Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container according to the preamble of claim 1, whose features EP 2 258 625 A
  • the articles of the container may be wrapped in a strapping formed by at least one strapping element, which strapping is looped around the article group and holds it together to form the bundle.
  • the strapping can have at least one closure with at least one closure element.
  • Articles within the meaning of the invention are containers, namely plastic, so for example, PET bottles, but also already in groups (multiple pack) combined articles.
  • PET bottles have a contact area, which is executed spherically curved, so that the articles or containers can virtually roll around one another around a circumferential path, that is to say on a "unrolling ring".
  • this is recognizable in the case of repeated use of the bottle, for example by means of the wear ring, which is usually recognizable in a light highlighting.
  • Such "roll-off rings” can be arranged in PET bottles not only in the head area but also in the foot area.
  • the production of the containers is carried out by the method, for example, in such a way that the containers are placed on a transport plane of a conveyor and oriented with their container axis in the vertical direction or substantially vertical direction in a mass transport or in a wide container flow the containers have an arbitrary orientation with regard to distinctive containers and / or features.
  • This wide container stream is then converted by lane division into several single-lane container streams.
  • the compartments of the containers or their container groups forming containers are separated from the single-lane container streams.
  • Another foil-free container is from the already mentioned EP 2 258 625 A2 known, in which the container has a gear-like cross-section with ribs and grooves for engagement with each other and Verzah NEN.
  • This document also describes a method for producing the container from the plastic containers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide containers of the type mentioned in which is always avoided in a simple way that the articles arrive in the transport in a nesting position, whereby even after the removal of one or more items from a container, the cohesion of the remaining Article in the container is retained or can be restored.
  • the contact or contact surface negatively interrupts the spherically configured contact region, ie the unrolling ring, in the radial direction and that the contact or contact surface is provided with an adhesive or adhesive application by combining and pressing together the other articles or containers directly adjacent to the "adhesive" article via this adhesive or adhesive application, the articles are joined together to form the strong and stable package, although the other articles of the package do not require this adhesive application It is advantageous if each article or container has an adhesive application to its directly adjacent article or container so that an article could be removed, the cohesion would be maintained even without strapping.
  • the articles are also referred to as containers.
  • the containers of the container are arranged in a non-nesting position.
  • “Adhesives” within the meaning of the invention are, inter alia, all materials or compounds with which an adhesive bond between containers is possible, in particular compounds, materials or compounds which, applied in the liquid or viscous state, form a self-adhesive order and / or under certain circumstances. turn of pressure and / or by energy input and / or after curing or crosslinking (also by energy input) effect an adhesive bond.
  • “Adhesives” within the meaning of the invention are, inter alia, also multi-layer materials, for example those of at least one carrier material, which is coated with a material with which an adhesive bond between containers is possible, ie at least two-sided adhesive and / or adhesive are active.
  • An “adhesive" container has adhesives or adhesives according to the invention, or is provided with an adhesive and adhesive application.
  • the adhesive or adhesive is preferably selected such that the containers are detachable manually or non-destructively from the container or separable from each other.
  • a negative interruption of the Abrollrings seen in the radial direction means in the context of the invention that the originally spherical, ie curved Abroll Scheme is flattened, that is flat. In this respect, the contact or contact area has a smaller outer diameter than the rest of the spherically configured Abrollring. Due to the flattening of the Abrollrings also quasi measures are taken, which hinder unimpeded unrolling, if not only allow sections and then prevent when two flats of adjacent containers or items together.
  • a positive interruption of the Abrollrings seen in the radial direction means that the contact or contact surfaces have a larger diameter or radius than the rest of Abrollring.
  • the contact or contact surfaces are more or less protruding from the rolling ring, or project beyond it. Even with this measure, it is conceivable that unhindered unrolling of adjacent containers to one another is made more difficult. It can be applied to the circumferentially spherically continuous contact area, ie on the Abrollring the adhesive application so that seen in the radial direction positive interruption is formed.
  • the advantage of a container according to the invention is that it is very stable in the production and conveying process and shows no tendency to fall into a nesting arrangement and this at lower contact forces, also by the strapping, in comparison to known solutions. Furthermore, there is an advantage that after the first release of the group of articles, these, also by the strapping or in the interaction of strapping or by the respective adhesive cohesion without strapping with a carrying handle or loop, these combined again into a stable unit become which the end user can transport easily and as a group of articles.
  • the article or container has the contact surface or contact surface, preferably provided with the adhesive agent application, on its head region and on its foot region or on one of the regions.
  • the two head-side and foot-side contact and contact surfaces are arranged vertically one above the other on a common vertical axis.
  • each article or container of the container at its head and at its foot has at least two circumferentially offset by 90 ° arranged contact and contact surfaces, wherein it is preferably provided that head-side and foot-side contact and Contact surfaces in a common vertical axis aligned with each other.
  • each article or container enough "splices" to each adjacent article or container have to hold the container together enough. Strapping can thus be dispensed with while maintaining the integrity of the package, even if one or more of the articles were removed from the package.
  • it can be ensured that the contact and contact surfaces of adjacent articles or containers are oriented toward one another so that they can then also lie exactly against one another.
  • Such alignment e.g. By aligning features is known, wherein the contact and contact surfaces can form the Ausrichtmerkmale. The orientation will not be discussed further.
  • the contact and contact surfaces can be different in their geometric design.
  • the contact and contact surfaces may be circular or polygonal, e.g. square, whereby opposite sides of the quadrangle can be slightly rounded.
  • the adhesive and adhesive can be applied. Conceivable, but not according to the invention, but also, as already mentioned, apply the adhesive and adhesive in such a thickness that the positive elevation results, so that the Abrollring seen in the circumferential direction is positively interrupted.
  • the adhesive application can be provided to apply the adhesive application as a thin film, ie as a thin layer which wets the entire contact and contact surface. But it is also possible to apply the adhesive particularly thick, so almost mushroom-like.
  • the particular container may be formed, for example, from four, six or nine articles or containers, the number mentioned being, of course, not limiting, but merely exemplary, each of the containers or a selected number of more than one container having an adhesive application can be provided.
  • the container of four containers formed with the contact and contact surfaces, and has a strapping, it makes sense if only one of the container, so a single container, which has the adhesive application, is a corner container. This has direct contact with two adjacent containers, which are so glued to the "sticky" container. Of course it is also possible to provide two containers with adhesive.
  • the container is formed of six containers with the contact and contact surfaces, and has a strapping, wherein the containers are arranged in two rows to three containers or in three rows to two containers, it is expedient to provide a single container from a central position to be provided with the adhesive.
  • This "sticky" container has direct contact with the other container of the central and adjacent corner containers.
  • a container of six containers are advantageous only 16.67% of the container or a single container provided with adhesive and adhesive. Of course it is also possible to provide two or three containers with adhesive.
  • the container of nine containers formed with the contact and contact surfaces, and has a strapping, wherein the containers are arranged in three rows to three containers, it is purposeful in the context of the invention, if only the central container as an "adhesive" container is executed. For a container of nine containers only 11.11% or one container is provided with adhesive. Of course, it is also possible to provide two, three or four or more containers with adhesive.
  • each of the containers is dispensed with, it is purposefully provided for each of the containers to "stick" to its directly adjacent container. Of course, this can also be provided if the strapping is used.

But so are the "adhesive dots" or the “adhesive strips” in a desired orientation to the adjacent containers.
  • the containers can be aligned with each other.
  • a harmonic, visually appealing appearance which u.a. provides an additional incentive to buy, especially against containers with arranged in arbitrary orientation containers.
  • An advantageous embodiment is when the respective strapping of the container can be opened and closed several times and beyond the loop length of the loop formed by the strapping is arbitrarily often changed, so after removal of an article or container from a container by shortening the loop length or by re-tightening the strapping remaining in the container items or containers are kept there or fixed.
  • the formulation that "the strapping of the containers can be opened and closed several times" is understood to mean that an extension of the length of the loop formed by the strapping already leads to its opening. A complete severing of the strapping, or a mutual loosening of the ends of the loop is possible, but not mandatory.
