Abstract

The liquid-containing bag is produced integrally from two sheets (4; 5) which are welded to on another along the edge region (3), and the bag forms two chambers (6; 7) which are separated from one another by a separating strip (8). A drinking or dispensing spout (2) is welded with sealing action in the separating strip (8), in which case this connects the two chambers (6, 7) in the open state, the one bag chamber (6) being intended for receiving the liquid, while the other bag chamber (7), as a protective chamber, encompasses the outer spout end (9) and encloses the same with sealing action.

Description

Diese Erfindung betrifft einen hermetisch verschlossenen Flüssigkeitsbeutel mit eingeschweisstem Trink- oder Spenderstutzen. Flüssigkeitsbeutel mit allerlei Verschlüssen sind in vielen Varianten bekannt. Die Beutel können aus Tierhäuten, Därmen, aus Gummi oder auch aus Kunststoff-Folienmaterial hergestellt sein. Flüssigkeitsbeutel aus Kunststoff-Folienmaterial sind besonders praktisch, weil sie leicht sind, verschiedene Formen annehmen können und somit auch leichter tragbar oder verstaubar sind, und wenn sie mal leer sind, nicht viel Platz beanspruchen, und schliesslich, weil sie problemlos entsorgbar sind. Weil solche Flüssigkeitsbeutel aus Kunststoff-Folien meist für den Einweggebrauch bestimmt sind, muss der zugehörige Verschluss sehr kostengünstig herstellbar sein. In der Medizin werden solche Beutel auch zum Verabreichen von Infusionen eingesetzt. Diese Beutel müssen auch eine Erstöffnungsgarantie bieten. Als nächstliegender Stand der Technik ist US 6 131 806 anzusehen. Dort wird jedoch der Schutzbeutel ganz weggerissen und bildet ein wegzuwerfendes Teil. Ausserdem ist der Verschluß selbst nicht hermetisch verschlossen, indem er Schlitze aufweist. Er wird durch Zusammendrücken des Beutels geöffnet, indem das Innere unter einen höherer Druck als der aussen anliegende Atmosphärendruck gesetzt wird. Dadurch wird der Inhalt durch die Schlitz ausgepresst. Der Verschluß eignet sich daher nicht als Trinkverschluss. WO 2004/024579 zeigt einen Beutel mit integriertem Verschluß, der einen wegreissbaren Hygiene-Schutzbeutel aufweist, der längs einer Reisslinie weggerissen und sodann weggeworfen wird, was ebenfalls Kunststoff-Abfall erzeugt. Ausserdem wird durch das Öffnen des zugehörigen Verschlusses dessen Kappe entfernt, und auch diese bildet dann ein wegwerfbares gesondertes Teil. Die bisher bekannten Lösungen sind jedoch aufwändig. Die Verschlüsse bestehen aus mehreren Teilen und sind daher teuer. Die Lösungen für die Erstöffnungsgarantie sind kompliziert und aufwändig in der Herstellung.This invention relates to a hermetically sealed fluid bag with welded-in drinking or dispensing nozzle. Liquid bags with all sorts of closures are known in many variants. The bags can be made of animal skins, intestines, rubber or plastic film material. Liquid plastic film bags are particularly convenient because they are lightweight, can take various forms, and thus are more portable or stowable, and when empty, do not take up much space, and finally because they are easily disposable. Because such liquid bags made of plastic films are usually intended for disposable use, the associated closure must be very inexpensive to produce. In medicine, such bags are also used to administer infusions. These bags must also offer a first-opening guarantee. As the closest prior art US 6,131,806 to watch. There, however, the protective bag is completely torn away and forms a wegzuwerfendes part. Moreover, the closure itself is not hermetically sealed by having slots. It is opened by squeezing the bag by placing the interior under a higher pressure than the outside atmospheric pressure. As a result, the content is squeezed out through the slot. The closure is therefore not suitable as a drinking cap. WO 2004/024579 shows a bag with integrated closure having a tearable sanitary protective bag which is torn away along a tear line and then thrown away, which also produces plastic waste. In addition, will removed by opening the associated closure whose cap, and this also forms a disposable separate part. However, the previously known solutions are expensive. The closures consist of several parts and are therefore expensive. The solutions for the first opening guarantee are complicated and expensive to manufacture.

Die Aufgabe dieser Erfindung liegt darin, einen solchen Flüssigkeitsbeutel mit Trink-oder Spenderstutzen anzugeben, der hermetisch dicht ist, einen praktischen Verschluss mit Stutzen aufweist und eine Erstöffnungsgarantie bietet, wobei er besonders kostengünstig in der Herstellung sein soll. In einer Variante soll damit eine Trinkbeutel herstellbar sein, in einer weiteren Variante ein Beutel zum Zudosieren einer Flüssigkeit, indem diese aus dem Beutel abgesaugt wird.The object of this invention is to provide such a fluid bag with drinking or dispensing nozzle, which is hermetically sealed, has a practical closure with nozzle and offers a Erstöffnungsgarantie, where he should be particularly inexpensive to manufacture. In one variant, a drinking bag should thus be producible, in a further variant of a bag for dosing a liquid by being sucked out of the bag.

Diese Aufgabe löst ein hermetisch verschlossener Flüssigkeitsbeutel mit eingeschweisstem Trink- oder Spenderstutzen mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gemäss dem Patentanspruch 1. Die besonderen Merkmale sind, dass der Flüssigkeitsbeutel zwei hermetisch geschlossene Kammern bildet, die entweder durch einen Trennstreifen an einem einstückigen Beutel voneinander separiert sind, oder durch Zusammenschweissen zweier einzelner Beutel längs eines Trennstreifens erzeugt sind. Weiter ist im Trennstreifen der Trink- oder Spenderstutzen dichtend eingeschweisst, sodass er in geöffnetem Zustand die beiden Kammern verbindet, wobei die eine Beutelkammer zur Aufnahme der Flüssigkeit bestimmt ist, während die andere Beutelkammer als Schutzkammer das äussere Stutzenende umschliesst und dichtend einschliesst. Der Beutel läßt sich ohne Erzeugung von wegzuwerfendem Abfall öffnen.This object is achieved by a hermetically sealed fluid bag with welded drinking or dispensing nozzle with the characterizing features according to claim 1. The special features are that the fluid bag forms two hermetically sealed chambers, which are separated from each other either by a separating strip on a one-piece bag, or are produced by welding together two individual bags along a separating strip. Next, the drinking or dispensing nozzle is sealingly welded in the separating strip, so that it connects the two chambers in the open state, one bag chamber is intended to hold the liquid, while the other bag chamber encloses the outer end of the nozzle as a protective chamber and sealingly encloses. The bag can be opened without generating waste to be discarded.

Wie man in Figur 1 sieht, besteht der Flüssigkeitsbeutel 1 aus zwei voneinander getrennten Kammern 6,7. Der Beutel wird hergestellt, indem zwei aufeinanderliegende Kunststoff-Folien 4,5 längs ihres Randes 3 miteinander verschweisst werden. Im Trennstreifen 8, der den Beutel in die zwei Kammern 6,7 aufteilt, wird gleichzeitig ein Trink-oder Spenderstutzen 2 dichtend eingeschweisst. Der Randabschnitt 11 unten an der Beutelkammer 6 wird zunächst noch nicht verschweisst. Die untere Beutelkammer 6 ist hier die Flüssigkeitskammer. Sie wird später von unten her befüllt, wozu der Beutel um 180° gedreht wird, also auf die Kopfseite gestürzt gehalten wird. In dieser Lage wird er befüllt und hernach wird der Randabschnitt 11 auf seiner Unterseite verschweisst. Der Trink- oder Spenderstutzen 2 selbst ist ein einstückig hergestelltes Kunststoff-Spritzteil. Dieser Stutzen 2 besteht aus einem Sockel 10 und einem zugehörigen Ausguss-Stutzen 9. Die obere Beutelkammer 7 schliesst den eingeschweissten Ausguss-Stutzen 9 komplett ein und dichtet ihn hermetisch gegen aussen ab. Sie bildet damit eine Erstöffnungsgarantie. Damit diese obere Beutelkammer 7 geöffnet werden kann, läuft sie oben in zwei freiliegende Laschen 12,13 aus. Diese sind einfach Verlängerungen an den beiden Folienstücken 4,5, aus denen der Beutel 7 durch Zusammenschweissen entsteht, und weil sie nicht zusammengeschweisst werden, bleiben sie frei und können daher mit den Händen ergriffen werden.How to get in FIG. 1 sees, the liquid bag 1 consists of two separate chambers 6,7. The bag is made by welding two superimposed plastic films 4, 5 together along their edge 3. In separating strip 8, which divides the bag into the two chambers 6,7, a drinking or dispensing nozzle 2 is sealed at the same time sealing. The edge portion 11 at the bottom of the bag chamber 6 is initially not welded. The lower bag chamber 6 is here the liquid chamber. It is later filled from below, for which the bag is rotated by 180 °, so it is kept falling on the head side. In this position it is filled and afterwards the edge portion 11 is welded on its underside. The drinking or dispensing nozzle 2 itself is a one-piece manufactured plastic injection molded part. This nozzle 2 consists of a base 10 and an associated spout 9. The upper bag chamber 7 closes the welded spout 9 completely and seals it hermetically against the outside. It forms an initial opening guarantee. So that this upper bag chamber 7 can be opened, it ends up in two exposed tabs 12,13. These are simply extensions on the two pieces of film 4,5, from which the bag 7 is formed by welding together, and because they are not welded together, they remain free and can therefore be grasped with the hands.

In der Figur 2 sieht man den Flüssigkeitsbeutel mit den zwei Kammern 6,7 von der Seite. Unten erkennt man die Kammer 6 für die Flüssigkeit, darüber die Kammer 7, welche den Ausguss-Stutzen 9 mit Abstand zu ihm dichtend umschliesst. Der Sockel 10 des Stutzens 2 ist in den Streifen 8 eingeschweisst, der die beiden Kammern 6,7 voneinander dichtend trennt. Die obere Kammer 7 läuft in zwei Laschen 12,13 aus, das heisst die beiden Folienstücke 4,5 laufen oben je in ein freies Stück aus, sodass diese beiden freiliegenden Griff-Laschen 12,13 gebildet werden. Diese obere Beutelkammer 7 bietet eine Erstöffnungsgarantie. Solange sie unbeschädigt ist, zeigt das an, dass der Flüssigkeitsbeutel und sein Verschluss noch nie geöffnet oder angebraucht wurden.In the FIG. 2 you can see the liquid bag with the two chambers 6,7 from the side. Below you can see the chamber 6 for the liquid, about the chamber 7, which encloses the spout nozzle 9 at a distance to him sealing. The base 10 of the nozzle 2 is welded into the strip 8, which separates the two chambers 6,7 sealingly. The upper chamber 7 terminates in two tabs 12,13, that is, the two pieces of film 4,5 run up each in a free piece, so that these two exposed handle tabs 12,13 are formed. This upper bag chamber 7 offers a tamper evidence. As long as it is undamaged, it indicates that the fluid pouch and its closure have never been opened or used.

Die Figur 3 zeigt den Trink- und Spenderstutzen 2 gesondert dargestellt. Solche Trink-und Spenderstutzen gibt es bereits. Wie hier ersichtlich weist ein solcher Trink- und Spenderstutzten 2 einen Sockel 10 auf Dieser Sockel 10 hat hier die Form eines Schiffchens, wobei die Seitenwände dieses Schiffchens gerillt ausgeführt sind. Damit können die Schiffchenwände besonders innig und dichtend mit einer Kunststoff-Folie verschweisst werden. Anstellen eines Schiffchens kann auch eine ovale oder runde Form treten. Das Schiffchen ist von einer Bohrung 17 durchsetzt, die auf der Unterseite und Oberseite des Schiffchens 10 nach aussen mündet. Auf der Oberseite des Schiffchens ist ein Ausguss-Stutzen 9 angeformt bzw. angespritzt. Dieser Ausguss-Stutzen 9 besteht aus einem leicht gummielastischen Material. Der Ausguss-Stutzen 9 bildet am Ende eine Lippe 14 mit Lippenlinie 16. Diese Lippenlinie ist von einer Dünnstelle verschlossen. Wenn der Ausguss-Stutzen 9 verdreht wird, reisst die Dünnstelle und der Ausguss-Stutzen 9 ist hernach geöffnet. Dieses Verdrehen kann geschehen, indem der Ausguss-Stutzen zwischen Daumen und gebeugtem Zeigefinger eingeklemmt und hernach verdreht wird. Dadurch entstehen Torsionskräfte, welche zum Aufreissen der Dünnstelle führen. Andrerseits kann die Lippe des Ausguss-Stutzens 9 auch geöffnet werden, indem der Ausguss-Stutzen in den Mund geführt wird, sodass die Lippe 14 im rechten Winkel zur Mundlippe verläuft. Dann beisst man in Richtung der Lippenlinie 16 die Ausgusslippe 14 zusammen, was ebenfalls zum Aufreissen der Dünnstelle und Öffnen der Lippe 14 führt. Dieses Zusammendrücken der Lippe in Verlaufrichtung der Lippenlinie 16 kann auch mit zwei Fingern erfolgen. Der Stutzen kann optional mit einem Druckknopf-Verschluss 20,21 ausgerüstet sein. Dieser erlaubt es, dass man den Stutzen um die eingezeichnete gestrichelte Linie 22 umknicken kann und dann den Druckknopf 20 schliessen kann. In dieser umgeknickten Lage ist der Stutzen flüssigkeitsdicht. Diese Verschliessbarkeit des Stutzens erlaubt es, dass zunächst nur ein Teil des Beutels ausgetrunken wird, und der Beutel dicht weiter aufbewahrt werden kann.The FIG. 3 shows the drinking and dispensing nozzle 2 shown separately. Such drinking and dispensing nozzles are already available. As can be seen here, such a drinking and Spenderstutzten 2 a base 10 on this base 10 here has the shape of a boat, the side walls of this boat are made grooved. Thus, the shuttle walls can be welded particularly intimately and sealingly with a plastic film become. Hiring a shuttle can also be oval or round. The boat is penetrated by a hole 17, which opens on the underside and top of the shuttle 10 to the outside. On the top of the shuttle a spout 9 is molded or molded. This spout 9 is made of a slightly rubber-elastic material. The spout 9 forms at the end a lip 14 with lip line 16. This lip line is closed by a thin spot. When the spout 9 is twisted, the thin point ruptures and the spout 9 is opened afterwards. This twisting can be done by pinching the spout between the thumb and the bent forefinger and then twisting it. This creates torsional forces which lead to tearing of the thin spot. On the other hand, the lip of the spout 9 can also be opened by the spout nozzle is guided into the mouth, so that the lip 14 is at right angles to the mouth lip. Then you bite in the direction of the lip line 16, the spout lip 14 together, which also leads to the tearing of the thin spot and opening the lip 14. This compression of the lip in the direction of the lip line 16 can also be done with two fingers. The nozzle can optionally be equipped with a push-button closure 20,21. This allows one to bend the neck around the drawn dashed line 22 and then close the push button 20. In this folded position, the neck is liquid-tight. This closeability of the nozzle allows that initially only a portion of the bag is drunk, and the bag can be kept tightly.

Zum erstmaligen Öffnen eines solchen Flüssigkeitsbeutels ergreift man die beiden Laschen 12,13 und reisst sie auseinander, sodass die Verschweissung der oberen Beutelkammer 7 reisst. Man klappt dann die beiden Folienteile um, wie das in der Figur 4 dargestellt ist. Dadurch wird der Trink- und Spenderausguss 2 freigelegt und der Trinkstutzen 9 kann in den Mund geführt werden und seine Lippe 14 geöffnet werden. Zum Trinken muss natürlich der Beutel höher liegen als der Trinkstutzen, es sei denn man verwendet einen Trinkhalm, der sich durch die geöffnete Lippe 14 des Stutzens 9 in die Flüssigkeitskammer 6 einführen lässt, indem man die beiden Lippenenden gegeneinander drückt, wodurch die Lippe geöffnet wird und der Trinkhalm eingeführt werden kann. Der untere Beutel 6 kann in einer Variante auch als Stehbeutel gefertigt sein, was es erlaubt, den einmal geöffneten Beutel wieder auf eine Ablagefläche hinzustellen.To open such a liquid bag for the first time, one grips the two tabs 12, 13 and tears them apart so that the welding of the upper bag chamber 7 breaks. It then works out the two parts of the slide, as in the FIG. 4 is shown. As a result, the drinking and dispensing spout 2 is exposed and the drinking spout 9 can be guided into the mouth and its lip 14 can be opened. For drinking, of course, the bag must be higher than the drinking spout, unless one uses a drinking straw, which can be inserted through the open lip 14 of the nozzle 9 in the liquid chamber 6 by pressing the two lip ends against each other, whereby the lip is opened and the drinking straw can be introduced. The lower bag 6 may be made in a variant as a stand-up bag, which allows to put the once opened bag back on a shelf.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine zweite Variante eines solchen hermetisch verschlossenen Flüssigkeitsbeutels. Diese Variante ist besonders für medizinische Zwecke gedacht, aber auch für Zwecke, wo eine Flüssigkeit nach und anch durch Absaugen aus deinem Beutel entnommen werden soll, zum Beispiel in einem Getränkeautomaten. Im einzigen Unterschied zur ersten, oben vorgestellten Variante ist hier der Trink- und Spenderstutzen 2 um 180° gedreht eingeschweisst. Der Sockel 10 ist wiederum in den Streifen 8 eingeschweisst, aber der Stutzen 9 ragt hier nach unten in die Beutelkammer 6, welche die Flüssigkeit enthält. Diese Variante ist auch noch mit einem Stanzloch 15 im Randbereich des Flüssigkeitsbeutels 6 ausgerüstet, damit der Beutel an einem Haken aufhängbar ist.The FIG. 5 shows a second variant of such a hermetically sealed liquid bag. This variant is particularly intended for medical purposes, but also for purposes where a liquid is to be removed by suction and suction from your bag, for example in a vending machine. In the only difference to the first, presented above variant here the drinking and dispensing nozzle 2 is welded turned by 180 °. The base 10 is in turn welded into the strip 8, but the nozzle 9 protrudes down into the bag chamber 6, which contains the liquid. This variant is also equipped with a punched hole 15 in the edge region of the liquid bag 6, so that the bag can be hung on a hook.

Wie diese Variante des Flüssigkeitsbeutels für zum Beispiel medizinische Infusionen geöffnet und gebraucht wird, ist in Figur 6 gezeigt. Zunächst wird die obere Beutelkammer 7 wie schon beschrieben aufgerissen, indem die beiden freiliegenden Laschen 12,13 ergriffen und voneinander weggezogen werden. Dadurch reisst die Verschweissung der oberen Beutelkammer 7. Es wird dadurch aber nicht der Ausguss des Stutzens freigelegt, sondern bloss die unteren Mündung der Bohrung durch den Stutzensockel 10. Jetzt kann eine stabförmige hohle Sonde 18 von oben durch die Bohrung geführt und von innen in den Ausguss-Stutzen 9 gestossen werden. Wird diese Sonde 18 kräftig von innen her durch den Ausguss-Stutzen 9 gestossen, so reisst die Lippe 14 auf, bzw. die Dünnstelle, welche die Lippe verschliesst. Die Sonde 18 wird soweit in den Beutel gestossen, bis ihr Ende an der unteren Ecke des Flüssigkeitsbeutels anliegt. In dieser Lage wird sie festgehalten, weil die Sonde 18 oder der an ihr hängende Schlauch 19 von der geöffneten Lippe 14 des Ausguss-Stutzens 9 umklammert wird und ihn verrutschsicher festhält. Der Flüssigkeitsbeutel wird sodann mit seinem Stanzloch 15 an einen Haken 19 gehängt, sodass er schief hängt, damit eine Beutelecke zuunterst liegt, wie in Figur 6 gezeigt. Jetzt kann der Inhalt des Flüssigkeitsbehälters abgesaugt werden und es ist sichergestellt, dass der Flüssigkeitsbeutel vollständig entleert werden kann.How this variant of the fluid bag is opened and used for, for example, medical infusions is in FIG. 6 shown. First, the upper bag chamber 7 is torn open as already described by the two exposed tabs 12,13 are grasped and pulled away from each other. It is thereby not exposed the spout of the nozzle, but only the lower mouth of the bore through the socket base 10. Now, a rod-shaped hollow probe 18 is guided from above through the hole and from the inside into the Spout 9 are pushed. If this probe 18 is pushed vigorously from the inside through the spout 9, the lip 14 ruptures, or the thin spot which closes the lip. The probe 18 is pushed into the bag until its end abuts the lower corner of the liquid bag. In this position, it is held, because the probe 18 or hanging on her hose 19 is clasped by the open lip 14 of the spout 9 and it holds firmly against slipping. The liquid bag is then hung with its punch hole 15 to a hook 19 so that it hangs crooked so that a bag corner is at the bottom, as in FIG. 6 shown. Now the contents of the liquid container can be sucked off and it is ensured that the liquid bag can be completely emptied.
