensures a non-rotatable insertion into the holder guaranteed in the stand. The container is a matter of course attached with the closure side down, so that regardless of Liquid product level always in the area of the container closure located so that the pressure in the Container is raised and the product can be discharged. Through the targeted actuation by pressure on the actuating surface will become unstable of the container prevented.

Zur Erleichterung der Handhabung ist vorgesehen, daß wenigstens zwei Betätigungsflächen vorgesehen sind, die an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden angeordnet sind.To facilitate handling, it is provided that at least two actuating surfaces are provided, which are on two opposite Side walls are arranged.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß der Behälter im Bereich der Betätigungsflächen eine geringere Wandstärke als in den übrigen Behälterbereichen aufweist. Die Wandstärke kann dann vorteilhaft so gewählt werden, daß der Behälter an sich stabil ist und nur im Bereich der Betätigungsflächen bei normaler Kraftaufbringung eingedrückt werden kann.It is also provided that the container in the area of the actuating surfaces a smaller wall thickness than in the other container areas having. The wall thickness can then advantageously be chosen so that the Container itself is stable and only in the area of the actuating surfaces normal force can be pressed.

Zur Erhöhung der Behälterstabilität und zur besseren Fixierbarkeit in einer Wandhalterung oder einem Standfuß kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Behälter zum Einstecken in eine Wandhalterung oder einen Standfuß mit umlaufenden Profilierungen versehen ist.To increase the stability of the container and for better fixability in one Wall bracket or a stand can be provided that the Container for insertion into a wall bracket or a stand circumferential profiles is provided.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß der Behälter querschnittlich rechteckförmig mit abgerundeter Vorderwand ausgebildet ist. Durch die Kombination mit dieser abgerundeten Vorderwand und planen Seitenwänden ergibt sich eine von allen drei sichtbaren Seiten einsehbare Dekorationsfläche. Außerdem wird durch die Befestigung der planen Rückwand an einer Wandfläche durch Verklebung an derselben oder Einrastung in eine Wandhalterung ein Schutz gegen Ausbeulen des Behälters bei Druckaufbringung auf die Betätigungsflächen bewirkt. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Querschnittform liegt in der Kombination der Vorteile von Rechteck- und Kreisform, nämlich einerseits besteht eine isomodulgerechte Form (da rechteckig) und andererseits steht eine optimal squeezbare Flasche (abgerundeter Bereich) zur Verfügung.It is also provided that the container is rectangular in cross section is designed with a rounded front wall. By combining with this rounded front wall and flat side walls results in one of decorative surface visible on all three visible sides. In addition, through the flat rear wall is attached to a wall surface by gluing protection against the same or snapping into a wall bracket Bulging the container when pressure is applied to the actuating surfaces causes. Another advantage of this cross-sectional shape lies in the combination of the Advantages of rectangular and circular shape, namely on the one hand there is an isomodule-compatible Form (because rectangular) and on the other hand is an optimal squeezable Bottle (rounded area) available.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Verpackungsbehälter für flüssige Produkte ist in der Zeichnung allgemein mit 1 bezeichnet. Dieser Verpackungsbehälter ist beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von flüssiger Seife geeignet und weist querschnittlich eine etwa rechteckförmige Form auf, wobei die Rückwand 2 plan ausgebildet ist. An diese Rückwand 2 grenzen etwa rechtwinklig zwei vorzugsweise ebenfalls im wesentlichen plane Seitenwände 3 und 4 an, welche endseitig in eine abgerundete teilzylinderförmige Vorderwand 5 übergehen. An inventive packaging container for liquid products is in the Drawing generally designated 1. This packaging container is for example suitable for absorbing liquid soap and has a cross-section an approximately rectangular shape, the rear wall 2 being flat. At this rear wall 2, two are also preferably at right angles substantially flat side walls 3 and 4, which ends in a rounded go over part-cylindrical front wall 5.

Dieser Behälterquerschnitt ändert sich ausgehend von einer Bodenwand 6 im wesentlichen über der Höhe des Behälters 1 nicht, am oberen Ende gehen die Wände 2, 3, 4 und 5 jedoch über mit 7 bezeichnete Abschrägungen in eine Behälteröffnung mit Behälterverschluß über, welcher mit 8 bezeichnet ist. Dieser Behälterverschluß 8 ist vorzugsweise als an sich bekannter Membranverschluß ausgebildet, der ein Austreten des Produktes aus dem Verpackungsbehälter 1 ermöglicht, wenn sich der Behälterinnendruck erhöht, und der aber wieder verschließt, wenn sich der Behälterinnendruck verringert. Der Behälterverschluß 8 kann zusätzlich noch mit einer Transportschutzkappe versehen sein, die mit 9 angedeutet ist.This cross section of the container changes from a bottom wall 6 in not substantially above the height of the container 1, the go at the upper end Walls 2, 3, 4 and 5, however, via 7 bevels in a container opening with container closure, which is designated 8. This Container closure 8 is preferably a membrane closure known per se trained to prevent the product from escaping from the packaging container 1 enables when the pressure inside the tank increases, but again closes when the pressure inside the container decreases. The container closure 8 can also be provided with a transport protection cap, which with 9 is indicated.

In den beiden Seitenwänden 3 und 4 sind in derselben Höhe gegenüberliegend zwei ein- oder ausgewölbte Betätigungsflächen 10 vorgesehen, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als konkave Druckmulden ausgebildet sind. Der Bereich dieser Betätigungsflächen 10 ist gegenüber den übrigen Behälterwandbereichen mit einer geringeren Wandstärke ausgebildet, so daß ein Eindrücken der Behälterwandung im Bereich der Betätigungsflächen 10 mit geringem Kraftaufwand möglich ist. Im übrigen Bereich ist die Wandstärke der Behälterwandungen so gewählt, daß mit geringem Kraftaufwand im wesentlichen keine Verformung des Behälters möglich ist. Dabei sind zur Stabilitätserhöhung Profilierungen in Rillenform oder dgl. vorgesehen, diese Profilierungen sind mit 11 bezeichnet.In the two side walls 3 and 4 are at the same height two protruding or arched actuating surfaces 10 are provided opposite one another, which are designed as concave pressure troughs in the exemplary embodiment. The area of these actuating surfaces 10 is opposite the other container wall areas formed with a smaller wall thickness, so that pressing in the container wall in the area of the actuating surfaces 10 is possible with little effort. In the rest of the area is the wall thickness the container walls selected so that with little effort essentially no deformation of the container is possible. Here are to increase stability Profiles in the form of grooves or the like are provided, these profiles are designated by 11.

Die Rückwand des Behälters 1 kann mit einer Klebebeschichtung versehen sein, was es ermöglicht, den Behälter 1 auf einfache Weise an einer Wandfläche zu befestigen. Die Klebebeschichtung kann z. B. von einem Doppelklebeband gebildet sein, wobei die vom Behälter 1 abgewandte Seite dann natürlich mit einer Schutzfolie versehen ist, die vor der Anbringung des Behälters 1 an der Wandfläche vom Benutzer abzuziehen ist. Anstelle eines Klebebandes kann auch ein Klettband oder dgl. verwendet werden. Dabei wird der Behälter selbstverständlich so an der Wand befestigt, daß sich der Behälterverschluß 8 an der Unterseite befindet, d.h. der Behälter befindet sich dann in Überkopfstellung. Aufgrund der Behältergestaltung und der Befestigung der planen Rückwand 2 an einer Wand steht ein stabiler Behälter zur Verfügung, der auch bei Druckanwendung nicht zum Ausbeulen neigt. Soll Produkt entnommen werden, so wird von der Benutzerhand Druck auf die beiden Betätigungsflächen 10 ausgeübt, so daß sich das Behälterinnenvolumen verringert und somit der Druck im Behälter steigt, wodurch Produkt aus dem Behälter durch das Membranventil des Behälterverschlusses 8 austreten kann. Dies ist unabhängig vom Füllstand des Behälters 1, weil aufgrund der Stabilität des Behälters 1 ein zuverlässiger Druckaufbau durch gezieltes Eindrücken der Betätigungsflächen 10 gewährleistet ist.The rear wall of the container 1 can be provided with an adhesive coating, which enables the container 1 to be easily attached to a wall surface fasten. The adhesive coating can e.g. B. formed by a double-sided tape be, the side facing away from the container 1 then of course with a Protective film is provided, before attaching the container 1 to the wall surface is to be subtracted from the user. Instead of an adhesive tape, a Velcro or the like can be used. The container is a matter of course attached to the wall so that the container closure 8 on the Underside, i.e. the container is then upside down. Due to the container design and the attachment of the flat rear wall 2 A stable container is available on a wall, even when pressure is applied does not tend to bulge. If product is to be removed, see above pressure is exerted on the two actuating surfaces 10 by the user's hand, so that the inner volume of the container is reduced and thus the pressure in the Container rises, causing product from the container through the diaphragm valve of the container closure 8 can emerge. This is independent of the level of the container 1, because of the stability of the container 1 a reliable Pressure build-up guaranteed by deliberately pressing the actuating surfaces 10 is.

Wenn ein Ankleben des Behälters 1 an einer Wandfläche nicht gewünscht ist, kann auch ein zusätzlicher Standfuß oder eine Wandhalterung vorgesehen sein. Eine solche Wandhalterung ist gestrichelt in den Figuren 1 bis 3 angedeutet und mit 12 bezeichnet. Dabei sind die Innenabmessungen der Wandhalterung 12 und die Außenabmessungen des Behälters 1 und insbesondere die Profilierungen 11 so gewählt, daß der Behälter 1 rastend in die ringförmige Wandhalterung 12 eingesetzt werden kann. Die Wandhalterung 12 selbst kann an die zugeordnete Wandfläche angeklebt oder mittels Schrauben oder dgl. an der Wand befestigt werden. Diese Lösung mit Wandhalterung 12 bietet den zusätzlichen Vorteil, daß der Verpackungsbehälter 1, wenn er entleert ist, leicht ausgewechselt werden kann. Dabei ist aufgrund der Behälterform und der korrespondierende Innenform der Wandhalterung 12 eine genaue, verdrehsichere Positionierung des Verpackungsbehälters 1 in der Wandhalterung 12 gewährleistet. Aufgrund der Rastverbindung ist gleichzeitig auch eine psychologische Diebstahlsicherung gegeben, da bei der Einbringung bzw. Entnahme des Behälters 1 ein gewisser Widerstand zu überwinden ist. If it is not desired to glue the container 1 to a wall surface, an additional stand or a wall bracket can also be provided. Such a wall bracket is indicated by dashed lines in FIGS. 1 to 3 and designated 12. The internal dimensions of the wall bracket 12 are and the outer dimensions of the container 1 and in particular the profiles 11 chosen so that the container 1 snaps into the ring Wall bracket 12 can be used. The wall bracket 12 itself can glued to the assigned wall surface or by means of screws or the like be attached to the wall. This solution with wall bracket 12 offers the additional advantage that the packaging container 1, when emptied, easily can be replaced. It is due to the shape of the container and corresponding inner shape of the wall bracket 12 an accurate, non-rotating Positioning the packaging container 1 in the wall bracket 12 guaranteed. Because of the locking connection there is also one psychological theft protection given, because during the introduction or removal the container 1 to overcome a certain resistance.

Durch die abgerundete Gestaltung der Vorderwand 5 und der geraden Seitenwände 3 und 4 ergibt sich eine von allen drei Seiten sichtbare optimale Dekorationsfläche.Due to the rounded design of the front wall 5 and the straight side walls 3 and 4 results in an optimal visible from all three sides Decorative surface.

Wie am besten aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, ist vorzugsweise der Behälterverschluß 8 asymmetrisch, d.h. mit größerem Abstand zur Wand angeordnet, um eine einwandfreie Produktentnahme zu gewährleisten.As can best be seen from FIG. 3, the container closure 8 is preferably asymmetrical, i.e. arranged at a greater distance from the wall to a to ensure flawless product removal.

Natürlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind möglich, ohne den in den Ansprüchen definierten Bereich zu verlassen. So ist selbstverständlich auch eine Kombination mit einem Standfuß möglich und dgl. mehr.Of course, the invention is not based on the illustrated embodiment limited. Further configurations are possible without the range defined in the claims to leave. Of course, this is also a combination with a stand possible and the like. more.
