Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging means, which a first part, in particular one Container or bottle, with an at least partially perpendicular to the circumferential direction resilient peripheral wall, and a second part encompassing the peripheral wall includes.
  • the invention particularly relates to a container for storing cleaning and Care products.
  • containers although often made of relatively rigid plastic materials are formed, can be desired due to their shape under an external force Deformation or bulging is experienced around the product stored inside the containers to put under pressure, which facilitates the emptying of the containers.
  • the containers can e.g. consist of relatively rigid polyolefins, such as PE or PP, and therefore have mostly smooth, hard-feeling surfaces on which product information etc. may be upset. It is known (US-A-5718334) from a bag-shaped container part to surround film-like plastic material with a stiffening shell, both parts are fixed against each other by a cap part placed on the stiffening shell.
  • the invention has for its object a packaging of the aforementioned type without significant impairment of its functionality and external shape To create surface areas of different surface properties.
  • the invention is intended to create a packaging material which has an outer Can have surface hard and hard on desired areas in the conventional manner can be smooth and soft in other desired areas.

Nevertheless, both parts can be put together that they appear externally to the consumer as a part that the exterior Configuration of conventional containers and can be handled just like this can.
  • the invention therefore enables the provision of Containers with areas of hard and smooth surfaces and areas of soft and rough surfaces and thus meets an as yet unsatisfied need for such Configurations.
  • the packaging means according to the invention which is a container such as a Bottle, tube, or the like., Includes the general reference number 1 bearing first part or container and a bandage bearing the general reference number 2 or an additional part.
  • the container 1 is only fragmentary in the area of one of its axial ends, in the present case of the upper end. However, it is understood that the invention is based on this Area of the container 1 is not limited, but, if desired, also on the other axial end region of the container or at both axial end regions can be provided.
  • the container 1 has a peripheral wall 3, which in cross section is a non-circular, e.g. oval or rounded rectangular shape.
  • the peripheral wall 3 opposite broad sides 5, 6 and narrow sides 7, 8, cf. 5, the broad sides 5, 6 due to their lower curvature and larger area than the narrow sides 7, 8 a have less dimensional stability and therefore under an external one Hand force can be slightly deformed or dented radially inwards. This deformation is desired since this exerts pressure on a product stored in the container 1 can be what its output through a discharge opening of the container 1, not shown facilitated.
  • the container 1 can be made of a suitable plastic material, such as a polyolefin, e.g. Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) exist and preferably after Blow molding processes are formed in a manner known to those skilled in the art. Other Plastic materials can also be used for the container 1 if desired.
  • PE Polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • peripheral wall 3 On the peripheral wall 3, as shown in FIG. 1, is along a circumferential, in the present case in FIG responsively contoured shoulder 9 a radially slightly inward Delimited peripheral wall area 4, which can be accommodated by the bandage 2 and through an end wall 10, cf. Fig. 4 is axially limited.
  • a radially slightly inward Delimited peripheral wall area 4 which can be accommodated by the bandage 2 and through an end wall 10, cf.
  • Fig. 4 is axially limited.
  • Each rear gripping receptacle 11, 12, as shown in FIG. 4 has one in the longitudinal direction of the container 1 extending groove 13 with an axial opening on the end wall 10 Introductory.
  • the cross-sectional configuration of the groove 13 is such that it is L-shaped or T-shaped Back grip bar 30, 31 can be added to the bandage 2, cf. 2 and 3 what will be described in more detail below.
  • the groove 13 can be a Have extension 14, which facilitates the insertion of the rear grip bar 30, 31.
  • each rear grip recess 15, 16 is basically identical and includes one lying in an axial plane Rear surface 17, a radially outwardly spaced in an axial plane Rear gripping surface 18 and a bottom surface 19, which the rear gripping recess 15, 16 on one closes axial end, which is located away from the end wall 10 of the container 1, cf. Fig. 4.
  • the opposite, other axial end of the rear gripping recess adjacent to the end wall 10 15, 16 is open and enables a rear engagement element 32 or 33 on the bandage 2 in the relevant rear engaging recess 15, 16 can be inserted, whereupon will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the rear gripping recesses 15, 16 and Rear gripping elements 32, 33 help to prevent that between the container 1 and the drum 2 a relative rotation can occur.
  • each rear gripping recess 15, 16 there is a radially outwardly projecting Locking strip 20 is provided, the locking cams 34 projecting radially inwards to the Behind gripping elements 32, 33 of the bandage 2 can be grasped relative to the bandage 2 to fix the container 1 axially.
  • the bandage 2 comprises a peripheral wall 21, which is similar to that Circumferential wall area 4 of the container 1 opposite broad sides 22, 23 and narrow sides 24, 25 has.
  • One of the narrow sides 24, 25 can have a greater axial extent than the other Have narrow side.
  • the peripheral wall 21 has an end edge 26 which with the shoulder 9 of the Container peripheral wall 3 can come into contact, so that the outer surfaces of the Circumferential wall 21 of the bandage 2 and the circumferential wall 3 of the container 1 into one another aligned relationship when the upper end region of the container I in the bandage 2 is included.
  • the bandage 2 also has, as shown in FIG. 2, a bottom 28 in which a Opening 29 can be provided.
  • a rear engaging web 30, 31 projects from the inner surface of the broad sides 22, 23 from.
  • Each rear grip web 30 or 31 can be in a respective rear grip holder 11 or 12 of the container 1 are received and has one of the groove 13 of the concerned Rear gripping receptacle 11, 12 adapted axial length and a cross-sectional configuration that a dovetail relationship between the Back grip bar 30, 31 and the rear grip holder 11, 12 allows.
