Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungseinheit zur Verpackung und Portionierung eines Mediums, beispielsweise aus dem Bereich der Medizin, der Kosmetik, der Chemie oder der Lebensmittelindustrie, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Die Verpackungseinheit weist zwei aneinander angeordnete flächige Elemente auf, die beispielsweise durch Folien, schalen- oder deckelartige Kunststoffteile beziehungsweise durch eine Kombination eines festen Kunststoffteiles mit einer Folie gebildet sind. Durch den Begriff "flächig" soll hierbei lediglich ausgesagt sein, dass sich die Elemente im Wesentlichen über eine Fläche erstrecken, wobei sie jedoch insbesondere nicht flach ausgebildet sein müssen, sondern auch gewisse Konturen aufweisen können. Die beiden flächigen Elemente bilden durch bereichsweise Beabstandung voneinander eine geschlossene Kammer aus. In einem die Kammer umschließenden Bundbereich sind die flächigen Elemente miteinander verbunden, wobei der Bundbereich durch einen Außenrand begrenzt ist. Zur kontrollierten Abgabe eines in der Kammer gespeicherten Mediums weist diese eine Verjüngung auf, die einen mit der Kammer verbundenen Austrittspfad bildet, der nach Außen hin geöffnet werden kann. Hierzu erstreckt sich die Verjüngung in einen vom Bundbereich abtrennbaren Trennabschnitt hinein. Dieser Trennabschnitt ist über eine die Verjüngung schneidende Sollbruchlinie mit dem übrigen Bundbereich verbunden, wobei die Sollbruchlinie zur Herstellung der Öffnung an der Verjüngung dient.The invention relates to a packaging unit for packaging and portioning a medium, for example from the field of medicine, cosmetics, the chemical industry or the food industry, according to the preamble of claim 1. The packaging unit has two juxtaposed flat elements, for example, by films, shell-shaped or lid-like plastic parts or by a combination of a solid plastic part are formed with a film. The term "planar" should in this case merely state that the elements essentially extend over a surface, but in particular they need not be flat, but may also have certain contours. The two sheet-like elements form a closed chamber by spacing from each other. In a collar area surrounding the chamber, the sheet-like elements are connected to each other, wherein the waistband area is limited by an outer edge. For the controlled delivery of a medium stored in the chamber, this has a taper, which forms an outlet path connected to the chamber, which can be opened to the outside. For this purpose, the taper extends into a separable from the collar region separation section. This separating section is connected to the rest of the waistband region via a predetermined breaking line that intersects the taper, the break line serving to produce the opening at the taper.

Aus DE 201 02 348 U1 ist eine Verpackungseinheit bekannt, die an einer weiteren Verpackung gehalten ist. Diese Verpackungseinheit besteht aus einem kammerseitigen Teil und einem abtrennbaren Teil, die über eine Sollbruchlinie miteinander verbunden sind. Zur Öffnung einer Kammer der Verpackungseinheit wird die Sollbruchlinie aufgetrennt und dabei der abtrennbare Teil von dem kammerseitigen Teil entfernt, wobei gleichzeitig eine pipettenartige Verjüngung, die mit der Kammer verbunden ist, geöffnet wird.Out DE 201 02 348 U1 is known a packaging unit, which is held on a further packaging. This packaging unit consists of a chamber-side part and a separable part, which are connected to each other via a predetermined breaking line. To open a chamber of the packaging unit, the predetermined breaking line is separated, thereby removing the separable part of the chamber-side part, at the same time a pipette-like taper, which is connected to the chamber, is opened.

Eine derartige Verpackungseinheit ermöglicht ein komfortables Öffnen ohne Hilfsmittel und eine exakte Abgabe des in der Kammer enthaltenen Mediums.Such a packaging unit allows a comfortable opening without tools and an exact delivery of the medium contained in the chamber.

Wegen der leicht zu öffnenden Ausgestaltung der Verpackungseinheit besteht jedoch die Gefahr, dass der abtrennbare Teil ungewollt gegenüber dem kammerseitigen Teil geknickt wird und dabei die pipettenartige Verjüngung vorzeitig geöffnet wird und das Medium somit unkontrolliert austritt.Because of the easy-to-open design of the packaging unit, however, there is a risk that the separable part is accidentally kinked relative to the chamber side part while the pipette-like taper is opened prematurely and thus the medium emerges uncontrollably.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, bei einer gattungsgemäßen Verpakkungseinheit die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und trotz komfortabler Möglichkeit zum Öffnen der Kammer einen ungewollten Austritt des darin gespeicherten Mediums zu verhindern.The object of the invention is therefore to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a generic Verpakkungseinheit and despite comfortable way to open the chamber to prevent unwanted leakage of the medium stored therein.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Verpackungseinheit mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei ist der Trennabschnitt durch eine beabstandet zum Außenrand in den Bundbereich eingelassene Materialschwächung begrenzt, die den Trennabschnitt von einem Schutzabschnitt des Bundbereiches trennt. Dieser Schutzabschnitt deckt den Trennabschnitt zum Außenrand hin ab. Hierdurch können der Trennabschnitt und die Sollbruchstelle gegen versehentliche Krafteinwirkung abgeschirmt beziehungsweise stabilisiert werden, um ein vorzeitiges ungewolltes Auftrennen der Sollbruchstelle beispielsweise beim Transport oder bei Lagerung der Verpackungseinheit und damit ein Austreten des in der Kammer gespeicherten Mediums zu verhindern.This object is achieved by a packaging unit having the features of claim 1. In this case, the separating section is delimited by a material weakening introduced at a distance from the outer edge into the waistband region, which separates the separating section from a protective section of the waistband region. This protection section covers the separation section towards the outer edge. In this way, the separating portion and the predetermined breaking point can be shielded or stabilized against accidental force to prevent premature unwanted separation of the predetermined breaking point, for example, during transport or storage of the packaging unit and thus leakage of the medium stored in the chamber.

Dabei ist es günstig, wenn der wenigstens eine Schutzabschnitt in Verlängerung der Sollbruchlinie eine Biegesteifigkeit aufweist, die größer ist als die Biegesteifigkeit an der Sollbruchlinie. Auf diese Weise dient der Schutzabschnitt zur Stabilisierung der Sollbruchlinie gegenüber einem ungewollten Abknicken des Trennabschnittes.It is advantageous if the at least one protective section in extension of the predetermined breaking line has a flexural rigidity that is greater than the flexural rigidity at the predetermined breaking line. In this way, the protective section serves to stabilize the predetermined breaking line against unwanted bending of the separating section.

Vorteilhafterweise ist hierzu die Sollbruchlinie durch die Materialschwächung begrenzt, wodurch in besonders einfacher Weise eine erhöhte Biegesteifigkeit des ungeschwächten Schutzabschnittes gegenüber der Sollbruchlinie gewährleistet werden kann.Advantageously, for this purpose, the predetermined breaking line is limited by the weakening of the material, as a result of which a particularly high degree of flexural rigidity of the material is achieved in a particularly simple manner unattenuated protection section against the predetermined breaking line can be guaranteed.

Zudem ist es günstig, wenn der Bundbereich in Verlängerung der Sollbruchlinie wenigstens ein Stabilisierungsmittel aufweist, wodurch der Schutz gegen ein ungewolltes Auftrennen der Sollbruchlinie weiter verbessert werden kann.In addition, it is favorable if the waistband region has at least one stabilizing means in extension of the predetermined breaking line, whereby the protection against undesired separation of the predetermined breaking line can be further improved.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Stabilisierungsmittel dabei durch einen tiefgeformten Bereich gebildet, der in den Schutzabschnitt des Bundbereiches eingelassen ist. Durch einen solchen tiefgeformten Bereich kann der Schutzabschnitt zusätzlich ausgesteift werden, was dessen Biegesteifigkeit und den Schutz vor einem Abknicken des Trennabschnittes erhöht.Advantageously, the stabilizing agent is formed by a deep-shaped region, which is embedded in the protective portion of the waistband area. By such a deep-shaped region of the protective portion can be additionally stiffened, which increases its flexural rigidity and protection against kinking of the separation section.

Ferner ist es günstig, wenn sich der tiefgeformte Bereich U-förmig um den Trennabschnitt herum erstreckt, wodurch dieser besonders stabil ausgeführt ist.Furthermore, it is favorable if the deep-shaped region extends in a U-shape around the separating section, as a result of which it is designed to be particularly stable.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist die Materialschwächung zwei Schwächungsabschnitte auf, die sich an einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Verjüngung quer zur Sollbruchstelle erstrecken. Hierdurch kann die Sollbruchlinie an beiden Enden durch einen Schutzabschnitt abgedeckt werden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the material weakening has two weakening sections, which extend on opposite sides of the taper transversely to the predetermined breaking point. As a result, the predetermined breaking line can be covered at both ends by a protective section.

Vorteilhafterweise erstrecken sich die Schwächungsabschnitte jeweils beidseitig bis zum Außenrand, wodurch der wenigstens eine Schutzabschnitt bei bevorstehender Anwendung des Mediums vollständig von der übrigen Verpackungseinheit abgetrennt werden kann. Hierbei wird der Trennabschnitt freigegeben, der nun durch Auftrennen der Sollbruchlinie entfernt werden kann, um den Austrittspfad der Verjüngung nach Außen hin zu öffnen.Advantageously, the weakening sections each extend on both sides to the outer edge, as a result of which the at least one protective section can be completely separated from the rest of the packaging unit in the event of imminent application of the medium. In this case, the separating section is released, which can now be removed by separating the predetermined breaking line in order to open the exit path of the taper to the outside.

Alternativ hierzu erstreckt sich die Materialschwächung U-förmig um die Verjüngung herum. Die Schwächungsabschnitte sind dabei durch Abschnitte der Materialschwächung gebildet. Auf diese Weise kann ein einzelner zusammenhängender Schutzabschnitt definiert werden, der die Sollbruchlinie an beiden Enden abdeckt. Bei Abtrennen dieses einzelnen Schutzabschnittes können somit beide Enden der Sollbruchlinie gleichzeitig freigegeben werden, um die Verpackungseinheit zu öffnen.Alternatively, the material weakening extends in a U-shape around the taper. The weakening sections are formed by sections of material weakening. In this way, a single contiguous guard section can be defined that covers the frangible line at both ends. When separating this single protection section thus both ends of the Rupture line to be released simultaneously to open the packaging unit.

Dabei ist es günstig, wenn sich die U-förmige Materialschwächung beidseitig bis zum Außenrand erstreckt. Hierdurch kann der Schutzabschnitt vollständig entfernt werden, wodurch die Sollbruchlinie zum Öffnen der Verpackungseinheit besonders gut zugänglich ist.It is advantageous if the U-shaped material weakening extends on both sides to the outer edge. As a result, the protective portion can be completely removed, whereby the predetermined breaking line for opening the packaging unit is particularly accessible.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform weist die U-förmige Materialschwächung zwei zum Außenrand beabstandete Enden auf. Hierdurch verbleiben zum Einen alle wesentlichen Teile der Verpackungseinheit auch nach dem Öffnen an derselben, was eine wenigstens nahezu vollständige Entsorgung erleichtert. Zum anderen ist es hierbei möglich, den gegenüber dem übrigen Bundbereich umgelenkten Schutzabschnitt als Stützte zu nutzen, mittels der die Verpackungseinheit standfähig ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Verpackungseinheit nach dem Öffnen der Verjüngung im Wesentlichen aufrecht abzustellen, ohne dass das Medium aus der Kammer austreten kann.In an alternative embodiment, the U-shaped material weakening has two ends spaced from the outer edge. This leaves on the one hand all the essential parts of the packaging unit even after opening on the same, which facilitates at least almost complete disposal. On the other hand, it is possible in this case to use the opposite of the rest of the waistband deflected protective portion as a support, by means of which the packaging unit is stable. This makes it possible to leave the packaging unit after opening the taper substantially upright without the medium can escape from the chamber.

Ferner ist es günstig, wenn die Materialschwächung über ihre gesamte Länge durch einen Schnitt gebildet ist, wodurch die Übertragung einer äußeren Krafteinwirkung vom, Schutzabschnitt auf den Trennbereich besonders gut verhindert werden kann, was wiederum die Gefahr eines versehentlichen Abbrechens des Trennschnittes vermindert.Further, it is advantageous if the material weakening over its entire length is formed by a cut, whereby the transmission of an external force from the protective portion can be particularly well prevented on the separation area, which in turn reduces the risk of accidental breaking off of the separating cut.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn über die Länge des Schnittes mehrere Haftpunkte vorgesehen sind, um ein ungewolltes Entfernen des Schutzabschnittes vom Trennabschnitt und ein daraus resultierendes Freilegen der Sollbruchlinie zu vermeiden.It is advantageous if over the length of the cut a plurality of adhesion points are provided in order to avoid unintentional removal of the protective portion of the separating portion and a consequent exposure of the predetermined breaking line.

In einer hierzu alternativen Ausführungsform ist die Materialschwächung durch eine Perforation gebildet, was auch bei gewissen Krafteinwirkungen, wie sie beispielsweise beim Transport auftreten können, einen sicheren Verbleib des Schutzabschnittes in seiner den Trennabschnitt abdeckenden Position gewährleistet.In an alternative embodiment, the material weakening is formed by a perforation, which even with certain force effects, such as may occur during transport, a safe whereabouts of the Protected portion ensured in its part covering the separation position.

Zudem ist die Sollbruchlinie vorteilhafterweise durch eine Rillung oder Perforation gebildet, wodurch die zum Abtrennen des Trennabschnittes benötigte Kraft besonders genau vordefiniert werden kann.In addition, the predetermined breaking line is advantageously formed by a grooving or perforation, whereby the force required to separate the separating section can be predefined particularly accurately.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine peelfähige Folie vorgesehen ist, die am Trennabschnitt und am Schutzabschnitt anhaftet. Hierdurch muss zunächst die Folie von der übrigen Verpackungseinheit abgenommen werden, um anschließend den Schutzabschnitt vom Trennabschnitt entfernen und schließlich den Trennabschnitt abknicken zu können. Hierdurch kann die Verpackungseinheit auch kindersicher ausgeführt werden.In another embodiment, a peelable film is provided, which adheres to the separating portion and the protective portion. As a result, the film must first be removed from the remaining packaging unit, in order then to remove the protective section from the separating section and finally to be able to bend the separating section. As a result, the packaging unit can also be made childproof.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Verpackungseinheit 2 zur Aufnahme und Portionierung eines Mediums 4, das beispielsweise durch ein Fluid aus den Bereichen Medizin, Kosmetik, Chemie oder der Lebensmittelindustrie gebildet ist.The Fig. 1 and 2 show a packaging unit 2 for receiving and portioning a medium 4, which is formed for example by a fluid from the fields of medicine, cosmetics, chemicals or the food industry.

Die Verpackungseinheit 2 ist hierzu im Wesentlichen aus einem ersten flächigen Elementen 6 und einem zweiten flächigen Element 8 gebildet. Diese flächigen Elemente 6, 8 können beispielsweise aus Kunststoff als Folie oder Gußteil beziehungsweise als Tiefziehteil hergestellt sein.For this purpose, the packaging unit 2 is essentially formed from a first planar element 6 and a second planar element 8. These sheet-like elements 6, 8 may for example be made of plastic as a film or casting or as a deep-drawn part.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform weist das erste flächige Element 6, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, eine bauchige Kontur 10 auf, die eine mittels des zweiten flächigen Elementes 8 verschlossene Kammer 12 bildet, in der das Medium 4 gespeichert ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the first planar element 6, as in particular Fig. 2 can be seen, a bulbous contour 10, which forms a sealed by means of the second sheet-like element 8 chamber 12 in which the medium 4 is stored.

Um die Kammer 12 herum bilden die beiden Elemente 6, 8 einen Bundbereich 14, in dem sie miteinander verbunden sind. Die Verbindung kann dabei beispielsweise durch Kleben, Verschweißen oder Siegeln hergestellt werden. Nach Außen hin ist der Bundbereich 14, wie auch die Verpackungseinheit 2 insgesamt, durch einen Außenrand 16 begrenzt.Around the chamber 12 around the two elements 6, 8 form a collar portion 14 in which they are interconnected. The connection can be made for example by gluing, welding or sealing. Outwardly, the collar portion 14, as well as the packaging unit 2 in total, limited by an outer edge 16.

Zur kontrollierten Abgabe des Mediums 4 ist an der Kammer 12 eine Verjüngung 18 vorgesehen, die einen Austrittspfad 20 bildet, der mit der Kammer 12 verbunden ist. Über diesen Austrittspfad 20 kann das Medium 4 aus der Kammer 12 austreten.For controlled delivery of the medium 4, a taper 18 is provided on the chamber 12, which forms an exit path 20 which is connected to the chamber 12. About this exit path 20, the medium 4 can escape from the chamber 12.

Hierzu erstreckt sich die Verjüngung 18 bis in einen Trennabschnitt 22 hinein, der vom übrigen Bundbereich 14 abtrennbar ist. Dabei ist am Trennabschnitt 22 einerseits eine Sollbruchlinie 24 vorgesehen, die die Verjüngung 18 schneidet, sowie eine Materialschwächung 26, die sich U-förmig um die Verjüngung 18 herum erstreckt. Hierbei trennt die Materialschwächung 26, die beispielhaft durch einen Schnitt gebildet ist, den Trennabschnitt 22 von einem Teil des Bundbereiches 14, der den Trennabschnitt 22 zum Außenrand 16 hin abdeckt und somit als Schutzabschnitt 28 fungiert.For this purpose, the taper 18 extends into a separating section 22, which can be separated from the rest of the collar region 14. In this case, on the one hand, a predetermined breaking line 24 is provided on the separating section 22, which intersects the taper 18, and a material weakening 26, which extends in a U-shape around the taper 18 around. In this case, the material weakening 26, which is formed by a section by way of example, separates the separating section 22 from a part of the waistband region 14, which covers the separating section 22 towards the outer edge 16 and thus functions as a protective section 28.

Durch die U-förmige Ausbildung der Materialschwächung 26 weist diese zwei Schwächungsabschnitte 30 auf, die sich an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Verjüngung 18 jeweils bis zu einem Ende 32 erstrecken. Dabei begrenzen die Schwächungsabschnitte 30 die Sollbruchlinie 24 zu beiden Seiten hin, um eine erhöhte Biegesteifigkeit des Schutzabschnittes 28 gegenüber der Sollbruchlinie 24 zu erzielen.Due to the U-shaped design of the material weakening 26, this has two weakening sections 30 which extend on opposite sides of the taper 18 in each case to one end 32. In this case, the weakening sections 30 delimit the predetermined breaking line 24 on both sides in order to achieve an increased flexural rigidity of the protective section 28 with respect to the predetermined breaking line 24.

Zum Öffnen der Verpackungseinheit 2 wird, wie aus Fig. 3 zu entnehmen ist, zunächst der Schutzabschnitt 28, der bislang den Trennabschnitt 22 abgedeckt hat, gegenüber diesem umgelenkt. Dabei werden zwei Knickabschnitte 34 gebildet, die durch die beiden Enden 32 in ihrer Position vorgegeben sind und die sich von dem jeweiligen Ende 32 zum Außenrand 16 erstrecken.To open the packaging unit 2, as out Fig. 3 it can be seen, first the protective section 28, which has so far covered the separating section 22, compared to this deflected. In this case, two bending portions 34 are formed, which are predetermined by the two ends 32 in their position and which extend from the respective end 32 to the outer edge 16.

Auf diese Weise wird der Trennabschnitt 22 freigegeben, der nun durch Auftrennen der Sollbruchlinie 24 entfernt oder umgeknickt werden kann, um die Verjüngung 18 zu öffnen.In this way, the separating section 22 is released, which can now be removed or folded over by breaking the predetermined breaking line 24 in order to open the taper 18.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Materialeigenschaften der beiden flächigen Elemente 6, 8 derart bestimmt, dass der Schutzabschnitt 28 nach dem Umlenken in der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Position verbleibt. Hierdurch kann der Schutzabschnitt als Stütze fungieren, mittels der die Verpackungseinheit 2 mit nach oben weisender Verjüngung 18 abgestellt werden kann, ohne dass das Medium 4 austreten könnte.In the embodiment shown, the material properties of the two sheet-like elements 6, 8 are determined such that the protective portion 28 after deflecting in the in Fig. 3 remains shown position. In this way, the protective section can act as a support, by means of which the packaging unit 2 can be turned off with the taper 18 pointing upwards, without the medium 4 being able to escape.

Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen eine weiter Ausführungsform der Verpackungseinheit 2 bei der am Bundbereich 14 zusätzliche Stabilisierungsmittel 36 vorgesehen sind, die den Schutzabschnitt 28 aussteifen und dadurch dessen Biegesteifigkeit gegenüber der Biegesteifigkeit der Sollbruchlinie 24 deutlich erhöhen. Die Stabilisierungsmittel 36 sind dabei rippenförmig durch tiefgeformte Bereiche 38 des ersten flächigen Elementes 6 im Bundbereich 14 gebildet, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 zu entnehmen ist.The FIGS. 4 and 5 show a further embodiment of the packaging unit 2 in which additional stabilizing means 36 are provided on the collar region 14, which stiffen the protective portion 28 and thereby significantly increase its bending stiffness with respect to the flexural rigidity of the predetermined breaking line 24. The stabilizing means 36 are formed rib-shaped by deep-shaped portions 38 of the first sheet-like element 6 in the collar portion 14, as in particular from Fig. 5 can be seen.

Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen eine weitere Ausführungsform der Verpackungseinheit 2, bei der die Stabilisierungsmittel 36 durch einen einzelnen in das erste flächige Element 6 eingelassenen tiefgeformten Bereich 38 gebildet sind, der sich U-förmig um den Trennabschnitt 22 herum erstreckt.The FIGS. 6 and 7 show a further embodiment of the packaging unit 2, in which the stabilizing means 36 are formed by a single embedded in the first planar element 6 deep-shaped portion 38 which extends in a U-shape around the separating portion 22 around.

Wie aus Fig. 8 zu entnehmen ist, können entlang der als Vollschnitt ausgeführten Materialschwächung 26 mehrere Haftpunkte 40 vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise durch ein nachträglich aufgebrachtes Klebemittel gebildet sind.How out Fig. 8 can be seen, along the executed as a full cut material weakening 26 a plurality of adhesion points 40 may be provided, which are formed for example by a subsequently applied adhesive.

Alternativ hierzu kann die Materialschwächung 26 aber auch durch eine Perforation 42 gebildet sein, wie in Fig. 9 dargestellt.Alternatively, the material weakening 26 may also be formed by a perforation 42, as in Fig. 9 shown.

Bei der Ausbildung der Materialschwächung 26 als Perforation 42 ist es zudem auch möglich die beiden Schwächungsabschnitte 30, wie in Fig. 10 dargestellt, getrennt voneinander auszuführen und beidseitig bis an den Außenrand 16 zu führen. Hierdurch ist es möglich die beiden durch die Schwächungsabschnitte 30 getrennt ausgebildeten Schutzabschnitte 28 zur Freigabe des Trennabschnittes 22 vollständig vom übrigen Bundbereich 14 zu entfernen, wie in Fig. 11 dargestellt.In the formation of the material weakening 26 as a perforation 42, it is also possible the two weakening sections 30, as in Fig. 10 shown to run separately and to lead on both sides to the outer edge 16. As a result, it is possible to completely remove the two protection sections 28, which are formed separately by the weakening sections 30, in order to release the separating section 22 from the rest of the waistband region 14, as in FIG Fig. 11 shown.

Alternativ hierzu kann die als Perforation 42 ausgebildete Materialschwächung 26 aber auch U-förmig um die Verjüngung 18 herum ausgebildet sein und dabei zu beiden Seiten bis an den Außenrand 16 geführt sein, wie in Fig. 12 und 13 dargestellt. Auf diese Weise kann der nun einteilige, U-förmige Schutzabschnitt 28 vollständig vom übrigen Bundbereich 14 entfernt werden, wobei die Sollbruchlinie 24 zu beiden Seiten freigegeben wird.Alternatively, the material weakening 26 formed as a perforation 42 may also be U-shaped around the taper 18 and may be guided on both sides as far as the outer edge 16, as in FIG FIGS. 12 and 13 shown. In this way, the now one-piece, U-shaped protective portion 28 can be completely removed from the rest of the collar portion 14, wherein the predetermined breaking line 24 is released on both sides.

Die Fig. 14 und 15 zeigen eine weiter Ausführungsform der Verpackungseinheit 2, bei der eine abpeelbare Folie 44 vorgesehen ist, die an einer durch das zweite flächige Element 8 gebildeten Rückseite 46 vorgesehen ist. Diese Folie 44 erstreckt sich sowohl über den Trennabschnitt 22 als auch über Schutzabschnitt 28 und haftet an beiden an.The FIGS. 14 and 15 show a further embodiment of the packaging unit 2, in which a peelable film 44 is provided, which is provided on a back surface 46 formed by the second sheet-like element 8. This film 44 extends over both the separating section 22 and the protective section 28 and adheres to both.

Um zum Öffnen der Verpackungseinheit 2, wie oben beschrieben, den Schutzabschnitt 28 vom Trennabschnitt 22 beabstanden zu können, muss zunächst die Folie 44 abgezogen werden, wie in Fig. 15 dargestellt. Hierzu ist an der Folie 44 eine nicht anhaftende Abziehlasche 48 vorgesehen.In order to be able to space the protective section 28 from the separating section 22 in order to open the packaging unit 2, as described above, the foil 44 must first be removed, as in FIG Fig. 15 shown. For this purpose, a non-adhesive Abziehlasche 48 is provided on the film 44.
